Morgan said Lawrence public schools were already doing those things and that the district has long offered nutritious snacks and balanced meals. “A while back we took out all the Little Debbies and ice cream,� she said. “Lawrence is really unique in that they pushed us to go a little further than some other districts.�

rare World War II aircraft stopped in Lawrence Monday, with an even more rare sight in the cockpit.

Lawrence native Bill Shepard is one of only two black men in the country currently piloting P-51 Mustang airplanes, he said. He’s a volunteer pilot for the Commemorative Air Force Red Tail Squadron

Shepard performed in an air show in Colorado Springs, Colo., last weekend. On his way home to Canada, where he lives and works as a director for a mining company, he made a “strategic fuel stop� in Lawrence to visit his three brothers and father, former Douglas County

At the same time, he said, color has become far less important than the Airmen’s accomplishments and simple message of perseverance.

They fought to be accepted into the military’s flight program, then proved themselves by being exceptionally good at their jobs and building a record of success.

“They were able to persevere and rise above the challenges,” Shepard said.

The plane Shepard flies is a rare C model Mustang, recognizable for its razorback-style fuselage — the top extends straight back from the glassed-in cockpit, whereas more common models’ cockpits protrude up like a bubble.

Built in the early 1940s and later restored, Shepard’s plane bears the name “Tuskegee Airmen”

The plane’s engine growled and its propeller whirred as Shepard fired it up for takeoff Monday afternoon at Lawrence Municipal Airport. Sun glinted off its wings as Shepard gained altitude and steered north.

Lawrence resident and plane enthusiast Chuck Watson stopped by to catch a glimpse of “Tuskegee Airmen.”

Watson said he loved the plane’s roaring engine, not to mention its history.

Lawrence has ties to another Mustang, a P-51D owned by Lawrence resident and airplane collector Steve Craig. Craig’s plane, named the “Flying Dutchman,” previously was located here but now is in California, where he has another home, he said.

Topeka — The state’s largest teachers union is suing the state and Gov. Sam Brownback over a bill that repeals teacher tenure rights in Kansas.

The repeal of tenure rights — which teachers prefer to call “administrative due process rights” — was part of a larger bill, House Bill 2506, that included funding to address a Supreme Court ruling on school finance, as well as other education policy and tax issues.

Small Kansas colleges have $980 million impact Topeka — A study commissioned by the Kansas Independent College Association found that more than a dozen small, private colleges contribute more than $980 million annually to the state’s economy.

The association’s president Matt Lindsey said the study was commissioned in part to raise the profile of the 18 colleges, which generally aren’t well known except by their graduates, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. “A lot of folks don’t realize our schools are here,� he said. “A big

piece of it is to raise our profile in Kansas.�

Lindsey said that the private colleges account for about one-quarter of the state’s new teachers and nurses.

About $720 million of the economic impact Kansas sees from the private colleges comes from graduates’ increased productivity, based on the average amount college graduates earn compared with those who don’t have degrees, according to the report.

About $16 million comes from student spending on food, gasoline and entertainment, and about $14 million

from more than a quartermillion people who visit the campuses for events.

Colleges included in the study are Baker University, Friends University, Benedictine College, Bethany College, Bethel College, Central Christian College, Donnelly College, Hesston College, Kansas Wesleyan, Manhattan Christian College, McPherson College, MidAmerica Nazarene University, Newman University, Ottawa University, Southwestern College, Sterling College, Tabor College and University of St. Mary.

to mitigate the issues and the cooperation of state officials during the investigation.

Between August 2009 and July 2010, the Kansas Development Finance Authority raised $273 million through eight series of bonds without disclosing in its offering the existence of the significant underfunded pension liability in its Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, according to the SEC order. The failure to disclose the information resulted from insufficient procedures and poor communication between the state’s Development Finance Authority and the Kansas Department of Administration, SEC said.

Gov. Sam Brownback said in a written statement that his administration has improved transparency in the reporting system and taken decisive actions to meet its obligations. “Since taking office, I have made restoring the health of our KPERS system a priority,� Brownback said.

financial sanctions were imposed. The SEC noted Kansas has since made changes and blamed insufficient procedures and poor communication between state agencies for the problem, which happened under the administration of then-Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat. “Kansas failed to adequately disclose its multibillion-dollar pension liability in bond offering documents, leaving investors with an incomplete picture of the state’s finances and its ability to repay the bonds amid competing strains on the state budget,� said LeeAnn Ghazil Gaunt, chief of the agency’s enforcement unit dealing with public pensions.

a little bit of a break, given what has happened to the city and county,� Board President Shannon Kimball said after the 6-0 vote.

The city of Lawrence and Douglas County have recently increased their mill levies to 1.47 mills and 3.914 mills respectively.

But much of the district’s budget and tax rates are driven by formulas set out in state law that deal with student enrollment, poverty rates and the wealth of the district.

Kimball said taxes were cut in the school district because the state—under order from the Kansas Supreme Court in a long-running lawsuit—fully funded equalization aid, which subsidizes capital outlay and local budgets. “It is frustrating that it took so long to get to this point,� she said.

