TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Latest on the Kansas governor’s race.
The three candidates for Kansas governor met to debate in Wichita on Tuesday afternoon, sponsored by the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. Watch a replay here.
1:10 p.m.
The candidates for governor faced off in a debate Tuesday in Wichita
Independent candidate Greg Orman is stepping up his attacks on Democratic nominee Laura Kelly in the Kansas governor’s race.
Orman compared Kelly, a veteran state senator, to unpopular former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback during a debate Tuesday in Wichita at a Kansas Association of Broadcasters convention.
Orman is trailing well behind Kelly and Republican nominee Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state. Kelly and Kobach are in a dead heat, and many Democrats view Orman as a possible spoiler helping Kobach.
Orman, a Kansas City-area businessman, touted his private-sector experience. He said Kelly is like Brownback in that he also was a longtime legislator before becoming governor.
Brownback was a U.S. senator before being elected governor in 2010. He resigned in January to take an ambassador’s post.

12:39 p.m.
The dead-heat Kansas governor’s race has become a referendum on how a Republican experiment in slashing income taxes went awry.
Democrat Laura Kelly and Republican Kris Kobach are arguing over what lessons came from the budget misery that followed tax cuts in 2012 and 2013 and whether the state needs a do-over.
Kelly is a veteran state senator who supported a successful effort last year to repeal most of the tax cuts championed by former GOP Gov. Sam Brownback. She argues that Kobach wants to bring back Brownback’s fiscal experiment and even top it.
Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, wants to return to cutting taxes but bristles at being described as another Brownback. He says he would avoid Brownback’s mistakes by being more aggressive about controlling spending.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The NASA astronaut and northwest Kansas native who survived last week’s failed launch and emergency landing says he knew he needed to stay calm.
Air Force Col. Nick Hague on Tuesday publicly described his close call during a Facebook conversation.
Hague and Russian Alexei Ovchinin were two minutes into their flight last Thursday from Kazakhstan to the International Space Station when the Soyuz rocket failed.
Their capsule ripped away from the rocket as designed and plummeted to Earth. Hague communicated in Russian throughout the more than half-hour ordeal.
Neither was injured.
Hague says he and his crewmate grinned at touchdown, shook hands and then joked about their short flight. He says he’d rather be in orbit, getting ready for a spacewalk, but is grateful to be alive.

The media reported Tuesday it obtained the affidavit detectives prepared in support of the arrest of 47-year-old Mario J. Godinez of Lawrence. Gondinez was charged in August with engaging in consensual sexual activity with the inmate.
The deputy told detectives the woman aggressively seduced him before he touched her and that afterward he felt ashamed of himself.
The deputy was in charge of an inmate work release program at the jail. The inmate ended up let out of the jail through that program even though no judge ever approved her request for work release privileges.

