A HEALTHY OUTLOOK

Cities struggle to balance needs with existing tax bases

LMH’s new CEO optimistic about hospital’s future

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

f the headlines coming out of Topeka are any indication, Kansas health care providers don’t have much to smile about these days. In May, Gov. Sam Brownback ordered cuts totaling $56.4 million to the state’s Medicaid program, reducing provider payments by 4 percent. On a local level, the cuts will cost Lawrence Memorial Hospital approximately $500,000 to $800,000 over the next fiscal year, according to estimates by the hospital’s chief financial officer. By his own admission, Russell Johnson “probably shouldn’t be” optimistic about the changing landscape — both nationally and statewide — of the health care industry, but Johnson, who on Monday began his first week as president and CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, is excited for the future. “I am by nature,” he said of his inherently hopeful mindset. “A couple of people have kind of thoughtfully patted me on the back and said, ‘Oh, Russ.’ But you know, I think that’s part of our responsibility in the health care arena — to keep seeing if we can be involved in advocacy for our patients and for our communities.” As a Colorado transplant, Johnson is new — or at least a bit rusty, considering he did spend his childhood in suburban Kansas City — to the

nuances of Kansas politics. Perhaps, he speculates, that’s why he remains so “hopeful” about it all. Sitting in his office Thursday afternoon, Johnson recounted his first week on the job, which, in addition to basics such as navigating the hospital halls and getting his printer hooked up, entailed a lot of listening — to hospital staff, LMH board members, community leaders and countless others. On that day, Johnson still had about 80 people left on his tomeet list. The prospect (LMH

currently employs some 1,500 staffers) didn’t seem to daunt him much. He’d get there, eventually. Johnson, 57, is replacing longtime LMH CEO Gene Meyer, who retired earlier this year after 19 years on the job. Johnson knows he has big shoes to fill — when Johnson was in his 20s, Meyer hired him and worked alongside him at the former Spelman Memorial Hospital, serving for five years as a mentor to the younger man.

City Commission to study Kasold reconstruction plans

Eudora City Manager Barack Matite expects a large crowd Monday at the Eudora City Commission meeting. The draw will be the public hearing on the city’s 2017 budget. Last month, the City Commission approved publication of a budget that will increase the city’s property tax levy to 41 mills. That’s a 7-mill increase from the current year. A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in a property’s assessed valuation. Commissioners can decrease expenditure levels written into the published budget on Monday, but they can’t increase them without republishing the budget. Matite said that although there might be a willingness among commissioners to defer some minor new spending recommendations, there was firm support for the biggest item in the hike — the 4 mills earmarked for a capital improvement fund. Eudora Mayor Tim Reazin said he hoped commissioners would approve the budget as published, noting that it was hammered out after listening to the needs of department heads. Those residents who made comments on the budget to him were understanding of the needs driving the tax increase, he said. The root cause of the 4-mill capital improvement fund proposal, Reazin said, lies in Eudora’s boom years in the 1990s and 2000s. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 1,228 of the city’s 2,466 housing units were built in those two decades. Unfortunately, the city’s infrastructure didn’t keep pace, the mayor said.

The Lawrence City Commission will take a closer look Tuesday at reconstruction plans for a portion of Kasold Drive that could reduce the number of lanes when the street is rebuilt next year. City staff members are recommending that the section of Kasold Drive that runs from Sixth Street and Bob Billings Parkway be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction,

down from the current configuration of two lanes in each direction. But some commissioners aren’t sure that reduction would be the right move for the long-term. “We build these things with a life expectancy of 50 years, and you know whatever decision we make is going to have a very, very long impact on this community, and we need to be careful of that,” Mayor Mike Amyx said.

Johnson’s “collaborative” leadership style is partly what scored him the job, Yulich said. “He’s strategic and he’s focused, but he’s also open to listening and taking it all in and coming around to a decision that’s mutually beneficial to all the stakeholders,” she added. The health care industry is venturing into unknown territory now, Yulich said, but with Johnson at the helm, she feels secure about LMH’s future. Thanks in part to Meyer’s management over the last two decades, the hospital is in good shape, said Johnson, who most recently served as senior vice president of network development and outreach at Centura Health in Englewood, Colo.

Regional Medical Center in Alamosa, Colo. After three years at Centura, Johnson said he wanted to regain a sense of community and a personal connection to those served by the hospital. “In the health care area,” he said, “a community hospital means something slightly different than a big academic medical center or a small, rural hospital.” And LMH, in his opinion, is a “really fantastic community hospital.” “It’s the employees’ connection and their sense of purpose and their commitment and loyalty,” Johnson said. “And that working here really matters because this is their home and this is their community, and they’re going to be taking care of friends and family.” Lawrence, he’s happy to say, is now his home, too. Johnson grew up in Merriam, and both he and his wife, Isabel, still have family in the Kansas City area. It’s been a joy, he said, to see his brothers and parents on a more frequent basis. In the coming months, Johnson plans to do more listening

— talking to medical staffers, reviewing data and hopefully pinpointing the areas in Douglas County’s population that might need special attention from a health standpoint. He wants health care in Lawrence to take on a more preventive approach. There are plenty of social efforts in the community working toward “a more fundamentally healthy” population, he said — Meals on Wheels, the Visiting Nurses Association and home care services, to name a few — but Johnson said he’d like to expand the hospital’s role in that mission. “How do we, as an organization, reach deeper into the community to be partners with people who are already doing a lot of work and help leverage that with them?” he asks. “Not try to take it over, not try to duplicate it, but bring the enormous expertise and resources that hospitals have into a more engaging fashion.” “And that,” he added, “is really exciting, I think.” — Reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388.

corner of Kasold Drive and Bob Billings Parkway should also be taken into consideration. “I think it’s going to have a tremendous impact on Kasold and Bob Billings, and I think that we need to remember all of that as we go through the decisionmaking process,” Amyx said. City Commissioner Lisa Larsen said she is currently undecided on which option she will support, but that input from the public, as well as the specifics and cost of each design, will be important factors to consider. “I haven’t decided on either one for sure yet until we get an opportunity to really take a look at the details of the design,” Larsen said. Both options include bike lanes, sidewalks and the potential installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Eighth Street and Kasold Drive, which is currently a three-way stop. The complete streets threelane option would allow for wider driving lanes, bicycle lanes and medians, as well as a buffer between traffic and bike lanes. The project has a design and construction budget of $5.35 million,

which will be funded with infrastructure sales tax funds. The threelane option would be about $1.16 million less than the five-lane option, according to the study. Amyx said while he respects the city staff’s recommendation of the three-lane over the traditional five-lane option, he’d like to hear more about what the city would have to do in order to provide a combination of both configurations. “The big thing for me is what would we have to do to retain the four lanes of traffic and to be able to incorporate the other things on the complete streets (design),” Amyx said. Commissions are expected to vote on the Kasold Drive reconstruction at an upcoming meeting, though a specific date has yet to be scheduled. Design planning for the project is scheduled for the fall and winter, with construction slated to begin in 2017. The City Commission will convene at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E.

The study compares a traditional five-lane option with a “complete streets” three-lane option, which is designed to be safer for pedestrians and cyclists. The traditional fivelane street option includes the installation of a traffic signal at the Harvard-Kasold intersection. It calls for two northbound lanes, two southbound lanes and a center turn lane. The complete streets three-lane option includes the installation of a single-lane roundabout at the HarvardKasold intersection. It calls for one northbound lane, one southbound lane and a center turn lane. A key factor in the reconstruction is the effect a reduction in lanes would have on future traffic flow. The study indicates that traffic on Kasold has remained relatively stable since 1992, and significant increases in the future are not projected. Currently, Kasold Drive sees about 14,700 vehicles per day, and projections for 2040 call for about 16,600 vehicles per day, according to the study.

Battleground races could determine fate of Brownback coalition By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

In the days since the Aug. 2 primary, Republican and Democratic party officials have been poring over maps and spreadsheets, trying to figure out where the major battlegrounds will be leading into the general election. For Democrats, the goal is to win enough seats so that, when combined with moderate-leaning Republicans, they can form a kind of working majority that can control future debates over issues such as tax and education policies. On the other side, Republicans who are part of the Brownback coalition are

trying to figure out what seats they need to defend in order to keep the solid majorities they’ve enjoyed for the last six years. And then there is a third set of races that many people are eyeing — those where Democrats are now running against the moderates who just emerged from the primaries, where Democrats may be more interested in building their own party rather than trying to form a coalition. “I think the Democrats are really serious about trying to build their own party,” said Kansas GOP executive director Clay Barker. Kerry Gooch, Barker’s counterpart in the Kansas

“

Even as a moderate Republican, who is your vote for leader going to be?” — Kansas Democratic Party Executive Director Kerry Gooch

Democratic Party, did not disagree with that statement. “I’m more interested for sure in building my own numbers than forming a coalition,” he said. “As executive director, it’s my job to elect Democrats, even if that means knocking off moderates.” Because, Gooch said, putting all legislation aside, the most politically important vote any legislator makes is the one at the very start of the session, when legislators vote to elect

a House speaker, Senate president and leadership teams who decide what the agenda will be and what bills will be allowed to come up for votes. “Even as a moderate Republican, who is your vote for leader going to be?” Gooch asked.

The basic numbers All of the strategies start with the basic math of the Kansas Legislature, where there are 125 seats in the House and

40 seats in the Senate. In the House, that means it takes 63 votes, a simple majority, to pass any measure, and 84 votes to form the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto or pass a constitutional amendment. In the Senate, those numbers are 21 and 27 respectively. Currently, Republicans hold 97 seats in the House and 32 in the Senate, far more than a veto-proof majority in both chambers. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, because for the last 20 years or so Kansas has effectively operated under a three-party system in which

Carvers share tips with kids at Eudora Heritage Festival Independent certified By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Retired teacher Joan Smith discovered she had talented hands when she found herself without enough to keep them busy. “When my granddaughter went to kindergarten for the first time, I didn’t know what I would do with all the time on my hands,” she said. The rural Eudora resident was introduced to woodcarving through a friend, who was a member of Kaw Valley Woodcarvers. She joined the club, and soon found that the hobby more than filled the idle hours. Smith said she has learned various techniques during the club’s monthly carve-ins. Works such as a relief carving of a wolf howling at the moon, a threedimensional rustic cabin and a patterned plate

The Kaw Valley Woodcarvers were one of a number of living history demonstration groups at the event. At their booth, they exhibited samples of their work and gave demonstrations in the craft to children. Club member Katrina Meredith, of Topeka, said the children weren’t in any danger of cutting themselves with sharp tools in the demonstrations because they were carving objects from soap. “It’s the same techniques we use with wood,” she said. “It gets them interested. We came with 60 bars of soap. We’re down to 20.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him on Twitter: @ElvynJ

ejones@ljworld.com

Voters of the 2nd Douglas County Commission District will have a decision to make in November, as the Douglas County Clerk Office’s found Friday that Jesse Brinson Jr. had secured enough valid signatures to be on the general election ballot as an independent. Brinson delivered his petition to the county clerk’s office on Monday, which Brinson was the deadline for independent candidates to submit petitions. The 35-year-old Brinson, a youth minister with Call to Greatness Ministries, will challenge incumbent Democrat

Nancy Thellman for the 2nd District County Commission seat. Thellman is seeking her third four-year term representing the district, which includes Baldwin City, Eudora and precincts in eastern Lawrence. No Republican filed for the seat. A first-time political candidate, Brinson said he got into the race after hearing people say they didn’t feel they were represented in the Douglas County Courthouse. “I understand how that can be frustrating and have often wondered if there was anything I could do to help people feel heard and make government

moderate Republicans and conservative Republicans virtually make up separate parties, with their own slates of candidates and their own policy agendas. Getting an exact count of how many “moderates” and “conservatives” there are in each chamber can be more of an art than a science. It varies, depending on the issue at hand and what the political circumstances are surrounding the issue at any given time. But by most counts, including Barker’s, the conservative wing of the party — what some call the “Brownback coalition” — controls 68 to 70 seats in the House and 27 to 29 seats in the Senate. That leaves moderate Republicans with 27 to 29 seats in the House and three to five in the Senate. Democrats hold only 28 seats in the House and eight in the Senate. So in order to move the balance of power in the Legislature, Democrats and moderate Republicans as a coalition need to win enough seats to pull the conservatives’ numbers below 63 in the House and 21 in the Senate. By Barker’s count, they already have. In a memo that has been widely circulated among Republicans and the media, he estimates that the proBrownback coalition lost 13 seats in the House, leaving them with only 55; and they lost nine seats in the Senate, leaving them with only 18. But at Democratic Party Headquarters, Gooch is less optimistic, and he thinks the coalition still needs to pick up more. “Four (more) in the Senate would be enough to start stopping, and maybe start passing some things,” he said. “I think in the House, it’s a bigger hill to climb. We need at least eight or nine more Democrats.”

