bout a decade ago, Sean Williams brought his daughters to the fifth floor of Lawrence’s Eldridge Hotel to catch a glimpse of a ghost rumored to haunt room 506.

Escorted by Assistant General Manager David Longhurst, the group passed several sconces throwing a dim light onto the narrow walls of the hallway.

The room crept up on their left.

As they opened the door, lightning struck, Williams said.

“The curtains moved and there was a lightning flash and it was just perfect. They squealed and got goosebumps,” he said. “We were pretty much convinced that the ghost was there and the girls were nervous about it.”

LAWRENCE

We’re the vast majority of the population (in the county). I just think there are other things that we could do.”

— City Manager Tom Markus

Last year, state lawmakers passed a law that requires cities and counties to get voter approval before increasing property tax revenues from one year to the next beyond the rate of inflation. The tax policy, which goes into effect in 2018, has since been modified to include a number of exemptions that will allow cities and counties to increase revenues without voter approval under certain conditions. For instance, increased revenues from new construction, annexation of new territory and the expiration of property tax abatements given for economic development incentives would not require a vote.

As part of his city hall update, Markus told attendees that Lawrence was already “ahead of the curve” when it came to

working with the county, but that more could be done. The city and county already combine their services for fire and medical, health department, senior, and planning services.

“I actually think we could do even more,” Markus said. “You’ve got the culture to do those things and I think it would actually make things more efficient if we could get ourselves there. A lot of times these things are challenged because parochial interests kind of get in the way of these things, but, quite frankly, I do think that those are opportunities for us.”

Specifically, Markus said he saw the county’s new public works facili-

ties as a missed opportunity to include Lawrence.

While it is too late on that project, others moving forward are using the strategy.

For instance, a joint effort has been undertaken for the renovation of Fire Station No. 1, which is housed in the same building as Douglas County Senior Services. The original plan for the renovation included only the fire station, even though it shares infrastructure with the senior center.

“So when I looked at it, I asked what I thought was a pretty logical question: Why aren’t we doing the whole building at the same time?” Markus said. “It just doesn’t make sense to do it piecemeal.

nificant incident in Longhurst’s mind took place about four years ago.

These days the hotel is modernized with electronic key cards used to open each room, Longhurst said. But one day, none of the staff’s cards — including his master key — would open the door to 506.

Staff made new keys for the door and replaced the battery in the lock, but no dice, Longhurst said. The door wouldn’t open.

Eventually, the group was forced to take the door off its hinges to get into the room, he said.

“The deadbolt was locked from the inside,” he said. “It’s on the fifth floor and the windows are sealed. There’s no way you could lock that from the inside and get out.”

If the ghost does indeed exist and it is the spirit of Eldridge, Longhurst said it may be attracted to 506 because inside the wall of that room is a cornerstone from the original building.

Williams said the rumors of the Eldridge’s ghost are well known throughout Lawrence.

And while there are perfectly good explanations for his family’s experience with the alleged specter, he still believes in ghosts.

“I do believe in ghosts.

And I think that the more attention you pay to them, the more inclined they might be to hide out,” he said. “I think they show up when you least expect.”

Parade

learning of the center’s approximately $55,000 cut in city funding.

“The donor stipulated that the donation stay with the Arts Center,” Bishop said.

Upon learning that, parade organizer Patty Kennedy told me she was understanding. And to be clear, parade organizers were more confused than angry at the Arts Center.

And for their part, Arts Center officials say they are sad that they aren’t able to donate to the parade this year.

“We love the parade and really value it, but it is not essential to our operations. We have had to repurpose that money,” Bishop said. “But we would love to find a way to support it in the future.”

All that aside, the parade is facing an unexpected $5,000 deficit. The shortfall won’t sink this year’s parade because it has some reserves that it can use to put on the event that costs about $30,000 in actual cash and another $20,000 in donated services.

The funding concern is mainly related to the 2017 parade. If this year’s parade depletes all its re-

There was a bit of a rumor that the parade wouldn’t take place this year. That was never true, but there is worry about the financial future of the parade. Unfortunately, financial worry about the parade has become common in recent years. But this year’s worry comes with a different twist.

Back in 2014, I reported that the parade was facing financial difficulties after its prime corporate sponsor pulled out. But then an anonymous donor came riding in on a white horse with a pledge of $5,000 per year for the next three years. The donor, however, didn’t make the pledge directly to the parade, which never has organized as a 501(c)3, but instead made the pledge to the Lawrence Arts Center. The Arts Center passed the money along, had its name added to the parade’s marketing materials, and all was good.

But then in July, parade organizers received an email from then Arts

Center CEO Susan Tate notifying them that the $5,000 donation would not be available this year. The letter made no mention of the anonymous donor, but rather bemoaned a cut in Arts Center funding proposed by City Manager Tom Markus.

That was a lead-up to notification that the parade would not receive the $5,000 donation. Parade organizers, though, were confused. They thought the anonymous donor had specifically earmarked the donation for support of the parade.

Marty Kennedy, the former Lawrence mayor who is one of the organizers of the parade, said he reached out to the Arts Center but the Arts Center was in transition — Tate was in the process of leaving and new CEO Kimberly Williams was in the process of arriving — and he didn’t hear much.

I reached out to the Arts Center recently and got more clarification. After doing some checking, chief communications officer Sarah Bishop told me that the anonymous donor changed the earmark on his donation after

electric and plumbing; if you’re going to do it, do it all at once. So that’s what we’re doing.”

As a result, the scope of the renovation was expanded, and a cost-sharing agreement between the county and city to redo the entire building was approved this month by both governing bodies. The project now calls for a $6.4 million renovation that will include both facilities.

The more than onehour presentation and question and answer session covered various topics, including the city’s capital improvement plan, strategic planning, affordable housing and upcoming construction projects. About 30 people attended the talk, which was hosted by Ecumenical Campus Ministries and was open to the public.

Following the talk, Markus added that in addition to the ways mentioned, he thinks the city and the county could also work together more

Try to avoid neighborhoods without sufficient street lighting, she suggests, and always carry a flashlight or glow stick with you (or reflective gear, if it doesn’t clash with your costume, of course) to keep motorists alert.

“Accidents definitely occur on nights that kids are out trick-or-treating,” Rhoads says.

Because streets are typically more trafficpacked than usual on Halloween, it’s especially important on this night to use sidewalks and crosswalks, she adds. Rhoads offers the same advice to adults planning on hitting the bars and Halloween parties this weekend.

Be aware of your surroundings, she says, and exercise responsible behavior.

Once the kids are home, take a look at the contents of their candy bags, Rhoads suggests.

serves this year, it could be in a perilous position for 2017. Plus, this year’s parade only has about 15 of the normal 60 small business and individual sponsors that it normally receives, although the solicitation process isn’t yet complete.

“To make up the $5,000 that we’ve lost, we would need to get about 20 more individual sponsors,” Patty Kennedy said. “Quite frankly, I don’t know where we are going to come up with 20 more sponsors.”

The parade does receive $8,000 in transient guest tax money from the city of Lawrence.

The parade has asked for $10,000 in guest tax funds, but didn’t have its request fully funded during the 2016 cycle.

Marty Kennedy said parade organizers would rather find a major corporate sponsor than ask for more city funding.

“I know the city doesn’t want us using that guest tax fund every year,” Kennedy said. “They would like us to find that corporate sponsor.”

serve as lead sponsors for the parade. But finding a major corporate sponsor has been difficult.

Seeking more money from the city’s guest tax fund seems like a possibility. The parade always draws tens of thousands of people to downtown Lawrence. How many of them stay in a hotel room and thus pay the guest tax is a little unclear. Parade organizers said they hope to gather better data about that this year.

The city has a relatively new grant application program for events seeking guest tax funding. It has a $15,000 cap on how much any one event can receive.

I think there may be some questions of philosophy on how that fund should be used. Among them: — There is a belief that the guest tax fund should be used to fund events that generate lots of hotel bookings, since hotel stays are what produces the guest tax revenue.

There’s some logic to that, but there’s a counter argument too. If we used that logic with regular old sales tax collections, we would only use sales tax money to fund things that produced more

retail spending. The city certainly hasn’t taken that approach with sales tax dollars. Even if the Christmas parade doesn’t put a lot of heads in hotel beds, it undoubtedly helps build the image of Lawrence as a unique and vibrant community.

