Lawrence man fills us in on Cuba’s mystique

he Cuban balcony that Richard Gwin often takes his morning coffee on has an old bullet lodged in its railing. It is left over from the days of the Cuban revolution, so it is only natural that Gwin would ask the elder gentleman of the household what he recalls about those turbulent times. “I asked him what they did the day Fidel came to town,” Gwin recalls. “He

said the first thing they did was tear down the parking meters.” Huh? “I don’t know,” Gwin says. “I thought it was damn strange too. They just really didn’t like the idea of paying for parking.” That’s the thing about Cuba: Most of us Americans don’t understand it. But that’s what we love about it — the mystique — says Gwin, who is a

longtime Journal-World photographer. Thanks to a journalistic visa, Gwin has been to Cuba 16 times since the early 1990s. Soon, it will be easier for more of us to go. The United States and Cuba have announced a “normalization” of diplomatic relations, a stark reversal from the days when the two countries were bitter Cold War enemies. Please see CUBA, page 4A

Former Kansas University chancellor Robert Hemenway, who led KU to new heights in enrollment and research during his 14-year tenure, died Friday night at age 73. Hemenway, KU’s 16th chancellor, died from complications of Parkinson’s disease around 9 p.m. Friday in a Lenexa nursing home, with his large family gathered at his side. In addition to his legacy at KU, the former English professor also leaves behind a wife, Leah, and eight children. Recalling his father Saturday morning, Zach Hemenway said the chancellor had a “passion” for education that spanned a 55-year career in both teaching and administrative work. “He really instilled that in all of us — the value of learning and being curious and challenging yourself,” said Zach, who along with two of his siblings went on to attend KU during his father’s tenure.

City’s per-capita debt, spending levels raising concern Report shows costs per resident at 10-year highs By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The city of Lawrence’s per-capita spending and debt levels reached 10year highs in 2014, a trend that city officials are saying cannot be sustained over the long haul. Those numbers were part of an annual performance audit report that Lawrence city auditor

Humid

Michael Eglinski delivered to the City Commission last week. It examined the city’s current financial position and compared it with each of the previous nine years and with other cities of comparable size and demographics. Eglinski then calculated “benchmarks,” which are the median of all the comparable cities. Overall, he said, the

city’s financial position improved in 2014 from the previous year. “However, indicators for long-term liabilities and interest coverage are below the benchmarks and have worsened,” Eglinski said in the report. “The City added longterm debt in 2014.” The report showed that total city spending in 2014 was just under $1,400 per resident,

and that total debt per resident reached about $1,100. Both of those were 10-year highs, even after adjusting for inflation. Meanwhile, total revenues per resident were slightly more than $1,000, slightly lower than the spending level and below the 10-year high mark set in 2010 when revenues were about $1,500 per resident. Most of the increase in debt in recent years was attributed to the $18 mil-

Suspect from 3-county car chase in custody; deputy not seriously hurt Staff Reports

A man who led multiple area law enforcement agencies on a vehicle chase through three counties Friday evening is in custody, a law enforcement official confirmed. The pursuit began at about 6:30 p.m. Friday after the man allegedly injured a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy with his vehicle, said Lt. Steve Freeman with the sheriff’s office. The deputy, who was outside of his vehicle when the suspect’s car grazed him, was treated and released

Multiple agencies were involved in the pursuit, including the Lawrence Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol, said Capt. Steve Zarnowiec with the Lawrence Police Department. The incident began when an LPD officer located the man, who had an arrest warrant for a parole violation, at the Airport Motel, 1493 U.S. Highway 40. Because that location is beyond the city limit, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office

A 24-year-old transient man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and several other charges after allegedly threatening an employee at a Lawrence business with a broken liquor bottle Saturday afternoon. Chad Andrew Kassen was found asleep in the business, which was open at the time, by the employee and asked to leave, said Sgt. Craig Shanks

of the Lawrence Police Department. Police did not disclose the name of the business so that the victim would not be identified. Kassen reportedly spit on the employee before leaving the store, located in the 1200 block of West Sixth Street, only to return again and break a bottle of liquor and threaten the employee with it, Shanks said. Kassen then fled west,

where he was apprehended shortly thereafter at McDonald’s, 1309 W. Sixth St., Shanks said. Kassen was being held in the Douglas County Jail without bond Saturday evening on suspicion of multiple charges, including aggravated assault, criminal trespass, criminal damage to property and battery, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office booking log.

bonds, financial advisers told the commission that Moody’s Investor Services had rated city bonds backed by utility revenues as Aa2 and its property tax-backed bonds slightly higher, at Aa1. Lawrence also has enjoyed a relatively stable and growing tax base, Eglinski said. Real estate values flattened out during the Great Recession, but they did not plummet as they did in other U.S. cities when the housing bubble of the early 2000s burst. Retail sales tax collections have also risen slowly but steadily since 2010. On Tuesday, city commissioners will hold a public hearing on a proposed budget for 2016 that would continue the trend of increased spending, although officials say it will not require a property tax increase. That budget calls for about $207 million in total spending next year, a

On paper it looks like we put a bunch of money in a pile and set it on fire.” City Commissioner Leslie Soden agreed that the trend is not sustainable. “That is one of the things I’m really concerned about,” she said. “We’re not very liquid. We have a lot of debt. We were higher than the benchmark. And our liquidity (the ability to convert assets into cash) was lower. To me, those were definite red flags that major spending needs to be reined in.” Although the debt figures may be cause for concern, city officials said they are not cause for immediate alarm.

9 percent increase over this year, much of which is due to pay raises for city employees and increased spending on capital improvements such as street and sidewalk repairs. Herbert said he believes most Lawrence residents support those kinds of projects, and he pointed to a recent citizens survey that showed investing in the city’s infrastructure was the public’s top priority. “People just want to make sure their money is being spent wisely,” he said. “People don’t object to money being spent; they object to money being spent frivolously. Ultimately, at the end of the day people don’t object to capital improvement projects.” — Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222. Email him at phancock@ljworld.com.

Jayhawks find a new perch

ADA-friendly rubberized turf considered for playgrounds By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Look for changes at a couple of Lawrence playgrounds. The city is set to spend about $85,000 to put in a rubberized play surface for the playgrounds at the East Lawrence Center and at Watson Park. It may be the first of several such projects that the city’s Parks and Recreation Department undertakes. Changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act in 2012 created new requirements for playground surfaces to make them more accessible to people with disabilities. The new rubberized surface is expected to be a lot easier for people who use wheelchairs,

See Havana for about a week, and then you need some countryside. Venture through the tobacco fields.”

Cuba CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

A ceremony earlier this month raised a Cuban flag over a new Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C. A similar ceremony to raise an American flag at a U.S. embassy in Havana is scheduled for next month.

Lost in time Eventually, lots of Americans will be in the land Gwin has roamed for more than two decades. “The cruise ships want to go there real bad,” Gwin says. That’s a bit different from how Gwin took his first trip to the island nation. He was sitting on a Jamaican beach with an Associated Press photographer. They saw a sign advertising a trip to Cuba for $359. “We were gone,” Gwin says. “It was just the mystique of it. I grew up watching the Cuban missile crisis on a black and white TV. It was a mysterious thing for a week or two, and then it was gone. You always wonder about the things you don’t see an end to.” When they landed at the old Havana airport, there were two Soviet gun ships on the tarmac. “That added to the mystique,” Gwin recalls. But what Gwin came to find out about Cuba is that its most interesting aspect wasn’t all the old Cold War intrigue — you can see the footprints of the Russians everywhere, Gwin says — but rather the country’s ability to take you back to a different time and place. “I tell you, it is like growing up in the 1950s in western Kansas,” Gwin says. “Neighbors care for each other and help each other out. It made me feel comfortable there.” So, Gwin kept going back, and meeting lots of people along the way. Sometimes he would even bring his newfound friends American items. “I would take them JournalWorld pencils, and they would rave about how good the pencils were compared to the Chinese pencils,” Gwin says. Gwin started taking more. Sometimes it was auto parts. Sometimes it was aspirin. Sometimes it was anti-diarrhea medicine. One of his largest deliveries was a batch of electrical switches and fixtures. Gwin knew a man who was building a house in the countryside, and Gwin told him he would help him wire it for electricity. He remembers the night they finished the job. “His wife killed a rabbit, and we had rabbit and yucca and a bottle of rum,” Gwin says. “We turned the lights on and everyone in the countryside came because they couldn’t believe how bright the house was. I told them to thank the Home Depot in Lawrence for the light.” Exploring Cuba Gwin said many Cubans are excited about the prospect of greater ties with Americans. He said most of the young Cuban population already speaks English, and has a great fascination with America. Give them a copy of USA Today, and they’ll devour it, he said. Older Cubans remember the days when Americans were in Cuba in full force. The country was a Caribbean playground, full of casinos and the mob. They want the Americans back, but not quite like that, Gwin says. “The old people don’t want it to go the way it was in the (former President Fulgencio) Batista days,”

Farmers gather tobacco leaves near Vinales. Gwin says. “It was like the Roaring ’20s back then. The old-timers talk about how you could get shot down standing on a corner. I don’t think you will see all the neon and the Roaring ’20s atmosphere. I think it will be more controlled.” But there will be a lot to see in Cuba. Gwin recommends everyone take time to explore Havana. He says Old Havana — or Habana Vieja, as the locals call it — is a must-see with its old architecture and traditions. Be sure to listen for the firing of the cannons each night. It is not a Cold War thing. It goes back to an even older conflict. The Cubans fired the cannon each night to alert folks of the closing of the city’s gates, which was a necessity to keep the pirates out. They keep the tradition alive. There are also museums, several stomping grounds of literary great Ernest Hemingway and a couple of places to quench your thirst. Cuba lays claim to creating both the mojito and the daiquiri. Or have a cup of coffee: ground fresh and guaranteed to give you the jitters. “See Havana for about a week, and then you need some countryside,” Gwin says. “Venture through the tobacco fields.” But be prepared for ventures to be a bit of an adventure at times. Gwin says Cuba’s infrastructure is going to be severely strained by an influx of American tourists. Even the best of roads look odd. Several of them were designed to also serve as runways. “They’ve always had defense on their minds,” Gwin says.

I tell you, it is like growing up in the 1950s in western Kansas. Neighbors care for each other and help each other out. It made me feel comfortable there.”

The city Marks Jewelers. Quality since 1880. 817 Mass. 843-4266 has 35 playgrounds across the community. Hecker said his initial goal is to try to get six or seven playground surfaces replaced in the next few years. He plans to choose playgrounds in different geographic areas of town to increase the odds that everyone will have relatively easy access to at least one of the newly surfaced playgrounds. Cost is an issue, though. The city spends about $3,000 to $4,000 to put wood chips in a playground area, and then probably another $1,000 a year to ensure the playgrounds continue to have enough wood chips in place. Based on these most recent prices, the rubberized surface is costing a little more than $40,000 a playground. Hecker expects the rubberized surfaces to last for 15 years or more. Whether the city will be pressured to become more aggressive to replace the wood chip surfaces with the more ADA-compliant rubberized material is unclear. Thus far, Hecker said the department has been working with local ADA advocates, and they have been understanding that the city will likely have to tackle the issue in phases. As for the material, it is coming from a Kansas City-based company called Eco Turf.

Budget choices When is a cut not a cut?

n Thursday, Gov. Sam Brownback sent his budget director, Shawn Sullivan, to outline to the news media nearly $63 million in spending reductions for the fiscal year that began on Saturday. Although Sullivan acknowledged that “a couple things you could call pure cuts or reductions” but added, “what we tried to do was minimize the impact on services.” Whether the state achieved that goal may be a matter of perspective. The largest single reduction was $17.7 million that will be taken from the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides coverage for children whose families are low-income but earn too much to qualify for Medicaid. The reduction in the state’s contribution to the program will be offset by an increase in federal funds that was intended to enable states to increase SCHIP benefits. So Kansas is taking money that was supposed to expand health insurance for needy children and is using it to help bolster its financial reserves. Sullivan said the increased federal funding would be used to maintain the current level of service in Kansas but acknowledged that if the state wasn’t taking money from the program, “then the other options would be to provide other services, expand eligibility, those sorts of things.” Kansas decided not to pursue that option. The budget-cutting plan also included another $8 million “sweep” from the Department of Transportation. Sullivan said that money remained unspent from KDOT’s budget for last year and would not impact its construction projects. KDOT Secretary Mike King told the Wichita Eagle that some of the savings resulted from a mild winter that required less highway plowing and treatment. He also said he was “proud that we were smart in how we spent money last year and created some savings.” “Smart” spending is good, but it seems likely that motorists around the state could identify a number of projects that could have benefited from that $8 million. A number of smaller reductions and transfers seem to have the greatest impact on vulnerable Kansans: $4 million from a fund created by the Legislature in 2004 to improve and expand health care for low-income residents, $2.8 million from a reading program that (for whatever reason) cost less than expected in 2015, $2 million from the Department of Corrections because of reduced juvenile caseloads and unexpected grant funds, $1 million to help eliminate a waiting list to provide services to Kansans with physical disabilities, $3.9 million from Department of Commerce programs including a disability employment incentive program and $1.9 million from the Kansas Board of Regents incentive grant for GED programs. The budget that legislators approved for this year required the governor to make at least $50 million in arbitrary spending cuts. Whether the plan announced last week meets the Brownback administration’s goal of making cuts that “minimize the impact on services” is up to Kansans to decide. LAWRENCE

