Family of woman who died in jail suing county By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @conrad_swanson

Heading into the Douglas County Jail, Rachel Hammers understood that alcoholism put her health at risk. In particular, Hammers, 32, was afraid that her jail sentence

for drunken driving would send her into a fit of seizures induced by alcohol withdrawal, so she sought medical attention, according to a federal lawsuit filed in Kansas City, Kan. A doctor prescribed medication for Hammers that would lessen the withdrawal effects,

and her medical records were faxed over to the jail prior to her incarceration, the lawsuit says. The evening of May 11, 2012, after Hammers was booked into jail, she called her family and told them she would be in touch the next day so she could speak with her daughter, the

lawsuit says. The next morning guards found Hammers unresponsive and bloodied in her cell. She was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead just under an hour later. Now, Hammers’ father, Joe

Harvey, who is an oral surgeon in Lawrence, is suing Douglas County officials, employees and medical staff under contract at the jail, alleging that his daughter died needlessly and in pain. Please see HAMMERS, page 2A

Last July 4, a few minutes past 11 p.m., a caller to police dispatch reported that a group was shooting off fireworks in a parking lot near 2900 Harper St. in southeast Lawrence. When he arrived, Officer Don Hicks saw about 30 people, most of them children, shooting off “large aerial displays,” according to Hicks’ report. Melinda Henderson, a citizen riding along for the night with Hicks, described the officer creeping up the hill toward the Peaslee Center with The Kaw-Boom his patrol car’s lights Festival is slated for 4 to 11 p.m. Monday off.

Among the few grown-ups and children who stayed behind to talk to Hicks was a man holding a propane torch, standing over a cluster of illegal fireworks, the report said. So goes the Fourth of July in Lawrence and in other communities that have made fireworks illegal, where cops spend most of the day and night chasing scofflaws.

Kan. homeowners pick up larger share of tax burden By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

As school districts and other local governments in Kansas are starting to put together their budgets for next year, they’ll be thinking a lot about how much property tax it will

take to fund those budgets. But no matter what they do, it’s a certainty that homeowners will have to carry a bigger share of the overall burden than they used to, continuing a trend that has been going on for years, brought on by rising home prices, changes in

Emporia (ap) — A 2-mile stretch of the Kansas Turnpike where seven people have died in flooding will soon offer better protection for drivers. Workers are about halfway through a project to improve drainage on a stretch

between 8 and 10 miles south of Emporia. Six people — including five members of a Glenaire, Mo., family — died there in 2003 and another person drowned nearby last year. All the deaths were caused by vehicles getting caught in rising floodwaters.

The $2.7 million project between mile markers 116 and 118 will install massive box culverts that run beneath the highway, The Wichita Eagle reported. The goal is to keep rising water from flash flooding off the turnpike. Turnpike offi-

protection under the law. Although a direct cause of death could not be determined, Hammers’ autopsy report concluded that the best explanation was linked to “seizure activity.” She tested negative for both alcohol and drugs when the autopsy was performed. The lawsuit states that policies and procedures established and enforced within the jail led staff to overlook Hammers’ medical records, put her welfare in the hands of unqualified employees and allowed for a delay in providing emergency medical care. In total, the lawsuit claims six points where the defendants are at fault, including: l Deliberate indifference to serious medical need and failure to provide access to medical personnel for evaluation and treatment l Failure to train/inadequate training l Failure to supervise/ inadequate supervision l Wrongful death l Negligence l Breach of duty to third party beneficiary

and collectively, to fulfill their responsibilities. Inadequate jail policies and procedures regarding both the routine and emergency medical care of inmates “comprise the moving force behind Hammers’ death,” the lawsuit says. Those policies and procedures were created and enforced by Douglas County officials, employees and medical staff under contract, the lawsuit says. Several other elements — all stemming from the jail’s policies and procedures — are listed in the lawsuit as factors contributing to Hammers’ death: l Hammers’ medical history, which was readily available to jail and medical staff, was overlooked and her pre-existing and well-documented conditions were ignored. l Improperly trained and unqualified jail staff members were entrusted to conduct medical screenings of inmates during the booking process and assess each inmate’s overall health risk. l Improperly trained and unqualified jail and nursing staff were responsible for determining the severity of each inmate’s medical issues before contacting qualified medical staff. l Medical staff under contract at the jail were improperly staffed during night and weekend hours. Each of the factors constitutes a “deliberate indifference” to the medical needs of Hammers and the entire jail population, the lawsuit says. In addition, the collective “actions and omissions” of the defendants ultimately show a “conscious disregard” of civil rights. Attorneys for Douglas County officials, employees and contracted medical staff all declined to comment on the pending litigation or the specific allegations. Currently the Douglas County Jail houses 186 inmates and employs 94 staff members, “which includes corrections officers, deputies, IT, kitchen staff, maintenance, lobby officers, reentry staff, etc,” Dymacek said. As a part of an ongoing conversation, the county is considering moving ahead with a $30 million jail expansion, which would add 120 beds to the facility. The jail, at 3601 North 1360 Road, opened in 1999 and Hammers is the only inmate to have died in the facility, Dymacek said. Douglas County’s contract with the Visiting Nurses Association and Dr. Sale ended Thursday, said Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky. A contract for the jail’s new medical services provider, Advanced Correctional Healthcare, was approved by the Douglas County Commission on June 13, and officially began Friday.

Harvey’s lawsuit seeks $1.35 million from the county to compensate for pain and suffering caused by his daughter’s death. Douglas County officials declined to comment for this article. But through court filings, the county has denied allegations of wrongdoing. Harvey also declined to comment specifically on the lawsuit, saying only: “My family and I have great faith in our legal team.”

An early widow By her early , Rachel Hammers was a widow and a mother to three daughters and a son. Rachel married Sean Hammers in April 2010, but he died just 19 months later. Hammers was one of eight children born to Harvey and his wife, Mary Hansen Harvey. She was a graduate of both Perry-Lecompton High School and Kansas University. The lawsuit acknowledges that Hammers had a history of alcohol abuse and depression, but she had no criminal history prior to 2011, Douglas County District Court records show. But in late 2011, that would change. Court records show that in 2011, Hammers had two drunken driving offenses, and parole violations related to those offenses that led to her incarceration in the Douglas County Jail on multiple occasions. Harvey’s lawsuit alleges that jail officials should have known that Harvey’s serious alcohol abuse — she told doctors she often drank a liter of rum per day — put her at risk of serious injury if she didn’t receive the proper medication to reduce withdrawal symptoms.

Lawsuit filed Harvey’s civil suit was filed in federal court in Kansas City, Kan., in April 2015, but it has gained new vigor in recent weeks as Harvey hired new lead counsel for the case, prominent Kansas City Attorney Arthur Benson.

Backstory and timeline The following is a brief timeline of Hammers’ last months, as outlined in the lawsuit and in Douglas County District Court records: In October 2011, Hammers was arrested for her second drunken driving offense. Her first offense was five months earlier. In February 2012, Hammers pleaded guilty to both drunken driving charges, and the next month she was sentenced to serve four days in jail. That sentence was to be followed by a year of parole in lieu of six months of incarceration. Hammers’ four-day jail sentence was scheduled to begin on March 21, 2012, the lawsuit says. Weary of the impending symptoms of alcohol withdrawal as she served her sentence, she visited a doctor and received a drug prescription to alleviate any potential issues. The doctor also forwarded Hammers’ medical history and prescribed drug regimen to jail staff, the lawsuit says. As inmates are booked into the Douglas County Jail they go through a health screening process, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek wrote in an email. “They are asked a series of medical and mental health questions as well as visually observed by corrections officers or deputies,” she said in response to questions from the Journal-World. During the jail’s screening process, the booking officer indicated that Hammers did not have a health risk, the lawsuit says. Over the next four days in jail, Hammers experienced moderate and eventually severe withdrawal. On the third day she was sweating heavily and was delusional and hallucinating. While in jail, inmates experiencing medical issues can alert jail staff,

Dymacek said. The staff will then decide what steps to take. “Corrections officers and deputies are not trained to give medical examinations. They are trained in first aid and CPR,” she said. “Any inmate can alert (jail) staff of a medical need at any point and the appropriate measures are taken to take care of their medical needs.” Despite her symptoms and medical history, the lawsuit says, the nursing staff neither alerted a doctor nor monitored Hammers more closely; nor did staff adhere to her drug treatment prescribed for alcohol withdrawal. Hammers was released from jail on March 27, 2012, after serving her four-day sentence. However, she violated the terms of her parole and two warrants were issued for her arrest the next month. On April 19, 2012, Hammers checked herself into Lawrence Memorial Hospital for alcohol intoxication, depression and suicidal thoughts, once more reporting a history of seizures caused by alcohol withdrawal. Three days later, Hammers was booked back into jail. Once again the booking officer indicated she did not have a health risk. She was released from the facility eight days later. Once again, Hammers failed to meet the terms of her parole and another arrest warrant was issued. She was booked into jail for the last time on May 11, 2012. During her third and final medical screening, Hammers reported daily alcohol use, hypertension and depression. Again she was determined to have no health risk. That night Hammers spoke with her family from the jail and said she would be calling the next morning to speak with her daughter. However, the call was never made. On Saturday, May 12, 2012, at 9:50 a.m., jail staff discovered Hammers in her cell, unresponsive and bloodied, the lawsuit says. “She had no pulse and she wasn’t breathing.” Jail staff did not perform CPR on Hammers and insisted on waiting for nursing staff to arrive on the scene, the lawsuit says. In addition, responding nurses did not immediately bring a defibrillator with them to try and resuscitate Hammers. More than five minutes passed before the device was brought to the cell “which diminished the likelihood that she could be successfully resuscitated,” the lawsuit says. Hammers was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 10:46 a.m.

Estimates “ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

In a report to city officials, Marni Penrod, chief deputy Douglas County clerk, estimated the real estate assessment at nearly $885.3 million, up from $855.4 million in 2015. With personal property and a state assessment included, the total assessment for Lawrence is $928.9 million, which increased from $894.9 million in 2015. The amount the city is estimated to levy in taxes on that total is slightly more than $28.1 million, about $1.2 million less than the $29.3 million Lawrence Finance Director Bryan Kidney projected.

Even though $1 million seems like a lot, the impact to the general fund will be only about $30,000.” — Bryan Kidney, city finance director

“The revenues were just a little bit off,” Kidney said. “I’m happy with it. Even though $1 million seems like a lot, the impact to the general fund will be only about $30,000.” The decrease will change what the Lawrence Public Library receives for its mill levy. Kidney had estimated it would get $3.46 million, but the new figures show it getting $100,000 less than that.

The figures will be used to help City Manager Tom Markus create his recommended budget. The budget will be released Thursday, and Markus will present it to the City Commission on July 12. “We’re very happy and very pleased that they got us these numbers when they did, because it allows us to work on the manager’s budget a little more confidently, instead of waiting until the

“A lot of elected officials, or dignitaries.

Highland quietly admits that parades themselves are not his favorite part of campaigning.

ton as the politics of fear that overlooked the fact Democrats haven’t acted on the key issues. “The politics of fear, it turns out, have actually delivered everything we are afraid of,” she said, citing the loss of jobs to foreign countries, the 2009 Wall Street bailout, climate change and wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. “We got all that on steroids, whether it was Democrats or Republicans.” Stein presented her ideas for addressing those issues, starting with a call for a “peace initiative” of cutting by half the county’s military spending, which

“Number one, it’s very hot,” he said. “Whenever there’s a parade, it seems like the temperature always goes up” “What I do like is, when the parade is over, you visit folks you haven’t seen in a while and hear what they have to say. That’s the best part of it,” he said. “It is important. U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., also shared memories of walking in the Wamego parade when she was campaigning as State Treasurer. “Probably one of my most memorable ones, it was pouring down rain,” she said. “But the show must go on, so I threw away the umbrella and just walked because that wasn’t going to keep you from getting drenched anyway.

last minute and running around changing things,” Kidney said. Using his previous estimates, Kidney first projected a $1.3 million deficit for the city’s general fund, the main fund used for city services. On June 21, Markus said the gap had been lessened to $1.1 million after he asked city departments to trim their individual budgets. Kidney said at a June 21 budget meeting that if the assessed valuation came in much less than expected, “we’re going to be really busy coming up with how to make up the difference.” He said the valuations released Friday kept the deficit projections consistent. “We still have the gap,”

Kidney said. “If it came in higher, we wouldn’t have quite the gap we have. If we had less, then there’d be even more of a gap to take care of. The fact it came in at my estimate, there aren’t any big changes. The story didn’t change.” Markus has said he would present a balanced budget, forcing him to cut the $1.1 million from other places or suggest tax increases. On June 14, commissioners directed Markus to come up with options that include either no or “slight” tax increases. Markus said cutting costs would mean eliminating some city staff.

