Black Jack Battlefield wins national designation

Wet start for new U.S. 59

PINCKNEY

Officials hear input on upgrades ——

Concerns raised about preserving building’s history

——

Site near Baldwin City is now a National Historic Landmark

phancock@ljworld.com

Parents, teachers and neighborhood residents of Pinckney School asked questions and offered some observations about how best to upgrade the school if Lawrence voters approve a bond issue next spring.

A b o u t 30 people turned out for a public input meeting, the first SCHOOLS in a series that Lawrence school officials will hold throughout the district over the next several weeks to gather public feedback about the needs of each school.

David Unekis, a neighborhood resident whose daughter attended Pinckney before advancing to middle school, indicated he supported a bond issue but was equally concerned about investing in human capital as well as the physical building.

“Having a 4,000-squarefoot library is awesome, but we’re barely able to put a librarian into them,” Unekis said. “I don’t want to see the

TRAFFIC MOVES THROUGH THE MIST around noon as the newly completed U.S. Highway 59 opened. Wednesday’s opening marked the completion of a $145 million project that converted U.S. 59 from a two-lane state highway into a four-lane freeway between Lawrence and Ottawa.

The weather feels like fall, so it must be time for the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin City. A complete guide to the annual festival can be found in today’s paper.

If you’re going to Baldwin City this weekend, you should know:

Construction won’t stand in your way. The intersection of Douglas County Road 1055 and Route 12, which is being refurbished, will be open from Friday afternoon until Monday

morning. But Keith Browning, Douglas County public works director, encourages motorists from Lawrence to use U.S. Highways 59 and 56.

The new four-lane section of U.S. 59 opened Wednesday.

Once in Baldwin City, you can park at the high school, which is on the north side of U.S. 56 off Sixth Street. Parking and shuttle service also are available for a fee at the intermediate and primary schools, both west of town on U.S. 56.

Carnival rides are avail-

able Friday night, as well as on Saturday and Sunday.

The Maple Leaf parade gets rolling through downtown at 11 a.m. Saturday, followed by a kiddie parade at 10:45 a.m.

Arts-and-crafts booths are open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday downtown and at the grade school. And a quilt show is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunday at the intermediate school.

Activist launches effort to recall Kobach

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — A Topeka activist formally launched an effort Wednesday to recall Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, but state law creates huge hurdles to forcing an election.

Sonny Scroggins contends Kobach has been “derelict in his duties,” partly because of Kobach’s work on immigration issues outside the state. Scroggins submitted a $100 application fee and a copy of his proposed recall petition to the office of Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, who would determine the validity of a recall petition.

But the application for a recall petition won’t be considered valid unless supporters collect signatures from almost 83,000 registered voters — and doing so would give them only the right to try to gather the nearly 332,000 signatures required within

90 days to force an election. Scroggins acknowledged he’s hoping Kobach’s opponents across the state will see his proposed recall as a “clarion call” to gather signatures.

“I’m trying to awaken the sleeping giant,” he said.

Kobach has said repeatedly that he works full-time as secretary of state and handles immigration work in off hours.

A former law professor, he’s advised officials in other states about cracking down on illegal immigration and helped draft tough laws in Alabama and Arizona.

He noted Wednesday that he faced criticism over such work — and other issues raised by Scroggins — during the 2010 race for secretary of state.

“Evidently, Mr. Scroggins has inside information that a majority of Kansans have changed their minds,” Kobach said.

will allow doctors to perform hysterectomies, colon procedures, prostate treatments and other types of surgeries in a less invasive manner.

“It really has become the standard for many facilities in the area,” said Karen Shumate, vice president and chief operating officer of LMH. “And I can tell you that many of the new surgeons have been trained in this technology and they want to be at hospitals where they can continue to use it.”

The technology involves doctors making small incisions — often measuring just a few centimeters — that can accommodate up to four robotic arms being inserted into the patient. A surgeon then controls the robotic arms and the attached surgical devices from a remote-control station just outside the surgery area.

The system’s manufacturer, da Vinci Surgery, claims the technology often can reduce the amount of time a patient must stay in the hospital and quicken the overall recovery process.

Hospital board members said they were interested in seeing more information about the proposed purchase as part of their budget deliberations.

Shumate said the new technology won’t allow the hospital to receive higher reimbursement from insurance companies, but she thinks the high-tech system will be financially positive for the hospital by reducing the number of Lawrence residents who may be leaving the city to have procedures performed.

“There are some estimates that 25 percent of all hysterectomies in the U.S. are being performed

with the da Vinci system,” Shumate said. “That trend hasn’t yet hit Kansas, but it likely will.”

Board members also were told the hospital is considering spending $2 million to replace two CT scanners at LMH. Shumate said one of the two units had reached its replacement age, and that she was recommending the other unit be replaced because of how far CT technology has advanced in recent years.

She said the new CT scanners expose patients to about 60 percent less radiation during many types of scans. The new scanners also are significantly quicker, which she said is helpful when taking scans of small children and also one other category that people may not immediately think of: inebriated patients.

“That is a population that frequents our emergency rooms on weekends,” Gene Meyer, LMH chief executive officer, told board members.

In other LMH news, board members were told the hospital is in the early stages of recruiting a new psychiatrist to the community. The hospital was approached by a medical student in the final stages of a residency program, said Sheryle D’Amico, vice president of the hospital’s physician division.

D’Amico said the hospital is exploring options for hiring an LMH-employed psychiatrist because physician studies have shown the Lawrence area has a shortage of psychiatrists.

A new position probably wouldn’t be available until next summer, but D’Amico said the hospital may make a decision on whether to move forward before the end of the year.

tail wagging the dog.”

Sherry Tamerius, Title I reading and math teacher now in her 10th year at Pinckney, said she was concerned about preserving the beauty and history of the 1930s-era building.

“I’m just sentimental,” Tamerius said. “I would hate to see the wooden bannisters go. Some of those little things, helping preserve some of that.”

John Wilkins, a principal in the design firm Gould Evans Associates, assured Tamerius that those factors would be taken into consideration.

Wilkins opened the meeting earlier by giving a brief summary of Pinckney’s design and equipment needs. The firm has spent the last several months surveying all of the district’s buildings, paying particular attention to the older elementary schools in central and East Lawrence where officials think the most work needs to be done in order to bring them up to the same standards as the newer, more modern schools in west Lawrence.

— Sherry Tamerius, a Title I reading and math teacher now in her 10th year at Pinckney Pinckney, which is one of the oldest buildings in the district, also presents some of the greatest challenges, Wilkins said.

For example, it provides the lowest level of “thermal comfort” of all the grade schools in Lawrence, suggesting a need for major heating and air conditioning upgrades.

It also has a relatively small gymnasium, one barely large enough for a basketball court, which also doubles as the school cafeteria. That means the gym/cafeteria can be used for only one purpose at a time, while in other schools that have both, those rooms can serve multiple purposes outside of meal time and gym class.

Meanwhile, the classrooms themselves are ill-equipped for 21st century teaching practices, Wilkins said. Most don’t

have enough outlets to support computers and other kinds of technology now commonly used in classes.

Many rooms also are not large enough to accommodate “projectbased learning,” where pupils work together in small groups, collaborating on assignments.

Project-based learning, Wilkins noted, is a major emphasis in the new Common Core Standards for English/language arts and math, which will be fully implemented in the 201415 school year.

Wilkins and his associates from Gould Evans presented some options that would provide more flexibility, such as reconfiguring walls in the buildings to combine classrooms so teachers can collaborate with one another and still have their own isolated class.

District officials have scheduled 16 more public input meetings from now through Nov. 19. The next meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at Kennedy School, 1605 Davis Road.

The complete schedule is available on the district’s website, usd497.org.

said. “It was a very big deal at the time.”