And, she said, the state also changed the way it funds virtual school operations in a way that hurt the Lawrence district and will have to be addressed in the next several months.

No one spoke during the public meeting on the budget.

The budget will drop the levy from 57.788 mills to 56.197 mills meaning the owner of a $200,000 home will pay $1,292 in school property tax, which is $37 less than this year’s rate.

On the pay raise, the average salary increase for teachers will be $935 per year, according to the school district. The Lawrence Education Association, the local bargaining unit for teachers, had agreed to the salary increase in June.

The increase includes a $350 pay raise for all teachers and step increases based on teachers attaining more college credit and for each year of experience in the district.

The board also heard a report on efforts to improve counseling and mental health services, including the hiring of a student services mental health facilitator.

Board Vice President Vanessa Sanburn said the school district appreciated funding from Douglas County commissioners that will provide a social worker with the Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities, or WRAP, program in all Lawrence public high schools and middle schools.

The program had been cut in recent years to both high schools and only two

Summer supermoon

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Orman releases ‘reform’ plan in Senate race

By John Hanna Associated Press

John Sleezer/ The Kansas City Star/AP Photo

THE MOON RISES ABOVE KANSAS CITY, MO., Sunday evening during its closest point to the earth, called perigee. It is often referred to as a supermoon and is the second of three supermoons in 2014.

KNEA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Supporters of the bill addressed that issue during legislative debate. They said it met the Constitution’s requirement because it was titled “a bill concerning education,” all the provisions dealt with various aspects of education.

Brownback issued a statement denouncing the lawsuit as “labor union politics.”

“Kansas has high quality, well-funded schools and I signed HB 2506 to keep it that way,” Brownback said.

“I am concerned this misdirected lawsuit may cast doubt on, or unwittingly endanger, school funding just as classrooms are convening all across Kansas.”

The tenure rights meant that non-probationary teachers — those with three to five years on the job at one district — were entitled to an administrative due process hearing before they could be summarily fired or non-renewed for the following year.

The law, which dated back to the 1950s, was intended to prevent teachers from being fired over reasons that had nothing to

do with their performance, including political retribution. Civil service workers in other parts of state government enjoy similar protections.

Critics of that law said it made it too difficult for districts to fire ineffective teachers. They also noted that most workers in the private sector do not enjoy such protections.

Schauner said teachers should not be compared to private-sector employees.

“Teachers are in a unique position,” Schauner said.

“They have not only 150 to 200 students a day, but they have two parents for most of those kids as well and they are under a lot more stress than the typical nonteaching workforce. We believe the stresses of that job entitle those employees, our members, to quality dismissal processes.”

Teacher tenure laws have been common in most states, although the level of protection they provided teachers varies widely from state to state. Many of them have come under attack in recent years, either in Republican-controlled legislatures or in court action by conservative activist groups.

North Carolina passed a major revision to its tenure law in 2013. But a state

judge in one county put that change on hold, saying it amounted to an unconstitutional “taking” of property rights from those teachers who had already earned tenure.

In California, though, a state judge recently ruled that state’s tenure law unconstitutional, saying it violated the rights of students to a quality education because it made the firing of bad teachers virtually impossible.

And in New York, the Partnership for Educational Justice, led by former CNN correspondent Campbell Brown, is organizing a lawsuit challenging that state’s tenure law.

In Lawrence, teachers and the Lawrence school district negotiated revised tenure rights into their new master contract for the 2014-2015 school year.

Although it still gives nonprobationary teachers the right to an administrative hearing before an independent hearing officer, the new language says the hearing officer’s decision is only advisory, and that the school board has the final say in personnel decisions.

Topeka — Independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman on Monday proposed term limits and ending pensions for members of Congress as he launched a bus tour of Kansas in a bid to unseat veteran Republican incumbent Pat Roberts.

Orman, co-founder of a Kansas City-area business capital and management services company, outlined a “congressional reform” plan that also includes eliminating political action committees controlled by congressional leaders and imposing a lifetime ban on lobbying by former lawmakers.

Orman is making the plan the focus of his bus tour, scheduling 18 stops over eight days.

Roberts also began a “listening tour” of the state Monday and has promised to visit all 105 of the state’s counties. The 78-yearold senator is seeking his fourth, six-year term in the Nov. 4 general election, and his Democratic challenger is Chad Taylor, the Shawnee County district attorney.

Orman said he won’t accept a congressional pension if he’s elected and described his proposals as

an effort to change a culture in the nation’s capital that encourages members of Congress to become career politicians.

“We’ve got a lot of incentives that, in my mind, encourage Orman the wrong people to seek elective office,” Orman said during an interview. “We want to create an environment where Washington attracts people who are genuinely interested in public service and not self-service.”

Orman’s tour schedule also included public service events, including helping at food and clothing banks in Lawrence and Topeka. He has never held elective office but ran for the U.S. Senate briefly in 2007 as a Democrat.

Both Orman and Taylor are promising to serve only two terms in the Senate if elected; both are in their 40s, pitch themselves as centrists and argue that many voters are frustrated with Washington.