People who attend the parade tell you they want to see you there, and you’re obligated to go.” Campaigning on Independence Day is a classically American tradition, one that combines patriotism, celebrating the founding of an independent government, and active political campaigning for seats in that government. And it’s particularly big in Kansas where, in evennumbered years, the July Fourth celebrations come just a month before the August primaries, and only two weeks before the start of advance voting. One of the other major parades taking place this weekend is in Lenexa, in Johnson County, which parade organizer Charlie Rensing said is a major political event. “We have 25 entries that are either candidates or elected officials,” he said. “That doesn’t count city council people.” He said this year’s list includes U.S. Rep. Kevin Yoder; U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, who is up for reelection this year; state

Sen. Greg Smith; Kansas Insurance Commissioner Ken Selzer; and Attorney General Derek Schmidt. But Rensing said he’s not sure how much impact the parades have on voters themselves. “It’s obviously a big publicity opportunity for those candidates,” he said. “The spectators, I don’t think it does a whole lot for the people viewing the parade. They don’t have creative floats, just a car, or walking and waving. The average citizen is pretty jaded by politics. But it is what it is, and we let everyone in.” But in Wamego, Holle expressed a different view, especially during an election year. “It calls a little bit more attention to free government in Wamego and the leaders of our country, which is important,” she said. “People don’t think about that much in non-election years. It’s about our freedoms, our right to vote and all of that.”

Both rationalize the sacrifices they make as just part of what is expected to be competitive in their sport. How this translates during mealtime is that their chicken breasts come sans Marsala sauce and would likely never be classified as “cordon bleu.” “When you’re a football player you go to the dining hall and you eat,” Keith explains. “When you run track at an Olympic center you go to a dining hall and you eat. With (bodybuilding), it’s like, you’re eating chicken for the next five meals in a row.” “With this lifestyle, You don’t eat for pleasure, you eat to survive,” insists Tina. “If you can get that mentality, you’re golden.” In addition to a strict dietary regimen, the Williamses also begin depleting water weight from their bodies leading up to a show. Keith says each will shed about 10-12 pounds of it.

Records: Kobach takes state plane to speak at GOP events Associated Press

Wichita — At government expense, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach frequently flies in the state-owned executive aircraft to promote voter ID efforts outside of Kansas and to speak at Republican political events across the state, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The state is mired in a budget crunch, forcing legislators to slash funding for highway projects and struggling public schools to curtail bus services for students, but Kobach has spent thousands of dollars to fly more than 4,350 miles in the state’s nine-passenger Raytheon King Kobach Air 350. Using open records requests to obtain daily logs along with emails and other materials to piece together an accounting of the plane’s usage from Jan. 1, 2015, to March 24 of this year, the AP found several flights by Kobach that appeared to either offer no benefit to Kansas residents or have little connection to official duties. On some trips, Kobach scheduled state business to coincide with Republican Party functions, and his family often flew with him. Kansas has a statute that allows the governor to use the executive aircraft for personal or political travel as long as he reimburses the state, but mentions no other state agencies. The Kansas Highway Patrol, which oversees aircraft operations, says it has no specific guidelines and

The costliest trip any state official took from Jan. 1, 2015, to March 24 of this year was a 2,193-mile trek by Kobach to deliver the eulogy at the funeral for a former employee in Virginia and to speak at an archery banquet in Hutchinson. It cost $3,290.

leaves its usage up to each state agency. Kobach defended his use of the plane by saying that he’s doing it less than former Republican Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, who also flew with family members and logged about 8,700 miles over two years. He added that filling empty seats doesn’t increase the agency’s costs. Kobach said in an email that he plans to visit all 105 county election officials to observe voting equipment and voting sites and discuss implementation of voter ID and proof-ofcitizenship laws. “It is absurd to suggest that such on-site meetings in the county election offices have no benefit to the Kansas taxpayer,” Kobach said. “The notion that officials in Topeka should govern remotely without understanding the specific situation in each of the 105 counties is dead wrong.” The AP looked at all flights taken by the government officials regardless of which state agency paid for the trip. The costliest one any state official took during that 15-month period came Feb. 27, a 2,193-mile trek by Kobach to first deliver the eulogy at the funeral for a former em-

ployee, Jim Minihan in Virginia, then to speak at an archery banquet in Hutchinson before returning to Topeka. Traveling with him on the $3,290 flight was Dave DePue, a Topeka pastor whose ministry focuses on evangelizing government officials; DePue is not a state employee. Other Kobach flights included: l A Jan. 23, 2015, trip to Lincoln, Neb., to testify about the Kansas photo ID law when the Nebraska Legislature was considering the adoption of a similar measure, then to Great Bend to meet with the Barton County clerk. His wife, Heather, joined him on the $807 trip. l A May 8, 2015, trip with his daughter, Reagan, to McPherson where he was keynote speaker at a Republican luncheon. Media reports show he spoke to local Republicans about voter fraud and his efforts to get prosecutorial power. Kobach also participated in the All Schools Day Parade in his “official capacity,” his office said. The flight cost $386. l An Aug. 6, 2015, trip to Newton to meet the Harvey County clerk and local reporters before attending the county Republican Ice Cream Social. Daughters Lilly and Reagan joined him on the $360 flight. l An Aug. 8, 2015, flight to Wichita, where

he was keynote speaker at the Sedgwick County Republican Party fundraising picnic. He gave what the Wichita Eagle termed a “state of the Republican Party” speech on guns, abortion, elections, illegal immigration, taxation and courts. His office said he spoke to Sedgwick County Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman that Saturday as well. The flight cost $524. Twice, Kobach’s office was unable to book the state plane to fly to Washington, D.C., for a hearing and deposition on the lawsuit he joined in support of Brian Newby, a federal election official who without

$10.2 million to the general fund last year. But Rep. Jim Ward, a Wichita Democrat, criticized Kobach’s use of the state plane to promote voter ID policies, an action Ward says would “suppress votes as he has in Kansas.” He questioned whether state government should have paid for travel to the funeral, saying that was “straddling the line, if not crossing it.” Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley said Kobach should reimburse Kansas for trips to Republican Party events, calling claims that the political functions coincided with official business “probably just a ruse.”

public notice unilaterally changed a national voter registration form to require residents of Kansas, Georgia and Alabama to show proof of citizenship. Instead, Kobach and a staff member took commercial flights at a cost of $6,594 for airfares and other travel expenses, according to expense reports obtained by AP. Kobach contended he has made “extraordinary efforts” to reduce spending, including fewer flights and fewer employees in his office through attrition. He also noted his office is entirely funded by filing fees from regulated businesses — not taxpayer money — and his agency contributed

Fireworks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

To that end, Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said he would add two extra officers on Saturday and four extra today and Monday at a cost that he called “not insignificant.” With overtime and holiday pay, the four extra officers working July 4 will make $75 per hour. Those working on July 2 and July 3 will be compensated, with overtime pay, at $45 an hour. Adding the extra officers for the holiday weekend will cost the city a total of $4,560. Besides attempting to better enforce the 14-year-old fireworks ban, Lawrence has been trying to prevent their use by relaying messages about the hazards of fireworks: injury and fires. The increased enforcement was decided on in May, when a small group of Lawrence residents, including the commander of the local chapter of Veterans of Foreign Wars, came to the City Commission on behalf of veterans negatively affected by the random, loud explosions during the Fourth of July. The city is spreading the message that loud noises and flashing lights can be a trigger for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. It is also warning about the effects on pets and on human health, such as smoke causing complications for those with respiratory problems.

Bomb in the John Jim King, division chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, said firefighters responded to only one fireworks-related call last year. The department had one truck and two people on call at the Jaycees’ downtown fireworks display when city dispatch received a call about smoke emitting from a porta-potty in the 300 block of Locust Street in North Lawrence. Because the porta-potty was near, the overtime crew was able to get there quickly. Firefighters didn’t see flames, but when they opened the door to the toilet, smoke rolled out. It appeared that someone had set off smoke bombs inside, King said. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical has not responded to any significant fireworks-related damage in the past two years, said Fire Chief Mark Bradford. But with the recent hot, dry weather, the risk this year is greater, he said. Earlier this week, Bradford said he would monitor the weather and determine if an extra fire truck should be staffed over the Fourth of July weekend. Fireworks injuries In Kansas last year, the number of firework-related injuries decreased from 161 to 137, according to the Kansas Fire Marshal’s

Sunday, July 3, 2016

data. And in Lawrence and Douglas County over the holiday weekend, no injuries were reported from detonating fireworks. Firecrackers were the most dangerous fireworks in Kansas last year, injuring 29 people, according to 2015 data provided by the state fire marshal. The second-most-dangerous fireworks were sparklers, with 20 people injured, according to the data. Sparklers are one of a handful of novelty items Lawrence allows under the ban. The others are: party poppers, snappers, snakes and glow worms, toy caps and toy smoke devices. “With the novelties, it doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous,” Bradford said. “Even sparklers, we’re talking about 1,000 degrees of molten metal in someone’s hand, and we tell them to light it and wave it around. We can predict someone is going to get burned or hurt.” Bradford suggested igniting sparklers or other fireworks (where they’re legal) in a driveway or at the curb of a street. He’s encouraging people to read and follow the fireworks instructions, to always supervise children and to have a bucket of water nearby. Mostly, he suggested, “just use common sense.” “There’s an increase in the potential when you’re igniting explosives that you’re going to have some type of negative outcome,” Bradford said. “One thing I always talk about, I use this over and over again, is that if something is predictable, if there’s a predictable outcome, then there’s a method we can prevent it,” he continued. “It’s one of those things it’s not an ‘if’ but a ‘when.’ It’s going to be you or a neighbor injured or your house or a neighbor’s house that burns. It’s not going to surprise me when something like that happens.” Of the number of people injured last year, 63 percent were age 18 and older. Eighty percent of those injured were male.

‘Intoxicated and antagonistic’ Though Lawrence didn’t see any injuries last year, police were kept busy responding to hundreds of fireworksrelated calls from June 30 to July 6 last year. The nine citations they issued were limited, by law, to no more than $200 each. The nine police reports and citations — obtained by the Journal-World through a Kansas open records request — show that some folks can be a little testy when police catch them blowing up fireworks. Last Fourth of July, one woman was fined $50 when she eventually took responsibility for a fireworks display in her neighborhood in south Lawrence. A group she was part of had been “intoxicated and antagonistic,” according to a report

| 7A

by Officer Skyler Richardson, and the woman refused to sign the citation. In another instance, just before midnight on July 3, Officer J. Gardner spotted two men lighting fireworks in the road near 2530 Redbud Lane, according to one report. As the officer approached the men, they tried to walk away but eventually stopped when ordered to. Another officer arrived to assist as Gardner was writing out the citation and report. While waiting, one of the men made comments about “moving to Russia,” the report states, and wanting to know what (police) were going to do about “keeping ISIS from ‘hitting Lawrence.’” When one man was given the ticket, he refused to sign his name and instead wrote an expletive followed by the word “you.” The men each paid a $50 fine and $60 in court costs, according to municipal court records.

Where they’re legal Fireworks are illegal in Lawrence, but you don’t have to go far to find places where you can shoot them off. Eudora, Topeka, Kansas City, Kan., and the unincorporated parts of Douglas County and Shawnee County allow them during certain times over the holiday weekend. In unincorporated Douglas County, fireworks were allowed starting Friday and will continue to be allowed through Monday. People can shoot off fireworks from 7 a.m. to midnight today and Monday. Stands were permitted to sell fireworks in the county from Friday through Saturday. In Eudora, you can shoot fireworks through Monday until midnight, and in Topeka you can use them today from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Monday from 8 a.m. to midnight. In Kansas City, Kan., they’re allowed through Monday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. In unincorporated Shawnee County, fireworks could be ignited 8 a.m. to midnight starting June 27 and going to July 4. Besides skipping the fines, those Lawrence residents who want to ignite fireworks may want to go outside of city limits to avoid some embarrassment. When caught July 5 of last year, one man — who had been igniting mortar shells near East 15th Street and Cadet Avenue — asked Officer Matthew Howell, “Did you see that one, it was pretty good, huh?” According to Howell’s report, the man told him he “did not get to set off all of his fireworks yesterday because he was injured by a firework.” The man was cited and fined $50, with $60 in court costs.

And agricultural land, at just under $2 billion, accounts for 6.1 percent of assessed valuation. According to the most recent information from the Kansas Department of Revenue, the total taxable value of all the residential real estate in Kansas added up to $15.8 billion, or 49 percent of all assessed valuation. That’s a 30 percent increase in total value compared with 2005, and an 8 percent increase in residential property’s overall share of the pie. Over that same period, though, there has been remarkably little change in the taxable value of agricultural and commercial property, and their overall share of the tax burden has either declined or stayed flat. There are reasons for the shifting burdens. Part of it has to do with home prices, which have largely recovered from the Great Recession, growing an average 4.5 percent last year, and are expected to surpass pre-recession prices over the next year, according to the real estate website Zillow.com. “We’re continuing to see new construction, both in residential and commercial property,” Hamm said. “We’re seeing the combination of the two things. Appreciation of value and new construction are driving those two sub-classes of property.” But there are other factors of the state’s own making at work having to do with how different classes of property are valued and taxed, and actions taken by the Kansas Legislature aimed at spurring business investment and development.