Now it is again. National Park Service officials in making the announcement said the Battle of Black Jack “marked a culmination of escalating violence in ‘Bleeding Kansas’ and the beginning of John Brown’s war on slavery, which would culminate in his raid on Harpers Ferry three years later.”

The battlefield becomes the third National Historic Landmark in Douglas County — Haskell Institute in Lawrence and Lecompton’s Constitution Hall also are listed — and just the 25th national landmark in Kansas.

Area leaders are predicting the national designation will help eastern Kansas and western Missouri develop a national reputation as a region rich with early Civil War history.

“What is really significant about this is that we’ve always been telling these stories, but now it will be seen as a national treasure to preserve and promote,” said Fred Conboy, president and CEO of Destination Management Inc., which operates the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area.

Altenbernd, who has been part of a group seeking the designation since 2009, said the listing will make it easier for Civil War aficionados, who have spent considerable money visiting battlefields back east, to

“I keep telling everybody it literally puts us on the map,” Altenbernd said.

“National historic landmarks are put on all major maps.”

Altenbernd also said the designation may help in securing grants to maintain the property and improve the visitor experience at the site.

Altenbernd said his organization eventually would like to have more money for parking, signs, historical displays and even a visitors center someday.

“We’re a completely volunteer organization, so money has been hard to come by,” Altenbernd said of the trust, which owns the 40-acre battlefield site. “Sometimes you have to prove yourself that you are worthy of getting money. This is the highest designation you can receive from the National

Park Service. It shows we are the real deal.”

In addition to the 40acre battle site — which is along U.S. Highway 56 about three miles east of Baldwin City — the designation also includes two other pieces of property adjacent to the battlefield: the 11-acre Ivan Boyd Prairie Preserve, which includes wagon ruts from travelers of the Santa Fe Trail; and the two-acre Black Jack roadside park owned by the state of Kansas.

The designation comes just ahead of Baldwin City’s annual Maple Leaf Festival, which will feature tours of the battlefield and surrounding nature park. The free tours will be at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Regents advance $83M in building projects at KU

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Higher education officials on Wednesday endorsed two major building projects totaling more than $83 million on the Kansas University campus, as well as the destruction of a residence hall.

The Kansas Board of Regents approved moving the proposed $65.74 million School of Business building into KU’s current fiscal year capital improvement request, and construction by the KU Endowment Association of the proposed $18 million “Rules of Basket Ball” museum and student activity center.

The regents also approved KU’s plan to raze the 10-story McCollum Hall and replace it with two new residence halls in a project that will cost $47.8 million.

State Board of Education to change test score reporting ————

As a result, trends will be temporarily hard to track

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kansas State Board of Education agreed Wednesday to change the way statewide data about student test scores are reported, making it harder to track trends over time, especially for minority and low-income students.

But that difficulty is only expected to last another two years, until the state switches to a new set of tests aligned to the Common Core State Standards for reading and math.

In the meantime, the “State Report Card,” which is available on the agency’s website, ksde. org, will only reflect the scores from districts that use the standard state assessments for reading and math. Districts that use alternative tests such as the ACT Explore exam for middle and high school students will be reported separately.

Brad Neuenswander, deputy commissioner for learning services, said that will make it harder to follow trends or measure the achievement gap for cer-

Two other smaller districts, McPherson and Clifton-Clyde, are also using the ACT tests in lieu of the state exams in the upper grades.

“It makes it more difficult because as three districts have sought waivers from using the current state assessment and using a different tool, it does make other comparisons more challenging on a statewide level,” Neuenswander said.

Controversy over the two different tests erupted last month when the State

Department of Education reported results from tests that students were given last spring. The initial findings showed overall scores in reading and math had actually declined and the achievement gaps for certain minority groups grew for the first time in more than a decade.

But Neuenswander explained to the state board that those results included the ACT scores from Kansas City and the other two districts. That test is considered more difficult because it’s designed to measure college and career readiness. As a result, the standard for achieving “proficiency” on the ACT is higher than on the current state exams, which Please see BOARD, page 4A

which has about 720 students, KU officials said renovation of the building wasn’t an option.

But McCollum won’t be torn down until the two new residence halls are completed by the fall 2015 semester.

In other business, KU got some good news from the Internal Revenue Service.

The school had earlier estimated that it would receive a refund of approximately $15 million in FICA taxes plus interest paid on medical residents.

Now that figure is more like $20 million, KU Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle said Wednesday.

The refund is related to payroll taxes paid back in the 1990s.

The FICA refund has already been plugged into KU’s proposal to build a new medical education building at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.

are designed to measure a student’s readiness to advance to the next grade or to graduate high school.

As a result, Neuenswander said, students typically achieve lower scores on the ACT exam. And since the population of students taking the ACT test was heavily weighted with minority and lower-income students from Kansas City, it initially appeared that those groups had performed more poorly than they actually had.

Before Pekarek’s appointment, no member of the task force worked in a school. Democrats had criticized Brownback’s original appointees, saying the task force members lacked knowledge of the day-to-day operations and costs of schools.

Democrats have also said that the task force is going to be used to provide cover for Brownback to cut state funding to schools. But Brownback has said he will protect school funding.

In the news release, the governor’s office repeated its claim that only 54 percent of total school funding goes into the classroom for instruction, but Democrats and educators have said the governor’s office is not figuring the total correctly.

The task force’s next meeting is Nov. 9. Chairman Ken Willard of Hutchinson urged Kansans to contact the website and share information about

Kansas University will grant honorary degrees at the 2013 Commencement to a world-renowned dancer, an acclaimed artist and a leader in sustainable agriculture.

Karole Armitage, Wendell Castle and Wes Jackson will be honored for their contributions to society at the May 19, 2013, event in Memorial Stadium.

“These three individuals each embody the mission of the University of Kansas, which is to lift students and society by educating leaders, building healthy communities and making discoveries that change the world.

They have each enriched our world, making it a better, more vibrant place in which to live,”

said Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

The Kansas Board of Regents unanimously approved KU’s recommendation, which was put together by the school’s Committee on Honorary Degrees.

Armitage started dancing in Lawrence and returns regularly to perform at the Lied Center and to host master classes at KU. Castle, who has been a leading figure in designer furniture, received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from KU. Jackson, who earned a master’s degree from KU and founded The Land Institute, which promotes sustainable crops. Rolling Stone called him one of “100 agents of change.”

Now that the refund will be larger, Gray-Little said she would still like all of it to go toward that project.

Under KU’s proposal, the building’s estimated

cost of $75 million was to be funded with the refund, private dollars and a state appropriation.

Standards, which are also based around college and career readiness. Officials expect the new exams that are aligned to the Common Core standards to be ready for use by the 201415 school year.

A few days after the initial report came out, state officials issued revised numbers, taking out the ACT scores and showing only scores from districts that administered the state exams. That report showed little or no change overall in reading and math scores compared with the year before. And while it did show a widening achievement gap, the trend was much less pronounced than it had been in the previous report.

The State Report Card, as well as individual building and district report cards, are used primarily to measure com-

pliance with the federal No Child Left Behind law.

But board chairman David Dennis said the numbers are also important for state legislatures and the public.

“If you look at one group of people, they’re going to say that money that goes into education doesn’t make a difference because our scores didn’t change much,” Dennis said. “If you look at another group of people, they’re going to say, ‘Look at what happened with the funding cuts. We now have a gap that’s growing greater,’ and so forth.”

For that reason, Dennis said, it’s important for the department to issue reports that are accurate and not misleading.

