Kansas University professor who used the n-word during a class discussion about race is on leave while the university investigates a discrimination complaint against her.

Andrea Quenette, assistant professor of communication studies, said she was notified Friday morning that five individuals, whose names she does not KANSAS know, filed a discrimiUNIVERSITY nation complaint against her with KU’s Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access. She said her supervisors agreed to her request for a leave of absence with pay until the investigation concludes.

The formal complaint follows more than a week of public criticism perpetuated by graduate students in the communications department. Students have posted messages to Twitter with the hashtag #FireAndreaQuenette, shared a lengthy letter online and complained about her in a Student Senate meeting Wednesday night.

Sparking their outrage was Quenette’s use of the n-word and statements about retention rates at KU and the concept of systematic racism during her Communications Studies 930 class — focused on best practices for graduate students who teach undergraduate classes — on Nov. 12, the morning after Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo KU’s heated university-wide town hall FIVE KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS have filed a discrimination complaint with KU forum on race. against assistant professor Andrea Quenette, 33, who has been teaching at KU for Please see LEAVE, page 12A two years. They accuse her of using the n-word in a recent class discussion.

For the second time, jurors in a felony murder case against Dustin D. Walker could not reach an agreement after hours of deliberation.

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin declared a mistrial Friday in Walker’s retrial in the shooting death of Patrick Roberts, 39, of Lawrence. Martin did so after the jury foreman told Friday marked the court that “peo- the fourth time ple are pretty much Dustin Walker set” in their differ- has not been ing opinions of what convicted in a happened during the case involving early morning hours a shooting.

Jurors in his retrial for the felony murder charge were not allowed to hear about the disposition of the first trial.

Assistant Douglas County District Attorneys Amy McGowan and Deborah Moody alleged that Walker and co-defendant Archie Robinson kicked the door into Roberts’ home around 3 a.m. on March 8, 2014, pointed a handgun at Roberts’ son and entered Roberts’ bedroom to steal cash or marijuana. Walker then allegedly shot Roberts during the crime.

BRIEFLY Holiday traffic checks planned The Lawrence Police Department this weekend will begin a special traffic enforcement campaign aimed at identifying drunk drivers and those not using seat belts and child car seats. The campaign will last through Nov. 29.

Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said the initiative is part of the statewide “Kansas Thanksgiving Enforcement Campaign” funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation. McKinley said officers will be “focus(ing) on identifying impaired drivers and those not using seat belts and child restraint devices.”

“We’re sort of an umbrella organization for all of these different programs, and we’re working to bring them all together and integrate them and provide new opportunities once we’re on the site,” Hampton said.

The project has already raised about $80,000 for its programming and operating costs and needs to bring in about $50,000 more for renovations to the site, Hampton said.

But defense attorney Blake Glover argues that Walker and Robinson did not break into the apartment but went there to buy marijuana from Roberts, thus nullifying the felony murder charge’s underlying felony of aggravated burglary. Aggravated burglary is when one forces his way into a home without permission while armed, but if Walker and Robinson were welcomed to the home to purchase marijuana, it would not be an aggravated burglary.

As jurors deliberated, they asked the court to hear a read-back of testimony that Roberts’ son, Michael Neis-Roberts, 18, made at the retrial this week compared with his initial statements to police the day his father died about whether a gun was drawn during the defendants’ entry into the home.

At Walker’s retrial, Neis-Roberts testified that he witnessed two men — Walker and his co-defendant, Archie Robinson — kick at the door, then enter, one of them pointing a gun at him. During his police interview, the court reporter said, there was no testimony from Neis-Roberts relating to someone coming in with a gun.

It took jurors on Friday about five and a half hours of deliberations to decide they could not reach a unanimous decision. It took the jurors in Walker’s first trial 12 hours to reach their partial decision.

In March, the jury in the case of Walker’s co-defendant, Robinson, took just one hour to convict him of both aggravated burglary and felony murder. Robinson, Walker’s cousin, was given a life sentence without the possibility of

parole for 20 years.

Counting his first and second mistrials in the Roberts’ case, Friday marked the fourth time Walker has not been convicted in a case involving a shooting. Another jury acquitted him in 2011 on charges connected to his alleged role in a December 2010 shooting at SouthPointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St. In that case Walker was charged with attempted second-degree murder and possessing a firearm as a felon after Darrick Dew was shot during a large party at an apartment.

In 2008, Walker was suspected in a robbery at a Lawrence apartment that resulted in a man being shot in the leg. But in 2011, Douglas County prosecutors dismissed the case before it went to trial. Douglas County District Attorney Charles

Panel recommends no changes to bill dealing with conflicts of interest in schools

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A special legislative committee agreed Friday not to recommend any changes to laws governing conflicts of interest for school board members, effectively killing a bill that was introduced during the 2015 session.

“No, I don’t think the bill is going anywhere,” said Sen. Mitch Holmes, R-St. John, who chaired the Special Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local Government.

House Bill 2345 would have prohibited anyone from serving on a school board if that person is em-

ployed by another school district; has a substantial interest in any business that works with or provides services to any school district in the state; or has a spouse, sibling or other close relative who is employed in any school district or in the Kansas State Department of Education.

A survey of current school board members in Kansas conducted by the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department showed that nearly 41 percent of all current school board members who responded to the survey reported falling into at least one of those categories,

and thus would be disqualified from holding office if the bill were to pass.

“Considering that public education is, I think, probably the largest employer in Kansas, if you were to eliminate all people connected to those employees ... you would eliminate the majority of people in the state of Kansas from being able to serve on a school board,” said Kansas State Board of Education member Ken Willard, R-Hutchinson.

Willard said that in many parts of the state it’s hard enough finding Please see SCHOOLS, page 4A

The Eudora man who strangled his disabled home-care client to death in September 2014 was sentenced Friday to more than 16 years in prison for the crime.

Ronald Eugene Heskett, 49, was accused of twisting a tow- Heskett el around the neck of Vance “Van” Moulton, 65, on Sept. 12, 2014, and asphyxiating him. Heskett was originally charged with firstdegree murder, but jurors found him guilty of the lesser second-degree

murder.

His attorney, Michael Warner, asked Douglas County District Judge Peggy Kittel for a “downward departure,” meaning to sentence Heskett to less time than what the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines suggest for a defendant with Heskett’s criminal history. Heskett was convicted of felony criminal damage to property and misdemeanor trespassing in 1986, moving his suggested sentence from 165 months to 195 months.

SATURDAY COLUMN

KU should set example in addressing diversity issues

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Years from now, maybe sooner, the current environment on American university campuses may be identified or referred to as the “period of demands” or “the ugly years.”

On campus after campus, charges of racism, demands for “inclusion and belonging” training, demands for individuals to resign immediately or face impeachment, charges of discrimination and unfair treatment, votes of “no confidence” in university administrators and elected student leaders, threats by university athletes to refuse to participate in team activities, sit-ins and takeovers of chancellor’s offices and other tactics are being used to try to bring about major changes in traditional values and policies at U.S. universities.

In most instances, those making the demands are members of racial minority groups on the campuses, and most

complaints, charges and demands focus on the belief that those minority groups are not receiving the same attention, consideration or privileges as those in the university’s white community That’s understandable — and likely accurate in many cases — but it’s also probably true that, in some cases, exaggerated and unsubstantiated charges are made. Nevertheless, wrongs or slights need to be corrected.

This is where the question of who calls the shots enters the picture. What is the role of university chancellors and presidents? What about the regents or curators, and do state legislators and taxpayers play a role?

Traditionally, chancellors and presidents have the responsibility of running the academic institution, hiring faculty, running the multitude of academic programs, encouraging student enrollment and

All but two involved entities are on the campus: students, administrators, deans, the KU Endowment Association (representing private fiscal support) and the KU Alumni Association (representing about 40,000 paid members and thousands of other alumni).

The other two entities involved in the extended university family are the Kansas Board of Regents and state legislators.

Taxpayers, parents of current students and parents of potential students also have a major interest in the issues.

The current situation offers an opportunity for all those genuinely interested and concerned about KU to work together to create an environment that serves as a model for other universities to follow.

Why not have KU looked to as a leader, THE leader, in race relations?

people willing to serve on a school board to fill up the seven-seat governing body. He said passage of the bill would discourage even more people from serving.

Most members of the committee seemed to agree with that sentiment, including Rep. John Whitmer, R-Wichita.

“I think it’s a fix looking for a problem, and it’s better handled by local voters,” he said.

Sen. Steve Fitzgerald, R-Leavenworth, was the only member of the panel to suggest that something should be done to tighten conflict of interest laws, not only on local school boards but at all levels of state government.

“It’s something that needs to be constantly looked at, no question there,” Fitzgerald said.

“I’m not trying to point an accusatory finger at anyone. I’m just saying that when we’re looking at conflicts of interest, it is not helpful to say, ‘this is what the law says,’ when in fact we’re trying to decide what should the law say.”

tery charge after stipulating to having “grabbed his wife by the throat and strangled her until she could no longer breathe.”

Kittel sentenced Heskett to 195 months in prison. Heskett has one year and 10 days of time-served credit. He is also eligible for 15 percent good time credit, meaning that if he behaves well in prison, he could be released nearly 30 months early.

During his September 2015 trial, prosecutors presented evidence

to suggest that Heskett killed Moulton, who had cerebral palsy, for a financial motive, pointing to an approximate $13,000 in cash from government refunds missing from Moulton’s apartment.

They also looked at a series of expenditures Heskett made, shortly after the checks were cashed, on a 1972 Chevelle and numerous car parts.

Heskett had claimed since Sept. 22, 2014, that the killing was an assisted suicide. He said Moulton,

of Lawrence, had been persistently asking him to “shoot him” for six months to a year before Moulton’s death. Heskett testified at his trial that the missing $13,000 did indeed go to the car and car parts, but that it was part of a plan with Moulton to “flip” the car and sell it for $25,000.

At Heskett’s sentencing hearing Friday, Prosecutor Eve Kemple read letters from Moulton’s friends to the court. Moulton’s college roommate and friend, Keith Slimmer,

a retired superintendent, said conflicts of interest are rarely an issue on local school boards. And when they do become an issue, board members routinely recuse themselves or abstain from voting.

Jim Kenworthy, a retired superintendent in Sen. Holmes’ hometown of St. John, said the most common issue involves hiring teachers or other employees who are the spouses or other relatives of board members.

Greg Tice, a school board member from the Renwick school district, northwest of Wichita, said that when he first took office he declined to be part of a contract negotiating committee with the local teachers union because his wife was a teacher.

Nobody from the Lawrence school district testified at the hearing, but district spokeswoman Julie Boyle said the district maintains a policy that says board members are not to “influence or attempt to influence the hiring process when a potential employee is a relative or the evaluation process when a current employee is a relative.”

It also says board members are to “avoid being placed in a position of conflict of interest and refrain from using public office for personal or par-

tisan gain.”

The bill appeared early in the 2015 session as a committee bill from the House Judiciary Committee. Although it does not list an author or primary sponsor, minutes of that committee’s Feb. 5 meeting reflect that it was introduced at the request of Rep. Becky Hutchins, R-Holton.

It was later referred to the House Education Committee, which held a hearing on it March 5.

Hutchins did not testify at that meeting, and the minutes of the hearing reflect that only two people spoke in favor of it: Wichita residents Chris Brown and Larry Alley.

The Education Committee never took action on the bill. Instead, House Speaker Ray Merrick, RStilwell, withdrew it from that committee and used a procedural maneuver to ensure it would stay alive into the 2016 session. The subject of school board conflicts of interest was then assigned as an interim study topic for the Special Committee on Ethics, Elections and Local Government.

That panel’s action Friday makes it unlikely the bill will be considered in the coming session.

Health

said Moulton “had the greatest laugh to light up any room.” Another friend, Adam Burnett, said Moulton was a “role model” and he “genuinely cared about other people.”

Burnett, who uses a wheelchair, as Moulton did, said his friend’s murder has shaped the way he views his own homecare attendants.

“I cannot look at (careattendant) workers the same again,” Burnett said.

“We depend on them; we trust them. It bothers me

knowing there is nothing he could have done to defend himself.”

After sentencing Heskett, Kittel acknowledged the judgment would be of little comfort to Moulton’s loved ones.

“No sentence ... will bring Mr. Moulton back,” Kittel said. “People will leave here likely feeling as bad as they did when they arrived.”

Grant recipients

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

All told, 14 grants were awarded, for projects from a garden for every classroom at Hillcrest Elementary School to the addition of a salad bar in the cafeteria at St. John Catholic School.

The city of Lawrence received two grants related to bicycling. One grant will go toward installing four new bike repair stations at the Burroughs Creek Trail, the Levee Trail, the Rotary Arboretum and the Lawrence Public Library Plaza.

The second will help increase bicycle parking and create three bike corrals in downtown Lawrence.

LiveWell also gave out six Culture of Health Action Awards, which recognize people and organizations that work toward the mission of LiveWell Lawrence: making it easier for Douglas County residents to eat healthfully, be physically active and live tobacco-free.

The Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen has all the volunteers it needs for Thanksgiving dinner, board member Deb Engstrom said Monday.

“We have all of our volunteer slots filled,” Engstrom said. “We have servers, we have drivers — that’s all good.”