Agricultural land Under the Kansas Constitution, agricultural land is treated differently from all other classes of real estate. Instead of being appraised based on its fair market value like residential and commercial property, agricultural land is appraised based on its production and income, what tax officials call its “use value.” Hamm said that to measure use value, the state looks at the average rental rates farm owners charge when they lease their land to other farm operators. Those rates differ by soil types, such as dry cropland, irrigated cropland and pasture. The state then uses an eight-year rolling average of those rental rates to set the appraised value on that land for any given year, and the eight-year number lags about two years behind the tax year in which it applies. Farm owners are then assessed, or taxed, based on 30 percent of that use value. That results in what some people have called a massive tax break for farmers, at least compared to other owners of other kinds of property, because the use value is substantially lower than the market value. Sen. Jeff Melcher, RLeawood, who serves on both the Senate tax and budget committees, has been a frequent critic of the use-value system, arguing it shifts too much of the tax burden onto suburban residential communities such as his, especially when looking at the statewide 20-mill levy that provides a significant portion of the state’s K-12 education budget. For example, in 2014, the most recent year with complete data available, the total assessed value of all agricultural land in Kansas was just under $2 billion, or only 6.1 percent of all the taxable property value in Kansas. But if farmland were taxed like any other com-

STATE

mercial or industrial land, that number would be much higher. According to a report by Kansas State University, the average market value of farmland in Kansas was $2,050 per acre, and the Department of Revenue says there are roughly 49 million acres of land in Kansas classified as agricultural. That would put the total market value of all the agricultural land in Kansas in the neighborhood of $100 billion. And if farmland were assessed like other commercial and industrial property, at 25 percent of its market value, that would put the total assessed valuation of Kansas farmland at about $25 billion. That would be more than 14 times more valuation than what is counted under the use value system, and it would make up 49 percent of the new, higher combined total of all assessed valuation in Kansas. If all of that value were added to the tax base, the state and many local governments, especially those in rural areas, could lower their property tax mill levies substantially and still raise the same amount of money. That would be a big tax cut for homeowners and businesses, at the expense of the agriculture industry. But Warren Parker, policy communications director for Kansas Farm Bureau, said there is a rational reason for treating agricultural land differently. “It is simply a more fair way to tax the property because there are only so many things that could be done with the property: grow crops,” he said. “We can’t build huge skyscrapers or strip malls, those kind of things you may be able to do in an urban area. On farm ground, legitimate farm ground, you can grow crops, so the use value of that land simply makes sense.” Hamm said that over time, the use-value method actually does reflect the economic swings in the agriculture economy because as commodity prices rise and fall, so too does the income off that land and the lease rates farmers can charge. From 2010 through 2014, commodity prices were actually growing, and that was reflected in the total assessed use value, which rose from less than $1.2 billion to an even $1.7 billion over that time. But Parker said that over the last two years, commodity prices have virtually crashed, and that will soon start showing up in lower use values for agricultural land. “We’ll see what happens in another couple of years,” he said.

Industrial machinery and equipment Another significant change that has happened in recent years was the

L awrence J ournal -W orld

FIREFIGHTER. HUSBAND. RIDES A BIKE.

Kansas Legislature’s decision in 2006, during Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ administration, to phase out the property tax on machinery and equipment used in manufacturing, which falls under the category of “personal property.” Under the Kansas Constitution, that equipment is supposed to be taxed at 25 percent of its retail price, less its depreciation over as much as seven years. At a minimum, the value is set at 20 percent of its original price. But the 2006 law exempts any new machinery and equipment purchased after the effective date of that bill, and so that property has been falling off the tax rolls ever since as businesses are constantly updating and replacing that equipment. According to Hamm, in 2005, the year before the legislative change, business machinery and equipment made up nearly 6.9 percent of all the taxable property value in Kansas. But today, it accounts for less than 2.2 percent, and it will continue to fall as older machinery and equipment are eventually replaced. “There’s another reason (tax burden shifts) have gone the way they have,” he said. “Commercial and residential real estate has filled that gap.”

Douglas County trends In some ways, Douglas County has been bucking the statewide trend, according to data from County Appraiser Steven Miles. The 2016 valuations, which were just certified in mid-June, show total residential property assessed valuations have grown 4.2 percent, to nearly $754 million since 2008. But the residential sector’s share of the overall pie has shrunk, to 60 percent of the total, down from 63 percent eight years ago, which is still a significantly higher proportion than the statewide average. Meanwhile, the taxable value of Douglas County farmland has more than doubled, even using the use-value method of appraisal, to $19.3 million, which is now just over 1.5 percent of the total pie. The value of commercial and industrial real estate has grown 14 percent since 2008, to $290 million, but its share of the total valuation has only risen slightly, to 23 percent. Commercial machinery and equipment, which used to make up 3.5 percent of the tax base, has disappeared from the county’s total assessed valuation. Overall, the total property tax base of the county has grown 10 percent since 2008, to $1.26 billion.

Balancing needs Douglas County officials have shown their commitment to exploring jail alternatives, but they also have a responsibility to plan properly for future needs.

ouglas County commissioners have to balance many factors as they consider the expansion of the Douglas County Jail. Local residents who advocate alternatives to traditional incarceration are right that commissioners shouldn’t move too quickly to final approval of a jail expansion, but the county also has reason to keep the process moving forward. Commissioners undoubtedly would be happy if alternative treatments and placements reduced the number of inmates at the county jail, but it would be irresponsible of county officials not to look at ways to eliminate the need to spend about $90,000 a month to house Douglas County inmates in other facilities. Even if various initiatives can reduce the number of inmates, improvements will be needed to bolster security at the jail and provide adequate facilities for an increased population of female inmates. County officials have worked with local law enforcement and mental health experts for many years to try to help inmates transition successfully into the community and stay out of jail. They have shown their continuing commitment to that effort by appointing the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council to study how the county’s criminal justice system could be more effective and more fair. When commissioners voted last week to move forward with additional design work for the jail, Commissioner Mike Gaughan, who chairs the coordinating council, specifically noted that the group’s recommendations would be “fundamental” to that work. Nonetheless, commissioners are painfully aware that the county jail that was opened 17 years ago already is inadequate to fill the county’s needs. Lawrence and Douglas County continue to grow, and commissioners must make sure they are taking a responsible look at future needs. No one probably would be happier than the county commissioners to find ways to reduce those needs. That’s why they have been supportive not only of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, but also of plans for a mental health crisis intervention center and a proposed mental health court. Planning for jail improvements and exploring ways to reduce the jail population go hand in hand. The work that currently is happening on both of those fronts almost certainly will lead the community to a better decision and better facilities for the future.

Court limits definition of corruption Washington — The progressive drive to broadly define and thoroughly eradicate political “corruption” has corrupted politics. But discord is not altogether pandemic in Washington, and last week a unanimous Supreme Court, in this term’s most important decision, limited the discretion prosecutors have to criminalize politics. Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was sentenced to prison for unseemly behavior. He accepted from a Virginia businessman gifts and loans valued at more than $170,000. The businessman wanted McDonnell to help promote his dietary supplement business, including by helping him persuade state universities to study its products. The businessman did not get his money’s worth: No government action was ever taken on his behalf. Prosecutors, however, convinced a jury that quid pro quo corruption (doing X in exchange for Y) had occurred because McDonnell arranged some meetings between the businessman and some state officials. McDonnell appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that legal precedents say that bribery occurs only when “official acts” are done in response to the receipt of something valuable, and that what he did (arranging contacts for the businessman, attending receptions with him, etc.) were not exercises of government power, hence were not official acts. The jury that convicted McDonnell was instructed that it could find an official act in behavior that could

An appellate court approved this. Now the Supreme Court has disapproved. Searching, like Flaubert, for le seul mot juste, Chief Justice John Roberts offered “tawdry” and “distasteful” to describe McDonnell’s behavior. But neither adjective is a synonym for “criminal,” and neither ethical nor aesthetic considerations are dispositive when determining legality. Besides, the gifts were then legal under Virginia law (which has been made less permissive). In a democracy, politics is always and everywhere transactional: Voters support a candidate in the expectation that they will be rewarded with certain policies, and politicians promise to benefit supporters

with particular policies. The court has held that politicians granting “access” to supporters who have made acts of “ingratiation” is not corruption. Due process is denied when the law does not give due notice of what behavior is proscribed. And during oral arguments in April, Justice Stephen Breyer issued a warning that was echoed by Roberts’ opinion last week. Breyer said a definition of corruption that includes a government official like McDonnell trying to “influence” government actions “puts at risk behavior that is common.” He said: “The word ‘influence’ is too broad, because every day of the week politicians write on behalf of constituents letters to different parts of government.” Furthermore, Breyer says prosecutors’ unchecked power to define corruption poses “as fundamental a real separation of powers problem as I’ve seen” because “the Department of Justice in the executive branch becomes the ultimate arbiter of how public officials are behaving in the United States.” Breyer’s anxiety suggests that the court’s liberals, too, are increasingly interested in the threat the administrative state’s rampant executive branch poses to the checks and balances that are designed to maintain the Constitution’s institutional equilibrium. As political puritans pursue ever-more-perfect civic hygiene, and progressives pursue ever-more-comprehensive government, the crusade against “corruption” expands to cover a multitude of sins.

finance regulations, ostensibly enacted to combat corruption or the “appearance” thereof, become corruption: They become weapons written for self-dealing incumbents or for partisan advantages. They favor incumbents over challengers or certain kinds of supporters over others. In 2014, 54 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus tried to do something never done in the 225 years since the Bill of Rights was ratified: They tried to amend it to make it less protective of liberty. They sought to amend the First Amendment in order to empower government to restrict the spending necessary for the dissemination of campaign speech about the government’s composition and comportment. The court has held that such restrictions are permissible only to combat corruption or the “appearance” of it. So progressives, who want government control of almost everything, justify its control of the quantity and timing of campaign speech by arguing this: The transactional nature of democratic politics is inherently unseemly and campaign contributions are incipient corruption (here, too, Donald Trump agrees with progressives), so government regulation of politics is presumptively salutary. These moral certitudes are more menacing to civic health than were McDonnell’s indefensible but not criminal comportment. And the multiplicity of campaign regulations means the court has more to do regarding the deregulation of politics. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Rejuvenated jeans won’t last forever I was forced to retire my only pair of blue jeans not long ago. They must have been at least 40 years old, which means I would have bought them around 1976 when Gerald Ford was president. I was very fond of them. They’d been with me for almost half my life. Time had worn them to a rarefied softness. They were pale blue, grading to white, like an April sky with cirrus clouds. Unfortunately, they’d become unwearable. Only a few threads held them together at the knees. But I couldn’t bear to part with them. So I took them to the alterations shop for rejuvenation. I didn’t think of it at the time but the gaping holes at the knees made them the epitome of fashion. I probably could have sold them for a fortune on eBay. What exactly is behind this strange, ubiquitous fad? I did a little research and found that torn jeans are an expression of “ex-corporation,” the subterfuge by which a subordinate group appropriates

stuff produced by the dominant culture for its own use. Wearing ripped blue jeans rather than buying new ones reduces the number of jeans bought and sold, thus striking a blow against capitalism. Ironically, designers and retailers sell readymade torn jeans for as much as $300, more than a pristine pair would cost. It’s an ex-

ample of the cunning of capitalism, which can exploit even its opponents and turn them into sources of profit... Blue jeans figure in “O, Very Young,” a song by Cat Stevens in which he laments the ephemeral nature of youth: “Though your dreams may toss and turn you now, they will vanish away like your daddy’s best jeans, denim blue fading up to the sky … And though you want them to last forever, you know they never will … And the patches make the goodbye harder still.” I know it’s a little silly, but I declare that’s one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard. By the way, “O, Very Young” has a classical pedigree. It’s an example of “Lacrimae rerum,” (“the tears of things”). It originated in “The Aeneid,” by the Roman poet Virgil where Aeneas broods on the deaths of his friends and countrymen in the Trojan War. Isn’t it wonderful that a homely pair of jeans can furnish a connection to an epic poem written over 2,000 years

ago? Of course, Romans like Virgil wore togas rather than jeans. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Virgil had an old, threadbare toga which inspired sentiments not unlike those of Cat Stevens. “O, Very Young” also exemplifies the “Ubi Sunt” theme (“Where are they…?”). Minstrels from the medieval poet Villon to Pete Seeger and Paul Simon have employed it to muse upon mortality and transience: “Where are the snows of yesteryear?” “Where have all the flowers gone?” “Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?” Think about these matters the next time you slip into your jeans. The seamstress did a wonderful job of restoring my jeans. But I remember the words of Cat Stevens: “You’re only dancing on this earth for a short while.” Even with new patches, my jeans will not last forever and, alas, neither will I. — George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

There’s no mystery about how the mosquitoes got into Shawanda Holmes’ former home. They flew through a gaping hole in the wall. One of the wooden boards on the side of the house is partly missing, covered only by a loose, blue plastic tarp that flows down the outside wall and crumples in a heap on the grass. Rainwater pools in its folds, providing an ideal site for mosquitoes to breed. Trash fills the backyard. Holmes' home had no air conditioning, and she was afraid to plug in a fan, for fear that water had leaked into the electrical outlet. Mosquitoes repeatedly bit her children. “The mosquitoes were tearing us up, no matter what I did," said NEW ORLEANS

Shawanda Holmes stands outside of her New Orleans home where a tarp covers a hole that allows rain to spill into her bedroom. Her family was attacked daily by mosquitoes. When Holmes asked the landlord to fix the wall, she was evicted.

