Just Food continues to wrangle with $50K tax bill By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

VICE MAYOR LESLIE SODEN AND CITY COMMISSIONER MIKE AMYX GREET EACH OTHER before a special commission meeting Friday at City Hall to take formal action on the resignation of Mayor Jeremy Farmer and receive public comments on filling the vacancy and filling the position of mayor. The commission is expected to name a new mayor and vice mayor at their next meeting Tuesday.

Commissioners accept mayor’s resignation; replacement unclear By Peter Hancock
“
residents showed up to watch the proceedings at 2 p.m. Friday, with many of them offering comments about the selection of the next mayor and how the city should fill the vacant commission seat. On the selection of mayor, several people suggested that Mike Amyx, who has held the position before and is now the only commissioner with more than three months’ experience on the job, should be the obvious choice. “Although the members that are active on the commission right now seem to be doing a good job, you only have one person on the commission who has experience being on the commission,” said Carol Klinknett, one of several Lawrence residents who spoke out Friday.

Instead, commissioners agreed to take up those matters at their next regular business meeting Tuesday, starting with the naming of a new mayor. Farmer submitted his resignation Wednesday, two days
— Ted Boyle, a North Lawrence resident after he resigned as director of the nonprofit food bank Just Food over an issue of $50,000 in unpaid federal payroll taxes. In the days since, city officials have raised new questions about his travel expenses and use of a city credit card during the brief time —about three months — he served as mayor. Commissioners held a special meeting Friday to accept Farmer’s resignation and to hear comments from the public about how they think the city should proceed.
“It’s been a tough week, a very tough week,” Commissioner Mike Amyx said after the meeting. “This started for us Monday morning, a little after 8 a.m., I guess.” Farmer did not attend Tuesday’s City Commission meeting. Commissioner Leslie Soden, who holds the title of vice mayor, has served as acting mayor since then. She will continue in that role until the commission names a new mayor. Despite the unusual time of the meeting, at least two dozen
Even though former Mayor Jeremy Farmer resigned from a charity after failing to pay $50,000 in federal payroll taxes, it is the Just Food board that will face the ire of the Internal Revenue Service, an expert on nonprofits said Friday. “When the IRS goes after somebody, they go after the board,” said Brent Never, an assistant professor of nonprofit leadership at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. “They are the fiduciary agent. They are the ones who sign on the bottom line.” The Lawrence community learned Monday that Just Food, the city’s largest food bank, had an employee tax liability of $50,000. Just Food leaders also said Monday they were investigating whether the agency owed additional back taxes to the Kansas Department of Revenue. On Friday, Just Food board president Kristi Henderson said the board had engaged an accountant with the Please see TAX, page 7A

City may reduce lanes Residents look toward brighter future in Cuba on portion of Kasold Drive

When Joe Nobo was 14, his mother sent him away from Havana on a plane headed toward asylum in the United States. It would be at most six months, his mother told him and his 16-year-old brother — then they could come back home. The year Nobo boarded that plane was 1961. It was the same year Fidel Castro proclaimed Cuba a communist state. The same year that diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Cuba were severed — a break that would last over 50 years. Prior to that flight, Nobo had spent
almost six months in a Havana jail for his opposition to the communist regime. “My family sacrificed to give me that freedom, to put me on an airplane and send me to America,” Nobo said, noting the complicated process it was for his mother to arrange it. The U.S. and Cuba have announced a “normalization” of diplomatic relations, and on Friday, Secretary of State John Kerry visited Cuba to raise the American flag over the U.S. embassy in Havana.

But then the Gforces subside, and I again become a bit uncertain about the notion that Lawrence residents are going to be less reliant on cars in the future. But maybe they will. City commissioners on Tuesday will be trying to figure that out. Commissioners are receiving a recommendation from engineers to reduce the number of lanes on a portion of Kasold Drive when it

A relative of Ann’s who was also a friend of Nate’s introduced the couple. Ann was student at K-State and Nate was studying at KU.

is rebuilt next year. City engineers are recommending that the section of Kasold Drive between Eighth Street and 14th Street be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction, down from the current configuration of two lanes of traffic in each direction. The road would include a center turn lane. Engineers also are recommending a single-lane roundabout at Harvard Road and Kasold, which further will reduce the capacity of the road. It has not been the norm for growing cities to reduce the size of their major streets, but engineers say the numbers back them up on this one. There just aren’t going to be that many more people driving on this section of Kasold Drive over the next 20 years, engineers say. The current peak hour traffic volumes for this section of Kasold are 651 vehicles per hour. By 2040, that peak hour demand is only expected to grow to 736 vehicles per hour.

That’s certainly a

number that city commissioners will like. But the number that probably deserves the most scrutiny is whether traffic volumes on this section of Kasold will actually grow by less than 1 percent per year. If traffic volumes grow at a more significant rate during the next two decades, commissioners may regret the decision to reduce the size of the road. I’m no traffic engineer (I’m pretty sure my efforts to reinforce the handle I hold onto while in the passenger’s seat don’t count) but engineers are expressing confidence in the projections. They note that traffic volumes on that stretch of Kasold from 1995 to 2013 have grown by about 0.4 percent per year. They’re using a projection of 0.5 percent growth per year for the next 20 years. In case you are wondering, the section of road has about 14,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day on it, according to Kansas Department of Transportation figures. But it is worth noting that the numbers have been a little unpredictable over the years. In 1998, for example, traffic volumes were near 18,000 on portions of the road. In 2004, they were near 17,000. If the road starts seeing those type of volumes again, that could change the long-term outlook for the corridor. The city has had a meeting with neighbors and businesses in the area. The reaction to reducing the road to one lane in each direction has been mixed. Some have liked the idea of making the road more pedestrian friendly and the slower speeds that would come with the one-lane road. Others, though, have said it will make it difficult for people who have driveways along the road, and they note that currently traffic flows on that road very well. Commissioners will sort it out at Tuesday’s meeting, which begins at 5:45 p.m. at City Hall. — This is an excerpt from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column, which appears each weekday at LJWorld.com.

Reps. from Kan. asked about security threat Wichita (ap) — Members of Kansas’ congressional delegation hesitated Friday when asked during a summit whether the Islamic State group or Russia is more of a threat to the United States today. After lengthy, awkward silence among the three Republicans, Rep. Tim Huelskamp said Fort Riley is on the front lines of the fight against the Islamic State so the group is first on his mind. Rep. Mike Pompeo said none of them answered the question right away “because it is a bit of a parlor game.” The summit was hosted by The Kansas Chamber and the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce. Pompeo, a former Army officer and member of the House Intelligence Committee, cited additional threats from China, Syria and the reach of global terror into the U.S. He noted that FBI Director James Comey talked recently about investigations of radical Islamic extremism in every state, including Kansas. “These are very real, they take leadership to respond to and we are 18 months from having a chance to get that leadership,” Pompeo said, referring to the 2016 election. Rep. Lynn Jenkins also used the security threat question as an opportunity to attack the Obama administration. “We are not going to pick and choose one or the other because the fact is we are under assault from so many fronts,” she said. “And I think that the frustration we all have is that it appears the administration is not taking this seriously as they need to — whether it is Russia or ISIS.” Kansas’ fourth representative in Congress, Kevin Yoder, and Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts did not attend the summit. The entire Kansas delegation is made up of Republicans. The three representatives who did attend briefly answered a wide range of questions, but broke little new ground: l Huelskamp, a tea party favorite and one of the chamber’s most conservative members, railed against the federal government’s debt and said Congress will ultimately raise the debt ceiling. “No worries, there will not be a default ... it is not going to happen,” Huelskamp said. l Pompeo lauded the legislation approved by the House that would prohibit states from requiring labels on genetically modified foods, and expressed confidence the president would sign the bill if the Senate passes it. l Jenkins, who sits on the House Committee on Ways and Means, said there’s a “really good chance” Congress will come together on a longrange transportation bill because there are, as she put it, “no good options” otherwise.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said “Kansas is headed in the right direction� when it comes to fair and impartial policing Friday as he spoke on a panel in Topeka at the Kansas Civil Rights Symposium. The symposium, which was held at the Brown vs. Board of Education Historic Site in Topeka, was organized by U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office to engage law enforcement and citizens on issues involving civil rights. Khatib was selected to speak on a panel — along with Grissom; Renee Wiggins, president of the Kansas State Conference of the NAACP; and Rita Valenciano of the U.S. Department of Justice Community Relations Service — regarding building trust between police and the communities they serve.

