Kansas University is now proposing a 5 percent tuition increase for the upcoming school year, an even larger hike than the 4 percent increase proposed a month ago.

The Kansas Board of Regents is scheduled to vote on revised tuition proposals from KU and other state universities on Wednesday.

Numbers made public this week by the Regents show that, like KANSAS KU, most universi- UNIVERSITY ties elected to ask for even larger tuition increases than initially planned.

The board heard universities’ tuition proposals at its May meeting, but midway through the day’s presentations learned that Gov. Sam Brownback signed the state budget and ordered additional allotment cuts to higher education, including cuts to KU that were millions more than expected.

KU’s newly proposed tuition increase is in response to those cuts, university spokesman Joe Monaco said.

“The budget reduction for the KU Lawrence campus was more than we had anticipated,” he said.

Neighborhoods ask city to terminate contract with Chamber

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

A group of Lawrence neighborhood representatives is calling on the city to terminate its contract with Lawrence’s chamber of commerce.

The Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods, or LAN, comprises around

15 representatives from different areas of Lawrence. It sent a letter Monday to city commissioners and City Manager Tom Markus asking that economic development efforts be brought inside City Hall and that Lawrence cease paying its $200,000 annual share to The Chamber.

Chamber CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Dissatisfaction with how Lawrence handles its economic development efforts has been building for “many, many years” among LAN members, Davis said.

McClure, who drafted the letter, said at the June LAN meeting the time was right to take the neighborhoods’ concerns to city and county leaders. He noted the sudden resignation in May of Brady Pollington, the economic development project manager for The Chamber, as well as the ongoing process to change Lawrence’s economic development incentives policies. He also said the newly hired city manager and the City Commission, elected in 2015, may be “more receptive to the notion” than previous officials.

The Chamber has a total budget of approximately $600,000, McElwain said.

Of the total, $200,000 comes from the city and $200,000 from the county.

Private investors pay the remaining amount.

LAN asked in its letter that city and county cease funding to The Chamber and hire two new city staff members at a lower cost.

“We think it’s a good time to suggest a very simple idea, and that is we internalize and professionalize economic development in the city of Lawrence,” McClure said at the meeting. “We no longer hire the Chamber of Commerce to do this work, and we instead hire professionally trained planners who are skilled in economic development.”

McClure and Davis said they thought The Chamber should maintain a role in Lawrence’s efforts to expand and recruit businesses, but they shouldn’t have as big of one, especially related to financial incentives.

“It’s time to say the Chamber of Commerce needs to be at the table in economic development — they always will be, they represent the business interests — but it’s no longer time for them to be staffing the table and be funded by the taxpayers,” McClure said.

Markus said Monday he wanted to speak with McClure about the proposal.

“I want to understand what his concerns are, and maybe I can understand the interest in changing the process better,” Markus said.

Iowa City, where Markus served as city manager before taking the Lawrence position, had a similar setup to Lawrence with economic development initiatives.

Internal staff there worked with an outside organization similar to The Chamber, he said.

“We had people internal and external, just like is happening with the process here,” Markus said.

LAN’s letter states staff of The Chamber lacks education in economic development planning that is

necessary, it says, to guide the City Commission on economic development decisions. It goes on to say The Chamber is an organization that isn’t required to make its work public, and economic development projects “should be open to public scrutiny.”

McElwain was present at the LAN meeting in June, at which he refuted some of the assertions in the letter, including one statement that The Chamber does not report to the city.

The Chamber reports its efforts to the city, county and Kansas University every month, he said.

“We’re not holding any information back from the two managers and two commissions,” McElwain said again Monday.

“We give a confidential monthly report to the city, county and university, so they know exactly what we’re doing.”

If Lawrence were to internalize its economic development efforts, the process of recruiting companies could be susceptible to open records laws.

Although public scrutiny is a good thing, LAN’s letter states, McElwain says it could harm the city’s ability to attract development.

He said the change would “jeopardize” Lawrence’s relationship with companies, which “really value confidentiality” and wouldn’t want competing companies tipped off about their initiatives.

“Second, other municipalities, our competition, would have access to seeing what we’re proposing, and they would have a distinct advantage to oneup us,” McElwain said.

McElwain also said The Chamber was not responsible for putting together financial incentives deals to attract businesses.

Companies apply for financial assistance through the city, and the city’s economic development director analyzes their need. The requests are then taken to the Public Incentives Review Committee for a recommendation before going to the City Commission.

“The Chamber basically gets suggestions and just some ideas of what this company might want to have, but the deals are actually being made by the city manager and the county administrator and the elected officials,” he said. “For them to think we are staging this and putting this together is incorrect.”

About LAN’s letter, McElwain was uncertain how — or if — the proposal would move forward.

“How it’s going to be discussed, what commissioners are going to do with it, I’m uncertain,” he said. “I have a lot of faith not only in the public but also in our elected officials and our two managers that are every month seeing exactly what we’re doing.

It’s not hidden from them.

There’s nothing to hide from them.”

Increasing Lawrence campus tuition the additional 1 percent is expected to bring in an additional $1.8 million for KU, universitywide, Monaco said.

Overall, the new proposed tuition and required fee increases would generate $9.1 million in additional ongoing funding for the Lawrence campus per year, and $2.1 million in additional ongoing funding for KU Medical Center, a total of $11.2 million per year, Monaco said.

Brownback’s May 18 action means a $7 million cut from what had previously been approved for the upcoming fiscal year for KU’s Lawrence campus, about 5.1 percent lower than what lawmakers had initially approved when they adopted a twoyear budget during the 2015 legislative session.

The KU Medical Center was also targeted for a $3.7 million cut, bringing the total cut for the KU system to $10.7 million.

Under KU’s new tuition proposal, an in-state undergraduate student would pay $4,789 per semester, which is $228, or 5 percent, more than last year’s cost, according to proposals provided by the Regents. (Including required fees, the student would pay $5,274 per semester.)

An out-of-state undergraduate student would pay $12,480 in tuition, a $594, or 5 percent, increase from last year’s

cost, if KU’s proposal is approved. (With required fees, the total cost would be $12,965 for the out-ofstate student.)

Incoming KU freshmen, for the second year, may opt to pay a compact tuition rate instead — significantly higher, but locked in for four years.

KU’s proposed compact rate for in-state undergraduates is $5,242 per semester (or $5,727 including required fees).

That’s a tuition increase of $297, or 6 percent, over the 2015-16 compact rate.

In May all the state universities’ proposed tuition increases already were larger than they were the previous year, when the Legislature imposed a 3.6 percent cap on tuition increases. KU had proposed a 4 percent increase, Emporia State had proposed a 3.9

percent increase, and the rest proposed 5 percent increases.

Now, universities are proposing increases ranging from 4.9 percent at Emporia to 6 percent at Fort Hays State.

Only two campuses are not proposing larger increases than they did in May. KU Medical Center’s and Wichita State’s proposed tuition increases both remained at 5 percent.

KU’s proposed standard tuition of $4,789 for in-state undergrads remains the most expensive in the state. Fort Hays State is still by far the cheapest, with an in-state undergraduate tuition of $1,894 per semester proposed for 2016-17.

they need to know that their lives matter.”

One of the school board’s goals for the 2015-2016 school year was to investigate issues related to LGBT students and implement supports. The district created the LGBT task force in response to the goal, and it met throughout the past school year.

Recently issued federal guidelines say transgender students should be able use the bathroom and locker room that matches their gender identity, and the task force report recommended that the district provide private changing areas and showers in locker rooms.

Buck said that another priority is requiring training for staff members regarding LGBT issues.

“Students report over and over again that they wish their teachers and staff members had more knowledge of LGBTQ topics, issues, terminology, preferred pronouns and so on,” Buck said.

For transgender students, Buck noted that some students reported issues with teachers not using the names and pronouns consistent with their gender identities.

Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll, who was one of the administrators involved in the board goal, recognized that staff training and guidelines are needed.

“I think most of it is because adults just don’t know, and from a professional development standpoint they need to learn and then they need to call the student by what the student desires to be called.”

The report covered various topics, organized under five categories: facilities, curriculum, resources, professional development for staff, and student awareness. The report includes challenges identified by the task force in each area, as well as recommendations to address those challenges.

The school board will use the recommendations from the task force to inform its goals for the upcoming school year.

School board President Vanessa Sanburn thanked Buck and other members of the task force for their work.

“I think this is an issue that we care deeply about and are glad that people are willing to come together and talk about how we can improve,” Sanburn said. “…

Kansas Attorney General asks court to nix school closure threat

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt is asking the state Supreme Court to back off its threat to close public schools over funding inequities, arguing that Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders have vowed to address the issue in an upcoming special session.

“An African proverb cautions that ‘when two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled,’” Schmidt said in a motion filed with the court late Friday.

“To prevent harm to Kansas schoolchildren,

their families, and the many Kansans who otherwise rely on having schools open and operating — who are not part of this dispute among the three branches of their government — the State respectfully requests this court withdraw its twice-repeated warning that it may enter an order that would result in the closing of Kansas Public schools,” he said.

On May 27, the court struck down one part of the most recent funding plan adopted by the Legislature, saying that it forces poor districts to levy higher property taxes than wealthier ones in order to achieve comparable levels

of funding.

It gave the Legislature until June 30 to correct the problem, repeating a threat it had made in an earlier decision that if the Legislature fails to adopt an equitable funding formula, it would mean “no constitutionally valid school finance system exists” to fund schools next year.

That would mean, “the schools in Kansas will be unable to operate beyond June 30.”

In his motion Friday, Schmidt repeated the claim asserted by many Republicans, that the amount of money at issue in the dispute is only $38 million, or less than 1

percent, of the total education budget.

“The English language contains many colloquialisms that are as apt here as any legal treatise,” Schmidt wrote. “No remedy imposed in this — or any — case should ‘destroy the village in order to save it,’ ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater,’ ‘use a sledgehammer to kill a fly,’ or impose the ‘death penalty for parking violations.’”

In its May 27 opinion, however, the court said the unequal funding makes the entire “local option budget” formula unconstitutional, and that LOBs, in their entirety, make up about $1 billion,

City to see restaurant, retail plans for west Lawrence lot

or 25 percent, of the total education budget.

Schmidt also argued that closing public schools would itself violate the Kansas Constitution, which requires that schools be “maintained.”

He also suggested the possibility of appealing the case to federal court, arguing that closing public schools would violate the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or IDEA, which guarantees children with disabilities have access to special education services.

Schmidt said his office knew of only one other time when a state court shut down public schools

restaurants and two fastfood restaurants without drive-thrus. There’s 12,725 square feet of office space and 9,500 square feet for retail. A pedestrian plaza is planned for the development’s southwest corner.

Entrances to the area will be available only off 24th Place. Future tenants for the development have not been announced.

Because the proposal no longer includes a drivethru, it doesn’t require a special-use permit or a recommendation from the planning commission. But, as a condition from when the property was rezoned, the City Commission must approve a site plan for the area.

According to a report on the proposal, the city distributed information about the development to residents within 1,000 feet of the site and received no communications in return.

The site plan is on the City Commission’s consent agenda, meaning it will be approved without discussion unless a commissioner or member of the public pulls it for discussion.

Commissioners meet for a budget work session at 3 p.m. today at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St. Their regular meeting starts at 5:45 p.m.

options brought up by attendees at the meeting included looking into providing internet service as a public utility, keeping school libraries open later, and partnering with community businesses and organizations to provide public spaces with free Wi-Fi. Next school year, the district will issue iPads to all its middle school students, and a similar rollout is being planned for the high school level.