MICHAEL B. SMITH AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

Wiesel was raised in the Northern Transylvanian village of Sighet, Romania. In 1940, the region was ceded to Hungary, which allowed the Germans to force the region’s Jewish populations into ghettos. Four years later, the Wiesel family was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Wiesel, then 15, was tattooed with the number A-7713 and separated from his mother and three sisters. His father was beaten by a guard and killed in 1945, just weeks before Buchenwald’s liberation. His mother and younger sister Tzipora also did not survive. After the war, Wiesel moved to Paris, where he wrote Un di Velt Hot Geshvign (And the World Remained Silent), a Yiddish memoir that would become known as Night and be translated into 30 languages. “Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere,” he wrote in Night. He would go on to write some 60 books. In 1978, President Carter appointed Wiesel to lead the President’s Commission on the Holocaust. The museum it proposed in Washington opened in April 1993 and has welcomed over 38 million visitors.

POLL FINDS AMERICANS NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT ELECTION The next president, whoever it is, apparently won’t be saddled with the burden of high expectations. Fifty-eight percent of voters say that Donald Trump would not be a good president, according to a recent Quinnipiac University national poll, while 35% say he would be. That compares with 53% who believe Hillary Clinton would not be a good president; 43% say she would. There is, of course, a sharp partisan divide when it comes to outlooks on the potential presidencies of both candidates, though more Republicans are pessimistic about their standardbearer than are Democrats. When it comes to independents, however, the verdict is clear: 59% believe Trump will not be a good president, while 60% think the same of Clinton.

Those stricken by poverty are susceptible to Zika virus v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Holmes, 32, who lives in New Orleans' Center City neighborhood. If Zika spreads in the United States, Americans who live in substandard housing and neglected neighborhoods could face the greatest danger, particularly along the Gulf Coast — where steamy summers, high poverty rates and a dizzying array of mosquitoes could allow the virus to take hold, said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Houston’s Baylor College of Medicine. About 45 million Americans live in poverty, including 8 million along the Gulf Coast. The less money people have, the less they can afford basic protections, and the more likely they are to live in neighborhoods with inadequate trash collection or illegal dumping, Hotez said. Roadside trash can contribute to Zika outbreaks by collecting rainwater and providing a breeding ground for mosquitoes. "Having low-quality housing means you don't have air conditioning, you don't have window screens, and the mosquitoes can easily fly into the home," Hotez said. People without access to health care, particularly contraception, are also at higher risk, said Corey Hebert, a New Orleans pediatrician and emergency medicine physician. Zika poses the greatest threat to pregnant women and their unborn children, who can develop catastrophic brain damage if infected in the womb. Hebert said he worries about pregnant women living in crowded public housing projects. While anyone can be bitten by mosquitoes, “where there is more crowding and less air conditioning, there is more risk,” said Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HUNDREDS OF MOSQUITOES IN ONE HOME

Carent Davis and Nicholas Coker began complaining to their landlord about the mosquitoes in their New Orleans apartment last November. Their landlord, who charged $675 a month for the two-bedroom unit in the New Orleans East neighborhood, didn't take their concerns seriously. By May, Davis, 30, was eight months pregnant and the apartment was infested with hundreds of mosquitoes. "It was unbearable," Davis said. The couple was terrified the mosquitoes might infect their unborn son. Mosquitoes “attacked us every day,” said Coker, 32, who said he often woke up in the middle of the night, swatting in the dark at unseen attackers. "I can’t bring up my baby in this house.” Yet leaving an unhealthy home isn't as easy as many imagine, said

With so many people searching for affordable housing, landlords have their pick of tenants; some feel no pressure to make repairs, Adams said. When Holmes withheld her rent payment to pressure her landlord to fix the hole in her floor, she was evicted. Holmes and her children moved in with her mother, who lives a few doors down, in a shotgun home owned by the same landlord. Before this story was published, Holmes received some good news. A nonprofit called Unity of Greater New Orleans, which helps people at risk of homelessness, has offered to pay Holmes' rent and security deposit for the next year. She's now planning to move into a house across the street. Few people in substandard housing are that lucky. “I worry a lot about the tenants I work with,” Adams said. “They’re really stuck.

5 DEAD, 25 INJURED IN FLORIDA BUS CRASH

Five people, including at least one child, were confirmed dead after a bus collided with a semi truck and burst into flames in Wakulla County, Fla. Four people died at the scene and the fifth died at a hospital, said Wakulla County Sheriff Charlie Creel. The sheriff said 25 more people were taken to the hospital. At least one of the injured was airlifted from the scene. The refurbished school bus ran a flashing red light at an intersection and collided with a tractortrailer, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said. The bus was carrying as many as 35 Haitian migrant workers and their families. The truck also was destroyed. Creel said three of the dead were on the bus and another was the driver of the semi. — Sean Rossman and Karl Etters, Tallahassee Democrat VOICE RECORDER FROM EGYPTAIR CRASH INTACT

Egyptian investigators said Saturday that memory chips in the cockpit voice recorder of an ill-fated EgyptAir plane were not damaged and experts should be able to reconstruct key conversations to help determine why the

plane went down in May, killing all 66 people aboard. Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a statement that French experts in Paris needed to replace some secondary parts of the cockpit voice recorder that communicate with the memory chips, but the chips themselves were intact and undamaged. “Test results were satisfactory, as (they) enabled the reading of the recorders of the CVR memory unit,” the statement said. — Doug Stanglin MOTHER CHARGED IN FATAL STABBING OF 4 KIDS

Shanynthia Gardner was charged with multiple offenses overnight in connection with the stabbing deaths of her four children in southeast Shelby County, Tenn. The youngest victim was a 6-month-old girl, Sheriff Bill Oldham said Saturday. The other victims were a 4-year-old boy and girls ages 3 and 2. Gardner, 29, faces four counts of first-degree murder associated with aggravated child abuse, four counts of first-degree murder in association with aggravated child neglect, plus four more counts each of aggravated child abuse and aggravated child neglect or endangerment. — Daniel Connolly, The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal

WASHINGTON — President Obama signed two bills to address the Puerto Rico debt crisis and overhaul the Freedom of Information Act on Thursday, but expressed disappointment that Congress didn’t give him more bills to sign before leaving town for a long holiday weekend. “I’d hoped to use my pen more often before Congress left town,” Obama said in a series of Twitter posts after the bill signing. “Congress is leaving a hefty to-do list undone.” Among the items left on Obama’s agenda: Funding to combat the Zika virus, confirmation of his nominee for the Supreme Court, gun control legislation, and a war resolution for the Islamic State. But in comments to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, Obama hailed the two bills Congress did send him, beginning with a transparency measure. The FOIA Improvement Act of 2015, sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn, RTexas, will limit reasons the government can use to refuse to release public records and improve the processes for responding to information requests. It passed both houses of Congress by a voice vote. “The Freedom of Information Act is one of the key ways in which citizens are able to find out what is going on in government,” Obama said. Acknowledging delays in processing an increasing number of requests, Obama said the bill would make it “easier, faster and cheaper” for people to know what government is doing. The Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act, or PROMESA, was sponsored by Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.

ported Berlusconi for a while. But if you do vote for someone like that, understand what you get. Silvio always did what was best for Silvio. I think Trump is probably the same.” Alan Friedman, a U.S. journalist who wrote a popular biography of Berlusconi and has interviewed Trump, calls Berlusconi “the second-most influential Italian leader of the last hundred years, after (wartime fascist leader Benito) Mussolini.” “He transformed Italian poli-

tics,” Friedman said. “But in the end, he will be remembered much more for his scandals than for his achievements.” Berlusconi’s high-profile sex antics — he coined the term “bunga bunga” to refer to sex soirees he hosted involving scores of teenage women and powerful, older men — made Italy the butt of jokes around the world. In April, Il Fatto Quotidiano, an influential newspaper, said in an editorial that Trump, like Berlusconi, is a threat because he is “a parasite that destroys the political establishment through the use of self-marketing and advertising techniques.” Gallo, the analyst, agreed: “In a way, Italy has always looked to comparatively orderly elections in the U.S. as something to strive for,” he said. “I think it’s a bit confusing that the Americans are considering the same kind of error Italy already made: voting for a seductive demagogue like Trump.” Some rank-and-file Italians say they recognize Trump’s charms but are not seduced by them. “There might have been a time when I would have liked Trump, and it’s true he can be charming,” said Barbara Conti, 78, a retired schoolteacher. “But that doesn’t work on me anymore. I supported Berlusconi and ended up losing part of my pension by being forced to retire early. When you get taken advantage of by one con man, you can see the next one coming 100 steps away.”

Islam grows in communist Cuba Some 10,000, mostly converts, practice their religion in increasingly tolerant nation

Kamilia Lahrichi

Special for USA TODAY

As Cuban salsa beats pulsate along Obispo Street in the oldest section of this Caribbean capital, bearded men raise their hands to their ears and face east toward Mecca. They whisper in unison “Allahu akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic). They recite verses of the Quran. They bend down and place their head, knees and hands on Oriental rugs. They represent a thriving group of Islamic followers in the most unlikely of places: communist Cuba. As Muslims across the globe celebrate the holy month of Ramadan, which began in early June, they are joined by a small but vibrant community of Muslims — about 10,000, based on their own estimate — who are blending Islamic values and Latin American customs in Cuba. They are now holding their daily prayers inside Cuba’s first mosque on an island more associated with Catholicism and Santeria. “Islam has been important in Cuban culture since the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the island,” said Marta Linares Gonzalez, 60, who converted to Islam and picked the Islamic name Fatima. “He came with Moorish slaves, who are part of the Spanish culture.” Shortly after Fidel Castro took control of Cuba in 1959, he instituted a communist government with prohibitions on religion. Catholic churches were shuttered, religious schools of all kinds were forced to pack up and leave the island, and everyday Cubans took to praying to God in private. As the years passed, Cuba’s government started easing those restrictions. It allowed for a freer expression of Catholicism, the predominant religion on the island, and Santeria, the blend of African, Caribbean and Catholic beliefs that has become popular throughout Cuba. In recent years, the Islamic faith has also taken hold. Pedro Lazo Torres, known as the Imam Yahya, said there used to be so few Muslims in Cuba that they could hold their prayers inside someone’s home. As they grew, their prayers spilled out into the street. Torres is now president of Cuba’s Islamic League and says the number of Cubans asking to convert continues to increase. He now operates out of a mosque that was inaugurated in June 2015, thanks to funding HAVANA

from Turkey’s president, Recep Erdoğan. Located in Old Havana, the mosque sits next to an Islamic museum, known as The Arab House, and has brand-new Spanish-Arabic copies of the Quran. Torres said the Muslim population has grown in part because of students who travel to Cuba from Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Rwanda. After an earthquake hit Pakistan in 2005, hundreds of Pakistanis resettled in Cuba and were given scholarships by the government. But on an island that sees little immigration, most Muslims in Cuba are converts. “Ninety-nine percent of Cuban Muslims are converted to Islam and not descended of Arabs,” said Ahmed Abuero, the mosque’s religious leader. That transition was a difficult one for Abuero, 48, who converted after reading Malcolm X’s biography 17 years ago. “It was difficult at the beginning because I had to stop drinking alcohol, seeing women, playing, eating pork and drinking rum, things every Cuban does,” he said. “The night I con-

verted to Islam, I could not sleep. I knew the following day my life would change forever.” The gym teacher said the expansion of Islam is a difficult one in Cuba and throughout Latin America, a region with little understanding of or exposure to the Islamic faith. “We don’t have TV shows about Muslims or good news about Islam, so we chat with people to teach them about this religion,” Abuero said. Some who live by the mosque have grown to accept their new neighbors. “It is true that a lot of nega-

tive things are being said about Muslims in the world, especially the Middle East,” said Marlina Barbosa, 67, who rents out rooms in her Old Havana home to foreigners. “But it does not bother me to see Muslims in Cuba. Everyone should be able to practice his or her religion in peace. We Cubans are very open.” Abuero considers it part of his responsibility to teach people like Barbosa about the religion. Every Wednesday and Thursday, he walks around different neighborhoods of Havana with a group of Cuban Muslims, clothed in their traditional white dress, to teach curious souls about their religion. “It is every Muslim’s duty,” he said. Standing on the doorstep of the mosque, Carlos Manuel, 17, a nursing student who adopted the Islamic name Ahmed Abdel Salam, says he converted to Islam over a year ago. “My three brothers are all Christians,” he said. “For now.” Abuero hears that and whispers “Inshallah,” or “God willing.”

