lazing-hot temperatures didn’t seem to keep bargain hunters away from downtown Lawrence Thursday, as thousands of shoppers descended upon Massachusetts Streets and its side streets for the 57th annual Downtown Lawrence Sidewalk Sale.

Nearly 100 businesses participated in this year’s event, which typically lasts from sunup to sundown — or roughly 6 a.m. to 8:45 p.m.

Thursday evening, Sally Zogry, executive director of Downtown Lawrence Inc., reported an attendance “fairly typical” of past sales, though she speculates the muchpublicized excessive heat warning may have kept some shoppers away.

Temperatures edged on 100 degrees Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Kansas City, Kan. — A 20-yearold man was charged Thursday with capital murder in the death of a Kansas police officer fatally shot inside his patrol car while investigating a drive-by shooting, a prosecutor said.

Wyandotte County District Attorney Jerome Gorman said Jamaal R. Lewis fired the shots Tuesday that killed 46-year-old Kansas City, Kan., police Capt. Robert Melton. Lewis also faces charges of aggravated assault and criminal discharge of a weapon from an incident earlier Tuesday.

A second man, 18-year-old DaQon J. Sipple, has been charged with aggravated assault of a law

Voting case to be argued days before primary Associated Press

Topeka — A judge will hear arguments on whether to block the two-tiered voting system in Kansas just days before the primary election.

Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks has set a July 29 hearing in Topeka on the American Civil Liberties Union’s request for a temporary restraining order. The primary is Aug. 2.

The ACLU is challenging

A state board approved that process the day before the start of advanced voting for the primary.

Another judge ruled earlier this year that the right to vote is not tied to the method of registration.

Surprisingly, she says, “People were upbeat.

People were spending,” with some traveling from outside the Lawrence area just to attend the sale.

As in previous years, shoppers were provided cooling stations and free water by vendors. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical personnel were also on hand in case of emergency, Zogry said. To her knowledge, none was reported.

Perennial Sidewalk Sale favorites such as Urban Outfitters, Weaver’s Department Store, Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, Hobbs and Phoenix Gallery seemed to attract the biggest crowds, Zogry noted.

“It’s just a big day for Lawrence,” she said of the sale. “It’s a huge sales tax day, most likely the biggest of the year.”

LAUREN SALKELD, A KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR FROM EDMOND, OKLA., sits within the peach basket of the James Naismith statue in front of the DeBruce Center on Thursday as Braden Wilmes, 8, of Lawrence, takes a photo. The grand opening for the center is scheduled for Saturday.

“That’s one of the most important elements of it, for everyone to understand that we are opening the doors of this building to the extended KU community, to the extended Lawrence community,” said Curtis Marsh, director of the DeBruce Center.

In addition to the rules themselves, the celebration will include familyfriendly activities such as face painting, balloon animals and games. Artifacts from KU’s archives relating to the lives of James Naismith and famed coach Forrest “Phog” Allen will also be on display. The stars of the show, though, are the rules themselves, Marsh said.

“If we are introducing the building to many of the folks that will come on Saturday, the main attraction has to be the original rules display,” Marsh said.

Completed in May, the $21.7 million donorfunded DeBruce Center was built to house the original rules. The rules of “Basket Ball” were handwritten by Naismith across two pages, and are displayed in a

enforcement officer involving a different officer than Melton and with criminal discharge of a weapon.

Lewis and Sipple, both from Kansas City, Kan., have been in custody since Tuesday. It’s unclear whether they have lawyers yet who could comment on the allegations.

They are expected to make their first court appearances in the case today. Bond has been set at $10 million for Lewis and $100,000 for Sipple, Gorman said.

Prosecutors haven’t determined whether to pursue the death penalty against Lewis, Gorman said, adding that it could take months before that decision is made.

Neither defendant has an adult criminal record, the district attorney said.

“Our hearts go out to the Melton family,” Gorman said at a news conference to announce the charges. “And we also want to send those same thoughts out to the entire Kansas City, Kan., law enforcement community and all law enforcement here in the metro area and across the United States.”

Police Chief Terry Zeigler has said Melton appears to have been shot by

Naismith and quotes from former KU basketball players and coaches.

The rules were purchased for $4.3 million at auction in 2010 by KU alumnus David Booth and Suzanne Booth. In addition to the Rules Gallery, the center also includes a cafeteria, gift shop and lounge space.

Melton was shot after police responded to a report of several people in a car firing shots. A vehicle believed to be connected to the gunfire took off as officers arrived, but it crashed into a fence, police have said. Two people were taken into custody just minutes after the wreck.

Melton was alone searching for an additional driveby shooting suspect when he drove up to a person who matched a description of someone possibly involved.

Before the officer could get out of his unmarked police cruiser, he was shot several times through his passenger-side window and died later at a hospital.

Gorman said Thursday that Melton was gunned with rounds from

a .40-caliber handgun that investigators believe they have located. He said Sipple fired seven or eight shots from a 9 mm handgun in the earlier gunfire, which left no one injured.

Lewis was the getaway driver in the earlier shooting, he said.

Melton was a 17-year veteran of the department and also served in the Kansas Army National Guard. He was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan before he retired in 2012, according to the guard.

“Nothing’s ever going to replace, you know, Melton to any of us,” officer Amber Thomas, a department spokeswoman, said Thursday after the news conference. “I mean, it’s a huge hole that’s left in this department.

But it does help to know that those guys aren’t out there to kill somebody else, whether it be a fellow officer or just an innocent bystander.”

Melton’s death is the second fatal shooting of a Kansas City, Kan., police officer this year. On May 9, detective Brad Lancaster was fatally shot near the Kansas Speedway.

Curtis Ayers, of Tonganoxie, is charged with capital murder in Lancaster’s death. Ayers is accused of shooting the detective in Kansas City, Kan., and then fleeing in a car to Missouri, where police shot and wounded Ayers.

The crowd at a town hall meeting held Wednesday to address issues at the Lawrence Community Shelter agreed the gathering was a good first step.

That’s what the shelter’s executive director, Trey Meyer, had hoped it would be, after a series of struggles in the past year. Last summer, the shelter was in an emergency financial situation;

its kitchen was shut down in March; and it was later found to not be complying with a requirement to hold quarterly meetings with its neighbors.

The town hall was an effort to comply with the meetings requirement, which was part of an agreement with the city when the shelter moved from downtown to 3701 Franklin Park Circle in 2012. Another public meeting is scheduled for Please see SHELTER, page 5A

BRIEFLY Caseworker for state contractor sexually coerced mother, suit alleges

olice arrested a man Wednesday after they say he led them on a car chase that ended in a serious two-vehicle crash at the intersection of West Second and McDonald streets.

Patrick Joseph Shanahan, 47, of Olathe, was arrested Wednesday night at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, according to Douglas County Jail booking logs. The incident number listed for his arrest matches the incident number used by the Lawrence Police Department for the chase earlier Wednesday.

Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, Kansas Turnpike authorities alerted Lawrence police to a stolen tag that was recently spotted near

The van drove east on West Second Street and then looped around, backtracking west, Rhoads said. At the intersection of West Second and McDonald, the van hit a four-door car in the intersection.

The van rolled and came to a stop upright, Conrad Swanson Rhoads said.

Shanahan was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital before he was arrested on suspicion of felony flee and elude, possession of stolen property, reckless driving, driving while suspended and driving while intoxicated, Powell said.

Powell did not respond to additional inquiries asking about the conditions of all the other injured parties or whether the other two people in the van will face charges.

Shelter

live near the shelter and others — gathered at Union Pacific Depot on Wednesday night to discuss the shelter, its mission and other issues.

Meyer responded to questions about the shelter’s finances, saying it has outsourced its accounting work to the accounting firm Mize Houser & Company.

That move was taken at the end of last summer, after the shelter received $100,000 in emergency funding from the city and Douglas County.

At the time, the Internal Revenue Service had informed the shelter that it owed $37,000 in back payroll taxes, which a board member said was an oversight.

Attendees also inquired about the shelter’s current financial situation. Meyer said that since 2014 the shelter has cut its budget from about $1.2 million to $993,000 this year. The decrease involved cuts to staff and “streamlining to become more efficient,” Meyer said.

Meyer is hoping the shelter receives the same amount in city and county contributions in 2017 as it is receiving this year.

Budget requests are currently going through the city and county commissions.

For 2017, the Lawrence Community Shelter requested $335,100 from the city — up from $199,600 it received for 2016. City

Manager Tom Markus’ recommended 2017 budget calls for the shelter to receive the same amount as this year, which Meyer said would be adequate.

“We are very pleased as an organization that the city appears to be choosing the same level that it did last year,” he said. “If we get level funding for 2017, then we’re going to be in good shape toward hitting our marks, having a balanced budget and maintaining our current level of service.”

City Commissioner Lisa Larsen, who was at the town hall Wednesday, said the amount for the shelter that Markus proposed was “going to be stable, as far as I know.”

Meyer also said he

thought Douglas County would maintain the same amount of funding as last year: $115,000.

In response to questions about the shelter’s kitchen being shut down one day in March, Meyer said: “We’re in better shape.”

An inspector with the Kansas Department of Agriculture found violations in the shelter’s kitchen, including fresh rodent droppings. Staff worked overnight to clean the kitchen, which was reopened the following morning.

“We have since then adopted some new practices to try to stay as far ahead of that as we can,” Meyer said. “So far, so good.”

One attendee said

lone wolf and pretty bristly.”

In the 1st District, though, the Republican primary typically determines the eventual winner. This year, there is no Democrat in the race. Kerry Burt of the Libertarian Party will appear on the general election ballot. And Alan LaPolice, from Clyde in north-central Kansas, is said to be gathering signatures to file by petition to run as an independent.

In 1960, Bob Dole won the western Kansas seat, known then as the 6th District. It has since been combined with other districts and renumbered as western Kansas lost population. Dole was succeeded by Keith Sebelius, then Pat Roberts, Jerry Moran, and now Huelskamp, all of them Republicans.

In this year’s GOP primary, Marshall has been the biggest beneficiary of independent spending in the district. About $624,000 has been spent this month, either supporting him or opposing Huelskamp.

Huelskamp has drawn about $447,000 in independent expenditures,

either supporting him or opposing Marshall.

The biggest single source of independent spending, according to Federal Elections Commission reports, has been the ESA Fund, a group that includes families involved in ownership of the Chicago Cubs and World Wrestling Entertainment.

ESA Fund has spent more than $413,000, mainly in TV ads, but also in radio and newspaper ads, direct mail and telephone calls.

Huelskamp has benefited from the next largest source of independent spending, Club for Growth Action, which has dropped in a little more than $250,000, nearly all of it on TV ads supporting Huelskamp.

Kelly said the Huelskamp campaign is not concerned about the outside spending.

“No amount of money is going to be able to overcome Congressman Huelskamp’s proven conservative record,” he said.

The GOP primary in the 1st District appears to be the only competitive congressional race in Kansas this year, at least

based on campaign finance reports.

In the 2nd District, Rep. Lynn Jenkins, RTopeka, has raised nearly $1.7 million this election cycle and goes into the general election with $1.5 million in cash on hand. She faces no primary opponent.

Her general election challenger, Britani Potter of Ottawa, had not submitted a campaign finance report by Thursday afternoon.

Third District Rep. Kevin Yoder, R-Overland Park, has raised about $1.8 million this cycle and goes into the general election with nearly $2.2 million on hand.

His GOP primary challenger, Greg Goode, of Louisburg, has raised only $31,840. Yoder’s main general election challenger, Jay Sidie, of Mission Woods, who is supported by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, has raised only $104,133.

In the Wichita-centered 4th District, incumbent Rep. Mike Pompeo has raised $792,482 and enters the general election cycle with $1.1 million on hand.

According to federal pre-primary campaign finance reports that were due Thursday, Marshall has raised and spent considerably more money than Huelskamp so far this election cycle.

The reports show Marshall raised $866,000 since launching his campaign in April 2015, while Huelskamp raised only $676,000. And the Marshall campaign spent nearly $624,000 compared with Huelskamp’s $537,000.

But Huelskamp came into the race with a large war chest already in place, and he enters the final days of the primary campaign with considerably more cash on hand: $626,000, compared with Marshall’s $243,000.

Mark Kelly, a spokesman for the Huelskamp campaign, pointed out that nearly $200,000 of Marshall’s receipts came from loans Marshall himself made to his own campaign.