“While task force members are researching and analyzing where inefficiencies are occurring in our educational system, we also want to hear directly from Kansans who have their own ideas and suggestions on how to make our schools more efficient,” Willard said.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT • A 19-year-old Lawrence man was arrested Tuesday evening on suspicion of kidnapping, domestic battery and criminal damage, according to the Douglas County Jail booking log.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said the charge stems from a domestic dispute that occurred during the day Tuesday at various locations. The suspect allegedly damaged property and restricted the victim from leaving the victim’s home.

The victim also sustained nonlife-threatening injuries during the incident.

Bond has not yet been set.

Together Strong helps victims of violence heal

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

Within the circle of candles, survivors shared stories. They told one another how they had overcome instances of sexual assault or domestic violence. And they said they were not alone.

About 100 people gathered in South Park on Wednesday night for Together Strong, an event organized by The Emily Taylor Center for Women & Gender Equity, GaDuGi SafeCenter and the Willow Domestic Violence Center. The event,

BRIEFLY

formerly known as Take Back the Night, focuses on raising awareness about the issues of sexual and domestic violence within the Lawrence community.

“A lot of times people like to hide it, and it makes it worse,” said Aimee Eickmann, director of community engagement for the Willow center. “If we bring awareness to the issue like tonight, it really begins to help and allow people to heal.”

In the candle circle, survivors spoke out about what happened to them.

Violence survivors also wrote their experiences on

DILBERT

“

If we bring awareness to the issue ... it really begins to help and allow people to heal.”

— Aimee Eickmann, director of community engagement for the Willow Domestic Violence Center T-shirts, creating a visual representation of both suffering and triumph.

“It’s a therapeutic outlet for survivors to have a way to tell their story,” said Shannon Reid, GaDuGi volunteer advocate, as she viewed the line of shirts.

The night was about education and healing. Groups such as the Commission for the Status of Women

and Kansas NOW were on hand to offer education about services for survivors and to inform about issues of sexual assault and domestic violence.

“Look out for the signs and be aware that, yes, it happens in such a large, large portion to women, but it also happens to people who you wouldn’t expect it to happen to,” said Katherine Gwynn,

public outreach coordinator of the Commission for the Status of Women. “People have this idea that, ‘Oh, if you are a strong woman, this isn’t going to happen to you,’ but that’s not the case.”

According to the Lawrence Police Department, 25 rapes were reported in the first six months of 2012.

Reported rapes have been down from previous years’ totals, dropping to 41 reported cases in 2011 from 52 in 2010 and 71 in 2000. A 2010 survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 1 in 5 women in the United States have been raped and 1 in 4

women have been victims of severe violence by an intimate partner.

Eickmann said there are steps people can take to help deal with this issue.

“The biggest thing that people can do if they know someone is going through an abusive situation or has had a sexual assault happen to them,” Eickmann said, “is to be there to listen, to help in any way they possibly can, to be available and to let their friends and coworkers know that there are agencies in town that are equipped to help them with issues like that.”

Candidates seek women’s support MOUNT VERNON, IOWA — One day after their contentious, finger-pointing debate, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney vied aggressively for the support of women voters Wednesday, as they and their running mates charged across nearly a half-dozen battleground states in the close race for the White House with 20 days to run.

The two rivals meet one more time, next Monday in Florida.

Obama wore a pink wristband to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month as he campaigned in Iowa and then Ohio, and reminded his audience that the first legislation he signed after becoming president made it easier for women to take pay grievances to court.

Romney took no position on that bill when it passed Congress, and his campaign says he would not seek its repeal. But Obama chided him, saying, “That shouldn’t be a complicated question.

Equal pay for equal work.”

Man held in plot to blow up Reserve NEW YORK — A Bangladeshi man who came to the United States to wage jihad was arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, authorities said.

Before trying to carry out the alleged terrorism plot, Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis went to a warehouse to help assemble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert material, according to a criminal complaint. He also asked an undercover agent to videotape him saying, “We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom,” the complaint said.

Agents grabbed the 21-year-old Nafis — armed with a cellphone he believed was rigged as a detonator — after he made several attempts to blow up the bomb inside a vehicle parked next to the Federal Reserve, the complaint said.

Authorities emphasized that the plot never posed an actual risk. However, they claimed the case demonstrated the value of using sting operations to neutralize young extremists eager to harm Americans.

EDITORIALS

Round two Tuesday’s presidential debate produced no knockout punches.

I

f this year’s series of presidential debates was likened to a three-round prize fight, most ringside judges would have given round one, by a wide margin, to challenger Mitt Romney.

The champion’s trainers gave their fighter, President Obama, quick instructions on how to take the fight to the challenger, and he came out for the second round more aggressively. This round was much closer and the score cards probably gave Obama a slight, very slight, advantage.

Both combatants got in some telling blows on Tuesday, but there were no knockdowns or serious injuries.

Now the debate contest moves to the final round Monday at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. In many ways, an incumbent enjoys an advantage because there is the prestige of the president’s office, the three-plus years of national and international exposer and the ability to try to control or manage the news.

However, this also can be a serious handicap, and, in Obama’s case, his record during the past three-plus years is not good. In fact, it is bad.

Consequently, both the president, and his vice president, have the challenge of trying to defend their poor record by diverting attention from the arguments of former Gov. Romney. Added to the negatives of high unemployment, record national debt, record number of Americans on food stamps and other embarrassing negative economic indicators, Obama now has to try to explain the lack of security and deadly attacks on the U.S. consulate compound in Benghazi where the U.S. ambassador was killed. So far, the explanation

by Obama and his senior aides has been confusing, misleading and not truthful.

Numerous observers said it is likely those who already have decided for whom they will vote were not persuaded to change their minds by Tuesday’s debate.

However, a focus group of undecided or independent voters in Las Vegas, who watched the debate on television, surprisingly said Romney won the debate.

It is clear Obama’s “trainers” had prepared their champion well, even to the point of having him perched on his stool, fully alert, paying attention to every word Romney offered in his presentations and ready to spring forward to answer the bell whenever there was an opening in the debate. In the first debate, Obama was listless, didn’t appear to be fully engaged and not well prepped.

Also, he took a page from Vice President Biden’s playbook and frequently interrupted and challenged Romney’s assertions.

Romney seemed a bit unsure during the first part of the debate but gained strength as the 90-minute debate progressed. Obama was steady during the entire exercise and, although he had hoped to land a knockout or seriously damaging blow, he was unable to put away his challenger.

Unfortunately, viewers and listeners didn’t learn anything new during the debate. Is there any reason to believe anything new will surface in Monday’s debate?

Whom should the public believe? Who would be the best president for the country for the next four years? What will determine how a genuine undecided, independent voter will vote?

Is the country better off today than it was four years ago, and has Obama delivered on his promises and the “changes” he called for in seeking the office four years ago? What are the chances his record will be any better in another four years if he should be re-elected?

Independent, currently undecided voters can play an almost unprecedented, important role in what happens to this country not only for the next four years but for many more years to come.

How will they vote on Nov. 6?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 18, 1912: “W.Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, an ex-regent of the University and a YEARS graduate from the college in the AGO class of 1885, addressed the stuIN 1912 dents of the University in chapel this morning on Women’s Suffrage....

Fed seen as ‘only game in town’ DALLAS — In the 1920s, in the wee small hours of the mornings, employees at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas sang while they worked.

One, Jack Culpepper, went into vaudeville, where he teamed up with a dance partner named Ginger. They married and performed as “Ginger and Pepper.” But show business marriages are perishable, so Ginger Rogers found another dance partner, Fred Astaire.

Richard Fisher, president of the Dallas Fed, who calls the legendary dance team “Fed and Ginger,” defends the Fed as an institution as vigorously as he questions its current policy. He prefers policies more suited to the Fed as it was before it acquired the burden — and temptation — of the dual mandate. Hence his praise for legislation by another Texan, Republican Rep. Kevin Brady.

