Topeka — Four Kansas Lawmakers went on record Monday opposing Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s proposal to cancel voter registration applications after 90 days if those voters do not submit proof of citizenship or other required information. Those statements came during a meeting of the Legislature’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations, which reviews proposed regulations, but does not have authority to veto them. “I want to record my opposition to this arbitrary and capricious 90-day rule,” said Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, Kobach who also raised new questions about whether the state’s proof-of-citizenship requirement is constitutional, in light of a recent federal appeals court opinion. Joining him were Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudea, of Wichita, and Rep. Tom Hawk, of Manhattan, both Democrats, and Republican Sen. Vicki Schmidt, of Topeka. Since January 2013, voters registering

discovered in approximately the last month. Henderson said the board and Farmer came to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mutual decisionâ&#x20AC;? that he would no longer serve as executive director of the food bank, which is the largest in the county. Farmer said the payroll tax mishap was part of the reason for the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of my oversight was to make sure those got paid, and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. Farmer said that since his one-year term as Lawrence mayor began in April, it has become more difficult for him to provide enough attention to Just Food operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has become increasingly clear that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give an organization like Just Food the attention that it needs,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. Farmer said he plans to continue his duties as mayor. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll now have more time to focus on several pressing city issues. Henderson said a review by the Just Food board has not turned up any signs that money had been misappropriated by Farmer. Rather, Henderson said it appears the payments just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like just a lack of attention to detail,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. Farmer also characterized the issue as a mishap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing was done intentionally,â&#x20AC;? Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just me not doing it right.â&#x20AC;? Henderson said the board and its accountant are working on payment options with the IRS. She said Just Food leaders are optimistic theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to pay off the tax liabilities without impacting the services they provide to hungry families and individuals in Douglas County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great board in place and a great interim executive director,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an incredible support base in the community. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m confident that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to resolve this and still provide great services to our clients.â&#x20AC;?

Allegation of past mismanagement Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past does include at least one other

allegation of financial mismanagement. In 2011, Amber Farmer sued for divorce from Jeremy Farmer while the couple lived in Arkansas. In a sworn deposition, Amber Farmer was asked why she and Jeremy Farmer separated. She said that Jeremy Farmer had been fired from a job for misappropriation of funds, and that had created trust issues in their relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trust has been an issue in our relationship,â&#x20AC;? Amber Farmer said in the 2011 deposition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am entering seminary this fall hoping to become a priest in the Episcopal Church. I learned that Jeremy had misappropriated funds and was fired from a job I helped him get through my friendship with a member of our church. Jeremy did not disclose this to me and did not admit to it until forced to. He had been accused previously of a similar thing in another job, but I believed him when he denied it. With the path I have chosen I cannot remain married to someone whom I cannot trust. This has caused me great emotional pain.â&#x20AC;? Attempts to reach Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-wife for further comment on Monday were unsuccessful. Jeremy Farmer said Monday his marriage to Amber Farmer ended for different reasons, but he declined to elaborate. He said the allegations of financial misappropriation have never been proven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go back to the fact that no matter what she said in an affidavit, no charges were filed from anywhere against me for anything,â&#x20AC;? Jeremy Farmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were other things going on in the course of our relationship. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m having a hard time just tossing her under the bus and causing her frustration.â&#x20AC;? Farmer said he only learned in the last several months that Amber Farmer had made allegations about misappropriated funds in the 2011 deposition. He said he waived his right to participate in the divorce proceedings because he had been given advice by a friend that the waiver would expedite the process. He said he got a copy of the divorce decree, but never saw the actual deposition

until conversations about its contents started to emerge in some political circles and on JournalWorld message boards earlier this year. Farmer said he could provide several character witnesses from his time in Arkansas to refute claims that he would misappropriate funds from an employer. The Journal-World, at Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion, did talk to a former pastor that employed Farmer at a Malvern, Ark., church. The pastor, Ronnie Brumley, who served as Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss at Lifepoint Church, said such alleged activity was not consistent with what he had seen from Farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never had any issues like that with Jeremy,â&#x20AC;? Brumley said. Officials at Just Food have not alleged any misappropriation of funds related to the unpaid taxes. Henderson said the organization had conducted a financial review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All dollars are present and accounted for,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. She said the board did find out about the deposition and its allegations recently, and discussed the matter with Farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when people are in a situation like a divorce, it is difficult,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two sides to every story. He told us that (the allegations) wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the truth, and we believed him.â&#x20AC;? Henderson said the 2011 deposition did not have a bearing on the decision to move forward with a new director. Keever steps into the role of interim executive director after having been at Just Food since 2013. She previously has overseen the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two annual fundraising programs and played a key role in expanding a Just Food program where it recovers unused food from local grocery stores, according to a press release from Just Food. Farmer was with Just Food for four years and was credited with creating programs to recover unused food from restaurants and grocery stores, the addition of cooking and gardening classes, and instituting several efficiencies in food distribution, the release stated.

Federal judge voids Kansas gay marriage ban Wichita (ap) — The Kansas ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional in the wake of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex unions nationwide, a federal judge ruled Monday. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree ruled that the provision in the Kansas constitution prohibiting marriage licenses to samesex couples or recognizing them violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That ruling also voids any Kansas statute, law, policy or practice that bars or fails

to recognize such unions. Kansas law has long defined marriage as between one man and one woman, and voters overwhelmingly supported amending the Kansas Constitution to ban gay marriage in 2005. The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas sued the state in October on behalf of two lesbian couples who were denied marriage licenses in Douglas County in northeast Kansas and in Sedgwick County in southcentral Kansas. Other samesex couples later joined the suit. In his 43-page order,

“

(Indeed) the U.S. Supreme Court decision matters here in Kansas too, and that the law of the land in all the other 49 states is also the law of the land here in Kansas.” — Micah Kubic, ACLU of Kansas executive director

Crabtree stopped short of issuing a permanent injunction in order to give Kansas the opportunity to voluntarily comply, as its attorneys have assured the court they will do. Crabtree wrote that some facts in the court record suggest Kansas officials have not

uniformly complied with the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 26 ruling. Crabtree gave the parties until Sept. 15 to make any further written submissions to the court as to whether the state has made good on the assurances it will comply.

The band is back

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s office emailed a brief statement attributed to its spokeswoman Eileen Hawley saying that the state “is complying with the requirements of the recent Supreme Court ruling.” ACLU of Kansas executive director Micah Kubic said the ruling means that “indeed the U.S. Supreme Court decision matters here in Kansas too, and that the law of the land in all the other 49 states is also the law of the land here in Kansas.” “It clears any of the remaining barriers that

exist to the Supreme Court’s decision being implemented here in the state because the Brownback administration has been very reluctant to do anything but the bare minimum,” Kubic said. Equality Kansas, which advocates for the rights of same-sex couples, contends it is still getting reports that some couples are having difficulties getting names changed on driver’s licenses or filing joint tax returns, and is still waiting to see how the state handles gay and lesbian couples seeking to care for foster children.

omebody may have had too much fun at the Sandbar’s block party this weekend. Just before 1 a.m. Saturday, Sandbar employees called police after a patron allegedly fled the bar after failing to pay his $137 bar tab, Lawrence police Sgt. Trent McKinley told me Monday. Employees and others chased the man to Eighth and Massachusetts streets, where they stopped him and got him to return to pay for his drinks, McKinley said. After he did so, he tried to run off again but was “immediately captured,” McKinley said. The man then allegedly decided that he would actually try to pay the tab. He offered the bar three different credit cards to do so, McKinley said, but all were declined. That’s when — you guessed it — he tried to run again. He made it again to Eighth and Massachusetts streets, but was caught and turned over to police, McKinley said. He was arrested on an unrelated outstanding warrant, and police issued him a notice to appear in court on suspicion of theft.

Two people apparently decided to take a nearly naked private plunge in the public pool early Friday morning. Around 4:50 a.m., a lifeguard arrived for work and found two “very intoxicated individuals” swimming in their scanties at the city pool, 727 Kentucky St., McKinley said. The lifeguard called dispatch, and officers responded, issuing the two swimmers notices to appear in court on suspicion of trespassing. — This is an excerpt from Lights & Sirens, ljworld.com/lights-sirens, a public safety blog by reporter Caitlin Doornbos.

Haskell Indian Nations University maintains its accreditation By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

After this year’s comprehensive review by its accrediting body, Haskell Indian Nations University will maintain its accredited status, the university announced Monday. The Higher Learning Commission, the organization charged with accrediting Haskell as well as Kansas University, reaffirmed Haskell’s accredited status, which

Haskell has maintained since 1979. Higher Learning Commission evaluators visited the Haskell campus in April for the university’s 10-year review. The visit followed an exhaustive self-study process in which Haskell identified strengths, weaknesses and plans for improvement. Especially after several years of high turnover in the president’s office, that process came at a good time for

Haskell, leaders have said. In the five years prior to President Venida Chenault’s inauguration in 2014, Haskell was led by more acting presidents than permanent ones. Since taking office, Chenault has led sweep-ups of a number of undone initiatives, including updating the school’s mission and vision statements and updating the school’s strategic plan, Haskell 2020, after Haskell had been without one for five years. Chenault thanked Haskell

employees and students and Lawrence community members who participated in the Higher Learning Commission’s reaccreditation process and campus visit. “When we bundle our commitment together, we can accomplish much for tribal students seeking to realize their dreams and potential through higher education,” Chenault said in a news release. As an ongoing part of the process, the university will

prepare and provide an interim report on a revised policy on assignment of credit hours to the Higher Learning Commission in July 2017, according to Haskell. Haskell, which is open only to members of federally recognized Indian tribes, has 721 full-time students, according to the university’s Higher Learning Commission profile. Haskell offers four bachelor’s degrees and 13 associate’s degrees.

School CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We’ll make it as painless as we can, but there could be some (teacher) movement at the very last minute,” Doll said, noting that shifting teachers to where additional students are instead of just hiring another teacher will help the district reduce costs. In the past, as Doll explained following the meeting, if one school in the district had an increase in enrollment, the district would just hire a new teacher to account for it, but this year another option is to instead transfer a teacher from a different school. The strategy is part of a school board proposal approved in May to cut and reallocate more than $1.2 million in the district’s budget following changes in state aid. In March, the Kansas Legislature repealed the school finance system that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it with block grants for the next two years, during which time legislators will put together a new funding formula. The new system did away with the per-pupil funding formula, which also included various weightings that provided more money for different categories of students, such as lowincome or bilingual students. A lawsuit alleging the law is unconstitutional is pending. “When you got to cut $1.2 million, you try to make the cuts as painlessly as possible,” Doll told the school board. As part of Monday’s meeting, the school board approved its budget for the upcoming school year, which includes the first increase in the school district’s property tax rate in five years. Under the district’s 2015-16 budget, the rate will go up by 1.602 mills, from 55.752 mills to 57.354 mills. For the owner of a home valued at $160,000, that increases the property tax by about $30 per year. The property tax increase offsets some of the state aid lost after the recent changes to the funding formula, said Kathy Johnson, director of finance for the district. “The only way to make up for the revenue loss that the state took away is through local taxes,” Johnson told the school board. A public hearing meant to give the community a chance to comment on the budget preceded the school board’s approval of the budget, but no members of the public were present. Johnson also reminded school board members that though the district’s general fund shows a significant increase in state funding, it is primarily due to pass-through amounts, such as money for KPERS, the state pension plan, that are not available for operating expenses. School board member Shannon Kimball said another concern is a proposed Westar rate increase. Kimball said that based on what the district spent on electricity last year, the increase would mean that the district would be spending about $65,000 more per year for the same usage. “To insist that we should be able to operate on flat funding is not logical,” Kimball said, noting the rate increase as an example of an increased cost that the district may have to account for in the next two years while the block grant is in place. The final budget document will be published in a report to the county and the Kansas State Department of Education on Aug. 25.