Man rejects plea deal in disabled resident’s death By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos
A 48-year-old Eudora man charged with first-degree murder will stand trial next month after formally rejecting a plea deal Friday. The man, Ronald Eugene Heskett, is accused of killing a 65-year-old disabled Lawrence man in his care on Sept. 12, 2014. Prosecutors alleged at a preliminary hearing that Heskett suffocated Vance “Van� Moulton for financial reasons, but Heskett claimed in a police interview that it was an assisted suicide. Moulton had cerebral palsy and had limited mobility. Heskett worked as a home health care attendant for Moulton, who was
found dead with a towel around his neck at his residence at Prairie Ridge Place Apartments, 2424 Melrose Lane. On Friday, Senior Assistant District Attorney Eve Kemple told District Judge Peggy Kittel that she’d offered Heskett the chance Heskett to plead guilty as charged, and in return she would have allowed Heskett to argue “mitigating factors� at sentencing. That would have meant Heskett could have been eligible for a 25 years to life sentence, instead of the mandatory “Hard 50� — or 50 years to life.
Instead, Heskett chose to try his case before a jury. His trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 14. Heskett will return to court Aug. 25, when his attorney and prosecutors will argue pretrial motions. According to Friday’s hearing, the state will be asking Kittel to allow them to inform jurors of Heskett’s “previous crimes or civil wrongs.� According to Douglas County court records, the IRS had taken Heskett to court in 2001, and a debt collector had taken him to court in 2013. Heskett’s attorney, Mike Warner, will be arguing a motion in limine, or a motion to ask the judge to ban certain evidence from being introduced at trial. Heskett remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $500,000 bond.
This fall, around 40 senior citizens living in Douglas County will no longer receive their daily meals through Douglas County Senior Services’ congregate meal sites. Those sites, which include two in Lawrence and one in both Baldwin City and Eudora, will be eliminated Sept. 30, in favor of a new program offered through the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging, said DCSS board member Judy Bellome. The new program, called Choosing Healthy Appetizing Meal Plan Solutions for Seniors, or CHAMPSS, will begin Oct. 1 and offer seniors a wider variety of meal options through designated Lawrence grocery stores,
Sign up Orientation for the CHAMPSS program will be held at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St., at 2 p.m. on Sept. 1, Oct. 5, Nov. 2 and Dec. 7. Additional information can be found through JAAA at 235-1367. Bellome said. “We’ve gotten decreased federal funding for meals and we’ve also seen decreasing people coming to the congregate meals in the center,� Bellome said. “Which is why the Area Agency on Aging came up with CHAMPSS.� Please see SENIOR, page 5A

Fort Leavenworth considered for Gitmo detainees Washington (ap) — The Defense Department is taking another look at Kansas’ Fort Leavenworth and the Navy Brig in South Carolina as it evaluates potential U.S. facilities to house detainees from the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, part of the Obama administration’s controversial push to close the detention center. Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said a team was survey-
ing the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth on Friday and will do a similar assessment at the Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston later this month. Davis said the team will assess the costs associated with construction and other changes that would be needed in order to use the facility to house the detainees as well as conduct military commission trials for those accused of war crimes.
The closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention center has been a top priority for President Barack Obama, who pledged on his first day in office to shut it down. But that effort has faced persistent hurdles, including opposition from Republicans and some Democrats in Congress and difficulties transferring out the dozens of detainees who have been cleared to leave.

Washington, D.C. Nobo never did return to Cuba. Three years after he and his brother left, their mother was able to join them in the U.S., and they eventually settled in Topeka, where she worked as a doctor. Nobo, who has lived in Lawrence the past 25 years, has since headed various business endeavors, and raised three children with his wife, Melissa. None of his children or his five grandchildren have visited Cuba, and because of the normalization, such a trip seems possible for the first time. “They’ll be able to see their heritage. They cannot see or will never experience what my family did in Cuba until they Nobo are able to go over there,” Nobo said, explaining that because of his past in Cuba, it isn’t yet safe for him to return. “I can tell them stories, which I tell them all the time, but talking about Alonso it and touching it are different.” Raciel Alonso, a dual Cuban and American citizen, has lived in Lawrence for five years working on his doctorate degree in Spanish Falicov at Kansas University. Alonso left Cuba in 1994 when he was 10 years old, along with his parents and older sis-

They embarked in a 40-foot fishing boat that was carrying 16 people, and were picked up by a larger vessel and brought to Guantanamo Bay, after which they were eventually taken to Florida. Because he has a Cuban passport, Alonso has been able to visit Cuba twice since leaving, but he said that communication with his family back in Cuba is still difficult. He hopes that the normalization of relations will lead to better connectivity, so that Cubans who have left can communicate with their relatives. “There is huge populations of Cubans in other countries that need to connect with their roots in Cuba, because that’s part of their identity,” Alonso said. “I think that is a worthy cause in itself: the need to have access to their fam-
ily, to their people, those they left behind.” In addition to the normalization’s benefit to dispersed Cubans, Alonso said it’s a positive change for those who remain in Cuba, as well. By ending the isolation of the Cuban people, it will enable them to connect with the rest of the world and open up their perspective, he said. The ensuing influx of information, especially for young people, will help them be able to realize what the future of Cuba could be, Alonso said. “Because of (the isolation) it was really hard for Cuban people to see outside of their tiny island,” he said. “The Cuban people only knew that life, and when you only know that life, it’s hard for you to imagine stepping out of that and changing things.” Tamara Falicov, a KU associate professor of film studies who teaches courses in Cuban film, is also looking forward to travel to Cuba becoming easier. Falicov, who took a group of KU students on a trip to Havana in 2003, said that she sees it

I will continue to be a vocal and staunch advocate against closing our current detainment facilities due to the high security risks and economic waste doing so would cost the American public.” as a mutually beneficial opportunity. “We need to open the channels of dialogue. We can learn from each other,” she said. But in the past, the tight visa restrictions have been deterrents to such exchange, Falicov said, explaining that she had a student who wanted to go to Cuba to make a documentary film, but after many stumbling blocks, he didn’t end up going. “It’s going to be access to a culture that has been forbidden to us,” Falicov said, adding that she is looking forward to being able to take more trips to Cuba with students in the future. Nobo said that though normalization affects Cubans who have left the country, for the Cuban people who remain, he doesn’t foresee any changes taking place until the Castros are gone and the regime completely changes. Nobo said he would like to see Cubans have the freedom that he was able to find in the U.S. “Freedom and liberty — that’s what I want for the Cuban people,” he said. Nobo said that once things have stabilized, he would love to go back to visit his relatives in Cuba, many of whom he has never met. Nobo, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, said his health makes the visit even more pressing. “I’m not getting any better and I’m not getting any younger, so I have to do it in a hurry,” he said, adding that he hopes to go back within the next five years. “I would show (my kids and grandkids) where we lived, tell them about their grandparents and great-grandparents.”

A USDE spokesman declined to comment on the second KU investigation, or why it was initiated. Speaking generally, USDE assistant press secretary Denise Horn said this in a recent JournalWorld story: “Sexual violence investigations tend to be highly complex — involving not just an individual’s complaint, but sometimes reaching back years to study a university’s culture and response to other claims of sexual assaults.” In most cases, the public has no knowledge of what triggered USDE investigations on the list, as neither the USDE nor schools comment on individual cases, citing confidentiality. However, the USDE investigation opened in July 2014 stems from an October 2013 incident in which the female KU student — then a freshman — said she was raped in Lewis Hall by a man she went to a party with and drank heavily with earlier that night. She said KU failed to properly investigate and adjudicate her case, and she filed a complaint against KU with the USDE’s Office for Civil Rights. The Journal-World reported on the woman’s case last year, and documents obtained by the newspaper support her statements that she filed the complaint triggering the USDE’s earlier investigation of KU. KU did investigate two reports of rape by the same victim, she said last year. Several months into KU’s first investigation, she reported that she’d also been raped in September 2013 by the same man, also in his Lewis Hall dorm room while she was intoxicated. The woman filed a police report after the Octo-
ber 2013 incident, though the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office ultimately decided not to file criminal charges against the man. In the past month — since the Journal-World reported KU’s July 2014 federal investigation had been open a full year — the USDE has opened at least 16 new investigations nationwide. This week, there were a total of 150 ongoing USDE investigations at 130 different schools, according to the USDE. Though USDE guidelines call for investigations to be resolved in about six months, the cases on the list have been open an average of 13 months, according to the Journal-World’s analysis in July. The female student’s mother, speaking for the family, said this week they have learned firsthand “the complexity of OCR matters is not always publicly apparent” and that they appreciate the office’s efforts to thoroughly analyze “the wide array of issues that may be present within the culture of a single university.” “We are extremely proud of the stamina, grace and courage our daughter displayed as she pursued her concerns within the system,” she said. “We hope her choice to see the process through will encourage other survivors to come forward and report. That reporting is an integral component in assuring students their respective campuses implement Title IX compliant processes nationwide. We are grateful for all students who provide information to OCR and look forward to the resolution OCR considers most appropriate within the scope of its authority.” — KU and higher ed reporter Sara Shepherd can be reached at sshepherd@ljworld.com or 832-7187.

