ELECTION 2016

‘If I only had a brain, a lightsaber and some candy’

Which Kansas lawmakers are at risk?

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The 2016 elections are a year away, set for Nov. 8, 2016, but already, an unusually large number of candidates have filed to run for state legislative seats, and more have formed committees to start raising money.

Kansas Democrats have no illusions that they can win control of either ANALYSIS the House or Senate next year, but they are focusing in on a few districts that they think are ripe for an upset.

Likewise, Republicans know that most Democrats in the Legislature are in safe Democratic districts, mostly in the urban centers of Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita. But they are not giving up on the chance that they could expand their super-majorities in both chambers.

Readers: Kobach shouldn’t get to charge voters

A

new Journal-World survey shows a majority of 1,000 LJWorld.com users do not agree with the state’s decision allowing its top elections official the authority to prosecute alleged voter fraud — a power that’s recently been wielded.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach gained the power to prosecute election crimes in June, when Gov. Sam Brownback signed legislation Kobach had crafted and pushed.

The Harvey D. Grace Memorial chapel is Wichita State University’s center of religious life.

Controversy erupts over WSU chapel renovations Wichita (ap) — A committee overseeing the Wichita State University chapel might consider more changes after previous renovations drew criticism that the alterations were made to accommodate Muslims over Christians, a university official said.

About 60 people attended a public meeting Friday to discuss the Harvey D. Grace Memorial chapel, where pews were replaced with moveable chairs and a small altar was removed in May. Supporters said Christians, not Muslims, had sought the changes to make it a more flexible worship space.

Both sides agreed that the family who donated funding for the chapel in 1964 specified that it remain open to all creeds and races but they disagreed on what that meant, The Wichita Eagle reported.

The renovations were first suggested

by Christians in 2012. As the proposal moved through the university’s approval process, Muslim supported it because they have difficulty finding places to kneel and pray on campus.

There are about 1,000 Muslims among Wichita State’s 14,450 students.

Stanley W. Stanhope Stanley W. Stanhope, 88, Tonganoxie, KS, passed away Thursday October 22, 2015 at the Tonganoxie Nursing Center. A celebration of life gathering will be Sunday, November 8, 2015 from 1-4 pm at the Tonganoxie V.F.W. #9271 Hall. Stanley was born March 26, 1927 in Reece, KS, the son of Richard and Corelia Grace (Vincent) Stanhope. He served in the US Navy as Seaman 1st Class, during WWII on the Destroyer USS Evans #552 and received a Presidential Unit Citation for their service in Okinawa and Iwo Jima. He was a lifetime member of the Tonganoxie V.F.W #9271 and the D.A.V. He worked for Arkansas Best Freightways, KC, MO, for 33 years, retiring in 1989.

He was a member and past vice president of the Teamsters Local #41 KC,

MO. He was preceded in death by his brother, Vincent Stanhope, and his son Anthony D. (Tony) Carr. He was united in marriage February 14, 1975 at Stoney Point Christian Church, Kansas City, KS, to Mary Pat (Thurman).

She survives of the home.

Other survivors include; two sons, Richard (Carol) Stanhope, Excelsior Springs, MO, Stanley W. (Sharon) Stanhope II, Hot Springs, MT; daughter in law, Mary R. Carr, Piper, KS; seven grandchildren; 9 great-grandchildren; and 2 great-great grandchildren.

Although most respondents to our survey didn’t like that decision — or Kobach’s job performance — they were almost evenly split on the validity of a state law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Here’s a look at the results: l In the first question about the state’s voter identification law (specifically the provision requiring people to show proof of U.S. citizenship when registering), the results were too close to call. About 42.5 percent said that yes, they agreed with the law, and 45 percent answered “no.” The remainder were unsure.

Margins of error ranged from 1.9 percent to 3 percent. l When asked about Kobach’s power to prosecute, results were more definitive: 56.6 percent said they didn’t agree with the decision to grant that authority. Those who said they did agree with the decision accounted for 25.7 percent of votes, and 17.6 percent were unsure. Margins of error on these results ranged from 2.2 percent to 3 percent. l Lastly, we asked LJWorld.com readers how they viewed Kobach’s job performance. Half of the respondents — 50.7 percent — selected “very unfavorable.” “Somewhat unfavorable” received

on Facebook by Wichita State alumna Ann Cusick, university donors, alumni and others began posting comments and contacting university administrators.

Cusick did not attend Friday’s meeting.

Lisa Ritchie, the only opponent on the four-member town hall panel, said she believes the chapel should be a Christian house of worship. She acknowledged that it was meant to be open to all races and faiths but said it should be “welcoming to all to point them to Jesus.”

Taben Azad, a Wichita State student senator and vice president of the Muslim students association, said he was dismayed that the renovations had prompted online expressions of “hate speech” and “Islamophobia.” He said the school needs “to stand against racism of all types.”

Ritchie also said Muslims could pray at a mosque near campus but Azad said Muslim students would have a difficult time leaving campus to pray five times a day.

“Just because there is a nearby mosque doesn’t mean we have to push them out,” Azad said.

On Oct. 29, The Associated Press reported that Olathe residents Steven and Betty Gaedtke, who are two of the three facing criminal charges, filed an advance voting ballot in Kansas and voted in person in Arkansas when they were moving back and forth between homes in each state.

The Gaedtkes are scheduled to appear in court Dec. 3.

Something else to note: Lawrence attorney (and former Democratic lawmaker and gubernatorial candidate) Paul Davis is one of two lawyers who filed a federal lawsuit in September over Kobach’s plan to remove incomplete voter registrations 90 days after they’re Recent news on voter ID filed.

In his first such move In a separate lawsuit, since he was given the the American Civil Liberauthority, Kobach in ties Union is challenging October filed criminal the state’s proof-of-citicharges against three zenship requirement.

11.3 percent of the votes, and 27.4 percent said they were neutral. “Very favorable” and “somewhat favorable” each garnered about 5.5 percent (5.4 percent for “very favorable and 5.3 for “somewhat”). Margins of error ranged from 1.2 percent to 3.1 percent.

Maybe we can draw from this that readers have more opposition to Kobach generally, rather than the state’s voter identification laws.

One thing that could also play into the responses was that only registered voters (those who said they were registered, anyway) were allowed to take the survey. We asked that as a screening question before the other questions popped up.

Research group hosts meeting on jail plans, mental health programs

‘The last resort’

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Area residents will have a chance to learn more about Douglas County’s potential jail expansion and mental health crisis intervention center projects on Monday evening during an open meeting.

During the meeting, officials will explain some of the conclusions they’ve reached from an early 2015 research project.

This spring, a team of representatives from Chicago’s Huskey & Associates, Kansas University, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Sheriff Ken McGovern’s office were asked to look

into the county’s needs concerning the jail and its population of inmates classified as seriously mentally ill, among other things.

The group examined four nonconsecutive months of data gathered on everyone booked into the Douglas County Jail during that time.

In June the research team hosted a preliminary meeting outlining some of their findings. There they said of the 1,971 bookings examined, 18 percent were classified as seriously mentally ill and may qualify for treatment alternatives to jail.

Sheriff hires former Lawrence woman to undergo surgery for rare migraine disorder inmate to give back

KERRY TOWNSEND, 48, SUFFERS FROM HEMIPLEGIC MIGRAINE, a rare brain disorder that causes an everyday cycle of migraines and paralysis. Townsend traveled to Dallas on Thursday to undergo a new surgery to treat the disorder.

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @NikkiWentling

S

itting on the back of a rolling walker in her studio apartment, Kerry Townsend looked toward the floor and nervously slapped an elastic bracelet against her left wrist.

After a few minutes of thought, she looked up, smiled wide, and told a secret: She wants, more than anything, to drive a motorcycle. “I want to go fast and feel empowered,� Townsend said. “It sucks to be so frail and vulnerable and slow. It would be so liberating.�

For Townsend, a 48-year-old single mother of three who suffers daily from debilitating migraines and paralysis, having the ability

to drive a motorcycle — an activity that takes balance, good motor skills and tolerance for loud noise — would mean she could do everything else that she’s missing out on.

She daydreams of working a steady job; of holding her two young grandchildren without supervision.

She wants simple things, too, such as the energy to both take a shower and go to the grocery store in the same day, or to eat bacon or chocolate without it triggering pain.

They’re what Townsend calls “scary hopes� — things both large and small that she’s been hesitant to verbalize, even to herself. “People talk a lot about hope, that hope keeps you alive, and there’s no doubt about it,� she said. “But you have to temper that because if

He had a sense for how he might get hit, when he might get hit, and how fast the punch would come, three or four steps ahead of his opponent’s move. “I was a defensive fighter; I didn’t like to get hit,�

Hill told the Hutchinson News. “I was small, scary in a sense. I never wanted to engage in conflict.

It was the best decision ever made for me when I started boxing.�

you set yourself too high, it creates a very high place to fall from, and you really, really don’t want to fall from there. Having a chronic illness is devastating enough.�

For the first time in about five years, Townsend is letting herself believe there will be a time when she’ll live without pain.

On Thursday, Townsend, her youngest daughter, Peyton, and her Morkie dog, Mindy, left Lawrence for Dallas, where she underwent a preliminary procedure for a surgery that has been an effective treatment for some people with the same rare diagnosis as Townsend.

One KU Medical Center neurologist described the surgery

Hill’s first passion, and the only thing he said he was good at when his mother introduced him to the sport at the age of 6, led to Golden Gloves championships, Silver Mitten championships and a chance to go to nationals.

‘Wheel of torture’ Townsend woke up the morning of Nov. 7, 2010, unable to speak or move the right side of her body. She was taken to the emergency room.

Doctors thought she had suffered a stroke.

Dr. Nancy Hammond, a general neurologist at KU Medical Center who treats people with migraines, said that’s typical with the onset of hemiplegic migraine, a rare and severe form of migraine with which Townsend was later diagnosed. “The first time having these, people usually go to the ER because they think they’re having a stroke,� Hammond said. “It mimics one.�

Though migraines are common, affecting about 20 percent of the adult population, people suffering from hemiplegic migraines account for less than 1 percent of the population, Hammond said.

Townsend’s hemiplegic migraine has evolved into a chronic illness.

She’s also developed dystonia, a neurological movement disorder that affects her ability to walk.

Every day, she moves from having stroke-like symptoms, such as paralysis, to a migraine, which can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 24 hours, and then a crash — a cycle she’s dubbed the “wheel of torture.�

As Townsend tells it, she’s lost a lot in the past five years.

Townsend graduated from Kansas University with a religious studies degree six months prior to when the first hemiplegic migraine hit. She had been slated to start the

In plain terms, the surgery involves connecting stimulators to nerves in the forehead and the back of the head, near the spine, Hammond said. A rechargeable battery is implanted near the hip, and the patient uses a control to shock the nerves.

A 2014 case study by the surgery’s creator, Dr. Kenneth Reed, and available at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, states it has been “found to be a beneficial therapy� for migraine patients, but its potential with hemiplegic migraines has not been tracked.

The study followed four hemiplegic migraine patients, all of whom were said to have much fewer headache days and less — or no — hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) after the surgery.

Hammond said there’s continued debate in the headache neurology field about the viability of the procedure. “It’s fairly new, and I would classify it as experimental,� Hammond said. “From my standpoint, I would say surgery would be the last resort, for someone who’s tried everything before.�

Townsend will wear a temporary stimulator for three days. She’ll come back to Lawrence on Tuesday, and, if everything goes as planned, head back to Dallas later this month for a permanent implant.

Though no one has guaranteed the surgery will put her in full remission, that’s what she is hoping for.

She reads the Reed Migraine case study repeatedly, especially a section about a 50-year-old business owner who, when diagnosed with hemiplegic migraine, became bedridden and had to sell his businesses. ‘The last resort’ According to the study, Townsend was sched- he had resumed a normal uled Friday to undergo lifestyle and owned two the preliminary surgery at Reed Migraine Treatment Center in Dallas.

St. Luke’s interfaith chaplaincy program.

She gave that up, and she lost her home, savings and sense of personal safety, she said.

She’s sold almost everything — including a prized bicycle — and moved into the tight studio apartment off Massachusetts Street where she resides.

The one room is filled with furniture — and color, mostly purple (purple curtains, bed canopy, a half dozen purple lanterns). It’s her hideaway, where she sometimes has to hole up for days at a time to deal with a vicious migraine cycle and avoid triggers. “I used to be a strong woman,� Townsend said. “I owned a house as a single parent. I graduated at the top of my class; I graduated with honors, with distinction. I raised three kids at the same time. “You just don’t want to see your body or the person you know as your former self get taken away.

It whittles away at you,� she said. “That’s why this surgery is so important.�

Since she was first diagnosed, Townsend has tried a litany of treatments, including 14 different medications, as well as nonmedical remedies such as acupuncture, massage therapy and chiropractic care. At a friend’s suggestion, she tried marijuana.

Some things have worked. She’s on painkillers, has Botox treatments every 12 weeks and keeps to a no-grain, no-dairy, no-soy, no-caffeine diet.

Nothing so far has completely stopped the symptoms, and Townsend’s neurologist has told her she will never go into remission.

The surgery is “a lastditch effort,� she said. “I want the miracle cure.�

L awrence J ournal -W orld companies several years after he had the procedure. “I read that story all the time, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I want to go back to work so bad,’� Townsend said. “I want to be him. I want to be him so bad I can hardly stand it.�

Townsend’s Medicare is paying for 80 percent of both the preliminary and permanent procedures, but she has to pay approximately $12,000 up front.

To gather the money, she set up a GoFundMe account (gofundme.com/ kerrysue) and has auctioned off some of her re-

maining valuables, including a KU men’s basketball signed by the 2013-2014 team.

Going into it, she said she’s scared, mostly that the surgery won’t work.

But, for the most part, she’s excited, she said, and her mind drifted back to motorcycles. “You have to be able to operate your hands well and your feet, and your body has to be able to operate the machine underneath you,� Townsend said. “It’s a weird goal, but that will be the first thing I do.�

And while party officials are reluctant to say exactly which seats they plan to target, Kansas University political science professor Patrick Miller thinks he has a pretty good idea.

Miller spent much of the past several months compiling data on all 125 House seats and 40 Senate seats, analyzing how the voters in those districts voted in the 2014 gubernatorial election and the past two presidential races.

What he came up with was a list of 33 “mismatched” districts: those that are held by one party, but where voters lean toward the other party in larger races.

And what’s especially tantalizing for Democrats is that the vast majority of them lean in their favor: 23 House districts and eight Senate districts that are held

by Republicans, but which Democrat Paul Davis carried in the 2014 election and where President Barack Obama fared better than average in the 2008 and 2012 presidential races.

But there are also two House districts currently held

by Democrats where Republican Gov. Sam Brownback won sizable majorities and where Obama was trounced in both of his elections.

Not all of those districts are likely to be competitive next year. Many of the Democratic-leaning Republican seats are held by moderate Republicans whom Democrats have little interest in challenging, including Rep. Tom Sloan, of Lawrence, who, at least on paper, appears to occupy the single most mismatched district in the state.

But a handful of districts stand out as anomalies because they are held by solidly conservative Republicans and, in one case, a liberal Democrat, even though voters in those districts lean solidly in the other political direction.

Miller said there are a couple of factors that explain mismatched districts.

The first, and most obvious, is that the other party simply has never put up a quality candidate to challenge the incumbent.

The other factor, he said, is that most voters in Kansas really don’t know much about their state legislators.

And in a solidly Republican state like Kansas, they simply default to whatever Republican is on the ballot.

“If you look at that Kansas Speaks poll (from Fort Hays State University), a majority of Kansans don’t know the name of their senator or representative,” he said. “Maybe they recognize the name if they see it on the ballot. But they don’t have a solid perception of their legislators.”

The Journal-World examined Miller’s data and added two more variables that help identify how potentially vulnerable an incumbent might be next year: their margin of victory in the last election; and an index to measure how conservative or liberal they are, based on their votes on seven key bills in 2015 where moderate and conservative Republicans tended to split.

Using that, five legislators — four Republicans and one Democrat — stand out as potentially the most vulnerable because their voting behavior is at odds with their districts, and they won their last elections by narrow margins.