Man found guilty in robbery at fishing lake By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 23-year-old Wellsville man was found guilty Friday of one count of aggravated robbery in connection with an incident at Douglas State Fishing Lake. Donnie Ray Michael Plouffe pleaded no contest to the charge Friday in a deal with the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutor Eve Kemple agreed to

dismiss Plouffe’s aggravated battery charge after he entered his plea, according to court records. Plouffe was arrested after a 32-year-old man reported he’d been “struck several times and had property stolen” between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. June 24, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said at the time. The stolen property is listed in court records as a backpack and its contents.

Man faces 6 charges after KBI encounter By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 23-year-old Lawrence man faces six charges Monday after an alleged weekend confrontation with Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents. About 7 p.m. Friday, KBI agents said they noticed Shaunte James Russell driving erratically in the area of Sixth and Maine streets, where they were conducting an unrelated investigation, said Frank Papish, assistant director of the KBI. Russell used his vehicle against an agent’s vehicle in an aggressive way, Papish said, and during Russell’s arrest drugs were found in his vehicle. Russell’s 1-yearold son was also in the vehicle. He was arrested, and spent his 23rd birthday on Saturday in jail. On Monday, prosecutors charged Russell with aggravated child endangerment, possession of

drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana after a previous conviction, reckless driving and two counts of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. If convicted of all charges, Russell could be sentenced to more than 16 years in prison, depending on his criminal history. A Douglas County district judge had set a $10,000 bond for Russell following his arrest, but prosecutors asked Judge Pro Tem James George to raise it to $20,000. After Russell pleaded with George to keep the amount at $10,000, George agreed. “Very seldom do I raise (bonds) when somebody is here who already can’t make it,” George said. Russell is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday. He remains in the Douglas County Jail. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office declined to release Russell’s booking photo.

The victim made the report from an apartment in Baldwin City, Dymacek said, and responding officers found him with “several large lacerations.” He was taken for treatment to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and released the same day. Plouffe allegedly committed the crime with a gun. For that reason, the state requested a $50,000 bond. He has remained in the Douglas County Jail since his arrest.

Two weeks ago, the district attorney’s office charged a second person, 23-year-old Baldwin City resident Breanna Denise Parsons, with aggravated battery and aggravated robbery in connection with the incident. Dymacek said last month that after investigating further, the sheriff’s office had reason to believe Parsons “also participated with Plouffe in the incident,” and a judge signed a probable cause

warrant for her arrest. She was apprehended July 27 and booked into the Douglas County Jail on a $25,000 bond. She was released from jail Saturday after posting bail. Plouffe is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 11. Parsons is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on Aug. 17. — Reporter Caitlin Doornbos can be reached at 813-7146 or cvdoornbos@ljworld.com.

BRIEFLY No arrest made in reported rape Lawrence police conducted an investigation this weekend after a woman reported she was raped Friday evening outside of a Lawrence hotel, Lawrence Police Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday. The woman told police that she knew the man “for a very short period of time” prior to the alleged attack, McKinley said. The incident was reported at 6:45 p.m. Friday. McKinley declined to release the name of the hotel near where the incident is alleged to have occurred. He said that in most rape cases, specific locations are withheld because providing the location could lead to the identification of the victim or suspect. Officers interviewed the woman and the suspect following the report, but an arrest was not made, McKinley said. Both parties were allegedly intoxicated, making the case “very difficult to investigate,” he said. “At this point, what actually occurred is unclear,” McKinley said.

Police have forwarded the information to the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges will be brought, McKinley said.

Lenexa man charged in lake disturbance CALL NOW & SAVE UP TO 84% By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 20-year-old Lenexa man was charged Monday with three counts of criminal threat and three counts of criminal restraint following an incident at Douglas State Fishing Lake Saturday morning. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested Dakota Alexander Johnson after responding around 2:30 a.m. to a report of a disturbance at the lake, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said Saturday. Charging documents allege that Johnson threatened “to commit violence” against three men with the “intent to place (them) in fear.” They also indicate that Johnson illegally restrained the three men “to interfere substantially with (their) liberty.” When deputies arrived at the scene, Johnson was reportedly seen leaving the area in a pickup truck and didn’t initially pull over when deputies attempted to stop him, Dymacek said. A pursuit of a few minutes ensued, after which Johnson was taken into custody, Dymacek said. She did not provide further details about the incident Saturday, as the investigation is ongoing. At his first court appearance Monday, Johnson declared his innocence. “I think I’m the only

suspect in this case and I’m being wrongfully charged,” Johnson told the court. Douglas County Judge Pro Tem James George set Johnson’s bond at $20,000 on Monday. If Johnson makes bond, he is not allowed to contact the alleged victims or return to Douglas State Fishing Lake. Johnson is scheduled to appear next in court on Thursday. He remains in the Douglas County Jail. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office declined to release Johnson’s booking photo.

Leaders’ legacies

Is U.S. strategy against ISIS working? By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Kansas University has lost two notable former leaders who left a lasting mark on the university.

he recent deaths of former Chancellor Robert Hemenway and longtime coach Bob Timmons mark the loss of two leaders who had a significant and long-lasting impact on Kansas University and its students. At a Sunday memorial, Hemenway was remembered as a “teaching chancellor” who continued to teach English and American studies classes throughout his 14-year tenure as KU’s top executive. Whether he was trading places for a day with a student or trying to traverse the KU campus in a wheelchair to observe first-hand the obstacles faced by students with disabilities, he worked hard to understand the needs of those the university serves. Some of Hemenway’s most lasting contributions were made in connection with the KU Medical Center. He led the effort to remove the KU Hospital from direct state oversight, a move that helped set the stage for major advancements at the hospital. He also set the groundwork for the designation in 2012 of KU’s Cancer Center as a National Cancer Institute facility, a huge achievement for KU and the state. Hemenway’s research and writing about Zora Neale Hurston has been credited with renewing interest not only in Hurston but also in the work of other writers of the Harlem Renaissance. He was a big supporter of KU athletics, and during his tenure, the KU men’s basketball team won a national championship and the football team brought home the Orange Bowl trophy. Coach Timmons made his mark even more directly in Kansas athletics. He joined the KU track team’s coaching staff in 1964 and became head coach in 1966. He led the Jayhawk track team to 13 Big Eight indoor titles and 14 outdoor championships before his retirement in 1988. During that time he coached several Olympic athletes, including runner Jim Ryun. After his retirement, Timmons developed the Rim Rock Farm cross country course on his property in Jefferson County. In 2005, he and his wife, Pat, donated the course, perhaps the best in the country, to KU. Coach Timmons was known for his attention to detail and his commitment to using college athletics as a character-building and educational tool. Both Hemenway and Timmons will be remembered for their interest in students and their dedication to KU, and their leadership leaves a lasting legacy for the university.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 11, 1915: “Although Mayor W. J. Francisco says that he likes to see all the years boys and girls in Lawrence have ago a good time, still he thinks that IN 1915 when they select the bridge at the end of Massachusetts street as a place to spoon, they are not only showing bad taste, but impeding the traffic. The Mayor says that he has received several complaints from the bridge watchman, who is employed by the city, to the effect that pedestrians are not keeping to the walk on the west side of the bridge… ‘And the watchman says that there is a lot of spooning going on there, too,’ the Mayor told the board of city commissioners at their meeting yesterday, ‘and he wants to know how he is going to stop it.’” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

One year ago this weekend, President Obama launched airstrikes in Iraq to prevent the insurgent armies of ISIS from advancing to the gates of Baghdad and conquering the country. Within weeks, American aircraft began bombing ISIS’ bases in neighboring Syria, too, and Obama declared his war aims: “to degrade and ultimately destroy” the militant group. A year later, who’s winning the war? The answer depends on whom you ask. “ISIS is losing,” the Obama administration’s diplomatic point man, retired Marine Gen. John Allen, said at an Aspen Institute conference last month. “We’ve seen, I think, some significant progress.” “Obviously, ISIS is winning,” Sen. John McCain, RAriz., a frequent critic of the administration, said in a Senate hearing last month. “Iraqis can’t do it themselves. That’s why they’re losing.” “I believe they are in a stalemate,” the incoming commandant of the Marine Corps, Lt. Gen. Robert B. Neller, replied. The U.S. air campaign “has stemmed the tide for ISIS, but it is not removing them from Iraq, so it is not succeeding right now,” he said. On the surface, Neller’s cautious assessment — that the war has settled into at least a temporary stalemate, with ISIS still holding most of the territory it seized last

“

On the surface, Neller’s cautious assessment — that the war has settled into at least a temporary stalemate, with ISIS still holding most of the territory it seized last year — appears closest to the truth.” year — appears closest to the truth. Both sides have suffered reversals. ISIS has lost about 10 percent of the land it held at its peak, including the city of Tikrit in central Iraq and a swath of land taken by Kurdish forces in northern Syria. But ISIS stunned the Iraqi army in May by seizing the provincial capital of Ramadi, only 60 miles west of Baghdad. And last week, a U.S. effort to send newly trained Syrian rebels into the fight had an inauspicious start when the fighters were immediately attacked and scattered by an al-Qaida offshoot. Officials insist, however, that momentum is shifting subtly against ISIS. After a year in which signs of progress have been unreliable, they’re reluctant to sound too optimistic in public. But they point to several changes for the better. U.S. military commanders say the Iraqi army is slowly

advancing on Ramadi, whose loss was a major embarrassment for the Baghdad government. The force includes about 500 Sunni Muslim tribal fighters trained by U.S. advisers, a critically important factor in an area whose predominantly Sunni population distrusts the Shiite-dominated army. Meanwhile, Turkey’s decision to seal its border with Syria should make it more difficult for ISIS to access supplies and recruits. The Turks have also joined the U.S.-led air war, and agreed to help push ISIS at least 20 miles back from the border, creating a de facto “safe zone” for Syrian rebels and refugees. If that scheme works, it would make it more difficult for ISIS recruits from other countries to reach the battle zone. It would also create an area where “moderate” Syrian rebels, those unaffiliated with either ISIS or al-Qaida, could base and train — even, perhaps, set up a provisional government. In assessing progress, remember, too, that there’s more to this war than meets the eye. One aspect that gets little attention: Clandestine raids carried out by the U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations Command. In May, American troops landed briefly in eastern Syria and killed an ISIS leader, Abu Sayyaf, who ran some of the group’s financial operations. This was the only such raid

that the White House has acknowledged, but there have been more in both Syria and Iraq, and they are said to be disrupting ISIS’ leadership. Whatever progress has occurred has been slow, a product, in part, of restrictions Obama has imposed to ensure that local forces, not Americans, take responsibility for ground combat. In Iraq, for example, the 3,550 American advisors are prohibited from accompanying Iraqi forces into battle zones or acting as forward spotters for airstrikes, a restriction that some other countries in the coalition, including Canada, don’t observe as strictly. McCain and other Republican critics have long complained that Obama’s “light footprint” policy has made it impossible to win. Some Democrats agree, too: Last week, Michele Flournoy, a former top official in Obama’s Pentagon, cowrote a report charging that the effort has been “underresourced” and proposing that advisors be allowed to operate closer to combat. Obama and his aides have rebuffed those suggestions, and say their strategy is already working. Are they right? The answer should become more clear in the next few months. — Doyle McManus is a columnist for the Los Angeles Times. His email address is doyle.mcmanus@ latimes.com.