LINK has served Thanksgiving meals to those who need them since 1985.

Engstrom said she’s not yet sure exactly how many meals the group will serve this year. Last year, however, the group delivered more than 500 meals and served approximately 200 at LINK for a total of 748 meals, she said.

Engstrom said an anonymous donor allows LINK to purchase turkeys, which are cooked by Maceli’s, 1031 New Hampshire St. The rest of the food comes to LINK prepared, she said.

Garden Variety

Jennifer Smith from east Asia and is highly resistant to Dutch elm disease. Bark is cinnamon, gray and silverywhite in patches that are alternately smooth or peeling. Young trees might be overlooked in the nursery because they look a bit weedy, but give them a few years to mature. Mature trees are prone to breakage in ice storms and heavy winds, but the lacebark elm is far superior to the more widely planted Siberian elm.

Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) is usually left from winter interest lists

because it is one of the few needled trees that drops its needles (leaves) in the fall. The bark usually has a beautiful reddish hue in the winter months, however. The color is more intense on younger trees and is mirrored by the color of the fallen needles. Baldcypress is native to the southeastern part of the U.S., including parts of Missouri and Arkansas. Dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is very similar.

Paperbark maple (Acer griseum) is one of the smallest members of the maple family and its bark is cinnamon colored with thin, flaky, peeling sheets. Paperbark maple is native to central China and harder to find in garden centers than other maples simply because it is harder to propagate. It does grow well here and is relatively pest-free.

Kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa) is a small tree

native to east Asia. The bark flakes in irregular green, brown, and gray patches that look a lot like standard military camouflage.

Persian parrotia (Parrotia persica) is sold as a small tree or as a multi-stemmed large shrub. The bark peels and flakes like many of the other mentioned species, with a wide variability in colors.

The flaking also gives this bark some depth and texture. Persian parrotia is native to northern Iran but gaining popularity in the Midwest for its hardiness and multi-season beauty.

Seven-son flower (Heptacodium miconoides) is a large multistemmed shrub with bark that sloughs in long papery strands and is typically reddish-brown.

Seven-son flower is another plant that is gaining

2,500 jobs added in October

The Lawrence-area jobless rate also fell three-tenths of a point, to 3 percent, which was Topeka — The Kansas second only to Manhattan, at 2.7 percent, for economy added 2,500 nonfarm jobs in October, the lowest metropolitan area jobless rate.

pushing the state’s unemployment rate down to 4.1 percent, down threetenths of a point from September, and the lowest it has been since July 2001, the Kansas Department of Labor said Friday.

The report was a rare piece of good economic news in several months for Gov. Sam Brownback, who has promised that his controversial tax policies would eventually spur economic growth in the state.

The Lawrence-area jobless rate also fell three-tenths of a point, to 3 percent, which was second only to Manhattan, at 2.7 percent, for the lowest metropolitan area jobless

rate.

Wichita continued to have the highest rate, at 4.3 percent. That was down from 4.4 percent in September and 4.7 percent a year ago.

But the good news was tempered by the fact that, even with the October numbers, overall job growth for the past year has been a modest 1.2 percent, ranking 41st in the nation, much slower than the national average of 1.9 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

It was also tempered by the fact that the overall size of the Kansas la-

River birch and sycamore are both native Midwest trees.

River birch has bark that peels in large papery rolls while sycamore has smooth light green to white bark that can be seen standing out in the tree lines along the river. London planetree is almost identical to sycamore but more commonly available in garden centers because it is easier to propagate.

Discrimination lawsuit filed against Emporia State leaders Former professor targets four officials still with university

By Margaret Stafford Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — A former assistant professor has filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against four Emporia State University officials, a month after another professor in the same department also sued the Kansas school.

Rajesh Singh, who is Asian, taught at the university’s School of Library and Information Management from 2009 until he was fired in January 2015. His lawsuit names two current administrators in the department, Provost David Cordle and former university president Michael Shonrock. The university will be added to

the lawsuit when Singh’s attorneys receive a right to sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The lawsuit comes about a month after Melvin Hale, an assistant professor in the same department, filed a defamation and invasion of privacy lawsuit against the university.

In the lawsuit, Singh details discrimination and retaliation from department Dean Gwen Alexander and interim associate dean Andrew Smith, who he said were supported by Cordle and Shonrock. He said the discrimination occurred despite his receiving

positive reviews during his first three years on campus.

Singh alleges the discrimination began in 2010 after he asked to be paid the same as two other, newer staff members, including Smith. He said he was actively marginalized and criticized, culminating when all of his fall 2014 teaching assignments were canceled without warning, he was locked out of his office and had all his office contents seized. Singh said he sought to resolve the conflict through personal meetings and the university’s procedures but administrators ignored or disputed his ef-

forts and did not follow the procedures.

The university does not comment on pending litigation, spokeswoman Gwen Larson said. Alexander, who has been on administrative leave for most of this school year, plans to retire next June.

Hale, who is black, alleged in his lawsuit that he was defamed and ostracized after he and his wife complained that someone wrote a racial slur near her office and administrators did not investigate their report of the incident or respond to their complaints. Angelica Hale’s position as assistant to the dean of the library

information department was not renewed after the couple complained.

A university investigation found no evidence to support the couple’s allegations of a hate crime and discrimination, prompting Hale to file his lawsuit.

After that investigation, the university announced several steps to improve diversity and inclusivity on campus, including hiring a facilitator to conduct public forums on the topic.

During the first of those forums Thursday, members of the media were asked to leave after some students expressed concern about their pres-

Methodist, Catholic leaders support Syrian refugees Topeka (ap) — The United Methodist Church in Kansas and Nebraska says 35 congregations are willing to sponsor at least one Syrian refugee family, while leaders of the Catholic church in Kansas urged compassion for the refugees and criticized elected officials who are using the issue for political gain.

Bishop Scott J. Jones, leader of the United Methodist Church in Kansas and Nebraska, said Friday the number of congregations welcoming refugees could increase. The church’s Great Plain Conference in the two states includes 1,032 congregations.

In an address to his cabinet of 17 district superintendents, Jones said the church has long played a role in welcom-

ing immigrants and refugees to the U.S. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback issued an executive order Monday prohibiting state agencies and organizations receiving state money from relocating Syrian refugees in the state. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has urged resettlement agencies not to participate in any efforts to bring Syrian refugees to that state. Individual states do not have the legal authority to block refugee placement, which is managed by the federal government.

Jones called on elected leaders who are Christians to reconsider their opposition to helping Syrian refugees, while acknowledging that the U.S. and other nations face risks from a radical

Juan & auDrey

Juan and Audrey are a bonded pair, so they need to find their new home together. Juan is a 2 year old German Shepherd mix and Audrey is a 7 year old Flat Coated Retriever mix and they both have all black coats. They were left in one of our yards, so we don’t have any history for them. We do know that they are both very sweet and gentle. They should do well in fees are waived for most any home.

Venus

Venus is a cute 2 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix.

She is looking for a home where she will be given the chance to socialize at her pace and learn how to be at ease in different situations.

She will need to meet her new family and any dogs she would be living with, so bring everyone out to meet her and see if she is the dog you are wanting to add to your home.

riVer

River has been living in a foster home for several months now. She has done well and has enjoyed being out of the shelter. She is a pretty brown Pit Bull Terrier mix and is only 3 years old. Her foster dad takes her on runs everyday and spends a lot of time showing her off around town.

She has proven herself to be a dependable and steadfast friend, but she needs her forever home.

MoTh

If we gave out a mother of the year award to the mama cats that have come in this year, Moth would win without question. She is a 1 year old Domestic Short Hair with grey tabby markings.

While she and her kittens were in foster care, she was attentive and loving to her babies and anyone who was willing to give them what was needed. Now she’s ready to be on the receiving end of some TLC.

movement within the Muslim community.

“In that war, one of the strongest things we can do is to show that America is a country which welcomes refugees who flee the evil and terror of jihadists in their countries and where freedom of religion is respected,” he said.

Also Friday, the Catholic Bishops of Kansas issued a statement that said the plight of Syrians must not be ignored in reaction to last week’s attack in Paris.

“Our great country has long been a beacon of hope for the oppressed peoples of the world,” the statement said. “What a terrible tragedy it would be for humanity if America suddenly became a country that turns away even women and chil-

dren fleeing the horrors of war and terrorism.”

The bishops said they didn’t deny the seriousness of the terrorism threat and the possibility that someone who wants to harm the U.S. could infiltrate this country through the refugee program but “given the scale of human suffering in Syria and the security measures in place to scrutinize refugees, we believe the resettlement should continue.”

The statement also said it was “sadly evident” that some people are using the situation for political gain. It said the bishops hope and pray that all elected officials respect each other’s sincere concerns and “act with common good, and not political opportunism, in mind.”

Kansas reservoir dredging price tag is $20 million Burlington (ap) — Kansas is spending about $20 million to remove sediment from the reservoir that serves as the primary water source for a nearby nuclear power plant and several communities.

The project seeks to remove about 3 million cubic yards of sediment from the bottom of John Redmond Reservoir, which provides water for the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant and for several communities.

The dredging process is expected to take about a year.

The Army Corps of Engineers says the project is the first of its size for a corps res-

WiLson

At some point in his young life, Wilson was a puppy and undoubtedly a cute one. Now he is a handsome yellow Labrador Retriever and is a little over 1 year old. He has experience with other dogs and cats, but we aren’t sure about children.

His high energy and good nature will help him in the years to come. With some obedience training and some patience from you, he has the potential to be an amazing dog.

kiT

By the time this goes to print, there may not be many of these sweet cherubs left, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to share this little face. Kit is part of a litter of 9 week old Pit Bull Terrier mix puppies.

They came in with their mom and have been in foster care for about 2 weeks.

She is as sweet as they come and so are her adorable siblings.

sir MeoWser

Do you like your cats big soft and fluffy?

Then you need to meet Sir Meowser. He is a 1 year old Domestic Long Hair with brown tiger markings and some extra white mixed in.

He came in as a stray, so we don’t have much information on him. We don’t know if he gets along with other cats, but we would be happy to talk to you about doing the introductions.

ence. The school’s counsel said the media should be admitted and allowed to attend a second forum Thursday. University officials attributed the disagreement to a lack of communication.

Another forum is scheduled for Dec. 3, with an equity and inclusion summit scheduled for the next day. Larson said the media will be allowed into those meetings. The school will work with students to help them understand the role of media and also will provide an alternative way for students to add their comments without speaking in front of the media, she said.

ervoir and could serve as a model for other reservoir dredging projects in Kansas and around the U.S. Mike Abate, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chief of civil works for the Tulsa district, said “I think a lot of people across the nation will be watching how this goes, seeing if it brings life back to a reservoir.”

The Kansas Water Office says the dredging project is being paid for with money borrowed through 15year bonds.

The state’s water office reports sediment has filled in more than 40 percent of the lake.

Lily is a 4 year old Domestic Short Hair gray tabby who spends her time hanging out with her buddy Leo and the rest of the cats in Catopia.

LeMMing

We have 2 litters of puppies this week. This little cutie is an 8 week old Boxer mix and she has lots of brothers and sisters. They came in with their mom (Chloe is still available) when they were about 2 weeks old.

He is a handsome fellow with a brown brindle coat and would do fabulous in a home without children under the age of 10. He would be a great dog to take on daily runs and then come home to a soft bed or couch. Cats are not an issue for him, but a meet with other dogs is recommended.

Dear Annie: My husband and I raised my three children with very little help from their birth father. He paid no child support and rarely visited them.

Of course, now that the children are adults, Dad is back in the picture. My children are so hungry for what they feel they missed that they’ve left me behind in the dust. I do understand this on a primitive level, yet it hurts.

I would like people to think about how much care is required to raise a family. That “father” didn’t take you to the doctor or any of the other necessary appointments. He didn’t go to your school activities and conferences. He didn’t support you as he should have, emotionally or financially. He didn’t have to instill discipline. Now you think

he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. — Left Behind Dear Left Behind: You have a good grasp of your children’s emotional need for their biological father, even though he abandoned them. Try to look on the bright side of this — he may turn out to be helpful and loving now that the kids don’t require so much effort from him.

Consider this a benefit for your children. Kids can never have too many

Jim Henson meets Lifetime Christmas movies come in many flavors, but Thanksgiving movies, what few of them get made, all seem to have the same theme. They usually revolve around family discord and dysfunction brought into focus by a self-involved character’s reaction to the somewhat forced togetherness the holiday requires.

The best of the Christmas genre tend to glow with a holiday cheer laced with nostalgia that does not merely transcend economic woe, but requires it.

Thanksg i v i n g movies teach us that materialism and plenty cannot shield us from heartache if our emotional priorities and familial relations are out of joint.

Based on a script by the late creator of both “The Muppets” and “Fraggle Rock,” “Jim Henson’s Turkey Hollow” (7 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG) offers the latest variation on the Thanksgiving fugue. It also gives Lifetime a chance to air a Hallmark movie, a tale of city sophisticates made better by the slow-lane values of country living.

A newly single workaholic dad (Jay Harrington) drags his children to his eccentric aunt’s (Mary Steenburgen) remote country house for the holidays. He says they need “togetherness” after the divorce (a word he can’t use), but he’s really counting on Aunt Cly to baby-sit while he works through the long weekend.