“Sometimes you can survive a bad event with a good relationship (with the community),” Khatib said. “Sometimes you can’t survive even a good event with a bad relationship (with the community.)” Wiggins agreed, saying, “the NAACP learned (from Ferguson) the need for expansion of community policing.” Khatib said that fair and impartial policing is also crucial to preventing events like Ferguson. The concept, which Khatib learned about at the Kansas Law Enforcement and Training Center in 2013, focuses on preventing racial discrimination in police work. Khatib said that because all people — whether citizens or law enforcement — have their own internal biases, it is important to teach fair and impartial policing to prevent racially motivated policing. “Our biggest obstacle is ourselves,” Khatib said. “Training our officers to overcome (biases) and recognizing our biases in ourselves is important.” But audience member Ben Scott, of Topeka, said that he believed that it will take more dramatic measures — like body cameras — before the black community will feel comfortable with law enforcement. “I’ve done studies and talked to people, and black men’s trust level of police officers is really not high,” Scott said. “As a black man, I try to keep my tail lights clean (to prevent being pulled over). This is an issue we have to deal with daily.” Khatib said that he is a “huge fan” of body cameras on law enforcement, but that agencies need to have a plan in place — and funding — before they can be implemented. “I think the community needs to go and say, ‘This is what we want for police,’ and find a way to fund it,” Khatib said. “There has to be a plan to fund and to utilize them.” Valenciano said that it would be “all for naught” if a law enforcement agency purchases the expensive cameras without a “tried and true plan from another agency that’s using them successfully.” But Scott argued that price should not be an issue when it comes to garnering trust in law enforcement, which plays into the safety of the community. “The cost of body cameras pales in comparison to just one person’s life,” Scott said. “For black males, it gives them some kind of assurance.” Khatib’s panel was just part of a full day of programs and discussions on civil rights at the symposium Friday. Also in attendance at the event were Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department and Capt. James Anguiano of the Kansas University Public Safety Office.
Through CHAMPSS seniors may eat their breakfast, lunch or dinner in their choice of cafeteria sections of Lawrence’s two Hy-Vee locations or three of the city’s Dillons locations (3440 W. Sixth St., 1846 Massachusetts St. and 1015 W. 23rd St.), Bellome said. The congregate meal program offered a lunchtime meal only five days a week to CHAMPSS’s seven days a week, she said. Since Oct. 1, 2014, the CHAMPSS program has been offered at both of Lawrence’s Hy-Vee stores, and the service has been well received, Bellome said.
Attendance problems For more than 20 years the DCSS has offered congregate meals at four specific sites around the county, Bellome said. The program served as a popular eating and social experience, but the numbers of seniors in attendance have dwindled. “In the ’90s you might have had 40 people there (at the Douglas County Senior Center),” she said.

said the upcoming program change will offset some of the losses. “When they don’t have that congregate meal program, they don’t have the expenses associated with it,” he said. “Which enables them to save some funds, which I think offsets some of the losses they’ve had.” While eliminating the congregate meal program may cut costs for DCSS, Bellome said any extra funds will go right back into other senior services. “We’re going to be able to put that into our homedelivered meals and public transportation,” she said. In addition to funding cuts, donations to the program are shrinking, Domer said. For each meal, whether through a congregate meal site or through the upcoming CHAMPSS program, seniors are asked for a small donation of around $3.25, he said. If seniors can’t afford the donation they’re still given a meal, but that extra cost is shifted back onto the providing organizations. Currently, average permeal donations fall well below the asking amount, Domer said. “We’re getting down
We’re going to be able to put (the money we save) into our home-delivered meals and public transportation.” — Judy Bellome, Douglas County Senior Services board member “Now in four different sites there is a total of 40 people and 20 of those are pickups — people that aren’t sitting down and eating them at the site.” Some of the declining numbers can be attributed to seniors remaining mobile for longer, Bellome said. Many of them are already eating their meals in the cafeterias of local grocery stores. Seniors who attend the congregate meal sites in Baldwin City and Eudora will have to come to Lawrence for their meals through the CHAMPSS program, Bellome said. Transportation will be provided for those who cannot make the trip on their own. Bellome also estimated that some of the seniors currently attending the congregate meal sites may switch to home delivery when the CHAMPSS program kicks in. Currently there are 140 seniors on the home delivery program, she said.
Funding, gifts shrink While the CHAMPSS program may offer area seniors a better selection of meals in more convenient locations, heavy reductions in state and federal funding, loss of staff members as well as shrinking donations have played a significant impact in the decision, said DCSS Board Chairman Dennis Domer. For 2016 DCSS requested a total of $162,500 in state and federal funding, just over half the $324,817 the organization received in 2014, according to Douglas County budget documents. Douglas County’s funding to the organization has actually increased from $528,500 to a requested total of $568,500 between 2014 and 2015, said County Administrator Craig Weinaug. But that $40,000 increase is less than a third of the funding cut from state and federal sources. Taking decreases in state and federal funding into account, Weinaug

to the $2 range,” he said. “Numbers are going down all over.”
Director search Staffing issues have also recently accompanied DCSS’s decreasing financials. In late July, DCSS’s then-executive director, Kristin Scheurer, turned in her resignation. Since then Domer, Bellome and board member Steve Tesdahl have assumed the executive director’s responsibilities and launched a search for Scheurer’s replacement. When asked how many executive directors the organization has employed over the past several years, Domer said, “Too many. I don’t remember, but we’ve had more than we want.” Domer said Scheurer stepped down to pursue other business endeavors, but admitted the position is a challenging one with below-average pay. “People are dedicated,” he said. “But it’s not a place to get wealthy.” Despite those challenges, Domer said the DCSS has seen high interest in the open position and will hold a meeting on Monday to narrow the field and hopefully begin the interview process.

Aging mother needs love, geriatrician’s care Dear Annie: My mom is 83 years old. She wants to speak to me daily, but only to hear herself talk. She lists ingredients for the stew she is making, items on the menu at the restaurant she was at, the playby-play about a TV show, or minute details about the neighbor’s daughter’s exhusband’s mother. If I have some kind of urgent message, I have to say her name loudly several times to get her to pause long enough for me to insert why I am calling. Mom’s hearing has faltered in recent months, but I guarantee you that the problem is more about her self-centeredness than her ears. When Mom was younger, she would be mortified to display

Others, however, suggested it may be time for Lawrence to consider changing its form of government and possibly going to a system of electing a full-time mayor. “This form of government has served us well, but with the town growing like it has, I would ask that we look at that in the near future,” said Lawrence resident Bryan Wyatt. Currently, the office of mayor is a rotating seat on the commission. The person who serves as mayor chairs commission meetings and has authority to sign certain documents, but otherwise has no administrative duties. Day-to-day operations of the city are overseen by the city manager. But Lawrence is also currently without a permanent city manager. The

McFadden Group to review the payroll tax issues with the IRS and the state. “They have been in contact with both to determine and address any deficiencies,” Henderson said. “Current withholdings with both the IRS and the state are being paid timely.” The IRS contacted Just Food about the tax liability a few weeks ago, Henderson acknowledged for the first time. She did not specify exactly when.

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSIONERS FROM LEFT, STUART BOLEY, VICE MAYOR LESLIE SODEN, Mike Amyx and Matthew Herbert hold a special meeting Friday at City Hall to take formal action on the resignation of Mayor Jeremy Farmer. Commissioners are expected to name a new mayor and vice mayor at their meeting on Tuesday. city only recently began a search for a new city manager to succeed David Corliss, who resigned earlier this year to take another job in Colorado. Diane Stoddard, who was assistant city manager, has been serving as interim manager until a replacement is hired, and some residents suggested it would be unwise even to talk about changing forms of government while that search is underway. “This is certainly not the time to bring that up while we’re recruiting a new city manager,” said Lawrence
resident Joe Harkins. “You can’t do that with a job description that’s a blank piece of paper.” Residents also offered different ideas about how to fill Farmer’s vacant seat on the commission. Some agreed with Amyx’s suggestion that there should be an open application process and a citizens advisory committee that would interview candidates and recommend a short list of applicants to the commission for final approval. But others suggested looking at the results of
the most recent election and naming the fourthplace runner-up. That would fall to Terry Riordan, a Lawrence pediatrician who finished the 2015 general election 1,690 votes behind Matthew Herbert, who won the third out of three seats that were open this year. City attorney Toni Wheeler said Farmer’s resignation came at an awkward time because the Kansas Legislature passed a new law this year overhauling municipal elections and the method of
filling vacancies. But she said the law, which passed during the final days of the session, was written in such haste that it contains many errors and conflicts with existing law. She said that for the time being, the League of Kansas Municipalities is recommending cities disregard the provisions of that law dealing with the filling of vacancies. Wheeler said current city codes give the commission broad authority to fill a vacant seat by majority vote. But she said the
After Farmer, who had been Just Food’s executive director, stepped down this week, Elizabeth Keever, Just Food’s chief resource officer, was named interim executive director. Farmer’s salary in 2012 was about $30,000, but the board gave him an almost 100-percent raise the next year to nearly $60,000, according to board financial records. City officials also have raised questions about charges that were made to Farmer’s city credit card, mostly related to travel expenses. Farmer reimbursed the city on Tues-
day for about $1,100 in personal expenses that he charged to the city’s card. On Friday, Henderson said Farmer had a debit card with Just Food but it’s unknown if he had any outstanding charges. In addition, Farmer submitted Just Food’s 2014 income tax return to the United Way, one of the agency’s donors, but not to the IRS, Henderson acknowledged this week. An attorney described the tax return as “a draft” and said it was subject to change. On Friday, Henderson said the McFadden accountant had filed an extension and that the re-
turn is due in November. Never, the UMKC assistant professor, said the food bank was a large business. Its gross receipts totaled more than $1 million in 2012. That had doubled by 2014 to $2.2 million. “There needs to be real financial controls for an agency this size,” Never said. Never said he was a professor in Illinois when the IRS learned that a smaller charity had failed to pay payroll taxes over several years to the amount of $60,000. “This little board had no idea the executive director was doing this,” he
said. “The IRS gave them 30 days to come up with $60,000. These people had to get second mortgages on houses, sell cars, that sort of thing.” Never said unless there is fraud, the failure to pay taxes is an administrative procedure that will be handled by the IRS. “It is not criminal,” he said. Never said he hoped the board had insurance to protect it from liability. “That basically covers them from any kind of wrongdoing done under their watch,” Never said. “This other example of the Illinois charity, they

codes do not lay out any specific process for doing so, and she suggested commissioners address that issue while they are making the appointment to replace Farmer. Amyx said his plan would allow each of the four remaining commissioners to appoint three or four residents to an advisory panel that would screen applicants and make a recommendation to the commission. Vacancies are not an uncommon occurrence in local government. The Lawrence school board, for example, has filled two vacant seats in the last year, and in both cases it took the board only about a month to interview candidates and name replacements. But Commissioner Herbert said the circumstances surrounding Farmer’s resignation make the situation at City Hall unique, and he thinks the process will take somewhat longer. “I would not anticipate that fifth person being seated for another 60 days,” he said. — Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.
were too small to even think about that.” When asked about insurance, Henderson said, “Insurance policies typically do not cover tax liabilities of an organization or individual.” Henderson said Just Food is continuing to provide food for the needy. “The departure of our executive director has not changed the commitment of Just Food, its board, staff and volunteers in helping meet the needs of our community,” she said. — Investigative reporter Karen Dillon can be reached at kdillon@ljworld.com or at 382-7162.