— City officials need to decide whether the guest tax grant program is meant to simply be an incubator for new events. In other words, is the grant program designed to provided some needed seed money to new events?

That’s one idea. Another would be that the grant program is used to significantly support a handful of signature events in the community. Determining what is a signature event probably would be a messy political process.

Where that leaves funding for future parades is unclear. Those of you wanting to make a donation to the parade can do so by getting in contact with Marty or Patty Kennedy at Lawrence’s Kennedy Glass.

Challenger Richey calls Francisco out on ‘pass’ votes

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — State Sen. Marci Francisco is being called out by her Republican challenger for voting “pass” 187 times during her 12 years in the Kansas Legislature, including once on a 2006 resolution condemning actions of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka.

Republican Meredith Richey, of Perry, issued a statement Wednesday, the same day the Journal-World published a story detailing her political work in California from 2004 through

Richey

Francisco

2008 opposing same-sex marriage and other gay rights initiatives.

Richey noted that many of the items on which Francisco voted “pass” were supported by every other member of the Senate, and some were signed

into law by former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.

“My opponent’s record clearly indicates that she is not willing to work across party lines to find solutions for Kansas and that she is willing to jeopardize the safety of our children and community,” Richey said.

Richey specifically pointed to a 2006 concurrent resolution in the Senate condemning the church and its leader, the late Fred Phelps Sr., for picketing at the funerals of soldiers who had died in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Phelps and his followers

claimed those deaths were God’s punishment for America’s tolerance of homosexuality.

In response, Francisco pointed to a campaign mailer she sent out in 2008 explaining that she passed because the resolution “did not honor the separation of church and state.” That mailer also noted that she voted in favor of a bill that year to restrict picketing at funerals.

In its original form, according to Senate records, Senate Concurrent Resolution 1623 included a statement that read: “That the Kansas Legislature wishes it to be known throughout the na-

tion that the people of Kansas largely embrace a true Christian message of love for one’s neighbors, rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep and that Mr. Phelps and his followers do not reflect the true spirit of the people of Kansas.”

The word “Christian” was later changed to “religious” by an amendment that Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, pushed through in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee.

High court hears challenge to Mission’s ‘driveway tax’

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Is it a fee, or is it a tax? That’s the question the Kansas Supreme Court is being asked to decide in a case that could have implications for local governments throughout the state.

In 2010, the city of Mission enacted what it calls a “transportation utility fee,” or TUF, but which many people refer to as the “driveway tax.” The fee is levied against all improved property in the city, based on the number of vehicle trips that property generates. The money is used to pay for street maintenance, bicycle paths and other transportation projects.

Single-family homes are charged a flat $72 per year, but multifamily homes and com-

The fee is levied against all improved property in Mission, based on the number of vehicle trips that property generates. mercial property are charged more, based on a formula that estimates how many vehicle trips the property generates.

Mission is a city of about 9,500 people in Johnson County. Because it is surrounded on all sides by other cities and the state of Missouri, it cannot grow geographically, and the city argues that it doesn’t have enough revenue from traditional sources like property and sales taxes to adequately maintain its city streets.

The TUF has typically generated nearly $800,000 a year for Mission, money the city says could only be replaced with higher property taxes.

Thomas Murray, an attorney for the city, argued Wednesday that the fee is no different from stormwater utility fees, which most cities in Kansas now charge and which pay the cost of storm drain improvements and the cost of maintaining a federal permit for discharging stormwater into public waterways.

But Heartland Apartment Association Inc., an organization that represents apartment owners and managers in Kansas, challenged the law, arguing it is not a fee, but instead an illegal “excise tax.”

Attorney Mary Jo Shaney said the TUF “falls readily into the

classification of a tax” because it is used to pay for “a classic, traditional function of government.”

Under Kansas law, cities and counties have only limited power to levy excise taxes, which are essentially taxes on anything other than real estate value or retail sales. The only excise taxes they can levy are utility franchise fees, occupation taxes and license fees, development taxes that were in place before 2006, and excise taxes on tickets sold for concerts or other events at municipally owned facilities.

The Kansas Association of Realtors and the National Federation of Independent Businesses filed friend of the court briefs in the case supporting the apartment association’s challenge.

Faith group releases recommendations on criminal justice

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Local interfaith coalition Justice Matters re leased a list of six recommendations Wednesday as part of a report on the county’s criminal justice reform plans, including calls for the immediate establishment of a crisis center and suspension of all funding for the proposed expansion of the Douglas County Jail.

The group’s report argues that the county should explore programs that have proven safe and successful elsewhere before moving forward on the $30 million jail expansion project, said Ben MacConnell, the group’s lead organizer.

Topping the list of recommendations is a call for the county to immediately establish a mental health crisis intervention center. The current County

The group is also recommending that the county hire consultants from the Vera Institute or the Justice Management Institute to conduct a “full data-based analysis of the local criminal justice system.” MacConnell said both consulting groups have a proven track record of addressing jail

overcrowding and the disproportionate incarceration of people of color.

Proposals elsewhere in the report include more aggressive implementation of programs already in the county’s pipeline, such as the behavioral health court and a pretrial monitoring program that supervises released inmates to ensure they make court dates.

BRIEFLY Armed robbery reported on Iowa One man was robbed of his shoes and jacket Wednesday morning at a Lawrence hotel, police documents say.

At 2:22 a.m., a robbery was reported at Days Inn, 730 Iowa St., according to a Lawrence Police Department incident report.

Department logs classified the incident as an armed robbery with nine officers responding to the scene.

The man told police he was robbed of his driver’s license, Air Jordan shoes and a Star Wars jacket, the report says.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said additional details were not immediately available because the incident’s report was not yet complete.

As of Wednesday afternoon no arrests in the Douglas County Jail booking logs correspond with the robbery’s incident number.

This is the third armed robbery reported in Lawrence in a week.

Westar requests slight rate increase Westar Energy customers are likely to see a slight increase in their bills starting next summer.

Westar Energy Inc. has filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission to adjust its prices by 1 percent or $17.4 million, according to a news release Wednesday from Westar.

The request was expected by regulators and allows the company to recover costs that weren’t final at the time of last year’s full price review. According to the news release, the request reflects the remaining costs of mandated environmental upgrades to comply with clean air regulations, life-extension improvements to Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station and investments to protect the grid against power outages.

The KCC will review the request with a resulting price adjustment anticipated in June 2017. The price adjustment for residential customers will be on average about $1.54 per month.

Votes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

When the bill came to the full Senate for consideration March 14, 2006, Francisco offered an amendment to strike the word “religious.” Her amendment failed, and the following day when it came up for a final vote, it passed 39-0, with Francisco voting “present and passing.”

Under the Kansas Constitution, it takes 21 “yes” votes for any bill or resolution to pass, and Francisco has said that a “pass” vote has the same effect as a “no” vote.

In her statement Wednesday, Richey said that means Francisco voted against a resolution condemning the Westboro Baptist Church’s picketing of military funerals.

“What is most con-

.

cerning is that Senator Francisco was the only Senator to vote against condemning the horrendous actions of the Westboro Baptist Church and the funeral picketing of fallen soldiers,” Richey said. “As a mother of a veteran, I find it very concerning that an elected official would in any way signal their support for the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church.”

Francisco said she routinely sends out newsletters to her constituents during legislative sessions explaining her votes on all issues, including her “pass” votes.

“It means there’s stuff about those issues I agree with,” she said. “If I vote ‘pass,’ it means I’m not against everything in the bill.

It means I want to make amendments so I can support it. It’s a recognition that I’m in agreement with some of

what’s being proposed.”

Richey also noted that Francisco has been criticized by her Senate colleagues over her “pass” votes, including once earlier this year when Hensley criticized her in a text message for passing on a Republicanbacked school funding bill that Democrats opposed and which the Kansas Supreme Court later ruled was unconstitutional.

Francisco and Hensley have apparently put that disagreement behind them. Francisco pointed to an Oct. 18 statement in which Hensley endorsed Francisco for re-election, saying, “She has been an invaluable member of the Senate Democratic Caucus, and no one works harder for the people of Douglas and Jefferson counties.”

Mission CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The city argued that the TUF is not an excise tax, but rather a user fee that is based on the amount of benefit a property owner derives from the city’s transportation network.

A Johnson County judge ruled in the city’s favor in 2013, saying the TUF was not an excise tax.