It’s a reliably conservative district in the northeast corner of the state, but Henry comes from a l a r g e , w e l l k n o w n f a m i l y Henry and raised more than $20,000 during the primary c y c l e .

more accessible to the average person,” Brinson said via email. “I also want to see the continuation of our excellent county services, roads and facilities, such as the fairgrounds, (and for these to) be used to help attract new business to our county.” A big issue before the Douglas County Commission is the proposed expansion of the Douglas County Jail and the construction of a mental health crisis intervention center. The current County Commission is committed to linking the two projects in any bond referendum it puts before voters to finance their construction. The commission’s goal is to do

that in the spring of 2017. Brinson said he would rather focus on people than brick-and-mortar projects. Public-private partnerships could more efficiently solve the problems driving the expansion, he said. “The county is looking to spend about $30 million to expand the jail and another $8 to $10 million to build a mental health facility,” he said. “There are proven programs that will allow us to put that money to use in people’s lives rather than in public monuments.” There is a need for a mental health crisis intervention center, but Brinson said there were existing buildings that could be converted for that purpose for less cost than new construction. “Let’s try providing the service first, before we make the decision to

The district has leaned Republican in recent statewide and federal elections, but not by as much as the state as a whole. LaTurner raised only about $2,000 during the primary cycle, although he had more than $100,000 in the bank to start with. Grant has raised more than $20,000 since the first of the year. 25th Senate District: This district leaned toward moderates for several years until 2012, when Michael O’Donnell won the GOP primary against incumbent Sen. Jean Schodorf as part of the Kansas Chamberbacked conservative takeover of the Senate. In the 2012 gubernatorial race, Davis carried the district by nearly 10 percentage points over Brownback, and President Barack Obama lost it by only a fraction of a percentage point in 2012. O’Donnell chose not to run for a second term, opting instead to run for the Sedgwick County Commission. Democrat Lynn Rogers, a member of the Wichita school board the last 15 years, is now seeking the seat. He faces Republican Jim Price who, according to the Wichita Eagle, has two criminal convictions on his record. Rogers raised nearly $48,000 during the primary cycle, while Price raised only $500. 28th Senate District: Democrat Keith Humphrey, president and CEO of Jet AirWerks and Jet AirParts in Wichita, is challenging Sen. Mike Petersen, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Two years ago, Davis carried the district over Brownback. Humphrey raised more than $46,000 in the primary, compared with less than $15,000 for Petersen. 32nd Senate District: Democrat Don Shimkus, past president of the Kansas Association of School Boards, filed to run against Sen. Steve Abrams, R-Arkansas City, a conservative who chairs the Senate Education Committee. But late in the filing season, Abrams abruptly announced he would not run again, and Larry Alley of Winfield filed to take his place. Alley has run three unsuccessful campaigns for the Kansas House, narrowly losing two years ago to Rep. Ed Trimmer, D-Winfield.

l Currently, what some call the “Brownback coalition” controls 68 to 70 seats in the Kansas House and 27 to 29 seats in the Senate. l In order to move the balance of power in the Legislature, Democrats and moderate Republicans as a coalition need to win enough seats to pull the conservatives’ numbers below 63 in the House and 21 in the Senate.

There are also two races where Democrats are targeting moderate Republicans who just won competitive primaries. Those include the 21st District, where Republican Dinah Sykes, who just defeated incumbent Sen. Greg Smith, of Overland Park, faces a strong challenge from Johnson County businessman Logan Heley, who raised more than $54,000 in the primary campaign, the fourthhighest fundraising total of any legislative candidate this year. Sykes raised a considerable amount herself, more than $37,000, but spent much of it winning her primary over Smith.

88th House District: Rep. Joe Scapa, R-Wichita, is seen by both parties as the most vulnerable incumbent in the House. He was first elected in 2010, then lost his seat to a Democrat in 2012, only to win it back in Scapa 2014. That was considered odd because the district went strongly for Davis in the gubernatorial race that year, and President Barack Obama narrowly carried it in the 2012 presidential race. He’s being challenged this year by Democrat Elizabeth Bishop who has worked in city and county government for several years and, for a time, was an aide to former Democratic Congressman Dan Glickman.

Man documents Fort Larned historic site restoration of nine buildings. In 1983, for example, the barracks were restored. This also required the construction of bunk beds like the ones soldiers slept in at the fort. The Volunteers in Parks program made it possible to finish the work. Young men from the Youth Center At Larned helped with the work. Building by building, the work continued. “We overhauled it to make it look new again,” Yeager said. “There’s a lot of work that went into those buildings.” They constructed new window frames to replace those with rotten wood, put up walls that had been moved, installed flooring and restored the roof

By Susan Thacker Great Bend Tribune

Larned (ap) — When visitors step onto the grounds of the Fort Larned National Historic State today, they see it as it appeared in the 1860s during the Indian Wars. Mildon Yeager — a retired carpenter who worked at the site for 20 years — also sees years of restoration that took place in the 20th century, and continues to this day. The Great Bend Tribune reports that Yeager has compiled a notebook filled with photos from his time at the fort, from 1972 to 1992. It represents the work of many park employees and volunteers. In 1883, Fort Larned military reservation was transferred from the War Department to the General Land Office, U.S. Department of the Interior. After the fort closed, the buildings and land were sold at public auction in 1884, and over the next 80 years the property remained privately owned. Some of the changes were dramatic, including changing a roof line by adding a hayloft to one building.

THIS UNDATED PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS MILDON YEAGER with his collection of photos showing the restoration of Fort Larned. When visitors step onto the grounds of the Fort Larned National Historic State today, they see it as it appeared in the 1860s. Even before Fort Larned became a national historic site and part of the National Park System in 1964, there was local interest in preserving its history. Park Superintendent George Elmore said the Pawnee County Historical Society — later

renamed the Fort Larned Historical Society — opened a gift shop in the barracks in the 1950s. The buildings then appeared has they had since the property’s farming era of 1921, Elmore said. Larned resident Yeager, 89, was just one of

many park employees and volunteers involved in the later restoration of the buildings. “We put Fort Larned back together again,” he said. For years, he took photographs before, during and after the restoration

Union leaders criticize KC police chief over comments on shootings by officers Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Kansas City’s police chief has taken some criticism from area police union leaders for his recent comments about shootings of black men by officers. “There is an issue with too many African-American men being killed by police officers,” Chief Darryl Forte told The Kansas City Star on Wednesday. “And part of it, in my opinion, is unreasonable fear.” Two union leaders took issue with the comments, which came in an interview in which Forte also discussed his experiences as a black police chief in America. Kansas City, Kan., police

which had been raised by its farmer owners to its original lines. These were not always ordinary carpentry projects. An article from a 1984 edition of The Larned Tiller & Toiler notes that park employees found a sketch showing how a porch was originally put together. They found they had done it differently and had to start over. The restoration continues to this day. Elmore said the next building project will be the interior restoration of the Commanding Officer’s Quarters. Meanwhile, exhibits that are 40 years old are being updated in a project that is expected to continue through 2017.

union leader Scott Kirkpatrick, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 4, responded in an open letter posted online Wednesday. Kirkpatrick pointed to the recent deaths in the line of duty of Kansas City, Kan., police Det. Brad Lancaster, who was shot and killed in May, and police Capt. Robert Melton, who was shot and killed last month. “To suggest that an officer’s fear at any time is per se unreasonable without knowing the facts represents a monumental misunderstanding of the job we are doing out of the streets in the current climate,” Kirkpatrick wrote.

“The fear is real. People are out to harm us. And now your comments will only make things worse.” Also on Wednesday, Kansas City police union leader Brad Lemon, who is president of FOP Lodge #99, issued a statement extending his criticism to other statements Forte has made in public meetings about police use of force. Forte stood by his comments as he responded to the criticism. He wrote in a blog post that the remarks in question could best be understood in the context of the whole interview, which included a wide-ranging discussion of policing issues. “I do respect others’

opinions, and I apologize if anyone was offended by my comments about police-involved shootings of black males,” Forte said. “I said some of those incidents were the result of unreasonable fear and poor training on behalf of the police. I was in no way referencing any particular incident or any particular department.”

Rezoning request to be considered

BEFORE 1979

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

BACKGROUND The city commission will consider a request to rezone approximately 2.11 acres to allow a restoration business to operate in west Lawrence. The rezoning would allow for Lawrence-based Rainbow International of NE Kansas to build a new office and shop building on a vacant lot in the 1300 block of

Research Park Drive. Rainbow is a company that specializes in restoring properties that have been damaged by water, fire, mold or other such hazards. Currently, the business has space along Wakarusa Drive, but the new property would allow for expansion. A planning commission staff report states that the

planning director determined that a restoration business is classified as a Construction Sales and Service use. If approved Tuesday, the property on Research Park Drive would be rezoned from industrial business park use to light industrial zoning category, which would allow Rainbow to have a shop component.

Record success KU’s impressive fundraising effort is a testament to the leadership of Bernadette Gray-Little and the devotion of KU alumni

he leadership at the University of Kansas is to be commended for its record-breaking fundraising campaign. The KU Endowment Association reported it has raised $1.66 billion during the five-year campaign that ended June 30. The total for “Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas” is the largest higher education fundraising effort in the state’s history. “The success of Far Above is a testament to the confidence our alumni and friends have in KU,” Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said. “Every gift sent a message that our donors want to elevate KU to greater heights.” The success of the campaign also is a testament to Gray-Little herself, who came on board in 2009 just as plans for the campaign were Perhaps most being launched.

In an era of declining state funding and increasing tuition, such financial assistance is critically important. The funds also will help pay for 16 new buildings or major renovations on campus, and fund 53 new professorships. Among the new buildings and renovations on the Lawrence campus funded in part by the campaign were Capitol Federal Hall; the Forum at Marvin Hall; the Lied Center Pavilion; renovations to the Spencer Museum of Art and Swarthout Recital Hall; and the KU Clinical Research Center. Funds also went toward the Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion and the Cambridge North Tower at KU Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Perhaps most impressive about the fundraising campaign is the depth of the participation. Since the campaign kicked off in April 2012, more than 131,000 donors have contributed. Nearly half of those were new donors. Eighty-seven percent of the gifts were for $500 or less, and just over half of the donations came from Kansas residents. But people from all 50 states and 59 countries made donations, KU Endowment said. “Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas” has helped enhance the stature of KU as the state’s flagship university and raised the university’s profile nationally. Everyone involved — administrators, donors, alumni and the Endowment — are to be congratulated for the campaign’s success.