Youthful talent

Conservatives take aim at debate Twenty-four million people tuned in to watch the first primetime debate among 10 Republican presidential candidates. What were they expecting, a love-in? Some conservative critics dumped on Fox News with a vitriol usually reserved for liberal media. David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network said Fox (where I appear as a commentator) should be “utterly ashamed,” calling the questions asked of Donald Trump “unethical and downright nasty.” “Shame” was a word frequently used by critics of Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace. Rush Limbaugh was slightly more restrained. Limbaugh objected to the “war on women” question asked by Kelly of Donald Trump. Limbaugh said the “war on women” is a Democratic construct and is the kind of question one might expect from the “driveby media,” as he calls the rest of the journalistic pack. Liberals, like New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, praised the questions asked by the panelists, which will likely further anger conservatives. While every viewer probably had questions they wish had been asked, overall I thought the panel’s choices were fine. The Baier question about whether all the candidates would support the nominee exposed Trump as some-

thing less than a party loyalist. He wouldn’t say when he had become a Republican after many years as a Democrat, and his contributions to Democratic politicians, including Hillary Clinton, which he said were necessary in order to do business in New York, might sound to some like influencebuying. Alexandra Petri of the delightfully named Washington Post blog, “Compost,” wrote that Kelly’s “God question” (from a Facebook participant) was not the kind “that (belongs) on a stage with this kind of stakes.” Yes it does, because several of the candidates are openly Christian and often invoke religious language in support of their political positions. As one with some experience in responding to aggressive questioning from liberal TV and radio interrogators, here are some suggestions for the candidates should these questions come up again. The real war on women is an economy that has left a record 93 million people out of the labor force; 56 million of these non-workers

are women, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The war on women is also about the 56 million aborted babies who will never have a chance at life thanks to the lies Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers tell women about their babies. The candidate could praise alternative pregnancy help centers where women who have unplanned pregnancies receive help and support and those who have had abortions can experience healing. A candidate might also respond to the “God question” by saying the belief that God favors America or Americans over other countries and people is idolatry. As the prophet Isaiah said, God sees all nations “like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales” (Isaiah 40:15). That should cause candidates to reconsider Abraham Lincoln’s line about it being more important that America is on God’s side, than God being on America’s side. Liberals praising the Fox panel should encourage panelists at the Democratic debates to follow that network’s example and ask tough questions of those candidates, especially Hillary Clinton. But after eight years of the media mostly worshipping President Barack Obama, I’m doubtful that will happen. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

To the editor: It is sad to think we have these wonderful youth-oriented events in our community and yet no reviews, comments or praise have been given by our local newspaper. This summer was a production from a Broadway show, “Avenue Q,” put on by our own young senior-level dancers and actors at the Lawrence Art Center. It was professionally done, featured young people with incredible talent and spirit and was a tribute to that talent and our community’s arts and cultural venues. Yet nary a word, that I saw, except as part of the daily calendar notices. Then we had another group of incredible, talented youngsters who spent time in Japan as part of Lawrence’s Sister City program. Then a reciprocal visit by the Japanese youth, who came to Lawrence to spend a week, and all we heard (although they were great pictures) was a blurb on what they liked best about Lawrence and Kansas. There could have been a great article about each of those visits for the community to read and learn about the value of these student exchanges and the young people who represent our city. Our paper missed several great opportunities to honor our youth. Instead we get paragraphs of comment on the newest burger/pizza/ burrito eatery in town. How sad. Joleen Bechtel, Lawrence

2 to 3 inches of rain fell since Friday Between 2 and 3 inches of rain fell on Lawrence since Friday, said Emily Heller of the National Weather Service in Topeka. A more exact measurement was not available because of a malfunction with the rain gauges. Thunderstorms moved through the area Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Heller said. Since June 1, the start of the summer season, Lawrence has had 14.02 inches of rain, which is 3.37 inches above normal and doesn’t include the rain since Friday, Heller said. Since the beginning of the year, the area has seen 28.3 inches, which is 3.76 inches above normal.

against all the free food that lobbyists serve up to lawmakers. “It takes customers to keep this thing going,” he said. “When 90 percent of the people get in the free food line and get free food, that affects my sales.” Wistuba, who is blind, began operating a snack bar in a state office building near the Capitol in 1974. But that building was later torn down, and he was relocated to the Statehouse in May 1976. Under a 1936 federal law known as the Randolph Sheppard Act, blind individuals are given first priority in the operation of vending facilities in federal, state and even some local government buildings. Gov. Sam Brownback, who has become close friends with Wistuba since taking office in 2011, said he was disappointed to hear the news, and he acknowledged that the amount of free food being given out to legislators has increased in recent years. Brownback said he hopes to find some other option, such as relocating the snack bar, before Wistuba closes for good. But Wistuba said even with the increased business during legislative ses-

sions, there is no longer the kind of foot traffic in the Statehouse during the rest of the year that there was when he first started. “When I started here at the Statehouse, they had the secretary of state’s office here in this building year-round, the attorney general’s office, the budget office, Supreme Court personnel. I mean, this building was packed full of people year-round,” Wistuba said. “And I had enough business that I could pay somebody to be with me all day long. And then when they started moving everybody out to make room for House and Senate members, I had to start making adjustments,” he said. The Supreme Court and all of its personnel moved out of the building when the Kansas Judicial Center opened across the street to the south of the Statehouse in 1978. Other state agencies were moved out of the building starting in the 1990s to provide more space for legislative committee rooms. Today, the governor’s office is the only nonlegislative state agency still located in the Statehouse. Wistuba said he hasn’t decided what he’ll do after closing the snack bar. “Just asking for God’s direction on what the next step is, you know,” he said. “There’ll be a lot of prayer in trying to figure out what the next step is.”

sion plans to hold hearings starting in January to look into whether Kansas’ laws — including one that also requires voters to show photo identification at the polls — are suppressing voter turnout. And in Texas, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that Texas’ photo ID law can be struck down if it is shown to have a discriminatory impact, regardless of whether the law was enacted with discriminatory intent. An analysis last fall by the Journal-World of registrations held in suspense at that time showed that the law had a disproportionate impact on young voters and voters in lowincome neighborhoods. But Caskey said attorneys in the secretary of state’s office are confident that Kansas’ laws would withstand a constitutional challenge. The secretary of state’s office will hold a public hearing on the proposed change Sept. 2 in Topeka. After that, Kobach can either amend the proposed regulation or finalize it by publishing it in the Kansas Register.

for the first time in their county have been required to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to complete their registrations. During the 2014 midterm elections, more than 23,000 Kansans who had attempted to register since that law took effect were unable to vote because their registrations were held “in suspense” because they had not provided the required documents. According to Kobach’s office, that number now stands at more than 31,000 would-be voters. Bryan Caskey, who heads the elections division in Kobach’s office, said efforts have been made to reach those voters, but many of them have either moved or have not responded to follow-up letters and phone calls. “It’s been my experience as an administrator that if a person doesn’t respond to repeated, repeated contacts pretty quickly, they’re not going to respond,” Caskey said. “There are other states, Arizona and Geor-

gia, which have similar proof-of-citizenship laws that give their applicants 30 days. We thought that was too narrow, so we went with 90 days.” Caskey said the 90-day rule would relieve county election offices of the burden of continuing to reach those people long after it has become clear they don’t want to complete their registrations. But Ward said it could take longer than 90 days for people born in other states to obtain a birth certificate, and for many low-income individuals the cost of doing so might be prohibitive. Ward said he might be able to accept the 90-day rule, “if there was some criteria other than, ‘it’s convenient for us and we think this is fair,’ but now it looks like you just want to do this so you don’t have me on television as much as I can, telling you that you’ve got 31,000 people who are not able to vote because of this voter ID law.” Kobach’s proposal comes at a time when restrictive voting laws in several states are coming under renewed scrutiny.

St. Louis County Police stand guard after officers and a suspect exchanged fire on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s death.

STATE OF EMERGENCY DECLARED IN FERGUSON A year after fatal shooting, protests turn violent again Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

FERGUSON, MO. St. Louis County declared a state of emergency Monday after protests turned violent and 56 people were arrested during the anniversary of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. “In light of last night’s violence and unrest in the city of Ferguson, and the potential for harm to persons and property, I am exercising my authority as county executive to issue a state of emergency effective immediately,” executive Steve Stenger said. “The recent acts of violence will not be tolerated in a community

that has worked so tirelessly over the last year to rebuild and become stronger.” St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar is immediately taking control of policing in Ferguson. Police in St. Louis on Monday arrested dozens of people during protests outside the Thomas F. Eagleton Courthouse. The demonstrations were part of events dubbed #MoralMonday. Clergy members prayed in front of the building and spread oil on it, saying they were anointing it. Author and activist Cornel West, along with several prominent protesters including DeRay McKesson, 30, and Johnetta Elzie, 26, were arrested. The demonstration was part of a move by clergy members to purposefully be detained by police. West and others jumped over metal barricades around the building and walked toward offi-

cers guarding it. The protestors sat in front of the building’s entrance and police surrounded the group. Moments later, police began ordering people behind the barricades. They arrested anyone who didn’t comply. Overnight in Ferguson, at least three people were shot and four arrested as peaceful Sunday protests became violent. Belmar said at a 3:30 a.m. news conference that one suspect who was shot by police is in “critical, unstable” condition in a local hospital and undergoing surgery. Belmar said that after a shootout between at least six people, the suspect ran away but then shot at police who were chasing him in an unmarked vehicle with emergency lights flashing. Four detectives got out of their car and shot at the suspect, hitting him several times, according to police. All four officers have been placed

on administrative leave. “There is a small group of people out there who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace that prevails,” Belmar said. “That’s just the bottom line on this and that’s just unfortunate. … We can’t afford to have this kind of violence.” Moments after the shots were fired, a young woman screamed, “They shot my brother.” St. Louis County Police identified him as Tyrone Harris Jr., of St. Louis. Police charged Harris, 18, with four counts of assault on law enforcement in the first degree, five counts of armed criminal action, and one count of discharging or shooting a firearm at a motor vehicle. Harris, who remained hospitalized and in critical condition, was being held on a $250,000 cash bond Contributing: Kevin Johnson, Sam Clancy, KSDK-TV in St. Louis

Forests grapple with 8,500 gun incidents Unclear how many shootings tied to hunting

CASTLE ROCK , COLO.

Perched around a secluded campfire in the Rocky Mountains, Glenn Martin jerked forward, said, “Ow,” and died. The wayward bullet that struck him in the national forest has campers and other users calling for changes in recreational shooting policy.

the record for the most gun-related violations reported in the country, a review of federal records by the USA TODAY Media Network shows. Since 2010, United States Forest Service officers handled 8,500 shooting incidents across the country. Of those, 926 were in the Pike-San Isabel. The reported illegal shooting has intensified precipitously in recent years. “You never know when you’re going to go; you could be sitting at a campfire waiting to roast marshmallows with your grandchildren,” Martin’s daughter Car-

lie Cordova said at a news conference. “We didn’t know what happened. We thought he was stung by a bee or had a heart attack.” Earlier in the day, Martin’s family reported hearing shots to park rangers. The report was similar to 3,000 others since 2010 nationwide in which a violator was not identified or found in the vast forestlands.

At PGA tourney, Tiger Woods is the old man and the tee Young stars dominate amid Tiger’s struggles Steve DiMeglio @Steve_DiMeglio USA TODAY Sports

SHEBOYGAN, WIS . Tiger Woods is lonely these days on the golf course. He’s feeling a bit old, too, and not just because of the cranky, arthritic knee, a surgically repaired back, a variety of aches and pains and a receding hairline. He’s feeling old at 39 and isolated, because everywhere he looks he sees kids.

A wave of youngsters has energized professional golf, starting with the game’s top-ranked players: No. 1 Rory McIlroy, the big kid on the block at 26 who has four major titles; and No. 2 Jordan Spieth, the 22-year-old from Texas who won the Masters and U.S. Open this year. When the 97th PGA Championship opens Thursday at Whistling Straits, 27 of the 156 players in the field will be 27 or younger. “This is the next generation,” said Woods, who has won 14 majors but is ranked No. 262 and last won a tournament in August 2013. “I’m kind of caught right in between. This is the generation

“You see all these new fresh faces, and you look down the range, you don’t recognize a lot of the guys.”