But the Kansas Court of Appeals last year reversed that decision, saying, “There is, at most, only a tangential relationship between the amount charged for the street maintenance of the streets abutting the developed property and the property owner’s actual use of those city streets.”

Mission City Administrator Laura Smith said — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock that because of last year’s can be reached at 354-4222. Follow Court of Appeals decihim on Twitter: @LJWpqhancock sion, the city’s governing

body elected not to levy the fee for 2016 or 2017 while it waits for the Supreme Court to resolve the issue.

Erik Sartorius, executive director of the League of Kansas Municipalities, said he is not aware of any other city in Kansas that levies a transportation fee similar to Mission’s, but he said local governments throughout the state are watching the Mission case closely.

Bryan Kidney, finance director for the city of Lawrence, said Lawrence currently does not levy any fees similar to Mission’s driveway tax, but he and local government officials in other cities have been following the case with interest because if the Supreme Court rules in favor of Mission, it could open up a new source of revenue for local governments, one that other cities may want to tap into.

Hill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Almost certainly more gripping than policies about higher education policy is a play running right now at KU — specifically, according to a KU School of the Arts communications coordinator, “a dark comedy centered around a love triangle that is complicated by standards of gender and sex, as well as expectations of heterosexual marriage roles.”

The last performance of “Late, A Cowboy Song,” by playwright Sarah Rule, is set for 7:30 p.m. today in the William Inge Memorial Theatre at Murphy Hall. For ticket information, visit kutheatre.com/ late-cowboy-song.

EDITORIALS

Transparency The school district should have been more open about a recent case of allegedly offensive remarks by a middle school teacher.

T

he Lawrence school district’s defensive handling of an alleged racial incident at South Middle School threatens to further fuel growing mistrust of the district by parents and students, especially those who are minorities.

Here is what is known: A longtime South Middle School teacher is alleged to have said something in class that offended one or more students. The allegation was serious enough that the district has suspended the teacher with pay pending an investigation into the matter.

The district has not discussed what is alleged to have been said. The district hasn’t named the teacher and asked concerned residents who wished to discuss the matter at Monday’s school board meeting to refrain from using names out of fear of violating the teacher’s confidentiality and perhaps giving rise to legal action against the school district.

The district said that what is alleged to have been said could amount to discrimination, harassment, hazing or bullying or some combination of those or none of those. The district wouldn’t offer a timeline for its investigation.

“Each particular situation is different, and so I don’t generally have a predetermined notion of how long something’s going to take,” David Cunningham, the district’s executive director of human resources and legal services, told the Journal-World on Tuesday. “We will move with all due diligence to investigate, but I can’t give you ‘it’ll be done by’ or ‘I expect it to be done by’ because I don’t want to create expectations that I can’t ultimately meet.”

While it’s understandable that the school district wants to ensure it isn’t violating the rights of its employees, it can and should be more open and transparent about the incident. Discussing, in general, what is alleged to have been said would at least allow the public to put the incident into context and give parents the opportunity to discuss the issue with their adolescent children.

Instead, an emotionally charged audience that turned out for Monday’s school board meeting is left with more questions than answers, more suspicion than confidence.

It doesn’t help that earlier this month, the school district touted the increasing diversity of its employees only to find out later that those advances were almost all in noncertified staff such as para-educators, custodians and food-service workers.

By contrast, diversity among the district’s classroom teachers, the district acknowledged, falls woefully short of reflecting the demographics of Lawrence’s population.

The Lawrence school district is by no means unique in facing challenges related to issues of race and fairness in public education. Confronting such with honesty and transparency in a way that fosters community discussion is the only way forward. Here’s hoping the leadership of the Lawrence school district comes to recognize that sooner rather than later.

TODAY IN HISTORY On Oct. 27, 1787, the first of the Federalist Papers, a series of essays calling for ratification of the United States Constitution, was published. l In 1941, the Chicago Daily Tribune dismissed the possibility of war with Japan, editorializing, “She cannot attack us. That is a military impossibility. Even our base at Hawaii is beyond the effective striking power of her fleet.”

America shaped by Emmett Till’s death So what was it they were trying to kill?

After all, the sign standing near the Tallahatchie River is cratered by dozens of bullet holes. More than idle target practice, it suggests a frenzy of gunfire, an attempt to kill something. And the something is not really that hard to name.

Memory. They sought to assassinate memory.

The damaged sign, discovered last week and posted to Facebook by student filmmaker Kevin Wilson Jr., marks the spot where the body of Emmett Till, barbed wire around his neck tying him to a 75-pound fan from a cotton gin, surfaced 61 years ago.

He had traveled to the nothing town of Money, Miss., to visit family for the summer. Emmett, a 14-yearold black boy from Chicago unschooled in the ways of the Jim Crow South, accepted a schoolboy dare: Bet you won’t whistle at that white woman in the store. He carried out the challenge, wolfwhistling at 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant.

Four days later, her husband, Roy Bryant, and his half-brother, J.W. Milam, came for him in the dark of night.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

Whoever destroyed that sign represents, albeit crudely, an emerging American consensus.”

The body that was pulled from the Tallahatchie River three days afterward barely resembled a human being, much less a prankish boy. It was bloated to the point of shapelessness and had been savagely beaten. An eye had been gouged out. There was a bullet hole in the skull.

The brothers freely admitted the kidnapping. A witness placed Milam at a barn inside of which he said he heard a child being tortured. Yet jurors acquitted them in under an hour.

One said it took that long only because they stopped to “drink pop.”

Emmett’s mother, Mamie

Till Mobley, insisted on an open casket funeral. She said she wanted the world to see what had happened to her child in America. The world saw and was horrified. African Americans saw and seethed with a familiar outrage that was old even then.

Four months later, an Alabama seamstress named Rosa Parks refused a bus driver’s demand for her seat.

There are those who say the two events were not unrelated.

And here, perhaps the reader looks to the writer for assurance that while you can vandalize a sign you cannot, in fact, murder memory. The writer has no such assurance to give.

Whoever destroyed that sign represents, albeit crudely, an emerging American consensus. It says that things which give us pain are better off forgotten, some memories better off dead.

So you get Cal Thomas and Snoop Dogg complaining that “Roots” has been remade. And textbooks teaching slavery as “immigration.” And Margaret Biser, a docent on a Southern plantation, writing of being scolded once that talking

about slave life “is bringing down America.”

Forget about it, they say.

Forget Rubin Stacy and Mary Turner. Forget Trayvon Martin. Forget Emmett Till.

We’d never say, Forget Anne Frank. That would be like killing her all over again. But then, America bears no conscience scars there. America did not kill her. In its intransigence and hatred it did, however, kill Emmett.

Nor is this the first time the marker of that tragedy has been damaged. In Mississippi such markers are often vandalized.

With spray paint and guns or just refusal and denial, some of us seek to murder memory. But others of us stand stubbornly in memory’s defense. One is glad to hear money is being raised to replace the sign.

Besides, even if you kill memory, you do not escape the past. America is shaped

by Emmett Till’s death and always will be, even if we no longer know his name.

We make history. But history makes us, too.

PUBLIC FORUM

Coarse Americans To the editor: There have been name-calling, vituperative presidential campaigns in the past but none like this one in my lifetime. The level of coarseness, disregard for real issues, the demonizing of diversity of background and of divergence of opinion all have set records for the mid-20th century and beyond. This horrendous mess has not appeared just as a result of this campaign. No, Donald is not responsible for all of this. This sort of coarseness of American culture has been growing for some time; we are merely seeing an especially accomplished practitioner of vulgarity in action.

There has been a real change in American culture in recent decades.

The concepts of respect for and tolerance of others, of rational debate, of limits to public behavior have been eroded. Children have learned how to behave by watching Jerry Springer and Howard Stern and a long series of comedies that compete to present increasing grossness. The internet has fostered the practice of anonymous, vicious, offensive and sometimes frightening attacks on anyone holding an opinion different from those of the writers. Belittling and condemnation of entire groups of people have become much more acceptable.

We can change this. We need to speak up when we encounter people spouting disrespect and intolerance.

Parents need to be constantly aware of their role in shaping their children’s values. We should be mindful of what values we support with our time and money. Let’s all strive to be the persons we really would like to be.

Joe Douglas, Lawrence

Hyped election To the editor: There has been way too much hyperbole (“hype” for short) in this election season. Webster defines hyperbole as “speech which obviously exaggerates.”

