City considering biggest, busiest roundabout so far

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The roundabout debate has circled its way back to Lawrence City Hall.

Commissioners at their meeting this evening will be asked to provide feedback

on a proposal to build the city’s biggest and busiest roundabout yet: a dual-lane roundabout at the intersection of Wakarusa Drive and Inverness/Legends Drive.

City engineers are recommending the roundabout as part of a larger project to re-

build a crumbling section of Wakarusa Drive. Engineers are touting the roundabout, which would carry about 15,000 vehicles a day, as both a cheaper and safer alternative than a traditional traffic signal.

“The number of crashes

at an intersection with a roundabout versus one with a traffic signal may be about the same, but the accidents are a lot less severe with roundabouts,” said David Cronin, the city’s engineer.

ment against the tobacco industry — usually around $55 million annually — to the Children’s Initiative Fund for programs that promote children’s health and welfare.

In recent years, however, there have been significant disputes between the tobacco industry and states involved in the lawsuit over how much the companies now owe.

Those disputes have resulted in arbitration and settlements to states to make up for past underpayments.

State budget officials, however, have been reluctant to include those additional payments in their revenue projections. Last year, according to budget documents, tobacco payments to the state totaled $68 million — $12.2 million more than projected.

Much of that additional money, however, was transferred to the state general fund instead of the Children’s Initiatives Fund.

The two-year budget that lawmakers approved this spring provides $56 million for the Children’s Initiative Fund in the current fiscal year and $55 million in the following fiscal year, figures that do not reflect additional payments from arbitration.

our annual tobacco settlement payment, and this report demonstrates why it’s so important for Kansas to dedicate that money to early-childhood programs,” Costoradis said.

The Casey Foundation report says that by age 8 most children in the United States are not on track in cognitive knowledge and skills. Many also lag behind in areas of social and emotional development, physical well-being and engagement in school that are considered necessary for future success.

Those problems are especially pronounced among children from lowincome households, the report says.

“For children to mature across all crucial areas of child development, they and their families need access not only to quality preschool, kindergarten and elementary school, but also to quality health care, including well-child care and treatment, regular developmental screening and intervention services,” the report states.

Since 1999, Kansas has dedicated most of its revenue from a master settle-

During the tour, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, Provost Jeffrey Vitter and others pointed to patents KU researchers have generated, startups that have spun out of university ventures and new corporate partnerships. They took legislators on a tour of research labs and business incubators. They touted the increase in engineering students and talked of the need to invest in the medical school so that the university can produce more doctors.

Yet KU officials and legislators mostly skipped over — both during presentations and in the tour — its research and teaching in fields without a technical or commercial component.

Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, said he didn’t think the humanities, arts and other facets of the university’s role were “absent from the conversation” and that the university frequently works “to articulate the importance of the humanities.” But at the tour, Caboni said, officials were responding to “a different set of issues.”

Focus on value Much of how the university made the case for state support came down to the direct economic returns the university provides: jobs, business investment and workforce training, with the emphasis on technical and scientific fields where there is a strong demand for labor.

The national conversation about higher education follows similar lines in looking at the dollar-fordollar return on a college degree. In August President Obama proposed changes that could tie student financial aid to such markers as graduation

ing. Last week the New York Times documented the dwindling share of students in the humanities at Stanford University and other higher education giants. At KU, too, many arts and humanities majors that have been staples have lost students since the recession.

The fall 2012 semester saw 162 fewer undergraduate English majors enrolled than in 2007; 147 fewer history students; 75 fewer art history students and 210 fewer theater students. Social Sciences such as psychology, communications studies and economics also saw enrollment drop during that five-year period.

At the same time, every individual engineering department increased its undergraduate enrollment. Likewise, in 2013, the engineering school’s share of total undergraduate enrollment rose from 7.7 percent in 2007 to 12.1 percent in 2013, and business rose from 4.9 percent to 7.6 percent. Meanwhile, the share of students enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences dropped from 72.5 percent in 2007 to 61.8 percent in 2013.

Those departments with shrinking student numbers could face smaller budgets in the future, which would in turn put limits on faculty members and research production. In the humanities and arts, where the federal government spends far less on research and alumni tend to have shallower pockets, cuts could be even more deeply felt than elsewhere. And that ultimately could change the nature and reputation of the university.

“KU has long been seen as especially strong in the Interest declining humanities,” Cudd said.

But with a tough job “It behooves us to continmarket for graduates, ue that legacy.” those skills, with their less — Reporter Ben Unglesbee can be straightforward economic reached at 832-7173. value, may be less appeal-

rates, tuition price and the incomes of graduates.

Ann Cudd, the vice provost and dean of undergraduate studies at KU and a distinguished professor of philosophy, said KU administration “can make the case at many levels” for higher education funding, but cases involving direct economic benefits are more likely to be heard by legislators.

While Cudd said she didn’t feel the humanities were neglected at KU, a problem might arise if all policy makers and the public ever hear are discussions of economic impact. “If they’re not out there defending the humanities, we might get to the point where we don’t fund the humanities anymore,” she said.

Much of the humanities and arts are concerned with things that are difficult or impossible to put a dollar value on. That can leave the humanities and arts largely out of a policy conversation focused on economic returns. “It’s a crisis,” said Paul Outka, an associate professor of English at KU. “The humanities are often undervalued in our public discourse.”

At the same time, Outka said national debates about higher education that exclude the importance of the humanities are “destructive not just to the humanities but also to our economic prospects.” A student who can think critically about ambiguous situations and other cultures, who can communicate ideas, who is motivated and who has a finely tuned aesthetic ability, can play an important role in businesses and the economy even if those qualities are hard to define in economic terms.

abouts and how many motorists don’t like them.

“I heard more about roundabouts than I did about Rock Chalk Park,” Farmer said. “People are certainly concerned about them.”

Farmer said he’ll have to be convinced of roundabouts’ improved safety benefits. He said he travels through the roundabout at Harvard Road and Monterey Way on a daily basis, and frequently sees motorists nearly become involved in accidents as they try to take the tight turns too quickly.

“In theory, this is probably a really good idea, but I’ve just had so many bad experiences and so many close calls,” Farmer said.

“If my car had a choice, like Knight Rider, it would go nowhere near a roundabout.”

Engineers, though, are stressing that the proposed roundabout would be much larger than any in the city, which may alleviate some of the concerns people have about tight driving conditions. The roundabout would be 150 feet in diameter. The roundabout at 19th and Barker streets, for example, is about 90 feet.

But the Wakarusa roundabout also would be the city’s first dual-lane roundabout, meaning cars would be able to enter the roundabout side by side.

“I don’t think that should really cause any concern,” Cronin said. “If you design it the appropriate size, people feel more comfortable.”

This graphic, provided by the city of Lawrence, shows the basics of the proposed dual-lane roundabout.

Cronin is estimating the roundabout will cost about $350,000 to build, compared with about $500,000 for a traffic signal.

City Commissioner Bob Schumm said the cost savings and the safety benefits will cause him to seriously consider the proposal.

“With a little bit of experience, people have gotten used to them, I think,” Schumm said of the several roundabouts that already exist in the city. “They are all over Europe and the U.K. They do work. They do move traffic through an intersection a lot better than a four-way stop.”

The intersection currently uses a set of fourway stop signs. Engineers are recommending that a complete overhaul of the intersection occur at the same time that other repairs are being made to Wakarusa Drive.

Plans call for a completely new road base and concrete pavement for the section of Wakarusa Drive between the Inverness/ Legends Drive intersection and to Oread West Drive to the south.

The improvements basically would begin where a similar rebuilding project ended earlier this year.

Preliminary designs show two 11-foot lanes of traffic in each direction, a center turn lane, a bike lane in each direction, and six foot sidewalks on each side of the street. The estimated $2.3 million project would be built during the summer and fall of 2014. Preliminary plans call for traffic on Wakarusa Drive to remain open during construction.

Kobach defends voting laws at Rotary luncheon

County to discuss flood insurance

Chalk it up

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told a Lawrence audience Monday that a new law requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls and for new voters to show proof of citizenship when they register has made Kansas elections more secure and reliable.

“I think we in Kansas can say we’ve got the nation’s most secure system,” Kobach said during a Downtown Rotary Club luncheon at Holiday Inn Lawrence.

Kobach Kobach was the principal driver behind the 2011 “Safe and Fair Elections Act,” or SAFE Act, that imposed new requirements on voters.

He said the law is intended to prevent voter fraud and to ensure that all ballots cast in Kansas elections are from eligible voters.

But many people have criticized the law, saying it has prevented otherwise qualified voters from casting ballots, and a local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has notified Kobach that it intends to file a constitutional challenge to the law in federal court.

Kobach, however, suggested the law has had little impact on most people’s ability to vote, despite the fact that 17,083 people who

Property owners in some parts of rural Douglas County could learn Wednesday whether their premiums for flood insurance will soon go up or down.

Officials from the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s Division of Water Resources will brief Douglas County commissioners on Wednesday about the county’s flood insurance rating under the federal Community Rating System.

That’s a voluntary COUNTY i n c e n t i v e COMMISSION program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Communities that participate can qualify for discount premiums under the National Flood Insurance Program by adopting floodplain management practices that meet three goals: reducing flood damage to insurable property, strengthening and supporting the insurance aspects of the NFIP and encouraging a comprehensive approach to floodplain management.

Commissioners will receive that report when they meet at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the County Courthouse.

Gay inmate not allowed to see spouse County

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

TOPEKA (AP) — A Kansas prison inmate claims he’s being discriminated against because the Department of Corrections won’t allow visits from his husband, whom he married legally in Iowa.

