Trump CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“If it would look like anything that happened in the debates, it would be worrisome,” said State Rep. Barbara Ballard, a longtime Democratic office holder in the county.

“If that is how we would deal with other countries . . . I just can’t believe our country would choose to go in that direction.”

At the Cibo Sano restaurant in west Lawrence, about 30 people gathered for the Douglas County GOP watch party.

The thought of a Trump presidency was inspiring a phrase that voters have perhaps heard before: Hope and change.

Pat Bates, a Lawrence Republican, said she believed Trump would reduce the size of government and make it more efficient. Her husband, Tom Bates, said ideas such as dismantling the Environmental Protection Agency may get serious consideration, and he said he hopes Trump will turn the economy around so there are more factory workers than government workers.

Most of all, though, he said he thinks a Trump victory would be a message that voters are tired of dishonest politicians, and he pointed to the Clintons as the prime example.

“We are tired of the corruption of the Clintons,” Tom Bates said.

“Bill Clinton so damaged the presidency.”

Trump, who faces a myriad of lawsuits for

his business dealings and other issues, has faced multiple questions about his temperament to hold office. Local Democrats on Tuesday indicated that was one of their larger concerns. They predicted Trump’s temperament would lead to more division.

“Donald Trump has proven, whether he wins or loses, that dividing people and tearing people apart makes for good campaign politics, but it doesn’t do anything to move our country forward,” said Douglas County Commissioner Mike Gaughan, a Democrat who also is active in Democratic politics across the state.

Local Republicans predicted Trump’s temperament would be just fine, although some said he will have to “learn some diplomacy,” and rely on qualified people to help him govern.

“I think the temperament issue has been overplayed a lot,” Ammel said. “I think he is more level-headed than most candidates have been.

A lot of people just had their mind made up about him. I hope they give him a chance. I think he will govern more pragmatically than they give him credit for.”

Interviews on Tuesday provided some insight into why Trump performed better than some national pundits may have expected. Some Republicans said the abortion issue still played a major role in the race, while others simply defied the conventional wisdom many commentators had been reporting.

Lawrence resident Shirley Zheng immigrated to America from China, and she said this was the first presidential election that she really became engaged in. She found Trump appealing on multiple levels.

Zheng said she liked his business experience, but particularly liked his stance on immigration issues.

“I vote for security,” Zheng said. “I want border security. I want somebody who fights the extremists. I’m really for anybody who says if you want equality, you have to earn it. You have to use your hands and your mind.”

Trump’s strong showing has surprised some local political experts.

Bill Lacy is the director of the Dole Institute of Politics at KU and formerly was a professional campaign manager.

“I came into today very strongly believing that Secretary Clinton would win the election. But it’s par for the course I have consistently counted out Donald Trump, and...every time I counted the guy out he does something incredible and is able to get himself back in grace.”

What happened?

First, Lacy said, it’s been clear since the primaries that there’s anger and dissatisfaction with the establishment.

“Americans in both parties are very clearly upset with the political establishment. We saw that with Sen. (Bernie) Sanders on the democratic side running so strongly against just an extremely strong candidate

in Secretary Clinton.”

Trump’s nomination illustrated a similar “disconnect” on the Republican side.

“I think basically people are fed up that the parties cannot work together at all and cannot seem to find common ground on anything,” Lacy said.

Some local leaders were beginning to look at how the country can come together on issues.

The issue of how women and people with disabilities are treated likely will get much discussion, as Trump was heavily criticized for comments he made about women, people with disabilities and other marginalized populations.

Kathy Rose-Mockry is the director of KU’s Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity. Trump was not her choice for president, but she said a Trump victory would not mean all is lost.

“We can’t have that attitude. If we as a country are going to go forward, I think it’s just essential that we band together and look for a way to make the process of democracy work by making sure our voices are heard,” she said.

“We are all called upon to use this as an opportunity to highlight the disparities that exist and push to make sure women do not lose ground — and I would say not just women but all marginalized groups of people.

As some of the issues have come forward and they’ve been made very visible, it does give us the opportunity to say clearly we have a lot of work yet to do in order to bring

folks to the table and to make equity a reality.”

Republicans said they also hope the country comes together, if Trump is elected president.

But they also noted it will require people who were viscerally opposed to Trump to give him a chance.

“I think his opponents are jumping to a lot of conclusions,” Pat Bates said. “I think they need to give him a chance. We honestly believe he will do the right thing for the country.”

9-year-old hit by car, seriously injured

City leaders favor rates that penalize higher water use

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A 9-year-old girl was hospitalized with serious injuries Sunday afternoon after she and her mother were hit by a car, police say.

Around 2:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the intersection of 23rd and Massachusetts for a car accident involving injuries, Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads said.

There, a Pontiac SUV — northbound in the 2300 block of Massachusetts Street — hit two pedestrians, Rhoads said.

Fifty-year-old Cheryl Arneill and her daughter were injured in the accident, Rhoads said.

Cheryl Arneill suffered minor injuries and was released at the scene, while her daughter suffered serious injuries and was flown to a Kansas City-area hospital, Rhoads said.

An updated report on the girl’s condition was not available Tuesday morning, Rhoads said.

It appears the Pontiac SUV failed to yield to Arneill and her daughter, who were walking in the street’s crosswalk, Rhoads said.

staff said will help pay for infrastructure improvements. The commission indicated they would support a tiered rate model, which would go into effect in 2018. Any changes would be in addition to a 5 percent rate increase for all users that is going into effect next week.

The “block rate” billing model would create three different rates based on a customer’s level of consumption. Customers who use significantly more water per month than the average household would be charged 10-15 percent more.

Low-consuming households and residents with low or fixed income would pay less under the new model.

County to consider sharing dust control cost with facility

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Now that it has updated traffic counts, the Douglas County Commission today will reconsider a 10-year extension of Community Living Opportunities’ Midnight Farm’s conditional use permit.

Commissioners first considered the permit extension for Midnight Farm at 2084 North 600 Road on Oct. 19 but tabled discussion because of confusion about the time of a required public hearing. The County Commission will consider the permit renewal after a public hearing at 6 p.m. today.

Midnight Farm is northeast of Baldwin City. During the permit

Kids CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Hundreds of schoolchildren, some with markers and crayons in hand, lined up to vote for their preferred presidential, vice presidential and congressional candidates Tuesday afternoon in Kids Vote, a simulated election experience organized by the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence.

Approximately 150 students cast their ballots at New York Elementary, where concerns ranged from prison reform and international affairs (fifth-grader Caleb Myers isn’t so sure about Trump’s plan to combat ISIS) to what constitutes “presidential” behavior.

This election season, agreed Kids Vote volunteers Nicole Van Velzen and Hannah Odette, is special. Most of the kids who stopped by their polling station at Cordley Elementary School seemed remarkably aware of the presidential race and what each of the candidates, at least from a child’s perspective, stands for.

And they’re excited to partake in the democratic process.

“I think it is so cool, because they get a really genuine experience ….

They’re taken seriously here,” said Van Velzen, who began the process

BRIEFLY

renewal’s Oct. 19 consideration, four neighbors to the facility, which provides services for individuals with developmental disabilities, asked the county to require that Midnight Farm apply dust control materials because of the traffic the farm adds to nearby county roads. Since that time, Douglas County Public Works conducted traffic counts at Midnight Farm’s entrance and at locations on North 600 Road and East 2100 Road near the farm.

The counts indicate “Midnight Farm does significantly affect traffic counts,” a report to county commissioners from Douglas County Public Works Director Keith Browning states.

Browning’s recommendation

of tabulating some 200 Cordley votes around 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Hopefully, she said, a program like Kids Vote will make the act of voting “less intimidating” for students as they move toward legal voting age.

At Hillcrest Elementary School, kindergartners seemed to lean more blue than red, though a few students weren’t shy about voicing their support for Trump.

“I think he’ll be better when he gets to be president,” said Keelan Moore, who cast his vote for the Republican nominee.

“He’ll be nicer (than Clinton).”

Moore’s classmate Milan Jooya, on the other hand, voted for Clinton, due in part to what he described as Trump’s easily flustered personality. “I think he’s getting mad because nobody’s choosing him,” Jooya said.

For Hillcrest kindergartners Celestra Conway and Pearl Hoover, the choice was easy.

They admire Clinton because she’s “smart” and uses “big words,” but also believe Clinton’s experience as a mother and grandmother would serve her well as Commander in Chief.

“I want a girl president because I like girls,” Conway said. And girls, she said, have a lot to offer.

is that the nonprofit Midnight Farm pay for 1,000 linear feet of dust treatment at the annual cost of $1,400 and the county pay for another 4,000 feet of treatment at the cost of $5,600.

Also to be considered at the 6 p.m. meeting today is a text amendment to county code that would allow small-scale industrial uses in the rural parts of the county through a conditional use permit instead of rezoning to industrial. The amendment comes to the commission with the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation for approval.

Mary Miller, planner for the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Department, told

Hoover agrees. What would a female president — a mom — bring to the White House?

“Joy,” Hoover said simply.

“Free toys and maybe a free puppy,” she added, wouldn’t be so bad, either.

Nearly 2,200 votes (totals include preliminary numbers from the secondary schools’ online ballots counted as of 7:20 p.m. Tuesday) were cast by local kids for Clinton and her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine; votes for Donald Trump and Gov. Mike Pence numbered just more than 500. Thirdparty candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein received between 200 and 300 votes each.

In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat Patrick Wiesner raked in nearly 1,300 votes, handily defeating opponents Jerry Moran (Republican; 806 votes) and Robert Garrard (Libertarian; 468 votes).

The race for Kansas’ 2nd congressional district, however, went to longtime Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins, who narrowly beat Democratic challenger Britani Potter 1,271 to 1,108 votes. Libertarian challenger James Bales received 517 votes.

commissioners on Oct. 19 that the text amendment was seen as a transitional step between home businesses, which are permitted with planning staff’s administrative review, and applications large enough to require industrial rezoning.

Among the restrictions written into the text amendment are that all business activity be confined to within a structure or structures of no more than 10,000 square feet, that there be no outside storage, that the activity generates no off-site effects such as noise, glare or vibrations, and that the business can have no more than the equivalent of 15 full-time nonresident employees.

Water CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The model would be for residential customers only.

Each month would be a restart — meaning residents wouldn’t necessarily be locked into the higher rates — and only water used over the high-use threshold would be charged at the higher cost, according to Mike Lawless, assistant director of utilities for the city. Those who use water for irrigation would have other rates and require a separate meter and service connection.