Matthew Herbert, a city commissioner and teacher at Lawrence High School, voiced concern that equity issues in regard to internet access will only be exacerbated as the school district implements more technology.

“That socio-economic status piece is going to become so much more pervasive when we ask that the child to succeed

with a tablet than with paper and pencil,” Herbert said. “It’s something we have to address.”

Members of the Lawrence school board, City Commission and County Commission agreed to meet again in about three months to continue discussion on improving internet access, as well as five other topics included as part of the meeting.

In other business: l Douglas County Commission members gave an update on the expansion of mental health services and the Douglas County Jail.

All three governing bodies discussed the timing of future bond issues and elections. Both the county and the district are in the process of planning projects that could call for a tax increase. l Douglas County Commission members provided information on

interconnected food policy programs and efforts to expand access to locally grown produce. l Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll discussed the effect of efforts to increase affordable housing options in Lawrence on the school district. Doll said scattered affordable housing, as opposed to high-concentration of housing, is preferred. l Doll and school board President Vanessa Sanburn provided information on the impact of the district’s funding issues on the city and county. The district is the second largest employer in the city, and they said a shutdown of schools would have a negative economic impact in the community.

considerably more money per pupil than Kansas does.

Still, Tallman said, fewer than half of all students who took the state’s standardized tests in English and math last year scored at levels indicating they are on track to be ready for college or careers after graduation.

And although overall funding for public schools has been increasing, now surpassing $6 billion a year, when all sources of funds are counted, those increases have not kept pace with inflation since the start of the Great Recession in 2008.

As a result, Tallman said, staffing levels have been reduced across the

board in public schools since 2010, including reductions in the number of teachers, core support staff and administrators.

Meanwhile, he said, the number of students qualifying for free or reduced price meals has grown steadily over the last 15 years, to nearly 50 percent of all students today.

And he said there is a direct link between higher poverty rates and lower student achievement in reading and math.

The presentation in Lawrence came less than two weeks before Kansas lawmakers will return to the Statehouse in Topeka for a special session to respond to a recent Kansas

Supreme Court ruling on school funding equity.

But it also came as school districts across Kansas are bracing themselves for the 2017 session when lawmakers are expected to write an entirely new school funding formula.

Among those in the audience Monday were several local legislators, as well as candidates who have filed to challenge incumbents.

“I think it was a good presentation, especially about the overall funding and how it looks more level than I had even thought,” said Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence. “We know the money has gone up for KPERS (retirement contributions) and things like

Currently, the district has about 40 Wi-Fi hotspots available for students to check out, according to Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of educational programs and technology. Because each hotspot carries a monthly service fee, expanding the checkout program would be costly.

“Right now we have about 40 hotspots out there and they’re used all the time,” Kemble said.

“But for the district to pay for 440, that’s a whole new scenario. So, that’s where our concern is.”

Monday’s discussion in Lawrence was part of KASB’s ongoing “statewide advocacy tour,” designed to share with local school officials and political candidates KASB’s talking points about the state of public education in Kansas.

On the positive side, Tallman said, there has been a steady increase over the last 25 years in the number of Kansans who have graduated from high school and have received at least some college education. And in the last 15 years, the number of Kansans with a bachelor’s degree or higher has grown nearly 50 percent.

The trial for one of two former Haskell Indian Nations University students accused of rape began on Monday.

The defendants, a 21-year-old man and a 20-year-old man, are accused of raping a 19-yearold fellow student in a university dormitory on Nov. 15, 2014.

The 20-year-old suspect, whose trial began Monday, faces two felony charges of aggravated criminal sodomy. The 21-year-old suspect faces felony counts of aiding and abetting attempted rape and two counts of rape.

Both men were arrested on Nov. 15, 2014, and released from the Douglas County Jail after posting a $75,000 bond each.

Both were expelled from the school after the incident.

Monday the 20-year-old suspect appeared in court.

Throughout the day prosecutor Mark Simpson and defense attorney Sarah Swain questioned the pool of prospective jurors before selecting a final group for the trial. Topics of alcohol use, college dormitory life, opinions on law enforcement, rape trials in the national news and criminal histories were all discussed.

Attorneys will begin their opening statements at 9 a.m. today. The trial is scheduled to last eight days.

The trial for the 21-yearold suspect is scheduled to begin July 25.

The agency also rated the condition of wheat still out in the field as 10 percent excellent and 51 percent good. About 31 percent is in fair condition, with 8 percent in poor to very poor shape.

Action needed Kansas legislators should clear up the current voter confusion by suspending the state’s proof-of-citizenship law until its legal status is resolved.

W

ith less than two months to go before primary elections, court battles pushed by the Kansas secretary of state continue to add new confusion and complications for Kansans who simply want to exercise their right to vote.

The situation is so serious that state legislators, during their upcoming special session, should consider suspending enforcement of the proof-of-citizenship requirement until legal questions are resolved.

On Friday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that voters who registered at state motor vehicle offices in Kansas must be allowed to vote in federal elections even if they did not provide proof of citizenship.

The ruling will force state election officers to comb through about 50,000 voter registrations that either are on hold or have been discarded. The ruling, which is based on the federal Motor Voter Act, affects only voters who registered at motor vehicle offices, so the state will have to separate those registrations from others that were submitted through voter registration drives or other means.

Then the state will have to devise some way to flag those voters so they will be allowed to vote only in presidential and congressional elections. That process was used during the last election but only for a handful of voters who had registered with a federal form that requires voters to confirm under penalty of perjury that they are citizens but doesn’t require them to present citizenship documents.

The status of voters who register with the federal form also is in question. The 10th Circuit ruled last year that those registrations were valid for federal elections, but the new executive director of the federal Election Assistance Commission — the former Johnson County elections commissioner appointed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach — ruled without conferring with his commissioners that it was legal for Kansas to enforce its proof-of-citizenship law on those registering with a federal form.

That decision now is under appeal.

In court documents, Kobach maintained that Friday’s ruling would result in “widespread confusion” and a “heavy administrative burden” on state election officials. While that certainly is true, this situation was created by the state, not the courts, which saw the right of citizens to cast their ballots as more important than any inconvenience to Kansas officials.

Beyond the inconvenience, however, the legal and administrative confusion surrounding voter registration in Kansas threatens the integrity of state elections far more than any perceived threat posed by non-citizen voters. Continued court battles, which the state so far has consistently lost, are only adding to the confusion. Legislative action to allow all registered voters, whether they have produced proof-of-citizenship records or not — to vote in both state and federal elections this year is a reasonable response to the problem.

‘Brexit’ would trigger EU demise Does the West still exist?

And do we need it?

Those are questions many British citizens are asking as their country prepares for a June 23 referendum on whether Britain should remain in the European Union.

Or to put it another way, are the European institutions that America and Britain worked together to create after World War II, and that brought the continent decades of peace, still relevant? And would Britain be better off on its own?

For anyone with a historic memory dating back two decades, the question is shocking. “As little as 25 years ago, Europe was divided by the Iron Curtain, the Baltic states didn’t exist, and Margaret Thatcher was skeptical of a united Germany,” recalled the noted British historian Timothy Garton Ash. Then, astonishingly, the Iron Curtain fell and Germany united peacefully, safely embedded once and for all in a democratic Europe.

Western values A powerful, united Europe, partnered with the United States, emerged as the premier symbol of “Western values.”

“We’ve got the Europe British prime ministers from Churchill on wanted, and now we propose to leave and pull it apart,” Garton Ash said ruefully in a phone interview from Oxford University, where he teaches. Tabloid headlines in London now scream: “Stick it to the EU!” So what went wrong?

Of course, much has changed since the early 1990s, when some claimed that the liberal democratic model had triumphed forever. As Garton Ash points out, the West came together as “a geopolitical actor”

Trudy Rubin

trubin@phillynews.com

As Garton Ash rightly notes, the great global challenges we face — from a rising China to an expansionist Russia to a traumatized Middle East to climate change — can’t be addressed without close cooperation between the United States and the European Union.” only in the struggle against Nazism and then the Soviet Union. When the Cold War ended, so did the common threat that bound together the Western allies.

Yet the word West once connoted a community of values — democracy, the rule of law, open markets, and the possibility of a better life — to which other nations aspired. Garton Ash became famous as an author of books and articles about Eastern Europe, whose opposition leaders struggled to break out of Moscow’s grip and join the European Union.

Less than three decades later, the Brussels headquarters of the EU has become synonymous with massive bureaucracy rather than values, and many European citizens resent its myriad regulations. The 2008 crash and the EU’s mishandling of the euro crisis undermined faith in its financial institutions.

Moreover, Europe’s open internal borders have facilitated a flow of refugees — and internal EU migrants — that has become an explosive issue across the continent and in Britain. The issue is real but has been whipped up by populist parties in Europe and England — just as it has been by you-know-who in the United States.

Migration is key issue Migration may be the issue that could drive British voters to support a “Brexit,” shorthand for a British exit from the European Union. Here is the heart of the Leave case: “If our future is in the hands of Angela Merkel (the German chancellor, who let in a million refugees), then we don’t want to be part of a suicide mission,” proclaimed Douglas Murray, associate director of London’s Henry Jackson Society, in a debate on Europe’s future at the American Jewish Committee’s national conference.

Those in the Leave campaign argue that Britain would be better off making its own trade deals, taking in fewer immigrants, and separating once again from the continent. But Garton Ash responds that the Brexiteers have vastly underestimated the costs of going it alone.

His argument goes beyond the economic costs, although they are substantial.

Britain’s role as a financial hub would take a big hit, and Scotland might split with the United Kingdom to remain with Europe.

And, ironically, shutting the door to migrants may not benefit Britain, which has taken in fewer than 300 Syrian refugees; the bulk of Britain’s migrants are Europeans from countries such as Poland, Romania, and Bulgaria who enter legally under EU rules and often

take jobs that Britons no longer want.

But Garton Ash makes a more critical case for Remain: The political and security gains of past decades could fall apart if Britain leaves.

Beginning of EU end “I have no doubt that Brexit would be the beginning of the end for the European Union,” he told me. Referendums in other countries would follow, promoted by anti-EU populist parties, including the UK Independence Party (UKIP) and right-wing parties in Germany and France. Their fellow isolationist Donald Trump has also expressed disdain for European institutions.

The Oxford historian wrote in the Spectator: “I cannot share the blithe ahistorical optimism that sees Europe making a smooth segue from this imperfect union to a region of freely cooperating, prosperous liberal democracies. This has been an exceptional period in modern European history, an exception whose durability is now bound up, like it or not, with that of the EU.” If Europe falters, the negative ripple effect would reach across the Atlantic.

As Garton Ash rightly notes, the great global challenges we face — from a rising China to an expansionist Russia to a traumatized Middle East to climate change — can’t be addressed without close cooperation between the United States and the European Union.

Which is why Americans should be paying close attention to the Brexit vote next week.

Mideast bigotry To the editor: The duration, cruelty and rapacity of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank is indefensible. Therefore Israel supporters never defend it. Instead they call their opponents “anti-Semites.”

Unfortunately, some opponents actually are anti-Semites. Even more unfortunately, many Israel supporters positively encourage anti-Semitism.

They say attacking Israel equals attacking Jews. Palestine supporters logically infer they can attack Israel by attacking Jews.

How would reasonable people sort out this moral mess? They would recognize two points: 1. Two forms of bigotry are at war — not only anti-Semitism but also bigotry against Palestinians and their supporters.