etna
Being the “cool” cat comes naturally to Etna. At the age of 6 years, she has had plenty of time to hone her skills. She is an all black Domestic Short Hair with a sleek shiny coat. She would never brag, but her singing voice is well known and she is not at all shy about showing it off. She’s not picky, but a shiny new necklace to wear home would suit her just fine.
nack
Some animals are more photogenic than others and we had a lot of fun doing the shoot with little Nack. He is a Cairn Terrier mix and has a personality to match his looks. He is 5 years old and pretty set in his ways, so we want to make sure he goes to a home without children. They are messy and noisy (he thinks so) and he prefers his world to be a little more tidy.
cooper
Cooper is an 11 year old American Bulldog and is pretty much set in his ways. This breed is known for their stubbornness, so be ready for some doggy attitude along with his big boy love. Sometimes when an animal is adopted and brought back, it gives us an opportunity to learn more about them. Lesson #1 is he does NOT like cats. Because of his age, young children may not be best for him either.

U.S. media taking frivolous view of Cuba The raising of the U.S. flag at the newly opened American embassy in Havana is an important story, but I can’t help finding much of the U.S. media coverage surrounding the event to be repetitive, boring and frivolous. How many more cheerful stories about 1950s Chevrolets on the streets of Havana, or about formerly U.S.-owned Cuban casinos, or about the Cubans’ ingenuity to repair decades-old U.S.-made refrigerators will we have to endure in connection

“
It’s time to pay a little less attention to 1950s pre-revolution Chevrolets in Cuba, and a little more attention to the post-revolution people in Cuba …”
with the flag-raising ceremony of the U.S. Embassy in Havana? True, nostalgia sells, and many people love these stories, but there is a big dose of hypocrisy surrounding this frivolous view of today’s Cuba. It obscures the fact that Cuba remains one of the world’s closest dictatorships, and that most news organizations try not to be too harsh on the Cuban regime because they don’t want to be denied Cuban entry visas for their correspondents. For as long as I can remember, Cuba denies entry visas to foreign journalists it considers too critical. Hypocrisy No. 1: Most news organizations resort to all kinds of euphemisms to avoid calling Cuba a dictatorship, or Cuban leader Gen. Raúl Castro a military dictator. In fact, the Castro brothers have not allowed any free elections, or opposition
national media treated former Chilean dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet with similar respect, until he died. It seems that dictators only become dictators once they die. The little-known reality behind the hypocrisy of calling Pinochet a “late dictator” and Fidel Castro a “former leader” is that Cuba still has a regime in place that decides which journalists can get a visa into the country, and which won’t. Hypocrisy No. 2: While much of the media coverage surrounding this week’s U.S. Embassy flag-raising ceremony focused on nostalgia and history, very little centered on the fact that the Cuban regime has stepped up repression against peaceful opponents in recent weeks. Just last Sunday, the government detained about 90 dissidents who were staging a peaceful protest against the regime in Havana, Agence France-Presse reported. Last month, there were 674 detentions of peaceful opponents, including 21 in which dissidents were badly beaten by police, according to Cuba’s Commission of Human Rights and National Reconciliation. Since Obama’s Dec. 17 announcement of the start of normalization talks with Cuba, there have been more than

parties, or independent media for more than five decades. Gen. Raúl Castro often addresses the nation in full military garb. And yet, most news organizations do all kinds of verbal pirouettes to avoid the “d” word when talking about the Castro brothers. We most often refer to Fidel Castro as “the leader of the Cuban revolution,” or Cuba’s “historic leader,” and to Raúl Castro as “president” or “head of government.” In fact, there is no dictionary in the world whose definition of “dictator” would not describe the Castro brothers. Under my Merriam-Webster dictionary, a dictator is “a person who rules a country with total authority and often in a cruel or brutal way.” Well, according to the Cuba Archive (cubaarchive.org) research group, there are 3,117 documented cases of executions — with names and dates — and 1,162 cases of extrajudicial killings by the Castro regime. “In no way does that imply it is a complete count of actual deaths or disappearances,” Cuba Archive director Maria Werlau says of the figures. Contrary to what many rightwingers believe, the media’s allergy to calling the Castro brothers “dictators” does not result from an alleged leftist bias by journalists. The inter-

You drove over to alert him that something was wrong so he could return. We are filled with gratitude for what you did, and I don’t think we thanked you properly at the time. Thank you for being my guardian angel that day. Carol Collier, Lawrence

an impossible dream. However, what I learned at the Lawrence Housing Trust Fund Conference hosted by Lawrence’s Tenants to Homeowners on July 17 was that affordable housing trust funds actually give more back to the communities that have them than they cost. Gus Selig, the executive director of Vermont’s Housing and Conservation Board, the administrator of that state’s housing trust fund for the last 30 years, showed numbers for 14 communities from 2012 to 2104. For every $1 million Vermont has spent to rehab neglected and deteriorating buildings they have leveraged at least $8 million more in private and federal money, generating economic activity that creates not just the construction jobs on the site but even more jobs off-site. It goes on. Rehabilitation creates ripple effects in economic development that generate even more jobs. People in subsidized housing share the equity that allows them to move on to enter the private real estate market, while the public housing gets recycled to help another family grow to economic independence. Seeing these payoffs prompted two cities in Vermont to create their own trust funds!

3,000 political detentions in Cuba, most of them for brief periods, according to the commission’s numbers. Hypocrisy No. 3: While most of us don’t oppose the normalization of relations with Cuba, many seem to forget that the Obama administration has repeatedly promised that the reestablishment of full diplomatic ties “will include continued strong support for improved human rights conditions and democratic reforms in Cuba.” But most peaceful opponents say they were not even consulted by the Obama administration during the negotiations, and at the time of this writing it looks like Kerry will only invite Cuban officials — and not government opponents — to the U.S. Embassy’s official flag-raising ceremony in Havana on Friday. Instead, they may be invited to a more social event at the U.S. chargé d’affaires’ residence. My opinion: It’s time to pay a little less attention to 1950s prerevolution Chevrolets in Cuba, and a little more attention to the post-revolution people in Cuba, who — mainly because of a decrepit family dictatorship — live in one of the poorest, most backward and repressive countries in the Americas.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 15, 1915: “The first years neighborhood tenago nis court has proved IN 1915 such a success that other ones will probably be started in the near future. The name of this club is Ark-Mo, derived from the two streets on which the members live. The scheme was first worked out by H. L. Winey and rapidly taken up by his neighbors in the 800 block on Arkansas and Missouri streets and the club was formed. Officers and the executive council were elected and arrangements were made for the first assessment which was $1.25. This money was used in paying for the grading which cost the club $40 and is practically the only item of expense at this time as the nets were provided for by the members of the club. The members now do the work on the two double courts and save a considerable sum of money as the recent rains have caused much extra work on them. Almost every night and early morning the courts are occupied, mostly business men who compose the membership of the club.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

f you come across a praying mantid (or praying mantis) in your garden, its large body, giant eyes and swiveling neck may be startling. Don’t be alarmed. Praying mantids are beneficial insects that are on the prowl right now for grasshoppers, beetles and the like in and around the Lawrence area. Praying mantids may be 2 to 5 inches long depending on species, sex and maturity. They have slender, stick-like bodies; heads that can rotate a full 180 degrees; and front legs held together in a position that suggests the insect is praying. Those praying hands actually hold the mantids’ prey in a viselike grip while the insects are feeding. The Carolina mantid, European mantid, and Chinese mantid are all found in Kansas. The Carolina mantid is about 2 inches when full grown and typically dusty brown, gray or brownish-green to blend into its surroundings. The European mantid is 2 to 3 inches long at maturity and usually bright green but may be tan or brownish. The Chinese mantid may be up to 5 inches long and is usually bright green. Praying mantids are most commonly found in this area in late summer to fall. Egg cases are also large and recognizable. The egg cases of European and Chinese mantids look like bite-sized squares of shredded wheat cereal. The cases are typically