Before the Fed was created 99 years ago, the U.S. economy was in recession 48 percent of the time; since 1913, it has been in recession only about 20 percent of the time.

The Fed has done much good.

It cannot, however, do every good thing, although Congress now seems to think it should.

In July, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testified to the Senate, where one of Fisher’s Harvard classmates, the ineffable Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., clearly hoping the Fed would give the economy a pre-elec-

“

Expecting — no, mandating — the Fed to perform the irreducibly political task of managing economic policy means offloading legislative responsibilities.” tion boost, exhorted Bernanke: “The Fed is the only game in town.” Good grief.

Is Congress a spectator at the game of governance? Does it have anything to do with tax rates, spending levels and health care and other policies that have American businesses, in Fisher’s words, “inundated with regulatory overload”?

Expecting — no, mandating — the Fed to perform the irreducibly political task of managing economic policy means offloading legislative responsibilities. And this inevitably involves what James Bullard, Fisher’s counterpart at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, calls the “creep-

ing politicization” of the Fed, a worry Fisher shares.

For the first 64 years of its existence, the Fed’s mandate was price stability — preserving the currency as a store of value by tightly controlling inflation. But in 1977, Congress stipulated maximizing employment as the Fed’s second mandate. Fisher thinks “a single mandate would serve our country best.” Brady’s Sound Dollar Act, which has 48 House sponsors, would restore the single mandate, and make other changes Fisher favors. For example: Fisher began his career with Brown Brothers Harriman, the private bank, and later was notably successful as founder and manager of several fundmanagement firms. He knows whereof he speaks when he speaks of capitalism. He says the Fed, through its regional banks, was “designed for us to be Main Street’s voice.” Brady agrees that today’s membership on the policymaking Federal Open Market Committee — seven members of the Reserve Board, the president of the New York Fed, and rotating four of the presidents of the regional banks — gives excessive weight to New York and Washington.

Two months after Schumer’s exhortation, the Fed announced a “highly accommodative stance of monetary policy,” meaning expanding

the money supply by buying $40 billion of bonds every month for an undetermined number of years, lasting “for a considerable time after the economic recovery strengthens.” Bernanke was appointed by President George W. Bush; his second term expires Jan. 31, 2014, in what could be the second year of a third presidency. And the policy he has announced may continue when he departs.

“This is a ‘Main Street’ policy,” Bernanke says, about “trying to get jobs going.” The theory is that expanding the money supply will further drive down interest rates and this somehow will prompt hiring and investing. Fisher is skeptical, and fears that such government fidgets might exacerbate today’s paralyzing uncertainties. America, he says, has the world’s “most muscular business community” but capital is “on the sidelines” — $1.4 trillion in excess bank reserves, $2 trillion on the books of S&P 500 companies — because businesses “do not know what their cost structure is going to be.”

Thanks to prior “highly accommodative” policies, the economy’s “gas tank is full, if not more” but it is unclear “who is going to step on the accelerator.” Perhaps no one will, as long as the Fed is regarded as “the only game in town.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Tax bargain To the editor: Taxes and fees support government. When combined, taxes and fees are either regressive (everyone pays about the same amount regardless of ability or income), flat (everyone pays approximately the same proportion of income) or progressive (those who have more pay at a higher rate).

Federal and state income taxes are supposed to be progressive. Gov. Brownback has essentially flattened the income tax rate, exempted most

partnerships (including Koch brothers), repealed the food sales tax rebate and now proposes to raise the regressive sales tax rate. These actions are a dramatic shift of the tax burden onto the backs of the poor, the elderly and working class residents of Kansas.

It seems the Koch brothers got the bargain they paid for, thanks to Sam. It’s not clear whether Kansas voters bargained for what they got: a snout in a poke and a poke in the snout.

Foliage, history are worth the trip I’ve just returned from a tenday trip to the Adirondacks, to a small town near Lake Champlain. My wife and I drove both ways with one of our dogs, a small Corgi named Fanny. It was an extremely interesting trip on several counts.

First, it was my first trip to this part of the Adirondacks, where my wife has a small farm. We deliberately planned to arrive when the fall foliage was at its height. The colors were simply amazing. It’s hard to explain in words the way the “High Peaks” blaze with oranges and reds of every hue during mid-October.

One morning, when the night was particularly chilly, we awoke to see snow-capped peaks blending into orange foliage on the highest mountains. As much as I love Kansas and the Kaw Valley, the breathtaking natural beauty of northern New York is simply unique. I was a bit surprised, only because I haven’t spent much time in this part of New York, at the number of tourists parked by the side of the road taking pictures of the mountains virtually everywhere we traveled. There were literally hundreds — if not thousands — of people out with their

I also was quite taken by the number of Revolutionary War sites, particularly forts, in the region. Here in Lawrence, we’re used to living amid the physical remains of the Civil War. In upstate New York, there aren’t very many Civil War sites (just a few memorials so far as I could see) but the shores of the many Adirondack lakes are dotted with the ruins of stone Revolutionary War-era forts, including the gun emplacements faced out to the water to defend the

shore from British attacks. As a history buff, it was fun to see the remains of another, earlier period in our national history that we don’t see here at home.

I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention the visits my wife and I made to see her friends, most of whom are weavers and spinners, many who live across Lake Champlain in Vermont.

Upstate New York and Vermont are sheep country and there are, apparently, hundreds of men and women who practice the art of weaving and spinning. My wife is a weaver and a spinner so I got a chance to go with her to visit a number of her friends and even attend a “spin in.” I don’t know much about fabric art, but I was fascinated both by the wheels and looms they use, including some that are hundreds of years old, and by the incredible textiles they produce. I was shown one of the women’s “overshot” shawl and, I must admit, it was incredible looking. It made me realize that I’m going to have to watch my wife at work at her looms and her wheels more seriously than I have done in the past.

Finally, I have to comment on the adventure of staying at motels with a dog. I prepared for the trip by finding a web-

Both were in Ohio. The one on the way out, whose name I’ll not disclose, was friendly, but not terribly clean.

My wife and I, and our dog, were very happy there.

So, my basic message to those readers who have never been to upstate New York or to the neighboring New England states, Vermont in particular, for the fall foliage season is simple: You really must go. Make sure that you visit in late September or early October. The mountains, the foliage, and the historical sites are fantastic. And the people are friendly and helpful, just like here at home.

IN SEASON: PERSIMMONS

KOVEL’S ANTIQUES

Figurines represent fertility

By Terry Kovel

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

A PERSIMMON TREE IN NORTH LAWRENCE sits full of fruit. Some old wives’ tales say the seed can tell what kind of winter it will be. The Farmer’s Almanac says that fork-shaped seeds tell of a mild winter, while knife-shaped seeds predict icy coldness and wind. Spoon-shaped seeds represent the shovel you will need to dig out from heavy snows.

A new look at an old fruit B

esides the changing leaves, autumn brings a bounty of fruits and vegetables.

Sweet potatoes, winter squash, chestnuts and apples are just ending their harvest, and fall greens, radishes and turnips are at their prime.

Persimmons are also ripening right now. Because of their perishability, this is about the only time you might find them except in value-added products like jellies and jams.

Some of the persimmons available today are just like the ones on your grandmother’s farmstead, and they are a still a great choice to grow. There are hundreds of other varieties out there now, too, selected for specific fruit qualities and tree size.

All of the varieties originate from two species — the American or common persimmon, Diospyros virgininia, and the Japanese or Oriental persimmon, Diospyros kaki.

Oriental persimmons are more common in production but are better suited to southern climates. Common persimmon is native to the eastern part of the United States, stretching into the east-central and southeast portions of Kansas. It has few insect and disease problems.