Tiger Woods, on the younger generation

You see all these new fresh faces, and you look down the range, you don’t recognize a lot of the guys. But I go watch a Champions Tour event, I know every guy.” Woods, who won his first ca-

reer major title at the Masters in 1997 when Spieth was 3, made the game cool, and that helped lure many of today’s top players. The new generation also followed Woods’ lead into the weight room, listened as he and others talked about proper diets and benefited from top-flight junior programs as golf grew in popularity thanks to Woods’ dominance from 1997 to 2008. “They’re a little bit more seasoned,” Woods said. “They’ve got plenty of experience. “When they come out here, it’s not really a big learning curve. They can go out and play right away.”

VOICES

Democrats foolishly purge U.S. heroes Ross K. Baker

Special for USA TODAY

There is an awkward term used in academic circles to describe the application of contemporary moral standards to people who lived long ago. It’s called “presentism,” and it mercilessly subjects history and historical figures to contemporary social enlightenment. It is smug and self-satisfied and pats itself on the back for its own highmindedness, but it is ignorant of context and erects impossibly high obstacles to which virtually no major figure can measure up. Certainly no one who had to endure the give-and-take of politics and the chore of dealing with people with whom they did not agree. Even the incomparable George Washington owned slaves. Perhaps the renaming of our capital should be the next target of the party leaders in the states where this cleansing ritual is taking place. I don’t know who would buy tickets to the Elijah P. Lovejoy dinner. He was an admirable journalist who suffered for his advocacy of emancipation. John Quincy Adams, our sixth president, would probably make the cut, but he would inevitably be confused with his father, our second president. The only prominent Americans of the 19th century with clean hands in the matter of slavery are probably Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. And they were almost certainly not associated with the Democratic Party, which, let’s face it, was then the party of slavery.

The Democratic Party has turned into the Church of Perpetual Repentance. The occasion is the annual Jefferson-Jackson dinners, long held by Democrats in each state to raise money and fire up the troops. The name honors Thomas Jefferson, who founded the party, and Andrew Jackson, who redefined it by wresting control from the hands of the East Coast oligarchy that had come to dominate it. But these credentials are evidently not strong enough to retain their names at the party events in Missouri, Connecticut, Georgia and others sure to follow. Jefferson, as all schoolchildren know, was a slaveholder, and Jackson was a Native American-slaughtering apologist for the enslavement of African Americans. This action follows hard on the heels of the demotion of the Confederate battle flag to justifiable exile in dusty museums. But Jefferson and Jackson are not the rebel flag, a symbol of treason as well as slavery. True, neither Jefferson nor Jackson could rise above prejudices of their day, but they are too important as historical figures and central to the evolution of the Democratic Party to be banished and, by implication, disgraced. Who could possibly get through the vetting process of the Democratic activists passionate about purging the party

of any individual who could possibly be offensive to anyone? Franklin Roosevelt, who presided over the internment of Japanese Americans? Harry Truman, who used the atomic bomb on civilians? Woodrow Wilson, who acclaimed D.W. Griffith’s racist Birth of a Nation movie at a White House screening? They would end up with admirable but obscure figures who, perhaps, deserved to be honored. Any prominent figure in 19thcentury American politics would be unlikely to earn naming rights. Even “the Great Emancipator” Abraham Lincoln, who happened to be a Republican,

triation” of African Americans to a spot on the coast of West Africa that was not native to most of them. He also favored sending blacks to Central America. Who, by our contemporary lofty standards, is unblemished? Perhaps a handful of virtuous Quakers in Pennsylvania and New Jersey who abhorred slavery as a principal tenet of their faith or, perhaps, Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, who was beaten senseless on the floor of the U.S. Senate in 1856 by a Southerner enraged at Sumner’s eloquent tirades against slavery. Sorry, Sumner was also a Republican.

forests in Arizona each had more than 500 gunfire incidents since 2010. Officers field reports and issue warnings about three times as often as writing actual tickets. Those 2,272 citations usually resulted in fines of between $100 and $400, even though incidents can lead to a $5,000 fine and six months of jail time. Martin’s case remains unsolved. Douglas County Sherriff’s tested five volunteered rifles since the incident to rule out shooters. None has matched the bullet that killed Martin, said Sgt. Ron Hanavan, the department’s spokesman, who stressed the case is “very much open and active.” It’s unclear how many incidents are related to hunting, because the Forest Service does not distinguish firearm violations. The agency doesn’t track injuries or deaths related to guns in forests, said Denise Ottaviano, a national Forest Service spokeswoman. Shooting and hunting are largely allowed across the 190 million acres that make up the U.S. Forest Service — roughly the size of Texas. In recent years, closures of some areas have pushed shooters to illegal areas, said Erin Connelly, supervisor of

the Pike National Forest. In August, a string of incidents prompted the closure of an area just east of where Martin was killed. A couple’s Jeep was struck by a bullet while they ate lunch inside. She attributes the shooting issues to the proximity to the major metro areas Denver and Colorado Springs, with droves of gun enthusiasts. Three law enforcement officers patrol the vast forest. “We’ve heard the concerns about shooting, and what we’ve done is implore folks to make sure they know how to use their firearm and what their target is and what’s beyond,” Connelly said. “Recreational sports shooting and its impacts have been an issue we’ve looked at intensely

since the 1980s. There’s no easy answer, but we’re exploring how we can allow use on public land and not let this happen again.” Camping or hiking comes with the nervous sound of ricochets and gunshot echoes, said Mel Bernstein, of Colorado Springs who owns a public shooting range. “It’s getting ridiculous. It’s a shooting gallery up there,” Bernstein said. “No one I know would hike or camp there with bullets that go 3 miles. The Forest Service needs more rangers, but it’s a real mess.” Just north of Denver in the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forest, 374 incidents have been reported since 2010. Rangers there are wrestling

IN BRIEF ZIMBABWE QUICKLY LIFTS TROPHY HUNTING BAN

Zimbabwe lifted its ban on hunting lions, leopards and elephants less than 10 days after news of the killing of Cecil the lion caused an international outcry, media reports said. Zimbabwe officials announced the ban in areas outside of Hwange at the beginning of August after the big cat was killed by Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer near the Hwange National Park a month before. South African website News 24 and other media said the nationwide ban was lifted Monday, but a ban is still in force in a limited area, including on the farm where Cecil was killed and on another farm where a second lion was hunted. — Jane Onyanga-Omara VERDICT EXPECTED FOR ‘POST’ REPORTER HELD IN IRAN

with the same questions — and are shaping a new policy on target-practice shooting in designated areas — which might include berms and other safety measures. The National Rifle Association issued an alert to members in May to oppose closures. The alert suggested 80% of the forest is “suitable for shooting.” The organization is in favor of keeping options open for responsible shooters, said Lars Dalseide, a spokesman for the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action. “Recreational shooting has the lowest injury and death rate of any recreational activity on national forest land,” Dalseide said. “(That includes) swimming, boating, hiking, off-road vehicles, etc.” Nationally, Forest Service administrators say several factors can contribute to variations in shooting issues from forest to forest, including enforcement policies. There are sufficient “regulatory tools” across the network of forests to mitigate shooting risks, said Ottaviano, the national Forest Service spokeswoman. “Despite this isolated activity, recreationists should feel safe visiting any national forest,” she said.

12 people have died of Legionnaires’ disease in the South Bronx since the outbreak began on July 10.

NATION/WORLD LYNCH BLASTS UNREST IN FERGUSON

‘FEELS LIKE AUGUST 2014 ALL OVER AGAIN’

Attorney general tries to build trust in law enforcement Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s appearance Monday at the national conference of the Fraternal Order of Police was designed to be another effort to rally public trust in local law enforcement following a crippling year of racially charged violence that has prompted unsettling questions about police tactics. Yet before Lynch could address the GETTY IMAGES largest police Loretta Lynch union in the country gathered in Pittsburgh, she was forced to condemn another eruption of civil unrest in the place where the crisis engulfing American policing began one year ago: Ferguson, Mo. “The weekend’s events were peaceful and promoted a message of reconciliation and healing,” Lynch told conference delegates, referring to the early calm that marked the somber anniversary of last August’s deadly police encounter between a white officer and black teenager. “But incidents of violence, such as we saw last night, are contrary to both that message along with everything that all of us, including this group, have worked to achieve over the past year.”

“Incidents of violence, such as we saw last night, are contrary to ... everything that all of us, including this group, have worked to achieve over the past year.” Attorney General Loretta Lynch at the national conference of the Fraternal Order of Police

Indeed, the violence overnight Sunday in which three people were wounded — one critically — underscored extraordinarily fragile relationships between police and the communities they serve, from Ferguson and Staten Island to Baltimore, Cleveland, Albuquerque, North Charleston and Cincinnati. Since succeeding Eric Holder in April, Lynch has traveled much of the country in an attempt to mend a fracture that prompted a White House review of policing in the United States in the wake of the initial unrest in Ferguson. Within hours of her swearing in, she was forced to confront rapidly escalating tensions in Baltimore, where a black man died in the custody of local police. “Recent events in communities across the country have served as stark and tragic reminders of the tensions that exist in too many neighborhoods between law enforcement officers and the people we serve,” Lynch told the police group Monday. “One year after the tragic events in Ferguson, Mo., we have yet again seen the consequences for officers and residents when those tensions erupt into violence and unrest.” Lynch’s appearance in Pittsburgh also highlighted a difficult balance for the Justice Department, which while seeking to promote confidence in local police, also has been aggressive in examining local law enforcement operations and allegations of excessive force and discrimination. In the past six years, more than 20 police agencies have drawn the department’s scrutiny.

Shooting seen as threat to progress made by city Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

FERGUSON, MO. A police-involved shooting Sunday on the anniversary of the death of Michael Brown ripped open partially healed wounds from last year’s violence and reminded many that much work needs to be done in the region. St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said after a shootout involving at least six people, a suspect ran away, but then shot at police who were chasing him in an unmarked vehicle with emergency lights flashing. The incident happened exactly one year after 18-year-old Brown was shot and killed by then-Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. After Sunday’s shooting, several people said another officer-involved shooting would threaten progress made by Ferguson in the last year. “Just when people were getting comfortable, we are back on edge,” said Charles Mayo, 45, of St. Louis. “This sets us back a whole year. It’s like running on a treadmill, getting nowhere fast.” Monday afternoon, St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger declared a state of emergency. “In light of last night’s violence and unrest in the city of Ferguson, and the potential for harm to persons and property, I am exercising my authority as county executive to issue a state of emergency effective immediately,” Stenger said in a statement. “The recent acts of violence will not be tolerated in a community that has worked so tirelessly over the last year to rebuild and become stronger.” The encounter between Wilson and Brown lasted just two minutes, but the shooting led to months of massive and, at times, violent protests. The world watched as crowds hurled bottles and looted liquor stores, while police in military gear threw tear gas and clashed with those on the streets. Although a grand jury did not indict Wilson and the Justice Department declined to bring criminal charges against the officer, Brown’s violent death prompted a national look at alleged racial profiling, police brutality and the relationship between police officers and communities of color. The protests also prompted political change in Ferguson. In a city where 67% of the 21,000 residents are black, the majority of its political leaders at the time of the shooting were white. Ferguson’s police chief, city manager and a judge at the time of the shooting, who are all

white, resigned after the Justice Department issued a critical report that found the Ferguson police department engaged in a broad pattern of racially biased enforcement. The city hired interim City Manager Ed Beasley on June 9, and interim Police Chief Andre Anderson began work July 22. Both men are black. Yet Mayo, who along with hundreds of others heard and ran from the gunshots Sunday night, fears the shootings will mean several more nights of violence because people may seek retaliation. He said that in this case he believes that different groups came to peaceful protests and decided to be disruptive and push their own agendas of violence. Several

of violence.” DeRay McKesson, 30, a protester, said he heard gunshots “whiz past” him before he ran from the scene. He said Sunday’s shooting thrust him back into the emotions tied to the aftermath of Brown’s death. “This feels like August 2014 all over again,” McKesson said. “It’s a reminder that there is a lot of work to do in terms of ending police violence.” French said he doesn’t believe the shooting will set Ferguson back a year because he hasn’t heard anything that indicates police acted improperly. “If it is the guy who was shooting 100 feet away from me, I know he had a gun and he was using it,” said French, who ducked when he heard the gun-

FARMINGTON, N. M .