The new model would replace the current billing structure, which doesn’t vary based on consumption and instead bills at different rates for different “classes” of customers. The current model charges a higher rate for single-family residential than multifamily residential, and Mayor Mike Amyx said the new model is more equitable.

“This is all about

The only item on the County Commission’s 4 p.m. agenda is the renewal of a conditional use permit for the Prairie Moon School preschool program at 1853 East 1600 Road. Commissioners will also consider a text amendment to county codes that will allow small-scale industrial uses with a conditional use permit. The permit comes to the County Commission with staff and Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission’s recommendation of renewal. A report to commissioners states the preschool has operated without incident.

fairness,” Amyx said.

The commission will eventually choose between two different tiered models, one of which would result in more customers being charged the higher rates. Both models charge 10 and 15 percent more for the second and third tiers of users, but vary on what percentage of users are subject to the higher prices.

For both models — fixed inclining and individual inclining — the first tier of “average users” would not have a rate increase. The fixed method, under which 78 percent of users would not see an increase, uses a fixed number of gallons per month (5,000 gallons or fewer) to define who falls under the first tier. The individual method, under which 70 percent of users would not see an increase, uses a percent of average consumption (125 percent or less) to define who falls under the first tier.

Commissioner Stuart Boley said he was in favor of the fixed method because of its relative simplicity.

Home Loans

Soden, Amyx and Commissioner Matthew Herbert indicated they were in favor of the individual method.

At the commission’s request, city staff have spent the past year and a half looking into alternatives to the current billing method.

As part of Tuesday’s work session, staff also presented the utility department capital improvement plan, the scope of which will be dependent on the rate model decided upon by the commission.

The staff-recommended CIP for 2018 to 2022 is currently projected to cost $130 million. It includes projects such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure, the design of the Kansas River Waste Water Treatment Plant for nutrient removal, a field operations building and Bowersock Dam repairs.

If the commission decides to go forward with changes, the billing model would be developed and finalized as part of the commission’s 2018 budget considerations in the spring.

Jenkins, Moran easily retain seats in U.S. Congress

AP File Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta

REP. LYNN JENKINS, R-KAN., RIGHT, speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Sept. 21, following a House GOP caucus meeting.

Staff Reports

Republican Sen. Jerry Moran, of Kansas, easily won his second, six-year term in the U.S. Senate Tuesday night. He first won his seat in 2010 after serving 14 years representing the 1st District of western and central Kansas in the House. His

Democratic opponent was Patrick Wiesner, a Lawrence accountant and tax attorney who ran unsuccessfully for the party’s Senate nomination in 2010 and 2014.

Republican Rep. Lynn Jenkins batted back a Democratic challenge from an Ottawa school board member to hold

on to her congressional seat in the 2nd District of Kansas, which includes Lawrence, Topeka, Atchison and most of southeast Kansas. Jenkins defeated Democrat Britani Potter and won a fifth, two-year term. Jenkins is the senior member of the state’s U.S. House delegation.

Behind strong showing, Democrat wins Board of Education seat ByDemocrat Elvyn Jones Ann Mah ejones@ljworld.com rode a big win in Douglas County to a seat on the Kansas State Board of Education.

In the race between two Topeka women, Mah carried Douglas County 21,434 to 8,629 on her way to defeating Republican candidate Sue Mollenkamp, 71,938-51,254.

Mah said her victory with moderate Republican and Democratic victories Tuesday and in the August primaries in races for the Kansas Legislature was an indication voters wanted adequate funding for public education.

“When I was out campaigning, even in small towns, they understood where the problem was and that’s Gov. Sam Brownback,” she said.

“We’re closer to having a working coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats.”

Mah said she was hopeful with the changes that the Legislature will make the State Board a partner in creating a new school funding formula for the state’s school districts.

“I’m hopeful they’ll listen to the experts,” she said. “I will fight for the board’s role in that.”

Mah’s victory kept the

4th District in Democratic hands. She will succeed Carolyn Wims-Campbell, who chose not to run for re-election.

The 4th District includes all or parts of Douglas, Jefferson, Osage, Shawnee and Wabaunsee counties. The 4th State Board District portion of Douglas County is the western part of the county represented by the Kansas Senate 2nd District, in which Democrat Marci Francisco won re-election Tuesday.

Judges, justices ahead in retention races

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

SEN. TOM HOLLAND, D-BALDWIN CITY, TALKS WITH LAWRENCE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER KRIS ADAIR during early voting returns at the Douglas County Courthouse on Tuesday.

Balance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Conservative Republicans lost eight seats in the Kansas Senate in the Aug. 2 primaries, and Democrats were hoping to gain enough more to form a kind of governing coalition with moderate Republicans.

As of midnight, however, Democrats appeared to have gained only one seat in the Kansas Senate, an open seat in the 25th District

in Wichita where incumbent Sen. Michael O’Donnell had stepped down. But many other races were either too close or not enough votes had been reported to make a call.

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, said Tuesday night he was expecting to pick up three to four seats for the Democrats, who currently hold only eight of the 40 Senate seats.

In the House, however, Democrats had made a few more gains, although it wasn’t yet

clear whether it would be enough to form a similar kind of coalition in the lower chamber.

Two Republican House members who appeared to be headed toward defeat were Reps. John Bradford and Toni Barton, both of Leavenworth County.

According to unofficial returns, Bradford, from Lansing, lost his race to Democrat Debbie Deere, 48-52 percent.

Barton, from Leavenworth, lost his race to Democrat Jeff Pittman, 45-55 percent.

Democrats also picked up two seats in the

Sedgwick County area, defeating incumbent Republican Reps. Joe Scapa and Steve Anthimides.

Kansas Democratic Party executive director Kerry Gooch remained optimistic late Tuesday.

“I know we’re still waiting on results from Johnson County and a couple of other places around the state,” he said. “I definitely would say, no matter what, it wasn’t disappointing.

It’s been a while since we just picked up seats in the state Legislature.

So taking any step forward was our biggest goal for the year.”

But Kansas GOP chairman Kelly Arnold said he was pleased with the results so far.

“Overall, for the Republican Party, I think we’ve had a great night, with the assumption that Donald Trump continues to do well,” he said. “On state races, specifically the State Senate, (Senate Minority Leader) Anthony Hensley tried to make this whole state campaign a referendum on (Gov.) Sam Brownback, and it failed.”

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Karleskint takes House District 42 Republican Jim Karleskint held on to defeat Democrat Kara Reed in the 42nd District Kansas House race, keeping that seat in GOP hands.

Karleskint, a retired school superintendent, unseated incumbent Rep. Con- Karleskint nie O’Brien in the Aug. 2 GOP primary, campaigning in favor of greater spending on K-12 education and against Reed Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax policies.

O’Brien had been considered a loyal supporter of Brownback’s.

Unofficial returns Tuesday night showed Karleskint winning the race, 58-42 percent.

Reed, a Tonganoxie city councilwoman, was thought to have more name recognition, especially in the Leavenworth County portion of the district. But the district has leaned toward Republicans in recent election cycles.

Ballard coasts in House District 44 Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, coasted to reelection Tuesday night, de-

feating her Republican challenger Michael Lindsey, who had stopped actively campaigning for the Ballard seat.

Unofficial returns from the Douglas County Clerk’s Office showed Ballard Lindsey defeating Lindsey, 75-25 percent, a margin of 5,934 votes.

Ballard was first elected to the House in 1992 and is now among the longest serving members of the House. She has served as chair of the House Democratic Caucus and is the ranking Democrat on the House Social Services Budget and KanCare Oversight committees.

Sloan leads in House District 45 Republican Rep. Tom Sloan appeared to be headed toward re-election Tuesday night against Sloan Democratic challenger Terry Manies.

Unofficial returns Tuesday night showed Sloan had Manies

defeated Manies, 55-45 percent.

Manies, who was making her first run for public office, was one of the few Democrats this year to challenge an incumbent moderate Republican.

Sloan is completing his 11th term in the House, and in recent years he has frequently been at odds with conservative GOP leaders on issues such as tax policy and expanding Medicaid.

Sloan currently serves as vice chair of the Vision 2020 Committee, which is charged with studying long-term planning issues for the state. He had been chairman of that committee but was removed last year by House Speaker Ray Merrick after the committee endorsed a Medicaid expansion bill that never reached the floor of the House.

Francisco wins Senate District 2 Democratic Sen. Marci Francisco, of Lawrence, was re-elected Tuesday night by nearly a two-toone margin over her Republican challenger Meredith Richey, of Francisco Perry.

Unofficial election results from the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office showed Richey Francisco ahead late

Tuesday night by more than 11,000 votes, with 15 of 16 precincts reporting.

Richey, who was new to Kansas politics, had been a conservative activist in California in the early 2000s, leading campaigns against same-sex marriage and other gay rights issues.

Francisco was first elected to the Senate in 2004. She currently serves as ranking Democrat on the Senate Utilities, Natural Resources and Agriculture committees, among others.

Holland edges in Senate District 3 Democratic Sen. Tom Holland narrowly won re-election Tuesday night, edging out Republican challenger Echo Van Meteren, 51-49 percent.

Van Meteren, who was making her first run for public office, is the wife of the longtime Kansas Republican strategist Kris Van Meteren, a principle Holland in the consulting firm Singularis group.

According to unofficial returns Tuesday night, HolVan Meteren land held onto the seat by a margin of fewer than 900 votes out of more than 32,000 votes cast.

Holland, an IT consultant from Baldwin City, currently serves as the ranking

Democrat on the Senate tax committee.

Hensley wins Senate District 19 Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, fended off a challenge Tuesday night, defeating Republican Zach Haney, 57-43 percent.

Hensley has served 40 years in the Kansas Legislature, Hensley making him the longestserving elected official in the Statehouse.

Haney is a high school Haney graduate who has grabbed attention within business circles for starting his own business and becoming an author.

According to unofficial election returns, Hensley outdistanced Haney by fewer than 4,000 votes, a closer margin than many had expected in that race. But Hensley had devoted most of the campaign to helping other Democrats get elected to the Senate in a year when Democrats were widely expected to gain seats.

Hensley is not expected to face a challenge for another term as minority leader in the Senate.

Five Kansas Supreme Court justices and six Court of Appeals judges appeared to be headed toward retention late Tuesday, despite an unprecedented campaign to oust some of them.

