MEET THE CANDIDATES

Jenkins challenged in newly configured 2nd District

Democrat Tobias Schlingensiepen says solutions to the nation’s problems are being stymied by monied interests in Congress, and that U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins has been complicit in that effort.

But Jenkins, a Republican, blames what she describes as the big government agenda of the Democrats in the U.S. Senate and President Barack Obama.

Jenkins and Schlingensiepen, who are both from Topeka, face off in the Nov. 6 election to represent the 2nd Congressional District, which includes Lawrence and much of eastern Kansas. Dennis Hawver, a lawyer from Ozawkie, is the Libertarian candidate.

Schlingensiepen, a minister, said that if elected, he would fight the “fundraising circus that puts members of Congress in debt to wealthy corporations.”

He puts Jenkins in that circus, noting that she has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from banks, insurance and financial companies while voting against regulations of those interests that he said are aimed at safeguarding consumers.

Jenkins, who is seeking her third two-year term, said she voted against regulations that hurt small banks in the district.

Candidates from area races were at the farmers’ market Saturday to meet and talk with members of the public.

See our complete voters guide inside on pages 4A-8A She said that when Obama took office and Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress, they passed regulations that have hurt the economy.

“They believe government can solve our problems, while I believe that in many cases, government is the problem,” she said.

On the issue of taxes, Jenkins has called for an overhaul that lowers rates and eliminates loopholes that she says are used mostly by the wealthy. Schlingensiepen wants the Bush-era tax cuts for those making more than $250,000 to go away.

Schlingensiepen said he supports extension of the wind energy tax credit; Jenkins opposes it.

Schlingensiepen said he would protect funding to Public Broadcasting; Jenkins said she would pull the plug.

Jenkins has voted repeatedly to repeal the Affordable Care Act and has accused Schlingensiepen of refusing to take a stand on the issue. Schlingensiepen has said there are parts of the ACA that he likes but that it doesn’t address the issue of driving down health care costs. He has said putting ev-

Schlingensiepen said the Medicare overhaul proposal that Jenkins has voted for would increase the cost of health care by more than $6,000 per senior citizen, but Jenkins said the plan was necessary to keep Medicare from going bankrupt.

In America’s first election in 1789, George Washington was elected in a contest where only 6 percent of American adults — white, male property owners — were eligible to vote.

Vermont was the first state to extend voting rights to men who did not own property.

The 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, prohibited states from denying the right to vote to AfricanAmerican men. But the U.S. Constitution did not guarantee women the right to vote until 50 years later, with ratification of the 19th Amendment.

A convicted Lawrence sex offender who was one of 14 Kansas men listed in the recently released “perversion files” kept by the Boy Scouts of America, served as a vice principal in the Kansas City, Kan., school district.

James Douglas Jackson, who was convicted in Douglas County in 2001 of several sex crimes against children, was vice principal at Arrowhead Junior High School from 1973 to 1976, according to school yearbooks from the time. Jackson, now 72, also served as vice principal at Northwest Junior High in Kansas City during the 197273 school year.

Jackson had an active teaching license in the state between 1960 and 1976, according to state teaching records. Information about what other schools Jackson may have taught at were not available, according to a representative from the Kansas State Department of Education.

Calls to the Kansas City, Kan., school district were not returned.

Jackson had been registered with a scouting unit in Kansas City since 1981, and records from the Boy Scouts allege that Jackson abused a boy in May 1985. Days following the alleged abuse, Jackson was sent a letter indicating he’d been removed from the Boy Scouts.

Included in Jackson’s file is a three-page letter detailing the abuse. But the letter is handwritten, and some of it is illegible.

In 2001, Jackson, who at the time operated the Mask-Snorkel-Fin scuba gear shop in Lawrence, was convicted in Douglas County of four sex crimes, including two counts of criminal sodomy on a minor and two counts of indecent liberties with a child.

Jackson spent more than 10 years in Kansas prisons and was released last April.

He is required to register as a sex offender for life.

W ICHITA ( AP ) — An influx of out-of-state horizontal oil drillers into Kansas is driving up land-lease prices so much that some traditional drillers say hundreds of the state’s vertical wells could be idled within two years.

Oklahoma City-based Sandridge Energy moved its horizontal drilling operations into a few southern Kansas counties two years ago after buying up more than 2 million acres of mineral leases in Oklahoma and Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle reported the company also has filed intent-to-drill notices for more than 60 horizontal wells in Ford, Finney, Gray, Ness, Hodgeman and Gove counties in western Kansas.

Out-of-state companies EnCana USA, Tug Hill Operating and Apache Corp. all have drilled or filed intent-to-drill notices for dozens of horizontal wells in those same six to eight counties in central and western Kansas.

More than 70 volunteers turned out Saturday for Make A Difference Day, and there was plenty of dog washing, leaf raking and other kinds of hard work for all of them.

The volunteers included children, parents, church groups and Kansas University students who worked on nine community service projects at Lawrence schools and nonprofit agencies.

The projects varied from shampooing dogs at the Lawrence Human Society to cleanups and landscaping at New York,

Schwegler and Hillcrest schools.

Others prepared a garden at The Willow Domestic Violence Center and helped the Douglas County AIDS Project pack up their offices for a move.

Their efforts were part of national Make A Difference Day, the largest community service effort in the country, organized locally by The United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center.

VOTER GUIDE 2012 Kansas Senate, District 2: Marci Francisco vs. Ron Ellis

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

While the rest of the political world is torn apart by turmoil, the race between state Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, and Ron Ellis, a Republican from Meriden, has been relatively tame.

The two, who face off in the Nov. 6 election, seem to agree on many issues but disagree on how judges are selected.

Francisco, a former mayor of Lawrence who is seeking her third fouryear term in the Senate, has said if re-elected she will propose a change to the massive tax cut that Gov. Sam Brownback signed into law after the last legislative session.

Francisco said the tax cut will “dramatically reduce our state revenues, spur businesses to reorganize to avoid taxes and make the Kansas tax system more unfair.”

A portion of that tax-cutting package will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from state income taxes.

Francisco says she will propose limiting the passthrough business income tax exemption to the first $100,000 of nonwage income.

Ellis, a retired teacher, said he also is concerned about the effects of the tax cuts on state revenues and would consider limiting the tax break to smaller businesses, too.

Age: 62 Occupation: Analyst with the Center for Sustainability at Kansas University Married: Husband, Joe Children: None Religion: Unitarian Education: Bachelor’s degrees in architecture and environmental design from Kansas University Experience: First elected to Kansas Senate in 2004; mayor of Lawrence, 1981-83; city commissioner 1979-83; member of Democratic Party precinct committee Quote: “Experience counts. I have had a seat at the table in the Kansas Senate as a member of the budget committee and as a ranking minority member. Working through the details of legislation with legislators from both parties, I have demonstrated my support for education and a fair tax system and my commitment to representing my constituents in the 2nd Senate District.”

Ellis has been endorsed by the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, which pushed for the Brownback tax cuts. Ellis notes on his website that he has been a tireless campaigner for many years working for Republican candidates, including Brownback.

Both Ellis and Francisco say the state should restore cuts to public

schools that were made during the recession.

Ellis said he saw firsthand in the Oskaloosa school district how those cuts led to larger class sizes, employees laid off and staff reductions from not replacing retired teachers.

“We should replace the money that has been cut,” he said.

Both candidates also said they would oppose increased reliance on local property taxes to fund schools. “One of the strengths of our statewide funding for education is to equalize costs across the state,” Francisco said.

But the two candidates part ways on the issue of judicial selection.

Francisco said the current system reduces the influence of politics in the judicial nominating process.

Giving Brownback, who opposes abortion rights, more say in selecting judges has been a priority of anti-abortion groups.

Since the last election, the

Senate district’s boundaries have changed when three federal judges redrew the legislative maps after the Legislature and Brownback failed to do the job. The district includes a large portion of the city of Lawrence, Lecompton and nearly all of Jefferson County.

Brownback that would allow the governor to select judges with approval of a supermajority in the Senate. Ellis said that would make Kansas’ system more like the federal system.

Francisco supports the current system in which a nine-member nominating commission reviews and interviews applicants for openings on the Kansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and forwards three names to the governor, who picks from that list.

Every few years, each judge is subjected to a retention vote.

The nominating commission includes five attorneys, plus four nonattorneys named by the governor.

Kansas Senate, District 3: Tom Holland vs. Anthony Brown

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

The gloves came off early in the campaign between state Sen. Tom Holland and state Rep. Anthony Brown for the 3rd State Senate District.

Holland, a Democrat from Baldwin City, and Brown, a Republican from Eudora, have tangled over school finance, tax cuts and safety issues along Kansas Highway 10.

A 2011 traffic fatality on K-10 spurred local advocacy for cable median barriers to be placed along certain sections of K-10.

Eudora Mayor Scott Hopson said when the community sought help from the Legislature, Holland answered the request and Brown didn’t.

“He basically left us high and dry,” Hopson said of Brown.

But Brown said he worked “tirelessly” behind the scenes with Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration, and he accused Holland of trying to politicize a tragedy. Brown has provided a July letter from Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Mike King, who thanked Brown “for your ongoing concern to see this project through.” King was appointed secretary by Brownback in March.

But former KDOT Secretary Deb Miller, who served from 2003 through 2011, said Holland and Eudora Mayor Hopson “were involved from start to finish in the discussions that led to the installation of new safety barriers in the highway median. Rep. Anthony Brown simply was not.”

In response, Brown said that after a bill pushed by Holland to set up a safety

Another local issue has sparked controversy. During a debate, Brown said that two Eudora school board members told him that state cuts to school funding were positive because they allowed the district to get rid of some “dead weight” in the district.

But Brown has refused to identify the school board members, and all of the board members denied Brown’s claim.

On the wider issue of state school finance, Holland said the Brownback

Kansas Senate, District 19: Anthony Hensley vs. Casey Moore The race for state Senate District 19 features the state’s longest-serving legislator, state Sen. Anthony Hensley, against a political newcomer, Casey Moore.

Hensley, a Democrat, and Moore, a Republican, match up in the Nov. 6 general election for the s district, which includes e western Douglas County. e Both candidates are e from Topeka. k Hensley has been in e the Legislature since 1976, - first in the House and then , the Senate, since 1992, f where he serves as the minority leader.

Moore points out that he was born the same year Hensley started in the Legislature. Moore, who has lived in Kansas since 2006, says career politicians are disgusting and he supports term limits.

Hensley said his longevity shows voters in the district believe he has done a good job and keep re-electing him.

The campaign features what has become a familiar division between Democrats and conservative Republicans in this election season.

Moore, who has worked as a singles pastor, written a book on Christian dating and now trades commodities, has received the support of the Kansas Cham-

ber of Commerce and Americans for Prosperity, a group founded by the billionaire Koch brothers that doesn’t have to disclose how much it raises or spends.

Hensley has the support of education groups and retired state employees.

The two have faced off in several forums.

Hensley said the tax cuts signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback are going to rob necessary revenue from education and social services.

The measure will decrease individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent.

Also, the state will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes. Hensley has also criticized the package for eliminating a food sales tax refund for poor people.

According to legislative research staff, the tax cuts will produce a budget deficit of $2.5 billion within a few years, and that will lead to higher property taxes and cuts to schools, Hensley has said.

But Moore has described the $2.5 billion deficit as a bogus number and said he wants to cut taxes further in order

to spur more economic growth.

“More jobs, less government,” Moore repeatedly says at campaign appearances.

But Hensley said shrinking government needed to be done carefully, and he used the example of when the Brownback administration wanted in 2011 to shut down the state welfare office — a proposal that was dropped after a public outcry.

Moore has also questioned the need for additional funding for public schools, saying that Kansas spends $12,000 per

year per student.

But Hensley says that figure includes a lot of noninstructional funding, such as teacher pension funds and capital outlay. The state’s base state aid per pupil has been cut significantly during the Great Recession, and those funds should be restored, he said.

Another area where the two differ is on the comprehensive transportation program.

Hensley voted for it but Moore says transportation projects are saddling the state with debt.

Kansas House, District 10: Erica Anderson vs. John Wilson

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

Franklin County precincts from the 10th District and added portions of Lawrence and east-central Douglas country in their place, first-term Republican incumbent TerriLois Gregory moved from Baldwin City to Ottawa and launched an unsuccessful run for the GOP nomination for 59th House District. In making that deci-

sion, she endorsed fellow Baldwin City Republican Erica Anderson for the 10th District seat, saying she shared her views and values. Anderson says she opposes any measure to restrict Second Amendment rights, is pro-life and would support further steps to regulate abortion providers “as long as that legislation promotes life, not death.”

Anderson’s foe is Democrat John Wilson, of Lawrence.

As he campaigns door to door, the issues most on voters’ minds are education, the economy and jobs, Wilson said. On education, concerns are that the state provide funding adequate to maintain current class sizes, retain good teachers and give

teachers what is needed to succeed in the classroom, he said.

Wilson said the income tax package the Kansas Legislature passed last spring threatens those education objectives. The package reduced tax rates, increased standard deductions and exempted from Please see DISTRICT 10, page 6A

economy and put more money in the hands of Kansans.

The state is decreasing its individual income tax rates for 2013, with the top rate dropping to 4.9 percent from 6.45 percent. Also, the state will exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes.

Overall, the Legislature’s research staff projects the tax cuts will create collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion over the next six years. Public school education makes up about half of the state budget.

Brown is among the group of conservative Republicans in the Legislature backed by Brownback, the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, the billionaire Koch brothers and groups affiliated with them, and Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

Meanwhile, Holland has been endorsed by the Kansas National Education Association, the MainStream Coalition, Kansas Citizens for Higher Education, Economic Lifelines and Independence Inc. Brown has occasionally generated controversy through his comments.

In a 2011 debate on an amendment to cut more spending from the budget, Brown urged a “yes” vote, saying, “I personally believe we were called here by my creator. I wasn’t called to be mediocre. I was called to be great.”

At a January 2011 Lawrence Chamber of Commerce breakfast, Brown was critical of Lawrence for being too liberal.

The 3rd Senate District covers eastern Douglas County, including the southern portion of Lawrence, Baldwin City, Eudora and western Leavenworth County.

Kansas House, District 44: Kansas House, District 42: Patrick Bengtson vs.

Connie O’Brien vs. Harold Fevurly Jr. Barbara Ballard

By Shawn Linenberger

slinenberger@theworldco.info

Education funding is a top priority for Harold Fevurly Jr. in the House District 42 race.

Fevurly, of Easton, is the Democratic challenger facing another Leavenworth County resident, Republican incumbent Connie O’Brien of Tonganoxie.

Fevurly, who is 50, said he’s heard several concerns while campaigning door-to-door regarding education funding.

“It’s funded below 1999 levels right now,” said Fevurly, a former Pleasant Ridge USD 449 school board member.

The 65-year-old O’Brien, who is seeking her third term, said the economy is the biggest concern among residents.

She pointed to a tax bill that is to lower income taxes effective next July as a step toward helping the economy.

O’Brien, a former teacher, said if re-elected she plans to reintroduce a bill introduced late last session that would provide in-state tuition to veterans.

“We’ve provided for illegal immigrants,” O’Brien said. “We can provide for our own citizens who are veterans.”

Her intentions stemmed from a conversation with a friend who is in the military.

The soldier knew of someone who wanted to attend college in his home state, but it did not offer a degree in which he was interested. Kansas University does, but he would have to pay the more costly out-of-state tuition.

“We want to do all we can for our veterans,” O’Brien said. “Everyone talks about that. This is one way we can help them.”

She said an influx of veterans also would in turn help the economy.

Fevurly worked some 28 years with the Department of

taxation nonwage income from some businesses.

The tax reduction is estimated to be $800 million in 2014.

Wilson said he would support an effort to roll back the package. One concern, he said, was that as revenue dwindles and the state cuts back on aid to local school districts, it could force school districts to increase local property taxes as the only alternative source of revenue.

“That’s a pretty big concern,” he said. “Nobody I talk to thinks there is any flexibility to raise property taxes higher than they already are.

“This is such a sweeping cut, it’s going to cause problems. There are strategic ways to cut taxes for small businesses that I would consider.”

Anderson said cooperation was the key to making the tax cuts work, strengthening education and finding inefficiencies in government.

Though education funding is a top priority, he disagrees with O’Brien on the income tax cut.

“However you look at it, the state has to run,” he said, noting that no one likes taxes, but residents should pay “their fair share.”

“That’s going to trickle down to local school boards, counties and cities,” he said. “The only way to do that is to raise property taxes to make that difference up.”

O’Brien’s endorsements include Kansans For Life, the NRA and Kansas Chamber of Commerce.

“We need to support positive changes that will draw people together to help solve our issues, not initiatives that divide and cause strife,” she said.

“We must make a shift that allows us to be graceful to one another so that we may come together to find innovative solutions to bring efficiencies to the discussion.”

Anderson supports the income tax cuts of the last session, agreeing with Gov. Sam Brownback’s view that they will

increase state revenues by encouraging economic development.

“I do believe they have the opportunity to grow the economy by putting more money into the hands of the people,” she said. “This is a step in the right direction.”

If elected, she would work with all to see that the cuts don’t harm education, Anderson said.

Patrick Bengtson-R

In the race for House District 44, veteran legislator Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, faces a political newcomer, Republican Patrick Bengtson.

Ballard was first elected to the Kansas House in 1992 and says she has formed relationships with Republicans and Democrats that are helpful when trying to push legislation that benefits Lawrence.

“I will continue to support policies in the Capitol that reflect the values of my constituents, both as Kansans and residents of Lawrence,” she said.

But Bengtson said it’s time for a change. “I believe it’s time to turn the page and start a new chapter,” he said.

Ballard says the state needs to restore funding to public schools that suffered cuts

Brownback said this month he would consider extending the temporary

0.5 percent sales tax set to expire in July 1, 2013, should state revenues suffer too much of a shortfall from the income tax cuts.

That option has no support from the two 10th District candidates.

“We need to honor the Legislature’s previous commitment on the sales tax,” Wilson said. “It was sold to Kansans with the idea it would sunset this

summer. Sales taxes are the most aggressive taxes out there.”

Anderson said the sales tax should expire and the Legislature should look at new revenue sources in its 2013 session.

Wilson tied economic development to support for education, saying businesses first look for quality K-12 schools and colleges when looking to relocate or expand. He would like to see additional vocational education available in high school and workforce retraining opportunities for displaced workers.

The biosciences and alternative energy solutions, particularly wind energy, offered economic development in Kansas, Wilson said. There also was “less sexy” economic development potential in conservation upgrades, which allow companies to save through cutting energy use.

Wilson is pro-choice but said he supports comprehensive sex education, including abstinence education, and women’s access to contraceptives as ways to reduce abortions.

“For Frank Male, local public service is not about partisan politics or personal agendas. Frank is running for County Commissioner because he sincerely believes in sound, responsible and responsive county government. The important attributes he would bring to the Douglas County Commission are fiscal responsibility in handling your tax dollars, common sense, and “real world” business experience. If you want a Commissioner who will represent all segments of the community all of the time, I encourage you to vote for Frank Male on November 6th.”