The plume of heavy metals released last week into the Animas River from the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colo., reached Utah on Monday. Evan O’Keefe, supervisor with the San Juan County Geographical Information Systems department, estimated Monday that the plume, which is now in the San Juan River, had traveled about three hours south of Aneth, Utah. The Gold King Mine’s discharge raises a risk of long-term damage from the toxic metals falling out of suspension as the plume slowly moves along the river. “Sediment does settle,” said Shaun McGrath, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Region 8. “It settles down to the bottom of the river bed.” One rural water user association in the county has spent thousands of dollars buying water from Farmington and Aztec because it had to shut down its wells after the toxic mine waste

Demonstrators march early Monday in Ferguson, Mo., to mark the first anniversary of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. Following a police-involved shooting, a state of emergency was declared. people, including St. Louis Alderman Antonio French, said they saw people looting stores near the shooting. Mayo, a floor technician, described Ferguson as a “community under siege” and said the violence makes life incredibly difficult for residents. Belmar echoed those sentiments in a news conference early Monday, saying the incident is an impediment to positive change. “There is a small group of people out there who are intent on making sure we don’t have peace that prevails,” Belmar said. “... We can’t afford to have this kind of violence.” He also asked for the community’s help to identify the shooters and to obtain any video of the incident. “We can’t sustain this as a community as we move forward,” Belmar said. “We can’t talk about the good things that we have been talking about over the last year since last year’s events if we are prevented from moving forward with this type

shots. “We’ll wait to find out exactly what happened, but I don’t think last night was like the Mike Brown incident. In that case, you clearly had an unarmed teenager who I think, had the police officer handled the situation differently, he would still be alive.” French is also frustrated by what he sees as a small group of opportunistic people who are not interested in making life better but in selfish agendas such as stealing. Sunday night, for example, French allowed several men to take refuge in his office only to find that they stole six laptops, two iPads and a bag of camera lenses. “Last night was a very disappointing night,” French said. “It’s unfortunate that you had thousands of people out here yesterday peacefully marching, trying to support the Brown family on this difficult anniversary for them while still highlighting the issues we need to work on. That gets overshadowed by the acts of a few selfish criminals.”

spilled into the Animas last week. “We don’t want to take a chance of contaminating them — and it sure has cost us a lot of money,” said Rick Mitchell, Flora Vista Mutual Domestic Water Association general manager. Mustard-colored water loaded with heavy metals, including arsenic, lead, copper, aluminum and cadmium, began rushing out of the Gold King Mine in southern Colorado on Wednesday after an EPA team disturbed a dam of loose rock lodged in the mine. The deluge of polluted water poured into Cement Creek and continued into the Animas River. The plume of pollution, clearly visible from the air and estimated to be more than 80 miles long at one point, reached Farmington, N.M., on Saturday morning. McGrath said future runoff from storms will kick that toxic sediment back into the water, which means there will need to be long-term monitoring. He added that “the Animas River has historically been polluted by acid mine drainage.” The San Juan River travels west through the Navajo Nation, then converges with the Colorado River at Lake Powell in southeastern Utah. For the chapter communities near the San Juan River, it is the main source of water for crops and livestock. Contributing: Steve Garrison, Joshua Kellogg and Noel Lyn Smith, The (Farmington, N.M.)

Killer grizzly bear suspect captured Jennifer Calfas USA TODAY

Rangers at Yellowstone National Park have captured a grizzly bear they say could be the one that killed a hiker at the park on Friday. On Monday, the park identified the victim as Lance Crosby, 68, of Billings, Mont. Park officials said Crosby was not carrying bear spray, a type of pepper spray, at the time of the attack. Rangers believe a female grizzly bear killed Crosby then fed on his remains. Autopsy results had not been released. Yellowstone’s Julena Campbell told USA TODAY a female grizzly bear was caught early Saturday after rangers set up traps in the area hours after finding the victim’s body Friday. Park officials will complete several tests to identify the bear as the one involved in the killing. Tests include matching the shape and size of the bear tracks to ones found in the area and comparing the bear’s DNA to that found on the victim’s body. Campbell said that park officials sent DNA evidence to a lab Monday morning for testing and that results will come in the next few days. If officials identify the bear as the one suspected of the attack, the bear will be euthanized.

$115K! USA TODAY

aking more than $100K isn’t just a dream for workers in the right companies — it’s a reality. The best-paying 13 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500, including computer-networking company Juniper Networks, Netflix and Yahoo, shell out median annual salaries to workers of $115,000, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from Glassdoor.com. Glassdoor is a careers and jobs website that compiles self-reported pay statistics from anonymous employees who have worked at their company since at least 2010. Salaries paid to rank-and-file workers are back in focus because of new rules passed last week by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require companies to disclose how many times more CEOs are paid than employees. This is intended to give workers, companies and investors a better gauge to put CEO pay into perspective. The rule will also give employees and investors a way to size up employee pay across industries and companies. Getting paid $115,000 a year is certainly not the norm. The median pay — or the amount where half the workers earn more and half earn less — in the S&P 500 on average is $68,000 a year among the 459 companies in the S&P 500 for which Glassdoor has valid pay statistics. But several pay much more — and the ones that do are seeing a payoff in their stock performance. An equal-weighted index of the 13 companies with the highest median pay is up 24.3% over the past year. That easily outperforms the S&P 500’s 8.8%

gain during the same time. The overwhelmingly dominant industry for outsized salaries is technology. All but two of the toppaying companies hail from the information technology sector, S&P Capital IQ says. Yet the top two that aren’t technically in the information technology sector, Netflix and computer infrastruc-

ture operator Equinix, still are technology based. Netflix is in the consumer discretionary sector, and Equinix is in finance. Employees looking for the biggest pay should get their résumés into Juniper Networks. The company, which designs and makes high-performance networking equipment, pays employees a median $134,721 a year, Glassdoor says. That makes it the highestpaying company in the analysis. In an interesting twist, Juniper is also the biggest money loser of all the top-paying companies. It posted a net loss of $427.8 million during the past 12 months — a big contrast to the average $2.2 billion net profit posted by the group of best-paying companies. That monthly fee you’ve been paying to Netflix is finding its way into some of the pockets of employees, too. Workers there are pulling down a median $132,220 salary, Glassdoor says. That’s not all that surprising given the company’s tremendous performance. The company’s profit has expanded to $192.7 million over the past 12 months, but more impressively, the stock is up 630% over the past five years.

Google spokeswoman Gina Scigliano declined to comment. “I think this sets up Google to be a much more diversified company,” said longtime Google observer Danny Sullivan, founding editor of MarketingLand.com. “It certainly allows Google to expand its mission.” What’s more, Google may be delivering on its promise of an era of greater transparency. Investors have been increasingly rattled by Google’s spending on its “moonshots,” those experimental projects such as driverless cars and delivering Internet access from high-altitude balloons. Now Google will keep those speculative businesses separate. “We can do the math. That’s good, more disclosure,” said BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis. “That will put to rest some of the concerns that Google is overspending in non-productive areas.”

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett tossed cold water on the idea that snack food giant Mondelez could soon be united with Kraft Foods. In an interview on CNBC on Monday, the 84-year-old head of Berkshire Hathaway said there’s still too much work to be done on the newly formed Kraft Heinz to consider a large acquistion like Mondelez, which is valued at $75 billion. “At Kraft Heinz, we have our work cut out for us for the next couple of years,” said Buffett, who teamed up with Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital to merge Kraft with Heinz earlier this year. Buffett’s rebuff didn’t seem to bother fellow billionaire Bill Ackman, who announced a $5.5 bil-

In a conference call with investors — also on Monday — Ackman confirmed that he sees “possibilities for transactions” to boost Mondelez’s stock price. But he also touted Mondelez’s virtues as a standalone company, saying the stock is “attractively priced” given the opportunities to improve margins, or revenue minus the cost of the product. Mondelez CEO Irene Rosenfeld has been under pressure to improve margins thanks to Nelson Peltz, another activist hedge fund manager. Ackman on Monday suggested Rosenfeld could reach even higher. “We think there a huge opportunity for the company to improve its productivity,” the hedge fund manager said.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway reached a deal to acquire aerospace supplier Precision Castparts in a deal valued at $37.2 billion, including the assumption of debt. It’s the largest deal ever for Nebraska native Buffett, who has long emphasized buying low, acquiring only things that you understand and investing for the long run.

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Warren Buffet said, “This is right up there at the top” of expensive deals.

Berkshire (BRK.A, BRK.B) said Monday that it would pay $235 per share in cash for all of Portland, Ore.-based Precision Castparts’ (PCP) shares. That

represents a 21% premium on the stock’s Friday closing price of $193.88. “I’ve admired PCC’s operation for a long time,” Buffett said in a statement. “For good reasons, it is the supplier of choice for the world’s aerospace industry, one of the largest sources of American exports.” The companies expect the deal to close in the first quarter of 2016. A majority of Precision Castparts shareholders must approve the deal. “This is right up there at the top” of expensive deals, Buffett told CNBC. “This is a very high

Easy as A or B to buy Berkshire Hathaway stock Q: How can I invest in Warren Buffett? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Want to ride Warren Buffett’s coattails? It’s not hard. Since the famed investor’s investment company has shares of publicly available stock, all you need is a brokerage account to hitch your portfolio to one of the most successful long-term investors. If you have an existing relationship with a broker, simply enter an order to buy Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway stock. You can buy the regular A shares with full voting rights, with symbol BRKA, but those will cost you more than $200,000 each. Most individual investors will be better served with the B shares despite the reduced voting rights, trading by the symbol BRKB, as they trade for around $140 a share. If you don’t have an existing brokerage relationship, it’s time to set one up. Most mainstream online brokerages charge about $10 to buy a stock, including Berkshire. Some brokerages offer discounts if you have significant balances or have multiple banking relationships. There are also ways you can buy many stocks, including Berkshire Hathaway, for no commission. Loyal3 is an online brokerage that provides commissionfree trades in Berkshire as well as other well-known stocks such as Disney and Amazon.com. If you just want to buy Berkshire, it’s a good way to go.

multiple for us to pay.” But Jim Shanahan, an Edward Jones analyst who tracks Berkshire, said Buffett didn’t overpay. “The stock’s been down. It’s been hit pretty hard recently,” Shanahan said. “So from that standpoint it makes sense. This is a really good company with a very strong management team.” Precision Castparts has about 29,350 employees at 157 manufacturing facilities. It had $10 billion in revenue in its 2015 fiscal year with $1.5 billion in net income from continuing operations. The deal is likely to take Berk-

shire out of the market for large acquisitions at least through the middle of 2016. Buffett’s big deal could help clear the path for the 84-year-old investor’s eventual successor at Berkshire. By deploying $37 billion in capital on the Precision Castparts deal, Buffett is taking some pressure off his company’s next leader. “Anybody taking over the company from Warren Buffett — I think it’s potentially positive here that they would be able to focus on running the business as opposed to putting capital to work initially,” Shanahan said.