As of 10:30 p.m., with nearly half of all precincts reporting, all of the judges and justices on the ballot were ahead in their retention races with at least 57 percent of the vote.

On the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, along with Justices Carol Beier, Dan Biles and Marla Luckert, were all targets of massive negative ad campaigns, ostensibly because of their decisions in several death penalty cases, including a 2013 decision to vacate the death sentences of mass murderers Jonathan and Reginald Carr.

A group called Kansans for Justice, which was founded by victims of the Carr brothers, spent more than $633,000 on television ads alone, according to figures from the Brennan Center for Justice.

But other conservative groups were involved in direct mail campaigns as well, including the antiabortion group Kansans for Life and the Kansas State Rifle Association.

Kansans for Life had also targeted four of the six Kansas Court of Appeals judges on the ballot for ouster over their votes to block enforcement of a new Kansas law banning a certain type of abortion procedure.

Another group, Kansans for Fair Courts, campaigned to retain all five justices on the ballot, including Justice Caleb Stegall, Gov. Sam Brownback’s only appointee to the court, as well as all six Court of Appeals judges. That group spent nearly $524,000 on television ads, according to the Brennan Center.

Those estimates were based on advertising reports filed with the Federal Communications Commission. Kansas law does not require disclosure of campaign contributions or spending in judicial retention races.

BRIEFLY Highberger, Wilson re-elected unopposed Two Lawrence-area legislators were reelected Tuesday night without opposition: Reps. Boog Highberger of the 46th District and John Wilson of the 10th District.

According to unofficial returns Tuesday night, Highberger received 8,903 votes. Wilson received 8,229 votes.

3 big items left on Obama’s agenda

EDITORIALS

Share the road New signs reminding residents about cyclists’ rights should make our roads safer.

N

7A

ew signs for bicycles on Lawrence and Douglas County roadways should make streets safer for bicyclists and motorists alike.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Bicycle Advisory Committee recommended the new bicycle signs, which have been approved by the city and county. The committee identified 50 priority locations for signs in Lawrence and Douglas County.

The estimated cost is $28,000, split evenly between the city and county.

Committee leaders say the goal is to help improve safety.

“The idea is that we educate both cyclists and drivers as to the correct interaction between bikes and cars, so that everybody can use the road as safely as possible,” said Lisa Hallberg, chair of the committee.

The signs say “Bikes May Use Full Lane” and “3-Foot Passing.” The signs are meant to make motorists and bicyclists aware of state laws giving bicyclists the same rights as motorists when traveling on roadways and requiring motorists to keep vehicles at least three feet away from bicyclists that they are passing.

The “Bikes May Use Full Lane” signs will be added to roads where there are no designated bike lanes or multi-use paths.

The signs will also be added on roads where the lane is not wide enough for a motorist to pass a cyclist with the minimum buffer of three feet, such as within roundabouts.

The “3-Foot Passing” signs will be added on arterial or collector streets that serve as key entry points into the community, as well as county roads where bicyclists must ride on the shoulder or in the roadway. Examples include Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway in the city and roads between Lawrence and Lone Star Lake, which are popular with cyclists.

Priority locations were selected because they are on designated bike routes or locations where interactions between motorists and cyclists are likely to occur. The new signs are part of an effort to make the city more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

The signs are a small but worthy investment. Given the tensions that can arise between motorists and cyclists, it seems sensible to remind everyone of Kansas laws encouraging cyclists and motorists to share the road.

Washington — President Obama should focus on three foreign policy challenges, post-election, to finish fights that began on his watch. These include setting rules for cyber behavior with Russia and other nations, pressing on toward Raqqa and the destruction of the Islamic State, and a “Hail Mary” effort to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal during the lame-duck session of Congress.

The most delicate challenge during the transition involves Russia, whose preelection hacking of Democratic Party websites was the most destabilizing and potentially dangerous greatpower confrontation in decades. The next president will have to decide how to rebalance the U.S.-Russia relationship on a longerterm basis, but Obama can help shape the rules for cyberspace.

Obama personally discussed cyber issues with Russian President Vladimir Putin in a private meeting during the G-20 summit meeting in China in early September. He confirmed at a news conference later that they talked “about cybersecurity, generally,” but he wouldn’t comment on “specific investigations that are still live and active.”

Obama set the right agenda at that news conference when he said, “What we cannot do is have a situation in which suddenly this becomes the Wild, Wild West, where countries that have significant cyber capacity start engaging in competition — unhealthy competition or conflict

“

The most delicate challenge during the transition involves Russia, whose preelection hacking of Democratic Party websites was the most destabilizing and potentially dangerous greatpower confrontation in decades.” through these means.”

The U.S was clearer in an Oct. 7 public statement by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, which stated that “Russia’s seniormost officials” had authorized cyberattacks that were “intended to interfere with the U.S. election process.”

The U.S. has not yet taken any covert action to respond to Russian cyberattacks, contrary to some news reports. That’s because Obama wanted to avoid further pre-election destabilization and to respond “in a way that leaves the possibility of escalation limited,” said one senior administration official. But any post-election Russian attempts to undermine the

results or sow new confusion in cyberspace might trigger U.S. action, several officials cautioned.

Obama should continue this delicate process of establishing a framework for mutual cyber deterrence with Russia. There’s no higher priority in his remaining time in office.

Delivering on the promise to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State may be impossible before Obama leaves office Jan. 20. But U.S. commanders said last weekend that they are pressing ahead with the battle to take Raqqa, the Islamic State’s self-declared capital, despite disagreements among U.S. coalition partners about the composition of the force that will clear and hold the city.

Obama appears to have followed the advice of Gen. Joseph Votel, the Centcom commander, to “go with what works,” by relying on a Kurdish-dominated umbrella group known as the Syrian Democratic Forces in the squeeze on Raqqa, despite opposition from Turkey. This is an expedient decision: Roughly 25,000 SDF fighters are ready, while a Free Syrian Army Force supported by both Turkey and the U.S. is said to need more months of training.

The Turks don’t like the SDF coalition because it’s built around a Syrian Kurdish militia known as the YPG, which the Turks regard as a terrorist group.

U.S. officials think the Raqqa timetable is urgent, and not just to make progress by Inauguration Day. This is a war of momentum, and commanders say

it’s crucial to continue the recent progress made in Mosul. As long as Raqqa remains in Islamic State control, it could be the launching pad for deadly terror attacks. A senior French official underlined Friday the urgency of the Raqqa campaign to European nations that have been hit by terror.

Obama will leave a messy problem for his successor if he can’t diminish tension with Turkey. One approach was suggested Sunday by a senior representative of Iraqi Kurdistan and its Turkish-backed leader, President Masoud Barzani.

This official said in a telephone interview that Turkish fears about the Raqqa campaign would be eased by the participation of a Barzani-trained Syrian Kurdish militia known as the Rojava Peshmerga, or “Roj Pesh,” which might operate separately from the YPG but under overall U.S. command.

Obama’s final post-election challenge is to somehow pass the TPP, the 11-nation pact that’s the symbolic centerpiece of his once-ballyhooed “pivot” to Asia. Obama has told Asian leaders that he thinks he can muster the votes, if the Republican leadership cooperates. Failure to get the deal passed would be a huge strategic win for China, the White House rightly argues.

Obama’s presidency is almost history, after Tuesday’s vote. But he could still accomplish three big things that would shape the world in 2017 and beyond.

PUBLIC FORUM

Reduced coverage To the editor: Regarding the 2017 Individual Health Insurance Market: For the past two years, I’ve gotten health insurance through the exchange available to Kansas residents, but next year I can’t because none of my specialist doctors at the KU Medical Center are in any provider network for Kansas residents outside the KC metro area, and, in fact, for some specialties there are no providers in the networks at all.

That seems to be how insurers are

keeping costs down, making sure people with need of specialty care can’t use their plans. BCBS, the largest exchange provider, is offering only HMO coverage, which means subscribers will not have the option of going to any doctors or facilities in the KC metro area as nonparticipating providers at a higher out-of-pocket deductible; visits will simply not be covered at all. KC metro Kansas residents are in their own separate provider network.

Considering that KU is the only medical school in the state, it seems outrageous that people signing up for health insurance in the state of

TODAY IN HISTORY Kansas using the exchange won’t have access to the first-class level of care at this premier state facility.

I did find, though, thankfully, that all my doctors are in the BCBS network off the exchange, at 20 percent more than my current out-of-pocket costs (comparable to increases on the exchange). But since this is not an exchange-offered plan, no subsidies are offered. Still, I am grateful for the coverage that would not have been possible without the Affordable Care Act.

Hunting rights which hunting and fishare a constitutional amendment approved ing right.

Kansas voters have signed off on amending the state constitution declaring that Kansas residents have the right to hunt, fish and trap wildlife.

The measure will add a section to the state’s Bill of Rights to explicitly preserve hunting and fishing as a preferred way to manage wildlife.

Any future measures seeking to limit hunting or fishing would need proof that a particular animal could become endangered.

Kansas now is among roughly 20 states in

Proponents say the measure is a pre-emptive safeguard against possible restrictions such as pushes to ban hunting and fishing outright or incrementally. Opponents counter that the measure might prevent citizens from stepping in to prevent unsportsmanlike practices.

It ANALYSIS turned out to be a nail-biter.

Donald Trump, the political novice who was taken seriously by almost no one when he announced his presidential campaign 16 months ago, challenged Hillary Clinton in battleground states Tuesday night with a campaign that defied expectations of an early call in her favor.

The most caustic presidential campaign in memory ended with deepened divides by gender, ethnicity and education — and with new coalitions emerging for the two major parties that could reverberate in American politics for a generation.

Kohlhepp called great salesman with off-putting quirks MICHAEL B. SMITH AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

Clients recall his sarcasm, jokes

Ron Barnett and Kirk Brown The Greenville (S.C.) News GREENVILLE , S . C.

Looking back, Roberta Shaughnessy can’t help but feel a little freaked out that a man who once had a key to her house could be linked to as many as seven deaths and imprisoning a woman in a storage building.

“Of course right now I’m completely floored, and a little creeped out,” the mother of three said as news about her former

real estate agent caused her to rethink her interactions with him in a new, sinister light.

She and her husband had signed a contract with Todd Kohlhepp to sell their home five years ago, and for several months, the convicted sex offender had access to their property, often showing it to prospective buyers when the family was away.

“We had no idea that he had just got out of prison so many years before. We had no idea that he was a registered sex offender,” Shaughnessy said.