Wow! One candidate (I will not use names here) tries to tell us that “our military is lacking.” In fact, we have the best, most prepared and competent military on the earth. The candidate says that our Navy is lacking in the number of ships it needs. According to who? How does this candidate, who did not serve one day of military service (myself, I served in the Vietnam era), know one single thing about military affairs or naval strength and strategy?

The candidate wants to make America “great” again. Hmm... Define this.

We are the greatest nation that ever existed on the face of the earth. If it is not so hot for you, well, maybe you need to look at you. Possibly a lot of the folks spreading this hype (see my definition) are simply unable to figure out just what “great” is and how really blessed they are and what opportunities they have to be American citizens.

Don’t listen to the hyperbole spread by various candidates and politicians who have agendas that have become illogical drivel in this election season.

I hope that most of our citizens are intelligent enough to recognize that all this “hype” is just that: “Speech which obviously exaggerates.”

Fred Whitehead, Lawrence

Court smokescreen To the editor: Kansans should not be deceived into thinking that the campaign to “vote NO

on activist judges” (Journal-World, Oct. 23) is about the Carr murder case. That case was settled in 2014; the sadistic murderers were not set free; the Kansas Supreme Court decision in question only involved significant errors in the sentencing phase, not in the guilty verdict, and was in any case overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court.

What the campaign is about is giving Gov. Sam Brownback and his cohorts immediate control over the judicial branch of Kansas government and shaping the court for decades to come. That court could support their political ideology on the two main issues hidden behind the Carr smokescreen: school funding and abortion.

Brownback and Co. may not (or may) want to destroy public schools, but having driven Kansas government to the brink of bankruptcy, they are loath to take on the responsibility for adequately funding public education, K through 16. They may not (or may) be cynically manipulating abortion as a wedge issue, but its emotive power as a rallying cry for activist citizens (not judges) is not lost on any politician.

“An activist court is a court that makes a decision you don’t like” ( Justice Anthony Kennedy). Base your vote on the judge’s qualifications, not on political propaganda. Let’s retain the independence of the Kansas judiciary, as our constitution intended.

rado’s move to legalize recreational marijuana has caused an increase in fatal crashes, said Glenn Davis, the state’s highway safety manager.

In 2015, 21% of the 31,166 fatal crashes in the U.S. involved at least one driver who tested positive for drugs after the incident — up from 12% in 2005, according to NHTSA. The rate rose in 14 of the past 15 years, falling for the first time last year. It was down less than 1 percentage point compared with 2014.

“Drugs is emerging as a higher number,” said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

A separate federal study of 11,000 weekend, nighttime drivers found 15.1% tested positive for illegal drugs in 2013 and 2014, up from 12.4% in 2007. Marijuana

Ten years ago, when USA TODAY Sports first tracked the compensation for major-college football head coaches, making $3 million was a singular distinction belonging to Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops.

This season, there are at least 36 coaches above that threshold — or, more than half of the 64 at schools in the five wealthiest conferences: the Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12 and Southeastern.

Leading the way is Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh, whose basic annual pay is $7 million but whose total for this season is $9 million because he drew an extra $2 million deferred compensation payment in June.

Defending national champion and No. 1-ranked Alabama’s Nick Saban is making nearly $7 million, and Urban Meyer’s pay from Ohio State this year edged just above $6 million. Stoops is fourth at $5.55 million.

On average, head coaches at Power Five conference schools are being paid nearly $3.5 million this season. When the season began, there were 20 scheduled to be paid more than $4 million, including nine of 14 in the SEC, where the median compensation is nearly $4.2 million.

No college football coaches had reached $4 million prior to the 2009 season, and only eight were there as recently as 2013.

The percentage of traffic deaths in which at least one driver tested positive for drugs has nearly doubled over a decade, raising alarms as five states are set to vote on legalization of marijuana.

Amid a disquieting increase in overall U.S. traffic fatalities, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has tracked an upswing in the percentage of drivers testing positive for illegal drugs and prescription medications, according to federal data released to USA TODAY and interviews with leaders in the field.

The increase corresponds with

Recreational marijuana use is now legal in Colorado, Washington state, Oregon, Alaska and the District of Columbia, even as it remains outlawed on a federal level. Five states — Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada — are set to vote on legalization.

Key EpiPen competitor due in 2017 at ‘very, very low’ cost Mylan has taken a hit for hefty price hikes Jayne O’Donnell @jayneodonnell USA TODAY

Allergy sufferers will have at least one more option to treat life-threatening allergic reactions in the first half of 2017, but it’s unclear how the price of the medicine will compare to the EpiPen or its upcoming generic version.

Kaleo, which makes the Auvi-Q, will reintroduce the epinephrine auto-injector at a “very,

very low” cost to patients, Kaleo CEO Spencer Williamson said.

Mylan Specialty, the maker of EpiPen, came under fire from members of Congress and parents beginning in August for its large price increases.

It’s been a long road to EpiPen competition.

Drugmaker Sanofi, which previously licensed the Auvi-Q from Kaleo, voluntarily recalled all of the injectors late last year amid concerns about incorrect dosing.

Sanofi later sold the rights back to Kaleo, which says it fixed the problem and invested in new technology and quality systems to boost reliability.

In March, the Food and Drug Administration rejected an application by Teva Pharmaceuticals to produce a generic version of the EpiPen, citing “certain major deficiencies.” Impax Labs has a generic version of the EpiPen that can be substituted for EpiPens in 21 states. Last month, Mylan CEO Heather Bresch told a House panel that the company would introduce its own generic of its brand-name product.

Data out Tuesday showed EpiPen prescriptions increased despite price hikes in the past few years, Athenahealth reported.

month, Athenahealth found.

Epinephrine auto-injectors are used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.

The move toward high-deductible insurance plans led many to struggle more with Mylan’s price increases over the past two years.

When insurers and employers cover more of the costs of highpriced drugs through low deductibles and co-payments, premiums go up for everyone, drug pricing experts say.

Williamson downplayed those concerns Tuesday. “What we believe is more important is the price to the patient,” he said.

represented the largest increase, as 12.6% tested positive in 2013 and 2014, up from 8.6% in 2007.

Researchers caution that the connection between drugs and deadly crashes is not as significant as the effect of drunken driving, which is responsible for more than 30% of road fatalities. Experts also note that available data is not comprehensive — and some drugs, including certain over-thecounter medications, have no effect on the driver. Many drivers who get high and then get behind the wheel are subject to arrest for driving under the influence just as those who drink and drive.

One victim, according to prosecutors, was David Aggio of California. He was killed March 8, 2014, when Rodolfo Alberto Contreras, who was high on marijuana, ran a red light at nearly 80 mph, crossed the center divider and demolished Aggio’s Ford Explorer, prosecutors said.

Contreras in June became the first drugged driver in California to be convicted of second-degree murder. According to California prosecutors, his response at the

paper ballots this year.”

Clinton supporters overwhelmingly reject the idea that the vote count can’t be trusted.

“It’s 2016, and to be able to rig an election would be impossible at this point,” scoffs Jennifer Neugebauer, 36, an orthodontic technician from Philadelphia and a Clinton enthusiast since her first presidential bid eight years ago.

“I don’t think it’s so much rigged against him,” says Zachery Prickett, 21, of Delavan, Wis., who is supporting Jill Stein of the Green Party. “I think he destroyed his own campaign.”

The paradox for Clinton is that she is amassing a solid lead even as unprecedented challenges that could make governing more difficult come into sharp relief.

She leads Trump among likely voters by 47%-38% in a four-way race. (Without rounding, she leads by 9.80 points, 47.40%37.60%.) Support for minor-party candidates has been cut in half since late August, a trend that is common as voting nears. Libertarian Gary Johnson has dropped to 4% and Stein to 2%.

In a two-way race, Clinton leads Trump, 49%-39%.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken Thursday through Monday by landline and cellphone, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

If her lead holds up until the results are tallied Nov. 8 — no sure thing — Clinton would carry the White House by the widest margin in the popular vote of any candidate since Ronald Reagan’s 49-state landslide in 1984.

That said, the mood of the electorate is nothing like the optimism of three decades ago, when Reagan’s gauzy re-election theme was “Morning in America.”

“Since the polls are starting to shift quite a bit towards Hillary Clinton, I’ve been buying a lot more ammunition,” says Rick Darling, 69, an engineer from Harrison Township, in Michigan’s Detroit suburbs. In a follow-up phone interview after being surveyed, the Trump supporter said he fears progressives will want to “declare martial law and take our guns away” after the election.