When coming home late from an every-other Wednesday night commitment in Hutchinson, we’ve frequently seen deer, rain or shine, summer and winter along a certain stretch of road north of town. The terrain along these few miles of highway is perfect deer habitat. Last night as we approached that area about 11 p.m., my wife uttered that four-letter word all drivers hate to hear this time of year, “Deer!”
I had enough time to ease into the other lane, and sure enough, standing there in the ditch as regal as can be, was a nice young buck. Thankfully he merely watched us go by without incident. … Welcome to fall in Midwestern deer country!
For the next two months, deer will be moving about more than usual, often seemingly without regard to traffic on roadways. The main reason is the breeding season known infamously as the “rut” — that time of the year where whitetail love is in the air, and bucks, just like all men, seem powerless to resist. Although more frequent deer movement has already begun. The peak of the rut here in Kansas will be sometime in mid-November. Other factors also cause deer to move now more than usual. Suddenly crops that offered them cover and food are now being harvested, forcing them to look for seclusion and for other food sources. Young bucks are also roaming about looking for their own territories and with it, females to breed.
Deer-vehicle collisions can’t always be avoided, but there are things to do to lessen the possibility of hitting one. When traveling at night, slow down, use your high beams when possible and be extra vigilant, staying especially alert along wooded areas where deer often travel. We see deer at the spot I mentioned above, well over 50 percent of the time year round. Have your passengers help you watch; our grandson loves to be on “deer alert.”Heed deer crossings signs and be especially watchful in those areas, as deer crossing signs are posted at those particular spots for a good reason. Also when you see one deer, there are often more. As hard as it will be, if a collision with a deer becomes imminent, DO NOT swerve to miss it, as that may very well put you in the other lane facing oncoming traffic or cause you to lose control of the vehicle and hit something far worse than the deer. If you hit a deer, pull off the road if possible and call 911. Stay in your vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers. Don’t attempt to remove a deer that’s lying on the roadway, let the law enforcement officer do that. Also, if you want to keep the carcass of a deer killed in an accident, you must get a “salvage tag” which any law enforcement officer or game warden can issue.
In West Virginia there is a 1 in 46 chance of hitting a deer, the most of any state in the U.S., followed by Montana, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Wisconsin. The average chance of hitting a deer nationwide is 1 in 167; in Kansas the chances of hitting a deer are 1 in 130, quite a bit better than the national average. In 2017 there were 10,226 deer-vehicle collisions reported here in Kansas, 17 percent of the total vehicle crashes. Butler County reported the most at 438 followed by Sedgwick County with 385.
Something I didn’t know that was verified by my insurance agent is that hitting a deer is covered by the comprehensive portion of our auto insurance policy. A collision with another vehicle or object resulting from trying to avoid hitting a deer is covered by the collision portion. Jennifer Haugh, public and government affairs manager for AAA Kansas, reports that in 2017 the average vehicle repair bill for a deer-vehicle collision averaged $4,500. I found this statistic listed on the website of numerous other auto insurance companies, and it was never less than $4,000.
I hope I’ve not scared you so badly that you’ll refuse to take your car out of the garage until January and be forced to take an Uber everywhere you go. I just want to remind you to drive with a little extra caution for the next couple months to avoid hitting a deer. If you want venison in your freezer, harvesting one during hunting season is a better route to go. It’s much cheaper than getting one with the car and the meat will probably be in better shape. … Continue to Explore Kansas Outdoors!
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Health officials say Kansas has recorded its first flu deaths of the season.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says two deaths in the state have already been directly attributed to influenza as of Monday. Pneumonia has been the direct cause of death in another 38 deaths, and the flu or pneumonia has been contributing factors in an additional 132 deaths.
In last week’s KDHE flu report for Kansas, there were 101 outpatient visits for influenza-like illnesses. The newborn to 4 years old age group had 29 reported cases for the first week of the flu season.
Flu shots are generally recommended for anyone age 6 months and older. Flu symptoms include a fever, body aches, chills, tiredness, cough and headache.
SEDGWICK COUNTY — The trial for a man charged in the killing of a 3-year-old Kansas boy and hiding the body in concrete is beginning this week in Wichita, according to a schedule released from the Sedgwick County Attorney.

In April, Stephen Bodine was bound over for trial on two counts of first-degree felony murder, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, one count of child abuse and one count of aggravated child endangerment.
The ruling came after testimony in the preliminary hearing detailed verbal and physical abuse the boy suffered before his body was found in September of 2017 in a home he shared with his mother, Miranda Miller, and Bodine, who was Miller’s boyfriend.

Miller, who is charged with first-degree felony murder in her son’s death, will be allowed to plead guilty to second-degree murder and other charges after she testifies against Bodine.
The National Emergency Management Association has appointed Angee Morgan, deputy director of the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, to the Emergency Management Accreditation Program commission.
Morgan is a graduate of Fort Hays State University. She joined the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) in December 1987. Morgan began her state career in September 1981, as a secretarydispatcher for the Kansas Highway Patrol in Hays.
“I’m extremely honored to represent NEMA as an EMAP commissioner,” said Morgan, who has been deputy director of KDEM since 2008. “Meeting EMAP standards not only provides evidence of government’s best efforts to comply with national standards, it strengthens the entire nation’s emergency management system.”
EMAP is a voluntary review process for state and local emergency management programs that is a means of demonstrating that a program meets national standards for emergency management through self-assessment, documentation and peer review. Kansas received accreditation in 2012 and was reaccredited in 2018.
The EMAP Commission is the governing and decision making body of the program. The commission’s responsibilities include:
Establishing and maintaining standards for emergency management programs;
Administering an accreditation process that encourages applicant programs to bring their emergency management programs into compliance with those standards;
Conducting on-site assessment of applicant’s compliance;
Acknowledging compliance of programs by issuing accreditation;
Developing and maintaining working relationships with national, regional, state and local associations in the emergency management and related fields for mutual growth and benefit;
Ensuring that the business affairs and the programs of the Commission and its affiliates are conducted on a fair and nondiscriminatory basis;
Educating legislative and executive branches of government and the public on the importance of fully capable emergency management programs at all levels of government based upon high standards;
Promoting the concept of voluntary self-regulation inherent in the accreditation process;
Accepting fees, grants, gifts, bequests, and other contributions that supports the purposes of EMAP; and
Cooperating with other private and public agencies and organizations in a manner that will lead to the improvement in the accreditation program and the delivery of emergency management services.