How I got in trouble with ladies Let me tell you how I got in trouble with ladies. No, not “the” ladies. Not, in fact, female human beings, period. Rather, I’m talking about the word itself, “ladies.” Years ago, my editor was a female human being named Emily to whom I filed a piece that used the L-word as a synonym for women. Em hit the roof. It took me awhile to understand why. For me, “ladies” connoted nothing more sinister than genteel women, the feminine counterpoint to “gentlemen.” Used in conjunction with that word, I suspect it wouldn’t have bothered Emily. But used on its own it had, for her, a whiff of paternalistic condescension, i.e., “You ladies ought not trouble your pretty little heads with politics.” I made the change. I’ve always considered that moment a master class in sexist language and how the words we choose can say things beyond what we (consciously) intend. But I never thought I’d take a refresher course. That’s what the last couple weeks have amounted to, however. Em is long gone, but a number of female (and male) human readers have gladly taken on her role. My first sin, as

“

But for all the (sometimes justified) criticism it receives, so-called political correctness has at heart an important goal: language that is more inclusive, respectful and reflective of marginalized lives. And who is more marginalized than women?” they saw it, was a column on the GOP convention in which I wrote that the only thing standing between us and the apocalypse that is Donald Trump is “a grandmother in pantsuits.” It was intended as a light joke about how thin is the membrane separating us from disaster. It was read, at least by some women, as diminution of an accomplished woman. I’ve gone

over it a dozen times in my head and, while I appreciate my critics’ sensitivities, I think they’re misplaced. It was, again, a joke, i.e., not meant as a serious assessment of Clinton. Were it Barack Obama running against Trump, I’d have said the only thing between us and disaster was a jug-eared guy in dad jeans. My other sin, though, was inarguable and egregious. I called Clinton “shrill.” This was in a live tweet as she was speaking at the Democratic convention: “I’ve often found Hillary’s delivery shrill, stiff and robotic,” I wrote. “She’s doing much better tonight.” And … cue the outrage chorus. Let “JP” speak for all of them. “Have you been hacked? I’m surprised to see you use ‘shrill.’ It’s a dog whistle.” Clinton has a habit of raising her voice to convey emotion, but shouting is not one of her oratorical gifts; note how Michelle Obama intensifies her voice without raising it to achieve the same effect. That’s what I intended to say. What I did instead was echo language by which men have denigrated women and their ideas since forever. JP was right. I was wrong. There are those, I know,

who will see this nattering about nuances of language as evidence of “political correctness” run amok. They will use the term as Trump sympathizers usually do, to mean they are sick of not being able to insult blacks, Muslims, women and homosexuals as freely as they once did. But for all the (sometimes justified) criticism it receives, so-called political correctness has at heart an important goal: language that is more inclusive, respectful and reflective of marginalized lives. And who is more marginalized than women? As a feminist, I was at first appalled to find myself guilty of sexist language. Now I’m amused. I suspect the three months till November and the (please, God!) four to eight years of a Clinton presidency are going to provide numerous refresher courses for men like me, men perhaps a little too sanguine, a little too smugly assured of their own enlightenment. Language is about to become a minefield for us. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. How else will we learn? — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Justice shows poor judgment in comments Any doubt that the Supreme Court has become a political, ideologically driven institution was dispelled by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s recent comments about Donald Trump. “I can’t imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president,” said Ginsburg. She called Trump “a faker” and implied that a Trump presidency might tempt her to “move to New Zealand.” No matter how horrible the prospect of a Trump presidency may be, this sort of political pronouncement by a judge is almost universally condemned. Judges are supposed to stand outside and above the political arena and at least appear to be ideologically unbiased. Ginsburg’s comments torpedoed those suppositions. “We wonder if the 83-yearold Justice can still perform her duties on the Supreme Court,” wrote The Wall Street Journal. “Her fellow justices need to stage an intervention and suggest that she make way for someone who knows how a judge is supposed to behave … She is hurting the reputation of the Court and setting a terrible example for other judges.”

George Gurley

“

Judges are supposed to stand outside and above the political arena and at least appear to be ideologically unbiased.”

Even the New York Times agreed. “Donald Trump is Right About Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” was the headline in the Times’ editorial, which went on to say that it is “vital that the court remain outside the presidential process … Just imagine if this were 2000 and the resolution of the election depended on a Supreme Court Decision. Could anyone now argue with a straight face that Justice Ginsburg’s only guide would be the law?” Other comments by

Ginsburg indicated that she has “prejudged” issues pertaining to gun control and freedom of speech, effectively disqualifying her from participation in First and Second Amendment cases. Ginsburg did apologize and promised to be “more circumspect.” Like all our institutions, the Supreme Court’s reputation has declined in recent years. A common complaint is that the court legislates as much as it judges. Some blame the “cultural wars” on Roe v. Wade when the court intervened by judicial fiat in the contentious issue of abortion rather than allowing a democratic consensus to evolve. The justification of the decision on the basis of a “penumbra” in the Constitution contributed to the impression that the justices operate like shamans puzzling out meanings from a throw of oracle bones. Ever since the partisan attack on Robert Bork, candidates for the Supreme Court have been exposed to ideological “litmus tests” and been evaluated more for political bias than judicial integrity. The tortuous logic

that justified the Affordable Care Act contributed to the impression that decisions are made whimsically according to what some justices believe is “right” rather than faithful interpretation of the Constitution. As the Supreme Court becomes more aggressive as an arbiter of society’s values, its politicization becomes more worrisome. These days, cases are almost always decided along rigid ideological lines, four conservative judges versus four liberals, with one swing vote. Given this corruption of the court, does it make sense to entrust so much of the country’s destiny to nine individuals, most of whom are graduates of Yale or Harvard law schools? Is it wise to give a one- or twoterm president the extraordinary power to appoint justices “for life?” If people lose faith in the integrity of the Supreme Court, they may grow cynical about the law itself. These are some of the questions that arise when a Justice like Ruth Bader Ginsburg exhibits such a lack of judgment. — George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

To make matters worse, sometimes corners were cut to accommodate growth, resulting in such things as smaller water or sewer lines supplying larger ones in new neighborhoods. There are numerous long-identified needs, including upgrades to 10th and 12th streets, trail projects at Bluejacket Park and elsewhere, sewer lift stations and those unseen improvements needed under the ground, Matite said. Eudora taxpayers reading stories about Lawrence budget debates might get the wrong impression of what a 4-mill tax increase means for Eudora, Reazin said. Each mill of property tax levied in Lawrence brings in about $800,000 for the city, but each mill levied in Eudora only raises $40,000. The $160,000 that would be collected next year with a 4-mill increase wouldn’t allow the city to immediately take on the expensive projects needed, Reazin and Matite said. Rather, they said, the fund would be allowed to grow over a number of years. That would provide some upfront capital for bonded improvements, and would also give the city the means to leverage state and federal grants for use on projects. In the meantime, the city could start laying the groundwork for those projects with planning and design, Matite said. The city’s tax increase is but one component of 2017 budget decisions that could have Eudora taxpayers looking at a doubledigit mill levy increase. This Thursday, the Douglas County Commission will consider its 2017 budget, which includes a proposed increase of nearly 3 mills, to a total of 44.098 mills. And the Eudora Township’s published budget shows the levy supporting the Eudora Library increasing from 3.881 to 4.260. The final large piece of the community’s overall mill levy will be determined when the Eudora school board meets Monday to approve its 2016-2017 budget for publication. Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal said district taxpayers did receive a break last month when the Kansas Legislature responded to a Kansas Supreme Court decision by passing a new school funding formula that increased the state

PROPERTY TAXES WILL BE A HOT CONVERSATION TOPIC at the city halls of Baldwin City (left) and Eudora in the coming weeks. Proposed budgets for both cities include mill levy increases.

equalization payment for the district’s local option budget. The district is still crunching numbers on its bond and interest budget, but Splichal said it looks as if the district will dial back its mill levy a bit from the 73.275 rate of the 2015-2016 school year. lll

The 41-mill levy in the proposed Eudora 2017 budget may raise eyebrows in that community, but it is still lower than that of Baldwin City. Last week, the Baldwin City Council approved its 2017 budget, which established the mill levy at 43.804 — a 1.5 mill increase from the current year. It follows increases of 4.671 mills in 2015 and 3.6 mills in 2014. Baldwin City taxpayers will see about a 1-mill decrease in the Baldwin school district’s assessment. Should the county and school board approve their budgets as published, the overall 2017 property tax levy within the city will be 152.576 mills, about 3.5 mills more than the current year. Baldwin City Councilman Tony Brown said the city’s stagnant overall assessed valuation was a big factor in the 2014 and 2015 mill levy increases. “Property values have been flat the past five years, or at least haven’t rebounded from the

recession,” he said. “The city’s costs for salaries, insurance and other operational expenses continue to increase.” lll

For Kansas cities similar to Baldwin City and Eudora in size, mill levies in the 40s are not uncommon. According to the Kansas Department of Revenue, cities with populations between 4,000 and 6,500 with 2015 property tax levies of 40 mills or more include Baxter Springs (49.569), Clay Center (63.106), Goodland (49.715), Iola (42.899), Larned (61.299), Osawatomie, (64.280), Paola (43.602) and Tonganoxie (44.179). What separates Baldwin City and Eudora from most of the cities on that list and makes mill levy increases sting more is the value of homes in the two Douglas County communities. According to the U.S. Census Bureau figures from 2014, the median owner-occupied home value was $158,900 in Baldwin City and $140,700 in Eudora. Other than the two Kansas City metropolitan area commuter communities of Paola ($119,300) and Tonganoxie ($142,400), the cities listed above have median owner-occupied home values between $68,000 and $88,000.

Topeka (ap) — The Kansas National Guard has a new general in charge of its troops. In a ceremony Saturday in Topeka, Brig. Gen. Robert Windham handed command of the Kansas National Guard forces to Brig. Gen. Anthony Mohatt. Mohatt now reports to Adjutant General Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, the top uniformed officer for National Guard forces in the state. As assistant adjutant general, Mohatt has responsibility for 5,000 men and women in uniform. Windham is set to retire in two months. The Topeka CapitalJournal reports Mohatt graduated in 1990 from the Kansas Military Academy. He served in the Iraq War and held command positions in the 35th Infantry Division, 69th Troop Command, 2nd Combined Arms Battalion and 137th Infantry Regiment, among others.

To prevent ever-greater reliance on residential properties, Baldwin City needs to grow its tax base by encouraging growth of existing businesses and recruiting new ones, Brown said. But with its business park full, Brown said, the city is at a competitive disadvantage in recruiting new businesses. “We’re not positioned well at all to do that,” he said. “It’s a competitive environment. When companies look to expand, they are looking for somewhere they can start building now, not six or 10 months down the road.

It was to remove the ownership issue that the city purchased the old Nottingham Elementary School property and adjacent Laws Field, Reazin said. The city entered into a pre-development agreement in May with CBC Real Estate Group LLC. The Kansas City, Mo., developer is now actively recruiting tenants for the property, he said. If successfully developed, the Nottingham property could help the city capture sales tax revenue that now travels with its commuter residents to Lawrence and Johnson County, Reazin said.

CONVENTION ‘BOUNCE’ GOING FLAT Some nominating events have yielded big poll gains, but phenomenon isn’t what it was Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

American soldier killed in Iraq grew out of a convention speech but began only after the convention ended. That controversy and the growing concerns about the direction of his campaign are likely the main reasons Hillary Clinton has widened her lead in national and swing state polls in recent days.

Although there have been some epics — Bill Clinton picked up about 15 percentage points after the Democratic convention in 1992 and never looked back — the Gallup Organization says bounces have averaged less than 4 points since 1996. “That’s why they call it a bounce, not a surge,’’ says Lee Mi-

USA Gymnastics touts a list of coaches it has banned as a key safeguard to warn gym owners and parents about dangers, including sexual predators. And to protect young gymnasts. But an Indianapolis Star investigation has uncovered one example after another of coaches who were not only suspected of abuse but actually convicted of molesting children, yet they did not show up on the banned coaches list for years — even decades — after that conviction. Vincent Pozzuoli was one of those coaches. Pozzuoli, who coached in Connecticut, was arrested in 1994 and later convicted of battery for groping an 11-year-old boy at a gymnastics camp in Maine. But he kept on coaching. In 2011, he was convicted again of groping another young gymnast. This time, Pozzuoli was added to a list — Connecticut’s sex offender registry. He would not, however, be added to USA Gymnastics’ banned coaches list until earlier this year — or 20 years after his first conviction.