Race-based wars are nothing new He wanted to start a race war. That, you will recall, was what authorities say white supremacist Dylann Roof had in mind when he shot up a storied African-American church in June. It might have surprised him to learn that we’ve already had a race war. No, that’s not how one typically thinks of World War II, but it takes only a cursory consideration of that war’s causes and effects to make the case. Germany killed 6 million Jews and rampaged through Poland and the Soviet Union because it considered Jews and Slavs subhuman. The Japanese stormed through China and other Asian outposts in the conviction that they were a superior people and that Americans, as a decadent and mongrel people, could do nothing about it. Meantime, this country was busy imprisoning 120,000 of its citizens of Japanese ancestry in concentration camps and plunging into a war against racial hatred with a Jim Crow military. The American war effort was undermined repeatedly by race riots — whites attacking blacks at a shipyard in Mobile, white servicemen beating up Mexican Americans in Los Angeles, to name

“

The world has seen plenty of race wars — meaning tribalistic violence — before and since 1945. Ask the Armenians, the Tutsis, the Darfurians. Ask the Congolese, the Cambodians, the Herero. Ask the Cherokee.” two examples. So no, it is not a stretch to call that war a race war. It ended on August 15, 1945. V-J — Victory over Japan — Day was when the surrender was announced, the day of blissfully drunken revels from Times Square in New York to Market Street in San Francisco. But for all practical purposes, the war had actually ended nine days before — 70 years ago Thursday — in a noiseless flash of light over the Japa-

nese city of Hiroshima. One person who survived — at least 60,000 people would not — described it as a “sheet of sun.” The destruction of Hiroshima by an atomic bomb — Nagasaki followed three days later — did not just end the war. It also ushered in a new era: the nuclear age. To those of us who were children then, nuclear power was what turned Peter Parker into a human spider or that lizard into Godzilla. It was also what air raid sirens were screaming about when the teacher told you to get down under your desk, hands clasped behind your neck. We called them “drop drills.” No one ever explained to us how putting an inch of laminated particle board between you and a nuclear explosion might save you. None of us ever thought to ask. We simply accepted it, went to school alongside this most terrifying legacy of the great race war and thought nothing of it. The world has seen plenty of race wars — meaning tribalistic violence — before and since 1945. Ask the Armenians, the Tutsis, the Darfurians. Ask the Congolese, the Cambodians, the Herero. Ask the Cherokee. The childish human urge to

divide itself and destroy itself has splashed oceans of blood across the history of the world. The difference 70 years ago was the scope of the thing — and that spectacular ending. For the first time, our species now had the ability to destroy itself. We were still driven by the same childish urge. Only now, we were children playing with matches. This is the fearsome reality that has shadowed my generation down seven decades, from schoolchildren doing drop drills to grandparents watching grandchildren play in the park. And the idea that we might someday forge peace among the warring factions of the planet, find a way to help our kind overcome tribal hatred before it’s too late, has perhaps come to seem idealistic, visionary, naive, a tired ’60s holdover, a song John Lennon once sang that’s nice to listen to but not at all realistic. Maybe it’s all those things. Though 70 years after a flash of soundless light blasted away 60,000 lives, you have to wonder what better options we’ve got. But then, I’m biased. You see, I have grandchildren playing in the park. — Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Weeds inspire maniacal battle According to the bumper sticker, “Hatred is not a family value.” But in this case, hatred is a virtue. Hatred is essential, noble, a sacred obligation. Bountiful rainfall this year produced a banner growth of native grasses: big and little bluestem, indiangrass, switchgrass, sideoats gramma — along with beneficial forbs and legumes such as Illinois bundleflower, showy partridgepea, maxmilian sunflower. Unfortunately, it has also produced an infestation of odious weeds: musk thistle, bindweed and, above all the vile, malicious perennial legume, sericea lespedeza, an enemy worthy of rabid hatred. In a maddening irony, sericea was introduced and promoted for forage and erosion control by the USDA. It is now designated “noxious” and landowners who fail to control it face penalties. Sericea is like kudzu in southern states — invasive, ruthlessly prolific, capable of out-competing other plants. Call it the ISIS of the plant world. At this time of year, my life is devoted to battling sericea. I spend hours seeking it out on my ATV, armed with a sprayer filled with powerful herbicide. I see myself as belonging to a brotherhood of sericea haters. The enormity of our loathing is attested

The Devil is at large. I soldier on. I must sow death before the enemy flowers, for then the enterprise is lost. Of course, as in any war, there are grave moral issues, such as “collateral damage.” To destroy sericea, I must sometimes kill innocent plants nearby. And I’m releasing poison into the environment to save the environment. Who knows? I might be creating a species of monstrous, mutant, man-eating grasshoppers. The spray pump chugs like a burp gun, filling me with a sense of murderous power. Have I gone mad? Some day, no doubt, members of a Friends of Sericea Lespediza association will show up beating tom-toms and chanting “Stop the killing.” I invite them to consider a world with no pansies, no roses, no daffodils, no grass, no vegetables, a world in which only sericea exists, a world in which corsages are made exclusively of the flowers of the noxious fiend.

J. Francisco especially for their strength and durability. Ten in all were ordered from a local hardware firm and placed in the parks of the city. ‘They will hold up to a real full grown pair,’ said the mayor this morning, ‘and I believe that they are a valuable addition to the parks. We have needed something of this kind for some time, and the iron benches will be permanent.’ The benches cost the city nearly seventy dollars.” “A few years ago it was a familiar sight at the Y.M.C.A. to see the business men of the town and other old citizens playing checkers in the parlors, but now the younger generation of boys have taken to the game and every afternoon sees several boys engaging in a game while other boys stand around the tables and tell them how to play and what places to move. However, the Y.M.C.A. would like to have the older men play and it is thought possible that if sufficient enthusiasm is aroused a room would probably be set aside which they can use.” “Wednesday evening will be celebrated the completion of the Country Club house with a reception flanked by a beautiful musical program and a dance. All members of the club and their invited guests will attend. Attention is especially called to the arrangement for having all guests — members of the club and their guests by invitation — met at the end of the Indiana street car line by taxis....

Wichita (ap) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities say a man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to storm the Sedgwick County Courthouse and kill law enforcement officers if a man on trial for murder was found guilty. Police say the suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments, posted to Facebook, were in reference to the trial of Kyler Carriker. The social media exchange was part of a heated discussion about entering courtrooms while armed. In a post to Facebook, the man asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it out of line to storm the courthouse if (Carriker)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found guilty?â&#x20AC;? He added in another post â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we get a decent number of people to charge through the front doors and security, the police there will attack us. Often times, the only way to defend yourself from a cop is to kill the

cop which means using a rifle to penetrate their body armor.â&#x20AC;? Sheriff Jeff Easter said several people reported the comments to law enforcement, resulting in additional security around the courthouse on Thursday. Carriker was found not guilty in the 2013 shooting death of Ronald Betts. Easter said more than one resident called 911 over safety concerns, but the man was â&#x20AC;&#x153;practicing his Second Amendment rightsâ&#x20AC;? in compliance with open-carry laws that took effect on July 1, 2014. He said peaceful protesters have been active outside the courthouse all week, but specific threats to kill law enforcement officers will not be tolerated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a credible threat. We have to address those immediately,â&#x20AC;? Easter said.

MICHAEL BROWN SR.:

‘A PIECE OF ME IS GONE’

Says the shooting victim’s father of recent alleged cop misconduct: “The police have to do a better job of what they are doing.” NICK OZA FOR USA TODAY

he father of Michael Brown still grieves for his son, but finds solace in the change spurred by the teenager’s death as the anniversary of his Aug. 9 shooting nears. Michael Brown Sr. plans to remain visible in an effort to get justice for his son and others killed by police officers, he told USA TODAY on Friday. He’s proud of national and local efforts that followed his son’s death, including the ouster of several Ferguson, Mo., leaders, President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Cen-

tury Policing and increased use of police body cameras around the country. Yet, as Aug. 9 approaches, the father relives those treacherous moments when he first learned his son was dead at 18. “All the emotions, all the thoughts, the scenes, everything are just repeating themselves,” the 37-year-old man said. “A piece of my heart, a piece of my soul, a piece of me is gone that I can never get back.” Police officer Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown Jr. on Aug. 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Mo. The shooting led to massive protests that at times turned violent. On Nov. 24, a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson, a white man. In response, rioters looted and burned down more than a dozen businesses in the St. Louis

Abortion opponents, outraged by a series of hidden-camera videos that depict Planned Parenthood employees discussing fetal tissue donation, have called for Congress to investigate Planned Parenthood and strip the organization of the more than $500 million in federal funding it receives each year. But the controversy over federal funding for Planned Parenthood surfaced long before the videos emerged. The group’s critics in Congress, in an attempt to block any taxpayer money from going to Planned Parenthood, have sought for years to eliminate a federal program that provides family planning, sex education and cancer screenings to low-income women.

“The (House Appropriations) committee’s position is that federal tax dollars should not be used for Planned Parenthood.”

area. However, other peaceful, sustained protests followed under the slogan #BlackLivesMatter, a movement that remains active. Following the Ferguson uproar, a Justice Department review found the Ferguson Police Department engaged in a broad pattern of racially biased enforcement that permeated the city’s justice system, including the use of unreasonable force against African-American suspects. The DOJ investigation criticized Ferguson’s police chief, city manager and a judge, resulting in their resignations. Across the country, police trainings on community engagement and de-escalating tense encounters have increased. Some

In June — even before the release of controversial videos shot by anti-abortion activists — the House of Representatives’ appropriations committee voted to cut all funding for the Title X Family Planning Program, which pays for services such as contraception, cancer screenings and HIV tests for low-income women.

Puerto Rico’s government said Friday it would not make a $58 million bond payment due over the weekend. “We don’t have the money,” the governor’s chief of staff, Victor Suarez, said at a news conference Friday.

Fate of Jericho, brother of Cecil the lion, in dispute Researcher: Tracker shows 2nd lion alive Ryan Carey-Mahoney USA TODAY

The brother of Cecil the lion, whose death sparked widespread outrage this week, was killed by a hunter Saturday afternoon in Zimbabwe, a local conservation group said. However, another organization quickly disputed the report. “I’m very disappointed. I’m heartbroken,” Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force Chairman

Johnny Rodrigues told USA TODAY about the illegal killing of the lion named Jericho. “It’s just too much.” A researcher with the Hwange Lion Research Project, however, told Reuters and the Associated Press that Jericho is not dead based on his GPS tracking device. “He looks alive and well to me as far as I can tell,” said Brent Stapelkamp, a field researcher with the project, which had been monitoring the lion. The conflicting reports come after Cecil was lured out of Hwange National Park and shot with a bow and arrow before being tracked and killed early last

Cincinnati shooting generates debate on armed campus cops More schools equip officers with guns since Va. Tech attack Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

For years, an increasing number of university police departments have been arming their officers to deal with threats posed by active shooters and the fear of encroaching criminal activity, according to law enforcement officials and Justice Department records. By 2012, 75% of university police departments were arming their officers, up from 68% in 2005, according to the latest Justice survey of campus agencies. The numbers continue to grow, campus law enforcement officials say, even as a deadly shooting at the University of Cincinnati has raised questions about the experience and training of officers who patrol those campuses. William Taylor, president of the International Association of

Black Lives Matter supporters march at a Cincinnati rally after a university police officer was charged with murder. Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, said his phone hasn’t stopped ringing since body camera video was made public last week showing University of Cincinnati officer Raymond Tensing’s deadly July 19 encounter with Samuel DuBose during a traffic stop. “I don’t think what happened

is representative of campus law enforcement,” said Taylor, who also serves as chief of the San Jacinto College Police Department in Texas. “Certainly, it should not taint the professionals who work on our campuses.” University police officers, Taylor and other campus police officials say, are required to meet the

same basic standards, often promulgated by state authorities, who certify municipal and other law enforcement officers. Those standards include required training in the use and application of deadly force, an aspect of public safety that universities have been increasingly embracing. Tom Saccenti, chief of police at Furman University in South Carolina, said nothing accelerated the movement toward arming campus officers more than the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that left 32 victims dead and 17 wounded, the worst campus shooting in U.S. history. That was followed soon by a rampage at Northern Illinois University that resulted in five deaths and wounded 21. “Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois changed the face of campus policing,” Saccenti said. There are exceptions, though. One of them, Princeton University, has maintained a policy of not arming its officers. Princeton officials declined to comment for this article.