“Dr. Marshall isn’t outraising Tim,” Kelly said.

“If you look at our cash on hand position, we’ll have more than enough resources going into the final days” of the primary campaign.

Marshall’s campaign did not respond Thursday to requests for comment.

The candidates’ own fundraising, however, only tells part of the story. In the last few weeks alone, well-financed independent groups such as Club for Growth and the ESA Fund have poured in just more than $1 million on their own, most of it for negative advertising against one or the other candidate.

Smith said the amount of independent spending in the district is surprising for a primary election.

“The conventional wisdom is, you would think those groups would want to keep their powder dry for the general elections,” he said. “But again, H has a reputation of being a

Topeka (ap) — A federal lawsuit alleges that a caseworker for a Kansas foster care and family preservation contractor sexually harassed and coerced a mother seeking to regain custody of her children.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that a Sedgwick County woman is suing St. Francis Community Services and a former employee. She is accusing him of taking advantage of his authority to force her to send sexually charged messages and photos.

The lawsuit charges that St. Francis had received complaints about him and that chronic insufficient staffing led to inadequate supervision.

St. Francis spokeswoman Lee Ann Desper says the organization is unable to discuss a pending case.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families called the allegations “disturbing” in a statement. The department oversees the state’s privatized foster care and family services system.

conversations like Wednesday’s needed to “reach a wider audience.”

Meyer agreed, saying part of the shelter’s strategic objectives for 2016 is improving its communication with the public.

He said shelter staff was working on a plan to better use social media to “tell stories” and “communicate what we do.”

“One of our strategic objectives this year is to be better at telling our story and to participate in the narrative about us,” Meyer said. “Part of that is standing up and addressing concerns that the public may have.”

T

he retirees-turnedthespians of Theatre Lawrence’s Vintage Players call it “An Evening of Senior Moments,” but, as members of the group will attest, the annual comedy performance is more than colonoscopy jokes and predictable bits about failing memory.

“It’s funny,” Vintage Players director Mary Ann Saunders says of that particular brand of comedy. “But at the end of the day, it’s sort of depressing.”

“Senior Moments,” she says, is more about the kind of idiosyncrasies and human foibles we all experience, even those of us yet to experience the worst of the aging process. This year’s production — a mix of one-liners, “old vaudeville jokes” and improvised skits, from the minds of Vintage Players themselves

The idea, particularly with audiences who are older and often not as active as they once were, is to lift spirits and challenge preconceived notions of senior citizens.

“It lets us entertain them, because they’re confined and some of them are in ill health,” says longtime Vintage Players member Jane Robshaw. “And to see older people, that we’re still out there and performing.

I’m 74 and I’m still going.”

Over the years, Saunders has seen Players come and go. Some are more active in the summer months after vacationing outside of Lawrence during the winter.

Others, tasked with caring for sick loved ones, might not make every meeting, but find themselves healed — at least momentarily — when they do.

“We read new materials and share stories and laugh at each other quite a bit,” Saunders says, recounting anecdotes from fellow members with chronically sick loved ones. “I think there’s a lot of therapy in laughing. Good therapy.”

But mainly, she says, it’s about having fun. The mission statement of the Vintage Players quite literally is “Just have fun.” And that they do.

Saturday’s iteration of “Senior Moments” (Vintage Players never performs the same show

twice in a row, as Saunders prefers to review new scripts and devise new material every year) will make use of the upcoming summer Olympics, bits inspired by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and other topical elements.

And even though there’s more than a sprinkling of retiree-centric comedy involved, Saunders hopes the show will have a broad appeal.

“Some of the humor is based on the fact that we can’t hear as well or see as well, but there’s an awful lot of stuff in the world that’s funny no matter at what age you’re experiencing it,” she says. “You can find humor in just about everything, and I’m a firm believer that there’s not much out there that you can’t laugh at.”

State GOP leaders knock Cruz’s refusal to back Trump

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — The chairman of Ted Cruz’s campaign in Kansas said Thursday that the Texas senator has “harmed himself immeasurably” by not endorsing Donald Trump as the Republican presidential nominee. GOP Gov. Sam Brownback also expressed disappointment.

Kansas state Rep. Mark Kahrs of Wichita said he was disappointed in Cruz because the senator had the opportunity in his convention speech to “provide unity to our party and strengthen the ticket.”

Kahrs said he admires Cruz as a true conservative.

In telephone interviews from the GOP convention in Cleveland, Kahrs and

Brownback said Republicans must focus on preventing presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton from becoming president. Both cited potential appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court by the next president as a key issue.

Kahrs called Cruz’s refusal to endorse Trump “a clear mistake” and said if the Republican nominee loses, “This is a speech that Sen. Cruz will never live down.”

“I really think that what happened last night with Ted Cruz’s speech will be looked back upon in 2020 in the same light that we looked back on (New Jersey Gov.) Chris Christie when he gave that public hug to Obama during the 2012 presidential

election,” Kahrs said. “It harmed Christie. It never went away.”

Brownback said he wasn’t sure how much Cruz damaged his future.

He acknowledged Republicans had a contentious presidential contest in which candidates said “a lot of personal things.”

But he said Cruz “made a pledge” to support the eventual nominee.

“There was a point in time in the campaign where we were all pushing on Trump to declare he wouldn’t start a third

party if he didn’t win — and then he did win,” Brownback said.

The governor endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio before Kansas’ presidential caucuses in March but since has said repeatedly he’s backing Trump, though Brownback was not a convention delegate. Kahrs, an attorney, was a Cruz delegate.

The Kansas GOP’s rules bound 24 of the state’s 40 delegates to vote for Cruz when Trump was formally nominated Tuesday. Nine delegates voted for Trump,

Republicans backed Trump going into the convention, and state GOP Chairman Kelly Arnold said in a texted statement Wednesday night that Cruz’s refusal to endorse the nominee created “general disappointment” in the delegation.

“I interpret it as him saying that he is OK with Trump losing and is looking at his bid for 2020,” Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Trump delegate, said during an interview.

But the feeling of disappointment wasn’t universal. Dalton Glasscock, a Cruz delegate from Wichita who previously worried about the convention being a “coronation,” texted after the Texas senator’s

“I support it 100%. If someone feels they can vote for Trump, great. If they can’t, vote for someone they can believe in.”

Kahrs acknowledged that he’s previously been candid about not being “a big fan” of Trump during the campaign but said Thursday that Trump sent strong, favorable signals to the GOP’s conservative base by naming Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.

“We have a nominating process,” Kahrs said.

“We’ve produced a nominee, and that person is Donald Trump, and he’s the only person who stands between Hillary Clinton becoming president.”

Proposed Eudora budget would increase property taxes, utility rates

C

ity Manager Barack Matite completed a proposed 2017 budget for presentation to the Eudora City Commission at a work session Thursday that would increase the city’s property tax levy from 33.98 to 39.46 mills.

Matite said that 4 mills of the 5.48-mill increase would fund a capital improvement fund. Many of the immediate capital needs were for equipment, but revenue would be needed in the years ahead to realize the goals of the city commission’s strategic plan. In written remarks to commissioners delivered with the budget, Matite wrote that Eudora is at a crossroads as it looks to grow and address past negligence.

“We are faced with various issues: Poor infrastructure, inadequate amenities and facilities and increasing maintenance costs amongst other things. ... As we deal with

those past and present issues, we must not forget to invest in our future lest we cease to be a thriving community,” he wrote.

The proposed budget would give the city general fund spending authority of $4.1 million.

That is a $394,000 (11 percent) increase from the current year.

The budget also proposes rate increases of 3 percent for the city’s water customers, 4 percent for sewer and 5 percent

for electrical. The budget will provide funding for three new employees, including the city’s second code enforcement officer.

Funding for that position would be split among the general fund and electrical and sewer funds. The budget recommends hiring part-time positions for the city clerk’s office and custodial duties. lll

The Baldwin City Recreation Commission will have its fifth annual Maple Leaf Triathlon on Saturday.

The event has races for children ages 3 to 11, a short course and sprint course.

All events will begin at the Baldwin City Municipal Pool, 317 Fremont St. BCRC Executive Director Steve Friend said those who didn’t preregister can do so for the sprint and short races from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m. at the pool. Late children’s registration will be from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.

The sprint and short events start at 7 a.m.; the children’s race starts at 10 a.m.

The sprint competition will include a 300-meter swim, 12-mile bike ride and 5K run. Those competing in the short course will swim 150 meters, bike 4 miles and run a mile. The children’s event will have a 50-meter swim, 1-mile bike ride and half-mile run.

Friend said as of Wednesday morning 150 people had registered for the event. That puts this year’s race on pace to have about 175 athletes, which is comparable to past years, he said. lll

Mom’s support will help teen in anorexia fight Dear Annie: One day a few months ago, my 15-year-old daughter got into the car after school with bloodshot eyes and red cheeks. I could tell she had been crying. I asked her what was wrong. At first, she said nothing. Then, with some gentle prying, she burst into tears and said, ‘‘Jason came up to me at lunch and said, ‘Nancy, you would be really pretty if you lost some weight.’’’ As she relived the story, tears welled up in her eyes again. ‘‘Mom, I really want to lose weight. I am so tired of being picked last at gym because I can’t run as fast as the other kids.

Please help me.’’

My sister had just lost 30 pounds at a local diet center. I quickly went online and signed Nancy and myself up.

Although I only had a

few pounds to lose, I wanted to do the program with her so that we could make the necessary eating habit changes together. Our first meeting was at the same type of center. Nancy weighed in 25 pounds overweight.

We learned tips for healthy eating and the importance of daily exercise. We heard women’s success stories of losing over 100 pounds.

When we got in the car, we were both excited

Bleak stories steal stage at Comic-Con Will Arnett hosts a second night of “Syfy Presents Live From Comic-Con” (7 p.m.), the San Diego convention of comic book, fantasy, science fiction and other genres.

Tonight’s scheduled interviews include: Will Forte (“The Last Man on Earth”); Norman Reedus and Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead”); Rami Malek, Christian Slater, Carly Chaikin, Portia Doubleday and Grace Gummer (“Mr. Robot”).

It’s interesting to note that all three of those series offer a deeply bleak view of the world; two are post-apocalyptic, and one is conspiratorial and laced with drug addiction and mental illness.

Science fiction, fantasy and comic books were not always so gloomy. Almost three decades of “Dark Knight”-era Batman tales have left some nostalgic for the goofy sensibilities of the old Adam West Caped Crusader, made at a time when the story’s writers and its readers seemed confident enough to be in on the joke.

Perhaps some of the eternal gloom coursing through these contemporary stories stems from the realization that some never outgrow comic books and are stuck in the emotional basement of an increasingly sour, adolescent worldview.

Others share a feeling that life itself is some cruel trick and that we are stuck inside somebody else’s elaborate computer game or digital maze. In a time of “reality” entertainment, some have come to believe that reality itself is a hoax.

We certainly live at a time when many storytellers have to mediate tales of real life with nods to media itself. The central premise of “BoJack Horseman” (TV-MA), the animated Hollywood satire streaming its third season on Netflix starting today, is that BoJack (voiced by Will Arnett) is the washed-up star of a 1990s “Full House”type sitcom. The fact that he hasn’t done much with either his celebrity or his life since the show’s cancellation is at the center of this dyspeptic comedy. But as with folks like Scott Baio, it also appears to be the only reason we’d pay attention to him in the first place.

Tonight’s other highlights l Auditions continue on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l A victim’s symptoms seem disturbingly familiar on “Rosewood” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l Cures for aches and pains loom large on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). l Chef Edward Lee makes a guest appearance on “MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14). l A former officer becomes a suspect on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

to start losing weight.

Week after week, Nancy and I were losing weight. She was feeling more and more confident and even told me that Jason had asked her to go to a party with him. After about 12 weeks, she and I reached our goal weight and were instructed to begin the maintenance program.

I began to adjust my daily food intake for maintenance, but Nancy did not. At the next weigh-in, she had dropped another 3 pounds, which was below her healthy weight.

During the following weeks, she was eating less and less. She said she was not losing fast enough. It was then that I noticed she had basically stopped eating.

I took her to the pediatrician for a checkup.

Good example Replacing a protest with a picnic is a step in the right direction for Wichita police and the people they serve.