Roberts, who emerged from a bruising primary race with tea party challenger Milton Wolf, a Leawood radiologist, launched his fall campaign last week by appealing to Republican voters who want to stymie

President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats by electing a GOP majority in the Senate. Leroy Towns, Roberts’ executive campaign manager, said the senator’s “first reform” would be to “dump Harry Reid,” the Nevada Democrat and U.S. Senate majority leader.

As for Orman’s plan, Towns said in an email, “It’s a stale proposal to deflect from the fact that Greg Orman can’t say he’s willing to stop Obama in his tracks at every turn.”

Taylor’s campaign manager Brandon Naylor said the Democrat welcomes reforms in congressional pensions and campaign finance laws, but said formal term limits would “artificially” restrict voters’ choices. Orman is proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to limit members of Congress to 12 years in the House and 12 years in the Senate.

“Mr. Orman’s plan is made to look good on paper, but treats the symptoms and not the disease of Washington, D.C.,” Naylor said, also in an email. “If we want new leadership, it comes down to voting out those that have overstayed their welcome.”

BRIEFLY Police name couple found dead in home Kansas City, Kan. — Police have released the names of an elderly couple found dead in the northeast Kansas home over the weekend.

Officers were called to the home in Kansas City,

Kan., on Sunday and found the man and woman dead in a car inside their garage.

They were identified Monday as 88-year-old Gerald Lorfing and his 86-year-old wife, Mary Lorfing.

Authorities have not released any details on how the couple died. The police department’s Major Case Squad asked to hear from anyone with information about the deaths.

Common goals Finding agreement between Kansas legislators and education officials on what kind of performance measures justify increased higher education funding will be a tall order.

T

he possibility of using certain performance measures as a basis for state higher education funding should spur an interesting discussion at the Kansas Board of Regents retreat that starts today.

The Kansas Legislature has expressed an interest in using some kind of “performance-based budgeting” process in Kansas, according to Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk. Other states are talking about such a system, Wilk said, and the Kansas regents should at least discuss the idea.

Where does that discussion start?

The main challenge for any performance-based budgeting was pinpointed by an official with the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems who will facilitate the regents’ discussion of the issue. “If there is not a clear statement of goals that has broad bipartisan acceptance,” said the official, “there is almost no chance of creating an outcomesbased funding model that can last.”

Reaching a “clear statement of goals” that is agreeable to both state legislators and higher education officials is no easy task.

For instance, the regents came up with their own set of goals last year, including one that aimed to increase the number of Kansans who have earned a post-secondary certificate, credential or degree to 60 percent by 2020. Currently, about 52 percent of Kansans meet that goal, and the regents saw the increase as critical to the state’s future.

Even though everyone with a trade certificate to a doctoral degree would be counted in that 60 percent, the regents drew criticism from at least one legislator who saw their goal as “elitist.”

Graduation rates might be one way to measure outcomes, but there may be disagreement about what measures are acceptable to ensure that more students earn degrees in two or four years. For instance, some legislators may balk at raising admissions standards, as Kansas University has done, as a way to ensure entering students are well-prepared to complete degrees. It’s also important not to water down degree requirements in order to boost graduation rates.

At the heart of this debate is the need for the regents and university leaders to prove to legislators how important higher education is to the future of the state. Using performance measures to justify funding is a two-way street. Currently, legislators seem unwilling to increase higher education funding for almost any reason. In fact, Kansas already has approved a system that ties new state funds to specific university goals, but since state universities haven’t received any new base funding in recent years, the system hasn’t been used.

It’s good that the regents are having this discussion, but reaching consensus among themselves on performancebased budgeting goals won’t mean much unless they do a far better job in telling their story and providing the evidence that will justify legislative support, positive action and adequate funding.

U.S. should engage Latin America Watching President Barack Obama at his mega-summit with nearly 50 African heads of state in Washington, D.C., in which he announced $33 billion in investments and vowed to increase access to electricity to 60 million African households, many of us asked ourselves the same question — why doesn’t he do the same with Latin America?

The conventional wisdom among the thousands of dignitaries and business people who converged on Washington for the Aug. 5 U.S.Africa Leaders Summit was that the Obama administration organized the event in a desperate effort to catch up with China. In recent years, China has become Africa’s top business partner.

Well, I’ve got news for U.S. policy makers: If Washington continues to pay little attention to Latin America, the same will happen there. It’s already happening in several countries in the region.

Not only China, but also Russia and Japan — whose heads of state visited Latin America in recent weeks — have announced big plans to expand their presence in the region. While some of us are skeptical of China’s promises — more about that later — Beijing’s rise in the region has been impressive.

The U.S. share of Latin America’s trade has dropped from 53 percent of the region’s worldwide trade in 2000, to 35 percent in 2013.

Meanwhile, China’s share has

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

The U.S. share of Latin America’s trade has dropped from 53 percent of the region’s worldwide trade in 2000, to 35 percent in 2013.”

soared from 1.9 percent to 12 percent over the same period, according to Inter-American Development Bank figures.