Sharp drop in funds for women’s clinics v CONTINUED FROM 1B

the program since 2011, according to the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association. Planned Parenthood centers make up 13% of the 4,168 health centers funded by Title X, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which researches reproductive health. “The committee’s position is that federal tax dollars should not be used for Planned Parenthood,” said Jennifer Hing, committee spokeswoman. While Title X money is not used to pay for abortions and many of the clinics that receive such funds don’t provide abortion, some opponents of abortion oppose the notion of funding any clinics even if federal money goes for other services, such as treating sexually transmitted infections, said Susan Fogel, director of reproductive health at the National Health Law Program. The fear is that funding these clinics in any way ultimately frees up money for abortion, she said. The full House of Representatives has not yet voted on the appropriations bill, which would also need to be approved by the Senate. Even if Congress doesn’t vote to eliminate Title X funding, its budget has already been sharply cut. Since 2010, Congress has cut $31 million from Title X, about 10% of the program’s budget. Title X-funded clinics served 667,000 fewer people in 2013 than in 2010, according to the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association. In the same time period, North

Dakota lost 33% of its family planning centers; Louisiana lost 21%; New Hampshire lost 24%; and Maryland lost 26%, the association said. Cuts to family planning have also come at the state level. In 2010, New Jersey eliminated all state funding, $7.5 million a year, for family planning. Six of the state’s 57 family planning centers closed, while others trimmed their hours. In 2011, Texas cut its budget for family planning centers by two-thirds, the national family planning association said. Since then, 82 health centers have closed. Some of the Texas centers were run by Planned Parenthood — which was barred from receiving state money — but others were not. None provided abortions, said Amanda Stevenson, a researcher with the Texas Policy Evaluation Project, a group of researchers who are studying the impact of reproductive health measures passed by the Legislature. “The 2011 cuts were devastating to the women’s health safety net,” said Aimee Arrambide, a policy associate at the Texas Women’s Healthcare Coalition. The remaining health centers that serve low-income people haven’t been able been able to absorb the additional patients, Arrambide said. More women could lose access to reproductive healthcare if Congress strips funding from Title X or Planned Parenthood, said Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.

hood’s federal money but allow it to go to other health centers. “This legislation would ensure taxpayer dollars for women’s health are actually spent on women’s health — not a scandalplagued political lobbying giant,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. The bill calls for no reduction in overall federal spending on women’s health, according to a

statement from Ernst’s office. The Family Research Council, which opposes abortion, praised the legislation. “By freeing up these scarce federal dollars, women who need health care will be able to obtain a range of services at community health centers, hospitals, primary care physicians and other organizations,” said Arina Grossu, director of the Family Research Council’s Center for Human Dignity. Political analysts say the bill is unlikely to become law. Although the Republican-led House may pass the measure, it will almost certainly fail in the Senate because Democrats will block the bill, and Republicans don’t have the 60-vote super-majority needed to advance it. Even if Congress did pass the bill, President Obama would be certain to veto it, and Republicans don’t have the votes to override a veto, said John Pitney, a professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College in California. The vote will force members of Congress to go on the record on Planned Parenthood, however, Pitney said. “This is Kabuki theater,” Pitney said. “You know exactly what the moves are going to be in advance.” Family planning clinics are a lifeline for many low-income and rural women. Four in 10 women who go to publicly funded family planning centers describe the centers as their only source of medical care, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

IN BRIEF CALIF. GOVERNOR DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for all of California in the wake of wildfires that killed one firefighter and drove hundreds of people from their homes. California’s record drought, now in its fourth year, has “turned much of the state into a tinderbox,” Brown said. The emergency declaration, which included the activation of the California National Guard, will speed up help for thousands of firefighters, Brown said Friday. Nearly 9,000 firefighters battled 24 large wildfires in California on Saturday, according to state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant. — Doug Stanglin and Jessica Guynn LEGIONNAIRES’ DEATH TOLL CLIMBS WITH 4 DEAD IN NYC

departments have raced to buy body cameras while others have added more diversity discussions. Additionally, President Obama has banned the sale of some kinds of military equipment to local law enforcement agencies, following widespread criticism of a paramilitary-like response to protests in Ferguson. Brown Sr. said he’s glad his son’s name is tied to such initiatives. Still, the country has much more work to do. He started a foundation, Chosen for Change, aimed at empowering youth and strengthening families.

“I can’t say all police are bad. ... But it’s hard to pick them out of a haystack.” Michael Brown Sr.

“It’s a lot of things that still need to be changed outside of Ferguson,” Brown said. “I can’t say all police are bad. I want to say that. But it’s hard to pick them out of a haystack. You don’t know who you are running into, and people are tired. They are fed up.” Brown added that justice for him would be winning the wrongful death civil lawsuit he and his son’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, filed against the city of Ferguson, former police chief Thomas Jackson and Wilson. The father also reflected on the latest case of alleged police misconduct against African Americans. Former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing was charged with murder in the July 19 shooting death of Samuel DuBose, 43, an unarmed black man the officer pulled over for a missing front license plate. Tensing was indicted and pleaded not guilty. “I’m very happy for the family that they are getting some type of justice,” Brown said of DuBose’s family. “The police have to do a better job of what they are doing. This is the reason why people are very upset.” He applauded activists in Cincinnati who say they won’t let demonstrations turn violent. Brown said that’s the right approach and urged people demonstrating in St. Louis to keep activities peaceful as they remember his son. As his thoughts continuously turn to his son, Brown tries to remain strong. He visits the teen’s grave often and frequently eats at the teen’s favorite Brazilian restaurant to remember happier times. “We aren’t stopping this fight,” he said. “But at the end of the day, we lost — we lost our son.” Corrections & Clarifications

HUCKABEE CRITICIZED OVER HOLOCAUST REFERENCE Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, drew rebukes from members of both parties for saying the Iran nuclear agreement would “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.” President Obama weighed in from Ethiopia: “Maybe this is just an effort to push Mr. Trump out of the headlines but it’s not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now.” Jeb Bush, one of Huckabee’s rivals for the GOP nomination, also took issue. “This is not the way we’re going to win elections and that’s not how we’re going to solve problems,” he said. CLINTON PASSES ON KEYSTONE QUESTION Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton again opted against taking a position on the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline, saying it was President Obama’s and Secretary of State John Kerry’s call. The pipeline, which would move oil from the tar sands of Canada to the Gulf Coast, is opposed by environmentalists. When asked about it at a New Hampshire town hall, she said: “If it’s undecided when I become president, I will answer your question.”

W WASHINGTON

ith the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act days away, Congressional Democrats are commemorating the landmark law with events across the country — from the steps of the U.S. Capitol to the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama. They’re also using the Aug. 6 anniversary to step up pressure on colleagues to act on new voting rights proposals. “We’re here 50 years later demanding that the Congress and our Republican colleagues do the right thing and bring a voting rights bill to the floor,” Democratic Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, a legend in the civil rights movement, said last week at the Capitol. “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred in a democratic society.” In floor speeches, House Democrats invoked memories of the battle for the 1965 Voting Rights Act. And dozens of the lawmakers gathered on the Capitol steps on Thursday to blast Republicans for failing to act on voting rights bills before leaving for the August work period. “This should be a call to action,” said Sen. Patrick Leahy, DVt., the lead sponsor of one voting rights bill. “This is not a history lesson.” Back in their districts, House Democrats planned to join civil rights groups in holding events leading up to the anniversary of the day President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama planned to join the NAACP on Saturday in Selma as the organization kicked off its “America’s Journey for Justice,” a national march from the Edmund Pettus Bridge to Washington. The bridge is famous as the site of “Bloody Sunday,” when Alabama state troopers beat peaceful voting rights marchers in 1965. In Tunica., Miss., lawmakers will mark the anniversary this week at the Congressional Black

Caucus Institute’s annual policy conference. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said he and other black lawmakers will maintain pressure on Congress to approve new voting rights legislation. “Our job over the break is to not let it go dark,” said Thompson, chairman of the CBC Institute’s board of directors. Support for voting rights legislation gained momentum after a Supreme Court decision in 2013 invalidated a provision that had required certain states and other jurisdictions with a history of voting discrimination to get federal permission — or pre-clearance — before making any changes to their election procedures. Democrats are pushing for legislation to update the pre-clearance provision, saying new state-voter-ID laws and other changes show voting discrimination remains a problem.

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and sponsor of a voting rights bill, invokes memories of the battle for the 1965 law.

Under the Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2015, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas would be subject to pre-clearance. Another bill would make 13 states subject to such monitoring. Both measures face an uphill battle. Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond of Louisiana said Democrats must convince Republicans that passing voting rights legislation “is the right thing to do.” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has said the legislation is unnecessary and that the Voting Rights Act has strong provisions to protect against voter discrimination.

Voting rights still fiercely debated

Court’s pre-clearance ruling revives issue Mary Troyan USA Today

WASHINGTON Fifty years ago, Southern lawmakers tried in vain to stop the Voting Rights Act, calling it an unconstitutional assault on their states’ right to decide who was qualified to cast a ballot. “The bill is tailor-made to Martin Luther King’s demand for Negro control of the political institutions of the South,” Democratic Sen. Allen Ellender of Louisiana said on the Senate floor in 1965. “Only through such a nefarious piece of legislation could incompetents gain control of the political processes in the South or in the United States.” Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina argued that passing the Voting Rights Act would make Congress “the final resting place of the Constitution and the rule of law.” “For it is here that they will have been buried with shovels of emotion under piles of expediency,” Thurmond said. As the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act approaches on Thursday, the law is considered a landmark achievement in the struggle for civil rights and an inclusive democracy. Bipartisan majorities in Congress repeatedly have renewed it, and it’s credited with transforming the South by giving African Americans the ability to share in civic life. But shades of the 1965 states’ rights debate have returned to Washington. A 2013 Supreme Court decision tossing out one part of the law has reopened the 50-year-old question over whether federal officials should be able to veto local election laws before they take effect because they might harm minority voters. The justices invalidated the formula that had been used to determine which states, towns and cities had to get federal permission — or pre-clearance — before making any changes to their voting procedures. The provision is credited with preventing hundreds of discriminatory voting laws from taking effect, especially in the South. Today’s Southern Republicans are invoking a similar states’ rights argument on why the court’s decision ending pre-

clearance should be left alone. They say that pre-clearance is an unnecessary relic and that Congress should get out of the business of presuming some states will use new district boundaries, voter ID laws or relocated polling places to suppress the minority vote. “The fact of the matter is we have a Voting Rights Act — it is very strong,” Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told the Roanoke (Va.) Times in June. “We are certainly willing to look at any new evidence of discrimination if there is a need to take any measures. But at this point in time, we have not seen that.”

“We don’t have to count the marbles in a jar to get our voting card, but there are barriers being placed.” Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Ala.

Some in Congress, especially African-American and Latino Democrats, see the 2013 court decision as an invitation to update the pre-clearance formula and reinstate the practice in places with a recent history of problems. Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell of Alabama, who is black, said the roadblocks facing minority voters today are more subtle than the literacy tests used before the Voting Rights Act. But it took her disabled father 51⁄2 hours last year to get a voter ID card required under a new state law, and a federal judge ordered the city of Evergreen, Ala., last year to redo a discriminatory redistricting plan. “We don’t have to count the marbles in a jar or recite all 67 counties in Alabama to get our voting card, but there is no denying there are barriers being placed,” Sewell said. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the only current member of Congress who was serving when the 1965 act was passed, said the debate back then was driven by race. “Here, there is a little bit more subtlety in their opposition,” Conyers said of Southern lawmakers. “They’re claiming things are better and that we’ve done all that we’ve need to do, which is clearly not the case.”

New generations learn to tell about the horrors encountered by those who lived

HIROSHIMA , JAPAN

Sunao Tsuboi was on his way to class at Hiroshima Technical School on Aug. 6, 1945, when the world’s first atomic bomb detonated in the calm summer. Tsuboi remembers a blinding light, followed by a shock wave that hurled him 30 feet and knocked him unconscious. When he awoke, he was covered in burns and could barely walk. All around him was death, destruction and unimaginable horror. “Houses gone. Bodies everywhere — no arms, no legs, everyone just dead. You look and you ask, ‘Were these really human beings?’ ” Tsuboi, 91, recalled in a recent interview. As the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki nears, officials in Japan are rushing to make sure the personal stories and firsthand knowledge of survivors like Tsuboi are not lost. Of the million-plus Japanese classified as “hibakusha,” or atomic bomb survivors, in the postwar years, only about 183,000 are still alive. Their average age is now 80 — only a few years below Japan’s average life expectancy. Many are still fighting illnesses and injuries traced to the bombings seven decades ago. “The survivors are getting old and are disappearing, and there are fewer people to tell their stories. So we need to train people to pass along these stories and knowledge so that it doesn’t disappear,” said Ayami Shibata, a Hiroshima city official. An estimated 140,000 people died from the Hiroshima bombing, and even more were killed three days later in the attack on Nagasaki, on Aug. 9. Tens of thousands of others were injured or suffered deep emotional damage. Time has not eased the burden. Decades after the bombings, survivors can be diagnosed with cancer and others illnesses linked to radiation. “When the radiation began to appear, we were all shocked. We thought it was over. But 10 years, 20 years later, people were still dying and still suffering,” said Keiko Ogura, 78, a Hiroshima survivor who works as an interpreter and volunteer at the Peace Memorial Museum. The survivors’ torment was

compounded by discrimination from other Japanese. Unfounded fears that hibakusha could spread radiation-related diseases caused many fellow citizens to shun them. Having survived the horrors of the bombings, hibakusha found themselves turned away from jobs, schools and housing — and even rejected by potential marriage partners. By the late 1950s, the Japanese government finally began providing medical care and other benefits for the survivors. But it was still decades before many survivors found the courage to publicly acknowledge their experiences. “For many years, the hibakusha were reluctant to talk about it, because we suffered so much discrimination,” said Ogura, who was 8 when the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Her home was destroyed, and an older brother had burns to his hands and face. She has never forgotten the

long lines of horribly burned survivors slowly moving past what was left of her home, searching for food, shelter and medical care that was no longer there. By the early 1980s, Ogura decided that survivors should tell their stories and organized a group of interpreters to speak with foreign visitors to Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum. About 1.3 million people visited the museum last year, including 230,000 from overseas. “We thought, ‘We’re survivors, so maybe we should communicate what we saw to people all over the world. Maybe we were supposed to live to tell people what happened and to speak for those who didn’t live,’ ” said Ogura, now 78, who also lectures throughout Japan and speaks at overseas events. She said the goal is not to seek sympathy or portray Japan as a victim of the war, but to alert the world to the horrors of nuclear war.