Last week, Kohlhepp, 45, was arrested and charged with kidnapping 30-year-old Kala Brown

It wasn’t sarcasm, though, that came across in phone calls to The Greenville News advertising department. It was rudeness.

Yuvonne Goodwin, who ran display ads for properties Kohlhepp was listing, remembers him as “not a nice guy.”

“He pretty much yelled and cussed my teammate out over the phone He was just very condescending,” Goodwin said.

Kohlhepp’s real estate license was suspended Friday by the state Real Estate Commission.

Terri Chambers expressed second thoughts about having Kohlhepp list her home. “He liked to talk about himself a lot,” she said.

Despite problems, polls at peace Voters endure plodding lines and disruptive glitches with equipment Richard Wolf and Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Tens of millions of Americans who descended on the polls Tuesday faced hours-long lines, sporadic equipment failures and confusion about polling places — but little of the violence or vigilantism that had been feared.

Problems cropped up in Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and other battleground states that would decide whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump won the presidency. Most involved election administration issues that have plagued the polls for decades, rather than incidents of voter fraud or intimidation.

A coalition of more than 100 civil rights and voting rights groups running a national election protection hotline reported that 40% of its calls came from African-American and Hispanic communities. The majority of complaints came from California, New York, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

Florida saw particularly high levels of voter misinformation.

KATE PENN, USA TODAY NETWORK

Ronny Platts, right, and other voters wait in line for about an hour to vote at midday at the Newberry Township Fire Co. on Tuesday in Pennsylvania, a battleground state.

“There is tremendous disruption at the polls today,” said Wade Henderson, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. “This election may be the most chaotic election … in the last 50 years.”

There were widespread problems in North Carolina and Colorado, two crucial swing states: uIn Durham, N.C., electronic poll books used to check voter registration were down, forcing voters to wait longer and use pa-

per backup copies. The Southern Coalition for Social Justice filed a lawsuit in hopes of forcing the Durham County Board of Elections to keep polls open an additional 90 minutes. Voting was extended by the state Board of Elections for up to an hour in eight precincts affected by the malfunctions.

Judith Browne Dianis, co-director of the Advancement Project, a civil rights group, said the Durham problem “makes for the

perfect storm of a contested election” after a dispute over legislative voting restrictions struck down in federal court. “It’s going to be the battleground of the battleground,” she said. uIn Colorado, portions of the voter-verification system went down for about 30 minutes in the afternoon, briefly forcing state officials to issue provisional ballots to an undisclosed number of voters and briefly preventing them from processing mail ballots. The

cause of the problem was under investigation.

In Ohio, the eligibility of some black voters was challenged at the polls. Voters in a heavily Somalian community who had conflicting addresses were told to use provisional ballots, which weren’t available; signs posted in black neighborhoods warned that voter fraud is a crime.

A problem with the calibration of electronic voting machines in Lebanon County, Pa., caused about a half-dozen machines to display what voters thought were straight Republican tickets as straight Democratic tickets. Poll workers alerted the county elections bureau, and voters were able to change their ballots, said Michael Anderson, director of the Lebanon County Bureau of Elections.

Voters were watched by thousands of federal monitors, voting rights advocates, conservative watchdogs and even international observers looking for anything from dirty tricks to acts of violence.

The presidential race tightened in recent days, and Trump urged supporters to watch polling stations in “certain areas” for signs of fraud.

gized Latinos, plus the backing of most white college-educated women and the affluent — voters that used to be Republicans.

Trump’s Republican coalition was almost entirely white and included a crushing margin among men without a college education — the sort of working-class men who used to be Democrats.

They were battling for votes in a nation that was divided and downbeat about their leaders and their lives.

In exit-poll surveys by Edison Research, more than three in five voters said things in this country had gotten “seriously off on the wrong track,” and two-thirds said their personal financial situation hadn’t improved or had gotten worse in the past four years. Only a bit more than a third predicted that life for the next generation would be better than life today — the fundamental tenet of the American dream.

For the newly elected president, a political landscape shaped by invective is likely to be as challenging as any in decades. The

most common reaction among Trump supporters to the idea of Clinton’s election was “scared” — which was also the most common reaction among Hillary Clinton supporters to the prospect of Trump’s election.

Only one voter in 50 viewed both candidates as trustworthy.

Nearly one in three voters said neither was.

Historians and political scientists struggled to cite a precedent for a contest so defined by division and attack. The dominant message from each candidate was that the other couldn’t be trusted with the keys to the White House.

Enthusiasm was in notably short supply: Fewer than half of voters said they strongly favored their own candidate; four years ago, two-thirds had.

“You’d have to go back to BurrHamilton in the Weehawken duel,” said New York Rep. Steve Israel, an eight-term Long Island Democrat who is retiring. (History class reminder: In 1804, thenvice president Aaron Burr mortally wounded former Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton.)

“You’d almost have to say

1860,” said Nicole Hemmer, an assistant professor of presidential studies at the University of Virginia. Abraham Lincoln won that election, but seven Southern states moved to secede before he was inaugurated. “The 1860 election happened and there was no willingness to accept the results, and that of course leads to the Civil War. I don’t think that’s going to happen here, but the idea that a candidate might not accept the results, and that would be part of his big sell to the public, that’s not something we’ve seen before.”

Trump’s nomination alone had been groundbreaking. The bombastic real-estate mogul gained renown in the world of reality TV, not politics or government — the first major-party candidate since World War II to lack any experience in government or military command, and one often at odds with the establishment of the party he led.

Clinton’s nomination was groundbreaking as well: The former secretary of State was the first woman nominated for president by a major party in the 240-

year history of the republic.

Sixteen months ago, they launched their candidacies within days and a mile of one another, at Trump Tower and on Roosevelt Island. Here’s a look at what happened in their final showdown Tuesday, and why. uWomen roared Maybe this shouldn’t be a surprise: The campaign featuring the first female nominee — and one running against a male opponent accused of sexual harassment — was heading toward an historic gender gap.

Men backed Trump by nine points; women backed Clinton by 14, a wider margin than they had given Barack Obama four years ago. The exit polls indicated that the gender gap, the difference in support for a candidate between male and female voters, likely would surpass the record of 11 percentage points in the 1996 presidential campaign that reelected Bill Clinton.

Also unsurprisingly, women were more upset by allegations that Trump had groped and demeaned women in the past than men were. Close to six in 10

send his election opponent to jail.

From the beginning, Trump’s narrow road to victory wound through must-win swing states like Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. Trump won all of them, and then added Georgia and Iowa even as he maintained slight leads in blue states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, putting him within short grasp of the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

With no political experience to his name, Trump defied expectations throughout his unconventional campaign, vanquishing a crowded field of 16 other Republicans for the chance to face Clinton, the former first lady and secretary of State. The result was one of the most bitter campaigns in modern history.

Despite the unpopularity of both candidates, turnout was up.

In the 2,101counties with 100% precincts reporting as of 1 a.m. ET Wednesday, 4.8% more voters cast votes than in 2012.

The race pitted two candidates with singular qualities: Clinton, who would become the first female president after 228 years of men, against Trump, whose vast wealth, lack of government experience and blunt rhetoric would redefine the word “presidential.”

His insult-laden speeches and tweets — which his supporters

Even before the vote-casting turned to vote-counting, a sense of history hung over the day.

Many women wore pantsuits to the polls, an homage to Clinton’s conservative sartorial style. Hundreds of women made a pilgrimage to a Rochester, N.Y., cemetery, affixing their “I voted” stickers to the headstone of Susan B. Anthony, the suffragist leader whose work paved the way for women’s-

right to vote.

Nearly a century later, gender issues were never far from the forefront of Clinton’s barrierbreaking campaign — or from Trump’s.

Nearly two-thirds of voters who spoke to exit pollsters said they were bothered by Clinton’s use of a private email server. Even more said they were bothered by Trump’s treatment of women — with more than half saying that his conduct bothered them “a lot.”

More than one-tenth of voters

said they made up their minds on how to vote in the last few days of the campaign, as the FBI revealed its on-again, off-again investigations into Clinton’s emails.

Justin Byerly of Asheville, N.C., said his decision was difficult.

“Until 11 days ago, I was for Hillary,” he said. “Then the emails happened.”

Exit polls revealed an electorate more educated, more diverse — and also angrier — than recent presidential elections. Clinton was counting on a big turnout from Hispanic and AfricanAmerican voters, while Trump’s support was fueled by a frustration about the direction of the country after eight years of Obama.

Clinton and Trump both cast their own ballots in solid-blue New York state Tuesday morning.

Clinton and husband Bill arrived to cheers at her polling place in Chappaqua, N.Y. Trump’s reception at his Manhattan polling place was more mixed. He finished voting and then appeared to peek over at wife Melania’s ballot. Asked who he voted for, he joked, “Tough decision.”

women said his treatment of women bothered them “a lot;” just more than four in 10 men felt that way.

A majority of college-educated women voted for the Democratic candidate for the first time since at least 1952, when exit polls allowed demographics characteristics to be analyzed.

But the key divisions Tuesday weren’t only about gender. They also were about education. White women who weren’t college graduates? They backed Trump by double digits. uBlue-collar whites turned red There was a time when white men without a college education were a backbone of the Democratic coalition FDR forged.

But this year, that group gave Trump his most avid support, embracing his message that unwise trade deals and competition for jobs from illegal immigrants had cost them their place in the middle class. They backed him by close to 3-1. While Clinton was endorsed by most labor unions, voters from union households backed her only narrowly.

Republicans keep the Senate

Sen.-elect Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., celebrates her win over incumbent Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., during her election night party Tuesday.

Duckworth a victor, but GOP wins elsewhere Erin Kelly @erinVKelly USA TODAY

washington Republicans crushed Democrats’ hopes of seizing control of the Senate on Tuesday, winning at least five of eight crucial races that determined the outcome.

Democrats picked up a seat in Illinois and kept the Nevada seat that Sen. Harry Reid held for 30 years. They also still had a chance to win in New Hampshire.

But they fell short of the net gain of five seats they needed to win a majority, or even the four seats they needed to split the Senate 50-50.

Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth ousted Republican Sen. Mark Kirk in Illinois. Duckworth, who was first elected to the House in 2012, lost both of her legs in combat in Iraq; Kirk suffered a stroke during his only term in the Senate.