2. There are no bright-line criteria.

There are degrees of bigotry against Jews and against Palestinians, all highly intermixed with simple partisanship.

Therefore George Will’s attack on “anti-Semitism” doesn’t pass the smell test (Journal-World, June 12).

First, Will never mentions the occupation. (That’s like condemning the

U.S. invasion of Afghanistan without mentioning 9/11.)

Next, Will proposes a bright-line criterion: Opposing Israel’s existence is automatically anti-Semitic. That can’t possibly be right. (I opposed existence of the Soviet Union, but I was never anti-Russian.)

Next, Will claims that all supporters of BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions against Israel) oppose Israel’s existence. That is a simple lie. (I support BDS. I also support Israel’s existence under narrower borders.)

Middle Eastern peace depends on accepting a nuanced analysis of complex motives, which Will’s bigotry prevents. A two-state solution would lead to declining bigotry on both sides.

In my view, BDS is the only significant force supporting a two-state solution at this time.

Medicaid. It was shot down by the Republican-led Legislature as expected.

Now, just as I thought it was safe to go back in the Jeff King territorial waters, “Jaws” appeared in the personage of the same Jeff King. His proposal to change the Kansas Constitution and curb the power of independent state courts by mandating that schools can’t be closed even if the Legislature doesn’t fix funding inequities is wrongheaded. It would hamstring future courts from fulfilling their constitutional obligation to see that school funding is adequate and fair for all districts.

Kansans should contact their legislator and urge them not to support Sen. King’s proposal that would curtail the power of state courts to fund schools fairly and adequately.

Sandwich chain plots return to Lawrence Also, local social media executive to visit White House

Town Talk

L

awrence, maybe you really can have your buns of yesteryear. Wait, this is not me pitching my specially designed elliptical machine. (My attorney says I can never, ever sell one of those again.) Instead, I’m referring to talk of Schlotzsky’s — the sandwich shop known for its sourdough buns — making a return to Lawrence.

Perhaps some of you remember that there used to be a Schlotzsky’s in the Louisiana Purchase shopping center at 23rd and Louisiana several years ago. Well, it sure looks like Schlotzsky’s wants to come back to Lawrence.

Some renovation work is underway at the old Kentucky Fried Chicken location near Sixth and Wakarusa. If you remember, we reported KFC closed its west Lawrence location earlier this year.

An alert reader has let me know that a vehicle wrapped in Schlotzsky’s logos has been parked outside the business at various times during the renovation work.

That indeed is a good sign that Schlotzsky’s plans to return to Lawrence, said Bart Hastert, a co-owner of two Schlotzsky’s locations in Olathe and Overland Park.

Hastert said he hasn’t yet signed a deal for the Wakarusa Drive site that formerly housed KFC. Hastert said that location along with locations at 23rd and Iowa and in the Bauer Farm development near Sixth and Wakarusa are under consideration.

Hastert said his company already has signed a deal with Schlotzsky’s corpo-

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

rate offices to open three to five new stores in the near future.

“Lawrence is definitely in our sights,” he said.

Schlotzsky’s probably has been gone from Lawrence for about five years, and there’s been a major change since then.

The chain has signed deals with dessert companies Cinnabon and Carvel ice cream to open ministores inside Schlotzsky’s.

Hastert said the Lawrence store definitely would have the Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, and he said he would like to win corporate approval to have an ice cream brand in the store as well.

As for what Schlotzsky’s is offering these days, it is still a shop known for its sandwiches. The restaurant’s calling card has been a sandwich it calls The Original, which features multiple cheeses, salamis, ham, marinated black olives, a signature dressing and a toasted sourdough bun. That’s the sandwich that got the chain started 40 years ago as a small shop in Austin.

Today, the menu also includes about two dozen other sandwiches all served on either sourdough, rye, jalapeño cheese or other types of fresh-baked buns. The restaurant also includes soups, salads, artisan flatbreads and several

flavors of 10-inch pizzas on its menu.

Hastert said he hopes to sign a deal for a Lawrence location soon. His company already has signed a deal to open a new store in Liberty, Mo., and he wants Lawrence to be his next location.

“We’re on a time crunch already,” said Hastert, who did not own the previous Lawrence franchise. “I think folks will welcome us back to town.”

White House visit A Lawrence executive is heading to the White House for a special business event. Ben Smith, the director of social and emerging media for Lawrence-based Callahan Creek, will be representing Kansas at a White House event related to the National Week of Making.

The event is one that highlights the power of teaching and fostering innovation both in education and the business community. Smith has been recognized both locally and nationally for his efforts to empower creative thinking, including his work to create ConfabuLarryum, Lawrence’s Festival of Making and Creativity. The event is held in conjunction with the Lawrence school district, which uses it to showcase innovative projects produced by students.

Smith will be at the White House on Friday for a special meeting of individuals around the country who are involved in the maker movement. Smith also will be in Washington, D.C., for the National Maker Fair set for Saturday.

Officers may have shot club patrons Arek Sarkissian Naples Daily News

ORLANDO Omar Mateen, the killer who claimed allegiance to the Islamic State, hid in a bathroom at Pulse, a gay nightclub where he had slaughtered scores of people. A wall of cinder block separated him from a team of police officers outside. For three hours early Sunday morning, crisis negotiators tried to end the siege.

Then Mateen — whom police said had acted “cool and calm” during discussions — talked about killing more people. Alarmed, police placed an explosive device against the wall and detonated it. The breach failed; the hole wasn’t large enough to allow for a successful rescue.

A cop rammed his Bearcat armored vehicle through the club wall. Hostages poured out. So did Mateen, guns blazing.

With quick efficiency, officers shot him dead.

So ended the worst armed massacre in American history: 49 victims were killed and 53 wounded.

Monday, Orlando Police Chief John Mina and other law enforcement officers offered new details about the shooting, including the possibility that some victims may have been killed by officers trying to save them.

“I will say this, that’s all part of the investigation,” Mina said. “But I will say when our SWAT officers, about eight or nine officers, opened fire, the backdrop was a concrete wall, and they were being fired upon.”

A law enforcement source close to the investigation who asked not to be named said a crowd of up to 300 people and the complex layout of the dance club may have resulted in some patrons being struck by gunfire from officers.

Mina said his decision to enter the club with such violence was tough. “It was a hard decision to make, but it was the right decision,” he said. “Our No. 1 priority is on saving lives, and it was the right decision to make.”

Local, federal and state investigators continued to process the scene Monday from a collection of law enforcement mobile command units that lined South Orange in downtown Orlando. Authorities determined Mateen, 29, walked up to the club at 2:02 a.m. armed with an AR-15 rifle and a Glock handgun.

ORLANDO MASSACRE

WHAT WE KNOW A SAFE SPACE DEVASTATED Just before 2:02 a.m. Sunday, hundreds were gathered at the Pulse nightclub to celebrate Latin night.

In the next three hours, the club would become the location of the deadliest shooting attack in American history.

Omar Mateen, who pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, shot and killed 49 people and wounded dozens more before he was killed by law enforcement.

SHOOTER HAD BEEN SEEN AT THE CLUB BEFORE Several regulars at the nightclub told the Orlando Sentinel that they had seen Omar Mateen there before.

One of them, Kevin West, said Mateen messaged him on

and off for a year before the shooting, using the gay chat and dating app Jack’d. West said he was dropping off a friend at the club around 1 a.m.

Sunday when he noticed Mateen, whom he knew by sight, crossing the street wearing a dark cap and carrying a cellphone.

“He walked directly past me. I said, ‘Hey,’ and he turned and said, ‘Hey,’ ” and nodded his head, West said. “I could tell by the eyes.”

Another patron, Ty Smith said he saw Mateen at the club at least a dozen times.

“Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,” Smith said.

“We didn’t really talk to him a

lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times.”

West said that as soon as he saw released photos of Mateen after the shooting, he went straight to police and turned over his phone and Jack’d log-in information to the FBI.

FBI: GUNMAN HAD NO FOREIGN DIRECTION FBI Director James Comey said Monday that there was no evidence to indicate that Mateen was directed by an outside terror organization, nor was he part of an international terror network.

authorities said he bought days before he set out to attack the nightclub, legal experts say.

Federal authorities say Mateen was armed with a assault weapon and a Glock handgun that he purchased from a Florida gun store on consecutive days about a week before the rampage. A handgun that authorities believe Mateen may have used in his job as a security guard was also found by law enforcement officials in his car, but was not used in the mass shooting.

Mateen had twice previously been on the FBI’s radar on suspicions of terrorist activity, but was not on the FBI’s large terror watch list database at the time of Sunday’s attack.

Despite his past brushes with the FBI, the law allowed for Mateen, who worked as an armed security guard, to legally purchase weapons.

Membership or suspicion of membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit a person from possessing firearms or explosives under current federal law, but the FBI is notified when a firearm or explosives background check involves an individual on the terrorist watchlist, according to the Government Accountability Office. Suspected terrorists purchased more than 2,000 weapons between 2004 and 2014, according to the GAO.

GOP ‘bump’ after terrorism may elude Trump Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

The Orlando shooting is scrambling 2016 presidential election politics, but not necessarily in the way terrorism worries normally do.

Americans historically have favored Republicans to deal with terrorism threats, and Donald Trump is seeking to extend his party’s traditional advantage.

The real estate mogul is doubling down on a proposed temporary ban on Muslims and escalating his attacks on President Obama, even speculating that perhaps Obama doesn’t want to stop terrorism.

investigating an underage drinker outside when he heard gunshots inside, according to the law enforcement source. The off-duty officer ran inside the club and traded gunfire with Mateen, backed up soon by three other police officers, the source said.

The officers fired at Mateen, who retreated into a bathroom toward the rear of the club.

“Those additional officers made entry while the suspect was shooting,” Mina said. “They forced him to stop shooting and retreat to the bathroom where we believe he had

Alternatively, Hillary Clinton, who has called for national unity in the response to latest attack, potentially neutralized one of the GOP’s s biggest talking points in criticizing the Obama administration by using the words “radical Islamism.”

“By using that phrase she’s not going to be boxed in the way President Obama let himself be boxed in,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. In a Monday speech in Cleveland, Clinton also strongly reprimanded the Saudis and Kuwaitis for funding terrorism, a sign of her willingness to strike a more hawkish tone than she did in the Democratic primary.

Her response, particularly when compared with Trump’s, may blunt any potential political advantage the presumptive GOP nominee may have otherwise gained, analysts said. The renewed emphasis on terrorism also highlights her record as the nation’s former top diplomat and as a U.S. senator from New York following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Trump, meanwhile, posted on Twitter that he appreciated “the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”

“Nobody plays a good hand worse than Donald Trump,” said Sabato. “The fact that he would tweet out how this tragedy benefit-

ed him,” said Sabato, “it just tells you he has no real sense of what a president does and how a president does it,” he said.

The combination of Trump’s response and Clinton’s decision to distance herself from Obama may neutralize the Republican Party’s traditional advantage in the aftermath of terrorism, said John Hudak at the Brookings Institution.

“This issue could cut both ways for the Trump campaign,” he said.

“Some will buy into his aggressive rhetoric on the issue favoring Muslim bans. For others, fear, worry and skepticism about Trump’s seriousness and readiness to lead may push people away from him.”

several hostages.”

Mateen called 911 three times from a bathroom he shared with hostages and pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State, a terrorist group also known as ISIL or ISIS. He called dispatchers twice and hung up before they called him back, the source said.