T

he Wichita Police Department got wide news coverage this week for an event that set a good example for other departments to follow to improve their community relations.

A group of Wichita residents were planning to stage a protest last Sunday in response to recent police violence in other cities, but after meeting with Police Chief Gordon Ramsay for several hours, plans for the event took a turn. Instead of a protest march, the event turned into a barbecue with police and community members sharing a meal at a local park.

Smaller conversations over dinner turned into a public forum that gave hundreds of residents an opportunity to step to the microphone and ask Chief Ramsay questions. He advised people who felt they were being mistreated by police not to argue with officers at the scene when their behavior could aggravate the situation.

But after the incident, he said, people should contact his office so footage from body cameras worn by Wichita officers could be reviewed. The chief added that he had “zero tolerance for racial profiling or racial bias.”

Instead of a protest that might have promoted divisions and fear, residents and police had a chance to get to know one another a little and perhaps assuage some of their fears and bridge some of their divisions. One community picnic won’t eliminate all the issues related to racial violence or attacks on police officers, but the dialogue that took place in Wichita is a good step toward better understanding and better relations between police and the people they are charged with serving.

U.S. focuses on other jihadi threat Washington — As the U.S.-led coalition has begun to gain ground against the Islamic State in Syria, officials have begun focusing attention on another jihadi group they fear may pose a more dangerous long-run threat there, the al-Qaida affiliate known as Jabhat alNusra.

Jabhat al-Nusra has played a clever waiting game over the last four years, embedding itself with more moderate opposition factions and championing Sunni resistance to President Bashar al-Assad. The group has mostly avoided foreign terrorist operations, and has largely escaped targeting

by U.S. forces. Meanwhile, it has developed close links with rebel organizations such as Ahrar al-Sham that are backed by Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

But the global jihadi ambitions of Osama bin Laden remain part of Jabhat alNusra’s DNA. U.S. officials report increasing evidence that the group is plotting external operations against Europe and the United States. Its operatives are said to have tried recently to infiltrate Syrian refugee communities in Europe.

A stark warning of the danger ahead comes from the Institute for the Study of War, which closely follows events in Syria. In a new forecast, the institute argues that by January 2017, “Jabhat al-Nusra will have created an Islamic emirate in northwestern Syria in all but name,” and will merge with the supposedly more moderate Ahrar al-Sham.

“The merger, even if incomplete, will accomplish

It will lay the groundwork for Jabhat al-Nusra to absorb or defeat remaining independent elements of the opposition.”

The agonizing question for the Obama administration is how to combat Jabhat al-Nusra as it moves to fill the vacuum left by an Islamic State that is losing territory and popularity. As with most other aspects of the Syrian war, the administration finds nothing but bad choices. The current version of this policy nightmare is whether to ally with Russia in suppressing the Jabhat alNusra threat.

Secretary of State John Kerry appears to be attempting a tricky three-cushion shot: Kerry’s plan would

include joint U.S.-Russian operations against the group, as well as the Islamic State. Kerry also hopes to reduce Assad’s attacks on moderate rebel forces, so that they (rather than Jabhat al-Nusra) can gain ground in a post-Islamic State Syria.

Like many of Kerry’s gambits, this is a high-risk maneuver. Even his supporters fear that it’s born more out of desperation than a carefully articulated strategy.

According to one source familiar with Kerry’s plan, it would begin with an attempt to reduce violence, as happened after the initial Russian-American “cessation of hostilities” plan was announced in February. If violence ebbed, and the Assad regime allowed humanitarian assistance to reach besieged areas in Aleppo and elsewhere, then the U.S. would begin sharing targeting information with Russia.

One sweetener in this still-untested deal is that the Assad regime would agree to a “significant reduction” in its air operations over rebel-held areas. If this curb on Assad’s barrel-bombing tactics succeeded, it could begin a real path toward deescalation. But even administration officials who have helped frame the RussiaAmerica package are skeptical that the details will fall into place.

Bassam Barabandi, a senior adviser to the opposition coalition, says that most Syrians recognize that Jabhat al-Nusra is a terrorist group and will support gradual U.S. efforts to combat it.

But he cautions that Syrians

fear the U.S.-Russia pact will only strengthen Assad and “kill the revolution” against his regime.

Kerry’s diplomacy suffers from a weak U.S. bargaining position. Russia and Syria think they’re winning, as they tighten their siege of Aleppo and other rebel strongholds. There’s little incentive for them to make the serious concessions that might bring buy-in from the opposition. The U.S., by contrast, has failed in a three-year, CIA-led effort to build a moderate opposition force that could draw rebels away from Jabhat al-Nusra and its Sunni allies.

The U.S. has more success fighting the Islamic State in eastern Syria with a largely Kurdish force known as the YPG. But this Kurdish-centric strategy antagonizes both Turkey and the official Sunni-led opposition.

Five years on, the Syrian civil war remains a problem from hell. Allying with Russia against Jabhat al-Nusra risks deepening the terrorist group’s support within Syria and further alienating Sunnis; but continuing with the current strategy is almost certain to fail.

The right approach now, as when this mess started, is for the U.S. to aggressively, passionately, visibly provide humanitarian aid, governance and security assistance in areas that are liberated from Assad and the jihadists. “Realism” can be a trap in Syria; doing the right thing is also good policy.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 22, 1916: “Linwood Bank Robyears bers Elude Pursuing Posago se. Robbers Last Seen on IN 1916 Road Northwest of Tonganoxie.. Many In Pursuit.

– The last definite report on the fleeing bandits is to the effect that they were last seen between Tonganoxie and McLouth…. Telephones and telegraphs in this part of Kansas were kept busy during much of last night, while rumors as to the location of the robbers were flying about the country. One report was to the effect that the bandits were surrounded in a corn field near Basehor, in Leavenworth county, after an accident which had damaged their car. This report was investigated by the officers from Leavenworth, who found a damaged Ford car which the owners were trying to repair. Other reports were that the bandits had turned towards Kansas City near Basehor. Then it was learned that the Tonganoxie people had taken up the chase and that the bandit car was traveling toward McLouth.

Established 1891

The news was telephoned ahead. J. E. Blevens followed the bandits in a Ford car.... They kept track of the car, either by watching it or telephoning ahead.

They followed the car about sixteen miles through Tonganoxie, and then the Ford got a puncture and they could not follow further.... A farmer named Sam Hawes, living four miles east of Tonganoxie, said he saw this car pass and that one man was blacking the face of the driver.... The Tonganoxie party began pursuit thirty minutes after the bandits passed through.... The bandits passed through the town, turned north, then east, then south, the west and back through the town again turning south. After this they could not be found and no trail could be picked up either by search or telephone.

At no time were the pursuers within shooting distance of the bandit car.”

Bail changes To the editor: With every level of government in Kansas seeking ways to get the most from tight tax dollars, we need to be sure we are getting the greatest benefit for our money locally. One way to do this was recently featured by John Oliver: revising our bail system.

According to the 2014 Douglas County Correction Facility Report, 75 percent of the people at our jail are there pre-trial, at a cost to the county of $148 per day per person. Most counties that have pre-trial alternatives to incarceration (including risk evaluations, ankle monitoring, phone call check-ins, court date reminders and transportation) spend less than $10 per day per person.

People in these programs can continue to go to work and care for their children while awaiting trial. And, for taxpayers of Douglas County, many of those 75 percent who could be placed in alternative programs would not be using space at the jail, making a $30 million expansion less necessary.

CLEVELAND Perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise that the Republican National Convention nominating Donald Trump for president would turn out to be less like the traditional political infomercial and more like a reality TV show. And not in a good way.

Instead of projecting party unity and reaching out to the undecided voters who will decide the winner in November, the conclave that launched the general election for the GOP has spotlighted splits and

stumbles, chaos and conspiracies — a narrative that might be good for attracting ratings but bad for reassuring voters. A series of missteps left it to Trump himself to regain a sense of energy and momentum with a high-stakes, prime-time acceptance speech Thursday night.

In a final indignity, a Democratic super PAC called Correct the Record obtained a draft of Trump’s speech and blasted it out to reporters three-and-a-half hours before he was to speak. The group’s president, Brad Woodhouse, crowed on Twitter that the leak amounted to political “malpractice” by the Trump campaign.

When Trump finally walked on stage, introduced by daughter Ivanka, the packed hall erupted in cheers.

Completing his historic drive to the Republican presidential nomination, Donald Trump told a divided Republican Party on Thursday that he will be a voice for frustrated Americans who have been let down by government and the elites who have run it for decades.

“So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight: I’m with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you,” Trump proclaimed Thursday night in his acceptance speech at the GOP convention.

In the heat, a retreat: Summer gas prices tank even more Eli Blumenthal @eliblumenthal USA TODAY

Even as the peak summer travel season is in full swing, gasoline prices are stuck in reverse.

Prices have plunged to their lowest July level in 12 years, according to AAA. In fact, gas prices have dropped in 39 of the last 40 days, lopping off 20 cents a gallon during that span, according to AAA. “Gas is getting cheaper as we’re moving into the busiest part of summer travel,” AAA spokesman Michael Green said.

For motorists, the news only gets better. The outlook for the rest of 2016 is for even cheaper gas, partly because of the change in seasons. Prices typically fall as summer wraps up and vacationers head for home.

Amid a global glut of oil inventories that has kept prices below $50 a barrel for most of 2016, the national average price of gas dropped to $2.19 Thursday, marking its lowest average for this time of year since 2004 and the cheapest average since April 28.

Making the drop more pronounced, the numbers aren’t adjusted for inflation: Thursday’s

Prices are 57 cents a gallon less than last year and $1.38 cheaper than in 2014. That translates into savings of $15-$35 per fill-up, compared with two years ago.

About 30% of U.S. gas stations are selling gas for less than $2 per gallon. “Those are real savings that add up,” Green said. “And we’ve seen that. Cheaper gas prices are motivating people to drive more and to take long trips this summer.”

Demand for gasoline is among the highest it’s been in recent years, said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.

VOICES

Philly on the convention: Bring it on Rem Rieder

“If you stay in town, you’ll be part of history.”

@remrieder USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA During the talky, prolonged and marvelous climax of Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 2, Bill (David Carradine) explains to The Bride (Uma Thurman) how it was that he popped a cap in her crown, nearly killing her and sending her into a lengthy coma after he learned she was about to marry another man.

“I overreacted,” he says.

Well, no caps were popped, but there’s no doubt then-Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter overreacted, big time, when Pope Francis came to the city last September.

Rather than portray the event as the wonderful moment for his city that it was, the Nutter administration made it sound more like the end of days, warning of huge crowds that would overwhelm the city.

Nutter & Co. reversed course and urged people to enjoy the visit of the popular pontiff rather than flee.

And the event was ultimately a great success for the city in many ways. But it was nevertheless marred by the unnecessary collateral damage of closed bridges to New Jersey, a massive “traffic box” that cars couldn’t

enter, shut-down streets, public transit restrictions, schools and courts and public offices closed for days. It was an economic disaster for center city restaurants and other businesses.

I’ll never forget the surreal experience of walking to the Pennsylvania Convention Center at 3 a.m. one day. It was like being in a war zone, with omnipresent checkpoints and barricades and soldiers and law enforcement personnel.

Next week, the Democratic National Convention comes to Philadelphia, and, while perhaps no new sheriff, there’s a new mayor in town.

Mayor Jim Kenney, in a 180 from his predecessor, is treating it as the excellent opportunity for the city that it is.

Rather than getting out of Dodge, he says, Philadelphians should join in the madness.

“Four weeks from today, the most exciting and historic event in our country’s recent memory will happen in Philadelphia, the Democratic National Convention,” Kenney wrote hyperbolically last month on philly.com, adding, “If you stay in town, you’ll be part of history.”

And all those delegates and other people coming to town?

No sweat. “We’re expecting about 50,000 visitors, which is about the equivalent of the Army-Navy game” often played in South Philly, he says.

This is how enthusiastic Kenney is about the convention. For many Philadelphians, there are few things more sacred than a

trip “downa shore” to the nearby Atlantic Ocean and the beaches of South Jersey. But Kenney, a child of South Philly, urged locals to forgo the shore and stay in town for the Democrats.

The convention will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in the city’s sports complex in Deep South Philadelphia, several miles south from the Philly’s lively Center City and the nearby historic district (you know, the Liberty Bell and all that).