A notable specimen can be

Persimmons look like big, bright orange blueberries and are typically about an inch in diameter. They are sweet but mild and best eaten fresh. They are also often incorporated into breads, puddings and sorbets. They can be frozen for a short time or dried.

The common persimmon also contains tannins that go away with ripening. Some of the Oriental varieties lack the

tannins and are referred to as nonastringent types.

Anybody who has tasted a green persimmon can likely remember the puckering dryness of the fruit. In this area, freezing temperatures induce ripening and are a good ruleof-thumb to avoid a bitter persimmon.

Persimmon trees’ biggest downfall may be their size — the common variety is 20 feet to 40 feet tall at maturity, and many of the Oriental varieties are 20 feet to 25 feet tall.

Also, common persimmons are sometimes dioecious, meaning that male flowers and female flowers are born on separate trees and both are needed for fruit production. There are some persimmon trees that are self-fruitful, however. If planting one named cultivars, check with the nursery regarding whether the tree can produce fruit on its own.

In smaller yards or planting areas, Oriental persimmons are the best option. Just pay close attention to the USDA Hardiness Zone. Lawrence and Douglas County are listed as Zone 6. “Saijo” is a very popular Oriental persimmon variety that is reportedly hardy here. Another variety, “Ichi-Ki-Kei-Jiro” is also listed as hardy to zone 6 and only grows to a mature size

of 8 feet to 10 feet tall.

Ask your local nursery if they grow, sell or can get persimmon trees for you if interested. They can also be purchased from nurseries that specialize in fruit trees.

If left unpicked, persimmons will fall to the ground and are favored by small wildlife and deer.

Persimmon trees also have attractive, scaly, dark gray bark, and the wood is valuable for fine woodworking (in the same family as ebony). The fall color of the leaves ranges from yellow to reddish-purple.

A bit of folklore surrounds the persimmon fruit. Supposedly, if you cut a persimmon in half, the seeds will be shaped like eating utensils that can predict the coming winter’s weather.

The Farmer’s Almanac says that fork-shaped seeds tell of a mild winter, while knifeshaped seeds predict icy coldness and wind. Spoon-shaped seeds represent the shovel you will need to dig out from heavy snows.

Babies don’t always arrive as soon as they are wanted. Today a woman might consider getting medical help to conceive, but since ancient times the fertility symbol was thought to be an aid.

Frogs, rabbits, entwined snakes and even shoe figures were at one time given to the want-to-be mother. Some ancient peoples took small pottery figures of pregnant women to a religious service as an offering. American Indians put pictures on textiles and pottery of an old, bent man playing a flute or carrying a cane who brought babies to a household.

Perhaps most interesting to collectors is the German “Kinder Bringen.”

He or she was a figure, often a jester, who carried armloads of babies dressed for baptism. The babies were covered in tight cloth wraps much like swaddling clothes but called “taufling.”

All of these German words are used today, even by English-speaking collectors, to describe the dolls or figurines given to a new bride as a wish for children.

A few of these figures have sold at recent doll auctions. At a 2012 auction, a 19th-century, 5-inch porcelain figure of a smiling jester holding four wrapped babies sold for almost $1,000.

THIS SMILING PORCELAIN FIGURE represents a “Kinder Bringen,” a German folklore figure who brings children to brides. This jester and his children sold for $969 at a Theriault’s auction in Annapolis, Md.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU-KSU rivalry given new life KANSAS CITY, MO. — A man becomes familiar with the details of his own funeral and it spooks him to the bone. This sort of thing is only supposed to happen in that dimension that lies between the pit of Rod Serling’s fears and the summit of his knowledge.

And at Bruce Weber’s basketball practice.

In a move that at some level has haunted Bill Self since it happened — despite how he has played it off publicly — and could haunt Weber every time his Kansas State team plays against Kansas, Weber held a mock Self funeral at an Illinois practice.

Since his own funeral, Self has won eight consecutive Big 12 titles, plus a national Weber title, has gone 3-1 in Final Four games and has signed a 10-year, $53 million contract, all of which helps to explain why he’s such a friendly ghost.

Tired of his players getting peppered with questions about Self, Weber showed up for practice one day wearing black and informed the players there would be a funeral for Self.

Weber’s nearly decadeold macabre act is grist for the Kansas-Kansas State rivalry, so I asked Weber about it and whether if he had to do over again he would not have done it. He stopped short of saying that.

“I did it for the players,” Weber said. “The players kept saying, ‘Coach, we can’t move on. The media’s not letting us.’ Just like you’re not letting me move on.

They keep asking the same question. So I said, ‘I’m going to end it for you guys.’

That was my way of doing it.”

In a five-year stretch that spanned his final two seasons at Southern Illinois and his first three at Illinois, Weber averaged more than 28 victories and won 10 NCAA Tournament games.

He took his second Illinois team, loaded with Self’s recruits, to the national-title game, where it lost 75-70 to Roy Williams and North Carolina.

Timing is everything.

Had Weber come to K-State in the midst of that run of big-time success, Manhattan might have erected a purple statue in his likeness.

Instead, some faces turned purple with outrage, clinging to the belief that athletic director John Currie was responsible for Frank Martin’s fleeing to South Carolina.

“What I’ve done is try to be out there,” Weber said.

“You’ve got to be around and let them get to know you. I know there was some people grumbling a little bit when I took the job, but overall I just can’t believe the reception. They keep coming up to me and saying, ‘Thank you for coming to K-State.’ I tell them, ‘Thank you for having me.’”

He knows what he’s doing, and he’ll win at K-State.

But please, no more funerals.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University’s four senior basketball players brought out the bling for Wednesday’s Big 12 Media Day festivities in Sprint Center.

Elijah Johnson, Travis Releford, Jeff Withey and Kevin Young each wore their NCAA Final Four/Big 12 title rings, with their intent NOT to be boastful around players and coaches from the other nine league teams.

“No. No. No. We’ve not been walking around flashing them in everybody’s faces,” KU senior guard Releford

said. “We kind of don’t have to because they are huge.

“We know it’s our last time wearing these rings. We can’t be midseason wearing (NCAA) runner-up rings.

We’ve got to put that in the past and go out and try to compete and win another one.”

Withey wore a KU letter jacket for what he called a “special occasion.” Releford sported a jacket with a Jayhawk on it, and point guard

Johnson wore a Final Four jacket. Young had no jacket but like his buddies wore a collared shirt and tie.

“It says, ‘Runner-up,’’’ Withey said of his ring, that also documented KU’s eighthstraight Big 12 title. “That makes you think every day. I want one that says ‘National championship.’”

Or as senior forward Young noted: “I take pride in it (ring).

We did earn it, but we want more.”

Young, a 6-foot-8, 190-pounder from Perris, Calif., was part of the “hardnews” portion of coach Bill Self’s 45-minute sit-down session with media members.

“Kevin to me is ahead of everybody right now because of his energy,” Self said, referring to the starting-power-forward slot next to center Withey. “He’s played better than the other guys, but he should be playing better (as senior).

“Kevin is not a natural scorer. Perry (Ellis, freshman) is more a natural scorer, which complements Jeff. Right now, I just want those guys being aggressive at all times, then we’ll try to start putting it together in a couple weeks. There are so many unknowns with Perry, so many unknowns with Jamari (Traylor, red-shirt freshman Please see MEDIA DAY, page 4B

KU football defense takes baby steps

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Last year, Kansas University ranked near or at the bottom of Div. I football in most relevant defensive categories.

A year later, under firstyear head coach Charlie Weis and defensive coordinator Dave Campo, the Jayhawks have made strides, some more significant than others.

Through six games, KU’s defense ranks 91st nationally (of 120 teams) in total defense (434 yards per game), giving up 201 yards per game on the ground (98th) and 233 yards per outing through the air (69th). KU also ranks 77th in scoring defense, surrendering 28 points per game.