“You can say I’m wearing my tin-foil hat,” Darling says. “I don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s so unpredictable. ... If it all falls apart, I’m going to be ready if I have to be. I’m going to be a good Boy Scout.”

A RIGGED ELECTION?

More than two-thirds of Trump voters say they worry the election returns could be manipulated. In contrast, eight in 10 of Clinton voters say the returns can be trusted to be fair and accurate.

Trump supporters overwhelmingly identify the key threat as the news media, followed by the national political establishment;

3% say the chief threat is from foreign interests such as Russian hackers, which U.S. intelligence agencies accuse of leaking thousands of Democratic emails.

Few in either camp believe the news media is objective in this election. By nearly 10-to-1, all of those surveyed say the news media, including major newspapers and TV stations, would like to see Clinton elected. That includes 82% of Trump supporters and 74% of Clinton supporters.

scene of the crime, when confronted about the incident, was: “I want my weed.”

He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

Auto-safety experts are particularly concerned about a spike in drugged driving in states that have legalized recreational marijuana, such as Colorado, where voters approved it in 2014. The nation’s opioid epidemic could also be a contributing factor.

In 2015, 12.4% of fatal crashes in Colorado involved a driver who tested positive for cannabis alone, up from 8.1% in 2013, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports. The number of drivers involved in fatal crashes who tested positive for any drug hit a record 18.6% in Colorado in 2015, up from a low of 12.3% in 2012.

Six in 10 Trump supporters say the news media is coordinating stories with individual campaigns, rather than acting on its own accord. Three in 10 of Clinton supporters feel that way.

“When I was a kid, we watched the news; we would see what happened, and now it’s what they want you to see,” says David Zigerman, 55, a Trump supporter from North Palm Beach, Fla. “There’s no gray area in wondering whether the media is biased.”

Marijuana proponents dispute the suggestion that pot use is killing more people on the road.

Jolene Forman, staff attorney at the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports marijuana legalization, cautioned against drawing conclusions on the effect of marijuana legalization on drivers.

“We’re interested in pursuing policies that advance what is empirically shown, rather than knee-jerk, fear-based policies,” Forman said. “It’s too soon to say that it’s had a positive or negative effect but preliminary data look very promising. It looks like marijuana legalization has not led to road safety concerns.”

Complicating matters is that research on the effects of drugged driving is scarce, leaving roadsafety experts with little under-

Both candidates are dented by controversies: uTrump has been hurt by allegations from about a dozen women of sexual harassment and assault, which he denies. A 51% majority of those surveyed say they believe the women; just a third say they are lying.

More than four in 10 say the accusations make them less likely to support the tycoon and realityTV star. “I don’t think it’s made up; I don’t think it’s politically driven,” says Ben Rodemeyer, 38, an undecided voter from Denver who was among those surveyed.

“I think that shows the character of the man.” uClinton has been hurt by the WikiLeaks disclosure of thousands of emails from top advisers.

More than a third of those polled say excerpts of high-priced speeches she delivered to Wall Street bankers, including suggestions she took different positions in public and private, make them less likely to support her. A 56% majority say emails that detail the intertwined relationships among the Clinton Foundation, its big donors and the State Department raise questions about conflicts of interest for Clinton if she were elected to the White House. Even three in 10 of her own supporters see conflicts of interest ahead.

“It does bother me,” says James Rogers, 50, a Clinton supporter from Raleigh, who works in real estate. Still, he adds, “That particular transgression is not as bad as the lack of decorum and potential flying off the handle that Donald Trump represents.

“There seems to be a lack of tolerance for opposing opinions. ... It seems that the country is so much more divisive than it has been in elections past.”

Nearly six in 10 agree divisions are deeper than in the past.

Margaret Womack, 76, of Newport News, Va., is an avid supporter of Trump who labels Clinton a liar. “She will say anything or do anything to get the vote,” says Womack, a retired administrative assistant at the College of William and Mary’s Department of Theology.

What if Clinton wins?

“We’ll have to stand behind her; we won’t have a choice,” she says unhappily. “I’ll just pray for her to be honest, which God will have his hands full.” standing of the full ramifications.

For starters, many drivers involved in fatal crashes aren’t tested for drugs. What’s more, just because drivers have drugs in their system doesn’t mean they are impaired. Marijuana is noticeable in the bloodstream for weeks, but its strongest effects dissipate after a few hours.

In addition, there’s no generally accepted field sobriety test for officers to conduct, and there’s no standard level of impairment for marijuana. In contrast, all states punish drivers for blood-alcohol concentration at or above 0.08%, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

But a study released in June by the University of Iowa’s National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS) concluded that drivers with blood concentration of 13.1 ug/L (grams per 1,000 liters) of the main active ingredient in marijuana, THC, “showed increased weaving that was similar to those” with 0.08 blood-alcohol level.

“As we see more people drive on the road with different controlled substances, whether they be illicit or prescription drugs, the risk is increasing,” said Tim Brown, associate research scientist at NADS and co-author of the study, in an interview.

Anyone who’s driving dangerously because they’re high can be flagged by officers who are looking for drunken drivers, said J.T. Griffin, chief government affairs officer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving. MADD last year updated its mission statement to target drugged driving.

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

The Dow has taken investors on a wild ride to nowhere the past two years.

Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrial average, the iconic U.S. stock index represented by 30 of the USA’s best-known companies, closed up 30 points at 18,199.33.

And while that stretched the Dow’s gain for the year to 4.4%, its closing price is a reminder that the market has barely budged in almost two years.

The last time the Dow passed a milestone, it was Dow 18,000.

And that happened way back on Dec. 23, 2014 — nearly two years ago. Proof of the Dow’s first-ever eclipse of 18,000 come courtesy of old newspaper articles and catchy photos of traders at the

Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

New York Stock Exchange that historic day donning hats emblazoned with “DOW 18,000.”

But the bright future of big, round numbers like Dow 19,000 or Dow 20K has yet to materialize. Instead, the Dow, based on Wednesday’s close, is just 175.16 points higher than it was 22 months ago. That equates to a price gain of just 0.97% — which means investors have seen the Dow grow at an annual pace of 0.5% the past two years. (The Dow’ all-time high is 18,636.05.)

To dub it a go-nowhere market, a sideways-trading market, a dud market or a dull market would be accurate. The bull is 7 years, 7 months old. Like an aging athlete, this bull might not have the money-making moves it had in its prime. Whether it has one more big run in it or is on the verge of retirement is the $64,000 question.

e’s The Wolf of Wall Street followup, Silence, at last has an awardsfriendly release date of Dec. 23 (in limited theaters, the film opens nationwide in January) and expectations are astronomically high for the historical drama. In it, Asano plays an interpreter to Jesuit missionaries (Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) in 17th-century Japan — a role that was filled by Ken Watanabe (Inception) before he exited the project last year.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: Asano has two highly anticipated films on deck next year: Thor: Ragnarok, in which he’ll reprise his role as Asgardian warrior Hogun; and another Japan-set drama, The Outsider, with Jared Leto as an American POW.

PABLO LARRAÍN

BREAKOUT FILM: The Chilean

filmmaker earned raves at the Venice and Toronto film festivals for his haunting English-language debut, Jackie (in theaters Dec. 2), which tracks the week after John F. Kennedy’s assassination from the perspective of the widowed first lady (Natalie Portman). Historical dramas are like catnip to the academy, and with a bestactress nod near-guaranteed for Portman, don’t be surprised if voters share the wealth with Larraín.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: Larraín may also be in awards contention with another unconventional take on a real-life figure: Neruda, about politician/poet Pablo Neruda, Chile’s submission for best foreign-language film.

BREAKOUT ROLE: The young star of HBO’s The Leftovers is making his feature-film debut with August Wilson’s Fences (out Dec. 25), and he couldn’t be in better company. In the 1950s-set drama, Adepo plays the strongwilled son of Denzel Washington’s washed-up ballplayer and his wearied wife (Viola Davis, whose Oscar chances spiked with this week’s news she’ll campaign for best supporting actress).

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW:

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: Like Mutesi, Nalwanga grew up selling corn on the streets of Kampala and was discovered by a casting director at a community dance class.