But many convention-related activities will take place during the day at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City.

There will also be plenty of special events, from a foodtruck festival to a PoliticalFest throughout the week held at seven locations throughout the city.

Many bars will be hosting watch parties, and the state’s draconian liquor laws have been eased to allow certain saloons to stay open until 4 a.m. with permission.

The Democrats about to descend on Philly will encounter a staunchly Democratic city that has been on something of a roll.

In addition to hosting Pope Francis and the Democrats, last year The New York Times named it the No. 3 place in the world you should visit, and Travel + Leisure magazine called it America’s next great food city.

The city has a vibrant downtown, a burgeoning population of Millennials, a great dining scene, lots of revitalized neighborhoods and terrific cultural institutions.

It’s a far cry from the downtrodden Philly of the 1970s depicted quite accurately in Invincible, a classic Philly movie that’s a paean to the city’s bluecollar soul. (And, yes, we really do bleed Eagles green.)

We’ll end, of course, with the inevitable cheesesteak, a hopelessly overworked Philly cliché yet still really good and an essential part of city’s culinary soul. Try one when you aren’t eating in one of the hip new restaurants, but not at overrated, overhyped tourist spots Pat’s and Geno’s, instead perhaps at Cosmi’s in South Philly or Dalessandro’s in Roxborough.

TRUMP’S SPEECH

Vows to tackle terrorism, violence v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Air Force One, Trump said he “humbly and gratefully” accepted the Republican nomination to the presidency.

In addition to promoting his own qualifications for the job, Trump sought to unite a convention in which the runner-up in the primary campaign refused to endorse him, critical delegates staged a noisy floor fight over the rules and a string of high-profile Republicans boycotted the entire event.

Trump also argued that the United States is in decline under the Obama administration, citing a litany of grim statistics about crime and violence, terrorism and national security, and the rising number of Americans who have stopped looking for work.

Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton is to blame for some of the nation’s ills, Trump’s said, and “the problems we face now — poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad — will last only as long as we con-

tinue relying on the same politicians who created them.”

Citing the recent spate of police killings and terrorism, the businessman who has never held public office promised that “the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end. Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored.”

Echoing promises he has made since hitting the campaign trail 13 months ago, Trump’s speech included pledges to stop illegal immigration with a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and change trade agreements that he claims have sucked manufacturing jobs out of the United States to foreign countries.

Throughout the day, the Clinton campaign and other Democratic groups sent out statements denouncing various Trump polices as ineffectual, divisive or simply wrong-headed. They also cited Republican infighting over Trump, including the refusal of many high-profile Republicans to endorse the party’s new

Trump’s week-long convention in Cleveland has been plagued with problems, one of which surfaced just hours before he was to take the podium: The pro-Clinton group Correct The Record got a hold of a Trump speech draft and distributed it to reporters.

That draft included slogans he used at rallies across the country,

including “Law and Order,” “America First,” a “rigged system,” and — the original campaign theme — “Make America Great Again.”

Mocking the pro-Clinton slogan — “I’m With Her” — Trump says his pledge is “I’m with you, the American people: I am your voice.”

powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves,” Trump declared in a speech that portrayed the nation as under siege at home and abroad, his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as corrupt and the answer to this dire state of affairs standing in front of the audience. “Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it.”

Though the reception in the hall was tumultuous, the fourday convention failed to capitalize in a coherent way on the biggest opportunity a presidential nominee has to present a relatively unfiltered message to voters. In some ways, it actually left the GOP weaker than it was before the week began, lessening the prospects of carrying the crucial state of Ohio in the wake of a public feud with Gov. John Kasich.

“Conventions are precious, unique opportunities to go in living rooms with the candidate’s appealing story,” says Lawrence Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota. Instead, he says, the Cleveland conclave was the most “consistently dysfunc-

“Other than a small group of people who have suffered massive and embarrassing losses, the party is VERY united,” Trump tweeted. “Great love in the arena!”

Daughter Ivanka Trump introduced her father to the noisy crowd that packed Cleveland’s basketball arena, telling them he is a “fighter” who became “the people’s nominee.”

As with other speakers throughout the week, Trump is seeking Republican unity by going after Clinton.

Republican delegates have attacked Clinton in extraordinary ways throughout the week, including convention hall chants to “lock her up!”

Trump prepared for his big night amid another flap over his commitment to U.S. military alliances, including NATO. When The New York Times asked the candidate about the prospect of a Russian attack on NATO allies in the Baltic States, Trump said he would authorize help only after deciding whether those countries “have fulfilled their obligations to us.”

tional” convention of the past three decades. “Trump’s convention has showcased division, discord and uncertainty. It reinforced all the questions about Trump rather than putting them to rest.”

Reassuring voters who are eager for change but anxious about Trump — unsure whether the blustery billionaire businessman and reality TV star has the demeanor, knowledge and leadership skills to be president — was the main goal of the week that convention manager Paul Manafort set Monday morning.

“The key message for Trump is, can people see him as president?” Manafort said at a breakfast with reporters hosted by Bloomberg Politics, likening the race to the 1980 election.

But the testimonials on Trump from the podium at the Quicken Arena by his children, employees, conservative activists and others were largely overwhelmed by a litany of damaging distractions.

Consider Day One, when Manafort called Kasich, one of Trump’s vanquished rivals from the primaries, an “embarrassment” to his state. The popular governor was in Cleveland for convention-related events but didn’t address the convention,

nor has he endorsed the nominee.

Or Day Two, which began with the revelation that the well-received speech Melania Trump delivered the night before included language lifted from the speech Michelle Obama delivered at the Democratic National Convention in 2008.

The Trump campaign spent a day and a half issuing conflicting explanations, including a flat denial, before identifying a speechwriter as the culprit.

Or Day Three, when attention focused not on the speech by running mate Mike Pence but on the defiant speech by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, another primary rival, who pointedly failed to endorse Trump and urged Americans to “vote your conscience.” That was seen as such a clarion call to vote for somebody else that Clinton quickly sent out a tweet repeating it. By the time Cruz finished speaking, the Quicken Arena was filled with a chorus of boos — not exactly the picture of party unity.

“There is no doubt that this convention has been more chaotic than recent ones, and that there have been a series of process issues that have complicated the coverage, but there

have also been many highlights as well,” says Phil Musser, a senior Republican strategist. He cautioned against assuming the worst in an unpredictable year.

“The conventional wisdom about what constitutes ‘success’ in a traditional context has been upended again and again this cycle. Polling next week will assess the net benefit of the convention to the political forces of the campaign.”

Republican strategist Frank Donatelli — who served in senior roles for Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole and John McCain — says a series of “unforced errors” by the Trump team signals “a thin campaign that was basically riding a wave and not controlling events,” raising questions about how well prepared it is to handle a general election guaranteed to be bruising. “I guess I would say they’ve had difficulty projecting a unified front and of crafting the larger message that could appeal to the American people.”

Before the convention, there were fears that protests in the street would create the sort of chaos that marked the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. This time, protests weren’t a problem. The damaging chaos was inside the hall.

Coalition advancing on Mosul and Raqqa Generals note new confidence in troops; tough fight lies ahead Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

Iraq’s military and U.S.-backed opposition forces in Syria are advancing on the Islamic State’s key strongholds with a new confidence not seen since the militants routed Iraqi forces two years ago, U.S. military commanders said.

“It’s fair to say we have the initiative,” Army Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, the top coalition commander here, said in an interview at his headquarters. “The momentum is growing.”

He said Iraqi forces in recent weeks have made rapid advances toward the city of Mosul, while U.S.-backed opposition forces in northern Syria are advancing on Raqqa, the militants’ de facto capital.

“We’re closing in on both of them,” MacFarland said about Mosul and Raqqa.

MacFarland and other top leaders acknowledge that tough fighting lies ahead. Both cities are home to thousands of civilians, and the U.S.-backed forces will face a complex urban battlefield, making it difficult to use airstrikes against the militants.

Commanders declined to predict timing, but any final assault is at least still months away. Raqqa likely will take longer.

Militants have had two years to build a network of defenses in and around Mosul, and Iraqi forces are just now arriving at the outer belts. The coalition estimates between 5,000 and 6,000 fighters are inside the densely populated city.

“We expect that the fight will get more and more difficult the closer we get to Mosul,” Maj. Gen. Gary Volesky said.

The progress of recent weeks has given an air of inevitability to the campaign in both Iraq and Syria, as airstrikes and ground fighting have worn down the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. BAGHDAD

MAHMOUD ALL-SAMARRAI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Shell casings litter the ground as Iraqi government forces gather around the Qaiyara air base near Mosul that was seized from the Islamic State by Iraqi forces.

Iraq’s military, much of which collapsed when the Islamic State swept into Iraq from Syria two years ago, has had a string of successes, including the recapture of Fallujah and Ramadi. Last month, U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes decimated a militant convoy attempting to flee Fallujah, killing more than 400 militants.

As Iraqi forces were driving the Islamic State from Fallujah, other forces advanced on Mosul in a series of complex maneuvers that highlighted the progress Iraq’s military has made both in capabilities and willingness to fight.

Iraq’s 9th armored division and a brigade of Iraqi special operations forces spearheaded an ad-

vance of more than 50 miles up the Tigris River Valley. Iraqi forces also built an expeditionary bridge across the Tigris while fighting militants.

“This is a different Iraqi army than what was here a year ago,” Volesky said.

The bridge and the Qayyarah West air base, about 39 miles

south of Mosul, will ensure secure supply lines for the Mosul offensive and have disrupted and isolated militants in the area south of Mosul.

In Syria, U.S.-backed opposition forces have circled the town of Manbij and seized parts of the city, including a hospital where militants had set up a headquarters.

Capturing the city would consolidate territory held by U.S.backed forces in northern Syria and also prove the worth of a growing number of U.S.-backed Arab fighters who will be essential for taking Raqqa, about 70 miles south of Manbij.

The U.S. military backs a force

of about 30,000 opposition fighters in Syria. The U.S. has deployed about 300 special operations forces to the region to help organize and recruit fighters willing to take on the Islamic State.

Still, much of the success in battling the Islamic State in northern Syria has been the work of Kurdish forces, who have pushed the militants out of their territory. The United States has tried to build a coalition of Arab forces who can expand fighting beyond Kurdish-controlled areas.

The White House this year authorized an additional 250 special operations forces in Syria, largely to expand Arab involvement in the Syrian Defense Force.

Manbij is a key test of those efforts. “We’re learning a lot about how to work with the Syrian Arab Coalition in the Manbij fight,” MacFarland said. The U.S.-led coalition has refined its ability to coordinate airstrikes with the forces fighting in Manbij, providing the opposition with a key advantage over the militants.

The fighting has been difficult, since the militants defending Manbij put up a more determined resistance than many of their counterparts in Iraq.

But the opposition force, most of whom are part of the Arab coalition, continued to press into the city, raising hopes it will be capable of expanding and taking on militants in Raqqa.

“The enemy will probably fight harder in Raqqa than they will in Mosul,” MacFarland said.

The Islamic State is increasingly turning to terror attacks on civilian targets as it has lost territory in Iraq and Syria.

“When Mosul falls, it’s not going to be like ISIL is just going to disappear,” Volesky said. “They are going to go out and try to maintain relevance.”

The U.S.-led coalition will need to keep pressure on the Islamic State even if it loses its self-proclaimed caliphate, officials said.

“Destroying ISIL’s parent tumor in Iraq and Syria is necessary, but it’s not sufficient,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said. “ISIL’s influence and activities continue to pose a threat.”

WASHINGTON An unprecedented 40-nation summit on combating the Islamic State focused Thursday on bolstering the military campaign against the extremist group and countering propaganda it spreads to recruit fighters from around the world.

“We are engaged in a historic effort,” Secretary of State John Kerry said of the anti-Islamic State coalition. “Nothing like this coalition has ever before been assembled. We’re not following a manual on anti-terror activities.

We’re writing it.”

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the meeting is the first held together with both foreign and defense ministers.

“We now have momentum on the ground with clear results,” Carter said. “And this week we’re making further plans, clear commitments to help us destroy” the Islamic State, also known as ISIL. He said the coalition’s first priority is “to destroy the ISIL tumor,” but that isn’t enough. The coalition also plans to help police and local security forces prevent terrorist attacks at home, he said.

Kerry said after the day-long session that the ministers discussed recent accomplishments against the Islamic State and plans to retake the militant group’s last major strongholds of Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria.

But the bulk of the meeting focused on how to deal with the Islamic State after it is defeated as an organization that holds territory and morphs into a terrorist group bent on spreading death and destruction, Kerry said.

Countering the Islamic State in the future will require greater sharing of intelligence and information, “so police and border guards of coalition countries know if someone has been to Iraq,” Kerry said.

He also announced Thursday that Interpol became a member of the coalition. The international police organization will help member nations interdict foreign

terrorist fighters returning from conflict areas and aid to interrupt terrorist networks.

Kerry earlier said the ministers heard a briefing by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper that described the Islamic State’s battlefield losses and its plans for the future.

The coalition’s work has retaken half the territory once held by the Islamic State, Kerry said. Airstrikes disrupted the militant group’s ability to conduct military operations, and the joint effort has “squeezed (Islamic State) revenue streams” by targeting its oil storage sites, tanker trucks and oil production sites, he said.

“In the face of such setbacks, the number of fighters have gone down by a third, recruiting has slowed, and defections have in-

creased,” Kerry said.

Kerry opened the event with German Foreign Minister FrankWalter Steinmeier, who co-hosted a funding conference Wednesday that raised $2.1 billion to help Iraq restore stability to territory it regained from the Islamic State.

The ministers have come “to take stock of where we are” in the campaign and to focus on the next steps, especially retaking Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, said Brett McGurk, who is President Obama’s special envoy to the coalition.

“Mosul is now increasingly coming upon us. We have it in sight, but we have to do it right,” McGurk said. “Militarily, it has to be very well planned. We have to have a stabilization plan ready to go and resourced. We have to have a humanitarian plan ready to go and resourced. The local governance plan has to be ready to go.”

McGurk, speaking Tuesday to reporters on a conference call, said the ministers will focus on the fight against the Islamic State in three dimensions: Taking back territory in Iraq and Syria, tracking and countering the Islamic State’s foreign fighter and propaganda networks, and stabilization and governance in areas liberated from the militant group.

Cruz refuses to play ‘puppy dog’ Long-term impact of his moment of defiance is unclear Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY

Ted Cruz’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night was touted as one of the biggest moments of his career.

It ended in boos and catcalls after he pointedly refrained from endorsing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, while his wife, Heidi, was escorted out through a tangle of taunts and insults on the convention floor.

The awkward finish may have been career-ending for many politicians. For Cruz, who has made a career of going against the grain

and angering foes and colleagues alike, how damaging the incident is for him in the long term remains in question.

“It could hurt many politicians’ images,” said Mark Jones, a Rice University political scientist who has studied Cruz’s career closely.

“But Cruz has (never) been bothered by attacks and boos and scorn. … He’s known as someone who doesn’t play the game.”

In not supporting Trump, Cruz broke a pledge taken by all candidates to ultimately support the winning GOP candidate.

The Texas senator, who was runner-up in the Republican primary race, blamed a bitter political battle between himself and Trump — which often grew deeply personal — for the lack of endorsement. Cruz called Trump a “pathological liar” and “narcissist” during the campaign, and Trump responded with jabs at Heidi Cruz’s appearance and sug-

gestions that Cruz’s dad had a hand in the Kennedy assassination.

“I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and who attack my father,” Cruz said at a meeting Thursday with Texas delegates, adding that he would not be a “servile puppy dog” to the Trump campaign.

Delegates who initially supported Cruz were dismayed at his

lack of endorsement. “I’m shaking my head,” said Garth Kuhnhein, a delegate from Kentucky, who supported Cruz. “I think he’s just an ideologue. That’s what he believes. Time will tell, but he’s disappointed a lot of people.”

Tom Tye, an alternate delegate from Kentucky, put it more succinctly: “Stick a fork in him,” he said. “He’s done.”

Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana of-

fered a blistering rebuke of Cruz, calling him the most “self-centered, narcissistic, pathological liar I’ve ever seen,” and Sarah Palin called his speech “career-ending.”

“I guarantee American voters took notice and felt more unsettling confirmation as to why we don’t much like typical politicians because they campaign one way but act out another way,” the 2008 vice presidential candidate said in a statement to Breitbart.

Though Cruz has long been out of favor with the Republican elite, Wednesday night may have cost him valuable credibility with voters and organizers, said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “He earned a lot of grass-roots anger with that speech,” he said.

As spectacle winds down, Cleveland breathes easier Many residents put in extra effort to avoid events Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Mike Kaplan pulled molten glass out of a 2,000-degree furnace made of construction debris and a recycled mattress frame and put his mouth to the steel blow pipe.

For Kaplan and thousands of other Clevelanders, it’s time to exhale.

After the balloons drop on Donald Trump’s acceptance speech, 50,000 out-of-town guests — including 2,472 delegates and 15,000 credentialed members of the media — will head for the airports and highways.

The 2016 Republican National Convention, taking place just across the winding Cuyahoga River from Kaplan’s glass-blowing studio, is “not as big a deal as we thought it would be,” he said.

“It’s kind of peaceful,” he said of a sometimes unruly convention that’s brought protests, boos, jeers and chants of “Lock her up!”

Cleveland may have been the center of the political universe this week. But the convention is not at the center of most Clevelanders’ lives. In fact, many Clevelanders seem to have gone out of their way to avoid it.

On the home rental site Airbnb, more than 1,900 Cleveland households left their homes and decided to rent them out to convention-goers for the week, at an average of $300 a night. Except for the occasional motorcade — escorted by Secret Service, Capitol Police the Ohio Highway Patrol and local departments — traffic was tolerable outside of downtown.

Latroya Cole got pulled over by one of those motorcades as she took her nieces to Edgewater Park, a newly cleaned-up beach on Lake Erie. “I just want it to be over, she said. “I’ve been a little stressed. I just don’t want to see anyone get hurt.”

She hasn’t been watching the convention. Too much negativity, she said. “My main priority is that these children can stay naive to everything that’s going on, so they can have a carefree summer. Just for a few weeks.”

Many Clevelanders adopted similar coping strategies, avoiding the city entirely — to the chagrin of many shop owners. At the landmark West Side Market, just outside downtown, customers were so few that many of the food vendors simply closed for the week.

“As much of a headache and a heartache that’s going on around the world, I was worried that all the hatred would rear its head here. And it really hasn’t,” said Jeff Frank outside the nearly empty market. He came in from the suburbs to have lunch at CLEVELAND

Town Hall, an organic Ohio City restaurant where the waitresses wore hats saying, “Make America Healthy Again.”

Frank is a reluctant Trump supporter. “I feel like Trump is really our only option,” he said.

Democrat Hillary Clinton, he said, would put her personal interests ahead of the country’s.

In this largely Democratic city — where 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney won just 11% of the vote four years ago — Clevelanders were nonetheless welcoming to the idea of a four-day GOP invasion when it was announced in 2014. After decades of being known as the “Mistake on the Lake,” a national spotlight might illuminate the $6 billion investment in downtown Cleveland since 2010.

But there was also trepidation.

The “comeback” narrative had failed Cleveland before, in politics, economics and — perhaps most famously — in athletics: Earnest Byner’s fumble. Michael Jordan’s shot. John Elway’s drive.

LeBron James’ decision.

And now, Donald Trump’s nomination.

The prospect of a disorderly convention, with protests spilling over into the streets, had led to heightened anxiety in Cleveland as Trump and anti-Trump forces maneuvered in the final weeks of the presidential primaries.

Then, James led the Cleveland Cavaliers to an improbable, come-from-behind national championship — the city’s first in any major sport since 1964. More than 1 million people flooded downtown for a victory parade.

The city was euphoric.

“I think the tide turned when the Cavs brought home the ring a few weeks ago, as stupid as it sounds,” said Kirk Johns, who lives in a newly revitalized historic neighborhood just south of downtown. “Because everyone is in love in Cleveland.”

But anxiety returned as terror attacks and police shootings this month put the country on edge.

And Cleveland has its own recent history of violent crime and police-community tension.

The weekend before the convention was the bloodiest in Cleveland so far this year, with five people killed and 20 shot in violence unrelated to the convention. And the 2014 police shooting of a 14-year-old AfricanAmerican boy by Cleveland Police — and the subsequent decision by a grand jury not to indict the officer responsible — still stokes passions.

On one local Sunday morning news program on the eve of the convention, an anchor asked viewers to pray for their city.

“The media has made this out to be a complete terror hot spot,” Johns said.

Clevelanders were proud to show off their oft-maligned city.

But they were also bothered and apprehensive.

“It’s sort of a witch’s brew,” said Mike Mitchell, who owns eight ice cream shops in Cleveland with his brother Pete.

MONEYLINE EXISTING-HOME SALES HIT 9-YEAR HIGH IN JUNE Existing-home sales rose for the fourth consecutive month in June, reaching a nine-year high.

Sales of existing single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops increased 1.1% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.57 million, up from May’s downwardly revised 5.51 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. Firsttime buyers made up 33% of those transactions.

Obama administration takes aim at Anthem-Cigna, Aetna-Humana deals Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Obama administration took action Thursday to block two giant health care mergers, citing concerns the deals could drive up premiums, undermine innovation and reduce competition.

The Justice Department filed lawsuits challenging Anthem’s $48 billion acquisition of Cigna and Aetna’s $37 billion takeover of Humana, threatening to put an abrupt stop to the insurance industry’s rapid consolidation.

Eleven states and the District

of Columbia joined the attempt to block the Anthem deal, which would combine the nation’s second- and fourth-largest insurers.

Eight states and D.C. joined the suit to block the Aetna deal, which would combine the third and fifth largest.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch told reporters the mergers would “drastically” curb competition in the insurance industry, including by reducing the number of options for people who buy insurance on public exchanges.

“If these mergers were to take place, the competition among these insurers that has pushed them to provide lower premiums, higher-quality care and better

benefits would be eliminated,” Lynch said.

In a show of unity, Hartford, Conn.-based Aetna and Louisville-based Humana immediately issued a joint statement vowing to “vigorously” contest the government’s suit, saying their deal would improve the quality of care and lower costs while increasing insurance options for many Medicare patients.

The Anthem-Cigna alliance appears to be on shakier ground.

Cigna said in a statement the deal no longer would close in 2016, “and the earliest it could close is 2017, if at all,” adding it is “currently evaluating its options.”

Indianapolis-based Anthem called the challenge an “unfortunate and misguided step backward for access to affordable health care for America” and

pledged to fight the suit in court, though it signaled an openness to a settlement, which could involve divestitures.

A federal judge will decide whether the mergers are anticompetitive.

The American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association hailed the suit as critical to preserving accessible health care and fostering innovation among insurers.

The suits mark the latest in a series of steps taken by the Justice Department’s antitrust division to block corporate consolidation.

The division prevented oilfield services giant Halliburton’s acquisition of Baker Hughes and blocked retail and supplies company Staples’ purchase of Office Depot.

EXXON WINS $2.5B BIDDING WAR FOR INTEROIL Papua New Guinea oil and gas firm InterOil said Wednesday it accepted an offer from ExxonMobil, ditching a previous bid from Oil Search Limited, which opted not to engage further in a bidding war. The ExxonMobil offer is worth at least $2.5 billion, plus contingent payments. Oil Search, backed by France-based energy giant Total SA, had offered at least $2.2 billion.

KOMATSU BUYING JOY GLOBAL FOR $2.9 BILLION Joy Global, the largest independent maker of underground mining equipment, is being acquired by the second-biggest mining and construction equipment maker in the world for $2.89 billion.

Roger Ailes, chairman and CEO of Fox News Channel, stepped down Thursday, a startling fall from grace for one of the most powerful figures in American journalism.

The resignation, effective immediately, was announced by the network’s parent company, 21st Century Fox. Two weeks ago, Ailes was sued for sexual harassment by Gretchen Carlson, a former host of Fox & Friends who left the company last month when her contract wasn’t renewed.

Carlson said her career was sabotaged after she refused Ailes’ sexual advances. She also had “reported disparaging treatment in the newsroom,” including what she said was a “sexist and condescending” way her co-host, Steve Doocy, dealt with her, her lawsuit claimed.

Ailes has vigorously denied Carlson’s claims. But 21st Century Fox immediately launched an

Rupert Murdoch praised Ailes for his “remarkable contribution to our company.” internal investigation, interviewing other employees.

This week, a lawyer for Megyn Kelly, the network’s rising star, acknowledged she spoke to the investigators from the law firm Paul, Weiss. In the interview, she revealed she also was sexually harassed by Ailes in the past, according to a report by New York magazine. Other women also have recently told New York magazine’s Gabriel Sherman they were sexually harassed by Ailes prior to his

founding of Fox News in 1996.

With the scandal erupting rapidly, Fox executives began negotiating the 76-year old executive’s departure. Tuesday, Ailes’ lawyer, Susan Estrich, confirmed his negotiation with 21st Century Fox for severance. The company didn’t immediately comment on the severance package. But Sherman tweeted Thursday it could be as much as $60 million, paid out over time and including fees for consulting Fox after Ailes’ formal exit.

21st Century Fox and Fox News couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. Carlson also couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

Rupert Murdoch, executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, will assume the role of chairman and acting CEO of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. He will be aided by three of Ailes’ deputies in running the network: Bill Shine, Jay Wallace and Mark Kranz.

“Roger Ailes has made a remarkable contribution to our company and our country,” Murdoch said in a statement. “Roger

shared my vision of a great and independent television organization and executed it brilliantly over 20 great years.”

Murdoch didn’t directly address the sexual harassment scandal. But Murdoch’s sons — Lachlan Murdoch, 21st Century Fox’s co-executive chairman, and James Murdoch, the company’s CEO — who were negotiating closely with Ailes for his departure, jointly issued a statement that said they continue their “commitment to maintaining a work environment based on trust and respect.”

“We take seriously our responsibility to uphold these traditional, long-standing values of our company,” they said.

Said Rupert Murdoch: “It is always difficult to create a channel or a publication from the ground up and against seemingly entrenched monopolies. To lead a flourishing news channel, and to build Fox Business, Roger has defied the odds.”

Murdoch said he’s also “personally committed to ensuring that Fox News remains a distinctive, powerful voice.”

Facebook posts a short but successful Aquila test flight Solar aircraft made to deliver Internet almost anywhere Jessica Guynn @jguynn USA TODAY

As the summer sun rose over the Arizona desert, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and his team watched the Aquila lift off the runway at a military installation near the California border, the first time the unmanned solar-powered aircraft had taken to the skies.

Aquila, with the wingspan of a Boeing 737, remained aloft at low altitudes for 96 minutes, more than three times longer than Facebook originally planned.

Facebook had been testing a

much smaller-scale version of Aquila for several months, but this flight a month ago was the first true test of the aircraft.

Hoots and high-fives accompanied the successful launch, a milestone in Facebook’s mission to beam the Internet to people who don’t have it.

Circling a region, the aircraft will use new laser-beam technology to deliver fast Internet to people in a 60-mile radius. Aquila will transmit a signal that can be received by the antennas of small towers and dishes on the ground.

The antennas will convert the signal into Wi-Fi or 4G networks.

Facebook will have to solve some tough engineering problems — collecting enough energy during daylight hours to operate around the clock and designing high-energy, dense batteries that can efficiently store enough ener-

Facebook says Aquila remained in the air at low altitudes for 96 minutes, more than three times longer than planned. gy — before Aquila can complete its mission: to fly miles above the earth — 60,000 feet or more — for up to three months at a time. The current record for solar-powered unmanned flight is two weeks.

“We have a lot of work ahead of us,” says Jay Parikh, Facebook’s vice president of engineering.

Facebook isn’t the only company racing to bring affordable Internet to hundreds of millions of people in hard-to-reach stretches of the globe. In fact, the pace of innovation from tech giants and start-ups is ushering in an important new era of experimentation, says Kerri Cahoy, an associate

professor in MIT’s aeronautics and astronautics department.

Google parent company Alphabet is backing Project Loon, which uses high-altitude, windpropelled balloons to deliver the Internet. OneWeb Satellites, a joint venture between start-up OneWeb and Airbus Defense and Space, aims to build a new generation of small yet advanced satellites to offer Internet service, in part targeting developing regions.

Elon Musk’s Space X, too, aspires to use satellites to blanket the globe with Internet connectivity.

“I sure hope these technologies are groundbreaking enough to make it possible or make big steps toward making it possible,” Cahoy says.

Using solar-powered aircraft to broadcast high-speed Internet is not new, with previous efforts from the military and NASA.

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

It looked like the U.S. stock market might never stop going up. But the Dow’s nine-session winning streak was snapped Thursday, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 pulled back from its recent record.

Mark Arbeter, president of Arbeter Investments, says the stock market deserves a break after running to a fresh all-time peak at a breakneck pace, arguing that the pause will be a time for the market to refresh itself.

“It seems like at least some bears have finally thrown in the towel, while the bulls are dancing in the streets,” he told clients in a report. “You know what that means: It’s probably time for the pause (pullback) that refreshes.”

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

Arbeter says the Dow is basically bent over at the waist, hands on hips in a sign of fatigue after a nine-session sprint.

“This kind of market reminds me of an athlete who has been over training and finally hits the wall,” Arbeter wrote. “Progress stops as the body is telling you it needs a break. No difference in the market. Things have heated up here to the nth degree and the market needs a breather before (it) can move into unchartered territory.”

Thursday, the S&P 500 was down 0.4%, closing at 2,165.17.

Arbeter says it’s tough to call the exact time the market will take a break during a relentless push higher, whether it’s the 2,170 area on the S&P 500 or the 2,200 zone. But, he says “intuition — (and) momentum and sentiment indicators — is screaming for some down time.”

Princess exits, but toymaker has momentum

Q: Can Mattel survive without Disney Princess?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Mattel lost the lucrative license for Disney Princess dolls starting this year.

But the toy maker is trying to show it has some magic of its own.

Mattel’s moves to show there’s life without Disney Princess seem to be appeasing investors for now. The company late Wednesday reported quarterly revenue of $957.3 million, which was down 3% from the same year-ago period but 2% better than expected, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Similarly, the company posted an adjusted quarterly loss of 2 cents a share, but that was better than the 6 cents a share loss analysts expected.

Shares are up 21% this year to roughly $32.

Mattel is showing it has some momentum. Worldwide gross sales of Barbie rose 23% during the quarter. Much of the growth was due to licensing revenue from Universal and a fresher lineup of products, says Arpine Kocharyan, analyst at UBS. Worldwide gross sales of the company’s Wheels category, which includes Hot Wheels, was up 1%.

More work needs to be done, however, as the company faces hurdles. The American Girl brands posted a 19% decline in sales during the quarter, and Monster High is suffering shelf space challenges, Kocharyan says.

ECB keeps rates steady in first meeting since Brexit vote Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

In line with expectations, the European Central Bank kept current interest rates and levels of stimulus unchanged Thursday despite worries about how Britain’s vote to leave the European Union will affect the continent’s economy.

Meeting for the first time since last month’s referendum in the U.K., the ECB’s 25-member governing council voted to keep its lending rate at a record low zero

and its bond-buying program at $88 billion per month.

Britain’s departure from the EU may disrupt trade, and the Bank of England held off increasing stimulus at its last meeting as it takes stock of the situation.

ECB President Mario Draghi said in a news conference in Frankfurt the eurozone had shown “encouraging resilience” in the face of Brexit — a British EU exit — but that “over coming months with new information including staff projections we will be better able to reassess macroeconomic conditions.”

As part of Brexit, the U.K. may

EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

Long term, the European Central Bank wants inflation to be at or near 2%.

be forced out of the EU’s single market, a tariff-free trading bloc that covers 500 million people.

Draghi did not rule out increasing ECB stimulus at the next meeting in September if Brexit starts to affect the eurozone’s economic outlook.

“The ECB was fairly tightlipped about the impact of Brexit on the eurozone economic outlook, but the little information it released today did not sound overly alarmed,” Bill Adams, an economist at PNC Financial Services Group, said in emailed comments.

Long term, the ECB wants to raise inflation — currently just above zero — to what it considers a normal level, at or near 2%. It

also wants to strengthen economic growth across the 19 countries that use the euro currency.

The International Monetary Fund forecast that eurozone growth would decelerate to 1.4% in 2017 from 1.6% in 2016. Stock and currency markets did not immediately make strong moves following the ECB’s announcement.

The British pound has been under pressure from the dollar and euro for weeks.

The ECB said it would retain its current level of asset purchases, intended to inject money into the banking system, until March 2017.

New west Lawrence grocery a possibility Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A

s a man with a 13year old son who eats his meals not by the plate but rather by the pallet, I’m always keeping my eyes open for word of new grocery stores. Last week I provided an update on the latest efforts to land a store in downtown Lawrence, but that’s not the only place to keep an eye on. West Lawrence may be

a dark horse contender for a new store too.

The area near the new Bob Billings Parkway and the South Lawrence Trafficway interchange has some of the more interesting development possibilities in the city. As we reported long ago, the northeast quadrant of that interchange has about 15 acres of property that is

zoned for commercial and retail use. A grocery store certainly is high on the list of uses the local development group is seeking. I don’t want to create false expectations — no deal is imminent — but the site is starting to draw interest.

“We have had a lot of conversations with grocers,” said Tim Herndon, a representative of the

development group, and a longtime Lawrence land planning professional who is now working with Kansas City-based Wallace Engineering. “The time is just not quite right.”

But that may be changing. The interchange has only been open for a few months, and retailers are Please see GROCERY, page 3C

Grocery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

just now starting to see the new traffic counts that travel by the site each day.

“Everybody is still waiting to see what the traffic really will be,” Herndon said. “But they are beginning to understand that we now have an interchange connected to the front door of KU via parkway.”

With the opening of the interchange, city and KU leaders are planning on Bob Billings Parkway becoming the key gateway to the KU campus for travelers coming from the west.

In addition to grocery stores, Herndon said hotel operators also have been very interested in the property. Again, no deal is imminent, but the property is drawing good interest, and could really take off depending on how the City Commission deals with one issue.

Commissioners in the coming months will be asked to decide whether to allow new apartment development on the west side of the SLT. That project potentially could add 2,000 apartment units to the area over several years, although I’m hearing some talk the proposal may shrink some in size. Regardless, adding a thousand or more living units next door to the commercial area, plus the possibility for more as other areas west of the trafficway develop, would get the attention of even more retailers. Whether the project can win the support of city commissioners, though, is uncertain.

“Needless to say, that project would be fabulous for our project,” Herndon said. “But everything takes time.”

The project Herndon

Friday, July 22, 2016 is working on — which is dubbed Langston Heights and is being led by members of Lawrence’s Raney family — also has a residential component that is well underway.

It also is interesting because it is bucking a bit of a longtime trend. In recent years, residential construction in Lawrence has been skewed toward apartments and townhomes/duplexes.

There are some of those uses at Langston Heights, but the development has taken the unusual step of downzoning some property to accommodate single-family development.

Herndon has filed plans to have about five acres that already are approved for townhouse/ duplex construction downzoned to allow for single-family construction. The change will remove 28 duplex units from the project and replace them with 17 single-family homes.

“It has been a surprise to me that the single-family market has outpaced the town home market far and away,” Herndon said.

“It is the first time I have been involved in a master plan to downzone duplex zoning to single-family housing.”

Some of the singlefamily lots in Langston Heights — although not all of them — are using a relatively new zoning category that allows for a 5,000 square-foot lot rather than the more traditional 7,000 squarefoot lot. Herndon said that’s been popular with builders. The smaller lot comes at a more affordable price, and buyers haven’t been concerned about having less space.

“The fact is you can put as big of a house on the smaller lot,” Herndon said. “The significant difference is you just have less lawn to maintain. It is a sign of the times that

| 3C

some people are looking for that.”

Herndon said construction is about 80 percent complete on the first phase of the project, which is 30 acres of residential development.

He said utilities are now being installed for the second and final phase, which is another 15 acres of residential development.

In other news and notes: While I was talking with Herndon, I also learned details of one other west Lawrence development.

Look for Lawrence-based Rainbow International of NE Kansas to build a new office and shop building on a vacant lot in the 1300 block of Research Park Drive.

Rainbow is a company that specializes in restoring properties that have been damaged by water, fire, mold or other such hazards. It has space along Wakarusa Drive currently, but Herndon said the company has outgrown the location.

A tentative deal has been reached for Rainbow to build a new facility just southeast of the intersection of Legends Drive and Research Park Drive. The property is basically behind Neu Physical Therapy.

The deal does need city approval, though.

The property currently is zoned for an industrial business park use. In order for Rainbow to have the shop component of its business, the property needs to be rezoned to a light industrial zoning category, which allows for a broader range of industrial uses. Herndon has filed plans for the rezoning at City Hall, and also has agreed to limit some of the types of industrial uses that could be located on the property in the future.

US home construction posts solid increase

By Paul Wiseman

“

Continued job creation coupled with rising wages and low interest rates bodes well for a Washington — Con- broader rebound in housing demand as well struction of new homes as consumer spending.”

Associated Press

posted a solid increase in June, led by a surge of building in the Northeast and the West.

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that housing starts rose 4.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.19 million from a revised 1.14 million in May. The June reading was the highest level since February, but was down from 1.21 million a year earlier.

Construction of single-family homes rose 4.4 percent to 778,000.

Home construction jumped 46.3 percent in the Northeast and 17.4 percent in the West.

During the housing boom of the mid-2000s, housing starts sometimes ranged above a 1.7 million annual rate. In the bust that followed, they fell below 600,000.

Over the past year, they have mostly stayed between 1.1 million and 1.2 million. Builders this

#Get ealtor

— Neil Shankar, U.S. regional economist at TD Economics year have been eager to put up more single family houses, a switch from recent years when they focused more on apartments.

Super-low mortgage rates and a growing job market have encouraged home buying. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage ticked up 3.42 percent last week, staying close to its all-time low of 3.31 percent in November 2012.

“This morning’s report was quite upbeat,” Neil Shankar, U.S. regional economist at TD Economics, wrote in a research note. “Continued job creation coupled with rising wages and low interest rates bodes well for a broader rebound in housing demand as well as

consumer spending.”

Builders completed work last month on nearly 1.15 million homes at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, highest since September 2008.

Completions of apartments and condominiums — buildings with more than five residential units — reached 386,000, highest since February 1989.

Homebuilders remain confident about the outlook for the new-home market, according to a survey released Monday. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index dipped to 59 this month from 60 in June. But readings above 50 indicate that more builders view sales conditions as good, rather than poor.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ex-Lion pitcher major talent Long ago, before a bunch of nerds who were picked last on the playground, forever embittered because the prettiest girls in the class tended to like the jocks better, attempted to kidnap baseball with their calculators, the backs of baseball cards made for great reading.

Simple stats, ones quoted by tobacco-spitting, cussword-stringing, grumpy managers told interesting stories on the backs of baseball cards.

They still do.

Reading Royals closer Wade Davis’ numbers isn’t as fun as watching him dominate hitters with pitches shaped as if right out of video games. It doesn’t exactly qualify as dull reading, either.

Since the start of the 2014 season, Davis is 18-3 with a 1.01 ERA and has pitched 170 innings, allowed 89 hits and has walked 55 and struck out 216.

Phenomenal.

As for local pitchers from Lawrence, nobody’s are as mind-blowing as those of former Lawrence High lefthander Garrett Cleavinger, a native of Baldwin City.

A high school football star as well, Cleavinger, 22, stands 6-foot-1, weighs 210 pounds and does nothing but pile up W’s out of the bullpen.

He pitched for three seasons for the University of Oregon and was drafted in the third round by the Baltimore Orioles in June, 2015. After he signed, they assigned him to Aberdeen, a short-season Class A affiliate. He began this year at full-season Class A Delmarva of the South Atlantic League, made the all-star team and was moved up to advanced A ball, where he now pitches for Frederick.

Combine the statistics he compiled wearing his four post-LHS uniforms and what you get is dominance: 30-6, 1.87 ERA. In 1962⁄3 innings, he has allowed 119 hits and 95 walks and has 276 strikeouts.

It takes more than good numbers to keep moving up. It takes quality pitches that project well to the next level, which in Cleavinger’s case would be Double A. I asked Cleavinger’s high school coach, Brad Stoll, to put his scouting cap on to evaluate the former Lion lefty and do his best to pretend he does not know him personally.

Stoll coached him for two summers in the Cape Cod League while Cleavinger was in college.

“Just on pure velocity alone, a left-hander pitching in the mid-’90s is going to help him go a long way,” Stoll said by phone from Cape Cod, Mass. “And the ability to throw the slider, that’s always been a really good pitch for him.

“Watching him compete in the Cape as our closer for two summers, his second summer he was facing really, really good hitters

Pitches count

Innings no longer the limit for pitchers

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Instead of looking at the number of innings pitched, high school baseball teams will be counting pitches thrown next season.

The National Federation of State High School Associations adopted a “pitching restriction policy based on the number of pitches thrown in a game” last week.

It will be up to the Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) to determine the number of pitches allowed in each game and the required days of rest between pitching appearances. That decision will likely be made in the fall.

Last season, KSHSAA asked schools to input pitch counts and days of rest between pitching appearances into a database, researching the number of pitches thrown in most games.

Previously, Kansas had an innings limit instead of pitch count restrictions. Pitchers were allowed to throw nine innings in one day and 12 innings over a 48-hour period.

“That certainly makes sense,” Free State High coach Mike Hill said of the rule change. “An innings limit doesn’t really indicate to you the amount of pitches a kid has thrown. In my analysis, it’s the amount of pitches that provide the wear and tear on an arm, not the amount of innings. It totally makes sense to go that route.”

Hill, who served on the national rules committee that made the recommendation to the national federation, said he expects KSHSAA to follow something similar to Major League Baseball’s PitchSmart guidelines.

MLB and USA baseball recommends a limit of 105

For 15- to 16-year-old pitchers, the daily limit is 95 pitches.

“I’m all for it, man,” Lawrence High coach Brad Stoll said. “I think it’s going to protect these kids across the board and I’m in favor of it.

I wish it was in place from little league all the way up.”

Stoll, who is an assistant coach in the summer with the Falmouth Commodores in the prestigious Cape Cod League, noted there is a priority on pitch counts in his college baseball summer league. Those pitchers are potential MLB draft picks and they are trying to avoid injuries before the upcoming college season.

But he wishes the pitch

count restrictions trickled down to youth baseball.

“As a father of a 10 and 13 year old, I really wish it was in place in those leagues,” Stoll said. “I see things at my sons’ games that just blow my mind because I know some of those kids are just getting abused.

Svi, Ukraine meet German team today

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk’s Ukrainian national team will meet Germany in the quarterfinals of the FIBA Under 20 world championships today in Finland.

Winner will meet either Spain or Latvia on Saturday.

The 6-foot-8 Mykhailiuk has averaged 12.8 points (off 33.9 percent shooting, 19 percent from three) 6.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists while averaging 29.9 minutes a game for Ukraine (3-1).

“I want to help make my teammates better, represent my country and try to win every game,” said Mykhailiuk, who had 17 points, six in overtime, in a 72-70 win over Latvia. He had 14 points and 11 rebounds in a loss to Slovenia and 12 points in a Please see KEEGAN, page 3D win over Serbia.

“I am trying to do what is best for my team, not for myself. I’m a leader on this team. I have to help my team win. It doesn’t matter how — score, make assists, play defense, sit on the bench,” he added to FIBA.com.

Coach of the Ukrainian team is Maksym Mikhelson, who traveled to Lawrence last year to work with Mykhailiuk when his Jayhawk teammates traveled to the World University Games in South Korea.

He was ineligible to play since he’s not a U.S. citizen.

“He has been my coach all my life. He trusts me and I trust him,” Mykhailiuk told FIBA.com. l

Robinson to attend Late Night: Jeremiah Robinson, a 6-foot-7 sophomore power forward from Roeland Park Bishop Miege High, will attend KU’s Late Night in the

Phog on an unofficial campus visit, Robinson told Jayhawkslant.com on Thursday.

Robinson, the son of former KU forward Lester Earl, is playing for KC Run GMC in the Jayhawk Summer Finale AAU tournament at the Drive5 Sports Complex in Overland Park.

Robinson said he is considering KU, Washington, Wake Forest, Creighton, Notre Dame, Virginia, Memphis, Stanford, North Carolina and others.

“It’s crazy. He had a 40inch vertical. He’s more of a power dunker, rebounder, shot blocker. I think I can shoot better than him, pass a little better than him,” Robinson told Jayhawkslant. com, referring to his dad.

“His athleticism is a whole lot better than me. He’s helping me work on that.”

Brown, Jr., a 6-foot-6 senior shooting guard from Centennial High in Las Vegas, tells Zagsblog.com he’s looking to cut his list of schools soon.

Brown, who is playing in the NY2LA Summer Showdown in his hometown of Vegas, has a list of KU, Duke, Cal, Arizona, Oregon, Stanford, UNLV, UCLA and others.

“I feel like I need to take my visits and figure out where I’m going to go and just get on campus and talk to the coaches about what position I’m going to play and what they see for my future,” Brown told Zagsblog.com.

“I would say building a one-on-one connection with the coach (is most important),” he added “That’s huge for me, especially if I

The NBA is moving the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte because of its objections to a North Carolina law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.

The league had expressed its opposition to the law known as HB2 since it was enacted in March, and its decision Thursday came less than a month after state legislators revisited the law and chose to leave it largely unchanged.

COMMENTARY

How can a league be expanding and, potentially, coming apart for the long haul at the same time? Welcome to the Big 12, where all things are possible and everything is never what it seems to be on the surface.

Case in point: Tuesday’s announced plans for Commissioner Bob Bowlsby to sound out potential expansion candidates with an eye toward having a two- or four-team influx of newcomers in the mix to try to earn berths in the resurrected 2017 Big 12 football championship game.

The announcement triggered celebrations from school administrators at Power Five conference wannabes from coast-to-coast, all with visions of dollar signs and long-term stability in college football’s ever-changing landscape dancing in their heads.

The money, without question, will be there for BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, Central Florida, Connecticut or any other school the Big 12 chooses to include in its version of the cool-kids club. But long-term stability? There’s no guarantee of that in the nation’s most dysfunctional major conference.

In fact, a strong case could be made from reading between the lines of comments

by Big 12 administrators that this shapes up as a short-term money grab by existing members to brace themselves for the possibility that the league may not outlive its TV deals with ESPN and Fox that expire after the 2024-25 school year.

A huge driving force is the lure of additional TV revenues from the Big 12’s existing media partners that require carriers to pay the league current market value for each additional member during the life of the contract.

Those newcomers, in turn, could agree to join the league for partial financial shares on phase-in deals similar to the ones given to TCU and West Virginia when they joined the league in 2012 before receiving their first full shares of league disbursements ($30.4 million per school) in June.

Bottom line: For easy math purposes, let’s say the two TV partners are required to pay a combined $25 million per season for each Big 12 addition during the life of this contract.

But four new schools agree to phase-in deals capped at $10 million for the 2017-18 school year. Suddenly, there is a $15 million differential between TV money received and revenues disbursed for each of the four schools, accounting for an extra $60 million to split between the 10 existing members ($6 million each) in 2017-18.

DUSTIN JOHNSON BLASTS OUT OF A BUNKER ON THE NINTH HOLE during the first round of the Canadian Open on Thursday in Oakville, Ontario.

Johnson, List share Canadian Open lead Oakville, Ontario — Dustin Johnson made a 10-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th hole Thursday for a 6-under 66 and a share of the Canadian Open lead with Luke List.

“My game feels good,” Johnson said. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in it. I feel like I’m swinging really well. I felt like I rolled the ball really nicely with the putter today. I’m definitely driving the ball nicely. I’ve got a lot of confidence in the driver. I feel like I can hit it in the fairway.”

The U.S. Open champion set up the eagle with a 364-yard drive and 150-yard approach.

In windy conditions at sun-baked Glen Abbey, he also had seven birdies and drove into the water on the par-4 14th en route to a double bogey.

“I drove it in the fairway a bunch. That was definitely very helpful,” Johnson said. “The conditions were tough. The wind was blowing pretty hard. I felt like I played really well. I just made one bad swing on 14, just didn’t quite commit to the shot I was hitting. Then I got a little unlucky for it to go in the water there. But other than that, I thought I played really, really nicely all day long.”

He played the three back-nine par-5 holes in 4 under.

“I like this golf course,” said Johnson, ranked second in the world. “I think it sets up well for me. I like it off the tee. The conditions are really tough right now. The greens are really firm, but they are rolling really nicely. So if you get some good looks at it, you can hole some putts.”

List birdied all four par 5s in a round he closed with seven pars.

“I was happy with that,” List said. “With my length, I tried to get it in play off the tee and have a smart iron into the par 5s. If I can play them 4 under every day all week, that would be great. ... The rough is down this year, which makes for if you’re hitting your driver relatively straight, you can take advantage of it and get some wedges out there.”

Canadian amateur Jared du Toit was a stroke back along with former Arizona State teammate Jon Rahm, Chesson Hadley and Kelly Kraft. Coming off his junior season for the Sun Devils, du Toit holed out with an 8-iron for eagle on the par-4 17th and birdied 18.

GOLF

Austin tops Senior British Carnoustie, Scotland — Woody Austin made four birdies in a six-hole stretch on the back nine and finished with a 4-under 68 to take the first-round lead in the Senior British Open.

The 52-year-old Austin rebounded from bogeys on Nos. 9 and 10 with birdies on 11, 12, 14 and 16. He has struggled after winning three times in four events this year on the PGA Tour Champions.

“It seems, I forgot how to play after that,” Austin said. “It’s been really bad since. It’s been unfortunately a long stretch of really ugliness.”

CYCLING

Froome increases Tour lead Megeve, France — Take it from cycling great Eddy Merckx: Nobody can beat Chris Froome in this Tour de France.

Riding with the poise and purpose of the Tour’s undisputed leader, Froome won a mountain time trial in Stage 18 on Thursday and opened up a seemingly insurmountable lead of nearly four minutes over his closest challenger, Dutch rider Bauke Mollema.

Only two Alpine stages remain before Sunday’s mostly ceremonial finish on the ChampsElysees in Paris.

“He deserves his win. He’s the strongest,” said Merckx, a five-time Tour winner.

Riding in a yellow bodysuit and yellow aerodynamic helmet, Froome pumped his right fist after clocking slightly more than half an hour over the 17-kilometer (10.5-mile) route from Sallanches to the Megeve ski resort — which featured majestic views of Mont Blanc.

Froome finished 21 seconds ahead of Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin to take his second stage win of this year’s Tour.

Froome increased his overall lead to 3 minutes, 52 seconds over Mollema, with Adam Yates of Britain third, 4:16 behind.

PRO BASKETBALL

Green case may be resolved East Lansing, Mich. — An attorney for Golden State Warriors player Draymond Green says a misdemeanor assault-andbattery charge from a confrontation near the Michigan State campus could be resolved before the U.S. basketball team competes in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

James Heos told the Lansing State Journal that Green appeared during a closed-door pretrial conference Thursday in East Lansing District Court via FaceTime. The U.S. team starts play in Rio on Aug. 6.

Governor wants Houston in Austin, Texas — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is demanding that the University of Houston be included in any expansion of the Big 12 Conference.

In a message posted on social media, Abbott said: “Big 12 expansion is a non-starter unless it includes University of Houston.” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Abbott’s fellow Texas Republican and a former Houston radio talk show host, also messaged: “I join with GregAbbott-TX — any BIG 12 expansion must include UHouston or NO DEAL!”

Obama welcomes Royals to White House Expectations high for KU offense

Washington (ap) — The Kansas City Royals are going to have to work on their nicknames as far as President Barack Obama is concerned. Everything else was looking pretty good, though, as he honored the 2015 World Series champions at the White House on Thursday, describing them as one of the “grittiest, most complete teams we’ve seen in a long time.”

The Royals last visited the White House in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan saluted their “never-say-die spirit” in the Rose Garden.

The 2015 team showed the same quality. Six outs away from playoff elimination, the Royals scored seven runs to defeat the Houston Astros.

They went on to win that series and to beat the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets.

Obama noted that the Royals held the record for comeback wins in the playoffs.

Obama also acknowledged that it had been a long time between visits to the White House for Kansas City.

“Let’s face it, it’s been a long road for Royals fans,” Obama said. “There were some dark years, some tough decades.”

But Obama said that began to change when General Manager Dayton Moore was hired

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HOLDS UP A PERSONALIZED KANSAS CITY ROYALS BASEBALL JERSEY for a group photo during a ceremony Thursday in the East Room of the White House in Washington, where the president honored the 2015 World Series champions. and the Royals started to develop talented players through their minorleague system. Among them: outfielder Alex Gordon, infielders Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez.

Obama called all of the players by their nicknames: “Gordo,” ‘‘Moose,” ‘‘Hos” and “Salvy.” But the president didn’t seem to find those too creative.

“We’re going to have to work on these,” Obama said.

“When the president calls you out, you defi-

nitely got to start thinking about something,” Hosmer said after the ceremony. “We’ve got some guys in the locker room, I’m sure they’re starting to bear down on that.”

However, Obama admitted to liking outfielder Jarrod Dyson’s description of one of the team’s top weapons: “That’s what speed do.”

“That’s a good quote,” Obama said.

Obama noted that his spokesman, Josh Earnest, was a big Royals fan, and that the Royals’ visit Thursday was right up

there as far as best days ever. Manager Ned Yost, Hosmer and Perez interrupted the day’s press briefing to present the Kansas City, Mo., native with a team jersey, an upgraded mug and an autographed World Series baseball. Yost said the team didn’t want Earnest to get into trouble “by him trying to hijack” the president’s jersey.

The team gave Obama a Royals jersey with the number 44 in gold lettering, which nicely matched the ornate drapes in the White House East Room.

Chiefs safeguarding stars’ knees St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs might want to have Dr. James Andrews on speed dial.

Or better yet, fly him into training camp.

When the Chiefs begin their run-up to the regular season on the campus of Missouri Western the last week of July, they will do so with the biggest question marks involving the knees of some key players: running back Jamaal Charles, pass rusher Tamba Hali and star outside linebacker Justin Houston.

Charles had surgery on his right ACL early last season, Hali had a procedure to clean out his knees and Houston had surgery on his left ACL — performed by Andrews, the renowned orthopedic surgeon — in February.

How the three of them fare this season could be the difference between success and failure.

“The important thing with them,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said, “is you don’t rush it.”

So Charles will be treated with velvet gloves during training camp, even though he participated in some of the offseason minicamps. Hali will also see limited reps. Houston is unlikely to practice until well into the regular season, though the Chiefs are optimistic he will make it onto the field at some point.

“He’s where he needs to be right now,” Reid said. “He’s a hard worker, so he’s bound and determined to get back. I’ve told you before, when you’re around him, you have this optimism. I feel optimistic that he is going

Keegan

to be back in a short period of time.”

There are plenty of other pressing issues facing Kansas City this fall.

Here are some of them:

Running back committee The Chiefs survived without Charles last season thanks to the tandem of Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West.

Knile Davis is still on the roster, too. So one of the big questions facing Kansas City is whether there will be enough opportunities to go around.

“There’s competition, but it’s not competition individually,” Ware said. “It’s reflectively as a group, saying, ‘Let’s do our job and let’s score touchdowns.’”

tor Doug Pederson departed in the offseason to become head coach in Philadelphia, and Reid turned to a pair of trusted lieutenants to fill his role.

Matt Nagy was promoted from quarterbacks coach to co-offensive coordinator and will be the voice in the helmet of quarterback Alex Smith, while Brad Childress became the other co-offensive coordinator.

Backing up Alex Chase Daniel was so dependable as the backup quarterback the past few years that he signed a big contract to do the same thing in Philadelphia.

Stoll said. “He’s a wonderful, caring person.

When it comes to being a teammate, he’ll be a great clubhouse guy because he cares and wants other guys to succeed. He’s not going to make mistakes and do anything to embarrass his organization or his family.”

If all goes well for Cleavinger, he could make his major-league debut as soon as 2018.

“Relief pitching is the fastest track to the big leagues,” Stoll said. “I’m so excited for him.”

Sure, everyone’s excited for him, but let’s be honest: We’re excited for ourselves.

How cool would it be to turn on the TV and see a pitcher who it seems like just yesterday was winning football and baseball games for the Lions?

Pitches

a UCL to fray. It’s totality of what’s happened over time. Whether it’s the seven- or eight-yearold level when kids start pitching, or in my opinion, to the college game, pitch limits are important to protect our kids.

“In our game, this is our version of concussions.

We need to act now on the front end of this before it becomes more of a problem for baseball players.”

One of the benefits

for large-school baseball teams in Kansas is typically teams only play two or three times in a week. That allows pitchers to naturally fit in their required days of rest between pitching appearances.

“For us, we don’t feel like this is going to have any impact on what we do,” Hill said. “I think this is true of a lot of coaches in the Sunflower League. We’ve already tried to be overprotective on arms.”

At an American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine meeting last year, one study presented from Rush University in Chicago found 56.7 percent of Tommy John surgeries

are performed for 15- to 19-year-olds.

Tommy John surgery involves the reconstruction of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), which replaces the elbow ligament that essentially holds the upper and lower arm together with a tendon from elsewhere in the body.

“Arm injuries are totality injuries. They are not something that happens in one moment,” Hill said.

“One pitch doesn’t cause

When Kansas University’s football team opens camp during the first week of August, second-year head coach David Beaty will have one major expectation about the newlook Air Raid offense.

“Oh, they better know it all,” Beaty said. “Every bit of it. If they don’t, then we have no shot. Because what we do is so simple, it’s complex. There’s no reason why they wouldn’t know it. And they know it.”

Much like the first offense under Beaty, which was installed, run and called by offensive coordinator Rob Likens, who maintained that title this season but will no longer call plays, the new incarnation of the tempo-based offense was installed quickly.

Day One, Day Two, Day Three. Rinse and repeat. Over and over and over this spring.

It’s that type of installation system, which exposes players to three looks at the three phases of the offense in every nine-day period that has Beaty expecting his players to know it inside and out by now, rust or no rust.

“We’re on that now, and that stays that way the entire year,” Beaty said. “So we’re basically done installing. Everything’s in. It was in after three days.”

The focus now, of course, shifts to fine-tuning, polishing and developing the players within the offense.

“We’re just continuing to do it over and over and over again and finewine it. We’re trying to get everybody to understand where everyone’s gonna be. We need to know your thought be-

fore you know your thought.”

One aspect that could stall the progress of KU’s new offense is the uncertainty at its most important position. Junior Montell Cozart and sophomore Ryan Willis appear to be the top contenders to start at quarterback this fall. But red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley, along with others, also could factor into the race. Each day that passes without a clear-cut starter represents a delay toward moving forward full-speed ahead.

With that said, Beaty has been encouraged by the reports he has received from both players and strength coaches about the summer workouts.

“We can’t do much with ’em in the summer,” Beaty explained. “But they’re out there going through stuff on their own. They’re out there throwing and working routes and going through seven-on-seven three or four times a week. And I know, just from hearing and talking to our quarterbacks after meetings, that things are going well.”

That helped set the bar for his expectations for two weeks from now, when the Jayhawks open preseason camp on the 2016 season. And because his players will get just a short time to return home before reporting to camp — three days at the end of the month — Beaty fully expects the carryover the team enjoyed from spring to summer to transition seamlessly from summer to camp.

“These poor dudes, they don’t get much time off any more,” Beaty joked. “So I’m hoping that they can catch their breath because we’re gonna hit it running.”

BRIEFLY is receiving the honor for the second-straight year.

Dodgers 6, Nationals 3 Washington — Justin Turner homered twice and drove in five runs, and the Dodgers ended Stephen Strasburg’s undefeated streak by beating Washington on Thursday.

Turner hit his 16th and 17th home runs, a tworun shot off Strasburg in the first and a three-run shot off the right-hander in the third, to set a career high.

Howie Kendrick extended his hitting streak to 13 games, and Adrian Gonzalez also drove in a run for the Dodgers.

They beat the Nationals for the fifth time in six games this season.

Strasburg (13-1) lost for the first time since Sept.

9, ending a run of 16 consecutive winning decisions. Making it through the sixth, he allowed a season-high six earned runs and seven hits — all in the first three innings — and struck out 10.

Before Strasburg could settle down, the Dodgers crushed the ball against him, including a double off the left-field wall from Gonzalez and Turner’s two home runs. At one point, Strasburg struck out seven of nine Los Angeles batters and allowed just one base-runner after the third.