State Board of Ed., District 4: Carolyn Campbell vs. Jack Wu District 44

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

It’s easy to draw any number of contrasts between Carolyn Campbell and Jack Wu, the two candidates running for the Kansas State Board of Education in District 4.

Campbell, 70, is a Democrat, a lifelong resident of Kansas, and a black woman who attended public schools in Topeka, starting at McKinley Elementary, an all-black elementary school in Topeka in the years before desegregation.

“I’m a product of segregation,” she said.

After graduating from Topeka High School in 1960, she spent a year at a career college, the Clark School of Business, then located in Topeka.

Wu, 29, is a Republican, a native of California, and an Asian-American. He attended the Chinese Christian Schools, a parochial school in San Leandro, Calif. He then went to California State University, East Bay, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science.

Campbell was elected to three terms on the Topeka board of education before running for the state board in 2008.

Wu has never run for public office before.

But the biggest difference between the two is their approach to religion and how their religious beliefs influence their positions on policy issues.

Both consider themselves devout Christians.

Campbell, however, says that plays no role in her official actions on the state board.

“I have always separated church and state, in my personal beliefs and what I believe our children should receive as an education,” Campbell said.

Wu is a member of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka. Founded by Fred Phelps Sr., that church is known through-

out the country and in many parts of the world for its anti-homosexual protests. He says his religious values would play a big role in his decisions if he is elected to the state board.

“Everyone has their religious views,” Wu said. “I don’t believe you have to go to the Westboro Baptist Church to be a good person. But there are some basic things we should teach our kids from the Bible.”

Chief among those, Wu said, are the ideas that God created heaven and Earth in six days, that Adam and Eve were the first humans, and that there is no such thing as evolution.

“There are a lot of concepts like natural selection and adaptation that I do believe,” he said. “But I don’t want to see schools teaching that humans share a common ancestor with apes.”

The teaching of evolution often stirs controversy on the state board when it acts to update the official state science curriculum. That is expected to happen again early in 2013 when the board votes on whether to adopt the new Next Generation Science Standards, a document being prepared by a consortium of states, including Kansas, with leadership from the National Research Council.

The current draft of those standards emphasize evolution as one of the unifying, or “cross-cutting,” principles affecting many disciplines of science.

Campbell said she supports the new science standards, as far as she has yet seen, and supports the teaching of evolution in science classes.

Currently, those who support teaching evolution hold a 7-3 majority on the state board, and it is unlikely that the elections in November will reverse that balance. One of the conservatives who opposes evolu-

tion, Kathy Martin of Clay Center (District 6), is not seeking re-election and will be replaced by a moderate who does support evolution, either Republican Deena Horst or Democrat Carol Viar.

District 4, which includes most of Lawrence and western Douglas County, is one of two seats in which pro-evolution, moderate incumbents are being challenged by religious conservatives. The other is District 2 in Johnson County, an open seat this year, where Democrat Cindy Neighbor faces conservative Republican Steve Roberts.

Among the other weighty issues facing the next board will be whether to revamp the process Kansas uses to accredit public schools. Establishing those standards and monitoring school performance is one of the key

duties of the state board, which is responsible under the Kansas Constitution for “general supervision of public schools, educational institutions and all the educational interests of the state.”

Currently, the state uses the Quality Performance Accreditation model, or QPA, that was first enacted in 1992. That system, which was greatly expanded under the federal No Child Left Behind law in 2001, holds schools accountable for increasing the number of students who score proficient or better on standardized tests in core subjects.

This summer, however, Kansas was granted a federal waiver from No Child Left Behind. Beginning next spring, the state will use a different system that uses multiple measures of how schools are performing. In addition to looking at the number of students above the proficiency benchmark, the new system focuses on the overall growth in scores, the gap between the lowest- and highest-performing students, and reducing the number of students who score below proficiency.

Staff in the Kansas Department of Education are drafting a new accreditation model aligned to that new system of accountability.

Campbell, who vocally supported the department’s efforts to obtain the federal waiver, said she is waiting to see the specific proposal the staff offers before making up her mind.

Wu said in an interview that he was not aware of efforts to revamp the accreditation system. He said he believes the state should be responsible for accrediting schools and should not hand that responsibility over to outside organizations.

during the Great Recession. Bengtson has said more state funding is needed for schools and that education would be his top priority.

Ballard voted against the tax cuts signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback, and Bengtson said the tax cuts were too large and will need to be adjusted.

Ballard said her experience in the Legislature has helped Lawrence.

Ballard said in 2010 she made a politically difficult vote for a temporary sales tax increase that was used to avoid further cuts in schools, social services and public safety.

Bengtson said the Legislature is too divided and needs new members to break down that divide.

Kansas House, District 54: Ann Mah vs. Ken Corbet

By Elvyn Jones ejones@theworldco.com

The race for the 54th Kansas House District pits what could be termed a 40 percent incumbent against a Shawnee County businessman.

Democrat Ann Mah of the Shawnee Heights area southeast of Topeka is seeking re-election to the seat she’s held for four terms. But it is a much different district from the one she has represented, with only 40 percent of her former constituents now in the district. In June, a three-judge federal panel charged with redrawing Kansas legislative maps removed its Topeka precincts, added the northern half of Osage County and extended the district to the south and east into Douglas County.

The district now extends across U.S. Highway 59 but does not include Baldwin City.

Mah’s challenger is Ken Corbet, who won a threeway race for the Republican nomination in August.

The owner of Ravenwood Lodge, a sportsmen’s retreat and bed and breakfast near Dover, Corbet said he understood the difficulties high taxes can cause small businesses. He supports the income tax cuts passed in the last legislative session — which reduced tax rates, increased standard deductions and exempted from taxation nonwage income from some businesses — and would like to see more.

“I think any place you can cut taxes is good for Kansas,” he said. “My goal is to make Kansas the No. 1 tax-friendly state in the country. Companies are going to states that are tax-friendly like Texas or Tennessee. Kansas has to grow to survive.”

He told the Republican caucus they would have to fix it next session.”

Good infrastructure, quality schools and a trained employee pool attract business, Mah said, citing the example of Mars Chocolate North America’s planned move to Topeka.

Making the tax cuts worse were the elimination of rebates available to low-income Kansans for food sales tax, renters and child care, Mah said.

“That’s $2 million more in taxes low-income people in Douglas County will have to pay,” she said.

“Yeah, I voted against it.”

The added burden the tax cuts place on low-income Kansans makes her an adamant opponent of extending the temporary half-cent sales tax that is set to expire July 1, 2013.

Gov. Sam Brownback has said he might consider extending the tax should Kansas revenues fall too steeply in the first years of the income tax cuts.

Mah said she voted for that sunset date when she voted to approve the halfcent sales tax in 2010.

“I’ve already voted to end it,” she said. “I would honor that commitment.

They would have to pass a tax increase to extend it.”

Corbet said the state

had a high sales tax rate and he would like to avoid any increase.

Both candidates said as they campaign door-todoor, property taxes were a prime concern.

Douglas County Commission, District 2: Thellman vs. Male

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Nancy Thellman likes to say that the job of a county commissioner “isn’t just about roads and bridges anymore.” County government today has a larger role in economic development, attracting jobs to the community and providing social services throughout the county that improve the quality of life.

Thellman, a Democrat, has taken a broad view during her first term of what constitutes economic development. For example, she has led efforts to develop and market local historical and cultural assets as tourist destinations by establishing the Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Project and strengthening Douglas County’s role in the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area.

“For me, it’s about all kinds of jobs,” Thellman said. “Not just factory, but the high-tech bioscience jobs, agricultural jobs and tourism-related employment.”

Her challenger, Republican Frank Male, agrees that economic development is a top priority. But he says the county should refocus its efforts on attracting what he calls “primary jobs,” which he describes as more traditional manufacturing or serviceoriented jobs.

“The idea is that something is made or done in Douglas County that is sold somewhere else,” Male said. For example, “Hallmark Cards are made here and sold in California.

The money from California comes back here, pays wages for Douglas County citizens, pays their health insurance, and also the property taxes that Hallmark pays on their building are paid to Douglas County. ... It’s new money to Douglas County, and it starts churning in our local economy.”

Male has also criticized funding of the Heritage Grant program, saying in an online chat at the Journal-World that he considers it “more of a want than a need” and that “core services like public health and safety, roads and bridges, and other public works projects” should be given higher priority.

Thellman and Male are competing for the county commission seat from District 2, which covers portions of East Lawrence and most of eastern Douglas County, including Eudora and Baldwin City.

Both live on small farms in rural Douglas County: Thellman in Grant Township north of Lawrence; Male in Eudora Township south of Eudora.

Male is co-owner of a local landscaping business, Lawrence Landscape, 600 Lincoln. He is also active in the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and is finishing a three-year term on its board.

Thellman is an ordained Presbyterian minister who served as an associate pastor at First Presbyterian Church and Plymouth Congregational Church in Lawrence before she was elected to the commission in 2008.

The two candidates have also taken different positions on developing industrial property in Douglas County.

Business and government officials have long debated the need to open more property along the I-70 corridor to industrial development.

Thellman says she has supported efforts by the city of Lawrence to restrict development around the airport, citing concerns about runoff that would affect North Lawrence, the high cost of extending public infrastructure, and her desire to protect that area for agricultural use.

Most of the property in industrial parks along the west Lawrence interchange are already occupied. The only land near Lawrence with access to I-70 is located near the Lecompton interchange, along what’s commonly known as the Farmers Turnpike.

In 2011, Thellman was the only city or county commissioner who voted against a proposed “island annexation” in that area.

Thellman said she supports the idea of developing that area but believes it should be done as part of a comprehensive plan, and not through spot annexations of land that is not contiguous with the current city limits.

An earlier attempt at an island annexation in that area in 2008 was rejected by the Kansas Court of Appeals. That case is still

on appeal at the Kansas Supreme Court.

Male said he supports industrial development near the airport but recognizes that restrictions imposed by the city limit those possibilities. He also supports developing the Farmers Turnpike area.

Male has also been critical of increased spending by the county for certain social services, including the Lawrence Community Shelter.

The county recently purchased land near the county jail, primarily to build a new Public Works facility. But the purchase also paved the way for relocating the homeless shelter to that area, where Thellman says it will be better able to provide job training and other services for its clients.

In addition, the county’s contribution to the center will go from about $15,000 this year to $95,000 in 2013.

“It’s my opinion that the county has done more than its fair share,” Male said. “I’m fine with funding it at the base of $15,000 like we had in the past. But I think a better funding stream, the city gets revenue from an alcohol tax, and it seems there would be a nice correlation between a homeless shelter and an alcohol tax.”

Thellman, however, said she supports the increase in funding.

“My sense is that the Lawrence Community Shelter serves a growing population of folks who have multiple needs,” she said. “It’s not just overnight bedding. A lot of times they need counseling, job training and help finding housing.”

If re-elected, Thellman said she wants to continue the work started in her first term.

“I certainly want to continue to be an active participant in helping our community find ways to bring new jobs in, a wide variety of jobs, keep building our bioscience industry,” she said.

Male said if he’s elected, “Hopefully we’ll have some new employers, more primary jobs, a streamlined planning process and a businessfriendly environment.”

Amendment dealing with boat taxes on ballot

By The Associated Press

A constitutional amendment on the November ballot will let Kansas residents decide whether to reduce property taxes on boat owners, bringing the state’s rates in line with others in the Midwest.

Amendment proponents say the current tax rate on boats is 30 percent of value multiplied by the county’s tax mill levy. In some instances, that’s eight times higher than adjoining states, prompting some Kansas boat owners to register their craft elsewhere. A $20,000 boat in Oklahoma would cost $150 in property taxes, while the same boat in Kansas would bring a $750 tax bill, proponents say.

The amendment is being pushed by the state’s Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, as well as state bass fishing organizations and marine watercraft sales firms.

Boat registrations are down about 20 percent in Kansas over the last decade, to about 83,000 annually. The loss of 20,000 sales reduces the state’s annual tax revenue by about $1 million a year, said Dan Hesket, the boat-

ing law administrator for the wildlife department.

“It’s our belief that if this passes, we’d be bringing those registrations back into Kansas,” said Don Leatherman, president of the Kansas Bass Federation Nation. “It’s kind of counterproductive, as we see it. People are registering and housing boats out of state. It’s kind of a deterrent to visiting Kansas, actually. If we can get the number down to a fair tax, we can fix that.”

The proposed amendment standardizes boat taxation with other recreational vehicles. A similar amendment for recreational vehicles, which was passed in 1992, substantially cut taxes on those vehicles, which are currently valued according to vehicle weight and age, said Rep. Jeff King, R-Independence.

“We tax boats differently than almost any other kind of vehicle in Kansas,” he said. “Much differently, and much higher than any other state.”

Salina sportsman Bob Roberts is skeptical of the proposed amendment, saying someone who can afford a $50,000 boat can afford the property tax bill.

Poll: Majority harbor prejudice against blacks

By Jennifer Agiesta and Sonya Ross

“

We have this false idea that there is uniformity in progress and that things change in one big step. That is not the way history has WASHINGTON — Racial attitudes have not improved worked.”

Associated Press

in the four years since the United States elected its first black president, an Associated Press poll finds, as a slight majority of Americans now express prejudice toward blacks whether they recognize those feelings or not.

Those views could cost President Barack Obama votes as he tries for reelection, the survey found, though the effects are mitigated by some people’s more favorable views of blacks.

Racial prejudice has increased slightly since 2008 whether those feelings were measured using questions that explicitly asked respondents about racist attitudes, or through an experimental test that measured implicit views toward race without asking questions about that topic directly.

In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes,

— Jelani Cobb, professor of history and director of the Institute for African-American Studies at the University of Connecticut compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey.

When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election.

In both tests, the share of Americans expressing problack attitudes fell.

“As much as we’d hope the impact of race would decline over time ... it appears the impact of anti-black sentiment on voting is about the same as it was four years ago,” said Jon Krosnick, a Stanford University professor who worked with AP to develop the survey.

Most Americans expressed anti-Hispanic sentiments, too. In an AP survey done in 2011, 52

percent of non-Hispanic whites expressed antiHispanic attitudes. That figure rose to 57 percent in the implicit test. The survey on Hispanics had no past data for comparison.

The AP surveys were conducted with researchers from Stanford University, the University of Michigan and NORC at the University of Chicago.

Experts on race said they were not surprised by the findings.

“We have this false idea that there is uniformity in progress and that things change in one big step.

That is not the way history has worked,” said Jelani Cobb, professor of history and director of the Institute for African-American Studies at the University

Al-Qaida leader urges kidnappings of Connecticut. “When we’ve seen progress, we’ve also seen backlash.”

Obama has tread cautiously on the subject of race, but many AfricanAmericans have talked openly about perceived antagonism toward them since Obama took office.

As evidence, they point to events involving police brutality or cite bumper stickers, cartoons and protest posters that mock the president as a lion or a monkey, or lynch him in effigy.

“Part of it is growing polarization within American society,” said Fredrick Harris, director of the Institute for Research in AfricanAmerican Studies at Columbia University. “The last Democrat in the White House said we had to have a national discussion about race. There’s been total silence around issues of race with this president. But, as you see, whether there is silence, or an elevation of the discussion of race, you still have polarization. It will take more generations, I suspect, before we eliminate these deep feelings.”

Romney woos Fla.; Obama eyes N.H.

By Nancy Benac and Steve Peoples Associated Press

LAND O’LAKES, FLA. — Juggling politics and storm preparations, Mitt Romney dangled a plea for bipartisanship before early voters in Florida on Saturday as Barack Obama worked to nail down tiny New Hampshire’s four electoral votes.

Both campaigns scrambled to steer clear of a most unlikely October surprise, a superstorm barreling up the East Coast.

With just 10 days left in an extraordinarily tight race, Hurricane Sandy had both campaigns ripping up carefully mapped-out itineraries as they worked to maximize voter turnout and avoid any suggestion that they were putting politics ahead of public safety.

The campaigns pressed every possible angle in search of advantage — even paying attention to punctuation.

Obama’s campaign signs for months have said: “Forward.” Now they say: “Forward!”

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY, in the above photo at left, greets supporters as he campaigns Saturday at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Fla. AT RIGHT: President Barack Obama waves to supporters as he arrives for a campaign event at Elm Street Middle School on Saturday in Nashua, N.H. Romney, who has been striking a more moderate tone as he courts women and independents in the campaign’s home stretch, campaigned across Florida with a pledge to “build bridges” with the other party.

He coupled that message with digs at Obama for “shrinking from the magnitude of the times” and advancing an agenda that lacks vision. Noting that Obama supporters like to chant “four more years” at the president’s campaign rallies, Romney picked up

on his crowd’s own chant at the Pensacola Civic Center and said: “I like ‘10 more days’ a lot better.”

His warmup act was more biting: Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told the crowd that Obama was advancing “the ideas of countries that people come here to get away from.” Pressed later on what countries he was referring to, Rubio said, “any big-government country in the world” and specifically referred to Mexico and Latin America.

Obama hauled his campaign to New Hampshire,

BRIEFLY

where he told volunteers at a Teamsters hall in Manchester that: “We don’t know how this thing is going to play out. These four electoral voters right here could make all the difference.”

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the election.

Obama is ahead in states and the District of Columbia representing 237 electoral votes; Romney has a comfortable lead in states with 191 electoral votes.

The rest lie in nine contested states that are too close to call, New Hampshire among them.

CAIRO — The leader of al-Qaida has urged Muslims to kidnap Westerners to exchange for imprisoned jihadists, including a blind cleric serving a life sentence in the United States for a 1993 plot to blow up New York City landmarks.

In an undated two-hour videotape posted this week on militant forums, the Egyptian-born jihadist Ayman al-Zawahri also urged support for Syria’s uprising and called for the implementation of Islamic Shariah law in Egypt.

He said that abducting nationals of “countries waging wars on Muslims” is the only way to free “our captives, and Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman,” the Egyptian cleric.

“This is the only language which they understand,” said al-Zawahri, appearing in his customary white turban and robe. “We will keep on seizing more ... until we free our captives.”

Navy replaces admiral leading strike group WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy said Saturday it is replacing the admiral in command of an aircraft carrier strike group in the Middle East, pending the outcome of an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment.

Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette is being sent back to the USS John C. Stennis’ home port at Bremerton, Wash., in what the Navy

called a temporary reassignment. The Navy said he is not formally relieved of his command of the Stennis strike group but will be replaced by Rear Adm. Troy M. Shoemaker, who will assume command until the investigation is completed.

It is highly unusual for the Navy to replace a carrier strike group commander during its deployment.

Bombings, clashes leave truce in tatters BEIRUT — A Syrian warplane flattened a three-story building, suspected rebels detonated a deadly car bomb and both sides traded gunfire in several hotspots across the country Saturday, activists said, leaving a U.N.-backed holiday truce in tatters on its second day.