For reasons that make no sense whatsoever (except, perhaps to producers, agents and focus groups), the rapper Ludacris appears, to introduce the film on-screen and provide narration.

As if to prove how quickly Thanksgiving movies are forgotten, NBC airs “Free Birds” (7 p.m., TV-PG). In this 2013 cartoon comedy, intrepid turkeys embark on a time-traveling rescue mission to the year 1621 to change history and save their feathered friends from becoming a holiday dinner tradition. The voices of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler, George Takei and Colm Meaney animate this film that most critics found overdone.

Tonight’s other highlights

An elf convinces a woman

to keep her aunt’s holiday hostel running in the 2015 fantasy “Northpole: Open for Christmas” (7 p.m., Hallmark) starring Lori Loughlin, Bailee Madison and Dermot Mulroney.

Lost in space on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America, TVPG).

Fisher discovers her blood connection to the grim doings on “Ash vs. Evil” (8 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

Berg and Jerome shed light on the fate of Victor’s family on “The Returned” (9 p.m., Sundance, TV-14).

people in their lives who love them. Keep in mind that once the novelty wears off, the kids will see Dad more clearly.

Please don’t express hurt or dismay that they long for Dad’s company.

Dear Annie: I work in a small department within a larger corporation.

One of my co-workers is a rather large gentleman who has bad body odor.

I am a larger gal myself, and I sweat more than others. I know this, so I bathe daily and use antiperspirant.

He works with the public, and I can’t help but wonder what kind of an impression he leaves. I am not the only one who

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Nov. 21: This year you often find that you are overtired and perhaps too focused on work. Make a point of letting go more often. If you are single, someone who enters your life could be very important to you.

If you are attached, the two of you have a great time together, but you often need to get away together to fully appreciate the bond.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might feel a bit off as you change gears to weekend mode. In the morning, someone could describe you as irritable.

Tonight: Carry on.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be surprised by everything you hear. Take time to complete a project. Tonight: Keep your whereabouts hush-hush.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might feel as if your actions won’t make much of a difference. Curb your frustration.

Tonight: Where the action is.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone at a distance. You tend to accept a lot of responsibility that others won’t.

Tonight: Out and being noticed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Speak to people who can help you get past an immediate problem. This type of contact is important. Tonight: Be near live music.

Should our supervisor say something? Please help. — Suffocating Dear Suffocating: Some body odors are hard to control, so it’s best not to make assumptions. It’s possible that this man bathes daily and wears deodorant and it still isn’t enough.

It could be his laundry detergent, shampoo or soap, or even an ineffective deodorant.

Someone needs to talk to this co-worker and suggest that he speak to his doctor. The supervisor is the best one to do this, making it an issue of office professionalism and not personal judgment.

One-on-one relating allows you to connect with certain people on a much more intimate level than usual. Tonight: Out with a special person.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others could be unusually challenging, which might trigger some anger on your part.

Tonight: Let someone else run the show.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a project on the back burner that you need to work on. You might find that you are sitting on a lot of anger. Tonight: Rent a movie.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your adventurous style encourages you to take strange risks. You might want to say “no” to more wild decisions for now.

Tonight: Add more spirit to the moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Stay close to home, knowing that you would like to cocoon for a little while. Tonight: Try a new neighborhood hot spot.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll speak your mind and get plenty of feedback from a friend. Tonight: Hang out at home.

World needs plan for Mideast after ISIS Washington — French President Francois Hollande has announced that his country is at war with the Islamic State, and America is surely part of that conflict, too. What the warfighters need urgently is a road map for the future, after the terrorist group is defeated.

Planning the shape of the postwar Middle East may seem like a fantasy right now, when the extremists are widening their fight. But it’s a crucial exercise for the broad coalition fighting the Islamic State, which includes Russia, Iran and most Sunni Arab countries, as well as the U.S., France and most of the rest of Europe. Toppling the extremists will only add to the chaos in the Middle East unless there’s agreement about how to fill the vacuum in Syria and Iraq.

To guide this strategic planning, it’s useful to look at five dates that marked the end of other convulsive conflicts: 1648, 1815, 1919, 1945 and 1989. Four of them created durable new frameworks that addressed the causes of instability. One, however, set in motion the disaster of the modern Middle East. Let’s quickly review these five peace agreements. In each, there’s a lesson for today: l The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 is probably better known than the obscure conflicts it resolved, which are collectively described as the Thirty Years’ War. Many analysts have likened this Catholic-Protestant fratricide in Europe to the Sun-

Toppling the extremists will only add to the chaos in the Middle East unless there’s agreement about how to fill the vacuum in Syria and Iraq.”

ni-Shiite sectarian inferno in the Middle East.

The Westphalia settlement went to the heart of Europe’s disorder by creating a system for sovereignty in which each ruler could determine the established religion of his state. By embracing the idea of noninterference in others’ affairs, the treaty is often thought to mark the creation of the modern nation-state.

Westphalia may seem irrelevant to a region where borders appear to be dissolving. But it embodied mutual respect and selfdetermination — two ideas the modern Middle East badly needs. l The 1815 Congress of Vienna rebalanced Europe after the upheaval that followed the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. Henry Kissinger

explained the essence of the diplomatic breakthrough in his doctoral dissertation, published in 1954 as “A World Restored.”

The agreement brought stability by reconciling the interests of the rising powers of 1815, such as post-revolutionary France and an expanding Prussia, with those of the status-quo powers, Britain and Austria-Hungary.

Today’s Middle East needs a similar framework for security — a structure that balances the interests of the status-quo monarchy in Saudi Arabia and those of a still-radical Iran. The recent Syria peace talks, which have brought Saudis and Iranians together in (yes!) Vienna, may be a beginning. l The 1919 Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, but it arguably created the torment of the modern Middle East. The victorious colonial powers, Britain and France, carved up the former Ottoman Empire along the boundaries they had sketched in the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement. The new nations of Syria, Iraq and Lebanon were a patchwork of different religions and ethnic groups.

The colonialists administered this jumble through “divide and rule” tactics, but the boundaries created a perpetually messy (and repressive) era, post-independence.

The historian David Fromkin memorably described the Versailles pact as “A Peace to End All Peace” in his book by that title. The lesson for today: If the 1919 boundaries survive, they should serve as borders for de-

centralized, federal states. l If today’s strategists are truly ambitious, they should look at how America shaped the 1945 peace agreements that ended World War II. The U.S. began planning in 1944, when eventual German and Japanese defeat looked likely. By the time the war ended, the foundations had been laid for the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.

The coalition fighting the Islamic State should be similarly farsighted. Their goal should be a structure for modern governance and economic development that can stop the rot in the Middle East. l The last pact worth pondering, as we think about what would replace the Islamic State, is the Taif Agreement of 1989 that ended the 14-year Lebanese civil war. Taif created a balance of power among Lebanon’s warring sects — “no victor, no vanquished” was the guiding principle. Shiites got more power, Christians maintained their overrepresentation. An Arab force (unfortunately run until 2005 by Syria) maintained order. The structure proved surprisingly stable.

The battle against the Islamic State offers an opportunity to fix what has been broken for nearly a century. The coalition needs drones and fighter jets, but it should also consult some history books.

PUBLIC FORUM

Lesson of history To the editor: I am angry at Gov. Brownback and the other governors who will refuse Syrian refugees. My anger stems from when I was a child during World War II and Americans of Japanese descent were taken from their homes, lost their property and were housed in stables and, later, camps in desolate places.

I lived in northern Colorado, and the governor of Colorado, Ralph Carr, thought this was immoral. He refused to send any Colorado citizens of Japanese descent to camps and welcomed any others who could get to Colorado. I remember the little Japanese kids coming into our classrooms. They were scared, confused and, because mostly they were coming from California and this was Colorado, they were cold. Unlike the Syrians, they at least knew the language. While people like Payne Ratner, then governor of Kansas, said no Japanese would cross his borders (where have we heard that?), Gov. Carr stood firm. But he never won another election.

Northern Colorado benefitted.

In my hometown, doctors, dentists, nursery owners, a family that has the biggest agricultural business in the county, are all of Japanese descent.

I’m sure there is a chance that extremists can sneak in, just as there was a chance that the Japanese were spies (although they never found any) and of course they should be vetted (although not to the extent that the children grow old and die while waiting), but I think in the name of what is right we have to take the chance.

Quick response To the editor: On Thursday, Nov. 12, I had a car stolen from my car store — broad daylight, open hours, my mechanic and I both on site. I had a car warming up for a test drive scheduled soon. The perp (I’ve read some crime novels) cased my area and, when I went inside, casually jumped into the car and drove away.

Upon calling 911, I had an immediate police response of several officers and two plain-clothed detectives. Luckily, there were two security surveillance cameras viewing the area of the theft so the officers and detectives had an im-

mediate description of the thief.

Within 30 minutes, the car was located, parked not far away, luckily undamaged. However, the car thief was gone from the area. I was able to retrieve my auto quite quickly. Within another 30 minutes, an officer returned to let me know the thief was apprehended.

Turns out he was walking down Sixth Street, not far away and, upon being recognized, took off running.

The two detectives, a female and a male, heroically gave chase ACROSS Sixth Street in afternoon traffic, tackled, struggled with and ultimately handcuffed the suspect. Due to rapid and incredibly efficient service from our Lawrence Police Department, I got my car back, the suspect is in jail and I sold the car that afternoon!

Thanks to our local law enforcement for another job well done.

David Rueschhoff, Lawrence

Real climate threat To the editor: I disagree with the editor’s premise that the U.S. cannot effectively screen Syrian refugees entering our country (“Naive thinking,” Nov. 18 editorial). Furthermore, I’m disappointed with the many elected leaders, including Gov. Brownback, whose response is to turn victims of persecution away. That is not leadership of which we should be proud.

Whether the refugees are a real or a perceived threat will continue to be debated. Climate change, however, is a real threat that over 97 percent of climate scientists are convinced is caused by our burning fossil fuels.

In fact, military planners consider global warming a threat multiplier.

Consider again the waves of refugees invading Europe because of a conflict exacerbated by extreme drought in Syria, a trend that is bound to worsen.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris begins on Nov. 30.

The hope is that the conference will culminate in a global agreement on climate change with the nations of the world making commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The United States can lead the way by enacting legislation that places a steadily rising fee on carbon with revenue returned to households.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 21, 1915: “Declaring that he was unalterably opposed to military preparedness as outlined in the President’s speech before years the Manhattan club, Governor Arthur Capago per last night addressed a congregation at IN 1915 the Christian church which filled every seat and overflowed into the hallways. ‘The program of preparation for war is un-American and un-democratic,’ Governor Capper declared, ‘and I believe that the majority of the people in Kansas are against it. Never in history has the country been in less danger of war…”

Social media campaign Jyleesa Hampton has been one of the main tweeters for #FireAndreaQuenette.

Hampton, a first-year communications graduate student, is not in Quenette’s class but did sign the letter demanding her termination. Hampton said after the Nov. 12 class several students immediately rushed to her office to tell her what had happened.

“People talked about being scared to return to class, scared to have her in charge of their grades,” Hampton said.

Hampton said the group took to social media to ensure they were taken seriously.

“My concern was that the university or the department may try and sweep this under the rug or not take this seriously because we are students,” Hampton said.

“Social media is a powerful force to bring awareness to instances of racism.”

Investigation open Quenette said the social media campaign has been “very hurtful.”

Fearing she could lose her job, Quenette said, she hopes to secure an attorney to represent her in KU’s investigation process, and her husband set up a “Go Fund Me” account online to help raise money they need to hire one.

“The current political climate, the nature of the situation, the seriousness of the allegations that have been put forth, I’m in the spotlight and under tremendous pressure,” Quenette said.

Administrative leave means that Quenette is relieved of all teaching and service responsibilities and will remain off campus until the investigation is complete, university spokesman Joe Monaco said. He said such leave is often used “to address substantial disruptions to the learning environment or concerns about individuals’ welfare while IOA conducts its investigation.”

Monaco said IOA’s investigation of Quenette will determine whether the behavior in question violated KU policy and the Faculty Code of Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct.

Where is the line between free speech in the classroom and inappropriate speech?

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, speaking generally Friday in a separate interview with the JournalWorld, said that’s difficult to define and can depend on a lot of nuanced factors, down to the goal of the class and a faculty member’s student relationships.

“I don’t think it’s possible to draw that line in a clear way that everyone will agree that this is on one side and this is on the other,” she said. “I don’t think we’re going to get a bright line.”

Volkswagen emissions scandal spreads German automaker admits 3-liter diesel vehicles affected Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Volkswagen Group’s emissions scandal grew Friday as the Environmental Protection Agency and California regulators said the automaker had admitted that its 3-liter diesel vehicles from the last seven years had violated clean-air standards.

Regulators said company officials acknowledged Thursday in a meeting that emissions violations

the EPA had previously alleged — most from the last couple of model years — go much further.

Now it includes all Volkswagen and Audi U.S. vehicles with 3-liter diesel engines from the 2009 to 2016 model years, the regulators said.

That covers 85,000 vehicles in the U.S., EPA spokeswoman Julia Valentine said in an email.