THIRD QUARTER’S THE CHARM?

@adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street, still recovering from the short-lived Brexit market rout, moves into the third quarter with a mixture of hope and caution. After a two-day market shock that initially looked as if it could cause real damage to stocks and create ongoing havoc, the fallout from the United Kingdom’s surprise vote to leave the European Union quickly faded as investors downplayed its economic impact. The stock market carried on as if Brexit never happened, rallying four days in a row and nearly wiping out all of the 5.3% loss it suffered in the Brexit-inspired panic attack. The new quarter will bring fresh challenges to investors when they return from the long Fourth of July weekend. Investors will find out whether the political and economic fallout in the United Kingdom and Europe is truly in the rear-view mirror. Wall Street, because of a fresh batch of economic reports, will also get a fresh read on the U.S. economy and labor market this week — as well as the health of corporate America when the second-quarter earnings season starts in a few weeks. Investors might also get fresh guidance from the Federal Re-

Investors want “confirmation,” he says, that U.S. growth will continue to chug along at a pace of 2% to 2.5% and skirt a slowdown that could raise fears of recession. “What’s the economy going to do over the next 12 months?” says Wren, posing the key question Wall Street wants answered.

second-quarter earnings season plays out. Earnings for Standard & Poor’s 500 companies have contracted three quarters in a row and are seen contracting again in the just-finished Aprilthrough-June quarter. Investors hope the expected second-half profit rebound is still in the cards, especially given the hit to sentiment and still unknown impact of Brexit on the global economy. “Now the market will focus on earnings season, which will provide the next challenge,” says Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial. The presidential election could also rattle Wall Street as both parties get ready to host their nominating conventions this summer, adds Wren. Despite all the drama, the stock market still has some things working in its favor, says Bob Centrella, president and managing partner at Forza Investment Advisory. There’s still a lot of money on the sidelines looking for a place to invest, he says. And given the continued decline in government bond yields, stocks look like as good a place as any to commit cash, Centrella says. “What are the alternatives? If you are looking at bonds, you get negative rates or very low bond yields,” Centrella says. “Stocks still look attractive, especially after a sell-off, on a relative basis.”

Fasten your seat belts: Market’s wild ride continues

History shows that market roller coaster likely to keep going Mark Hulbert @MktwHulbert Special for USA TODAY

There’s just as much chance the stock market will soar in the second half of this year as plunge. That at least is the conclusion based on an analysis of the historical relationship between the stock market’s first-half-of-theyear performance and how it does in the second. That relationship turns out to be largely random. Some may consider this good news because it means the stock market in the second half of 2016 isn’t doomed to experience the big swings suffered so far. Yet others may be disappointed, as these odds mean we have no reason to expect the stock market to

perform any better between now and December than it has been. One thing is clear: The stock market had a roller-coaster ride over the past six months. After turning in the worst start to a calendar year in U.S. history, the stock market turned in a strong rally in which the Dow Jones industrial average rose 4% above where it started 2016. It experienced another strong correction in late June, following the global shock over the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union, but then came roaring back as the first half of the year came to a close. At the halfway point of the year the Dow is up 2.9% and the Nasdaq is sporting a 2.6% loss. Perhaps the strongest bet we can make based on the historical relationship between the first and second half of the year is that this roller coaster is likely to continue. Why? Because periods of high volatility tend to be clustered together. Many analysts use an airline analogy to describe this tendency. Periods of airline turbulence are clustered together, so pilots

turn on the fasten-the-seatbelt sign at the first sign of it — and then turn it off after the flight has been calm for a while. Bracing ourselves for above-average volatility as we begin 2016’s second half is the functional equivalent of fastening our seat belts. Searching for patterns in the relationship between stocks’ first- and second-half performance can also increase our understanding of how the markets work in general. The reason sec-

ond-half performance is randomly related to its first-half returns is that the stock market looks forward, not backward. “The behavior of the stock market is a function of the consensus expectation among investors about the future. What changes the market’s level are changes in that consensus, and the only thing that changes it is new information — which by definition has nothing to do with what came before,” says Law-

rence Tint, chairman of Quantal International, a firm that conducts risk modeling for institutional investors. To illustrate, Tint mentions a common response to the news that the U.K. voted to leave the EU: We should be making portfolio changes in response to Brexit. “But this betrays a misunderstanding about the markets,” he argues. “It is too late to make any such changes based on what has happened, since the British referendum is already reflected in the market’s current level.” “What will change the market going forward,” he continues, “will have nothing to do with the fact of the British referendum itself but with developments yet to come — the terms of the exit that Britain and the EU negotiate, for example. Only if we have special insight and can forecast these future developments better than the consensus should we now make changes.” Mark Hulbert, founder of the Hulbert Financial Digest, has been tracking investment advisers’ performances for four decades.

PERSONAL FINANCE Home warranties could be worth it

(but read the fine print) Deborah Kearns NerdWallet

When Courtney St. GemmeChandler and her husband bought an older home in Aurora, Colo., in 2012, they assumed it would need some minor TLC. But their elation soon turned to frustration when the house started falling apart. Right after they moved in, a pipe burst under the concrete in the basement. That was followed by a broken dishwasher, a nonfunctioning electrical panel and faulty wiring. Luckily, the couple’s real estate agent had purchased a home warranty for them as a closing gift. It was a fortuitous gift saving them $2,000 on repairs. While homeowners insurance protects your home against unforeseen circumstances, a home warranty, at an average of $550 per year, covers the normal wear and tear on the major mechanical and electrical systems in a house, says Art Chartrand, of the National Home Service Contract Association. Your heating and air-conditioning systems, the water heater, sump pump and stove are some of the items covered. Home warranties, also called

Getting a claim approved comes down to knowing what your policy does and does not cover.

home service contracts, are nothing new, but more real estate agents have recommended them in recent years as the housing market has been flooded with foreclosures and short sales — properties often neglected. “A home warranty is like an insurance policy that protects you after the home sale, but you have to pay close attention to what is and isn’t covered,” says Tony Martinez, a real estate agent with Re/ Max North San Antonio. “Do your homework and research companies online, and make sure you document all of your communications.”

Deborah Kearns is a staff writer at NerdWallet, a personal finance website. Email: dkearns@nerd wallet.com. Twitter: @debbie_kearns. NerdWallet is a USA TODAY content partner.

READ THE FINE PRINT

Consumers sometimes make the erroneous assumption that a home warranty covers structural defects or insurable incidents normally included in homeowners policies, such as natural disasters, burglaries or fires, Chartrand says. Some mistakenly believe that the policies function as emergency home service contracts, meaning the problem will be diagnosed and fixed within hours. When you file a claim, your home warranty company chooses a local contractor that’s been vet-

ted and sends a worker out to diagnose your problem for a set service fee, which you’re responsible for. If the contractor doesn’t find an issue or you disagree with the findings, you can ask the warranty company to send a different contractor for a second opinion. Warranties don’t cover every little thing — think leaky faucets or peeling paint. That puts the onus on you to read your contract and ask questions, says Katherine Hutt, spokeswoman for the Better Business Bureau. You might opt for a certain level of coverage based on your home’s size, condition and age. Beware of scammers who might offer a halfprice home warranty, then disappear when you file a claim. NEGOTIATE REPAIRS

A home inspection won’t uncover every problem, but it can lay the groundwork for getting the most from your home warranty. Martinez advises buyers to negotiate major repairs during the home inspection period and ensure regular maintenance of their home’s systems and appliances. Some home warranty companies, for example, won’t cover an airconditioner that hasn’t been serviced within a certain time frame; that’s an item worth negotiating with the seller before closing, Martinez says.

RETIREMENT

WOMEN OFTEN GET SHORTCHANGED Robert Powell l Special for USA TODAY

lanning, saving, investing for and living in retirement isn’t easy for many Americans. But it’s especially difficult for women, according to a new report published by the National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS). But that doesn’t mean all is lost for women, according to Jennifer Brown, manager of research at the NIRS and a co-author of the report, “Shortchanged in Retirement, The Continuing Challenges to Women’s Financial Future.” Here’s a look at some of the key findings and what women might do to improve their odds of enjoying retirement. WOMEN ARE 80% MORE LIKELY THAN MEN TO BE IMPOVERISHED AT AGE 65 AND UP, WHILE WOMEN 75 TO 79 ARE THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY. How best to avoid living in poverty? uSave at work. Save early, save often and save as much as you can. “You should participate in your company’s retirement plan if you are eligible, as soon as you’re eligible, and save as much as you can to maximize the powers of compound interest,” Brown says. uSave in an IRA. If you do not have access to a retirement plan in the workplace, Brown recommends saving through an IRA, such as MyRA. uGet rewarded for saving. Many people don’t take advantage

of opportunities to boost their retirement savings through the federal Saver’s Credit or do not contribute to a retirement plan, even though their employer provides a match, says Brown. The Saver’s Credit — for low- to moderate-income individuals — provides a tax credit of up to $2,000 for those who contribute to a retirement account. To get this credit, taxpayers must file Form 8880 along with their tax returns. What’s more, if your employer offers an employer match, definitely take advantage, says Brown. uDo not kick the can down the road. Retirement may be here sooner than you expect. “Almost half of workers retire earlier than expected, due to health problems, downsizing/layoffs or the challenge of caring for a spouse or family member,” says Brown.

LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION AMONG WOMEN 55 TO 64 CLIMBED FROM 53% IN 2000 TO 59% IN 2015. According to the NIRS, women may be working longer to make up for lower retirement savings over their careers and to offset losses from the Great Recession. “Without returning to the workforce, most women will not have enough money to

retire,” says Brown. Even though Social Security benefits provide women 65 and up an average of $13,824 a year, Brown says this is $10,000 less than the nationally recognized cost-of-living estimate. “Because of this gap, women will need to rely on more than just Social Security alone,” she says.

WOMEN IN HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, WHERE DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS ARE MORE PREVALENT, HAVE HIGHER INCOMES IN RETIREMENT AND LOWER RATES OF POVERTY.

ISTOCKPHOTO

Women should continue to seek out careers in these fields, Brown says. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, women have historically worked in education and health care. And that trend continued in 2013, when 19% of women were employed in health services, 15%

were employed in educational services and 6% in public administration. “It is not surprising that women are drawn to these fields as these fields have some of the highest rates of retirement coverage ... of all the industries we examined,” said Brown.

WHILE WOMEN WERE SOMEWHAT MORE LIKELY THAN MEN TO WORK FOR EMPLOYERS OFFERING RETIREMENT PLANS IN 2012, SOME MIGHT NOT BE ELIGIBLE DUE TO WORKING PART TIME. “Women represent two-thirds of the part-time workforce,” says Brown. What to do? “Women who are part-time workers should strive to meet the eligibility requirements in their employer-sponsored plan, or they should save on their own for retirement, through an IRA, such as MyRA.”

Jennifer Brown, manager of research at the NIRS

SOCIAL SECURITY IS AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INCOME FOR OLDER HOUSEHOLDS WITH INCOMES UNDER $80,000. “Even though Social Security keeps over one-half of women out of poverty, Social Security alone is not enough to make ends meet for all women, except married women,” says Brown. “For widowed, divorced, separated and never-married women — especially black and Latina women — these women will need additional savings ... in order to not work during retirement.” Robert Powell is editor of Retirement Weekly, contributes regularly to USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal and MarketWatch.

Newman decision helps KU even more this time Malik Newman commits to Kansas University out of high school, and the internet breaks, the Mass Street bars sell out of legal beverages, and every baby boy born in Lawrence for the next six months is named Malik. Newman announces he will transfer to KU after a year at Mississippi State, and fingers tap palms with polite applause. That’s how it works. The unseen is always better than the seen because the imagination takes hold of it and runs faster than Canadian Olympian Ben Johnson on steroids. The reality: Newman playing one year of games as a red-shirt sophomore does far more for a team than had he been a oneand-done player for the Jayhawks this past season. He will be two years older. The adjustment period from slower, less skilled, less structured competition to Div. I basketball is behind him. Highly recruited high school players seldom have a clue how stiff a challenge college basketball presents until they go through it. Newman experienced that playing for a tough coach, Mississippi State’s Ben Howland, who once led UCLA to three consecutive Final Four (2006-08) appearances. Talent evaluators at the NBA combine suggested to Newman he should return to college, and Newman decided that even though it meant sitting out a year, he needed a different coach. Howland discussed Newman’s decision on an ESPN podcast with Andy Katz and Seth Greenberg. “I think that was really tough because it was never what was expected or projected from him or his dad, so I think they felt like they had to go somewhere else to make that happen,” Howland said.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY RUNNING-BACKS COACH TONY HULL encourages his players during a spring practice on April 5.