KIRK SPITZER, USA TODAY

Suneo Tsuboi, 91, was about a mile from ground zero when the atomic bomb nicknamed “Little Boy” exploded over Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945.

“We don’t blame the Americans. It’s not a matter of victim or victimizers — they are both the same thing when you are facing nuclear weapons,” she said. Three years ago, officials became alarmed at the dwindling number of survivors — most were children when the bombs were dropped — and began training “successors” to pass along the stories of survivors. “There won’t be any hibakusha left one day, so the more people there are to tell their stories, the better,” said Minako Omatsu, 43, who was among the first group to graduate from the three-year training program this year. Asami Kuwahara, 20, a Hiroshima native who attends North Dakota State University, said “Many people today can’t imagine what happened in Hiroshima. And after hearing from me, I think it makes them think about the reality of what happened to the ordinary people who were there.”

Old claims rising up as Cuba-U.S. begin anew Property seized in revolution vs. losses from trade embargo Alan Gomez USA TODAY

Across the country, thousands of Americans are storing fading documents that represent a piece of Cuba taken from them by Fidel Castro in the 1960s. They could be worth billions. For U.S. companies such as Coca-Cola and Texaco, those papers list properties nationalized by Castro’s revolutionaries. For film studios such as Universal, they detail hundreds of confiscated film reels. In many cases, the documents have been passed down to children and charities, meticulously itemizing homes, farms, vehicles and animals seized by the government. A Holocaust memorial library in New York City preserves a document listing paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso, Monet and Renoir taken from the Havana apartment of the library’s founder, Olga Lengyel. Now that each country has reopened its embassy in the other’s capital, the chance of reclaiming property, or getting some kind of compensation, is finally possible. Shortly after Castro’s takeover, the U.S. Justice Department established a Foreign Claims Settlement Commission for American citizens and companies whose properties were confiscated. The commission approved 5,913 claims worth $1.9 billion, about $7 billion today. The U.S. MIAMI

Fred Swetland III spent so much of his childhood on the family’s ranch, left, that he calls himself “half-Cuban.” The Swetland family ranch was almost 10,000 acres on Cuba’s Isle of Pines. Fidel Castro seized the property.

State Department says it asked Cuba to begin those talks. Like most negotiations with the Cubans, there are many obstacles. For one thing, Cuba claims it is due a big payday from the U.S. government that dwarfs the U.S. claims against Cuba. In 1999, a Cuban court estimated that the U.S. embargo on Cuba had cost its citizens $181 billion. The United States is sure to reject claims of that magnitude. Even so, at a news conference in Washington by Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez to highlight the new relationship, Rodriguez made clear Cuba will pursue them. “The U.S. government has recognized that the blockade against Cuba is a wrong policy, causing isolation and bringing about humanitarian damages and privations and deprivations to our people,” he said. Another problem: The U.S. claims don’t include thousands of Cuban Americans who lost property before they fled to the USA. The State Department will negotiate only on behalf of U.S. citizens at the time their property was seized; Cuban Americans will have to negotiate on their own. Nicolas Gutierrez says he represents more than 550 CubanAmerican families whose properties were taken. Though only a small fraction actually want to reclaim their old homes, he said all deserve some compensation. “Many of these people are old, and their kids and grandkids aren’t necessarily interested in going back,” he said. “But the owners should be recognized. They should be able to decide if they want the property back or

get some compensation for it.” There are also billions of dollars in court rulings handed down by U.S. judges against Cuba’s government for the deaths and injuries of American citizens. Andrew Hall, a Miami attorney who specializes in foreign property claims, won nearly $3 billion for a client whose family alleged it had been tortured by Cuban forces.

“The owners should be able to decide if they want the property or get some compensation for it.” Nicolas Gutierrez, who represents more than 550 Cuban-American families whose properties were taken

Hall said the U.S. government will face intense public pressure if it only seeks property compensation. “A congressman doesn’t want to be the guy that told American victims of terrorism, ‘Tough luck,’ but Americans who owned forfeited property, ‘You’re fine,’ ” Hall said. Even if it were willing, there’s the question of whether Cuba can afford to pay the claims. Matthew Aho, a New York consultant with the Akerman law firm, said Cuba has settled many property claims with countries such as Spain, France and Canada, but those cases were settled for “pennies on the dollar. Many of these countries decided a long time ago that full diplomatic and commercial relations was in their national interest more than holding out for some future resolution of the property claims.”

ELECTION 2016

PRIMARY DEBATE

MOMENTS

David Jackson | USA TODAY

A memorable turn of phrase (“I’m paying for this microphone!”) … a big blooper (“Oops”) … a rubber rat. You never know what you’re going to get at a party primary debate. Republicans on Thursday hold the political season’s first set of primary debates, a quadrennial exercise that has bolstered some campaigns and destroyed others, providing some of the most memorable moments in politics. The general election debates — Kennedy-Nixon, Reagan-Carter, ObamaRomney — draw more attention in the history books. But primary debates have generated special memories of their own.

RUBBER RAT 1 THE MARCH 5, 1972 | DURHAM, N.H.

USA TODAY

Two days before the 1972 Democratic primary in New Hampshire, front-runner Edmund Muskie faced challengers George McGovern, Vance Hartke, Sam Yorty — and Ned Coll, 32, founder of a Connecticut anti-poverty group called the Revitalization Corps. Coll held up a rubber rat during a discussion of urban issues, proclaiming that “this is the real problem.” Muskie won the primary — but by a smaller-than-expected margin over McGovern, who went on to claim the nomination before his landslide loss to President Nixon.

REAGAN VS. GEORGE H.W. BUSH 2 RONALD FEB. 23, 1980 | NASHUA, N.H. Ronald Reagan’s campaign laid a trap for George H.W. Bush, and Bush fell right into it. Bush, who had won the Iowa caucuses, wanted a one-on-one debate with Reagan, the New Hampshire front-runner. Reagan’s campaign financed a debate in Nashua — and at the last minute opted to invite other primary candidates, including Bob Dole. A sandbagged Bush objected to including the others, while Reagan argued for it. When the moderator called for cutting off Reagan’s mike, the candidate uttered a famous phrase: “I’m paying for this microphone, Mr. Green!” (Note: He muffed the moderator’s name, which was Jon Breen.) Reagan went on to win the primary, the nomination and the presidency, with Bush as his running mate.

MONDALE VS. GARY HART 3 WALTER MARCH 11, 1984 | ATLANTA

Democratic favorite Walter Mondale, the former vice president, found himself under challenge by young Sen. Gary Hart, who promoted himself as a “new ideas” kind of Democrat. In accusing Hart of being non-specific, Mondale made use of a popular Wendy’s hamburger commercial: “When I hear your new ideas, I’m reminded of that ad, ‘Where’s the beef?’ ” Hart, who had won the New Hampshire primary, got roughed up quite a bit that night in Georgia and never seemed to recover. Mondale won the nomination but lost the general election to President Reagan.

CLINTON VS. JERRY BROWN MARCH 15, 1992 | CHICAGO 4 BILL

Bill Clinton was leading the 1992 Democratic nomination battle when challenger Jerry Brown brought up allegations about the Arkansas law firm that employed Hillary Clinton. Shaking his finger at Brown, Clinton said, “Let me tell you something, Jerry. I don’t care what you say about me. … But you ought to be ashamed of yourself for jumping on my wife.” Bill Clinton went on to win the presidency; Brown is now the governor of California. Hillary Clinton, former senator and secretary of State as well as first lady, is running for president in 2016.

This debate is more remembered for what happened during a commercial break. Bush, who lost big to McCain in New Hampshire, seemed to be fighting for his political life in South Carolina, a campaign in which Bush backers launched brutal attacks on the Arizona senator. During a break, Bush took McCain’s hand and asked for less acrimony. McCain pointed out some of the less savory attacks on AFP him and his family. When Bush said he had nothing to do with them, McCain shot back, “Don’t give me that s— … And take your hands off me.” Bush went on to win the South Carolina primary, the Republican nomination and the general election.

OBAMA VS. HILLARY CLINTON 6 BARACK JAN. 5, 2008 | MANCHESTER, N.H.

One of the more memorable moments in the epic nomination battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton took place three days before the New Hampshire primary. A questioner asked Clinton — coming off a loss to Obama in the Iowa caucuses — about the “likability issue.” Clinton joked, “Well, that hurts my feelings … but I’ll try to go on.” Obama interjected, “You’re likable enough, Hillary.” The backhanded compliment did not go over well. Clinton defeated Obama in New Hampshire, though Obama won the nomination and the presidency. Clinton tries again in 2016.

Let’s consider where Netflix stood when it entered 2015. Although the company’s stock had fallen 25% in the last three months of 2014, it still traded for a hefty valuation. Shares were valued at 90 times trailing earnings, and Netflix hadn’t produced positive free cash flow during the year. The company had just announced ambitious plans to expand to nearly every country on the map and warned that it would take a while before its investments truly paid off. Since then, the stock has more than doubled — up an amazing 125% in just seven months’ time. Although it’s still a mighty expensive holding — now over 300 times trailing earnings — the company’s success at growing its subscriber base truly stands out.

not only of this year but of the past few years. The casino operator’s recovery began last year and accelerated in earnest in 2015, with shares more than doubling since the start of the year. Isle of Capri Casinos owns or operates 15 casinos in seven states, and strong performance has fueled its drive higher, with revenue and earnings topping analyst expectations. A continuously improving economy and more disposable cash in consumers’ pockets have been big factors in helping the casino operator outpace even its thriving industry. Unlike other bigger, more well-known players, Isle of Capri Casinos doesn’t have exposure to Macau. Thus, when revenue there started to plummet last year after a crackdown on corruption, the U.S.-based operator, whose properties are mostly in secondary markets, was unfazed. This has helped its stock perform far better than its gaming peers.

It wasn’t so long ago that many had declared the era of traditional video games dead, with the potential competition from mobile devices and other newer options threatening the viability of console-based video gaming. Yet Electronic Arts has defied calls for its early demise,

with the stock vaulting higher by 57% so far in 2015 after roughly doubling in 2014. Electronic Arts’ renaissance was largely due to new hardware from the major game-console makers, which gave EA a chance to showcase its gamemaking capabilities. With core franchises including Battlefield, Dragon Age and sports musthaves like the Madden series of football video games, Electronic Arts has attracted gamers of all ages. At the same time, EA has addressed some of the quality concerns that its customers had, with new games like Titanfall getting critical acclaim. EA’s subscription service has also had early success. It offers gamers a chance to try older titles that they otherwise wouldn’t buy, but at a price they’re willing to pay, generating recurring revenue for the company.

SKECHERS Tamara Walsh

In the past, when you wanted to buy a pair of knockoff sneakers, Skechers was your one-stop shop. Today, however, the retailer has evolved from a cheap purveyor of off-brand footwear into the No. 2 brand share position in the U.S. athletic footwear market. As if that isn’t surprising enough, the stock has gained an eye-popping 124% so far in 2015. Shares are now trading at an all-time high around $124 per share. Skechers shocked Wall Street after delivering blowout firstquarter results in which sales climbed a record 40% to $768 million. Earnings for the period also topped expectations, coming in at $1.10 per share. The strong fiscal 2015 first-quarter results came on the heels of an annual sales record of $2.4 billion in 2014. It seems Skechers has a winning formula. The company isn’t shy about using celebrity endorsements to move its products, including deals with world-famous drummer Ringo Starr, recording artist Demi Lovato and legendary quarterbacks Joe Montana and Joe Namath, to name a few. With the stock now trading near an all-time high, investors may want to remain on the sidelines for now.

I think that it’s something that’s inspirational for people.” Tesla sales are also spreading past the West Coast, according to the analysis. Several states, including Florida, Washington, Texas and Arizona, saw significantly more used Model S vehicles sold, compared with sales for the same model sold new. “I think the fact that you are seeing Model S in a more diverse area is a promising sign,” Caldwell says. “It’s spreading across the nation.” California remains the highest in Tesla sales, home to 45.2% of new Model S buyers and 30.5% of used vehicle buyers.