Walking onto the set of Straight Outta Compton was just like going back in. When the music biopic shot in Los Angeles last year, fans of hip-hop group N.W.A. often would gather to watch. One day, “I looked right, and this guy was literally under the bill of my hat with me,” says Jason Mitchell, who portrays the late Eazy-E. “He’s like, ‘Bro. It’s like you’re a ghost, bro.’ And I was like, ‘Wow.’ ... This wasn’t just some guy they knew. This was a piece of history that put Compton on the map.” “It was surreal, in so many ways,” says rapper/actor Ice Cube, who produces and is played by his real-life son, O’Shea Jackson Jr. “It was like being right back there in the hood. It just took me back to ’83, ’84, ’85.” Compton, out Friday, tracks the rise and fall of N.W.A. in the ’80s and ’90s — from the recording of their seminal 1988 debut album of the same name to the group’s split three years later to Eazy’s death in 1995 from AIDS-related complications. The cast is led by newcomers including Corey Hawkins (as Dr. Dre), Neil Brown Jr. (DJ Yella) and Aldis Hodge (MC Ren), all of whom went to great lengths to get under the skins of their characters. (Paul Giamatti co-stars as N.W.A.’s crooked manager, Jerry Heller.) Hawkins, 26, and Mitchell, 28, had to bulk up to play Dre and Eazy, which required a 4,000-calorie-a-day diet, as well as boxing and fight training months before the shoot. Jackson, meanwhile, lost 15 pounds to more closely resemble his then-teenage father, which he achieved through cross training and a regimen of “dirt, grass and water,” he jokes. They also pored through old tapes of N.W.A. working and performing together, and talked to their reallife counterparts (Mitchell, with Eazy’s family and friends; Jackson and Hawkins, with Cube and Dre, also a producer). Dre was “ there every step of the way,” Hawkins says. “If I

needed to pick up the phone and call him at 4 in the morning while we’re still on set for a little moment, he would be available for that. At the beginning of the process, he said: ‘I’m not interested in you imitating me or trying to mimic me or anything like that. Just capture the essence of what we represented.’ ” The most grueling challenge for the young cast may have been rerecording N.W.A.’s album Straight Outta Compton in its entirety, which includes gangsta rap classics such as Express Yourself, F - - - Tha Police and the title track. Spending weeks in the studio, working with vocal coaches and receiving feedback from Cube and Dre, the five actors went on a musical crash course, particularly Hawkins. Not only did he have to learn to rap, but also produce and DJ using vinyl records as Dre once did. “Literally, if I was in the booth and didn’t do something right, someone would push the button and be like, ‘Nope, that ain’t it,’ ” Hawkins says. “It really felt like we became the group in the process.” It also made them fast friends, with a wisecracking, effortless chemistry that was evident over dinner with the cast in New York last week. “They were operating off this organic connection with each other, rather than just acting,” says director F. Gary Gray (The Italian Job). “They found a love for each other.”

Straight Outta Compton is about the rise of the rap group N.W.A. in the late 1980s and early ’90s. The film is produced by two of the groups original members, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.

In The Storm of the Century, his chronicle of the hurricane, popular NBC meteorologist Al Roker doesn’t hype the relevance of Galveston’s misfortune so much as deliver a fascinating, multifaceted story. As a narrative of science and nature, there’s more than enough to tell, but Roker tries to paint a vast, ultimately unwieldy, canvas. Researching the lives of several Galveston survivors to impart flesh-and-blood immediacy, he portrays grocer Arnold Wolfram, schoolteacher Daisy Thorne, police chief Edwin Ketchum and first-grader Louise Bristol in their desperate hours. But none of their travails resonate as strongly as those of Isaac Cline, Galveston’s resident weatherman, an ambitious, workaholic member of the fledgling U.S. Weather Bureau caught in the literal and political crosswinds of the storm. Cline’s story is at the core of this historical drama, which led a craftier storyteller, Erik Larson, to focus on it so effectively in his 1999 book, Isaac’s Storm. Admirably, and with acknowledgement, Roker’s big-picture approach seeks to build on Larson’s bestseller (and on John Edward Weems’ 1957 A Weekend in September), providing a wealth of cultural context and meteorological depth. Roker is at his best on his home field: meteorology. His deeply knowledgeable descriptions of how hurricanes form are well-written and interesting to the lay reader who hasn’t a clue as to why air masses converge, spiral and wreak havoc. Roker carefully explains how the area around the Cape Verde Islands off Africa is an incubator for many of the hurricanes that hit North America. He also details the invention, late in the 19th century, of the barometer, anemometer and hygrometer, which made it possible to measure air pressure, wind flow and relative humidity. And so we learn that the science of weather forecasting we take for granted today was well in place more than a century ago. Shockingly, Galveston didn’t benefit from the hurricane warnings that preceded Sept. 8. At the time, the United States controlled Cuba after the brief Spanish-American War, and in a sorry show of bureaucratic bad faith, the U.S. Weather Bureau refused to heed Cuban meteorologists who predicted the severity of the storm. By edict of his superiors, Cline was forbidden to warn his fellow Galvestonians of the storm’s scope — and the rest is history.

BEFORE YOUR CHILD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL, SCHEDULE A PHYSICAL WITH YOUR PEDIATRICIAN to make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date. Kansas requires five different vaccinations for students in grades K-12.

Before school starts, catch kids up on immunizations By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

oing back to school can sting a little, and not just from the cost of school supplies or the clang of the alarm clock. Returning to the classroom also means children must be caught up on their immunizations. “Getting all of the recommended vaccines is one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their child’s health, especially when they are in a setting like a school or a child care center where disease outbreaks can occur,” said Clinic Supervisor Kathy Colson, of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

For parents new to the state, visit www. kdheks.gov/immunize for complete information on the state’s requirements for vaccinations for students up to age 18. When children aren’t vaccinated, they are at increased risk for disease and can spread disease to others in their classrooms and communities. This includes babies too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to

cancer or other health conditions. For the 2014-2015 school year, the Kansas State Department of Health and Environment issued new regulations required for immunizations. For parents new to the state, visit www.kdheks.gov/immunize for complete information on the state’s requirements for vaccinations for students up to age 18. Immunization requirements and recommendations for the upcoming school year are based on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommendations and the consensus of the Governor’s Child Health Advisory Committee Immunization Workgroup.

Vaccines aren’t just for kids: Protect yourself from shingles By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

About 30 percent of Americans will get shingles at some time in their lives. Shingles, or herpes zoster, is caused by the virus that causes chickenpox. Dr. Joseph Hawkins, a board-certified family physician at Eudora Family Care, said anyone who has had chickenpox is vulnerable. He explained that the virus is never fully cleared from the body but remains dormant in nerve tissues. When your immune system is weakened for any reason — physical or emo-

tional stress, medications, age — the virus can be reactivated. The first sign of shingles is usually burning, tingling, numbness or itching on one side of the body along the path of the affected nerve. Hawkins said this can be anywhere in the body but most typically wraps around one side of the torso near the waist. A rash develops along this line, and this rash can turn into blisters

“The severity (of shingles) varies with the individual. Some have only itching. Others have pain so intense that the slightest touch is almost unbearable. Some patients get only a mild rash or none at all.” — Dr. Joseph Hawkins, Eudora Family Care physician

that crust over and take two to four weeks to heal. “The severity varies with the individual,” Hawkins said. “Some have only itching. Others have pain so in-

tense that the slightest touch is almost unbearable. Some patients get only a mild rash or none at all.” Please see LMH, page 2C

Audit: Replacing nurses with aides may save schools thousands Topeka (ap) — A recent audit showed that an eastern Kansas school district could save money by employing health aides instead of nurses, but the district’s recent superintendent said nurses are worth the extra money because of the services they can provide. A Legislative Post Audit study of staffing and other practices at Auburn-Washburn Unified School District 437 showed the 6,200-student district could save $68,000 a year by replacing four of its 10 nurses with health aides. The switch also would save

the state $9,000 a year in pension funding because lower pay would mean lower retirement obligations. According to the legislative audit, nurses’ salaries are about $19,000 higher than salaries for their unlicensed counterparts. But Brenda Dietrich, superintendent of the Auburn-Washburn district from 2001 until last month, said the district considers nurses worth the money. “Our parents just feel so much more comfortable” with a nurse on staff, Dietrich told The Topeka Capital-Journal. “It’s kind of an expectation

from their perspective that we take good care of their kids.” The audit suggested the district could have some nurses split their time between more than one school, which would involve going from one nurse at each of 10 schools, plus two aides districtwide, to a total of six nurses and six aides. USD 437 began employing one nurse per building in 2002 when it also started offering fullday kindergarten. But Dietrich said the district would consider hiring a certified nurse’s assistant instead of a nurse next time it needs to fill an opening at its

smallest building. Under Kansas regulations, schools can employ health aides with monitoring by nurses. Health aides can perform some tasks with nurse supervision, such as giving oral medications and insulin shots and helping with health screenings, immunization tracking and clerical work. Nurses are required for such things as giving intravenous prescription medications and writing health care and emergency plans for students with allergies, asthma and other conditions.

Kyra: Instead of writing this final column, I took heavily filtered selfies with my pet cactus. I put a bunch of T-shirts on the blades of my ceiling fan and watched them fly off when I flipped the switch. I did a handstand for the first time in four years. Call it procrastination, but I just couldn’t type a farewell to something I’ve loved so dearly and looked forward to every week of the last year. For 12 months, as my emotions went up and down like a pogo stick, “Double Take” was a reassuring constant. After I’d had a bad day, nothing was more comforting than curling up on my bed and writing about love, ADHD or video game violence. I researched weed, school funding, breast cancer, sexting and a whole bunch of other topics I’d never taken the time to really delve into before. I gave out a lot of advice that I later realized I should have given myself. Former co-author Ben Markley said it best in his goodbye column that the work of an advice columnist “might potentially be the most hypocritical job ever.” “Double Take” has given me a little taste of journalism’s real world with its regular deadlines, tough topics and critical online commenters teaching me to better accept my many mistakes. The first time I caught an error in my half of the column in the paper, my embarrassed tears made the ink bleed. I showed a friend. She was like, “Yeah, that’s a pretty stupid mistake, but people make mistakes.” That stuck with me. Over the course of the year, I haven’t learned to care less about things like that, but to care differently and to focus on improving instead of trying so hard to be perfect. As I pass the torch to Gabe McGee, I urge him to keep that in mind. It’s not that I think he’ll make too many errors. I met Gabe during the contest, and I was impressed by his meticulous attention to detail and his professional but gentle way of carrying himself. I have no doubt he’ll bring consistently strong, insightful advice to his readers. I will be one of them during my first year at Mizzou. Please see MISTAKES, page 2C

starting at age 11 and adults up to age 64, according to the Immunization Action Coalition. It is often called a booster dose because it boosts the immunity from vaccines given at ages 4 to 6, which normally wanes as children age. l Poliomyelitis (IPV/ OPV): Four doses are required. One dose must be given after age 4, a minimum of six months after the previous dose. l Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR): Two doses are required. l Hepatitis B: Three doses are required. l Varicella (chickenpox): Two doses are required unless a history of varicella disease has been documented by a licensed physician.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment defines immunizations required for any individual who attends school or early childhood programs operated by a school. l Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTaP): Normally, five doses are required. Four doses are acceptable if the fourth dose is given on or after the child’s fourth birthday. A single dose of Tdap is required at grades 7-12. DTaP is approved for children under age 7.