Dave Clegern, spokesman for the California Air Resources Board, which has jointly investigated the violations along with EPA, said in an interview that

The latest accusation extends the VW scandal to heftier vehicles, including the Touareg.

Volkswagen had admitted to installing “alternate exhaust control devices” in the vehicles.

The agencies are testing the vehicles to determine whether the equipment qualifies as socalled “defeat devices,” which the company has admitted it installed on up to 11 million diesel cars worldwide to cheat emissions standards.

In a separate announcement Friday, the company said it was slashing spending on new products, factories and initiatives by $1.1 billion a year.

AMERICAN CITIZEN, TWO ATTACKERS AMONG DEAD; OTHER HOSTAGES FREED Soumaila Diarra and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

BAMAKO, MALI Malian security forces, aided by U.S. and French special forces, ended a sevenhour siege Friday at a Radisson Blu hotel Friday that left at least 27 hostages and two alleged Islamic extremists dead, according to a U.N. official.

The U.S. Department of State confirmed that an American citizen is among those who were killed.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because a search operation was continuing, said 12 bodies were found in the basement and 15 were found on the second floor, according to The Associated Press.

U.N. Mali mission spokesman

Olivier Salgado said two extremists were killed and forces were going from room to room, checking for more casualties.

Saldago said the assault began around 7 a.m. when at least two men armed with AK-47 rifles drove up in a vehicle bearing diplomatic plates, which helped them get by normal security checks on the grounds. The hotel was hosting a diplomatic meeting at the time.

The men began firing their weapons and rushed into the hotel, he said.

Mali’s Security Minister Salif Traore said special forces had gone “floor by floor” to free the hostages, many of whom were barricaded in their rooms in the luxury hotel, a popular meeting spot for foreigners.

Security ministry spokesman Amadou Sangho said some gun-

men were holding out on the top floors long after the hostages were freed, according to Reuters.

Al-Mourabitoun, an al-Qaedalinked group in northern Mali, posted on Twitter it was behind the attack, according to Reuters.

The claim could not immediately be verified.

U.S. special forces troops assisted Malian forces in rescue efforts, said Col. Mark Cheadle of the U.S. Army’s Africa Command.

A U.S. military official said at least six Americans in the hotel were evacuated, according to the AP. One of the hostages who was rescued, noted Guinean singer Sékouba “Bambino” Diabate, told Reuters he overheard two of the assailants speaking in English as they searched the room next to his. “We heard shots coming from the reception area. I didn’t dare go out of my room because it felt like this wasn’t just simple pistols — these were shots from military weapons,” he said.

Citing Chinese diplomats in Mali, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said about 10 Chinese citizens had been sheltering inside their rooms, AP reported. All are employees of Chinese companies working in Mali. Five Turkish Airlines personnel were among the freed hostages, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported.

Air France said on Twitter that 12 crew members, including two pilots, were also freed.

French President Francois Hollande offered military support to the former French colony.

France sent at least 40 members of the French National Gendarmerie Intervention Group, according to Pierre-Henry Brandet, the spokesman for the French Interior Ministry.

Mali, a West African country with more than 15 million people, was a French colony until 1960.

Muslims represent 90% of the population, according to GREAT economic research institute in Bamako.

In 2012, the northern part of Mali fell under the control of groups linked to al-Qaeda in the Magreb. France launched a military offensive in 2013, driving out those groups, but large areas of the country remain lawless.

In August, 13 people were killed when gunmen attacked a hotel in Severe in central Mali.

Obama appeals immigration ruling to Supreme Court

Request cites challenge to deferred deportation plan Kevin Johnson and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

The Obama administration appealed to the Supreme Court for an expedited review of its plan to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Friday’s request, outlined in a 35-page court filing, asserts that the case “warrants immediate reWASHINGTON

view” because of an “unprecedented and momentous” ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit earlier this month that upheld a challenge to the deferred deportation plan brought

by Texas and 25 other states led by Republican governors.

“If left undisturbed, that ruling will allow states to frustrate the federal government’s enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws,” the Justice Department said. “It will force millions of people ... who are parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents to continue to work off the books, without the option of lawful employment to provide for their families.”

The appeal sets up the possibility of a major legal battle over immigration at the end of President Obama’s tenure, in the midst of partisan battles over Syrian refugees and in the midst of a caustic presidential election campaign.

Arguing that the federal appeals court ruling this month had “farreaching and irreparable humanitarian impact,” administration lawyers said the lower court decision bars an estimated 4 million parents “who have lived in this country for years, would pass a background check, are not priorities for removal and have a son or daughter who is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.”

Obama unveiled the program exactly a year ago as an extension of his 2012 policy delaying the threat of deportation for about 770,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children.

The coalition of Republican governors had argued Obama lacked the authority to protect about one-third of the nation’s undocumented immigrants by executive fiat. The authority that the administration claimed, the court said in a 2-1 ruling, would allow it “to grant lawful presence and work authorization to any illegal alien in the United States.”

Texas has a month to respond,

and the justices could take up the request in January — barely enough time to schedule the case for oral arguments in April and a decision by the end of June. That is the scenario the administration seeks; a decision reversing the appeals court would give the Department of Homeland Security seven months to begin implementing the policy before Obama’s term ends in January 2017.

Nations agree to tighter European border controls Death toll rises to 130 in Paris attacks that prompt latest action Kim Hjelmgaard and Katharine Lackey USA TODAY

European countries agreed to new measures to tighten borders across the region Friday as France marked one week since the deadly Paris terror attacks left at least 130 dead.

European Union ministers at an emergency meeting in Brussels discussed stiffer controls, including for the Schengen area, where passport-free travel is allowed for citizens of 26 out of the 28 member nations of the political bloc. New steps include stricter passport checks and crackdowns on weapons trafficking, The Washington Post reported.

France has been calling for its European partners to dramatically toughen EU borders to prevent more terrorist attacks. “We can’t take more time. This is urgent,” Bernard Cazeneuve, France’s interior minister, said in Brussels on Friday. “Terrorists are crossing (EU) borders,” he said.

The development came as the French Senate approved a mea-

sure extending France’s state of emergency for three months. The National Assembly passed the measure Thursday. The move allows authorities to conduct a stop and search, and to ban large public gatherings.

While talking to the Senate about the measure, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls announced the death toll from last week’s attacks rose to 130.

Meanwhile, the Paris prosecutors office said a third body was found overnight at an apartment where suspected terror mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed during a raid by security forces. The body had not been identified.

The office also said authorities’ initial theory that a woman — Hasna Aitboulahcen, Abaaoud’s cousin — blew herself up as police stormed the apartment early Wednesday appears to be incorrect. On Friday, prosecutors confirmed Aitboulahcen was killed in the raid but was not a suicide bomber, AP reported.

An intense international manhunt remains underway for Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in last week’s attacks that also left hundreds wounded. Nearly 800 raids have been conducted by French security forces since the attacks, which were claimed by the Islamic State.

Once again, Ebola reappears in Liberia Nation has twice been declared free of the deadly disease Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Health officials in Liberia on Friday reported a new case of the deadly Ebola virus more than two months after declaring the West African country free of the disease for a second time.

Liberia, one of three West African nations at the center of the worst outbreak of the disease in history, was declared Ebola-free first on May 9 and again on Sept. 3, according to the Associated Press. More than 10,600 cases and 4,800 deaths were recorded in the outbreak there, according to the World Health Organization.

The latest case is a 10-year-old boy who lives in the Paynesville district of Monrovia, said Francis Kateh, chief medical officer and acting head of Liberia’s Ebola

Case Management System. Kateh said the boy was being taken to a treatment center outside Monrovia, the AP reported.

The newest case comes just days after authorities in Guinea reported that the last known patient with the disease in that country, a 3-year-old girl named Nubia, had recovered. That was thought to be the potential end of the unprecedented two-year epidemic across West Africa that left more than 11,300 dead.

A country is declared Ebola free when 42 days pass — twice the virus’ 21-day incubation period — with no new cases.

On Thursday night, before the new case was reported, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf declared victory over the disease in a speech praising “the resilience” of Liberians in overcoming Ebola.

“Without the individual and collective support and cooperation of all our citizens and residents, it would have been difficult to defeat this scourge,” Sirleaf said.

How VW’s emissions scandal mushroomed Chris Woodyard l USA TODAY

Volkswagen Group’s troubles escalated again Friday as the Environmental Protection Agency said more vehicles as far back as the 2009 model year with 3-liter diesel engines have been found to violate Clean Air Act standards.

Here is a chronology of how the scandal has unfolded: Sept. 18 The Environmental Protection Agency accuses Volkswagen of deliberately rigging 482,000 VW and Audi cars with 2-liter, 4-cylinder engines with a “defeat device” to evade Clear Air Act standards.

Software was inserted into cars to let them perform better on emissions when they detected they were being tested.

Sept. 21 Volkswagen, in admitting to cheating, apologizes. CEO Martin Winterkorn says he is “deeply sorry” for violating U.S. emissions standards and ordered an external investigation. The German automaker ordered its U.S. dealerships to stop selling cars impacted by the probe until its engineers can deliver a fix.

Oct. 7 Volkswagen Group’s finance chief and prospective chairman, Hans Dieter Poetsch, warns managers that the automaker’s diesel-emissions scandal poses “an existence-threatening crisis for the company.”

OCT 8 Volkswagen’s U.S. CEO, Michael Horn, apologizes before a congressional subcommittee for his company’s decision to rig diesel cars to beat emissions tests. He admits it’s “hard to believe” top VW officials didn’t know about the scam.

Oct. 26 Toyota recaptures the title of world’s largest automaker from Volkswagen in the third quarter of 2015.

Sept. 22 Volkswagen says the emissions scandal isn’t just limited to the U.S. but involves 11 million vehicles worldwide. It says it will cost an estimated $7 billion to fix the cars.

Nov. 2 EPA accuses of VW of installing emissions “defeat devices” on about 10,000 recent model SUVs and additional luxury cars with a 3-liter diesel engine, not just 2-liter engines previously implicated.

Sept. 23 Winterkorn resigns.

Nov. 4 Volkswagen implicates gas engines for the first time, saying it has found “irregularities” in emissions on about 800,000 cars worldwide, adding an estimated $2.2 billion to the automaker’s tab to make amends. None are in the U.S.

Martin Winterkorn, left, stepped down as CEO. Matthias Mueller replaced him.

Sept. 25 Volkswagen appoints Porsche brand chief Matthias Mueller as the automaker’s new CEO. Also, EPA says it will begin road tests of all new vehicle models to double- check them for emissions and to find any other cheating.

Nov. 10 Volkswagen offers $500 Visa debit gift cards and $500 dealership credits to U.S. owners of cars equipped with software that cheats emissions regulations. No strings attached, the company adds.

Nov. 20 EPA says Volkswagen found more vehicles with 3-liter, V-6 diesel engines that violate clean air standards, reaching as far back as the 2009 model year. The automaker also says it is slashing its capital spending by $1.1 billion annually.

Home demolitions provoke Palestinian backlash Netanyahu utilizes tactic after months of attacks on Israelis Shira Rubin

Special for USA TODAY

On Oct. 13, Alaa Abu Jamal rammed his car into a crowded Jerusalem bus stop and used a meat cleaver to hack to death a 59-year-old Israeli man.

In response, Israel ordered the military to raze three residences in his family’s apartment building in an impoverished area of East Jerusalem.

The home demolition is a tactic that the Israeli government has revived to punish families of alleged Palestinian terrorists and deter future attacks. It also is highly controversial. Some Israelis question its effectiveness as a deterrent, and Palestinians say such inflammatory moves only encourage retaliation.

That appeared to be the case Monday, when Palestinian demonstrators clashed with Israeli forces in a West Bank refugee camp after the soldiers arrived to demolish the home of a Palestinian in prison who the army said fatally shot an Israeli hiker in the West Bank this past summer.

Palestinians threw firebombs and rocks as the Israeli forces demolished the home, and troops fired rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the protesters, the military said. Palestinian Health Ministry spokesJERUSALEM

ALAA BADARNEH, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Mourners carry the body of Laith Manasrah, 21, on Monday.

He was killed during a home demolition protest that day.

man Mohammed Awawdeh said two Palestinians were killed. The army said Palestinians opened fire and Israeli forces returned fire.

Shafiq Rabaya, head of the Jabel el Mukabber local council, said that in demolishing residences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “playing with fire, turning this into a religious war.”

Ruth Edwards of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions said such drastic steps ensure that the Israeli occupation of the West Bank “is a permanent presence in people’s daily lives, that there’s always a sense of instability, of insecurity.”

Israel frequently demolished homes during a Palestinian uprising in 2000 to 2005, but it disavowed the practice as violence waned and a 2005 military commission concluded that punitive demolitions were unsuccessful in achieving deterrence.

Netanyahu revived the tactic last year after the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. That crime prompted a revenge murder of a Palestinian teenager in East Jerusalem and helped spawn a war between Israel and Hamas, the militant group that governs the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu seems determined to employ whatever tools he can find to address the situation. “Nobody will have immunity, anywhere,” he told an emergency Cabinet meeting last month in addressing two months of vio-

lence that has led to the deaths of 17 Israelis and 82 Palestinians, 52 of them alleged by Israel to be attackers, according to an Associated Press tally.