What’s more, if current trends continue, by 2025, Latin America’s trade with the United States will have declined further to 17 percent of its total trade, while Latin America’s trade with China will have reached 17 percent, says chief IADB trade economist Mauricio Moreira.

Asked why there’s no U.S.-Latin America Summit in Washington, like the Africa summit, Washington insiders point out that the United States holds a regular Summit of the Americas every three or four years.

The next Summit of the Americas is to be held in Panama in 2015.

But recent Summits of the Americas have been a flop, to a large extent because of Venezuela’s petro-dollar diplomacy, which virtually controls the votes of at least 16 Central American and Caribbean countries through its Petrocaribe-subsidized oil shipments, and because of Brazil’s reluctance to work for the success of any summit it does not lead.

So what can the United States do? Here are three things, for starters: First, the Obama administration should show the region that it cares. Everybody understands that Secretary of State John Kerry is tied up with more urgent matters in the Middle East and Ukraine, but so far this year only two of his 21 trips abroad were to the region.

And for last week’s secondterm inauguration of Colombia’s President Juan Manuel Santos, which was attended by the presidents of Mexico, Peru and several other countries, the White House sent U.S. State Department counselor Thomas Shannon, a highly respected diplomat, but hardly a celebrity.

Second, Obama could build his legacy in the region by proposing a new plan to deepen trade and investment relations with the 11 countries in the region with which the United States has free trade agreements, including Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile.

The White House is currently negotiating free trade agreements with mostly

Asian Pacific Rim countries and the 28-nation European Union. Kerry told me in an exclusive interview in December that he is “exploring” a regional trade initiative in the Americas, starting with deepening ties with Mexico and Canada, but that’s the last I heard of it.

Third, Obama should counter PetroCaribe with a U.S.-Caribe initiative, taking advantage of the fact that Venezuela has gone bankrupt and its oil facilities are crumbling, while the United States will soon become self-sufficient in energy, and may even become an oil exporter.

Petro-diplomacy may be used by Washington, just as it has been used by Venezuela, some Washington insiders are thinking.

My opinion: I don’t buy right-wing Republican claims that Obama has “lost Latin America.” Former President George W. Bush’s cowboy diplomacy and conservative Republicans’ current anti-immigration stands have done much more harm to U.S. foreign policy than Obama’s efforts to be a peacenik.

But Obama should engage with Latin America, at least with the 11 countries that have free trade deals with Washington. The U.S. economy is recovering, and China’s is slowing down. It’s time for Obama to focus on Latin America, much like he did on Africa last week.

The car is built especially for speed and to get to fires before they have had time to advance. … The new car is not what would be called a fire truck but is a chief’s car and is built to carry four firemen. There will be two large chemical tanks on the car that will service the purpose of putting out the fire in all ordinary circumstances.”

Invest in education To the editor: The governor, in his re-election sermon, sanctifies his tax cuts because they provide access to our own money to invest. For many of us the question becomes: “Do I invest this recaptured capital in a nice shiny penny stock, a get rich scheme or perhaps some ramen noodles for dinner.”

Kansans would benefit most from a collective investment in quality education. I know the question will arise: “Who will pay for this socialist program?” The simple answer has to be “everyone.” Reinvestment compounds profits.

The governor needs to take some advice from his spiritual leader in Rome when he said money should be made to “serve” people not to “rule” them. Et cum spiritu tuo.

NATIONAL FORECAST

Baghdad — Iraq’s president snubbed incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and picked another politician Monday to form the next government, setting up a fierce political power struggle even as the country battles extremists in the north and west.

Haider al-Ibadi, the deputy speaker of parliament from al-Maliki’s Shiite Dawa party, was selected by President Fouad Massoum to be the new prime minister and was given 30 days to present a new government to lawmakers for approval.

U.S. President Barack Obama called al-Ibadi’s nomination a “promising step forward” and he urged “all Iraqi political leaders to work peacefully through the

groups that there is no importance or value to this nomination,” he added.

But despite angrily insisting he should be nominated for a third term, al-Maliki has lost some support with the main coalition of Shiite parties.

His critics say al-Maliki contributed to Iraq’s political crisis by monopolizing power and pursuing a sectarian agenda that alienated the country’s Sunni and Kurdish minorities.

In welcoming the new Iraqi leadership amid the country’s worst crisis since U.S. troops withdrew in 2011, Obama said the only lasting solution is the formation of an inclusive government.

“These have been difficult days in Iraq,” Obama said while on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. “I’m sure there are going to be difficult days ahead.”

San Francisco — Robin Williams, the Academy Award winner and comic supernova whose explosions of pop culture riffs and impressions dazzled audiences for decades and made him a gleamy-eyed laureate for the Information Age, died Monday in an apparent suicide.

He was 63.

Williams was pronounced dead at his home in CaliWilliams fornia on Monday, according to the sheriff’s office in Marin County, north of San Francisco.

The sheriff’s office said a preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to asphyxia.