The unraveling of the cease-fire marked the latest setback to ending Syria’s civil war through diplomacy.

Foreign military intervention is unlikely, raising the grim prospect of a drawn-out war of attrition between President Bashar Assad and those trying to topple him.

The proposed four-day truce during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha had been a long shot from the start since international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi failed to get solid commitments from all combatants.

Fighting dropped off in the first hours of the cease-fire Friday, but by the end of the day, activists said 151 people had been killed in bombings and shootings, a standard daily toll in Syria.

BAGHDAD — Iraqi insurgents unleashed a string of bombings and other attacks primarily targeting the country’s Shiite community on Saturday, leaving at least 40 dead in a challenge to government efforts to promote a sense of stability by preventing attacks during a major Muslim holiday.

The bloodshed appeared to be the worst in Iraq since Sept. 9, when insurgents launched a wave of bombings and other attacks that left at least 92 dead in one of the country’s bloodiest days this year.

The attacks underscored the difficulties facing the country’s leadership as it struggles to keep its citizens safe. Authorities had increased security in hopes of preventing attacks during the four-day Eid al-Adha

celebrations, when people are off work and families gather in public places.

The deadliest attacks struck in the evening in the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City. Police said a car packed with explosives blew up near a market, killing 12 people and wounding 27. Half an hour later, a second car bomb went off in one of Sadr city’s bus stations, killing 10 and injuring 31.

Earlier in the day, a bomb exploded near playground equipment that had been set up for the holiday in a market on the capital’s outskirts in the eastern neighborhood of Bawiya. Police officials said eight people were killed, including four children. Another 24 people, including children, were wounded, they added.

“Nobody expected this explosion because our neighborhood has been

living in peace, away from the violence hitting the rest of the capital,” said Bassem Mohammed, a 35-year-old father of three in the neighborhood who was startled by the blast.

Elsewhere, a bomb attached to a bus carrying Iranian Shiite pilgrims killed five people and wounded nine, according to police. The bomb, hidden on the underside of the bus, detonated as the pilgrims were heading to a Shiite shrine in Baghdad to mark the holiday.

Authorities have said they planned to increase the number of checkpoints, shut some roads and deploy extra personnel during the holiday period.

They are also relying more on undercover intelligence agents, said Lt. Col. Saad Maan Ibrahim, a spokesman for the interior ministry.

EDITORIALS

Untimely issue This is the kind of issue that contributes to the perception that Lawrence is unfriendly to business development.

L

awrence city officials may be completely justified in requiring developers of a downtown hotel project to survey their site to determine whether it is an unmarked burial ground for several black soldiers killed in Quantrill’s Raid, but the issue should have been raised much earlier in the process.

While city commissioners already had moved ahead to a discussion of major traffic revisions at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, the city’s planning staff was sitting on a letter from the state archeologist that might make developers reconsider their decision to build a hotel project on the southeast corner of that intersection. If the city were going to require developers to incur the additional time and expense of test excavations to look for burial sites at that location, the developers had a right to know that before the project had progressed this far. This is the kind of interaction that has caused the city to be criticized as not friendly to business development.

One of developers’ most frequent complaints about the city planning process is that the rules keep changing as a project moves forward.

The situation with the possible burial site seems to be largely a matter of poor communication. Several opponents of the hotel project raised the issue during discussions of the project, but neither city commissioners nor the city’s Historic Resources Commission apparently were made aware that the state archeologist had notified City Manager David Corliss back in March that the state wanted to discuss doing test excavations on the site before any development permits were approved. The project has been approved by both the Historic Resources Commission and city commissioners, who also approved a $12 million incentive package for the project in July.

Through all of this process, city planning staff members were saying nothing about the letter from the state archeologist because they had decided that the question didn’t need to be raised until months later when a building permit or site plan for the project was being considered. Now, city officials are saying they are likely to require the developers of the project to do test excavations at the site. It’s easy to understand why developers would be displeased by this prospect. The rules may not have changed during the approval process, but the developers weren’t made aware of this potential wrinkle in a timely manner. Even if planners didn’t mean this to be an impediment, the timing of the excavation requirement gives the impression they are changing the rules or, even worse, seeking to stymie the project.

Lawrence certainly should be conscious and protective of its important history, and examining this site for preCivil War remains may be a worthy endeavor, but the manner in which this was handled by the city leaves much to be desired.

Time to halt the entitlement state WASHINGTON — The election eve mood is tinged with sadness stemming from wellfounded fear that America’s new government is subverting America’s old character.

Barack Obama’s agenda is a menu of temptations intended to change the nation’s social norms by making Americans comfortable with the degradation of democracy.

This degradation consists of piling up public debt that binds unconsenting future generations to finance current consumption.

So argues Nicholas Eberstadt, an economist and demographer at American Enterprise Institute, in “A Nation of Takers: America’s Entitlement Epidemic.” This booklet could be Mitt Romney’s closing argument.

Beginning two decades after the death of Franklin Roosevelt, who would find today’s government unrecognizable, government became a geyser of entitlements. In 2010, government at all levels transferred more than $2.2 trillion in money, goods and services to recipients — $7,200 per individual, almost $29,000 per family of four. Before 1960, only in the Depression years of 1931 and 1935 did federal transfer payments exceed other federal expenditures. During most of FDR’s 12 presidential years, income transfers were a third or less of federal spending. But between 1960 and 2010, entitlements exploded from 28 percent to 66 percent of federal spending. By 2010, more than 34 percent of households were

One reason work now is neither a duty nor a necessity is the gaming — defrauding, really — of disability entitlements.” receiving means-tested benefits. Republicans were more than merely complicit, says Eberstadt: “The growth of entitlement spending over the past half-century has been distinctly greater under Republican administrations than Democratic ones. Between 1960 and 2010, the growth of entitlement spending was exponential — but in any given year, it was on the whole over 8 percent higher if the president happened to be a Republican rather than a Democrat. ... The Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and George W. Bush administrations presided over especially lavish expansions of the entitlement state.”

Why, then, should we expect Romney to reverse Republican complicity? Because by embracing Paul Ryan, Romney embraced Ryan’s emphasis on the entitlement state’s moral as well as financial costs.

As evidence of the moral

costs, Eberstadt cites the fact that means-tested entitlement recipience has not merely been destigmatized, it has been celebrated as a basic civil right. Hence the stunning growth of supposed disabilities. The normalization and then celebration of dependency help explain the “unprecedented exit from gainful work by adult men.”

Since 1948, male labor force participation has plummeted from 89 percent to 73 percent.

Today, 27 percent of adult men do not consider themselves part of the workforce: “A large part of the jobs problem for American men today is not wanting one.” Which is why “labor force participation ratios for men in the prime of life are lower in America than in Europe.”

One reason work now is neither a duty nor a necessity is the gaming — defrauding, really — of disability entitlements. In 1960, an average of 455,000 workers were receiving disability payments; in 2011, 8.6 million were — more than four times the number of persons receiving basic welfare benefits under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Nearly half of the 8.6 million were “disabled” because of “mood disorders” or ailments of the “musculoskeletal system and the connective tissue.” It is, says Eberstadt, essentially impossible to disprove a person’s claim to be suffering from sad feelings or back pain.

“In 1960,” Eberstadt says, “roughly 134 Americans were engaged in gainful employment for every officially disabled worker; by December

2010 there were just over 16.” This, in spite of the fact that public health was much better, and automation and the growth of the service/ information economy had made work less physically demanding. Eberstadt says collecting disability is an increasingly important American “profession”: For every 100 industrial workers in December 2010, there were 73 “workers” receiving disability payments.

Between January 2010 and December 2011, the U.S. economy created 1.73 million nonfarm jobs — but almost half as many (790,000) workers became disability recipients. This trend is not a Great Recession phenomenon: In the 15 years ending in December 2011, America added 8.8 million nonfarm private sector jobs — and 4.1 million workers on disability rolls.

The radiating corruption of this entitlement involves the collaboration of doctors and health care professionals who certify dubious disability claims. The judicial system, too, is compromised in the process of setting disability standards that enable all this.

America’s ethos once was what Eberstadt calls “optimistic Puritanism,” combining an affinity for personal enterprise with a horror of dependency. Nov. 6 is a late and perhaps last chance to begin stopping the scandal of plundering our descendants’ wealth to finance the demands of today’s entitlement mentality.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 28, 1912: YEARS “The people of AGO the east are lookIN 1912 ing to the west in this great equal suffrage movement, according to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National Suffrage Association, who spoke here yesterday in behalf of the women of Kansas.

If the west favors suffrage and adopts the amendment this year then the east will take it up. In four years every political party will adopt a plank favoring equal suffrage and legislation will be enacted at Washington which will make equal suffrage national.”

Parents were right about winning, losing One guy was among the greatest losers in the history of politics, the other, one of the biggest winners in all of sports.

They were unalike men who shared little except recent headlines. But there was, in that brief juxtaposition, an object lesson for those who cared to see it.

The loser — George McGovern — made headlines by dying at age 90. He is famous for having been on the rump end of one of the most thorough election shellackings in history, cobbling together a measly 17 electoral votes in 1972 to Richard Nixon’s 520.

But there was more to him than that epic loss.

McGovern, a decorated World War II fighter pilot before he became a Democratic senator from South Dakota, was an icon of liberal idealism long before both liberalism and idealism fell out of fashion. He famously came out against the Vietnam War when people were being called traitors and communist sympathizers for so doing. Both in the Senate and after voters turned him out in 1980, he was a champion for humanitarian causes, sought to end hunger, expand civil rights, decriminalize marijuana.

Yet, though he took controversial stances and paid for it

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

There is nothing wrong with competing hard, with wanting to win, or with sacrificing to get there. Except when the thing you sacrifice is your own humanity.” politically, McGovern is remembered today as a man of uncommon decency and principle, a man who was true to himself. When he died, former GOP Sen. Bob Dole saluted him, writing in the Washington Post of how McGovern attended the funeral of Pat Nixon, wife of the man who handed him that bruising defeat. Asked why he would want to be there, McGovern replied, “You can’t keep on campaigning forever.” The remark, wrote Dole, was typical of his former political foe, “a true gentleman who was one of the finest public servants I

had the privilege to know.”

If you’ve got to be a loser, there are worse ways to be remembered.

And that brings us to the winner — Lance Armstrong — who made headlines by cheating, allegedly. Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour de France, has been dogged by allegations of doping for years. His steadfast defense has been that he never failed a drug test.

But a few days ago, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning report describing Armstrong as the ringleader of “the most sophisticated, professional and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.” The report, said to be based on sworn testimony from 26 people, including 11 former teammates, depicts him as threatening anyone who might rat him out and pressing other cyclists to join him in using banned substances.

And that was the final straw. Armstrong was formally stripped of his titles, banned for life, and dropped as a pitchman by Nike. He also stepped down from the cancer charity Livestrong.

Remember, once upon a time, when our parents told us, “It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. It’s how you play the game”? But the

spirit of the nation, the spirit of the age, is probably better summed up in the motto embraced by Al Davis, late owner of the Oakland Raiders: “Just win, baby.”

There is nothing wrong with competing hard, with wanting to win, or with sacrificing to get there. Except when the thing you sacrifice is your own humanity.

So one hopes the object lesson here is not lost on us, that it is taken to heart — not simply by athletes using banned substances, but by “journalists” committing plagiarism, by kids scamming their way through school, by politicians who stand on both sides of every issue, by the whole inauthentic, cutand-paste culture wherein appearance browbeats reality and cheating is so ubiquitous that, as a student caught up in a cheating scandal once put it, “it’s almost not wrong.”

There is something to be said for simply being who and what you say you are. In juxtaposing these two lives, these two fates, we learn that our parents were right, once upon a time. Better you lose with integrity than win seven times without.

Threat of superstorm causes mass evacuations

By Allen G. Breed and Wayne Parry Associated Press

SHIP BOTTOM, N.J. — Forget distinctions like tropical storm or hurricane. Don’t get fixated on a particular track. Wherever it hits, the rare behemoth storm inexorably gathering in the eastern U.S. will afflict a third of the country with sheets of rain, high winds and heavy snow, say officials who warned millions in coastal areas to get out of the way.

“We’re looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people,” said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

As Hurricane Sandy barreled north from the Caribbean — where it left nearly five dozen dead — to meet two other powerful winter storms, experts said it didn’t matter how strong the storm was when it hit land: The rare hybrid storm that follows will cause havoc more than 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.

“This is not a coastal threat alone,” said Craig Fugate, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “This is a very large area.”

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency Saturday as hundreds of coastal residents started moving inland and the state was set to close its casinos. New York’s governor was considering shutting down the subways to avoid flooding and half a dozen states warned residents to prepare for several days of lost power.

Sandy weakened briefly to a tropical storm early Saturday but was soon back up to Category 1 strength, packing 75 mph winds about 355 miles southeast

STORE WORKERS FLETCHER BIRCH, right, and Jay Kleman finish boarding up the windows on a surf store Saturday in Ocean City, Md., as Hurricane Sandy approaches the Atlantic coast. of Charleston, S.C., as of 8 p.m. Experts said the storm was most likely to hit the southern New Jersey coastline by late Monday or early Tuesday.

Governors from North Carolina, where heavy rain was expected today, to Connecticut declared states of emergency. Delaware ordered mandatory evacuations for coastal communities by 8 p.m. today.

Christie, who was widely criticized for not interrupting a family vacation in Florida while a snowstorm pummeled the state in 2010, broke off campaigning for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in North Carolina on Friday to return home.

“I can be as cynical as anyone,” the pugnacious chief executive said in a bit of understatement Saturday. “But when the storm comes, if it’s as bad as they’re predicting, you’re going to wish you weren’t as cynical as you otherwise might have been.”

The storm forced the presidential campaign to juggle schedules. Romney scrapped plans to campaign today in the swing state of Virginia and switched his schedule

for the day to Ohio. First lady Michelle Obama canceled an appearance in New Hampshire for Tuesday, and President Barack Obama moved a planned Monday departure for Florida to tonight to beat the storm.

What makes the storm so dangerous and unusual is that it is coming at the tail end of hurricane season and the beginning of winter storm season, “so it’s kind of taking something from both,” said Jeff Masters, director of the private service Weather Underground.

Masters said the storm could be bigger than the worst East Coast storm on record — the 1938 New England hurricane known as the Long Island Express, which killed nearly 800 people. “Part hurricane, part nor’easter — all trouble,” he said. Experts said to expect high winds over 800 miles and up to 2 feet of snow as far inland as West Virginia.

And the storm was so big, and the convergence of the three storms so rare, that “we just can’t pinpoint who is going to get the worst of it,” said Rick Knabb, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Untimely demise TEXAS 21, KU 17

Kansas stunned by late score

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Defense brings the heat

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The game plan called for more passing, but the “exotic” defenses the Texas Longhorns threw at the Kansas University football team on Saturday at Memorial Stadium forced the Jayhawks to adjust — right to their biggest strength.

Behind yet another career day from junior tailback James Sims and an offense that ran 56 times for 234 yards and threw just nine passes, the Jayhawks came within a play or two of beating Texas for the first time since 1938.

But a play-action pass on third and goal from UT backup quarterback Case McCoy to tight end D.J. Grant with 12 seconds remaining turned a three-point KU lead into the Jayhawks’ 17th straight Big 12 loss and proved to be the broom to KU’s confetti.

Texas 21, Kansas 17.

“It was a tough loss,” said Sims, who ripped off a career-high 176 yards on 28 carries. “Give Texas credit.

They finished the game. It’s crazy how a couple plays can change the game like that.

We work so hard, and it’s not our time. But we feel like it’s our time coming.”

It actually looked as if KU’s time had arrived for most of the afternoon. After punting on two of their first three possessions — the other one reached the UT fiveyard line but went backward from there and ended with an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth and 29 — the Jayhawks’ running game began to click. Of course, it didn’t hurt that run the ball was all Kansas did.

From KU’s final offensive play of the first quarter (an incomplete pass from redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Cummings to senior Kale Pick) until there were around nine minutes to play, the Jayhawks dialed up 33 consecutive running plays, eating up yardage and clock in the process.

DEFLATED KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENDERS GREG BROWN (5) AND BRADLEY MCDOUGALD make their way off Please see KANSAS, page 6B the field following the Jayhawks’ heartbreaking 21-17 loss to Texas on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

As the last of the heated benches that the Texas football team takes on the road so that the players stay warm was being loaded onto a truck, more than one person who had watched a near upset in sunny-but-cold Memorial Stadium no doubt uttered a question from a barstool: How did Kansas lose that football game?

Better question: How did a Kansas football team that now has a 17-game losing streak in Big 12 games almost beat a roster jammed with names that made headlines screaming the latest Texas recruiting victory?

The answer: The Kansas players who don’t run as fast, wiggle as smoothly, stand as tall and weigh as much as the Longhorns don’t need artificial means to ignite their desire to play the game.

The Kansas defense came up one play short on a few different plays during the final drive of Saturday’s 21-17 loss to Texas, but the unit that statistically and by every other measure was the worst in the nation last season showed just how far it has come in defeat.

“Heart,” KU running back Tony Pierson said of what his team’s defense showed him.

Heart beats heat every time if the talent is equal, which in this case it was not.

“That’s something we talked about this week,” KU junior linebacker Huldon Tharp said of the heated benches. “They’re kind of soft when it comes to the cold. Those Texas guys aren’t usually used to it.

Having a bunch of Texas guys on our team, you kind of notice as soon as they get here they aren’t used to that cold weather. Honestly, Please see KEEGAN, page 7B

Veritas cruises to state crown

By Andrew Hartsock ahartsock@ljworld.com

Technically — and with apologies to the runners-up — the championship match of the Kansas Christian Athletic Association state volleyball tournament Saturday was merely an afterthought.

Sure, afterward the victors jumped up and down and shared celebratory hugs and mugged for pictures. But as far as Veritas Christian School’s players were concerned, the title match came earlier in the day, when the Eagles were taken to three sets in the semifinal against the last team to beat them.

The Eagles rallied for a 25-20, 16-25, 15-12 victory over Sunrise Academy in the semis, then made short work

of the Wichita Homeschool Warriors, 25-19, 25-19, in the championship match at Free State High for their second state title in three seasons.

“It felt a little off,” Veritas junior Teri Huslig said. “The semifinal was a lot more intense, a lot closer. Both teams were great and really fought, and then we had to gather our energy for the finals.”

Or, as senior Abi Bartlow put it, “It was just surreal.”

Veritas, which finished with a school-best record of

33-3, was all shades of fired up for Sunrise.

Back on Sept. 15, the teams met in Wichita, and Sunrise won in straight sets. It was the only league loss of the season for Veritas.

“We played terrible,” Veritas coach Mike Bartlow said.

“We wanted a chance to play them again. We didn’t give them our best shot last time.”

It would prove to be their last loss of the season. They ended the year on a 25-match winning streak, but that was no sure thing Saturday.