Top five districts Those five most vulnerable seats are: l Rep. Lane Hemsley, a first-term Republican from Topeka whose district partially overlaps with a betterknown Democrat, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley. Hemsley narrowly won his 2014 race in a district that went solidly for Davis, and which Obama carried in 2012. Yet Hemsley voted in favor of most of the high-profile conservative bills in the 2015 session, such as legalizing concealed carry of handguns without a permit or training, banning a

certain abortion procedure and support of Brownback’s tax policies. l Rep. Joe Scapa, a Wichita Republican who first won his seat in 2010, then lost to a Democrat in 2012, only to win it back by in 2014 by a mere 28 votes. In a district that went for both Davis and Obama, Scapa voted in 2015 in favor of Brownbacksupported policies such as school finance overhaul, expansion of concealed-carry gun rights, new restrictions on abortion, rescheduling local elections to November, issuing bonds to fill unfunded retirement liabilities and Brownback’s tax policies. l Rep. Charles (Chuck) Smith, a Republican from Pittsburg. A well-known figure in southeast Kansas, he works as a teacher and coaches the Pittsburg High School football team. But in a district that has leaned Democratic in the past, he voted in favor of most of the conservative-backed legislation in 2015, including abortion restrictions and Brownback’s tax policies. l Sen. Michael O’Donnell, a Wichita Republican who was part of the conservative sweep in the 2012 GOP primaries. With help from conservative-backed groups, he defeated incumbent Sen. Jean Schodorf, a moderate Republican who has since switched parties to become a Democrat. Before that, Democrats had never invested in recruiting candidates in that district.

O’Donnell narrowly won the general election with less than 50 percent of the vote against a Libertarian candidate and a Democrat who had a criminal record. l Rep. Ed Trimmer, a Democrat in an otherwise strongly conservative district that includes his hometown of Winfield in southcentral Kansas. Voters in his district went strongly for Davis in 2014, and for Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race. Trimmer voted in favor of a controversial anti-abortion bill, but voted against the Republican

agenda on virtually all other issues in the 2015 session.

He was initially declared the loser in his 2014 race, but when provisional ballots were counted days later, he edged out his Republican opponent by a mere 17 votes out of 6,665 votes cast.

“I think you’ve accurately identified the districts that will be competitive, both in terms of picking up new seats for Democrats in the House, plus the Democratic district most at risk,” Abbie Hodgson, who is coordinating House campaigns for the Kansas Democratic Party, told the Journal-World.

Clay Barker, executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, also agreed that those districts are likely to be among the most competitive races.

“They would be on our watch list,” he said, adding that there may be as many as six Senate districts and as many as 23 House districts that GOP officials believe “are in the range where they could be challenged.”

Of those five, O’Donnell is the only one who has drawn an opponent so far.

Lynn W. Rogers is a Wichita school board member and a former Republican who switched parties to challenge O’Donnell as a Democrat.

And Elizabeth Bishop, a Wichita Democrat and neighborhood activist, has announced that she intends to file against Scapa.

Hodgson said Democrats are optimistic about the 2016 races and believe they can pick up as many as five to seven seats.

But Barker said the GOP is also optimistic, and his party is eyeing more Democratic seats where Republicans can make gains.

The Brownback factor KU’s Miller said the keys for either party trying to capture an opponent’s seat are recruiting quality candidates to run against them and educating voters about the incumbent’s voting record.

But he said there’s another factor that could work in

The Conservative Index

Scapa

To measure how conservative or liberal a member of the Legislature is, the Journal-World examined roll call votes on seven key bills from the 2015 session that were supported by GOP leaders in the House and Senate, and which Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed. On each bill, lawmakers were given one point if they voted yes, minus one point if they voted no, and zero points if they were absent and didn’t vote. The result is a scale that ranges from minus-7 points, which is least conservative, to plus-7 points, the most conservative.

Senate Bill 7: Abolishing the school finance formula and replacing it with a system of block grants for two years while lawmakers try to devise another formula.

Yes: Scapa, Smith No: Hemsley, Trimmer Absent: O’Donnell Senate Bill 95: “The Kansas unborn child protection from dismemberment abortion act.”

Yes: Hemsley, Scapa, Smith, Trimmer, O’Donnell Senate Bill 45: “Authorizing the carrying of concealed handguns without a license under the personal and family protection act.”

Yes: Hemsley, Scapa, O’Donnell No: Smith, Trimmer Senate Bill 270: One of two tax bills passed at the end of the session to balance the budget. Included a tax amnesty program, expansion of Rural Opportunity Zones and expansion of tax credits for contributions to individual development accounts.

Hill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

he led a life filled with drugs and imprisonment.

“When I was using, I put myself in bad situations,” Hill said. “I knew police could come here, I could get killed, or something could go wrong. I tried to count on that to keep me safe in those areas that didn’t look right, but, you know, when you’re making choices to use and get high, and have an addiction, I just had to have it.

“I wish I would’ve paid attention to it. It makes you ignore life-threatening situations knowing you have a family that needs you.”

During high school, Hill started smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. He started hanging around with people he had no reason to be around, but he ignored his reasoning and started using cocaine. When he was 17, his drug of choice was crack cocaine, which he admits held him addicted for 20 years.

Hill’s addiction led him to commit crimes to support a habit he couldn’t shake.

He was convicted of two felonies, aggravated robbery and robbery, as well as possession of opiates, and possession of narcotics with the intent to sell.

He spent eight consecutive years in prison, and four years in and out of jail for violating his probation. His time in jail destroyed family relationships; he hasn’t seen his 20-year-old son since he was a 2-year-old toddler.

Loading his body with poisonous drugs caused Hill to lose his self-respect and cast away any dream he had of a boxing career.

“When I lost that, I lost a piece of me,” Hill said of his boxing career. “I never got to mourn all I’ve done until I started

.

getting clean. I never got the chance to sincerely apologize to all the people I’ve damaged.”

But Hill said his admission of his addiction, wrecked relationships and shattered passion has built and made him who he is.

“A lot of people ask me if I could change any of that, would you? But I don’t think I would,” he said. “God allowed me to go through some of that stuff to prepare me to help other people. Desire is no longer there because something is stronger there, the desire to help others in any capacity that I can through programs or talking to them.”

Hill’s desire to help others who were in his shoes led him to the Substance Abuse Center of Kansas (SACK) in Hutchinson.

From there, he traveled to Wichita to work for Higher Ground, which is an alcohol and substance abuse program. He found himself back in Hutchinson after a past coach-like figure reached out to him.

The voice was constantly in Hill’s ear, asking, “What are you doing with your life?” ‘‘You’re a good kid” and “You don’t need to go down this road in your life.” Most of it fell on deaf ears, but little pieces over time stuck to him. That voice was Reno County Sheriff Randy Henderson, who previously worked for the Drug Enforcement Unit.

Henderson arrested, interrogated and investigated Hill multiple times.

But through Henderson’s career, he was one of the officers to whom Hill said he felt some type of connection.

“I threw him to the wolves because I had no idea how to set this up,” Henderson said of the life skills program at the correctional facility. “I needed this because I needed someone who can reach inmates. He gives what he felt like he was lack-

ing when he was in the system.”

Hill recently graduated six male and five female inmates at the jail from life skills programs. The program is a five-week class that teaches communication, monitoring, role modeling, consistent discipline, warning signs and taking a clear stance against drugs.

Henderson hired Hill before the opening of the new jail as the program director, but officially became the director when the jail opened on Aug. 12.

“When he made that decision, he knew I wasn’t going to be that person anymore and he could trust me,” Hill said.

“I’m looked at as an employee and not an ex-con.

It’s earned.”

Henderson said he spoke with staff when he made the decision to hire Hill. The sheriff said he couldn’t place Hill in the facility if the staff wasn’t going to respect him. The staff, however, said when Hill was incarcerated, he never was disrespectful.

“We’re not here to judge people,” Henderson said. “We’re just the keeper of the keys.”

As of Oct. 12, the Reno County Correctional Facility had a total of seven groups: Peer Support, Substance Abuse Program, GED, Anger Management, Seeking Safety and a mental health class.

Hill recalled a time when he was in the old jail and was asked to speak to multiple inmates in a cell.

One was uninterested as he laid in his bunk. His back was turned toward Hill and the other inmates. “‘That’s where I was lying’ for eight years,” Hill told the inmate.

“I take that personal,” Hill said. “Why can’t they see what I see? I can see their future and where they are headed, and it’s like, I’m trying to help them and they don’t want it. That hurts pretty bad.”

Without hesitation, Hill will gladly pull out his criminal history and show pictures from when he was still high, uncaring, as well as his disciplinary reports from prison, to prove to inmates his story is real.

Hill knows he could find himself in the programs if he doesn’t tap into his boxing instincts that allowed him to dodge trouble in the ring.

Hill presented himself as a target long enough to make his opponents fall into a trap to counterpunch, which takes discipline. When he learned the fundamentals of boxing, he said he had to be obedient to his training, which he now uses to stay clean.

His faith in his defensive style gives him the ability to think a little further on how he is supposed to carry himself to not let his children down, his wife down, or the sheriff down, and his whole family, he said.

“I’m not in a drug house,” Hill said. “My choice of friends has changed. I’ve been married a little over a year now. I knew my life had to change. Anything worth having is worth going through it. That is about as real as I can explain it.”

Hill has a 22-year-old daughter, Joslyn, and Jaylen, 20, Justice, 8, and two stepchildren, Erica and Taylor Long.

Now Hill wakes up in the morning, prepares 8-year-old Justice for school, and ponders, “Why me?”

“When I think about God, I think about when my case was going on,” he said. “I was possibly looking at 35 years in prison.

Why was I found not guilty of that crime that I openly admit I played a role in? When I say why me, I think about how God saved my life, and I think about where I’ve come from and where I’m at now.”

treatments and mental health services could alleviate much of the pressure stemming from the jail’s ever-increasing inmate population, they said.

Monday, the research team will provide more in-depth information, said County Administrator Craig Weinaug.

“We’ll go into pretty big detail as to the data we’ve collected and the conclusions

we’ve reached,” he said.

In addition, county officials will discuss recent trips to Louisville, Ky., Washington, D.C., San Antonio and Topeka to examine mental health facilities in different locations.

“We’ll talk about the different facilities we visited and what we learned there and what lessons we might apply,” Weinaug said.

Stubborn guy is not husband material Dear Annie: I have been with “Jim” for almost a year. He asked me to marry him, and I said yes.

Annie, it isn’t an issue of trust. It’s respect.

He makes me feel inadequate. I let him know that I cannot compete with these other women, and his response was that I need to find someone else.

I don’t want anyone else. All I want is his attention on me when we are together. He told me that all of his friends think looking is OK. It bothers me when we can’t have a conversation because he loses concentration. He never wants to discuss any issues we have. Instead, he leaves and says we

my husband gets phone calls and expensive gifts from his kids. I have children from a previous marriage and they love my husband and always visit him on Father’s Day and bring him cards and gifts. It’s the same at Christmas. His children give him expensive presents, and I’m lucky to get a trinket from the dollar store.

How can I get over this? — Crying Dear Crying: You are not likely to get a gift of equal value to your husband’s, nor should you expect one, but his kids can certainly give you a card on these occasions to show they are thinking of you. It’s OK to let them know what these things would mean to you.

Consistent care Kansas officials need to give top priority to solving the problem of high turnover among social workers responsible for resolving child welfare cases.

D

ouglas County Judge Peggy Kittel cited an example of a child who recently appeared in her courtroom and had been in the state’s child welfare system for two years. During that time, turnover at the agency that contracts with the state to provide case management services for such children had resulted in seven different case workers being assigned to resolve problems so the child could return home or to find another placement for that child.

Each of those case workers may have been doing his or her best to help this child, but, with so much turnover, how can they make much progress? Kittel said she couldn’t pinpoint the reason for the high turnover. “I don’t know if they’re overwhelmed by the type of cases we’re dealing with, or if their case loads are too high or they’re not getting enough support … But it’s affecting our ability to help these families in crisis.”

Even if this was an isolated incident, it would be a serious concern, but officials with the Kansas Department of Children and Families indicate that Douglas County and KVC Behavioral Healthcare, the state’s local contractor, are not alone in this problem. A DCF representative told the Journal-World that fewer people are applying for and accepting positions at child welfare agencies across the state.

To help deal with that situation, she said, the department is “offering incentives” to try to retain more social workers.

The department also is trying to fill the gap by allowing people without social work degrees to be hired as “family support workers.” Although some of those workers may have other skills and experience that qualify them for the work they are doing, a current advertisement on the KVC website lists a high school degree or GED and “experience working with children” as the only job requirements. “Previous experience in children and family services and a bachelor’s degree in human services preferred,” it adds.

If the family support workers can stick with a case for a longer period of time, Kansas children and families may actually benefit, but that doesn’t eliminate the need for DCF to address the problem of high turnover among professional social workers. Is the pay too low? Is the caseload too large? Are work conditions a problem? Are social workers not getting the support they need from the contract agencies?

According to state figures, Kansas has about 6,500 children in its foster care system at any one time, and, since 2011, more children have been coming into the system each month than have been exiting. One can’t help but wonder if children are lingering in the system longer because of the high turnover in case managers — a situation that would be detrimental both to the children and to state taxpayers.

These children are in the state system because they need some help, and the system currently seems to be letting at least some of those children down.

DCF officials should give top priority to resolving the turnover problem and providing more consistent help to the Kansas children who need it.

Unintentional racism is still racism It had nothing to do with race.

So said Sheriff Leon Lott, last week, in discussing a violent arrest by one of his officers, a white deputy named Ben Fields, of a black female student at Spring Valley High in Richland County, S.C. Fields, a school resource officer, was called in when the girl reportedly ignored a teacher’s instruction to stop using her cellphone and leave the classroom. He ended up overturning her desk and slinging her across the floor like a sandbag or a sack of dog food.

His actions, caught on cellphone video, have detonated social media, many observers expressing visceral fury over this treatment of a black child. But Lott, who later fired his deputy, said he doesn’t think Fields acted from racial prejudice because he has an African-American girlfriend.

It is a statement of earnest, staggering obtuseness that sheds no light on the officer’s overreaction, but reveals with stark clarity the simplistic way many of us perceive the all-American conundrum of race. Granted, it is not inconceivable that a white girl could have been subjected to the same brutality in a similar

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Bias is frequently subterranean, something you carry without meaning to or knowing you do.” situation. But it is a matter of statistical fact that it’s more likely to happen to a child of color.

Multiple studies have shown that those kids are subjected to harsher discipline in school than their white classmates. Indeed, numbers released last year by the federal government show that this begins in preschool where the “students” are little more than toddlers, yet black kids, who account for 18 percent of the population, get 42 percent of the suspensions.

Nothing to do with race?

The people who habitually say that operate under the

misapprehension that racial bias requires intent or awareness and that it leaves obvious evidence of itself: a tendency toward racist comments, let’s say, or membership in the Ku Klux Klan. In that worldview, racial bias is incompatible with having a black girlfriend.

But that worldview is naive. Bias is frequently subterranean, something you carry without meaning to or knowing you do. In a country that has used every outlet of media, religion, education, politics, law and science for over two centuries to drive home that black is threatening, black is inferior, black is bad, it is entirely possible Fields could have acted from unconscious racial bias and yet had a black girlfriend. For that matter, he could have acted from unconscious racial bias and had a black face; AfricanAmerican people are no more immune to the drumbeat of negativity surrounding them than is anyone else.

So “nothing to do with race” is a reflexive cop-out many of us embrace against all reason because to do otherwise is to face a mirror whose reflection does not flatter. Which is why the usual suspects — Steve Doocy,

Mark Fuhrman, Glenn Beck and etcetera — have attempted to fix the blame for what happened here on the girl.

Let’s be very clear in response. It doesn’t matter if she was disruptive. It doesn’t matter if she was disobedient. It doesn’t matter if she was disrespectful. Those things justify discipline, but they emphatically do not justify this child being lifted and flung by a grown man as if she were an inanimate object.

If she were white, that would likely go without saying.

One is reminded of all the other African Americans we have seen in just the last few years brutalized and even killed for no good reason.

One is reminded of Trayvon Martin and Walter Scott and Eric Garner and Charnesia Corley and Oscar Grant and Tamir Rice and Sean Bell and Levar Jones and more names than this column has space to hold, more blood than conscience can contain. And how many times have we been offered the same simplistic assurance in response?

This had nothing to do with race, they say.

Of course not. It never does.