“This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken,” said Williams’ wife, Susan Schneider. “On behalf of Robin’s family, we are asking for privacy dur-

DOING YOGA REGULARLY CAN MAKE YOU LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INJURY, increase overall strength and muscle tone, and improve flexibility, balance, and range of motion. These are just the physical benefits of yoga. Many people who practice yoga notice that it also reinforces good health habits and often leads to a better mood and sense of well-being.

Injury or illness? Regular practice can improve health

By Lucas Patrick Miller Special to the Journal-World

Many people start practicing yoga because it is an effective means of treating or managing a variety of illnesses and injuries.

Yoga has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. It can also reduce risk factors for certain conditions like heart disease and high blood pressure. Doing yoga regularly can make you less susceptible to injury, increase overall strength and muscle tone, and improve flexibility, balance, and range of motion.

Skilled instructors will also show you how to use props. Props are objects, such as wooden blocks, that can assist you in achieving poses that are otherwise unattainable as a result of your injury, illness, or other physical limitation.

One of the best things about yoga is that everyone can participate, regardless of health issues, age, or current fitness level. A sequence of yoga poses done under the supervision of an experienced instructor can help you feel better physically and mentally. Good luck and enjoy your yoga journey!

Hydration 101: Are you getting enough water?

By Aynsley Anderson Special to the Journal-World

You may wonder if you’ve been drinking enough water, especially in the summer heat.

There’s a lot of confusing advice out there about how much you really need. The truth is that most healthy bodies are very good at regulating water.

Elderly people, young children and some special cases — like people taking certain medications—need to be a little more careful.

What you need to know Water is involved in all body processes. You need the proper amount for those processes to work

correctly. The body regulates how much water it keeps so it can maintain levels of the various minerals it needs to work properly.

But every time you breathe out, sweat, urinate or have a bowel movement, you lose some fluid. When you lose fluid, your blood can become more concentrated.

Healthy people compensate by releasing stores of water, mostly from muscles. Then, of course, you get thirsty.

That’s your body’s way of telling you it needs more water.

At a certain point, however, if you lose enough water, your body can’t compensate. Eventually, you can become dehydrated, meaning that your body doesn’t have enough fluid to work properly. Any healthy per-

arents, how many times has this happened to you?

Your child is doing something adorable — laughing hysterically, fully in the moment — when, instead of savoring this completely organic occasion, you … search for your cellphone.

You feel your pocket, look on your coffee table, before seeing the boxy, plastic shellcovered device sitting on the kitchen counter.

You get up, grab the phone, pull up your camera app, swipe over to video mode, hit record … aaaand your kid is no longer doing what she was doing to make you frantically hunt for your phone in the place. Ugh. Welcome to the age of the smartphone! Isn’t it grand?

Smartphones are the ultimate gift/curse.

They’re a gift because they give you the convenience of having one device for tasks (accessing the Internet, GPS navigation, photography, video recording) that used to require many.

Knowing you’re always plugged in is the curse.

You might be lounging on a beach in the Caribbean, sipping an umbrella-shaded drink, but as long as you have your phone you’ll be tempted to check your work emails or take a selfie or post about what a great time you’re having on Facebook.

Now this digitally induced mania has infected our parenting.

I love that I can share important moments from my daughter’s infancy with friends and family members who live hundreds of miles away.

Dear Annie: I’m a young woman with a degree in education.

After spending several years as a student teacher and co-teacher, I decided that I really don’t want to remain in teaching. I know I should have switched majors in college, but I hoped this would work out. I also was worried about what my family would think.

These same wellmeaning family members are now actively pushing me to accept a teaching position in a nearby small town. I went to the interview to please them, but the entire time, I was wishing I were somewhere else. I have told only my immediate family that I’m going to turn down the job if offered.

So what do I tell these other relatives about my job decision? How

KISS doc leaves a lot to be desired As a critic who has to think about popular culture, I’ve come to theorize that the most annoying phenomena tends to be the most long-lasting. Take reality television. Madonna. The musicals of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Or the curious career of KISS. Formed in 1973, K I S S emerged as a nearparody of glamrock at a time when that evanescent musical genre was fading. Again, interesting stuff seems to come and go in a flash. It’s the boring bits that never go away.

And KISS is still around.

They even made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year — a full (and some would say begrudging) 15 years after becoming eligible.

Part of KISS’s ability to linger is member Gene Simmons’ persistence in appearing on reality television shows where he contrasts his “wild” stage image with his buttoned-down personality, that of a slightly Shatner-esque blowhard.

Tonight, Simmons joins fellow band member Paul Stanley and manager Doc McGhee on “4th and Loud” (8 p.m., AMC), a documentary take on their co-ownership of an Anaheim, Calif., arena football team.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACK MONTELL COZART, RIGHT, SHARES A LAUGH with quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus during practice on Monday at the KU practice fields.

Kansas QB’s confidence soaring

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If Montell Cozart had been born just a couple of weeks later, someone else probably would be starting at quarterback for Kansas University’s football team this fall.

Monday was Cozart’s 19th birthday, and instead of preparing to enter college as an incoming freshman, the sophomore from Bishop

Miege High was out at preseason camp prepping for his first full season as the Jayhawks’ starter.