Relatives of Abu Jamal, the meat cleaver assailant, say Israeli measures such as home demolitions only have a boomerang impact by underscoring what many see as a long history of Israeli oppression and fomenting a desire to retaliate.

On Oct. 6, a week before Jamal’s rampage, Israeli forces flattened the home of a cousin who last year attacked a Jerusalem synagogue with a pistol and a meat cleaver, killing four worshipers and a Druze policeman.

“We had already forgotten about the attack but when they came to destroy ... the home, boom! Israel brought it back to us,” said Rabaya, the local council head.

As the home was being demolished, Abu Jamal confronted Israeli security officers, who beat him and sent him to hospital for injuries on the arm and shoulders, according to a cousin, Muawiyah Abu Jamal.

“It certainly hurt his sense of pride to be beaten in front of his children, who saw him as a hero,” Muawiyah said.

Then on Oct. 9, four days before his meat cleaver attack, Israeli soldiers denied Abu Jamal entry to the holy al-Aqsa mosque for his weekly Friday prayers, citing growing Palestinian unrest.

“Al-Aqsa was a red line for him,” cousin Muawiyah said.

Leaflets prompt ISIL oil truckers to scatter Pentagon acknowledges drops are showing desired effect Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

Leaflets warning truck drivers in Syria to flee tankers used to transport oil stolen by the Islamic State appear to have persuaded them to abandon their rigs before they were destroyed, according to the Pentagon.

The leaflet drop is a rare example of U.S. propaganda efforts that produce immediate, measurable results and one of the few that the Pentagon acknowledges. The military has had a number of leaflet drops in Syria, several urging young men not to join the Islamic State, or ISIL. But officials refuse to say what, if any, positive effect those efforts have generated, contending that divulging such information could endanger intelligence sources.

The leaflets were dispersed 45 minutes before the U.S. attack, mounted by A-10 attack planes and AC-130 flying gunships. The WASHINGTON

DEFENSE DEPARTMENT

Leaflets used in attack on Islamic State convoy.

warplanes destroyed 116 tankers near the eastern Syrian city of Al-Bukamal. The attack is part of an expanded effort by the U.S.-led coalition to block revenue ISIL generates from oil it steals from wells it seized when it swept through Iraq and Syria last year. In 2014, ISIL banked $100 million in oil, according to the U.S. Treasury.

In civil-war-wracked Syria, drivers smuggling oil can make a small fortune. A truck carrying a full load could net the driver as much as $5,000.

One leaflet shows burning tankers and figures running from the wreckage. “Oil trucks are being destroyed because buying his oil is the lifeblood of Da’ish,” says the message, in Arabic, using another name for ISIL. “Leave the trucks and flee.”

Another leaflet warns that all oil facilities controlled by ISIL could be attacked.

Warplanes made low passes over the trucks, fired weapons near them and dropped the leaflets before attacking, said Army Col. Steve Warren, spokesman

McCain questions Trump’s fitness as commander in chief GOP’s ’08 nominee says Paris attacks should reshape debate for 2016 Susan Page USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Senate Armed Services Chairman John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said Thursday that the Paris attacks should magnify the importance of national security in the 2016 campaign — and he questioned GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s qualifications for the job of commander in chief.

The political landscape should shift in the wake of the Islamic State assaults last week that left 130 dead in the heart of Europe, the Arizona senator told Capital Download.

“I think that credentials, knowledge and background and experience in national security should be a much more important factor in the decisionmaking the voters will make,” McCain said, touting in particular South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, whom he has endorsed.

Asked about Trump’s approach and credentials to be commander in chief, McCain scoffed. “Just to say that you’re going to solve the problem with ISIS by just bombing the hell out of them, I think the voters deserve more specifics rather than these kind of platitudes that I’m sure make for great sound bites, but I don’t think have anything to do with seriously addressing the challenge.”

“quickly and decisively bomb the hell out of ISIS.” The spots are running in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina — the states slated to hold the opening three presidential contests next year.

That said, McCain told USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series that if the 2016 choice next November turns out to be Trump vs. Democrat Hillary Clinton, “I vote for the Republican nominee, obviously. I am a loyal Republican.”

McCain, one of the most powerful voices in Congress on national security issues, was caustic toward President Obama for a series of what he called “cardinal

mistakes” that had contributed to the rise of the ISIL in Syria and Iraq, among them failing to arm Syrian rebels or to take action when Syrian President Bashar Assad crossed a “red line” in using chemical weapons.

McCain proposed a series of specific steps, including deploying 10,000 U.S. troops to the region as part of an international coalition and establishing a no-fly zone. But he said Obama hadn’t called to ask his advice, and he doubted whether the president would consider taking it.

“I’m afraid he is doubling down on what has clearly been failure,” he said.

for the U.S.-led coalition.

Drones captured imagery of drivers abandoning their trucks.

“We know the leaflets worked,” Warren said. “Using overhead (surveillance) we observed drivers departing their trucks and flashing their lights to warn others.”

Beyond saving the lives of the truck drivers, the leaflets aim at persuading them to look for another line of work, said Nicholas Heras, a researcher in the Middle East Security Program at the Center for a New American Security.

They link the oil truckers to ISIL, crime and terrorism, Heras said. The warning also shows the Americans are merciful, unlike ISIL. “Third, by dropping a leaflet with the maps of eastern Syria and the smuggling routes, it states loudly that the U.S.-led coalition knows the terrain better than the smugglers themselves, and that if any smuggler chooses to ignore the U.S-led coalition’s warning, they cannot run, and they cannot hide,” Heras said.

MORE FROM JOHN MCCAIN In an interview at his Senate offices, McCain also: uEndorsed a House bill that would impose stricter background checks on refugees from Syria and Iraq to prevent terrorists from being resettled in the U.S. “We have to build confidence in the American people that this is not a threat, and if we have a system that would prevent that, then we have to show it to the governors and to the American people.” uDescribed as “unpresidential” Obama’s mocking comment that Republicans who wanted to suspend the refugee program were “afraid of widows and orphans.” McCain, calling the remarks a “temper tantrum,” said, “What the president should be doing is rising above it, going directly to the American people, rather than getting into a food fight with some members of Congress.” uRejected the idea, broached by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a 2016 GOP candidate, of allowing only Christians in as refugees from the region. “This idea of Christians only in my view is un-Christian,” McCain said.

“What about Jews? What about Buddhists? What about anybody else? That to me is slightly offensive.” uSaid it would be “a terrible idea” to forge an alliance with Russia in Syria, a step proposed by some in France. “Russia wants to maintain dominance in the region. They want to protect their base. They also want to keep Bashar Assad in power, and they’re working closely with the Iranians. All of those are in direct contravention to United States interests there.”

French President Francois Hollande is to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow next week.

IN BRIEF CAPITOL GYROCOPTER PILOT PLEADS GUILTY FRIDAY

The Florida postal worker who landed a gyrocopter on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol in April to call attention to government corruption pleaded guilty Friday to flying without a license.

Douglas Hughes, 62, initially faced six criminal charges and nearly 10 years in prison for flying the one-person helicopter down the National Mall before landing at the Capitol on April 15.

He pleaded guilty to flying without an airman’s certificate, a felony carrying a maximum three years in prison and $250,000 fine, for altering the aircraft to be heavy enough and travel far enough for the FAA to require a pilot’s license.

Hughes also agreed to forfeit the aircraft to the government as part of the plea deal.

Several major insurers Friday suggested profits are on track, fueling a rebound in health care stocks a day after the abrupt reversal of fortunes at the nation’s largest insurer focused scrutiny on a key pillar of Obamacare.

UnitedHealth Group’s threat to stop offering insurance through the public exchanges amid steep losses came a month after the company expressed optimism about its Affordable Care Act exchange offerings.

The company’s about-face — which could force more than a half-million consumers to find new plans after 2016 — sparked a re-examination of the prospects of other insurance giants.

But several cautiously optimistic statements by insurers fueled a rally in health care stocks Friday, a day after UnitedHealth’s remarks prompted a sharp decline in insurance industry shares.

The iShares U.S. Healthcare Providers ETF rose 2.4% Friday after plunging 4.2% Thursday, and the SPDR S&P Health Care Services ETF rose 2.1%. UnitedHealth’s shares closed up 2.1% after losing 5.6% Thursday.

Mario Molina, CEO of insurer Molina Healthcare, whose stock tumbled 11% on Thursday after the UnitedHealth revelation and then regained 6.3% Friday, told USA TODAY he found the Unit-

edHealth fallout “a little puzzling.” Molina has about 225,000 customers in Obamacare exchange plans. “And that has been a profitable line of business for us, although it is a small part of our business,” he said. “I can’t really explain why they’re having difficulty. I just know that it’s been a good product for us so far.”

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday, insurance giant Aetna confirmed that it expects to meet its full-year operating earnings targets, suggesting the company is not absorbing the kinds of losses UnitedHealth blamed for its reconsideration of Obamacare.

To be sure, however, Aetna had already announced plans to withdraw from several state exchanges in 2016. And Aetna Chief Financial Officer Shawn Guertin told investors last week the company’s Obamacare plans were unprofitable in 2015.

But Guertin said Aetna is raising rates in the low-double-digitpercentage range on Obamacare plans in 2016 to improve the company’s financial performance.

“We can make inroads into this business in 2016,” he said.

An Aetna spokesperson told USA TODAY the CFO’s remarks remain representative of the company’s outlook. Aetna shares, which had fallen 7% Thursday, closed up 4.6% Friday at $104.43.

Like UnitedHealth, Aetna’s Guertin also raised concerns about a trend of consumers using the “special enrollment” period

allowed by Obamacare to buy insurance outside of open enrollment periods and then drop coverage after they’ve received certain procedures.

The insurers blamed that nuance for draining profits — because they must pay the costs of care without reaping premiums when patients are healthy.

PARTIAL RECOVERY Health-care sector stocks partially recovered from Thursday’s hit, all posting Friday gains: Thursday Friday Two-day Stock change change change Tenet Healthcare -8.0% 3.1% -5.2% Aetna -6.5% 4.6% -2.3% Anthem -6.9% 2.7% -4.4% HCA -6.9% 3.1% -4.0% UnitedHealth -5.6% 2.1% -3.6% SOURCE: USA TODAY RESEARCH

“The degree to which we’re seeing that is far more elevated this year,” Guertin said. “That’s certainly one of the things that we’ve spent a lot of time looking at and needs to be thought through about this program.”

Molina told USA TODAY his company is “watching that very carefully” but hasn’t yet noticed a problem.

U.S. Department of Health & Human Services press secretary Ben Wakana said in an email that a “statement by one issuer is not indicative of the marketplace’s strength and viability.”

Experts say Treasury proposals too weak to block Pfizer’s plan Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

The Obama administration’s new effort to block corporate tax inversions is unlikely to block the potential merger between U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and Ireland-based rival Allergan, tax experts and financial analysts say.

Characterizing the latest rules proposed Thursday by U.S. Treasury officials as less restrictive than anticipated, the experts also predicted other tax inversion deals would also go forward.

“I don’t think it would derail this particular deal,” Blank Rome law firm tax partner Joseph Gulant said Friday of the expected Pfizer-Allergan merger, potentially the largest tax inversion to date. “In the absence of legisla-

Pfizer eyes a merger with Allergan in order to benefit from Ireland’s lower tax rate.

tion that significantly changes the landscape, there are going to be more deals like this.”

Similarly, Morningstar’s Pfizer analyst Damien Conover said his preliminary view is the rules “will not stop” a Pfizer-Allergan deal.

Tax inversions typically involve a U.S. company buying a foreign firm based in a low-tax nation and then reincorporating there — while keeping domestic operations largely unchanged.

Following the example of fastfood company Burger King, pharmaceutical firm Mylan and other U.S. firms that completed inversions, Pfizer on Oct. 29 confirmed “preliminary friendly discussions” with Allergan about a possible merger. The deal, if completed, could enable the New York-based company to trade the 25.5% effective tax rate it reported in public filings for a roughly 15% rate in Ireland.

Pfizer and Allergan declined to comment.

The proposed rules would limit U.S. firms from combining with foreign firms that don’t have tax residency where they’re based, restrict companies from inflating the size of the new foreign corporate parent and make other changes aimed at making inversions harder to achieve and less profitable.

The new rules and inversion regulations Treasury issued in September 2014 generally would apply to deals in which U.S. firms

own 60% or more of the newly created foreign-headquartered companies. Pfizer, with a market cap of roughly $200 billion, is larger than Allergan and its approximately $122 billion market cap. Nonetheless, Pfizer is expected to own less than 60% of the combined new company.

Declining to comment specifically on Pfizer-Allergan talks, a senior Treasury official said the latest proposal did not target specific mergers.

The companies’ investors appeared to have few worries about the restrictions. Allergan shares closed up 3.5% at $312.46 Friday, while Pfizer shares closed down 0.3% at $32.18.

Lee Sheppard, a specialist in taxation of multinational corporations, said the federal statute governing tax inversions is weak.

But the Treasury Department “has the power to write retroactive rules that would treat Pfizer as a U.S. company even after an inversion.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

Wall Street is a tough place, where a stock can go from hero to zero in an instant. Sometimes the 180-degree shift is in the other direction. Take Keurig Green Mountain this week.