Boating dreams beat reality “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Thus spoke the Water Rat in “The Wind in the Willows.” Human beings apparently agree.

The marinas of the world are filled with boats. But many of them never seem to leave their moorings. Why is this?

Perhaps because the dream of messing around in boats is rosier than the reality. It’s also said that the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day he acquires his boat and the day he sells it.

Nevertheless, the dream of owning a boat dies hard and unpleasant memories of life aboard ship are fleeting. My wife and I had chartered liveaboard boats before and each time concluded that the seafaring life wasn’t for us. Ship quarters are claustrophobic.

Marine toilets are notoriously vindictive. Sleeping in a V-berth is like sleeping in a coffin. According to another saying, “There is no lesson in the second kick of a mule.” At my age, I should have learned what I like and don’t like. But in the August heat of landlocked Kansas, it’s easy to yield, like Ishmael in “Moby Dick,” to the seductive summons to see “the watery part of the world.”

An online ad for the Vancouver boat rental agency showed Arthos, a 27-foot trawler, anchored in a secluded, idyllic bay. The layout was cozy but ingeniously designed to accommodate a kitchen with stove and refrigerator, sleeping quarters, dining space, even a TV. The

was filled with warnings of gale force winds and unsafe anchorages. By the second day we remembered why it was that 25 years ago we’d said, “Never again.” We ended up docking at marinas every night, using their toilets and showers. It had all the romance of an RV camp.

The best part of the trip was the characters we encountered. We met adventuresome elderly folk who’d sailed the Greek Islands, the Baltic and the South Pacific.

We met a fellow from Belgium who was doing a prosperous business renting out a donut-shaped boat for puttering around in Vancouver’s harbor, grilling hot dogs and drinking beer. Most memorable was a young man with stringy hair and beard wearing a conical Chinese hat who captained a water-taxi. He’d bought a 36-foot 1975 vintage boat for $23,000, though he didn’t know how to sail — his girlfriend was teaching him.

What was his ultimate goal?

“Circumnavigation!” he cried with an ecstatic smile.

No fear of the Roaring Forties, of turning turtle, of being attacked by pirates or of running out of money. He was the incarnation of youth. On our last day we saw a man carry his comatose mother from her wheelchair to the cockpit of his sailboat. She was half asleep. A nurse fed her with a spoon. But off she sailed with her son at the helm. Who knows what images of distant isles and seas visited her ageless dreams?

boat was equipped with a dinghy and grill. Crab pots and fishing gear were offered, inspiring visions of bouillabaisse, grilled salmon, etc. Folly beckoned. I was ready to sell the house, buy a boat and spend the rest of my life at sea.

On the day we took possession of the Arthos, the rental agency was in turmoil.

Someone had run one of their sailboats aground. The boat had been brought to the dock.

Men with scuba gear were examining the damage, which they estimated to be $30,000 minimum. It was ominous.

A look at the charts revealed hazards such as “Shipwreck Rock.” Going through the passage to our Gulf Islands cruising grounds during flood and ebb tides was likened to being tossed in the churning waters of a washing machine.

The boat’s bathroom was about the size of a telephone — George Gurley, a resident of booth. The shower consisted of the sink’s faucet attached rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World. to a tube. The cruising guide

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 1, 1915: years “‘We want a nonago skid sidewalk.’ So IN 1915 read a sign left

by Halloween celebrators after they had torn up about twenty-five feet of the brick walk leading east on Fourteenth street, between Louisiana and Ohio streets, late Saturday night. Had it not been for the fact that a citizen who lives in the neighborhood saw the gang at work and reported the matter to the police it is probable that the whole walk would have been torn up, as about ten men were working as fast as they could....

The police car reached the scene shortly before midnight but no trace of the marauders except the sign and the destroyed walk was visible. The walk which leads down what is probably the steepest hill in the city, has been unpopular for years. It is constructed of vitrified brick and has been worn down by the feet of many students until it is of icy slipperiness.”

“Their gymnasium training stood four young women, students of the University, in good stead, yesterday afternoon, when they were locked in the Administration building at closing-up time. The women had entered the building to look at some of the exhibits, while on a Sunday afternoon walk, and were engrossed in admiration of the paintings on the fourth floor when the janitor locked the doors. As darkness came on the co-eds decided that they had better go home, but, to their dismay, they found that the doors of the building were securely locked. All of the offices were locked too, and there was no way to get to a telephone. Just as they had decided that they were going to have to spend the night in the building, one of the girls thought of trying to climb out of the window in the basement.

By dint of a few of the simple stunts that they had been taught in the gymnasium, all of them succeeded in escaping by this means.”

Antibiotics and Obesity Antibiotics have saved millions of lives over the past 70 or so years, but like the vast majority of drugs, their use is not without side effects, which warrants some caution.

Oral antibiotics disrupt the beneficial bacteria that inhabit our gut, leading to diarrhea and other digestive issues. They interfere with the absorption of some B vitamins. And a 2013 study found that some antibiotics damaged normal cells.

I have long suspected that antibiotics also play a role in the obesity epidemic, an effect that may be amplified with the consumption of junk foods.

In the 1940s and 1950s, scientists discovered that antibiotics increased weight gain in farm animals, including chickens, cattle, and hogs. This finding spurred the addition of antibiotics to their feed. Bigger animals meant—and still mean—bigger profits.

“But what if that meat is us?” asked the writer of a recent New York Times article titled “The Fat Drug.” At least three studies conducted in the 1950s—studies that probably could not be ethically done today—found that children and adults did gain more weight when they took antibiotics.

My hunch is that the effects of antibiotics on growth and weight are more pronounced when the drugs are given to infants and children. It could be that the alteration of gut bacteria changes metabolism for life. Recent animal studies seem to support my thinking. We certainly have plenty of reasons to be concerned and to be more judicious in our use of antibiotics. –JC

Breakfast Linked to Physical Activity in Kids Eating breakfast is related to increased physical activity, according to a study of 860 adolescent boys and girls. Researchers from Cambridge University and other institutions tracked moderate and vigorous physical activity in the adolescents. Participants who engaged in more physical activity were more likely to have eaten breakfast. Adolescents who did not always eat breakfast had higher levels of physical activity on the days they did eat breakfast.

The 2016 elections are a year away, set for Nov. 8, 2016, but already, an unusually large number of candidates have filed to run for state legislative seats, and more have formed committees to start raising money.

Kansas Democrats have no illusions that they can win control of either ANALYSIS the House or Senate next year, but they are focusing in on a few districts that they think are ripe for an upset.

Likewise, Republicans know that most Democrats in the Legislature are in safe Democratic districts, mostly in the urban centers of Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita. But they are not giving up on the chance that they could expand their super-majorities in both chambers.

Russian airliner crash in Egypt kills 224 Officials dismiss Islamic State’s claim of responsibility Kim Hjelmgaard and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

All 224 people aboard a Russian airliner were killed early Saturday when the Airbus A321 crashed in Egypt’s Sinai peninsula shortly after takeoff from a popular Red Sea resort town, officials say.

The Metrojet flight, carrying 217 passengers and seven crewmembers, was en route from Sharm elSheikh in Egypt to St. Petersburg when it dropped off radar screens 23 minutes into the flight.

It is believed to be the deadliest air accident in the history of Russian aviation, surpassing a 1985 disaster in Uzbekistan in which 200 people died, the Rus-

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a statement expressing his condolences to the families of the victims and declared a day of mourning. A team of Russian investigators was sent immediately to Egypt, according to Russia’s Emergencies Ministry, the Russian state-run news agency RIA reports.

Officials said 129 bodies and two black boxes with flight data from the plane were found at the crash site, according to RIA. The Russian news outlet Life-News published and tweeted the first photos from the site, showing smoking wreckage spread out on desolate terrain.

Israel’s peace movement lost its champion in 1995 Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY

The upcoming anniversary of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination 20 years ago by a Jewish extremist may also mark the death of Israel’s peace movement.

Two decades later, Israel appears further away from the prospect for peace than ever.

Quite a change from the time Rabin shook hands on the White House lawn with Palestinian Chairman Yasser Arafat in 1993 and signed the Oslo Peace Accords, giving Palestinians limited self-governance over parts of the West Bank and Gaza.

JERUSALEM

Since then, Israel has moved to the right politically and no one is talking about an independent Palestinian state happening anytime soon. A small but vocal group of young Israeli extremists have built nearly 100 unauthorized settlement outposts and initiated confrontations with Palestinians.

And just this week, Hagai Amir, the brother of Rabin’s assassin, was arrested in Tel Aviv for posting alleged threats to Israel’s president on Facebook.

Rabin, a hawkish generalturned prime minister, was gunned down in Tel Aviv on Nov. 4, 1995, during a pro-peace v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

A321 received required factory maintenance in 2014. The statement identified the captain of the plane as Valery Nemov and said he had 12,000 air hours of experience, including 3,860 in A321s.

There was no other immediate word on the cause of the crash, although the Egyptian government ruled out the possibility that it could have been shot down.

The Islamic State group’s affiliate in Egypt, however, claimed it was responsible for the crash, the AFP news agency reported. “The soldiers of the caliphate succeeded in bringing down a Russian plane in Sinai,” said the statement circulated on social media, according to AFP. The claim could not immediately be verified.

The Russian Transport Minister quickly dismissed the claim, saying it “cannot be considered reliable,” Interfax News reports.

Yitzhak Rabin, a hawkish general-turned prime minister, was gunned down in Tel Aviv on Nov. 4, 1995, during a pro-peace rally in what’s now called Rabin Square.

JAFFA , ISRAEL Amid ongoing violence between Palestinians and Israelis, a school in this city seems more determined than ever to teach Arab and Jewish children about coexistence.

In a sunny playground here just 3 miles south of Tel Aviv, children paint recycled tires in vibrant colors and refurbish wooden furniture to beautify a place that many in the community say is their best chance at a peaceful future.

This is the Jaffa branch of “Yad b’Yad” — or “Hand in Hand” in both Hebrew and Arabic — a school made up of four kindergarten and two first-grade classes that aims to respond to growing Jewish-Arab segregation and violence with mutual respect and open dialogue.

“Psychologically, this is the only place where we feel that my children, and my neighbor’s children, are secure,” said Hani Chamy, an Arab engineer and generations-old resident of Jaffa who was one of the first parents to send her two girls to the preschool. “It’s a great relief.”

Walgreens deal to buy Rite Aid will likely raise consumer costs Jayne O’Donnell USA TODAY

Walgreens Boots Alliance says it isn’t trying to bolster its bargaining clout with its $17.2 billion acquisition of the Rite Aid drugstore chain. Instead, it’s trying to improve health care delivery for consumers, CEO Stefano Pessinam says.

Others aren’t sure that’s the case.

“Everyone in healthcare is trying to get bigger than the next company they’re negotiating with,” pharmacist Doug Hoey, CEO of the National Community

Pharmacists Association, says.

Hospitals and health insurers have been ringing up mega-deals of their own in recent years and months. This summer alone, insurer Aetna announced plans to acquire Humana, and Anthem heralded plans to buy Cigna.

Standalone hospitals, especially in rural areas, are either being gobbled up by big chains or shuttered. And CVS Health bought 1,600 of Target’s retail pharmacies.

The Walgreens deal comes as drug prices are soaring.

The Health Care Cost Institute reported Thursday that spending on brand prescription drugs in 2014 jumped by $45 per person,

an increase that’s four times larger than in 2013. That’s despite the fact that overall use of these drugs was down 16%. HCCI said much of the spending increase was due to the use of high-prices Hepatitis C drugs that became available starting in late 2013.

The deal is “going to hurt consumers in the end,” Susan Hayes, who is a principal at the consulting firm Pharmacy Outcomes Specialists, said. “Consumers are going to have less say over drug pricing.”

For the small pharmacies Hoey’s group represents, the deal could set them back even more as they struggle to get higher — and

faster — reimbursements from the pharmacy benefit management companies that control nearly all of drug pricing.

The role of PBMs have expanded from simply handling prescription billing about 15 years ago to deciding which drugs insurers cover, what they cost and how much pharmacies are reimbursed for them. They are the middlemen that handle drug plans for employers and insurers and include CVS’ Caremark and the mail order drug company Express Scripts.

PEACE TALKS LACKING WITHOUT RABIN v CONTINUED FROM 1B

rally in what’s now called Rabin Square. He was 73. A ceremony to honor him was held there Saturday night, and guests included former president Bill Clinton, who brokered that handshake with Arafat.

Although peace talks have continued since Rabin was slain, “there was no one in Israel with Rabin’s combination of political will, the political clout, defense credentials and the courage to stand up to all the opponents of peace,” Ephraim Sneh, a former government minister and close confidant of Rabin, told USA TODAY. Rabin’s daughter, Dalia, said this week, “There is no peace process. We are facing terrorism. Blood is being shed again. I have no other country, and my country has changed.”

Five years after Rabin was killed, Palestinians launched the Second Intifada, or uprising, and a third one may be unfolding with the near-daily series of stabbings and clashes across Israel and the West Bank since mid-September. In the past decade, Israel fought a war with Lebanon and three wars with Hamas militants that rule Gaza.

Relations between Israelis and Palestinians have deteriorated to the point where Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday that negotiating an interim peace deal with Israel would be futile.

Abbas also repeated threats he made in September at the U.N. General Assembly that Palestinians are no longer bound by the Oslo accords if Israel does not honor its commitments.

Speaking at a Rabin memorial this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is no peace because the Palestinians “are not prepared to recognize the nation-state of the Jewish people. They are not prepared to end the conflict once and for all.”

Whether Israelis and Palestinians would have achieved peace if Rabin had lived “is an agonizing question,” said Arie Kacowicz, a Hebrew University political scientist. “It’s clear something very deep died with him.”

Kacowicz said that from 1993, when the Oslo accords were signed, until the assassination two years later, “Rabin and Arafat had developed a real working relationship. Arafat trusted Rabin, and the kind of cooperation they achieved was never replicated, not by Shimon Peres and not by Benjamin Netanyahu,” Rabin’s immediate successors.

Yariv Oppenheimer, general director of Peace Now, a leftwing Israeli advocacy group, said, “Within the peace camp, the assassination created an unspoken fear that if you supported a two-state solution and confronted the right wing, you could pay with your life.”

Oppenheimer said that fear allowed the radical right to grow bolder and establish more

settlements.

Even today, he said, “Netanyahu incites the public’s fears to gain political power. During this last election (in March), he told his constituents, ‘The left wing is bringing the Arabs to vote in buses’ in order to get the right wing to get out and vote.”

Moshe Arens, a former minister of defense, believes there can be no peace with the Palestinians “until they become a functioning entity with the authority and capability to sign and enforce a peace agreement.”

He said even if Abbas did sign a peace treaty, “it would soon be rejected by other Palestinians, including Hamas.”

Kacowicz agreed that the prospects for peace are extremely slim right now.

“There is an almost complete loss of hope in finding a political solution in the foreseeable future, but I personally believe we shouldn’t give up hope,” he said.

“Conflicts are not earthquakes.

Eventually they can be resolved.”

sacred to both Muslims and Jews. Since then, confrontations have increased. So far, 11 Israelis have been killed, mostly in stabbings, while 55 Palestinians, 35 of them identified by Israel as attackers, have been killed by Israeli fire.

Bringing together Jewish and Arab students is a revolutionary idea in Israel, where children usually register for schools along demographic lines — Arab, secular Jewish or religious Jewish. And it appears to be gaining traction.

When Hand in Hand opened its Jaffa branch — one of six schools — three years ago, 35 Arab and Jewish students attended. Today, enrollment is 170, split almost evenly between Arabs and Jews, and applicants are expected to grow each year.

Each class has two teachers — one Arabic-speaking and one Hebrew-speaking — and students learn to master both languages.

The schools mark all Jewish, Muslim and Christian holidays.

Anat Itzhaki, director of the Jaffa branch, said teachers and parents welcome complicated issues, such as how to handle sensitive dates like Israeli Independence Day and “Nakba” Day, when Palestinians commemorate the “catastrophe” they say was the creation of the state of Israel.

The school is vital for the community and parents — who understand their 5-year-olds may not yet grasp the implications of their ethnic, religious or national identities — to show that it is possible to “be together, while still different, and learn about each other,” Chamy said.

A PTA meeting last week functioned as a kind of support

group, where parents expressed mutual feelings of frustration and despair over the growing violence. One Arab parent spoke about how one of her relatives had been doused with acid, and another about how a relative was fired from work because she expressed support for Palestinians.