REAL ESTATE

Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

ecades ago, enlisting a real estate agent was your sole way to buy or sell a property. Now, thanks to easy access to property data and the rise of online services that let you schedule showing times with a swipe of your smartphone, consumers have plenty of options to take more control. And by taking on some of the work yourself, you may be able to save some serious cash. Traditionally, the seller must subtract a 6% commission from the proceeds of a real estate transaction and split it between agents — 3% to the buyer’s rep and 3% for the seller’s. This might not sound like a lot, but consider the median home price in America is $282,800 as of May, meaning the typical commission would be $16,968. And while the buyer theoretically pays nothing, it’s natural to expect the final sales price to reflect these charges. It’s also worth remembering that few sellers own their homes outright, says Glenn Kelman, CEO of online real estate marketplace Redfin. “So many people were trapped in their homes in 2008 and 2009 because they didn’t have the equity to sell because the transaction costs were so high,” Kelman says. Beyond dollars and cents, there’s also the issue of fairness, based on all the work buyers and sellers do on their own these days, says Steve Udelson, president of Owners.com. “There’s kind of a missing link in the value chain to be able to use that information,” Udelson says. It’s like making your own travel arrangements online. “At the end of that, what do you do? Do you hand it off to a travel agent? If so, why did you bother figuring out your own itinerary?” Udelson cites data from the California Association of Realtors that show buyers spend upward of four months in the market before they even contact an agent, with 45% of them finding a home on their own. DIY DISRUPTION

Of course, Redfin and Owners .com aren’t exactly charities. Both are interested in shaking up real estate and keeping the fees for themselves. Their piece of the pie, however, is much smaller. At Owners .com, for example, sellers can pay a flat fee of about $400 to list on the Multiple Listing Service, or MLS. This is the universal property list that all agents use and one of the biggest pieces of the real estate puzzle for folks looking for a buyer. As the name implies, this is kind of a “for sale by owner” for the 21st century. You’ll have to set the listing price on your own, then handle all the showings, inspections and negotiations after that. And if you need help with the paperwork, Owners.com can pitch in for additional charges. “That traditional bundled service made a whole lot of sense before the Internet,” Udelson says. “Today, where half or more of the work is being done by the consumer, that doesn’t really make sense.” For savvy folks, this could unlock amazing savings — at least in regards to the commission typically charged by a seller’s agent. You’ll still have to fork over 3% to the new homeowner’s representative if he used a traditional agent. Redfin offers a higher level of service, with its own agents who partner with you, but they do so later in the process than typical real estate agents do. The firm recently launched a “Book it Now” feature that lets buyers schedule a showing with just a few clicks on the Redfin listing. The ability to browse listings online and book visits themselves to as many homes as they want is a huge plus, both to buyers and to Redfin agents who don’t have to do that legwork. “There isn’t a single human

New DIY options change the game

For the second year in a row, Millennials have led all age groups in home purchases, according to the 2015 National Association of Realtors Buyer and Seller Generational Trends study. So it’s no surprise that a growing number of digitally inclined real estate companies are ready and willing to serve. OpenDoor, Xome and Redfin are all mobilizing the process. In addition, mobile app SQFT (pronounced “square foot”) joined the party, going national in May. These services are all about simplifying and saving money. Here is how the process worked for one buyer and one seller. ADAM BUCHANAN 31, OF KAYSVILLE, UTAH, A SOCIAL-MEDIA MARKETER AND BEEKEEPER uWHAT: He sold his home entirely on his iPhone using SQFT, a new mobile app that charges ideally as little as 2% in fees (1% to list the home on MLS, Zillow, Redfin and the other sites, and 1% to the buyer’s agent — and if the buyer comes directly through the SQFT app without a buyer’s agent, the total commission is only 1%). He saved about $9,000 on the $300,000 sale. uWHERE: The home he sold was in Denver. uWHEN: Closed in May uHOW DID IT GO? “Very smooth.” Buchanan says his wife was skeptical, but he’s a huge fan of automating and simplifying. “As a seller, from a logistical standpoint, with SQFT, it’s very streamlined.” Everything was done via text, phone and email.

though SQFT took care of the photos (it’s included in the listing fee), he created the listing himself, got the home ready to go on the market and took care of the showings. Denver is a hot market, so after three days and about 15 showings, all arranged via text, the home was under contract. Buchanan was concerned about the paperwork, but when the time came, “they acted very much like a traditional Realtor. They took care of all that.” uWHY: With student debt, three kids and a fourth on the way, “I thought, for a little bit of risk on a DIY approach, we could really come out on top. And we did.” Buchanan paid off some debt and his car and rolled some of his savings into his next house and started an online venture to network with beekeepers buying and selling their local honey. uBOTTOM LINE: “We are now entering a very customer-centric generation of services and products. The power that consumers have is now really outstanding.”

Isaac Kearns looked at about 20 homes before settling on this one.

ISAAC KEARNS 31, PROCUREMENT MANAGER uWHAT: Bought his house through Redfin, a brokerage whose agents earn customersatisfaction bonuses, not commissions, passing on those savings to customers. He sold for $315,000 and got about $1,800 cash back at closing with Redfin’s refund program. It was his second home purchase: The first time he went the traditional route. uWHERE: Des Moines, Wash., south of Seattle uWHEN: Closed at the end of May uHOW DID IT GO? “It was better than the first time I bought. It was a terrific experience. Their whole process is much more customer-focused.”

uWHY: “Consumers do it mostly themselves anyway.” The first time around, he went online and checked out the area on his own: the schools, crime rates and the houses he was interested in. Then, after doing his own legwork, he fed all that information to his Realtor to set up showings. That’s one area that Kearns liked much better with Redfin. While he had a Redfin agent he was working with, he could set up his own showings using a variety of Redfin associates. “They have a whole team to show up whenever you want. You can tour 30 homes if you want to. You can book tours so easily.” uBOTTOM LINE: He ended up using about five different associates to show him about 20 homes, and then his own agent was there to answer questions, attend the home inspection and help with closing. “I didn’t get any less service with this. Actually I probably got more. And I got cash back from Redfin. It was kind of a no-brainer.”

Kansas freshmen drawing praise By Gary Bedore gbedore@lworld.com

Sports Illustrated has great expectations for two of Kansas University’s incoming freshmen basketball players. SI.com included forwards Carlton Bragg and Cheick Diallo in a piece commenting on how the top 25 incoming college rookies fit in with their new teams. Bragg, 6-9 from Cleveland, was deemed the 22nd best player in the Class of 2015 by writer Chris Johnson. “Bragg will join Perry Ellis and Cheick Diallo to form one of the top frontcourts in the country,” writes Johnson. “Whereas Ellis is a refined post scorer and Diallo excels as a shot blocker and rebounder, Bragg is highly regarded for his offensive versatility and ability to stretch defenses by knocking down jump shots. “Still, it’s not clear how much playing time Bragg will earn in a rotation that — in addition to adding Diallo and bringing back Ellis — returns veterans Hunter Mickelson, Landen Lucas and Jamari Traylor. Kansas has so much depth that Bragg may play only limited minutes in his first season.” Diallo, 6-9 from Mali, was ranked No. 6 freshman by Johnson. “The addition of Diallo pushed Kansas into the national title conversation and deprived Iowa State, Kentucky, Pittsburgh and St. John’s — his four other listed finalists — of one of the top frontcourt prospects in this class,” Johnson writes. “The 6-9, 218-pounder is an active shot blocker and rebounder, but he distinguishes himself from other big men with his work rate and intensity. Diallo should fit well in Kansas’s frontcourt. Whereas Ellis is a skilled post scorer with limited explosiveness and shot-blocking ability, Diallo is a top-notch athlete who will chase rebounds on both ends, swat plenty of shots and deter opposing ball handlers from driving to the rim. The Jayhawks won’t need Diallo to put up big scoring numbers because, in addition to Ellis and the offensively-skilled Bragg, they return a deep perimeter rotation that includes point guards Frank Mason III and Devonté Graham, and wings Wayne Selden Jr., Brannen Greene and Svi Mykhailiuk.” LSU player Ben Simmons was listed as SI’s top incoming player in college basketball. l Homestate school struggling: Recent developments at Arkansas do not figure to help the Razorbacks in the recruitment of prep phenom Malik Monk of Bentonville. UA’s Anton Beard, Jacorey Williams and Dustin Thomas were recently arrested in a forgery investigation — i.e. passing counterfeit money. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Thomas passed two counterfeit 20 dollar bills, Williams one and Beard four and exchanged six 50 dollar bills for three 100s. Williams also is being investigated in a pair of alleged assaults, the Democrat-Gazette reports. As far as the roster, UA lost Bobby Portis to the NBA Draft.

Beaty likes KU’s options at running back By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When David Beaty arrived at Kansas University as its new football coach in December, it looked as if finding a starting running back would be the least of his problems. Beaty will never know, however, what Corey Avery might have accomplished in offensive coordinator Rob Likens’ system. The Jayhawks’ leading rusher in 2014 (631 yards, 4.2 yards a carry, five touchdowns), Avery violated an undisclosed team rule in the spring following his promising debut season and — along with wide receiver Rodriguez Coleman — earned a dismissal from the program in June. As preseason camp approaches, KU might not have a clear-cut No. 1 running back. But cheery first-year coach Beaty isn’t concerned about finding a productive

He actually thinks a few Jayhawks might fit the bill. “I will say this. In my time as a college football coach, what I’ve learned is it is very

difficult to make it through a season with one or even two running backs,” Beaty said at Big 12 Media Days, in Dallas. “You need to have some depth, and that’s something I’m glad that we have right

now. We’ve got some very capable guys. Guys that have played college football.” Two of KU’s projected top four running backs have played in Big 12 contests: senior Taylor Cox, who suffered season-ending injuries in both 2013 and 2014, and senior De’Andre Mann, who played in six league games this past fall. After rushing for more than 2,700 yards in two years at College of the Siskiyous, Cox, granted a sixth year of college eligibility due to his injuries, played in all 12 games as a KU junior in 2012. He rushed for 464 yards on 91 carries (5.1 yard average) and three touchdowns. Kansas junior offensive lineman Jordan ShelleySmith could tell how much sitting out almost all of the past two seasons ate at his teammate. Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Zobrist tags two; Royals trip Blue Jays

Toronto (ap) — After a big win over the Blue Jays, it was slow jam time in the Kansas City Royals clubhouse. Seated around a table in the middle of the room, Kendrys Morales and Danny Duffy gave a spirited sing-along to Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.” Maybe they were dedicating it to new teammate Ben Zobrist. Zobrist hit solo home runs from both sides of the plate, Eric Hosmer singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, and the Royals beat Toronto, 7-6, on Saturday to snap a threegame losing streak. “We had to have this one today,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We had to.” Zobrist, who went 3 for 4 Please see HOOPS, page 3C and scored three runs, hom-

ered from the right side in the first and doubled and scored in the sixth. “It feels incredible,” Zobrist said. “You try and put good swings on the ball from both sides of the plate when you have to switch around during the game but it’s tough.” Yordano Ventura (6-7) gave up five runs and six hits in seven innings to win back-to-back starts for the first time since April. “I thought he threw the ball great,” Yost said. “These guys are hotter than heck and their power is amazing.” Wade Davis worked the eighth and Greg Holland pitched around a walk and a single for his 23rd save.

Oceanport, N.J. — American Pharoah is more than arguably the best thoroughbred in the world. He’s a cash cow. And it’s Monmouth Park’s turn to profit this weekend as the Triple Crown winner runs in Sunday’s Haskell Invitational. This is a win-win proposition for everybody involved. Ahmed Zayat, owner of the 3-year-old bay colt, pockets the $1 million winner’s share if American Pharoah, established as an early morning 1-5 favorite, can beat an outclassed field in a warm-up for the Travers Stakes at Saratoga or whatever final Breeders’ Cup Classic prep race he runs in late August or early September. Plus Monmouth wins. Even after it added $750,000 to the usual $1 million purse for its showcase race, the track’s cash registers won’t stop ringing. An expected crowd of 60,000 would top the record crowd of 47 previous Haskells, the 53,638 who watched the 2003 race. “We did this to honor the horse,” said Dennis Drazin, a management consultant to the New Jersey Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association, which owns Monmouth, at Thursday’s post position draw. “We thought this was the right thing to do for Monmouth Park.” So there was no hesitation to fatten the purse, even after Zayat and trainer Bob Baffert were given $75,000 appearance fees, $25,000 for each Triple Crown victory. After talks with William Hill, the British oddsmaker and the Haskell’s sponsor, the Monmouth brass came up with an idea to approach tracks in other states to run a series of three lucrative races. When that idea didn’t float, Monmouth announced the purse increase on Wednesday, although several insiders are convinced the increase, the final inducement for Zayat to run his horse in his home state, was finalized earlier in the month. “There is so much new money out there in the industry,” said Bob Kulina, president of Darby Development, operators of the track, referring to Monmouth’s competition for Grade 1 caliber horses. American Pharoah is in a class of his own. The first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, he has won seven straight graded stakes races, after finishing fifth in his first, and has earned $4.53 million for Zayat Stables LLC. While Monmouth has done an excellent job of creating an event atmosphere for the Haskell, this edition needs no marketing gimmicks or commemorative hats, although that tradition will continue. This race begins and ends with American Pharoah. He’s the attraction. He’s the star. He’s why 200 media credentials (or 100 more than usual) have been issued. “There’s so much interest,” Kulina said. “To see some of the ticket prices on Stub Hub was amazing, even if they’re not true.” Kulina likes to compare American Pharoah’s popularity to Jordan’s, that’s Michael of basketball fame, not Mr. Jordan, a Monmouth-based horse who is 15-1 in Sunday’s race. Years from now, Drazin says, fans will remember the day they saw American Pharoah run at Monmouth, just as fans in the past remember watching Secretariat, Seattle Slew and other champions.

TEAM AFRICA’S TREY BURKE OF THE UTAH JAZZ, LEFT, GOES UP FOR A SHOT against Team Africa’s Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, center, during the NBA Africa Game Saturday at Ellis Park Arena in Johannesburg, South Africa.