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe endorsed past government apologies for his nation’s wartime aggression and colonial rule in a speech Friday marking the 70th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II, but he stopped short of repeating those apologies himself. “I bow my head deeply before the souls of all those who perished both at home and abroad. I express my feelings of profound grief and my eternally, sincere condolences,” Abe said in a carefully worded, 25-minute speech broadcast live on national television. Abe said Japan had taken “the wrong course” and expressed “utmost grief” for the “immeasurable damage and suffering” AFP it had inflicted. The country Shinzo Abe surrendered to the United States and Allied Powers on Aug. 15, 1945. However, the speech did not include a direct apology from Abe and may do little to resolve contentious relations with some of Japan’s most important neighbors, especially South Korea and China. Leaders in those two countries have refused to meet with Abe one-on-one since he took office for a second term in December 2012, largely because of resentment over the invasion and atrocities committed by the Japanese Imperial Army before and during the war. “Abe was letting it be known that he won’t backtrack on past apologies but that he also won’t necessarily issue those apologies again himself. It’s not what the Koreans wanted to hear, but it’s the most they’ll get from him,” said Sean King, an East Asia specialist with the Park Strategies consulting firm in New York. Koichi Nakano, a professor of politics at Sophia University in Tokyo, said “historical revisionism” runs throughout Abe’s statement and could raise concerns among U.S. officials about the direction of the Abe administration. Washington wants Japan and South Korea to work together in the face of a rising militaristic China and nuclear-armed North Korea. TOKYO

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called for an end to “mutual isolation” and issued an impassioned plea for democracy in Cuba as the American flag was raised outside the recently reopened U.S. Embassy here Friday for the first time in 54 years. “The time is now to reach out to one another as two peoples who are no longer enemies or rivals but neighbors,” said Kerry, who oversaw the event that followed a similar flag-raising ceremony last month outside the Cuban Embassy in Washington. “It is time to unfurl our flags, raise them up and let the world know that we wish each other well.” The flag raising represents the latest step in the changing relationship between the two nations since President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro announced an end to the diplomatic freeze in December. To help raise the flag, American officials brought back three of the U.S. Marines who lowered it in 1961 when the United States cut off ties with Cuba at the peak of the Cold War. Many who have opposed Obama’s decision to normalize relations with Cuba have said the deal does not require the Cuban government to improve its human rights record. Opponents of the accord were further enraged when the State Department decided not to allow any Cuban dissidents into Friday’s ceremony, instead inviting them to a private reception at the HAVANA

FDA approves painkiller OxyContin for children 11 to 16 Some fear addiction if for short-term needs Liz Szabo
USA TODAY
The Food and Drug Administration has approved the powerful narcotic painkiller OxyContin for children as young as 11. While doctors who treat young cancer patients hailed the approval, others expressed concern that prescribing OxyContin to children could put them at risk for addiction. OxyContin, an extended-re-
lease version of the painkiller oxycodone, has gained notoriety in recent years because of its frequent abuse. People addicted to painkillers crush the pills so that they can be snorted or injected, producing a powerful high. In 2010, Purdue Pharma reformulated OxyContin to make it more difficult to abuse. The FDA notes that children generally have many fewer options for pain relief than adults. Because of that problem, the FDA asked Purdue to perform studies to see if the drug could be used safely in children, ages 11 to 16, with pain caused by cancer, trauma or major surgery, said Sharon
Hertz, a physician with the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in an interview on the agency’s website. The FDA approved OxyContin for children this age who need “daily, round-the-clock, longterm” pain relief for which there is no alternative, Hertz said. “Children are not treated with opioids very often and usually it’s only for a limited period of time with close supervision by health care professionals,” Hertz said. “Fewer daily doses may free patients for physical therapy appointments, allow them to go home from the hospital sooner and may help them to sleep

through the night without waking up.” Children at the end of life aren’t at risk of addiction. Having additional long-acting painkillers “is going to be tremendously helpful for treating children with cancer pain or pain at the end of life,” said Justin Baker, pediatric oncologist and hospice and palliative medicine doctor at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos-
pital. But prescribing OxyContin to youngsters with short-term medical needs could put them at risk for developing an addiction that haunts them long after they leave the hospital, said Andrew Kolodny, director of Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing. Teens are at higher risk of addiction than adults because the brain doesn’t mature until about age 25.

Bush, Rubio slam flag-raising event in Havana Cooper Allen USA TODAY
On the day Secretary of State John Kerry participated in an event raising the U.S. flag at the newly reopened embassy in Havana, two GOP presidential candidates from Florida offered sharp critiques of Obama administration policies toward Cuba. Former governor Jeb Bush, in a statement, blasted the festivities, saying Kerry’s visit represented “a birthday present for Fidel Castro.” Cuba, Bush said, “remains an unyielding dictatorship, a tragic example of the folly of communism.” He added that, if elected, he would “reverse Obama’s strategy of accommodation and appeasement” toward Cuba. Sen. Marco Rubio, in a speech in New York at an event spon-
sored by the Foreign Policy Initiative, a conservative think tank, slammed the Obama administration for not inviting Cuban dissidents. “Cuba’s dissidents have fought for decades for the very democratic principles President Obama claims to be advancing through these concessions,” Rubio said in his prepared remarks. “Their exclusion from this event has ensured it will be little more than a propaganda rally for the Castro regime.” In December, Obama announced that the United States and Cuba would resume full diplomatic relations, which the U.S. cut off in 1961 during the the Cold War. Kerry called Friday’s event a “historic moment” and a “day for pushing aside old barriers and exploring new possibilities.”

‘Godzilla’ weather may hit California Forecasters say this year’s El Niño could be a monster Greg Toppo USATODAY
Cue the screaming, the pointing, the badly synced exclamation: It’s Godzilla! The National Weather Service on Thursday said a gathering El Niño weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean could become one of the most powerful on record, bringing once-in-a-generation storms later this year to drought-stricken California. Bill Patzert, a climatologist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said the system has the possibility of becoming “the Godzilla El Niño.” Its ocean signal, he said, is stronger than in 1997, when the most powerful El Niño on record developed. “Everything now is going the right way for El Niño,” Patzert told the Los Angeles Times. “If this lives up to its potential, this

In 1998, California saw widespread flooding and mudslides that caused more than half a billion dollars in damage. thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides and mayhem.” The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center said Thursday that all computer models are predicting a strong El Niño, which would peak in late fall or early winter. That could benefit drought-stricken California — but it also could
bring unwanted side effects. After the 1997 El Niño, Southern California got double its typical annual rainfall, with double the snow pack in the Sierra Nevada, a key water source. But in 1998, the Times noted, the region saw so much rain so quickly that flooding and mudslides killed 17 people and
caused more than half a billion dollars in damage. Downtown Los Angeles got nearly a year’s worth of rain in February alone. Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center warned that one season of above-normal rain and snow “is very unlikely to erase four years of drought,” KTLA reported. State climatologist Michael Anderson agreed, saying in a statement that California “cannot count on potential El Niño conditions to halt or reverse drought conditions.” Historical weather data show that there’s a 50% chance at best of California seeing a wetter winter. “Unfortunately, due to shifting climate patterns, we cannot even be that sure,” he said. El Niño, a climate pattern in the tropical Pacific, occurs roughly every two to seven years, according to NOAA. Climatologists are already blaming this year’s system for droughts in parts of the Philippines, Indonesia and Australia.
The opening of relations between the U.S. and Cuba, marked Friday with the raising of the American flag over the island republic, could be a boon to auto collectors. Among the droves of American tourists headed to Cuba are likely to be those seriously scouting some of the old cars that ply the streets of Havana. “There certainly is pent-up demand for modern cars,” says Michelle Krebs, senior analyst for AutoTrader.com. “Anyone who has been to Cuba can attest that, in terms of cars, time stood still. Beat-up classics from the ’50s and ’60s are on the streets.” “But,” Kreb adds, “Cubans can’t afford today’s cars until their economy is revived.” More than 11 million people live in Cuba, but only a tiny fraction of households own a vehicle. Before September 2011, only cars in Cuba before the 1959 revolution could be freely bought and sold. The Cuban government has a monopoly on the retail sale of cars in the country. There are 650,000 autos on the island, half of them owned by the government, according to Reuters. And the government’s not in the discount business. A 2013 Peugeot sedan was priced at more than $250,000 in January and a 2010 Volkswagen Passat was $70,000, according to a report earlier last year by National Public Radio. Beyond routine new-car sales, Cuba eventually could provide a ready market for American used cars, easy to export from just 90 miles away. And American collectors might be eager to get their hands on some of the best classics still in Cuba. For the most part, the shiny 1950s American cars there are clunkers underneath, patched together over the years just to keep them running. Many aren’t worth restoring to original condition, but they could have high novelty value. “They are wonderful expressions of humanity’s fight to win,” says Dave Kinney, publisher of the pricing guide from Hagerty, an insurance agency specializing in collector cars. “It would be very, very cool to show up at Cars and Coffee with a ’57 (Chevrolet) Bel Air powered by a tractor engine.”