Hand in Hand sought a different approach last week when Tel Aviv and three other Israeli cities barred the mostly Arab custodial staff from campuses during school hours for security reasons. The Jaffa branch brought cakes for its janitors as a sign of solidarity and to show appreciation.

Ned Lazarus.

Even though Jaffa is known for its liberal politics and large activist community, such initiatives remain important because segregation poses a threat, said Dafna Kaplan, a photographer and Jewish Israeli mother at the Hand in Hand School. Since the recent spike in violence, she said her daughter — who studies at another school in Jaffa — for the first time referred to Palestinians as “dirty Arabs.”

“This is the only sane place,” Kaplan said about Hand in Hand. “But also I feel like it’s a mission. You have to create it. It won’t happen by itself.”

Kaplan’s doing just that by

“Psychologically, this is the only place where we feel that my children, and my neighbor’s children, are secure.”

Israeli-Palestinian coexistence projects have been around for decades, from groups like Combatants for Peace — which brought together former Israeli soldiers and former Palestinian militants — to Seeds of Peace — which placed Israeli and Palestinian children in summer camps in Israel and abroad — and a long list of Israeli-Palestinian magazines, dialogue programs and economic initiatives.

Seeds for Peace introduced a follow-up program in March for its 5,000 graduates, more than half of whom are now leaders in their fields, and one in five of whom are working in the coexistence movement, according to studies by the group’s former Middle East program director,

spearheading a project to show the diversity of voices in the community. She’s taking a series of photos of those connected to the school and will project them on a clock tower in town, along with a paragraph about their stories.

While parents are eager to foster mutual understanding during these tense times, it’s easy to see a sense of normalcy back at the school’s playground when Jewish and Arab children go to class together.

“It’s fun to know other languages because then you can speak with all kinds of people!” exclaims Ofri Druckman, 5, as two of her friends, one Arab, one Jewish, nod in agreement, before they all resume playing on the wooden jungle gym.

deadly nightclub fire and stampede Friday left at least 27 people dead and about 180 people injured.

The fire broke out in downtown Bucharest about 11 p.m. at the Colectiv club, which was hosting some 400 people for a free rock concert by the band Goodbye to Gravity, according to BBC News. Survivors told the news agency the fire started after the metal band set off fireworks.

ELECTIONS 2 0

ON POLITICS Cooper Allen USA TODAY

The Republican presidential field met for their third debate, while Hillary Clinton looked to capitalize on her recent momentum in the Democratic race.

More from the world of politics: LOOKING BACK AT THE COLORADO DEBATE The GOP presidential field gathered in Boulder, Colo., for the third presidential debate Wednesday.

What was expected to be a showdown between race leaders Donald Trump and Ben Carson turned into a combative session among several candidates and the CNBC moderators. Ted Cruz scored points with the crowd when he excoriated their questions as evidence of “why the American people don’t trust the media.”

OTHER TAKEAWAYS:

u Jeb Bush’s attempt to take down Marco Rubio over his Senate voting record fell flat. Rubio countered: “We’re running for the same position and someone has convinced you that attacking me is going to help you.” u Social Security seems to be emerging as a GOP fault line.

The debate highlighted a divide among Bush, Chris Christie, Rand Paul and John Kasich, who call for raising the retirement age, and Mike Huckabee and Trump who argue against benefit cuts.

BUSH SAYS CAMPAIGN ‘NOT ON LIFE SUPPORT’ Following Bush’s rough debate outing, the former Florida governor looked to reassure supporters.

The day after the debate, Bush said his bid is “not on life support.”

The debate followed cutbacks in his campaign staff. But, Bush says. “We have the most money,” he said. “We have the greatest organization. We’re doing fine.”

Sanders lacking in key endorsements

Clinton claims support from more than half of congressional Democrats

Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has won endorsements from major celebrities. But among his congressional colleagues, where’s the love?

Only two members of Congress — Reps. Raul Grijalva of Arizona and Keith Ellison of Minnesota — have endorsed the Vermont independent for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sanders’ rival, former secretary of State and former senator Hillary Clinton, already claims support from about twothirds of Democrats in the House and more than threequarters of Democrats in the Senate, along with other elected officials across the country.

Moderate Democrats such as Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri say they’re backing Clinton because Sanders is “too liberal” to win the presidency. The bad news for Sanders doesn’t stop there. On Tuesday, he also lost the endorsement of a leading progressive, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio.

“As president, I know she’ll put working families & the middle class first & keep OH moving forward,” Brown tweeted in endorsing Clinton.

Clinton even has the backing of Vermont’s senior senator, Democrat Patrick Leahy, and governor, Peter Shumlin. Leahy pledged his support during a 2012 trip to Haiti with Clinton when she was still secretary of State, long before she or Sanders announced their campaigns.

“Vermonters keep their word,” said David Carle, Leahy’s spokesman.

Endorsements from elected officials are important, especial-

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent, has endorsements from two members of Congress. ly from governors or senators who can help candidates by lending support from their statewide organizations. Elected officials also are among “super delegates,” who can vote for the candidate of their choice at national political conventions.

In each contested presidential nomination race from 1980 to 2000, the candidate who led in endorsements from party and elected officials eventually won the nomination, according to Marty Cohen, a co-author of The Party Decides.

“It’s a stamp of approval, essentially, and a cue to voters that the candidate is acceptable,” said Cohen, an associate professor of political science at James Madison University.

Tad Devine, a senior strategist for Sanders, said he agrees elected officials are important allies. But he believes super delegates may reconsider their endorsements if another candidate

proves stronger. That happened in 2008, when some of Clinton’s endorsers switched to then-candidate Barack Obama.

“I think the way you win these nominations is not by having people deliver votes to you but by convincing voters to vote for you,” Devine said.

Sanders’ campaign is proud of winning endorsements from Grijalva and Ellison, co-chairmen of the Congressional Pro-

gressive Caucus that Sanders founded in 1991.

Clinton’s prominent progressive endorsements include one from New York Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a legend among progressives, hasn’t yet expressed a preference in the Democratic presidential race.

For Sanders to have a shot at the nomination, he will need overwhelming support from progressives, said Dante Scala, associate professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire.

“He can’t have them fracture,” Scala said.

Some progressive House members are holding back, hoping to pressure each candidate to campaign on a liberal agenda, said Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., first vice chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

“In many ways, we’ve kept our powder dry,” Pocan said Oct. 6 after introducing pro-union legislation with Sanders.

Like Clinton, Sanders enjoys the support of celebrities. His endorsers include actors Will Ferrell and Marc Ruffalo, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and actor and musician Michael “Killer Mike” Render. The campaign got significant mileage online recently from Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane’s endorsement, Devine said.

Sanders hasn’t yet made a priority of seeking backing from members of Congress. Brown said after endorsing Clinton that Sanders hadn’t asked for his endorsement.

Sanders will focus more on congressional endorsements after demonstrating he can succeed with voters, beginning in Iowa and New Hampshire in February, Devine said.

High court takes up bias in jury selection Racial discrimination case may affect how cases are tried, raise death penalty concerns Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The original jury pool for Timothy Foster’s 1987 murder trial in Rome, Ga., included 10 blacks among 95 potential jurors. During the selection process, prosecutors highlighted their names, circled the word “black” on their questionnaires and added handy notations such as “B#1” and “B#2.”

After more than half the pool was excused for specific reasons, each side was allowed to make a set number of additional strikes — as long as it wasn’t because of race or gender. On a sheet they labeled “definite NO’s,” prosecutors listed the five remaining black prospects on top, and they ranked them in case “it comes down to having to pick one of the black jurors.”

Foster, who is black, was swiftly convicted of murdering an elderly white woman.

At sentencing, the prosecutor urged the all-white jury to impose death in order to “deter other people out there in the projects” — where 90% of residents were black.

In a case with what would appear to be multiple smoking guns, Foster’s conviction and death sentence will go on trial Monday at the Supreme Court — and so, too, the process by which judges consider claims of racial discrimination in jury selection.

The case is important on two levels. If the justices find that Foster’s constitutional rights were violated and instruct that he be given a new trial, the ruling could impact the way prosecutors, defense attorneys and trial judges handle jury selection in the future. And because Foster received a death sentence, it could fuel concerns previously voiced by two justices that the death penalty itself may be unconstitutional — in this case because of racial bias.

In capital punishment cases,

“the racial diversity of the jury is everything,” says Stephen Bright, Foster’s lawyer at the Southern Center for Human Rights.

Since the high court upheld a controversial form of lethal injection four months ago, eight executions have gone forward in five states — Texas, Missouri, Georgia, Virginia and Florida — and two more are scheduled this year.

Dozens of others have been delayed, including all those previously scheduled in Arkansas, Ohio and Oklahoma because of continuing doubts about the method of execution.

Foster’s case raises another concern about the death penalty: racial discrimination in its application and in jury selection. Despite the Supreme Court’s 1986 ruling in Batson v. Kentucky that said prosecutors cannot have ju-

Another study in North Carolina in 2012 found blacks were twice as likely to be struck from juries by prosecutors. And in Houston County, Ala., from 2005-09, prosecutors removed 80% of blacks qualified for jury duty, producing juries with either one black or none at all.

Georgia officials accuse Foster’s lawyers of acting on “unfounded speculation.” Their Supreme Court brief argues that the prosecution’s notes are “perfectly consistent with conscientious, non-discriminatory prosecutors preparing to rebut a defense challenge to the array of the jury and a pretrial Batson challenge to any black prospective juror that may be peremptorily struck.”

Joshua Marquis, an Oregon prosecutor active with the National District Attorneys Association, says most prosecutors avoid jury strikes based on race, ethnicity and gender. Foster’s case, he

rors dismissed because of their race, civil rights groups contend the practice still exists today.

“I think the court is upset, and that’s why they keep taking these cases, because it does persist,” says Christina Swarns, director of litigation at the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. As a result, she says, “it undermines confidence in the outcomes that the jury actually produces.”

A new study by the anti-death penalty group Reprieve Australia showed that prosecutors in Caddo Parish, La., struck would-be jurors who were black three times as often as others. In 200 verdicts over a 10-year period ending in 2012, juries with fewer than three blacks did not acquit any defendants. When five or more blacks participated, the acquittal rate was 19%.

says, “is literally an artifact from a generation ago. The question is, does this reflect what’s going on today in America’s courtrooms? I really don’t think that it does.”

But E.G. “Gerry” Morris, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, says discrimination remains prevalent, particularly in the Deep South. “This case is certainly a blatant example of it,” he says. “The fact that this occurred in a death penalty case just underscores the seriousness of it.”

A brief submitted on Foster’s behalf by a group of prominent former prosecutors says discrimination “goes both ways.”

Their recommendation? “This court should send a clear message that blatant race discrimination will not be tolerated in jury selection.”

Groups recruit, train women for politics States in the South have low percentages of female lawmakers Deborah Barfield Berry @dberrygannett USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Tonya Bolden-Ball has heard for years that she should run for office.

But the 41-year-old mother of two from Lafayette, La., was always busy with family and her day job working for a group that combats infant mortality.

Lately, though, the call to public service has become more enticing.

“I just have to figure out when.

Not if, but when,” said BoldenBall, program director of the Family Tree Healthy Start Program. “I know I want to be in that arena where I’m making change to policy. If you can affect policy, you can transform communities.”

Bolden-Ball is among a growing number of women whom national and state groups are courting to run for a city council, a state legislature or some other office, even Congress.

The groups are recruiting Republicans and Democrats, training them to set up campaigns and raise money.

Much of the recruitment effort focuses on the South, where the percentage of women in state leg-

islatures is particularly low.

“It’s hard because the South still very much operates around the party structure and a lot of women are not part of the organization,” said Jennifer Duffy, senior editor at the Cook Political Report.

Bolden-Ball recently returned from a leadership training program at the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) at Rutgers University that focused on branding, public speaking and fundraising.

“We cannot allow fear to stop us from seeking those positions whether they’re elected or appointed,” she said. “We bring a lot to the table. We just have to learn how to make room at the table.”

Earlier this year, the non-partisan National Organization of Black Elected Legislative Women (N.O.B.E.L Women) launched its third training program to prepare more black women for leadership roles, including elected office.

The 20 fellows, including BoldenBall, work with mentors and attend training sessions.

“It’s all about exposure,” said Waikinya Clanton, the group’s executive director. “It’s also about making sure women know that they can run and that they have a support system in doing that.”

Earlier this month, 45 people attended the Blue Institute, a new week-long program in Atlanta that trains potential staffers for Democratic candidates in the South.

MIGRANT CRISIS IN EUROPE

GERMANY STRAINS UNDER WEIGHT OF HUGE INFLUX

With 1 million new settlers this year, refugee camps swell Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY BERLIN

N

early two months after German Chancellor Angela Merkel welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants, Germany’s legendary reputation for efficiency is being put to the test as it struggles to absorb as many as 1 million new settlers this year.

Europe’s wealthiest country is feeling the strains of processing, housing and schooling the huge influx of migrants streaming in from Syria, Iraq, Eritrea and other conflict zones.

In addition to building temporary shelters, the government has commandeered school gyms, vacant offices, shuttered army barracks, two hangars at an abandoned airfield and even an ex-Nazi labor camp to house the migrants. Some Germans have opened their homes to refugees, including Hilde Schramm, 79, the daughter of Adolf Hitler’s architect, Albert Speer.

“German infrastructure is under pressure, not because of the number of refugees that are coming here, but in terms of providing the accommodation they need in our municipalities,” said Michael Roth, Germany’s Minister of State for Europe. “Our local authorities are extremely burdened, and that’s the problem.

We need more time.”

The country has to build 400,000 new homes every year to accommodate the refugees, according to a study by the Pestel Institute, a research group based in Hanover.

Arguments have broken out among Germany’s 16 states and the federal government over allocating the migrants. States want to keep their numbers to the minimum required by law, and the result means overcrowded refugee camps.

In a shelter in the eastern city of Leipzig in late September, police had to quell a fight among several hundred asylum seekers, wielding broken furniture as weapons, over access to the bathroom.

Similar incidents have taken place across the country, increasing tensions with police.

“The police are at their limits,” Jörg Radek, deputy chief of Germany’s police union, told Deutsche Welle news service. He said officers were asked to register new arrivals and mediate disputes between people with different religious and ethnic backgrounds.

KIM HJELMGAARD FOR USA TODAY

Asylum seekers wait for their applications to be processed in Berlin on Oct. 22. tions of those who arrive here for economic reasons, instead of those seeking asylum from persecution or war. One proposal would use military planes to send back migrants.

Horst Seehofer, the governor of the state of Bavaria, and others are pushing for more stringent measures, although building a fence as Hungary did has been ruled out.

Thomas de Maizière, Germany’s interior minister, warned Wednesday that many Afghans from relatively safe areas of their country would be sent home.

“Large amounts of development aid have gone to Afghanistan — so we can expect that Afghans stay in their country,” de Maizière said. “So I am saying very clearly today that people who come to us as refugees from Afghanistan cannot all expect to be able to stay in Germany.”

“Our local authorities are extremely burdened, and that’s the problem. We need more time.”

Michael Roth, Germany’s Minister of State for Europe

Attacks on refugee shelters by far-right extremists also occur regularly, and the anti-immigrant group Pegida has stepped up its demonstrations. A few weeks ago, Cologne mayoral candidate Henriette Reker was stabbed while campaigning by an attacker prosecutors said was motivated by her pro-refugee positions. (She survived and won the election.)

This country of 80 million had said it could easily soak up the 1 million refugees expected this year. More than 577,000 migrants have arrived in Germany so far this year, with 163,772 new arrivals in September alone, according to the International Organization for Migration.

A few months ago, volunteers from Hamburg to Munich handed out diapers, toothpaste and friendly faces to arriving migrants. Polls show that sentiment still largely holds across Germany, but Merkel’s government acknowledges the country is overburdened.

The government says thousands of new teachers are needed to educate the hundreds of thousands of refugee children entering Germany’s school system this year. Volunteers are teaching basic German to many children so they can join regular classes.

The overload also prompted Germany to speed up deporta-

On a recent morning at Berlin’s main processing center for migrants there were still long lines.

Young men were wrapped in blankets to stave off the cold, but they were smiling and taking selfies.