“He was in one bathroom fortified with hostages,” Mina said.

“There were people in the opposing bathroom, about 15 or 20 people. And the details are unknown, they’re part of the investigation.”

Orlando police crisis negotiators were called to the club and spoke with Mateen three times. He remained calm during the talks, but he made clear that his plan was to kill more people, Minas said.

“Based off statements made by the suspect and based on informa-

tion we received by the suspect and from the hostages and the people inside,” Mina said, “we believe further loss of life was imminent. I made the decision to commence the rescue operation and do the explosive breach.”

A SWAT team failed to topple the exterior wall leading to the bathroom that held 15 to 20 people, so Mina made the call to use the Bearcat.

Officers wore combat-grade body armor and helmets as they rammed the bathroom wall, creating a small hole — about 3 feet wide and 2 feet off the ground — so the captives could escape.

“We were able to rescue dozens and dozens of people who came out of that wall,” Mina said. “The suspect came out of that hole himself with a handgun and a long gun and engaged in a gunbattle with of-

ficers where he was ultimately killed.”

Mateen wielded an AR-15 and a semiautomatic handgun he had bought from a Port St. Lucie gun shop a week ago. He fired at officers, striking one of them in his helmet before he was shot several times and died.

Dozens of bullet holes dotted the exterior concrete wall, evidence of the shootout that included dozens of rounds fired by officers.

The last exchange of gunfire Mateen had with Orlando police and Orange County sheriff’s deputies occurred at 5 a.m. and ended a three-hour standoff.

Orlando officers walked into the nightclub and found lifeless club patrons strewn about a bar and lounge area. More bodies were found in a nearby bathroom.

TRUMP ACCUSED OF DESTROYING EMAIL EVIDENCE IN 2006 LAWSUIT Case reveals company kept no records for five years Paul Singer @singernews USA TODAY

In 2006, when a judge ordered Donald Trump’s casino operation to hand over several years’ worth of emails, the answer surprised him: The Trump Organization routinely erased emails and had no records from 1996 to 2001.

The defendants in a case that Trump brought said this amounted to destruction of evidence, a charge never resolved.

At that time, a Trump IT director testified that until 2001, executives in Trump Tower relied on personal email accounts using dial-up Internet services, even though Trump had launched a high-speed Internet provider in 1998 and announced he would wire his whole building with it.

Another said Trump had no routine process for preserving emails before 2005.

Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld was stunned. “He has a house up in Palm Beach County listed for $125 million, but he doesn’t keep emails. That’s a tough one,” he said, according to transcripts obtained by USA TODAY. “If somebody starts to put forth as a fact something that doesn’t make any sense to me and causes me to have a concern about their credibility in the discovery process, that’s not a good direction to go, and I am really having a hard time with this.”

Now, a decade later, Trump regularly hammers Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for using her own email server while she was secretary of State and deleting emails from that server that she deemed to be private. In a war of tweets with Clinton a week ago, Trump wrote, “And where are your 33,000 emails that you deleted?” On the CBS News program Face the Nation earlier this

“If somebody starts to put forth as a fact something that doesn’t make any sense to me and causes me to have a concern about their credibility in the discovery process, that’s not a good direction to go, and I am really having a hard time with this.”

Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld

month, Trump said, “What she did is a criminal situation. She wasn’t supposed to do that with the server and the emails.”

A USA TODAY Network analysis found that Trump has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades. In this case, while Trump was not accused of doing anything illegal at the time and he clearly was not a public official, there still are fascinating parallels between the events of 2006 and the current campaign.

The Trump campaign and his lawyers have not responded to requests for comment on this story.

The preservation of email was a central point of contention in the suit filed in 2004 by Trump’s publicly traded casino company, called Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts, against a former employee, Richard Fields. The gist of the

IN BRIEF BATH TIME FOR BUFFALOES

TIMOTHY A. CLARY, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald J. Trump, speaking Monday at the Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H., had his own email issues in the past.

Trump company’s suit in a Broward County, Fla., court was that while he was working with Trump, Fields had developed the idea of working with the Seminole Tribe in Florida to build a casino, then told Trump the idea wasn’t going to fly. Fields then left Trump’s employ at the end of the 1990s and struck the same deal with other partners.

Trump sued Fields and the companies he had ended up working with on a Seminole casino, arguing that Trump Hotels should be entitled to all profits the casinos produced, which were expected at the time to be more than $1 billion over 10 years.

The companies Trump sued argued that if it was true that Trump Hotels had been pursuing a similar deal with the tribe, there would be emails and other records documenting their dis-

cussions. The judge agreed and ordered Trump Hotels to hand over emails, financial documents, meeting calendars and the like.

In a March 2006 hearing, the Trump company’s lawyer, Robert Borrello, said Trump didn’t use email himself and his company didn’t retain emails. “My understanding from speaking to my client is that there are no emails,” Borrello said, according to a transcript obtained by USA TODAY. “They don’t keep emails from the time period from ’96 until within the last couple of years, when the organization instituted retention procedures for keeping emails electronically.”

Streitfeld, who has since retired, told USA TODAY he remembers the case. “I was a bit incredulous that an organization of that significance doesn’t do

email,” Streitfeld said. “I had heard a number of things in 24 years on the bench, but that stuck in my mind.”

Trump certainly had access to high-tech communications. In 1998, he created a tech venture called Trump New Media, and its first project was “to wire his luxury high-rise Trump Tower for blazing-fast Internet access and video-on-demand service,” the New York Daily News reported.

Network World reported in October 1998 on the efforts of Trump’s Louisiana-based Internet service provider to provide “bursting” capability for “business residents at Trump Towers in New York” to be able to “grab extra bandwidth from time to time.”

But Trump’s own company apparently was not using it.

In 1996, some Trump executives set up email accounts “using dial-up connections with various email providers such as AOL, Compuserve,” said Nikos Vroulis, the director of networks and systems for Trump’s casino operations in a March 2006 affidavit.

“In the late 1990s, (1998-99 approximately), we switched dialup accounts to different providers. In 2001 we acquired a server … and gradually moved employees away from using their dialups.” Vroulis added that “it was not until the summer of 2003 that we began to journal and save emails on the server.”

Before that, Trump’s casino company destroyed old computers and emails that might have been stored on them. “There was no uniform procedure for migration of data from an obsolete work station to a replacement work station,” Vroulis said.

Trumps’s companies had no document retention policy, witnesses testified. “Every year everything was just wiped out and deleted from pretty much everybody’s computers,” said Bob Pickus, general counsel of the casino unit at the time, according to court records.

The case was settled before the judge ruled on whether Trump’s company had destroyed evidence.

Shooting puts spotlight on gay rights, gun legislation Equality Act, gun-sales bill face obstacles on the Hill Erin Kelly and Donovan Slack USA TODAY

Democrats and their allies are hoping Sunday’s massacre in Orlando generates momentum in Congress to pass legislation protecting gay rights and barring gun sales to suspected terrorists.

Gay-rights groups and their supporters in Congress are reigniting their push for passage of the Equality Act, a bill to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation. The legislation is stuck in the House and Senate judiciary committees.

“Passing the Equality Act is the most important signal we can send as a country that we don’t tolerate discrimination,” said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., an openly gay congressman who is co-sponsoring the bill. “If we want to signal to LGBT Americans that discrimination is wrong, then that’s the bill that does it.”

Meanwhile, Democratic senators said Monday that they will seek in the coming days to take up legislation drafted by California.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein that would ban gun sales to terror suspects.

The measure would allow the attorney general to block the sale of firearms to known or suspected terrorists if there is a “reasonable belief” the weapons may be used to carry out an attack. Convicted felons and fugitives are banned from buying guns, but suspected terrorists are not.

“How many more people have to die at the hands of a terrorist with a gun before the Senate acts?” Sen. Charles Schumer, DN.Y., said in a conference call with reporters. “I hope and pray the answer is none.”

Both bills face an uphill climb.

The Supreme Court dealt a second setback in two weeks to Puerto Rico Monday, denying its effort to restructure more than $20 billion of its mammoth $72 billion debt.

The 5-2 ruling, written by Justice Clarence Thomas, leaves the commonwealth’s financial troubles in the hands of Congress, which is working on a fix.

A Dutch woman held in Qatar for nearly three months after telling police she had been raped there was released on Monday after receiving a one-year suspended prison sentence, a Dutch diplomat said.

It wasn’t immediately clear what sentence was given to the man she accused of rape. Qatari officials repeatedly have declined to comment after her detention became public knowledge over the weekend and the state-run Qatar News Agency did not report on the verdict Monday.

cember shootings in San Bernardino, Calif., where a radicalized couple opened fire at a holiday party killing more than a dozen people. Republicans have argued there is not enough protection for a person to regain their gun rights if they are banned because of inclusion on a terror watch list.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told USA TODAY that he would oppose Feinstein’s legislation if it came up for a vote this week. He said there is no due process for people included on a terror watch list, and that the Orlando shooter wasn’t currently listed so the bill wouldn’t have prevented Sunday’s massacre.

Johnson said federal officials instead should increase engage-

ment with Muslim communities in the United States to get more, better intelligence.

“We’ve got to wipe out ISIS, deny them that territory, destroy that caliphate and then relentlessly be committed to destroying Islamic terror groups wherever they reside,” he said.

Conservative groups, including the Family Research Council, oppose the Equality Act. “It would effectively require high schools to allow boys in the girls’ locker rooms, strip elementary schools of the authority to dismiss a kindergarten teacher for transitioning from a male to a female during the course of the school year, and could force religious hospitals to provide sexchange operations and familyowned businesses to affirm such behavior,” the FRC said.

In addition to pushing for the Equality Act, Maloney said he will continue his efforts to pass legislation banning federal contractors from discriminating against gay and transgender workers. Democrats and about 40 Republicans voted last month to attach Maloney’s measure to an energy and water spending bill. However, that provision led Republicans to join Democrats in objecting to the overall bill, and it was voted down.

The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal MEMPHIS Elvis Presley’s Graceland is the most famous musical home in the MidSouth, but it’s far from alone.

A Shelby County Environmental Court order on Thursday put the deteriorating birth home of soul queen Aretha Franklin into a city receivership with an order to “abate nuisance through demolition.”

“Nobody wants to tear it down, but also it can’t stay like it’s been, without being secured or maintained, forever,” said Steve Barlow, a staff attorney for the city of Memphis and a leader of the non-profit Neighborhood Preservation Inc. The small home is on a tucked-away residential street in South Memphis, surrounded by other boarded-up properties.

Fed may signal slower rate hikes But central bank likely to stay mum on outlook for July Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

This week’s Federal Reserve meeting will likely provide little hint about the now remote possibility of a midsummer interest rate hike, economists say. But it could deliver a more sobering message: Policymakers expect slower growth and lower rates the next few years.

“Faced with continued sluggish growth, little sign of a pickup in productivity” and persistently tepid wage growth, “policymakers are likely to reassess” the longerterm path of rate increases, Morgan Stanley MICROSOFT’S LINKEDIN BUY wrote in a report.

Apple offers big updates, falls short on vision Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

Apple’s developer conference Monday presented an avalanche of evolutionary updates but no broad vision for its future.

While many tech world observers had hoped to hear CEO Tim Cook tackle hot topics such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, he instead kicked off two hours of app-focused upgrades ultimately aimed at making the company’s phones and other devices easier to use.