Joy and sadness in Rio favela during Olympics opening Pride mixes with fear of crises that remain Josh Peter

USA TODAY Sports

Some people are afraid to enter this city’s notorious favelas, low-income neighborhoods where drug-related violence creates fear. But on Friday night, $1.50 and a little faith could get you a ride on the back of a motorcycle to the top of the Mangueira favela — and, more important, access to some of the most spectacular views RIO DE JANIERO

during the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics. Hundreds of locals and more than a few visitors watched from the steep, hillside roads as fireworks intermittently exploded atop Maracana Stadium, less than a mile from Mangueira, where some homeowners charged more than $300 for rooftop access. Surrounded by neighborhood children, Mario Renato Xavier Damasceno, 58, wrestled with conflicting emotions as Brazil prepared to host the first Olympics staged in South America. “We feel that it’s both a joy and a reason for sadness,” he

said. “Because when this is over, the same sadness is going to keep going on.” The country’s president is facing impeachment. The economy is in crisis. And that crisis, Damasceno said, led to him losing his job as a driver. Moreover, he said, the people in communities like Mangueira lack access to public hospitals and schools — issues he predicted would be unresolved. “When this party is done, then you’re going to have politicians fighting once again,” he said. Watching the fireworks from nearby, Rosangela Rodrigues Carvalho said she once felt a sim-

So why not come here to pay homage and participate in this marvelous event that’s happening?” Eleonora de Freitas, 26, a mother of two, asked a different question: “What’s it going to be like tomorrow? Today everything’s pretty, but what about tomorrow? “It’s complicated because at the same time we’re happy to have this pretty event in our country. … I feel sad for all of the terrible things that are still happening.”

The week after the conventions hardly brought a pause to the 2016 presidential race, as concerns mounted about Donald Trump’s campaign among Republicans. Top news from the world of politics:

ANDREW HARNIK, AP

Hillary Clinton in Colorado

CLINTON: SWING STATE EDGE Things have not gone well for Donald Trump since the conventions ended. His feud with the Khans after their appearance at the Democratic gathering in Philadelphia drew condemnation from members of both parties who blasted the real-estate mogul for going after a Gold Star family. Meanwhile, many prominent Republicans were stunned Tuesday when the GOP presidential nominee declined to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan in a primary race, though on Friday he changed course and said he backed the speaker, as well as Arizona Sen. John McCain, whom he’d also initially declined to endorse in a primary race. Trump’s poll numbers, including in battleground states, have taken a hit. A Suffolk University Poll out Thursday showed Clinton leading Trump in Florida, 48%-42%, in a two-way match-up, an uptick for the Democratic presidential nominee from other recent surveys in the state averaged by RealClearPolitics that showed a tie race. Meanwhile, a Franklin & Marshall poll also out last week showed Clinton with an 11-point lead over Trump in the key state of Pennsylvania among likely voters. SANDERS: OUR REVOLUTION Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders fell short in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but he’s not giving up on a “political revolution.” Sanders began fundraising Wednesday for Our Revolution, a new organization aimed, in part, at backing “the next generation of progressive leaders” for public office. “Our goal will be the same as in our campaign: we must work to transform American society by making our political and economic systems work for all of us, not just the 1 percent,” Sanders wrote in a fundraising message.

Political ‘bounce’ idea ‘overrated’

ALLISON FARRAND, AP

Tim Kaine

FIRST IMPRESSIONS If Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton were hoping to pick running mates who wouldn’t overshadow the top of the ticket, it looks as if they succeeded. Fewer than four in 10 registered voters described Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, and Clinton’s No. 2, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, as “excellent” or “pretty good” additions to their party’s ticket, according to Gallup polling. The surveys on each were taken shortly after each was chosen. To be fair to Pence and Kaine, most Americans didn’t know enough about either to have a strong first impression. Roughly six in 10 registered voters reported that they’d “never heard of” or had “no opinion” of the two running mates. The vice presidential debate, by the way, is scheduled for Oct. 4 at Longwood University in Farmville, Va. Contributing: Susan Page, Nicole Gaudiano and Maureen Groppe

points in the period from 1964 to 1980 and 6.2 points in the 198496 era. “The era of the big bounce is over,’’ says pollster John Zogby. Analysts say that’s partly because a bounce is contingent on variables besides the convention, including: uThe timing. If the conventions occur back to back, as they have for the past few cycles, it’s harder for either candidate — especially the one whose party convenes first — to get a bounce, because messages overlap and step on each other. If the conventions occur relatively early in the season, as they did this summer, it may be easier to get a bounce because fewer voters have already made up their minds. But the trend is toward later conventions — in August or early September. uThe candidates. Trump and Clinton are among the bestknown non-incumbents ever to seek the presidency. If a bounce comes from introducing voters to the candidates, these introductions have already been made. Similarly, a nominee such as the GOP’s Mitt Romney in 2012 was a known national commodity before his Tampa convention. Contrast that with the 1988 Democratic convention, when a whopping 56% of registered voters said they were more likely to back Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis, a newcomer to the national stage with a good state government story to tell. uThe campaign. The concept of the bounce is based on the nation taking the better part of a week to focus on a convention. But this year’s Perils of Pauline campaign has intruded with stories such as the FBI report on Clinton and the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails. It has made even this year’s eventful conventions seem more like the scripted affairs of

sports national governing bodies, said USA Gymnastics’ banned list is “abysmal.” “It provides no useful information to parents,” he said, “and should not be relied upon on deciding whether or not a coach is safe, because it doesn’t tell you why the people are banned, principally.” In a “Safe Sport timeline” published by the organization, USA Gymnastics touts being the first national governing body in Olympic sports to implement a list of coaches and others permanently ineligible for membership. Leslie King, vice president of communications for USA Gymnastics, said the banned list was started in 1990 and “has proven effective on a global level.” She said the organization typically waits until criminal cases run their course before banning a coach. She did acknowledge, however, that “there have been times when it took longer than expected or desired to resolve matters.” The shortcomings with USA Gymnastics’ banned list represent just one of several gaps IndyStar found in the national governing body’s efforts to protect gymnasts, many of whom are children. Others include: uUSA Gymnastics requires criminal background checks only on “professional” and “instructor” members — mainly coaches at competitive and non-competitive levels — instead of all personnel at member gyms. uIt does not publicize when a coach’s membership is suspended due to an investigation into sexual improprieties. uUSA Gymnastics has failed to alert authorities to many allegations of sex abuse by coaches. That last gap was revealed in an IndyStar investigation published Thursday that found USA Gymnastics has adhered to a policy of dismissing an abuse claim unless it came from a victim or the victim’s parent. IndyStar found multiple examples where the organization was tipped off about a coach’s disturbing behavior, did not report it to authorities and the coach went on to molest young gymnasts. The investigation also revealed the existence of secret complaint files kept by USA Gymnastics that contain allegations against more

than 50 coaches. In addition to the Pozzuoli case, IndyStar found 18 other cases in which coaches were not added to the banned list printed in its two publications until more than a year after their criminal convictions. Five names didn’t appear until over a decade later. USA Gymnastics implemented an expedited process in 2007, King said, for adding people to the banned list that has “helped this situation immensely.” Still, IndyStar found recent examples of the problem: Virginia-based coach Christopher Ford pleaded guilty on Oct. 22, 2010, to the assault and battery of a 12-year-old male gymnast, according to Fairfax County Police Department spokeswoman Tawny Wright. But he was not placed on the banned list until earlier this year.

“They’ve ... groomed the gymnastics community into a false sense of security.” Katherine Starr, Olympian and founder of Safe4Athletes

Maryland-based coach Neil Frederick was convicted in 2002 of what’s listed on the state’s sex offender registry as a “third-degree sex offense.” He was accused of fondling five girls, ages 9-10, at a school where he was a physical education teacher. But Frederick didn’t appear on the banned coaches list until this year. 107 ON BANNED LIST

Being on the banned list isn’t an absolute prohibition from coaching. It prevents coaches only from holding a professional membership through USA Gymnastics and from coaching at its sanctioned events. But membership is a big deal. As the sport’s national governing body, USA Gymnastics sets the policies and rules for gymnastics from the highest levels to local gyms — a sweeping reach that takes in more than 121,000 members. The Indianapolis-based organization also controls the path to Olympic competition for thousands of young athletes, including gymnasts hoping to earn college

function of the convention — to rein in wayward or stray base voters — isn’t as necessary or productive. And Zogby predicts that as Millennials’ share of the electorate increases, bounces will continue to fade. These voters wait longer to decide, he says, and — despite their ever-higher production values, “conventions don’t scholarships or emulate their Team USA heroes. Currently, there are 107 people on the list of banned members, nearly all of whom are coaches accused or convicted of sexual misconduct. Some, such as former Olympic team coach Don Peters, are well-known in the gymnastics community. Others coached at the local level. People are added to the banned list when “a member’s conduct is determined to be inconsistent with the best interest of the sport of gymnastics and of the athletes we are servicing,” according to the organization’s website. Gym owners said they check the list when hiring coaches, and parents can use it to ensure their children are safe. Jan Giunipero, a Florida-based former gym owner, told IndyStar she hired a coach believing his USA Gymnastics membership — and the fact he wasn’t on the banned list — meant “he was a safe choice in all aspects.” And a Georgia mother, Lisa Ganser, told IndyStar she believed her daughter was in good hands because the girl’s coach was a USA Gymnastics member in good standing. They both were wrong. Ganser said she felt betrayed when she learned that USA Gymnastics had received at least four warnings about that coach, William “Bill” McCabe, before he secretly took pictures of her daughter changing clothes and posted those naked pictures of the preteen on the Internet. McCabe’s name wasn’t placed on the list until after he pleaded guilty to federal charges of sexual exploitation of children and making false statements. PARTIAL SCREENING

USA Gymnastics also faces some criticism over its policy on background checks. Since 2007, USA Gymnastics has required national- and county-level checks in all the places where an applicant has lived for the previous seven years. Some checks can go back further, said King, the USA Gymnastics spokeswoman. The criminal checks are required as a condition of membership and are conducted every two years. The policy, however, doesn’t cover all employees at the more than 3,000 gyms that also are USA Gymnastics members. A separate organization, the U.S. Association of Independent Gymnastics Clubs, requires background checks for all employees of a gym — even the owner. Anything less than that, the group’s website says, is “an unsafe prac-

really grab them.” To a presidential campaign, a bounce is as beautiful as a spring morning — and as ephemeral. As often as not, the nominees eventually wind up roughly where they were in the polls, having provided everyone with something to talk about for two weeks. Richard Nixon got a fine bump in 1968, but only narrowly defeated Hubert Humphrey, who had a disastrous, riot-marred Democratic convention in Chicago. Nor is a bounce a reliable predictor of victory. Barry Goldwater (1964) and Walter Mondale (1984) got a substantial bounce but were creamed in November by an incumbent who’d gotten a small one. Holbrook says candidates who go into the convention polling lower than their expected performance in the general election tend to get relatively large bounces. Still, in a business where perception and expectation are crucial, a bounce offers validation — that the convention was on message and that the campaign is on track. In that light, says Holbrook, “the size of the bump doesn’t matter so much as whether the candidate gets the bump he is expected to get.” That was a kiss of death for candidates like George McGovern in 1972 (no bounce, according to Gallup), John Kerry in 2004 and Romney in 2012 (each logged minus 1 percentage point). “No bounce means trouble,” says Zogby. “You have to get something.” Last week, in most polls, Hillary Clinton’s comfortable lead over Trump was roughly what it was a few weeks before the conventions. “The idea of the bounce is overrated,” Miringoff admits. “But when the dust settles after the conventions, you’re a lot better off being ahead than behind.” tice” and fails to “meet the standards of care pertaining to child safety.” “For me, as a father and grandfather, I’m paranoid about these things,” Paul Spadaro, president of the New York-based organization, told IndyStar. When IndyStar asked USA Gymnastics why it doesn’t require background checks of all gym personnel, King said the organization “cannot oversee the private business practices of the clubs other than through their relationship to the organization.” Katherine Starr, a former Olympic swimmer and founder and president of Safe4Athletes, said USA Gymnastics’ efforts fall short of what’s truly needed to protect children. “They’ve manipulated and groomed the gymnastics community into a false sense of security,” she said.