Young in the face but wise where it counts, Cozart spent the past few months finetuning his game so he would be ready for showtime. He worked on his accuracy by widening his base. He developed his relationships with KU quarterbacks coach Ron Powlus and first-year offen-

sive coordinator John Reagan.

And he pushed himself out of his comfort zone to force himself to become a better leader.

The area of the Montell makeover that registered the highest marks was confidence. Maybe that came because he was named the starter after a strong spring.

Maybe it developed throughout the summer when the title of Big 12 starting quarterback first began to feel

real. Or maybe it began to take shape the day after the spring game, when he read comments from senior Keon Stowers, a co-captain last season, who said a quarterback like Cozart was exactly what this team needed.

“That just showed me that these guys have confidence in me,” Cozart said of Stowers’ words. “For him to say that, Please see COZART, page 3C

Fearless signal-caller can hoop, too Walking on the right side of a fine line that divides running for big gains from unnecessarily exposing himself to injury is one of many aspects of his game sophomore quarterback Montell Cozart will seek to improve.

The same is true for risking interception vs. throwing the ball away. He erred on the side of caution in both areas last season.

Many consider fear, not failure, to be the opposite of success. At the same time, it doesn’t pay to be reckless.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Cozart showed fearlessness in his session with the media Monday afternoon before heading out to the practice field. He was not afraid to take on the bas-

ketball team, around which Lawrence revolves in so many ways.

Cozart didn’t say anything that could revive the ill will that existed between the basketball and football teams a few years back. His words were all in good fun, but he did want to let everyone know he can hoop.

“I know I’m not supposed to say this,” Cozart started, uttering a reporter’s favorite phrase, “but one time we were at the rec (center), and the football players played

the basketball players, and we actually beat them.”

Cozart said he, former tight end Charles Brooks, wide receivers Nick Harwell and Tony Pierson and basketball walk-on Christian Garrett took on Naadir Tharpe, Frank Mason, Jamari Traylor, Joel Embiid and one other player whose identity he could not recall.

“We went to 15 and beat them 15-12,” Cozart said. “It was a good game. It went Please see KEEGAN, page 3C

Royals upend A’s, take Central lead Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Alcides Escobar pumped his fist. Jarrod Dyson did a backflip. And for the first time in more than a decade, the Kansas City Royals were in first place in mid-August.

Yordano Ventura outpitched Sonny Gray in a matchup of talented young starters Monday night, and Escobar drove in the goahead run as Kansas City beat the Oakland Athletics 3-2 to take over the AL Central lead from Detroit with its eighth consecutive victory.

“You want to be in first place. Our goal was to get back to first place,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“Now our goal is to stay in first place.”

The Royals trailed the Tigers by eight games on July 21, but their 16th win in 19 games wiped away the deficit and gave them the lead at the latest point in a season since 2003.

“We’re playing great,” said Escobar, who drove in a run in the second inning before his two-out single off Gray (12-6) in the seventh gave Kansas City the lead for good.

Ventura lasted through six innings before giving way to Kelvin Herrera (3-2), who tossed a spotless seventh. Wade Davis breezed through the eighth and Greg Holland worked the ninth Please see ROYALS, page 3C

COMMENTARY

I watched the video as many times as I felt I had to, which is to say I watched the video too many times.

The sprint car driven by Tony Stewart and the sprint car driven by Kevin Ward Jr. became entangled Saturday night at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in New York.

Stewart, who is 43 and probably one of the best drivers in NASCAR history, kept moving.

Ward, the 20-year-old who had considerable racing experience in New York’s Finger Lakes region, had his car hit the wall. Stewart pinched him.

Ward’s car was turned around, the right rear tire flat, his evening ended.

Unable to race onto the track, Ward walked onto it, immediately pointing a finger and obviously looking for Stewart.

It was a caution lap. Maybe Ward felt safe as the drivers slowed. He obviously felt wronged.

Ward took several steps.

The driver in front of Stewart avoided Ward. Stewart did not. Stewart hit Ward and Ward was dragged beneath Stewart’s car. Ward slid down the dirt surface and finally stopped, face up.

He died before he reached the hospital.

Stewart’s detractors will blame Stewart.

They’ll say Stewart’s career is full of confrontations, a testament to his temper. Did he expect local drivers to defer?

Did he accelerate as he approached Ward? Was that the sound of his engine revving as he came up on Ward? Did Stewart try to scare him, buzz him? Did he lose control on the dirt?

Stewart’s supporters will defend Stewart.

Why, during a race, did Ward walk onto the track?

They’ll point out that the part of the track on which Ward stood was not as well lit as some other parts. Ward wore a black fire suit and black helmet. And Stewart could have been screened by the driver in front of him. Sprint cars drift. And as Stewart moved to avoid Ward, the back end of his car drifted.

No racing story in 2014 has been as talked about, or will be as dissected, as this one. No racing story comes close.

The circumstances push us to take a side.

But I can’t find a side to take.

However, this was not “just racin’.”

And this was not Ward’s time, as if there was some giant celestial ticking clock that forced him out of his car and onto the track.