While those rankings represent small improvement from last year’s finish, the area in which the Jayhawks

have made the biggest leap is by landing on the first page of the leader board in a couple of defensive categories.

Kansas ranks 13th in redzone defense (second in the Big 12), giving up 18 scores (13 touchdowns and five field goals) in 27 trips, and is tied for 22nd in takeaways, with 14.

While the players and coaches credit Campo’s experience, expertise and ex-

pectations for a lot of the turnaround, it seems confidence has had as much to do with it as anything.

“I have a good understanding of what he’s gonna call or what he’s thinking,” senior cornerback Greg Brown said of Campo. “And that gives me confidence, and I’m sure it does that for the other guys, as well.”

Kansas rallies for Showdown victory

KANSAS’ JAMIE MATHIEU CELEBRATES A POINT during KU’s volleyball match against Kansas State on Wednesday at Horejsi Center. KU beat the Wildcats in four sets.

If Kansas University’s volleyball team felt as if it gave away Wednesday’s first set against archrival and 14thranked Kansas State, the Jayhawks sure made up for it in the next three.

After responding to the disappointment of letting two set points escape them in the opener, the 21stranked Jayhawks dominated Set 2, ground out Set 3 and closed out a convincing victory against the Wildcats, 2628, 25-15, 28-26 and 25-20, at Horejsi Center.

“The way we lost the first set could’ve created a really down mood,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “But for us to

come right back and really get after ’em in the second set, I think, was critical.”

Critical was a good word to describe the play of junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, who recorded her first double-double of the season (11 kills and 12 blocks) and once again joined the 200kill, 100-block club. Jarmoc has now achieved the feat that only five other Jayhawks have in three straight seasons. No one ever has done it four years in a row.

She credited the excitement in the gym and the intensity of the rivalry for her big night.

“Once you get in it, you get in it,” said Jarmoc, a native Canadian who admitted she knew nothing about the

Sunflower Showdown when she first got to town. “I just wanted to crush them tonight.”

Several others played key roles in the Jayhawks’ first victory over the Wildcats (17-3 overall, 4-3 Big 12) since 2009.

Sophomores Sara McClinton (19 kills in 33 tries) and Chelsea Albers (7 kills in 13 tries) helped pace KU’s offense, four different Jayhawks finished with three or more blocks, and, as a team, the Jayhawks (18-3, 6-1) dominated at the net, finishing with 18 blocks to K-State’s five and a .271 attack percentage.

Carpenter lifts Cards ————

St. Louis claims 3-1 victory for 2-1 series lead ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter always tries to stay ready, keeping an assortment of gloves nearby.

That’s his job.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ utilityman took on a new role in Game 3 of the NL championship series: game-changer.

Carpenter hit a tworun homer after subbing for Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals chased Matt Cain before a 31⁄2-hour rain delay in the seventh inning of a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night for a 2-1 series lead.

“It was definitely a surprise,” Carpenter said. “I didn’t even realize Carlos had hurt himself, there was really no thought process.

“I was in the game before I had time to think about it,” he said.

Beltran strained his left knee running out a double-play ball in the first inning, and the Cardinals said he was day to day.

He’s had issues off and on with the knee throughout the season, but played in 151 games and had 619 atbats, his most since 2008.

Kyle Lohse worked around a season-worst five walks in 52⁄3 innings.

Mitchell Boggs struck out Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt with two on to end the seventh. Jason Motte earned the first two-inning save of his career to reward what remained of a sellout crowd of 45,850 that stuck around — perhaps a third — for a game that lasted 3 hours, 2 minutes, about a half-hour shorter than the delay.

“They said if we didn’t score I was going to go out there. I was in the clubhouse running around, I’ve never really had to sit around like that,” Motte said. “It was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been.”

Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro had two hits and a clean game in the field, two days after Matt Holliday rammed him breaking up a double play. Manager Bruce Bochy had said there would be no retaliation, and Game 3 was collision-free.

“I’m sure he was gutting it out,” Bochy said of Scutaro. “He was determined to play and made a pretty good recovery.”

Bochy said Scutaro made the right play going to first on a run-scoring groundout by Shane Robinson that made it 3-1 in the seventh.

“Well, I don’t think he had a play at home. It

would have been close,” Bochy said. “You can’t have a better or smarter second baseman than Marco.”

The big winners in a delay that featured about a half-hour without rain while officials awaited a second, smaller front: beer vendors, by a single out. Alcohol sales are cut off after the seventh inning in all stadiums.

Cain lost for the second time this postseason, giving up three runs on five hits in 61⁄3 innings. The Giants, who entered the game batting just .217 in the postseason, were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.

Pence, the Giants’ fifthplace hitter, also grounded into a double play with runners on first and third in the third and grounded into a force play with a man on to end the fifth.

“I’m the goat tonight,” Pence said.

The Cardinals snapped the Giants’ five-game road winning streak in the postseason, three of them this year. Game 4 is in St. Louis on Thursday night, with Adam Wainwright pitching for the Cardinals.

Tim Lincecum will start for the Giants.

Yankees-Tigers postponed DETROIT (AP) — One win from the World Series.

Rainy or not, the Detroit Tigers will have to wait.

Game 4 of the AL championship series between the Tigers and New York Yankees was postponed because of a stormy forecast Wednesday night — although Comerica Park was still dry when the decision was made.

“They kept saying it was going to come and it never came,” Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer said. “So go figure.”

About an hour later, however, heavy rain started to fall, soaking the tarp that was placed on the infield before the postponement.

With the Tigers seeking a sweep in the bestof-seven series, Game 4 was rescheduled for 3:07 p.m. today. New York will send ace CC Sabathia to the mound against Scher-

zer. The Tigers will have lefty Phil Coke, who saved Games 2 and 3, available after a day of rest.

Game 5, if necessary, would be Friday in Detroit.

Under the original schedule, there was a good chance Sabathia would pitch a potential Game 7 on three days’ rest if the Yankees rallied in the series. Now, he might be limited to one start — and New York might need to win four games in four days to advance.

“You cannot think about Game 7 when you need to win a game,” New York second baseman Robinson Cano said.

Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson, benched along with third baseman Alex Rodriguez by manager Joe Girardi on Wednesday before the game was called, said the unplanned night off might

actually help him and his slumping team.

“It’s definitely not going to hurt by any means,” Granderson said. “We haven’t played well to this point. Who knows?

Change is always a good thing.”

The first pitch Wednesday night was slated for 7:07 p.m. But shortly before the scheduled start, the crowd was informed of a delay. A radar forecast for the Detroit area was eventually posted on the scoreboard video screen, as if to explain to fans why there was no baseball despite what was still pleasant weather at the ballpark.

The postponement was announced after a delay of about 70 minutes. A misty rain finally began about 15 minutes after the postponement was announced and steady rain followed shortly thereafter.

KU No. 7 in preseason poll

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University’s basketball team opens the 2012-13 season ranked No. 7 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll released Wednesday.

It’s the 21st time in the 24-year history of the coaches’ poll the Jayhawks have been ranked.

It marks the seventh time in Bill Self’s 10 years as KU coach that KU starts out ranked seventh or better. KU opened last season at No. 13 and finished No. 2.

“It’s preseason so it doesn’t mean too much, but it is definitely an honor to be ranked seventh,” senior center Jeff Withey said.

Media Day CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

forward). Obviously Zach (Peters, freshman forward, shoulder injury) is not out there. Right now, everybody is on a level playing field.”

A reporter asked Self if Young’s energy could make him a good candidate for first man off the bench.

“Could be,” Self said.

“I’m not going to tell him that right now because I think he’s worked hard enough to start without question.”