NBA stars put on a show in South Africa Johannesburg — The NBA put on a show in its first exhibition game in Africa on Saturday — starting with a dunk straight from the tip-off by Luc Mbah a Moute. That had the crowd roaring early at Ellis Park Arena in downtown Johannesburg. It got even louder when African NBA legends Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutombo stripped off their business suits to don their old team uniforms again and play for a little while in the second quarter. The 52-year-old Olajuwon, in a Houston No. 34 jersey, pulled off a turn-around jumper — the “Dream Shake” — that had the current NBA stars leaping off the benches with their arms in the air. “That’s one of the most memorable experiences ever,” said Chris Paul, one of the team captains. “I told Dream, if he’s still moving like that at his age now, I couldn’t imagine him in his day.” After a relaxed first half, the game got serious in the second: Paul’s Team World rallied with a 14-0 run in the fourth quarter to beat Luol Deng’s “home” Team Africa 101-97. “In the second half we decided enough was enough and we needed to do a lot better if we didn’t want to lose by 40,” Team World’s Pau Gasol said. Washington’s Bradley Beal led Team World with 18 points while Paul had 12. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points for Team Africa, with Deng adding 20. But this game was largely about the entertainment factor, with cheerleaders and several NBA team mascots mixing it up with the South African crowd. Even the timeouts were used for stunts: Team Africa coach Gregg Popovich took one in the second quarter that wasn’t used for a team talk, but to give everyone a chance to watch fans breakdance alongside San Antonio mascot Coyote, Philadelphia’s Franklin, and Atlanta’s Harry the Hawk. Even Popovich, the five-time NBA winning coach, had a big grin. At the start of the third quarter, Paul decided that was enough fooling around, hitting three straight 3-pointers to bring the “visiting” team back. Team Africa, made up of players born in Africa or with African heritage, couldn’t hold off the late surge. “We didn’t finish the game. But there’s still room for improvement,” Team Africa’s Boris Diaw of the San Antonio Spurs said, hoping for another chance to play for an African lineup. “It was an amazing experience. So proud to be able to represent the continent.” After Jeff Green’s dunk and a layup by Evan Turner, Team World was suddenly leading 8578 in the fourth and the South African crowd had a proper game. Team World led 99-97 with a couple of seconds to go when Green was fouled and made both free throws to seal the game. The South African exhibition was the NBA’s biggest step into Africa so far, and could be the pre-cursor to a preseason and maybe even a regular season game on the continent, according to Commissioner Adam Silver.

Merritt, Chappell share lead Gainesville, Va. — Troy Merritt shot a tournament-record 10-under 61 on Saturday for a share of the lead with Kevin Chappell after three rounds in the Quicken Loans National. Merritt moved to the top of the leaderboard even before the second-round leaders hit their first shots. He had 11 birdies and a bogey on the par-5 eighth hole. Chappell had a 67 to join him at 14-under 199. The challengers at the tournament midpoint included Tiger Woods, but the two-time champion and tournament host was errant off the tee early, gave back three strokes in his first 12 holes and finished with a 74 to drop into a tie for 42nd at 5 under. Rickie Fowler was one shot back after a 68, and Jason Bohn (67), Whee Kim (67), Charles Howell III (67) and David Lingmerth (68) were 12 under with a round left at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.

Ko, Lu in lead at Turnberry Turnberry, Scotland — Jin-Young Ko of South Korea and Teresa Lu of Taiwan shot 3-under 69s Saturday to share the lead after the third round of the Women’s British Open, with both players chasing a first major title. Second-round leader Suzann Pettersen is a stroke behind their 8-under total of 208 after shooting 72 on a day of changeable weather on the Ailsa links. Chasing victory to complete a career Grand Slam, top-ranked Inbee Park (69) is in a threeway tie for fifth place, with world No. 2 Lydia Ko (72) and Minjee Lee (70). The 20-year-old Jin-Young Ko is the surprise of the tournament. She is playing in her first major, has never played links golf, and has hired a temporary caddie for the event. NFL

Seau’s daughter will speak Canton, Ohio — The Pro Football Hall of Fame will allow Junior Seau’s daughter to speak in an interview after his bust is unveiled next weekend. “Sydney will be given a chance to share thoughts about her father immediately following the unveiling of his bronzed bust,” the Hall of Fame said Saturday night in a statement. “The unveiling, which typically features just the presenter and enshrinee, will include Sydney and Junior’s three sons. Her remarks will be live and onstage in a fashion similar to interviews of returning Hall of Famers.” Seau killed himself in 2012. The Hall of Fame also said Sydney will represent her father and be interviewed during the Thursday night Enshrinees’ Gold Jacket Dinner, broadcast by the NFL Network. “Our goal is to maintain our policy regarding enshrinement speeches, but also show compassion and understanding,” Hall of Fame President David Baker said. Hall policy does not allow live speeches during a posthumous induction.

Sporting KC, Houston draw 1-1 Favre: ‘As normal as I can be’ Kansas City, Kan. — Ricardo Clark scored for Houston on a header in the 78th minute and the Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City tied 1-1 Saturday night. The Dynamo (7-8-6) tied it on a set-piece after a foul conceded by Sporting’s Amadou Dia on the right wing. Brad Davis’ service found Clark at the 6-yard box and his header got behind Tim Melia in the top left corner. Kansas City (9-4-6) scored early. Sporting was awarded a free kick in the sixth minute after a foul by Raul Rodriquez. Benny Feilhaber sent the kick into the middle of the penalty area and Dominic Dwyer rose for a header that beat Tyler Deric to the bottom left corner. Houston almost tied it in the 32nd minute, but Melia made a sprawling save on Tim Davis’ left-footed rocket from the top of the box.

Jackson, Miss. — Brett Favre certainly seems to be enjoying his post-NFL life. The 45-year-old former quarterback spends most of his time around Hattiesburg hanging out with old friends or watching his daughter’s high school volleyball team. He said Saturday that the relatively quiet existence allows him to “be as normal as I can possibly be.” But one of the league’s most accomplished players has had trouble keeping a low profile this summer. The three-time Most Valuable Player was in Jackson for his induction to the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. The ceremony comes just two weeks after he was honored with a spot in the Green Bay Packers’ Hall of Fame and had his No. 4 retired. Up next? A possible spot in Canton in 2016.

Chiefs feature cornerback competition St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — There was already going to be plenty of competition for one of the starting cornerback jobs in Kansas City, even before the Chiefs learned Sean Smith would be suspended for the first three games of the regular season. Now, there are two jobs up for grab. The battle began in earnest Saturday, when the Chiefs had their first full-squad workout of training camp on the campus of Missouri Western. Nearly a dozen players on the roster are capable of playing cornerback, and nearly half have a realistic shot at a starting job.

That makes the competition one of the most intriguing of camp. “We rotate guys in there anyways, and it really doesn’t matter the side,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “We’ve got enough guys there, including the rookies, that can come in and work into the rotation. We’ve got plenty of guys to work through that.” Phillip Gaines appears to have the edge on the rest of the crew after starting five games as a rookie a year ago. But he’ll be pushed by a pair of rookies, including first-round pick Marcus Peters, and a host of more experienced players — Marcus Cooper, Jamell

Junior College Athletic Association Offensive Player of the Year in 2014, when he compiled 1,696 rushing yards and reached the end zone 22 times for Navarro JC. Kinner arrived in Lawrence for the spring semester after his unstoppable fall. Johnson, who already has witnessed plenty of Kinner’s ability, advised fans to be on the lookout for the 180-pound junior. “They’re gonna see somebody that’s lightning-quick, that’s for sure,” the tight end shared. “Ke’aun Kinner, he’s fun to watch. I’ve seen him make some ridiculous cuts and he’s a special player. He really is.” This summer, true freshman Taylor Martin, from Fort Worth, Texas, joined the unit. Beaty touted the 5-foot-10, twostar back as an “exciting” prospect. Plus, with the injury histories of Cox and Mann, a featured role for the Dunbar High star can’t be ruled out. As far as Beaty is concerned, Kansas is fortunate to have four options at the position. “This is a tough league,” the new head coach said. “These are kids that run really fast and run at each other, and bodies get hurt. We’re going to need each and every one of them. I’m excited about our group.”

“I would hear him on the sideline, you know, ‘Man, I just want to get in.’ So he took that to his recovery and really went about making sure he could get back,” ShelleySmith said of power-runner Cox. Mann, a standout junior college running back in two seasons at Hartnell College, supplemented Avery’s carries in 2014, and became Kinner K U ’ s secondleading rusher, with 399 yards on 85 rushes (4.7 average). Injuries caused Mann to miss two games a year ago, and limited his availability during spring practices. Still, KU sophomore tight end Ben Johnson sees him as a powerful rushing option, who can slash past or truck defenders. “He’s just an athlete,” Johnson said. “He’s one of the strongest guys on the team.” Then there are the newcomers. Another junior college product, Ke’Aun Kinner earned the honor of National

averaging 15.9 points a game his junior year, went undrafted. The 6-3 Monk, who is ranked No. 6 nationally by Rivals.com, reportedly has been favoring Arkansas and Kentucky over KU, North Carolina, Oregon, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Florida State and others. His brother, Marcus, played football at Arkansas. His cousin, Ky Madden, started at point guard for UA last season. “I gave the school (Arkansas) four years. They got four years from the Monk family already,” Marcus Monk told SBnation.com. “So there’s no pressure on me. And I keep telling Malik there’s no pressure on him. I know he probably gets hit (by Razorback fans) more than me.” Monk reportedly wants to be assured he’ll be allowed to play point guard instead of shooting guard in college. l Kentucky loaded again: Kentucky keeps adding reinforcements to a team that will visit Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 30. Highly touted Jamal Murray, a 6-4 freshman guard from Canada, reclassified from the Class of 2016 to 2015 in June and promptly signed with Kentucky. Murray scored 30 points

against the U.S. at the Nike Hoop Summit. “I had so many people call me to tell me how unbelievable he was,” UK coach John Calipari said of last year’s No. 18-rated player nationally by Rivals.com Now, UK is on the verge of adding Isaac Humphries, a 7-foot, 260-pounder from Australia who is on UK’s campus this weekend. Rivals.com’s No. 35-rated player in the Class of 2016 is thinking about moving from the Class of ’16 to ’15. UK is also bringing in the country’s top-rated player, Skal Labissiere, 6-11 from Haiti, and No. 10 Isaiah Briscoe, 6-3 from Roselle Catholic in Newark, New Jersey. l Aztecs player tears ACL: San Diego State’s basketball team, which plays host to KU on Dec. 22, will be without fourth-year junior Matt Shrigley, who recently tore the ACL in his right knee playing in a pick-up game. Long-range bomber Shrigley, who averaged 5.1 ppg last season, hitting 41 of 126 threes (.325) was expected to compete for a starting spot at shooting guard with Trey Kell (5.6 ppg). The Aztecs, who went 27-9 a year ago (161 at home), return senior forward Winston Shepard (team-leading 11.1 ppg). Also back are 6-10 soph Malik Pope (5.1 ppg) and 6-9 senior Angelo Chol (4.4 ppg).

Fleming and Ron Parker, who is capable of playing safety along with cornerback. Gaines, a former thirdround pick, got off to a slow start as a rookie. But he came on late in the season, then made perhaps the biggest strides of anyone in the Chiefs’ offseason program. Cooper has started 10 games over the past two seasons, but he struggled so much late last season that he was eventually benched. Fleming took over the job after bouncing through Arizona and Jacksonville, and played reasonably well. Parker is more adept at safety, but he has the kind of speed and athleticism that the

Chiefs wisely re-signed him in free agency. Then there are the rookies, the complete unknowns. Peters, once thought to be a top-10 talent, was chosen 18th overall out of Washington, even after he was kicked off his team for what amounted to insubordination last season. Peters insists that all his off-the-field trouble is in the past, and the Chiefs have been pleased by the way he has carried himself since arriving in Kansas City. “It’s a job that you have to do,” Peters said. “For me, it’s a sacrifice that I placed upon my family for me to come out here to do certain things to

provide for them in certain ways.” The other rookie with a shot at the starting job is Steven Nelson, a thirdround pick out of Oregon State — though he may be better suited to the nickel position. Both of them have some ground to make up. Washington and Oregon State are among the schools on a different academic schedule than most colleges, so the rookies had to return to finish their classwork after they were drafted. That means they missed out on much of the offseason program, though Peters and Nelson remained in touch, helping each other grasp the system. “We help each other out

whenever we can,” Nelson said, “just going over the playbook or anything. Whenever we have questions off the field we might go to each other since we’re right next door and talk to each other.” Smith, the Chiefs’ top cornerback, was suspended last week after pleading guilty to drunken driving. First-time offenders are usually given a two-game suspension from the NFL, but Smith was hit with an additional game because he crashed his car into a light pole. Reid said that Smith will still get repetitions in training camp, but it remains to be seen how the coach will split up snaps in preseason games.