SPRING, MD. “Good morning, young kings!” At the invocation, about 100 young African-American high school freshmen look up from their breakfasts — teetering stacks of waffles and piles of scrambled eggs and bacon — and await a message from Benjamin Williams.

Missouri’s Blunt faces voter anger in campaign After uncomplicated primary, re-election bid proving tougher Deirdre Shesgreen USATODAY

KANSAS CITY, MO. After an easy primary win Tuesday, Sen. Roy Blunt will share the top of Missouri’s Republican election ballot with two unabashed political outsiders — presidential nominee Donald Trump and gubernatorial contender Eric Greitens — who have both railed against career politicians and vowed to upend a “rigged” system. It could provide for a dissonant campaign, as Blunt seeks to sell his experience and results in Washington while his fellow Republicans blast the political establishment. “I’m going to be talking about a government that does things, that helps create better jobs,” Blunt said over coffee at an upscale café in Kansas City on Tuesday morning, before he headed to Springfield for primary night. Blunt, 66, is facing a surprisingly stiff challenge from Jason Kander, Missouri’s 35-year-old secretary of State. The Army veteran and former state legislator is hoping to ride this election’s antiestablishment wave to victory in November, despite Missouri’s increasingly conservative tilt. “People are looking for somebody who presents a very different choice, somebody who is very clearly an outsider to Congress and to Washington,” Kander said over eggs and hash browns at Winstead’s diner in Kansas City on Sunday. “Sen. Blunt’s been running for office nine years longer than I’ve been alive.” The Missouri Senate race did not start out as a must-watch race — Blunt was the heavy favorite. But Kander has changed that dynamic with strong fundraising and an aggressive media strategy, not to mention the luck of running in a good year for political challengers.

JACQUELYN MARTIN, AP

Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., is facing a tough challenge for re-election from Missouri’s secretary of state, Jason Kander.

“For at least 10 years, he’s been seeking public office. I have a record of getting things done.” Sen. Roy Blunt, on campaign opponent Jason Kander

A poll released last week by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch showed 43% of respondents backing Kander compared with 47% for Blunt. The poll of 625 likely voters, conducted by Mason Dixon Polling & Research July 23-24, had a margin of error of 4 percentage points. The Missouri race has inched onto the national radar as one of a handful of contests that could help determine which party controls the Senate come January. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win control of the chamber if Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton wins the White House, and five if Trump wins the presidency. Kander spent last week barnstorming the state in a gigantic blue bus, pitching his fresh-start promise at union halls and coffee shops. “Sen. Blunt’s entire message is that Washington is working,” Kander said. “Nobody agrees with that, in any political party in Missouri.”

He highlights his service in Afghanistan as an Army captain and military intelligence officer investigating corruption. “We need more people in Washington in both parties who have voluntarily been through something more difficult than a re-election campaign,” Kander told a crowd of supporters at Gates Bar-B-Q. Blunt kicked off his own campaign bus tour Wednesday, promising to spend all of August touting his work for a smaller government and better economy at small businesses across the state. “The focus of our 100-stop tour is more jobs and less government, and I’ve got a record that shows that’s what I’ve been working for all the time I’ve been in Congress,” Blunt said. He said Kander, who first ran for office in 2007 and was elected in 2008, is as much an establishment politician as he is, but without the results to show for it. “For at least 10 years, he’s been seeking public office,” Blunt said. “I have a record of getting things done.” In the current political climate, it’s not clear how well Blunt’s experience-and-results message will sell. But it’s also not clear Kander can convince Missourians he’s a true change agent.

they look in a mirror. “So often, young men of color, their experience in education is an expectation of criminology, an expectation of pathology, an expectation of dysfunction, even if it’s not overt,” said Charles Curtis, the school’s psychologist. That expectation “plays out in the services that they get. It plays out in their discipline referrals. It plays out in the expectations of their classroom teacher. And I think here we are, on purpose, naming high expectations.” Curtis admitted the idea was a bit “radical,” but added, “Our problems are radical. And without radical response — without radical, proactive work — we’re going to be chasing our tails.” Before it even opens, the school has been met with resistance. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has said that while DCPS’s focus on the racial

achievement gap is “a necessary and welcome step,” the boys-only structure “raises significant legal and policy concerns.” In a report issued last May, ACLU said the district’s own data show that minority girls suffer from an achievement gap of their own. The ACLU alleged the district can’t definitively say whether single-sex schooling is even effective at improving educational outcomes — the research the district relied upon, it said, “is based on unproven and legally impermissible stereotypes.” Curtis said he agrees that young women of color should be offered their own version of a school like RBCP. “I think this idea of young girls of color needing comparable services is absolutely accurate,” he said. “That doesn’t negate that young males of color need very targeted, pointed interventions.”

IN BRIEF MACHETE-WIELDING ATTACKER KILLED IN BELGIUM

Belgian police shot a machetewielding man outside the Charleroi police station — about 35 miles south of Brussels — on Saturday after he shouted “Allahu Akhbar (God is great)” and injured two female officers, police said. The attacker later died, Charleroi police said on Twitter. The two wounded officers were “out of danger,” police said. The man, who apparently acted alone, introduced himself at the police security checkpoint, then pulled his weapon out of a gym bag and struck the first officer in the face before turning to strike her colleague, the Belgian newspaper Le Soir reported. He was shot by a third officer. Belgium remains on high alert in the wake of attacks in March in Brussels that killed 32 people at the Brussels airport and at a metro station. — Doug Stanglin INVESTIGATION OF BAD REACTIONS AT OHIO CONCERT

At least 24 people experienced bad reactions Saturday at a concert after ingesting a substance laced with THC, the mind-altering substance found in marijuana, authorities say. Richland County sheriff’s Maj. Joe Masi said there were no fatalities. The victims were at Ohio Dreams, an action sports camp

about 70 miles northeast of Columbus, for a weekend concert. Police Lt. Joe Petrycki said earlier reports that the concertgoers had overdosed were too strong. “They didn't lose consciousness,” he said. “They just felt different.” Those who had a bad reaction were taken to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. “Everybody appears to be OK,” Masi said. — Mark Caudill (Mansfield, Ohio) News Journal 13 PEOPLE DEAD IN FRANCE AS CAKE CANDLES SPARK FIRE

Violence preys upon Coptic Christians Church torching and other incidents in Egypt ‘painful,’ head of minority religion says

Jacob Wirtschafter Special for USA TODAY

CAIRO Residents in the southern Egyptian village of Naj al-Nassara watched in horror as their beloved Archangel Mikhail Coptic Church burned to the ground. “We heard deafening sounds of explosions and crackling as the interior of the church gave way,” said Salim Qamhi, a farmer in Naj al-Nassara. “The fire had eaten up everything — the wooden sanctuary, the icons, the pews and the books.” The fire in mid-July came amid a rash of recent attacks that have alarmed Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority, who blame the government for doing too little to protect them. About 10% of Egypt’s mostly Muslim population of 90 million are Christian — one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. “The incidents we heard about are very painful,” Egypt’s Coptic Pope Tawadros II recently told an Egyptian parliamentary committee. “I’m patient and enduring, but there have been incidents that warn of danger.” Tawadros told lawmakers that attacks against Christians average about one a month over the past three years. In May, a mob stripped naked a Christian woman in her 70s and dragged her through the streets after her son was accused of being involved with a Muslim woman. On July 5 in Egypt’s Minya district, a 16-year-old girl was allegedly kidnapped by a Muslim neighbor who demanded that her family accept her conversion to Islam. On the same day, a Coptic nun died from gunshot wounds. Authorities said she was caught in a roadside gunbattle between ri-

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has vowed since taking power in 2014 to bring to justice those responsible for anti-Christian attacks, to repair damaged churches and to widen minority rights. He twice attended Christmas services, a first for an Egyptian president. In speeches, Sisi rejects divisions between Muslims and Christians, saying, “We are all Egyptians.” After Sisi met in late July with Tawadros and other Coptic leaders, he affirmed the government’s commitment to preserving Christians’ rights, noting that new housing developments can include both churches and mosques. Church construction is a sensitive issue in Egypt, and some say it could be behind the increase in attacks. “It seems the minister of Interior is just absent,” said Meshil

Nasef, a civil engineer from Minya, about the agency that oversees police in Egypt. “Our community needs security and peace to be restored.” The Egyptian government says it is taking action, but it’s not enough to prevent attacks, Nasef and others said.

houses on July 16 in Abu-Yacoub, a village about 140 miles south of Cairo. “Police and firemen arrived after the houses were destroyed,” said Anba Macarius, the Coptic bishop of Abu-Yacoub. Macarias said the fires occurred after Muslim leaders declared that Copts planned to build a church in Abu-Yacoub, even though the village already has a church and no plans for another one. Christians currently need a presidential decree to build a church, along with approval from the local Muslim community and security services. No similar restrictions exist for building a mosque. “Christians are in real danger,” said Marina Ramsis, 21, a theater arts student in Heliopolis, an upscale Cairo neighborhood. “Being different is always a problem, especially in a developing country like Egypt.”

U.S. suds no longer duds Linda A. Thompson Special for USA TODAY BRUSSELS —

In a land where the love of local beers is deeply ingrained in the national character, the idea of quaffing imported American suds can leave a bitter taste. “When you say American beers, I think inferior beers,” said psychologist Bram MombersSchepers, quenching his thirst at Cafe Au Laboureur, a popular watering hole whose treats include ales crafted by monks according to centuries-old recipes and cherry-flavored brews that are a summer favorite in the Belgian capital. “Why would I buy American when I can drink so many delicious locally made beers?” Mombers-Schepers mused. “I would always opt for something local.” Despite such resistance, America’s craft-beer revolution is winning over a growing number of converts in this heartland of idiosyncratic artisan brews. U.S. beermakers exported nearly 160,000 gallons to this kingdom of 10 million people in 2015, according to the latest figures from Belgian Brewers, a trade group. Sales are still dwarfed by the more than 50 million gallons of Belgian beer heading the other way across the Atlantic, but it shows how new American brewers are gaining a toehold in the country that was an inspiration for many of them. “We are unique. We have a gigantic beer culture,” said Sofie Vanrafelghem, a Belgian beer industry consultant and author. “But we’re absolutely not the only country that can make good beer. Some consumers tend to put blinders on and say, ‘Every beer outside of Belgium is bad,’ but that’s just not true. We have to be sober and honest about that.” Belgium boasts of having more breweries per person than any other country. It even produces special “table beer” designed to wean children to the stuff at family mealtimes. Rare tipples like the monastery brewed Westvleteren 12 — hailed by many as the world’s best — sell for inflated prices on interna-

ing months. “We’d love to be the favorite U.S. imported beer,” Smith said. Belgium may be a small country, but it is a giant in the beer world. The Goose Island Brewery was purchased in 2011 by AB InBev, the world’s biggest beermaker, based outside Brussels in the university city of Leuven. The AB InBev empire’s global brands include Stella Artois, Budweiser, Beck’s and Corona. It generated revenue of $43.6 billion last year, and a planned merger with rival SABMiller would give it more than 30% of the world market. The decision to offer Goose Island beers in the homeland illustrates how Belgian brewers are looking to exploit the growing interest in new wave American beers among drinkers in their $2.26 billion domestic market. “American craft beers are loved around the world because they are fresh and unconventional,” explained Debby Wilmsen, spokeswoman for Duvel Moortgat, a brewery based north of Brussels whose flagship Duvel strong golden ale is a connoisseurs’ favorite. Last year, Duvel Moortgat introduced Belgian drinkers to two beers produced by its Kansas City subsidiary, Boulevard Brewing. Boulevard’s Single White IPA and Tank 7 — a brew inspired by Belgian farmhouse ales — are now available in 400 bars and cafes across the kingdom. “We have high-quality craft beers and wanted to be able to offer them exclusively to Belgian cafes,” Wilmsen said. “This allows bars to distinguish themselves from other bars and surprise their customers.” The American craft beers are appealing to more adventurous Belgian drinkers and beer geeks eager to look beyond the country’s 1,500 local brands. Jean-Louis Van de Perre, head of Belgian Brewers, said the industry welcomes the competition from the U.S. craft movement. “We can still say that Belgium is the No. 1 country when it comes to beer,” he insisted.