They cruised through pool play Friday and Saturday with four straight-set victories, then beat Tyro Christian, 25-18, 25-11, in the quarterfinals Saturday to set up the semifinal meeting with Sunrise.

Veritas won the first set and lost the second, and Mike Bartlow saw a flicker of concern.

“I could see a little fear that they wouldn’t get out of the semifinals,” he said.

“But they rallied and played aggressively. Once we got through the semifinals, the pressure was off.”

To hear Abi Bartlow tell it, the Eagles weren’t afraid of Sunrise, nor were they scared they’d not reach the title game.

“I think what we were most afraid of,” she said, “was disappointing everyone who had put so much work into this.”

“I sensed a little bit of fear,” Huslig added. “We

MLB mulls safety measures for pitchers DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Major League Baseball is looking at ways to protect pitchers from being injured by batted balls such as the one that struck Doug Fister in the head, and says hat liners are a possibility in the minors next year.

The safety issue is on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fast track,â&#x20AC;? MLB senior vice president Dan Halem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we can come up with something,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making progress.â&#x20AC;?

MLB medical director Dr. Gary Green has been talking to companies about protective headgear for pitchers, Halem said. A report is on the agenda at baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter meetings in December.

A cap liner with Kevlar, the

high-impact material used by military, law enforcement and NFL players for body armor, is among the ideas under consideration.

Halem said baseball already was exploring options when Oakland pitcher Brandon McCarthy was hit in the head by a line drive last month, causing a skull fracture and brain contusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, it kind of pushed up our timetable,â&#x20AC;? Halem said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided to fast track it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible for 2013 in the minor leagues,â&#x20AC;? he told The Associated Press.

Fister was the latest pitcher to get hit. Gregor Blancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secondinning shot caught Fister on the right side of the head and flew about 150 feet, the ball traveling

so far that Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson picked it up on one hop.

Fister remained in the game Thursday night and worked into the seventh of a 2-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Tigers said a team trainer pronounced Fister fine on Friday.

Many youth leagues require pitchers to wear helmets. Getting big league pitchers to adjust to something new would certainly take time, plus the approval of the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something worth exploring,â&#x20AC;? Game 1 winner Barry Zito said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had high-profile examples of those injuries lately, what happened with Brandon and then here in the World Series.â&#x20AC;?

COMMENTARY

Hockey tumbling toward irrelevance

By Helene Elliott Los Angeles Times

The NHL put the â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? in November and continued its determined march toward irrelevance by canceling games through Nov. 30, an announcement that was expected following the silent expiration of its Thursday deadline for a labor agreement with the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association that would have preserved a full schedule.

A two-paragraph statement laid out the bare facts Friday: 326 games canceled by the lockout, 26.5 percent of the schedule. It could not possibly quantify the harm done to the loyalty of its famously passionate fans or the well-being of league, team and arena employees who are losing work and paychecks.

A league source estimated the NHL has lost $720 million in revenue, a figure soon to climb. Next on the chopping block, probably as soon as next week, is the showcase Winter Classic outdoor game, which is scheduled for Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium and requires extensive financial and logistical commitments by the NHL. The domino poised to fall after that is the All-Star game, scheduled for Jan. 27 at Columbus.

The league and the NHLPA professed disappointment over Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, but it rang hollow to lockout-numbed ears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term collective bargaining agreement that would have preserved an 82-game regular season for our fans. Unfortunately, that did not occur,â&#x20AC;?

NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that will be good for the game and our fans.â&#x20AC;?

Yup, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so committed to a resolution that when the union last week offered to meet to discuss the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oct. 16 proposal without stipulations, Daly refused on the grounds that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is nothing to meet about.â&#x20AC;?

And this all is for what?

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a philosophical debate, like the 1994-95 lockout that cut the schedule to 48 games. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no call for an economic overhaul, as the league said it needed when it canceled the 2004-05 season.

Despite getting a salary cap and controls, the NHL couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t restrain ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; excesses or uncanny ability to shred the new safeguards.

Zito said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard that MLB was looking into potential solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it to be too drastic,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little things can affect a pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delivery.â&#x20AC;?

Giants general manager Brian Sabean said there was merit to the study. Finding the right product would be the key, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would depend on how intrusive it is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pitchers would want it to be no irritant or agitant. The weight would be important.â&#x20AC;?

When he returned to the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after his accident, McCarthy said he would be willing to listen to ideas about protective headgear, provided it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact his pitching.

OKC trades Harden, Aldrich to Houston OKLAHOMA CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Unable to work out an extension with James Harden, the Oklahoma City Thunder traded the Sixth Man of the Year to the Houston Rockets on Saturday night, breaking up the young core of the Western Conference champions.

The Thunder acquired guards Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, two firstround picks and a second-round pick in the surprising deal that was completed Saturday night.

Oklahoma City also sent former Kansas University center Cole Aldrich and forwards Daequan Cook and Lazar Hayward to Houston.

The Oct. 31 deadline to Aldrich extend Harden or allow him to become a restricted free agent next July had been hanging over the Thunder from the moment they reported to training camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to sign James to an extension, but at the end of the day, these situations have to work for all those involved. Our ownership group again showed their commitment to the organization with several significant offers,â&#x20AC;?

Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were unable to reach a mutual agreement, and therefore executed a trade that capitalized on the opportunity to bring in a player of Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caliber, a young talent like Jeremy and draft picks, which will be important to our organizational goal of a sustainable team.â&#x20AC;?

The small-market Thunder had already signed Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and Serge Ibaka to long-term deals, and apparently realized Harden was going to want a bigger salary than they would offer.

The Thunder got back a good scorer in Martin, who has averaged 18.4 points in his eight NBA seasons, and a promising young player in Lamb, the No. 12 pick in the draft who helped Connecticut win the 2011 NCAA championship.

But Harden was a huge part of Oklahoma Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and had said he was even willing to sacrifice dollars in order to stay with the Thunder. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been unwilling to climb into the luxury tax, which will only become harsher under the new collective bargaining agreement.

Sore ankle hampers James MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; LeBron Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; twisted right ankle remained sore Saturday, though not enough for the reigning NBA MVP to be concerned about his status for Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-opener against the Boston Celtics.

James was shaken up twice in the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason finale Friday night, first when he turned the ankle in the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening minutes, then in the third quarter when he was inadvertently kicked in the face by New Orleans center Robin Lopez.

James was planning to get treatment for the ankle over the next couple days. He said he had no lingering aftereffects of the kick, which happened as he and Lopez jostled for a rebound.

The Heat open their title defense Tuesday against Boston. Miami got its roster down to the 15-player maximum on Saturday by waiving guard Garrett Temple.

Van Pelt, Garrigus tied at CIMB KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bo Van Pelt missed a chance for a 59 on Saturday when he closed with a double bogey in the third round of the CIMB Classic.

Van Pelt, the defending champion in the unofficial PGA Tour event, birdied four of the first six holes, then birdied five in a row from the eighth on the par-71 Mines Resort course. He had two more birdies to reach 11 under in the round and only needed one more to break 60.

However, he hit his approach on the par-4 18th into the greenside bunker and needed a chip and two putts to finish. He ended up with a 9-under 62 for a share of the third-round lead with Robert Garrigus at 16 under.

Garrigus had 69. Chris Kirk shot a 63 to move to 15 under.

Tiger Woods birdied five of the first eight holes, but had three bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine and finished at 69. He was 11 under.

Hanson, the KLM Open winner last month, had a 15-under 200 total at Lake Malaren.

The top-ranked McIlroy, the winner last year when the event was an unofficial tournament, had a 69.

MARTINSVILLE, VA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Denny Hamlin ducked under Matt Crafton with five laps to go and won the NASCAR Truck Series race Saturday at Martinsville Speedway.

The victory was Hamlinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second in the series and came as the championship standings were significantly jumbled.

Ty Dillon, who has led since mid-September, cut a tire with 48 laps to go and went from running sixth to finishing 28th.

James Buescher, one point behind Dillon to start the day, finished sixth to take a 21-point lead over Dillon.

The final eight laps featured a mad dash and Nelson Piquet Jr. wound up second, angering a lot of drivers with his aggressive driving.

Joey Coulter was third, Crafton finished fourth and Scott Riggs was fifth.

A PACK OF GIRLS RUNNERS STARTS the Class 6A state cross country race on Saturday at Rim Rock Farm.

Sanner paces LHS ————

Freshman 17th; FSHS boys 10th

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The respect Lawrence High freshman cross country runner Claire Sanner has for senior teammate Grace Morgan had the young runner inwardly battling her own competitive nature Saturday at the Class 6A state championship.

Morgan, a regional champion, led the Lions all season along. But the senior felt ill on the morning of the season’s biggest race and couldn’t push herself like normal at Rim Rock Farm. More than halfway through the 4K course, Sanner surpassed her ailing teammate and went on to finish 17th in 15:38.1, earning a state medal.

The freshman had never finished a race ahead of her mentor Morgan (27th, 16:00.3).

“At first I didn’t want to pass her because she’s the captain. She’s my friend,” Sanner said. “She told me to go on, and I knew she wasn’t feeling her best, so I just gave her encouragement and told her to tough it out.”

Obviously, Morgan would have preferred to finish higher, but as a team leader she wanted Sanner to do well, too.

“I was really excited when she passed me,” Morgan said, “because I’d been trying to tell her to just keep going.”

A little less than two weeks ago, at the Sunflower League championships, it took Sanner about 56 seconds longer to complete the Rim Rock Farm course. She said after the state meet that Saturday’s 40-degree weather helped her cause.

“I don’t get tired as easily,” she said. “I don’t know. It feels better.”

Free State junior Bailey Sullivan, who captured the final available state medal by finishing 20th in 15:42.8, agreed. Compared to league, her state time improved by 1:15.

“I’d take it over hot any day,” Sullivan said of the cold. “My legs were kind of numb for the first half of it, but it felt better than it would have on a hot day, and the ground was nice and hard, too.”

Sullivan said her goal at state had been to keep up with Sanner, which she managed to do, and she was surprised to finish ahead of the ailing Morgan.

“I felt really sad for her, just because she’s been so amazing,” Sullivan said about the LHS senior.

The game revived a rivalry that had been largely dormant since the 1960s, with only one meeting since then — in Bob Stoops’ first season as the Sooners’ coach in 1999.

The Irish won eight of the first nine meetings, including three times when they handed Oklahoma its only loss of the season — most notably in 1957, when the Sooners’ NCAArecord 47-game winning streak was snapped.

This meeting between two of college football’s two traditional powers was no different, and Notre Dame’s throwback defense gave the game a taste of days gone by.

Te’o and the secondranked Irish defense frequently gave up underneath passes but prevented them from turning into big gains, making the Sooners snap the ball over and over while the

Irish waited for a mistake that would snuff out the drive. Oklahoma’s first two red zone possessions ended with field goals, and the Sooners turned to backup quarterback Blake Bell and their “Belldozer” short-yardage run package to finally punch one in and tie it at 13 with 9:10 remaining.

Golson, who had to come out for the final play of the third quarter after getting flattened by Oklahoma’s Tony Jefferson, answered on the very next play with a 50-yard post pass to freshman Chris Brown — his first career reception.

It took five more plays for Notre Dame to punch it in from the 15-yard line, with Golson taking a shotgun snap for a quarterback draw and diving into the line from the 1 for the score.

Jones tried to rally the Sooners, but linebacker Dan Fox slammed into Saunders as the pass arrived and Te’o — seemingly always around the ball — was right there to pick it off.

Lunt returns to lead OSU to comeback against TCU STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — Teammates say they can tell more from Oklahoma State quarterback Wes Lunt’s demeanor than from the few words he utters. By the end of Saturday’s game against TCU, Lunt was all smiles after a successful return to the lineup.

Making his first start in six weeks, Lunt passed for 324 yards and a touchdown, and Quinn Sharp tied a school record with five field goals as Oklahoma State overcame a sluggish first half to beat TCU 36-14 on Saturday.

Lunt, playing for the first time since suffering a knee injury in a Sept. 15 game against LouisianaLafayette, started slowly but finished strong as Oklahoma State scored 36 unanswered points after falling behind 14-0.

The timing of his return was fortuitous for the Cowboys, who lost backup quarterback J.W. Walsh to a season-ending knee injury after a win last Saturday over Iowa State.

Lunt beat out Walsh and Clint Chelf in spring practice for the starting job.

“He got better as it went on,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said of Lunt. “I think his confidence is good. He’s very level-headed. He’s a very cerebral young man, and I don’t think he doubted himself. I just think it’s human nature, and he had to grow into it. He got hit

Jantz, ISU hold off Baylor, 35-21 IOWA CITY, IOWA (AP) — Steele Jantz set career highs with 381 yards passing and five touchdowns, and Iowa State held off visiting Baylor 35-21 to snap a two-game losing streak.

Jantz tied a school record with 36 completions to lead the Iowa State (53, 2-3 Big 12), who moved within one win of bowl eligibility for the third time in four years.

Jantz started for the first time since late September. He responded with one of the best quarterback performances in school history. Three of Jantz’s touchdowns went to Jarvis West, whose 22yard touchdown catch with 8:37 left made it 35-14 Cyclones.

Nick Florence threw for 426 yards and two touchdowns to lead Baylor (3-4, 0-4), which lost its fourth straight game.

Jantz wasn’t without his flaws. He threw a bad interception near the goal line to start the second half and fumbled with

2:08 left and the game essentially in hand.

But against a Baylor defense that entered play last in the nation with 44 points allowed per game, Jantz played better than he ever has for the Cyclones.

Jantz directed a 14-play, 81-yard scoring drive midway through the third quarter, which he finished with an 8-yard floater to a wide-open Jeff Woody to make it 28-14.

Baylor was driving deep into Iowa State territory when replays showed that star lineman Cyril Richardson appeared to kick Iowa State’s Brandon Jensen.

The Bears were pushed back 15 yards and Richardson was tossed from the game. Iowa State eventually took over on downs.

Jantz capped his comeback evening by rolling out of pressure and drilling West in the back of the end zone — perhaps his best throw on a night filled with good ones. Jantz tied Austen Arnaud’s school record with 36 completions on 52 attempts.

KANSAS STATE QUARTERBACK COLLIN KLEIN (7) BREAKS PAST Texas Tech safety D.J. Johnson for a touchdown during the second half on Saturday in Manhattan. The Wildcats took down the Red Raiders, 55-24.

KSU routs ranked foe again, 55-24 over Tech MANHATTAN (AP) — Bill Snyder moved at a brisk pace when he walked into his postgame news conference a few minutes after fourth-ranked Kansas State polished off a 55-24 victory against No. 15 Texas Tech.

Must not have had much to tell the team after that one, eh, coach?

“I’m working on my conditioning,” Snyder said flatly.

There’s always something to work on in Snyder’s world, though it might take a couple extra looks at Saturday’s game tape to find much to complain about, besides a slow start. The Wildcats led by a field goal at halftime before roaring through a big third quarter to their first 8-0 start since 1999.

Collin Klein threw for 233 yards and two touchdowns and had 83 yards and two more scores on the ground, bolstering his Heisman Trophy credentials. Arthur Brown returned an interception for a touchdown, John Hubert added two TDs rushing, and Angelo Pease also scored for the Wildcats.

“We were playing well defensively. Offensively, we hadn’t figured it out yet,” Snyder said of the shaky first half. “Sometimes you have to spar a little bit to get going.”

Evidently, the Wildcats (5-0 Big 12) found the sweet spot in the nation’s No. 7 defense.

They wound up going on a 52-7 run that spanned about 35 minutes, eclipsing the 50-point mark for the fifth time this season and putting up the kind of result that should help them in the polls — they trailed Alabama and Florida in the BCS standings coming into the game, and the Gators lost to No. 12 Georgia.

Seth Doege threw for 331 yards and two touchdowns for the Red Raiders (6-2, 3-2), but also had the costliest of interceptions.

Doege had thrown for 13 TDs in wins over West Virginia and TCU the last two weeks to jump into the Heisman conversation.

Of course, Klein is a major part of that discussion.

The senior quarterback, now 19-4 as a starter, joined kicker Martin Gramatica as the only players in school history with at least 300 points.

And his vastly improved passing game, a subject of such ridicule last season, is a big reason the Wildcats have been so prolific on offense.

The Red Raiders’ second-half meltdown was similar to last year’s matchup in Lubbock, when they blew a 28-20 lead against Kansas State by turning it over three times in the fourth quarter.

Things started off well enough for the Red Raiders.

Doege took advantage of soft coverage on the opening series of the game, completing six of his first eight passes. An encroachment penalty on third down kept the drive alive, and Doege finished it off with a 32-yard touchdown toss to Eric Ward.

The Wildcats, meanwhile, couldn’t get anything going.

Klein was sacked to end their first series, and had a pass tipped on third down to end their second. By the end of the quarter, Kansas State had just 19 yards of offense.

It was Kansas State’s defense that finally provided a spark when Meshak Williams delivered a crushing blindside hit on Doege, popping the ball loose. Jarell Childs went the other way for what appeared to be a 74-yard TD return, but an illegal block brought it back to the Texas Tech 14.

Kansas State had to settle for Anthony Cantele’s 34-yard field goal.

Ryan Bustin matched it with a 37-yarder to cap the Red Raiders’ next possession, but Kansas State finally started humming.

Hubert capped off its ensuing drive by winning a race to the pylon after getting stood up at the line of scrimmage to make it 10-all.

Bustin had a 50-yard field goal blocked on Texas Tech’s next series, and Kansas State’s quickstrike offense set up a 19-yarder by Cantele for the halftime lead.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

’Bods first KU foe J-W Staff Reports

The chance to start building upon last season’s success begins today for Kansas University’s women’s basketball team.

For the first time since their Sweet 16 loss to Tennessee this past March, the Jayhawks, led by ninth-year coach Bonnie Henrickson, take the floor today at Allen Fieldhouse for an exhibition against Washburn. Tipoff is 2 p.m.

KU finished 2011-12 with a 21-13 record and a Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament even though forward Carolyn Davis (16.9 points, 5.7 rebounds), now a senior, missed the final 11 games of the season due to an ACL tear in her left knee.

The misfortune, though, didn’t doom KU’s season.

Henrickson said Thursday at Big 12 media day in Dallas that point guard Angel Goodrich (14 points, 7.4 assists) rallied the team, making a postseason berth and a pair of NCAA Tourney victories possible.

“She made plays and got people uncontested

PROBABLE STARTERS Kansas G — Angel Goodrich, 5-4, sr.

G — Monica Engelman, 5-11, sr.

shots and made great decisions,” Henrickson said of the now-senior point guard. “But she got those young players to play at another level, and that’s what she continues to do today. But from a confidence standpoint, I think that is the most important thing we’re able to take with us from last spring.”

The coach also said last season’s freshmen forwards benefited somewhat from the injury to Davis. Now sophomores, Chelsea Gardner and Bunny Williams saw their responsibilities and minutes increase in Davis’s absence.