BREAKOUT ROLE: In Moonlight

(in select theaters now), director Barry Jenkins’ three-act study of a gay black youth, Rhodes stars as a grownup drug dealer who’s taken on the powerful personality of a childhood mentor but struggles with the emotional baggage of his past.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: Rhodes, 26, was a world-class sprinter while at the University of Texas and won gold as part of Team USA’s 4x100-meter relay at the 2009 Pan Am Junior Games.

BREAKOUT FILM: Negga plays Mildred Loving, a black Virginia woman married to a white man (Joel Edgerton) in 1958 whose landmark Supreme Court case invalidated laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Her nuanced performance is stunning, and set Negga, 34, on a path to awards season when the film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Loving opens in select cities Nov. 4.

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW: The Ethiopian-Irish actress, who often displays a whimsical sense of style on the red carpet, also stars in AMC’s darkly violent comic book-based series Preacher.

smile and be silent?

Is there something I should say in return?

This has been going on for 29 years. — Sad About the Holidays Dear Sad: If one of your in-laws had a genuine worry about your weight and health, there would be a time and a place to talk to you about it, and it definitely wouldn’t be at the family holiday buffet. It sounds as if they’re speaking more from a place of insecu-

Generations clash on new CBS sitcom Joel McHale returns to prime time. He stars in ‘‘The Great Indoors’’ (7:30 p.m., CBS, TV-PG) as Jack, a famous adventurertype and icon for an outdoor life magazine. It’s a stretch to think of the goofball lightweight from ‘‘Community’’ playing Sebastian Junger, but that’s what sitcoms are for.

After shutting down the print magazine, Jack’s boss, mentor and publisher, Roland (Stephen Fry), wants him to put some meat on the digital bones of the online edition, which has devolved into a Buzzfeed-like collection of lists and captions.

While it’s easy to think of this series as a reheated version of Tim Allen’s ‘‘Last Man Standing,’’ that ABC sitcom puts more emphasis on family dynamics. ‘‘Indoors’’ sticks to office life and the conflicts between old print fossils and digital ‘‘kids.’’

As Roland, Fry is reduced to spouting Kiplingesque bromides and drinking heavily.

The young staff members are reduced to every millennial stereotype imaginable. Spoiler alert: At the end of an un-strenuous workday, they receive trophies just for showing up.

O ‘‘Pure Genius’’ (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14) stars Augustus Prew as James Bell, a Silicon Valley gazillionaire who sets up a private clinic armed with every gadget and gizmo known to man dedicated to nothing short of changing the face of medicine. As such, it’s much like the new CBS drama ‘‘Bull’’ and its high-tech assault on the law.

Bell hires only the best and takes only the special cases that may lead to medical breakthroughs. He has a lot of time to micromanage his team of physicians, which includes Dr. Walter Wallace (Dermot Mulroney), a glum, super-elite surgeon.

Bell’s eagerness to promise ‘‘miracles’’ gets under the nerves of his staff, particularly the gorgeous and brilliant Dr. Talaikha Channarayapatra, portrayed by Reshma Shetty. Viewers may remember her from ‘‘Royal Pains.’’

Like that series, ‘‘Pure Genius’’ features a private and completely selective practice.

As such, it has none of the frantic, emergency-room-under-siege tension of series like ‘‘Code Black.’’ And that’s too bad. For a medical drama complete with life-and-death situations, ‘‘Pure Genius’’ is decidedly decaffeinated. It would be unkind to call it boring — but not inaccurate.

Tonight’s other highlights O Catch seven consecutive episodes of the period thriller ‘‘Quarry’’ (4 p.m., Cinemax, TV-MA).

O Penny realizes that she has fans on ‘‘The Big Bang Theory’’ (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

rity than concern.

That said, I doubt they have any idea that their comments are rude. Because thinness is idealized in our society, many people mistakenly think it’s OK to pick on a person for being skinny, even if they would never pick on someone for being heavy.

Talk to your husband about how these comments bother you. Perhaps he can persuade them to cut it out. And if they continue with their remarks anyway, try not to let it eat at you. What matters is that you’re healthy, and that’s something only you and your doctor can determine.

postpartum depression.

It was heartbreaking.

Your identification of it and your recommendations were spot on, but it concerns me that you did not include medication as an option, as well. Perhaps you quite correctly assumed the therapist would prescribe an appropriate medication, but you missed an opportunity to inform the public that additional help in the form of medication is out there for many.

In my daughter’s case, the proper medication was what finally enabled her to break free and begin the path to regaining her old self and enjoying her son. It took her eight months to realize medication was what she needed.

Tense standoff at N.D pipeline protest Cannon Ball, N.D. (ap) — The prospect of a police raid on an encampment protesting the Dakota Access pipeline faded as night fell Wednesday, with law enforcement making no immediate move after protesters rejected their request to withdraw from private land.

Unmarked aircraft that had been monitoring protesters were withdrawn late in the day, and some activists who had been on hand for a possible confrontation headed back to a larger protest camp on federal land.

Law enforcement officials said they were ready to remove about 200 protesters who this weekend set up teepees and tents on land owned by the pipeline company.

Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney told reporters that authorities don’t want a confrontation but that the protesters “are not willing to bend.”

“We have the resources.

We could go down there at any time,” he said. “We’re trying not to.”

Protesters vowed to stay put, at one point chanting “Stand in peace against the beast.”

Activists fear the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline could harm cultural sites and drinking water for the Standing Rock Sioux tribe.

Energy Transfer Partners, which is building the $3.8 billion pipeline, said Tuesday that the protesters were trespassing and that “lawless behavior will not be tolerated.”

LOVE AT FIRST DUNK ‘‘

Once I see the rim, I don’t care who’s over there, I’m going to try to dunk. I’m going to try to go up on you and shatter the rim. That’s my game.”

e guessed he was about 13 at the time, roughly 6-foot-8 inches tall, towering above the rest of his friends who had gone with him to an outdoor hoop in Lagos, Nigeria.

After so, so many tries, Udoka Azubuike finally dunked a basketball on a 10-foot hoop.

“I tried 15 times and kept missing,” Azubuike said.

“One day, I finally went up and I made it. That was pretty much the happiest day ever for me, that very day, because I was like, ‘Wow, I can dunk!’ I was excited. The first time for me was really exciting.”

It was love at first flush.

It hasn’t grown old. He doesn’t think it ever will.

Don’t look for Azubuike to say what Markieff Morris once said when asked why he was dunking more often as a sophomore than as a freshman. He said that he had refrained from dunking to conserve energy.

Hickman sisters highlight ‘competitive legacy’ for FSHS

FREE STATE HIGH’S RACHEL HICKMAN (28) and Naomi Hickman (29) team up for a block during their match against Shawnee Mission East on Sept. 8 at FSHS.

Beaty wants Cozart to be game manager

Before the Free State High volleyball team embarked on its 2016 campaign, the Firebirds brainstormed a few words on how they wanted define their season.

The words that the Firebirds decided on were “competitive” and “legacy,” and they are printed on the back of their team T-shirts.

The Firebirds will be able to don those shirts while warming up for the Class 6A state tournament Friday at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka, the first state appearance in 12 years.

“This season has been super special. We love each other,” FSHS senior Naomi Hickman said. “Our teammates, we all get along really well and just work togeth-

er well and we have really great players this year, too.

It’s been awesome.”

The two words that have driven the Firebirds throughout the season mean a little bit more to Hickman, who will wrap up her prep career before going on to play at Creighton. While one of Hickman’s goals this season was to make it to the state tournament, she also wanted to make sure that the Firebirds would be competitive for years to come.

“Naomi and I had talked a lot last year about if you’re going to be the best player on the floor, people are just naturally going to look to you. They will want your OK,” FSHS coach Amy Hoffsommer said. “They will want your stamp of approval to make sure they feel a part of what’s going

Kill-getting is something that Hickman has done her fair share of for the Firebirds over the past four seasons.

> SISTERS, 3C

No young Pop Warner quarterback thinks to himself, “One day, I want to be a game manager.”

In the highly competitive Big 12 though, that’s exactly what University of Kansas coach David Beaty needs his QB to be.

“You know, the quarterback that runs your offense — from a coaching standpoint for me — has always been about who manages that game,” Beaty said.

“It doesn’t have to be about a guy that can win it all the Cozart time, but he certainly can’t lose it for you, and that’s a lot more common than you think.”

KU football fans, no doubt, know exactly what Beaty means. The Jayhawks’ offense this season often has kept them out of games with untimely interceptions. During the team’s current six-game losing streak, Kansas quarterbacks have combined to throw 14 interceptions on 230 attempts — contributing mightily to the team’s FBS-worst season turnover total (25).

Fourth-year junior QB Montell Cozart added this past week two to his 2016 sum of six, in a home loss to Oklahoma State. But Beaty thought both Cowboys interceptions weren’t his starting quarterback’s fault.

Cozart, who threw for 250 yards and a touchdown in the OSU loss, understands his coach’s point, too, and doesn’t take it personally when Beaty asks the QB to manage the game. Cozart realizes, after all, the offensive coordinator won’t limit him to handing the ball off.

“Just the overall term of managing the game can go both ways of being negative and positive,” Cozart said, “but I don’t take it as a negative thing, coming from coach.”

When Beaty coached wide receivers at Texas A & M, he gained a better appreciation for the value of a so-called manger handling a team’s snaps.

“Kevin Sumlin, he had a bunch of really cool little sayings that I hold on to, and one of them is: ‘There’s a lot more games that are lost than won every Saturday.’ And he’s exactly right,” Beaty said, referring to giveaways derailing a team’s chances of competing. “I mean, that happens, and we’ve been a part of it (at KU). We were a part of it when I was there a couple times.”

In his time at Kansas, Cozart has struggled with ball security — some games far more often than others.

His hope, like Beaty’s, is his worst days are behind him.

The QB feels better healthwise than in September, when a shoulder injury impacted his throwing. Cozart said when Beaty talks to him about managing a game, often it involves making routine plays and taking advantage of whatever hole the

Big 12 still has playoff hopes with Baylor, WVU undefeated

By Stephen Hawkins

AP Sports Writer

With Baylor and West Virginia both undefeated halfway through the season, there could still be playoff hopes for the Big 12 Conference.

The eighth-ranked Bears and 10th-ranked Mountaineers have to keep winning.

While many wrote off the Big 12’s chances for a return to the playoffs after Oklahoma’s two nonconference losses in September, Baylor and West Virginia are among seven teams from Power Five leagues still without a loss before the first College Football Playoff rankings of this season are released next week.

When West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was asked about talking to his players about their 6-0 start, he initially answered, “I can assure you I am not going to respond to a College Football Playoff question.”

Because there is a long way to go, with six more Saturdays of games before the four playoff teams will be determined with the final CFP rankings on Dec. 4.

Those final rankings will come a day after Baylor and West Virginia play in a regular-season finale that could become a de facto Big 12 championship game.

It could also determine if one of them gets in the playoff, though there is no guaranteed spot for the winner.

The Big 12 is reinstating its actual title game next season, and that will at least provide league teams a “13th data point” for the playoff selection committee to consider like the other Power Five conferences already have.

When Ohio State won the Big Ten championship game 59-0 two years ago, the Buckeyes ended up the fourth playoff team ahead of Big 12 co-champions Baylor and TCU, and went on to win the national championship.

Sooner Factor Oklahoma’s quest for its 10th Big 12 title could impact the league’s CFP chances, but it still remains unlikely that the twoloss Sooners can get back into playoff contention.

The 16th-ranked Sooners (5-2, 4-0 Big 12), coming off a 66-59 win and allowing a school-record 854 total yards/a at Texas Tech, play consecutive games in November against Baylor and West Virginia, and losses by either one of those teams will hurt their chances.

Oklahoma last year was 14th in the initial CFP rankings, and 13th at that point in the AP poll. While it is possible that the Sooners could be near those same positions next week, assuming they beat Kansas at home, there hasn’t yet been a two-loss playoff team.

It also hurts the Sooners that Houston and Ohio State, the non-conference teams they lost to, have since lost.

The Cougars are even unranked after losing two of three.

The sixth-ranked Buckeyes are coming off a loss to Penn State, though they still have a chance to bolster their playoff case with games left against No. 2 Michigan and No. 7 Nebraska.

Anthem singer says ‘We Matter’ shirt got her the boot Philadelphia — Philadelphia 76ers national anthem singer Sevyn Streeter says she was told by the team she could not perform because of her “We Matter” jersey.

She was scheduled to sing before the Sixers’ season opener Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Streeter wrote on Twitter, “Was suppose to sing the anthem at @sixers & @okcthunder game but mins b4 @sixers said I couldn’t because I was wearing a “We Matter” jersey.

The Sixers declined to say why Streeter’s performance was canceled.

“The Philadelphia 76ers organization encourages meaningful actions to drive social change.

We use our games to bring people together, to build trust and to strengthen our communities.

As we move from symbolic gestures to action, we will continue to leverage our platform to positively impact our community,” the Sixers said in a statement.

The Sixers had a member of their dance team sing the anthem.

This isn’t the first time the Sixers were dragged into a national anthem controversy.

A woman performing the national anthem before an NBA preseason game in Miami did so while kneeling at midcourt.

Denasia Lawrence opened her jacket just before she started to sing, revealing a “Black Lives Matter” shirt, then dropped to her left knee and performed the song. She said it was her way of protesting racial oppression.

The Indians are giving Ken Kostal, of Marblehead, tickets to Game 6, and a team spokesman said United is giving Kostal 62,200 airline miles for future use. Lofton had 622 career stolen bases.

Kostal said he was waiting to board a delayed flight from Los Angeles to Cleveland early Tuesday when he recognized Lofton. When he overheard Lofton saying he wasn’t sure he’d get a seat on the plan, Kostal offered his.

Lewd scouting doc condemned

Boston — Harvard University has condemned a sexually explicit document that members of the 2012 men’s soccer team called their scouting report of the women’s soccer team.

In the nine-page document, uncovered this week by The Harvard Crimson student newspaper, a member of the men’s team rated the physical attractiveness of new recruits on the women’s team and included their photos and lewd comments about many of them. It was circulated online among teammates.

The unidentified author assigned each female recruit a nickname and a sexual position, writing one “looks like the kind of girl who both likes to dominate, and likes to be dominated.”

Other teammates weighed in on the remarks, some voicing approval. They circulated the missive on a website that could be accessed by the public until recently.

Self: Jackson’s maturity major asset for KU SCOREBOARD

F

or all of the comparisons between Kansas freshman Josh Jackson and former one-and-done KU star Andrew Wiggins — those you’ve heard and those still yet to come — the one that struck me as the most impressive and most telling about the kind of player Jackson is came from Kansas coach Bill Self at Tuesday’s Big 12 Media Day in Kansas City.

Talking about Jackson’s maturity, which Self says Jackson owes his mother, Apples Jones, the 14th-year Kansas coach was asked how Jackson has responded — and how he thinks he will respond against real opponents — when players have gone right at him in an attempt to test and see just how talented the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit really is.

It’s something that inevitably happens with all of the top freshmen each year. And it comes as much from teammates in the early going as it does opponents in the heart of the season.

Self loves it and believes Jackson will, too.

“I think he’s coming in here about as mature and about as worldly as any kid that we’ve ever had,” Self said. “He’s well beyond his years for a college freshman. And even though he’s had so many things written about him, he doesn’t act spoiled. He acts like a guy that wants to prove as opposed to a guy that thinks he’s already arrived.”

Although practice is barely two weeks old and Self’s Jayhawks have begun to spend as much

time preparing for opponents as they have testing each other, the KU coach has seen enough to drum up a prediction for what Jackson will do when Indiana’s James Blackmon Jr. or Duke’s Grayson Allen (both juniors) go at him on the offensive end and find some success in a couple of weeks.

“He’s the type of kid, I think,” Self began, “that could have somebody score two straight baskets on him and his way of getting back at him is to make sure our team has a good possession on the other end, as opposed to going back and shooting the ball and trying to get it back himself. I don’t think a lot of kids get that. I think he does.”

That, at least in Self’s eyes, is why Jackson is among the most competitive players he’s ever coached. Being competitive is about more than being willing to take the shots, soak up the spotlight and become the face of the team. It also is about being the smartest player you can be and digging in on defense and doing as many little things as possible to help your team win a game.

Jackson is ready, willing and able to do all of the above and, perhaps most impressively, wants

FRESHMAN JOSH JACKSON autographs a basketball during Bill Self camp registration on June 12 at Allen Fieldhouse. to do it against the best players college basketball has to offer. A few of those players are on his own team. And that’s one of the big reasons Jackson picked Kansas in the first place. Rather than having to wait for the big challenges to pop up on his schedule, Jackson gets to encounter them each and every day.