Cook and other senior Apple execs talked about how Siri can now be integrated into all apps, Apple Pay can be used on a Mac laptop, Apple Watch is getting faster and Apple Music has gotten a redesign. The 5,000 attendSAN FRANCISCO

ees of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference didn’t seem to mind the lack of new news, often hooting at what seemed like small improvements to staple apps.

“You’re a part of everything we do now,” Cook told a packed house at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. “We think it’s crucial that we provide the best tools so you can create the best apps.”

Cook opened the iOS10-focused session with a sober moment of silence dedicated to those who lost their lives in the gay nightclub shooting in Orlando Sunday that left 49 dead and 50 wounded out of a crowd of 350 revelers.

“Our Apple community is made up of people from all around the world with different backgrounds and we celebrate our diversity,” he said before everyone rose.

Our Apple community is made up of people from all around the world, ... and we celebrate our diversity.”

CEO Tim Cook leads the audience in a moment of silence Monday in tribute to the shooting victims at an Orlando nightclub.

As is typical with WWDC, there were no hardware announcements.

Apple stock opened at $99 Monday but dropped 1.2% through the course

of the day.

Instead, among the top highlights were a new Home app that aggregates any Web-based Internet of Things device in your

house; a Maps app that will integrate everything from restaurant booking options to summoning an Uber or Lyft ride; a new Voicemail feature that shows the message in text form; and a host of tweaks to Messages that include the ability to hand-write responses and select from predicted emojis that now appear three times bigger than before.

“Children of tomorrow will have no understanding of the English language,” joked Apple exec Craig Federighi.

Mac users who also wear an Apple Watch will experience seamless sign-in access to their devices thanks to a new authentication mode that uses the smartwatch to give the laptop or computer a green light to open without a password.

And Apple Pay can be enabled for the Mac as long as you have an iPhone nearby.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Kevin McCoy @kmccoynyc USA TODAY

Shares of gun and ammunition companies rose Monday following the weekend mass shooting tragedy in Florida.

The stock of Smith & Wesson, the Massachusetts-based manufacturer of handguns, rifles and other firearms, was $1.47, or 6.9%, higher to close at $22.88. Shares of Connecticut-based Sturm, Ruger, a leading maker of commercial sporting market firearms, rose $4.88, or 8.5% to $62.29.

Vista Outdoor — a company with headquarters in Utah that designs, develops and manufactures ammunition, long guns and related equipment — rallied but not as sharply, rising 9 cents, or 0.2%, to close at $47.13.

The incident was the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

Stocks of gun companies typically rise after shooting attacks amid anticipation that the incidents could prompt some Americans to buy weapons for self-protection. Additionally, calls for gun control could spark firearm purchases by buyers anticipating potential sale restrictions on handguns and rifles.

Just last week gunmakers’ stocks suffered a setback when the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System reported 1.87 million firearm background checks during May, a 12.9% drop compared with April.

Once-red-hot burrito chain hopes for a 360 Q: Can Chipotle come back into favor?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The burrito chain has been struggling since the outbreak of food safety concerns last year. The stock still hasn’t recovered and analysts are skeptical it can anytime soon.

Shares of Chipotle are down 18% this year so far, reflecting a 35% decline from a year ago. The stock closed Monday at $394, barely above its lowest point the past 12 months.

Investors who thought this once-redhot stock could regain its spice have been proven wrong so far. Analysts aren’t expecting things to improve in the upcoming quarter, either. Chipotle’s adjusted profit in the current quarter is expected to plummet 78% to 98 cents a share, says S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s better than losing money, as the company did in the first quarter, but it’s hardly a sign of recovery.

All told, adjusted profit is likely to drop 70% this year to $4.61 a share and not start to recover until fiscal 2017. Adjusted profit isn’t likely to surpass 2015’s levels until fiscal 2018.

Meanwhile, the stock is still 90% pricier than the market. Chipotle also still needs to find ways to woo back customers even while modifying its cooking procedures to prevent problems.

Analysts rate the stock a “hold” on average, but say it could be worth $463 in 18 months.

Is Twitter next? Shares up as investors speculate on buyout Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Twitter shares surged 4% on hopes Microsoft’s $26.2 billion planned acquisition of LinkedIn makes the sale of the struggling social media service more likely.

Microsoft said Monday it would buy the professional networking service for $196 a share — a 50% premium — in its biggest acquisition to date.

Twitter shares were down before Microsoft’s announcement.

Investors are wondering if the

JUSTIN SULLIVAN, GETTY IMAGES

LinkedIn deal will lead to a takeover wave. If so, Twitter would be a prime target.

For years people have speculated Google and Facebook (even Microsoft) might swoop in and

buy Twitter.

With co-founder Jack Dorsey back at the helm, Twitter is under pressure to revive stagnating user growth, yet the company continues to have a revolving door for Twitter product executives, prompting SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Robert Peck to speculate last week that a sale had become more likely.

“We note that if the current trend of meager user and engagement growth remains, we think it’s inevitable that Twitter will need to pursue M&A alternatives as has been discussed in the media for some time,” Peck wrote

in a research note.

At last month’s annual shareholder meeting, Dorsey shrugged off talk of an acquisition.

“The board has a fiduciary duty, but we are focused on what is before us” in building Twitter and its audience, he said.

Yet Twitter finds itself at a critical moment. Its shares are down nearly 40% year to date and down about 60% since Dick Costolo stepped down as CEO last July. First-quarter results did not help. Revenue came in lighter than Wall Street estimates, and second-quarter revenue guidance fell far short of expectations.

Making matters even worse for the beleaguered company, user growth barely crept up.

“The takeout valuation certainly bodes well for the rest of the tech group and prospects of takeouts, calling out Twitter, GrubHub and GoDaddy from our coverage,” James Cakmak, an analyst with Monness, Crespi, Hardt & Co., wrote in a research note on Monday following the Microsoft news.

“However, we don’t necessary think transactions will increase materially.”

Twitter closed up 4% to $14.55 on Monday.

TELEVISION

EMMY DREAM BALLOT So. Much. TV. Over the years, Emmy voters have frequently — and justifiably — been chastised for not watching enough TV. But these days, they have a built-in excuse: No one who isn’t being paid to do so could possibly keep track of even half of today’s output.

Luckily, USA TODAY television critic Robert Bianco just happens to know someone who is paid to watch TV. So with the Emmy nomination ballots arriving this week, he offers this handy wish-list guide to filling them out.

DRAMA SERIES

Game of Thrones (HBO) Mr. Robot (USA) Better Call Saul (AMC) Downton Abbey (PBS) Orange Is the New Black (Netflix) The Americans (FX) The Good Wife (CBS)

For my own peace of mind, I’m just going to assume this is the year Emmy voters finally recognize how good The Americans is and remember how good The Good Wife always has been. And it can’t hurt that The Americans’ much-praised season ended just as voting was about to begin.

Right? Please?

DRAMA ACTOR

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Rami Malek (Mr. Robot) Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) Bobby Cannavale (Vinyl) Aaron Paul (The Path) Matthew Rhys (The Americans) Damian Lewis (Billions)

Yes, I know that in all likelihood Kevin Spacey and (less certainly) Paul Giamatti are going to claim spaces on that list for House of Cards and Billions. But this is a wish list. I’m allowed to wish.

DRAMA ACTRESS

Viola Davis (How to Get Away With Murder) Taraji P. Henson (Empire) Julianna Margulies (The Good Wife) Keri Russell (The Americans) Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey) Claire Danes (Homeland)

PATRICK HARBRON, FX

COMEDY SERIES

Transparent (Amazon) Veep (HBO) Modern Family (ABC) Silicon Valley (HBO) Black-ish (ABC) Mom (CBS) Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (CW)

CHUCK HODES, FOX

If you doubt this was a good year for comedy, just consider how many strong contenders there are. Some of the cuts are truly painful, with Netflix’s Master of None chief among them. Now, let’s hope Emmy voters’ streaming and cable biases don’t lead them to ignore Black-ish, Mom and Crazy — three of the most provocative shows on TV.

COMEDY ACTOR

Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent) Aziz Ansari (Master of None) Anthony Anderson (Black-ish) Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) Rob Lowe (The Grinder) Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley)

It wasn’t a great season for How to Get Away With Murder or Empire, but the stars shouldn’t be punished for that. It was a great season for The Good Wife and The Americans, and the stars, who helped make it so, should be rewarded. No one said Emmy voting wasn’t complicated.

The Americans and star Keri Russell (with Holly Taylor) deserve Emmy nods. So do Mr. Robot and star Rami Malek and Empire’s Taraji P. Henson.

If voters don’t nominate Master of None, they can at least partially make it up to Ansari with a nomination here. And maybe they can offer Lowe a little consolation for The Grinder’s cancellation.

COMEDY ACTRESS

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie) Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish) Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) Martha Plimpton (The Real O’Neals)

Is Louis-Dreyfus ever going to lose in this category? That’s not an insult to the rest of a fine field — it’s just an acknowledgment of how amazing she continues to be in Veep.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus isn’t just phoning it in as Selina Meyer in Veep.

‘Barkskins’ has Earth-shattering message Annie Proulx’s epic novel spans centuries GETTY IMAGES

Boy George is 55. Kevin McHale is 28. Lucy Hale is 27.

Charles Finch

Special for USA TODAY

We often call long novels “ambitious.”

Sometimes they’re just long, though.

(When a story goes on forever at a dinner party, the word everyone uses on the ride home is generally a different one: boring.)

Maybe the ambition is ours: If we’re going to commit to the time it demands, we want a big novel to give us the whole intricate sweep of life, life’s recursions, life’s mysteries. Ultimately, perhaps even a glimpse of life’s meaning.

Barkskins (Scribner, 713 pp., eeeg out of four), the new novel by Annie Proulx, is very long and, astonishingly, actually ambitious. It tracks the gradual but ceaseless ravaging of the forests of the New World from 1693 to 2013; its aim is nothing less than a reckoning with the human role in the health of the planet.

after some years as an unscrupulous furrier. What follows is the tale of the dynasties these men establish, with each generation taking something irreplaceable from Earth.

This could be appallingly didactic, but Barkskins is miles from that. That’s because its characters are never one-dimensional — even the worst of them are complex, their greed often driven by insecurity and loss, their individual lives too brief for them to apprehend the full scope of their collective destructiveness. Nobody is at fault; everybody is at fault. The cigarette companies are full of wonderful mothers and fathers.

It succeeds.

her novels are genuinely weak.

But Barkskins is masterful, full of an urgent, tense lyricism, its plotting beautifully unexpected, its biographical narratives flowing into one another like the seasons. Proulx is 80, and it’s amazing to behold an author of her age move not toward a smaller scale but a larger one, corralling all of her powers in a vast synthesis. It’s not that Barkskins is perfect — some of the later eras she describes feel rushed and sketchy — but that it’s so consistently vital.

And ambitious. There have been numerous novels with this kind of chronological scope, but they’re almost always primarily historical in purpose, such as James Michener’s and Edward Rutherfurd’s. Proulx, by contrast, has a whole competing host of ethical, conceptual, historical and literary concerns: she wants to de-emphasize the human point of view, draw our eyes out to nature, even as she writes her saga through individual people. The result is a marvel. This is a long novel worth your time.

Moving someplace cooler and sipping water will typically help resolve these symptoms fairly quickly.

However, serious overexposure to the heat can also cause heat stroke. If a patient becomes unresponsive or loses consciousness, it’s time to call 911, Drees said. At that danger point, a patient might also stop sweating and their skin will become dry — another sign to seek medical help immediately.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department suggests checking on friends or neighbors, and especially the elderly. “Social isolation is one of the main risk factors for heat-related illness and death,” the department advised in a civic alert.