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speaks in Los Angeles two days after protesters took over a Seattle event. Nicole Gaudiano USA TODAY
When angry protesters stormed the stage and took it over from presidential candidate Bernie Sanders at a recent Seattle event, his closest apparent protection was “peacekeeper” volunteers with no professional security training. Some security professionals are reacting with alarm and disbelief to the video of Sanders abandoning the podium after two women hopped on stage and screamed at him to turn over the microphone from inches away. The protesters showed no intent to harm the Vermont senator, but they were able to get dangerously close to him and send an inviting message to any would-be attacker looking for a potentially soft target, former Secret Service agents said in interviews. “Anybody who is interested in making a name for himself or herself, all he has to do is look at this video and say, ‘I’ll show up at the next Sanders’ site and I’ll make a name for myself,’ which is pretty terrifying,” said Andrew O’Connell, a former agent and federal prosecutor now with Guidepost Solutions, a risk management firm. James Mottola, a former agent now with Creative Solutions Investigative Services, said the incident exposes the vulnerability of candidates and could demonstrate an opportunity for more protesters — or people “who want to do harm to him.” “You don’t always know the intent of the people who show up at your events,” he said. During the protest, Seattle police were about 30 feet from the WASHINGTON
Security concerns raised for Sanders
Seattle protesters get dangerously close, say ex-Secret Service agents stage, according to Robby Stern, chairman of the Social Security Works Washington Coalition that sponsored the Westlake Park event to celebrate Social Security and Medicare. The volunteer “peacekeepers,” who organizers recruited from unions and community-based organizations a week before the event, were the closest security to Sanders that Stern was aware of, he said. The volunteers were “tough and strong guys” who received a training session that day from another volunteer and who would have responded appropriately had there been a physical threat, Stern said. In retrospect, he said, it would have been better to have more peacekeepers with more training. “Obviously, our security was inadequate for the situation and I
take responsibility for that,” Stern said. “We have certainly learned a lot from this and we will be better prepared next time, if there is a next time.” Stern said he didn’t confer with the Sanders’ campaign about security before the event and didn’t know whether any other organizers did. “I think they assumed we would do a good job of it,” he said. A spokeswoman for Sanders, an independent running for the Democratic presidential nomination, said the campaign does not discuss security. “No one can say that security is not a concern of ours, that we’re not taking proper precautions, because I believe we are,” said Symone D. Sanders, the campaign’s national press secretary. The protesters at the Aug. 8 Se-
attle event were affiliated with the Black Lives Matter movement, the same group that disrupted speeches by Sanders and Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley at the Netroots Nation conference for liberal activists in Phoenix on July 18. The Seattle event organizers learned through social media that there could be a disruption by the protesters, who are seeking racial justice reforms. They decided if the protesters made it to the stage, they would let them speak after Sanders’ remarks, Stern said. “We felt that the issues being raised by the Black Lives Matter movement are very important and something that needed to be heard,” Stern said. “So we were not going to get into a physical melee nor were we going to have the police come and arrest them.” But the women didn’t allow Sanders to speak and one screamed at Sanders, “If you do not listen to her, your event will be shut down right now.” They would not return the microphone to Sanders after they held a 41⁄2-minute period of silence honoring Michael Brown, the 18-yearold unarmed black man who was fatally shot by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., a year ago. Organizers shut down the event and Sanders eventually left without giving his speech. Terrance Gainer, former Senate sergeant-at-arms, said the response on stage was appropriate, allowing emotions to cool without police involvement. “Based on what I saw, fighting to regain the stage would be a fool’s errand,” said Gainer, now an independent security consultant. “The police could have won but it would have been ugly and for not a great reason.”
IN BRIEF U.S. LOOKS INTO KURDS’ MUSTARD GAS CLAIMS
The U.S. military said Friday it launched an investigation into allegations that Islamic State militants used mustard gas against Kurdish forces in Iraq, but it has not confirmed the claims. “At this point we really don’t know what if anything may have been used,” said Air Force Col. Pat Ryder, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command. “Any use of chemical and biological materials as a weapon is inconsistent with international standards and norms.” The United States is working with the Iraqi government and Kurdish authorities to look into the reports, he said. Kurdish forces said militants attacked them with mustard gas this week in an area about 40 miles southwest of Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish north. — Jim Michaels ASTRONOMERS SPOT YOUNG, JUPITER-LIKE PLANET

Greece’s euro partners approved billions in new loans to the struggling country after lawmakers in Athens approved a deal for Greece’s third bailout. Eurozone finance ministers approved the first 26 billion euros ($29 billion) of a vast new bailout package to help rebuild Greece’s shattered economy. Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Friday that “of course there were differences but we have managed to solve the last issues.” The move saves Greece from a disorderly default on its debts, which could have come as soon as next week, and helps cement its role in Europe’s single currency. Greek approval for the $93 billion bailout came after an allnight debate by Athens lawmakers. — Kim Hjelmgaard
DES MOINES Iowa Democratic power broker Tom Harkin and his wife, Ruth, are throwing their weight behind a presidential candidate: Hillary Clinton. The highly coveted endorsement is a coup for Clinton, but it’s unlikely to snuff out the Bernie Sanders wildfire here. Harkin, a retired 30-year U.S. senator who is arguably the most successful Democrat in Iowa’s history, said in an opinion piece published by The Des Moines Register on Thursday night that he and his wife believe Clinton will be the best fighter for social and economic justice. “As Democrats, we’re fortunate to have a slate of candidates that are all fine individuals,” Harkin wrote, “but we need a fighter who has a record of getting things done and the vision for the future that will build on the progress we’ve made.” Harkin, 75, still has big clout in Iowa Democratic circles and his endorsement will likely send a powerful signal to undecided voters — 54% of likely Democratic caucusgoers say they’ve yet to settle firmly on a presidential candidate, according to a CNN/ ORC poll released Wednesday. Only 30% say they’re definitely locked in behind someone.

Hillary Clinton and Tom Harkin greet the crowd during the Harkin Steak Fry fundraiser in September.
“She and I share many of the same deeply held beliefs.” Tom Harkin
The decision by Harkin, one of the most liberal senators in the Democratic Party, will no doubt disappoint other contenders, including Sanders, a Vermont U.S. senator and progressive firebrand who has been steadily climbing in the polls in Iowa, and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who has some positions that are to the left of Clinton’s. Harkin’s certainty about Clinton is a shift from September, when he said that although Clinton was headlining his final Harkin Steak Fry fundraiser, that should not be considered an endorsement. And it’s early in the cycle for a Harkin endorsement. It lands before Vice President Biden has made up his mind about a 2016 bid. In 2004, Harkin waited until 10 days before the Iowa caucuses to endorse Howard Dean. In 2008, Harkin stayed out of the race altogether. “I have had the privilege of knowing Hillary Clinton for a long time,” said Harkin, whose years in the Senate overlapped Clinton’s time as a senator from New York. “She and I share many of the same deeply held beliefs.” Harkin wrote in his op-ed that they both believe everyone should be able to find well-paying jobs, that every child should receive the best education possible, that the elderly should be able to retire with dignity and security, and that everyone should have access to quality and affordable health care.

MONEYLINE APPLE SELF-DRIVING CAR NO RUMOR, REPORT SAYS Apple’s self-driving car effort, code-named Project Titan, is more reality than rumor, according to documents obtained by the British newspaper ‘The Guardian.’ Engineers working for the Cupertino-based tech hardware giant met in May with officials from GoMentum Station, a former naval base east of San Francisco that is being retooled into a highly secure testing ground for autonomous vehicles. Citing correspondence between site officials and Apple engineer Frank Fearon — who previously worked on a self-stabilizing motorcycle for the Bay Area start-up Lit Motors — the British newspaper’s report quotes Fearon as saying that Apple “would like to get an understanding of timing and availability for the space.” Apple declined to comment.

MIDWEST GAS PRICES JUMP Gas prices in the Midwest could surge 30 cents to a dollar because of a key refinery shutdown in Indiana. BP’s refinery in Whiting is having problems with its largest crude distillation unit, which handles more than half of the facility’s capacity, according to Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com. The refinery is the seventh largest in the U.S. and biggest in the Midwest, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s website. “Almost immediately, market gasoline prices shot up on the concerns of reduced gasoline supply from the BP refinery,” DeHaan said in a written statemen. PRODUCER PRICE INCREASES SLOW TO 0.2% IN JULY Prices charged by producers rose more slowly in July, reflecting declines in both food and energy. The Labor Department said Friday its producer price index, which measures inflation pressures before they reach the consumer, increased 0.2% in July compared to June when prices had risen 0.4%. The Federal Reserve has said it needs to feel “reasonably confident” that inflation will move back to its 2% target before beginning to raise interest rates for the first time since 2008. But inflation is running well below the Fed’s target. DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVG. 17,550

A man recently set up a Facebook account that impersonated the official social media account for Target, giving snarky responses to complaints about the company’s decision to make signage more gender-neutral. Target made headlines this week, announcing it would remove gender-based labels from some store sections such as toys, bedding and entertainment. Not everyone agreed with the change and some took to Facebook to air their grievances. That’s when Mike Melgaard stepped in. Melgaard created a fake account called “Ask ForHelp” that used a Target logo as its avatar, according to his Facebook page. Using the account, Melgaard responded to complaints, but not always in the way users expected. In one comment, Melgaard (posing as Target) wrote: “We invite you to come separate the toys yourself. We just personally can’t keep doing it anymore. It’s a lot of work.” Melgaard captured images of his exchanges and put them in a folder called “Target trolling.” Ask ForHelp’s comments have since been removed from Target’s Facebook page. “At Target, we are committed to providing outstanding guest service to our guests wherever we engage with them — in our stores, online, or on social media. Clearly this individual was not speaking on behalf of Target,” Angie Thompson, an official spokeswoman for Target, told USA TODAY Network in an email. On Thursday, Target posted an image of troll toys on its Facebook page with the message “Remember when Trolls were the kings of the world? Woo hoo! They’re back and only at Target stores.” Melgaard responded, using his personal account, in the comment section. “Target. Seriously. You are AWESOME,” he wrote.