In Nevada, Democratic former attorney general Catherine Cortez Masto defeated Republican Rep. Joe Heck for the open seat created by the Reid’s retirement. Reid, the Senate minority leader, campaigned hard for Cortez Masto to succeed him.

In New Hampshire, Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan were running neck and neck.

In Indiana, Republican Rep. Todd Young beat two-term former senator Evan Bayh for an open seat created by the retirement of GOP Sen. Dan Coats. Bayh was a late entrant to the race and had an early lead in polls. And in North Carolina, GOP Sen. Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, defeated Democratic former state representative Deborah Ross.

In Pennsylvania, Sen. Pat Toomey defeated former state environmental chief Katie McGinty. In Missouri, GOP Sen. Roy Blunt was beating Democratic Secretary of

Republicans will now help determine whether the new presi-

dent can push his or her agenda through Congress for the next two years. If Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins, the GOP will hold the executive and legislative branches.

Democrats believed they could wrench the majority away from Republicans because the GOP had so many more seats to defend this year. There were 24 Republicanheld seats on state ballots Tuesday and only 10 Democratic-held seats.

In Louisiana, the outcome of the Senate race will not be known for weeks.

There were 24 candidates vying to fill the open seat of retiring GOP Sen. David Vitter. No one received 50%, which means there will be a runoff on Dec. 10 between the two top vote-getters, Republican John Kennedy and Democrat Foster Campbell.

Republicans keep hold on the House Caucus likely smaller but more conservative Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

Republicans were poised early Wednesday to maintain their control of the House of Representatives with several candidates gaining momentum from the surge in voters for Donald Trump.

Democrats needed to gain 30 seats to seize control of the House.

That’s was always an unlikely outcome, Congress watchers agreed.

“That would mean an unbelievable night,” said Barry Burden, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of its Elections Research Center.

At 1:30 a.m. today, Republicans had won 225 seats to 168 for Democrats. It takes 218 to claim the majority.

Upsetting the Republicans would have required a huge win on Hillary Clinton’s part, on the order of a double-digit margin of victory for her to lift the rest of the party’s candidates, Burden said.

Early Wednesday, Trump had beaten or led Clinton in several battleground states, eliminating any chance that she could sweep other Democrats into office with her. Instead, it appeared it was Trump’s momentum that lifted several GOP House members.

The Democrats’ other dilemma: They received more votes overall nationally in 2014, but still lost seats — largely because they ran up the score in safe districts.

Republicans stood to lose seats Tuesday, Burden said, in the range of 10 to 20. Losing fewer than 10 indicated a good night for the GOP, he said.

Sarah Binder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a political science professor at George Washington University, agreed that a loss of fewer than 10 seats would be a net positive for WASHINGTON

Republicans.

“If GOP losses are kept below 10 seats, it’ll be consistent with a GOP electorate that turned out for Trump and all the way down the ticket,” Binder said. “And that’s typical American electoral politics of late — strong party voting up and down the ticket.”

David Wasserman differed just a bit, putting his marker at 13 Republican losses. If the Democrats win more than 13, they should be pleased. If they win fewer, Republicans can breathe easier, according to Wasserman, House editor for The Cook Political Report.

In Florida, Republicans held on

to two competitive seats, but lost one. In an open seat in eastern Florida, including part of Palm Beach County, Brian Mast defeated Democrat Randy Perkins after the Democratic incumbent Patrick Murphy opted to run for the Senate. Murphy lost to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio. In another closely watched race, the incumbent Republican Carlos Curbelo held off Democrat Joe Garcia in South Florida.

But in the Orlando area, Democrat Stephanie Murphy beat 12term incumbent John Mica, a fixture in Florida politics. The district boundaries were redrawn last year and held fewer Republicans.

Also in Florida’s St. Petersburg area, former governor Charlie Crist, a one-time Republican and then Independent who ran as a Democrat in Tuesday’s election, helped the Democrats pick up one seat in the House. Crist beat Republican incumbent David Jolly.

What’s likely to be apparent on Wednesday, Burden said, is a smaller, more conservative majority as the GOP’s losses will probably come in suburban districts, home to more moderate Republicans. The slimmer, more conservative majority will make it more difficult to re-elect House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and to pass legislation, Burden said.

Ryan, as expected, won his race and tweeted that Republicans would indeed continue to control the House.

Republicans, based on their campaign ads, focused on local issues, Binder said in an email.

While Democrats have attempted to “nationalize” races by linking Republicans to Donald Trump.

That strategy backfired as Trump rolled to wins in the south and Midwest.

That was the case in Wisconsin where Republican Rep. Reid Ribble, from the Green Bay area, was a member of the “Never Trump” club. He did not seek reelection. But Republican Mike Gallagher rode the Trump wave in northeastern Wisconsin to win the open seat.

And Rep. Barbara Comstock, RVa., won an expensive race against her Democratic challenger LuAnn Bennett in their suburban Washington district. That race saw the two candidates saturate the airwaves with advertisements in the closing weeks of the race. Ads for Bennett sought to link Comstock to Trump. Comstock held a comfortable margin of 54% to 46% with virtually all the ballots counted.

Elsewhere, in New York, Republican incumbent John Katko, a freshman, held off a challenge from Democrat Colleen Deacon in another closely watched race in the central part of the state.

Binder will also be watching the races of two Republican incumbents on opposite coasts: Scott Garrett in New Jersey and Darrell Issa in California.

“Those are both good bellwethers of whether prominent incumbents can insulate themselves from a blue tide — to the extent that there is one,” she said.

N.C. governor race in a virtual tie Of 12 low-key but key battles so far, Republicans have 5; Democrats, 4 Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

One of the most closely watched governor’s races on election night came down to a virtual tie late Tuesday, with Republican incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory and Democratic challenger Roy Cooper separated by just a few thousand votes of more than 5 million cast.

The pair were knotted at 49% of the vote each with 99% of precincts reporting, raising the specter of a contested outcome that could stretch past election night.

Speaking at about 12:30 a.m.

ET Wednesday, McCrory said the election process would not end for several days, as a winner in the gubernatorial race will not be declared until a canvass of votes, according to WITN-TV in Greenville, N.C. — to be completed by Nov. 18, at the earliest.

“We’re going to make sure that every vote in North Carolina counts,” McCrory said. “To ensure that every vote counts, there is a process.”

However, Cooper declared victory to a gathering of his supporters in Raleigh. “The results will be certified and they will confirm victory,” he told the gathering, according to WCNC-TV in Charlotte.

McCrory came under intense national scrutiny this year for overseeing controversial laws, including HB2, nicknamed the “bathroom bill,” which prohibited transgender residents from using public bathrooms of the gender they identify with, and a voting law that was struck down by the courts. Protests and boycotts ensued in the wake of HB2, including the NCAA’s announcement that it was relocating its championship games.

In other races, Republicans picked up two extra governor’s seats and Democrats held onto four late Tuesday in the race for 12 governor posts.

MINIMUM WAGE

Colorado voters approved their minimum-wage measure, and Maine and Arizona were also considering similar plans, raising the wage to $12 by 2020. In Washington, the pay floor would climb from $9.47 to $13.50 over the next four years.

@trevorhughes USA TODAY

American voters widely backed loosening of marijuana laws across the country on Tuesday, permitting recreational use on both coasts, and dramatically expanding the number of people who can use pot as medicine or just for fun.

“This is the most important moment in the history of the marijuana legalization movement,” said Tom Angell, a spokesman for the pro-legalization Marijuana Majority.

California, Massachusetts and Nevada voters approved recreational legalization, while voters in Maine also appeared likely to pass it, based on initial returns.

Arizona voters appeared to have rejected recreational legalization.

On the medical side, Florida, Arkansas, and North Dakota all voted in favor of medical cannabis, and Montana appeared likely to also approve it.

If those results hold, 29 states will now permit cannabis use for certain medical conditions, including cancer and HIV, and eight will permit recreational use, as does the District of Columbia.

“Most voters do not think otherwise law-abiding citizens should be criminalized for using a product that is much safer than alcohol,” said Rob Kampia, the executive director of the pro-legalization Marijuana Policy Project. “There is a general consensus that law enforcement should be fighting serious crimes rather than enforcing failed and deeply unpopular policies.”

Legalization skeptics said they were “disappointed” in the results and planned to keep pushing for restrictions aimed at

Supporters of an amendment to legalize medical marijuana wave signs in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday. Voters approved the ballot initiative. keeping pot out of the hands of kids.

Experts say the support for both medical and recreational marijuana will likely increase pressure on federal lawmakers to change their treatment of cannabis.

Elsewhere across the country, voters are also deciding whether to mandate higher minimum wages and require performers in California’s pornography industry to use condoms.

Ballot initiatives can give citizens the ability to bypass their elected officials and instead make their case directly to voters, or they can be placed on the ballot by lawmakers seeking to amend the state constitution. In many cases, they permit voters to directly set specific policy when

lawmakers can’t, or won’t, act.

MARIJUANA PROPOSALS

Marijuana issues have drawn the most attention, with nine states deciding whether to loosen the rules governing either recreational or medical cannabis use.

Legalization advocates say the strong wins across the country on Tuesday will increase pressure on Congress to reconsider how the federal government treats this Schedule 1 illegal drug, including access to banking.

Legalization advocates credit Colorado and Washington, the first two states to permit recreational marijuana sales, with helping lay the groundwork for what they expected to be a series of victories across the country.

Nevada and California expect to

use their positions as tourism destinations to direct a flow of marijuana taxes into state coffers. California alone is expected to have a marijuana marketplace worth $7.6 billion by 2020, according to prediction by industry analysts New Frontier Data and ArcView Market Research.

“This is vote heard ‘round the world.’ The other states that have passed legalization are like pilot studies compared to the seismic shift in the market that legalizing marijuana in the sixth-largest economy in the world will cause,” ArcView CEO Troy Dayton said.

DEATH PENALTY

Nebraska and Oklahoma voters endorsed death-penalty measures, while voters in California were still considering whether to

In a uniquely California move, voters are considering whether to strengthen existing rules requiring actors wear condoms in adult films. The state’s workplace safety enforcement agency, CalOSHA, is already charged with making sure actors wear condoms in adult films for their own protection. Los Angeles voters approved a measure requiring condom use in 2012.

Proposition 60 backers say enforcement of that law isn’t vigorous enough because the agency only acts on complaints. Only four citations were issued in 2014 and 2015, the state’s legislative analyst says. The debate focuses attention on Southern California’s role as traditional home to the porn industry, an industry that generates millions, if not billions of dollars, although estimates are hard to come by. Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley, a section of the city northwest of downtown, has sometimes been called “porn valley” because so many adult film production companies have set up shop there.