Christopher Yates, 34, was convicted in March 2012 in Ford County on charges of identity theft, theft of $100,000 or greater, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal use of a financial card, computer crime and perjury. Yates is serving a seven-year sentence at the Norton Correctional Facility.

Her childhood and undergraduate experience taught her the importance of healthy partnerships between small universities and their communities, Murray said. “I would really like to get to know the community, and I would open the home much like Dr. Long has done,� she said. “I think there is an integral partnership between the university and the community and this president has a piece in leading and framing that relationship.�

cense signed April 2011 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Corrections department spokesman Jeremy Barclay said Yates’ situation isn’t the same as other cases regarding visitation because the individual seeking access is a co-defendant in Yates’ crimes, although the department has no written policy on the matter. “That is at the discretion of each warden,� Barclay said.

Ken Upton, an attorney for the national gay rights group Lambda Legal, says

Yates’ complaint is unusual but not surprising. “It’s the first time I’ve actually heard about it,�

Upton said of Yates’ complaint. “I think it will happen more frequently as more and more same-sex couples don’t have to go all the way to New York or someplace like that to get married.�

Yates said his husband’s visitation application was denied because of “unfavorable background,� although his husband meets the

criteria for visitations and that other inmates have had visitors who have similar criminal histories. “Logically, one would think that someone with a history of drug-related offenses would pose more of a ‘security and safety issue’ for the facility,� Yates wrote.

Upton said Yates had limited legal options even if he can produce evidence that other inmates are allowed visitors with criminal backgrounds, noting that wardens can use their discretion on visitation. “It is true, the wardens run those prisons,�

Upton said. “They are accountable to virtually no one, and they rely on policies that often are in their head.�

It was Baker’s quality that prompted her to apply for the position, Murray said. “From an outsider looking in, it’s the excellence you bring,� she said. “You’re No. 1 in almost everything — in academics, sports and in faculty.

That’s what attracted me.

You are in a very special place right now.�

Gibson said Murray’s success in fundraising and university advancement in positions at Gallaudet and Georgetown University of Washington, D.C., made her stand out to the search committee. “She’s had a tremendous record in higher education fundraising,� he said. “We had the opportunity to interview her references, and they vali-

dated that experience.�

In response to a question from the audience, Murray said her fundraising priorities at Baker would be to help boost student enrollment, creation of a faculty excellence fund to attract and keep quality faculty and finding corporate sponsors for athletic scholarships and programs, which is important at a school at which more than 50 percent of the student body participate in sports.

According to her profile on the Gallaudet University website, Murray worked in the school’s office of development from 1997 to 2007 and was its director for five of those years. During that time, she led two successful

capital campaigns and was credited with raising the university’s profile through strategic partnerships.

Before returning to her present position at Gallaudet in 2010, Murray worked as senior director of advancement at Georgetown.

Gibson said the second finalist would be announced after Murray’s departure and would be on campus Thursday and Friday. The final candidate will be on campus Nov. 11-12. “All three candidates have experience growing up or are currently living in small-town environments,� Gibson said. “They are all aware of the environment here and very excited about it.�

suggesting that once people know the outcome of an election, they might not bother to come up with their IDs if they know it won’t affect the outcome of a race.

Of those, he said, a check of motor vehicle records showed that all but about 30 actually had driver’s licenses they could have used. And of the remaining 30, he said, all but two had some other form of ID they could have used in order to vote.

During a question-andanswer session, one person in the audience cited a national study from 2006 that found that as many as 11 percent of U.S. adults, or about 21 million people, do not have a government-issued photo ID. The study said that group included a high proportion of senior citizens, disabled individuals, minori-

ties and the poor.

But Kobach dismissed that criticism because the study is seven years old, and the experience in Kansas has been much better.

He also said that most of the 17,083 people whose registrations have been held up are people who attempted to register when they applied for a driver’s license. The Division of Vehicles in the Kansas Department of Revenue uses a standard federal voter registration form, which does not ask for proof of citizenship.

Kobach noted that Kansas and Arizona are currently suing the federal Election Assistance Commission, seeking a court order to compel that agency to provide the states with forms that include a proof-of-citizenship question.

Those codes allow people to conduct certain kinds of tourism-related businesses on property zoned for agricultural use.

KATHRYN FRANKLIN, A RECEPTIONIST AT HEALTH CARE ACCESS, left, waits for patients at the clinic Friday. At right is HCA executive director Shelly Wakeman. The center recently implemented a same-day appointment system that leaves spots open every day for patients who call and need to be seen right away.

Lawrence medical practices push to help patients be seen the same day as they call

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

A person gets sick, calls the doctor and schedules an appointment for later that day.

A simple enough concept, but one that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often been utilized in health care. Until recently.

Several local medical practices have implemented or are moving toward implementing open-access appointment systems that allow patients to be seen the same or next day.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of their effort to be certified as â&#x20AC;&#x153;patient-centered medical homes,â&#x20AC;? which is becoming a standard in primary care as a way to improve outcomes and lower costs.

Patients at Health Care Access used to line up outside the Lawrence safety-net clinic early in the morning to try be seen. While they still do from time to time, it happens less frequently after the clinic instituted open-access scheduling earlier this year.

The clinic previously allowed

walk-in appointments, but those patients often would have to sit in the waiting room for hours, if they even got in with a doctor at all.

Now they can call ahead and schedule a set time for later in the day.

Advocates say this system simplifies the job of frontdesk staffs, who are no longer burdened with determining how sick each patient is and who needs to see a doctor the quickest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before, all our appointments were scheduled full and patients had to wait until we had a cancellation,â&#x20AC;? said Kathryn Franklin, a receptionist at Health Care Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is much more efficient.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essentially a change from doing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most convenient for the practice to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the patient, noted Shelly Wakeman, executive director for Health Care Access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shifting the way patients think. We can get them in on the same day but we like

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shifting the way patients think. We can get them in on the same day, but we like them to call ahead of time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kim Scarbrough, communication and policy manager for Health Care Access them to call ahead of time,â&#x20AC;? said Kim Scarbrough, communication and policy manager for Health Care Access.

The clinic now leaves every other appointment open, or a total of eight a day.

Health Care Access had an open access no-show rate of 18 percent in September and 8.6 percent in October. Both are lower than the typical noshow rate for such a facility.

Lawrence Memorial Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family practice clinics have been offering same-day scheduling for the past couple of years. Physicians leave

open a set amount of appointments each day for patients with acute illnesses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been beneficial to patients and doctors alike, said Barb Karr, director of family practices for Lawrence Memorial Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a patient satisfier. And if someone gets sick the night before and calls that morning, physicians want to be able to get those patients in quickly,â&#x20AC;? said Karr, who oversees Total Family Care and Mt. Oread Family Practice in Lawrence, Eudora Family Care, Family Medicine of Baldwin City, Family Medicine of Tonganoxie and McLouth Medical Clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have routinely seen in our past that when someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sick and makes an appointment for the next day or more than 24 hours in the future, they tend to get sicker and will probably go to the emergency room or somewhere else, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a no-show.â&#x20AC;?

Heartland Community Health Center is in the process of instituting a same-

or-next-day appointment system, which the Lawrence clinic hopes to have online by Dec. 1.

At Heartland, patients who call in the morning will be seen later that day. If they ring in the afternoon, they will be scheduled for the following day. The system will also have a feature to notify chronic disease patients when they are due for a checkup.

Doctors have traditionally booked their schedules to account for no-show rates of anywhere from 20 percent to 50 percent, said Heartland Medical Director Dan Purdom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the fear that if everyone shows up, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drown. But physicians have generally taken great comfort in having a full schedule for the next two weeks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monday and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about Wednesday, probably Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything on it yet. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the part that physicians find frightening.â&#x20AC;?

The keynote speaker will be Sheldon Weisgrau, director of the Health Reform Resource Project in Kansas and an expert on the practical implications of the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many community members have questions about how the Affordable Care Act affects them personally. We are holding this town hall to answer those questions,â&#x20AC;? said Jon Stewart, CEO of Heartland Community Health Center.

After Weisgrauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with certified navigators and application counselors to ask questions or begin the process of applying for insurance in the marketplace.

Initiative falls to teens, with an assist from Mom and Dad Kendra: I am a huge supporter of involved and supportive parents.

Whether that means cheering for an athlete or fundraising for the orchestra, parents who care are more likely to have kids who care.

However, some parents take it too far.

As much as I love mine, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not immune from the parental desire to fight battles that I should fight for myself.

When I was seven and trying out for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Pan,â&#x20AC;? I was set on getting the role of Tinkerbell. After my audition, the director implied that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already gotten the role. However, when he posted the cast list I had three smaller roles, none of which were fairies.

There must be something about a daughter crying that sets off the defense mode in my dad, because he dialed the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number just as my first tear fell. Much to my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dismay, he demanded the director explain his reasoning behind

Double Take

Personally, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m terrified of a future without the constant urging and counsel of my too-supportive parents. But as kids get older, parents have to start handing over the reins, trusting theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thoroughly prepared to face any challenge, whether it be asking a professor to explain a grade or interviewing for a dream job. Sometimes that means letting not choosing me for the them fail and learn from part. The director shared their mistakes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cast me as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lost prepped your kids well, Boy/Daughter/Pirateâ&#x20AC;? theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to do both. because he wanted to give Wes: The point of me speaking roles. adolescence is to indiAs much as I appreciated viduate from oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family my dad standing up for me, or origin â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to become a we were all embarrassed to fully functional adult who realize how ridiculous our can interact that way with complaints had been. oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents.

adulthood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; teens pulling against parental authority to establish themselves as unique; parents offering guidance on the values that support a healthy life.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often agree on those values as a society or within families, so some necessary conflict ensues.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what produces functional young adult who eventually move out and live independently, and when they come home to visit they feel at home.