TORONTO LEFT FIELDER BEN REVERE HAULS IN a fly ball hit by Kansas City’s Kendrys Morales. The Royals defeated the Blue Jays, 7-6, on Saturday in Toronto.

end it, stranding the tying run at third as Toronto fell to 11-23 in one-run games. Facing new Blue Jays reliever Mark Lowe, Zobrist turned around to the left side and tied it at 5 with a drive to right. Lorenzo Cain doubled and scored on Hosmer’s base hit, Morales singled Hosmer to third and Salvador Perez hit a sacrifice fly. Lowe (0-2) was charged with three runs after allowing just four in 34 prior appearances this season. “That’s not going to make or break his career in Toronto,” manager John Gibbons said of Lowe’s difficult debut. Jose Bautista hit two solo homers and Donaldson added a two-run drive, but Toronto’s winning streak ended at three. Bautista connected off Davis in the eighth, the first home run allowed by

the Royals reliever in 125 2/3 innings. Davis hadn’t allowed a homer since Washington’s Ian Desmond hit one off him on Aug. 24, 2013, Davis’ most recent start. “Wade is the best setup man in the game,” Yost said. “That’s not even arguable. He really does a great job of limiting the extra-base hits.” Edwin Encarnacion almost went back-toback with Bautista, but his drive to center was caught on the warning track. Toronto’s Mark Buehrle set down 15 of 16 following Zobrist’s one-out drive in the first. Ventura started even stronger, retiring the first 11 batters he faced. That streak ended when the Blue Jays strung together four straight singles in the fourth, including RBI hits by Justin Smoak and Dioner Navarro. Toronto made it 5-1 in the fifth on back-to-back home runs by Donaldson, a two-run drive into the second deck, and Bautista. It was the sixth time this season the Blue

Sister needs to learn to tolerate familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids Dear Annie: My sister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Helen,â&#x20AC;? and her first husband never had children. He died eight years ago. Helen has since remarried a wonderful man, a widower with two sons, a daughter and several grandchildren. He wants my sister to be a real grandmother to them. Helen is an extremely buttoned-up person. The daughter recently phoned to say she was coming over with her kids. Helen said the kids were out of control. One colored on newly painted walls, so she told her husband that they were not allowed to return. I realize that Helen has never dealt with children, but I think her banishment goes too far. Her husband once commented that he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Helen liked kids at all. He may

be right. This is the second time in three years that this thing about children has come up. I have tried to explain to Helen that her husband needs to spend time with his kids and grandkids, whether she likes it or not. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hurt my sister. My family accepts her, faults and all, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so easy for these grown children to do the same. Helen has asked me to meet her for din-

Sitcoms still in slump on NBC A tough year for sitcoms continues with this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cancellation of NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to Sweden.â&#x20AC;? A repeat of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hollywood Game Nightâ&#x20AC;? (7 p.m.) will air in its place. Last fall was brutal for comedies. NBC quickly canceled freshman efforts â&#x20AC;&#x153;A to Zâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad Judge,â&#x20AC;? and ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manhattan Love Storyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Selfieâ&#x20AC;? were also gone well before the first snowfall. Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mulaneyâ&#x20AC;? and CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The McCarthysâ&#x20AC;? were quick to get the ax, and deservedly so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome,â&#x20AC;? like the CBS failure â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Millers,â&#x20AC;? ranks among those sitcoms to barely hobble into its second season, only to discover that its once meager audience had evaporated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcomeâ&#x20AC;? was different in that much of its Swedish dialogue was subtitled for American viewers. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily translate into laughs, but it demonstrated NBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eagerness to try to reach new audiences. Some failed shows are more interesting than others. The network has not announced where or when unaired episodes of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcomeâ&#x20AC;? can be seen. O Dominic West (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Affair,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wireâ&#x20AC;?) narrates â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Day the Bomb Droppedâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., Smithsonian), recalling the atomic bombing of Hiroshima 70 years ago this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dayâ&#x20AC;? offers an hour-by-hour chronology of Aug. 6, 1945, from the point of view of the scientists who built the bomb, the flight crew of the Enola Gay that dropped â&#x20AC;&#x153;Little Boyâ&#x20AC;? and the citizens of Hiroshima. Among those interviewed is Theodore Van Kirk, the navigator of the Enola Gay who died last year. This is his last known interview about the fateful flight that ushered the world into the nuclear era.

ner to talk about the situation. I feel that I have already been quite plainspoken about it. What should I do now? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Loving Sister Dear Sister: Whether or not Helen likes kids is beside the point. She needs to tolerate them for her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake. Drawing on the walls is an issue of discipline, not banishment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to set rules, but kicking them out permanently is a sure way to earn the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; resentment and her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unhappiness. The likelihood of Helen becoming a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real grandmotherâ&#x20AC;? is slim. Instead, please suggest that she be unfailingly polite and kind, while encouraging her husband to visit the kids in their homes, spending plenty of time with them. He will be grateful, the kids will appreciate it, and she

he boisterous wailing, the twirly moustache, the science fictionthemed lyrics: they’re all key ingredients that have helped make the duo known as Drakkar Sauna a local music treasure over the last decade. They are unlike any band in Lawrence, playing almost strictly acoustically and utilizing instruments such as the harmophone. What really draws fans to this band, though, is their unique harmonizing. Wallace Cochran and Jeff Stolz crafted a unique sound by harmonizing at full throttle, loudly singing into each other’s ears as they huddled around a small army of stringed instruments and various percussion tools. “I think we just like to hear loud, loud singing in our ears,” Stolz says. “We’re the only two people willing to do that in each other’s faces.” But the band’s run is coming to an end this week at a farewell show at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center. Two days after the show, Cochran is getting on a plane and heading to his new home in Hawaii. So if you

Looking back at how the beloved band got its start before it says goodbye this week want to bask one final time in the glory of their unforgettable songs, this is it. They won’t be alone. An all-star lineup of local musicians will be joining them onstage, including Paul Schmidt from Midday Ramblers, Wayne Gottstine of Split Lip Rayfield, Evan Herd and Tanner Spreer of Psychic Heat, and more. A lot more. It looks to be like Lawrence will be sending off Drakkar Sauna in style. Spreer, a guitarist for Psychic Heat, got to know Cochran when they became co-workers at the Merc. “That was a big surprise, to find out that this person I was working with is a fairly talented person,” says Spreer. Drakkar Sauna quickly became one of his favorite bands. Spreer will be joined by his bandmate Herd as guest musicians for the farewell show. “I’m honored he would even consider Evan and I, and it feels really great to be playing with people I consider veterans of the Lawrence music scene,” he says. “It means a lot to me.” Please see DRAKKAR, page 3D

Nominations sought for 2015 Phoenix Awards The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission is now accepting nominations for the 2015 Phoenix Awards. The 20th annual awards aim to recognize outstanding artistic achievement in the Lawrence community. Nominations will be accepted in 10 categories: Arts Advocate, Arts Administrator, Arts Education, Design Arts, Literary Arts,

Musical Arts, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Volunteer in the Arts, and the Phoenix Award for Exceptional Artistic Achievement. From the nominees in all categories, five overall winners will be chosen. The categories themselves are just for organizing the nominations and don’t factor into the actual award; for instance,

multiple winners may be chosen from a single category, and some categories will not produce any winners. A previous winner can be nominated again, albeit in a different category from his or her first award. In addition, members of the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission may choose not to present all five awards.

This year’s Phoenix Award winners will be honored 2 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. The ceremony and following reception are both free and open to the public. Since the inception of the Phoenix Awards in 1996, more than 100 local artists — among them sculptors, photographers, dancers, musicians, educators,

writers, administrators and volunteers — have been recognized by their peers and fellow Lawrencians. Those interested in placing nominations for this year’s awards can find instructions at www.lawrenceks.org. The deadline to submit nominations is 4 p.m. Sept. 1. — Staff Reports

‘MISSION’ ACCEPTABLE ————————

‘Rogue Nation’ a successful blend of old-school suspense and modern day action

fter four “Mission: Impossible” films where superspy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has risked his life and sacrificed any chance of future happiness for his country while wiggling out of the most unlikely tight spots ever devised, how is it that the fifth installment, “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation,” is still able to pile on the suspense? We know, after all, that Hunt isn’t going to die, because otherwise Cruise’s most successful franchise is kaput. And the stakes have gone from being international to personal. Hunt already gave up the love of his life in earlier films for this most dangerous of careers. Outside of another nation-threatening dilemma (and who hasn’t seen a million of those recently in every superhero movie?), what else is there that writer/director Christopher McQuarrie can possibly do to Ethan Hunt that will make us worry for his safety? Well, for starters, he can release a teaser scene of Cruise holding on for dear life to the side of a moving airplane. It’s a shrewd move, because the 53-year-old actor is known for doing his own stunts, such as hanging from a cliff in “M:I 2” and climbing on the outside of the world’s tallest building in “Ghost Protocol.” But that airplane sequence only comprises the first five minutes of “Rogue Nation” (which, being a spoiler-phobic avoider of trailers, I find to be an astute move). No, McQuarrie (and Drew Pearce, who has a co-story credit) have more old-school thrills in mind, and they stem from a combination of Hunt’s justified paranoia and a battle of wits that’s so convoluted you’d think the men on both sides must be psychic. The man opposite Hunt is Lane (Sean Harris), the leader of an underground terrorist organization motivated by money called The Syndicate. It’s not the most original name in the world, but McQuarrie’s efficient script builds this “anti-IMF” up to be Hunt’s strategic equal, with the advantage of being untroubled by any sense of moral dilemma. It’s a very “Dark Knight” kind of dichotomy, with Hunt and Lane the Batman and Joker of the film: two sides of the same coin. Like the Joker, Lane seems to be two steps ahead of Hunt at every turn as he manipulates all situations to make sure Hunt does his bidding. One reason he continues to be strung along (despite recognizing it) is Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), an ex-British double agent whose loyalty is constantly in question, while her attraction to Hunt never is. Hunt sidekick Benji (Simon Pegg) is back for comic relief again, and he doesn’t disappoint, but Pegg excels at making his computer expert more human than the usual stereotype, and when he’s in danger, it’s palpable. Having debuted in the last film, Jeremy Renner is newer to the team, so his loyalty is also in question and McQuarrie gives him and Ilsa plenty

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com of scenes to keep the audience guessing. There’s also series newcomer Alec Baldwin, a perfect choice to make the most out of a small role as an antagonistic CIA director. Ving Rhames, the only other actor from the 1996 original besides Cruise to appear, is reliably, well, reliable. There’s no question he’s got Hunt’s back, which is probably why he has the least to do. Put simply, “Rogue Tom Cruise in “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” Nation” is an old-fashioned paranoid thriller wrapped up in the body of a 21st century action movie. There are plenty of ridiculous stunts, and they’re pulled off with the skill and grace we’ve come to expect, just as we’ve come to expect Hunt to walk away from a multiple end-over-end car flip virtually unscathed. But the set pieces are lush (one standout is an assassination attempt at an Italian opera) and the action seems mostly done in camera, without an over-reliance on CGI effects. With the will-theyor-won’t-they tension between Ferguson and Cruise, the densely plotted conflicts that rarely give you time to think too much about them and the fact that everyone on all sides has a reason to stop Hunt, “Rogue Nation” is a satisfying Hollywood actioner that keeps you guessing. Baldwin’s character at one point calls Ethan Hunt — the singleminded hero who makes miracles happen on an hourly basis — “the living manifestation of destiny.” It’s the only way to explain the supernatural combination of skill and luck that has carried Cruise’s iconic character through these films, and it’s the rare moment that the franchise winks to its audience. What this series has going for it otherwise, especially in the last three installments, is an ability to squeeze out suspense and surprise without going full-on parody. The events depicted are just as unlikely to happen in any modicum of real life as in the “Fast & Furious” films, but the tone isn’t as deadpan serious, soapy or corny. Dare I say “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” is kind of... classy? Yes, I think I do. “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” runs 131 minutes and is rated PG13 for sequences of action and violence, and brief partial nudity. — Eric Melin is the editorin-chief of Scene-Stealers.

AFTER A MEAL SHARED WITH A GROUP OF SOUTH KOREAN MEN, I wanted to capture the memory in a photograph. As I framed my photograph (above left), I witnessed solemn expressions instead of the smiling ones I had experienced during our meal. I quickly composed another photograph (above right) and this time said “1, 2, 3...kimchi!” That did the trick, bringing on the smiles and a much more appealing photograph that better represented our shared experience.

A talent for wailing Cochran and Stolz’s partnership began fondly. Stolz recalls passing through Columbia, Mo., where Cochran lived, in 2000 and meeting up with him for a bite to eat. In the blink of an eye, they hit it off. “We liked each other,” recalls Stolz, who was living in Pittsburgh, Penn., at the time. He then agreed to help Cochran work on a movie he was directing. A year later, Cochran came to Pittsburgh, and over a month they shot the movie that would later debut at Liberty Hall in 2004. When the two began working on the soundtrack to the film, they were quickly drawn to each other’s musical stylings. “He ended up moving here, so we could work on the soundtrack of the movie together. That’s when I discovered his talent for wailing the way that he does,” Stolz says. The band officially formed in 2003, but Drakkar Sauna’s folky sound didn’t happen at first. “Our first show, we played with electric in-

rom my years of experience as a photographer, I’ve learned that a person’s facial expression or body language can result in a photograph that either simply documents objective visual evidence of the person, or instead may capture a more expressive moment, transforming the scene into a memorable record of a life experience. Let’s face it: Some people just don’t like to face it — the camera, I mean. Many people will feel awkward and get stiff and self-conscious when

you point a camera at them, and the resulting photograph doesn’t capture the personality or emotion of the scene as you may have experienced it in the moment. Here’s a simple tip that works for me: Try to maintain a conversation with your subject. This distracts people from thinking solely about how they need to look for the photograph. While I’m figuring out an angle or location for the photograph or messing around with my exposure settings, I keep up a conversation and

ask questions of the subject. It often helps put the subject at ease and provides me the opportunity to pay attention to body language and expressions. I even continue talking as I start snapping a few initial shots. It is often during this conversation that a subject will momentarily provide a natural or honest expression. On my recent trip to South Korea, I was invited to join a group of South Korean men for lunch. We couldn’t visit because of the language barrier, but

we shared the food and smiled often. At the conclusion, when I pointed at my camera and stood up to snap a photo to document the scene, nobody smiled. Thinking fast, I aimed my camera again and loudly said “1,2,3… kimchi!” That did the trick, bringing on the smiles and revealing a much more appealing photograph that better represented our shared experience. — Chief Photographer Mike Yoder can be reached at 832-7141.

struments and it was horrible. We were absolutely terrible,” Stolz says. When they got booked for a second show, it was in a room at the Eldridge with acoustics that didn’t necessarily favor electric instruments. “It would have been absolutely ridiculous to use any amps, so we decided to play with acoustic guitars,” Stolz said. “I had my harmophone, so we decided to do a show like that with no amplification, and we loved that show. So we were like, Journal-World File Photos we need to do this — this Wallace Cochran and his book, is the way that it works. “The Moon for Its Citizens” So that’s what we did.”

From moon man to Third Man Over the course of the next 12 years, Drakkar Sauna would produce five full-length albums, play oddball venues (including a bus stop), and tour relentlessly. During that time, Cochran’s infatuation with space intensified. Many of the band’s lyrics deal with space exploration; and when they released “20009,” the album was accompanied by a book Cochran wrote about rockets called “The Moon for Its Citizens.” “He’s got this space obsession,” Stolz says. “He actually did a solo tour on his book and his

music.” Drakkar Sauna’s years together were also marked by some memorable moments, including playing with the legendary Charlie Louvin of the Louvin Brothers at a record store gig in Nashville. “The record store owner told us that Charlie would like to sing a couple of songs with us,” Stolz says. “I was absolutely terrified, and I said no, he can’t do that. But I came around to the idea.” That wasn’t the only notable Nashville moment the band experienced in the historic music community. They also recorded some music down at Jack White’s

Stolz and Cochran pictured in 2004 shortly after they officially formed Drakkar Sauna famed Third Man Records. “Wallace came home from the grocery store, and there was a message from him on his answering machine,” Stolz says. The band ended up spending the day at the studio with Jack White, who took turns with an engineer working on the album. Lawrence love

Despite all the fun the band ran into in Nashville, Lawrence was their home. “I just live in Lawrence, but I love Lawrence,” he says. Stolz works at the Replay Lounge and gets to see all the music to his heart’s content. “It’s been part of my existence since I’ve lived here,” Stolz said. “I’m working the bar here, I like to listen to music all

the time. Working at the Replay gives me insight as to what’s going on. It’s the cultural mecca of Lawrence.” But in just a few days, Cochran will be leaving that cultural mecca behind. So now, for the first time in 12 years, there will not be someone roaring into Stolz’s ear. He says he’ll miss “wailing at the top of my voice and hearing another note that is in harmony wailing in my left ear.” Stolz will stay active musically, because the driving force behind his work in Drakkar Sauna all those years is still prevalent today. “I need a creative outlet,” he concedes. “I like to sing, it’s therapeutic. I just enjoy playing music, really, and hanging out with people. It gives me something to work on. I don’t think there’s anything larger than that.” — Fally Afani is a freelance writer and editor of iheartlocalmusic.com.

Books ONE TOUGH COOKIE Lawrence Journal-World l LJWorld.com l Sunday, August 2, 2015

‘Oreo’ by Fran Ross was written decades before its time

here are a handful of books I have re-read several times because I found some deep, emotional connection with the characters, and each read is like a conversation with a dear old friend. (I have a dear new friend who revisits “To Kill a Mockingbird” every year for similar reasons and to see how his opinions on the text change over time.) Then there are books I have re-read because I just know that I didn’t catch everything the author was throwing down the first time. And I’m here to tell you, folks, that Fran Ross’s “Oreo” is the queen of those books. The heroine’s journey to find the “secret of her birth” had me laughing aloud and wrapping my brain around awesome word puzzles the entire time. Though originally published in 1974 (more on that later), “Oreo” was reprinted by New Directions in July of this year, and I was lucky enough to grab it right off our New Fiction shelves at the Lawrence Public Library recently. “Oreo” is so witty, so hilarious, so sharp, that I’m pretty sure it’ll take a dozen re-reads (and a lot of Googling) for me to catch everything. Through third-person narration — peppered with footnotes, asides, bulleted lists, and occasional charts — the author jokes in a combination of Yiddish, African-American Vernacular English, Français, standard English, mathematical equations, thick Southern accents and a weird language invented by a child. The complex style is completely appropriate for the protagonist: a smart, confident half-Jewish/half-black

SHELF LIFE

KATE GRAMLICH adolescent girl in Philadelphia named Christine, nicknamed “Oreo” (long story). As Oreo uses a bizarre list of hints from her estranged father to locate him in New York City, she encounters a ridiculous cast of characters and situations. Armed with an enviable vocabulary and her own personal brand of martial arts moves, Oreo delivers the occasional one-liner, “hed-blo,” and/or “but-kik,” as necessary. When Oreo was published in 1974, it received very little attention and fizzled quickly. In the introduction to this release, Danzy Senna states that the book “got a few amused and somewhat confused reviews in Ms. Magazine and Esquire but apparently didn’t speak to the wider cultural landscape of the moment.” Just two years later, Alex Haley’s novel “Roots: The Saga of an American Family” got extensive praise and became one of the most acclaimed novels of the decade. Both fantastic stories dealt with race, but in completely different ways. With the recent re-release, it seems Fran Ross may have simply been ahead of her

time. Featuring a sharp, selfassured biracial character who holds her own against a variety of obstacles without ever feeling like a victim, this novel may have been too groundbreaking even for the political climate of the 1970s. In fact, this book feels so relevant to American culture today, I had to continuously remind myself that “Oreo” was published a decade before I was born. I can’t wait to re-read “Oreo” (although there are a few holds on the library copy, so it may be a minute). I know I’ll catch more subtle references and jokes with

each time around. This book makes me feel both smart (for figuring out some things) and totally ignorant, but in a productive and motivating way. I only wish Fran Ross, who passed away in 1985, could be around to see her protagonist and writing get the recognition they deserve. — Kate Gramlich is a Readers’ Services Assistant at Lawrence Public Library and a member of LPL’s Book Squad.

BOOK REVIEW

Long-lost ‘What Pet Should I Get?’ is second-rate Seuss By Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune

There are moments of uproarious fun in Dr. Seuss’ never-beforepublished picture book, “What Pet Should I Get?” Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known for his more fantastical creatures — the Grinch, Things One and Two — proves himself just as capable of conjuring the ordinary house cat’s supreme self-satisfaction and the archetypal good dog’s sincere desire to be of service. He also throws in the inspired thing on a string, a flying fur ball that fairly zips off the page. That’s the good news. The bad news is that “What Pet Should I Get?”

is pretty much what you’d expect from a 50-yearold manuscript that Geisel himself never p ublished , and that languished for two decades after his death in 1991, until it was “rediscovered” in 2013 by Geisel’s wife, Audrey, and his former secretary, Claudia Prescott. This is an interesting draft, rather than a finished book, with all the bumps and blips and minor embarrassments that draft status implies.

I cringed a little when the great man rhymed pay and Kay on page 2, when plot and character had not yet hemmed him in and he had a world of words at his disposal. I found little magic in the lackluster creatures in the “Make up Your Mind” spreads; they felt like padding or place holders. This is Geisel at his second, third or maybe fourth best, which can still be quite good. There’s real tension as a little boy and girl, reminiscent of the

duo in “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish,” enter a pet store with a strict order from Dad: Come home with one and only one pet. How do you choose between a dog and a cat? A puppy and a kitten? A bunny and a bird? Just when the boy seems to be making progress, his sister takes off in the direction of the aquarium, crying “FISH!/ FISH!/ FISH!/ FISH!/ It may be a fish/ is the pet that we wish!” This being a Seuss book, the pets become gratifyingly more imaginative as the tale continues, and the cast of creatures is varied and engaging. I’m not sure that kids will care that the text can’t keep pace with the art, that the art lacks the punch of “One Fish” or

that the ending is oddly abrupt. Actually, I’m not sure that I care, either. A lesser author’s reputation might be hurt by a release of this kind, but at this point Seuss’ position in the pantheon of children’s authors is rock solid, and a spruced-up draft can be released as a gift to fans and friends, with no harm done. Kids who like animals will revel in this trip to the pet store, and the rest of us will get a powerful reminder that the spontaneity and freshness that Geisel achieved in his greatest works was hard-won, the result of many drafts and much agonizing. “You forget all about time,” Geisel wrote in his New York Times Book Review account of the creation of “The Cat

in the Hat,” in which he compared writing with a ridiculously small beginner vocabulary to making “apple stroodle without stroodles.” “You go to work with what you have! You take your limited, uninteresting ingredients (in my case 223 words) and day and night, month after month, you mix them up into thousands of different combinations. You make a batch. You taste it. Then you hurl it out the window. Until finally one night, when it is darkest just before dawn, a plausible stroodle-less stroodle begins to take shape before your eyes!” “What Pet Should I Get?” is no stroodle-less stroodle, but it’s an interesting footnote to an extraordinary career.

BOOK REVIEW

‘The Last Pilot’ deftly evokes America’s ramp-up to the space program

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

In “The Last Pilot,” debut novelist Benjamin Johncock evokes the years of America’s rampup to the space program so skillfully, a reader can almost feel the sandblasted landing strips. But he also probes the struggles of a couple who face the most painful crisis par-

ents could imagine. Deftly, Johncock threads fictional protagonists Jim Harrison, a top-notch test pilot, and his wife, Grace, through a milieu with many familiar historical characters, such as famed test pilot Chuck Yeager, legendary Happy Bottom Riding Club bar-and-restaurant owner Pancho Barnes and multiple Gemini astronauts, without awk-

ward traces of literary Photoshopping. The Harrisons’ tale begins at a time when pushing the envelope meant real daring: California’s Mojave Desert in the 1940s, where test pilots, including Yeager, strained the operational limits of their X-1s in attempts to break the sound barrier — with some observers fearing what calamity might befall them

on the other side of Mach One. They’re laconic men, bonding over their mastery of the skies, technical jargon and wind-down bottles of beers. Early on, Johncock reminds us of the dangers they faced. “Rick Bong augered in yesterday,” Jim tells Grace. That would be Richard Bong, the World War II ace from Wisconsin, who

died in 1945 while testing a jet fighter in California. Fear of a husband’s death haunts every test pilot’s wife. When a friend in advertising tells Grace how cutthroat her Madison Avenue agency is, she responds: “I asked her how many of those men would still go into a meeting if there was a one-in-four chance of them not making it out alive. We lost 62 men

over a 36-week stretch once. That’s nearly two a week. I had to buy another black dress; I couldn’t get the one I had clean and dried in time.” For an English writer born in 1978, many years after most of the realworld events reflected in this novel, Johncock shows a fine grasp of the times and place. He’s earned his “right stuff” merit badge.

world’s largest fine-scale miniature collection.

First Fridays This Friday is also the monthly First Fridays art walk in the Crossroads neighborhood. If you aren’t sure where to start, I recommend heading to the neighborhood relatively early (between 6 and 7 p.m.), parking somewhere in the vicinity of Southwest Boulevard and Main Street (or around 19th St. somewhere east of Grand) and hitting up some of the larger galleries like Leedy-Voulkos Art Center (2012 Baltimore Ave.), The Sharon Leedy Gallery (right next door), Kemper at the Crossroads (33 W. 19th St.) and the Belger Arts Center (2100 Walnut St.). You’ll find plenty of smaller galleries, food trucks, fire-breathers, etc. along the way.

he other night, I had a dream that I was in a giant exhibition hall hanging out with hundreds of people in costume as well as celebrities like Pam Grier (“Coffy,” “Foxy Brown”), Sean Astin (“Rudy,” “Lord of the Rings”), Butch Patrick (Eddie from “The Munsters”), “Nalini Krishnan,” (“Star Wars: Episode II”) and Billy Mitchell (“The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters”). Surrounding me were dozens of display booths and merch tables selling original artwork, comic books, costumes, lightsaber replicas, action figures and Magic: The Gathering cards. It was pretty overwhelming. If this sounds like an exciting scenario, you’ll be pleased to know that this was, in fact, no dream — it’s a description of what you’re likely to find at the first-ever Kansas City Comic Con scheduled for this weekend at Bartle Hall at 301 W. 13th St. in downtown Kansas City. In addition to vendors, artists’ booths and celebrity guests (only a few of whom are mentioned above), KCCC will include costume contests, gaming events, live art events, autograph signings and panel discussions ranging from “Cosplay 101” to a chat with the creators of “Star Wars” comics. The event takes place from 1 to 7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $60 for a weekend pass or $25 to $35 per day at Ticketmaster outlets or at the door. For a full schedule of events, visit kansascitycomiccon.com.