Say hello to ads on Facebook Messenger Starting this week, businesses can buy ads in the News Feed Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

Ads are coming to Facebook Messenger as Facebook looks to wring sales from its popular messaging service.

Starting this week, businesses will be able to buy ads in the Facebook News Feed to reach people they’ve interacted with.

The ads route Facebook users to Facebook Messenger.

“We believe that the combination of driving people from News Feed into a Messenger experience and having an additional opportunity to re-engage with sponsored messages is a gamechanger,” said David Marcus, vice president and head of Facebook Messenger.

Marketers will also be able to reach people who have started conversations with them on Facebook Messenger. Those people will be invited to converse with a “chatbot,” a largely automated, interactive experience that assists consumers with questions and sells them goods and services.

Facebook says users need not worry about being spammed: They can block messages they don’t want to receive.

Investors said they believe Messenger and WhatsApp, two of the world’s largest messaging apps, each of which has 1 billion plus users apiece, could eventually generate billions of dollars in additional revenue for Facebook.

Messenger and WhatsApp have been testing potential money-making methods, looking to imitate the marketing success of mobile messaging apps in Asia.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes both messaging apps are key to Facebook growth over the next five years. Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014 in a deal valued at $22 billion.

Messenger, in particular, has been in the Facebook spotlight.

In April, Facebook Messenger announced a “chatbot” initiative at its F8 developers conference to turn the Messenger app into a hub for shopping, entertainment, and news. It was the secondstraight year that Facebook focused on Messenger at F8.

Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The number of Americans quitting jobs hit the highest mark this year in September, the Labor Department said Tuesday, a sign that leverage in the labor market has swung to workers and should lead to more rapid wage growth.

Meanwhile, job openings increased but remained at a relatively subdued level, and hiring fell, possibly indicating that employers grew more cautious ahead of the presidential election.

The number of quits increased from 3 million in August to 3.07 million, the highest since December’s 15-year high of 3.09 million.

“It’s a reflection of a labor market that’s getting a little tighter,” says Barclays chief U.S. economist Michael Gapen.

Faster wage growth is likely enticing more workers to switch jobs. The Labor Department said last week annual wage gains climbed to 2.8% in October, a seven-year high. At the same time, more turnover is likely to force employers to further bump up pay in a virtuous cycle. That could give the Federal Reserve more evidence inflation is poised to pick up and help solidify its expected decision to raise interest rates next month for the first time in 2016.

One sign workers are holding the cards: There were 1.4 unemployed workers per job opening in September, down from a high of 6.7 in 2009. A 2-to-1 ratio typically signifies a healthy job market.

Job openings rose by 33,000 to 5.5 million but remained below the record 5.8 million reached in July. And the number of hires declined to 5.1 million from 5.3 mil-

lion. Earlier this year, economists noted the large number of job postings indicated employer demand was strong, but firms struggled to find workers as the 5% unemployment rate left a smaller pool of candidates.

September’s drop in openings, however, could mean employers also pulled back somewhat after the United Kingdom’s Brexit vote and the presidential election created uncertainty among businesses, Gapen says.

Retailers, transportation and warehouse companies, and professional and business services boosted hiring, while health care, leisure and hospitality, construction and manufacturing added fewer workers.

Still, Labor last week revised up its estimate of net job gains in September to a healthy 191,000, above this year’s monthly average of 181,000.

Tesla extends push toward automation Electric-car maker buys automated manufacturing firm Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

Tesla’s push on automation is extending beyond just self-driving cars. Now, it’s moving more toward building the cars autonomously as well.

The electric-car maker confirmed Tuesday that it would be buying German automated manufacturing company Grohmann Engineering.

Grohmann’s 700 workers will join Tesla, with the unit being renamed Tesla Grohmann Automation. Its base in Prüm, Germany, will become the headquarters for Tesla Advanced Automation Germany.

Tesla is going to need all the help it can get. Since announcing

TESLA MOTORS

Tesla’s Model S may soon come off the assembly line faster. its lower-cost Model 3 earlier this year the company has set a goal of producing 500,000 cars per year by 2018.

The company plans to deliver about 50,000 cars in the last half of this year.

CEO Elon Musk has repeatedly talked about focusing his engi-

neering team on designing innovative factories, right along with the need to improve cars.

He says more effort is being put into the machines that make the machines — more automated production lines and better complex robots — as a way to boost productivity and hold down costs.

As recently as last month, he told investors in a conference call that the factory that will make the Model 3, Tesla’s first massmarket electric car, will see a boost in efficiency.

In addition to Grohmann’s employees Tesla said it would be adding more than 1,000 “advanced engineering and skilled technician jobs” in Germany over the next two years.

Terms of the deal were not announced. Tesla expects the deal to close in “early 2017.”

Tesla manufactures its cars in Fremont, Calif., and it now has a massive battery plant outside Reno.

Even with the acquisition, the company does not plan to stop expanding. The car maker teased in a blog post that there would be “other locations to follow,” though it did not provide any further details.

Tesla stock shares closed Tuesday at $194.95, up $1.74, or almost 1%.

A: Investors have been worn down by the election. The question now is how investors will react to the new president.

Don’t expect to be dazzled with big gains following the election of a new president. Investors are not fans of uncertainty, and new leadership introduces an unknown that traditionally puts a damper on stocks. Since 1949, the Standard & Poor’s 500 has gained 1.9% during the fourth quarter in election years, says the Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Stock returns during the fourth quarter of election years are much lower than the same period during off-election years.

Eventually, the stock market regains its confidence as the election becomes history.

The S&P 500 has gained 7.6% on average in the year following the election, says Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at market research firm CFRA, which looked at elections back to 1945. But the largest gains in presidential cycles occur well into the new terms. The S&P 500 rose 16.1% in the third year of presidential cycles, which on average is the best year of the fouryear term, Stovall found.

It’s not just because of a few good years, either. Stocks rose 88% of the time in the third year of a president’s term.

Philip Morris (MO) was the most-bought stock among most SigFig portfolios in mid-October.

Valeant shares take big hit as company lowers outlook Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Investors pounded shares Tuesday of embattled drugmaker Valeant Pharmaceuticals International after it lowered its outlook for 2016 revenue and profit, compounding the company’s troubles as it faces a federal fraud investigation and seeks to remake itself under new leadership.

Valeant (VRX) swung to a net loss of $1.22 billion in the third quarter compared to net income

of $49.5 million in the same period last year. The loss was primarily attributable to a $1.05 billion write-down in the value of certain U.S. businesses, including primarily the Salix product line that the company is reportedly seeking to sell.

The company projected fullyear 2016 revenue of $9.55 billion to $9.65 billion, down from a previous range of $9.9 billion to $10.1 billion. Projected adjusted earnings per share are now $5.30 to $5.50, down from a previous estimate of $6.60 to $7.

the company’s stock down 21.7% to a close of $14.98, off $4.15.

The company is facing multiple federal investigations, including a fraud probe into its previous ties to specialty pharmacy Phili-

dor Rx Services.

Valeant has also been at the center of a national controversy over sharp increases in certain pharmaceuticals.

“With this announcement, we think that credibility of the new management team has been impaired, and hopes of a quick business turnaround should be discarded,” Mizuho Securities analyst Irina Koffler said in a research note.

Evercore ISI analyst Umer Raffat said in a note that despite the disappointing quarter, the significantly lowered profit outlook

“may be setting up for a beat” when full-year earnings are reported. The troubled drugmaker’s third-quarter revenue tumbled 11% to $2.44 billion. On a pershare basis, the company lost $3.49, missing S&P Global Market Intelligence estimates of a 49cent loss.

The earnings statement comes as CEO Joseph Papa is trying a chart a course back to stability.

“While we have revised our expectations, ... I continue to be encouraged by the commitment of our employees,” Papa said in a statement.

It’s not exactly rude, and I don’t want to be labeled as old-fashioned, yet I’m not sure I’m ready to be “Susan.”

Annie, am I just behind the times on this, or is there a way to be Mrs. Smith again? — Mrs. in Minnesota Dear Mrs.: I’m with you on this one. Although you may feel a bit awkward doing it, simply tell your daughter’s friends you would prefer that they call you Mrs. Smith. The

Propaganda movies play on TCM TCM devotes its prime-time schedule to documentary propaganda movies made during World War II. The night begins with the survey “To Tell the Truth: The Strategy of Truth” (7 p.m.), contrasting the forms and style of such films made in Britain, Germany and the United States.

Among the most celebrated American films of this type were the “Why We Fight” series, directed by Frank Capra, best known for “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

These include “Prelude to War” (9:15 p.m.) and “The Negro Soldier” (9:30 p.m.).

Wartime films were made by celebrated filmmakers like Capra and John Ford (“The Searchers”), who shot “The Battle of Midway” (12 a.m.) in color.

Ford’s Pearl Harbor documentary “December 7th” (10:30 p.m.) sat on the shelf for some time because it was considered more demoralizing than rousing.

There was plenty of room for newcomers. The sudden enlistment of millions of civilians called for crash education and indoctrination in the rudiments of soldiering, such as how to use a rifle, put on a gas mask, etc. “The Autobiography of a Jeep” (9:15 p.m.) celebrates the vehicle’s invention and many uses.

Propaganda documentaries live on, particularly on YouTube. YouTube has also become the place to go for how-to videos, so much so that networks like HGTV have basically abandoned instructional series for fancier fare about buying and selling real estate. If you want to learn how to grout, turn to YouTube. Sponsors have noticed.

Many amateur directors have become virtual infomercial producers, plugging products provided by manufacturers hopeful for viral exposure.

We’ve come a long way since Frank Capra.

Dear Annie: You have recently published a couple of letters from people living in apartments with noisy neighbors. Your advice to talk directly to the noisy neighbor is right on. Years ago, we lived next door to a man in his early 30s who liked to party, listen to music and television at a very loud volume, and could be heard giving loud Tarzan yells as he jumped across the furniture in his living room.

One day, his music was so loud we couldn’t hear our television at all. My then-husband

Dear Annie: When did it become commonplace for young people to address their elders by our first names?

My youngest daughter, “Emma,” graduated high school two years ago and moved out of state for college. This past summer, when she returned home, I noticed a shift in how her friends spoke with me.