Henrickson also praised the play of guard Natalie Knight, also a sophomore, and said Williams and sophomore Asia Boyd

F — Dana Elliott, 5-11, sr.

improved more than anybody else on the team last season.

The Jayhawks return 75.7 percent of their scoring and 63.3 percent of their rebounding from a year ago. However, despite KU’s postseason success and the return of Davis, the Jayhawks didn’t quite crack the preseason Top 25. Kansas received 90 votes in the first poll of 2012-13, to trail No. 25 DePaul’s 104 votes.

The Jayhawks are 4-0 versus Washburn in exhibition contests dating back to 2000. In the teams’ last meeting in 2010, KU defeated the Blues, 80-46.

Kansas holds a 40-9 alltime record in exhibition games and has won 31 of its last 33 preseason contests.

Traylor looks like T-Rob Kansas BIG 12 CROSS COUNTRY

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jamari Traylor grinned when asked if he’s ever been approached by somebody who thinks he’s former Kansas University basketball All-American Thomas Robinson.

“That happens all the time, more than I like,” Traylor, KU’s 6-foot8, 220-pound red-shirt freshman power forward, said of folks tapping him on the back t h i n k ing he’s T-Rob. “I Traylor guess they think I look like him. I don’t know if it’s me putting on weight or me just looking like him or something. Hopefully it stops.

Once I get out there, people will know it’s me.”

KU coach Bill Self, whose Jayhawks open the exhibition season against Emporia State at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Allen Fieldhouse, isn’t ready to compare Chicago native Traylor with the 6-10, 240-pound Robinson, the No. 5 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

“Thomas is an inch or two taller and outweighs him by 20 pounds. Other than that, they are just alike,” Self said with a smile.

“I think Jamari is a better athlete as far as quicktwitch and being explosive. He’s just not as big.

The thing about Thomas that is so great is if he got one mitt on the ball ... I mean he was fierce, a tough, competitive rebounder. He was unbelievable at 50-50 balls. I don’t know if Jamari is at that level. Jamari is going to be good, but we’re talking about a guy 19 years old who hasn’t played basketball. He played one year of high school a little bit.

“In Europe (this past summer), he looked good in practice, but the game is faster. It will take time,” Self added. “He is a competitive kid. He has great bounce and energy. You can’t expect him to do anything remotely close to what Thomas did even as a sophomore. Maybe some of the things Thomas did as a freshman we’ll see out of Jamari as well.”

Traylor, who practiced second semester last season but could not play in games in accordance with NCAA partial-qualifier rules, is ready to get started in actual games.

“Tuesday will be ex-

citing. I know it will be a weight lifted from my shoulders, and I know I’m going to give it my all,” Traylor said. “It’s definitely been a year (since he last played at Florida’s IMG Academy). It seems longer than that. I’ve been determined to get out there.”

Traylor, who has been described as a fierce rebounder, said he put in countless hours in the gym to expand his game this past summer.

“I worked on my offense a lot,” said Traylor, who may be even more important to KU’s team now that senior Kevin Young is out 10 days to two weeks with a broken bone in his right hand. “I can knock down open shots. I can also make plays for my team a lot better than I could last year. I like to think I have a feel for the ball. I’m getting a lot of loose balls and rebounds. I think that’s where I’ll contribute this year.”

He said sitting out a year has made him extra eager for this year’s debut.

Red-shirt freshman guard Ben McLemore, who like Traylor arrived as a partial-qualifier, said Traylor has been an inspiration.

“Ben just tries so hard,” McLemore said. “In the classroom, I got a 3.2 (GPA), and he got a 3.3. He did great. Watching him helped me stay focused in class, too.” !

Jackson cut by Jazz: Former KU forward Darnell Jackson has been cut by the Utah Jazz, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Jackson played in six exhibition games, averaging 1.7 points and 0.7 rebounds.

The 6-9 forward, who played in Ukraine last year, played in 138 games with Cleveland, Milwaukee and Sacramento.

“He’s always been a tough-nosed type of player,” Utah’s Al Jefferson told the Salt Lake Tribune in lobbying to keep him on the team. “Go hard every time you step on the court.

So when I found out he was in our camp, I knew it was going to be a very physical camp, that he was going to make you step up and play hard. He’s always been that way.

“When he gets on that court, he’s a machine, he’s gonna make you play. We’re friends off the court, but he’s going to go at you on the floor, and that’s the type of guy you need. It’s not my decision, but a guy like him, every team needs a guy like him on it.”

men place fourth

J-W Staff Reports

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Kansas University’s men’s cross country team placed fourth Saturday at the Big 12 Championships, totaling 121 points for its highest conference finish since 2006.

The KU women had 173 points to finish seventh.

Oklahoma State won the men’s meet, and Iowa State claimed the women’s championship.

Led by sophomore Evan Landes, KU’s men placed all seven of its scoring runners in the top 35 of the 8K race.

Landes placed 17th in 24:27. Senior Donny Wasinger took 21st in 24:34, making him a top-40 finisher in each of his four conference championship races. Sophomore Reid Buchanan was 25th in 24:40, and sophomore James Wilson 30th in 24:50.

Senior Josh Baden (24:53) and junior Josh Munsch (24:57) were 33rd and 34th, respectively, and freshman Gabe Gonzalez (24:58) was 35th.

“I thought the men performed really well today,” KU coach Stanley Redwine said. “It was great to see how they competed together. When one started falling back another picked it up and really kept the team going.

We’re very excited about the fourth-place finish.”

Senior Kyra Kilwein led the KU women, placing 21st in 6K race in 21:40.

Freshman Hannah Richardson took 24th in 21:41, senior Kathleen Thompson was 42nd in 22:16, senior Tessa Turcotte 43rd in 22:16, junior Natalie Becker 60th in 22:53, sophomore Liza Tauscher 63rd in 23:04 and senior Devin Wiegers 64th in 23:08.

Kansas will compete in the NCAA Midwest Regional on Nov. 9 in Springfield, Mo. “The guys have a really good chance to make it to the NCAA,” Redwine said, “and for the girls to do it they will need to do something special. So we’re looking for both teams to step up and hopefully make to the NCAAs.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SAFETY LUBBOCK SMITH (1) DRAGS DOWN Texas running back Johnathan Gray during the first quarter. Texas managed a 21-17 victory over the Jayhawks on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Texas ‘woke up’ at halftime ————

Longhorns forced to rally for victory over KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Texas football coach Mack Brown, whose Longhorns barely defeated down-on-itsluck Kansas University on Saturday in Memorial Stadium, sees better days ahead for the Jayhawks.

“They are going to beat somebody here. I’m just glad it wasn’t us,” Brown said after his UT team (6-2, 3-2) needed a touchdown pass with 12 seconds left to overcome the Jayhawks, 21-17.

“They played TCU down to the wire here (20-6 loss), Oklahoma State down to the end here (20-14 loss) and did the same with us. They couldn’t have hired a better coach than Charlie (Weis).

He’s a great coach. His guys are playing hard. It was a good crowd. It was loud.

You can tell they are headed in the right direction.”

The Jayhawks (1-7, 0-5), who have now dropped 17 straight Big 12 Conference games, still have games remaining on the road versus Baylor, Texas Tech and West Virginia and at home versus Iowa State on Nov. 17.

“What I thought about was

“

HOW THEY SCORED

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I kind of figured that they would try to do different things to try to rattle Michael,” KU coach Charlie Weis said. “And we had enough things in the run game to try to take the pressure off if they did that. We had some passes called early where they got to us, so I just shut it down and said, ‘OK, we’re gonna just grind it out and grind it out and grind it out, and we’re gonna do more of that in the second half. It leads to low-scoring games, but it at least put us in position to win the game.”

Added Cummings: “We came out and just tried to grind the football and make it a smash-mouth football game the whole time. We enjoy playing physical football.”

Sims, whom Weis now comfortably calls the best running back in the Big 12, did most of the damage, but sophomore Tony Pierson (12 carries, 51 yards) and junior Taylor Cox (6-28) also delivered crucial carries that kept the Jayhawks (1-7 overall, 0-5 Big 12) in the game.

Touchdown runs from Christian Matthews — yep, even the quarterbackturned-wide receiver took a couple of true handoffs today — and Pierson on backto-back drives in the second quarter put the Jayhawks up 14-7 at the half, and KU played with a lead for much of the day.

Texas tied the game on an 11-yard run by wide receiver and U.S. Olympic Team sprinter Marquise Goodwin with 9:41 remaining, but the Jayhawks, backed by a rocking crowd of 40,097, answered Goodwin’s touchdown by jumping back in front on a 29-yard field goal

‘We’re lucky to be at 14-7, and we blew some opportunities.

We’ve got to go back and put pressure back on Kansas and win the game. It’ll probably be a fourth-quarter game. Just get yourself ready and I want everybody into it.’ I thought in the last half, everybody tried as hard as they could.”

McCoy hit five of seven passes for 68 yards and one TD; starter Ash was 8-for-16 for 63 yards and two interceptions.

“I really think our team and coaches decided just to dig down deep and decided to fight,” McCoy said. “We came out slow and sluggish.

That’s something we can’t do any more the rest of the year.

We got lucky and were able to get out of here with a win.

Our whole team decided to dig deep.”

Texas coach Brown said he’d evaluate the QB situation after the team returned to Austin. He did not name a starter for Saturday’s game at Texas Tech.

“I’m so proud of this team that they won. Thank goodness,” Brown said. “We’re bowl-eligible. We’re 6-2, right where we were last year, and moving forward.”

A HANDFUL OF KANSAS FANS WATCH with dismay at Memorial Stadium. from sophomore kicker Nick Prolago with 2:28 left.

“I thought (we) showed some mental toughness,” said Weis of the 14-play, 61yard drive that took 7:07 and set up the field goal. “Not physical toughness, I thought (we) showed some mental toughness. How many times have we talked about, ‘Here we go again?’ That’s not how they acted. It wasn’t a, ‘Here we go again.’”

Added Sims of the 14-play drive: “It was exciting in there. It was college football.

It was a close game, and we knew it was gonna be a battle so we said, ‘Let’s just finish it,’ and that’s what we did.’”

Well, almost.

The KU offense certainly did its part, and the defense, at times, looked as if it was ready to make this the breakthrough moment for Weis’ version of The Little Engine That Could.

But, like his older brother Colt had done so many times before him, McCoy led the Longhorns to a game-winning touchdown, overcoming a near-interception on the first play and a fourth and six three plays later.

“Normally, you say we didn’t close the game,” Weis

said. “Well, I think they made some plays.”

The biggest of them all came with just over a minute remaining, when McCoy hit wide receiver Mike Davis for a 39-yard gain down the KU sideline that gave the Longhorns a first and goal at the KU three. After initially calling timeout to allow his defense to regroup, Weis said he left the clock-management decisions up to defensive coordinator Dave Campo.

After having runs stuffed on first and second down, the Longhorns (6-2, 3-2) broke through with the pass on third down. Game over.

“I was visualizing it,” said Sims of what it would be like to beat Texas.

After a long pause and a sigh, senior safety Bradley McDougald also demonstrated that his squad’s latest close call stung a little more.

“It’s gonna hurt for a while,” he said. “I love the effort. We’re headed in the right direction, but I don’t know if we’ll really know if we’re headed in the right direction unless we go to Waco (Nov. 3 vs. Baylor) and play the same way because that means we’re playing with consistency.”

FIRST QUARTER 10:53 — Joe Bergeron 3 run.

Anthony Fera kick. After the Texas defense drove KU back on its opening drive, the Longhorns took over in KU territory and drove 43 yards in four plays and 1:44 to take the early lead.

Johnathan Gray had the big run for UT on the drive, rumbling 31 yards on the Longhorns’ first play from scrimmage. On Bergeron’s touchdown run, the bruising back was hit behind the line of scrimmage but drove a pile into the end zone. (UT 7, KU 0).

SECOND QUARTER 12:06 — Christian Matthews 15 run. Nick Prolago kick. KU picked up some momentum on a five-play, 98-yard drive that covered 2:09 and featured a 64-yard run from tailback James Sims, who went over the 100yard mark for the day on the drive, which started at the KU two-yard line. (UT 7, KU 7).

7:16 — Tony Pierson 11 run. Prolago kick. After KU’s initial score of the day, the defense turned Texas away with a three-and-out, and Cummings led a seven-play, 63-yard drive that featured three runs of 11 yards or more. The first came from Sims and the last two from Pierson. (KU 14, UT 7).

FOURTH QUARTER 9:41 — Marquise Goodwin 11 run.

Fera kick. Texas turned to back-up quarterback Case McCoy for this drive, and the younger brother of former UT great Colt McCoy handed off seven times on a drive that spanned 84 yards in 3:23 and featured four different Longhorns carrying the ball.

KU’s defense took a serious hit on the third play of the drive when starters Jake Love and Toben Opurum both had to be helped off the field because of injuries. (KU 14, UT 14).

2:28 — Nick Prolago 29 field goal.

After giving up the game-tying score to the Longhorns, the Jayhawks responded with arguably their best drive of the season. It spanned 61 yards in 14 plays and took 7:07. Most of the damage was done by Sims and Pierson on the ground, but a huge pass-interference call on a pass intended for Andrew Turzilli sparked the drive, and Prolago capped it by connecting on his first career fieldgoal make. (KU 17, UT 7).

0:12 — D.J. Grant 1 pass from Case McCoy. Fera kick. After taking the late lead, KU had the Longhorns facing a fourth-and-six from their own side of the field, but McCoy delivered a strike to Jaxon Shipley, and two plays later hit Mike Davis for a 39-yard gain that set up the game-winning touchdown pass to a wide-open Grant in the end zone.

The Longhorns’ final drive covered 70 yards in nine plays and 2:10. (UT 21, KU 17).

NOTEBOOK

KU has success in ‘secret’ formation

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The name of the formation was not divulged, with quarterback Michael Cummings even going so far as to call it “a secret,” but a new-look offensive wrinkle for Kansas University’s football team proved successful for the Jayhawks during Saturday’s 21-17 loss to Texas.

The formation, which multiple players said was known simply as “No. 12 at running back,” featured Cummings, flanked by wide receiver Christian Matthews and fullback Nick Sizemore, taking the snap from center while standing a few steps in front of speed back Tony Pierson.

The first time the Jayhawks ran it Saturday, Matthews kept the ball and raced in for a 15-yard touchdown. One series

later, Matthews delivered an option-style pitch at the last second to Pierson, who picked up three yards and a first down. Pierson scored on the next play.

“We put that specific play in this past week,” Cummings said. “But the formation and the personnel has been in all year.”

Matthews, who has been used just about everywhere except for his original position of quarterback during his KU career, said he liked the package because it gave KU so many different ways to pick up yardage.

“I’ve never really played running back here before,” Matthews said.

“I’m just glad (KU coach Charlie Weis) has the confidence to put me in and handle things like that. I could care less how many yards I get or how many touchdowns I gain. We just want to win a game.”

Cummings consistent Making just the second start of his career, Cummings ran the KU offense well, delivered a couple of timely throws and, generally, looked comfortable as the Jayhawks’ leader.

“He was never really flustered,” said Weis of his QB who finished the day 3-of-9 passing for 39 yards. “I felt the same thing last week against Oklahoma. I’m sure there’s going to be things on the tape that we say, ‘Well, why did you do this?’ Or, ‘Why did you do that?’ But at the end of the day, I think the kid wasn’t flustered. At this point right now in the growing process, composure is a very key ingredient.”

The humble Cummings said he did not sense much difference between his first start and his second start — only that the team played better as a whole Saturday. To him, though, that meant very little.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Georgia jars No. 3 Florida from unbeatens completed 16 of 23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns and had nine carries for 90 yards and three scores.

Auburn (1-7, 0-6) has lost five straight.

The Associated Press

No. 12 Georgia 17, No. 3 Florida 9 JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — The Bulldogs stopped the Gators from every angle, forcing six turnovers on Saturday to put themselves on the cusp of the Southeastern Conference title game.

The victory gave Georgia consecutive wins in the series for the first time since 1989.

The Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) did little on offense until Aaron Murray found Malcolm Mitchell for a 45yard touchdown with 7:11 remaining that put them ahead 17-9.

Georgia sealed its fifth victory in the last 23 games in the rivalry with — what else? — a defensive play.

Jarvis Jones knocked the ball out of Jordan Reed’s hands near the goal line, and teammate Sanders Commings recovered in the end zone with 2:05 left.

Jones had another huge game against Florida (7-1, 6-1), and the Bulldogs responded as well as possible to safety Shawn Williams’ criticism of “playing too soft” earlier in the week.

No. 1 Alabama 38, No. 13 Mississippi St. 7 TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — AJ McCarron passed for 208 yards and two touchdowns and Alabama reached the end zone on its first three possessions in a victory over Mississippi State.

The Crimson Tide (80, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) quickly turned the meeting of unbeaten SEC West teams into a mismatch, rolling toward a national title game rematch at No. 6 LSU. The Bulldogs (7-1, 3-1) came in averaging 36.7 points a game but didn’t score until the final minutes.

They had been leading the nation in turnover margin but lost two fumbles and an interception.

No. 2 Oregon 70, Colorado 14 EUGENE, ORE. — Kenjon Barner rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns, and Oregon easily took care of Colorado in advance of next weekend’s Pac-12 showdown with USC. De’Anthony Thomas rushed for another score and added a 73-yard punt return for a touchdown before most of the Ducks’ offensive starters were pulled midway through the second quarter. Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota passed for 136 yards and two TDs. The Ducks (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) built a 56-0 lead by halftime and their 70 points were the most they’d ever scored against a conference opponent. It was Oregon’s 11th straight overall victory dating to a 38-35 loss at home to USC last season.

Christian Powell rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns for the Buffaloes (1-7, 1-4), who lost their fourth straight.

The Ducks piled up 617 yards in total offense, including 425 on the ground, and the Buffs simply could not keep up. Colorado went into the game ranked 112th in the nation on defense, allowing an average of 489 yards. Oregon had 447 by halftime.

No. 9 Ohio State 35, Penn State 23 STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Braxton Miller was his usual self, running for 134 yards and accounting for three touchdowns a week after getting knocked out of a game, leading Ohio State to a victory against Penn State.

Ryan Shazier returned an interception 17 yards for a score early in the third quarter that gave the Buckeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) the lead for good, and the Nittany Lions (5-

GEORGIA COACH MARK RICHT, LEFT, CELEBRATES after the Bulldog’s 17-9 victory over Florida, as Gators tight end Jordan Reed, in photo at right, cries on the sideline after fumbling near the goal line late Saturday in Jacksonville, Fla. 3, 3-1) had their five-game winning streak snapped in a matchup of the Big Ten’s bowl-banned perennial powers.

Miller missed the fourth quarter against Purdue after a hard tackle sent him to the hospital with a case of whiplash. He declared himself good to go by the midweek.

Was he ever. The Heisman campaign can resume.

The sophomore quarterback reached 100 yards rushing for the sixth time this season, carrying 25 times, and only avoiding contact when it was convenient.