First-year assistant tapping into Louisiana roots By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During his first four months on the job, Kansas University running-backs coach Tony Hull’s deep connection to his hometown of New Orleans has paid off more quickly than expected for the rebuilding Jayhawks. Hired by second-year KU coach David Beaty to replace veteran running-backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who left for Arkansas, Hull four times already has taken advantage of his reputation among young athletes in his home state by inspiring them to leave Loui-

siana for the chance to play at Kansas and in the Big 12 Conference. “Coach Hull, he’s just an honest person,” three-star defensive end Troy James, the most recent of the Louisiana commitments, told the Journal-World. “He doesn’t cut any corners, he keeps everything real, and he doesn’t sugar-coat anything. He just wants us to come up there with him and help change this program around.” That desire, according to those who know him best, is driven fully by what’s best for the young men first and

Hull and Kansas football second. That’s the way Hull always has operated, dating back to his days in New Orleans as a high school coach at Warren Easton High, which he turned from disaster to contender in just a couple of years. Because Warren Easton’s status as a magnet school allows it to draw enrollment from multiple districts, Hull always received great interest from athletes all over Louisiana. But the numbers game did not always allow Hull to take those who wanted to play football for him.

Rather than turning them away, Hull stayed involved. “When he couldn’t get kids in, he shipped ’em to his rivals just to help the kids,” Beaty told the Journal-World. “He was sending them to the guys that he had to beat to win a state championship, and he was doing it because he wanted what was best for those kids.” With that philosophy perfectly in line with what he believes is paramount to running a program — strong relationships — Beaty always had an inkling that he would Please see HULL, page 3C

MISSISSIPPI STATE GUARD MALIK NEWMAN (14) dribbles past Arkansas forward Keaton Miles during a Feb. 9 game in Starkville, Miss. Newman revealed Friday he will transfer to Kansas University.

Kansas University basketball assistant Jerrance Howard, who had spent two years recruiting Mississippi high school phenom Malik Newman, remembers the disappointment felt on April 24, 2015 — the day Rivals.com’s No. 8-rated player announced for Mississippi State over KU and Kentucky. “Most definitely,” Howard recalled, asked if the agony of defeat, signified by Newman wearing an MSU cap and ringing a cowbell in a news conference at Callaway High School in Jackson, Miss., was real. “Coach (Bill) Self will tell you I had a bad attitude a couple weeks after that.”

Howard was speaking on Friday, the day 6-foot-3, 190-pound c o m b o guard Newman chose Howard KU as his transfer destination over Oregon, North Carolina State, Western Kentucky and Miami. “Fourteen times. Seven during the school year both years,” Howard said, asked how many trips he made to Mississippi in pursuit of the McDonald’s All-American. “We never missed a (AAU) game in the summertime. Once I couldn’t go,” Howard added, who on that one occasion was attending to a death in his family.

“I spent a lot of time at the high school, got to know his high school coach. One of the assistant coaches was a KU fan. We just couldn’t get over the hump. Mississippi State being close to home. Dad played there,” he added of Horatio Webster, Malik’s father. “They had a lot of momentum switch when coach (Ben) Howland got the (MSU) job. It was really tough. He (Newman) is probably the best scorer I’ve seen in 11 years of coaching, definitely the best scorer of any recruit. He has a natural niche in scoring the ball.” Howard, the lead recruiter on KU’s staff in the pursuit of Newman, was so liked by Malik and Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Ex-Hawk Horford signs with Celtics Al Horford ended the waiting game with a simple tweet: “Celtic Pride,” it said, followed by 18 shamrocks. The number might not have been a coincidence. A franchise with 17 NBA championships may have gotten closer to contending for an 18th on Saturday, when Horford decided to accept a four-year, $113 million offer to join the Boston Celtics. Horford made the announcement on Twitter, and the terms of the detail were confirmed to the Associated Press by a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no deals can be finalized until at least Thursday under league rules. Horford wasted no time in changing his Twitter bio, which now says he is “Boston Celtics star Forward/Center Al Horford.” And the reactions came in swiftly as well, after one of the biggest prizes in this year’s freeagent sweepstakes decided to leave Atlanta. “Let’s get it,” Celtics guard Isaiah Thomas wrote. The Celtics won 48 games last season, finishing in a four-way tie for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. They have a strong young core already, a highly regarded coach in Brad Stevens and had the money to land a huge free agent.

NBA salary cap jumps $24.1 million New York — The NBA’s salary cap for the 2016-17 season has been set at $94.1 million, a huge leap from last season that has led to the enormous deals being given players in free agency. The cap last season was $70 million. The increase was largely because of revenue increases tied to the league’s new national TV deals, worth about $2.5 billion a year, that begin next season. The new cap will go in effect at 11:01 p.m. on Thursday, ending the league’s moratorium period and allowing teams to sign players and make trades. The luxury tax level will be set at $113.3 million.

Daytona Beach, Fla. — Brad Keselowski had his confidence shaken at Daytona International Speedway more than once. He was a good plate racer, but never could find his way to victory lane at NASCAR’s most famous track. That changed Saturday night with a dominating performance that gave Team Penske its 100th career Sprint Cup Series victory. More important, it gave Keselowski his long-awaited first win at Daytona. Keselowski led a race-high 115 laps then held off Kyle Busch on a two-lap shootout that sent the race into overtime for one additional lap. It gave him his fifth career Cup win in a restrictorplate race, but all the others had come at Talladega. He won on the Alabama track most recently in May. “I don’t care if it’s not the 500. It’s Daytona. This is huge,” he said. “I love this place.” He loved it even when he came up frustratingly short, or not even close at all. Keselowski said his futility at Daytona was “a kick in the youknow-what,” but he and his No. 2 Ford crew kept chipping away at it even after he had a disappointing run in the season-opening Daytona 500. “I got down on myself here,” he said. “We came down here for the 500 and quite honestly we ran like dog crap, but my team worked on it. I didn’t give up on them. I believe in my team and my team believes in me and we went to work and we put together a better car, and it really showed with a great effort from the whole team. I’m really proud of everybody.” The race was marred by a 22car accident that collected more than half the field.

Akron, Ohio — Jason Day had no indication that Saturday at the Bridgestone Invitational would be such hard work until one swing. His plan was to hit a draw with his driver, and the shot started out to the right. Trouble is, it kept going to the right until he was deep in the trees. “That came out of nowhere,” Day said. “It wasn’t just down the right. It was way right. I think it’s more of a mental thing when it comes to those ones because when you’re sharp and you’re on your game and you’re hitting it great, you don’t miss them that far.” It didn’t help that he missed again on the next hole. And then the next one. Or that he hit only three fairways on a Firestone course that demands more. Day still managed to turn that into a 1-under 69 to share the lead with Scott Piercy. “I felt like Mr. Haverkamp out of ‘Caddyshack’ trying to find his golf ball and not knowing where the golf hole goes,” Day said. But he could find the bottom of the cup, including three par putts of at least 8 feet. Piercy, coming off a runner-up finish in the U.S. Open two weeks ago at Oakmont, quickly tied Day for the lead with an eagle on the par-5 second hole and was flawless until the final hole. He had a one-shot lead until pulling his tee shot into the left rough, running a low shot through the green and into a back bunker, and having to scramble just to escape with a bogey and a 67. They were at 5-under 205, the highest 54hole score at this World Golf Championship since 2007. Only nine players remained under par, and given the firm conditions of Firestone, Day believes all of them have a chance. David Lingmerth of Sweden had a 69 and was one shot behind. The big move Saturday belonged to U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, who hits it a long way and has a short memory. Johnson was 5 under through 11 holes and closing in on the lead when he played the final seven holes in 1 over for a 66. Still, that was enough to get him to 2-under 208, three shots behind, along with Charl Schwartzel (67) and William McGirt (70).

Woodland six points back Reno, Nev. — Greg Chalmers birdied five of the final six holes Saturday to increase his lead to six points in the Barracuda Championship, the PGA Tour’s lone modified Stableford scoring event. The 42-year-old Australian had seven birdies and a bogey for a 15-point round and 39-point total at Montreux in the scoring system that awards eight points for double eagle, five points for eagle, two points for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three points for double bogey or worse. Ben Martin and former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland were tied for second. Martin had eight birdies in a 16-point round, the best score of the week. Woodland had an 11-point round. He won the 2013 event for the last of his two PGA Tour titles. Chalmers, Martin and most of the players are fighting for a spot in the British Open in two weeks at Royal Troon in Scotland. Because of the West Virginia floods that led to The Greenbrier Classic being canceled next week, a spot was transferred to the leading player not already eligible at Montreux. Woodland was the only player in the top 23 who has already qualified for the Open.

LPGA

Henderson takes Portland lead Portland, Ore. — Brooke Henderson grew up toward the eastern part of Canada in Ontario, but the Pacific Northwest has quickly become a favorite of the budding 18-year-old star. She continued her mastery of Columbia

Edgewater Country Club, shooting a 70 Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into Sunday’s final round of the Cambia Portland Classic. Henderson, who claimed her first LPGA Tour win a year ago in Portland, was at 13-under 203 heading into the final round. She leads Colombia’s Mariajo Uribe, who was 11-under after a 71. Henderson, who earned her LPGA Tour card shortly after winning last year’s Portland event, was bidding for her third career win, all in the Northwest. Three weeks ago, Henderson rallied to win the Women’s PGA Championship at Sahalee in Sammamish, Washington. Henderson has shared or held the outright Portland lead the past six rounds. She was aiming to become the first back-to-back Portland winner since Annika Sorenstam in 2002-03. All wasn’t well Saturday for Henderson, who shot 69 or better in each of her first seven Portland Classic rounds at Columbia Edgewater, including last year’s Monday qualifier. Though she had four birdies, she was often scrambling to make par, and her card included a double bogey. “I played pretty awful today. Definitely want to play better tomorrow. I mean, I hit a lot of good shots. I just didn’t capitalize on my chances. That was the first 12 holes for me,” Henderson said. Norway’s Suzann Pettersen, tied for the lead with Henderson after the second round, faded to 9-under following a 74. Pettersen was the only player among the top 15 players who didn’t break par Saturday. Also at 9-under was 2014 Portland champion Austin Ernst following a 69. Pettersen was bidding to become the Portland Classic’s second three-time winner, joining Nancy Lopez (1985, 1987, 1992). Pettersen has history in Portland, rallying during the final round to win the 2011 and 2013 tournaments. In 2011, Pettersen erased a nine-stroke deficit on the final day to beat Na Yeon Choi in a playoff. American rookie Lee Lopez was 8-under after a 69. No. 9 Stacy Lewis was six strokes back at 7-under after shooting 67, the day’s second best score. Cheyenne Woods, whose best finish in two years on the tour was a tie for 24th, was also 7-under following a 69, as was Carlota Ciganda after shooting 70.

EUROPEAN TOUR

McIlroy second at French Open Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines, France — Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand posted a 3-under round of 68 on Saturday to move 8-under and take a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the French Open. Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and South Korea’s Wang Jeung-hun posted 1-under 70s, having been level with Jaidee and two other players overnight. Jaidee played consistently with three birdies. “I had a good game plan today ... hit a lot of fairway,” the 46-year-old Jaidee said. “Threeunder is an amazing round with the conditions and the wind gusting.” By contrast, McIlroy’s third round was hugely erratic as the four-time major winner had six birdies, three bogeys and one double-bogey. McIlroy recovered to make five birdies on the back nine. Wang’s round was the opposite, featuring three bogeys on his way back to the clubhouse after he had set out with four birdies on the front nine. Defending champion Bernd Wiesberger of Austria posted 70 and is one shot behind at 5-under, followed by South African Brandon Stone and four other players at 3-under. Wiesberger is looking to become the sixth player to successfully defend the title at the Le Golf National course, which is hosting the 2018 Ryder Cup. “I’m right up there,” said Wiesberger, who recovered from a bogey-bogey start to make three birdies. “I have played well on Sundays here, so everything is in place.”