Kendra asks us to explore the fundamental parenting dilemma â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how much to hold and protect a child and how much to push toward independence. Parents have to resolve that one until well after their children reach adulthood.

None of us want to see our Tinkerbelle-aspirant cry, but neither should we grow children so unacquainted with failure that they never earn success.

Folks grumble these days about a generation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;millennialsâ&#x20AC;? who feel entitled to a great many

things and less excited about earning them.

That leaves an enormous open door for all the kids whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up fighting their own battles with parent encouragement rather than with bubblewrap and helicoptering.

Teach your kids to be the strong ones. Give them the tools and let them solve their own problems.

For example, middle school kids should normally be coached to try several times to resolve a dispute with a teacher before a parent intervenes. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even truer in high school, at work or in sports. If that fails, sit down with the child and the other adult and mediate the conflict rather than flying over and carpet-bombing someone to guard your supposedly defenseless child.

As Kendra notes, that often ends badly. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send your confidential 200-word question on adolescence and parenting to ask@drwes.com. Double Take opinions and advice are not a substitute for psychological services.

Do You Hear, But Not Understand?

Being able to hear is a complicated process. Not only does it involve the ears and the complex parts of them, but also the nervous system and the brain.

When you hear but not understand your brain doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive stimulation for certain sounds, this can lead to Auditory Deprivation.

The part of the brain that hears sounds and interprets these sounds can loose its function. As your hearing loss gets worse these parts of the system start to lose their ability to function as well, which is why it is important to get hearing loss remedied.

Auditory deprivation occurs over a period of time where the brain no longer receives enough sound stimulation to work properly, making it harder for you to understand sounds. This is caused from auditory deprivation and it is a case where the process gets weaker through lack of use for so long.

Maybe the problem is in your middle ear.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins toured one of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employers Monday, saying the experience will inform her in the future as Congress debates changes to the tax code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They require a lot of investment in a business like this, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in â&#x20AC;Ś equipment or additional workforce hiring,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said outside Berry Plastics, 2330 Packer Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some key provisions in the tax code that w o u l d have a direct impact on them. â&#x20AC;Ś Jenkins The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;carried interestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; provision to encourage investment is of particular concern to these individuals.â&#x20AC;?

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;carried interestâ&#x20AC;? provision allows investors to have their profits taxed at the capital gains rate of 20 percent rather the income tax rate of 39.6 percent.

In an interview after the tour, Jenkins, a Topeka Republican whose district includes Lawrence, also discussed the recent rollout of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which has been hurt by

technical glitches with the website and news of Americans being dropped from their health care plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m most disturbed by the lack of truthfulness in some of the statements that were used to sell it to Congress and the American people: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Your premiums will go down by $2,500.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you like your doctor, you can keep him.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you like your health plan, you can keep it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we know that was not true and many in the White House knew it was not true when they spoke those words.â&#x20AC;?

Jenkins and some other House Republicans last month refused to fund the government unless President Barack Obama rolled back parts of the 2010 health care law, leading to a 16-day shutdown that Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated cost the U.S. economy $24 billion. Asked if she regretted that strategy given the controversies surrounding the lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction, Jenkins said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure anyone predicted what an unmitigated disaster the rollout would be.â&#x20AC;?

In repeating one of House Republicansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; original demands, Jenkins said Monday she wants the president to delay by a year the mandate that most Americans carry some form of health insurance, as he did with the requirement that companies

with 50 or more employees offer their workers health insurance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one won with the government shutdown,â&#x20AC;?

Jenkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal was to provide fairness to all, and unfortunately the president was unwilling to provide my constituents with the same benefit he gave big businesses, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we ended up.â&#x20AC;?

Jenkins said recent reductions in food stamp benefits were a result of provisions of the 2009 stimulus expiring and that she still supports additional reforms to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would simply sync up the work requirements that we have for cash welfare with those required for food stamps: If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ablebodied, to look for a job. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a job, look for volunteer opportunities, extend your education,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that preserves the money that has been appropriated to the people who need it.â&#x20AC;?

Jenkins added that the recently passed Water Resources Development Act, which funds waterrelated building projects, will benefit the Lawrence and Topeka areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because our infrastructure is aging,â&#x20AC;? she said.

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A legislative committee on Monday rejected paying a state senator his salary and expenses for one day because he was late to a meeting on that day.

State Sen. David Haley, a Democrat from Kansas City, sought $290.66 in legislative pay, expenses and mileage for attending a meeting of the House-Senate health policy oversight committee on Dec. 19, 2012.

But state Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka, who was serving as chair of the health policy committee, refused to sign off on Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reimbursement request.

Schmidt said Haley only attended the meeting for about 5 minutes, failing to be there for at least half of the meeting, which is required by legislative policy to get reimbursed.

Haley countered he was there for about 20 minutes, but that although he failed to attend half of the meeting, the schedule of the meeting was shortened

without his knowing about that in advance. â&#x20AC;&#x153; A n y member that attends a meeting, Haley should be compensated for that day,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had cleared my schedule for that entire day,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Haley and Schmidt appeared Monday before the House-Senate Committee on Special Claims Against the State. Haley is a member of the claims committee but later recused himself from action when the committee took up his claim.

The claims committee recommended paying for Haleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mileage but rejected his request for salary and expenses.

State Rep. Mike Houser, R-Columbus, said Haley â&#x20AC;&#x153;was in clear violation of the rules.â&#x20AC;?

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did not comply with the rule. What

good is having a rule that is not complied with.â&#x20AC;?

But state Rep. Bob Grant, D-Frontenac, said he feared denying Haley his pay would put the Legislature on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;slippery slopeâ&#x20AC;? where committee chairs could deny reimbursement for other reasons.

Houser initially wanted to deny Haley any reimbursement, but Claims Committee Chairman Sen. Dan Kerschen, R-Garden Plain, suggested paying Haley mileage since Haley did drive to the committee meeting.

Legislators are paid $88.66 per day when they are conducting legislative business. They also receive $129 daily for subsistence, which covers expenses such as lodging and meals. Legislators are paid 55 cents per mile for mileage, plus any tolls.

Committee members and legislative staff said this was the first time in recent memory that a legislator was denied pay by for being late. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action must be approved by the full Legislature before it can become final.

Without the grant money, Wicked plans to abandon the idea of the pilot project and is likely to put up for sale its existing fiber optic network in the city, said Kris Adair, a coowner of the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to work to make the project successful, but without the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make this project successful,â&#x20AC;? Adair said.

Adair said Wicked is willing to raise $500,000 in private capital for the project, but she said lenders want to see that the city is fully supportive of the project before they lend money for the venture.

City commissioners during the past year have expressed an interest in improving the quality of

disclosed those plans as he announced the formation of an exploratory committee on his 40th birthday. If Taylor runs next year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be seeking the seat held by veteran Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.

No other Democrat has publicly expressed an interest in the race. Roberts, a conservative whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s served in the Senate since

1997 and has been a fixture in Kansas politics for more than three decades, already faces a challenge in the Republican primary in August 2014 from Dr. Milton Wolf, a Leawood radiologist.

Forming the exploratory committee allows Taylor to raise money and do polling, but he declined to discuss specific policy

Public meetings planned Wicked Broadband will hold meetings this month to answer questions of residents and businesses in the areas chosen for the pilot project. Meeting times and dates:

10:30 a.m. Wednesday, The Cider Gallery, 810 Pennsylvania St.

2:30 p.m. Nov. 10, Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway

10:30 a.m. Nov. 14, The Cider Gallery In addition to the downtown and East Lawrence areas, the company plans to make the service available on a limited basis in the area near the water tower along Stratford Road, just west of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main campus. It also will offer service in small area just south of Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa Drive.

broadband service, but they have not endorsed the idea of providing $500,000 to Wicked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure this is the direction we should be going,â&#x20AC;? said Commissioner Bob Schumm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be a little unusual to hand out a half million dollars to an individual company for a project like this.â&#x20AC;?

Schumm said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very interested in improving

the speed and affordability of Internet service, but if the city is going to make a $500,000 investment it probably should seek proposals from other technology companies to make sure that the city gets the most from its investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But those type of speeds would be a huge plus for downtown,â&#x20AC;?

Schumm said.

The pilot project would make the super-fast In-

issues to avoid being considered a candidate for now. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been urged by people across the state to run because many voters are frustrated with gridlock in Washington, particularly after last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partial federal government shutdown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is what I would consider to be a high-water mark of frustration with

the leadership we have in Washington right now,â&#x20AC;?

Taylor said during an interview.

Taylor was first elected district attorney in 2008 and was re-elected in 2012.

Leroy Towns, Robertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; executive campaign manager, said Taylor needs to conduct a listening tour â&#x20AC;&#x153;because absolutely nobody in the state knows who he is.â&#x20AC;?

Towns acknowledged that Kansas voters are frustrated with Congress but added they see Roberts as a tested conservative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They understand that Pat Roberts is the guy back there fighting for them,â&#x20AC;? Towns said.

Wolf has criticized Roberts for not being conservative enough on tax, budget and health care issues.

ternet service available to about 1,100 homes and businesses, Adair estimated. The primary area for service would be between Sixth and 11th Streets from Vermont Street to the Kansas River in East Lawrence.

As part of the project, Wicked would offer the service for free to several large organizations in the downtown or East Lawrence area, including Lawrence City Hall, the Douglas County Courthouse, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, New York School and the new Lawrence Public Library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody who used the library would have access to the high-speed Internet,â&#x20AC;? said Adair, who also is a member of the Lawrence school board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really would make the library more of a benefit to businesses.â&#x20AC;?