Arizona 39, No. 10 Southern Cal 36 TUCSON, ARIZ. — Matt Scott had 469 total yards and accounted for four touchdowns, helping Arizona overcome a huge day

by Southern California’s Marqise Lee. Lee caught 16 passes for a Pac-12-record 345 yards and two touchdowns to help USC (6-2, 4-2 Pac12) build a 15-point lead midway through the third quarter.

But Scott led Arizona (5-3, 2-1) back, throwing for 369 yards and three touchdowns, including a 7-yarder to David Richards that put the Wildcats up 39-28 with just over 5 minutes left.

The Trojans answered quickly with Silas Redd’s second rushing touchdown, from 10 yards, but remain stuck on 799 wins as a program after Matt Barkley’s last-ditch pass into the end zone was swatted down.

Scott finished 27-for50 passing and ran for 100 yards before missing Arizona’s final possession with an undisclosed injury.

Austin Hill had 10 catches for 259 yards to help the Wildcats hold on for the upset victory after coming up just short against the Trojans a year ago.

Barkley threw for 493 yards and three touchdowns on 31-of-49 passing, but threw two interceptions. USC had five turnovers and 13 penalties for 117 yards as its national championship hopes faded.

No. 17 South Carolina 38, Tennessee 35 COLUMBIA, S.C. — Connor Shaw threw three touchdowns and ran for another score, and South Carolina overcame the loss of tailback Marcus Lattimore.

Tyler Bray had driven the Vols to South Carolina’s 19 with 1:08 left when he was hit from behind by defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. The ball popped loose and linebacker Shaq Wilson recovered.

Tennessee (3-5, 0-5 Southeastern Conference) forced a punt and got the ball back with 36 seconds to go, but Victor Hampton intercepted a long pass from Bray to close it out for South Carolina.

More pressing, though, is the loss of Lattimore to a serious injury. The junior was taken to a hospital after hurting his right knee in the second quarter.

Shaw finished with a career-high 356 yards passing and the Gamecocks (7-2, 5-2) rolled up 510 yards after managing only 368 combined the previous two weeks in losses at LSU and Florida. Tight end Justice Cunningham had six catches for 108 yards and receiver Bruce Ellington had six catches for 101 yards as South Carolina won three straight over the Vols for the first time in a series that began in 1903.

Bray passed for 368 yards and four touchdowns, three to Zach Rogers.

Kent State 35, No. 18 Rutgers 23 PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Defensive end Mark Fackler returned his second interception 25 yards for a touchdown, and Kent State forced five other turnovers in its biggest win since it started playing football in 1920.

The Golden Flashes (71) had been 0-22 against ranked teams, but they ended the best start for Rutgers (7-1) since the Scarlet Knights were 9-0 in 2006.

Nebraska 23, No. 20 Michigan 9 LINCOLN, NEB. — Ameer Abdullah ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and Nebraska took control of the Big Ten Legends Division with a 23-9 victory over Michigan.

Wolverines quarterback Denard Robinson left the game late in the first half with a right elbow injury. Robinson, who spent the second half on the sideline in an overcoat, watched as freshman backup Russell Bellomy threw three interceptions.

The Huskers (6-2, 3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Michigan in the Legends but own the tiebreaker.

Michigan (5-3, 3-1) generated a season-low 188 yards during its first visit to Memorial Stadium since 1911. The Wolverines had 52 in the second half.

It was the second straight game Michigan failed to score a touchdown.

No. 21 Boise State 45, Wyoming 14 LARAMIE, WYO. — D.J. Harper rushed for 105 yards and two touchdowns to lead Boise State to its seventh straight win.

No. 22 Texas A&M 63, Auburn 21 AUBURN, ALA. — Johnny Manziel ran for three touchdowns and passed for two more — all in a little more than a half — and Texas A&M beat struggling Auburn.

On eight possessions led by Manziel, Texas A&M (6-2, 3-2 Southeastern Conference) scored seven touchdowns. The only non-scoring drive run by the freshman nicknamed “Johnny Football” ended with a missed 48yard field goal by Taylor Bertolet on the final play of the first half.

Manziel was in the game for only one series in the third quarter before watching the remainder of the rout from the sideline. He

Miami (Ohio) 23, No. 23 Ohio 20 OXFORD, OHIO — Ohio gambled by going for one more play instead of a tying field goal, and Tyler Tettleton was sacked as time ran out.

The Bobcats (7-1, 3-1 Mid-American Conference) went for it all in their first game as a ranked team since 1968, when they finished the season at No. 20. They had a little history on their side — Ohio had won the last six games in one of the MAC’s edgiest rivalries.

Instead, the rivalry got another notable ending.

Kaleb Patterson kicked a 31-yard field goal with 1:24 left, giving Miami (44, 3-1) the lead with its first fourth-quarter points in the last three games. It was up to one of the nation’s worst defenses to hold on.

Tettleton drove Ohio in range to tie it, completing four passes and running twice for 17 yards. His last scramble took the Bobcats to the 7-yard line with 9 seconds left and no timeouts.

Coach Frank Solich chose one more play, going for the win rather than sending it to overtime right away. Tettleton took the snap, saw no one open and held onto the ball instead of throwing it away, giving his receivers time to get open.

No. 24 La. Tech 28, New Mexico St. 14 LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Quarterback Colby Cameron led a late-surging Louisiana Tech offense as the Bulldogs beat New Mexico State.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Two teams floundering near the bottom of the standings, meeting in late October, shouldn’t be enough to stoke the passions of fan bases weary of losing.

Unless it’s the Chiefs and Raiders.

There are few fiercer rivalries than this AFC West match-up of teams with proud traditions that have fallen on the hardest of times. This will be their 107th meeting, and so rarely has so little been on the line when they’ve met this early in a season.

The Raiders are 2-4 after rallying for an overtime win over the Jaguars last Sunday, while the Chiefs had a much needed week off following a miserable 1-5 start.

“Any game, you’re always desperate to get a win,” Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour said, “and you can throw the records out in this game, when you look at the Raiders and Chiefs.

It’s always hard-fought football and I don’t expect anything less this Sunday.”

Hard-fought might be a relative description this time, though.

The Raiders have won five straight at Arrowhead Stadium, but they haven’t won on the road since the last time they visited Kansas City last December.

That includes a 35-13 rout at Miami and a 37-6 spanking by Peyton Manning and the Broncos earlier this season.

Of course, the Chiefs haven’t exactly been defending the home turf.

Kansas City is 3-10 over its last 13 games at Arrowhead Stadium, once regarded as the loudest and most intimidating venue in the NFL. That includes blowout losses to Atlanta and San Diego and a 9-6 defeat to Baltimore that only Bronko Nagurski could have loved.

Things have been so bad that Chiefs fans hired an airplane to tow a banner at their last home game asking for the general manager to be fired and the quarterback to be benched.

Well, they got at least half of what they wanted.

Scott Pioli is still calling the shots in Kansas City, but Matt Cassel has become one of the NFL’s most highly paid backups. Brady Quinn started in his place two weeks ago at Tampa Bay when Cassel wasn’t cleared to play following a concussion, and over the off week, coach Romeo Crennel made the decision to stick with the former first-round draft pick under center.

“Look, they’re a division opponent. It’s a big game for us. Our focus is purely on the task at hand, and the objectives we’re trying to accomplish,” said Quinn, no stranger to intense AFC West rivalries after spending last season in Denver.

“We need every single person rooting for us and cheering for us, come good or bad.”

There’s been no shortage of bad this season, though Cassel’s a big part of that.

He was completing about 58 percent of his passes for 230 yards of game, most of that when games were out of hand.

And his nine interceptions and five fumbles lost made him more turnover prone than just about any other TEAM in the NFL through their first five games.

Quinn was 22 of 38 for 180 yards with two interceptions — both on tipped

passes — at Tampa Bay. It was his first start since 2009, when he was with the Browns.

“We haven’t seen him in a while, so what we saw last game in Tampa, I thought he managed the game well,” Crennel said.

“He showed some poise in the course of the game, and as I mentioned, he was rusty. I think that he will get better with more reps and also more playing time.”

Quinn could hear a lot of boos from the hometown fans when he takes the field today.

Call it collateral damage.

His big right tackle, Eric Winston, will be playing at Arrowhead for the first time since his inflammatory comments following a loss to Baltimore. Winston called some fans who cheered when Cassel was hurt over the course of that game disgraceful, a stance on which he’s never wavered — although he has clarified to say it was only a small percentage of fans cheering.

So in many ways, the crowd today has the potential to be hostile toward everyone.

It’s certainly going to be difficult on the Raiders, if for no other reason than the Chiefs’ hated rivals haven’t lost in Kansas City since Nov. 19, 2006.

“I don’t know there’s any advantage to be had,” said first-year Raiders coach Dennis Allen.

“When we kick the ball off on Sunday, it’ll be our players trying to execute against the Chiefs’ players, and whoever executes best will probably win the game.”

WORLD SERIES

.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Giants one victory away from title ————

San Francisco posts second straight shutout for 3-0 lead over Detroit DETROIT (AP) — Nothing is stopping them — not even the Triple Crown winner at the plate with the bases loaded.

Armed and accelerating, the San Francisco Giants became the first team to throw consecutive World Series shutouts in nearly a half-century, blanking Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers, 2-0, on a chilly Saturday night for a commanding 3-0 lead.

“I’ll say this: The club is playing well,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

No team has ever blown such a huge margin in the World Series. And with the way Ryan Vogelsong, Tim Lincecum and the Giants are pitching, it seemed unlikely the Tigers would even score a run, yet alone win a game.

Gregor Blanco hit an RBI triple and trotted home on Brandon Crawford’s single in the second inning, and that was ample for the Giants. Timely hits, combined with another dominant effort on the mound and sharp defense put them close to their second title in three years.

After playing a nearly perfect Game 3, the Giants will turn to Mr. Perfect Game himself — ace Matt Cain — to try for a sweep tonight against Max Scherzer.

At this rate, it appeared only a bailout by the San Francisco staff could help the Motor City.

Don’t count on it.

Switching to an AL park, chilly weather and a crowd of towel-waving fans ready to rock didn’t slow ’em down at all.

“Well, it’s a good situation, but there’s nothing been done yet,” Bochy said. “It’s a number, just

like I said about two. Now it’s three. But that’s not the Series.”

The Giants won their franchise-record sixth straight postseason game, and haven’t trailed in any of them.

“We couldn’t get the killer hit or the killer blow,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.

Vogelsong, a career journeyman whose path to the World Series took a detour to Japan, improved to 3-0 with a 1.09 earnedrun average in four starts this postseason.

“I knew my stuff was pretty good,” Vogelsong said. “I was really pumped up to be out there.”

Vogelsong induced two early double plays, then faced his stiffest test in the fifth.

The bases were loaded with one out when Vogelsong fanned rookie Quintin Berry. That brought up Cabrera, honored on the field before the game with an actual blue-andgold crown for his Triple Crown accomplishments.

With the fans chanting “M-V-P!” and likely sensing the whole Series was riding on this at-bat, Vogelsong seemed completely calm while chew-

ing gum. He won the match-up, too, getting an easy popup that prompted Cabrera to slam his bat to the ground and elicited cheers in the San Francisco dugout.

Lincecum took over with two outs in the sixth, and the two-time reliever looked as if he had been coming out of the bullpen his whole life and shut down the Tigers.

Closer Sergio Romo finished off the combined five-hitter with his second save of the Series.

Blanco punctuated the ninth inning with his latest fancy grab, a sprinting catch into foul territory in left field.

Combined with Madison Bumgarner’s effort in Game 2, San Francisco threw the first consecutive shutouts in the Series since Baltimore in 1966, when Jim Palmer, Wally

Bunker and Dave McNally did the trick to finish off the Dodgers.

Shut out only twice all year, the Tigers once again looked lost at the plate. When fan favorite Prince Fielder struck out in the eighth, some boos bounced around Comerica Park. Big hitters with teeny numbers, Cabrera and Fielder are a combined 3 for 19 against the Giants.

“It is what it is,” Fielder said.

The fearsome Tigers have totaled a mere three runs and 15 hits while hitting .165 in three games, and were shut out twice in a row for the first time since April 2008.

Only one team in baseball history has overcome a 3-0 deficit in the postseason, with Boston doing it in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees.

“Well, you don’t really have to tell them anything.

They can count,” Leyland said. “They’re big guys, they know what the situation is.”

For the Tigers, it was the sixth straight Series loss dating to 2006 against St. Louis. They got a fine effort from pitcher Anibal Sanchez this time, but it wasn’t enough against these Giants.

It was 47 degrees at gametime, a drop of 17 from Thursday night at AT&T Park, and the Tigers clearly knew this was their chance to pull back into the Series.

Soon enough, Game 3 took on a familiar look.

During the Giants’ early two-run burst, Detroit’s body language said all you needed to know about this Series. At one point inbetween pitches, Cabrera put his hands on his hips at third base, shortstop Jhonny Peralta scuffed the dirt, second baseman Omar Infante turned his back to the infield, and Fielder stared down at first.

Día de los Muertos observers honor deceased in colorful ways, find more meaning in holiday than in Halloween

DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS EVENTS

mthomas@ljworld.com

About 10 years ago, the day came when Lawrence resident Laura Ramburg’s children were too old to continue to go trick-or-treating on Halloween. As a fan of the holiday, Ramburg wanted to continue to celebrate the special time of year but wasn’t sure how. She began to dig deeper into its meaning, and instead of continuing her Halloween traditions, she started participating in a different holiday.

She began celebrating Día de los Muertos and ended up finding more meaning and joy in this celebration than dressing up her children and taking them out to get candy. She made an altar honoring the lives of her deceased father and grandparents and decorated the space with flowers and artwork.

Celebrations in Kansas After Ramburg began celebrating Día de los Muertos at home, she began talking about it with others, and interest to have a community celebration grew. As a member of the board of directors at the Lawrence Percolator, Ramburg helped to organize the first Día de los Muertos celebration with the organization.

Since then, the celebration at the Percolator has grown. This year, participants can bring their own photos and offerings to place on altars already set up, or they can create their own altar.

“Talking about death and processing death is a very important thing to do, and our culture doesn’t do it very well, so I think there’s some work that needs to be done there,” Ramburg says.

“This gives people a little bit more space to express their love and express their grief in positive ways.”

Despite the traditional offerings and honoring of loved ones, the celebrations of Día de los Muertos in Lawrence and surrounding areas is different than in Mexico or

AN ALTAR CREATED FOR DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS is seen Friday at the Lawrence Percolator. The Percolator will have a grand celebration for the Mexican holiday this Friday that will feature food, artists and music.

says Peter Haney, assistant director for the KU center of Latin American studies.

During Día de los Muertos, people visit grave sites, attend church services, make offerings and also make their own altars at home for their dead loved ones. Offerings at altars and graves include food, such as sugar skulls and breads, and art, such as paper flowers, masks, paintings and drawings.

Haney says the art connected with Día de los Muertos isn’t just visual; there are also many satirical poems and stories published and performed as part of the holiday. Some of them poke fun at public figures; others tell stories of cemeteries and what the afterlife, or rebirth, is like.

“It’s a way to celebrate loved ones who’ve passed on and reflect on the transitory character of life with a paradox of reverence and humor,” he says.

Many Día de los Muertos celebrations don’t take place at actual gravesites because art organizations are the ones hosting the celebration, says Christina Valdivia-Alcala, the Día de los Muertos Topeka citywide festival co-chairwoman.

Crossing cultural paths Valdivia-Alcala, a Mexican-American living in Topeka, says she had celebrated her loved ones through a full-time altar at her house but knew very little about the indigenous component of her heritage until she began planning the citywide celebration of Día de los Muertos.

“Our (Mexican) culture was continuing to be revitalized through celebrations ... (planning the event) we learned just as much and welcomed people into this that are not Latino,” Valdivia-Alcala says.

Much of the excitement surrounding the holiday

is from the immigrant and Mexican-American community, Valdivia-Alcala says, but just as much, if not more, interest is generated from Anglo-Americans.

Ramburg is one of many who celebrates the holiday but is not Hispanic. She believes Día de los Muertos is about making death beautiful and “making something beautiful is a universal act.”

“I’m a human being, and this holiday addresses that, and a human being needs to honor and remember their people,” Ramburg says.

The celebration of Día de los Muertos is from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at the Lawrence Percolator, Ninth and New Hampshire streets in the alley behind the Lawrence Arts Center, and is free and open to the public. There will be a performance by El Día de los Muertos Community Band as well as food and art.

Guests are encouraged to bring photographs and other offerings for the altars.

THEATER PREVIEW

‘Dog Sees God’ turns ‘Peanuts’ inside out

By John Phythyon Jr.

What if Charlie Brown wasn’t perpetually 8 years old but instead grew up a little, went to high school and began questioning everything, including the existence of an afterlife and his sexual identity?

“Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead,” an unauthorized parody of “Peanuts,” tries to answer those and other questions. Authored in 2004 by playwright Bert V. Royal, the play, currently being performed by the Kansas University Theatre, turns the characters and the world of Peanuts inside out. Pig-Pen has become a germophobic jock, Linus is a pot-smoking, high school philosopher, his sister, Lucy, has been institutionalized for setting the Little Red-Haired Girl’s hair on fire, and everybody’s favorite beagle?

‘DOG SEES GOD’

“Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead” runs today, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Inge Theatre at Kansas University.

The show contains strong language and simu-

Well, the play opens right after he’s been euthanized because he got rabies and killed a small, yellow bird.

Royal has changed the names of the characters to avoid copyright infringement — Peppermint Patty is now Tricia, Schroeder is Beethoven, etc. — but they are all familiar and recognizable. Audiences won’t have any trouble determining who’s who.

“This play hit me like a bolt of lightning,” says Danny Devlin, the doctoral student in theater, who’s directing the new production at University Theatre.

lated instances of alcohol and drug usage by teenagers.

Tickets range from $10$15 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 785-864-3982 or online at kutheatre.com.

“Like the first time I heard The Ramones, or saw ‘The Godfather’ or read ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ I couldn’t shake it. I still can’t.”

Despite the designation, “parody,” Royal doesn’t try to make fun of “Peanuts.”

“It’s very funny,” Devlin says about the play, “but it treats its subjects with a great deal of sensitivity.”

And those subjects are broad and intense: teen suicide, homosexuality, underage drinking and drug use, what happens after death, bullying and grief over the

loss of a friend. Audiences familiar with the sentimentality of Charlie Brown’s holiday TV specials might be surprised to find the Peanuts gang dealing with this type of mature subject matter.

“I think the stark cynicism of Charles Schulz is lost in the sentimentalism of the TV specials,” Devlin says. “‘Dog Sees God’ is honest to Schulz’s intention. He had children asking these existential questions about life. Bringing these characters into adolescence and having them deal with all the problems modern teenagers face points to the fact that adolescents are stuck between childhood and adulthood.”

Devlin first came to the play in 2010 around the time there were several high-profile suicides by gay teenagers. In particular, Tyler Clementi’s death at Rutgers University affected him.

“These were teenagers that, like me at their age, didn’t have the perspective afforded by a couple of years of distance,” he says. “The difference between me and them was that their reality, their mythic self, their intrinsic sense of importance about right now was defined by bullying, by an uninvited, unwanted, horrible daily violence.”

But is Charlie Brown the right character to tell this story? Do audiences really want to see him question his sexuality and grieve over a dead Snoopy?

“The script really demands you not be afraid of the reaction,” Devlin says of the potential of audiences not liking seeing familiar characters in very unfamiliar situations. “Otherwise the production reflects that fear.

“The script does a good job of standing on its own.

It’s uncompromising, unforgiving.”

And if it seems strange to have characters we’ve grown up with talking about sex and dropping F-bombs, Devlin contends Royal is respectful of the original material.

“He treats the characters with reverence,” he says. “This is an honest, if theatricalized, version of what kids are dealing with today.”

He hopes that’s what stays with people. While noting that the adolescent problems portrayed in the play are taken to an extreme level, Devlin believes it is an important show that has a lot to say.

“I hope this play sticks to people as it stuck to me,” he says. “I hope it encourages the audience to stand up to bullies, to treat people with the decency and respect they deserve.

I hope they’ll offer help to someone in need.”

‘King Lear’ for kids: Theater company isn’t scared

By Mark Kennedy Associated Press

NEW YORK — “King Lear” may be Shakespeare’s greatest work, but, let’s face it, it’s also grindingly grim.

The reasons are simple: There’s great suffering, a man descends into madness, two families are torn apart and there’s a very high body count, not to mention some eye-gouging.

It’s definitely not for kids.

Or is it?

The Royal Shakespeare Company is currently on an international tour with a stripped-down version of the play that’s targeted to children as young as 8, most of whom have never

seen any Shakespeare.

Instead of a four-hour “Lear,” this one clocks in at just 75 minutes.

“I suppose the purists would say, ‘It is a terrible thing that you have done,’” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, the director of education for the company. “But we’re thinking about how we can introduce young audiences to the pleasure and enjoyment and excitement and thrill of Shakespeare’s work. A four-hour production is not going to do it if you’re 8 and 9 and 10 and 11.”

The company’s Young People’s Shakespeare production has arrived in New York for an 11-performance stand at the Park Avenue

I suppose the purists would say, ‘It is a terrible thing that you have done.’”

— Jacqui O’Hanlon, the director of education for the Royal Shakespeare Company

Armory following a tour of the United Kingdom.

It next goes to Ohio State University from Wednesday through Nov. 10.

The play, edited and directed by Tim Crouch, is set in the modern era between Christmas and New

Year’s Eve. The nineperson cast uses props like a reindeer costume, a snow globe and Christmas lights. Lear, played

by Paul Copley, begins the play as a jaunty Santa, handing out presents.

At the armory, some 90 sixth- and seventh-graders from The New School for Leadership and the Arts in the Bronx seemed delighted by show one afternoon last week.

“Gross!” roared the crowd when the character Edgar pulled out grimy clothes and put them on to disguise himself as a mad beggar. He looked like something all these urban kids were familiar with: a homeless man.

The music leans on classic 1950s Christmas tunes, including “Let It Snow” — with the lyric “Oh, the weather outside is frightful” — during Lear’s storm of madness. The scenic design is obviously limited — the throne is a wheelchair — but it leaves enough room for imagination.

There were moments when the fourth wall completely vanished, as when the children were asked to hold props or when a character does a magic trick, making a handkerchief disappear.

“Slap me in the face,” Ben Deery, who plays Edmund, asked a startled gradeschooler at one point. “Slap me in the face!” Deery re-

peated. The child finally did as he was told, lightly brushing Deery’s cheek with a wide smile. Deery insisted it be harder, and the delighted child complied.

Catherine Miller, a teacher at the Bronx public school, admitted she was a little leery at first about “Lear” but was delighted to find it so accessible. Her children told her that many of the plot lines were similar to what they watched on TV or at the movies.

“It gives them a nice taste for Shakespeare,” she said. “Afterward I had a student ask me for an unabridged version of ‘King Lear,’ and I gave it to her. She was just involved by the story.”

TOWN TALK RESTAURANT ROUNDUP

Esquina to close; Italian restaurant to take its place

T

here’s a shake-up coming to downtown Lawrence’s fine dining scene. Esquina, 801 Massachusetts, is set to close at the end of the month, and a new Italian restaurant is set to take its place.

Word of Esquina’s demise came quickly. A tipster (thank you, by the way) notified me that servers of the restaurant had been told it would soon close. Before I could get the news confirmed, Esquina sent out a message to its mailing list saying the restaurant’s last day in business would be Wednesday.

The message doesn’t go into much detail about the decision of the partners — Robert and Molly Krause and Simon and Codi Bates — to close Esquina, which recently had shifted from a Mediterranean-focused menu to something billed as “new American cuisine.” The group also owns the Lawrence and Topeka Burger Stand restaurants, where the message also says there

are “new opportunities.”

No word on whether that means a new location or just something new at the current locations.

As for the Esquina space, according to the message, a longtime leader at the famous Charlie Gitto’s “On the Hill” restaurant in St. Louis has struck a deal to open an Italian restaurant called “Intorno” there. The name, Italian for round, pays homage to the unique architecture of the building and its longtime tenant, the Round Corner Drug Store.

The restaurant will feature classic Italian fare prepared in the same style and manner as found in the Charlie Gitto’s “On the Hill” res-

The Eighth Annual Wild West Film Festival, where local filmmakers have 48 sleepless hours to write, shoot and edit a short film based on one central theme or idea, will screen its top 25 entries at 7 p.m. today at Liberty Hall. This oneof-a-kind event is sure to bring out some great talent, and this year the competition was expanded to include entries from Los Angeles, where tons of Kansas University film graduates are currently employed.

Speaking of Liberty Hall, the cinema will present a double feature from Edgar Wright, a master of inventive genre mashups like “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” His first two movies, the zombie film love letter “Shaun of the Dead” and buddy-cop tribute “Hot Fuzz,” are showing Wednesday at 7 p.m. in 35mm. Wright has a style that’s all his own and a dry sense of humor that’s still fresh today.

“We’ll be giving out prizes to people wearing the best movie-themed costumes (including cinema passes and zombie-apocalypse survival gear),” says cinema manager Mick Cottin.

Timberlake posted an open letter on his website Friday saying he didn’t know about the video or contribute to it.

He says the video “was made as a joke on me” and wasn’t shown at his wedding in Italy last week.

Timberlake calls the video “distasteful” and

says he’s deeply sorry to anyone offended by it. But he acknowledges that it was made by wellTimberlake meaning friends.

The 19-second video is titled, “Greetings from your Hollywood friends who just couldn’t make it.” It shows three people who obviously don’t know the famous couple greeting them with wedding wishes.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

Uncorking Tannin’s top wine list A

s much as I love drinking, one might expect me to frequent wine bars. But that’s simply not the case.

It’s not that I don’t enjoy wine — I do! In fact, my very-soon-to-be husband and I belong to Cellar and Loft (525 Walnut), an unpretentious wine club in Kansas City’s River Market district that hosts regular tastings for members and delivers two moderately priced bottles to our doorstep for $30 a month (they deliver to Lawrence; check out their beer offerings).

With that, and my frequent swings through the grocery store booze department (sorry, Kansas!) our Ikea shelf-cum-liquor cabinet is always wellstocked.

I just consider myself an equal opportunity wine consumer, and most of the time I’d rather not spend my hard-earned dollars on wine when a $4.99 bottle of Jacob’s Creek Shiraz does the trick. Truth be told, I doubt I could tell the difference between a $5 bottle or $50 bottle of dry anything.

Still, I appreciate those who can identify the unique characteristics of a particular wine. And I understand what goes into making a good bottle.

I even get why people pay good money for good vino. I’m not telling you to take my word for it when I say that if you love good wine, or want to impress someone who does, you should visit Tannin Wine Bar and Kitchen (1526 Walnut, Kansas City, Mo.). But you should take the Internet’s word for it.

Museum spotlights Broadway costume collection

By Kelli Kennedy Associated Press

POMPANO BEACH, FLA. — Box by box they arrived, the once glittering costumes of Broadway legends and theatre memorabilia, now dirty, tattered and forgotten. There were painstakingly hand-beaded bodices and garments worn by Julie Andrews, Carol Burnett and Vanessa Williams, each more unkempt than the next, stored on rusty hangers and covered in black soot.

It was to be one of the largest collections of Broadway costumes in the country. There were more than 500 boxes in all, newly purchased by Marilynn Wick to add to her multimillion dollar collection of costumes at Costume World, which she rents to professional theatres and high school productions.

Wick and her daughter Kimberly surveyed the treasures they had just purchased at a 2005 auction: a Judy Garland hat, probably from her TV show; Ginger Roger’s red sequin dress from “Hello Dolly”; Lou Diamond Phillip’s exquisite jewel encrusted jacket costume from his Tony-winning role in the “The King and I”; and Nathan Lane’s gangster suit from “Guys and Dolls.”

They knew they had to share it. “We were going through boxes, and I said, ‘Kim, are we really going to rent Judy Garland’s hat?’” said 69-year-old Marilynn Wick.

The mother-daughter duo opened a museum in 2011, showcasing more than one million costumes from nearly 50 shows, guiding daily tours through a nondescript South Florida warehouse against a backdrop of hand painted sets and a marquee replica from storied Broadway theaters like the Winter Garden.

It took seamstresses months to restore the garments. One spent six months on Julie Andrew’s ivory and gold beaded dress from “My Fair Lady.”

Kimberly Wick, a seamstress with a flair for the dramatics, narrates the tour, wearing a flowing, peach gown from the musical “Titanic,” charming the crowd with behindthe-scenes tidbits along the way.

There’s the time Pearl Bailey was too tired for her multiple costume changes (several are on display) in “Hello Dolly” and asked

A RE-CREATED SET FOR THE PLAY “DRACULA THE MUSICAL” housed in a Pompano Beach, Fla., museum is seen Oct. 3. Marilynn Wick and her daughter Kimberly opened the museum in 2011, showcasing more than 1 million costumes from nearly 50 shows.

the audience if she could perform in the same dress throughout the show. Eighteen thousand trim balls were hand-sewn onto the silk costumes from the cast of “Once Upon a Mattress,” including Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress. (The Wicks no longer rent out costumes from that show because the delicate silk is now threadbare.) They even have the dress Parker wore in her role opposite husband Matthew Broderick in “How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.”

The Wicks own Julie Andrew’s dress from the Broadway show of “My Fair Lady.” They tried to buy the iconic blackand-white striped dress Audrey Hepburn wore in the film at an auction several years ago, estimating it would cost about $100,000. But it sold for more than $3 million, Kimberly Wick says. “My Fair Lady” is their most valuable collection: they even own the dress patterns.

All the costumes are displayed under the gleaming light from of the original chandelier from Tavern

on the Green restaurant, of course.

“We were bidding against Donald Trump. He got six. We got one,” Kimberly Wick said.

After the tour, the audience dons white gloves and paws through racks of costumes from “Pippin” to “The Producers.”

The Wicks stumbled into the costume business accidentally. Kimberly Wick, then 12, and her sister were bored one muggy South Florida summer day in the 1980s, so their housekeeper helped them sew a Santa costume. They stitched a few more, put an ad in the paper and were met with a steady stream of customers wanting to rent a suit for $25 a pop.

Their mother saw a business opportunity and opened up a storefront in South Florida where she made $250,000 the first Halloween. In 1990, she made a deal to provide all the clown costumes to the legendary Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.

The single mother said she fell in love with the theater decades ago when she saw her first Broad-

way play at age 7. Little by little, she purchased costumes and Broadway trinkets from auctions. She now runs four costume stores around the country, a division that rents costumes to theaters and the museum.

“I figured out a way to make Broadway part of my everyday life,” she said.

Once the Wicks obtain a show’s wardrobe, they look at the historic value of the show and decide whether to restore it to display or whether it’s more valuable to rent.

It costs up to $145 to rent a Broadway costume, but nearly half their business comes from much cheaper high school rentals — they handle about 50 productions a year.

“The Producers,” ‘‘Guys and Dolls,” ‘‘The King and I” and “42nd Street” are currently in heavy rotation.

They also receive frequent phone calls from the White House press secretary and handle costumes for shows at Army bases around the world, as well as national historic libraries.

For many of the shows, the Wicks own multiple sets: the original Broadway costumes, the Broadway revivals and two or three that their own wardrobe company has recreated to rent out for school productions.

The Wicks possess nearly 25 of Harold Hill’s reversible band jacket from “The Music Man.” And yes, all 76 jackets, hats and trombones are in storage above the museum.

Political rallies shine with star power

By Matthew Daly Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Baseball great Hank Aaron is a Barack Obama guy. Golf legend Jack Nicklaus is in Mitt Romney’s camp.

From athletes and astronauts to singers and Hollywood stars, a growing line of celebrities is turning up at fancy dinners and rallies to build support and get out the vote for Obama or Romney, the president’s Republican challenger.

Obama has entertainers like Bruce Springsteen, Katy Perry, George Clooney, Beyonce and Jay-Z. Romney’s supporters include Clint Eastwood, musicians Kid Rock and Lee Greenwood and comedian Dennis Miller. Often the Democratic ticket attracts younger and glitzier stars.

Both campaigns have spent huge amounts of time and effort making sure their rallies feature opening acts that reinforce a campaign message, whether it’s the economy, health care, veterans or some other issue.

Nicklaus, who now designs golf courses, teed up Romney at a campaign event near Columbus, Ohio.

The golfer said he’s had to lay off workers because of the struggling economy. “We can’t keep

GOLF LEGEND JACK NICKLAUS, RIGHT, WELCOMES Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to the stage during a campaign rally Sept. 26 in Westerville, Ohio. Whatever their political beliefs, some artists perform an age-old ritual: warming up the crowd before a political rally, generating enthusiasm and all-important buzz for events that otherwise could be overlooked in a crowded news cycle. doing what we’ve been doing. We have to look at the problems at hand and change them,” he said.

On the Democratic side, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder ripped into Romney at an Obama fundraiser in Florida. Vedder said he was upset by Romney’s caught-on-tape comments that 47 percent of Americans consider themselves victims and entitled to government help. If Romney wins the White House, “none of those 47 percent of people would have a voice,” Vedder said.

Aaron, who wore No. 44 for the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, urged a crowd in Wisconsin to re-elect Obama, president No. 44. Appearing with Obama in Milwaukee, Aaron said one of the most touching moments of his life was when Obama was elected as the country’s first black president.

“As one who wore the number 44 on his back for decades, I ask you to join me in helping the 44th president of the United States hit a grand slam,” said Aaron, the last Negro

League player to compete on a major league roster.

After retired space-shuttle astronaut Sid Gutierrez trumpeted Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan in Florida last month, Obama countered with his own famous former astronaut. Former Ohio Sen. John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, appeared with a rally with the president.

Singer will.i.am, who wrote the song “Yes We Can” for Obama’s 2008 run, also was on stage that day.

Obama joked that the singer “sometimes looks like he’s been to outer space,” while Glenn “has actually been to outer space.”

Celebrity warm-up acts may draw news coverage, but they’re unlikely to have a lasting effect on the election, said Darrell West, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution think tank.

Even so, appearances by high-profile supporters can validate candidates “by taking them out of the political realm into popular culture,” West said.

“Voters are cynical about candidates and think they will say anything to win,” West said.

“Having a nonpolitical opening act gives politicians credibility at a time of massive cynicism.”

Katy Perry wears her ballot at Obama rally LAS VEGAS — Katy Perry’s doing her best get-out-the vote effort: At a rally for President Barack Obama, she wore a tight white dress imprinted like a ballot, and a square box on her right hip filled in the names of Obama and Joe Biden.

Perry gave a free concert Wednesday at a park in a historically minority neighborhood just northwest of downtown Las Vegas to screaming fans at about 9 p.m., the same time Air Force One landed at McCarran International Airport across town.

Obama later told the crowd, “I believe in you. I need you to keep believing in me.”

The Las Vegas campaign event drew more than 10,000 people, according to fire officials and organizers, with long lines still on sidewalks during Perry’s 30-minute performance before Obama arrived.

The singer opened with

BOOKS Dark tales set in K.C. ?

WHAT ARE YOU

READING

By Adam Strunk

By Gary Henry

It might not be the greatest press for Kansas City.

The 14-tale short-story collection “kansas city noir,” published in 2012 by Akashic Books, New York City, features dark and twisted fiction set in recognizable locations amid the City of Fountains.

Editor Steve Paul, who in his day job is senior writer and arts editor for Jeff Karr, the Kansas City Star, says student, he didn’t tell his contribuNewton tors what he meant by “‘Consider the Lobster “noir,” but they figured it and Other Essays’ (by Da- out. vid Foster Wallace). I love While these aren’t the it. He’s super hilarious and dark private-eye tales creative. He takes ordiof the “film noir” movie nary instances and turns genre, they are as replete them into stories.” with shadows, menace and grim desperation as any 1940s detective flick.

They take place throughout Kansas City — Country Club Plaza and Mission Hills to 18th and Vine and the West Bottoms. Characters are equally varied: a swindler’s daughter, a mass murderer’s son, a dying cop, a deadly widow, bums, perverts, psychos, and ordinary people who Alan Redd, took a wrong turn someprofessor, where to find themselves Lawrence trapped in their own pri“‘Bad Science’ (by Ben vate purgatories.

Goldacre). It was about There’s little in the bad science under difway of happy endings. A ferent guises. He doesn’t few protagonists manage suffer fools.” to fight to a draw before darkness swallows them.

Many aren’t that lucky.

Locations are meant to be the stars of the show.

Screenwriter Mitch Brian (“Last Night at the Rialto”) ties his locales into the story in a particularly ingenious way. While planning a fiery revenge on his employer, movie projectionist Rance recalls Aleksandra Milewski, student, Shawnee “‘The Art of Fielding’ (by Chad Harbach). It’s like a coming-of-age baseball novel. It takes place in a liberal arts college.”

Mike Fredette, English teacher, Lawrence “‘This is How You Lose Her’ (by Junot Díaz).

This book is all about the Dominican-American immigrant experience. It’s great. The vignettes are totally absorbing.”

motion pictures filmed locally — even giving a surprise nod to Lawrence: “Marty had a print of ‘Prime Cut’ because a lot of it was shot around the stockyards in the West Bottoms, at the Muehlebach Hotel and along the Missouri River. But the big chase scene was shot outside Lawrence at the Douglas County Fair. When the sequence started up and Lee Marvin was rescuing Sissy Spacek, there was the local sheriff, ol’ Rex Johnson himself, up on the screen. The hippies in the audience roared with

laughter. They booed and jeered like he was the villain, not Gene Hackman.

Somebody even threw popcorn. It was a disaster. The hippies had ruined the show. Before the next showing took place, the projectionist snipped the sheriff out of the print and the movie went just fine. He showed those (expletive) hippies who was running things.

He saved the movie. Up in the booth, the projectionist was king.”

One thing these mostly violent stories have in common is that each is crafted by a master sto-

ryteller. Grim as they are, these tales are compelling, like the oft-cited slow-motion train wreck. The stories are hard to witness, but harder to put down.

The awards and achievements listed in the “about the contributors” section at book’s end will come as no surprise.

These are accomplished writers.

Their ranks include Daniel Woodrell, whose 2006 novel “Winter’s Bone” was adapted into an Oscar-nominated film.

For “kansas city noir,” Woodrell penned “Come Murder Me Next, Babe,” set partially on 12th Street.

Catherine Browder, whose story of female violence, “The Incident,” is set in Kansas City’s Northeast, has had plays produced regionally and in New York. She’s won fellowships from the NEA and the Missouri Arts Council. Browder teaches in the creative writing program at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

Most of the “kansas city noir” authors have a work or residence connection with the city.

Other writers who penned stories for “noir” include Matthew Eck, Nancy Pickard, John Lutz, J. Malcolm Garcia, Kevin Prufer, Linda Rodriguez, Nadia Pflaum, Phong Nguyen and Andres Rodriguez.

Dark as their stories are — by design — they’re still a glowing example of the literary muscle Kansas City can muster.

Maybe “kansas city noir” isn’t such bad press for the city after all.

The book is available at the Raven Bookstore, 6 E. Seventh St., and online at Amazon.com.

Anthology adds graphics to Lovecraft tales

By Tish Wells McClatchy Newspapers

Don’t read either volume of the “The Lovecraft Anthology” before going to bed. You may never want to turn out the light.

Two new graphic collections, edited by Dan Lockwood, are enough to give nightmares to any imaginative reader.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft is best remembered for his short stories and novellas, heavy with nameless terrors, evil curses that travel down human bloodlines, and multi-eyeballed, slimecoated aliens with tentacles from other worlds — not necessarily outer space.

Born in New England, in 1890, he read avidly. Besides his interest in astronomy, he enjoyed fiction, including Edgar Allan Poe’s

macabre short stories. He became a very active correspondent with many writers, including Robert E. Howard, best known as the creator of “Conan the Barbarian,” and science fiction authors Henry Kuttner and Fritz Lieber. Many of these writers encouraged him to try writing fiction. Most of Lovecraft’s writings were published in the late 1920s and ’30s in magazines, such as “Weird Tales.”

Lovecraft’s stories entered the bloodstream of science fiction and horror early in the development of the genre. Elements still turn up in contemporary fiction. For example, Lovecraft’s fictional city of Arkham, Mass., has a sanatorium that turns up in the “Batman” comics as the gloomy “Arkham Asylum,” home to many criminals.

Lockwood’s adapta-

tion of Lovecraft’s stories into graphic comics has trimmed to readability Lovecraft’s original archaic writing style. Each story is illustrated by a different artist, from an almost cutpaper style by Shane Ivan Oakley to the lushly-rich green watercolor-style illustrations by Matt Timson.

Page-turner marks the return of Lemony Snicket

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

Melissa Russo, works in retail, Boston “‘The New Age Herbalist: How to Use Herbs for Healing, Nutrition, Body Care, and Relaxation’ (by Richard Mabey). It’s about aromatherapy, herbalism and natural health alternatives.”

What is a bombinating beast, and why would anyone make a statue of it, much less steal it, in a city nowhere near an ocean that’s nevertheless known as “Stain’d by the Sea”?

These, and other alliterative oddities, are at the center of “Who Could That Be at This Hour?” — a Pink Panther-esque page turner that marks the return of eccentric narrator Lemony Snicket, who was last heard from six years ago with “The End” to his 13-book “A Series of Unfortunate Events.”

The events in “Who Could That Be at This Hour?” are no less fortunate. They do, however, turn back the clock to a time when phones plugged into the wall, music was played on vinyl records and Snicket — self-described as an excellent reader, good cook, mediocre musician and awful quarreler — was just 12 years old. Despite his tender age, Snicket is an apprentice in a secret organization who, as he’s constantly reminded by his chaperone, asks all the wrong questions as he attempts to discover why someone would “say something was stolen when it

was never theirs to begin with?”

The kickoff to the new four-book illustrated series titled “All the Wrong Questions” opens with an introduction that would likely be dismissed as thirdgrade drivel if not for the notoriety of the author who penned it: “There was a town, and there was a girl, and there was a theft. I was living in the town, and I was hired to investigate the theft, and I thought the girl had nothing to do with it. ...

I was wrong.”

So begins a contrarian story that unfolds near a sea with no water, a forest without trees and a

city that’s mostly unpopulated. The few people who live there are, of course, strange. There’s typewriter-toting tween journalist Moxie Mallahan, “sub-librarian” Dashiell Qwerty and a pair of kids named Pip and Squeak who operate the town’s sole taxi with one sitting in the driver’s seat atop a stack of books and the other down below, working the pedals.

The Snicket style of storytelling is exceptionally literary and entirely singular. Characterized by linguistic playfulness and an appreciation for the archaic, “Who Could That Be at This Hour?” is frequently laugh-

out-loud hilarious, as Snicket spars with his delightfully inept chaperone, who makes their investigation into the whereabouts of the missing statue far more complicated than it needs to be.

As in “Unfortunate Events,” there are pagelong digressions detailing Italian pasta recipes and a plethora of highfalutin vocabulary words, which are always defined, often in the bicker-banter of dialogue. The black, gray and blue illustrations by celebrated cartoonist Seth only add to the throwback gumshoe vibe of this longoverdue series from a truly beloved narrator.

Backlash over new Disney princess

By Derrik J. Lang Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. is defending its newest princess following a backlash over her Hispanic-influenced ethnicity.

A new character named Sofia will star in the TV movie “Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess” airing Nov. 18 on the Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

Hispanic advocacy groups have questioned whether the fair-skinned, blue-eyed young princess is an accurate representation of the Hispanic population and wondered why Disney isn’t doing more to promote its first princess with Hispanic-inspired roots.

“They seem to be backpedaling,” said Lisa Navarrete, spokeswoman for the National Council of La Raza. “They’ve done such a good job in the past when they’ve introduced Native American, African-American and Asian princesses.

They made a big deal out of it, and there was a lot of fanfare, but now they’re sort of scrambling. It’s unusual because Disney has been very good about Latino diversity.”

Craig Gerber, co-executive producer of “Sofia the First,” clarified in a Facebook post this month that Sofia is “a mixed-heritage princess in a fairytale world.” He said her mother and birth father respectively hail from kingdoms inspired by Spain and Scandinavia, though Sofia was born and raised in Enchancia, a “make-believe ‘melting pot’ kingdom” patterned after the British Isles.

Five tips for choosing a nursing home Provided by ARA Content Transitioning to life in a nursing home can be difficult, especially after living independently. When thinking about the next step for yourself or a loved one, it is important to consider how the quality of care you receive will affect your health and well-being. It’s helpful to plan ahead, consider all your long-term-care options, and make good financial plans early.

Here are five tips for choosing the nursing home that is right for you or your loved one: Determine if a nursing home is your best option Depending on your needs and resources, you may have other long-term-care options available to you.

For example, you may be able to get the services and support you need in your own home or in other types of community housing.

If you’re in a hospital or working with a home health agency, a discharge planner or social worker can explain your options and help

arrange your care. You can also talk to your doctor, family members, friends, neighbors or clergy to get additional opinions on longterm care options.

Find nursing homes in your area If you or someone you know has access to the Internet, visit Medicare’s Nursing Home Compare at www.medicare.gov/ NHCompare to help find nursing homes in your area.

You can search by nursing home name, city, county, state or ZIP code. If you do not have access to the Internet, your local library may be able to help you find the information on Nursing Home Compare. You can also call 800-MEDICARE for further assistance.

Your area agency on aging can also help you choose a nursing home, as well as help you and your family plan for long-term care. Contact the U.S. Administration on Aging to get in touch with your area agency on aging by visiting the Eldercare Locator

at www.eldercare.gov or get information by calling 800677-1116.

Compare quality of care It’s important to compare the quality of care that nursing homes provide in order to find the home that meets your needs. Nursing Home Compare has a five star quality rating system for certified Medicare and Medicaid nursing homes that indicates meaningful differences between highand low-performing homes.

On Nursing Home Compare, you can evaluate the nursing homes you’re considering by clinical quality measures, staffing, and health and fire safety inspection results.

Visit potential nursing homes After comparing the quality of care provided by nursing homes in your area, it is important to visit the homes you are interested in to see if you would be comfortable and happy living there. Nursing Home Compare provides maps and

directions to listed nursing homes. The easy-to-use information provided by Nursing Home Compare can guide you in talking to nursing home staff about the quality of care they provide.

Medicare provides a great Nursing Home Checklist that outlines things to look for - and key questions to ask - when visiting potential homes.

Consider your needs When you have all the information about the

nursing homes you’re interested in, consider which ones will best meet your personal needs. Think about location and proximity to family and friends, availability and when you can move in, any cultural or religious preferences you may have and other personal factors important in creating a comfortable living environment.

If you’re helping a loved one choose a nursing home, keep the person you’re helping involved in making

the decision as much as possible. People who are involved from the beginning are better prepared when they move into a nursing home.

All the resources mentioned above can be found at www.medicare.gov/ nhcompare or by calling 800-MEDICARE (TTY 877486-2048). To objectively compare other types of health care providers such as hospitals or home health agencies, visit medicare.gov/ qualitycarefinder.

There is no additional charge for Medicare hospital insurance (Part A) since you already paid for it by working and paying Medicare tax. But there is a monthly premium for medical insurance (Part B).

If you already have other health insurance when you become eligible for Medicare, you should consider whether you want to apply for the medical insurance. You may want to consult with an insurance specialist. To learn more about this and other Medicare considerations, read our online publication, Medicare, at www. socialsecurity.gov/ pubs/10043.html.

SPECIAL ADVERTISING FOCUS

Proper nutrition key for elderly Produced by ARA Content Americans are now living longer than ever before.

In fact, one of the fastest growing segments is people over the age of 85 who will represent 20 percent of the population by the year 2040.

Because we are living longer, certain conditions specific to senior citizens are also on a steady rise. Dehydration, falls, fractures, cognition loss and attention deficits are now becoming more commonplace.

In a recent paper titled “Salt Appetite Across Generations”; presented at a medical conference in Switzerland, Israeli researchers from the University of Haifa confirmed that in older people, a reduced sense of thirst results in a greatly increased risk of serious dehydration. They also noted that the appetite for salt does not diminish with age and suggested that this be used to help sustain hydration and prevent the dangerous symptoms that result from dehydration.

Another study by Dr. Michael H. Alderman and Dr. Hillel W. Cohen of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, identified significant risks to cardiovascular health and

longevity from consuming any less than one or more than three teaspoons salt per day. Fortunately, most Americans - including the elderly - when left to their own choice consume right in the middle of this range.

Given this new evidence, assisted living caregivers should be very cautious before recommending a low-salt diet for the elderly. In older people, mild hyponatremia is the most common form of electrolyte imbalance in the blood. Indeed, several recent medical papers found a direct relationship between hyponatremia and unsteadiness, falls, bone fractures and attention deficits.

Falls are one of the most serious problems for the elderly and about a third of people older than 65 fall at least once every year.

Fall-related injuries in the elderly are associated with numerous psychological and physical consequences and are a leading cause of bone breakage and hip fractures, which can lead to complications and permanent disability or death. More than 5 percent of all hospitalizations in people older than 65 years are due to fall-related injuries. Sadly, the research

shows that in assisted living facilities where almost all residents are given low-salt diets, the rate of falls and fractures are three times as great as in the normal home environment.

The implications of this research for liability claims incorporating legal damages are considerable.

Mild hyponatremia in the elderly can no longer be considered as a simple nonthreatening condition.

Evidence clearly points to significantly increased attention deficits, loss of cognitive function, increased falls and fractures - a cascade of conditions resulting in a highly diminished quality of life and a reduced life span.

It is a major threat that can be treated by simply adding salt back to the diet.

The evidence contradicting a low-salt regimen for the elderly is impressive and up-to-date. Those responsible for looking after the elderly should very carefully consider any broad, sweeping recommendations to administer a low-salt diet, for both medical and liability reasons. A wellbalanced diet, complete with salads, vegetables and fruit is the best approach to ensuring a healthy and active retirement.

The safety net for aged, blind, disabled people with limited income and resources

Provided by the Social Security Administration There’s a safety net out there for those who might otherwise slip through the cracks. It’s called Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Administered

by Social Security, SSI makes payments to people with limited income and few resources who are age 65 or older, blind, or have a disability.

Funding for the SSI program comes from the general revenues of the U.S. Treasury, not from Social Security payroll taxes.

When we consider people’s income, we count things such as wages, Social Security benefits and pensions. However, Social Security does not count all of your income when it decides whether you qualify for SSI. For example, we don’t count food stamps or most home energy assistance.

Resources we count in deciding whether you qualify for SSI include real estate (other than the home you live in), bank accounts, cash, stocks, and bonds.

A person with resources

worth no more than $2,000 may be able to get SSI. That resource limit is $3,000 for couples.

To qualify for SSI, you must live in the United States or the Northern Mariana Islands and be a U.S. citizen or national.

In rare cases, noncitizen residents can qualify for SSI. If you live in certain types of institutions or live in a shelter for the homeless, you may qualify for SSI. People with blindness or disability who apply for SSI may be able to get free special services to help them work. These services may include counseling, job training, and help finding work.

The monthly maximum Federal SSI payment is the same nationwide and amounts to $698 for a

Opinion wasn’t a personal affront Dear Annie: When my son married six years ago, my wife and I welcomed his bride into our family with open arms.

I knew my daughter-inlaw had views that were much different from mine, but I was confident that we could coexist. I helped them with projects in their new home, and we got along rather well. We attended dinners and get-togethers at their house.

The waters got rather rough when I discovered she had written a letter to the editor in our local paper that contradicted my beliefs and principles. I brought up the subject with my son, and it led to a lengthy argument. I certainly recognize that we are privileged in this great country to be able to express ourselves openly, but I believe there is such a thing as propriety. I considered the letter a personal affront,

expressing her views whether or not you agree with her. Unless she publicly named you as an adversary, you should have let it slide.

In fact, touchy subjects should be off limits unless you know you can have a debate without creating ill will.

You need this to go away in order to regain your relationship. Call or write your son. Apologize for opening this can of worms and promise not to bring up the subject in the future. Say you “agree to disagree.”

We hope your daughterin-law will accept the cease-fire.

and it ultimately caused alienation. My son did not even wish me a happy Father’s Day or acknowledge my birthday this past year.

I told my son I am willing to talk about the situation anytime they want, but so far they have declined.

‘Upstairs’ a bit out of date Fans can’t fault the new “Upstairs Downstairs” on “Masterpiece Classic” (8 p.m. Sunday, PBS, check local listings) for its period details. As mentioned earlier in this space, I think the melodrama sometimes seems too “ripped from the headlines,” as they used to say about “Law & Order.” Or at least ripped from the history pages.

While “Upstairs” immerses itself in a nervous British society in the waning days before World War II, I get the feeling the writers have projected too many 21st century attitudes on the characters.

Prevailing social attitudes in prewar England (and America) included widespread acceptance of racism, anti-Semitism and huge chasms between classes — particularly among the aristocratic set. This was years before the dissolution of the British Empire, the rise of America’s modern civil rights era and the end of socially accepted anti-Semitism on both sides of the Atlantic. And it was certainly light years removed from modern attitudes toward homosexuality. That was punishable by imprisonment.

But in tonight’s “Upstairs,” we have Lady Agnes (Keeley Hawes) carrying on a blatant flirtation with an American Jewish businessman, even appearing in an ad campaign for his company’s nylon stockings, and doing so without her husband’s knowledge or his blessing. Is this really 1939?

Members of the royal family breeze in and out of kitchens and seem chummy and at ease with staff not their own. Blanche (Alex Kingston) suffers few serious social (never mind legal) repercussions after her former lover writes a book about their lesbian affair.

An “Upstairs” shot through with the bigotries of its era would probably not be so entertaining.

But overlaying our generation’s attitudes on historical figures is dicey as well. It reflects an unwillingness to see the world from the perspective of another people from another time.

Sunday’s other highlights

The Denver Broncos host the New Orleans Saints on “Sunday Night Football” (7:15 p.m., NBC).

The San Francisco Giants meet the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 of the World Series (7 p.m., Fox).

Dexter investigates the murder on his boat on “Dexter” (8 p.m., Showtime).

During an Easter gathering, Eli tries to regain Nucky’s confidence on “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO).

Corporate ways do not sit well with Janette on “Treme” (9 p.m., HBO).

Brody feels confined on “Homeland” (9 p.m., Showtime).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Oct. 28: This year you often worry about your level of energy. Sometimes you have too much, and other times, all you want to do is nap. If you are single, meeting someone is not the issue ... choosing someone is. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from romantic getaways together.

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) There is too much energy around you. With your innate assertiveness, you could say or do something that someone might take offense to. Tonight: You have a fence to mend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Do not be as tenacious as usual if you want to get past a problem. Money could be at the root of the issue, and you really do not want to stand on ceremony right now. Tonight: Treat your sweet tooth.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Focus on the whole picture, rather than just a part of it. The same is true regarding your friends.

Tonight: Only with people you like and/or love.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Take a stand. Remember, just because you are extremely responsible does not mean that others must be. Tonight: Check in on an older relative.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Honor a desire to take off. In a different environment, you can relax. Tonight: Just be yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) One person makes it clear that he or she wants all of your attention. You might need to adjust

completely renovated an older home.

Since her husband died from cancer, I thought my money would be better placed donating to cancer research, which I did. Was I wrong to do this? Is paying for the gravestone a new trend? — Living in a Different World Dear Living: We hope not. When families are in financial straits, contributing to funeral costs is welcome. But soliciting for a gravestone when one can easily afford it is in poor taste. Naturally, any such request is voluntary and optional. We think your donation was lovely and appropriate.

your plans accordingly, unless you want to cause upset. Tonight: Be a good listener and follow someone’s lead.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to others, and make sure you understand what is happening with them. In a sense, you could feel frayed, as many people call and request your time and presence. Tonight: Catch up on someone’s news.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Invite someone to join you at a flea market or to go for a picnic somewhere you both love. Getting out of your normal environment helps you recharge without even realizing it. Tonight: Note a different outlook.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are extremely assertive. Perhaps instead of being pushy, you could use the same energy for a workout or a physical project. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll want to make time for a close family member. You could be more pushed than usual, and you might decide to let go of your frustration through a disagreement. Tonight: At home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a tendency to say what you feel. Be careful, as someone around you might be more sensitive than you realize. Tonight: Surround yourself with fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Be aware of your spending, which easily could get out of control. Pressure builds, as you have so much to do. Tonight: Order in.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.