The very young and the very old are most susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, Drees said, partially because of sensory abilities. The elderly have lost some of those abilities, and kids outside having fun don’t sense the heat — that means it’s especially important for those in the middle to keep an eye on them and mind their safety.

One of the first roles of the microbiome that was understood was the layer of protection it provides from “bad bugs.” The classic example of this is the development of Clostridium difficile infection causing severe Guerin diarrhea after antibiotic exposure. The antibiotics kill the “good bacteria,” leaving the colon vulnerable to growth of C. difficile and subsequent production of a toxin that damages the colon.

The C. difficile infection can be treated with certain antibiotics, but sometimes they aren’t effective. In these cases, patients are often cured with a Gut Microbiota Transplant, a procedure in which good bacteria are taken from the colon of a healthy donor and placed in the gut of the patient, thus replenishing that person’s Please see GUT, page 2C

Partnership between law enforcement, health community proves a cause for celebration

By Jeff Burkhead Special to the Journal-World

For as long as anyone can remember, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and law enforcement have had a working relationship.

Since the early 2000s, that relationship has changed. For the better.

“I see it as a partnership,” said Amber Rhoden of the Lawrence Police Department. “We want to understand what they do, and they want to understand what we do and why we do it. Everybody is like, ‘Let’s break down the walls and move forward.’”

Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern has been among those instrumental in breaking down those walls.

“We’re good partners,” McGovern said. “Not only on the corrections side, but on the operations and patrol side. Bert Nash therapists have come in and done support groups after we’ve had a major incident, or officers going through a crisis can reach out to them. Bert Nash is a valuable asset.”

To celebrate that partnership, Bert Nash recognized the mental health efforts of all local law enforcement agencies with the Pioneer Award, presented at the Center’s annual Pioneer Celebration on April 18.

“We are successful in this community because of our partnerships,” Please see PARTNERS, page 2C

Report: Almost 1 in 10 U.S. women morbidly obese, and 1 in 20 men The Associated Press

How do government agencies, private foundations, industry groups and professional societies squander hundreds of millions of dollars? By trying to fight America’s obesity epidemic.

Two new studies show that the best efforts of all these players — as well as schools, churches and individual health care providers — have largely failed to keep most Americans from getting fatter.

One report finds that 35 percent of men and 40 percent of women were obese as of 2014, the most recent year for which data were available. The other says that 17 percent of children and teens were obese as well, including nearly 6 percent who were morbidly obese.

Both studies appear in Tuesday’s edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

“The news is neither good nor surprising,” two of the journal’s top editors wrote in a pointed editorial. Still, the pair wrote, the findings serve as a powerful reminder of “the unrelenting challenge of obesity.”

Both studies are based on data collected as part

said David Johnson, the Center’s CEO. “One of the ones that I’m proudest of is our partnership with Lawrence and Douglas County law enforcement. Our partnership really allows both us and law enforcement to do what we do best to the benefit of the people who we are serving.”

McGovern, McGovern who sits on the Bert Nash Governing Board of Directors, said cooperation and communication between Bert Nash and local law enforcement agencies is a win-win for all parties.

“Bert Nash is an integral part of what we all do,” McGovern said.

“And we appreciate all that they do.”

Bert Nash provides mental health training to law enforcement as part of a training program called Crisis Intervention Team, which equips officers with skills for

of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, an ongoing project from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Year after year, trained professionals measure the height and weight of thousands of volunteers from around the country.

Those measurements are used to compute body mass index, an imperfect but useful measure of health that is highly correlated with fatness.

A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered “normal.” People in the 25 to 29.9 range are classified as “overweight,” and anyone above 30 is “obese.”

Based on data from 2,638 men and 2,817 women, researchers from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics calculated that 38 percent of American adults were obese as of 2014, up from 34 percent in 2006. The prevalence of obesity increased among women during that period, but not men.

The odds of being obese fluctuated with age. The researchers found that 41 percent of adults in their 40s and 50s were obese, compared with 34 percent of adults in their 20s and 30s and 39 percent of adults ages 60 and older.

There were also differences based on race and ethnicity. At one end of the spectrum were Asian Americans, 13 percent of whom were obese. At the other end were African Americans, 48 percent of whom were obese. In between were Latinos (43 percent) and whites (36 percent).

In another group of calculations, the researchers determined that 5.5 percent of men and 9.9 percent of women were morbidly obese, with a BMI over 40.

The definitions are different for children and teens. Those who have a BMI at or above the 95th percentile for kids of the same age and gender on the CDC’s growth charts are considered obese; if their BMI is at least 20 percent higher than that cut-off, they are counted as morbidly obese.

The younger the child, the lower the risk of obesity, according to a second study by the same group of researchers and two additional CDC colleagues. For instance, 9 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 5 were obese, compared with 18 percent of kids between the ages of 6 and 11 and 21 percent of teens ages 12 to 19.

intervening with people who are experiencing a mental health crisis. As part of that training, law enforcement personnel go through an eighthour class called Mental Health First Aid, which is sort of a mental health version of CPR. In 2008, Bert Nash was one of seven pilot sites in the nation that began offering Mental Health First Aid training.

Rhoden of the Lawrence Police Department is chairwoman of the local Crisis Intervention Team Council and works closely with Bert Nash staff on coordinating the training curriculum.

“I think it’s great that our department champions mental health training from the get-go,” Rhoden said. “I honestly believe having that training upfront helps. We’re the first responders, so teaching officers that we can help people with mental illness is huge.”

Rhoden has a passion for CIT training.

“While we’re not required to be therapists in blue, it is kind of what we are,” she said. “We spend a lot of time dealing with the mentally ill population. If we have a chance to divert them from the criminal justice

system, that’s our main goal.”

Another capacity in which Bert Nash works with law enforcement is through the Center’s homeless outreach team, which receives funding from the city of Lawrence. Also, since 2000, Bert Nash has had a team of therapists working with inmates at the Douglas County Jail.

“Our role is to provide mental health services to inmates who have been identified as having a mental health issue,” said Sharon Zehr, the Bert Nash jail team leader, who also oversees the Center’s homeless outreach team Bert Nash therapists are also part of the jail’s re-entry team, which helps prepare inmates for reentering the community in advance of their release.

“Where before, when we released inmates, they’d go out and then they’d come right back in. It can be a vicious cycle and clog up the system,” McGovern said.

“Now we try to take a proactive stance with identifying and working with Bert Nash.”

Yet another example of the partnership between Bert Nash and law enforcement.

Gut CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

colon with beneficial bacteria.

Gut bacteria are involved in synthesizing and metabolizing important nutrients for us, including vitamins and short chain fatty acids.

They can also produce toxic compounds depending on the types of organisms that live in our gut and what we feed them. Additionally, the interaction of the bacteria in our gut with our immune system appears to play a critical role in the development of a healthy immune system.

When there is a shift from a healthy gut microbiome to an unhealthy one, it is called “dysbiosis.” Dysbiosis is being linked in more and more studies to a wide variety of conditions and diseases including obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, liver diseases, cancer, heart disease, asthma, autoimmune diseases and neurologic diseases. It’s exciting to think the microbiome may be the common link to the development of all these “Western diseases.”

You may be wondering how you ensure your microbiome is healthy.

Unfortunately, this field of study is still too new to know what the optimal types and ratios of bacteria and other organisms are, although we do know some general guidelines.

Our diet not only provides our bodies with calories and nutrients but also feeds our bacteria.

Typical “Western” diets high in animal protein, fat, sugar and artificial sweeteners promote growth of less favorable bacteria at the expense of more favorable ones.

Conversely, diets high in plant-based foods promote a healthier

Department promotes tobacco awareness The LiveWell Lawrence Tobacco-Free Living Work Group, with support from the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, is working to educate the community about Tobacco21.

Nearly 150 municipalities and two states have raised the age to sell and/or purchase tobacco to 21. Many municipalities in the region have passed laws, with others planning to follow suit.

complement of gut bacteria.

Probiotics are another way we can encourage a healthy gut flora. Probiotic supplements and foods rich in probiotics — for example, yogurt, kefir, fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut, apple cider vinegar, etc.

— can provide a continuous source of good bacteria to colonize your gut.

No doubt there will be many fascinating studies in this field in the coming years as we continue to learn how to best care for our gut flora and how it might help prevent and possibly even cure diseases.

Dear Readers: Today is Flag Day. We promised to print some of the patriotic poems that readers have been sending in for July 4, but we thought this one would be perfect for today. The author is Audrey Bashlor.

Honor our flag of red, white and blue, remembering our war heroes brought freedom to you.

Men and women of today and years past fought with valor so our freedoms would last.

The colonials bravely fought the British redcoats; our warriors fought the Nazis and their Uboats.

Many wars have been fought through the ages filling our history books with a great many pages.

‘Uncle Buck’ reboot is cringeworthy Will the third time be the charm for “Uncle Buck” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG)? The 1989 John Hughes comedy was adapted for a 1990 CBS sitcom starring Kevin Meaney. It resurfaces tonight, starring Mike Epps in the title role.

In addition to needlessly recycling an old vehicle, “Buck” hitches it to the annoying cartoonlike sitcom style of Disney Channel efforts.

John Candy may have been a lovable goofball in John Hughes’ stylized white suburban tableaux, but as a black male character, Epps’ Buck hearkens back to some more ancient stereotypes.

He is basically cast as a lazy and irresponsible mooch, naughty but basically harmless and ineffectual, good for little more than entertaining children — when he’s not being outsmarted by them.

This “Uncle Buck” made me cringe. l Ellen Barkin (“Sea of Love”) stars as crime family matriarch Janine “Smurf” Cody in “Animal Kingdom” (8 p.m., TNT, TV-14).

Her grandson Joshua “J” Cody (Finn Cole) comes to live with her after the overdose death of his mother. This doesn’t sit entirely well with her sons, J’s notso-close uncles. Perhaps because they’re just about to pull another major heist.

It doesn’t help that the pilot jams so much story in with so little character development. OK, these folks are called “animals,” but their reaction to a death in the family and a funeral is to throw a pool party. And wouldn’t you know, the very day J arrives, the eldest son, Pope (Shawn Hatosy), gets released from prison.

Barkin, an actress of considerable talent, has little to do here but react to her rowdy crew and beg them to behave and clean up after themselves.

With the exception of Pope, who brings a weird menace and vulnerability, Smurf’s sons are nearly indistinguishable surfer thugs. Once you get beyond their well-exposed beach bodies, they’re as interesting as the background goons in “Point Break.”

You can watch the whole pilot and not be able to tell them apart.

That’s not a very good sign. l Debuting tonight, “Wrecked” (9 p.m., TBS, TVMA) uses a spoof on “Lost” as a vehicle for an absurdist ensemble comedy. Like many comedies from the YouTube era, it seems best enjoyed in two-minute dollops. The shocking but inconsequential “story” is merely a backdrop for the “bits.”

Tonight’s other highlights Auditions continue on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l As riots consume Los Angeles in 1992, O.J. Simpson isolates himself in the wealthy Brentwood neighborhood on part two of “O.J.: Made in America” (8 p.m., ESPN). Part one (6 p.m.) also airs. l

FREE STATE GIRLS SOCCER CAMP

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Kansas’ 2-deep offense, perhaps The freshman quarterback became the school’s first to throw an accurate deep ball in several years.