ZIKA ABOUT THE AEDES AEGYPTI

TREATMENT No vaccine to prevent or treat Zika; no treatment for microcephaly.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have distinctive black-and-white-striped coloration. They are aggressive daytime biters. This species can survive year-round in tropical and subtropical climates.

PREVENTION

The World Health Organization has labeled the Zika virus and its link to complications in newborns as an international health emergency. Here is what you should know:

Avoid mosquitoes AVOID BEING OUTSIDE

Aedes mosquitoes bite mostly during the daytime.

COVER UP EXPOSED AREAS

TRANSMISSION METHOD

EPA

If outside, wear long-sleeve shirts and long pants.

Aedes mosquitoes, which become infected when they feed on a person who has the virus, spread the virus to others through bites.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can transmit Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever to humans.

MAY ALSO BE SPREAD BY APPLY INSECT REPELLENT

CONTAINER BREEDERS The mosquitoes breed wherever water collects, such as discarded plastic cups, bottle caps, old tires and birdbaths.

Sexual partners (the virus lasts longer in semen than blood)

HOW ZIKA SPREADS

GET THEM WHERE THEY BREED

Important: Empty containers of standing water frequently (in buckets, animal dishes, flower pots, tarps). Mosquitoes lays eggs and congregate in and near pools of water but also may rest under beds and inside closets.

ZIKA VIRUS SYMPTOMS Four of five people infected with Zika have no symptoms. Symptoms are usually mild and can last a week. Most common symptoms:

Fever

AEDES ALBOPICTUS MOSQUITO AREAS

Blood transfusions

A pregnant woman to her fetus during pregnancy

The Zika virus is spread by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito and possibly the Aedes albopictus. Where the mosquitoes can be found in the U.S.:

AEDES AEGYPTI MOSQUITO AREAS

EPA-registered repellents recommended, particularly ones labeled to protect against Aedes mosquitoes. (No repellents should be used on babies younger than 2 months.)

Rash

Conjunctivitis (pink eye)

Joint pain

FOR MORE INFORMATION ONLINE:

WHY ZIKA IS DANGEROUS Linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a neurological disorder that can cause temporary paralysis.

Linked to a birth defect known as microcephaly, which results in small heads and brain damage in infants.

THE SPREAD OF THE ZIKA VIRUS The risk in the U.S. is much lower than in developing countries because American cities are less densely populated, have less poverty and trash and have more homes equipped with window screens and air conditioning. U.S. cities also have better mosquito control. Travel-related Zika cases currently reported

Analysts vary on the sales impact of the Olympic Games Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

When Michael Phelps carried the flag into the Olympic opening ceremony Friday, the oversize pony logo on his blazer was an obvious giveaway that there’s more at stake for the United States in Brazil than loads of gold medals. He and his fellow members of Team USA will be a walking advertisement for U.S. fashion and apparel — in this case, Ralph Lauren, which designed the uniforms. Over the next two weeks, the Olympics will be a global stage for brands to showcase the latest styles and technical innovations. The teams’ apparel choices may drive shopper traffic at a time when many Americans are more likely thinking about their final trip to the beach rather than a new polo shirt or pair of running shorts. For sports-apparel retailers, “the Olympics are the new fashion week runway,” says Simeon Siegel, retail analyst with Nomura. Nike, the official sponsor for the United States Olympic Committee, has more than 100 Team USA products for sale, plus more specialized merchandise such as the jackets athletes will wear on the medal stand. Under Armour launched a “country pride” collection that includes Tshirts with phrases such as “Home of the Brave” and sports bras emblazoned with “USA.” Retailers such as Dick’s Sporting Goods will have specific Olympic displays in stores. Macy’s, which has an exclusive partnership with Ralph Lauren to sell the opening and closing ceremony outfits, expected a surge in traffic this weekend after the athletes made their entrance in Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Sales of athletic apparel for the year ended May 31 spiked 14% to $45.7 billion, according to data from NPD Group. That follows a 15% rise in sales in the year before. Meanwhile, total apparel sales in the U.S. in the past year were flat, at $214.4 billion. Still, some say it’s difficult to determine a measurable impact from the Olympics. Macy’s and Dick’s declined to comment on how much the Olympics will contribute to overall sales. Nike said

it doesn’t break out Olympic sales. “It’s a great way to showcase products, but not one that turns into immediate sales,” says Matt Powell, sports industry analyst with NPD Group. “I have never seen the Olympics themselves get people up off the couch to go buy something.” That won’t stop brands from putting their most sporty foot forward. It will be an especially influential games for Under Armour, the Baltimore-based company that has made a rapid climb to recognition recently within the sports apparel industry. Under Armour sponsors Phelps, who has won more Olympic medals than anyone in the world and is competing, and expected to medal, in three individual events in Rio. The company has also been angling to make a bigger name for itself outside the U.S. “We hope to see an increased interest in the brand that translates to sales,” says Kevin Eskridge, senior vice president of global merchandising for Under Armour. “Anytime a large audience is focused on a global sporting event, it provides us with a great opportunity to broaden our consumer base.” The Olympics can sometimes backfire on brands, though, as

they did for Under Armour during the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, after U.S. speed skaters complained that their Under Armour suits were to blame for their lack of medals in the competition. Under Armour was forced to play defense after touting the uniforms as the fastest suits in the sport. Some makers of athletic gear, however, don’t prioritize the Games. Adidas isn’t making a big push to sell Olympics-related merchandise and says soccer events like the FIFA World Cup and Copa America are more influential to Adidas sales. But the company still sees the event as crucial to brand recognition and sponsors hundreds of athletes competing in Brazil. “Having a presence and good visibility during the Olympic Games ensures that consumers are more likely to buy products from our brand afterwards,” says Adidas spokeswoman Maria Culp.

How small retailers survive in age of Amazon Rhonda Abrams

@RhondaAbrams Special for USA TODAY

Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, just became the third-richest person in the world, nudging out investor Warren Buffett. On his way to amazing riches, Bezos and his online behemoth store knocked out untold numbers of independent small businesses. Indeed, if you ask small retailers whom their biggest competitor is, they’ll likely say “Amazon.” That is, if they’re still in business. Let’s give Bezos his due. He’s an incredible entrepreneur. He had a vision of creating the biggest store on Earth in the mid-1990s and, with unwavering intensity, he made his vision a reality. Amazon has helped to create many other new small businesses by providing them an easy way to sell online, and some bricks-and-mortar retailers have built income streams through online Amazon sales. But, let’s face it, Bezos had a lot of help. It’s not been an even playing field for the small bricks-andmortar retailers. Amazon has

are competitive, announce that in signs and/or on your website. uCreate experiences. Shopping is a social activity for many. Plan in-store events or parties. One local independent running store has a monthly beer bash (sponsored and paid for by a vendor, in fact). Plan activities for kids (parents always need something to do with their kids). Encourage customers to take pictures and share on social media while in your store. uDevelop loyal fans. Concentrate on ways to increase engagement with customers: loyalty reward programs, an active social-media presence, create store “memberships” with benefits. And, most important, hire and train excellent staff who make a real connection with customers. uTeam up with others. Recognize that the independent store across town is no longer your big competitor — they’re in this with you. Spread the “shop local, shop small” message whenever you can.

Berger fires 62, tops Travelers Cromwell, Conn. — Daniel Berger shot an 8-under par 62 on Saturday, two strokes off the course record, to take a threestroke lead into the final round of the Travelers Championship. The 23-year-old Floridian made nine birdies, including seven on his final 10 holes Saturday, to finish with a 15-under par 195 after 54 holes. Russell Knox, who opened his round with three straight birdies, shot a 64 and was tied with Russell Henley and Tyrone Van Aswegen for second place at 12-under par. Former University of Kansas golfer Gary Woodland fired a third round 67. He was at 6-under 204, tied for 15th place and nine strokes off the lead. Berger, who is coming off a shoulder injury, is looking for his second career title on the PGA Tour. He won two months ago in Memphis at the St. Jude Classic.

FORMER NFL PLAYER MARVIN HARRISON POSES WITH A BUST OF HIMSELF during induction ceremonies at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Canton, Ohio.

Favre joins football hall

ARIZONA .........................3 (37.5)........................ Oakland

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

71,838 yards and 508 touchdowns, he threw an NFL-high 336 interceptions — Favre was a three-time All-Pro and made 11 Pro Bowls. His enthusiasm and love for the game marked his career, which began in Atlanta in 1991 and ended with the Vikings in 2010. He spent 2008 with the Jets. And he just might not be done. “I am going to ask Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson to let me play the first series tomorrow night,” Favre joked. Joining Favre in the class of 2016 were Tony Dungy, a trailblazing coach and Super Bowl winner; one of his stars, Marvin Harrison; Kevin Greene; Orlando Pace; Ken Stabler; Dick Stanfel; and Ed DeBartolo Jr. The first black coach to win an NFL championship, Dungy has been and a mentor to dozens of players and fellow coaches. Instead of concentrating on his role as a pioneer, he paid homage to those before him in a poignant and sometimes enthralling speech. “Many of them never got the chance to move up the coaching ladder like I did, but they were so important to the progress in this league,” Dungy said of the 10 African-American coaches in the NFL when he broke in as a player in 1977. “They were role models and mentors for me and my generation ... without those 10 laying the groundwork, the league would not have the 200-plus minority assistant coaches it has today. “And we would not have had Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy coaching against each other in Super Bowl 41. I feel I am representing those 10 men and all the African-American coaches who came before me in paving the way, and I thank them.” Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to the 2006 NFL title. He also has a coaching tree that has featured Mike Tomlin, Herman

Edwards, Jim Caldwell, Rod Marinelli, Leslie Frazier and Lovie Smith. A disciple of Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll, for whom he played on a Super Bowl winner, Dungy went 139-69 in 13 seasons, including 85-27 with the Colts from 2002-08. Before joining Indianapolis, Dungy turned around a perennial loser in Tampa Bay, taking the Buccaneers to the 1999 NFC title game. “I’m the 10th Steeler from Super Bowl 13 to be enshrined,” he said with a chuckle, “but you could have won a lot of money if you would have said I would be one of those 10. “Be uncommon, not just average,” he added before paying tribute to former NFL coach Dennis Green, who recently passed away. “That thought has stuck with me throughout my life.” Harrison’s 143 receptions in 2002 are an NFL record. He retired in 2008 with 1,102 catches, now third behind Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez. He had eight consecutive seasons with at least 1,100 yards receiving for Indianapolis. His receptions, 14,608 yards and 128 touchdowns are all Colts franchise records. He topped the 100-catch mark four straight times as Peyton Manning’s prime target. He came full circle Saturday. “I worked extremely hard to get to this point,” said the Colts’ first-round draft choice in 1996. “I played my first NFL game right on this very field.” Harrison made eight Pro Bowls, was a three-time AllPro, and missed only 18 games in 13 NFL seasons. “He was this quiet, unassuming guy,” Colts owner Jim Irsay in presenting Harrison for induction. “He was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Marvin’s greatness is earned as well as natural.”

KU FOOTBALL

Armstrong to miss practice time By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

For the most part, Kansas football players got through their first two preseason practices without suffering anything more than some dings and bruises. But head coach David Beaty said Saturday one of the team’s most talented players would have to spend at least a little time as an observer instead of a participant. According to Beaty, sophomore defensive end Dorance Armstrong Jr. “kind of tweaked his leg a little bit,” leading KU’s trainers and coaches to take a cautious approach and have him sit out.