Some of the complications that can develop from shingles include encephalitis (an inflammation of the brain), facial paralysis, hearing or balance problems, skin infections and painful eye infections that may cause vision loss. The most common complication is postherpetic neuralgia, which is nerve damage that causes persistent pain affecting the nerve fibers and skin. The risk of shingles and its complications increases with age. The shingles vaccine can lower that risk. In a study of 38,000 people ages 60 and older, the vaccine reduced the incidence of shingles by 51.3 percent and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia by 66.5 percent. Zostavax, the shingles vaccine, was first approved in 2006 for most people age 60 and older. In 2011, the approval was

extended to people ages 50 to 59. The mean age of onset for shingles is 52, but half of all cases occur in people 60 and older. Zostavax costs about $200. How much of that is covered depends on the deductibles and copays of your drug plan. Unlike many other vaccines and preventive measures, Zostavax is not covered directly by Medicare Part B but rather by Medicare Part D, the prescription drug plan. Some doctors stock the vaccine for administration in their offices; others can write you a prescription and you can get the shot at a pharmacy. The vaccine has a good

safety record after being tested in about 20,000 adults age 60 and older. The most common side effects reported were redness, soreness, swelling or itching at the injection site. Those who should not get the vaccine include people who are allergic to any of the vaccine’s components and those who have a weakened immune system because of a disease or medication. “Shingles is rarely lifethreatening,” Hawkins said, “but it can cause considerable suffering, and there is always the risk of serious complications such as vision loss and postherpetic neuralgia.” Hawkins pointed out that you can get shingles

Wes: The imperative “Become who you are” is often attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche. It was among his favorite quotes and fits well into a philosophy built on transcendence. But the words really come from the Greek poet Pindar, who said much more poetically, “Become such as you are, having learned what that is.” We forget sometimes as adults that the whole purpose of adolescence is for our children to become who they are, not who we were. This week we say goodbye to a whole group of young philosophers who are leaving home to embark on that journey of becoming. Statistics tell us that although most will succeed, quite a few will return, shaken, to reassess and start over again. Nietzsche also said, “What does not kill me makes me stronger.” There’s a reason Kelly Clarkson took that title

to No. 1. The message resonates deeply with teens and young adults. Kyra Haas will be among those who truly become who and what they are. How do I know this? Anyone who has really known Kyra can see it. She’s not only been my co-author this year, but my intern and my friend. It has been a rare and valuable experience. So, I know. Over the years in “Double Take” we’ve talked of The Three E’s: Ethics, Empathy, and Excellence in behavior. If that concept ever gets a Wikipedia page, Kyra’s picture will be front and center. She cares so

deeply about the world and those in it that she gives of herself freely to bring about their greater good, even at personal sacrifice. Her sense of personal and social justice exceeds that of most adults I’ve known. She enacts it daily, always the peacemaker, while keeping at bay that haunting fear all teens have that the world really isn’t very fair or even safe, while encouraging those around her to believe that maybe it is. Most of all, however, Kyra will become what she is, and in the process make all of us proud that we knew her “back in the day,” because whether

with immunizations for measles and meningitis. If a student cannot show that he or she has received these vaccinations, an enrollment hold will be applied and the student will be unable to enroll in subsequent semesters. l Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR): All newly enrolled or reenrolled students born on or after Jan. 1, 1957, must show proof of two vaccinations for MMR. History of the disease is not sufficient for compliance unless accompanied by a positive blood test. l Meningitis: All students living in universityowned group housing are required to be vaccinated for meningitis or to sign a waiver indicating that they refuse to receive the vaccine. even if you have been vaccinated, “but if you do, you’re less likely to suffer the most severe symptoms, and you have a lower risk of postherpetic neuralgia.” You should discuss the shingles vaccination with your health care provider. About 45,000 American seniors die each year from complications of diseases that could have been prevented through vaccination. “Whether you were vaccinated as child or not, it’s important to keep your immunizations up to date,” Hawkins advised. The most important vaccinations adults should consider in addition to shingles are: l Yearly flu shots l Pneumococcal vaccine to prevent pneumonia l Tetanus-diphtheriapertussis (Tdap) — Janice Early, MBA, is Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department Immunizations are available at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department during clinic hours. No appointment is necessary. Parents are encouraged to bring their children’s immunizations records with them. Call the Health Department at 843-0721 or visit ldchealth.org for clinic hours and more information. The Health Department participates in the Vaccines for Children Program, which allows the department to provide vaccines at no cost

to children who are uninsured or whose insurance doesn’t cover vaccinations. Parents must bring written proof from the insurance company if vaccinations are not covered.

Heartland Community Health Center Through Friday, for students who are uninsured, Heartland is offering $20 back-to-school physicals, free immunizations and backpacks filled with school supplies. Children who are insured or covered by KanCare will pay their normal co-pays for physicals and vaccinations and will also be eligible to receive a backpack.

Dear Annie: It is a modern kind of problem to have such a long life expectancy. My husband and I are in our early 60s. His parents are in their early 90s. They still live independently and are fairly healthy. We often have family gettogethers with his parents, our children and our grandchildren. My husband’s father tells the same stories over and over. He completely monopolizes conversations and will interrupt a speaker and start telling his own tale from days long gone. His wife will sometimes say, “Dear, you’ve told this story before,” and he will momentarily pause, but his brain is stuck on one track and he’ll keep going. He is unable not to continue, complete with the same jokes and

But he seems unable to just let

Football, football and nail salons Half of reality TV is watching other people work. The other half is watching them not work. The daily grind of very specific fields is the subject of several reality series debuting tonight. ‘‘Hard Knocks” (9 p.m., HBO) begins a new season, its 10th, putting an NFL team under the microscope as it reports to training camp and prepares for the football season, less than a month away. And the football players — including the Houston Texans, their coach, Bill O’Brien, and their star defensive player, J.J. Watt — aren’t the only ones operating under a time constraint. ‘‘Knocks” is shot, edited and aired almost as quickly as a live sports or breaking news series. Sports news has a remarkably short shelf life. It’s hard to get excited about something you read about in the back of the newspaper or saw on “SportsCenter” five days ago. So the folks behind “Hard Knocks” deserve credit for producing a good-looking, topical series literally on the fly. For the record, “Hard Knocks” is narrated by Liev Schreiber, who has been heard on many HBO sports documentaries and now stars on “Ray Donovan” on HBO’s premium network rival, Showtime.

On a similar gridiron theme, “The Agent” (9 p.m., Esquire) profiles some of the real men behind fictional characters like Jerry Maguire. The four real-life “stars” of this series include Jeff Guerriero, who has negotiated more than 130 NFL contracts since 1998; Peter Schaffer, a 24-year veteran who has brought more than a billion dollars to his clients; former Wall Street executive Sunny Shah, who has made his name synonymous with first-round draft picks, and Ed Wasielewski, a trained lawyer in search of young talents. High tolerance for alpha-male behavior is required.

A process-oriented show in a very different field, “Boss Nails” (8 p.m., Oxygen) follows colorful and deliberately eccentric employees of a Miami beauty salon.

Tonight’s other highlights

A dozen acts perform live on “America’s Got Talent” (87p.m., NBC).

Jeff Foxworthy hosts on “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?” (7 p.m., Fox).

A tracker exits Paris, pursued by a bear, on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS).

A campus cad with 32 girlfriends is found slain on “Rizzoli & Isles” (8 p.m., TNT).

Ask him to speak to his doctor about an evaluation, or better, go with him. But please work on your tolerance levels. Your husband isn’t being annoying on purpose.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Cozart will start opener (probably) Opening Day-starter announcements, whether in major-league baseball for the pitcher or college football for the quarterback, generally fall into the anticlimactic category. A trail of crumbs usually leads to the obvious choice. Rob Likens, Kansas University’s offensive coordinator, dropped a ton of them Monday in a session with the local media. Barring an upset of Buster Douglas magnitude, junior Montell Cozart will get the Week 1 call vs. South Dakota State (Sept. 5, 11 a.m.). Of course, that doesn’t mean the job is his for the entire season. Likens’ clues were big ones. “It is so hard for a freshman, just freshmen football players in general,” Likens said. “I think the easiest position to play as a freshman is probably running back or wide receiver. You just rely on natural ability and talent and react and see what happens. A quarterback has got to learn the entire offense. He has to learn all of the calls. He has to learn what everybody else does.” Likens praised the intelligence, quick feet and overall athleticism of Carter Stanley, the freshman from Vero Beach, Florida. The OC also said he is impressed with the “big arm” of Bishop Miege graduate Ryan Willis. It’s not their ability Likens questions. It’s the dwindling pages of the calendar that makes him drop the Cozart clues. “You can eliminate the last week,” Likens said. “That’s game week. You have four weeks of training camp. That week’s gone. So you really have three weeks to take somebody’s position as a freshman, somebody that’s been there in the spring and has worked 15 practices that you didn’t.” Likens crossed one more week off the preparation. “That first week is a wash because they have to learn the offense,” he said. “Really, they have two weeks to beat out a guy who has been there a long time. I’m not saying it can’t be done.” The coaches want to be able to evaluate the freshmen in game conditions. Maybe they think throwing them out there too soon would be a prescription for a misleading evaluation, leading to false negative impressions. Without a microwave approach, the freshmen will have a more fair shot to show what they can do in a game. Cozart is the only of the three leading quarterback contenders who has shown what he can do under livegame circumstances. In

Tempo comes at defense’s expense By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Three practices into preseason camp, Kansas University junior quarterback Montell Cozart needed just a few words to describe the Jayhawks’ new Air Raid offense. “Fun. Simple. Fast. And fun,” Cozart said. “It’s been really fun, and we’ve been able to put in our up-tempo and put a lot of pressure on the defense.” That kind of attack may have been enjoyable for Cozart and the KU offense, but the coaches and players on defense have not seen it the same way. In fact, defensive coordinator Clint Bowen even went as far as to act as a 12th defender a couple of times. “We’ve been taking advan-

tage of ’em,” Cozart said with a sly grin. “It’s getting to the point where coach Bowen is trying to hold the ball to let his guys get situated. He’s literally standing over the ball like a ref. He can’t do that. He ought to be on the sideline somewhere.” Offensive coordinator Rob Likens was aware of Bowen’s tactics. While he was inspired to laugh when thinking back on it, he also pushed across some legitimate sympathy. “We have one of our managers as a referee,” Likens said. “We actually put a striped shirt on him, which is hilarious. We have him stand over the ball, and I told Montell, ‘Look, as soon as he gets off the ball, snap it, let’s go.’ Well, literally, as soon as he took his finger off the ball, (Montell) snapped it. ... So

Clint was like, ‘I gotta stop this.’” Likens’ job in KU’s new offense — which continues to be installed in the manner of Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, repeat — is to coach the offense to go as fast as it can. That’s why he wants Cozart snapping the ball so quickly and why Cozart said the players on his side of the line of scrimmage constantly look to the sideline for the OK to go faster. “You look over and tell the signal guys, ‘Come on, let’s go, let’s get going, we’ve got ’em on their heels,’” Cozart said. However, when going against your own defense, it can be a little bit tricky to take too much of a relentless mentality.