Duffy, Morales lift Royals past Phillies Philadelphia (ap) — Danny Duffy pitched deeper than he ever had in a game while Kendrys Morales continued to hit like he has in the last two weeks. The red-hot Morales had two home runs and four RBIs, Duffy pitched 82⁄3 strong innings, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-2, on Saturday. It was the third straight game with a homer for Morales, who extended his hitting streak to eight games by going deep in the second inning. He is batting .565 with seven homers and 21 RBIs in his last 13 games. “I feel really good right now at the plate, and the key is I’m making hard contact when I’m swinging the bat,” Morales said through an interpreter. Duffy (4-1) allowed two runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts and no walks while setting a career high for innings. The left-hander’s previous best was eight innings, which he tied in Monday’s win over St. Louis. The 27-year-old Duffy recorded the first two outs of the ninth but was lifted for Joakim Soria after Cesar Hernandez’s RBI single. He said that prior to Saturday he’d never gotten an out in the ninth inning at any level of baseball. Duffy lobbied manager Ned Yost after the eighth inning to stay in the contest. “It’s cool to finish a game,” Duffy said. “(Yost) gave me the opportunity, and I’m grateful for it.” Whit Merrifield and Cheslor Cuthbert added a pair of hits for the defending World Serieschampion Royals, who finally gained some ground on Cleveland in the AL Central after the Indians

Horatio they almost felt guilty choosing MSU the first time. “Oh my gosh, yes indeed,” Webster said, asked if he respects the work Howard, Self and the rest of KU’s coaches put in recruiting his son. “Coach Howard and Malik have developed a great relationship. It was like, had they not hired coach Howland in the last hour, then the kid was going to Kansas.” “I’ve repaid him (Howard) for all those times,” Malik said with a laugh. “He is like family. That’s how close we got. Even now, before I committed, I could text him, ‘What’s up. How are you doing?’ It’s more than basketball with him,” Malik added. Accepting Newman’s decision gracefully the first time had to help KU’s chances in landing Newman the transfer the second go-round. “As a staff and coaches, we put a lot of work

KANSAS CITY’S KENDRYS MORALES, LEFT, ACCEPTS congratulations from teammate Danny Duffy after hitting a three-run home run against the Phillies on Saturday in Philadelphia.

had their 14-game winning streak snapped in Toronto. Kansas City trails the Indians by six games. Hernandez and Maikel Franco had two hits and an RBI each for Philadelphia, which had its four-game winning streak snapped. Aaron Nola (5-8) lost his fourth straight game after giving up five runs on six hits in five innings. Nola hadn’t gotten past 32⁄3 innings his three previous losses, and the 23-year-old right-hander has a 13.50 ERA during his skid. There were signs of

encouragement, though, as Nola finished by retiring 10 straight batters. “The last three innings, he looked like his old self,” Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. The Royals scored all five of their runs off Nola in the second inning. Morales did the greatest damage, putting the Royals up 5-1 with a threerun home run to right field. Normally Kansas City’s designated hitter, Morales has played right field the last two games because Yost wanted to keep his hot bat in the lineup.

“He’s carrying us a little bit right now,” Yost said. The Royals tied the game at 1 on Duffy’s first major-league hit and RBI, a bunt single that was popped up into a perfect spot between the pitcher’s mound and shortstop. Duffy had been 0-for-10 with five strikeouts this season. “I’ll take it,” Duffy said. “It just worked.” Merrifield’s RBI single to right with two outs put Kansas City ahead 2-1 before Morales’ drive. The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the first on Franco’s single that bounded off Duffy’s outstretched glove to score Peter Bourjos, who reached with a triple to extend his hitting streak to 11 games. Philadelphia looked poised to score again in the fourth, but Alcides Escobar’s stellar defense saved a run. Escobar sprinted deep in the hole at shortstop to field Hernandez’s ground ball and threw to second for a force play on Carlos Ruiz for the final out. Kansas City capped

in New Orleans, would get his college coaching career off to such a hot start, Beaty did not hesitate to answer. “Yeah, I did,” he said. “And the reason I did is because he’s one of them. He grew up where they grew up, he comes from where they come from, and he understands what their lives are about. Beyond that, he’s just a good man, too.” It was Hull’s potential and the strength of his relationships that inspired Beaty to hire him, but Beaty made no concessions for Hull, whom he first met years ago when learning the Air Raid of-

fense with current Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury. Instead of simply calling and offering Hull the job, however, Beaty first brought him to campus. “He came up before he spoke at our coaching clinic, and we made him interview in front of our entire staff because I wanted them to see what I already knew,” Beaty said. “He was phenomenal. His interview was so good. I mean, it was over right there, to be honest with you.” That moment might go down as one of Beaty’s most important recruiting plays, and it

has been paying off ever since. First came three-star athlete Travis Jordan, from Marrero, La., who committed to Hull and the Jayhawks in early April. Then came two-star wide receiver Takulve Williams, of New Orleans, who committed in midMay. Finally, four-star cornerback Mike Lee, of New Orleans, and James, of Baton Rouge, both committed in June nine days apart. And that’s to say nothing of current freshman Tyriek Starks, a quarterback who played for Hull at Warren Easton and committed and signed

in,” Howard said. “The kid liked Kansas the first time. You can’t knock a kid for staying home and going to dad’s alma mater. It’s why it is really important you handle things the right way whether you get a kid or not. There were no hard feelings. We kept a good relationship and wished them the best.” The Newmans contacted KU shortly after the decision was made to bolt Mississippi State after one season in which Malik averaged 11.3 ppg. “They said, ‘Is there still interest?’ We said, ‘Most definitely,’’’ Howard said. “Coach Self was good in explaining it all. He said, ‘This is business strictly, it’s all about basketball and school. It has to be the right fit. If you want to reach your goals we feel we can help you.’ We weren’t going to play around and call and kiss his butt,” Howard added. “We didn’t want that. He and his dad didn’t want that. They said they were happy to get a second chance.” Now Newman is preparing to come to campus

Tuesday for second session of summer school, and the Jayhawks will begin coaching an elite offensive talent. “A lot of it is in his blood. His dad was a bigtime scorer at Mississippi State,” Howard said. “He (dad) had him in the gym at a young age. He scores a lot like Keith (Langford), mid-range, off the dribble, off the catch, from three. He’s a bigtime scorer and it’s natural. I feel we’re getting a steal. At one point his junior year he was ranked No. 1 in the country. He’s been through the fire, got some experience at Mississippi State. Being able to sit out a year and go against Josh (Jackson), Frank (Mason), Devonté (Graham) will be good for everybody.” Regarding his offensive game, Newman, who averaged 29.7 ppg his senior year at Callaway, said: “My father, my uncles did a good job of getting me in the gym. Whenever I told them there was something I needed help on, they made it a main point to make it one of my strengths.”

Upon hearing that Hull would be joining him in Lawrence, Starks first expressed how happy he and countless others in New Orleans were for his former coach. Only then did Starks begin to contemplate how continuing their relationship these next four years would benefit him. “He gets the best out of people,” Starks said of Hull. “Just having him

there will probably help me understand things better, not just football, but also life and stuff off the field. He’s just that type of coach. You can go to him with anything.” Added James: “As soon as I met coach Hull, I felt like I had known him for years. He knew where I was from and I felt a strong connection to him right away because of that. A lot of coaches will pretend they know about you or about where you’re from, but coach Hull really does. He lived it. And that makes me feel really close to him already.”

American League Blue Jays 9, Indians 6 Toronto — Cleveland’s franchise-record 14-game winning streak was snapped by a loss to Toronto on Saturday, with the Blue Jays scoring three runs in the eighth to overcome a cycle by Rajai Davis. Toronto star Josh Donaldson hit a tying solo shot off Dan Otero (2-1) in the seventh and then made it 7-6 with an RBI single in the eighth. Michael Saunders added a two-run double, and Roberto Osuna pitched the ninth for his 16th save. Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki also homered for Toronto, which lost 2-1 in 19 innings on Friday, matching the longest game in Blue Jays history.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC WIPES HIS FACE during his men’s singles match against Sam Querrey on Day Six of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on Saturday in London.

WIMBLEDON

USA’s Sam Querrey ends Djokovic streak London (ap) — Facing yet another critical point during a match he never controlled, Novak Djokovic stretched for a half-volley drop winner, held up his right index finger — reminding the world, “I’m No. 1!” — then threw an uppercut and bellowed. Perhaps this was the moment everyone kept expecting as he tried to dig himself out of a daunting deficit against 41st-ranked Sam Querrey in the third round at Wimbledon. Perhaps this was a sign that Djokovic was rediscovering the consistency, efficiency and excellence he maintained for more than a year on tennis’s most important stages. To wit: Djokovic had won 30 consecutive Grand Slam matches, carrying him to four consecutive Grand Slam titles, the longest such run by a man in nearly a halfcentury. He didn’t just appear to be unbeatable at the majors. He was. No longer. His magical streaks are gone, including two successive titles at the All England Club and 28 Grand Slam quarterfinal appearances in a row, all brought to a sudden, stunning end by a player who has never participated in a major quarterfinal. With 31 aces against as good a returner as there is, Querrey did what no one else could for so long, beating Djokovic 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5) in a match interrupted Saturday by three rain delays after being suspended in progress because of showers a night earlier. “He just overpowered me,” was Djokovic’s simple assessment. Djokovic was stopped halfway to the first calendar-year Grand Slam by a

man since Rod Laver’s in 1969. “I believe in positive things in life, and I managed to win four Grand Slams in a row — two different seasons, though. I want to try to focus on that,” Djokovic said, “rather than failure.” His last loss at any major came against Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final in June 2015. Since then, Djokovic won Wimbledon last July, the U.S. Open in September, the Australian Open in January and the French Open last month, raising his Slam total to 12. Late in Djokovic’s second-round victory Wednesday, he slipped and fell to his back, but he appeared to be OK at the time. Against Querrey, he rarely seemed to be himself, and afterward, was asked whether he was 100 percent healthy. “Not really,” Djokovic replied, “but it’s not the place and time to talk about it.” Only Laver, in 1962 and 1969, and Don Budge, in 1938, won all four major championships in one year. “That was sort of quite a surprise, seeing Novak getting knocked out. I thought he was going to get the title,” Laver said in a telephone interview. “I don’t know whether it was the pressure or whether he wasn’t feeling up to full power. ... It didn’t look like he was ready to play a big match.” Things certainly looked bleak for Djokovic when he dropped the first two sets Friday against Querrey, the first American in 14 years to beat a man ranked No. 1 at a major. “I’m not going to lie

— in a single season has only been accomplished by two men. Don Budge, an American, did it in 1938, and Laver, an Australian, pulled it off twice, in 1962 as an amateur and in 1969 as a professional. Djokovic came to the All England Club after collecting four consecutive major titles, something no man had achieved since Laver all those years ago. But Djokovic did it over the past two seasons, not all in one. So the Serb was halfway to the true Grand Slam. “When he won the French Open, I thought: ‘Wimbledon, he’s won it twice in a row, why wouldn’t he come in confident and be able to win again?’ So I put him down as the favorite to win Wimbledon,” Laver said.

Laver thought Djokovic would win Slam London (ap) — Rod Laver figured Novak Djokovic might very well be the player, and this might very well be the year, that would finally end his distinction as the last man to win a calendar-year Grand Slam. “It’s a tough road,” Laver said Saturday in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from his home in California. “Certainly, I thought he could be the guy to do it.” Laver tuned in on TV to see some of the match that ended Djokovic’s bid, a 7-6 (6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (5) loss to Sam Querrey of the United States in the third round of Wimbledon.

U.S. sprinters expect Bolt to run in Rio Eugene, Ore. (ap) — It’s a sport built on speed, and at U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials on Saturday, sprinters wasted no time drawing conclusions about Usain Bolt’s summertime itinerary. The consensus: He’ll be in Rio. For the second straight day, the Jamaican sprinter’s hamstring was Topic No. 1 in the track world. If Bolt is seriously hurt, the entire Olympics will take on a new perspective, whether it’s Bolt at less-than-full strength or — still unthinkable at this point — absent altogether. Not that anyone going through preliminary rounds in Eugene was worried about that. “Crazy stuff always

happens in an Olympic year,” said Bolt’s main challenger, Justin Gatlin, who cruised through his 100-meter preliminary in a time of 10.03 seconds. “Like anyone else, you have to see what’s going to happen. But c’mon. We’re going to see his face in Rio one way or another.” Gatlin, Tyson Gay, Mike Rodgers and Trayvon Bromell all advanced easily through the first round of the 100 on a sunny, 83-degree day that produced little in the way of top-line surprises. Meanwhile, a continent away in Kingston, few clues emerged the day after Bolt, the 29-yearold world-record holder, pulled out of his national championships, posting a

picture of himself on Twitter with electrical-stimulation pads stuck to his hamstring and the message: “Starting the recovery process right away.” Jamaica’s rules are much less restrictive than those in the United States, which allow the top three finishers in each event to qualify, with no exceptions. Per Jamaica’s rules, Bolt can earn his spot in the 100 and 200 if he can show he’s fit enough; that judgment call has to be made by July 18, when Olympic rosters are due. “I feel like it’s a cop-out. He should run like anybody else,” said Rodgers, the 2009 U.S. champion at 100 meters. “But at the end of the day, he’s Bolt.”