“He’s gonna be fine,” the secondyear KU c o a c h added. “We’ve had him Armstrong evaluated by our doctors. We know what that guy can do. We’re not gonna put him out there for a couple of days and let him heal up. He’ll make a full recovery, he’ll be good. Like I said, he’s fine.” Armstrong, a 6-foot-4, 241-pound defensive lineman, registered 3.5 sacks and 5.6 tackles for loss as a true freshman in 2015. Beaty remarked the Dend is so strong he should

recover quickly from the minor injury. “I know he’s sad that he’s not gonna be out there (at practice), because he wants to practice every single minute of the day,” a chuckling Beaty said. “But we’re gonna be cautious with him, because he’s one of our best players.” With Armstrong sidelined, Beaty added, the coaching staff will be able to evaluate some other linemen more thoroughly. KU defensive line coach Michael Slater identified true freshman defensive end Isaiah Bean (6-foot-4, 210 pounds) as one Jayhawk who resembles a younger Armstrong.

Practice gets ‘chippy’ As the Jayhawks try to bounce back from a winless 2015, Beaty often has proclaimed to his players the value of competition within their preparation. That’s why the secondyear KU coach didn’t get overly upset with his players when Friday, during the team’s second preseason practice, a few drills turned more intense. “Man, the competition’s been so tight and in depth and so heated,” Beaty explained, “that we got a little heated with the wide receivers and the DB’s, and then we got chippy inside with the offensive line and the D-line. That’s something that you like to see, but

versity at practices, he takes note. Following Friday’s practice (Beaty spoke to media prior to Saturday’s work), the head coach made a point to bring up the closing stretch to his assistants. With only 10 to 15 plays remaining and the night winding down, Beaty said KU’s offense had outshone the defense. But that didn’t stop coordinator Clint Bowen’s crew from bouncing back. “They kept playing, they created a turnover and, man, because of what we do on offense, you’re never out of a game,” Beaty said of his Air Raid attack. “If we can get Takeaways crucial them to do that, we don’t When Beaty witnesses need much time to score his team overcoming ad- with what we do.”

Willis

Not every week went so smoothly, as Kansas struggled to a winless season in Beaty’s first year, but the experience aided Willis’ development. To say he learned a lot by starting against eight Big 12 teams would qualify as an understatement. “It’s college football. You’re getting live reps,” Willis explained. “It was a disappointing season. We obviously wanted to win. We put in a lot of work and effort, blood, sweat, tears, like they say. But all I can really say is we’re gonna be a lot better this year.” Although Beaty is not near naming a starting quarterback, he concedes the two returning starters from a year ago, Willis and Cozart (who became

the de facto No. 1 this past spring), should have an advantage due to the “massive amount of reps” they’ve taken. “I think that’s where the premium is. You know they have experience, there’s things that they see,” said Beaty, who has installed his own version of the Air Raid since the end of last season. “I don’t care what offense you’re running, that experience of being out there, some of those things are inherently the same no matter what you’re running.” In one sense, Willis’ injury misfortune might even actually have helped him in one sense. He found a new appreciation for studying video when he wasn’t allowed to throw. Once cleared

spin it now. They all can spin it. That’s one thing I’m really pleased with. From top to bottom, they can spin it.” While starting the final eight games of 2015 for Kansas as a true freshman, in the wake of a season-ending shoulder injury to junior Montell Cozart, Willis threw for 1,719 yards and nine touchdowns — including at least one TD pass in six straight games. In an Oct. 17 home loss to Texas Tech, the former Bishop Miege standout connected on 35 of his 50 passes and threw for 330 yards and two touchdowns.

you want to be able to see a mature team recover from that and re-focus and get back on the objectives that you have at hand.” According to their coach, the Jayhawks did just that in the aforementioned instances, maybe for the first time since he arrived at KU. “We want them getting after each other. I mean, it’s a physical game, so I was pleased with seeing that,” Beaty said, adding the players’ ability to move past the quarreling and finish practice strong is why it earned his approval.

to resume his life as a quarterback, Willis left a positive impression on his mentor/competitor. Cozart could tell Willis wouldn’t let his time away catch up with him. “He’s been doing a great job,” said Cozart, who also played at Miege as a prep. “Going through summer workouts, you could see him getting back in the swing of things. All of our quarterbacks, as well.” Every coach and player who spends time with KU’s QB’s will tell you Willis and Cozart aren’t the only Jayhawks in the mix in this competition. Other possible candidates include red-shirt freshman Carter Stanley and true freshman Tyriek Starks.

Cummins tops city golf event By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Tyler Cummins carded six birdies and two bogeys en route to a 68 at Eagle Bend to take the lead heading into today’s second and final round of the 2016 City Championship of Lawrence golf tournament. Cumm i n s will play today’s r o u n d w i t h Cummins Mark Elliott, who shot a 69, and William Gantz (70). Bradley Lane and Josh Williams also covered the 18 holes under par and are tied for fourth, three strokes off the pace. “The wind wasn’t blowing,” Cummins said. “Other than that, it was a pretty normal Eagle Bend round, except I normally have a double-bogey slammed in there somewhere.” Cummins, 32, heads the KGA’s junior golf pro-

gram. A former Kansas State golfer, Cummins won the 2013 city championship. Elliott, a left-handed stick from Topeka, works part-time at Eagle Bend, which made him eligible for the tournament. He had a four-year city championship run in Topeka from 2007 through 2010. This is his first Lawrence city championship Busy with his radio work, Elliott, 56, hasn’t played much tournament golf since playing in the U.S. Senior Open in 2013. His work has him serving as host of radio shows with financial advisers that play throughout the country, via computer. He also is play-by-play man on broadcasts of Washburn University football games. Elliott didn’t card a par until the sixth hole. He started his round birdie, bogey, birdie, birdie, birdie on his way to a five-birdie, two-bogey round. Seven-time city champion Conrad Roberts, visiting his mother in Wales, is not in the field.

receive a scholarship offer from Kansas coach Bill Self until mid-July and told Shay Wildeboor of JayhawkSlant.com that his interactions with the Jayhawks had been enjoyable. Brown visited Lawrence for Late Night a season ago and said he plans to visit again in the near future. “Coach Self and I talked, and he let me know that he really wants me and he’s excited about me,” Brown told Wildeboor. “I didn’t have an offer from Kansas at that time, but it was still real nice. Hanging around Wayne Selden, Frank Mason, and Devonté Graham was real nice.” In addition to his Late Night visit a year ago, Brown also has played in a couple of AAU tournaments at Allen Fieldhouse and has come away each time with good vibes about KU and Lawrence. “I’ve been to Kansas and I’ve looked at the rooms and the dorms. Everything is nice,” he said. Assistant coach Jerrance Howard is the lead recruiter for Brown. Howard also played a big role in landing versatile four-star guard Marcus Garrett, who committed to KU last week. “He’s a great guy,” Brown said of Howard. “We’ve been texting and talking and he’s told me that coach Self really wants me and they need a big wing like me to come in for the 2017 class.” Adding proof to that claim, Self, who last Tweeted 37 days earlier, recently took his first stab at taking advantage of a new rule that allows college coaches to ReTweet or like Tweets associated with prospects who have not yet signed. After seeing a “Rock Chalk” Tweet from a KU fan directed at Brown, Self ReTweeted the message.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Duffy, Royals turn back Blue Jays Cubs 4, Athletics 0 Oakland, Calif. — Jake Arrieta pitched eight innings of three-hit ball to get his first victory in over a month. Arrieta (13-5) was 0-3 in his previous five starts and 1-4 since ending a 20-decision winning streak on June 22. He struck out four and walked one on 108 pitches. The NL Central-leading Cubs have won five straight and 16 of 22. They gave the A’s to their seventh loss in eight games. Ben Zobrist’s two-out two-run single off former A’s teammate Sonny Gray broke a scoreless tie in the top of the third.

American League Royals 4, Blue Jays 2 Kansas City, Mo. — Danny Duffy didn’t pitch quite as well as he did in his previous start — that would’ve been hard to match. He did plenty, though, to stop Aaron Sanchez and the Blue Jays. Duffy and the Kansas City Royals ended a 10game winning streak by Sanchez, topping Toronto, 4-2, Saturday night. Duffy (8-1) struck out a team-record 16 and permitted just one hit over eight innings at Tampa Bay in his last start. He won his seventh straight decision, holding the Blue Jays to two runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings. “I think the last start was probably the best start of my career,” Duffy said. “On days like that, I had everything working. Today not so much. Today, I didn’t have what I had the last time out, but I had enough. It wasn’t as good as the last one, but it was good enough.” Sanchez (11-2) hadn’t lost since April 22 against Oakland. He allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings. Sanchez still leads the AL with a 2.85 ERA. The Blue Jays opted earlier this week to go with a six-man rotation instead of putting the 24-year-old Sanchez in the bullpen to limit his innings. “It’s not like I thought he was out there distracted or rattled or anything,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “They just beat him. Nobody’s invincible.” Devon Travis led off the game with a home run for the second straight night. He also had an RBI single in the fifth after Kevin Pillar doubled. “It was a minor frustration, leaving a changeup up after I’ve been so good with my changeup this entire season,” Duffy said of Travis’ leadoff homer. “It was frustrating, but you don’t let it affect the next hitter and I didn’t, just kind of moved on.” Eric Hosmer hit a twoout, two-run single in a three-run fifth that made it 3-2. “We had four hits that inning and three of them were infield hits,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Hos came through. It was a big two-out hit.” Sanchez pitched only 102 innings last year, including 9 2/3 in the minors on a rehab assignment after a shoulder injury. The All-Star righty has thrown 145 1-3 innings this season. Alcides Escobar’s infield single scored Kansas City’s first run. Raul Mondesi had an RBI triple in the sixth for his first extra-base hit in his 11th game in the majors. Kelvin Herrera picked up his fourth save. Toronto AB R H BI BB SO Avg.

White Sox 4, Orioles 2 Chicago — Omar Navarez’s foul ball turned into a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning after a replay challenge, and Chicago beat Chris Tillman and Baltimore. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Navarez hit a pop to shallow left field off Mychal Givens. Third baseman Manny Machado tried to make an over-the-shoulder catch, but the ball dropped and umpire Mike Winters immediately ruled it foul.

Rockies 12, Marlins 6 Denver — Ichiro Suzuki grounded out in his first try at 3,000 hits, and Miami, despite a 504-foot home run by Giancarlo Stanton, lost to Colorado. Suzuki had a pinch-hit infield single in the eighth inning for No. 2,999 and stayed in the game to play right field. In the ninth, with many in the crowd at Coors Field standing, Suzuki hit a comebacker to Scott Oberg. The 6-foot2 pitcher reached high to get the ball before it went up the middle and, after dropping the transfer, quickly gathered it to barely throw out the speedy Suzuki.

THE UNITED STATES’ WOMEN’S SOCCER TEAM CELEBRATES its goal during a 1-0 victory over France on Saturday in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

OLYMPICS

U.S. women’s soccer, men’s basketball win Rio de Janeiro (ap) — The Olympics began in full with the first gold medal going to an American teenager by the fearsome name of Thrasher. And there was fear and plenty of rough riding on a punishing cycling course that showed the beauty and blight of the host city. The American men’s basketball team romped past China, 119-62, Saturday night behind Kevin Durant’s 25 points. Although it was a blowout, bettors in Las Vegas, where wagering on the Olympics is legal for the first time since 1998, were undoubtedly on edge until the final minutes. The men’s 400-meter individual medley is the marquee race in Saturday night’s swimming program even without two of the sport’s biggest stars. Michael Phelps, the world record holder and two-time Olympic champion, dropped the race for his fifth games and defending champ Ryan Lochte didn’t qualify. Virginia Thrasher, a 19-year-old who once had her heart set on figure skating, captured the 10-meter air rifle Saturday. Greg Van Avermaet of Belgium won the grueling road race that left cyclists tending to scrapes, bruises and road rash. Riders rolled off to the sound of crashing waves on Copacabana Beach on a steamy morning hours after Brazil’s high-energy opening party featuring thumping funk, sultry samba and supermodel Gisele Bundchen sauntering to the tune of “The Girl from Ipanema.” Showcasing Rio’s famed beaches and majestic mountains, the men’s road race began under clear, sunny skies buzzing with helicopters — some carrying TV cameras, others from the military to provide security. The brutality of the course became evident over the cobblestone sectors that rattled one cyclist off his bike, cost another his chain and forced Tour de France champion Chris Froome to change out his broken bike. Van Avermaet outsprinted Jakob Fuglsang and Rafal Majka on the long run to the finish at sun-splashed Copacabana Beach after Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali and Colombia’s Sergio Henao crashed while trying to navigate a corner on the final harrowing descent of the 6-hour race.