Tuesday, the maker of specialty single-serving coffee’s stock was a train wreck. The shares dropped 10% to the lowest level since the beginning of 2013 after research reports warned investors to brace for bad news in the company’s upcoming earnings report for its fiscal fourth quarter.

Stifel Nicolaus warned that decelerating volume growth and increased competition in Keurig’s K-Cup coffee pods and underwhelming results for the Kold cold beverage system would likely NEW YORK

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

cause Keurig’s earnings to come in at 65 cents a share for the quarter — 6 cents less than the consensus estimate. Stifel also said Keurig stock’s fair value was in the “high $30s’’ vs. its previous estimate of $45.

Wedbush Securities also cited weak K-Cup trends when it cut its estimate to 71 cents a share from 74 cents and dropped its price target for the stock to $50 from $60, Benzinga reported.

Burrito chain tries to weather E.coli outbreak Q: Is Chipotle a sick stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: There’s nothing like an E. coli outbreak to rattle a restaurant stock. Shares of Chipotle are making investors sick as evidence shows the food-borne illness issue is broader than expected.

Shares of the burrito chain sank $75.32, or 12%, to $536.19 Friday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned cases of E. coli among Chipotle customers has spread to six states. The problem was thought to be mostly in the Pacific Northwest and Minnesota, but the CDC added California, New York and Ohio to states with cases.

Stocks that are 68% pricier than the market can’t make mistakes like this.

The company’s stock is now down 22% this year and has lost nearly a third of its value from its highest level over the past 52 weeks.

Analysts are sticking with the stock for now, betting Chipotle will make food safety improvements. Analysts are calling for the stock to be worth $740.60 a share in 18 months, which would be a 38% jump from current levels.

Despite the current issues, Wall Street still thinks Chipotle customers will line up for their tacos and push the company’s revenue up 14% in 2016 to $5.4 billion. Adjusted profit is expected to jump 18% in 2016 to $20.33 a share.

Novartis agrees to pay $370M penalty for pharmacy kickbacks Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Excedrin, Ritalin and other popular drugs, agreed to pay $370 million for providing kickbacks to pharmacies to push its drugs on patients.

Novartis paid the fine in a deal announced Friday to settle a civil fraud lawsuit filed against it by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.

Bharara’s office said Novartis’ scheme, which started in 2007, NEW YORK

involved two drugs, including Exjade, which is used to reduce iron overload in patients receiving long-term blood transfusions.

Starting in 2007, sales of Exjade fell below internal targets due in part to side effects that were “more frequent and more severe than initially expected,” the U.S. Attorney said. Exjade can cause kidney and liver failure.

To increase Exjade sales, Novartis pressured several so-called specialty pharmacies to hire or assign nurses to call patients and, under the guise of education or clinical counseling, encourage them to order more refills, Bhara-

ra’s office said.

In January 2008, for example, specialty pharmacy Accredo provided Novartis with a call template the nurse at Accredo would follow to cajole patients to take Exjade, according to Novartis’ statement of admission. That template directed the nurse to tell patients why Exjade was important for their treatment, but it did not suggest a discussion of the risks involved.

Novartis pressured the pharmacies by threatening to terminate or reduce its relationship with them, according to Novartis’ statement of admission. Novartis

also doled out rebates to pharmacies that met certain shipment goals — an arrangement that remained in place until March 2012, the admission statement said.

Specialty pharmacies focus largely on medications for people with serious conditions such as cancer, organ transplants or HIV/ AIDs. They have come under scrutiny lately for their ties to drug makers. Drug maker Valeant, for example, recently cut ties with specialty pharmacy Philador after it was revealed Valeant had an undisclosed option to buy the pharmacy company.

In a statement, Novartis said it will implement certain agreedupon controls “to ensure appropriate support for patients, and compliance with all federal health care program requirements related to its interactions with specialty pharmacies.”

Novartis “is committed to high standards of ethical business conduct and has a comprehensive compliance program in place to help ensure we consistently act in a responsible manner,” the statement said.

Novartis is the U.S. affiliate of Basel, Switzerland-based Novartis AG.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

In his new book, Burt Reynolds talks about movies, women and the roles that got away.

Actor writes about regrets, sex appeal and life as an icon Patrick Ryan

@PatRyanWrites USA TODAY

I

NEW YORK

n 1957, Burt Reynolds was captivated by a “mature, beautiful woman” with a “low, whiskey voice” whom he met at a party in Manhattan. She invited him home at the end of the night, but he sheepishly declined.

“I didn’t know it was Greta Garbo,” says Reynolds, 79, peering from behind pink-tinted glasses and lounging in his hotel suite. “I should’ve written her a note and said I was foolish, because I would’ve given anything for a second chance.”

Such droll recollections of Hollywood yesteryear are par for the course in Reynolds’ new memoir, But Enough About Me (Putnam), which spans the actor’s half-century career in front of and behind the camera.

Reynolds was a top box office draw in the 1970s and ’80s with hit movies such as Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit and Hooper, and he earned his first and only Oscar nomination in 1998

for Boogie Nights. He flaunted his sex appeal in 1972, posing rakishly on a bearskin rug as the first male nude (well, nearly) centerfold in Cosmopolitan magazine — a choice he describes in his book as “one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made.” And he recounts intimate moments with icons: playing poker with Elvis Presley, being mobbed by fans with Marilyn Monroe, and even fielding accusations from the Godfather himself that he was trying to look like Marlon Brando.

“I tried to include everybody who gave me a break and helped me along the way, and people who were (mean),” Reynolds says.

“You can’t not do that if you’re going to say this is real. Everybody isn’t nice to you, and there were people who were pretty rough on me. It could hurt you enough to make you want to find a different line of work.”

Among the less-flattering depictions: ex-wife Loni Anderson, with whom he adopted a son,

Quinton. Their messy divorce was tabloid fodder in the 1990s.

Asked how Anderson might react to the book, Reynolds says: “I don’t think she’ll be surprised. I just talk about her spending habits. She went through a lot of American Express cards I have.”

But as he has gotten older, “I think better of her now. It’s always a two-way street.”

Reynolds also devotes a chapter to ex-girlfriend Sally Field, his Smokey co-star. He calls their failed relationship “the biggest regret of my life” and faults himself for not making it work.

“I would’ve been better when I was grown up and a lot more mature,” he says. “I was pretty wild.”

Reflecting on his career, Reynolds says his best film was the 1972 Oscar-nominated wilderness thriller Deliverance.

Reynolds kicks himself for some of the roles he turned down, such as Jack Nicholson’s characters in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

GILBERT CARRASQUILLO, WIREIMAGE

and Terms of Endearment, and Richard Gere’s part in Pretty Woman. “They all would’ve changed my career, without a doubt,” Reynolds says. “I would’ve been offered all kinds of roles. You know, how much can you do in a Smokey and the Bandit?”

Other notable characters he dismissed include Han Solo in the first Star Wars and James Bond after Sean Connery retired as 007.

Reynolds told producer Cubby Broccoli that an American couldn’t play Bond because “the public won’t accept it.”

“It was a stupid thing to say,” Reynolds says now. “I could’ve done it, and I could’ve done it well.”

Reynolds has primarily appeared in low-budget movies and TV shows in recent years. He lives in Jupiter, Fla., where he teaches classes at the Burt Reynolds Institute for Film & Theatre. “It’s a rough time for me,” he says. “I’m at that age where people are dropping over, and I’m very hurt by it.”

As for how he’s feeling, Reynolds says he’s holding up and is mostly bothered by aches and pains from years of doing his own stunts.

“That was a stupid, macho, B.S. thing, but now I’m paying for it,” Reynolds laughs. “I’d find myself saying to the director, ‘I can save you three shots and I’ll do this.’

They’d look at me like, ‘Are you crazy?’ And I’d say, ‘Yes, I am.’ ”

Some of the top new TV shows this fall are gaining similar traction on demand, with cable systems increasingly offering ways to catch up.

But low-rated newcomers including Fox’s horror comedy Scream Queens and FX’s violent period drama The Bastard Executioner also are among the top draws on demand, according to new data from Comcast, the country’s largest system, which claims 42% of cable subscribers and more than half of their videoon-demand (VOD) usage.

NBC’s Blindspot, the top new show this fall, also is tops on demand, with 3.2 million views for any of the first four episodes in Comcast homes, which would translate to about 6 million nationally. It’s followed by ABC’s Quantico (3.1 million); Queens (2.8 million); CBS’ Limitless (1.7 million); and Bastard (1.4 million).

But there are big differences in

VIRGINIA SHERWOOD, NBC

Blindspot, with Jaimie Alexander, left, and Marianne JeanBaptiste, is the top new show and also tops on demand. how the viewing pie for these shows is split. Among adults ages 18 to 49 who watched Blindspot within three days, 45% saw it live, 20% watched it on DVRs and 35% used Comcast’s VOD to catch up. Compare that with Bas-

tard: Just 26% watched it live and 30% used DVR playback, while 45% of adult viewing came from on-demand activity (though not enough to keep the show from being canceled this week).

While the number of homes

with DVRs has topped out at about 50%, VOD usage is rising.

Comcast says 70% of its digital subscribers use it monthly, for an average of 19 hours. About 40% of such viewing is of broadcast and basic cable series, and 32% is of premium channels such as HBO. “The argument is becoming less and less about how on-demand is hurting DVRs,” says Steve Meyer, Comcast vice president of video strategy and analysis.

Networks prefer VOD to DVRs because viewers can’t skip commercials. And like DVRs, VOD viewing within three days is counted in Nielsen ratings.

But Meyer says VOD allows fans to more easily discover new shows from the beginning, and says African-American households and families with children are its most frequent users.

By offering full seasons on demand, viewers can catch up on new shows and become converts.

He says ratings for such shows in homes served by Comcast are higher than in other homes with more limited VOD selections.

CLASS 6A STATE FOOTBALL SEMIFINALS

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Finish doesn’t diminish season Derby — Smashed in the mouth by a rough early-season schedule, Free State High was one of the last four Class 6A football teams standing before losing to Derby High, 35-14, Friday night in the wind and chill that stung not nearly as deeply as the loss.

Firebirds coach Bob Lisher, who has taken five of his past 10 teams to the semifinals, will summon the path this team took when talking to future squads about never getting discouraged, never listening to external and internal voices of doom when adversity surfaces.

“This team came from an 0-3 start and got themselves into the state semifinals with an opportunity to go to the championship game,” Lisher said. “I mean, it’s a great year. We’re sad now, but it’s a great year. We had a great year. They’ll look back on it and understand it was a great year.”

It included an eight-game winning streak that was snapped Friday by a relentlessly feisty Derby team that featured fast, clever play-makers on offense and tough, quick, energetic defenders.

Free State senior Sam Skwarlo didn’t have room to run to his usual productive day carrying the ball, but led the team with 12 tackles, playing his heart out in the finale of a terrific career.

It says a lot about a football team to start a season 0-3 and rattle off eight consecutive victories from there.

“It says that we never stopped fighting, just like tonight, even though it didn’t exactly show on the scoreboard,” Skwarlo said.

“We fought all year long.

We could have laid down and died after the first three games. We didn’t. We turned it around the next week, got on a hot streak, and it just didn’t go our way tonight. That’s football.”

Losses such as this hurt so much not only because they deny a team a shot to play for the state title, but for seniors it means they must part ways with teammates whose camaraderie they enjoyed daily.

“This was the most special group that I’ve ever seen,” Skwarlo said. “We had not as much talent as everyone else. Everyone said we weren’t going to be that good.”

They were very good, especially a defense that, with Lisher coordinating, pitched back-to-back shutouts late in the season. Senior defensive linemen Jalen Galloway had another active night, consistently getting behind the line of scrimmage and finishing with six tackles.

He was sad to see it end and gracious toward the triumphant opponent.

“I’m going to (hold onto) the memories I had from freshman year on,” Galloway said. “This is all my family here. We might

The Panthers were just too fast, too strong and too determined.

The Firebirds were held to a season-low 220 yards of offense and just couldn’t keep pace with Derby in a seasonending 35-14 loss at Panther Stadium.

Free State’s strong run game was blown up with tackles in the backfield. On pass plays, FSHS senior quarterback Bryce Torneden was chased around the pocket and dragged down when he tried to scramble.

The Firebirds punted or turned the ball over on downs on their first seven possessions. “(Derby) did a lot of things well,” FSHS coach Bob Lisher said. “They were quicker than us. They were a bit more

physical than us up front. I didn’t think they (would be) looking at them on film, but obviously they were.”

Trailing by 14 points in the fourth quarter, Free State’s defense forced three straight three-and-out possessions, trying to help the offense find its rhythm for a potential comeback.

But scoring quick touchdowns was too tough against Derby’s defense, along with throwing into the wind. The Firebirds only had three first

downs in three drives in the fourth quarter, including a 27-yard run by senior Jack Flynn on a fake punt.

“We were just trying to figure out how we could attack their defense,” Lisher said.

“Whatever we tried, they had an answer for.”