He showed promise, even in an 0-12 season, and needed the spring to smooth out the rough edges.

And then Ryan Willis played in a pickup basketball game and broke his wrist. Not great optics for a football program toiling in the shadows of not only several Big 12 football giants, but the basketball program across campus as well.

Willis didn’t throw anything firmer than a Nerf football during spring workouts, which created another opportunity for junior (again) Montell Cozart.

The coaches loved the way Cozart ran the offense in closed practices. And then the curtain dropped for the spring exhibition, and Cozart threw three interceptions and two others were dropped. Again, rough optics.

Neither Willis’ basketball blunder nor Cozart’s rough final Saturday of spring football will determine the starting quarterback. Second-year Kansas University coach David Beaty will base his call on what happens in the next 10 weeks. Ditto for every other position.

A stab at where the twodeep stands at this moment for the Kansas football program, listed first string/ second string: QB: Willis, 6-foot-4, 211 pounds, So., Overland Park/ Cozart, 6-2, 196, Jr., Kansas City, Mo. Willis completed 52 percent of his passes, threw nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions and averaged 5.5 yards per pass attempt.

With a little better blocking and a little more speed at receiver, those numbers will improve. If they don’t, he won’t be the quarterback for long, if, that is, he wins the job in fall camp.

Cozart, the running threat that Willis is not, completed 63 percent of his passes in his four-game, injury-shortened season, averaged 7.2 yards per pass and threw two touchdowns and one interception.

RB: Ke’aun Kinner, 5-9, 191, Sr., Little Elm, Texas/ Taylor Martin, 5-10, 200, Fort Worth, Texas.

Offense focus for FSHS

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo

FREE STATE JUNIOR EMMA PEREZ PRACTICES HER SHOT as she and other Firebirds worked on their skills during camp on Monday at FSHS.

Less than a month after a season-ending loss against Manhattan, Free State High’s girls soccer players were trying to pick up where they left off Monday.

That meant spending the first day of their weeklong team camp at FSHS working on offensive drills — almost exclusively passing — to help improve scoring.

The Firebirds only scored 16 goals in 18 games last season, ending with a 6-9-3 record. With a strong defense, they know that’s the biggest area that needs to improve if they want to reach their goal of a double-digit win total.

“Today was just passing and making sure we’re getting our heads up — really breaking it down to the basics,” senior Sabrea Platz said.

About 20 girls showed up for the morning session in their first day of camp, with a mix of varsity players, underclassmen and freshmen.

One of the big differences between team camp and practices during the regular season is the chance to work on fundamentals without worrying about game preparation.

“It’s different because we get to work with a variety of different people — new freshmen coming in,” senior Molly Bryant said. “We get to take our time and really Please see SOCCER, page 3D

Graham charms campers

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It should come as no surprise that Kansas University junior Devonté Graham, who coach Bill Self has been told by his players is “the most popular kid on campus,” charmed several hundred of Self’s basketball campers on Monday in Horejsi Center.

“How old was I when I first started playing basketball? I was 4, which is why I wear No. 4. That’s a little fun fact right there,” Graham, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound point guard from Raleigh, N.C., Please see KEEGAN, page 3D said in a Q-and-A session.

“I was good from a young age. I used to play football and basketball. I quickly figured out football wasn’t the sport once I got to high school. Seeing all those big dudes on the field … I just liked basketball way more,” he added.

Graham shared another “fun fact” regarding his superstitions.

“Before the game, I always put on left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe,” said Graham, who averaged 11.3 points off 46 percent shooting (44.1 from three), 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds his soph season for the Jayhawks (33-5). “I always eat

candy before the game. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. I eat candy, get some energy.”

Graham so far this June has been a counselor at various basketball camps while, of course, playing a lot of basketball.

“We work out eight hours a week (with coaches for eight weeks in accordance with NCAA rules). There’s weightlifting, (unsupervised pick-up games) and I go shoot by myself at nighttime. At 9:30, I go shoot an Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo hour or hour-and-a-half,” KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR GUARD DEVONTÉ Graham said.

By Shannon Ryan

Since the astonishingly unjust and insultingly lenient six-month jail sentence of a Stanford swimmer convicted of sexual assault, outrage has erupted nationwide.

Vice President Joe Biden is among the many who have weighed in with disgust toward offender Brock Turner, the sentence he received from a California judge and a culture that normalizes behavior that should be described only as rape. For advocates who speak out against the often vile reproach women receive in nationally publicized rape cases, hearing the outcry is a moment of “finally.”

Sadly, this usually isn’t the response when athletes are accused of sexual assault or domestic violence.

What’s different this time?

Is it because people feel like they know the woman, a 23-year-old who read a heartwrenching 12-page letter to her attacker at his sentencing, detailing her life-altering trauma,? Is it because Turner’s father wrote a letter that downplayed his son’s crime, referring to the assault as “20 minutes of action,” while asking the judge for leniency?

Is it because the judge’s sentence was so recklessly forgiving, focusing his empathy on the attacker rather than the victim? Is it because swimming isn’t as popular as sports such as football, basketball and baseball, in which we fanatically root for the athletes?

It’s probably all of that.

The case of Turner, who was convicted of sexually assaulting the unconscious woman behind a dumpster, comes on the heels of national disgust with the revelation that accusations against Baylor football players were systematically ignored.

Perhaps many are finally opening their eyes to the atrocities victims of sexual assault face, not only from their offenders, but also from our justice system and the public.

But we will see if there has been progress the next time an athlete from a local professional or popular college team is accused of sexual assault.

Time and again, fans typically rush to find gray areas and grasp for excuses to support their sports idols, while shaming the female accusers.

The next time this happens — and sadly it will — it’s important to remember your outrage at a flawed system.

It’s important to remember your empathy for the victim at Stanford.

It’s important we don’t pretend like Turner and his case are anomalies. Victims rarely see their perpetrators punished, and typically the public shrugs, especially if the accused is a famous athlete.

Obviously there is work to be done.

USA Swimming banned Turner from ever competing for the organization, effectively keeping him from swimming for the U.S. in the Olympics. Usually, sports leagues wring their hands worrying about what punishment might be too harsh for the accused.

The son of Brenda Tracy, who said she was gang raped by four football players at Oregon State in 1998, started an online petition to pressure the NCAA to ban athletes who commit violent offenses.

The NCAA and professional leagues should adopt this policy — and the public should support it.

Not only when an unknown athlete is the offender, but also when it’s your favorite one.

DEFENDING U.S. OPEN CHAMPION JORDAN SPIETH WALKS ONTO THE 17TH GREEN during a practice round for this year’s Open on Monday at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa.

Spieth rolls into Open ————

Oakmont will challenge defending champ Oakmont, Pa. (ap) — Jordan Spieth feels confident about his game, typical talk from most top players going into a major.

Unlike so many others at this U.S. Open, however, Spieth speaks from experience.

Not since Tiger Woods a decade ago has anyone had this kind of run in golf’s biggest events. From the time he missed the cut at Valhalla in the 2014 PGA Championship, Spieth has not finished worse than fourth in his last five majors. He won the Masters and U.S. Open, missed a playoff at the British Open by one shot, was runner-up at the PGA Championship, and he tied for second at this year’s Masters.

He made it sound Monday as though form were secondary to sheer belief.

“Is my game always (good) ... no,” he said, answering his own question before he finished it.

“The Masters this year, tee to green, I felt much worse than I did at events where I finished 25th at a tour event. But because I just felt that we were ready and that we could do it and I could draw on past experience — especially at that event — we got into contention. I willed the putts in. I couldn’t really describe it to you other than it just being kind of a mental state of being confident at the majors.”

Such streaks are rare.

In the last 60 years, only Jack Nicklaus (three times), Woods (twice) and Arnold Palmer have gone at least five straight majors in the top five. Nicklaus went seven straight majors from the 1971 PGA Championship through the 1972 British Open, while Woods’ longest stretch of top 5s was six majors

from the 1999 PGA Championship through the 2001 Masters.

He won five of those six majors.

Whether the 22-year-old Texan can extend his streak depends largely on Oakmont.

The course has lived up to its reputation as the toughest championship test in golf over the last couple of days of dry weather. Spieth was among those who predicted no one will finish the week under par, as was the case in 2007 at Oakmont when Angel Cabrera won at 5-over 285.

Rain could change that. But rain won’t make the rough shrink.

The density of the grass is as fearsome as the speed of the greens. Graeme McDowell had a bet with his caddie on Sunday in which the former U.S. Open champion would get $30 for every birdie, and he would lose $10 for every bogey. He played the back nine and lost $50.

The wind was so strong Sunday that Spieth said he would have shot somewhere around 75 or 76 at best, and he would have been happy with it.

“But today, with less wind, I thought that it was more playable,” he said. “Still extremely challenging, where par is a great score, but I thought if you hit the ball where you were looking you could have birdie opportunities on quite a few holes.

At the same time ... I’d sign for even par. I don’t think anyone is going to be in the red come 72 holes. So it will be a challenge.

But I’m looking forward to it.”

Spieth is coming off a stretch of playing four straight weeks, with one very important tournament.

He missed the cut at The Players Championship, his first

Coaches to examine NCAA selections Kansas City, Mo. — Kentucky’s John Calipari and West Virginia’s Bob Huggins are among more than a dozen coaches and administrators who have been chosen to examine the NCAA men’s basketball tournament selection system.

The National Association of Basketball Coaches announced the ad hoc committee Monday.

It will work with the NCAA in the coming weeks to discuss selection, seeding and bracketing processes.

Previous NABC committees have worked with the NCAA to adjust rules for student-athletes declaring for the NBA draft and to consider the demands placed on athletes’ time.

NABC executive director Jim Haney and former SEC commissioner Mike Slive will co-chair the committee, which also includes coaches such as

Longtime Florida AD retiring after 25 years Gainesville, Fla. — Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley drove through the baseball parking lot, turned left at the grounds crew entrance and stopped a few feet from left field.

Any closer and he would have been in the dugout.

“It’s good to be king,” Foley said Sunday as he emerged from his SUV before the Gators and Florida State played Game 2 of their NCAA super regional.

His reign is coming to an end.

One of the most successful college sports leaders in the country, Foley announced his retirement Monday after 40 years at Florida. He started as an intern long before Steve Spur-

tournament back since losing a five-shot lead on the back nine at the Masters. He lost a good chance to win in his hometown at the AT&T Byron Nelson when he shot 74 in the final round. The important week was Colonial, where Spieth birdied his last three holes to win. He started well at the Memorial until fading badly on the weekend, but that win in Texas was big for his morale.

And it eased some of the sting from Augusta.

FREE STATE GIRLS SOCCER COACH KELLY BARAH DEMONSTRATES CORRECT SHOOTING FORM for his players during camp on Monday.

think about the technical things that we need to work on.”

Along with the morning session of team camp focusing on technical skills, the Firebirds scrimmage in the afternoon and hold daily conditioning work throughout the offseason.

“I feel like we’re still in the season, and in a sense we are,” Bryant said. “If we want to get through the season successfully, we need to work throughout the whole year.”

Looking to fix their offense, the Firebirds believe it all starts with their passing and making sure their final passes puts their forwards in good positions to score.

FREE STATE COACH KELLY BARAH PREPARES TO LAUNCH a drone he uses to observe practice.

“It’s nice to see the group is eager already to go fix what we thought were mistakes from the end of the season,” Free State coach Kelly Barah said.