Yet dozens still spend nights camped on frigid sidewalks. That includes Ashin Kamali, 31, who said he left Iran three months ago after the government tried to imprison him for converting to Christianity from Islam. “You would have to be crazy to leave your country for this, if you didn’t have to,” he said.

Kamali waited for more than 12 hours to collect a $112 payment from immigration officials.

The money is to last one month as he winds through the German bureaucratic process.

“The situation for migrants has improved in the sense that there is more initial order for those who have just arrived,” said Laszlo Hubert, who runs Moabit Helps, a volunteer aid organization. “But once they have been here for a little while, then it has not improved. They are stuck in camps, waiting.”

As Roth, the German minister, put it, “The refugees are here now, and we have to treat them in the best way we can. We can’t say to the refugees, ‘Please, wait, two or three months and then come.’ ”

Migrants get help through German online university College is aiding refugee students to get an education Mihret Yohannes and Jabeen Bhatti Special for USA TODAY

BERLIN Yusran Shamiah, a Syrian who fled to Turkey, wants to finish her studies in accounting so she can help rebuild her home country.

“I wanted to do corporate governance, to stop corruption,” Shamiah, 30, said. She had planned to finish her degree in Syria and work in Damascus — but that goal was derailed by Syria’s 4-year-old civil war.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring into Europe from the Middle East, Asia and Africa put their lives in jeopardy and their educations on hold to make the perilous journey in search of safer and more prosperous futures. Many like Shamiah lack the funds or English language skills to restart their education.

One initiative to help is an online German university that began in October for about 1,000 refugee students across the globe. Kiron University, a tuition-free school based in Berlin, is exclusively for refugees awaiting official asylum status to remain in their host countries.

“People have to wait for a year to have an interview to begin the asylum process, which means that in this time they can’t even do a language course,” said Kiron co-founder Markus Kressler, a graduate student who runs the online university with 80 other volunteers. “This is where we stepped in. We saw a potential solution.”

Kiron relies on existing “massive open online courses,” or MOOCs, and works with eight academics from Harvard and MIT to create a two-year course of study. This will provide many refugees with credits that can transfer to 35 traditional, brick-and-mortar universities across Europe that are partners with Kiron.

A German foundation currently finances Kiron’s two-year courses, costing $1,363 for each student. In the future, Kiron

“We have all seen our friends and classmates having their educational path derailed because of the war. The crisis has been going on a long time.”

graduates earning more than $33,300 a year can volunteer to repay 5% of their salary over five years.

About a quarter of Syrians between ages 18 and 24 were studying in universities before the civil war, according to David Wheeler of Al-Fanar Media, an online publication covering higher education in the Arab world.

“We have all seen our friends and classmates having their educational path derailed because of the war,” Shamiah said.

Less than 1% of refugees globally have access to higher education, according to the

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Of the estimated 60 million refugees globally, around half are under 18 — a record high — meaning many young people have little opportunity to train for future jobs.

Still, not everyone is convinced.

“Online learning in the Middle East is not well-developed.

So many refugees don’t have basic computer skills, while others might be able to use social media but they are used to a classic classroom structure,” explained Emma Bonar, education manager at the Norwegian Refugee Council who works with refugees in Jordan.

Kashif Kazmir, 21, a Kiron student who arrived in Germany in July after fleeing from Pakistan near the dangerous frontier with Afghanistan, said the school gave him a new start.

“Where I come from, it is under the total brutal rule of the Taliban,” Kazmir said. “They do not want us to be educated or civilized. They want us to be under the spell of terrorism, racism and sectarianism.”

Kazmir traveled through Iran and Turkey for 2½ months before reaching Europe. “Our journey was so tough. We faced a lot of horrors,” he said. “We still have injuries on our feet because we had to travel by foot.”

ABOARD THE NORWEGIAN ESCAPE

T

he last executive to oversee the Norwegian Cruise Line, Kevin Sheehan, often talked about pushing the brand from good to great. But it takes just a few minutes with the new boss, Frank Del Rio, to get the sense that the goal post has been moved even further. Perfection just might be the new mantra.

“I insist on spotless ships,” Del Rio says as one example when asked about what he’s changing at the line since taking over as CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings from Sheehan early this year. “So there’s a whole newfound appreciation for clean ships at Norwegian.”

Cuisine also is an area where Del Rio is setting a higher bar. He hints that he wasn’t entirely happy with what he found in the food department upon arrival. “I’ve never met anyone who said, ‘no, I like my food bad,’ ” he said during an exclusive interview aboard Norwegian’s new ship, the Norwegian Escape.

Already, the food on Norwegian ships is changing. Several of the signature Norwegian restaurants on Escape feature revamped menus, and there are new outlets that take cuisine to a higher level than what typically has been found at the line.

Del Rio, who previously oversaw upscale line Oceania Cruises and luxury operator Regent Seven Seas Cruises, took responsibility for mainstream brand Norwegian when he became CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, the parent company of all three cruise operators, in January.

He is at the helm during a time of growth for the cruise industry.

“They’ve never been doing better,” says Ivan Feinseth, a partner and chief investment officer at Tigress Financial Partners who focuses on travel.

Along with benefiting from cheaper fuel and an improving economy, cruising is also gaining in popularity.

“The all inclusive nature of a cruise represents the best value for your vacation dollar, and the cruise is the best way to do what is the biggest travel trend, a multigenerational vacation,” Feinseth says.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is set to report earnings on Tuesday. Its net income in the second quarter, ending June 30, was $158.5 million, compared to prior year of $111.6 million.

Cruise operators such as Norwegian and Royal Caribbean have been doing particularly well because of their addition of new vessels, says Feinseth.

Del Rio, a longtime cruise industry executive and founder of Oceania Cruises, is known among cruise industry executives for an almost obsessive focus on even the littlest things when building new ships.

Escape already was well along in construction when Del Rio took the top spot at the holding company, and many key decisions on the design already had been made. Even so, he says he was able to make some tweaks to the ship’s decor that he thinks improved the look.

“We didn’t change any steel,” he notes, referring to the sort of big changes in design that require already-underway public spaces to be reconfigured. “It was too late.

(But) the next vessels will have my finger prints all over them.”

Norwegian has three more ships on order, all of the same class as Escape.

Still, it’s not just Norwegian’s new ships that are getting Del Rio’s attention. He will also invest in improving older vessels over the next two years. Already, the line’s 5-year-old Norwegian Epic has emerged from a massive makeover, as has the 8-year-old Norwegian Gem. He’s implementing the same spend-money-to-make-money strategy that he used at Oceania and Regent over the years — one that is in contrast to the always-becutting-costs mantra at some lines.

Big overhauls of older ships at Oceania and Regent boosted demand and allowed for higher pricing.

“As long as you maintain your vessels to the highest possible standards (and) continually update them, there is no reason an older vessel can’t be as popular in the marketplace as a new one,” Del Rio says.

Regent’s oldest and smallest ship, the Seven Seas Navigator, is the line’s most profitable, he notes. Over 2016 and 2017, all but one of Norwegian’s 10 oldest vessels will undergo a major overhaul in dry dock, Del Rio says. He mentions figures such as $50 million in upgrades per ship, which is several times the amount that some of Norwegian’s competitors spend on overhauls.

“This is a capital intensive business,” he says. “If you’re going to stay in it for the long run, you have to be willing to commit capital, and not just to build new ships.”

Brutal weeks ahead for oil industry Big players slashing spending to staunch red ink Nick Cunningham Oilprice.com

Get ready for some bad news and red ink.

With the bulk of quarterly earnings reports in the energy industry yet to be announced, there are already $6.5 billion worth of asset write-downs, according to Bloomberg. And that could be just the tip of the iceberg. A Barclays’ assessment last week predicted $20 billion in impairment charges from just six companies.

Write-downs occur when the expected future cash flow from an asset falls sufficiently that a company has to report that the asset has lost some of its value. With oil prices half of what they were from mid-2014, oil and gas fields around the world are no longer worth what they used to be. Some oil fields that were previously expected to produce in the future may no longer even make sense to develop given current oil prices.

As a result, investors should expect billions of dollars in further

write-downs in the coming weeks.

Persistently low oil prices are putting a lot of pressure on the dividend policies of oil and gas producers. The Wall Street Journal reported that four oil majors — BP, Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron — have a combined cash flow deficit of $20 billion for the first half of 2015. In other words, these big players are not earning enough revenues to cover expenditures, share buybacks and dividends. With such a large cash flow deficit, something has to give. All four are focusing on slashing spending in order to preserve their promises to shareholders, with dividends especially seen as untouchable.

However, it could take several years to bring spending into alignment so that cash flows break even. The problem for these companies is that they were also cash-flow negative even when oil prices were above $100 per barrel in the years preceding the bust in 2014. Over the past decade, costs at all of these companies have all been heading in

Persistently low oil prices are putting a lot of pressure on the dividend policies of oil and gas producers.

the wrong direction — higher spending on new projects, dividend payouts and share buybacks have all driven costs dramatically higher. The Journal notes that Chevron’s dividend bill doubled since 2004, for example, and its capital spending increased by sixfold. Higher oil prices over that timeframe allowed for this cost inflation, but the oil majors were still cash-flow negative. Now that oil prices have crashed, the deficit has ballooned, forcing painful cuts to payroll and spending for new oil projects.

While erasing the cash-flow deficit will make sense in the short run, the oil majors have a tricky balancing act on where to cut. Cutting spending on finding and developing new sources of oil will lead to lower production in the years ahead. Preserving dividends only to sacrifice oil production could keep share prices aloft for now but will raise red flags for the companies over the long run.

How to navigate Medicare open enrollment season

A

pril might be the cruelest month, but Oct. 15 through Dec. 7 have to be the cruelest days of the year. That’s when Uncle Sam asks millions of Medicare beneficiaries to review and change, if need be, their Medicare health plans and prescription drug coverage for the following year.

Robert Powell

Special to USA TODAY

Here’s what you need to know to survive this year’s season.

DID YOU READ YOUR ANOC?

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the government agency responsible for Medicare, recommends the following: People in a Medicare health or prescription drug plan should always review the materials their plans send them, such as the “Evidence of Coverage” (EOC) and “Annual Notice of Change” (ANOC).

What’s an ANOC? “Your ANOC letter will explain any changes being made to your current plan for the upcoming plan year,” says Stephen Stellhorn, president of MSM Capital Management in Tampa and author of Navigating the Maze of Medicare.

“For example, deductibles and/or co-insurance amounts may be increasing, drugs may be changing formulary tiers or benefits may be

KNOW WHERE TO TURN As you evaluate your Medicare health and drug plan options, consider the following resources: uThe Medicare Rights Center at www.medicarerights.org uMedicare Interactive at MedicareInteractive.org uThe Kaiser Family Foundation at kff.org uThe Center for Medicare Advocacy at www.medicareadvocacy.org uAlso, call or visit the website of your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) at medicare.gov/contacts/#resources/ships.

dropped. If there is no change or the changes are modest, and you’re satisfied with the plan you have, there is nothing else you need to do. Any changes will take effect on Jan. 1, 2016.”

Others agree. “If you are in a Medicare Advantage plan and are happy with it, you don’t have to do anything,” says Kip Piper, president of Health Results Group in Washington, D.C. “Same if you are in a traditional Medicare plan and receive your drug benefit from a separate prescription drug plan — if you are happy with it, you may remain.”

Medicare Advantage plan providers can and do make changes to their plans each year, Stellhorn says. “New plans are introduced while some plans are dropped.”

But even if you’re happy with your current plan, it might be wise to comparison shop.

ANY NETWORK PROVIDER CHANGES?

Is your network provider of physicians, hospitals or ambulatory centers changing? If so, find out whether the physicians, hospitals and medical service providers you use will continue to participate in the plan you have, Stellhorn says.

“If not, you may want to consider changing plans just for this reason,” he says. “You don’t want any surprises after Jan. 1, 2016.”

HAS YOUR HEALTH CHANGED FROM THE PRIOR PLAN YEAR?

Are you using medical services in 2015 that you didn’t use in 2014 and your condition warrants that you continuing using them in 2016? If so, Stellhorn says you might be able to find a plan with lower deductibles than what your current plan offers.

ARE YOU PLANNING ANY ELECTIVE SURGERIES IN 2016?

“Many plans have co-insurance amounts, which is a percentage of the total cost for outpatient procedures,” Stellhorn says. “Deductibles are a fixed amount. You may be able to find a plan with a deductible. Deductibles are usually a lesser out-of-pocket amount than co-insurance payments.”

TAKING ANY NEW DRUGS?

Formularies change each year and drugs within them can change tier levels, Stellhorn says.

“A prescription drug in one plan provider’s formulary may be in a lower tier in another provider’s formulary plan,” he says. “You could save yourself hundreds of dollars by switching plans.”

ARE YOU PLANNING EXTENDED TRAVEL IN 2016?

Many Medicare Advantage plans have travel benefits allowing you to use services at in-network costs as opposed to having no coverage or paying out-of-net-

It’s possible you’ve never been a victim of circumstance to this degree. But you undoubtedly know someone who has been. The temptation is always to try and place blame on these people, yet that game is pointless. I’m a strong proponent of personal responsibility, but these conundrums go well beyond doing something wrong. For instance, if your health insurance provider doesn’t cover expensive, yet vital, procedures, then your financial life may be ruined.

I spoke to one such victim of circumstance on my podcast last week. In the middle of our conversation, I think I may have figured out one of the keys to being able to make lemonade from a batch of poison lemons. Before we get to a partial solution though, we must try and identify what victims of circumstance often have in common.

Most of the people in these situations find themselves in a dark

work costs, Stellhorn says. “Check with your plan provider to see if they have travel benefits and in what states and counties they are covered in,” he says.

CAN YOU CONDUCT YOUR OWN PLAN REVIEW?

Katy Votava, president of Goodcare.com in Rochester, N.Y., says it’s more important than ever for people to get back to basics with Medicare and comparison shop.

“Major studies show that 90 to 95% of people in Medicare overspend, particularly on medications, by not selecting the plan that gives them the best coverage,” she says. “Right now everyone with Medicare drug coverage can comparison shop to make sure that they are getting the best coverage at the best price.”

What are some good ways to do that? Use the Medicare.gov website. You can enter medications and it will show you the various plans and pricing available, Votava says. You can also call Medicare at 800-633-4227 24 hours/day, seven days a week and talk with a Medicare customer service representative who will take a list of the medications and do the research for you for free.

Stellhorn also suggests contacting the various plan providers directly to compare their plans and using an independent agent who may represent several different plan providers.

“If both spouses are enrolled in plans, depending on their health, they may find it makes economic sense for each of them to use plans from different insurance carriers,” Stellhorn says.

PLAN ON SWITCHING?

Before you switch plans, make sure all physicians, hospitals and ambulatory centers used and all prescription drugs taken will be covered by the new plan, Stellhorn says. “Double-check everything in the Summary of Benefits (SOB) and EOC documents. It could save you lots of aggravation later in 2016.”

ARE YOU STARGAZING?

“When comparing Medicare Advantage plans and stand-alone Part D drug plans, consider their star ratings,” Piper says. “Each plan has a star rating. The more stars the better. It’s an imperfect, incomplete, general measure of health plans and drug plans, but it may be useful.”

Of note, in 2015, 61% of Medicare Advantage plans are rated from four to five stars in Medicare’s Star Quality Rating, according to a Medicare Rights Center report. This is up from 52% in 2014 and 37% in 2013.

Royals one win from crown New York (ap) — The Kansas City Royals keep finding new ways to win this October. And now with one more victory in November, they will be World Series champions.

Second baseman Daniel Murphy’s error on Eric Hosmer’s grounder in the eighth inning keyed yet another comeback for the tenacious Royals, and Kansas City startled the New York Mets 5-3 Saturday night to take

3-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.

Edinson Volquez returned Saturday from his father’s funeral in the Dominican Republic and can pitch the Royals to their first crown in 30 years. He faces Matt Harvey in a rematch of Game 1, when Volquez went six innings just hours after his dad died.

“What they did tonight, is what they’ve been doing the whole playoffs,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“It’s a group of guys that have the utmost confidence in themselves. I don’t think at any point these guys thought that they were going to lose tonight,” he said.

Seemingly spooked by the raucous New York crowd early on Halloween, the Royals rallied for the seventh time in 10 postseason victories this year, this one from a 3-2 deficit.