The Panthers (11-1) scored on their first drive of the second half. Senior dual-threat quarterback Brady Rust connected with junior receiver Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3C

Smithson gives KU’s defense big lift

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S FISH SMITHSON, LEFT, chases down Oklahoma State’s Raymond Taylor on Oct. 24 in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

When former Kansas University linebacker Ben Heeney played his final game as a Jayhawk, it left a huge void in the Kansas defense.

Heeney, a fifth-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in last spring’s NFL Draft, led the Jayhawks in tackles for three consecutive seasons, from 2012-14, averaging 109 stops per season. With nearly all of KU’s veteran defense heading out the door with him, filling that role as KU’s tackle master became one of the biggest questions

surrounding the program during the offseason.

Thanks to junior safety Fish Smithson, it has been answered with an exclamation point.

Through 10 games, Smithson leads the FBS in both solo tackles (78) and solo tackles per game (7.8). His 100 total stops rank second in the Big 12 to Texas Tech linebacker Micah Awe’s 102, but Awe has recorded his total in one more game.

Given the fact that Smithson has tallied double-digit tackle numbers in seven

Father explains Greene’s 6-game suspension

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Lahaina, Hawaii — Kansas University’s basketball team will be without junior guard Brannen Greene for the upcoming Maui Invitational.

KU coach Bill Self anPlease see KEEGAN, page 3C nounced Friday that Greene

did not make the trip to Hawaii with his teammates and will serve a six-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team.”

Greene practiced Friday morning with the squad and reportedly had a good practice. However, he remained in Lawrence while the team took a charter flight to Maui.

Self said Greene will resume practicing with the squad when the team returns from Hawaii.

Greene’s dad, Jeffrey, on Friday night stressed the suspension had nothing to do with any troubles with the law.

The suspension, Jeffrey explained, had to do with

his son expressing displeasure after being pulled from Tuesday’s KU-Michigan State game shortly after entering the contest in the second half. Greene said something to the coach after leaving the game.

Also, there was a debate Please see GREENE, page 3C Greene

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Self plans to keep KU busy in Hawaii

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

FREE STATE SENIOR SAM SKWARLO BRINGS DOWN DERBY SENIOR RUNNING BACK KRISTIAN BREEDLOVE (3) after a short gain in the Panthers’ 35-14 victory in a Class 6A state football semifinal on Friday in Derby.

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Kenyon Tabor for a 37yard pass on third-and-11 to keep the drive alive before Rust ran into the end zone for a four-yard touchdown.

Rust ran for 135 yards and three touchdowns on 34 attempts, and he tossed for 219 yards and a touchdown.

“I thought we did pretty well on their quarterback in the run game,” FSHS junior linebacker Jay Dineen said. “He threw the ball pretty well.

Just a couple big plays, and we’re still in that game.”

Late in the third quarter, desperate for offense, the Firebirds kept their offense on the field for a fourth-and-two from their own 31-yard line.

Torneden picked up the critical first down with an eight-yard run, and four plays later, Torneden ran for a 45-yard touchdown along the Free State sideline.

“Somebody has to step up,” said Torneden, who ran for 94 yards. “I think I’m that guy. I wanted to provide for my team. I felt like I could do it.”

But Derby’s defense buckled down.

The Firebirds (8-4) turned the ball over on downs at midfield in the fourth quarter, and Torneden was intercepted on a pass deep in

not be blood, but all of us were family here. We lost tonight, but Derby was an amazing team. Their quarterback had some quicks, and their O-line was amazing. I really enjoyed playing against them.”

Skwarlo said, “I’ll remember the team dinners, the team stuff

FSHS territory in the final minutes.

“I thought we played well enough defensively to compete,” Lisher said.

“We just couldn’t get anything going offensively.”

The Firebirds were held to just five rushing yards on 14 carries in the first half.

But even with the offense struggling, junior cornerback Zack Sanders made sure the Firebirds

found their way onto the scoreboard. After watching the Panthers complete short passes to move down the field, Sanders jumped a route, grabbed an interception and returned it 46 yards for a touchdown midway through the second quarter.

“We thought they were going to be running deep routes, but they came out and ran little hitches all day long,” Sanders said. “Coach told me to play up. I knew he was going to throw it to my side eventually, so I just jumped the pass and read the quarterback’s eyes.”

The Panthers responded by taking advantage of the Firebirds’ aggressiveness. Right after Sanders’ interception, Tabor used a double-move along the sideline, faking a hitch before running a deep route, for a 43-yard completion. On the next play, senior running back Kristian Breedlove ran for a 17-yard touchdown, giving the Panthers a 14-7 lead.

After forcing a threeand-out punt on the next possession, the Panthers added a three-yard touchdown run by Rust.

“We couldn’t get it going on offense, and that resulted in what happened,” FSHS senior running back Sam Skwarlo said.

The Panthers will face Blue Valley (10-2) in the 6A state championship at 1 p.m. on Nov. 28 at Emporia State University.

we did off the field. The bond with these guys, it can’t be broken. I love these guys.”

Free State has one of the most consistent football programs in the state, forever showing significant in-season improvement and performing well in the playoffs.

The Firebirds made it to a state-championship game once, in 2008, losing to Junction City, and are seeking their first state title.

“We’ve been right there. We’ve just got to finish,” Lisher said. “To get to this point is tough, but I sure would like to get to the final one more time.”

Free State squeezed so much more out of this season than anyone had any right to expect and ran into a better team Friday. Once the pain of the loss fades, pride will be the prevailing sentiment for all involved in an inspirational season.

Lahaina, Hawaii — It’s off to paradise for Kansas University’s basketball players and coaches, who Monday through Wednesday will be representing the school at the Maui Invitational for the third time under head coach Bill Self.

The Jayhawks placed second in 2011-12, beating Georgetown, 67-63, and UCLA, 72-56, before falling to Duke in the finals, 68-61.

In 2005-06, KU lost to Arizona, 61-49, and Arkansas, 65-64, before crushing Chaminade in the seventh-place game, 102-54.

Self has learned it’s better to take care of business on the court while games are in session, then have the players have some fun in the sun all day Thursday before flying back to Kansas later that night.

“We’ll practice Saturday and Sunday and play Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thursday will be the day off,” said Self, whose Jayhawks flew charter out of Topeka at 9:30 a.m. Friday.

“They’ll have some time (today). After that (players) will be basically be locked up until Thursday.”

It’s a fine balance between business and pleasure, with business by far the most important aspect of the trip.

“The things you do when you aren’t playing is what gives you a chance to win, which is getting treatments (for aches, pains), getting off

after the game between player and coach in the locker room. Jeff said he knows this because he and his wife were called to the locker room and witnessed the postgame discussion. He said he wished he hadn’t been a part of the locker-room discussion.

Jeff, Brannen and other family members on Friday were quite upset with speculation on social media that Greene in some way broke the law and thus was suspended.

Jeffrey tweeted to fans that the reason for the suspension was “absolutely nothing unlawful of any kind. So stop (speculating)!”

your feet and staying focused,” Self said. “That’s not the easiest thing to do when you look out your window and all you see is blue (Pacific Ocean).

“Everybody of course will want to be down on the beach. You have to limit their activity until the tournament is over,” he added.

In the past, some players have snorkeled, some used the boogie board and rode waves and some even went parasailing on the Thursday day off before returning home.

“I’m excited, just being there with the team, bonding,” KU sophomore guard Devonté Graham said. “My mom and family will be there. They get to see us play. Being able to see them will be fun,” he added, noting on Thursday he’d like to “go to the beach, chill, relax, have some fun.”

Self said: As a team, we’ve got to get better in a lot of areas. No better place to get better than Hawaii.”

The Jayhawks will meet Chaminade at 8 p.m., Central time, Monday.

If KU wins, it would meet the winner of Monday’s UNLV-UCLA game at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Finals are 9 p.m. on Wednesday.

The other side of the bracket pits St. John’s against former KU assistant coach Kevin Stallings’ Vanderbilt Commodores and former KU All-American Danny Manning’s Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Indiana (on Monday).

“Kevin Stallings was a long-time assistant with Roy (Williams) and Danny is probably our most popular KU player ever,” Self said, “and also a really good coach.

It’ll be fun if you are a KU fan.”

He also tweeted: “Rumor has it B’s suspension centers around playing time debate. All those other rumors are not true! No drugs or violations.”

Jeffrey told the JournalWorld: “My main focus is my wife and I did not enjoy the number of screen shots we were getting based on drug behavior or domestic violence or DUI, things like that. It was so open and causing my family concern across the country because they follow that stuff. I know it had nothing to do with that.

“The issue came about during the game in the second half and escalated in the locker room and parents were brought in to bear witness to it. The suspension is unfortunate for Brannen. He wants to play ball. On the court he’ll fight a lion for the

basketball. He wants to get it done, wants to help the team.”

Greene has made it clear in his KU career he’d like extended minutes.

“Brannen wants to play. Coach Self is the head coach and decides who gets what minutes.

Coach wants him to shut up (ostensibly about playing time). If you get six games, I think the kid will get the message. It’s just unfortunate, really unfortunate.”

Jeffrey said Brannen at this time was focusing on returning to practice when the team gets back from Hawaii.

“We heard today from one of the coaches he had a great practice. Coach Self had a great talk with him and he’s back on track and all that good stuff,” Jeffrey said.

l

More on Maui: KU, by the way, has been to the Maui Invitational five times in history.

Larry Brown’s Jayhawks opened the 1987-88 NCAA title season by beating Chaminade, 8962, in the season opener, then losing to Iowa, 10081, and losing to Illinois, 81-75.

That’s right, KU went 1-2 in Maui to open that title campaign.

“Coach Brown wasn’t very happy with ’em. He told them (players) he was going to make them swim back,” Self said.

Williams’ Jayhawks won the event in 1996-97.

KU beat LSU, 82-53; California, 85-67; and Virginia in the finals, 80-63. KU won the Big 12 that 34-2 season, but was knocked out in the Sweet 16 by Arizona.

In 2001-02, Williams’ Jayhawks lost to Ball State, 93-91, in a stunner, then beat Houston, 95-78 and downed Seton Hall, 80-62. That KU team went 33-4 and reached the FInal Four. l

Diallo update: Friday morning, before KU left for the Hawaii event, Self said in a release that a waiver was granted to allow Cheick Diallo the opportunity to travel with the team, and that the NCAA case is ongoing.

Ball security is crucial

Start fast

Kick coverage key

Heading into its Nov. 14 game against West Virginia, Texas had turned the ball over just seven times in nine games. But the Mountaineers forced UT into five turnovers in their 3820 victory, and those miscues played a huge role in West Virginia’s second consecutive Big 12 win. “I think it will be a fun match-up because it’s both teams that value possession and getting the ball out,” KU coach David Beaty said. “We’ve got to do a great job of managing that this week. They’re too good. You can’t give away a possession and expect to win the game against these guys.”

While all of these 11 a.m. games have taken their toll on the KU tailgating scene, they almost always give the home team the advantage. Today’s game marks KU’s final shot at capitalizing on that, and it’s important the Jayhawks show up at Memorial Stadium awake and ready to roll. Two years ago, when KU ended its Big 12 losing streak with a 31-19 win over West Virginia, the early-morning kick lulled the Mountaineers into a rough game. Other teams have suffered the same fate in the recent past and nearly been knocked off by Kansas in the process. A fast start — which means early points on offense and a turnover or couple of three-and-outs on defense — could turn up the pressure on the Mountaineers and give KU the confidence needed to pull off the upset.

In a perfect world, Kansas would kick off a lot in this one, because a high number of kickoffs means a team is scoring points. Even if that happens, though, the Jayhawks have to be aware of the Mountaineers’ dynamic kickreturn game. Led by Jovon Durante (24.9) and Shelton Gibson (30.2), WVU’s special-teams unit features three players who average 20 yards or more per kickoff return. The team’s average of 26.2 yards per return ranks first in the Big 12 and 11th nationally. WVU also is one of just three Big 12 teams to have returned a kickoff for a touchdown this season. KU ranks second in the conference in kickoff coverage at 19.8 yards per return.

WEST VIRGINIA (5-4, 2-4)

During each of his past two games — both Big 12 Conference victories — West Virginia junior Wendell Smallwood has topped 160 yards and averaged seven yards per carry. The emerging superstar ranks second in the Big 12 and 14th nationally in rushing yards per game (124.3) and also ranks 22nd nationally in all-purpose yards per game (138.3). He has rushed for 100 yards or more in six of the past seven games and is the kind of player whom WVU coach Dana Holgorsen will feed until an opponent proves it can stop him. What’s more, Holgorsen hinted earlier this week about Smallwood’s ability to impact games as more than just a runner. “We don’t do a lot of the other things he’s capable of in the pass game because he’s so important between the tackles,” Holgorsen said.

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH P/K MATTHEW WYMAN

1

You’ve been handling all of KU’s kicking duties the past few weeks — kickoffs, punts, field goals and extra points. Does all of that work wear you down?

I mean, yeah, it takes a toll. I was definitely more sore after this last game than I’ve been, just my hips and my knee. For a couple days, it’s definitely sore, but I like it. I’m out there a lot more, and I like being able to make an impact.

2

We already know that this whole punting thing is new to you, but what has been your favorite part about being KU’s punter?

It’s nice when you hit a long one, and it feels good when it comes off and you know you spiraled it and it’s gonna go.