As far as the questions

Indiana starts No. 1, followed by Louisville, Kentucky, Ohio State, Michigan, North Carolina State, KU, Duke, Syracuse, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, UCLA, Michigan State, Creighton, Memphis, Missouri, Baylor, UNLV, San Diego State, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Notre Dame, Florida State and Texas.

he has to take obviously is from a vocal leadership, being positive. I think it’s just a matter of time before he gets comfortable in those shoes.”

Senior class: KU senior point guard Elijah Johnson is a big fan of Jayhawk seniors Travis Releford, Jeff Withey and Kevin Young.

“There’s no negative energy,” he said. “The only negative energy that came from the seniors was coming from me before we went to Europe (in August for four games). Coach nipped it in the bud. I feel

I learned lessons about me being an older person wanting to help our freshman class.”

Johnson’s mistake earlier this summer was “wanting to be positive so bad that it turned negative. I wanted my message to get through to people so bad that I was attacking them rather than coaching them. They (freshmen) didn’t know. I didn’t know when I first got to Kansas. Coach said, ‘That’s not the way we do it.’ He didn’t have to say much to me. I think he said one thing to me, and I cleaned it up.”

Of Johnson, Self said: “He is a different guy from a leadership standpoint.

Elijah is ridiculously bright and a deep thinker.

He gets it. The next step

about his rotation, Self said: “We’ll start the season playing nine, then it will go to eight, and who knows where it will go after that?

We could have a 10th, 11th (man) that will be pretty disappointed because they are pretty good. Last year we had a happy locker room.

Everybody knew exactly what their role was and who was going to play and that kind of stuff. This year will be different. There will be some guys disappointed.

That also brings out competition, which is good.”

Self said that, so far, the seniors have been the ones who have stood out at practice.

“They didn’t play well in

Europe (on August tour).

Kevin did OK, but Jeff, Elijah and Travis didn’t,” Self said. “They’ve been better since practice started. Of the freshmen, I’d say Ben (McLemore) and Jamari (have stood out). They have come a long way the last couple months.”

Self said he thinks “we have the potential to be good defensively. Offensively, I don’t know if we can score inside on the block enough.

“We probably will shoot more jump shots than we have at any point in time since I’ve been here. I’m not sure that’s a strength.

We should play through our bigs more. We have

a lot of guys that can rise up and make a shot. Hopefully we won’t become a jump-shooting team so to speak, but probably more this year than past.”

It’s all a work in progress. The Jayhawks have had just four practices since Friday’s Late Night in the Phog.

“I told them I’d be as hard on them as any group ever. I don’t know if that’s (been) exactly true because they try so hard,” Self said of his team, which includes seven scholarship freshmen he referred to as “puppies.”

“I haven’t had any reason to be really frustrated with them yet.”

Lions’ AD to retire

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A graduate of Lawrence High and an employee at the school since 1973, LHS athletic director Ron Commons will retire at the end of the school year.

Nothing in particular led to the decision when Commons came to it this past summer. The LHS mainstay said the timing just felt natural.

“It’s a good time to retire, while you can still enjoy things,” he said.

Commons, 63, became Lawrence’s athletic director in the fall of 1994.

Before that, he taught, worked on the football staff for 20 years, spent two seasons as a basketball assistant and coached boys golf for 29 years.

He has spent so much time around LHS athletics, Commons has seen it all. However, that hasn’t made his latest years dull.

“With all the things that seem to be new and situations coming up with kids and parents and teams and facilities and all those things, surprisingly there’s always something brandspankin’ new that seems to come down the pipe,” he said.

This week, in fact, Commons will witness something that hasn’t happened in his 39 years of working at the school.

“Every year, you think, ‘Gosh, there’s nothing new that could seem to come up,’ and now in football we’re going to play Kansas City (Kan.) Wyandotte, and in all my years, we have never played at Wyandotte,” Commons said.

Wyandotte and Lawrence have met in the playoffs, but those were Lions home games, back when LHS played at Haskell Stadium.

Seabury rolls in finale

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Bishop Seabury Academy’s on-again, off-again football program just might be here to stay.

After having their 2009 season cut short and not fielding a team the following two falls, the Seahawks capped a successful — though truncated — return season Wednesday with a 61-8 home victory over the Kansas School for the Deaf.

Although Seabury’s sixth and final game of the season (athletic director Eric Nelson wanted to ease the program back into existence) began with the Seahawks trailing by eight less than three minutes in, they recovered to score 61 unanswered points.

Senior Fischer Almanza, the only Seahawk left over from the 2009 team, hoped the decisive win would serve as a statement about the program.

“There’s a future here for football,” said Almanza, who gave BSA the lead for good with a 54-yard, tackle-breaking touchdown reception in the first quarter.

Coach Aaron Combs felt confident heading into the season that his team would be able to win, but finishing with a 4-2 record seemed even more significant.

“We’re laying the

Self on team chemistry: “Our older guys like our younger guys. They (freshmen) defer. They are the most unselfish group to a fault.”

Self on his contract extension: “I can’t see myself coaching anywhere else right now, in college for sure. As far as the NBA goes, there’s only 30 jobs.

I hate to say this: I’ve got a better job than threefourths of them. I’ve got one of the best jobs basketball has to offer. I can’t see wanting to be anywhere else.”

team,” Albers said. “We’re gonna block balls and touch balls that a lot of other people would just give up on.”

Never was that more evident than in crunch time Wednesday. The Jayhawks were at their best during the waning moments of the final three sets. Senior Tayler Tolefree ended a tight third set with a huge stuff block, and Catherine Carmichael came up with a huge rejection in the fourth set to give KU breathing room at 21-19. From there, McClinton took over, recording kills on three of KU’s final four points to close out the match.

“I was like, ‘I want the ball,’” the 6-foot-2 outside hitter from Omaha, Neb., said. “I know my teammates need for me to have that mentality.”

After KU let a 15-10,

Defense CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Perhaps the most obvious indication that this defense has taken steps forward came last week, when the Jayhawks limited the nation’s most potent offense to 288 fewer yards than its average in a 20-14 loss to OSU. In the process, KU bottled up the Big 12’s leading rusher, Joseph Randle, (80 yards on 29 carries) and held OSU 35 points below its season average.

“Campo has been

fourth-set lead slip to one at 17-16, Bechard called timeout to calm his players down and emphasize the importance of finishing.

“In a fifth set, many times the volleyball gods can take over with a bounce here or a call there,” Bechard said.

“Even though we’ve had some success with ’em, we prefer not to (go five) if we can get it over in four.”

Although Wednesday’s victory merely went down as the latest bright moment in a season full of highlights, Bechard talked in detail after the match about all that it represented.

“We talked about it a little bit,” Bechard said.

“There’s this ranking, there’s RPI (KU entered the night 13th, while KState was ninth), there’s all this stuff, and the girls just looked back at us and said, ‘That’s what we feel like we should be doing.’

I think they get a sense that they believe and now we’ve beaten some good teams.”

around a long time,” Weis said. “He’s seen good play, and he’s seen bad play, but the players haven’t seen good play. That’s more important, because when the players say, ‘Hey, look, that’s the best offense in the country, and we just roughed them up,’ then our expectations of how they play should go up. If they lead the country in offense and we not only slugged it out with them but, at the end of the game, had the best of them, the players really gained more than anyone else on this.”

Weis said last week’s effort added to his team’s growing confidence.

BRIEFLY KU women’s golf places ninth NORMAN, OKLA. — Kansas University junior Meghan Potee fought through flulike symptoms and was KU’s top finisher Wednesday at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic.

Potee had a three-round total of 10-over-par 226 to tie for 24th in the 96-golfer field.