Phelps 3-for-3 at swim Trials Omaha, Neb. (ap) — Michael Phelps wasn’t about to lose his last race in the United States. With his gangly arms cutting through the water, Phelps dazzled the home fans one last time. Phelps made it 3-for3 at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, rallying on the return lap to win the 100-meter butterfly Saturday night. In what was billed as the farewell race in his home country, Phelps competed in lane seven after a sluggish swim in the semifinals. As usual, it took him a lap to really get going, making the turn in fourth place. But Phelps powered to the front, as he’s done so many times. Even with a long glide to the wall, he finished in 51.00 seconds.

Katie Ledecky and Maya DiRado also won their third individual events on the next-to-last night of the trials, while Nathan Adrian made up for the disappointment of four years ago by winning the 50 freestyle. For Ledecky, it’s been the dominating performance everyone expected, this one a nearly 10-second victory in the 800 freestyle.

FROM LEFT, LINDSEY FRY, COREY ALLEN, SCOTT OLCOTT AND THOMAS TONG REHEARSE A SCENE FROM “APRIL IN IRAQ” ON THURSDAY AT THEATER LAWRENCE. The play is one of six short works by Lawrence playwright Dean Bevan that Theatre Lawrence will stage Friday and Saturday.

PLAYING POLITICS Local playwright Dean Bevan’s works explore tough issues By Joanna Hlavacek lll

“I’ve never written a play to make a point. I’ve never written a play to a thesis, and this one (‘April in Iraq’) isn’t either.”

Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

ears ago, long before the congressional debate over requiring women to register for the draft made headlines and sparked national debate earlier this summer, Dean Bevan was mulling over a more fundamental question. “Do you think women ought to be in the Army?” It was a query posed to him by another man in Bevan’s Army Reserve unit. “And I said, ‘I don’t know,’” Bevan, now long retired from military service, recalls of the encounter. “And I still don’t know.” Which is why he wrote a play about it. Bevan’s “April in Iraq,” about an altruistic young woman who joins the Army Corps of Engineers to make a difference in the war-torn country only to discover a much different reality once on the ground, is one of six 10-minute and one-act pieces written by the Lawrence playwright to be performed Friday and Saturday at Theatre Law-

Beautiful ‘BFG’ a Spielberg must-see By Melissa Cooney Associated Press

Three-time Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg. Spielberg took on a challenge by bringing Roald Dahl’s 1982 novel “The BFG” to life. Spielberg and his crew rose to the challenge and produced a beautiful film that captured the essence of the book perfectly. A combination of real actors, real places and references to leaders in modern society make this film believable — you are taken to a world where giants do exist among us, and where elementary aged schoolgirls can change the world for the better. In “The BFG,” young and orphaned Sophie

Bevan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“And this is not an anti-war protester talking,” Bevan recalls. “But I think that’s one of the things the play is saying — there has to be a better way (of) dealing with our enemies without hurting our friends.” In the meantime, he’ll “keep going” with his acting pursuits.

A few days after Bevan’s Theatre Lawrence productions wrap, he’ll journey with his wife of 56 years, Judy, to catch a show of his in Gulf Shores, Ala. Hopefully, they’ll hit the beach and enjoy some fresh seafood while they’re there.

When The BFG realizes Sophie is no longer safe, he explains the story of a young boy who once lived in Giant Country before she did, and how he was eventually eaten by the other giants. The BFG attempts to return Sophie to her home in England, but the spunky and brave young girl wants to help him stand up to the bullies.

Discrimination may not be new hire’s problem Dear Annie: I am a middle-class woman in my mid-20s in Southern California, and I feel as if I’ve always had my voice heard. However, earlier this year, I started working on an Air Force base, and I’ve noticed some drastic changes. I am not taken seriously. I don’t really have much of a voice, and nobody seems to think of me as somebody with opinions. The only reasoning that I can see behind this is the fact that not only am I one of the youngest employees but I am a woman. Is sexism in the workplace really still an issue in 2016? I’m educated and more than qualified for my job, yet whether it’s in a meeting or on the floor, it seems I never get a turn to speak. A few of my female co-

Look for proof that you’re being victimized and you will always find it. Does sexism still exist in the workplace? Sure. And if your colleagues were actively discriminating against you, I would say pack up that briefcase and head for more

Predators’ drama on display Having just feasted on Shark Week, are nature documentary fans ready for an old-school diet? BBC America celebrates Sir David Attenborough’s 90th birthday with “The Hunt” (8 p.m., TV-PG), a series narrated by the celebrated filmmaker. “The Hunt” follows predators in the wild. While a casual glance at a leopard chasing an impala looks like an unfair fight, “The Hunt” assures us that the hunter is most often at a disadvantage and rarely captures his prey. The focus here is not on toothand-claw savagery, but canny strategy, by both predators and the pursued. It makes for addictive drama. New episodes of “The Hunt” arrive every Sunday night through August 14. O Stare at something long enough and the story changes. That’s the moral of “The Unknown Flag Raiser of Iwo Jima” (8 p.m., Smithsonian). For more than 70 years, Joe Rosenthal’s Iwo Jima photo, taken on Feb. 23, 1945, has been an icon of American history and military pride. “The Unknown” reflects years of research and forensic study conducted by Marine experts and amateur historians, revealing that one of the men in the picture has been misidentified and that the actual hero was U.S. Marine Corps Pfc. Harold Schultz, a Purple Heart recipient. He survived the war and took a job as a postman in the Los Angeles area. He never stepped forward to discuss his participation in the legendary image. But when he died in 1995, a copy of the famous picture was found among his few personal possessions. O All five parts of “O.J.: Made in America” will re-air on ESPN2 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ESPN will air another marathon starting July 16 at 11 a.m.

progressive pastures. But they’re not. From everything you’ve said, your situation sounds like it’s probably more about your age and newbie status than it is about your gender. Speak up consistently and you’ll carve out a space for yourself. In the workplace and in life, if you wait for your turn, it may never come. Dear Annie: I met my friend Marissa through our neighborhood dodgeball league. I was immediately attracted to her, but she had a boyfriend at the time, so I quickly dropped any thoughts of romance. Fast-forward two years. We recently both became single, and I sensed our friendship taking a turn. I decided to finally ask her out on a date. It was a little awkward — not

because the date was a bad call (it was clearly an idea we were both interested in) but because this is now uncharted territory. How do I date somebody who is already my friend? I feel as if I’ve gone back to high school! — Scared Dear Scared: This is one ball you don’t want to dodge. Friendship is the most valuable quality you can ask for in a partner, and you already have it! So yes, walk to her door to pick her up; show her your romantic side. But don’t sweat the small stuff too much. She already knows you well and likes you. This sounds like the start of a winning relationship.

Sunday funnies have nothing on these compelling comics

have a confession to make: I used to be one of those people who looked down their nose at graphic novels and comics and openly judged others for reading them. In frustration, I even said once, “It’s not really reading! It’s just a bunch of pictures!” (Yeah, I cringe thinking about it.) Sorry, everyone, for my past self being such a huge jerk. You will be happy to know that I have since cooled my jets when it comes to judging how, or what, others read. Reading is such a personal experience, and I am now a firm believer that any amount of reading is important, and it counts, even if it’s just the back of your cereal box in the morning. Last year I set out on a journey to actually sit down and read a graphic novel and find out what “works” for me. Since then, I think I’ve read maybe a hundred or so? Give or take? Safe to say, I am a massive graphic novel convert. Graphic novels are such a unique reading experience, and the type of joy I find reading a really good series can only be compared to spending sunny afternoons at my grandma’s house as a kid, flipping through her pile of newspapers to find cartoons I hadn’t read before. Her favorite was “Family Circus” — mine was “Peanuts.” Since my graphic novel knowledge went from “‘The Walking Dead’ was comics first right, right?” to having read over a dozen series and being well-versed in the format in the span of only a year, I came up with a few suggestions of some lesser-known graphic novels that deserve more love and attention.

“Lady Killer” by Joelle Jones Josie Schuller is the ideal 1950s woman — a gorgeous

housewife. She has an immaculate wardrobe (so what if she gets the occasional bloodstain on her dress?) that even June Cleaver would kill for, a husband who is both handsome and charming (how refreshing), and adorable twin daughters (who are, of course, blond). Josie also moonlights as an assassin who knows her way around the kitchen knives. So, you know, she is just your typical American housewife. The creator and illustrator of the series, Joelle Jones, has included an introduction in this volume which discusses how female characters are never allowed to be quite as brutal or violent as their male counterparts. Based off of that, and how this series has been marketed as Betty Draper meets Dexter, you can expect an intense amount of blood and violence beyond the perfect veneer of sweetness and great shoes. Josie is definitely a force to be reckoned with and will appeal to anyone who loves a strong female character who puts all the menfolk in their place while still wearing high heels and making it home in

time to make dinner. Tongue in cheek, this graphic novel practically screams “GIRL POWER!”

“Alex + Ada” by Sarah Vaughn “Alex + Ada” is set in the notso-distant future and follows a young man named Alex, whose grandmother gives him a companion robot named Ada for his birthday to help him move on from his ex-girlfriend (thanks, nana). In this universe, while humans heavily rely on androids as servants, companions and the like, the tension is rising after a somewhat sentient android went all Terminator on a group of people, killing many. Despite the political and legal ramifications, Alex and Ada develop a “starcrossed lovers” relationship. Don’t let the simplistic art style and the plot summaries fool you — this graphic novel series is not really a romantic comedy. In a three-volume arc, it explores complex themes like: Where does life begin? Are androids considered alive? Can artificial intelligence be enough to grant androids individuality

Graphic novel format works for nonfiction, too

“Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant” by Roz Chast In this memoir, longtime

New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast recounts her experience caring for her elderly parents in their final years. Chast is an only child; although she was close to her father, her mother’s strong personality and lack of warmth dominated their family. Chast’s unflinchingly honest and refreshingly funny portrayal of the complexities of family relationships and the heartbreak and tedium of navigating the golden years is drawn in her characteristic, anxiety-riddled style.

in a society in the midst of upheaval and of the struggle to understand the motivations and actions of one’s own parents.

“Fun Home” by Alison Bechdel MacArthur “The Arab of the Future” fellowship recipiby Riad Sattouf ent Alison Bechdel’s “The Arab of the Future” is award-winning “Fun former Charlie Hebdo carHome” (which has toonist Riad Sattouf’s memoir also been made into a of the childhood years he Broadway musical) is a spent with his French mother complex “family tragiand his Syrian father living comic” recounting Bechdel’s in France, Libya and Syria. efforts to understand her Originally published to great relationship with her father, popularity in France, Sattouf’s a funeral home director and work offers an evocative high school English teacher. child’s-eye view of the diffiHis parenting style is disculties of cultural assimilation tinctly chilly, and Bechdel and the confusion of living must also come to terms

BOOK REVIEW

Lazy jokes mar skillfully illustrated ‘Child’s First Book of Trump’ By Nara Schoenberg Associated Press

I’m guessing that your first question about this timely Trump satire is will it make a good gift for that hard-to-buy-for liberal in your life? The short answer is yes, in a pinch. Both author Michael Ian Black and illustrator Marc

Rosenthal offer flashes of fun in this satirical picture book for adults, and the packaging is top-notch. The cover is at once a skillful evocation of midcentury classics like “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and a hilarious swat at The Donald, depicted here as a swollen orange lima bean of a man. Sadly, it’s mostly downhill from there, as

Black delivers an ode, in rhymed couplets, to a man with all the wellknown flaws and foibles: “The beasty is called an American Trump. Its skin is bright orange, its figure is plump; Its fur so complex, you might get enveloped. Its hands are, sadly, underdeveloped.” Yep, Black went for a hand joke on page 3. Actor/comedian Black

gets in some great lines, such as “‘I KNEW this would happen!’ it says aplenty. Its hindsight is clocked at twenty and twenty.” But we get quite a few lazy rhymes and easy jokes from a guy who, at his best, is way better than that. Black told The Washington Post he wrote the first draft in a few hours, the second in a weekend. It shows.

f you’ve ever taken a creative writing class, you’ve no doubt heard the writing workshop mantra: “Show, don’t tell.” Combine that with the old adage that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and you’ve got the sweet spot that graphic novels inhabit — a medium that can pair compelling narrative with evocative illustrations can convey nuances of emotion and experience unavailable to words alone. If you are familiar with graphic novels at all, it is most likely through the lens of superheroes or fantasy or, well, fiction. But this endlessly flexible medium is also a vehicle for great nonfiction, and especially for memoirs that explore family dynamics — a realm where so many things are often left unsaid, and pictures can be particularly powerful. Here are some great picks to get you started:
