s she prepared a dish Wednesday before about 120 people attending the sixth-annual Douglas County Fair’s Chefs Challenge, Sarah Hess described her cooking style as “all-American anarchy.” To demonstrate her style, Hess, the chef at John Brown’s Underground in downtown Lawrence, employed a gas torch to char okra, which was a required ingredient in this year’s challenge. The torch served a practical purpose — the charring would help keep the okra from becoming slimy — but Hess joked she also wanted to make the appropriate impression on the three local fire chiefs who served as the event’s judges: Mike Baxter of the Wakarusa Township — Laurie Walker, Fire DepartDouglas County ment, Mark Extension master Bradford of food volunteer LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical and Ken Keiter of the Eudora Fire Department. Hess’ showmanship would make her style more anarchical. “It got a little nerve-wracking when the torch went out and I couldn’t get it restarted,” she said after her presentation. Hess got the torch to work well enough to win the challenge against Raven Naramore of Raven’s Table Catering of Baldwin City. They were the only contestants after Meg Heriford of Ladybird Diner withdrew because of a death in her family.

“

(OKRA IS) TASTY, and there’s a lot of good things you can make with it.”

Topeka — An audit released Wednesday accused the Kansas Department for Children and Families of failing in many cases to protect the safety of children in the state’s foster care and adoption programs, prompting two House Democrats to call for the immediate resignation of DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore. But Gilmore rejected many of the report’s findings, saying auditors used faulty methods to collect their data, and she insisted the state Inside: Kanis doing a good job of sas plans to protecting children in ask the federal governstate custody. Among the signifi- ment soon cant findings in the to recertify part of the audit: state mental l DCF sometimes fails to ensure that hospital in background checks Osawatoare conducted on li- mie. 5A censed foster care providers or, when children are placed with family members, on those relatives who agree to take in those foster children. l DCF does not always ensure that social workers conduct monthly inhome visits of children in foster care, adoptive homes or children reintegrated with their families. l Children are often placed in foster care or adoptive homes that do not have sufficient living space or financial resources to handle them, and the agency grants about 98 percent of all requests for exceptions to standard living space and financial resource standards. l DCF does not have an adequate process to ensure that licensed foster homes have sufficient financial resources. l DCF has not yet implemented several recommendations for its child protective services functions that were made in another audit three years ago. l And, under the state’s privatized child welfare system, the outside agencies that recruit and sponsor foster homes are also responsible for regulating them, setting up a potential conflict of interest.

Hess didn’t have a name for her dish — which included salmon, fresh tomatoes, couscous, arugula and, of course, okra — but she dubbed it “American frenzy,” when pressed. Her 20-minute cooking presentation, which was also rated on the judges’ scorecards, was as spontaneous as her cooking style. “I didn’t have a script,” she said. “I would have forgotten it if I had. I worried I wouldn’t have anything to say.” That wasn’t a problem, in part, because last year’s Chefs Challenge winner, Simon Bates of The Burger Stand, kept the informative banter flowing as the event’s MC. He asked about Hess’ and Naramore’s backgrounds and focused on their shared dedication to using fresh, local food whenever possible. Naramore, who was raised on a farm north of Lawrence, said she used food grown by local producers Tom Buller and Willing Horse Farm of Lawrence, Bauman’s Butcher Block of Ottawa and Steve Pierce of Baldwin City, for her cornokra pudding. Hess said she was equally devoted to local food because it tasted better and because it reduced the carbon footprint of her kitchen by reducing transportation cost. Adding to the evening entertainment was the running joke about the featured ingredient. As she finished a demonstration poster titled “Fun Facts about Okra” before the challenge started, Laurie Walker, Douglas County Extension master food volunteer, said okra had a “bad rap.” “It’s tasty, and there’s a lot of good things you can make with it.” A couple of okra fun facts Walker listed were that okra is best when it’s about the size of a finger and that it was first harvested in Ethiopia. Fellow Douglas County Extension master food volunteer Mary Locniskar said okra was selected because of its many health benefits and its presence in local gardens. There were a number of firsts for this year’s Chefs Challenge, Locniskar said. The master food volunteers and Douglas County Extension master gardeners took over management of the event from the Douglas County Food Policy Council, which ran the challenge the first five years. It was also the first year the challenge was held indoors, with the chefs and the audience enjoying the air-conditioned comfort of the just-finished meeting hall on the fairgrounds. This was also the first year that audience members determined 20 percent of the contest’s outcome after enjoying a small plate of Hess’ and Naramore’s entries. They, too, slightly favored Hess when she edged Naramore with a late spike on an applause meter. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 or ejones@ljworld.com.

BRIEFLY Changes to transit routes begin Monday After compiling input from riders this winter, the Lawrence Transit System made route changes that go into effect Monday. All of the system’s current destinations — such as East Hills Business Park, Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Rock Chalk Park — will keep their service, but they will be part of different routes and have buses stop at different times. Robert Nugent, administrator of the Lawrence Transit System, has said the changes were based on ridership. The changes to routes are: l Route 1 will start serving the Lawrence Community Shelter. l Route 3, which has been a flex route that picks people up downtown and takes them anywhere in the north-central area of the city, will become a fixed route in that same area. It will service Lawrence Memorial Hospital. l Route 6, which currently goes from downtown to the Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive intersection, will extend to Rock Chalk Park and Sports Pavilion Lawrence. l Route 15, created to serve Peaslee Technical Training Center, will now also go to Connecticut Street and Barker Drive and East Hills Business Park. l Routes 5, 7 and 10 will now make stops every 30 minutes instead of every hour. Route 5 travels between south Iowa Street and East Hills Business Park, and route 7 goes from downtown to south Iowa Street. Route 10 travels between downtown and Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive. The public had five opportunities this winter to comment on the proposed changes. “People move around a lot,” Nugent said at the time of the meetings. “If you don’t watch and see what’s going on and watch their ridership level on routes and see how your routes are performing on time, if you don’t monitor that all the time, I think you’re lacking on your duties. And so we watch it all the time.” A full list of routes and stops is available at lawrencetransit.org.

Worker injured in HERE accident An electrical accident injured a worker Monday morning at the HERE Kansas construction site near Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium, investigators say. Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief James King said that around 8:15 a.m. Monday a boom truck being used to lift materials at the site came too close to overhead power lines, shocking the truck operator as a result. The injured worker was transported to an area hospital, but King could not say which hospital or provide a condition update. The HERE site, which will host apartments and retail shops, is just south of 11th Street between Indiana and Mississippi streets. James Letchinger, president of JDL Development, the group behind HERE, said on Tuesday that he was unaware of the accident. Further information was not immediately available.

County Commission budget hearing moved After the Douglas County Commission worked through its agenda in less than five minutes Wednesday, County Administrator Craig Weinaug informed commissioners of a need to reschedule the commission's annual budget hearing. When commissioners approved a 2017 budget for publication July 20, they set the hearing for the budget for their Aug. 17 meeting. On Wednesday, Weinaug said state statute requires the budget hearing to be before Aug. 15. He suggested instead the hearing be set for Aug. 10. Commissioners will consider approval of a budget after the hearing.

KanCare Medicaid providers worry about reimbursement cuts Salina (ap) — Kansas Medicaid providers have told federal officials that reimbursement cuts by the state are placing them under an added financial strain. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that providers for KanCare recipients told officials at a forum Tuesday that they worry the cuts will harm patient access to services. The forum was organized by the KanCare Advocates Network due to mounting frustration over a backlog of unprocessed Medicaid applications. Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration cut KanCare provider reimburse-

ment rates earlier this summer by 4 percent as part of measures to balance the budget. The cuts went into effect July 1 and save the state about $38 million a year. Sean Gatewood with the KanCare Advocates Network says the program is in crisis. Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services spokeswoman Angela de Rocha says most of the program’s 420,000 beneficiaries and the more than 52,000 enrolled in the children’s health insurance program are receiving the care they need. Big Lakes Developmental Center director Lori

Feldkamp said the facility in Manhattan stopped taking new admissions in May. According to Feldkamp, the center cannot find workers to fill all of its open positions. Feldkamp said that most qualified workers are already employed and luring them from their current jobs takes money. She says some of those funds are taken away by reimbursement funds. “Capacity and service access issues are only going to get worse and need to be addressed through an increase in reimbursement rates. Failure to do so will reduce service options to the point where there are none available,” Feldkamp said.

Jeremy Armstrong, CEO of Mitchell County Hospital in Beloit, said the facility will lose about $65,000 a year due to the cut. The facility has 17 Medicaid residents in its long-term care unit. “For larger organizations, that might not seem like a whole lot of money. For us, I can assure you, it’s a significant amount of money,” Armstrong said. De Rocha said the state does not believe that the reimbursement cuts have any potential to harm patients. Some lawmakers may try to have the cuts reversed when the Legislature reconvenes in January.

The magazine states that the waters of the wetlands are “the perfect environment for a variety of flowers, plants, birds, and insects. Visitors using the surrounding trails might just be able to catch a glimpse of a beautiful blue heron.” Such a list by definition is subjective. But I’m passing it along anyway because it is a nice piece of national publicity for Lawrence, and it is also kind of rare for Lawrence to get this type of publicity for things that don’t involve a Jayhawk or Massachusetts Street. Plus, it is a good reminder about the wetlands. As we have reported, Baker University is trying to increase the prominence of the wetlands. It has opened a new Wetlands Discovery Center that was funded by mitigation money related to the South Lawrence Trafficway project. The entire wetlands — which basically are southwest of 31st and Haskell Avenue — are 927 acres, with a mix of longtime wetlands and newer ones that were built as part of the South Lawrence Trafficway mitigation project. In addition, I think those numbers don’t likely include what I consider to be a separate set of wetlands owned by Haskell Indian Nations University. Those wetlands are on the north side of 31st Street. — Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362 or clawhorn@ljworld.com.

Plains CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A l North Dakota: down 11.4 percent A couple of our neighboring states aren’t in the Plains region. Oklahoma saw GDP decline by 0.5 percent, while Colorado saw a 3 percent increase. As for why Kansas’ economy has grown more robustly than others in the Plains region, the numbers suggest it is because the agriculture sector has performed better here than elsewhere. The first quarter numbers show that of the 2 percent annual increase in Kansas, the agriculture sector accounted for 1.16 percentage points of the gain. In other words, the majority of our gains came from the agriculture sector. Compare that to what was happening in the other Plains states, where the agriculture sector reduced GDP by about 1.4 percentage points. Why has Kansas’ agriculture sector performed better than others? I don’t know. (I thought it was Colorado who legalized a new cash crop.) Kansas performed better than the region in a couple of other areas too. One was durable goods manufacturing — that’s things like airplanes — where we posted an increase while the region posted a decline. Our retail trade sector also grew a bit more robustly than the region’s. One area where we underperformed quite a bit was construction. The sector did grow — it added 0.15 percentage points to our growth — but Kansas’ growth rate was the second slowest in the region. All in all, this is good news for Kansas. GDP is the broadest measure of an economy, so it gives us a good look at whether business activity is on the upswing. But in a sign of the times for Gov. Sam Brownback, these numbers could be interpreted as bad news for his administration. The reason: These numbers are for the first quarter of 2016. Thus far, 2016 hasn’t been a good year for tax collections in Kansas. The governor has said that’s because the three most important parts of the Kansas economy — agriculture, oil and gas, and manufacturing — have all been hit by negative economic forces. But this report shows Kansas had the best economic growth rate in the region. That type of performance would lead you to believe that tax collections should be on the rise. If they aren’t, that will suggest to some that we have a tax policy problem rather than an economy problem. The governor has strenuously rejected that thinking, holding firm to the idea that his tax cuts are sound policy. This one could be spun many different ways, and probably will be as election season heats up. Perhaps these first quarter numbers are the canary in the coal mine, and future tax returns are about to see an uptick. I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure out what Kansas farmers are growing behind the barn. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears on LJWorld.com.

State to ask for recertification of part of mental hospital soon Topeka — Kansas plans to ask the federal government soon to recertify part of its state mental hospital in Osawatomie, a top social services official said Wednesday, a move that would restore less than half of its lost federal funding. Tim Keck, interim secretary for the state Department for Aging and Disability Services, said Kansas plans to seek recertification of 60 of the 206 beds at Osawatomie State Hospital, about 45 miles southwest of Kansas City. He said the hospital is close to finishing renovations on a 60-bed unit, aimed at complying with federal officials’ demands for changes. The state has been losing about $1 million a month in federal funds since the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services decertified Osawatomie in December. The action came after several safety issues, including a patient being charged with raping an employee. The Legislature’s joint auditing committee on Wednesday reviewed a report that said the state would regain $400,000 a month in federal funds if 60 beds are recertified — but still would lose

$600,000 a month. Keck told lawmakers his department isn’t sure it will seek to recertify additional beds because it isn’t sure what federal officials will demand for the rest of the hospital. “We’ll have to see after we get through this part of it,” Keck said. “Part of it is how reasonable we’re treated by CMS when they come in to do recertification.” Legislators boosted state spending on Osawatomie and the state’s mental hospital in Larned in western Kansas earlier this year to increase employees’ pay, help fill staff vacancies and offset the loss of the federal funds. Keck’s department once hoped to apply for recertification by July, but he said Wednesday, “That wasn’t a deadline at all.” Keck told The Associated Press after appearing before the committee that the department would apply for recertification “very, very, very soon.” The legislative audit said state a recertification could take from two to four months while federal officials told the auditors it could take from nine to 15 months. Federal officials did not immediately return telephone and email messages seeking comment.

Keck attributed federal officials’ more pessimistic assessment to their not seeing the progress Osawatomie has made in renovating the 60-bed unit, boosting staffing and improving care. The hospital dropped its capacity to 146 beds to accommodate the renovations. The changes are designed to eliminate the risk that patients kill themselves by hanging or self-strangling by surrounding them with modernistic plastic furniture, handles that give way and doors with alarms on top. CMS first threatened to cut off federal funds in November 2014, when the hospital was 25 percent over its 206-bed capacity. It demanded the renovations in July 2015. Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat, told Keck, who became interim secretary in January, “I think you’ve done a very good job in taking over a very tough situation and moving forward.” But Kelly also asked Keck how the state would sustain its short-term improvements in staffing over time. Keck acknowledged that “everything costs more money,” adding that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback “seems to be on board with it.”

Now is the time to step up CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A and get serious about improving a broken The audit was released system that is failing Kansas kids. ” by the Division of Post Audit, an agency that is under the direction of a joint legislative committee. The portion released Wednesday covered only the first phase of a wideranging review of DCF’s management of the foster care and adoption programs that lawmakers requested after a series of high-profile incidents in which children had died or suffered abuse abuse neglect while they were in state custody. One of those was a 10-month-old girl, Kadillak Poe-Jones, who died in July 2014 in Wichita when her foster father left her strapped in the back seat of a car in searing heat for two and a half hours while he was inside the home smoking marijuana. And in November, Topeka City Councilman Jonathan Schumm and his wife were arrested on child abuse charges. The Schumms were living in a small house in east Topeka with 16 children, including four biological children, 10 adopted children and two foster children. Rep. Jim Ward, DWichita, one of the lawmakers who asked for the audit, and Rep. Jarrod Ousley, D-Merriam, both issued statements calling for DCF Secretary Gilmore to resign. “It’s clear there are grave problems at DCF negatively impacting the safety of our state’s most vulnerable children,” Ward said. “I’m not comfortable gambling the future of our children in unsafe home environments. Now is the time to step up and get serious about improving a broken system that is failing Kansas kids. The first step toward that is getting new leadership at DCF.” But Gilmore flatly rejected the suggestion that children in state custody are not safe. “Twenty years ago, there was this myth that children in state custody were maltreated and unsafe, and that myth is still perpetuated here 20 years later,” said Gilmore, a licensed social worker and former state legisla-

tor. “And I ask you to join with us in putting that myth to end. It is not true, but it still is prevalent.” Gilmore also suggested that reports such as the one released Wednesday, as well as the news media’s coverage of them, were partially to blame for the low morale among social workers and other staff at DCF. “Staff morale is impacted by every negative statement that we read in the media,” she said. “It is a thankless job for which they are working so hard and deserve recognition for their success. Despite these things, Kansas is a leader in keeping children safe.” Ousley said afterward that Gilmore’s comments only made him more convinced that Gilmore should step down. “Kids are too valuable to have this sort of leadership, to have morale blamed on the media instead of leadership,”

he said. Wednesday’s report was the first of a threephase audit of the overall performance and effectiveness of the state’s child welfare system. The second report, expected to be released in September, will examine how well DCF is complying with state and federal regulations concerning children in state custody. The final report, scheduled for release in December, will examine how well privatization of child welfare services has worked since it was implemented in the 1990s. That report is expected to prompt discussions during the 2017 session about whether the state should continue with the privatized system or put DCF back in charge of directly managing child welfare services. — Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

Wife, brother-in-law liking R.E.M. not the end of the world (as you know it) Dear Annie: I can’t stand R.E.M. (the band, not the sleep cycle). I just never understood their appeal. I was born in the early ’80s and went to college in the late ’90s and early 2000s, so a lot of people around me loved the band. One insufferably “alternative” guy I went to school with had a giant R.E.M. tattoo on his back. This hasn’t really been an issue for me as an adult. The lead singer, Michael Stipe, stays out of the public eye, and when my satellite radio station puts on “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” for the billionth time, I simply change the station to one that’s playing a song by Taylor

I’m not sure I could have made that work. The thing is that her brother, who is my age, had a rough time in high school. He was depressed, even to the

Have the campaigns found their melodies? The Democratic National Convention (7 p.m., PBS, CSPAN, Fox News, MSNBC, CNN; 9 p.m., ABC, CBS, NBC) concludes. If all goes according to plan, nominee Hillary Clinton will address delegates, followed by a balloon drop and confetti. But the real question remains: What song will accompany her big moment? Clinton campaigned to Rachel Platten’s 2015 “Fight Song” during the primaries. Will this become the official song for the Clinton-Kaine ticket? According to Pitchfork Media, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Clinton’s choice to be vice president, is a Replacements fan. He has cited the Minnesota-based alt-rock band’s 1984 album “Let It Be” as a personal favorite. But perhaps a would-be vice president shouldn’t even utter the word “replacement.” Campaign songs have been an important part of presidential politics at least since the ditty “Tippecanoe and Tyler Too” was warbled in 1840. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s campaigns were accompanied by “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Frank Sinatra reworked the song “High Hopes” for Kennedy’s 1960 campaign. A fan of “Up With People” and the wholesome sound of young glee clubs, Richard Nixon used the unabashedly “square” song “Nixon Now” to appeal to his “silent majority” in 1972. It worked. In 1988, candidate Michael Dukakis emphasized his immigrant roots with Neil Diamond’s “America.” That didn’t work as well. Last week’s Republican National Convention had its share of musical mishaps. The Trump campaign used four songs — Queen’s “We Are the Champions,” the Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” the Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun” and Free’s “All Right Now” — all without permission, earning stern rebukes from representatives of the artists living and dead. So what song will Hillary choose? Will it look forward or backward? Will we hear it once and forget it? Or will it become part of political and musical history?

Why does this bother me so much? — Losing My Religion Dear Losing: What about finding some compassion? We all have our pet peeves. I’m not the biggest R.E.M. fan, either.

Design trend Lawrence residents need to weigh in on plans for construction projects that could have a significant impact on two major north-south thoroughfares.

lans to fund two major street projects next year are likely to renew some controversy about traffic patterns on Harvard Road where it intersects with Kasold Drive and with Wakarusa Drive. City commissioners are scheduled to discuss both projects at a study session on Aug. 9. Options for the Harvard and Kasold intersection drew hot debate about a year ago, but no decision was made because funding wasn’t available. One option is a “typical” design that adds traffic lights and maintains four traffic lanes on Kasold plus a left-turn lane at the intersection. The other is a “Complete Streets” design that narrows the street to two lanes at the intersection and installs a roundabout. Both designs include bike lanes and a multi-use path. Some residents simply didn’t want a roundabout installed at another major Lawrence intersection, but the greater concern was the narrowing of Kasold, a major north-south thoroughfare, to two lanes. Proponents call it a “road diet” and say it reduces collisions while still allowing steady traffic movement. They sometimes point to fewer collisions on Ninth Street west of Mississippi Street after it was reduced from four lanes to two. People who travel that stretch of Ninth Street during peak traffic times will confirm that it slows traffic down, sometimes causing long backups on the street. Those backups probably also are causing many drivers to simply avoid Ninth Street, which also would affect collision numbers. Impeding traffic by reducing the number of lanes may reduce accidents, but that trade-off may not be acceptable on a busy route like Kasold. The other project, which will rebuild Wakarusa Drive from Inverness Drive to Harvard Road likely will include another four-lane roundabout at Harvard. At last report, traffic counts indicated there wasn’t enough traffic at that intersection to justify a roundabout, but designers were saying the city should go ahead with the structure now, when the street is being rebuilt. Now that motorists have had some experience with a two-lane roundabout at Wakarusa and Inverness, they will be able to offer more informed feedback to city commissioners. The Inverness roundabout can be confusing, especially for drivers who aren’t familiar with it, so it will be interesting to see whether local drivers have adapted to it well enough to support a similar roundabout just a few blocks to the north. These two construction projects involve relatively short stretches but they are on major north-south streets in Lawrence. The design decisions made on these two projects also may help establish a trend for future street design in the city. It’s important that residents make their opinions and wishes on these two projects known to city officials before the designs are approved. LAWRENCE

Attitudes another form of assault We’re not going to spend a lot of time talking about what happened. Not that Austin Police Officer Bryan Richter’s June 2015 takedown — let’s not dignify it by calling it an “arrest” — of 26-year-old school teacher Breaion King is not worthy of discussion. As seen in a dashcam video unearthed last week by the Austin AmericanStatesman, Richter, who is white, hauls King, who is African American, out of her car, twice slams her to the ground, shackles her hands behind her back and forces her down to the hood of his patrol car, her arms held high to maximize pain and compliance. King’s sin? During a traffic stop, she gave Richter a little lip. “Could you please hurry up?” she snips. And he proceeds to lose his mind. So what happened is certainly worth talking about. But it is what was said afterward that is ultimately more insidious. King, shackled in the back of a police cruiser, is convinced her mistreatment is related to the color of her skin. She asks another white officer, Patrick Spradlin, if he believes racism still exists. Spradlin answers affirmatively. “But let me ask you this,” he says. “Do you be-

Unfortunately, the new American ethos, as illustrated vividly last week at the GOP Convention, holds that the truth you ‘feel’ is more authoritative than the truth that is actually, well ... true.” lieve it goes both ways?” She says yes, but starts explaining about how whites have more power. Spradlin isn’t buying it. “Why are so many people afraid of black people?” he asks. “...Violent tendencies. ... That’s why a lot of the white people are afraid and I don’t blame them.” Spradlin is speaking, mind you, to a slightly built woman his beefy colleague just violently assaulted for no reason other than pique. More to the point, he is speaking to a woman whose

heritage includes 400 years of kidnapping, lynching, bombing, burning, rape, riot and, yes, police brutality, at the hands of people who look like him. But it is “black people” — note that no other qualifier is necessary — who, he says, have these supposed “violent tendencies.” And let us not ignore Spradlin’s talk of how racism “goes both ways.” Here’s what King was trying to explain when he cut her off: The black person who doesn’t like white people can call names, maybe even physically assault some individual. But she has virtually no power to express that bigotry with impunity upon multiple victims through public institutions. If she is a cop she cannot, for example, physically assault white motorists for no reason and expect to get away with it. By contrast, do you know how Bryan Richter was “punished” for his brutality? He had to go for counseling. Oh, and extra training. Spradlin is not alone in embracing false equivalence, though. A 2011 study by Professors Michael Norton of Harvard and Samuel Sommers of Tufts University finds that many white Americans now identify bias against them as a bigger

problem than bias against blacks. They can point to no statistic to support this absurd idea — there is none. Unfortunately, the new American ethos, as illustrated vividly last week at the GOP convention, holds that the truth you “feel” is more authoritative than the truth that is actually, well ... true. Since the video of Richter’s brutality came to light, the police chief and various city officials have pronounced themselves appalled and there is talk of reform. That’s all well and good, but this is bigger than police. Police reflect the society they serve. So, though most of them would know better than to say it out loud, Spradlin’s thinking recurs in landlords who won’t rent, bankers who won’t lend, doctors who won’t treat, executives who won’t hire. It recurs in an ongoing daily act of battery upon African-American aspiration. And hope. And faith. Bryan Richter assaulted Breaion King. Of that, there can be no doubt. By contrast, Spradlin only talked to her, their conversation calm and composed. But make no mistake. He assaulted her, too. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

4-H fan To the editor I was pleased to see photos of the 4-H members in the paper recently. 4-H is an excellent organization for boys and girls who live in the city or the country. We did not live on a farm with livestock, but our son found many projects that we all enjoyed: rocketry, dog training, arts and crafts, foods, handheld pets, photography, leadership and citizenship. He participated in 4-H theater productions, music competitions and the county and state fairs. Our son was a very shy 7-year-old when he started 4-H. The 12 years he was enrolled in the Four-Leaf Clover 4-H club helped him to develop confidence, the ability to work with people of all ages, life skills, a strong sense of community service and an interest in film that led to his adult career. I would encourage any parent to look into the many projects offered through 4-H and spend some time at the fair visiting with 4-H families. Jane Getto, Lawrence

Big loss To the editor: What a tremendous loss for the decision makers! Mike Yoder and Richard Gwin have been the “opening line,” the “heartbeat”

of the Lawrence JournalWorld through their photos over the years. For the Lawrence community, the amazing skill of these photojournalists has been to our eyes what music is to the soul! Mike and Richard’s ability to capture this community in photos has been, for many, the first item viewed on the front page,and often the only thing on the front page to elicit a smile! They have been magical in somehow maintaining the nostalgia of Lawrence, as well as the vibe of Lawrence as it changes through the years. The world moves on but... WOW! It is a sad day, indeed, in the loss of more of the oldschool goodness of Lawrence, Kansas. Becky Mondi, Lawrence

Strong slate To the editor: I would like to point out a bright spot in this year’s electoral season. No, no, I’m serious. Take a look at the candidates for Douglas County commissioner. My impression is that all four have very impressive credentials. Why do good people offer to serve in this position that clearly offers much more work than reimbursement? I think one reason is that they realize that the County Commission is critically important to the well

being of Douglas County residents. I think this also reflects on the effectiveness, dedication and hard work of the present commissioners; they are impressive role models. We should give a good round of applause to both candidates and commissioners. Joe Douglas, Lawrence

Good stories To the editor: We want to send a huge thank you to Michael at the Lawrence Public Library for all the amazing toddler story times he spent reading, singing and laughing with Lena and her friends. He was always so fun for everyone to watch, and his energy and humor will be missed so much. Good luck in Pagosa Springs! Come back and visit soon!! Mary Douglas, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 28, 1916: years “Fire destroyed ago the factory and its IN 1916 contents belonging to the Kaw Valley Canning Company on east Tenth street early this morning. The one-story wing on the west was saved, but the main three story structure with its contents of machinery and canned goods was completely destroyed. The fire was one of the largest that has occurred in Lawrence for some time and resulted in a total loss of between $60,000 and $75,000. Insurance amounting to $51,000 was carried on the building and its contents. The item on which the heaviest loss occurred is the stock, for it is estimated that 20,000 cases of canned goods valued at $2 a case were stored in the basement, awaiting shipment.... The cause of the fire is unknown. The blaze started in the southeast corner of the building, where the boiler and engine rooms are located. No one was near the building at the time, and the fire was discovered in a very peculiar manner. Some one saw the blaze at the factory and called Will Pendleton at his home in west Lawrence. Pendleton then called the fire department and notified his employes. The department responded quickly, but was unable to be of much service because of the weak water pressure.... The intense heat in the basement caused the sealed cans to explode, throwing them high in the air and causing a dull bombardment which made the spectators think of the war zone in Europe.... According to the reports this morning the factory will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The factory has been running full blast all spring and has been shipping out large quantities of canned goods, but it happened that at the time the basement was full of stock awaiting shipment. The stock in the basement was limited almost entirely to canned peas.” “Workmen repaired the small cave-in at the south end of the interurban bridge yesterday afternoon and put the track into good condition for the starting of car service to the south side.... The interurban officials do not know how soon car service to the south side will start. They have everything ready at both ends of the line and a message from the public utilities commission in Topeka will start the service.

Trump hopes Russia can find emails Candidate sneers at Obama as ‘ignorant,’ warns Clinton would be worse

PHILADELPHIA Count President Obama as one of Hillary Clinton’s most potent assets — and as one of her biggest challenges. Obama-as-asset was in the spotlight at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night. The president was guaranteed to bring just about everyone in the hall to their feet with a speech designed to boost her with the electoral coalition that twice elected him to the White House. Her past rival and former boss, he planned to deliver what amounted to an enthusiastic recommendation for her job promotion. “You know, nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office,” Obama was to say, according to excerpts released before he spoke. “But Hillary’s been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions. ... Even in the middle of crisis, she listens to people, and keeps her cool, and treats everybody with respect. And no matter how daunting the odds, no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never,

ever quits. “That’s the Hillary I know. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to admire. And that’s why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president.” But Obama-as-challenge was equally clear at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last week, when Donald Trump pledged dramatic change to the majority of voters in both parties who are dissatisfied by the nation’s direction. He is tying her to every stumble and setback in the Obama administration, from the ambush of police in Dallas to the rise of the Islamic State.

Obama’s approval rating in recent months has risen above 50%, which could be good news for Hillary Clinton.

SCRANTON, PA . Seeking to counter the impact of the Democratic convention Wednesday, Donald Trump all but invited Russia to hack Hillary Clinton and said he would “love to see” private emails from the former secretary of State, his election opponent. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said at a news conference in Miami. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”

Trump mocked the Democrats for claiming Russia hacked their party in an effort to aid his candidacy — and said he knows nothing about it. He assailed President Obama as “ignorant” and contended a Clinton administration would be worse. Clinton campaign senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan said this is probably the first time a major presidential candidate has encouraged “a foreign power to conduct espionage against his

political opponent.” “That’s not hyperbole, those are just the facts,” Sullivan said in a statement. “This has gone from being a matter of curiosity and a matter of politics to being a national security issue.” Donna Brazile, who is set to take over as interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after the party concludes its convention, blasted Trump’s

General loses post in latest military misconduct case String of scandals shakes Pentagon Tom Vanden Brook @tvandenbrook USA TODAY

Military officials have relieved a senior officer from a key post in Europe after determining he had misused government resources while having an extramarital affair, the Army has confirmed to USA TODAY. Army Maj. Gen. David Haight is at least the second senior Army officer in a high-profile position WASHINGTON

to be relieved of duty for personal misconduct in the last year. In November, Defense Secretary Ash Carter abruptly fired his senior military adviser, Lt. Gen. Ron Lewis, because of an inappropriate relationship. Haight’s reassignment is the latest instance of alleged misconduct by senior officers to rattle the Pentagon in recent years. Other cases include a drunken binge in Moscow by an Air Force two-star general in 2013 and an ongoing bribery scandal involving Navy officers and a corrupt businessman in the Pacific. Defense secretaries have commissioned studies into how to

stem the problem. Haight had overseen operations for U.S. European Command, which is charged with

confronting a resurgent Russia through the NATO alliance. Haight was removed from his post this summer without an announcement and reassigned to Army headquarters at the Pentagon. He is listed as a special assistant to the director of the Army staff. Typically, the military reassigns senior officers suspected of misconduct to such positions as investigations unfold. Military law prohibits extramarital affairs. Haight has been issued a letter of reprimand, a move that effectively ends his career. “Maj. Gen. Haight was reprimanded for failing to exhibit exemplary conduct by engaging in

an inappropriate sexual relationship with a woman who was not his wife and for misusing government resources,” said Col. Pat Seiber, an Army spokesman. The Army may convene a board to determine the rank at which he last served satisfactorily, Seiber said. Retiring at a lower rank could cost him tens of thousands of dollars in pension pay. “I’m very sorry — and take full responsibility — for my actions,” Haight said in a statement to USA TODAY. “I will cooperate fully with Army leadership as the process moves forward.” Haight is married and has four adult children.

A bird’s-eye view of climate change Terry Byrne @terryism USA TODAY

On a remote, craggy cliff 18 miles off the coast of Maine, a parent waits. Weepy-eyed and web-footed, the pudgy, painted puffin braces against a capricious wind — and fickle foothold. At last count, hardscrabble Eastern Egg Rock was home to 150 breeding pairs of Atlantic puffins, each vying to incubate a one-per-season puffball in burrows carved beneath boulders. Having clawed back from the brink — in 1901, only one puffin pair remained in Maine — climate change is now poised to do its own number on these charismatic birds. As last month’s scientific audit, “The State of North America’s Birds” warns, 49% of the continent’s seabirds are caught up in the crisis. Thursday night, Gene Karpinski, head of the League of Conservation Voters, will speak to climate change at the Democratic National Convention. The issue has put politicians at odds, galvanized voters and saddled scientists with a burden of proof. Birds are used to being in human’s sights. Not too long ago, our American bald eagle was in danger of vanishing in a puff. Patriotic symbolism couldn’t shield it from human activity: hunting, habitat squandering, pesticide use. It took the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to restore that bird to its perch of power. Also in 1973, a young ornithologist — a diminutive Don Quixote named Stephen Kress — got into the recovery act. “It was love at first sight,”

comments as “so far over the line” and “outrageous.” As for the Democratic gathering in Philadelphia, the Republican nominee protested a lack of mentions about Islamic State terrorists, little talk about police officers getting killed and a paucity of American flags. He criticized Clinton for a lack of loyalty to ousted party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and claimed the Democrats offered no new ideas to lead the country.

Conservation scientist Stephen Kress has spent four decades restoring Atlantic puffin colonies to several islands off Maine. Kress, 70, says of first viewing puffins as a teen near the U.S.Canadian border. He learned they once flourished in Maine, the southernmost limit of their range, but by 1885 the effects of agri-fishers raiding the henhouse, daily plucking eggs from rocky crevices and laying nets on ledges to snare meaty adults, had taken a grievous toll. Not abiding by fate, Kress ne-

gotiated with the Canadians for six puffin chicks to try re-colonizing 7-acre Eastern Egg Rock. Backed by the National Audubon Society and Barbara’s, maker of Puffins cereal, he worked through the decades-long “jigsaw puzzle” of Project Puffin. Their team hand-reared “pufflings” with vitamin-fortified fish in man-made burrows and stationed interns from May to Au-

gust to keep predators, like eagles, at bay. Fledged puffins set out on two- to three-year sea cruises while scientists set up sound recordings, decoys and mirrors to lure them home. And waited. Eight years later, the first prodigal puffin pair returned to roost. Things were looking pretty peachy until waters in the Gulf of Maine began rising faster

than 99% of the Earth’s oceans, Kress says, throwing delicate fish populations out of whack. Audubon’s annual Christmas bird count reveals nearly 350 North American birds are “climate-affected,” moving farther north. “For those species that are already farther north, they’ve got nowhere to go,” Kress says. “Their fate, their future, really is in our hands.” Last weekend, I saw it firsthand, setting foot on the puffins’ hallowed breeding grounds, a towering babble of gulls, guillemots and terns situated 17 precarious feet above sea level. An all-female summer squad yanked us ashore. Among their duties: Daily at 0600, one climbs atop the shack, ironically dubbed “The Hilton,” for a bird census. They label active burrows, tag birds and monitor avian diets and growth. By luck, we spy an adult puffin whiz by at high speed, a bowtie of sushi dangling from its slack-jawed rainbow beak, only to disappear underground. Interns fish out the baby for inspection. Puffin chicks’ weights are steadily declining, they sadly report. The changes for these colorful birds come in dribs and drabs. “Ocean conservation is a hard thing for people to understand because it’s happening underwater, and you can’t see most of it,” Kress explains. “But seabirds are above ground, so we can see through their eyes.” Dimpled, tears-of-a-clown eyes. In ill-fitting waistcoats, they wait. For a meal. A mate. Another morning. Ever facing forward, because, to quote Emily Dickinson, “hope is the thing with feathers.” Byrne is fledgling birder and a multiplatform editor at USA TODAY.

NEWS ANALYSIS

Former boss Obama is good job reference JOHN MOORE, GETTY IMAGES

Donald Trump “There’s no change,” Trump said. “It’s going to be the same, it’s going to be an extension of Obama.” Trump bashed Obama on the day he was set to address the Democratic convention as “the most ignorant president in our history,” and “I believe that Hillary Clinton will be even worse.” The candidate making his first run for public office assailed Clinton running mate Tim Kaine, mistakenly (and repeatedly) describing him as being from New Jersey. Kaine is a senator and former governor of Virginia. (There is a former New Jersey governor named Tom Kean.) Trump mocked Democratic claims that a hack of DNC emails — the incident that led to Wasserman Schultz’s removal — was somehow connected to the Republican campaign. “It’s just a total deflection, this whole thing with Russia,” Trump said. He said whoever did the hack probably has emails that Clinton “lost” or deleted from the private account she maintained while at the State Department, the subject of a recent FBI investigation. At his Miami news conference, Trump said he doesn’t do business with Russia or with leader Vladimir Putin, despite the latter’s praise for the Republican candidate. “I have nothing to do with Russia,” Trump said repeatedly. Later in the day, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the Republican candidate was not inviting Russia or anybody else to do anything, only pointing out that Clinton’s private email system was vulnerable to hacking. Clinton deleted emails on her home server, and “it’s hurting her campaign,” Miller said on Twitter, accusing the Democrats of trying to change the subject. Trump did not mention any hopes for an anti-Clinton hacking during an afternoon rally in Scranton, Pa., but did defend his compliments toward Putin. “Wouldn’t it be a great thing if we could actually get along with Russia?” he asked a cheering crowd.

“The problems we face now — poverty and violence at home, war and destruction abroad — will last only as long as we continue relying on the same politicians who created them,” Trump declared in his acceptance speech. “A change in leadership is required to change these outcomes.” At a news conference in Florida on Wednesday, Trump’s tone was less somber, but his message was the same, mocking the assertion that Clinton could be a “change-maker.” That’s the word Bill Clinton repeatedly used in his speech to the Democratic convention Tuesday night, when signs declaring “change-maker” were distributed throughout the Wells Fargo Center. “In terms of change, she’s been there 30 years!” Trump said. “She’s been there 30 years!” That is one of Trump’s most powerful themes. In a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll this month, 56% of those surveyed said they wanted the next president to bring major changes in the way the government operates — that fits with Trump’s vow — while just 41% wanted someone with a steady approach. That would be Hillary Clinton. Independent voters, those who typically determine election outcomes, preferred change by double digits. In an electorate demanding a new direction, Clinton’s alliance with the outgoing president reinforces the perception her groundbreaking gender aside, that she is a candidate of the status quo. “You have to be for continuity and change at the same time,” says Bill Galston, a veteran of Democratic presidential campaigns and a White House aide to Bill Clinton. “That’s not an easy assignment, but it is the inescapable assignment.” Some of the strains have been apparent this week in the debate over the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the 12-nation trade deal that Obama negotiated and considers a significant part of his legacy. While she was his secretary of State, Clinton called it “the gold standard” of trade deals. But in the face of fierce opposition by primary rival Bernie Sanders and

As political in-laws, Hillary Clinton’s alliance with the outgoing president reinforces the perception she represents status quo. other progressives, Clinton has come out against it. There’s a reason the relationship between second-term presidents and his party’s nominee to succeed him — call them political in-laws — are fraught. In 1960, it was President Eisenhower who seemed reluctant to do much for Richard Nixon. Two months before the election, when asked at a news conference to cite a major idea of Nixon’s he had adopted, Eisenhower famously joked, “If you give me a week, I might think of one.” In 2000, it was Democratic nominee Al Gore who kept his distance from the scandalscarred President Clinton. And in 2008, Republican nominee John McCain shied from a close embrace by President George W. Bush, whose approval ratings tanked to 22% in the weeks before the election. In those three elections, Nixon lost. So did Gore and McCain. The instinct for change after eight years of White House control is one reason it’s so difficult for a party to hold the White House for a third consecutive term. In the past six decades, that’s happened only once, in 1988, when then-vice president George H.W. Bush was elected to succeed the popular President Reagan during a prosperous time. This time, Obama’s approval rating in recent months has risen above 50%, the highest level for him in nearly three years and a

crucial dividing line. Political scientist Alan Abramowitz of Emory University studied the relationship between an outgoing president’s approval rating and his party’s prospects in the next election. Since World War II, the three candidates who sought to succeed presidents with approval ratings below 50% were defeated. Two of three candidates who sought to succeed presidents who had approval ratings above 50% won the popular vote. That is crucial for Clinton, who of course wants to win. It’s also crucial for Obama, who wants Clinton to win, in part, to ensure that Republicans would be stymied in their promises to undermine the Affordable Care Act, revise financial regulations and reverse executive action on immigration — that is, to dismantle Obama’s legacy. “Politically, having a Democrat succeed the president is critical, I think, to staying on the path that he has set forth,” John Podesta, a former White House counselor for Obama who is now chairman of Clinton’s campaign, told reporters at a breakfast hosted by Bloomberg Politics. “It consolidates the gain that he’s made.” “She will be helped by a president who is looked at very positively,” says Democratic strategist Stan Greenberg. “But she will have to work hard to make sure her call for change can get heard, when Trump’s message is so straightforward and crude.”

Dem speakers tear into Trump Speeches portray tycoon as reckless and Clinton as stable and qualified

“Set aside the nuclear codes. What I think is scary is a president who doesn’t know their stuff.” President Obama

John Bacon and Richard Wolf USA TODAY

PHILADELPHIA Democrats stepped up their attacks on Donald Trump Wednesday as they prepared to nominate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine for vice president and hear President Obama call Hillary Clinton the most qualified presidential candidate in history. A star-studded lineup of speakers included Vice President Biden and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, but it was Trump who increasingly dominated attention at the Democratic National Convention because of his latest controversial comments urging Russia to unearth Clinton’s missing emails. Biden said Trump is less prepared to be president than any other major-party candidate in history. “He has no clue about what makes America great,” the vice president said. “Actually he has no clue, period.” The delegates erupted into a chant, “Not a clue!” “We cannot elect a man who belittles our closest allies while embracing dictators like Vladimir Putin,” Biden said. “It is inconceivable to me that any presidential candidate would be that irresponsible,” former Defense secretary Leon Panetta said. “In an unstable world, we cannot afford unstable leadership.” In an interview earlier

ROBERT DEUTSCH, USA TODAY

Wednesday with NBC News, Obama expressed concern about Trump becoming president because there are a lot of things “that he doesn’t know and hasn’t seemed to spend a lot of time trying to find out.” He was asked about Trump having access to the nuclear codes. “Set aside the nuclear codes. What I think is scary is a president who doesn’t know their stuff and doesn’t seem to have interest in learning what they don’t know,” Obama said, “basic knowledge about the world or what a nuclear triad is or where various countries are or the difference between Sunni and Shia in the Muslim world.” In Doral, Fla., Trump said Clinton would approve bad trade deals and allow possibly dangerous immigrants from the Middle East to flood the country. Trump also made stops in

Pennsylvania and headed for Ohio, energized by a Los Angeles Times poll that showed him leading Clinton, 47%-40%. Donna Brazile, who took over as interim Democratic Party chairwoman after Debbie Wasserman Schultz stepped down over allegations that her staff favored Clinton over Bernie Sanders, told USA TODAY she was not concerned by polling numbers. “Come Labor Day, you’ll see Hillary Clinton pulling away again,” Brazile said. There was an air of confidence in the arena Wednesday as speakers and videos portrayed Clinton as a sound leader and Trump as erratic. “This very morning, he personally invited Russia to hack us,” retired Navy admiral John Hutson said. “That’s not law and order. That’s criminal intent.” Former Maryland governor

Martin O’Malley, who failed in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, said, “It’s time to put a bully racist in his place, and a tough woman in hers, the White House.” Most speakers addressed domestic policy issues. That included a lengthy diatribe against the gun lobby, led by survivors of gun attacks in Orlando, Charleston, S.C., and Newtown, Conn. Delegates stood and applauded many of them, especially former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, still recovering from being shot in the head in Tucson more than five years ago. “Speaking is difficult for me, but come January, I want to say these two words: ‘Madame President,’ ” Giffords said.

Vice President Biden says Donald Trump has no clue about what makes this country great.

KAINE LOOKS TO WIN OVER SKEPTICS Vice presidential nominee hopes to draw in moderates Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Sen. Tim Kaine gets to introduce himself Wednesday night to American voters and will try to demonstrate his ability to play the traditional vice presidential role of attack dog against Republican nominee Donald Trump. Kaine, a mild-mannered former Virginia governor who joined the Democratic ticket with the former secretary of State over the weekend, is a popular figure in Congress, but also relatively lowkey. For many Americans, it will be the first time they’ve laid eyes on him. When it comes to executive experience and foreign policy credentials, he is considered a solid choice. “I think I’m ready to lead,” Kaine said in a 60 Minutes interview that aired Sunday. “I’m ready first to be a supportive vice president so that the presidency of Hillary Clinton is a fantastic one.” His Spanish language fluency is also an asset and one he’s likely to show off before the audience. Yet there are also those who’ve been skeptical of his ability to do combat with the outspoken real estate billionaire, who relishes publicly sparring with his opponents, as well as the Republican vice presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. The assumption is that, because Clinton wants to avoid responding to personal attacks from Trump, that responsibility will fall to her number two. In the ticket’s debut on Saturday in Miami, Kaine previewed the frame he’ll use to define Trump, saying he would amount to a “you’re fired,” “me-first” and “trash talker” president. Kaine’s second objective is to reach out to the progressive wing of the party that was rooting for a more liberal pick for vice president, such as Sen. Elizabeth WarPHILADELPHIA

Obama: Clinton best prepared for office Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

No candidate in history — man or woman — has been better prepared for the White House than Hillary Clinton, President Obama was expected to tell delegates to the Democratic National Convention Wednesday. “You know, nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office. Until you’ve sat at that desk, you don’t know what it’s like to manage a global crisis or send young people to war,” Obama planned to say, according to speech excerpts released by the White House. “But Hillary’s been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions. “And no matter how daunting the odds; no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits,” the advance text said. Vice President Biden made the same case earlier in the evening, walking on stage to the cheers of the crowd and the famous bars of the Rocky theme playing over the loudspeakers. Biden said Clinton’s life story is one of serving others, while Trump’s claim to care about the middle class is “a bunch of malarky!” The crowd erupted. Obama’s prime-time speech in PHILADELPHIA

MARK WILSON, GETTY IMAGES

Philadelphia bookends a 12-year career in national politics as he attempts to pass the baton to his onetime rival-turned-secretary of State. Twelve years ago to the day, a then-unknown state senator from Illinois took to the convention stage in Boston to declare a “politics of hope,” laying the groundwork for his own 2008 election to the White House. President Obama’s carried that hopeful tone into his fourth speech at the Democratic National Convention podium. “The America I know is full of courage, and optimism, and ingenuity. The America I know is decent and generous,” Obama’s text read. “As I’ve traveled this country, through all 50 states; as I’ve rejoiced with you and mourned with you, what I’ve also seen, more than anything, is what is right with America. I see people working hard and starting businesses; people teaching kids and serving our country. I see a younger generation full of energy and new ideas, unconstrained by what is, and ready to seize what ought to be.” But Obama acknowledges that Americans have “real anxieties” about jobs and security. “There are pockets of America that never recovered from factory closures; men who took pride in hard work and providing for their families who now feel forgotten,” the text read.

DAVID ALBERS, USA TODAY

Sen. Tim Kaine is expected to draw in moderate voters to help push Hillary Clinton to the White House. ren of Massachusetts or Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Clinton, in introducing Kaine, referred to him in a way she usually describes herself, as a “progressive who likes to get things done.” The campaign has highlighted his work as a civil rights attorney and an executive order he issued after the Virginia Tech mass shootings that made it harder for those deemed mentally ill to obtain firearms. Kaine will likely try to reinforce his progressive bona fides during his speech, particularly in light of his recent shift on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement he had strongly supported but that is opposed by many on the left. Kaine now says he can’t support it in his current form, though many Sanders voters remain unconvinced. In addition to his stance on trade, as recently as last month Kaine called for deregulation of banks — this after Clinton spent the majority of her primary battle defending herself against attacks that she is an ally of Wall Street. The address will be a balancing act for Kaine, whom the campaign believes also has the potential to draw in more moderate voters as the presidential race creeps toward November.

PROSECUTORS STAND BY RULING GRAY’S DEATH WAS HOMICIDE

Charges dropped, but officers face review Ryan W. Miller and Greg Toppo USA TODAY

BALTIMORE Prosecutors dropped the remaining charges Wednesday against three Baltimore officers in the death of Freddie Gray but stood by the medical examiner’s ruling that his death was a homicide. Defense attorneys, though, said the state could not supply ample evidence to prove the officers’ guilt. “We do not believe that Freddie Gray killed himself,” State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby said at a news conference in Gray’s neighborhood in West Baltimore. Ivan Bates, attorney for Officer Alicia White, said the state failed to call for a full independent investigation aside from the Baltimore City Police Department’s own investigation, which ruled Gray’s death an accident. Gray, 25, suffered a severe spinal injury, apparently while en route to the police station, after he was shackled and loaded into a police van but not secured with a seatbelt in April 2015. His death a week later while in custody set off a series of sometimes violent protests that rocked the city and prompted Black Lives Matter demonstrations across the nation. “The state’s attorney simply could not accept the evidence that was presented. She had her own agenda,” said Gene Ryan, president of the Baltimore City Fraternal Order of Police. The officers involved in the case now face administrative review.

The decision closes the case without any convictions of the six officers charged. Judge Barry Williams acquitted officers Brian Rice, Edward Nero and Caesar Goodson earlier this year. Officer William Porter had been awaiting retrial after his trial ended in a hung jury. White and officer Garrett Miller never faced a trial. Miller reported from McLean, Va.

Would-be Reagan assassin to be free John Hinckley Jr. has spent decades in psychiatric hospital Doug Stanglin @dstanglin USA TODAY

John Hinckley Jr., who spent more than 35 years in a psychiatric hospital following his attempt to assassinate President Reagan in 1981, will be released into his mother’s care as early as next week under a federal order. In a 103-page court order, U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman of Washington wrote that Hinckley, 61, no longer poses a danger to himself or others. The court said experts found Hinckley’s major depression and psychotic disorder “are in full and sustained remission and have been for more than 20 years” and that he is “clinically ready” to leave the hospital. He could be freed as early as Aug. 5. “I don’t like flipping around the TV, I want to do things,” a court document quoted Hinckley saying, according to the Associated Press. He also has said he wants to “fit in” and be “a good citizen.” If he adheres to guidelines regarding his activities, Hinckley could be fully removed from court control in as soon as a year. Hinckley, who shot President Reagan and three others outside the Washington Hilton hotel on March 30, 1981, was found not guilty by reason of insanity at a 1982 trial and ordered confined for treatment at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington. The release, cast as “convalescent leave,” is subject to strict

Experts say Hinckley’s depression is in remission.

guidelines. Hinckley must live at his mother’s home in Williamsburg, Va., and is restricted to a 50mile radius of the location. He must inform his doctors before going to any private residence. Hinckley also must turn over information about his cellphone and is barred from accessing social media, uploading any content or erasing any browser history from his computer. The court order requires that

Hinckley “shall have no contact whatsoever” with specific individuals, including actress Jodie Foster. In a letter to the actress written on the eve of the assassination attempt, Hinckley emphasized that his act was an attempt to impress her. Foster played a child prostitute in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, which focuses on a disturbed character based in part on the diaries of Arthur Bremer, who tried to kill George Wallace. Hinckley’s obsession included traveling to Yale University, where Foster was a student, in an attempt to meet her. He left her notes, letters and poems, but failed to establish a personal relationship. He initially began stalking President Carter and was arrested for having firearms in his luggage at the Nashville airport where Carter was to make a campaign appearance. After the 1980 election, he shifted to Reagan. The court order also says Hinckley is barred from communicating with members of Reagan’s family, or any member of the family of James Brady, Reagan’s then-press secretary who suffered permanent brain damage during the assassination attempt. Brady died in 2014. The court order further says Hinckley must participate in “structured activities” in Williamsburg, such as volunteer positions or paid employment approved by his doctors. In addition, Hinckley must adhere to strict guidelines regarding the media. “If approached by media, Mr. Hinckley and the members of his family will decline to speak with them, and if the media persists, Mr. Hinckley and the members of his family will withdraw,” the order said.

IN BRIEF ANTIBIOTICS IN THE NOSE COULD TREAT INFECTIONS

It’s not often that something really useful comes out of your nose. Yet German scientists credit bacteria in the humble human schnoz with producing an antibiotic that appears powerful enough to kill dangerous skin infections. The antibiotic is produced by a type of staph bacteria found in about 10% of people’s noses, according to a study published online Wednesday in Nature. Although many people associate bacteria with disease, the human body is home to trillions of beneficial bacteria that help digest our food, synthesize vitamins and fight infections. Like a microscopic Game of Thrones, bacteria constantly battle for dominance against rival germs. Humans often benefit from this germ warfare, as benefi-

But, mysteriously, some parts of the planet’s upper atmosphere are hundreds or even thousands of degrees hotter than they should be. Scientists finally found a possible reason: Wild winds from Jupiter’s famed Giant Red Spot — the biggest storm in the solar system that is in fact larger than the Earth itself — may be fueling the unusual heating of the planet’s atmosphere.

State leads U.S. again in pharmacy robberies Shari Rudavsky

The Indianapolis Star INDIANAPOLIS Despite some targeted measures to protect pharmacies, Indiana isn’t shedding its unwanted designation as the No. 1 state for pharmacy robberies. Consider this statistic: Indiana had more pharmacy robberies from the beginning of 2013 to May of this year than any other state. Indiana logged 367 robberies and California — with a population of about six times larger — came in second place with 310 robberies in the same time period. In 2015, 175 robberies occurred — 132 in Marion County alone — more than the entire state of California for the previous year, said Donna Wall, president of the Indiana Board of Pharmacy. On Tuesday, the members of the Governor’s Task Force on Drug Enforcement, Treatment and Prevention mulled these troubling statistics and more as they heard from Wall and others fighting on the front lines to improve the situation. Randy Hitchens, executive vice president of the Indiana Pharmacists Alliance, said he frequently fields calls from concerned pharmacists. Hitchens has little solace to offer.

The Federal Reserve provided an upbeat view of the labor market and economy Wednesday and said risks to its outlook have waned, leaving the door open to a September hike. As expected, the Fed kept its key interest rate unchanged and gave no clear signal about its upcoming plans. Weak employment reports in July and August almost certainly would stay the Fed’s hand when it meets again in September.

Sales fell 5% to $11.5 billion, from $12.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. Still, Coke beat estimates for earnings, which came to $3.45 billion, up 11%, or 60 cents per share.

monthly active users, up 15% year over year. Some 1.13 billion users logged into Facebook at least once a day in the same period, up 17% year over year. The bottom line: Two-thirds of Facebook users are on the service every day. Profit is growing, too. In the second quarter, Facebook reported net income of $2.06 billion, or 71 cents a share, compared with $719 million or 25 cents a share a year ago. Facebook posted earnings per share, excluding certain expenses, of 97 cents. Wall Street expected Facebook to report earnings per share, excluding certain expenses, of 82 cents, compared with 50 cents a year earlier. “There’s pretty much no sign of weakness anywhere in these

numbers,” eMarketer analyst Debra Aho Williamson said. The earnings performance stands in stark contrast to Twitter, which delivered a big miss on revenue and guidance Tuesday. Facebook reported secondquarter results after the market closed on Wednesday. Shares rose 5% in extended trading.

Not to be outdone, social media giant Facebook crushed both earnings and revenue forecasts after the bell Wednesday, pushing shares of Mark Zuckerberg’s company up more than 6%

Dividends are attractive, but beauty fades Q: Why the fuss over dividends? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Many investors have been wooed by just about any stock with a dividend attached. Dividends have become a financial security blanket for those who want to stay in the market but also want to make sure they get something in return. Dividend-paying stocks have been leading the market all year. The iShares Core High Dividend exchange-traded fund (HDV) has outpaced the market by two times this year just on a price-appreciation basis. Add to that the high dividend ETF’s 3.3% yield, which tops the S&P 500’s roughly 2% yield, and it’s easy to see investors are angling for income. Highyielding utility stocks have been big winners, too. There are several reasons for the appetite for dividends. For instance, investors worried about the health of the global economy are looking for the relative safety of dividends. These payments are also attractive given that the Federal Reserve’s plans to hike short-term interest rates appears to be delayed. With rate hikes seemingly put off, that makes the yields that much more attractive to current investors. Just remember that this trade won’t last forever.

As iPhones stall, Apple’s ‘services’ division generates $23B Jefferson Graham @jeffersongraham USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Many consumers awake to a daily nag on their iPhone warning them they’re about to run out of online storage. It’s time to open up the wallet and upgrade, Apple tells us. Those that heed the call can pony up for one of several tiered iCloud plans, which start at 99 cents monthly. It turns out, all those pennies — and the Apple marketing machine that keeps the reminders

humming — add up. Even as iPhone, Mac and overall sales fell in the recent quarter, the bright spot was Apple’s “services” division, which is softwarerelated, including iTunes, iCloud, the App Store, Apple Pay and Apple Music. The iPhone is still Apple’s biggest source of revenue, making up $24 billion of the $42.4 billion for the third fiscal 2016 quarter. But quietly, services has nabbed second place, rising 19% to nearly $6 billion in sales, followed by Mac computers at $5.2 billion, the iPad at $4.9 billion and “other” (which includes Apple TV and the

JEFFERSON GRAHAM, USA TODAY

The “services” division represents 14% of Apple’s revenue.

Apple Watch) at $2.2 billion. Services in the latest quarter represented 14% of Apple’s total revenue, up from 10% a year ago.

That’s at a company dominated by one product, the iPhone, which has represented about two-thirds of revenues. Services is such a huge chunk of sales, CEO Tim Cook said he expected the division to “be the size of a Fortune 100 company next year,” in a call with analysts. In the last 12 months, services has generated $23 billion in revenue. For Apple Pay, which allows you to pay for goods at the point of sale via the smartphone, Cook said, “the growth is astronomical, but the base is very small.” In the current Apple universe,

many are starting to ask if smartphones, and one particular model, have peaked. Sales have fallen for two consecutive quarters, and folks aren’t upgrading every two years, like clockwork, as they used to. They’re holding onto their devices longer. But they’re also using them more than ever. Apple on Wednesday said it had sold its one-billionth iPhone. “When people are tied to an Apple ecosystem where everything works together, they are more likely to buy more things that are part of Apple services,” analyst Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies says.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Ex-cop now boxing bigwig Musty smell. A poster of young and beautiful Muhammad Ali standing over flattened Sonny Liston hanging on the wall. Fight cards from decades past and fresher ones promoting future fights decorate the dark, dank warehouse walls. Heavy bags. Speed bags. A revered old man with a towel wrapped around his neck, bags under eyes always on the lookout for the next underprivileged youth with a quick look about him. Every boxing gym across America pretty much adheres to that script. Recently retired Lawrence police detective Mike McAtee remembers his initial voyage into just such a place. “The first time I walked into the gym, it was in the basement of Tomahawk Hills Golf Course in Shawnee,” McAtee recalled. “I fell in love with the sport immediately. It was lifechanging. It was everything what you would envision it smelled like, looked like and felt like, exactly like that.” Too small for football, he kept getting injured. Too short for basketball, he decided to take up his mother’s favorite sport. As a freshman at the University of Kansas, McAtee, 53, weighed all of 106 pounds. He doesn’t carry a badge anymore, but he does carry a lot of weight now when he walks into a boxing gym, even though he only weighs 142 pounds. After 25 years on the Lawrence police force, McAtee accepted a job offer as director of boxing operations for USA Boxing. He retired from the force June 24 and started his new job June 26. One day as a retiree was plenty. He moved to Colorado Springs on the Fourth of July. Even during his time putting together pieces of puzzles that led to solving crimes, McAtee never completely took his feet out of the ring. For one thing, he trained police officers, firefighters, even an FBI agent, to prepare them to fight in “Guns and Hoses” charity boxing events for the benefit of spouses and children of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty.

WIDE RECEIVER LAQUVIONTE GONZALEZ (1) TEARS DOWN THE FIELD for a touchdown during the Spring Game in this photo from April 9 at Memorial Stadium.

Gonzalez huge part of KU offense By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A few exciting play-makers have come through Kansas University’s football program during recent years, even though KU’s rough record during that time might have overshadowed their talent. Tony Pierson was electric, lightning-fast and a threat to score every time he touched the ball. Nick Harwell, though only eligible for one season, had a knack for making plays all over the field. Daymond Patterson and D.J.

ONE TO GO n We’re counting down the 25 most crucial Jayhawks for the upcoming football season. Nos. 3-25 already have been featured in the Journal-World and on KUSports.com. We’ll reveal No. 1 in Friday’s Journal-World.

Beshears played bigger on the field and in the highlights than their frames suggested they would. But if everything we’re hearing is true, it’s possible that all of them will pale in

comparison to finally eligible Texas A&M transfer LaQuvionte Gonzalez, who figures to be both the focal point and one of the leaders of the Kansas offense in 2016. Checking in at No. 2 on our list of the 25 most crucial Jayhawks, Gonzalez, as has been well documented, carries a couple of nicknames that hint at his top skill — Speedy Gonzalez and The Streakin’ Puerto Rican. Those nicknames and that skill have the KU coaching staff dreaming up all kinds of ways for Gonzalez to touch the ball this season.

KU HOOPS RECRUITING NOTEBOOK

Kansas still on Young’s list By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Trae Young, a 6-foot1, 170-pound senior guard from Norman (Okla.) North High who is ranked No. 14 in the recruiting Class of 2017 by Rivals.com, listed Kansas University among his six finalists Wednesday night on Twitter. Others on the list: Kentucky, Washington, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Please see KEEGAN page 3C Young tells Rivals.com he

plans to visit all six schools, likely announcing this winter. Young’s dad, Rayford, was a standout guard at Texas Tech. Trae’s AAU teammate and good buddy, Michael Porter Jr., recently committed to Washington after Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar (Porter’s godfather) hired Porter’s dad as assistant coach. Of KU, Young told Rivals: “To have the chance to play somewhere like Allen Fieldhouse is a great opportunity.

You name it, he’ll probably do it. And that’s not giving anything away to opposing defenses, because, with all of that versatility, no one will ever know exactly how and when KU plans to utilize Gonzalez. From lining him up out wide to putting him in the slot, he’s a threat at several receiver positions. From those same spots, Gonzalez can — and likely will — come in motion and take direct snaps or run reverses. The possibility even exists that Please see GONZALEZ page 3C

SALV-ATION

Coach (Bill) Self uses and develops guards really well and gets them ready for the league.” Of OU, he said: “Coach (Lon) Kruger and I have a great relationship and have continued to build on it these past two years. And I live in Norman, so playing close to home would be Orlin Wagner/AP Photo great.” Of Kentucky, he said: KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ DOUBLES “I love the way coach Cal off Matt Shoemaker during the fifth inning (John Calipari) goes about of the Royals’ 7-5 victory over the Angels on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Chiefs place Charles on PUP list St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs placed running back Jamaal Charles on the physically unable to perform list Wednesday, though coach Andy Reid said it should not be considered a setback in his return from a knee injury. Charles tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season. He had surgery soon afterward and was far enough along in his recovery that he participated in some drills during mandatory minicamp. “He’s on track and he’s played a lot of downs, so he knows what he needs to do to be ready, and I think we’ll be fine there,” Reid said. “The important thing is that we are patient with him in bringing him back. He knows what to do to be ready, and when he’s ready, we’ll bring him back.” This is the second time that Charles has undergone surgery to repair an ACL. He missed most of the 2011 season after hurting his other knee but ran for 1,509 yards the following season. Still, Charles is older now — he turns 30 in December — and has many more hits on his body. The Chiefs can afford to take their time with him, though. They re-signed Charcandrick West and Spencer Ware in the offseason, bringing back the speed-and-power combination that filled in well for Charles when he was hurt while making a cut in a game against the Bears. “We’re just going to take our time,” Reid said. “We’re just going to make sure he’s good.” The Chiefs can take Charles off the PUP list whenever he is medically cleared, but that likely will not happen anytime soon. Veterans do not report for the start of training camp until Friday. Chiefs cornerback Phillip Gaines also tore an ACL early last season, but he already is close to full speed. He is expected to compete for one of the starting jobs opposite Marcus Peters. “I thought he moved around great,” Reid said after the first practice involving rookies, select veterans and quarterbacks. “He took a lot of reps and it looks like he’s put on some weight and some strength. I was happy with what I saw today. He competed.” Gaines said he still has some rust to knock off, but he is “close to 100 percent.” “I’m definitely climbing toward that way,” he said. “It’s the first time playing football since the Green Bay game (on Sept. 28), so just feels good to be able to have the opportunity to play.” Gaines said there is no pain in his surgically repaired knee, just a bit of stiffness from time to time. He praised the work of Dr. James Andrews, who also operated on Charles and repaired linebacker Justin Houston’s torn ACL in February, and said that he trusts his knee to hold up. “I mean, Dr. Andrews is one of the best surgeons in the world, he’s world-renowned,” Gaines said, “and everybody knows him. So if he says my knee’s good, then I have all the confidence in the world.” Wide receiver Mike Williams, who was signed to provide some depth, also made it onto the practice field Wednesday after dealing with a hamstring injury during the offseason program. Williams starred for Tampa Bay before injuries and a suspension derailed his career. “It feels real good. That’s what I’ve been training for to get back out there, so it’s kind of good that I got an early start,” he said. “It feels really good to be back out here again.”

SERGIO GARCIA LISTENS TO A QUESTION DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE prior to a practice round for the PGA Championship on Wednesday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, N.Y.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Time still favors Garcia in quest for first major Springfield, N.J. (ap) — Henrik Stenson took his silver claret jug and headed straight for Switzerland to play in a charity event organized by Sergio Garcia. It turned out to be the perfect occasion to deliver an important message to the host. Stenson was 40 when he won the British Open at Royal Troon. He had paid his dues with a trio of close calls in the majors. It was his time. Garcia has paid even more. It started when he was a 19-year-old trying to chase down Tiger Woods at Medinah. He played in the final group with Woods at Bethpage Black and Royal Liverpool. He twice was beaten in the final holes by Padraig Harrington at Carnoustie and Oakland Hills. “Henrik, when I saw him Monday at my event in Switzerland, he said: ‘You know, I’m 40, you’re 36. You still have probably 16 more before you get there,’” Garcia said Wednesday on the eve of the PGA Championship. “So at the end of the day, if you stay healthy, you still can give yourself a lot of chances here and there. That’s my goal, to keep giving myself chances and hopefully take as many as possible in the coming years.” Stenson’s victory has shifted the focus to Garcia, perhaps more than any other player in the final major of the year, particularly in a season of first-time major champions — Danny Willet at the Masters, Dustin Johnson at the U.S. Open and Stenson. “It just shows that you’ve got to keep on trying,” Stenson said. “It was nice to see Dustin win at the U.S. Open. He’s had some close calls and some heartbreaking calls in the last four years, five years. You’ve

got to keep putting yourself in position. And the more times you do that, that’s what gives you chances for it to happen.” Lee Westwood is another player on the dubious list of “best to have never won a major.” The 43-year-old Englishman had a chance at the U.S. Open, British Open and Masters in successive years and he is among two players — Luke Donald is the other — to reach No. 1 in the world without ever having won a major. Rickie Fowler at No. 7 in the world and Garcia (No. 10) are the only players in the top 10 who have not won a major. Garcia is different, because he has been at a high level for so long. Just not high enough. The Spaniard is no longer as temperamental, at times petulant, as he was earlier in his career when he accomplished so much at early age that he expected so much more. He complained about the breaks Woods got from the weather in the 2002 U.S. Open. His worst moment was in the 2007 British Open at Carnoustie, when he suggested he was playing “more than the field” because he couldn’t catch a break. He has thrown clubs. He has kicked shoes. Now, it almost seems as though Garcia is resigned that his career could end without a major, even though he has such a long road ahead of him. Yes, he is surprised to have not won a major as he approaches two decades playing them. He said it would have bothered him five or 10 years ago, but no longer. “I understand how difficult it is to win every week,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a major. It doesn’t matter where it is. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the U.S.,

in Asia, in Europe, in Africa. It is tough to win. So that’s great for the game of golf, and the only thing I can do is just keep giving myself chances and just wait for it. “Hopefully, it will happen,” he said. “If it doesn’t happen, it’s not going to change my life. I’m not going to go in a cave and stay there until I die.” Golf goes in cycles, and maybe this one favors Garcia. In only three years dating to 1960 have the four Grand Slam events been won by players who previously didn’t have a major, most recently in 2011 and 2003. The last four major champions dating to Jason Day last year at the PGA Championship had never won a major. “I would love to make it five in a row,” Garcia said. Also, all but one of the last 12 winners of the PGA Championship had won earlier in the year. Garcia won the AT&T Byron Nelson. The tiniest smile appeared on Garcia’s face when he was introduced Wednesday as playing in his 18th PGA Championship. Was it really that long ago when he closed his eyes and hit that shot out of the tree in 1999 at Medinah to finish one shot behind Woods? Three first-time major winners this year give him hope, especially Stenson, a close friend. “He’s been giving himself a lot of chances, and he finally waited for that day where everything clicked and everything was happening,” Garcia said. “So I think what that shows me is that never give up. Keep giving myself chances and keep waiting for that day when things really happen my way. “And then hopefully,” he added, “I’ll be able to raise that trophy.”

THE QUOTE “Golf is fun, until you hit somebody in the head.” — NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, on his erratic golf game

TODAY IN SPORTS 1958 — For the sixth time in his career, Mickey Mantle hits home runs from both sides of the plate. New York beats the Kansas City Athletics, 14-7. 1971 — Sixteen-time Gold Glove winner Brooks Robinson commits three errors in the sixth inning against the Oakland A’s. Frank Robinson’s three-run homer in the ninth wins the game for the Orioles. 1984 — The Summer Olympics open in Los Angeles with a record 140 nations competing. The Soviet Union and 13 Communist allies, including Cuba and East Germany, boycott the Games. 1991 — Dennis Martinez pitches a perfect game as the Montreal Expos beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-0. 1994 — On the night baseball players set an Aug. 12 strike date, Kenny Rogers of the Texas Rangers pitches a perfect game for a 4-0 victory over California.

he’ll line up in the backfield and take some direct snaps out of the Wildcat formation and/ or possibly even look to throw while streaking out to the edge after getting the ball. His usage is limitless, and he’s in such good shape — mentally and physically — that it’s easy to expect and predict him to be on the field as often as possible. The key to all this, of course, will be finding the right quarterback to get him the ball and, perhaps more importantly, finding an offensive line that can protect that QB. If those two positions hold up even just reasonably well, Gonzalez should have a terrific opportunity to put up some big-time stats. Opposing defenses clearly will have something to say about it, but I don’t think it’s a stretch to see a scenario in which Quiv — that’s another of his nicknames — touches the ball on average 10-12 times per game this season. He showed in the spring game what he is capable of, turning a seemingly easy and harmless completion into a big play. And he’ll be asked to do a lot more of that when the Jayhawks line up against the 12 teams on their schedule this fall. Some within the program have called him the most dynamic player in a KU uniform since Aqib Talib, and Gonzalez’s ability to impact the game as a kick returner as well puts him in position to have a dual-impact much the way Talib did during his days as a Jayhawk. It’s hard to know exactly where to set the bar of expectations for Gonzalez, but this much is clear: KU’s offense needs him to be as good as advertised in order for the whole thing to click. Because if he is, that puts all of the other wideouts on the roster in a better position to make plays and also takes some of the burden off of the QBs and opens up the running game, too.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Strasburg winning again Braves 9, Twins 7 Minneapolis — Freddie Freeman homered, doubled and tied a career high with five RBIs as Atlanta held off Minnesota for a two-game sweep. Freeman went 4-for4 with a walk. His 18th homer gave the Braves a 7-0 lead in the fourth inning.

The Associated Press

Interleague Nationals 4, Indians 1 Cleveland — Stephen Strasburg shut down Cleveland for seven innings and bounced back from his only loss this season, leading Washington past the Indians on Wednesday. Strasburg (14-1) began the season with 13 straight wins before he was beaten by the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 21. The powerful right-hander shook off that blemish, holding the Indians to only three hits as the Nationals recovered after blowing a two-run lead in the ninth and losing on Tuesday night. Washington rookie Trea Turner drove in three runs and Daniel Murphy hit his 20th homer off Carlos Carrasco (74), who nearly matched Strasburg but was done in by one bad inning. Nationals reliever Blake Treinen stopped Cleveland’s threat in the ninth, getting a gameending double play for his first major-league save. Strasburg walked one and struck out seven.