Rookie Michael Conforto homered twice as the

Mets built their lead, helped when right fielder Alex Rios lost track of the outs on a sacrifice fly.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SOPHOMORE AINISE HAVILI, CENTER, DIVES as she and teammate Kelsie Payne, right, go after the ball during KU’s 3-0 victory over Baylor on Saturday at Horejsi Center.

Kansas University’s volleyball team disposed of Iowa State in four sets on Wednesday in Ames, then picked up some food at famed Hickory Park Restaurant to devour on the fourhour bus ride home.

The Jayhawks (21-1, 9-1)— who that evening moved into a tie for first place in the Big 12 with Texas (19-2, 9-1) thanks in part to TCU’s shocking victory over the

Longhorns — pulled into Lawrence in the earlymorning hours about to face a busy stretch that culminated with Saturday morning’s 3-0 rout of Baylor.

“The thing I was most proud of ... obviously, we got a good result Wednesday at Iowa State. We got back at 1 in the morning, but on Thursday these guys were ready to practice. We got better Thursday and Friday.

I thought that showed today, how we responded on a pretty quick turnaround

— to show up at 11:30 this morning and really play well,” coach Ray Bechard said after KU’s 25-15, 25-9, 25-16 bruising of the Bears.

The ISU match was No. 10-ranked KU’s first since a 3-0 loss to Texas in Austin.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS RUNNING BACK CHARCANDRICK WEST (35) jokes with running back Knile Davis, right, as they take part in a practice session Friday at Allianz Park rugby stadium in London. The Chiefs will play the Lions today at London’s Wembley Stadium.

This is Chiefs’ first game there. ... Lions fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and line coaches Jeremiah Washburn and Terry Heffernan on Monday. QB coach Jim Bob Cooter is serving as offensive coordinator, TEs coach Ron Prince is handling offensive line and assistant special teams coach Devin Fitzsimmons is working with TEs.

the Chiefs (2-5) have played abroad.

“We look forward to going over there and seeing what it’s all about,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I don’t know what it’s all about, but (fans) are showing up, they’re enjoying it. It’s not new. Teams have been going over there for a few years now.”

The Lions headed over after last week’s loss to the Vikings, but the Chiefs — who snapped a five-game skid with a win over Pittsburgh — waited until Thursday night to depart.

Reid said he looked at the history of teams playing in London and found that teams

don’t fare any better or worse depending on when they arrive. So, Reid decided to keep things as normal as he could, which meant a regular week of work most of the week at the Chiefs’ training facility.

Keeping this nice and calm?

Sounds as if Reid is trying to make the Lions jealous.

“You really can’t change a lot,” Detroit tight end Eric Ebron said of the upheaval within the coaching staff. “You can just take what we’ve been doing great and make it better. If you put your own taste to it, that’s what you do, but right now, we’re just going to execute better.”

Here are some other things to watch going into today’s game: Other changes: The Lions also fired offensive line coaches Jeremiah Washburn and Terry Heffernan on Monday.

Tight ends coach Ron Prince is now handling the offensive line and assistant special teams coach Devin Fitzsimmons is working with the tight ends.

“When you’re not winning, things like that happen,” Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson said, “but at the same time, we’re moving on. He’s getting us well-prepared so far and we’re getting ready for Kansas City.”

Setting records: Stafford is expected to make his 85th regular-season start for the Lions, passing Greg Landry for the most by a quarterback in franchise history.

Maclin’s return: The Chiefs will have wide receiver Jeremy Maclin back after missing last week’s game because of a concussion. Maclin passed the league’s protocol late last week, but the Chiefs’ training staff decided to hold him out as a precaution.

Ohio State suspends QB following OUI Columbus, Ohio — Just when it seemed that Ohio State’s quarterback situation was settled, J.T. Barrett has been suspended for the top-ranked Buckeyes’ next game after being cited with a misdemeanor offense of operating a vehicle under the influence.

Ohio State said in a statement Barrett was stopped at a Columbus police check point early Saturday morning.

The Buckeyes (8-0) were off this weekend and play at home against Minnesota next Saturday. The school’s drug and alcohol policy would have required a two-game suspension for the 20-year-old Barrett if he had been charged with a felony. The misdemeanor charge gives coach Urban Meyer the discretion to pass down the punishment.

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The previous time Jim Caldwell was part of a midseason swap that made the quarterbacks coach the new offensive coordinator, it resulted in a Super Bowl trip for the Baltimore Ravens.

Caldwell is hoping for a similar run of good fortune for his Detroit Lions.

And with good reason: That quarterbacks coach was him.

“Yeah, you know, I think you had a group of guys that decided to play better than they had been playing,” said Caldwell, who took over for Cam Cameron in Baltimore in 2012, and helped the Ravens to a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

That change was made in December. Caldwell’s shakeup in Detroit earlier this week comes seven games into the season, and just before heading to London for today’s game against Kansas City.

Out as offensive coordinator is Joe Lombardi, who couldn’t seem to get the Lions (1-6) on track all season. In is Jim Bob Cooter, who never has called plays in the NFL. “There’s going to be some tweaks. Obviously, he’s his own play caller, he’s his own person. What that looks like on Sunday, you’ll see,” Lions quarterback Matt Stafford said.

“It won’t be earth-shattering stuff I wouldn’t think given the one week of preparation we’ve had. So we’re just going out there and trying to execute whatever he calls to the best of our ability.”

With so much upheaval, at least the Lions won’t be experiencing an NFL game in London for the first time. They went there just last year, beating Atlanta, 22-21, at Wembley Stadium.

Rob Manfred has read the law, and delivered his verdict.

The commissioner of baseball says online daily fantasy play is a game of skill, not chance. He declared it legal this week, even though a few states explicitly ban it as gambling and others may move to do the same.

No great shock there, since Major League Baseball has a stake in DraftKings, the biggest player in the daily fantasy industry. There’s money to be made in the industry, and Manfred signaled on the eve of the World Series that baseball will go after its share.

“I’m quite convinced it is a game of skill, as defined by the federal statute,” Manfred said.

“And I’m comfortable with the idea that it’s not gaming.”

No matter that the former congressman who authored the 2006 federal law Manfred is referring to says daily fantasy is indeed gambling. Former Rep. Jim Leach told The Associated Press earlier this month that the intent of the law was to stop online gambling, not turn it into “today’s cauldron of daily betting.”

That, though, is precisely what daily fantasy has become, on a scale rivaling the best sports books in Las Vegas. It lures players in with promises of big payouts, but to the average player that is mostly a fantasy by itself.

Those incessant ads you see on TV air for a reason. The playing field is so tilted against the small players that new customers must constantly be found to replace those who reach their credit card limits or just tire of constantly losing their money.

Add in the threat of insider trading, no outside regulation and no guarantee that anyone’s money is safe and it’s the kind of potential cesspool the major sports would be wise to think twice about before jumping in.

But jump baseball has, and the sport is not alone. The NBA has a piece of FanDuel, the NHL has an investment in DraftKings, and some NFL teams have their own deals with the two major sites.

Indeed, it’s hard to watch a game or go to a game and not be reminded in some way about the cozy relationships between the major sports and the fantasy sites. The tie-ins haven’t just bolstered the bank accounts of FanDuel and DraftKings, but given them some powerful friends when it comes to the debate over the legality of their contests.

Make no mistake, that debate isn’t over. Earlier this month, Nevada became the latest state to ban unlicensed daily fantasy play, and other states are taking second looks at their laws in the wake of the explosion of betting. The NCAA says it won’t allow FanDuel and DraftKings to advertise during NCAA tournaments and has asked them to stop using college players in their games.

The insider trading scandal that erupted earlier this month has put a spotlight on an industry not understood by most. There could be some rough times ahead for the sites as states begin making their own decisions on their legality, and there’s no guarantee the daily fantasy industry will come through it all intact.

For now, though, DraftKings and FanDuel can find comfort that MLB and the other leagues have their back.

FSHS girls place second at state after tiebreaker

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

After running in the Class 6A state meet on Saturday, Free State High girls cross country runners sat in the team’s tent off to the side of the Rim Rock Farm course. Some were in tears, consoled by their teammates and family members.

The Firebirds were proud of what they accomplished, but it was a little painful to know how close they were to a state championship.

Free State tied for first place with Manhattan, both schools scoring 72 points. But the Firebirds lost the tiebreaker, falling back into second place. It was the second straight year Free State finished second.

Shawnee Mission North took third, one point behind Free State and Manhattan. The tiebreaker is determined by comparing where each school’s sixth runner finishes after tallying up the score for the top five runners, which was a difference of nine spots Saturday.

FSHS junior Emily Venters led the Firebirds by taking third place, and junior Kiran Cordes was seventh.

“It’s really hard to lose on that,” Venters said. “At the beginning of the year, I had no idea that we were even going to have a team to make state. I was like, ‘Well, it might end up being just a couple of individuals going.’ But then, we had this team of freshmen and sophomores. To just get second and barely miss first is awesome.”

Venters, a two-time state champion, was neck-and-neck with Shawnee Mission Northwest sophomore Molly Born, along with two other runners, more than a mile into the race. But Born found another gear in the final mile and won by more than 30 seconds, finishing in 17:58.6. Olathe East’s Kayla Davis finished runner-up.

For Venters, it was a “disappointing” race be-

“There was a certain point in the back loop that I just felt dead,” said Venters, who finished in 18:38.8. “Like, I couldn’t do it anymore. Then I heard my coach, ‘Come on Emily, this is for the team.’ I was like, ‘Oh, gosh dang it.

I have to push through.’ It was like two miles to go, and it hurt so bad.”

Cordes, who was sixth

at state last year, helped the Firebirds’ team score by passing a few runners in the final stretch.

“That was really motivating,” Cordes said.

“Throughout the race, I just felt like I could stay with a group and then try passing them halfway through.”

Free State freshman Julia Larkin was a state medalist, placing 13th, while freshman Sarah Walpole took 29th, freshman Emma Hertig was 33rd, junior Abigail Zenger was 44th and sophomore Alvena Walpole took 48th.

All five of them didn’t have much — if any — cross country experience before the season.

Lawrence High freshman Morgan Jones, who was the school’s lone state qualifier, took 45th in 20:41.5.

Free State’s boys cross country team finished sixth at state, led by senior Ethan Donley in third place.

Donley did his best to keep up with Manhattan’s Jackson Schroeder, who finished runner-up, after racing against him last week in regionals.

SM North senior Belesti Akalu won the race in 15:43.

“I had a little bit of an idea of what he was going

to do,” Donley said. “I had a feeling that it was going to be kind of similar to last week. I kind of raced him like that last week, so I figured, ‘Just stay with him the whole race.’ He kind of pulled me along.”

Free State senior Tanner Hockenbury took 16th place, while sophomore Avant Edwards was 28th, and sophomore Jared Hicks took 45th.

“It wasn’t the best,” Hockenbury said. “It wasn’t exactly how I wanted to end my season. I’ve been battling shin splints for the past two or three weeks.

Overall, it is what it is. I fought hard.”

Donley and Hockenbury were the only returners to the varsity lineup at the beginning of the season, and they were thrilled to see their younger teammates run well throughout the year.

“To have those guys step up and help us get all the way up to sixth place is a great starting point for the kids who come back next year,” FSHS coach Steve Heffernan said. “And it’s a really nice way to finish for the seniors. I know coming back into the season, their expectations for a team finish weren’t that high.”

Self hosts coaches at annual clinic

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Sean Pearson, who played small forward at Kansas University from 1993 to ’96, returned to campus Friday and Saturday to watch a pair of practices and listen to a plethora of speakers at Bill Self’s coaches clinic.

The 6-foot-5 native of LaGrange, Illinois, is a head coach himself — at Lincoln College Prep Academy in Kansas City, Missouri — while also running Pearson Basketball Basics for youths.

“It was awesome,” Pearson said of the KU clinic. “I loved it. I learned a lot. I liked the intensity with the players (at practice).”

Pearson studied both KU’s players and coaches alike at practice.

“The big thing I picked up is make sure to stay on them (players) and not praise them for things they know they should do and (also) build them up to get better,” Pear-

son said. “How to be patient with your players, but stay on them. Don’t always praise them just for being here. Make sure they earn it.”

Pearson — he played on three Big Eight champion and one Final Four team at KU — said he enjoys working with high school athletes.

“It’s different,” he said of coaching compared to playing. “The big thing I have to remember is I can’t get out there and play for them. I’ve just got to tell ’em and try to teach them what they need to know.”

Pearson was asked to assess the 2015-16 Jayhawks after watching the squad practice a total of five hours.

“They are going to be a lot better than a lot of people expect them to be, which is a good thing,” Pearson said.

KU coach Self said he enjoyed working with Pearson at his camp.

Pearson’s head coach at KU was Roy Williams,

who is now at North Carolina.

“It’s great to see explayers such as Sean come back and always great to be with guys affiliated with the program,” said Self. “Our overall numbers weren’t great, 130 or something like that, but it was a good number for us to hold this in our practice gym (where acoustics are better than fieldhouse). It was a great clinic. Fran (Fraschilla, ESPN) came in and did a great job (speaking to coaches), and our assistants did a great job.”

a bunch of experienced guys, and it’s getting old (for them). They are ready to start playing.” l

Cheick working hard: Self told the coaches that freshman forward Cheick Diallo makes 700 baskets a day on KU’s shooting machine on the Jayhawks’ off days.

“Cheick works his butt off. He works hard,” Self said of the Mali native whose academic-eligibility credentials continue to be examined by the NCAA Eligibility Center. “Everything is new l to him. He’s doing well.

BRIEFLY Three KU runners Backup QB leads earn All-Big 12 Baker to victory Stillwater, Okla. — Top-15 finishes from seniors Jacob Morgan and Evan Landes as well as freshman Sharon Lokedi highlighted the Kansas University cross country teams’ performance at the Big 12 Championships.

Lokedi’s 11th-place finish led the women’s squad to a fourth-place finish, the highest at a Big 12 meet in program history, while Morgan’s fifth-place finish helped his squad to a fifth-place finish in the team standings.

Lokedi finished first among all freshman.

Sophomore Lydia Saggau finished 17th in 21:30.2, just two spots away from claiming All-Big 12 honors.

Morgan, who duplicated his fifth-place finish at last season’s meet, joined a group of five runners who separated themselves from the rest of the field over the first half of the race.

The Topeka native crossed the line in 24:21.2. Morgan’s performance made him the fourth Jayhawk since 1970 to finish among the top five at a conference meet in back-to-back seasons and added another All-Big 12 selection to his résumé.

Landes also turned in an all-league effort with a top-15 performance. The Mulvane product posted a 24:59.8 to finish 15th, which tied his career-best finish at a conference meet. Coming in after Landes was sophomore Chris Melgares, who earned his first top-25 league finish, coming in 25th at 25:23.6.

Baldwin City — Sophomore backup quarterback Logan Brettell completed 36 of 43 passes for 348 yards and threw for three touchdowns and two interceptions to lead Baker University’s football team to a 40-21 victory over Central Methodist on Saturday.

Brettell completed 24 of his first 25 attempts after he entered the game when Nick Marra injured his knee early in the first quarter.

Baldwin High product Cornell Brown hauled in nine receptions for 164 yards and two TDs for BU. The Wildcats (8-1 overall, 3-0 in the south division of the Heart of America Athletic Conference) will play at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Missouri Valley.

digs and three assists Saturday before the usual sellout crowd in Horejsi Center.

“Even though we were tired, we did our job in practice and got better,” noted sophomore Madison Ridgon, who had 10 kills and six digs on a day Kelsie Payne, Tiana Dockery, Tayler Soucie, Janae Hall, Ashlyn Driscoll and Ainise Havili had 11, 8, 7, 6, 4 and 3 kills respectively. Havili had 39 assists vs.

Baylor (14-9, 2-7).

Sleep deprived or not, the Jayhawks head into the final portion of the Big 12 slate awfully enthused about remaining in the hunt for a Big 12 title.

“Wednesday was a huge night for us,” Bechard said, “from the standpoint we fought hard to beat a good team on the road (3-1 vs. ISU), and obviously if you look at the standings, it was a favorable result for us.

I think that kind of reenergized us. They (Jayhawks) weren’t sure anybody else was going to be able to get Texas. TCU played a great match.

There’s still a lot of volleyball ahead of us, but

we’re kind of back in control of our own destiny to some degree.”