Saturday’s Medalists

THE UNITED STATES’ KEVIN DURANT (5) drives past China’s Zou Peng during a men’s basketball game Saturday in Rio de Janeiro. The Americans won, 119-62. Goalkeeper Hope Solo came up big as the United States fought off France, 1-0, in a group stage match at Mineirao Stadium when Carli Lloyd scored the game’s only goal. Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200thcap mark in international play. Despite the milestone, Solo was still peppered with jeers from the crowd, which was riled up about social media posts she made about the threat of the Zika virus. Thousands of police and soldiers were patrolling the city amid concerns about safety as athletes opened the first full day of the Olympics in more than 20 sports a day after some spectators at the opening ceremony came upon the body of a man who had been shot dead near Maracana Stadium. On Saturday, there was a scare during the break at the evening dressage at the Olympic Equestrian Center as a military-looking bullet pierced the roof of the tent and landed on the floor near startled reporters. The competition was not disrupted and nobody was hurt. Brazilian military and police called it “an unfortunate incident,” one that came shortly after bombdisposal experts blew up an unattended bag near the finish line of the men’s road cycling race. Among the highlights on Day 1: n Youth served: Thrasher topped her spectacular spring where she won three NCAA titles and a spot on the

SOME LIKE IT HOT And in the yoga world, some like it even hotter LOOK

By Nick Krug

n a day when the National Weather Service has issued an excessive heat warning for over half of the state, most in Lawrence don’t dare set a foot in a heated pool, let alone a heated room. But then there is this room at 1405 Massachusetts St. The heaters are on. Temperatures hover between 100 and 110 degrees. The room

is full with a dozen women, and becoming fuller all the time with the beads of sweat collecting on the floor and elsewhere. “It is all about perspective,” says Becky Basore, one of the 12 class members. For me, it’s all about figuring out the mystery of what is commonly called hot yoga. We’re at OmTree Shala’s Hot Hatha hot yoga class. Maria Cuevas, the teacher,

leads the students from a bench positioned in the back of the room. She sits crosslegged, much the same as the Buddha statue to her right. At times she uses a gentle, yoga vernacular that I can’t quite follow, but the class members, twelve of them and all women, seem to understand fully as they transition seamlessly from one pose to the next. For someone who doesn’t

appreciate the energizing and toxin-ridding benefits of yoga, the Hot Hatha class might feel like being shut inside an unfinished attic during a heat wave. Even owner and teacher Sharyn Harley explained that she is often surprised with the amount of people who return for hot yoga during the summer. But they do return.

SHELF LIFE

BEST-SELLERS Here are the best-sellers for the week that ended Sunday, July 31, compiled from nationwide data.

THINGS’

awrence’s own Bryn Greenwood comes from a long line of Kansans, a heritage that suffuses her Midwest-set debut, “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.” The novel follows the young life of Wavonna “Wavy” Quinn, daughter of an Oklahoma meth baron and an unstable, germophobe mother. While living at the family’s desolate ranch, 8-year-old Wavy meets Kellen, a man eager to love and nurture her — while also doing the dirty work of her father. What follows is a story of bonds forged in a landscape of desperation, conflict, and beauty. The years speed by as the chapters progress, and as Wavy grows closer to adulthood, her relationship with Kellen becomes all the more vital, but also nebulous. This is only the beginning of the dizzying challenges each character must face. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an advance copy of “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things,” but you can pick one up at the library on Tuesday, when we (in partnership with The Raven bookstore) host the official release party for the book. Greenwood will be there to give a reading, and there will also be an interview and Q&A session with the audience.

Luckily, I can report that in terms of literary merit, Greenwood’s debut is definitely much more wonderful than it is ugly. The novel’s lifeblood is its wide cast of characters, each drawn with vivid and complex detail. The chapters alternate viewpoint— an impressive writing feat, to juggle all the different voices— allowing the reader to get an immersive, kaleidoscopic view of the story. No one in “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things” is without their flaws. At the same time, though, even the most questionable acts do not leave any one character fully condemned or beyond sympathy. The result is a starkly human

novel that explores the damage and love between people; no matter how precarious things get, you can never truly judge Wavy and Kellen’s story, as she declares: “I’m real. I’m as real as you are. My family is real like your family.” There isn’t any other love story out there quite like “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things.” With compelling, true-tolife prose and fascinating characters, Greenwood has created a novel that is hard to put down — and hard to forget. Remember to come by the library on Tuesday to see the author and get a copy. — Eli Hoelscher is a Reader’s Services Assistant at Lawrence Public Library.

“SILLY-CON” VALLEY

Hot CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“It seems like if people were already going to be hot all day that they wouldn’t come in,” Harley says. “When we’re measuring heat, it’s usually 100-110 (degrees) depending on the heat that’s being generated by the students and the temperature outside. We’re warming up your muscles from the inside out.” So, when it is this hot, is there any temptation to skip class and go horizontal on the floor next to the nearest AC vent? An unequivocal ‘no’ is the answer I receive from hot yoga regulars Basore and Jen Oldridge of Lawrence. “I love it,” Oldridge says. “I never miss a class.” “After you come out of that class you’re like, ‘Oh, it feels pretty good outside,’” Basore says. “(Hot Yoga) allows you to find comfort in the uncomfortable. The heat is just one more element, but it’s a big one.” “When I went to my first hot yoga class I went in with some trepidation, like, am I going to feel sick? Is this going to be miserable? And it wasn’t,” Basore says. Two common misconceptions about hot

“(Hot yoga) allows you to find comfort in the uncomfortable. The heat is just one more element, but it’s a big one.” — Becky Basore, Hot Hatha student

yoga that Harley often encounters are the idea that hot yoga is a desertlike atmosphere devoid of water, and “participants have to be able to

turn themselves into a pretzel beforehand.” “We really encourage (the students) to take care of themselves and pay attention to their bodies,” she says. “We encourage water and for them to leave if they need to.” (Multiple websites also encourage people with heart conditions to talk with their doctors before beginning a hot yoga program.) And, of course, be prepared to sweat. I’ve been told before that I’m a good sweater and after walking into the Hot Hatha class, it takes me all of three minutes and 24 seconds to start feeling the beginnings of perspiration forming on my forehead. By 20 minutes in, and without exerting nearly the same energy as the students, drops are

falling onto my cameras. “Literally, you can hear your sweat hitting the mat,” Basore says. As the class winds down, the students have their backs to the ground, arms and legs slightly to the sides with palms facing up. Cuevas, who

is sitting closest to one of the heating elements, leads them through a short period of meditation. She shows nary a hint of perspiration. I, on the other hand, look as though I’ve run a marathon through a gauntlet of water cannons.

Stage an intervention for rude family members Dear Annie: I hope you can help with a problem that really has gotten out of hand in my family. I married into a large family over 30 years ago. I love them all like my own. The problem is that anytime there is a family gathering — be it a birthday party, a cookout or just watching a ballgame — several members of the family consistently insist on doing one or all of the following: O Bringing their uninvited guests to someone else’s home. Sometimes their guests show up before them. (’’Who are you?’’ ‘‘Oh, your cousin invited me.’’) O Eating as if they were starving. I mean going into the kitchen and helping themselves to food in the refrigerator. O My personal favorite: fixing ‘‘to-go plates’’

Dear Annie

right away, without regard to how many guests haven’t eaten and certainly without asking. Would you believe that? Fixing a plate ‘‘to go’’ before you’ve even eaten! I have told the guilty relatives how I feel about this, and it has fallen on deaf ears for years. I was taught that you always bring a contribution to a gathering unless the host lets you know that it isn’t necessary. My personal policy has been to bring a dish

Live TV events a rare breed Does anybody know what time it is? Today’s scheduled events from the Rio Olympics (6 p.m., NBC) include diving, gymnastics and swimming. Because Rio is only one hour ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, this marks the first Olympics since the 1996 Atlanta Games where vast time zone differences have not had a big effect on the live U.S. broadcast. Over those 20 years, many fans grew impatient having to pretend that they had not, or could not, look up the results on the internet. So it’s a little curious that we finally return to a live Olympics at a time when such broadcasts have lost their meaning for many viewers. Netflix and other streaming services have revolutionized what used to be called “television.” And on Netflix, nothing is live and the all-you-can-binge buffet is always open. As I have been saying for years, there is no now, now. Unless you count sports. Nobody wants to watch an NFL game a day later. And for bettors, even five minutes later. So with the Olympics, NBC has the corner on the biggest live broadcast in the world. At the same time, it is streaming 4,500 hours of competition, and no one expects anybody to watch all of that as it happens. It’s interesting to note that NBC is not airing Olympics coverage the next day via Hulu, as it does with regular programming. Is that because the network thinks nobody would watch it 24 hours later, like with “The Blacklist”? Or is it to protect its investment in exclusivity? Speaking of the difference between live TV and streaming, Hulu just announced that starting next year, it would offer live broadcasts of select networks, including TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network, truTV, Boomerang and Turner Classic Movies. This is clearly aimed at cord cutters who don’t have cable subscriptions. It adds yet another choice for those weighing their viewing options. Tonight’s other highlights O Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Ohio’s heroin crisis; a profile of Christopher Wheeldon; the bonobo, arguably man’s closest simian relative. O The Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers meet in the annual Hall of Fame Game (7 p.m., ESPN), the kickoff to preseason NFL football. O Elizabeth negotiates with India and Pakistan on “Madam Secretary” (8 p.m., CBS, TV14). O Hathaway reconnects with his dad on “Inspector Lewis” on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings). O Box tries to make sense of Naz’s actions on “The Night Of” (8 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

It exasperates me to no end when someone shows up at my house with four children and an additional guest — who herself brings two kids — and all they bring among the eight of them is one package of hot dogs. They all stuff themselves and leave with a plate for everyone. Mind you, I don’t leave containers out for the taking. The people to whom I am referring just make themselves at home and assume it’s OK. I have decided to go to the movies the next holiday and wait for an answer from you, as I am about to lose my temper with these folks. I have a nice home and plenty of space to entertain, and I love to have folks over, but this is out of

hand. Help me, please. Other family members feel the same as I do and don’t know how to deal with it, either. — Fed Up Dear Fed: It would be bad enough if children were behaving this way; that these are full-grown adults is flat-out ridiculous. It’s time for an intervention. Tap the support of the family members who feel the same way you do. Tell these rude relatives they can start behaving like civilized adults or they can stop coming to your house. When you married your husband, you signed up for being part of his large family — but you didn’t sign up for the role of a head chef at a pro bono buffet restaurant.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016: This year you depend on your ability to think through problems and find creative solutions. Be careful with money, even if you have a trusted adviser who handles your funds. There could be some confusion or a misunderstanding, so stay on top of your finances. If you are single, one person of interest could be quite controlling; think twice before you leap into this relationship. If you are attached, you could eliminate a lot of the stress between you and your sweetie by keeping separate checking accounts. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Even though you are assertive, you will bend to a partner’s will. Tonight: Be positive. Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ A mellower approach could help you deal with a power play. Tonight: Head to the gym, or take a brisk walk. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Your playfulness attracts quite a cast of characters. Tonight: Invite a loved one to dinner. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might opt to invite friends and family over for an early-Sunday dinner. Tonight: Your home is your castle. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ It is natural for you to put your best foot forward