Potee carded a 2-over 74 on Wednesday, which matched her first-round score on Monday. KU finished ninth in the 18-team field.

FSHS football falls to No. 2 Despite a 43-point home victory over Kansas City (Kan.) Wyandotte on Friday, Free State High’s football team lost its No. 1 spot in the latest Class 6A Kansas Football Media Poll rankings, released Wednesday.

The Firebirds (6-1) dropped to No. 2 in this week’s poll, getting supplanted by new No. 1 Hutchinson (5-2).

No. 3 Derby (6-1), No. 4 Shawnee Mission East (6-1) and No. 5 Wichita Heights (6-1) rounded out this week’s top five.

Lawrence (6-1), Topeka (61) and Shawnee Mission West (6-1) also received votes.

Volleyball brackets out If the volleyball teams from both Lawrence High and Free State want to advance to the state tournament, they will have to knock off some of Class 6A’s top-ranked teams.

Brackets for Saturday’s sub-state tournament at Gardner have the No. 7 seed Lions (16-17) facing host Gardner-Edgerton (32-6), the No. 2 seed in the bracket and the No. 2 team in 6A, according to the Kansas Volleyball Association’s latest rankings.

The Firebirds (26-10) received the No. 4 seed and will face Blue Valley West (21-10) in the sub-state semifinals.

Like FSHS, BVW received votes in the final rankings of the regular season.

On Saturday in Uniontown, Bishop Seabury Academy (19-12) will be the No. 3 seed in a 2A bracket.

The Seahawks will face Yates Center (15-21) in the first round.

Dear Annie: I’ve been estranged from my adult daughter for the past 10 years. However, she has a college-aged daughter with whom I’ve managed to maintain a decent and, I thought, loving relationship.

Last month, I was on “Chelsea’s” Facebook page. I’ve been proud of her success in college, her happiness with friends and the experience of living away from her mother. However, her friends posted a couple of remarks on her Facebook page that bothered me. I emailed her that these issues may not be any of my business, but I was concerned for her personal safety, etc. She quickly replied that this was indeed none of my business, and she made excuses for the Facebook comments.

We haven’t spoken since then, and frankly, I cannot excuse her bad behavior toward me. But

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Chelsea doesn’t have a great many family members, and I would like to mend this rift. My own friends have pointed out that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Any suggestions? — Concerned Grandpa Dear Grandpa: Chelsea is young and living independently for the first time. She doesn’t want her grandfather to tell her how to live her life. You were right to be concerned about her safety, but it came across as criticism, and she was not receptive.

‘Ethel’ offers new view on Kennedys The Kennedy story is so embroidered with legend that it’s difficult to tell the fable from historical fact. The myth-making continues with “Ethel” (8 p.m., HBO), an affectionate profile of Robert F. Kennedy’s widow and mother of his 11 children. “Ethel” is directed by Rory Kennedy, who was born in December 1968 — more than six months after her father’s assassination. ‘‘Ethel” revisits many hardy perennials from the Kennedy image catalog — scenes of touch football games and other moments of vigorous competition; enormous gatherings of healthy, wealthy children lectured on social purpose by their politically engaged elders; and happy clips of an insular and expansive clan connected by political ambition and abiding faith.

Some interesting tidbits emerge. In addition to having 11 children (or, as her daughter puts it, spending 99 months of her life pregnant), Ethel Skakel Kennedy was passionate about animals and often had as many as 16 dogs, various horses and livestock and, for one brief shining moment, a pet seal at the family’s Hickory Hill, Va., home.

More than most Kennedy hagiographies, “Ethel” discusses Robert F. Kennedy’s work for Sen. Joseph P. McCarthy and the fact that the notorious, red-baiting senator dated two of Kennedy’s sisters.

At its most charming, “Ethel” crosses the Kennedy story with “Cheaper by the Dozen.” It’s an affectionate glance back at a huge family and two singular parents — an exercise in home-movie nostalgia laced with epic tragedy.

Tonight’s other highlights

Liz does damage control for Jenna on “30 Rock” (7 p.m., NBC).

The St. Louis Cardinals host the San Francisco Giants in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series (6:30 p.m., Fox).

Marcus and Sam learn that the Navy has branded them traitors on “Last Resort” (7 p.m., ABC).

Ava wants to feel relevant again on “Up All Night” (7:30 p.m., NBC).

A diplomat’s daughter needs protecting on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

The doctors are faced with an impossible choice on “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC).

Leslie is shocked to discover sex among the senior set on “Parks and Recreation” (8:30 p.m., NBC).

A bureaucrat’s bombshell throws Olivia off her game on “Scandal” (9 p.m., ABC).

Creative recycling on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS

Rock-and-roll performer Chuck Berry is 86. Actor Jean-Claude Van Damme is 52. Actress Erin Moran is 52. Actor Vincent Spano is 50. Actress-model Freida Pinto is 28. Actor Zac Efron is 25.

Actress Joy Lauren is 23. Actor Tyler Posey is 21.

If you want to fix this, you will have to make the first move. Send her an email or post something on her Facebook page that is positive and complimentary. Say nothing about the previous disagreement, and hope she is equally willing to let it go. We hope someday Chelsea will be mature enough to appreciate your advice.

Dear Annie: I’ve read letters from women who complain because their men are spending time and money secretly watching porn. I suspect most men are like me.

I am 64 years old. I was married for 24 years. Except for our sex life, I was truly happy right up until the day she said she had a boyfriend and wanted a divorce. I always wanted more physical contact than she did, but she viewed that as “my” problem. Meanwhile, she decided I was “oversexed.”

I found that porn allowed

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Oct. 18, 2012: This year your imagination opens many doors, and the only issue will be which one you would like to go through. The unexpected keeps you alert and excited about life. If you are single, you have a way about you that draws many people in. If you are attached, a tendency to kiss and make up becomes more important.

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 not realize how much you trigger certain people in your life.You see beyond the obvious and act accordingly.

Tonight: Go for the untried.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Work with a partner directly. You really might appreciate the experience and its benefits. Tonight: A little fall shopping wouldn’t hurt.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your optimism remains, no matter what obstacles you face.

A meaningful exchange occurs between you and someone else only because of your upbeat attitude.

Tonight: Go with a friend’s or loved one’s decision.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself. You have a lot to accomplish. Tonight: Get some exercise.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You cannot go wrong if you are spontaneous. News or an idea surprises you by triggering all types of reactions — some angry, some unpredictable. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are enthusiastic about

me, at least in fantasy, to get some of the release I needed.

We divorced 11 years ago. I am now the luckiest man on Earth because I found a genuine partner.

Not only is this 60-yearold woman mature, successful, loving, liberated and modern, but she still enjoys sex. We kiss and hug. When we do have sex, we want to please each other. I haven’t thought about watching porn since we met.

Women should ask themselves whether they are contributing to the behavior they abhor, and what they could bring to the relationship to make it better. — Problem Solved Dear Solved: In most troubled relationships, both parties contribute to the problem to varying degrees. The important thing is for each person to address their own weak spots and then work to make the relationship better.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Make calls early. You likely will be swamped by others seeking you out. Tonight: Read between the lines.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be careful with spending.

You could be letting go of negative feelings through shopping. Tonight: Have fun with a friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Funnel your energy into whatever you want, and your creativity will surge as a result. You might try out some of your wild ideas on someone. Tonight: Sort through offers.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to step back from a project for a while, especially if you have a conflict with someone involved. Stay calm when dealing with an unpredictable individual. Tonight: Work out or take a walk.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be more removed than you realize, as your mind wanders from one thought to another. Your creativity continues to be high. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Pressure comes from what you think you need to accomplish as opposed to what others want you to do. At a certain point, you need to honor your priorities, or else you will not be happy. Tonight: Clear out as much as you can.