KU travels to Oklahoma on Saturday, then plays host to Texas on Nov. 11 and TCU on Nov. 14.

“We’ve got to take it one step at a time. Oklahoma (8-13, 2-7) comes first,” Church said. “I think we definitely got a break with TCU beating Texas, and it’s giving us a good chance to go out and take the lead. That’s what we’re aiming for.”

“Exciting ... it’s interesting,” Rigdon chimed in, when asked about the Big 12 race. “Texas will be incredibly exciting. Oklahoma will, too.”

Church, by the way, is in a unique position this season, having transferred from St. Louis U. to KU for her final season of eligibility.

“I’ve learned a lot about this team,” she said, noting, “I’m very lucky to be here. It’s really about everybody on the team, not just about the individuals.

It’s really a team effort, which I saw from Day One when I got here in January. It was amazing to see ... the work ethic and effort everybody puts in every day is amazing.”

Even after long bus rides and short nights after road matches like Wednesday.

2-MINUTE DRILL Oklahoma 62 Kansas 7 BRIEFLY Really, here’s all you need to know about Kansas University’s homecoming wipeout: Oklahoma punted precisely zero times. … If not for a missed field goal on the first possession, fumbles on the fifth and 12th Sooners possessions and the final buzzer, this one REALLY might have gotten out of hand. …

Kansas, meanwhile, failed to get even a first down on six of 14 possessions, had only five drives of 20 yards or more and punted nine times.

OU’s Stoops sympathizes

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Throw Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops into the circle of football minds who believe in and sympathize with first-year Kansas University football coach David Beaty.

Stoops, speaking after his 14th-ranked Sooners steamrolled Beaty’s Jayhawks 62-7 at Memorial Stadium, had nothing but good things to say about KU’s fourth head coach since the start of the 2010 season.

“First, I just want to say I think the world (of) coach Beaty,” Stoops began. “He’s doing all the right things here. It takes time. He came

into a tough situation, but, again, I know their guys over there and some of their coaches. They will stay positive and continue to work with these guys.”

One year after watching freshman running back Samaje Perine light up a Kansas defense for an NCAA-record 427 rushing yards, Stoops witnessed another one of his guys turn in a memorable day.

Transfer quarterback Baker Mayfield, who beat out returning starter Trevor Knight for the starting nod, finished with 383 yards on 27-of-32 passing in just over two quarters. Mayfield, a junior who sat out the 2014 season after transferring

from Texas Tech, showcased the total package in rolling the Jayhawks (0-8 overall, 0-5 Big 12).

“I thought Baker Mayfield again (did a great job with) decision-making, handing the ball off, throwing quick options,” Stoops said. “He is really doing a great job with all of that. I thought the execution was excellent.”

Beaty said he thought the predictable nature of Kansas paying a little extra attention to Perine this season might have aided the Sooners’ passing attack.

OU senior Sterling Shepard agreed. “(We) did a great job running the ball,” said Shepard,

who finished with 183 yards on 11 catches as his team improved to 7-1 and 4-1. “So you have no choice but to load the box because you have to stop Perine and Joe Mixon. It definitely helps us wideouts a lot, and we have to continue to win one-on-one battles and make competitive catches. I feel like the guys did a great job of that today.

“I feel like we are putting things together. Things are starting to gel, and we are just continuing to build each and every week. During practice, guys are focused, and that’s the main thing I see out of this group of guys.

That is something we have to continue to do.”

KANSAS LEADERS Rushing: Taylor Cox 10-30.

Passing: Ryan Willis 20-for-34 for 181 yards, TD. Receiving: Tyler Patrick 5-46, TD; De’Andre Mann 11-28.

HOW THEY SCORED

Kansas

KANSAS DEFENSIVE END DORANCE ARMSTRONG JR. (46) HELPS BRING DOWN Oklahoma wide receiver Durron Neal (5) during the second quarter. time in four games, wasted no time racking up the yards. On the first play from scrimmage, he hit Shepard with a 41-yard completion that served as a warning of sorts for what was ahead.

One year after Oklahoma freshman Samaje Perine lit up a much better Kansas defense for an NCAA-record 427 rushing yards in an OU win in Norman, Oklahoma, the Sooners aired it out on the opening play Saturday and rarely stopped throwing.

“We’ve been struggling a little bit out there on the corner with some of those deep balls,” Beaty said. “I think they may have saw that as a way to get a quick start. Obviously, that paid off for them.”

Don’t worry. Perine still did enough damage to get noticed. The bruising sophomore finished with 90 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries and, believe it or not, was hit more often and much harder than at any point during last year’s historic day.

Not that it mattered. When Kansas wasn’t giving up huge chunks to Mayfield or predictable gains for Perine, redshirt freshman Joe Mixon, who actually was the more highly touted recruit of OU’s dangerous backfield duo, was gashing the Kansas defense. And even third-string tailback Alex Ross (103 yards on 14 carries) put up an eyepopping total.

This one got so bad the

Sooners inserted their backup kicker and third-string quarterback to finish off the Jayhawks, who fell to 0-8 overall and 0-5 in Big 12 play.

“We’ve gotta get better all around,” Beaty said. “Defensively, there’s a lot of whatif-type deals. Offensively, we just didn’t perform as well as the man over us.

Maybe we just got overpowered at times.”

So where do the Jayhawks go from here?

Recent history would indicate more of the same lies ahead in the final third of Beaty’s first season, but after suffering rough losses to top-15 teams during three of the past four weeks, the Jayhawks catch a small break by playing three unranked opponents in the final four weeks of the season.

Those three teams — Texas, West Virginia and Kansas State — combined to enter Saturday three games below .500. The one team in KU’s final foursome that is ranked is No. 5 TCU, which sits at 8-0 and smack dab in the middle of the push for a spot in this year’s College Football Playoff.

“It’s not really a relief,” Smithson said of KU’s three unranked foes that await, “because we’ve still got four more Big 12 opponents to play, and we haven’t really been playing lights-out on defense. But you can see improvement, and you can see us matching up against them.”

First Quarter 9:48 — Joe Mixon 68 pass from Baker Mayfield. Austin Seibert kick. After the Sooners’ first drive stalled when a fieldgoal attempt hit the right crossbar, OU did not mess around on Drive No. 2.

Mayfield kept it for 15 yards on first down and then hit a wide-open Mixon over the middle and behind the defense on the second play for the TD. (OU 7, KU 0).

5:32 — Durron Neal 11 pass from Mayfield. Seibert kick. OU picked up its third play of 35 yards or more early, when tailback Samaje Perine rumbled 36 yards to set up the TD. Mayfield also hit tight end Mark Andrews with a 14-yard gain on third-and-nine to keep the seven-play, 61-yard drive alive. OU’s second score took 2:40. (OU 14, KU 0).

1:51 — Sterling Shepard 4 pass from Mayfield. Seibert kick. After OU forced another Kansas three-and-out, Mayfield tossed his third touchdown of the day to a third wide receiver. The toss to the back of the end zone capped a seven-play, 70-yard drive that took 2:46. (OU 21, KU 0).

Second Quarter 14:54 — Tyler Patrick 17 pass from Ryan Willis. Nick Bartolotta kick. After another stalled KU drive was kept alive by a muffed punt by OU, Willis hit Patrick on the first play of the second quarter on a pass that was nearly intercepted but sailed over the head of Dakota Austin, who jumped the route but saw it go for a TD behind him. KU’s first scoring drive spanned six plays, 29 yards and 1:12. (OU 21, KU 7).

9:00 — Samaje Perine 3 run. Seibert kick. OU’s longest scoring drive of the day featured a fourth-down conversion from Mayfield to Dede Westbrook and the Sooners converting a second-and-32 situation for a first down. The drive covered 75 yards in 14 plays and 5:54. (OU 28, KU 7).

2:34 — Austin Seibert 46 field goal. He missed his first field-goal try of the day by banging it off the right crossbar, but the OU freshman left no doubt about this one, drilling it down the middle with plenty of distance to spare. The kick capped an eight-play, 68-yard drive that took 3:01.

(OU 31, KU 7).

0:22 — Perine 1 run. Seibert kick.

Oklahoma’s final scoring drive of the first half took just 54 seconds and was capped by an easy touchdown run by Perine.

Mayfield hit Shepard for two passes to set up the score, and a 15-yard face-mask penalty by Bazie Bates IV helped OU move quickly into KU territory. (OU 38, KU 7).

Third Quarter 9:46 — Sam Grant 1 pass from Mayfield.

Seibert kick. The Oklahoma offensive train kept rolling on the Sooners’ first possession of the second half, with an eight-play, 67-yard scoring drive that took 2:58. Mixon’s big catch and run took the ball to the one=inch line and, two plays later, Mayfield fired his fourth TD pass of the day. (OU 45, KU 7).

8:19 — Trevor Knight 1 run. Seibert kick.

A De’Andre Mann fumble set up a fourplay, 19-yard OU scoring drive orchestrated by back-up quarterback Trevor Knight, who punched it in on a QB sneak to add to OU’s lead. (OU 52, KU 7).

2:03 — Nick Hodgson 32 field goal.

Oklahoma added to its lead with a short field goal from its second-string place kicker, who capped a nine-play, 37-yard drive that spanned 3:00. (OU 55, KU 7).

Fourth Quarter 5:32 — Connor Knight 17 pass from Trevor Knight. Hodgson kick. With second- and third-stringers taking most of the snaps, the Sooners added an excuseme touchdown late on a nice throw and catch by the Knight duo. The drive covered 49 yards in seven plays and 3:19.

OKLAHOMA WIDE RECEIVER STERLING SHEPARD (3) GETS UP FOR A TOUCHDOWN CATCH over Kansas University safety Tevin Shaw (30) during the first quarter of the Sooners’ 62-7 victory over the Jayhawks on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Most of those wearing blue found more relevant things to do than watch their school take another Big 12 beating at a time they can’t compete because the program had been so badly mismanaged for so many years leading up to Sheahon Zenger with his last shot at getting it right turning to Texas A&M assistant coach David Beaty and signing him to a fiveyear contract that pays him an annual salary of $800,000.

Homecoming is an event intended to draw alumni back to school for a football game they can enjoy together. To have it on Halloween, when parents help their children with their costumes and then pass out candy to other people’s children, meant a big chunk of potential customers would not make the trip to Lawrence this year.

A 2:30 p.m. game time made it possible for those who live nearby to attend, although not without inconvenience and certainly not to stay for four quarters. Not with the Kansas City Royals getting loose for Game Four of the World Series.

Maybe it was just as well, although that doesn’t excuse such bizarre homecoming scheduling. No Kansas alumni would have seen much of anything that would make them want to come back to a game anytime soon.

The numbers only hinted at the dominance because Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, as was the case with Baylor’s Art Briles and Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy, does not get a kick out of making a peer in an impossible situation feel worse

than he already does by running the score higher than a Woodstock music festival crowd. Mercy still has its place in college football, even among those chasing a spot in the coveted four-school playoff.

Still, on a day in which injuries meant Kansas started two true freshmen and a red-shirt freshman on the offensive line, Saturday’s numbers bordered on graffiti. Oklahoma amassed 710 total yards, including 445 through the air. Kansas rushed 36 times for 35 yards.

Oklahoma never punted, compared to nine times for Kansas.

No road humiliation can quite match one that takes place in front of a home crowd, and this season’s remaining two visitors to Memorial Stadium, West Virginia and especially injuryweakened Kansas State, don’t have quite the rosters to do to Kansas what Oklahoma did Saturday.

The low point arrived when Matthew Wyman was sent back on the field for KU’s ninth punt on third-and-11 from the Oklahoma 44.

Every recovery from the depths must start somewhere, a moment when a foot finds the first rung of a seemingly endless ladder to daylight. Kansas specialteams player Beau Bell, a senior who played football for Bishop Carroll High in Wichita and then for one season at Hutchinson County Community College, made a play. He hustled down the field and put the right touch on the punted ball to make it land at the one, a perfect play for such an imperfect football team winding up such a long, long day.

NOTEBOOK

Beaty disappointed in Air Raid’s woes “He just goes and does his job,” Beaty said. “He is a super kid. He had a mistake today, and he came off the sideline, man, he looked me in the eye and said, ‘Coach, there’s no excuse. That’s my fault.’ I mean, it’s just the type of kid that he is. I know that he’s not going to make that same mistake again. He’s a kid that you really like to have out there. We’ve just got to keep working on trying to cultivate his skills to where he can be faster and get guys covered a little bit better on third down. He’s a guy I love having on this team.”

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Saturday’s 62-7 loss to No. 14 Oklahoma marked the fourth time in the past five games that Kansas University’s new-look, Air Raid offense failed to fly above 14 points.

Head coach David Beaty said he had been surprised by the offense’s struggles and said simply, “We got to get that fixed in a hurry.”

“Right now, one of my most disappointing things is that, offensively, our production is not what I expect,” Beaty said. “It’s got to be a lot better than what it is. We have to be able to score more points than what we are scoring.”

The answer to fixing such issues often lies in finding a way to get all 11 players on the field to execute their jobs. Beaty acknowledged that individual breakdowns are a problem for his Jayhawks (0-8 overall, 0-5 Big 12) but added the onus falls on the coaching staff to find a way to squeeze more points out of the offense.

“You have to always

Sometimes you’re carrying too much into the game plan. Sometimes you’re not carrying enough. Sometimes you don’t have the right (plays) to be able to take

advantage of what they’re doing. Sometimes you might think you might be able to hold up a little bit better in protection than you are actually able to.

You just have to make sure that you do a good job of continuing to look to see how you can help them guys be in a better position to execute.”

KU’s 216 yards of total offense were the fewest gained by the Jayhawks

this season and marked the lowest total since the Sooners held the Jayhawks to 103 yards of offense last November.

going to pass out,” Beaty said of Patrick, who like all true and red-shirt freshmen is not available for interviews this season. “He was screaming so loud, so excited about getting into the end zone.

That kid has steadily improved. We continue to kind of move people over in front of him every now and then, and he just makes you play him.”

Iowa St 24, Texas 0 Ames, Iowa — Joel Lanning threw a touchdown pass in his first start, and freshman Mike Warren carved out another 100yard rushing game.

Lanning, a sophomore who replaced senior Sam Richardson, struggled at times with his passing but did enough with his feet for the Cyclones (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) to break a threegame losing streak.

He led a 66-yard scoring drive that gave the Cyclones a quick early lead and floated a perfectly thrown pass to Dondre Daley in the left corner of the end zone to make it 17-0.

about it before, they truly don’t ever stop,” Mets manager Terry Collins said.

With runners on first and second on a pair of one-out walks by Tyler Clippard, Jeurys Familia relieved. So steady in his new role as closer this year, Familia had allowed Alex Gordon’s ninthinning, tying homer in a Game 1 loss.

This time, he came on with a 3-2 lead and got Hosmer to hit a soft grounder toward Murphy as 44,815 fans stood, waving their orange towels in hopes of an inning-ending double play.

But the slow chopper sneaked under the glove of the NL Championship Series MVP as he charged in. Murphy, who would’ve only had a play at first, appeared to glance at the runner and failed to get his mitt down. The ball rolled and rolled toward right field, and Ben Zobrist raced home from second base as Familia crouched on the mound.

“In postseason, you can’t give away outs.

You’ve got to make outs.

You can’t give good teams opportunities to score extra runs, because they can do it,” Collins said.

Surely no one in the silenced Citi Field stands expected this scary ending. It got worse for the Mets in a hurry, too.

Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez followed with RBI singles to break away.

Ryan Madson pitched a perfect seventh for the win, and Wade Davis worked two scoreless innings for his first save.

Clippard took the loss.

As Teneill moves her fingers over the keys with the kind of slow, measured precision one might expect from a beginner, Isabel Keleti, a third-year music student at Kansas University, chimes in.

Piano is new to Teneill — she’s only about a month in — but Keleti, her teacher, says she’s making progress.

Only Keleti isn’t sharing the piano bench with Teneill. She’s sitting behind an identical instrument just more than 40 miles away, in

a small room tucked away inside KU’s Murphy Hall.

When Keleti places her foot on the pedals or her hands on the keyboard, the action is recreated on Eisenhower’s piano in Kansas City.

“Very nice. Your scales are sounding a lot better, Teneill. Thank you so much,” Keleti says, her voice as crisp and clear as if she were there in the Eisenhower auditorium with Teneill.

“You’re welcome,” Teneill answers.

Long-distance lessons The 12-year-old is one of nine students at Eisenhower Middle School chosen to take part in Piano Without Borders, a groundbreaking new initiative from the KU School of Music that provides kids in need with private lessons using Disklavier technology.

Last spring, KU partnered

TENEILL CHILDERS, 12, A SEVENTH-GRADER at Eisenhower Middle School in Kansas City, Kan., receives a piano lesson Thursday from Isabel Keleti, a third-year music student at Kansas University, via Skype and special pianos that reproduce the performer’s movements on each instrument. Teneill is part of KU School of Music’s Piano Without Borders program that provides kids in need with private lessons remotely. See a video of Teneill’s piano lesson with this story at Lawrence.com. with the Yamaha Corporation of America and Band of Angels, a Kansas City-based nonprofit that donates used instruments to low-income students, in acquiring the $20,000 Yamaha piano.

Disklavier technology involves electronic sensors and electromagnets that record and reproduce the performer’s movements.

“You could put a piano in Outer Mongolia — or anywhere, really, as long as you have Internet — and the keys would go up and down in real time,” says Scott McBride Smith, a professor of piano at KU who’s facilitating the program.

He’s worked with Disklavier technology for about 15 years, but

he’s never seen it used quite like this. Pianos Without Borders, Smith says, may just be the first program of its kind in the nation — possibly even the world.

The initiative pairs KU music students in need of teaching experience with underserved students who, despite an interest in piano, might not have access to private lessons.

Some students come from families with limited means, says Aimee DeSotel, who teaches band and orchestra at Eisenhower. But the biggest issue facing these kids, she says, is a lack of piano teachers in the area.

Off the recordBar: Where to get a music fix

A

fter 10 years of daily concerts, drinks and a menu filled with clever musical references, Kansas City’s recordBar will relocate from the Westport Landing strip mall when its lease is up at the end of the year.

Owners Steve Tulipana and Shawn Sherrill are reportedly scouting out new locations, but nothing has been announced yet.

In the meantime, local music fans and performers need not despair, as several other bars and music venues have opened in the past few years.

For starters, there’s Tulipana and Sherrill’s other venture, miniBar, at 3810 Broadway Blvd.

The miniBar hosts more DJ events than concerts, but its late closing time make it a popular place to gather after concerts at the nearby Uptown Theater are over. An event calendar is online at minibarkc.com.

In the downtown area, the Tank Room is a slightly upscale bar with dim lighting, modern furnishings and a wellappointed bar.

The Tank Room hosts live jazz and blues acts, as well as an open mic comedy night on Mondays and a singer/ songwriter open mic on Thursdays, with live DJs the rest of the week.

From 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday, the bar lives up to its name with $3 Boulevard Tank 7 beer and other happy hour specials.

Check out the Tank Room online at thetankroom.com or in person at 1813 Grand Blvd.

Right next door at 1809 Grand, the Green Lady Lounge boasts a similarly classy cocktail lounge vibe, although one hearkening back to a slightly different age.

The velvet red walls, oil paintings and marble bar are reminiscent of big-city jazz clubs from the bebop and hard-bop era, with live jazz seven nights a week. There’s never a cover at the lounge, either, freeing up your budget to sample the reasonably priced cocktail menu, which features a formidable Manhattan, a Moscow Mule with fresh ginger beer, and the mysterious, eponymous Green Lady cocktail.

View the Lady’s event calendar at greenladylounge.com.

The retro sophistication continues in the West Bottoms, where The Ship, one of the city’s most enigmatic, hard-to-stumble-upon drinking establishments, is tucked in an alley behind the brick warehouses at 12th and Union streets.

The Ship dates back to 1935, when it was opened shortly after Prohibition ended in Kansas City’s central business district.

The bar changed hands throughout the decades, and had been closed since 1993 when Bob Asher and Josh Mobley recovered signage and furnishings from the original bar and reconstructed it at 1217 Union Ave. Today, The Ship is once again at full sail each Tuesday through Saturday, with cocktails, live music and a nautical ambience you won’t find anywhere else in KC. Visit theshipkc.com for more details.

When it comes to a good old garage and indie rock, Blind Tiger at 3945 Main St. is an impressive new

nightspot that opened earlier this year.

With its wide variety of craft beers, black-hoodied customers and DJs spinning rare 45s, Blind Tiger would be right at home in downtown Williamsburg or in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. But given its smattering of local rock shows, the extensive menu of gourmet hot dogs, and its location across from the iconic Katz’s Drugstore building in Westport, Blind Tiger is a uniquely Kansas City spot.

The multiple pool tables, ski ball alleys, ice hockey table, foosball table and hoop fever arcade games make this a great place to unwind and play a few games while drinking and socializing. Visit facebook. com/blindtigerkc for weekly updates on shows and events.

While all the above locations are relative newcomers to the scene, music fans should also check out The Riot Room (4048 Broadway,

theriotroom.com), Davey’s Uptown Ramblers Club (3402 Main, daveysuptown.com) The Brick (1727 McGee, thebrickkcmo.com) and Knuckleheads (2715 Rochester, knuckleheadshonkytonk. com) for performances by local and touring acts.

Meet the 2015 Phoenix Award winners

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Now in their 20th year, the Phoenix Awards annually recognize outstanding artistic achievement in the Lawrence community, as chosen by the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission.

This year’s winners are Marty Olson, in the category of Exceptional Artistic Achievement; John Derby, in the Art Educator category; and the Committee on Imagination and Place in the category of Creative Spaces.

Awards will be presented to the winners during a reception at 2 p.m. today at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. The event is free and open to the public.

Marty Olson For nearly four decades, Marty Olson has owned and operated Do’s Deluxe salon at 416 E. Ninth St. The modest building, tucked away in a tree-lined East Lawrence neighborhood, houses both Olson’s salon — where he often displays his own paintings and prints, as well as works from local and regional artists — and his art studio.

In this sense, writes Deb Stavin in her nomination of Olson, Do’s Deluxe “is indeed a salon” where his customers have the opportunity to casually converse with the curator — and artist — himself.

Olson, who has also designed sets for the Lawrence Arts Center’s “A Kansas Nutcracker” and created seasonal displays for Hobbs, says he dreamed of becoming an artist from the moment he first picked up a pencil.

In his younger years, he thought about becoming an art professor. Dropping out of college after two years officially put an end to those plans, but these days, Olson is still teaching, in his own way.

Whenever he encounters a beginner intimidated by a blank canvas, he tells them, “just throw something at it.” Make your mark on the surface, Olson says, and get the conversation started.

“It’s all about process and being fearless. Don’t feel like it’s perfect halfway done, you know, because it sure isn’t,” the artist says with a laugh, poking fun at his own work. “That’s how I’ve probably grown through the years — to accept and expect change.”

Olson’s longtime customers shouldn’t expect things to change around the salon too much in the coming years. “Retirement is not a part of my vocabulary,” Olson says,

“I’m thinking maybe a three-day work week sounds good right now,” he says optimistically. “But I’ve got to hang in there.”

John Derby Growing up in Ohio, John Derby never felt a sense of true belonging at school, with one classroom proving the exception.

“The art room was always a place where I felt like I was completely accepted as a person,” says Derby, who teaches visual art education at Kansas University. “And I found as a teacher the same thing to be true, that it really is a place that appeals to a wide variety of students — from those planning to go to prestigious universities, to those planning to go immediately into work afterward.”

At KU, Derby’s research bridges art and his specialization in disability studies, which examines disability as a social construct and recognizes those with disabilities as “fully human” with their own unique culture, he says.

“People who experience mental disability, even those who experience it to the level that requires institutional placement, still have experiences that are valid and real,” Derby says.

“And ultimately, from an art education standpoint, that I think are worth expressing in art.”

Outside the classroom, “Derby is an advocate for artists and art students and seeks to expand the opportunities that are offered for recognition of their work,” writes Lesle Knop in her nomination.

Since 2013, the assistant professor of visual art has served as a volunteer juror for the Catholic Fine Arts Council’s Archbishop’s Invitational High School Art Exhibit, “giving his time and expertise” to establish the program that last year drew 63 applicants from seven Catholic high schools in northeast Kansas.

He’s also a musician (Derby sings in the local Sursum Corda ensemble as well as the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center choir) and athlete who counts a recent a 100-mile “ultra marathon” as one of his proudest accomplishments.

Still, Derby says, most of “everything that I am that I feel good about” comes from his students.

“In wanting to connect with your students, you realize that what you have to do is listen to them, pay attention to them,” he says.

Sometimes, when faced with a cultural or

“I’ve realized that it’s important to expose myself to new things and new technologies,” Keleti says. “I think being able to use these new things will make piano learning and music education more accessible and more effective. And that’s really important, too.”

For the future of Pianos Without Borders, DeSotel and Smith would both like to see it expand at Eisenhower. Right now, lessons are only offered during a fourhour block on Thursday evenings, which Smith says limits the number of teachers available.

Several more expressed interest in the initiative, but scheduling issues got in the way.

When the program was introduced, Eisenhower’s music department asked prospective students to write an essay.

economic barrier, this process can take a lot of effort. But for Derby, it’s worth it.

Committee on Imagination and Place In Jerry Jost’s nomination letter for the Lawrence-based Committee on Imagination and Place, the acting executive director of the Kansas Land Trust suggests that the collective be considered for an award in the Creative Places category.

The committee, Jost acknowledges, is not an actual place.

But in the 16 years since its founding “to consider ideas related to human imagination and concepts of place,” the I&P has “created a wide range of public conferences, seminars, exhibitions and publications that have explored the very nature of creative spaces, thus contributing to the awareness and language that makes recognition and appreciation of such spaces possible.”

And yet, founding member Rick Mitchell says, “we didn’t really think of it that way” when he, along with Laurie Ward and Paul Hotvedt, created the committee in 1999.

Originally, the I&P was a collaboration between the Lawrence Arts Center, Cottonwood Literary Review and the Kansas Land Trust. The initial goal, Mitchell says, was

“With some kids, it was just a short paragraph, but you knew the desire was there,” says DeSotel, who received more than 40 applications.

In the end, only nine were chosen, though DeSotel says she could have easily picked five or six more. A handful of kids were so disappointed that they actually shed a few tears, she says.

She’s hoping to fit those students into the program next fall, with more teachers on hand at KU. “We didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t know if kids would be practicing or if they’d be motivated, and it turns out, they all are,” Smith says. “Now that we see that it’s working, we can really build on this.”

the organization of the first Kansas Conference on Imagination & Place, which explored the thenemerging field of “hypnogeography,” or the landscape of dreams.

In those early years, the committee put out a call asking for write-ups on dreams and place. The resulting “Dream Archive” was published soon after, and is still available on the I&P website.

These days, Mitchell says, there’s a lot of talk — both on the local and national level — about creative placemaking, a conversation that took place years ahead of the curve at I&P gatherings.

“The committee was really doing some seminal work in bringing people together who were interested really early on in this concept,” he says.

“So being recognized by the arts community in the category of creative places, I think, is particularly gratifying for us.”

Of course, there’s more of “us” in the committee 16 years later. What started among a trio of friends in 1999 has grown into a multidisciplinary coalition of nearly 20 members. As of 2015, that roster includes Spencer Museum of Art director Saralyn Reece Hardy, former Kansas Poet Lau-

reates Caryn MirriamGoldberg and Denise Low, and architect Steve Clark, among others.

The committee, which in 2009 became a freestanding organization, has in recent years devoted more attention to its publishing efforts. Right now, major projects include an oral history of The Merc as well as an expanded website that will provide an outlet for reviews, essays and visual-art portfolios related to place.

The redesign should be up and running by midNovember, Mitchell says.

What’s kept the Committee on Imagination and Place going, he says, is the core group of members who have met once a month since 2001.

“They all bring their background and experience to the conversations. There are so many different, deep ways of looking at the development of our ideas about places — everything from geography and geology to the arts,” Mitchell says.

“It’s a topic that keeps on giving, and I think that’s part of the reason we’re still together.”

‘Jobs,’ ‘Crisis’: From truth to truthiness

W

here do you draw the line when a movie is based on a true story?

It’s a tough question for every filmgoer to answer, and it’s different with every movie.

One notion however, is clear: There is a certain perspective and level of expectation when you are led to believe that the film you are watching has some sort of basis in fact.

There are two main ways a story can betray your trust: First, the tiniest of falsehoods can set you off, especially if you are familiar with the story and know what actually happened.

This is not a deal-killer, though, because smart moviegoers understand timelines are often compressed and composite characters are sometimes created to tell the story efficiently in two hours.

A successful “true story” retains the overall theme of its subject without losing sight of it completely.

But secondly — and far more importantly — a story feels false when it loses the “ring of truth.”

This is not just about betraying facts, because a movie can lose the ring of truth even if you have no idea what the true story it’s based on is about. The moment that credulity is stretched too thin by an overly convenient plot device or unmotivated action, the ring of truth disappears. This is a problem in all movies, not just the ones that purport to be based on a true story. But it is especially tough for those that say they are based in fact.

“Our Brand Is Crisis,” starring Sandra Bullock as political strategist Jane Bodine, has this problem.

What’s unique about this film is that it might have worked better if it never claimed to be based on a true story.

As it is, the opening credits say it is “suggested” by the documentary “Our Brand Is Crisis,” which was released in 2006 and followed Clinton strategist James Carville to Bolivia to

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

What sinks the movie isn’t that Jane is a completely fictional character or that Billy Bob Thornton plays an equally fictional rival (who looks and talks just like Carville), it’s that director David Gordon Green can’t find a consistent tone or point of view.

“Our Brand is Crisis” wants to be a satire on the cynical, manipulative world of campaign strategy, but it also wants us to sympathize with Jane and get caught up in winning.

Rooting for Jane and

her U.S.-led team of operatives means doing so at the expense of the Bolivians, who get a small amount of representation in the form of an idealistic young staffer, played

by Reynaldo Pacheco.

The actor is fine, but Peter Straughan’s script does him no favors, reducing his motivation to a single childhood photo that meant a lot to his father. It’s responsible, of course, to include the perspective of Bolivians in the movie, but the movie never goes deep enough with any of them

to make a difference.

Instead of getting a black comedy about powerful U.S.–government employed parasites pulling dirty tricks on foreign soil, we get a silly revenge story about two rivals who are supposed to be really smart — something we rarely see.

This element of the story doesn’t have the ring of truth and neither does Jane’s late-in-thegame conscience development. It’s all too hard to swallow, and it might have worked better with a harder-edged tone, see-

hat I find most exciting about young-adult literature is that the books in this category are often not confined to any one genre.

They blend elements from many, subvert tropes and defy conventions. Because readers of young-adult fiction are more willing to explore a variety of genres, authors of young-adult fiction often have success writing in a variety of genres.

One such author is E.K. Johnston, Hardcover nonfiction who spun a Johnston 1. The Pioneer Woman tale about Cooks: Dinnertime. Ree carbonDrummond.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, for example, may not have asked Jobs specifically to give a shout-out to the engineers of the Apple II (as Seth Rogen does playing Woz in the movie) but that request was made often, and it came from other engineers.

As stagey as “Steve Jobs” is, it burns with the ring of truth. The actors bring Sorkin’s highly stylized and biting words to vivid life, and it resonates on a human level.

“Steve Jobs” is less about technology and more about the drive to succeed — the personal cost of passion, dedication to work, and pig-headed single-mindedness. Critics of Sorkin’s Jobs say Universal Pictures/AP Photo the real man wasn’t like that — at least all of the time.

Sorkin plays fast and loose with the facts, But so did Shakespeare when he wrote “Julius Caesar” or “Henry V” or “Richard III.” I’m not comparing Sorkin’s prose with the Bard’s, but using a widely known and culturally important figure as a way into telling stories with universal themes is, well, universal.

a rhythm and cadence to the story, and a strong sense of place, whether it’s a rural Canadian town built to withstand attacks from dragons, a sweeping desert or a cheerleading camp.

“The Story of Owen: Dragon Slayer of Trondheim” is an adventure story set in an alternate world in which dragons are real and feed on carbon emissions.

Professional dragon slayers are employed mostly by large corporations to protect their interests. Owen, the nephew of a legendary dragon slayer, is a celebrity hero when he moves to the small, rural town.

But his new bard and friend, Siobhan, is equally important to this story, which is as much about family, friendship and music as dragons.