3

Having said that, you’re averaging 43.2 yards per punt since taking over. Are you surprised at how successful you’ve been in that role?

I guess I’m not surprised. I mean, I knew I could hit it far. I was a little surprised how well I did in the first game, but I feel like I’ve started to mature, and I’m starting to get used to it more and more. I’m looking forward to continuing to develop.

I know they don’t want me doing

everything, but if they need me to do it, I want to do it.

out. But I’ve definitely grown to love football.

5

Your background includes some time on the soccer pitch. Is soccer in the United States — non World Cup years — ever going to reach the level that it has in Europe?

It’s slowly growing. I don’t know if it’ll ever reach the popularity of baseball and football, but it’s definitely getting up there. I’ve always loved soccer. I never grew up loving football. It was more high school coaches knew I could kick and came out and asked me to try

Speaking of predicting the future, you’re a psychology major, so what’s it going to take to get the KU program turned around and winning again for good?

It definitely helps to know how your mind works, and it’s definitely helped me be mentally strong. We don’t talk about it too much, but we’re a resilient bunch, and I think we’re a mentally strong team.

— Matt Tait

Jayhawk pulse Kansas’ near-upset of 13th-ranked TCU last week provided the program with a couple of important elements heading into the final two weeks of the 2015 season.

First, it gave KU concrete proof that carrying out assignments and executing the game plan can put the team in position to succeed.

Perhaps more importantly, coming so close to knocking off a Top-25 team and ending that ugly road losing streak filled the Jayhawks with a hunger to finish the season strong. KU’s final two Big 12 foes (WVU and K-State) enter today with a combined conference record of 2-10.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Allen leads Duke past VCU, 79-71 The Associated Press

Top 25 Men No. 5 Duke 79, VCU 71 New York — Grayson Allen didn’t wait very long to bounce back from an off night. It took one game.

Just three days after a rough performance against No. 2 Kentucky, Duke’s sophomore guard came up with a careerhigh 30 points as the Blue Devils beat VCU on Friday night in the opening round of the 2K Classic at Madison Square Garden.

Allen, who averaged 27 points in the Blue Devils’ first two games of the season, was held to six points on 2-for-11 shooting by Kentucky on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic. Facing the Rams, he looked a lot more like the player who had an exceptional Final Four in leading Duke to its fifth national championship last season.

He was 9-for-15 from the field, including matching his career high with four three-pointers. He was the key to Duke’s 17-3 run that turned VCU’s last lead of the game, 5453, into a comfortable 7058 lead with 5:43 to play.

“We have a thing on our team, a standard, we tell each other the truth.

So you confront it,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “He didn’t play well against Kentucky.”

The Blue Devils (3-1) will face Georgetown, which beat Wisconsin, in the championship game on Sunday.

No. 2 Kentucky 78, Wright State 63 Lexington, Ky. — Tyler Ulis scored a careerhigh 21 points, and Kentucky beat Wright State.

The Wildcats (4-0) followed Tuesday night’s impressive victory over No. 5 Duke by shooting 53 percent from the field, with the 5-foot-9 Ulis setting the tone by getting to the basket and the foul line. He was 5-for-9 from the field and 10-for-12 from the line with five assists, after he collected 18 points and six assists against the Blue Devils.

Kentucky held the Raiders (1-3) to 36 percent shooting and outrebounded them 37-27.

Alex Poythress had 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Poythress, who sustained a season-ending left knee injury last December, posted his first double-double since a 10-point, 13-rebound effort against UNC Asheville last November. His performance included a midcourt steal leading to a monstrous dunk.

No. 3 Maryland 65, Rider 58 College Park, Md. — Freshman Diamond Stone fueled a secondhalf surge that brought Maryland back from a 14-point deficit, and Jake Layman had 11 points and 11 rebounds in a victory over Rider.

The Terrapins (3-0) trailed 43-29 with 15:56 remaining and grabbed the lead for the first time when Rasheed Sulaimon scored on a runner in the lane with 5:19 left to make it 52-50.

No. 22 Butler 74, Temple 69 San Juan, Puerto Rico — Kellen Dunham scored 16 points to help Butler beat Temple in the second round of the Puerto Rico Tipoff.

Tyler Lewis scored 14 of his 16 points after halftime for the Bulldogs (30), who didn’t have the high-scoring output that had been a trademark of their first two games.

Butler shot just 36 percent, including 5-of-21 from three-point range, but shook off a slow start.

Hield scored 13 points in the first 4:45 of the second half before sitting the rest of the game. The reigning Big 12 Player of the Year hit nine of 13 from the field, including five of seven from threepoint range.

Hield hit a pair of baskets to spark an 8-0 Oklahoma run that gave the Sooners (2-0) the lead for good at 18-11 in the first half.

Miege trips Eudora football, 52-20 J-W Staff Reports

Eudora — Eudora High’s football team started and finished strong in its Class 4A Division I state semifinal matchup against Bishop Miege, but the Stags stifiled the Cardinals in the game’s middle stages to defeat EHS, 52-20.

Eudora senior running back Grant Elston helped EHS strike first with a nine-yard touchdown run, but Bishop Miege rattled off 52 unanswered points to advance to the state title game.

Elston rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. His

Chiefs’ defense all or nothing

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — There have been two entirely different versions of the Chiefs defense this season.

Really good and really bad.

That doesn’t necessarily sit well with coach Andy Reid, who craves consistency above just about all else.

But with the Chiefs riding a three-game win streak and back in playoff contention, he may have to settle for hoping “really good” shows up more often than the alternative.

“We’ve got a ton of work to do,” he said, “but this group is willing to work and they don’t get caught up in that other stuff. It’s a close locker room. And when I tell you I like this team, it’s the substance of the team.

There’s some good people on it.”

That was never in doubt on defense, even back in training camp.

Dontari Poe gives the Chiefs a Pro Bowl run stuffer, and he’s flanked by talented players in Allen Bailey, Mike DeVito and Jaye Howard. The linebacker group is highlighted by three Pro Bowl players in Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson. And the secondary includes first-round pick Marcus Peters and former Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry.

So yes, there are some good people on the defense. But it only made the team’s struggles early in the season, when the Chiefs were muddling to a 1-5 start, even harder to explain.

How could they allow the Packers to roll up nearly 450 yards of offense? Or the lowly Texans with their quarterback mess go for nearly 300 yards through the air?

How did Denver score twice in a minute to steal a victory at Arrowhead Stadium, or Jay Cutler lead Chicago downfield for a similar last-minute touchdown to snatch away another win?

TDs from one, two and 48 yards out to steer the Stags.

Bishop Miege (11-1) will take on Andover Central (10-2) for the state title at 1 p.m. Nov. 28 at Hummer Sports Complex in Topeka.

Andover Central defeated Topeka Hayden, 28-2, in the other Class

4A Division I state semifinal matchup.

The Cardinals closed the season with a record of 8-4. It was the fourth state semifinal appearance in school history for the Cardinals.

Jayhawks keep positive attitude

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Despite their upbeat attitude and never-say-quit demeanor, the members of the Kansas University football team are human.

And, positive or not, realistic or otherwise, zero wins in 10 tries this season can take a toll on even the most optimistic man.

However, with two games remaining in head coach David Beaty’s first season in charge of the program — including an 11 a.m. kickoff vs. West Virginia today at Memorial Stadium — the goal for the Jayhawks is to put the zero on the other side of the dash to close the season.

Strength coach Je’Ney

Smithson CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

the players’ whole mindset, that would be great. I think that’s what we need around here. In the Texas game, we played one good quarter. In the TCU game, we followed that up well. And if we keep going that way, eventually we’ll put a whole game together and see a whole different outcome.”

Beaty agreed and said that little-by-little progression was the goal all season long. But he’s not going to count on another solid performance simply because KU played TCU close last week. He focused all week on the same things he had emphasized all season — hard work, extreme focus and great camaraderie.

“It’s the Big 12,” Beaty said. “I think anybody is

Bowl banter West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said earlier this week that this week is the first time he has allowed his players or coaches to talk about the Mountaineers qualifying for a bowl game.

After starting the Big 12 season 0-4 and sitting at 3-4 altogether at that point, WVU ripped off wins over Texas Tech and Texas to pull within one win of bowl eligibility. That means a vic-

So what changed for the former Navy signee who ran the triple option as a quarterback in high school and at Navy Prep?

How did he transform last year’s modest numbers — 49 tackles in 12 games in 2014 — into eyepopping statistics Smithson during his first season as a KU captain?

“It’s just being out there,” he said. “Instincts and repetition. Triple digits? I never had that in mind. But that just comes with the game plan, the scheme and being in position to make the plays.”

A rotation guy behind Cassius Sendish and Isaiah Johnson a season ago, Smithson picked up valu-

able reps in a supporting role on the 2014 team. He learned how to adjust to the speed of Big 12 football, saw what guys like Sendish and Heeney did to position themselves to get a shot at the NFL and focused on football the way Einstein studied physics, all with the idea of playing a bigger role in 2015.

Voted a captain by his peers prior to the start of the season, Smithson has delivered both as a stat rat and a leader.

“I think the biggest thing that helps him is he’s a very smart football player,” KU coach David Beaty said. “You’ll be surprised how much football intelligence will make up for a lot of things. I think that really slows the game down for him, and what that does is it allows (him) to do things that maybe even a guy that

possesses a faster skill set, (or changes) direction faster (can’t do).”

Beaty admitted that he did not know when he arrived how much of an impact Smithson could have on the team. Conversations with defensive coordinator Clint Bowen led Beaty to believe Smithson could be a solid contributor. But, this? Leading the nation in solo tackles? Leading the team in tackles by a whopping 39 stops over second place?

“He doesn’t let himself get in the positions that can get him hurt very often,” Beaty said.

“He knows what everybody’s doing up front, which is a huge advantage because now you know how the pieces are supposed to move around. You know what the picture is supposed to look like as it unfolds.

AUCTIONS

games this season, including a career-high 13 stops against both Iowa State and Texas, it seems safe to say that Awe’s hold on the Big 12 lead is in jeopardy.

Not that Smithson cares a lick about any of that. Asked this week about his monster season, the 5-foot-11, 193-pound Baltimore native most often answered by using the word “we” instead of saying “I.” “He has, what, 100 (tackles) with two games left,” asked senior defensive end Ben Goodman.

“I don’t even think Heeney had that. Fish is out there doing a tremendous job, and he’s been huge for us.”

Jackson made that announcement earlier this week and it since has become the stated goal of the 100-plus players who suit up each Saturday.

“We’re looking at it as it’s a new season. Let’s try to go 2-0,” tight end Ben Johnson said. “On Monday, that was the first thing coach Jackson said to us. And if we can get that done, it’ll be a springboard us into next season and give us something to look forward to.”

Asked what a win, or even two, would mean for the Jayhawks, who have had a couple of close calls this season but also been beat up pretty well at times, Johnson was brutally honest.

“Oh, it’d definitely be huge,” he said. “Just for

capable of playing great any week, us included.

Last week was its own game. It’s not going to be anything that’s going to help us move it forward.

It’s going to be what happens when that ball gets snapped.”

tory at Memorial Stadium today would turn what once was a scary-looking season.

“We’ll try to meet that goal at the end of this week and then we’ll focus on the rest of our goals after this week,” Holgorsen said. “You can’t look too far in advance. Whatever kind of goals you can set to achieve at the end of the week I think are important.”

WVU leads the all-time series that dates back to 1941, 3-1, with KU’s lone victory coming, 31-19, in 2013.

That win, in Lawrence, broke the Jayhawks’ 27game conference losing streak.

Series history Seventy-one years passed between the first and second meeting between Kansas and West Virginia, but when the Jayhawks and Mountaineers lock up today, it will mark the fourth consecutive season they have played each other.

Another heavy favorite West Virginia entered the week as a 28-point favorite over the Jayhawks, marking the first time since Oct. 3 at Iowa State that a KU opponent was favored by fewer than 30 points.

Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Texas all opened as 30-plus-point favorites over the Jayhawks, and KU went 2-4 against the spread during that stretch.

You know where you’re supposed to fit. I think that’s really the big thing for him.”

Perhaps the best part about Smithson’s monster year is that both he and Bowen believe he’s just starting to scratch the surface on how good he can be.

As the season has gone on, Smithson has shown more consistency from week to week, game to game and quarter to quarter. As he has spent more time working with strength coach Je’Ney Jackson, he has learned how to build his body into a durable and sure-fire tackling machine. And as the results have started to jump off the stat sheet on Saturdays, that has merely made Smithson want to work harder.

Smithson’s 12 tackles last week against TCU gave him five straight

games with 10 or more tackles, a feat that had not been accomplished by a KU player since Carl Nesmith did it in 2000.

With two games to play, he sits 27 stops shy of KU’s all-time record for most tackles in a season by a KU defensive back. Perhaps more poetically, he needs just 15 stops in the final two games to pass Bowen, who recorded 114 stops as a KU safety in 1993.

“There’s even more in him,” Bowen said. “He can still get a lot better.”

Added Smithson: “I come in and watch tape and there’s still mistakes that I make. I miss some tackles. I can work on my coverage. I can always work on my leadership.

I don’t really think I’m a complete player right now. I still feel like I have a lot to work on and to show in my game.”