Though I have a good relationship with my daughter’s friends, they always addressed me as “Mrs. Smith.” However, the most recent time a few of Emma’s friends were over for dinner, one of them called me “Susan” without prompting.

I was too surprised to say anything at the time, but it struck me as odd. Though they are technically adults, it’s hard to see these young women as my equals.

‘Competition mode’ to determine KU’s starting QB

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

As of Tuesday afternoon, Kansas football coach David Beaty still didn’t feel comfortable naming a starting quarterback for this week’s home game against Iowa State.

Speaking at his weekly press conference, the man

in charge of the program, the offense and the quarterbacks said QB Montell Cozart — starter in 7 of 9 games — had recovered “pretty well” while going through concussion protocol after suffering a head injury at West Virginia on Saturday. Beaty hoped to gain a better sense of Cozart’s well-being

at practices.

“We’re still in that competition mode,” KU’s head coach said of naming a No. 1 quarterback to face the Cyclones (1-8 overall, 0-6 Big 12). “But we’ll go through practice today and tomorrow and make that decision.”

After getting “lit up” by a WVU defender on a deep

post pass to Steven Sims Jr., Cozart’s head crashed into the turf. Beaty guessed that particular play led to the QB’s injury.

“He got hit a few times in the game, so I’m sure maybe it was an accumulation effect,” the coach said, “but that one hit was a pretty good hit that he took.”

Once Cozart showed

concussion-like symptoms on the sideline, Beaty inserted Carter Stanley at QB. The redshirt freshman’s performance rekindled the ongoing public debate about who deserves the No. 1 position on KU’s depth chart. Stanley completed 9 of his 11 passes for 127 yards

y late, great friend Elden Auker, who earned All-Big Eight honors in football, basketball and baseball for Kansas State more than 80 years ago and went on to pitch in the major leagues for 10 seasons, didn’t much care for

visits to the mound from the manager.

Auker wished playermanager Joe Cronin had stayed at shortstop and left the pitching to him.

Auker was fond of recounting Cronin’s sermons on the mound, saying, “Don’t give him anything good to hit, but

for God’s sakes, don’t walk him!”

The task Kansas senior center Landen Lucas needs to execute in Friday night’s season opener in Honolulu against Indiana’s powerful center, Thomas Bryant, is a little like what Cronin asked of his

pitchers: Play him physically, but whatever you do, don’t get into foul trouble.

“We’ve always been blessed to be a program that can run four bigs out there and foul trouble wasn’t going to be an issue,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “That isn’t

going to be the case this year.”

Bilas: Early-season classics not always indicative of team’s strength

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When Kansas and Indiana help usher in another season of college basketball Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic on ESPN from the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, college basketball analyst Jay Bilas will be courtside, eager to soak up every second of the game that matches the No. 3 and No. 11 teams in the country.

“It’s a tremendous amount of talent that’s gonna be on the floor in that Indiana-Kansas game,” Bilas said during a Monday conference call. “And to have those two powerhouse college basketball brands squaring off against each other will be incredible.”

The reasons for Bilas’ excitement about the KU-IU showdown are many — and mostly obvious — but instead of trying to determine how

the rest of the 2016-17 season will go based off of the result of this one game, 2,500 miles off the mainland, Bilas plans to enjoy the action and make judgments later.

“You have to take it with a grain of salt,” Bilas said of his method of evaluating teams based on these early-season classics played so far from home. “There are times when the travel can make things very difficult and maybe the

team doesn’t perform at its optimum level, and there are other times where you see a team play unbelievably well early in the season and then they fall off later on.”

The 2015-16 Indiana Hoosiers are a perfect example of the former and that fact was not lost on Bilas, the consummate college hoops junkie.

Washington enters playoff rankings

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

Washington moved into fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, putting the four remaining unbeaten teams from the Power Five conferences at the top of the selection committee’s second top 25.

Alabama, Clemson and Michigan still hold the top three spots.

The committee’s first ranking of the season caused a bit of a stir because the unbeaten Huskies were behind Texas A&M last week. The Aggies then went out and lost at Mississippi State to clear up the mini-controversy.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL

When searching for a new head football coach, schools have been showing a greater desire to hire an up-and-comer, such as Tom Herman or P.J. Fleck, rather than a veteran with a long record of success, such as Les Miles.

The average age of the head coaches hired by FBS teams last season was 43.2 years old, the youngest in the past six years. Eight of the 26 new hires were under 40 when they accepted the job.

In 2010 and 2011, the average age of the 48 coaches hired by FBS schools was a touch over 47, including eight under the age of 40.

People in the business of hiring coaches are hesitant to call anything a trend, since each school comes to the marketplace with different needs and criteria. But the current climate favors coaches like Western Michigan’s 35-year-old Fleck

KANSAS STATE QUARTERBACK JESSE ERTZ (16) IS TACKLED by Oklahoma State linebacker Jordan Burton (20) during the first half Saturday in Manhattan.

Wildcats’ losses linger with bye

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Manhattan — The longest week for a college football coach is the one following a last-second loss.

It’s going to be two long weeks for Bill Snyder.

Kansas State controlled most of its game against Oklahoma State last Saturday, and led 37-28 with the ball in Cowboys territory in the fourth quarter. But after getting stuffed on third-andinches and deciding to punt, coach Mike Gundy’s team ripped off two quick touchdowns to steal the win.

The loss followed a trend for the Wildcats: They’ve beaten the teams they are supposed to beat, and come up short — painfully short, on two occasions — against teams that could have turned their season.

“The nature of Kansas State football, it has always been to meet the challenge and having the persistence to work through things like this,”

LOOKING AHEAD What: Kansas at Kansas St. When: Saturday, Nov. 26 Where: Manhattan Time/TV: TBA Snyder said. “It is a major test of our character, players and coaches alike. I like to believe our guys will respond.”

The Wildcats (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) won’t get that chance until visiting Baylor on Nov. 19.

Still, the season has so far shaped up to be one of missed opportunities.

They traveled to Stanford for their opener and took a 26-13 defeat, though in retrospect it’s a game that the Wildcats could easily have won. And considering the Cardinal have been a similarly middling team in the weeks since then, the loss stands out even more.

Oh, and they got a week off to rue that loss, too.

Then, in the Wildcats’

and Houston’s 41-year-old Herman over a potential Hall of Famer such as Miles. The 62-year-old former LSU coach won 77 percent of his games and a national title in 11-plus seasons with the Tigers before being fired in September.

Potential is often more appealing to those hiring a coach than an extensive resume, according to Daniel Parker, the vice president and managing director of sports for Parker Executive Search, based in Atlanta. Parker helps programs identify coaching candidates and hire them.

“Bringing in somebody that’s got a lot of energy, that’s going to change the program, recruit really well, work really hard, that does something for the fan base. It re-energizes the athletics department. Re-energizes the fans,” Parker said.

Miles told Sports Illustrated last week he has “10 or 12 years left in me.” An out-ofdate offense was a big part of why Miles was ousted, but he

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

says he is willing to change and evolve his philosophies.

Recent history suggests the demand for Miles could be limited.

In 2010 and ‘11, four coaches who were at least 60 were hired by FBS teams, two each season. Since, Mike Riley, who went from Oregon State to Nebraska after the 2014 season, is the only 60-or-older coach to be hired as an FBS head coach.

The last hiring cycle also had the highest percentage of college coordinators and assistants with no head-coaching experience to become head coaches at Power Five schools since 2010.

Five of the 12 Power Five openings went to assistants and none was older than 43.

Most notably, Georgia hired 40-year-old Kirby Smart, the former longtime Alabama defensive coordinator and Georgia alum, and USC promoted former Trojans offensive coordinator Clay Helton, 43, after he served as interim coach.

U.S. v. Romania

conference opener at West Virginia, they blew a 13-0 halftime and gave up a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns in a 17-16 defeat that was every bit as crippling as this past week’s loss.

Oh, but that loss to the Cowboys.

Kansas State dominated the third quarter to turn a 23-21 deficit into a two-possession lead, and was marching for a score that could have put it away. But after quarterback Jesse Ertz was stacked up on third down at the Cowboys 48, Snyder elected to send the punt unit on the field rather than try again.

The loss kept the Wildcats from becoming bowl-eligible for the seventh straight season, though in reality is likely delayed the inevitable. Even if they lose to Baylor — which got waxed by TCU last weekend — there is still a home game against lowly Kansas waiting the following week.

Kansas State also visits the Horned Frogs the first weekend of December.

And at KU ...

Fans of KU football have seen a handful of head coaches over the last decade-plus. Here are the ages of those coaches when hired:

age 45 Turner Gill

age 47 Charlie Weis

age 55 David Beaty

Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey grew up in Kentucky in the 1960s, a child during the civil rights movement who witnessed the efforts of those in power to disenfranchise people of color and slow their push for equality.

So every two years, when election time arrives in the United States, Casey drives home to his players the importance of participating in the voting process.

“I tell my players ‘Get your absentee ballots and vote,’” Casey said. “I remember my grandparents talking about when African-Americans couldn’t vote. Or they tried to make it hard for them to vote.

“So that is a privilege a lot of people fought for, you went to jail for. Everyone should vote.”

Many athletes have to rely on absentee ballots, either because they reside permanently in a different state from their team or because they are on the road during Election Day. Several teams have taken steps to help.

Minnesota Vikings Executive Director of Player Development Les Pico began a voter education program when he arrived with the NFL franchise in 2005. This year, the team emailed players three times to encourage them to register, placed forms in their lockers reminding them to get an absentee ballot and offered help in assisting them to register in their home states.

Retired NBA star Baron Davis wrote a piece for The Players’ Tribune reminding athletes to vote.

“At this time in our country, it’s easy to feel like things haven’t been working for us,” Davis wrote. “But the solution is not to just say, I won’t do anything about it. The solution is to take what we know about improving — whether it be in sports, or in your life — and apply it to our problems.”

Seabury freshman rises through golf competition

‘‘

By Shane Jackson

As they are learning, I’m learning. I don’t ever remember winning any tournaments, so she’s already passed me.”

sjackson@ljworld.com

A

little more than a week after clinching a state championship, Bishop Seabury freshman golfer Faith Hedges was working on her putting one evening after cheer practice at the Alvamar Golf Course.

After dethroning a pair of former state champs in her first-place finish at 3-2-1A, Hedges had just one opponent on this green — her younger brother, Will.

This particular putting battle was just one of many miniature competitions the two siblings have taken part in for a number of years.