After looking at the video a 20th time — and the 20th time was more odious than the previous 19 — I think I saw a tragic accident.

I hope not to see it again.

A SMALL MEMORIAL OF FLOWERS RESTS OUTSIDE THE FENCE AT CANANDAIGUA MOTORSPORTS PARK on Monday in Canandaigua, New York. On Saturday night, Tony Stewart struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr., 20, a sprint-car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the track trying to confront Stewart during a race at the track in upstate New York.

Late driver recalled as fearless, dedicated Port Leyden, N.Y. — Kevin Ward Jr. was crafting a reputation as a wheelman, the kind of driver who could race vehicles on any track without fear.

He’d sit up on his seat, floor it, and zip his way through a maze of cars straight toward the front of the pack.

For points. For fun. Often for little money.

“He would go to tracks that a lot of other drivers wouldn’t go to,” Chuck Miller, the race director and president for the Empire Super Sprints circuit, said Monday. “If we had co-sanctioned races with other organizations where we really weren’t giving points or anything, but it was a deal where you wanted to see how you stacked up against the other competition, the Wards were willing to go and do that and see where they were at.”

Ward began racing go-karts in 1998 at age 4. In 2010, he moved on to sprint cars and was Empire Super Sprint racing rookie of the year in 2012. The 20-year-old raced mostly on dirt tracks a few hours from his home in Port Leyden, a village of 700 in northern New York.

Ward was killed Saturday night about 140 miles away at a clay track in Canandaigua.

NASCAR champion Tony Stewart was the big name in the field, racing with the young guys while he was in the area for a Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen the next day.

Ward and Stewart tangled, and Ward hit the wall. Ward walked on the track apparently to confront Stewart and was struck when Stewart’s vehicle seemed to fishtail.

After the crash, Ward was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car on the dimly lit track. According to video and witness accounts, Ward was struck by the right rear tire and hurtled through the air.

Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once Sat- Ward urday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators don’t have any evidence at this point to support criminal intent. Povero said Monday there were no plans “at this time” to talk to Stewart again.

“At this time, there are no facts that exist that support any criminal behavior or conduct, or that any probable cause of a criminal act, in this investigation,” he said.

Povero said the autopsy was completed Monday and found Ward died of blunt force trauma.

Stewart hasn’t announced whether he’ll drive in this weekend’s NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway, but his short track “hobby” is on hold. He won’t appear Saturday in a race in Warsaw, Indiana.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Duke LB hurts knee Durham, N.C. — Duke linebacker Kelby Brown will have an MRI after injuring his left knee during preseason camp.

Team spokesman Art Chase said in an email that the fifth-year senior was rushing the quarterback during Monday’s scrimmage when he was hurt.

Brown entered his final season as the undisputed leader of a Duke defense that improved significantly last year during a surprise run to an Atlantic Coast Conference division championship. Brown was an all-ACC first-team pick

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

and one of the league’s top tacklers with 114 as Duke reached the ACC title game.

Brown suffered torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee late in the 2010 season, then red-shirted the 2012 season after tearing his right ACL again.

Sooner LB faces suspension Norman, Okla. — The University of Oklahoma has voted to suspend linebacker Frank Shannon for a year, but the school has been unable to enforce the decision.

In a news release on Monday, school president David L. Boren said the school’s internal disciplinary process voted on June 18 to remove Shannon for a violation of its Title IX policy, which covers sexual misconduct.

Shannon, who has been practicing with the team, started all 13 games last year and led the team with 92 tackles. He had a career-high 16 tackles against Texas last season and had 2.5 tackles for loss against Iowa State the same year, including two sacks.

COLLEGES

CSU rewards three coaches Fort Collins, Colo. — Seventy-two hours after firing athletic director Jack Graham, Colorado State announced that football coach Jim McElwain has signed a new five-year contract through 2019.

Interim athletic director John Morris also announced new deals Monday for volleyball coach Tom Hilbert and women’s basketball coach Ryun Williams.

SOCCER

Sporting, Peterson part ways Kansas City, Kan. — Sporting Kansas City has terminated the contract of Peterson Joseph in what the club calls a mutual decision.

The 24-year-old midfielder from Haiti has been on the disabled list since the start of the season following an unknown medical issue that arose during last year’s playoff push.

Joseph has not played in a match for the MLS Cup champions since last October.

Joseph appeared in 36 matches during his Sporting KC career, including three matches in the CONCACAF Champions League and three U.S. Open Cup victories.

RYDER CUP

Watson considering Woods Louisville, Ky. — U.S. captain Tom Watson said he would be foolish not to consider Tiger Woods as one of his three wild-card selections for the Ryder Cup, a decision that ultimately would be based on Woods’ words instead of his actions.

Watson has said all year he wanted Woods on his team if he were healthy and playing well.

Even though Woods is injured and not playing for the next month, Watson wouldn’t rule him out Monday.

“I can’t assess his medical condition and I honestly can’t assess how he’s playing,” Watson said. “It really is going to be having to come from information from Tiger himself. But, again, I don’t make this comment loosely. He is Tiger Woods and he brings a lot to the team — if he has the ability to play and he’s healthy. He brings a lot to the team. And I’d be a fool not to consider him.”