Platz added: “Maybe not a quick fix, but it’s solvable through us practicing. We’re all really go-

ing to work at it because that’s what we want. We want to be able to get that last ball through.”

On the defensive third of the field, the Firebirds, who lost five seniors, only allowed 19 goals last season.

They were thrilled with their defensive suc-

cess, holding some of the top teams in the state to only one goal, but plan to make sure that area improves with the offense.

“You always have to go back and fix some things that you didn’t do well and keep on doing the good things that you did,” Barah said. “We’re still doing some defensive stuff, and that’s where we want to start our passing anyways.”

Off the field, one of the biggest changes for the Firebirds, since their last game, is the emergence of new seniors and new captains.

“We just dismissed, and our captains always say, ‘Free State on three.

One, two three,’ or whatever,” Platz said. “I got to do that for the very first time. It’s crazy. High school goes by really fast.”

Graham’s goals for the summer are simple.

“I’ve got to be even more of a leader,” he said. “I was working on that last year. Especially with all the new guys and freshmen, it’s one of the big things I’ve been working on.”

Freshmen Udoka Azubuike, Josh Jackson and Mitch Lightfoot have joined junior transfer Evan Maxwell on campus for summer school.

“They (KU newcomers) ask questions and all that kind of stuff.

They don’t know where to go. The first couple weeks, you’ve always got to try and help them out,” Graham said.

“Coach is on us about it, so we’re trying to help those guys out.

“I mean, they all look pretty good. It’s a comfort thing. They are kind of timid now. They are not in shape, but good enough shape for right now. It’s definitely a new team. We’ve got a lot of new players. We’re all getting to know each other right now.” l

Brown working on list: Troy Brown, a 6-6 seniorto-be combo guard from Las Vegas Centennial High who is ranked No. 8 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, plans to announce a list of schools after the upcoming Peach Jam AAU event.

I want to be comfortable wherever I’m at, so I want to be able to enjoy everything with the school. I want to be able to have a relationship with the coaching staff on and off the court as well,” he added. l

Richards offers: Nick Richards, a 6-10 seniorto-be from The Patrick School in Elizabeth, N.J., who is ranked No. 19 by Rivals.com, has received offers from KU, Kentucky, Syracuse, UConn, Villanova, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Oklahoma and others, Zagsblog.com reports. Richards is a native of Jamaica and has only been playing organized basketball for about three years.

“He is long, athletic, moves really well down the floor and can sometimes stretch the floor with his mid-range jumper,” Zagsblog.com’s Chris Cirillo reports. l

Newman visits WKU: Former Mississippi State guard Malik Newman, who has left the SEC school after one season, visited Western Kentucky last weekend, WBKO-TV in Bowling Green, Ky., reports.

Martin is one of the few fast runners on the roster, but needs to learn how to use blockers, see holes and hit them quickly or he won’t get many carries, especially with graduate transfer Denzel Evans on the way from Arkansas.

Johnson played in all 12 games and started nine, but caught just 13 passes for 115 yards.

That’s as much a function of not being targeted often as it is anything he did or didn’t do.

LT: Clyde McCauley, 6-5, 307, So., Arlington, Texas/Jordan ShelleySmith, 6-5, 302, Sr., Waco, Texas.

This shapes up as one of the most heated battles for a starting assignment, one that could carry all the way into the final week of fall camp. The coaching staff is high on McCaulley’s future, but in just his second year out of high school, has he gained enough strength to hold off Shelley-Smith?

LG: Jayson Rhodes, 6-4, 311, Jr., Deer Park, Texas, Jr./Will Smith, 6-3, 307, Sr., Shawnee.

Rhodes worked hard at reshaping his body after seeing limited action last season as a sophomore, his first at KU after a year in junior college.

RG: Jacob Bragg, 6-4, 291, So., Nacogdoches, Texas/Hunter Saulsbury, 6-4, 305, Fr., Stillwell.

Bragg started five games last season and at first looked overmatched. His work in the weight room has made him stronger. He also can play center if the need arises. Saulsbury has a strong chance to earn a scholarship after this season.

RT: D’Andre Banks, 6-3, 310, Sr., Killeen, Texas/Larry Hughes, 6-7, 309, So., Carrolltown, Texas.

Looking more sculpted after his lone season of Div. I conditioning, Banks moves to the outside from right guard, where he started nine games. If he makes a smooth transition, that will translate to more time for the quarterback.

The stronger Hughes

becomes in the weight room the closer he’ll come to reaching his considerable potential.

WR: LaQuvionte Gonzalez, 5-10, 176, Jr., Cedar Hill, Texas/Bobby Hartzog, 5-11, 195, Jr., Houston.

Gonzalez is preseason favorite to lead the team in touchdowns. Beaty, who will call the plays this season, will find as many ways as possible to get the football into the hands of his best playmaker.

WR: Jeremiah Booker, 6-2, 202, So., College Station, Texas/Emmanuel Moore, 6-0, 190, So., Haslet, Texas.

Booker was encouraged to bulk up last season, but new receivers coach Jason Phillips puts a premium on speed, so if Booker looks leaner, don’t be alarmed. That’s the plan.

WR: Steven Sims, 5-10, 176, So., Houston/Tyler Patrick, 6-0, 177, So., The Woodlands, Texas.

Sims had 30 receptions for 349 yards as a true freshman, ranking second to Tre’ Parmalee in both categories.

ROYALS SECOND BASEMAN WHIT MERRIFIELD GETS DOUSED following a 2-1 victory over the Indians on Monday in Kansas City, Mo. Merrifield tripled, homered and scored twice.

Merrifield lifts KC past Tribe Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — It might be a good thing for Whit Merrifield that he isn’t familiar with the term “flash in the pan.”

Perhaps he’ll never have to learn it.

The 27-year-old Royals rookie hit his first career homer Monday night and helped turn three important double plays, backing a strong performance by Edinson Volquez as Kansas City beat the Cleveland Indians 2-1 to end a five-game skid against its division rival.

“I wasn’t planning on coming here and going back,” said Merrifield, who made his big-league debut last month and has gradually gone from being a super-utility player to the everyday second baseman. “You want to come here and play like you’re capable of playing.”

Alcides Escobar drove in Merrifield to provide the other run for the Royals, who have won three in a row after an eightgame skid. They also won their seventh consecutive game at Kauffman Stadium.

Volquez (6-6) walked the bases loaded in the first inning before settling down, allowing only a double to Jason Kipnis and a single to Lonnie Chisenhall. Volquez also hit a batter with a pitch and worked around an error, but ultimately kept the Indians from scoring.

“He had a great game,” Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor said.

“He had a plan, and he executed.”

Kelvin Herrera allowed a leadoff homer to Kipnis in the eighth but navigated the rest of the inning. Wade Davis pitched around a leadoff single in the ninth for his 18th save.

Carlos Carrasco (2-2) gave up both Kansas City runs and 10 hits over six innings.

“He bobbed and weaved,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“He had a lot of traffic early and for the most part he got out of it. As he got into the third and fourth innings, he started pitching more effectively.

He hung a breaking ball for the home run, but he was much better. Giving up two runs in six innings, most nights we’ll take that.”

Merrifield tripled to start the game and scored on Escobar’s single. Then

he lived up to his “Twohit Whit” moniker by driving an 0-2 pitch over the left-field wall with two outs in the fourth.

He was greeted at the dugout by Royals catcher Salvador Perez, who playfully doffed his helmet.

“This kid is not a flash in the pan. His swing works here,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He just really gives you good at-bats.”

Good fielding, too.

Merrifield has played third base and in the outfield, but has been at his best at second base.

One of his double plays Monday night ended the eighth and preserved a 2-1 lead.

The Indians had plenty of opportunities, even after Chisenhall grounded out to leave the bases full in the first inning. Kipnis was left standing on second in the third, and the Indians left runners at the corners in the fourth when Rajai Davis grounded out to end the inning.

Yan Gomes squandered another chance by grounding into an inningending double play in the sixth, and Jose Ramirez did likewise when he grounded to Merrifield in the eighth.

CLEVELAND FORWARD LEBRON JAMES, CENTER, FALLS next to Golden State guard Klay Thompson during the second half of the Cavaliers’ 112-97 victory in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday in Oakland, Calif.

NBA FINALS

James, Irving each go for 41; Cavs stay alive Oakland, Calif. (ap) — Booed every time he touched the ball, LeBron James cut through Golden State’s defense and made layups look easy.

Dunks and three-pointers, so smooth, too.

Kyrie Irving made it look just as easy.

King James and Irving thoroughly overpowered the defending champions from every spot on the floor, and the Cavaliers are still alive to chase that elusive championship.

The unflappable, determined-as-ever James had 41 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists, Irving also scored 41 points, and Cleveland capitalized on the absence of suspended star Draymond Green, staving off NBA Finals elimination with a 112-97 victory over the Warriors in Game 5 on Monday night.

James and Irving became the first teammates to score 40 points in an NBA Finals game as the Cavaliers pulled within 3-2 and sent their best-ofseven series back to Ohio.

“We’re just happy we got another day. That’s all we can ask for,” James said. “We got another day to survive. We’re going to start preparing tonight, start preparing tomorrow and whenever Game 6 is we’ll be ready.”

Take that, haters.

James has much more to say about these playoffs before he’s done — and not with his mouth, even as the criticism came from all directions following his Game 4 tussle with Green and reaction to what he considered the Golden State forward’s inappropriate words.

James was booed again as the Cavs left the court for their locker room, but thousands of fans had already made for the exits minutes earlier.

Cleveland handed Golden State just its fourth defeat all season at sold-out Oracle Arena, denying MVP Stephen Curry and the Warriors a chance to celebrate this title with their golden-clad

“Strength In Numbers” supporters. Now, Curry and Co. must try to win on the road, just the way the Warriors did last year and also in their only other championship season out West in 1975.

The Warriors will get Green back Thursday as they try again for that repeat title.

“I kind of like our position,” coach Steve Kerr said.

Banned from the arena, Green watched from a baseball suite in the Oakland Coliseum next door, joined by Golden State general manager Bob Myers.

The All-Star forward was suspended Sunday for his fourth flagrant point of the postseason.

He was assessed a retroactive Flagrant-1 for his swipe at James in the fourth quarter of Friday’s Game 4.

Tied 61-all at halftime Monday, the Warriors missed 14 of their first 20 shots out of intermission and shot 7-for-24 in the third as James and the Cavs grabbed command by doing all of the little things on both ends of the floor — the very intangibles Golden State desperately missed without Green’s high-energy presence on both ends.

James jumped in the passing lanes to create defensive havoc, flipped passes around and got open.

Klay Thompson scored 37 points with six threepointers and Curry added 25 points with five threes, seven rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots. But as the game wore on, the Splash

Brothers shot airballs and clanked three-point tries off the front rim. The Warriors often failed to get a hand in the face of Cleveland’s shooters.

“We weren’t very good defensively. We had to play better and we didn’t,” Kerr said. “One of those nights, shots didn’t go.”

James and Irving combined to shoot 33 for 54, while the Warriors went cold and finished 36.4 percent from the field.

“I’m thankful, but at the same time we wouldn’t be in any position without both of us putting on a performance like this,” Irving said. “Our guys coming in and just trusting our leadership and doing it for four quarters — that’s what it’s about.”

Andre Iguodala had 15 points, 11 rebounds and six assists starting in place of Green, but Oakland must hold off in planning another victory parade for now.

Irving’s three-point play with 7:30 remaining put Cleveland ahead 102-92, and the Cavs kept pushing.