“It helps a lot,” Faith said, “because it’s competition but it’s fun and we are both trying to improve. It goes either way usually. We just do putting contests and chip in contests. We try to get closest to the hole.”

But before the two became each other’s biggest motivators on the course, Faith encouraged her younger brother off of it.

For a year before she started competing in tournaments of her own, Faith was Will’s biggest fan as he played competitive golf. It was while watching these tournaments that Faith decided she wanted to give it a shot.

“There were other girls her age in Kansas City tournaments,” Faith’s father and coach, Bryan Hedges, said. “So once she started seeing girls her age playing and started to see it was fun, she started to sign up.”

— Bryan Hedges, Faith Hedges’ father and coach

BISHOP SEABURY FRESHMAN GOLFER FAITH HEDGES HITS A SHOT ON THE PUTTING GREEN alongside her younger brother, Will, at Alvamar Golf Course.

Faith began competing in junior tournaments at 12 years old. Just a few years later, Faith hoisted her first state banner.

It marked the first state title from a golfer in Seabury history.

What made her feat even more impressive was the fact it was just her second tournament at the high school level.

Seabury was unable to gather enough players to make a high school team, leaving Faith by herself.

Instead of letting it hold her back, Faith practiced all year at the courses in Lawrence: Lawrence Country Club, Eagle Bend and Alvamar.

“They are right here so I play them all the

time,” Faith said. “Because I do play here a lot, I have a lot more confidence on these courses.”

Just before regionals, Bryan had to take a test to become certified as a coach. The move allowed Bryan to move much closer to his daughter during tournaments, from 30 yards back to just 5 yards — though he admitted she didn’t really need it.

“During the tournament, I didn’t have to give her any advice,” Bryan said. “She had already prepared her game plan and followed it. For the most part, I stayed back and stayed out of the way.”

Faith earned a regional title in her high school debut on Oct. 10 at Council Grove. Hedges admitted the golf course was similar to LCC because of the hills, which allowed her to feel more comfortable and take first out of 35 golfers, shooting an 88.

One week later, Hedges shot a 12-over-par 84, to beat Reagan Boon, of Eureka, and Karee Dinkel, of Thomas More Prep, by three strokes.

Once again, it was her familiarity with a course in Lawrence that led to her success on a completely new course in Garden City.

“It was a lot like Eagle Bend, where if

you missed the fairway, you had grass up to your knees,” Bryan said. “In the practice round she lost some golf balls, but in the tournament she didn’t lose a single ball.

That was huge.”

It was huge achievement for a freshman, but not one that was improbable, because of her background. Bryan playing golf at Lawrence High years ago allowed both Faith and Will to become entrenched in the sport at a young age.

The two regularly hit the local courses and compete in competitive tournaments around the country. Both of them will compete in a

tournament in Florida in January to get ready before the spring season.

Will, a seventhgrader, won a U.S. Kids Kansas City fall tour championship last month among 12-yearolds, carding a 79 in 18 holes at Dub’s Dread Golf Club.

Even in their downtime, the siblings are often drawn to the Golf Channel. They will watch golf movies such as “The Short Game” and “Greatest Game Ever Played,” both of which inspired them.

That sort of dedication has led to early success for both young golfers, and their dad will be the first to admit that it has already surpassed anything he accomplished in his career.

“As they are learning, I’m learning,” Bryan said. “I don’t ever remember winning any tournaments, so she’s already passed me.”

But Faith is not content with just winning one state title.

“I just want to keep improving and learning,” Faith said. “I was a little nervous on the first hole (in state) but after that I got better.”

NBA Roundup The Associated Press

Hawks 110, Cavaliers 106 Cleveland — Dennis Schroder scored a careerhigh 28 points and Atlanta handed the reigning NBA champion Cleveland its first loss of the season on Tuesday night.

Cleveland (6-1) cut a 96-81 deficit early in the fourth quarter to 101-97 on LeBron James’ basket with 3:14 to play. Atlanta scored the next six points, but 3-pointers by James and Kyrie Irving made it 106-103 with 48 seconds left.

Paul Milsap’s basket pushed the lead to five, but Kevin Love converted a three-point play with 25 seconds remaining. Bazemore’s jumper from the corner with 7 seconds left put the game away.

Bazemore scored 25 points while Millsap added 21. Dwight Howard, who received four stitches for a bloody lip in the first half, had 17 rebounds.

Irving led Cleveland with 29 points. Love added 24 while James, who scored two points in the first half, had 23.

Kansas is a mixed bag of those three things, and Bilas believes he knows why.

It was close most of the way, neither team having much luck stopping the other, and New York’s lead was just two after Wiggins’ jumper with 56 seconds left.

unbelievable level of talent in the freshman class that’s coming into college basketball. Their names might not be known yet, but when people see them, they’re going to be blown away by how good these players are and how ready they are.”

KU’s Josh Jackson is a prime example of that, but so, too, is freshman center Udoka Azubuike, who was ranked No. 31 in the Rivals 150 last year.

Bilas’ claim suggests that for every Jackson or Markelle Fultz or Jayson Tatum in this year’s class, there are five or six Azubuikes.

“Nationwide, this is the deepest, most talented

freshman class I’ve ever seen since I’ve been doing this,” he said. “Now, that doesn’t mean that the top five players are as good this year as they were in 2003 or something like that.

Self trust most to defend a quality post man in the event Lucas is sent to the bench by foul trouble?

“Probably Udoka because he could play behind and hopefully wall up,” Self said. “Carlton’s got to get where he can do that. … Mitch isn’t quite ready yet, and Dwight’s not healthy yet, not explosive, so we’re going to have to throw Doke to the fire. We’re going to have to play

four guards, too.”

After reviewing his options behind Lucas in terms of defending the post, Self emphasized one of the many responsibilities the fifth-year senior from Portland will carry into games as those around him grow up.

“Landen needs to stay out of foul trouble so he can play his 25 to 27, 28 minutes a game,” Self said. “He doesn’t have to play 32, but if you

watched our team last year, when we got good, Landen was playing 25 to 30 a game down the stretch. So he’s got to be able to do that for us.”

Bryant, a native of Rochester, N.Y., steadily improved during his freshman season and refined the art of drawing fouls. In three NCAA tournament games, he made 15 of 20 free throws. So Hack-A-Hoosier isn’t a viable option.

a quick little run-pass option for a 6-yard gain, and that was something that told me he was prepared.

He knew where all of his answers were. So it was good to see him do that.”

At least publicly, Beaty made it sound as if Stanley and Cozart would have their chances at Tuesday and Wednesday practices to earn the starting spot.

Presumably, so would sophomore Ryan Willis, a two-time KU starter this season, whose name didn’t come up during the Q & A session.

Cozart’s health could become the deciding factor for Beaty.

Though the coach made sure to point out Stanley has a lot to learn about playing the position

at the college level, Beaty also admitted the 6-foot2 freshman from Vero Beach, Fla. — who has yet to start a game — has “something about him.”

“He’s got kind of a gamer deal to him. He did a good job the other day,” Beaty said. “I fully expect him to be prepared if his number’s called this week. Just how I expect all of them to be prepared this week.”

Ranking Todd Reesing’s successors, from 1 to 9 5 — Montell Cozart: Doesn’t have a natural feel for when to tuck it and run, which is a shame because he’s so fast. Has a strong arm, but has struggled with accuracy throughout his career.

His lone Big 12 victory, 3119 against West Virginia, came when he threw for 61 yards and rushed for 60 as a freshman.

Yards per attempt: 5.7 Touchdowns: 14 Interceptions: 19

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

If Kansas head football coach David Beaty rides the wave Carter Stanley created with an encouraging second-half performance in Morgantown, W.V., and hands him the football Saturday for the 11 p.m. kickoff against Iowa State, Stanley will become the 10th quarterback to start a game for Kansas since Todd Reesing took his skills to the business world.

If Stanley can lead the Jayhawks to an upset of Iowa State, which opened as an 11.5-point favorite, he will move into a four-way tie for first in victories against Big 12 competition during the post-Mark Mangino years.

Here’s how I would rank the post-Reesing starting quarterbacks at Kansas, keeping in mind that the three statistical categories are numbers compiled in games played for the Jayhawks:

1 — Michael Cummings: Short and not a very fast runner, Cummings compensated for his shortcomings with smarts, toughness, decisiveness and leadership ability. In his first game in place of fired Charlie Weis, interim head coach Clint Bowen turned to Cummings at halftime in Morgantown, W.V., and kept him in place for the rest of the season.

Cummings didn’t always make the right decision, but his lack of hesitation injected the offense with missing peppiness.

He led KU to a 34-14 victory against Iowa State, throwing for 278 yards and a touchdown.

His career ended in the spring exhibition of 2016 when in the heat of battle, a teammate tackled him, a no-no for a QB wearing a red jersey, and blew out his ACL. The one chance at a happy Kansas QB story for this decade ended sadly.

Yards per attempt: 6.5

6 — Ryan Willis: Too many sacks and too many turnovers in two weeks as starter earlier this season resulted in him bypassing second string on his way down.

Yards per attempt: 5.9 Touchdowns: 12 Interceptions: 17 7 — Dayne Crist: Billed as the second coming by Charlie Weis, who had recruited him to Notre Dame, it turned out Crist couldn’t walk on water, or even pass on chalked grass very well.

Yards per attempt: 6.1 Touchdowns: 4 Interceptions: 9

ABOVE: KANSAS QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB is sacked by Missouri’s Kenji Jackson in the fourth quarter in the Border Showdown, Nov. 26, 2011, at Arrowhead Stadium.

RIGHT: KANSAS QUARTERBACK QUINN MECHAM is driven to the turf by Oklahoma State defensive end Jamie Blatnick (50) during the third quarter, Nov. 20, 2010, at Kivisto Field.

Touchdowns: 13 Interceptions: 10

2 — Jordan Webb: He wasn’t big or fast or exceptionally accurate, but he was extremely tough. Took so many punishing hits and kept getting back on his feet. Including 38 times in his one season at Colorado, Webb was sacked 90 times during his three seasons as a

college quarterback.

Yards per attempt: 6.2 Touchdowns: 20 Interceptions: 20

3 — Quinn Mecham: The most accurate passer on this list, but also had the weakest arm.

It didn’t take defenses long to figure that out and once they did, he re- 4 — Jake Heaps: Bad fit. It got to where turned to the bench. Also lacked mobility. Still, it almost appeared as if he is only one of three Heaps began ducking