Current plans are to offer 1-gigabit residential service for just under $100 per month, with cheaper plans available for 20- to 100-megabit speeds. Cur-

rent plans call for businesses to be charged a significantly higher rate: About $60 per 10 megabits, although Adair said special pricing could be offered for large Internet users.

Adair hopes the City Commission will consider the $500,000 grant request by the end of the year. Diane Stoddard, an assistant city manager, said staff members are working to prepare a report to commissioners by the end of the year.

She said her office has been gathering information about the proposal

since Wicked requested it in May. She said the city has been working to gather information about Wickedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances. The city also has been looking at how much money the city may be asked to contribute if the pilot project is successful and there is a desire to expand the super-fast service citywide.

Consultants have estimated a citywide fiber optic project would cost more than $35 million to install.

BRIEFLY Professorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son at center of lockdown

SEN. SUSAN COLLINS, R-Maine, flanked by Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., talks to reporters Monday at the U.S. Capitol after the Senate agreed to debate a bill that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gay Americans.

Gay rights bill clears big hurdle in Senate

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Senate pushed a major anti-bias gay rights bill past a first, big hurdle Monday, a clear sign of Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; greater acceptance of homosexuality nearly two decades after the law prohibiting federal recognition of same-sex marriage.

The vote of 61-30 essentially ensured that the Senate has the votes to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.

Final passage, possibly by weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, would cap a 17-year quest to secure Senate support for a similar discrimination measure that failed by one vote in 1996, the same year Congress passed and President Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act. Reflecting the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shifting views toward gay rights and the fast-changing political dynamic, seven Senate Republicans joined with 54 Democrats to vote to move ahead on the legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rights are sometimes intangible but, boy if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been discriminated against, seeking employment or seeking an advancement, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bitter,â&#x20AC;?

Sen. Tammy Baldwin, DWis., the only openly gay member of the Senate, said after the vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long, long fight, but I think its day has come. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just very exciting to witness.â&#x20AC;?

The legislation would be the first significant gay

rights legislation since Congress ended the ban on gays serving openly in the military in December 2010. The Supreme Court in June affirmed gay marriage and granted federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples while same-sex marriage is legal in 14 states and the District of Columbia.

About a half hour after the Senate acted, President Barack Obama cited the vote as an example of â&#x20AC;&#x153;common sense starting to prevailâ&#x20AC;? in a Congress that has opposed much of his agenda. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inexorably, the idea of a more tolerant, more prosperous country that offers more opportunity to more people, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea that the vast majority of Americans believe in,â&#x20AC;? the president told a group of supporters gathered for a summit in Washington Monday night.

Prospects are dimmer in the Republican-led House where Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, remains opposed.

Sen. Susan Collins, RMaine, a chief sponsor of the legislation, said the 60-plus bipartisan vote should force the House to vote on the legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was Republican votes that made the difference tonight and that is a strong signal,â&#x20AC;? Collins aid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think that attitudes are changing very rapidly on gay rights issues and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing that with each passing day. More and more people have embraced equality.â&#x20AC;?

NEW BRITAIN, CONN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reports of a person carrying a sword or a handgun led to a three-hour lockdown at Central Connecticut State University on Monday, and the son of a geography professor was at the center of the commotion, school officials said.

University officials said 21-year-old senior David Kyem, son of CCSU professor Peter Kyem, was arrested Monday and charged with breach of peace. They said the younger Kyem was released on $1,000 bail.

The school did not release any other information. Police said no weapons were recovered and there was no threat to the campus.

The university declared a campus emergency about noon Monday, directing people to stay inside and away from windows on the 182-acre campus south of Hartford. State troopers and police from several nearby cities responded, and SWAT teams swarmed around a 400-student residential building, James Hall, where the suspect had been seen.

Court could take up new abortion case WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Supreme Court on Monday declined for now to jump back into the long-running legal fight over abortion, but a flood of new state restrictions has increased the chances that the issue soon will be back before the justices.

The court stepped back from a dispute over a nownullified Oklahoma law to limit drug-induced abortions.

But a new filing asks the justices to block new Texas restrictions that have dramatically reduced the availability of abortions in Texas.

Oklahoma also is challenging its state high courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rejection of a law mandating an ultrasound exam before an abortion can be performed and Arizona, backed by 16 other states, wants the justices to let it enforce a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except for medical emergencies.

Report slams doctors involved in torture WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A report by a medical task force says Defense Department and CIA health professionals violated professional ethics standards by helping to develop interrogation and torture techniques and participating in force-feeding of terror suspects over the last decade.

While reports of torture following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 are not new, the report by the Institute on Medicine as a Profession said the U.S. should do a full investigation into how much military and intelligence physicians and psychologists participated in the interrogations, saying the record â&#x20AC;&#x153;remains fragmentary.â&#x20AC;?

The report, compiled by a 20-member task force, says that government agencies improperly used legal restrictions rather than ethical standards to determine the actions of health professionals. And it said heath workers must be held to higher ethical standards than interrogators, who can inflict stress to legal limits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A health professional has an obligation not to participate in acts that deliberately impose pain or suffering on a person,â&#x20AC;? said the report.

The retired car dealer got the chance to mark his centenarian birthday Monday by doing just that.

Jean Walcher of the U.S. Parachute Association says Maynard and his two great nephews made their first skydive along with trained instructors from 13,000 feet southeast of Los Angeles.

Skydive Perris manager Dan Brodsky-Chenfeld says Maynard obtained a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note before making the jump.

Circular logic

Public fed up with federal government

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

City commissioners need to take a broad look at plans for Wakarusa Drive from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway before moving ahead on one or two huge roundabouts on that stretch.

R

oundabouts and traffic calming circles have become an increasing part of the Lawrence streetscape in recent years.

Motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians have gotten accustomed, for the most part, to the new traffic structures, but a proposal to place one, and probably two, huge roundabouts on Wakarusa Drive between Bob Billings Parkway and Sixth Street deserves more than cursory discussion by Lawrence city commissioners.

Commissioners are being asked to provide feedback tonight on plans to rebuild Wakarusa Drive north of Oread West Drive. As part of that project, the city staff is recommending the construction of what would be the city’s largest roundabout at the intersection of Wakarusa and Legends/Inverness Drive. Traffic at that intersection, they say, is heavy enough to warrant increased traffic control. Traffic lights would be another option for the intersection, which now is a four-way stop, but the roundabout is preferable, they say, for a number of reasons.

Cost is one. They say traffic lights at the intersection would cost about $500,000, including the cost of adding left-turn lanes on Inverness and Legends. The roundabout would cost $350,000, they estimate, but that figure doesn’t include the required acquisition of property on commercial lots to the west and residential backyards to the east.

The fact that roundabouts and circles place an obstacle in the intersection does serve to reduce the speeds of motorists, but traffic officials’ claim that the structures improve traffic flow and safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians seems open to debate. This particular roundabout would involve a not-simple traffic pattern connecting single lanes of east-west traffic, with Wakarusa’s double lanes moving north and south. The squiggly signs in materials that accompany tonight’s commission agenda provide some clues about traffic flow, but the double-lane roundabout almost certainly will cause some headaches, especially for out-of-town drivers.

Another important factor on the Wakarusa plan is the footnote that IF a roundabout is constructed at Inverness/ Legends Drive, another similar structure likely will be proposed later at Harvard Road, less than a half-mile to the north.

That’s a lot of driving in circles in the nine blocks between Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway.

As noted above, Lawrence residents have grown accustomed to the increased number of traffic circles in the city, but it’s obvious that many out-oftown motorists still find them confusing. Perhaps the proposed roundabout at Wakarusa and Legends/Inverness is the best plan for the intersection, but commissioners should look carefully at all the relevant factors for the entire stretch of street from Bob Billings to Sixth Street before making their decision.

Fantastic foliage When it comes to beautiful fall colors, it would be hard to top northeast Kansas this year.

H

igh winds over the weekend may have slightly altered nature’s fall palette of colors, but area residents have been treated to an unusually vibrant display of gloriously colored foliage this year.

According to local experts, these beautiful hues can be attributed to a combination of just the right temperatures (near, but mostly just above, freezing) at the right time, ample ground moisture and some clear, sparkling sunny days.

The results have been the most spectacular fall color in recent memory. Year after year, many local residents tell of trips to the Northeast or the Colorado mountains to see the fall colors. This year, it would be difficult to top the natural beauty of northeast Kansas.

Mother Nature paints a fantastic landscape.

Only two weeks ago, President Barack Obama looked like a man on the rise. He and his party had successfully stared down Republicans in a 16-day government shutdown. Voters were angrier at the GOP than any time since, well, the last government shutdown. A confidentlooking Obama declared it was time to get the country back on track with quick action on a budget agreement, immigration reform and a bipartisan farm bill.

“One of the things that I hope all of us have learned these past few weeks is that it turns out smart, effective government is important,” he said.

How long ago that moment seems now.

Since then, almost nothing has gone right for the president. The messy rollout of his biggest achievement, the Affordable Care Act, has careened from a simple case of website glitches to a nightmare of consumer complaints.

Some of the country’s closest allies have expressed outrage at reports that the NSA was tapping the cellphones of their leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

And last week, the NBC-Wall Street Journal poll reported that Obama’s approval rating had sunk to 42 percent, an alltime low for him in that survey.

But the president wasn’t alone in losing ground. That same poll found that the Re-

“

We’ve finally found an issue on which almost all Americans, right and left, agree: We hate having a federal government that creates problems instead of solving them.”

publican Party has also hit an all-time low, with only 22 percent of voters saying they had a positive opinion of the GOP. Most dramatically, 63 percent of voters said they wanted to fire their current member of Congress, while only 29 percent said their representative deserved re-election.