And, so far, he has more than held his own, according to Self.

“I don’t know that you respond every single time that somebody goes at you,” Self said. “But if he doesn’t respond, then it’s in the minority. He is a competitive dude that likes when somebody else is good because now he can test himself against the best. He enjoys that.”

“I think, in his mind, whether or not he plays better from a points (and) production standpoint, I think he’ll do more to fight for his team if he feels like he’s being

challenged each and every day.”

As for all of the attention Jackson already has received and is sure to get from opponents on the floor during the upcoming season, Self said Jackson’s maturity and demeanor make him well equipped to handle that, as well.

“Apples did an unbelievable job,” Self said.

“Granted, there’s still some things that are gonna happen with him that he hasn’t seen yet and he’s gonna feel some pressures that he’s never experienced yet, but his mother has done an unbelievable job preparing him for this moment. It’s something they’ve talked about a lot.”

“Wiggs was mature, too,” he continued. “But Wiggs was different in that he didn’t need the attention, but he also didn’t want the attention.

Josh, to me, doesn’t need it, but he doesn’t mind it.”

ning in transition).”

Starting center Landen Lucas is impressed with how well Azubuike listens to suggestions.

“Some guys think they know it all. He’s definitely not one of them,” Lucas said. “His ceiling is unbelievably high. For his age and for his athletic ability and size, if he really figures out how to play the game ... He really doesn’t know a ton right now and he’s already good. If he figures that out, he’ll be spectacular.”

Azubuike identified his birth date as Sept.

17, 1999. That means he’ll have two years at Kansas to develop his game because of age restrictions on draft eligibility. To those who have questioned whether he is older than he says, Azubuike

agement of the game, and if you do that and you try to just focus on what you need to do and you’re prepared when you go into the game, it actually slows it down for you, and your success level rises really quickly,” Beaty said.

The Jayhawks (1-6 overall, 0-4 Big 12) play Saturday at No. 16 Oklahoma (5-2, 4-0).

no longer feels the need to defend himself.

“At first, during high school, yes, people keep saying that, I get (mad) and stuff,” he said. “As time goes on, I know people are going to say what they’re going to say, so I just kind of overlook it and don’t say anything about it.

I don’t have nothing to prove to no one.”

KU’s biggest player has a lot going for him.

He’s massive, bright and serious about working on his game.

“My best is yet to come,” Azubuike said.

“I’m going to keep improving, keep getting better.”

He has plenty to learn, but knowing that a dunk is always a smart shot isn’t a lesson he needs to be taught. That’s a nice place for any young center to start.

‘‘

You get an appreciation for just simple management of the game, and if you do that and you try to just focus on what you need to do ... your success level rises really quickly.”

middle blocker broke Kelsey Harrison’s school record of 633 kills against Bishop Miege in the Firebirds’ final home triangular Oct. 13.

“It’s super cool,” said Hickman, who has 711 career kills. “I actually didn’t know about it until I read that in the paper, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is cool!’”

It’s hard to say if Hickman’s record will last 10 years like Harrison’s did, and that’s OK with the Free State senior.

Naomi’s younger sister Rachel, a sophomore, has racked up 357 career kills of her own.

“I love playing with Rachel,” Naomi said of Rachel, who committed to Kansas in September.

“I think we understand each other well on the court, and we get what each other are thinking.

We bring out the best in each other.”

In the early going of the season, Hoffsommer leaned toward having the Hickman sisters separated from each other in the Firebirds’ front-row rotation, but Rachel insisted that she play side-by-side with Naomi.

Hoffsommer’s fears have subsided as the Hickman sisters have played unselfishly while leading the Firebirds to a record of 33-6 and the No. 4 seed in the state tournament.

Hoffsommer said. “Anybody is going to have trouble hitting against that block. It’s pretty to watch those two play together.”

Rachel and Naomi have cherished their time on the court for the Firebirds, and the younger sister has learned a thing or two from the elder.

The Hickman sisters never played on the same team prior to last season, but they had gone up against each other in club volleyball.

“I know they love each other dearly. I know that Rachel looks up to her sister in a big, huge way, and gets a lot of feedback from her on the court,” Hoffsommer said. “You can see that when they’re playing. She turns and asks her sister a lot of questions.

“It’s kind of nice. I know Rachel will handle it all just fine when her sister is gone,” Hoffsommer said. “It just makes it extra special. That’s family out on the court with you.”

Although Naomi’s high school career is coming to an end this weekend, Hoffsommer noted that the senior’s competitiveness has left a legacy that Rachel and the Free State underclassmen can continue.

“The idea of, ‘I am now establishing what this program is and what it means to me, and then you can take that and build on it,’” Hoffsommer said. “From sister to sister, that’s a perfect legacy.”

WORLD SERIES ROUNDUP

Cubs awaken, top Indians to even Series at 1 The Associated Press

Cubs 5, Indians 1 Cleveland (ap) — Jake Arrieta made a teasing try at history, Kyle Schwarber drove in two runs and the Chicago Cubs brushed off a shutout to even the World Series with their first Fall Classic win in 71 years, 5-1 over the Cleveland Indians in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

Arrieta carried a nohitter into the sixth inning, briefly invoking Don Larsen’s name, before the Indians touched him for two hits and a run. However, the righthander helped give Chicago just what it needed — a split at Progressive Field — before the Cub-

bies return to their Wrigley Field den for the next three games starting Friday night.

The Cubs hadn’t won in the Series since beating Detroit 8-7 in 1945 to force Game 7.

The free-swinging Schwarber, who made it back for Chicago’s longawaited Series return after missing most of the season with an injured left knee, hit an RBI single in the third off Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer and had another in the Cubs’ three-run fifth — highlighted by Ben Zobrist’s run-scoring triple.

Even the presence of star LeBron James and the NBA champion Cavaliers, sporting their new rings, couldn’t stop the

Indians from losing for the first time in six home games this postseason.

And Cleveland manager Terry Francona’s magical touch in October finally fizzled as he dropped to 9-1 in Series games.

With rain in the forecast, Major League Baseball moved the first pitch up an hour in hopes of avoiding delays or a postponement.

It turned out to be a good call as the game went on without a hitch and ended after more than four hours as light rain was beginning to fall.

Arrieta and the Cubs provided the only storm.

The bearded 30-yearold coasted through five innings without allowing

a hit, the first pitcher to get that deep in a Series game with a no-hitter since David Cone of the New York Yankees in 1998.

For a brief period, Arrieta looked as if he might challenge Larsen’s gem — a perfect game — in 1956 before Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, a die-hard Cubs fan as a kid, doubled with one out in the sixth .

Before that, Cleveland hitters had a couple good swings, and drew three walks, but couldn’t mount a real threat. Arrieta has two career nohitters, in fact, including the only one in the majors this year.

Cubs lefty Mike Montgomery replaced Arrieta

and worked two scoreless innings before Aroldis Chapman came in and unleashed his 103 mph heat while getting the last four outs.

The teams will have an off day before the series resumes with Game 3 at Wrigley, which will host its first Series game since Oct. 6, 1945, when tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave with his pet goat, Murphy, and a curse was born.

Josh Tomlin will start for the Indians, who will lose the designated hitter in the NL ballpark, against Kyle Hendricks.

Schwarber might also wind up on the bench after two days as the DH. With a gametime tem-

perature of 43, the weather was more fitting for the Browns and Bears to bang heads than the boys of summer.

Nuggets 107, Pelicans 102 New Orleans — Jusuf Nurkic scored 23 points, Will Barton added 22, and the Denver Nuggets survived a dominant performance by Anthony Davis to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans in both teams’ regular season opener.

Davis had 50 points, 16 rebounds, seven steals, five assists and four blocks. His production helped New Orleans trim a deficit as large as 14 late in the second quarter down to two points in the waning minutes. He simply didn’t have enough help.

The rest of the Pelicans combined to shoot 21 of 58. Tim Frazier scored 15 for the Pelicans. E’Twaun Moore added 10 points, but missed a 3-point attempt that could have tied it with 24 seconds left.

Danilo Gallinari scored 15 for Denver and Wilson Chandler added 12 points.

Denver built its largest lead when Barton hit a 3 and a layup to spark a 9-2 run that made 60-46 in the final minute of the second quarter.