Chiefs’ Charles ‘loves’ to block, too St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — Jamaal Charles took a shovel pass from Alex Smith, darted through a hole in front of a few thousand fans — and was promptly laid out by Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson.

No worries, even in a training camp practice.

The Pro Bowl running back popped up after a few seconds, brushed himself off and headed

back to the huddle, knowing full well that he would have a chance to deliver a little payback the next time his fellow Texas alum came on a blitz.

You see, Charles may be known for his slick moves and world-class speed, but he also relishes a chance to lay the lumber on an unsuspecting defensive back or hard-charging linebacker.

Cozart

risma and leadership, to have a guy like that leading your team is just exciting,” senior running back Taylor Cox said. “He’s a tremendous athlete, and he brings a lot of different dynamics that you can throw at a defense, so that’s also exciting.”

Added senior tight end Jimmay Mundine: “Despite how young he is, he’s determined not to let us older guys down.”

That’s a big part of the equation for Cozart, who said he occasionally watches tape of the way Todd Reesing played at Kansas. Last season, he sat back and said little, even while starting the final three games of the season.

“Just jitters,” he said.

“Not comfortable. Not confident in the offense and not having confidence in myself. But I feel a lot more confident this year.”

Cozart’s confidence has reached such a high level that he had no problem laying out his goals.

He didn’t talk numbers, touchdowns or even wins, though.

“I wanted to stay (close to home) and be one of those hometown heroes that you hear about and put Kansas back on the map,” he said. “Hopefully we’re going to do that this year. ... Those guys are counting on me, and I’m ready for it and looking forward to it.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

even though he’s not supposed to, just showed me that these guys believe in me. I thank him for that.

Every day I go out there I just lean on my teammates and their confidence in me and go from there.”

Cozart has been through something like this before. After playing defensive back as a sophomore at Miege, he jumped into the quarterback competition as a junior, won the job, started the next two seasons in a spread offense and had wild success. Different levels, different worlds, of course, but that experience is aiding Cozart today.

“I feel like it’s the same situation,” he said.

“There, I competed with other QBs, and I kind of did the same thing. And now I feel I’m going to be tested early, and hopefully it works out the same way. I’ve been here before. I’m ready for it.”

Up 10 pounds from the end of last season, Cozart looks bigger and more sure of himself on the field. To this point, that has shown only in practice. But his teammates say Cozart is ready for the bright lights.

“Just his natural cha-

“I love contact,” Charles explained. “I don’t like getting embarrassed when a linebacker tries to bull rush me. I told my (fellow) running backs, ‘This is the Jamaal Charles rule: As long as you can hold them for three seconds, you’re good.’”

In other words, Charles promises to hold the fort for three seconds. If the quarterback fails to get

rid of the ball by then, whatever happens next is on them.

He’s done a good job of it, too. Replay game films from last season, when Charles was having the most productive year of his career, and you’ll find that he was also doing his duty protecting Alex Smith. It’s for that reason Charles has become a rarity in the league, an every-down running back

who remains on the field even in obvious passing downs.

“You have to have the motivation to do it,” he said. “You just have to be hungry. You just have to feel like you have to go knock their head off before they knock yours off.”

Charles said he learned the importance of blocking during his days at Texas, when people be-

gan to question his NFL potential given his relatively slight stature. If he was going to make it in the league, he would have to be able to block the biggest, burliest guys around.

Even now, when a rookie such as De’Anthony Thomas arrives in Kansas City, Charles puts his arm around his shoulder and explains, “If you can’t block, you can’t play.”

Reaney finished the 200 breast in 2:29.27 on Thursday. Saturday, she clocked 1:06.74 in the 100 breast.

The 21-year-old finished 17th overall in individual scoring at the meet. Olympic gold medalist Missy Franklin was the top point-scorer with 77.

Reaney broke her own American record in the 200-yard breaststroke as a junior at Notre Dame when she swam a time of 2:04:06 at the NCAA Championships.

Kansas University women’s golf coach Erin O’Neil has signed another Thailand native, Pitsinee “Lizzie” Winyarat, to a national letter of intent.

Winyarat attended Bromsgrove International School Thailand in Bangkok for her high school career.

The school is located within the grounds of a 36hole golf course and home of junior golf in Thailand.

Winyarat will be the third member currently on the KU roster from Thailand, joining junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn and sophomore Pornvipa Sakdee.

Brewers 3, Cubs 1 Chicago — Yovani Gallardo pitched seven sparkling innings, and Khris Davis had a tiebreaking RBI double, leading the Milwaukee to a victory over the Cubs.

Gallardo bounced back nicely from a sluggish outing against San Francisco, allowing one run and six hits while improving to 9-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 career starts against Chicago.

Mark Reynolds connected for his 20th homer as Milwaukee opened a seven-game trip with its fourth victory in five games.

Coming off his worst start of the year, Jake Arrieta gave up two runs and five hits in 71⁄3 innings for the Cubs.
