Affidavit: 19-plus pounds of pot found in car

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

What began as an interstate traffic stop ended with officers intercepting nearly 20 pounds of marijuana heading across state lines, police said.

Christopher Robert

Hidalgo-Reardon, 27, was arrested June 2 on suspicion of distribution of marijuana and felony possession of paraphernalia with the intent to manufacture, plant or cultivate a controlled substance.

The booking logs list only a California post

office box as HidalgoReardon’s address.

The evening of June 2, Lawrence police stopped a vehicle — driven by Hidalgo-Reardon — eastbound on Interstate 70, changing lanes multiple times without signaling properly, according to an arrest

affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court.

An arrest affidavit is a document filed by police explaining why a suspect was arrested. Allegations in an arrest affidavit must be proved in court.

State told to pay back $11.9M in federal funds Brownback administration plans to appeal decision

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration said this week it plans to appeal a decision by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which says Kansas must repay $11.9 million in federal welfare funds that it received during former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ administration.

John Milburn, a spokesman for the Kansas Department

of Administration, confirmed that HHS is demanding the funds be repaid.

“In June, HHS notified the Department of Administration that it was seeking approximately $11.9 million in federal funds related to the cost process related to child support that was in place from fiscal

years 2003 through 2010,” he said. “The amount includes overpayment of federal funds as well as interest.”

The issue actually dates back to Sebelius’ predecessor, former Republican Gov. Bill Graves, who in the 1990s began privatizing the child support enforcement functions of

the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, now known as the Department for Children and Families.

That agency is responsible under federal law for collecting child support on behalf of custodial parents who receive public assistance such as food stamps and cash assistance.

The state can collect child support on behalf of any custodial parent to whom support Please see FUNDS, page 2A

If you remember, we reported in January that Lawrence was one of 12 finalists in Midwest Living Magazine’s Greatest Town contest. The voting

has wrapped up, and the winner was announced in the most recent edition of Midwest Living.

The good news is that Lawrence is getting some national

attention as one of the more attractive towns in the Midwest. But perhaps there was a voter registration mixup at the secretary of state’s office or something, because Lawrence got beat in the voting by Traverse City, Mich.

Here is a list of recent Lawrence Police Department calls requiring the response of four or more officers. This list spans from 7:12 a.m. Wednesday to 5:46 a.m. Thursday. A full list of department calls is available in the Lights & Sirens blog, which can be found online at LJWorld.com. Each incident listed only bears a short description and may not capture the entirety of what took place. Not every call results in citations or arrests, and the information is subject to change as police investigations move forward.

The editors of Midwest Living raved about Traverse City’s six microbreweries and a wine trail that takes you to 26 different wineries.

Lawrence could probably compete in that arena.

To be fair, the editors also went on about paddle boarding opportunities on Traverse City’s Boardman River, but hey, if an editor with Midwest Living wants to paddle board on the Kaw, we could arrange that. (Guaranteed winning strategy: Leave him on a sandbar until we’re named No. 1.)

The state also charges the federal government a fee for the administrative cost of carrying out that function using a formula for calculating those costs.

Theresa Freed, spokeswoman for the Department for Children and Families, said the state typically collects between $195 million and $200 million in child support through its enforcement program, or about 55 percent of the total amount owed to the parents it serves.

commissioners pass a budget in August, the four-person squad will determine what intervention is necessary for people with mental health issues, improving the potential for them to be diverted from the criminal justice system.

The squad will also develop policies for how police care for mentally ill and intoxicated people and those with substance abuse issues, among other things.

A clinical case manager employed through Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center would be part of the squad and work fulltime out of the police department.

City Manager Tom Markus budgeted $256,449 to create the squad, $50,000 of which would go to Bert Nash to hire the case manager.

The total amount is $74,503 less than requested. Instead of adding three new positions for the squad, two will be added and the third will be an officer reassigned from another post.

It’s been reiterated throughout the city’s 2017 budget process that funding is tight. Markus recommended more money toward some City Commission priorities, such as affordable housing and bicycle and pedestrian transportation, but the budget also includes cuts — to city

staff, outside agencies and within city departments.

“I know budget times are tough, but it’s an exciting new project. It’s the first time we’re going to have a response squad like this, and it’s certainly the first time Bert Nash has a full-time person really embedded in the police department,” said Bert Nash CEO Dave Johnson. “The idea isn’t all that new. But it is new here.”

According to data from the Lawrence Police Department, mental health-related dispatch calls have increased since 2000, with “check welfare” calls rising from 570 to 1,651 in 2016.

Calls for suicide attempts increased from 366 in 2000 to 615 in 2015.

In 2012, the police department started looking into crisis intervention training for its officers.

As of April, 64 officers, or 42 percent of the force, had received the training. The department’s goal is to have all officers trained by the end of 2017.

Khatib started planning for the creation of a mental health squad in 2015, after hearing about the squad at the San Antonio Police Department.

Graves administration, the state only hired private contractors in 20 of the 31 state judicial districts. The policy was carried forward through the Sebelius and Gov. Mark Parkinson’s administration.

Those companies are essentially private debt collectors whom the state authorizes to collect child support enforcement debts. The companies are paid a percentage of all the money they collect.

When Gov. Sam Brownback came into office in 2011, he greatly expanded the privatization model to apply statewide.

Four companies have contracts to conduct child support enforcement in different parts of the state, according to DCF. But one company, YoungWilliams, has the bulk of those contracts, covering 23 of the 31 judicial districts and 70 of the 105 counties, including Douglas County.

Two years into the Brownback administration, in 2013, Milburn said

Johnson County started a similar effort, the “coresponder program,” in 2011. It started in Olathe and expanded in 2013 to Overland Park and this year to Lenexa and Shawnee.

According to a 2014 case study on the Johnson County program by the National Association of Counties, it led to a decrease in the number of police calls that culminate in someone going to jail or a hospital. It also helped to increase the number of people who receive ongoing mental health treatment after calling the police, the case study states.

“The ability to intervene as early as you can really increases your opportunities for success and recovery for people who are facing a crisis and mental health challenge,” Johnson said. “It makes a real difference.”

If funding for the project goes through, Khatib said he’d establish the squad as soon as staffing levels allow for it.

The department is facing a shortage of patrol officers, he said, and replacements are currently going through the police academy. A class graduates from the academy in November.

That apology reads, in part: “I want to apologize for my comments that were offensive to the city of Topeka. The

Other mental health care funding When elected, the City Commission listed mental health as one of its priorities. According to city data, slightly more than $1 million is allocated toward that priority in the city manager’s budget. The $1 million includes the mental health squad, other funding toward Bert Nash, and facility improvements to the Community Health Building.

With the $50,000 for a case manager to work as part of the mental health squad, Markus’ recommended budget calls for Bert Nash to receive more overall from the city than it did in 2016: $515,785 in 2017 compared with $503,208 in 2016.

But the budget does not grant Bert Nash its full request for its WRAP (Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities) program, through which the agency provides mental health services in local schools. It’s also receiving less than requested — and less than in 2016 — for its case managers to help those facing homelessness.

Bert Nash received $350,000 for the WRAP program in 2016, requested $350,000 for 2017 and is set to get $321,815 in the recommended budget. For case managers, Bert Nash received $153,208 in the 2016 budget, requested $178,208 for 2017 and would receive $143,970 based on the city manager’s recommendations.

comments were made out of frustration for a series of budget cuts aimed at the arts that I felt sadly mirror many similar cuts made in Topeka at the state legislative level. My ‘anger’ with Topeka on this topic is with the legislature which convenes in Topeka, not with the private citizens and artists of Topeka.

“I’m hopeful that my overall message isn’t lost in articles that focus on the one controversial statement; I stand behind the ultimate message which was that many people choose to live in Lawrence because of the artistic and culturally diverse strong environment it offers.”

Herbert went on to write: “In expressing my desire to see Lawrence stick to (its) culturally vibrant roots, I didn’t need to degrade anyone else’s city. That was a very poor choice and for that I am truly sorry.”

— This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

Johnson said he wasn’t sure yet how the cuts would affect services.

Bert Nash lost more than $1 million in state Medicaid funding when Gov. Sam Brownback issued a package of allotment cuts in May to balance the Kansas budget.

It’s one of more than two dozen community mental health centers around Kansas that have lost a combined $30 million a year in Medicaid funds to treat low-income individuals with serious mental health problems, the Journal-World has reported.

“I’ve heard this before, people think Bert Nash is big and better able to absorb these cuts,” Johnson said of the decreased amounts from the city.

“But we’re cut so deeply by state decisions, we can’t pick that up. There will be cuts and they will be felt. We’re going to have to pull every rabbit out of the hat.”

As a result of the state cuts, Bert Nash has closed its Eudora office and eliminated a few positions.

Johnson said he has requested extra funds from Douglas County to help offset the loss of state dollars. Besides its typical request to the county, Bert Nash asked for an extra $154,000.

The amount was not included in County Administrator Craig Weinaug’s recommended budget presented to Douglas County commissioners Wednesday.

Suit alleges Westar undervalued self in sale Topeka (ap) — A classaction lawsuit has been filed claiming that Westar Energy executives undervalued the company when selling it to Great Plains Energy.

Family seeks help on project for man with asbestosis

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

A Lawrence woman is hoping to get some community support to make her husband’s life with stage 3 asbestosis more enjoyable.

Teresa Thompson said her husband, James Thompson, was diagnosed in 2011, and in the past year his health has deteriorated. She said he loves to spend time outdoors gardening and keeping the yard in good shape, but, as it is now, the path to the backyard isn’t safe for him.

Thompson said she’s been working since February to collect donations of money and materials to build a walkway with wide steps that James will be able to navigate so he can enjoy time in the yard.

The family has partnered with several organizations and businesses, including their own church and credit union; the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation; VizX Design Studios; Owens Flower Shop and more.

Fessenden said the demands those additional devices will place on the district’s Wi-Fi were taken into account.

“They had in mind we were primarily Apple products, and the numbers of devices that will actually be in the schools,” Fessenden said.

Problems with the district’s Wi-Fi have been prevalent since the district purchased a more than $1 million Wi-Fi system in 2014. In January, the Lawrence school board approved a wireless site survey to

BRIEFLY Hearing date set in voting case

Election Assistance Commission.

Wichita (ap) — A federal appeals court has set a date in September to hear oral arguments in an appeal that could affect the voting rights of thousands of voters in Kansas, Georgia and Alabama.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia on Thursday set a Sept.

8 hearing date in the case of a U.S. election official who without public notice required documentary proof of citizenship on a national voter registration form used by residents of the three states.

The court a day earlier had set deadlines for July and early August for the parties in the case to submit written filings.

The Wi-Fi services and consulting firm Wireless Training & Solutions spent three months evaluating all of the district’s 22 facilities. For each facility, WTS created a report detailing the network issues and recommendations to improve service. The cost of the survey and equipment purchases totaled about $154,000.

Fessenden noted that future technology expansions were also considered, such as a potential 1-to-1 device

Wichita (ap) — Authorities say a Wichita area sheriff’s investigator was briefly hospitalized after being overcome with an unknown substance in a department evidence room.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department says the detective was processing evidence as part of a drug investigation when he opened a plastic bag and was overcome by a strong smell. The investigator then experienced sweating, slurred speech and dizziness.

The department says it’s unclear what the substance is and that it’s being tested. But the federal Drug Enforcement Administration has warned law enforcement agencies about fentanyl, a synthetic opioid said to be 50 times more powerful than heroin.

BRIEFLY Pittsburg to issue $6.5M in bonds for casino’s utilities Pittsburg (ap) — The city of Pittsburg plans to issue $6.5 million in bonds to fund construction costs for utilities at its new state-owned casino.

The Pittsburg City Commission approved a development agreement Tuesday that says the Kansas Crossing Casino and Hotel will initially pay for necessary improvements to bring sewer and water service to the facility, The Joplin Globe reported.

It also says the city will try to issue bonds within 90 days of the improvements being completed to reimburse Kansas Crossing.

“I am comfortable with everything I see here,” said Commissioner Monica Murnan shortly before the commission approved

the agreement.

Kansas Crossing will pay off the bonds over about 20 years with payments of about $440,000 annually, said James Walker, the casino’s project developer.

City manager Daron Hall said the city will pay for about $70,000 in projects, including lift-station upgrades. The casino will pay about $500,000 in engineering fees necessary for the utility work.

Hall said he doesn’t expect to raise taxes to fund the work.

“This is a very cheap way for us to get what we need,” Hall said.

Hurricane-force winds hit Wichita area Wichita (ap) — Strong winds sweeping across Kansas overturned a tractor-trailer, blew down a fireworks tent, toppled trees and

caused electrical outages.

The National Weather Service reported hurricane-force winds of more than 80 mph Thursday in the Wichita area. The storms followed another round of severe weather Wednesday.

In Sedgwick County, emergency crews rescued a tractor-trailer driver who became pinned in his rig when it overturned on Kansas 42. The driver was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Further west in Goddard, a fireworks tent was blown down along U.S. 54.

The winds also blew down numerous power poles. Westar Energy reported more than 2,000 customers without power in Sedgwick County. The earlier round of storms left several thousand without power in Ellis and Russell counties in western Kansas.

Your itinerary for Thursday’s Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale Out & About

Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

W

ith nearly 100 local businesses slated to participate, Thursday’s 57th annual Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale is again expected to draw at least 10,000 savvy shoppers over the course of the day — that’d be sunup to sundown, or roughly 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Although Massachusetts Street, particularly the stretch between the 600 and 1000 blocks, tends to attract the biggest crowds, bargain hunters would be remiss to not venture off the beaten path, says Sally Zogry, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. Venues located a little farther down Massachusetts Street — or just off it — boast their fair share of treasures, too.

Also, “Just because a business is not outside does not mean they’re not participating,” Zogry advises.

Among her tips: Dress for the weather, stop by the cooling stations to keep hydrated, visit the portable toilets at the breezeways in the 700 and 800 blocks of Massachusetts Street if you need to, and bring a buddy — “it’s more fun,” Zogry says. Those arriving early in the morning may have more merchandise to choose from, but often the best deals are found later in the evening.

“There’s a little something for everyone,” she says. “If you’re somebody who wants to get the $5 deal, you can get it. You can outfit your whole house, your closet, your dog or cat.”

Or, forget about the shopping (at least momentarily) and stop by the JournalWorld’s booth at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts streets for Town Talk Live with managing editor Chad Lawhorn (there will also

be gift card giveaways, to further entice you) from 8 to 11 a.m.

In the meantime, we’ve compiled a short-ish rundown of a handful of the many businesses (because there are really too many to mention here) participating in the sale this year. We’ve also pointed out where to cool off, find food and get your face painted. Good luck, shoppers!

600 Block Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St. Take a respite from the heat (you won’t find goods on the sidewalk here, for obvious reasons) inside Waxman Candles, where all votive candles are marked down to $1.10. Various candle holders and other odds and ends will also be on sale.

Cooling station: Escape from the heat at TCBY, 845 Massachussetts St., and Pickleman’s Gourmet Café, where free cookies will also be handed out, at 818 Massachusetts St. Refreshments: Air Summer Sno will be selling shaved ice to hungry shoppers in front of the law offices at 808 Massachusetts St. toward the end of the day.

To stave off theft, get to know your neighbors Dear Annie: I live in a large apartment building in a very safe part of town. It’s an older building, and all of the mail for the complex is in one room.

Large packages are placed by the mailbox in that room rather than brought up the four flights of stairs.

A few weeks ago, I purchased a couple of expensive kitchen gadgets online. I work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., so I knew that the package would arrive while I was at work. However, I checked for it every day before and after work, just in case.

Nothing.

After tracking the package online, I saw that my order had arrived three days earlier.

But it had gone missing.

I told the apartment manager, and he said there wasn’t any video surveillance.

Dear Annie

Annie Lane

dearannie@creators.com

I can be refunded for the kitchenware through the online retailer, but, Annie, how do I deal with neighbors stealing my stuff?

— Signed, Sealed, Delivered ... and Stolen Dear Stolen: If you want to feel safer around your neighbors, get to know them. It’s harder to steal from someone you know than from a stranger who is merely a name on a packing slip.

Consider planning a

Netflix’s new drama full of retro charm Our return to the 1980s continues with the eight-part drama “Stranger Things,” now streaming in its entirety on Netflix.

From its title card to its setting, “Things” pays homage to the world of Stephen King as well as the Steven Spielberg-influenced fantasies of that decade.

Set in a remote town where nothing ever happens, a supersecret government facility unleashes a fearsome entity during a systems b r e a k down that allows a mysterious young girl, known only as “Eleven” (Millie Brown), to escape. Against this backdrop, four endearing, geeky boys (Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Noah Schnapp) play Dungeons & Dragons and ride their bikes with carefree abandon. Until one of the boys simply vanishes.

Winona Ryder stars as the boy’s frantic mother, Joyce, and David Harbour plays the town’s overmatched and alcoholic chief of police, Jim Hopper.

“Things” offers a few nods to “Freaks & Geeks,” the 1999 series set in 1980. In addition to the geeky tween boys, there’s a subplot about a grade-grubbing good girl (Natalia Dyer) throwing caution to the wind and making out with the school’s popular bad boy lothario.

“Things” is one of those rare shows about middle and high school where most of the kids look and act their age. It’s a refreshing tonic to see kids so vulnerable and imperfect, so human and un-Disneyfied.

The series strikes the right balance between terror and whimsy, between fantasy hokum and emotional manipulation. And it’s fun to see Ryder — cast as a youth in such satires as “Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands” and “Heathers” — chew up the scenery as an emotionally distraught divorced single mother.

But like many fantasy features of the Atari era, “Things” is at its best when the awkward kids take center stage.

Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” and “House of Cards” may resonate more with critics and Emmy voters. “Stranger Things” offers pure comfort food. It’s as familiar as Hamburger Helper and simply hard to resist.

Tonight’s other highlights O A&E unleashes a nine-hour “Duck Dynasty” (6 p.m., TVPG) marathon.

O Auditions unfold on a twohour helping of “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG).

O Vets fill the mess hall on “MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox, TV14).

O Ethical choices documented on “What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC).

O Anderson finds himself overmatched on “Outcast” (9 p.m., Cinemax, TV-MA).

barbecue or movie night for the complex. You’ll make friends, and the other people in your building will recognize you as an active member in your community.

In the meantime, to ease your mind, have your packages delivered to the post office for you to pick up or delivered to your work.

Dear Annie: I’ve enjoyed fun and close relationships with my grandsons and my granddaughter. However, I just found out that my 14-year-old granddaughter, Emma, has been in therapy for the past few months because she was cutting herself. She’s been acting out since my daughter and her husband got divorced last year.

I heard one of my grandsons talking about Emma’s ‘‘sessions’’ and asked my

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, July 15: This year communication and kindness surround you. If you have a tendency to be withdrawn or quiet, kiss that behavior goodbye.

You become more open. If you are single, you could meet someone important to your life’s history.

This person could enter your life in the next few months, or in the months before your next birthday.

If you are attached, you like being a duo; however, at times you feel as if you have to explain too much.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++++ Just be yourself and be spontaneous. More will fall into place that way. Tonight: Look past the obvious.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ Recognize when you have had enough. Follow through on what you want to see happen.

Tonight: Be responsive but not overly doting.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Your sense of direction will prove to be far more important than you realize. Tonight: Chat the night away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Your effectiveness will be tested. You might not be sure which way to proceed. Tonight: Treat a friend or two.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Act on what you feel. A younger person needs advice, and

daughter what was going on. I’ve done some research online about cutting, and I know that Emma’s health should be our main focus. But I’m hurt that no one told me about this sooner. — Confused Nana Dear Nana: The most important thing is that your granddaughter is getting help. It sounds as if she is on that path.

Your family didn’t mean to hurt you by leaving you out. Try to remember what it’s like to be in the trenches of parenthood with a young daughter. It’s easy to get tunnel vision when in such a crisis.

Set your emotions aside, and just be there for your family — as you’re already doing.

will seek you out. Tonight: Out on the town.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Honor a change of pace.

You might need to rethink a personal matter and your priorities.

Tonight: Head home early.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You might have the inclination to head out the door early.

There is no reason why you cannot do this. Tonight: Take off ASAP. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Be more aware of yourself, especially as you could have a tendency to go overboard.

Tonight: Out late.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ You have accomplished a lot, and you could be evaluating yet another decision. Tonight: Make the most of each moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ Slow down. Be aware of what needs to happen in order to get a project moving. Tonight: Don’t act on any decisions yet.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++++ Understand that you won’t know the whole story for a while. Someone is drawn to you.

Tonight: Out with the gang.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Someone you care about pushes you hard. Open up and share your thoughts. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Historical tour

Freedom of information crucial

By Nikita Lalwani and Sam Winter-Levy Los Angeles Times

Who knew the Burroughs Creek Trail had so many connections to Lawrence history?

Y

et another view of Lawrence’s fascinating history is the focus of an exhibit that opens Sunday at the Lawrence Public Library.

The exhibit, titled “A Hike Through History on the Burroughs Creek Trail,” invites viewers to envision a walk along the recreational trail in east Lawrence as an opportunity to connect to various events and people in Lawrence’s history.

The exhibit was directed by Henry Fortunato, an avid walker and a visiting scholar at the Hall Center for the Humanities at Kansas University.

There’s a lot of historical ground to be covered on the 1.7-mile Burroughs Creek Trail. The exhibit starts with the railroad that traced the trail’s route. Close to the north end of the trail is the site of a camp that housed German prisoners of war during World War II. The exhibit connects the trail to such notable former Lawrence residents as Langston Hughes, the Haskell family and, of course, William S. Burroughs. The spot where Quantrill’s raiders crossed the trail on their way to Lawrence is located on the map as is the approximate spot traveled by emigrants on the Oregon-California Trail. Other parts of the exhibit honor early Lawrence settlers and business people.

It’s a lot of stories for one little trail.

During a recent walking tour of the trail, Fortunato discovered that many people had even more stories, many of which he’d never heard. That’s why people visiting the “Hike Through History” exhibit at the library will be encouraged to suggest other historical stories and vignettes that might be included in future iterations of the project.

After the exhibit concludes its run at the library on Sept. 10, it will be on display for several months each at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the Kansas Memorial Union and Watkins Museum of History.

At some point, Fortunato would like to see information from the exhibit installed in panels along the trail where they could become part of a permanent way for both local residents and visitors to learn about Lawrence history while taking a walk.

Fortunato and his collaborators have produced an exhibit that’s bursting with interesting facts about Lawrence history.

Even people who may be aware of these stories should find the new presentation both informative and entertaining. It certainly offers residents a new way to look at the Burroughs trail and all the history it has witnessed.

In 1953, newspaper attorney Harold Cross authored a report titled “The People’s Right to Know,” in which he made the case for government transparency. “Public business is the public’s business,” he wrote. “Freedom of information is their just heritage. Without that, the citizens of a democracy have but changed their kings.”

His report came out amid Cold War paranoia and heightened government secrecy, when Washington had gone so far as to classify the amount of peanut butter that U.S. forces consumed.

But Cross’ efforts, alongside the advocacy of Congressman John Moss, led President Lyndon B. Johnson, on July 4, 1966, to sign a law guaranteeing the public’s right to obtain government information: the Freedom of Information Act. This month, the FOIA turned 50. Over the past half-century, the act has been instrumental in revealing government overreach and negligence, and it has provided a vital tool for scholars seeking to correct the historical record.

But the FOIA remains plagued by problems: crippling delays, hefty fees and outdated technology — not to mention expansive loopholes that federal agencies routinely exploit to deny legitimate requests.

The statistics are staggering. Government agencies deny nearly half of all applications, and they heavily redact many of the documents they do release. In 2014, they improperly withheld an estimated 154,750 requests,

“

But the FOIA remains plagued by problems: crippling delays, hefty fees and outdated technology — not to mention expansive loopholes that federal agencies routinely exploit to deny legitimate requests.”

and the backlog soared to a record 159,741 requests. At least one has been pending for 23 years.

Too often, agencies invoke laughable excuses to retain documents. In 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that a 30-yearold volume of a CIA history on the Bay of Pigs could be withheld because, as the CIA argued, it might “confuse the public.” In response to a request from Human Rights Watch for data on deportations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement claimed that fulfilling the request would cause the agency to “virtually grind to a halt.”

After the advocacy group appealed the decision, ICE promptly handed over the information without any apparent difficulty.

These problems stem from obvious — and fixable — flaws. The first is federal agencies’ poor use of technology.

In 2008, a survey of government agencies found that none kept consistent electronic records. Today, agencies still print and physically file emails to keep a record of them. In 2011, the State Department saved a mere 0.00006 percent of its emails.

The second is a lack of

oversight. Different agencies exercise broad discretion in responding to FOIA requests, and there is no independent organization to enforce consistency. In 2015, for example, Human Rights Watch requested identical information from each branch of the armed forces.

The Air Force demanded $168,316 in processing fees; the Army asked for $1,584.

Technically, the Department of Justice’s Office of Information Policy is tasked with overseeing the Freedom of Information Act. But the Justice Department has been antagonistic toward it from the start, testifying early on that the act was unconstitutional. The OIP’s director, Melanie Pustay, insists the FOIA “works well for many requesters,” and the department recently awarded itself five points out of five for its “proactive” release of records. (Hearing this, Jason Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Pustay: “You live in la-la land.”)

The final problem is the ease with which agencies can refuse legitimate requests. Under Exemption Five, also known as the “withhold it because you want to” rule, agencies can suppress internal communications that would be inconvenient or incriminating — or simply difficult to process — on the grounds that they constitute an “interagency or intra-agency communication” or “draft.”

Of course, agencies sometimes have legitimate reasons for withholding information — national security, for example. Yet too often, agencies err on the side of excessive secrecy. In 2014,

agencies cited exemptions more than 550,000 times.

In June, President Barack Obama signed a bill designed to close some of these loopholes. Under the bill, agencies are allowed to withhold information only when there is a foreseeable harm to releasing it, codifying a presumption of openness. The bill prevents agencies from using Exemption Five for information older than 25 years, and it creates a centralized online portal for all FOIA requests.

But there is more to be done. The bill does not authorize any new funding to help agencies comply with the amendments, even though they need money to process backlogged requests, hire new FOIA officers and invest in recordkeeping. Nor does the bill include penalties for agencies that miss deadlines for responding to FOIA requests, creating little incentive for them to change their approach.

What’s needed, ultimately, is a shift in priorities: The Freedom of Information Act must become a central part of every agency’s mission.

Perhaps then it can truly live up to its promise, as Johnson articulated a half-century ago. “No one should be able to pull curtains of secrecy around decisions which can be revealed without injury to the public interest,” he said. “The United States is an open society in which the people’s right to know is cherished and guarded.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 15, 1916: years “The case of Magago gie Yeager was IN 1916 transferred to the county Monday morning after she was taken into custody Sunday night by the city officers with the basket of beer on her arm. No charges of selling liquor have been preferred against her but the officers thought that it was not likely that she had such a collection for personal consumption....”

Is Britain’s new prime minister, Theresa May, Margaret Thatcher reincarnated? There are similarities.

May is certainly as tough as the Iron Lady. As home secretary for longer than any of her predecessors, she has strongly opposed uncontrolled immigration. The Home Office introduced visa restrictions that require non-European Union immigrants living in Britain for fewer than 10 years to minimally earn the equivalent of about $47,000 USD, so as not to be a drain on social welfare programs. With Britain’s planned exit from the EU, that policy could be broadened to include all immigrants.

In a speech to her Conservative Party last year and in more recent remarks, May has struck a chord with British citizens who feel they are losing their country and its unique characteristics to foreigners who refuse to assimilate (sound familiar?). “When immigration is too high, when the pace of change is too fast, it’s impossible to build a cohesive society,” she told fellow party members.

This has driven the left

Cal Thomas tcaeditors@tribune.com

nuts. They have accused her of everything, except being a lady. It seems the last thing the British and American left want is a cohesive society because such a society would not allow them to pit groups against each other, dividing and conquering at the ballot box.

Here’s something else that should appeal to average British citizens, at least the older ones, who are mostly more reserved than Americans and younger Brits. Says May, “I’m not a showy politician. I don’t tour the television studios. I don’t gossip over lunch. I don’t drink in Parliament’s bars. I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve.

I just get on with the job in front of me.”

That two women competed to replace David

Cameron ought to have delighted feminists. Not so.

Sophie Walker, who heads the Women’s Equality Party, said of May’s rise to No. 10 Downing Street: “While it’s symbolically important to have women represented at the top of politics … who look like you … it’s as important that the person is creating policies in a way that answers your experiences.”

Say what? So it isn’t really about electing more women to political office; it’s about electing more liberals, some of whom can be women.

History doesn’t always repeat, but the political stars seem to be aligning over London and Washington for a possible sequel to what happened with Thatcher’s election win in 1979. Ronald Reagan’s victory followed a year later.

While May is ideologically closer to Thatcher than Trump is to Reagan, Trump has picked up on a theme that worked for both Reagan and Nixon. Following the Dallas ambush and the protests that have exploded in major cities, Trump has styled himself as the law-and-order candidate.

That this is occurring in an election year should be no surprise, but just as riots in the streets contributed to Republican victories in 1968, the political fallout this year might repeat.

In a recent speech in Virginia Beach, Va., Trump said: “We must maintain law and order at the highest level, or we will cease to have a country … I am the law and order candidate. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, is weak, ineffective, pandering, and as proven by her recent email scandal, which was an embarrassment, not only to her, but to the entire nation as a whole, she’s either a liar or grossly incompetent. One or the other … it’s probably both.”

Britain and the U.S. are experiencing social and political turmoil. Both nations are perceived by many to have weak leaders. Trump and May display strength and in troubled times British and American voters have demonstrated that they prefer strength to weakness.

Trump delays running mate pick Speculation centers on Ind. Gov. Pence David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

CLEVELAND As Republicans predicted that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence would be Donald Trump’s running mate, the New York businessman said Thursday he was postponing an announcement after a tragedy in France.

“In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow’s news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement,” Trump tweeted late Thursday after a truck plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day, leaving dozens dead.

Aides to Trump said Thursday afternoon he had not settled on a vice presidential running mate, while other Republicans said signs pointed to Pence.

Eighty people were killed and another 50 hurt in Nice, France, Thursday night after a truck filled with grenades and weapons plowed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in the resort town, according to French authorities.

Eighteen people were hurt critically, the Associated Press reported. The French Interior Ministry issued a statement on Twitter saying the driver of the truck was dead.

Authorities stopped short of calling it a terrorist act, but the Paris prosecutor’s office announced it was opening an investigation for “murder, attempted murder in an organized group linked to a terrorist enterprise.”

French President Francoise Hollande addressed the nation on Friday, saying “horror has struck France again,” an apparent reference to terror attacks in January 2015 and in November that, together, left almost 150 people

dead. He said the attack was of a “terrorist character” and extended the state of emergency put in place after the November attacks.

Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi told BFM TV that the driver fired at the crowd, according to police.

Estrosi told the news organization the truck was driven by someone who appeared to engage in “completely premeditated behavior.”

Word of the situation trickled out to the world after Estrosi sent

a tweet around 5:30 p.m. ET that translated to “Dear Nice, the driver of a truck seems to have left dozens dead.”

“This is the worst drama in the history of Nice,” Estrosi tweeted.

President Obama was apprised of the situation, National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said Thursday. The president spoke harsh words regarding the developing situation.

“On behalf of the American people, I condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed and wounded dozens of innocent civilians,” the president said in a statement released Thursday night. “I have directed my team to be in touch with French officials, and we have offered any assistance that they may need.

Witnesses described a horrific scene. “Thank God we decided not to take the young ones” to see the Bastille Day fireworks, Yves Lamorelle said.

Pence was in New York City Thursday, where Trump eventually plans to make an announcement.

The Indianapolis Star reported Thursday that Trump plans to pick Pence and that the Indiana governor is prepared to forgo his re-election bid in the state. Television news organizations also reported that Pence was the likely pick, though Trump’s campaign cautioned throughout the day that the deal is not done.

Trump told Fox News Channel’s Greta Van Susteren on Thursday, “I haven’t made my final, final decision.” He praised the other two top running mate contenders, Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie.

World of television: Smaller screen, bigger diversity

Emmy nominations include multi-hued range of talent Patrick Ryan USA TODAY

Diversity reigned once again in Thursday’s Emmy nominations, in stark contrast to the mostly white Oscars.

Across lead and supporting actor categories, 18 people of color received nominations — an improvement over the 11 nominated last year, when Viola Davis became the first black woman to

win an Emmy for actress in a drama series for ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder.

ABC’s Black-ish was nominated for comedy series and for lead actors Anthony Anderson (his second nod) and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Last year’s comedy winner Transparent, an Amazon series about a transgender father (Jeffrey Tambor) and her family, will compete again.

In the drama race, EgyptianAmericans Rami Malek and Sam Esmail were nominated as lead actor and writer, respectively, of USA’s Mr. Robot, which returned Wednesday for a second season.

Davis landed a second nomina-

tion for Murder, and Empire’s Taraji P. Henson will compete again.

Kerry Washington earned a nod for her turn as Anita Hill in the HBO movie Confirmation.

The limited series and TV movie categories were melting pots, led by FX’s The People vs.

O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, whose African-American stars Courtney B. Vance and Cuba Gooding Jr. will compete for lead actor with Luther’s Idris Elba.

The honors reflect the TV industry’s better track record with diversity. The Oscars came under fire this year for its second consecutive all-white acting field, leading to last month’s invitation

of 683 new members, 46% of whom are women and 41% are people of color.

For the Emmys, “this is an encouraging year,” says awards tracker GoldDerby.com’s senior editor Daniel Montgomery. “It’s nice to see a wide spectrum of diversity and not just what people (usually) talk about,” which is “how many black actors are nominated.”

Despite the diversity accomplishments, Asian-American and Latino talent was mostly shut out of major categories, except for Netflix’s Master of None — which landed four nominations, including best comedy series.

VOICES

Why did I leave the USA? One reason: Guns Mark Hehir

Special for USA TODAY

I didn’t think I would ever experience feelings like I did on the morning we left Ireland last summer.

My wife clutched our 6-weekold son as I loaded our unending procession of suitcases onto the belt at Dublin airport. I could feel the sweat on my brand new shirt but not from exertion. This was anxiety. Finally, we were about to realize the goal that was the result of three years of planning.

We are both practicing obstetricians, born and bred in Ireland, and babies are our business.

We had been afforded the enviable opportunity to spend a year working in New York City at Columbia University. I was to carry out research in patient safety while my wife completed a fellowship in fetal medicine.

Everything was in place. We had a hotel for the night of our arrival before we moved into our one-bed apartment on 89th Street. We even had a nanny coming for an interview a few days later.

The past year has been the most invigorating, thrilling and, at times, difficult experience for both of us. We have loved the buzz of the city, people’s brash attitude and the feeling that you are a real New Yorker.

Many times we have considered a life here. We would un-

Ginsburg apologizes for Trump comments Justice vows to be ‘more circumspect’ with her opinions Eliza Collins USA TODAY

Ruth Bader Ginsburg regrets her insults of Donald Trump.

The Supreme Court justice — who has been involved in a scuffle with the presumptive Republican nominee over the past few days — said she regretted her remarks and promised to stay out of it in the future.

“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them,” Ginsburg said in a statement. “Judges should avoid commenting on a candidate for public office. In the future I will be more circumspect.”

ALLISON SHELLEY, GETTY IMAGES

“On reflection, my recent remarks in response to press inquiries were ill-advised and I regret making them.”

Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

In three separate interviews the justice sounded off on Trump, at one point saying she didn’t “want to contemplate” the effects a Trump candidacy would have on the court. Ginsburg is known for her liberal bent, but the comments created a firestorm nonetheless because members of the Supreme Court generally avoid getting involved in presidential politics.

Trump called on her to resign from her post and said “her mind is shot!”

But he wasn’t the only one unhappy with the remarks: Ginsburg received widespread (and bipartisan) criticism, even earning editorials from The New York Times and The Washington Post.

MARK HEHIR

Mark Hehir decided to move his son Elliot and the rest of his family back to Ireland because of gun issues in the USA.

It is simply not good enough that somebody with an excuse as insignificant as a bad day can decide to leave their home and use legally bought weapons to kill as many people as possible.

doubtedly have financial and academic opportunities superior to those in Ireland. Our son and any children we are lucky enough to welcome in the future would grow up as Americans. They would be part of a diverse society and have educational, employment and earning opportunities seldom seen in Europe.

They would have the potential for lives that Irish people of my parents’ generation could only have dreamed.

The decision to return to Ireland at the end of our contracts was a close call on all fronts. But one consideration made it cut and dry. We steadfastly refuse to raise our family in a society where instruments designed to do nothing but bring pain, misery and death are freely available to virtually all: guns.

We woke last month to yet another example of an attack on innocent people — this time a mass shooting in Orlando — by a single gunman who had enough firepower to kill and injure dozens who left their homes to do nothing more than have a good time.

As an Irish immigrant of 10 months I should know nothing about the towns of San Bernardino, Calif.; Blacksburg, Va.; or Newtown, Conn. But they are each a reason why I would never raise my family in this country.

It is simply not good enough that somebody with an excuse as insignificant as a bad day can decide to leave their home and use

legally bought weapons to kill as many people as possible.

I do not care how entrenched the right to bear arms is in the history of this nation and how complex the political negotiations will be to remove guns from American society. Until this happens, these attacks will continue, and innocent people, many of whom have never seen or handled a gun, will die.

I cannot listen to the argument that guns are required to combat guns. The facts are simple: The USA has more weapons on the streets than any other civilized country, and the USA loses more citizens to gun crime than any other civilized country.

When I look at my handsome son about to celebrate his first birthday, the urge to protect him from any possible harm is overwhelming. I cannot protect him from everything.

But one thing I know. By growing up outside the USA, he is a lot less likely to be killed in a hail of bullets fired by a cowardly man searching for notoriety.

When I dragged the last suitcase onto the belt at New York’s JFK two weeks ago, I felt the sweat stain my crisp, new shirt bought especially for the journey home.

This time, the feeling wasn’t one of anxiety like it was last year. This time, it was a feeling of relief.

Hehir is an obstetrician from Dublin.

5 things to know about Mike Pence Brian Eason l The Indianapolis Star

cized by Democrats and Republicans alike, who said he didn’t do enough to dispel the idea that Indiana was intolerant of the LGBT community.

Shortly after its passage, the Indiana General Assembly passed a “fix,” which Pence signed into law. It prevents RFRA from eroding human rights protections.

The Indiana Pastors Alliance said it felt “betrayed” by Pence and lawmakers.

Whether your reaction to reports of Trump-Pence 2016 was “Mike Who?” or you just need a refresher on Mike Pence’s two-plus decades in politics, here’s what you should know about the 50th governor of Indiana.

Pence has long said his approach to governing is informed not by party, but by his faith and his love of the Constitution.

He’s opposed to abortion, and in Congress, he led the federal government to the brink of shutdown in 2011 in a failed attempt to defund Planned Parenthood.

A born-again evangelical Christian, Pence has been a strong proponent of religious freedom and says marriage should be between a man and a woman.

In the House, Pence’s championing of conservative social issues gained him the most attention, but he also fought to shrink the size of government, showing a willingness to buck party leadership to do so.

As a freshman in 2001, he opposed the No Child Left Behind education bill supported by President George W. Bush, a fellow Republican. That law sought to raise student performance and increase accountability for educators. Pence calls it an unfunded mandate that grew government.

In later years, he persuaded Republicans to cut spending in the federal budget before approving money for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in 2005. He also opposed the bank bailout in 2008.

HE SAYS HE’S “A CHRISTIAN, A CONSERVATIVE AND A REPUBLICAN, IN THAT ORDER.”

2 Pence and his five siblings grew HE WAS RAISED CATHOLIC AND IDOLIZED JFK

up in Columbus, Ind., in a family of devout Catholic churchgoers.

He told The Indianapolis Star in a profile in 2012 that as a young man, he was inspired to get involved in politics by figures such as John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. He volunteered for the Bartholomew County Democratic Party in 1976 and voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980.

In college, when he met his future wife, Karen, at an evangelical church, he became a born-again Christian. Pence said his political views, too, began to shift. “I started to identify with that kind of common-sense conservatism of Ronald Reagan,” Pence told The Star, “and before I knew it, I decided I was a Republican and moved up here in Indianapolis in 1983 to go to law school.”

HE WAS A SIX-TERM CONGRESSMAN, SERVING FROM 2001 TO 2012

HE SIGNED RFRA AND GAVE A DISASTROUS INTERVIEW DEFENDING IT

Over the objections of the business community and LGBT rights groups, Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 2015, setting off the biggest controversy of his political career.

Proponents said the law was needed to provide protection for exercising one’s religious beliefs free of government intrusion.

The measure in essence prohibited the government from intruding on a person’s religious liberty unless it could prove a compelling interest in imposing that burden and do so in the least restrictive way.

5 Pence’s polite demeanor stands in stark contrast to Donald HE’S NO FIREBRAND.

AARON P. BERNSTEIN, GETTY IMAGES

Pence holds a news conference in 2015 on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Opponents feared the act could be used to discriminate against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people in the name of religion. It explicitly overruled human rights ordinances that extend anti-discrimination protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Major employers and conventions threatened to boycott the state.

The weekend after the bill was signed, Pence attempted to defend the legislation and douse the fire. Instead, he may have only fueled it. In a nationally televised interview, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Pence six times whether the new law would allow a business to discriminate against gay couples. Six times, Pence ducked the question.

“We’ve been doing our level best, George, to correct the gross mischaracterization of this law that has been spread all over the country by many in the media … and the online attacks against the people of our state,” Pence said.

“I’m just not going to stand for it.”

The interview was widely criti-

Trump, who likes to give his opponents names such as “Crooked Hillary” and “Lyin’ Ted.” Still, in his first two campaigns for office in 1988 and 1990, Pence did go negative — something he later said he regretted.

“I think negative personal attacks have no place in elective politics,” Pence said during his run for governor in 2012. “I just think ... that negative campaigning I now know is wrong. It’s wrong to use one’s brief moment in a political debate to talk about what’s wrong with your opponent, as opposed to what’s right with your ideas.”

Part of Pence’s fate will be known by noon Friday — that’s the deadline he faces for filing for re-election in Indiana.

Donald Trump Jr. told NBC News that his father would probably decide soon among Pence, Gingrich and Christie.

“It’s down to three,” the younger Trump told MSNBC. “A decision has not been made by Mr. Trump,” spokesman Jason Miller tweeted Thursday. “He will be making a decision in the future.”

Amid reports about an intense debate among Trump family members and aides as to who should be the running

mate, Trump Jr. tweeted, “There’s literally none of the drama I’m reading about. 3 great choices. Decision is my father’s alone to make!”

Gingrich himself told CNN, “I would not be at all surprised if it was Pence.”

CBS News reported that Marc Lotter — Pence’s deputy campaign manager — boarded a flight Thursday from Indianapolis to New York City, which is Trump’s home base.

Congressional Republicans indicated they would welcome Pence’s selection as Trump’s running mate. “It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Mike Pence’s,” said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis. “We’re very good friends. I have very high regard

for him. I hope that (Trump) picks a good movement conservative. Clearly, Mike is one of those.”

Pence has been busy on Twitter — touting his accomplishments as governor. “We’ve cut costs, lowered taxes & reduced regulations to allow job creators to invest in what matters most — in their businesses & employees,” tweeted the former House member, who was elected governor four years ago.

In predicting Pence’s selection, Gingrich told CNN, “Mike’s got a lot of strengths, and he’s substantially younger.”

Trump has said he could even go off the list of prospects and come up with a little-known surprise pick.

Our Revolution group will extend to fund and train new candidates

Sanders looks to spread message of transformation

Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY

His presidential aspirations behind him, Bernie Sanders looks ahead to a busy future in which he continues to focus on nothing less than transforming the Democratic Party and the USA country.

TODAY In an exclusive EXCLUSIVE interview with USA TODAY, the Vermont senator detailed plans to launch educational and political organizations within the next few weeks to keep his movement alive. The Sanders Institute will help raise awareness of “enormous crises” facing Americans. The Our Revolution political organization will help recruit, train and fund liberal candidates’ campaigns. A third political organization may play a more direct role in campaign advertising.

Sanders plans to provide financial and other support (including campaign appearances) for at least 100 candidates running for a wide range of public offices — from school boards to Congress — at least through the 2016 elections. He said he probably will campaign for Tim Canova, a primary challenger to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, who chairs the Democratic National Committee.

“If we are successful, what it will mean is that the progressive message and the issues that I campaigned on will be increasingly spread throughout this country,” Sanders said. “The goal here is to do what I think the Democratic establishment has not been very effective in doing.

And that is at the grass-roots level, encourage people to get involved, give them the tools they need to win, help them financially.”

Sen. Bernie Sanders plans to parlay the energy of his campaign into an initiative to nurture more liberal candidates.

JARRAD HENDERSON, USA TODAY

mont, Sanders addressed the fight he still plans to take to the Democratic National Convention that begins July 25 in Philadelphia.

After endorsing Hillary Clinton at a joint campaign event in Portsmouth, N.H., on Tuesday, Sanders said he’ll do everything he can to defeat presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump. He plans to become active in Clinton’s campaign after the convention this month.

Sanders said he’ll remain a candidate until Clinton’s official nomination so his nearly 1,900 delegates can cast their ballots for him at the convention.

“I want the country and the world and our people to appreciate the kind of success we’ve had,” he said.

Sanders said he’ll push for electoral changes when the Democratic Party’s rules committee meets before the convention.

“If we’re not successful there, we will take those issues to the floor,” he said.

He calls for increased grass-

“The goal is at the grass-roots level, (to) encourage people to get involved, give them the tools they need to win.” roots activism, opening primaries to independent voters and changing the rules that allowed many superdelegates to endorse Clinton early in this year’s process, before Sanders became a candidate.

“That’s not Democratic and that’s wrong and that’s got to change,” he said.

After Sanders endorsed Clinton, some of his supporters took to social media to vent their frustration and disappointment.

Sanders said he felt disappointed as well, but he noted that the “progressive movement” isn’t strong in the USA. He said it’s significant that many of his ideas have been incorporated into the Democratic Party platform. The best path forward, he said, is not to “sulk” or “argue with each other.”

“The way to go forward is to build a progressive movement around a progressive agenda,” he said. “What you’re seeing is more traditional Democrats, more establishment Democrats, move in our direction because they see the support for our ideas.”

Sanders is writing a book, Our Revolution: A Future to Believe In, his publisher announced Thursday. Sanders declined to discuss that. “Stay on the issue, let’s go,” he said at the beginning of the interview. “Let’s start with the real stuff.”

Nearly 24,000 people have signed up on Sanders’ website for information about running for office or helping people run for office in response to a video address

June 16 in which Sanders urged his supporters to take action. At subsequent events, Sanders met privately with groups, talking with them in “professorial mode” about why he originally ran for office, said Shannon Jackson, who will head Our Revolution.

Sanders said Democrats’ loss of about 900 state legislative seats in nearly eight years tells him a strong grass-roots movement is needed to get people to run for office and to show them how.

Sanders said he wants to make sure candidates receiving such help are liberal. But they don’t have to be Democrats.

“If you have some strong independents who would like to run, it would be my inclination to support them,” he said.

He especially wants young people and working people to feel comfortable about getting more involved in the political process.

“The campaign is coming to an end,” he said. “But to my mind, what is absolutely imperative is that we keep the movement alive.”

CHRISTIE CONFIDANT PLEADS GUILTY TO FEDERAL CHARGES

One of the New Jersey governor’s trusted confidants pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges of taking advantage of his position for personal benefit.

David Samson, the former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, admitted his involvement in a scheme to pressure United Airlines to reinstate a flight from New Jersey to South Carolina. The former New Jersey attorney general is a longtime close adviser to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and served as chairman of the governor’s transition team when Christie first took office.

Under the terms of a plea deal, Samson could be sentenced to a term from probation to up to two years in prison. U.S. District Judge Jose L. Linares set sentencing for Oct. 20.

Fresno police released an “extremely disturbing” body cam video of officers fatally shooting an unarmed 19-year-old white man who appears to refuse repeated sharp commands to drop to the ground and hold his hands up.

Dylan Noble was shot and killed June 25. Fresno police

chief Jerry Dyer intended to release the video last Friday, but decided to postpone it afiter two police-involved shootings last week and a gunman’s rampage in Dallas that left five police officers dead just a day before.

In releasing the video Wednesday evening, Dyer called the footage “extremely disturbing” to watch, but said he hoped it would help clarify the circumstances at the time of the incident and why police opened fire.

— Doug Stanglin ALSO ...

uA civil funeral for Dallas Police Sgt. Michael Smith was held Thursday at The Watermark Church in Dallas. Smith was one of five police officers killed in an ambush last Thursday. He was remembered as a devoted family man and exemplary officer, and is survived by his wife and two daughters. uSomeone broke into the Orlando nightclub Pulse early Thursday, a month after a gunman’s shooting spree there left 49 people dead, local police said. The police report indicates someone pried off a piece of plywood that was screwed over a side door, then pried open a door. The report did not indicate that anything was taken. The owners, Rosario and Barbara Poma, discovered the break-in Thursday morning, the report said.

BERLIN Saif Ali grew nervous when he met his six Syrian bunkmates in a Munich refugee camp after finally making it to Germany late last year.

“They were strong supporters of the Nusra Front,” said the Iraqi refugee, referring to the al-Qaeda-affiliated group fighting in the Syrian conflict. “I was praying five times a day, to hide my beliefs from them. They did not force me to, but I did not feel secure.”

Ali, 21, is an atheist and said his lack of religion was one reason he fled Iraq. He worried that if his bunkmates knew, they would consider him an apostate and beat him up — or worse.

It’s a common story in Europe.

Many refugees have detailed experiences similar to Ali’s, encountering extremists among the estimated 1 million migrants who made the journey to Europe from the Middle East last year.

After the Islamic State’s attacks in Paris in November and in Brussels in March, European concerns that terrorists could be arriving as refugees have taken on new importance, even as more migrants arrive. Similar concerns are echoed in the United States, notably by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

A survey by the Washingtonbased Pew Research Center released this week found about half to three-quarters of Europeans, depending on the country, said the wave of refugees raises the risk of terrorist attacks in their countries. Respondents said they fear the newcomers — even as some refugees say the same thing.

“I see many extremists,” said Bader Khaishah, 28, a Syrian refugee at a Munich refugee camp.

“I cannot be certain, but they have strong tendencies (toward militancy). I can feel this from

the extremist tunes on their mobile phones, their injuries and their reaction when discussing the incidents in our region.”

Frontex, the European Union’s border control agency, said the Paris terrorist attacks that killed 130 people showed that terrorists can mingle among the flow of migrants into Europe. “Two of the terrorists involved in the attacks had previously irregularly entered through Leros (a Greek island) and had been registered by the Greek authorities,” Frontex said in its 2016 risk analysis.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said this week that militant groups are sneaking people into Europe among the refugees.

“The refugee wave (last year) was used by some to smuggle in terrorists,” she said.

Germany said it is investigating about 40 cases of suspected radi-

cals posing as refugees. In June, German police arrested three Syrian men on allegations of planning a terrorist attack in Dusseldorf for the Islamic State.

A fourth man allegedly linked to the plot is in custody in France.

Jamal Jabur, 32, an Iraqi refugee in Esslingen, Germany, said he met three men who claimed they previously fought for the Islamic State. Two of the men, from Ramadi, Iraq, were forced into the militant group, he said. But a third, from the Iraqi city of Mosul, believed in the Islamic State’s cause and often chastised anyone who didn’t follow the group’s harsh interpretation of Islam.

Some extremists see their mission as converting Christians into Muslims, Ali said, referring to a fighter from the Nusra Front militants who was forced out of Syria after the Islamic State invaded.

“One of this man’s goals after getting the residence (permit) was to spread Islam. He said, ‘Europe will become Muslim, we will Islamicize (them),’” Ali said.

“They are happy with the German attitude of welcoming other cultures and see it a suitable environment to spread Islam,” he said. “They say, ‘Germans are good, and we should save them.’”

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld FRIDAY, JULY 15, 2016

Now in seventh year and doubted from the start, it could challenge 1990s megabull for supremacy

295.46 ENDING LEVEL:

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Wall Street’s most-hated bull market could become its longest ever.

The No. 1-ranked 1990s megabull isn’t the only one that knows what it takes to live a long, profitable life. Today’s never-say-die bull — now the second longest at seven years and counting — has longevity genes, too.

And, if things go its way, the current bull market — which has powered the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index to four consecutive days of record highs more than a year after its last peak — might challenge the record-setting ’90s rally that lasted 3,452 days before being snuffed out in early 2000 by the bursting of the Internet stock bubble.

To eclipse the 1990s bull market the current rally needs to go another 768 days — or two years and 38 days — without suffering a decline of more than 19.99% — just shy of a bear market.

Never say never, Wall Street pros say. This bull, despite expensive stocks, slowing global growth, a wobbly Chinese economy, less profitable U.S. companies and fallout from Britain’s vote to exit the European Union, continues to defy skeptics.

“I can’t say it will, but I will say it could,” Scott Wren, senior global equity strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says of the current bull’s chance to outlast the nearly 10-year run from Oct. 11, 1990, to March 24, 2000.

“A lot has to go right,” adds David Joy, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial.

Agreed. But a lot went right for the ’90s bull. Recall that thenFederal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan warned of investors being “irrationally exuberant” three-plus years before the stock market’s ultimate top.

The current bull, distrusted since it began in March 2009 after the worst stock plunge since the Great Depression, is 2,684 days young, S&P Dow Jones Indices says. Not bad given that critics say its 220% gain has been artificially inflated by central bank stimulus and cheap-money policies. But this bull, despite the naysayers, could continue to exceed expectations.

“It has a chance if it doesn’t become over-loved,” says Ann Miletti, lead portfolio manager at Wells Capital Management. She

How to prolong this bull For the current bull to outlive the 1990s bull, four things have to happen, says John Augustine, chief investment officer at The Huntington National Bank:

1.

The U.S. economy must avoid a recession. (The U.S. economy went 10 years without a recession from March 1991 to March 2001, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, a period of economic prosperity that coincided with nearly all of the ’90s bull market.)

2.

3.

The Fed must hold off on interest rate hikes until late 2016 or early 2017.

The U.S. profits recession — which began in the third quarter of 2015 — has to end as scheduled in this year’s third quarter. (A big difference between the market peak last May and now, Augustine points out, is the S&P 500’s profit recession was just beginning but now Wall Street sees profits soon turning positive.)

4.

The U.S. political outcome in November must reflect the “optimism of America” — not the negativism of the primary season.

gives the current bull a “better than 60% chance” of one day becoming the longest ever. “It has been a slow growth market for a long time and a bumpy ride along the way. But that has also meant that expectations have remained tempered and valuations have

BAYER BOOSTS ITS BID TO ACQUIRE MONSANTO Bayer sweetened its offer for seed and pesticide maker Monsanto, which had rejected a previous bid. Germany-based Bayer’s new offer is $125 per share, up from $122, which equaled a $62 billion offer at the time. Shares of Monsanto rose 3.1% to close at $104.22 — still 16.5% lower than the offer price.

been kept in check, which is a good setup for longevity.”

The subpar pace of U.S. growth since the end of the Great Recession seven years ago could also work in the bull’s favor, keeping the economy from overheating.

The run could go another eight

to 13 years, says Brian Belski, chief investment strategist at BMO Capital Markets. He’s voicing short-term caution because the S&P 500 is trading about 3% above his year-end target of 2,100 but is sticking to his call for a “secular” bull market that could last a total 15 to 20 years.

Belski says improving U.S. business conditions will trump years of market “fear” driven by “emotions not analysis.” Cash, he says, is coming back to U.S. assets, including stocks, after years of money chasing commodities and emerging market investments.

The great migration out of bonds and back into stocks has not occurred yet, but will, he predicts.

Belski is advising clients to position their portfolios for “what is coming next: a recovery in U.S. growth.” High-quality, brandname U.S. companies should do well, he says.

Wall Street skeptics and bears don’t buy it. It’s unlikely everything will go right for the market in the next two years and that it will be able to avoid a drop of 20%, counters Axel Merk, chief investment officer at Merk Investments. “In a fairy tale world, we will never have a bear market again,” Merk says. “To me, this feels eerily like 2000.”

But this time Merk’s concern centers around the U.S. government bond market, which is as pricey as it ever has been. Another concern: Many overseas sovereign bonds sport negative yields.

Also working against the bulls: U.S. stocks aren’t cheap. The S&P 500 is trading at 17 times estimated earnings for the forward four quarters, above the long-term average of around 15. Global economic growth is slowing. That means the economy and corporate earnings must rebound to justify the valuations, Joy says.

What else has to go right? The Federal Reserve, which has held off on interest rate hikes this year, must keep its word and avoid snuffing out the economic rebound or stock rally by hiking rates too far, too fast. The fallout from Britain’s vote to exit the European Union must be less onerous than feared. China’s economy can’t collapse. The world’s central bankers, which are nearly out of ammunition to fight the next downturn, can’t lose credibility with investors. And the U.S. presidential candidates also can’t keep saying things that spook markets.

“In a fairy tale world, we will never have a bear market again.

To me, this feels eerily like 2000.”

More troubles for Google: New set of antitrust charges Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

Google has been hit with more charges from the European Commission, adding to the antitrust headaches the Internet giant is facing in Europe.

This time Europe’s antitrust regulator is taking closer aim at Google’s lucrative search advertising business, which generated more than 90% of its revenue last year.

In a “statement of objections,” the European Commission accused Google of restricting competition by limiting the ability of rivals to place search ads on third party websites.

The stakes are high. Google could face fines as high as 10% of the company’s global revenue, which totaled $75 billion last year.

It could be forced to make changes to the way it conducts its business in the European Union, from the money it makes from online search in Europe to the prominent placement of its services and apps on mobile devices.

The European Commission SAN FRANCISCO

JOHN THYS, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

EU Commissioner of Competition Margrethe Vestager has been targeting Google’s activities in the European Union, where it has about 90% of the online search market. New charges were filed Thursday.

also issued additional charges to support its case that Google favors its own shopping service by prominently displaying its shopping results over those of competitors.

“It is our preliminary view that both aspects break EU competition law,” EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager said.

“If Google’s rivals believe that

their services will never be as visible as Google’s, no matter how good they are, that could discourage them from investing in better services,” Vestager said in a speech.

Google responded by saying its products “have increased choice for European consumers and promote competition.”

“We’ll examine the Commission’s renewed cases and provide a detailed response in the coming weeks,” Google said in an emailed statement.

Vestager has been targeting Google’s activities in the European Union, where it has about 90% of the online search market.

“We’ve taken action in that case because we believe it’s the best way to give consumers more choice, and to make sure Internet businesses keep investing in better products,” she said.

The new round of charges are in addition to another Google already faces: that it abuses the dominance of its Android mobile operating system. Google has vigorously denied any wrongdoing.

Investors are shrugging off the news. Shares of parent Alphabet were up about 1% Thursday to close at $735.80.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

Small stocks have posted the biggest gains in the post-Brexit rally, a sign investors are again embracing risk-taking after the United Kingdom vote to exit the European Union put a big scare into them.

Since the June 27 low following the two-day Brexit downdraft, the small-company Russell 2000 index has gained 10.3%, outpacing the tech-dominated Nasdaq (up 9.6%), the large-cap Standard & Poor’s 500 (up 8.2%) and Dow Jones industrial average (up 8%).

The small-cap stock rally also is being driven by the fact most smaller companies have a domestic focus, which means earnings won’t be derailed by overseas turbulence. Growing signs that cen-

David Schiegoleit, senior VP and managing director of investments at the private client reserve at US Bank in Los Angeles, outlines two key reasons why small stocks have led post-Brexit: uRisk-on trades have permeated stocks. Pro-cyclical sectors (or stocks that benefit when bankers are taking steps to boost the economy) have benefited most, he says. “Small cap stocks are generally at the ‘tip of the spear’ in pro-cyclical rallies,” Schiegoleit told USA TODAY. uInterest rates have fallen dramatically. “Small-cap companies are generally more sensitive to borrowing costs as compared to large-cap stocks,” he said. “The lower rates make capital cheaper for small companies.”

Secret is out, and that could affect future dividends Q: Is J.M. Smucker a bit tastier now?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: J.M. Smucker knew exactly how to sweeten its stock to investors: Boost its dividend. But analysts are warning the stock is already fully priced.

The food company this week announced a 12% boost to its quarterly dividend to 75 cents a share. Given the popularity of dividends in the market, due to low returns and also low interest rates, the boost is welcome.

Shares of J.M. Smucker already were red-hot due to the company’s stablility and membership in the defensive consumer staples sector. Shares are up more than 40% over the past 12 months while the broad market is up only about 2%.

Shares were trading for more than $150 Thursday, meaning the stock is yielding 2% on an ongoing basis.

Analysts are bullish on the company’s growth prospects. J.M. Smucker’s adjusted quarterly profit is expected to grow 6.3% this fiscal year and another nearly 10% in fiscal 2017, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

For a company in the stable food business, seeing a 11.4% long-term growth forecast, plus a market-matching dividend is appealing. The trouble is Smucker isn’t a secret anymore. The stock is trading for more than 26 times its historical earnings. Analysts think the stock is worth $147.50 in 18 months, lower than its current price.

Court says ignition-switch lawsuits against GM can proceed Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

General Motors cannot avoid lawsuits from pre-bankruptcy ignition-switch defect victims, a federal court ruled Wednesday.

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a bankruptcy judge’s ruling that had protected GM from those lawsuits because of the company’s 2009 bankruptcy restructuring.

The ruling gives new life to hundreds of lawsuits from potential victims, including some who

PATRICK SMITH FOR USA TODAY

The court ruled GM knew or should have known about the ignitionswitch defect. The company has acknowledged it failed to fix the defect for more than a decade.

refused to accept settlements and instead took their chances in court. It also gives life to lawsuits

from potential victims whom GM refused to offer deals and to classaction lawsuits by consumers who claim their vehicle values fell because of the scandal.

Accordingly, it may expose the so-called New GM to new liabilities for a defect that killed at least 124 people and injured 275 in small cars made by the Old GM, such as the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion. GM shares rose 0.4% Thursday, closing at $30.76.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys who have battled the automaker in court quickly hailed the decision.

“I was so relieved for my cli-

ents,” Texas attorney Robert Hilliard said in an interview. “For years many of the victims of the GM ignition switch have had their claims languishing in bankruptcy court. These folks will have their day in court.”

Victims who qualified for settlements — based on the determination of GM-hired independent compensation fund chief Kenneth Feinberg — have already received settlements from GM totaling at least $595 million. In many cases, those settlements topped $1 million, with some deals much higher.

“We are reviewing the ruling

and its impact,” GM spokesman Jim Cain said in a statement.

“Even if some claims are ultimately allowed to proceed, the plaintiffs must still prove their cases.”

The central question for the court was whether GM’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy protected it from ignition-switch claims that arose before it petitioned the court for protection from its creditors. GM failed to disclose the defect during its bankruptcy, giving rise to the dispute over whether victims were given adequate opportunity to seek compensation during the bankruptcy case.

The commercial broadcast networks again were mostly sidelined in top categories as voters continued to embrace streaming and cable outlets. ABC was the prime beneficiary in major categories for Black-ish and limited series American Crime, and Henson and Will Forte of Last Man on Earth earned nods for Fox. The miniseries category is among the most competitive this year, with O.J. facing its own network’s Fargo, ABC’s American Crime, AMC’s The Night Manager and History’s Roots remake. But O.J. is pegged by awards prognosticators as a top contender as Paulson, Gooding and Vance were joined by supporting actors John Travolta, Sterling K. Brown and David Schwimmer facing off in the supporting-actor category.

HBO, as usual, topped the tally with 94 (but was down from last year’s 126), followed by FX with 56 and Netflix with 54.

The awards will be televised live Sept. 18 on ABC, with Jimmy Kimmel as host.

Chain fabric store may be coming Jo-Ann Fabric likely to occupy Hancock site

T

here’s a lot I don’t understand about fabric or sewing. I have no idea why a stitch in time saves nine or how the heck the needle got in the haystack. And don’t even get me started about why the only thing my wife will sew me is a ski mask. Regardless, I do have speculation to share about a new chain fabric store coming to town.

Town Talk

clawhorn@ljworld.com

When I reported in April that Hancock Fabric would be closing its Lawrence store near 27th and Iowa streets, I told you I would pass along any information about a possible replacement for the fabric and sewing store. Well, I still haven’t heard any official word on a replacement for the store, but the folks at Hancock Fabrics are telling customers that the large chain of Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores is coming to the Lawrence market.

When I inquired at the Hancock store, an employee

there freely told me that JoAnn has told store employees that the company has made a decision to locate in Lawrence, but hasn’t yet finalized a specific location for the store. The employee told me the company has said Hancock’s current location in the shopping center at the northwest corner of 27th and Iowa streets is a strong possibility, but the store site may not be as large as Jo-Ann would like.

I put a call into a spokeswoman with Jo-Ann’s corporate headquarters but have not yet heard back.

So, at the moment, this

should be categorized as unconfirmed but widely circulating speculation.

There could be any number of reasons that Jo-Ann wants the community to believe it will be locating in Lawrence, but it also would make sense that the retailer plans to come to town.

The Ohio-based chain describes itself as the “largest specialty retailer of fabrics and crafts.” It has about 850 stores in 49 states, and already operates in the Topeka and Kansas City markets. If Jo-Ann does come to Lawrence, it may end up being a larger

store than what Hancock offered. Company data on several business websites reported that the smallformat stores for Jo-Ann average about 15,000 square feet, and its large format stores are closer to 35,000 square feet. Hancock averaged about 13,000 square feet, and I’m not sure the Lawrence store checks in with that much space.

According to its website, Jo-Ann stores seem to have an inventory that stretches quite a bit beyond sewing and fabrics. The site lists scrapbooking supplies, painting supplies, jewelry

making items, baking accessories and several other categories.

As for Hancock Fabrics, the Lawrence store is still open. Store employees said they haven’t been given a date for the store to close, but they expect it to be soon. A message on the store’s phone estimated the store would close in midJuly. Inventory is now being reduced by 50 percent to 80 percent, according to the message.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Black eager to earn increased minutes Many NBA players would look back at a sixmonth-long season that included merely 104 shot attempts with contempt.

Tarik Black isn’t wired that way, though.

During the young center’s second season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he only played in 39 games, logging just 12.7 minutes off the bench in those sparse appearances. But the former Kansas big man, who this sumBlack mer agreed to a twoyear deal to stay with L.A., thinks his trials should only help him.

“You can look at the negatives. You can look at the positives. I choose to look at the positives from every situation,” Black told the Los Angeles Daily News.

“The positives of that was it built my character.”

Under former Lakers coach Byron Scott, Black saw his playing time with L.A. drop by about 9.0 minutes a game from the 21.7 he averaged as a rookie.

Of course, his productivity took a hit, too. Black’s scoring with the Lakers went from 7.2 points a game in 2014-15 to 3.4 this past season, while his rebounding numbers dipped from 6.3 an outing to 4.0.

Still, Black prefers to plow ahead in his career with a minutes-half-full approach.

“It taught me so much and prepared me to be the player I’m going to be moving forward,” Black said. “I definitely learned patience and perseverance. It’s tough mentally to still work hard in all situations. Throughout the season, I continued to work and always stayed competitive when I got on the floor.”

What else would you expect from a guy who drove from L.A. to Las Vegas earlier this week just to support his young Lakers teammates at the NBA’s Summer League?

Black’s character and work ethic figure to serve him well as the Lakers try to change course, under new coach Luke Walton.

When Black, a 6-foot-9 big, reached a deal to stay with the Lakers, an increased role next season seemed implied. At the very least, the 24-year-old backup has a pretty good idea of what he’s getting into with the new regime.

As Black told the Daily News, he already had a good relationship with Walton, from their days together with the Memphis Tigers. Walton served as an assistant one season during Black’s time there, before the sturdy post player transferred to KU. In fact, Black said he has kept in touch with Walton since.

That relationship had to

Wiggins recalls time at KU with fondness

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Andrew Wiggins, who spent just one year in college, figures to be a walking, talking advertisement for Kansas University’s basketball program for some time to come.

“College will always be my favorite time, my best time in my life,” the 21-year-old Wiggins, who has completed two seasons with the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, said

Thursday in his first appearance in the area since August 2014 when he co-hosted a camp with KU coach Bill Self at Shawnee Mission West High School.

This time, he’s co-hosting camp at Sports Pavilion Lawrence with former KU standout Ben McLemore of the Sacramento Kings.

“Just being on the campus, hanging out with my friends and everybody else, the games, the fieldhouse,

everything ... it was amazing. (I don’t know if there’s) anything that compares to it.

Nothing beats it; it can only tie,” Wiggins added.

The 6-foot-8, 200-pounder said he gained a lot of knowledge in 2013-14, when he averaged a team-leading 17.1 points a game for the (25-10) Jayhawks.

“College teaches fundamentals and the basics of the game. Coach (Bill) Self taught me a lot, whether it was help-

side on defense, cutting without the basketball. There’s a lot of different things. Even getting at it defensively. He always challenged me to do better and be better,” stated Wiggins, who said he talks often with Self and KU assistant Kurtis Townsend as well as some of his former teammates.

“We always stay in touch,” Wiggins said.

KU tapped last, but it’s not unanimous

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When the results of the 2016 preseason Big 12 football media poll were released on Thursday, it came as no surprise that Oklahoma was the overwhelming favorite to win the conference, securing 258 points and 24 of 26 first-place votes.

What did come as a surprise, however, popped up at the opposite end of the poll, where the KanPlease see SMITH, page 3D sas Jayhawks were voted

last but not in unanimous fashion.

KU finished a distant 10th in the voting, earning 27 points compared to 59 for ninth-place Iowa State.

But simple math indicates that exactly one member of the Big 12 media contingent that voted in the poll picked the Jayhawks to finish ninth instead of 10th during David Beaty’s second season as KU’s head coach.

That’s 25 points for lastplace nods from 25 of the 26 voters and two more for

a ninth-place vote of confidence from voter No. 26.

This year marked the sixth consecutive season that Kansas football was picked last in the Big 12 preseason poll.

Since the inception of the conference in 1996, which began as a 12-team league with a north and south division, the Jayhawks now have been picked to finish at the bottom of the conference or their division 10 times.

Iowa State, which will be under the guidance of firstyear coach Matt Campbell,

hired this offseason to replace the fired Paul Rhoads, has been picked last eight times.

This year, however, the Cyclones finished one spot in front of KU after landing two players on the preseason all-Big 12 offense, running back Mike Warren and wide receiver Allen Lazard.

Kansas State, which was picked to finish eighth by the media, landed five players on the preseason all-Big Please see FOOTBALL, page 3D

Rory McIlroy said he expected to watch some of the Rio Olympics on television but didn’t think golf would be among the sports he chose.

“Track and field, swimming, diving … the stuff that matters,” McIlroy said.

McIlroy could be watching the Olympic tournament from tee to green if he wanted, but he, along with a number of top professionals, has elected to skip Rio. Like most of the other golfers who have declined spots on their country’s Olympic roster — including Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, and Jordan Speith, the other three on golf’s current Mount Rushmore — McIlroy cited health fears related to the mosquitoborne Zika virus.

It’s a reasonable concern, even though it is winter in Brazil and the incidence of mosquitoes is relatively low, and a concern shared by athletes from all Olympic sports.

Funny thing, though, almost all of the others are slathering up with repellent and going.

That’s because for most athletes who qualify, the Olympics mean something. They play “the stuff that matters.”

As of now, the Olympic golf competition, which will be held Aug. 11-14, has a strength of field comparable to a middle-of-the-road PGA tour stop.

Seven of the top 15 players in the world won’t be there, including No. 8 Adam Scott, who referred to a tournament that offers the chance to win an Olympic gold medal as “an exhibition.” Well, OK, then.

The world’s top golfers did not vote to add their sport to the Olympic program, so perhaps their lack of interest shouldn’t be held against them.

That decision to add golf was made by the International Olympic Committee, which did so for the only reason it does anything: money.

It isn’t easy being the most corrupt international sports organization — not with competition from the likes of FIFA, the governing body of soccer; the IAAF, the governing body of track and field; and the International Skating Union — but the IOC wins the prize every time. Merely awarding the Games to Rio, which has problems a lot bigger than mosquitoes, was a typical IOC joke. The Brazilian bid was rated well behind those of the other three finalists (Chicago, Tokyo, Madrid) by the IOC’s own assessment committee, but when the delegates voted, they voted not with what was in their heads, but, in keeping with Olympic tradition, with what had been placed in their pants pockets.

The IOC likes to lure in sponsorship, and where there is golf, there is usually money.

So the sport was added to the program for Rio. It is the same reason tennis was added, the same reason professionals were allowed to play soccer (1984) and basketball (1992), and the same reason volleyball players now wear swimsuits and BMX cycling has become somehow necessary for a successful Olympic Games.

It is unlikely I would be consulted on this, but the Olympics could be run efficiently in a week or so. It should be a track meet, a swimming and diving meet, a rowing regatta, a gymnastics meet, and a marathon, with some minor sports — contested by athletes for whom a gold medal holds meaning — tossed into the mix.

BRITAIN’S CHRIS FROOME, WEARING THE OVERALL LEADER’S YELLOW JERSEY RUNS WITH HIS BIKE Thursday after a crash at the end of the 12th stage of the Tour de France cycling race. The wind, combined with a temperature just above the freezing level on top of the “Giant of Provence,” forced organizers to move the finish line six kilometers (3.7 miles) down the road to the Chalet Reynard.

Mont Ventoux, France — On Bastille Day, fans created havoc at the Tour de France like never before.

Storming the road on France’s national day, the crowd prompted a crash involving race leader Chris Froome and it wasn’t until hours after the wacky 12th stage concluded that organizers decided the British rider could keep the yellow jersey.

“Mont Ventoux always throws up something different and today was no exception,” Froome said. “You always have to expect the unexpected at the Tour.”

In a complete embarrassment for cycling’s biggest race, Richie Porte crashed headfirst into a motorbike carrying a TV camera, and Froome, who was right behind his former teammate, also hit the pavement in the final kilometer on the wind-shortened climb up legendary Mont Ventoux.

“The crowd was just all on the road, and a motorbike stopped right in front of us and we had nowhere to go,” Porte said. “The next minute, I went straight over the top of the motorbike. It was just a mess.”

Last week, Froome punched the face of a spectator who got too close to the race.

“I agree that you come to the race, you have a good time, but you don’t need to be running beside the riders, you don’t need to hitting riders, pushing riders,” said Porte, who was being examined for possible injuries. “Things have got to change, and I can’t believe there weren’t barriers there.”

The wind prevented organizers from erecting the usual barriers at the end of most stages, Tour director Christian Prudhomme explained.

“We took an exceptional decision because of this exceptional situation, an incident that might have never happened before in 100 years,” Prudhomme said. “There will be an investigation to find out why the TV motorbike was blocked and the riders fell.”

After the crash, Froome threw his mangled bike aside and began running up the road. He eventually was given a small yellow race assistance bike before his team car was finally able to provide him with a suitable substitute.

All of Froome’s main rivals crossed ahead of him, and Froome shook his head in disbelief when he finally reached the finish.

“It’s really unfortunate what happened in the last couple of kilometers,” Froome said, “but ultimately common sense has prevailed and the commissaires have come to the right decision, so I would like to thank them for that.”

As Froome ran through the crowds, he attempted to communicate with his team via radio but the crowds prevented the Team Sky car from reaching him.

“It was a nightmare,” Sky sports director Nicolas Portal said. “It took up to two minutes for him to get a spare bike but the pedals did not suit him. ... I can’t understand how so many people were allowed there. It was mayhem.”

Before the crash, Froome dropped most of his rivals apart from Porte and Bauke Mollema.

The race jury eventually decided to give Froome and Porte the same stage time as Mollema.

Still, Froome was booed and whistled at when he put the yellow jersey back on during the podium ceremony.

Froome, who is seeking his third Tour title in four years, increased his overall lead to 47 seconds ahead of fellow British rider Adam Yates.

Two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana was third, 54 seconds behind, and Mollema moved up to fourth, 56 seconds back.

“I wouldn’t want to take the jersey like this.

I’m happy with the decision,” said Yates, who was initially given the race leadership according to preliminary results. “(Froome) is the rightful owner of the yellow jersey.

“If anyone was in the same situation they would feel the same. Nobody wants to take the yellow jersey like that. You want to take it with

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

your legs. There’s not many sports where the fans can get this close to the athletes like this.

It is what it is.”

Thomas De Gendt won the stage after getting into an early breakaway and easily sprinting past fellow Belgian Serge Pauwels on the steep slopes of Ventoux.

“There were too many people in the last kilometer,” De Gendt said. “There was not even a place for one motorbike. They should do something about it.”

With the wind at 125 kph (nearly 80 mph) on top of the “Giant of Provence,” organizers moved the finish line six kilometers (31⁄2 miles) down the road to the Chalet Reynard.

The race’s first time trial comes today with a hilly 37.5-kilometer (23-mile) leg from BourgSaint-Andeol to La Caverne du Pont-D’Arc, where Froome will be looking to add to his lead in calmer circumstances.

Dale Jr. scratched at N.H. Loudon, N.H. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. has dropped out of the Sprint Cup race Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway because of symptoms of a concussion.

Earnhardt was evaluated in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week and doctors did not clear him to race. Hendrick Motorsports said Thursday it had no timetable for his return.

Alex Bowman will drive in his place.

NASCAR’s most popular driver, Earnhardt was involved in a 22-car wreck in Daytona this month and also wrecked last month at Michigan International Speedway. He says he was feeling fine last week and thought the problem was allergies. When that didn’t help, he met with a neurologist.

Earlier this year, Earnhardt pledged his brain to researchers looking into the connection between concussions and traumatic brain injuries.

“I’m looking forward to treatment with the goal of getting back in the race car when the doctors say I’m ready,” Earnhardt said.

Earnhardt Jr. at least twice in his career hid concussion symptoms to avoid being removed from his car. In 2012, he sought medical attention several days after a crash at Talladega because of symptoms he knew were concussion-related. During that examination, it was determined he’d suffered two concussions in six weeks and was sidelined for two weeks of healing.

NBA

Spurs sign Gasol, Ginobili San Antonio — The San Antonio Spurs signed Pau Gasol, beefing up a front line that will be without Tim Duncan next season for the first time in 19 years. They brought back guard Manu Ginobili, too.

The 7-foot Gasol has won two NBA titles and is a six-time All-Star. Gasol is one of six players in NBA history to reach 19,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocks, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Kevin Garnett and Duncan, who retired earlier this week.

The Spurs did not release terms Thursday, but a person with knowledge of the situation previously told The Associated Press that he has a two-year deal worth more than $30 million.

The 36-year-old Gasol has been one of the league’s most talented and versatile big men for the last 15 years. He spent the last two seasons in Chicago and averaged 16.5 points, 11.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists this year, his game showing few signs of aging. An unselfish player, he should fit right in with Gregg Popovich’s ball-moving system, and the Spurs’ reputation for resting players for the playoffs had to be appealing to Gasol.

Ginobili, a four-time champion with the Spurs, will return for his 15th season.

Mickelson fires 63, Woodland 69 Troon, Scotland (ap) — Phil Mickelson was 16 feet away from a place in history he wouldn’t have to share with anyone.

Fans watched from a rooftop balcony. Royal Troon members strained to see out the window from the clubhouse behind the 18th green. Jack Nicklaus usually doesn’t watch golf on TV, but he made an exception for this moment.

In 436 majors held over the last 156 years, no one had ever shot 62.

That’s still the case. By a fraction of an inch.

“I want to cry,” Mickelson said.

Patrick Reed and Martin Kaymer each shot 66 and were tied for second place, three strokes back.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland opened with a 2-under 69 and was tied for 22nd place.

Mickelson pointed his putter toward the hole and was ready to step into history Thursday in the British Open when his birdie putt turned sharply to the right at the mouth of the hole, just enough to ride the edge around the back of the cup and sit there, teasing him.

“You made a beautiful read and putt on that last

hole but got absolutely stone-cold robbed,” Jack Nicklaus said in a message on Facebook.

Mickelson plopped his hand on his forehead in disbelief. His caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, was so stunned that he fell over backward.

“It was one of the best rounds I’ve ever played ... and yet I want to shed a tear right now,” Mickelson said. “That putt on 18 was an opportunity to do something historical.

I knew it, and with a foot to go I thought I had done it. I saw that ball rolling right in the center. I went to go get it. I had that surge of adrenaline that I had just shot 62, and then I had the heartbreak that I didn’t.”

No tears were necessary at Royal Troon, not after a round of 63 that was brilliant even by Lefty’s standards, and certainly not after building a three-shot lead over Reed and Kaymer on an ideal day by the Irish Sea. Mickelson seized the moment with a birdie on the par-5 16th from a bunker short of the green, and a 4-iron to 15 feet for birdie on the par-3 17th to reach 8-under par. He knew no one had ever

PHIL MICKELSON PLAYS OUT OF A BUNKER on the 16th hole during the first round of the British Open. Mickelson shot an 8-under 63 on Thursday at Royal Troon in Troon, Scotland. shot 62 in a major. He also knew he most likely would never get a chance like this.

“That would have been really something special,” he said. “So to have that putt lip out, that’s going to sting for a while.”

Even with such a close call, Mickelson is in good company.

Nicklaus missed a putt just inside 3 feet for a 62 in the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol. Greg Norman had to only two-putt from 30 feet for a 62 at Turnberry in the 1986

British Open and took three putts. Tiger Woods watched his 15-foot putt for 62 spin 270 degrees around the cup in the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Nick Price’s birdie putt for a 62 in the 1986 Masters dipped in and out of the cup.

Asked why there had never been a 62 in the major, Mickelson pointed to his putt.

“There’s a curse,” he said. “Because that ball should have been in.”

It wasn’t for a lack of

effort. He went with a 6-iron to play a baby cut back toward the hole, and it worked out perfectly.

He brought in his caddie and told him that “I need your best read.” Ernie Els did his part, putting out of turn to turn the stage over to Mickelson.

The pace was perfect.

The putt looked perfect — until it wasn’t. By a fraction.

“I saw that ball going in and I just had a good, clear vision of what was going to happen,” he said.

“What I didn’t see was what happened.”

And now, he faces a return to reality.

Of the seven previous players to open with a 63 in a major, only Nicklaus at the 1980 U.S. Open and Raymond Floyd at the 1982 PGA Championship went on to win.

Royal Troon might not be this gentle the rest of the week. The forecast was for strong wind and rain for Friday, especially when Mickelson and Kaymer play in the morning. Lefty was ready to embrace whatever came his way.

“One of the biggest challenges is when you shoot a round like this, you start expectations running through your

BRIEFLY Kansas softball adds two players Kansas University’s softball team added two players Thursday: transfer Sarah Miller and freshman Zara Voulgaris.

Miller, a pitcher, played two seasons for Binghamton. She was named second-team All-America East and was selected to the America East alltournament team during her sophomore year. Miller finished the 2016 season 7-1 in conference play with a 2.89 ERA and tied for second in the league in overall victories with 15. She tossed a no-hitter during non-conference action against Niagara on March 31.

Voulgaris, an infielder, attended Lockport Township High School in Lockport, Ill. As a senior, Voulgaris batted .354 with 17 hits, including five doubles and two home runs.

Thompson 4 back at Web.com event Springfield, Ill. — Lawrence resident and former Kansas University golfer Chris Thompson shot a 3-under-par 68 Thursday and is in a 24way tie for 40th place, four strokes off the lead shared by five golfers, in the Lincoln Land Charity Championship. The Web. com tournament is being played at Panther Creek Country Club.

Thompson averaged 297.5 yards per drive and carded an eagle on the par5 seventh hole.

help Black feel great about his chances moving forward. And it had to make it easier to have an honest conversation with his new head coach.

The Daily News reported Black spoke candidly with Walton about his role for the upcoming season.

“I don’t ask to be given anything. I just ask for a fair shot,” Black related.

“If I earn something, give it to me.”

Walton’s response?

“I respect that, appreciate that and will honor that,” Black shared.

head and so forth, and that’s the one thing that I’ll have to try to suppress and hold off,” he said.

“We’ll have three more rounds. We’ll have varying conditions tomorrow.

It’s going to be very difficult.”

Eight Americans were among the top 11 on the leaderboard at Royal Troon, where they have won the Open the last six times. That group included Steve Stricker, the 49-year-old in his first major this year, and Justin Thomas, the 23-yearold in his first British Open.

Defending champion Zach Johnson had a chance to shoot 63 if he birdied the last two holes.

He went bogey-bogey for a 67.

But this day was all about Mickelson, who never seriously came close to making bogey.

He missed only three greens and two fairways, one on the 18th when he switched to a 3-wood and, realizing what was at stake, sent his shot toward a pot bunker.

It bounced just far enough left to avoid it.

It looked as though everything was going his way. Right until the final inch.

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES GUARD AND FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY STANDOUT Andrew Wiggins completes a 360 dunk before a line of basketball campers during his and Ben McLemore’s Kansas All-Star Basketball Camp on Thursday at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

Wiggins

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft says he’s looking forward to seeing his former KU teammate, Joel Embiid, make his NBA debut during the upcoming 2016-17 season. Embiid, who was selected third in the 2014 draft, is expected to finally be healthy and play in games.

“I think he can come in and impact the game instantly,” Wiggins said.

“He could have done that the first year, but unfortunately he wasn’t healthy (foot surgery).

He’s getting back to it.

Hopefully he can play this year, and when he comes in he’ll take the league by storm.”

There are high hopes for the Timberwolves, following the hiring of former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau.

Karl-Anthony Towns, like Wiggins, is a rookie of the year winner, with the likes of Ricky Rubio,

Zach LaVine, Gorgui Dieng, Shabazz Muhammad and current first-round pick Kris Dunn also on the roster.

“The main thing for me is making the playoffs with my team,” Wiggins said. “We’ve got a nice young core, new additions. We’re looking forward to a bright future.”

The Wolves have also added former KU players Cole Aldrich and Brandon Rush in free agency.

“It’s wonderful,” Wiggins said. “I’ve got more than one Jayhawk on the team now. The best thing about it is now we get to play in Sprint Center, preseason (Oct. 8 vs. Miami). We get to play in front of the home crowd.

I’m looking forward to it.

I’m excited. I know they (Rush, Aldrich) are excited, too.”

Members of KU’s current team figure to be in the stands for that one, including top-rated pros-

Summer league: Former KU guard Brannen Greene had no points with two turnovers in four minutes in Memphis’ 89-85 loss to Minnesota on Thursday in NBA summer-league action in Las Vegas. … Kelly Oubre scored 22 points off 8-of18 shooting (3-of-6 from three) in Washington’s 71-60 win over Atlanta. …

Perry Ellis had two points off 1-of-7 shooting with one rebound in 10 minutes in an 86-73 loss to Chicago.

KU did not have any players named on the preseason all-Big 12 first team.

this season, the rest of the conference standings seemed harder to predict.

Second-place TCU, which earned 222 points and the other two firstplace votes, and sev-

enth-place West Virginia (126) were separated by less than 100 points, with Oklahoma State (202), Baylor (156), Texas (151) and Texas Tech (141) rounding out third through sixth.

He earned NBA rookie of the year honors in 2015 after averaging 16.9 points per game (off 43.7 percent shooting; 31 percent from three) then improved to 20.7 ppg (off 45.9 percent shooting; 30 from three) in his second year as a pro.

Looking back, Wiggins said he wishes he’d fared better during his one-and-done season in which KU won the Big 12 regular-season title, then lost in the second round of the Big 12 tournament and second round of the NCAAs. “I feel I could have done a lot more things on the floor. I think I depended on a lot of different stuff in college, whereas in the NBA it’s a lot different,” Wiggins said.

pect Josh Jackson, a 6-8, 207-pound wing who has been compared to Wiggins.

“He’s an energized guy.

He can play,” said Wiggins, who once worked with Jackson at a camp in California. “He can score the ball. He’s long.

He can defend. He’s big.

He has the type of game that translates well to the NBA.” l

Be sure to look both ways before crossing Vermont Street between 7th and 9th streets tonight. You don’t want to wander into a full-blown bike sprint.

Truthfully, the barricades, spectators, 2016 Tour of Lawrence signage and, you know, bike riders careening down the road should keep downtown pedestrians perfectly safe as professional and amateur cyclists compete on the first night of the annual summer event.

The eighth installment of the Tour of Lawrence begins with 200-meter street sprints tonight at 6:30, but that’s just the beginning.

Much longer, more grueling Pro Am cycling races await the more than 750 anticipated entrants this weekend. Twelve different races, with competitors in the men’s and women’s divisions ranging in ages from 15 to 60plus, will take over much of Haskell Indian Nations University’s campus Saturday, between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. The HINU Campus Criterium races will transport cyclists from the starting line on Indian Avenue, up toward 23rd Street, south along the Burroughs Creek/Haskell Rail Trail, northward on Perimeter Road and back again.

The three days of competition culminate Sunday, back downtown, with 13 start times between 8 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. The Downtown Criterium course begins and ends at 9th and Massachusetts, traversing between 7th and 10th streets, along portions of New Hampshire and Vermont, as well.

DEFENDING WORLD SERIES CHAMPION KANSAS CITY AND ALL-STAR GAME MVP Eric Hosmer face an uphill climb as baseball’s second half begins.

Royals’ climb in the offing?

By Ben Walker AP Baseball Writer

David Ortiz is set to get booed at Yankee Stadium, Chris Sale is ready to resume striking out Kris Bryant, and the Kansas City Royals are facing a rugged road back to the playoffs.

Now that the All-Star fun is finished, a look at what’s on deck as majorleague baseball makes the turn and heads home toward October:

Pennant push All eyes will be on Joe Maddon and his Cubs as they chase their first World Series crown since 1908.

They’re in prime position so far — Jake Arrieta, Bryant and Co. hold the biggest lead at the break, up seven games over St. Louis in the NL Central.

The Cubs have never won a title while at Wrigley Field. All those past failures? “That’s something we don’t really discuss very often,” Arrieta said.

Only one division race closer than five games: The AL East, with Baltimore up two on Boston and Toronto.

Ortiz got a lot of love this week, but what Big Papi really wants is one more swing in the postseason. The Red Sox begin the second half Friday night in the steamy Bronx.

Quite a scramble is shaping up for wild-card spots — 18 teams are within five games of the slots.

World Series MVP Salvador Perez, All-Star Game MVP Eric Hosmer and the defending champ Royals are hovering at 45-43.

Deal or no deal Will Aroldis Chapman soon be closing somewhere else? Can Jonathan Lucroy catch on with a contender? How about

Carlos Gonzalez? Could Drew Pomeranz or Jake Odorizzi be starting a new chapter?

Plenty to track before the Aug. 1 deadline to make trades without waivers. Last year, a lot of big names moved in the final week — Yoenis Cespedes, Johnny Cueto and Troy Tulowitzki, among them.

This year, several elite teams need bullpen help.

The Yankees have two of the top targets in Chapman and Andrew Miller.

A few more wins might quiet all the trade noise, Miller said.

“We can shut down those rumors, and I think that’s the goal. That’s what need to do. That’s what we should do,” the lefty said.

Heal or no heal Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Craig Kimbrel come out of the break on the disabled list, as do Felix Hernandez, Michael Brantley and several Texas pitchers.

How fast the likes of Jordan Zimmermann, Wade Davis, Matt Carpenter and others can effectively come back might determine how far their teams go.

The defending NL champion Mets had already lost captain David Wright and former ace Matt Harvey for the season and power-hitting Lucas Duda for a long time when slugger Yoenis Cespedes and hardthrowing Noah Syndergaard recently got hurt in the same game.

“I don’t want it to sound like woe is me,” Mets manager Terry Collins said, “but woe is us.”

Step it up!

Andrew McCutchen, Prince Fielder and Giancarlo Stanton are among several stars who slumped through the first half. Jose Bautista, Jason Heyward and Dallas

Keuchel also have been shaky.

All over the majors, All-Stars who haven’t performed that way get 21⁄2 months to return to form.

A big second half by Justin Upton could propel Detroit in the playoff chase, same for Yordano Ventura in KC and Adam Wainwright in St. Louis.

Fly, ball, fly Giancarlo Stanton is done putting dents in the Western Metal Supply Co. building at Petco Park. Time now for mere mortals to swing away.

Home runs are at a point that rivals the peak of the Steroids Era, but Commissioner Rob Manfred isn’t worried that PEDs are juicing performances.

The increase “takes place against the backdrop where Major League Baseball does 22,000 drug tests a year,” he said.

The ball tends to travel when temperatures heat up — former Phillies manager Charlie Manuel used to call this “hittin’ season.”

“It always goes back and forth, and you never know when it’s going to kind of take the swing the other way,” Orioles catcher Matt Wieters said.