We’ve finally found an issue on which almost all Americans, right and left, agree: We hate having a federal government that creates problems instead of solving them. And the shutdown, the Obamacare rollout and the phone-tapping scandal are all government-created problems.

Members of Congress on both sides insist that they learned their lesson from the shutdown and won’t stage a repeat performance. But the public isn’t so sure. Polling shows that about half of Americans think Congress is likely to do it again, and that fear is dragging consumer confidence down, making the economy more sluggish than it needs to be.

While Republicans get most of the blame for the

government shutdown, voters tend to blame the president — any president — when the economy is bad.

In addition, voters generally believe it’s the president’s job to make the federal government run well, and with the health care rollout and the NSA issues following so closely on the heels of the shutdown, the government isn’t exactly humming. “When the system isn’t working, no one comes out well,” noted veteran pollster Andrew Kohut of the Pew Research Center.

In Washington, of course, the big question is what effect the public’s sour mood will have on next year’s congressional election, in which Republicans hope to take over the Senate and Democrats hope to take over the House of Representatives.

Democratic pollster Stan Greenberg surveyed 80 “battleground districts” that could change hands and found that Republicans look more vulnerable than before.

In some Republican districts, he told me, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is now even more unpopular than former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. But even Greenberg warned that few voters have actually decided to vote for the other party.

And that finding that almost two-thirds of voters want to fire their member of Congress? Don’t count on it. “If you speak to someone at an emotional moment, you often get an emotional

response,” Kohut said. “By election day, voters aren’t likely to behave as dramatically as that.”

Even if voters stay mad through the 2014 election, it’s unlikely that will change the balance in the House. To gain the 17 seats they’d need for a majority, Democrats would need to win almost every close race in the country.

As for Obama, he’s hoping that once the Obamacare website is running smoothly — which his staff says will happen by the end of November — he can move on to other issues: immigration reform, infrastructure spending and job creation.

But second terms are often rocky. For every Bill Clinton, who managed to push past the rough spots, there’s a George W. Bush, whose second term lurched from one crisis to another.

So far, Obama’s second term hasn’t given his supporters much cause for optimism.

Like Bush, Obama came out of re-election declaring that voters had given him a mandate, only to discover that voters’ patience with a president can wear thin astonishingly fast. Whether he regains public confidence now depends largely on making his health care program work — its insurance plans, not just its website. For the president, it comes down to one thing: Obamacare.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 5, 1913: YEARS “The Club Women AGO of Lawrence have IN 1913 revived the agitation for the naming of the streets of the city. They have a fund on hand which they wish to donate to this cause... If the plan is approved and the money that seems available is turned over to this cause the city fathers may be relieved of the part asked or them and the signs put up and Lawrence given something the need of which has been felt for many years.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Real insurance To the editor: The Affordable Care Act (ACA, or “Obamacare”) outlaws Potemkin health insurance policies after Jan. 1. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous insurance companies are responding with political demagoguery.

“Potemkin insurance” means now you see it, now you don’t. You think you have good health insurance until the bills come in; then you discover all the loopholes.

Some companies selling these policies have sent letters scaring their customers about huge premium increases to come, allegedly caused by the ACA. Here’s what these letters leave out:

It’s an “apples and oranges” comparison. The new premium covers real insurance. The old premium covered Potemkin insurance. Real insurance costs more than fake insurance.

New tax credits are available for real insurance.

Much better deals may be available from other companies. Companies that sell Potemkin insurance don’t usually offer the best deals on real insurance.

You don’t have to buy from exploitative companies. Under the ACA, everyone is now eligible for insurance

without discrimination or “underwriting.” You can’t be denied insurance because of pre-existing conditions.

Competitive private insurance options are listed on the ACA insurance exchange. You don’t have to shop around.

The Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters hopes that consumers will see through these distortions and avoid insurance companies that send dishonest letters.

Currently the ACA website isn’t working very well. To purchase insurance you may have to download an application to send through the mail. A list of expert “navigators” who will help you for free is available at http://insureks.org/assistance.php.

Money talks To the editor: I’ve just learned of a new plan of Doug Compton’s to tear down the Allen Press building and replace it with a pharmacy chain store and a seven-story apartment building. I can only hope that the friend who informed me of the plan was mistaken, that he was having a very bad dream that certainly won’t come true.

However, knowing him as well as I do and now well-familiar with the ways of the City Commission when it comes to large, unsuitable building projects, I have no doubt that protesting approval of this further change to the character of Lawrence’s downtown and the East Lawrence residential area will be useless.

Completely out of character with the wonderful old limestone courthouse, architecturally having no similarities to the beautiful bank building that houses Watkins Museum of History, it will not blend in or benefit anyone who lives in Lawrence.

As with the opposition by property owners to the new ordinance requiring them to take responsibility for proper upkeep of their rentals, the City Commission will again ignore the public comments of those who will be most affected and bow to those whose investment is not in our community, but rather in their own financial security.

Whether it be the construction of new buildings or the preservation of history, the addition of even more student housing in the form of apartment complexes or an effort to maintain affordable decent rental homes for families, we can be sure that our City Commission will vote with those whose money enriches the city’s tills.

Tweaks to OL likely for KU

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Catching up

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

After freeing up his plate by giving offensive-gameplanning duties to assistant coaches Ron Powlus and Jeff Blasko, Kansas University head coach Charlie Weis began working more closely with KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide receivers, and, just like that, the wide receivers began playing better on Saturdays.

With KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line continuing to struggle, Weis hopes the same approach with the big boys up front will work this week against Oklahoma State and beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it all starts up front, to be perfectly honest with you,â&#x20AC;? said Weis when asked on Monday morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big 12 teleconference about his offenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to establish some chemistry and get the same guys playing together all the time, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been very efficient up front.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to making more trips to the end of the practice field where Tim Grunhard works with KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive linemen, Weis identified other alterations that could help and vowed to make them.

After a rough first few weeks of the season, in which KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth chart experienced regular tweaks and twists along the offensive line, Weis and the Jayhawks have trotted the same starting five onto the field for the past four weeks. And while that group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from left to right: Pat Lewandowski, Ngalu Fusimalohi, Gavin Howard, Mike Smithburg and Aslam Sterling â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showed glimpses of improvement, toughness and consistency, it did not do enough to stick together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made changes personnel-wise in quite some time,â&#x20AC;? Weis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This week, we will change that.

We will adjust some people around.â&#x20AC;?

While the moves, however large or small, will be made public during Weisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regularly scheduled news conference today, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-year head coach said rearranging the parts only could do so much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Changing personnel is one answer. Chemistry is one answer. But when it comes down to it, we just gotta get the guys playing better,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Oklahoma State balanced Asked Monday what he had seen from Oklahoma State on film, Weis pointed to the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to beat teams in different manners as the thing that stood out the most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone thinks that Okie State is throwing the ball all over the place, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not true,â&#x20AC;? said Weis of KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next opponent, 3 p.m.

Saturday in Stillwater, Okla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running the ball, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really running the ball with power. There are a lot of teams that are, by nature, one-dimensional.

Oklahoma State is not one of them. ... You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go in there and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just gonna stop the run,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because

Traylor growing into role

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

LAST SEASON, JAMARI TRAYLOR PLAYED LIKE AN OUTSTANDING ATHLETE trying to become a basketball player. Already this season, he looks like more of the latter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and still plenty of the former.

Jamari Traylor joined Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perennial-powerhouse basketball program and in many ways it was as if practices were in English and he spoke a foreign language. He possessed the raw athletic ability, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the background to apply those skills with as much purpose as the basketball lifers who surrounded him daily. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started playing as a junior in high school,â&#x20AC;? Traylor said after a recent practice, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought a lot of different things were being thrown at me. Then I got here, and I basically realized I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know much at all. Everything I did know wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a fraction of what I had to know.â&#x20AC;?

Per restrictions put in place by the NCAA Clearinghouse, he and Ben McLemore werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to participate in basketball activities the first semester of the 2011-2012 season, and their status as second-semester practice-only players was dependent on them showing significant progress academically, which they did.

By then, Traylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball education had fallen farther behind.

Last season, as a red-shirt freshman, Traylor looked like an exceptional athlete Please see TRAYLOR, page 4B

Point-guard switch in store tonight

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman backup point guard Frank Mason has already learned a lot from junior floor leader Naadir Tharpe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ways to be more vocal, talking to the guys, getting everybody involved when players are down, picking them up,â&#x20AC;? said Mason, a 5-foot-11, 185-pounder from Petersburg, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to work on. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not used to being a vocal leader through high school. College is a different level, being vocal,â&#x20AC;? Mason added.

Mason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who scored five points with one assist and three turnovers while playing 18 minutes as Tharpeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s understudy in last Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

84-55 opening exhibition rout of Pittsburg State â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tonight is slated to start in KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition finale against Fort Hays State (7 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse).

The switch- TIGER ing of the TIME guard is designed with Who: Fort Friday in Hays State mind. vs. Kansas T h a r p e must sit out When: 7 KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular- tonight season opener Where: Allen against Lou- FIeldhouse isana-Monroe TV: Metro as a result of Sports a one-game (WOW! chs.

NCAA pen- 13, 37, 213) alty for playing in a proam game in Chicago over the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to show I can

defend, be a point guard and be coachable and do the things my coach needs me to do,â&#x20AC;? Mason said of his goals during the preseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning all the plays, learning the system overall, knowing my role on the team.â&#x20AC;?

T h a r p e logged 23 minutes, just five more than Mason in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason opener. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play more. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Mason know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a lot more than he normally would have,â&#x20AC;? Self said of Mason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly going to try to get him as many reps as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his responsibility we have a good offensive pos-

session. He needs to be able to make a pass to initiate and drive to create for others. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad possession, then the point guard should take responsibility. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on him. Just like the quarterback should in football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With Frank, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as important to make a pass to start a play as it is to make a pass to finish a play,â&#x20AC;? Self added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see him make easy plays to get the ball moving.

Of course, defensively he needs to cut the head off (stifle opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point guard).â&#x20AC;?

Self said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hoping we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss him (Tharpe on Friday). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping other guys step up and play great.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The World Series champion Boston Red Sox made $14.1 million qualifying offers to free agents Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen Drew on Monday, the first deadline day of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offseason.

Thirteen free agents received the offers, up from nine last year.

The Yankees also extended offers to a trio of players: second baseman Robinson Cano, outfielder Curtis Granderson and pitcher Hiroki Kuroda.

Players accepting are signed for next season. If a player signs elsewhere, his former team gets an extra draft pick at the end of the first round next June as compensation.

Others receiving the offers were Atlanta catcher Brian McCann, Cincinnati outfielder Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez, Kansas City pitcher Ervin Santana, St. Louis outfielder Carlos Beltran, Seattle designated hitter Kendrys Morales and Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz.

Free agents can start talking contract with all teams on Tuesday.

The amount of the qualifying offer, which increased by $800,000 this year, is set by baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective bargaining agreement as the average of the 125 highest contracts.

Among the nine players who received the offers last year, the only ones to stay with their teams were Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, Kuroda and Washington first baseman Adam LaRoche.

If a new club signs a player who received a qualifying offer, that team gives up a high draft pick.

The top 10 overall selections in the draft cannot be forfeited, and a team signing multiple qualified players would lose a corresponding amount of selections.

Boston general manager Ben Cherington said the Red Sox decided not to make an offer to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, though he would like to re-sign the catcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in every one of them,â&#x20AC;? Cherington said of his free agents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that every one of them will be back. ...

Cruz served a 50-game suspension this year; he was among 14 players disciplined by Major League Baseball after its investigation of the Biogenesis anti-aging clinic. In 108 games before his suspension in August, Cruz hit .269 with 27 homers and 76 RBIs. He returned for the AL wild-card tiebreaker and went 0 for 4.

Among those who did not receive offers were pitchers Bronson Arroyo of Cincinnati, Matt Garza of Texas, Roy Halladay of Philadelphia, Tim Hudson of Atlanta, Josh Johnson of Toronto and Fernando Rodney of Tampa Bay. San Francisco declined a $6.5 million option on right-hander Ryan Vogelsong.

DENVER INTERIM HEAD COACH JACK DEL RIO, LEFT, WATCHES as the team practices at the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice facility Monday in Englewood, Colo.

Del Rio â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;next man upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to coach Broncos ENGLEWOOD, COLO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One of John Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite sayings is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Next man up.â&#x20AC;?

Whenever a starter goes out, his replacement needs to step right in and keep things rolling.

This time, that next man up is defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of the Denver Broncos while their head coach recovers from heart surgery.

While Del Rio was running his first practice as the Broncos interim coach Monday, Fox was in the recovery room at Carolinas HeathCare Systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute in Charlotte, N.C., after having his aortic valve replaced in an operation he had hoped to delay until after the Super Bowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all wish him a speedy recovery. The best way that we could honor him is to go out and play great football,â&#x20AC;? Del Rio said after taking over a 7-1 team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the prohibitive Super Bowl favorite even though the Broncos trail the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) in their own division.

Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Robin, issued a statement through the team that said Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation went well and he was being monitored in the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postoperative critical care unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Along with his medical team, we will take great care of him so he can fully recover and get back to coaching the Broncos as soon as possible,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Del Rio, who spent nearly nine seasons as Jacksonvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach before joining Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff last year, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honored to serve as caretaker of Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a mission to carry on and continue the things that coach Fox has instilled and started with this football team,â&#x20AC;? Del Rio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Coach Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m merely the person thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to keep it running right now while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healing.â&#x20AC;?

Players arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting any change with Del Rio in charge, either â&#x20AC;&#x201D; OK, maybe a scowl here or a tongue-lashing there, but nothing substantively different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing changes,â&#x20AC;? wide receiver Bubba Caldwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a different co-pilot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a different guy saying the same words.â&#x20AC;?

Kubiak to stay in hospital HOUSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texans coach Gary Kubiak will remain hospitalized until at least Tuesday after collapsing on the field at halftime of Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27-24 loss to Indianapolis.

The team said the 52-year-old Kubiak experienced â&#x20AC;&#x153;dizziness and a light-headed feelingâ&#x20AC;? during Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game before being taken by ambulance to a hospital. The Texans have not said what caused the problem, saying only that Kubiak has gone through a battery of tests and is with his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gary is alert, coherent and in good spirits,â&#x20AC;? general manager Rick Smith said Monday as questions swirled about the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is continuing to be evaluated and monitored.â&#x20AC;?

Kubiak will remain at the hospital for at least the next 24 hours, the team said, leaving the reeling Texans, losers of six straight, left to wonder when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll return.

Incognito sent racist texts DAVIE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the stadium program sold at the Miami Dolphinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; game on Halloween, Richie Incognito was asked whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the easiest teammate to scare. His answer: Jonathan Martin.

The troubled, troubling relationship between the two offensive linemen took an ominous turn Monday with fresh revelations: Incognito sent text messages to his teammate that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation said.

The people spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins and NFL havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disclosed the nature of the misconduct that led to Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspension of Incognito, a veteran with a reputation for dirty play.

Martin, a tackle, remained absent from practice Monday one week after he suddenly left the team because of emotional issues. Also missing was Incognito, a guard suspended indefinitely late Sunday by coach Joe Philbin for his treatment of Martin.

Agents for the two players didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to requests for comment. Martin is with his family in Los Angeles for counseling.

The 319-pound Incognito, a ninth-year pro, is white. The 312-pound Martin, who is in his second NFL season, is black. For much of the season, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played side by side.

The team and NFL continued their investigation into allegations by Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representatives that he was bullied, and Philbin said Dolphins owner Stephen Ross asked Commissioner Roger Goodell for assistance. The NFL Players Association also planned to look into the matter.

Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staying put in Oakland OAKLAND, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff insists his team is staying put. For now, anyway.

Wolff said Monday through the team that the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will extend their lease at the Oakland Coliseum and â&#x20AC;&#x153;look forward to another great season.â&#x20AC;?

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing partner responded to a report in the San Francisco Chronicle saying Major League Baseball might get involved to help the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play across the bay in the San Francisco Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; AT&T Park if no short-term lease was reached to continue their home games in the rundown Coliseum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more rugged,â&#x20AC;? Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center fielder Coco Crisp said of the ballpark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does have its own personality.â&#x20AC;?

It was unclear how many years Oakland is seeking for its lease, and the team declined further comment since no deal has been reached with the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority.

Cabrera players-choice pick NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera has won his second straight player of the year award in voting by his fellow major leaguers.

Cabrera followed his Triple Crown season of 2012 with another impressive year. He led the American League with a .348 average and had 44 homers and 137 RBIs, both second to Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Davis. Cabrera edged Davis and the Angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mike Trout for the honor.

Retiring Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was voted Marvin Miller man of the year for excellence on and off the field, and Rivera was also picked as the ALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback player of the year, notching 44 saves after missing most of 2012 with a knee injury.

Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Francisco Liriano was selected the NLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comeback player.

Big 12 race could go distance The Associated Press

The Big 12 regular season spans 15 Saturdays from August to December, and easily could go the distance before a champion is determined.

With five weeks left, fifth-ranked Baylor (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) is the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only undefeated team and controls its fate for its first Big 12 title. The Bears get their toughest test of the year Thursday night when they host their first ranked opponent, No. 12 Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1), which beat rising star and No. 25 Texas Tech in its last game.

Baylor also has games left against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas, and a trip to rival TCU. The Bears have won a school-record 11 games in a row since a loss to the Sooners last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a realistic standpoint, we just feel like this season is just getting started,â&#x20AC;? Bears coach Art Briles said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played seven games, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready and willing and anxious to get into the grind time, get into where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fighting and scraping for every single thing thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always approached the game.â&#x20AC;?

There are several games remaining between now at the first weekend of December that match teams in the upper half of the Big 12 standings â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be probably the most exciting and fun five weeks in the history of the Big 12,â&#x20AC;? said Texas coach Mack Brown, whose Longhorns have won all five of their Big 12 games since going 1-2 in their non-conference games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some huge games left. ... It should be a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

BAYLOR FOOTBALL COACH ART BRILES, RIGHT, CONGRATULATES PLAYERS as they walk off the field following a score against Iowa State during their game Oct. 19 in Waco, Texas. On Thursday, Brilesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Big 12-leading Bears will take on Oklahoma.

(7-1, 4-1) has consecutive games against Texas and Baylor. Texas Tech (7-2, 4-2), which has lost to the two Oklahoma schools the past two weeks, plays Kansas State before ending the regular season with its chance against the only two teams without a league loss so far, including a trip to Texas on Thanksgiving night.

If all that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to settle things, there are the two potential blockbuster games to end the regular season Dec. 7. Texas goes to Baylor as the last opponent ever at Floyd Casey Stadium in a possible titledeciding game. And there is the Bedlam Series with the Sooners going to Oklahoma State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of great games, and so much to be decided,â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked last night as a team only about Kansas,â&#x20AC;?

OSU coach Mike Gundy said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the great thing about college football. The way the BCS is set up, essentially weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in March Madness every week.â&#x20AC;?

Based on this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS standings, no league has more Top 25 conference matchups over the rest of the regular season than the four for the Big 12.

The 14-team SEC, which has four teams more than the Big 12, also has four while the Pac-12 has two such games.

Oklahoma shared last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big 12 title with Kansas State (4-4, 2-3), a definite longshot for another championship even after winning its last two games.

A year after the Big 12 sent a record 90 percent of its teams to bowls, it is the only conference so far this season to have half of its teams bowl eligible.

Iowa State (1-7, 0-5) has already been eliminated from bowl contention and TCU (3-6, 1-5), with its first three-game losing streak in coach Gary Pattersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13 seasons, has to win the rest of its games to avoid the same fate. Kansas (2-6, 0-5) has lost 26 consecutive conference games.

West Virginia, coming off a big overtime victory at TCU, hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a losing season since going 3-8 in 2001. That was the last time the Mountaineers (4-5, 2-4) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to a bowl game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really looking at the big picture,â&#x20AC;?

WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into that TCU game, there was some talk with some of the guys about that very thing.

Especially the seniors getting together, not wanting to be the first team to have a losing season in a while.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to go to a bowl game.â&#x20AC;?

Smart tops preseason All-America team

The Associated Press

A lot of people were shocked when Marcus Smart announced he would return to Oklahoma State for his sophomore season. Nobody should be surprised the Cowboys point guard was a unanimous selection to The Associated Press’ preseason All-America team.

Smart was on every ballot from the 65-member national media panel Monday, a no-brainer since he was expected to be among the first players chosen if he had declared for the NBA draft.

The last unanimous preseason All-America was Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger in 2011-12.

After averaging 15.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 3.0 steals last season in winning the Big 12 player of year award, it was how the Cowboys fared in the NCAA tournament that had a lot to do with his coming back.

“I felt like we had a lot more to accomplish,” Smart said of the loss to Oregon in Oklahoma State’s opening game of the NCAA tournament.

“We were a lot better team than that. That’s just not the way we wanted to go out. It helped me a lit-

Freshman Wiggins makes squad Staff and Wire Reports

Kansas University freshman Andrew Wiggins was named to the Associated Press’ 2013-14 Preseason All-America team, released Monday.

The AP team is voted on by a 65-member national media panel.

Wiggins becomes the second freshman to earn Associated Press Preseason All-America honors since the team was first selected for the 1986-87 season. He joins Harrison Barnes of North Carolina in 2010-11 as the only freshmen to earn the preseason accolade.

Joining Wiggins on the AP 2013-14 Preseason All-America team are Marcus Smart (Oklahoma State), Doug McDermott (Creighton), Russ

Smith (Louisville) and Mitch McGary (Michigan). Prior to Wiggins, the most recent Jayhawk to be named to the AP Preseason All-America team was eventual consensus All-America selection Sherron Collins in 200910.

Jeff Withey, Thomas Robinson and Marcus M o r r i s Wiggins were all named AP Preseason AllAmerica honorable mention at KU. “He’s been preseason national player of the year on several things. I guess being preseason AllAmerican doesn’t surprise me at all. Now the key

is making sure he plays to that level,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Hopefully it’ll be something else he takes in stride like everything else and not put any extra pressure on himself.

It’s great for our school, though. To have guys that well thought of, is pretty cool.”

Wiggins averaged 23.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocked shots and 2.5 steals while at Huntington Prep in West Virginia last season.

The Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, native was the Gatorade Boys High School Basketball Player of the Year and later the Gatorade Boys Athlete of the Year. Wiggins is a consensus preseason All-America selection and the Preseason National Player of the Year

Smart was joined on the preseason All-America team by seniors Doug McDermott of Creighton and Russ Smith of Louisville, sophomore Mitch

McGary of Michigan and freshman Andrew Wiggins of Kansas.

The 6-foot-4 Smart, who also won the Wayman Tisdale Award as the country’s top freshman, said he’s also coming back

Freshman combo guard Wayne Selden has confidence in Mason, who averaged 17 points and 8.0 assists last year at Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va. “Naadir is more cool, calm and collected. Frank is more of a faster pace, I want to say,” Selden noted, citing Tharpe for having experience. “They are two different point guards. They both work well in our system.

“Frank is doing a good job of backing Naadir. I don’t think it’ll be that big of a change. Frank is good; Naadir is good. We’ve got a lot of good guards — Naadir, Frank, Conner (Frankamp) We’re adjusting well in following their leadership.”

Selden, who stands 6-5, also can run the point.

McDermott, the Missouri Valley Conference player of the year last season after averaging 23.2 points and 7.7 rebounds, was on all but two ballots. He enters the season with a chance at joining an exclusive group. A two-time firstteam All-America, McDermott could become just the 11th player to be a three-time postseason selection and the first since Patrick Ewing of Georgetown and Tisdale at Oklahoma from 1983-85.

The 6-8 forward is one four returning starters for the Bluejays and coach Greg McDermott, Doug’s father. Creighton moves to the Big East this season.

“I’m looking at this season as an opportunity to embrace a new challenge,” he said. “We know it’s much more physical and there are a lot more athletes than we’re used to.

We’ve prepared ourselves pretty well. We know it’s going to be a grind and we’re looking forward to that.”

The 6-foot Smith, who received 52 votes, averaged 18.7 points and 2.9 assists in helping the Cardinals win the national

championship. He won’t have the graduated Peyton Siva with him in the backcourt but coach Rick Pitino will still be calling the shots.

“I realized how much I loved playing with my teammates and how much fun it is to win,” Smith said of returning for his senior year, “and this is part of the purpose of being a national champion.

Obviously, I wasn’t a clear cut first-round pick, so coming back was mainly because of coach, my teammates, the Louisville campus, the community, graduating.”

McGary, who averaged 7.5 points and 6.3 rebounds, caught the country’s attention during the Wolverines’ run to the NCAA title game when he averaged 14.3 points and 10.7 rebounds. The 6-10 McGary, who received 34 votes, has been slowed by a lower back condition heading into this season.

“Right now I’m day to day — doing stuff on the court, light shooting, limited in what I can do, what they’re allowing me to do,” McGary said last week. “There’s no target date or anything.”

C.J. Miles led the Cavaliers with 19 points. Rookie forward Anthony Bennett, taken with the No. 1 pick in the draft, missed all three of his shots and is 0-for-15 from the field this season.

His only points have come on two free throws in the season opener.

Cavaliers center Andrew Bynum played 18:40, his longest stint of the season, and scored 10 points with four rebounds. After playing 9:42 in the first half, he returned in the third quarter for the first time in the four games he’s played. Bynum, who missed all of last season with injuries to both knees, said before the game he’s not sure if he will regain the explosiveness he had earlier in his career.

Magic beat Nets, but need to be in lottery

By Brian Schmitz

Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO HEAD COACH JACQUE VAUGHN DIRECTS HIS PLAYERS against the Nets on Sunday in Orlando, Fla.

ORLANDO, FLA. — What in the name of Andrew Wiggins are the Magic doing?

They upset the Brooklyn Traveling All-Star Show on Sunday night 107-86 at Amway Center to move to .500.

They just didn’t upset the Nets; they crushed them so badly that the Nets’ Russian billionaire owner is sending his stars to the D-League in Siberia.

So what part of “draft lottery” don’t the Magic understand?

Are you kidding?

I mean, this game was a perfectly scheduled loss.

Then they go all Buster Douglas on the Nets.

GM Rob Hennigan needs to huddle his coaches and players, and remind them of the game plan this season.

And while Hennigan is at it, he needs to get on the phone and try to trade Jameer Nelson, Arron Afflalo and Jason Maxiell. They can’t have these veterans helping the Magic win games and possibly losing ping-pong balls and a crack at the best college players available since LeBron’s class of 2003.

Hennigan also better

make Nik Vucevic play in leg irons. And he needs to tell this rookie, Victor Oladipo, to, um, start playing like one and ...

All right, all right.

Lest I come off as The Grinch, let’s give the Magic their due.

Let’s all enjoy the moment like it’s a bowl win.

Let’s salute Jacque Vaughn and a bunch of guys who finished as the NBA’s worst team last season.

It was fun watching the Magic deviate from the script.

Heck, you couldn’t help but be happy to see a team that is slowly rebuilding whip a team that was built overnight.

Just by scanning the empty seats in the lower bowl, Magic fans obviously didn’t believe it was possible.

Asked how many people gave the Magic a chance before tip-off, big man Kyle O’Quinn said, “Two — my parents.

They think we can beat the Heat in Game 7.”

The Magic billed it as “Family Night.” It looked as if fans preferred to spend time with their families than with Maurice Harkless and Andrew Nicholson.

Have the Magic fallen so hard that season-ticket holders would rather

stay home to play on the computer or watch “Survivor” or Duck Dynasty reruns?

Not surprisingly, Orlando is suffering from Howard Hangover.

Dwight Howard is gone. He took all the excitement and wins with him after spoiling us for so long. It will take a while for the Magic to matter again.

What you do miss sometimes when you are not at a Magic game is ... the other team.

The Magic don’t have a lot going for them now, but they always have marquee guests come through town like the starry Nets.

Or Doc’s Clippers.

Or the ring-bearing Heat.

For now, the draw is often the visitor.

But sometimes when you skip a Magic game you miss...your team doing the unimaginable.

You miss the Magic throwing their $63 million payroll at Brooklyn’s $187 million outfit and emerging with change.

You miss Jason Kidd, making his coaching debut after serving a two-game suspension for drunk driving, looking up at a 56-42 deficit during a timeout and mouthing these words: “Wow.”

You miss another kid, Oladipo, spinning through three Nets defenders for a layup.

You miss Oladipo stealing Deron Williams blind, finishing the heist with a 360-degree dunk for a 21-point Magic lead.

Wow, indeed.

The Magic have now won two straight and should have beaten Minnesota the other night.

Is it possible that the Magic are a little too good for their own good?

It’s a little early with a lot of season left to panic.

But the young guys look improved, and Oladipo is special. Maybe too special.

Oladipo has pushed Afflalo to be better and has enough talent to throw the Magic off the track for the best draft positioning.

And here he was after the Brooklyn ambush, saying he wants to “win as bad as” Nets stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce do, adding, “Eventually I want to be a potential Hall of Famer just like them.”

Wins are great, but no more than 25 of them, please.

Seriously, the Magic need to stick to the plan.

Every underdog has his day, but keep the growling to a minimum.

We reach more people with an interest in Lawrence than anyone anywhere.

GREEN BAY QUARTERBACK SENECA WALLACE (7) LOOKS FOR A TARGET during a 27-20 loss to the Bears on Monday in Green Bay, Wis.

Packers lose Rodgers, game to Bears, 27-20

GREEN BAY, WIS. (AP) — The Chicago Bears have a better insurance policy than Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

Josh McCown, playing in place of the injured Jay Cutler, threw for two touchdowns Monday night as the Bears won 2720 and ended a six-game skid to their NFC North rivals. The loss snapped Green Bay’s four-game winning streak, but the far larger concern is the health of Rodgers, who hurt his left (non-throwing) shoulder when he was sacked on the first series by Shea McClellin.

Rodgers took a few warm-up throws with backup Seneca Wallace but, after being examined by medical staff, ran into the Green Bay locker room. He wasn’t seen again until midway through the third quarter, when he came back onto the field in sweats.

Though he waved to fans with his right hand, and didn’t appear to be wearing a brace, he kept his left hand jammed in his pocket.

The win pulls the Bears into a three-way tie for first in the NFC North with Green Bay and Detroit, all at 5-3. The loss spoiled another big night

by Green Bay rookie Eddie Lacy, who ran for 150 yards and a touchdown.

Green Bay has been hit hard by injuries, with James Jones (knee) returning Monday night after a two-game absence

Well, their focus right now is on getting some rest on their week off.

The Chiefs met to review video of Sunday’s 23-13 win over Buffalo on Monday before scattering for some down time.

The coaches plan to begin preparation for a highprofile showdown with AFC West rival Denver the following week.

The Chiefs visit the Broncos (7-1) on Nov. 17, a game that has been moved to prime time.

“I think every guy in this locker room, in the back of their head this who week, will be thinking about Denver,” Smith acknowledged. “Big game ahead of us. But a little time, get away a little back, we’ll come back fresh and ready to roll.”

Ready to prove all the doubters wrong, too.

The Chiefs have played arguably the weakest schedule in the NFL through the first nine weeks of the season, and finish up by playing quite possibly the toughest down the stretch. Along with two games against the Broncos, they have two against the Chargers,

Imperfect Chiefs carry perfect record into bye KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — As much as Alex Smith tries to avoid it, the veteran quarterback can’t help but hear what outsiders are saying about his Kansas City Chiefs.

That they’re the worst team to ever start 9-0. That their offense is sluggish at best, sloppy at worst. That their defense can’t possibly carry them forever. That they make far too many errors to be a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Here’s the problem with that logic: Even if everything had gone perfectly, Smith observed, the Chiefs would have the exact same record as they head into their bye week.

“I feel like, what are we really talking about?” he said. “There’s a system in place in the NFL to find out who’s the best, and it’s a 16-game season and then the playoffs. To speculate right now who’s the best and who’s not — they don’t give any trophies out after nine weeks.

“All the talk of any of that is just talk,” Smith added. “It’s pointless in my mind. It’s set up to find out who’s the best, and that’s our focus.”

ways to get him to stop drinking, but he won’t do it. We are so afraid he is going to die from all the booze, or that he will get into an accident and kill himself or someone else. How can I get him to see that he is an alcoholic? Please help before we end up having to bury our son. — Two Scared Parents Dear Parents: Your son will not stop drinking until he is ready, and you cannot make that happen. His alcoholism may also mask other problems, such

PBS shows shy side of Jimi Hendrix Conservative. Shy. Joined the military. A dutiful son who wrote faithfully to his father for years.

These descriptions are not what usually come to mind when discussing Jimi Hendrix.

The guitar virtuoso and musical meteor gets his own “American Masters” profile on “Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train a Comin’” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Long associated with outlandish clothes and shocking performances at massive concerts, Hendrix emerges here as a rather reserved individual, fully aware that words and conversation were not his medium. He let his guitar do the talking.

As a young boy, Hendrix always had his guitar by his side. He even took his guitar with him when he joined the military to parachute with the 101st Airborne Division. A broken ankle got him mustered out and allowed him to apprentice as a side guitarist for bands, including the Isley Brothers, as they travelled the country, playing mostly black clubs. These experiences allowed him to synthesize, reinvent and personalize the sounds of other musicians and adapt some of the outlandish showmanship that would become his signature.

This “American Masters” piece reminds us that he flashed from obscurity to eternity in the space of four years. He’d be 70 today (born Nov. 27, 1942), had he lived.

“The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks at 1861-1896, the years between of the Civil War and the Plessy v.

Ferguson Supreme Court decision that institutionalized segregation. The actual history of this era often collides with the Hollywood version of events found in films like “Birth of a Nation” and “Gone with the Wind.” (See below).

Country music stars discuss their music and more on “In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts: Countdown to the CMA Awards” (9 p.m., ABC).

Tonight’s other highlights

Floating evidence scrambles the team on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (7 p.m., ABC).

Luke remains in denial on “Ravenswood” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

Jake faces a ticking clock on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (7:30 p.m., Fox).

Hypnotic evidence on “Person of Interest” (9 p.m., CBS).

New revelations leave Jax bewildered on “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Singer Art Garfunkel is 72. TV personality Kris Jenner is 58. Actor Robert Patrick is 55. Actress Tatum O’Neal is 50. Country singers Heather and Jennifer Kinley (The Kinleys) are 43. Actor Sam Page is 37. Actor Jeremy Lelliott is 31. Rock musician Kevin Jonas is 26.

as depression, and he might be willing to discuss those issues with a doctor. You also could try an intervention, but please do so only with the assistance of a professional.

Right now, contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for support and information. Give the website for Alcoholics Anonymous (aa.org) to John and tell him you love him.

That’s all you can do.

The rest is up to your son.

Dear Annie: I’ve been a public librarian for 15 years. Despite signs that clearly state, “No Cell Phones,” patrons largely ignore them. I once had a father who turned his cell on and played loud music for his toddler daughter in the same room where people were doing research. He then got offended when I asked him to turn it off.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Nov. 5 This year you have an opportunity to break patterns, if you so choose.

Be honest with yourself about what no longer works in your life, and learn to let go. If you are single, you could meet someone in the most unusual way. If you are attached, the two of you evolve to a new level of understanding.

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) Someone you look up to could start acting too nice. You might wonder what to do with this situation. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be taken aback by circumstances involving a partner or family member. You might see that someone is being quite deceptive with this person, but there is little you can do. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Others let you know that they are in charge. Take the hint, and don’t make a big deal out of it. Tonight: It could be a more interesting evening than you might think.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) As well-intentioned as your efforts might be, they likely won’t be able to turn a situation around.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your tone changes when dealing with others. Creativity swirls around you, and it adds an unpredictable element to your plans.

Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds as you rarely

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY By Alicia Moorhead

11/5

Where, in this entire country, is there a refuge from noise?

Why can’t there still be sanctuaries where people can go to think, do homework and write creatively? I’m not saying libraries have to be as quiet as churches, but people who want to talk on their cells need to have respect for others and do so outside of the library. — Shhh, Library Dear Library: People aren’t quiet in church anymore, either. The solution is enforcement.

We recall a time when noisy people were told to be quiet by the librarian and were asked to leave if they didn’t comply. We recommend you do this whether or not patrons are “offendACROSS ed.” Your rules apply.

have witnessed before. You’ll want to honor a chance to head in a new direction. Tonight: Someone makes a demand; it is your call whether to respond.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Reach out to others.

Please do not stand on ceremony.

You will be a lot happier as a result.

Tonight: Join a friend or two.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be aware of how possessive you might sound. Change directions, and know full well that you are going to get a strong reaction. Tonight: Go over your budget carefully.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel energized and ready to handle any problem. You might not choose to discuss a family issue, as you still feel emotional.

Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could feel as if you are adjusting well to the unexpected situations that are occurring around you. You will handle any anger that heads in your direction.Tonight: Postpone a long-distance call for now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to come to a conclusion with a situation that you feel has been on the back burner for too long. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension builds between you and a supervisor. Just in case you have forgotten, you will be reminded who has the last word.

Tonight: Out late.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

Dear Annie: When “John” went to college, he started drinking a lot. I asked him about it then, and he admitted that he might have a problem, but he did nothing about it.

That was 10 years ago.

He has had two DWIs since, and he drinks every day. I found out from his girlfriend that he actually gets into the shower with a beer in his hand. I recently noticed that the whites of his eyes are yellow, which I’m told is a sign of liver damage.

We’ve tried talking with John, but he denies he has a problem. My daughter and her friends have gone out socially with John, and she says he is fun to be with and then suddenly a switch flips and he yells and curses.

John has had many girlfriends, but they all leave. His current girlfriend has tried different