Rowers fall ill in Rio Rio de Janeiro — Thirteen rowers on the 40-member U.S. team came down with stomach illness at the World Junior Rowing Championships — a trial run for next summer’s Olympics — and the team doctor said she suspected it was due to pollution in the lake where the competition took place. The event took place amid rising concerns about the water quality at venues for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, now less than a year away. The Americans were by far the hardest hit at the regatta that concluded over the weekend, with reports of vomiting and diarrhea. Other teams in the competition reported some illnesses, according to World Rowing, the sport’s governing body, but those were about as expected at an event that featured more than 500 young rowers. On July 30, the Associated Press published an independent analysis of water quality that showed high levels of viruses and, in some cases, bacteria from human sewage in all of Rio’s Olympic and Paralympic water venues, including the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, where the rowing competition took place. U.S. coach Susan Francia, a two-time Olympic gold-medal rower, said in an interview with the AP that 13 athletes and four staff members — including herself — suffered various gastrointestinal symptoms during the team’s two weeks of training in Rio. Officials did not rule out that the Americans could have gotten ill from food or drinking water.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH RUNS A PLAY during training camp Sunday in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Chiefs expect more out of QB Smith St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — Alex Smith did everything the Kansas City Chiefs asked of him last season. Now, he must do more. The veteran quarterback with a reputation for being a game manager is being called upon to build on a solid if unremarkable season. After signing a four-year, $68 million extension before training camp, Smith proceeded to throw for more than 3,000 yards and 18 touchdowns with only six interceptions, despite having his season cut a game short by injury. But if the Chiefs hope to return to the playoffs — and win their first postseason game since 1993 — it will almost certainly be because their passing game flourishes this season. “I feel really good,” said Smith, who is entering his 10th season in the league. “It’s a point of emphasis for us all offseason. We worked hard on it, QBs and wideouts included. We worked really hard on it and I do feel good with where we’re at.” Much of his career, Smith has been hampered by spotty options at wide receiver. Dwayne Bowe and Donnie Avery hardly fit Chiefs coach Andy Reid’s offense, but other than a host of also-rans, they were just about all Smith had at his disposal. That is hardly the case this season. The Chiefs signed Jeremy Maclin, who grew up in Reid’s offense in Philadelphia — although the high-profile free agent missed Monday’s practice with an injury. They also drafted Chris Conley in the third round, and the speedy, rangy pass-catcher out of Georgia returned to the practice field Monday for the first time since July 29 after dealing with a knee injury. Throw in the emergence of tight end Travis Kelce as a bona fide star last season, and

running back Jamaal Charles’s ability to catch passes out of the backfield, and Smith has more weapons in the huddle than any other time in his first two years in Kansas City. He also has more down-the-field options. One of the big criticisms of Smith has been his reluctance to throw deep, which might help loosen up opposing defenses and give Charles room to run. Smith completed just 40 passes of at least 20 yards last season, ranking in the bottom half of NFL starters, and three of at least 40 yards — tied for 35th among all quarterbacks that attempted a pass. “Your percentages obviously go down when you shoot deep as opposed to short and intermediate passes, that only makes sense,” Reid said. “But he’s connected on some nice ones (in practice). Even offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, himself a former quarterback, seems to be hoping Smith takes more chances, at least before the games start to count. “If you’re going to throw an interception, training camp is the time to throw it. Let’s test our skill and ability, let’s see what our guys can do,” Pederson said. “Let’s see what the quarterback can do, let’s see what our receivers can do. This is the time to test that, and we’ve got all of the confidence in the world, as a staff, when we call those plays that they’re completion plays and that Alex will do the right thing with the ball.” Notes: Maclin woke up Monday with a strained neck. X-rays were negative. “Everything is OK. We just have to get the spasm out of it,” Reid said. “I’m not sure exactly when it happened.” It is unclear whether Maclin will play in Saturday’s preseason opener at Arizona. ... OLB Dee Ford remained out of practice after going through the concussion protocol this past weekend.

BRIEFLY Owings Mills, Md. — Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith, one of 12 players in NFL history with 900 catches, says he will retire after this season — his 15th in the league. The five-time Pro Bowler spent his first 13 season with Carolina. He intends to leave after the second season of a threeyear contract with Baltimore. He informed his teammates Monday before practice at training camp. “I’ll look back and enjoy things,” Smith said. “I feel like it’s time. My body feels great, but not everybody gets this opportunity.” The 36-year-old receiver made his decision in April. Last season he caught 79 passes for 1,065 yards and six touchdowns to help the Ravens reach the second round of the playoffs. Smith has 13,000 receiving yards and 70 touchdown receptions for his career. He was a third-round draft pick in 2001 and has played 14 or more games in all but one season. “I don’t want to hold on,” Smith said. “Jerry Rice is the best receiver to ever play, but I don’t believe that chasing whatever it is to chase for four more years would be conducive to my family or me. I would be having to give up something.”

that. And he sympathizes. Which is why he and Bowen are in constant communication about a way to practice that benefits both sides. “What’s tough about this offense is matching it up with a defense in the way that you practice,” Likens said. “Defenses have to see all kinds of formations, and then they have to adjust to how you line up. So they need to see guys shifting, moving, lining up and all that stuff, and we’re more concerned with go, go, go, go, go, fast, fast, fast, fast, fast, line up, snap the ball, let’s go.” So far, with the start of the season still a few weeks away, the practice set-up has worked well enough for both sides. And even if the faster pace has benefited the offense a little more from time to time, Cozart and Likens hardly seem to mind. “We don’t have much film on us right now,” Cozart said. “We only have (what we did in the) spring, so we’ve been able to watch a couple of other offenses run this, and you start to see our offense turn into what they’re doing, and it just gives you confidence.”

Recruiting Kansas Whether it led to scholarship players, walk-ons or both, Beaty and company really emphasized the state of Kansas on the recruiting trail this offseason. Beaty said his coaching staff’s recruiting started and ended in state and helped put KU in a more favorable light throughout the state. “Our goal was to darken the doors of every public high school in Kansas that played football, and we actually stopped at some that didn’t,” said Beaty, who guessed that his coaches

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Johnny Cueto could not have scripted a better introduction to the Kansas City fans. Cueto threw a fourhitter in his home debut as the Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-0 on Monday night. Cueto (1-1) did not allow a runner past second base, struck out eight and walked none. It was his sixth career shutout and second this season. “The crowd really gave me an extra boost,” Cueto said with catching coach Pedro Grifol acting as his interpreter. “This is the most I’ve felt from a crowd; the intensity is by far the most. “I felt really proud the fans were just feeding me that last little boost of energy I needed.” Cueto, who was acquired from Cincinnati on July 26 for three pitching prospects, received a loud cheer as he went out for his warmup pitches and the standing ovations grew after every scoreless inning as he walked to the dugout. Cueto struck out Anthony Gose on three pitches to begin the game as the festive Kauffman Stadium crowd roared with approval. Sluggerr, the Royals’ mascot, appeared wearing a Cuetoesque mane of dreadlocks. When Cueto came out for the ninth, the Kauffman Stadium announced crowd of 36,672 rose in unison with a deafening roar that did not stop until long after he retired Victor Martinez on a fly ball to right fielder Alex Rios for the final out. “A bunch of us were saying in the eighth inning just watch how loud this gets when he goes out for the ninth inning,” said Eric Hosmer, who had an

Joel Embiid has not yet undergone a second surgery on his right foot, sources close to the situation told CSNPhilly.com, however, that procedure is still scheduled to take place, and Embiid is still expected to miss the upcoming 2015-16 season.

That surgery was performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, home to one of at least 12 doctors the Sixers and Embiid have so far consulted about Embiid’s complicated situation.

RBI single in the seventh. “It was really cool to see and fun to be a part of it. “It was pretty fun to see, his first game as a Royal at the K and hear the crowd out there in the ninth inning. It was a fun atmosphere tonight, a different feel tonight, a lot of people excited.” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus complained to plate umpire Joe West that Cueto’s delivery was illegal, that he was stopping in his windup. “Really, the way the rule reads, you’re not supposed to even alter your motion,” Ausmus said. “That’s the way the rule reads. They don’t enforce it. Well, he said if he stops it’s an illegal pitch.” Tigers lefty Matt Boyd, who was acquired from Toronto on July 30 in the David Price trade, gave up three runs in the first inning. Boyd (1-3), who beat Cueto and the Royals 2-1 last Wednesday when he allowed seven hits and one run over seven innings in his Tigers debut, gave up singles to Alcides Escobar and Ben Zobrist on his first two pitches. Lorenzo Cain doubled to center, scoring both. Kendrys Morales’ oneout single produced the third run of the inning. Zobrist went 3-for-3 with a walk. The Royals’ first five hitters — Escobar, Zobrist, Cain, Hosmer and Morales — went a combined 11 for 19 with four RBIs. J.D. Martinez doubled in the second for the Tigers’ only extra-base hit.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Mets win; Wright approves The Associated Press

National League Mets 4, Rockies 2 New York — The newlook New York Mets are even inspiring their injured captain. David Wright watched from Florida as Daniel Murphy drove in two runs with a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, and the Mets rallied for a victory over Colorado on Monday night after top Rockies pitching prospect Jon Gray was lifted after six innings. Between at-bats in his first minor-league rehab game, Wright sneaked some peaks at the Mets’ game on TV in the clubhouse at Tradition Field in Port St. Lucie. “I saw Murphy’s big two-run single,” Wright said. “It fires me up.” Wright has been out since April 15, and when he returns, he’ll find a clubhouse brimming with confidence. Even his manager senses the difference in a team that has won eight of 10 after making several trades before the non-waiver deadline on July 31. “It’s one of those games that probably a year ago we don’t win that game,” Terry Collins said. The Mets wasted threerun leads in two straight losses to Tampa Bay last weekend, then went ahead against Colorado on Travis d’Arnaud’s first homer since June 20. It was the only hit for the NL East leaders off Gray, the hard-throwing righthander making his second major league start. But Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run shot in the fourth off Jonathon Niese (7-9), reaching to the outside corner and sending a drive the opposite way to left-center with DJ LeMahieu aboard. It was Gonzalez’s 13th long ball since the All-Star break. The Mets loaded the bases against Justin Miller (1-1) in the seventh after Gray, the No. 3 overall draft pick in 2013, was pulled after 75 pitches. The rookie is on a strict innings and pitch limit as the Rockies look ahead to 2016 for the budding ace, manager Walt Weiss said. “Haven’t seen a guy pitching for a while the way he pitched today,” Gonzalez said. “He showed up today with no emotion. Really concentrated on pitching in a big city against a team who is in first place. Just the way he handled himself, that was unbelievable.” Miller gave up a single to d’Arnaud, walked Michael Conforto and then Ruben Tejada as well with two outs. Boone Logan entered and hit Curtis Granderson with a full-count pitch to tie it. Murphy then grounded a single past diving shortstop Jose Reyes, the former Mets star recently acquired in the trade that sent Troy Tulowitzki to Toronto, for a 4-2 lead. “It was good at-bat after good at-bat,” Murphy said. New York improved to 39-18 at Citi Field this season, beating the Rockies at home for a seventh straight time. The Mets entered Monday with a 11⁄2-game lead over Washington thanks to some help from the Rockies, who rallied for two wins against the Nationals this past weekend. Niese gave up six hits and two runs without walking a batter in seven innings. It was the 11th time in 12 starts that he went at least six innings. Tyler Clippard pitched

Diamondbacks 13, Phillies 3 Phoenix — Welington Castillo tied a career high with four RBIs, and Yasmany Tomas and A.J. Pollock homered, leading Arizona over Philadelphia. Arizona scored three runs in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie, highlighted by Castillo’s solo shot with two outs. Castillo has eight home runs and 11 RBIs in his last 12 games. Tomas hit a towering home run to left field off Phillies starter Aaron Harang, a solo shot that gave Arizona a 2-1 lead in the fourth. But the Phillies drew even on a two-out double by Cesar Hernandez that scored Chase Utley from first base in the fifth.

American League White Sox 8, Angels 2 Chicago — Chris Sale was back in All-Star form, and Avisail Garcia homered twice to drive in four runs as the White Sox beat the Angels. Tyler Flowers added a solo shot to back Sale (10-

7), who rebounded with a gem after allowing 14 earned runs and 18 hits in 101⁄3 innings while losing his previous two outings. The lanky left-hander didn’t allow a run — or more than one base-runner in an inning — until Johnny Giavotella drove in two with a double in the seventh. Sale returned for the eighth but was replaced by Nate Jones with one out after hitting Kole Calhoun with a pitch. Sale was charged with two runs and five hits. He struck out seven.

Orioles 3, Mariners 2 Seattle — Chris Davis hit a go-ahead single and his 30th home run, and Baltimore pulled within two games of the second wild-card spot in the American League. Adam Jones launched his 18th homer in the first inning off Seattle starter Vidal Nuno (0-1) and scored on Davis’ base hit in the fourth. Davis then hit a line drive out to center field off reliever Mayckol Guaipe in the sixth that landed in nearly the same spot as Jones’ drive. Davis reached 30 homers for the third time in the last four years. He led the majors with 53 in 2013. Seattle slugger Nelson Cruz extended his hitting streak to a career-high 20 games with an oppositefield single leading off the fourth.