J.C. Penney shares rise on upbeat Q-2 results Turnaround effort bears more fruit, top Wall St. expectations Kevin McCoy USA TODAY
Shares of J.C. Penney rose Friday as the retailer continued its turnaround effort by reporting second-quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations and boosting its financial guidance for the full year. Penney’s stock closed up 5.6% at $8.52 after the Plano, Texasbased company reported more upbeat earnings than Macy’s and other retail industry competitors. The company said net revenue totaled $2.88 billion, up from $2.80 billion during the same period last year, and above the $2.86 billion consensus forecast of analysts survey by Thomson Reuters. Penny reported that its loss for the quarter that ended Aug. 1 narrowed to $138 million, or 45 cents a share. That bettered the $172 million and 56 cents a share losses during the same period last year. Financial analysts had forecast a loss of 48 cents a share. Same-store sales increased 4.1% year over year, topping the 3.89% gain forecast in the Thom-

son Reuters survey. Penney raised its full-year earnings guidance to approximately $620 million, up from a $600 million estimate. It also reiterated predictions that comparable same-store sales would increase 4% to 5% this year. The Men’s Home, Sephora and Fine Jewelry merchandise divisions were the top performers, Penney said. All regions experienced sales growth from last year, with the best performance in the western and central regions of the U.S., the company reported. Penney struggled under former CEO Ron Johnson, ousted in 2013. Penney veteran Mike Ullman returned as his successor, launching a turnaround effort. Marvin Ellison, a former vice president of stores at Home Depot, was appointed president and CEO-designee in November. Ellison succeeded Ullman, who became executive chairman, at the start of August. During a conference call with financial analysts, Ellison said Penny would focus on further boosting its private brands, and increasing purchase levels, and omnichannel marketing efforts.
Hedge fund manager Nelson Peltz targets Sysco Operating margins, compensation his focus Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY
Shares of food distribution company Sysco Corp. shot up Friday after billionaire hedge fund manager Nelson Peltz said he is pushing for changes that could boost the company’s profits. Peltz’s hedge fund firm, Trian, which lost a big battle for board seats at chemical giant DuPont in May, bought a 7% stake in Sysco, making it the company’s largest shareholder. Trian wants Sysco to improve its operating margins, or the cost of doing business, the hedge fund said in a regulatory filing. Shares of the Houston distrib-
utor closed up 7.4% to $41.38 a share on the news. Trian representatives, including Peltz, met with Sysco’s officials on Friday to discuss the hedge fund’s views, said Charley Wilson, a spokesman for Sysco. “We have recently engaged with Trian and expect to continue a constructive dialogue,” the company said in a statement. Sysco’s management will discuss its own plans for improved performance at its Investor Day on Sept. 15, the company said. At Friday’s meeting, Trian said Sysco’s operating and financial performance has “underperformed relative to its potential.” Trian suggested Sysco adopt “initiatives to improve operating

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY
Second-quarter earnings season is winding down. The China currency scare, which spooked markets this past week, didn’t seem quite as scary on Friday as it did on Tuesday after Beijing shocked markets by devaluing its currency to jump-start exports and boost growth. Also, many Wall Street traders are still at the beach rather than sitting in front of their trading terminals. So what will move stocks in the coming week? Assuming the China syndrome storyline has played out, Wall Street’s worry list will shift to the Federal Reserve and coming interest rate hikes, as well as incoming economic data that could give the Fed the ammunition it needs to hike rates or a

If worried about getting hurt, think small Q. Should one avoid big, overpriced stocks? Matt Krantz
mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY
A. Investors can’t get enough of big and richly valued stocks. The problem with pile- ons, though, is that someone often gets hurt. When too many investors are jumping into the same stocks at the same time, valuations are pushed up so much that future returns are diminished. Investment pros noticing the surge into huge companies with the steepest valuations worry there’s some hurt to come. The Vanguard Growth exchange-traded fund (VUG) is up 12% over the past year and 57% over the past three years. This benchmark of the biggest and most expensive stocks has beaten the Standard & Poor’s 500, which is up 8% over the past year and 50% over the past three. Stocks like Google and Facebook — the personification of richly valued big companies — continue to surge this year as more investors jump onto these trades. The big-cap growth rally could continue, but some investors might be increasingly nervous about being part of the crowd. There is a way to avoid the large overvalued stocks — invest in small, valued-priced stocks. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest is to invest in ETFs that own small, valued-priced stocks. Vanguard’s offering is the SmallCap Value (VBR) and iShares has the S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF (IJS).
Why China dims U.S. banks’ hopes for Fed rate increase Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY
U.S. banks may have very little revenue exposure to China — but they still have reason to be scared. The fear building on Wall Street is that a worsening economy in China will delay the Federal Reserve raising U.S. interest rates indefinitely. That would be bad for the banks because the sector has been waiting for a rate increase to turbocharge earnings on mortgages and other loans. China’s woes — highlighted by its currency manipulation moves

na could push the Fed to delay liftoff, leading to negative consensus revisions of 2016 earnings estimates,” Bank of America research analysts Erika Najarian and Ebrahim Poonawala said in a recent research report. Najarian and Poonawala see bank earnings per share hurt by 10% to 15% if the Fed delays raising rates until the end of 2016. A rate increase “is by far the single biggest positive catalyst remaining for bank stocks.” A delay “would change our bullish outlook for the sector,” they said in the report. “Every single U.S. bank is affect-

ed by this,” agreed Erik Oja, banking analyst with S&P Capital IQ. Citigroup also has indirect exposure to China in that it does business with countries like Brazil that sell raw materials to China, Oja said. In terms of direct revenue exposure, the danger is minuscule, analysts said. Citigroup has the greatest direct exposure at 1.2%,
followed by JPMorgan Chase with 0.7%. China weakened its currency this week in a bid to boost exports by making them cheaper. The move has sparked fears that China’s economic slowdown is worse than expected. That could push the Fed to move more cautiously when it comes to raising U.S. interest rates.

Parenting trainwrecks roll into theaters Mamie Gummer and Meryl Streep shed their mother-daughter warmth for Ricki and the Flash. Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY
You don’t have to look far these days for reminders of just how hard it is to be a good parent. Parental struggles are all over the big screen this summer — from Meryl Streep’s rock ’n’ roll mother in Ricki and the Flash to faulty advice from Dad in Trainwreck. “The struggle to be a great parent, that’s something everyone who has raised a kid can relate to,” says Jonathan Demme, director of Ricki and the Flash. “To be a parent, earn a living, fulfill your ambitions; that’s all a tall order, man. It’s easy to go wrong.” Here are some of the ways it goes very wrong onscreen this summer:

Streep plays the aging rocker Ricki, with her screen daughter Julie played by Streep’s real-life daughter Mamie Gummer. Ricki ends up the source of long-building family scorn, which started when she left to make her music dreams come true in Los Angeles. Decades later, she barely earns an invite to her son’s wedding. She’s broke and still has commitment issues with her boyfriend. Demme says he had to make sure Streep and Gummer’s solid real relationship didn’t come through onscreen. “It was like, please don’t be mommy and daughter for the next six weeks. Please,” Demme says. “You be Julie, who hates her mom. You be Ricki, who left her kids behind, and you have that guilt.”
There are two generations of absent parents in this dysfunctional-family dramedy opening Aug. 21. Sage (Julia Garner) ends up going to her grandmother, Elle (Lily Tomlin), when she gets pregnant by her boyfriend. Sage’s driven single-mother, Judy (Marcia Gay Harden), had her own parent problems growing up, which made her a selfdescribed “misanthrope.” Judy can hardly stop her treadmill workout when her daughter decides to break the news to her.

THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL
Kristen Wiig’s ’70s screen mother, Charlotte, never loses her love of partying — enjoying cocaine, drinking and copious marijuana while serving as a checked-out mother to Minnie (Bel Powley) in this dark coming-of-age comedy. It all turns with a twist that only Jerry Springer would find acceptable: Minnie having an affair with Mom’s boyfriend, Monroe (Alexander Skarsgård).
Amy (Amy Schumer) is unable to commit in relationships as an adult. The raunchy comedy starts with her father (played by Colin Quinn) explaining to his two daughters why he’s getting a divorce.

While Mission: Impossible has found a popular way to reimagine an old show for modern times, Man is immersed in all things retro — from the ginchy fashion to a jazzy score — but for an action adventure, it’s a tedious affair with fleeting moments of cool.

Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer don’t quite hit the kitsch-cool mark in The Man from U.N.C.L.E. lin circa 1963. Not only are they at ideological loggerheads, but the suave, smooth Napoleon and strong, silent Illya bicker about everything, from who has the better fashion sense to who rescued whom. The third member of the team is actually the most interesting:
Alicia Vikander as sarcastic mechanic Gaby Teller, the East German daughter of the AWOL Udo. The actress gives Gaby a fine air of unpredictability, dancing in goofy sunglasses one minute and wrestling with Illya (and a heap of sexual tension) the next. Ritchie’s early work — especial-
ly Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch — went all in with its hardscrabble, quirky style. With U.N.C.L.E., he only goes so far yet never wholly embraces the campy aesthetic. Cavill has been in search of a role that embraces his leadingman potential, but he hasn’t found it here, coming off as Bond lite. His stilted, slow speech also makes it sound as if he just started studying the American English edition of Rosetta Stone. On the other side, the underrated Hammer seems to be having a ball as the by-the-book Illya. He slightly resembles David McCallum, the original TV Kuryakin, and has obviously attended the Boris and Natasha School for Russian Accents. As thick as it is — and hoo-boy, it is thick, leaving no “R” unrolled — it does add humor to his delivery. While those moments give U.N.C.L.E. some spark, a forgettable and clunky plot and a dearth of really good spy shenanigans keep this Man from being as explosively groovy as it could be.

Pulling away ————
Three receivers earning separation in preseason camp By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com
Throughout the offseason, the phrase “earn it” has been the mantra of the Kansas University football coaching staff. Evidently, a few wide receivers have. Speaking with the media Friday before the Jayhawks’ ninth practice of preseason camp, receivers coach Klint Kubiak showered some love on three wideouts who have had fantastic camps thus far. “Separation has occurred,” Kubiak said. “We’ve got two individuals who have stepped up. (Virginia Tech transfer) Joshua Stanford has done a really good job, so we’ve moved him up. (Senior) Tre’ Parmalee has maintained his spot, and that third guy is a real fight.” M o ments later, Kubiak added walk-on Shakiem Barbel’s name to the list and apologized for leaving him off initially. “Shak’s done an unbelievable job,” Kubiak said. “He’s a Swiss Army knife right now. He’s played every position. I’ve moved him from X to Z to H. He’s played some Y. I rely on his leadership, and every time he goes in there he makes a play. Shak is a major part of our group and a major leader.” While those three players have played their way to the front of a group that goes 17 deep — they’re typically the first three receivers out there during practice when the Jayhawks run live offense with the first team — Kubiak said he was looking forward to today’s first live scrimmage to help him identify the next tier. “We’d like to be at least two deep,” Kubiak said. “And right now, in our base package, we’re going three receivers, so I need six individuals that can play. Eventually we’d like
to get to a spot where we go eight deep, and we’re young, and he’s a freshman, and you just don’t developing that right now.” know.” Like Kubiak, first-year head coach David Beaty, As the youngest member of Beaty’s staff, Kua former receivers coach, praised Stanford and biak has both the energy and the drive to put in as also added true freshman Steven Sims to the list much time as it takes to find out every deof wideouts who had stood out so far. tail about players like Sims and the rest “Joshua Stanford is a talented guy, and of KU’s unproven receiving corps, on I would like to think he’s gonna help us and off the field. this year,” Beaty said. “You can tell he’s “In my position, I’m a young guy, and got some burst, and he’s got some real I’ve got a lot to prove to the coaches I talent.

Holland, K.C. bounce back Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Before every game, Royals pitching coach David Eiland checks on each of his relievers, just to see how they’re feeling and make sure they would be available if called upon. Not only did Greg Holland say he was available, he practically demanded to pitch. The former All-Star closer rebounded from a disastrous blown save with a
breezy ninth inning Friday night, helping a strong start by Danny Duffy and a tworun homer by Eric Hosmer stand up in a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. “I knew when we left here yesterday he wanted to pitch,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Then he told Dave in batting practice, he said, ‘I’m great. I want back in there if it’s a save.’” Holland earned his 26th save after a scoreless inning
apiece from Ryan Madson and Kelvin Herrera, finishing off a solid bounce-back performance by the normally staunch Royals bullpen.

Several ailing Chiefs might sit tonight Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs could be forced to rest a handful of players in their exhibition opener tonight in Arizona because of nagging injuries. Linebacker is where they are most banged up. Former first-round pick Dee Ford is still out due a concussion, Josh Mauga left practice Wednesday because of a bum heel, D.J. Alexander is hobbled by an ankle injury and James-Michael Johnson by a calf injury. That means rookies Ramik Wilson and Justin March could get considerable time. Chiefs coach Andy Reid plans to play starters in the first quarter, the second unit in the second quarter and into the third, with the rest of the reserves finishing the game. Jeremy Maclin says he hopes to play after missing two practices this week because of a neck strain.

NFL warns against fighting Foxborough, Mass. (ap) — The NFL warned teams about fighting during games in response to inter- and intra-team altercations that have erupted in training camp, including the one that left New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith with a broken jaw. In a memo obtained by the Associated Press, executive vice president Troy Vincent reminded all 32 teams on Friday that “fighting will not be tolerated.” Vincent asked coaches, general managers and club executives to remind players of the rules, and noted that the prohibition of fighting will be a point of emphasis for officials. “These rules are in place for the protection and safety of our players and to keep them on the field,” Vincent wrote. “As professionals, no matter how emotional the game becomes, there is nothing that should resort to fighting.” The memo cited Article 12 of the NFL rules, which prohibits “striking, kicking or kneeing opponents.” The penalty for a violation is 15 yards, with the official given the discretion whether to also eject the player from the game in the case of a flagrant violation. The memo also cited the 2015 League Policy for Players, which says: “Don’t fight, and if a fight breaks out involving other players, stay away.’” Training camp fights are a long tradition, with young players or others trying to make the roster attempting to impress coaches with their intensity but sometimes taking it too far. Washington and Houston had several fights during a joint practice, one of them devolving into a bench-clearing brawl that caused no injuries but forced the coaches to separate the teams for the rest of the day. Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant and cornerback Tyler Patmon threw fists at each other in practice; Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin exchanged words and punches; the Titans had three scuffles in a night practice; and Carolina quarterback Cam Newton scuffled with cornerback Josh Norman. Smith is out 6-10 weeks after he was punched by Jets linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali, who was immediately released and soon signed by the Buffalo Bills.

IN THIS OCT. 14, 2011, FILE PHOTO, BUBBA CUNNINGHAM SMILES DURING A NEWS CONFERENCE after being introduced as the new athletic director at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. UNC continues to be plagued by its long-running academic scandal. University officials say they have discovered more violations related to the scandal while preparing UNC’s response to the notice of allegations they received from the NCAA in May. The response, due next week, has been delayed.
North Carolina uncovers additional violations Chapel Hill, N.C. — North Carolina uncovered possible additional NCAA violations in women’s basketball and men’s soccer while preparing the response to its long-running academic scandal, the school announced Friday. Its response to the NCAA, due next week, has been delayed. The NCAA will set a date after a review of the new information, school officials said. During a 20-minute conference call with reporters, athletic director Bubba Cunningham twice referred to the school’s ongoing effort to “earn back trust.” “As painful as it is, it’s part of the Carolina culture that we want to know what happened, we want to understand it, we want to fix it,” he said. Cunningham said the new information in women’s basketball was discovered when officials prepared to release emails from former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein’s eight-month investigation. In their review of up to 6 million pages of information, they uncovered more examples of possible improper academic assistance to players. They also discovered potential recruiting violations over two years in men’s soccer that were unrelated to the current NCAA probe. “I’m very disappointed in the timing. I’m very disappointed in the impact it’s going to have on the institution, on the program and how it delays where we were,” Cunningham said. “But I’m proud of the fact that people owned up to the mistakes that happened.” He said those possible violations came to light when the school administered a compliance test to its men’s soccer coaches and one of them got a question wrong. The AD didn’t identify the coach and declined to disclose additional details because the investigation is ongoing. “We came to understand the coaches misunderstood the rules, and we immediately turned that in,” Cunningham said. Under NCAA procedures, if those are determined to be Level I or II violations, the notice of allegations must be amended to include them.

Sam leaving Alouettes Montreal — Michael Sam is stepping away from pro football. Sam, the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL, has told the Canadian Football League’s Montreal Alouettes that he is leaving the team. “The last 12 months have been very difficult for me, to the point where I became concerned with my mental health,” Sam tweeted Friday. “Because of this I am going to step away from the game at this time.” The Alouettes confirmed in a release that Sam has left the club for “personal reasons” and that he has been added to the team’s suspended list. He did not play in Montreal’s home loss to Edmonton on Thursday night, with the team citing a sore back. He made his CFL debut the previous week. The 25-year-old defensive end, the 2013 Southeastern Conference defensive player of the year at Missouri, failed to record a tackle in Montreal’s loss to Ottawa. Sam agreed to a two-year deal with the Alouettes this summer. He left training camp June 12, citing personal reasons, and sat out the team’s first five games.

seconds left, and Carolina won it on a two-point conversion. The Panthers’ third-string quarterback hit Paul Browning for the two-pointer to seal the victory, as coach Ron Rivera went for the win rather than have an exhibition game decided in overtime. The loss spoiled new Bills coach Rex Ryan’s first game at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Fired by the New York Jets at the end of last season, he was hired by Buffalo to replace Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31. The Bills were in a position to win after EJ Manuel put them ahead 24-17 by hitting receiver Deonte Thompson in stride for a 51-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.
Atlanta — Tennessee rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, whose first two drives ended with an interception and a fumble, recovered to lead a touchdown drive in the Titans’ 31-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in a preseason opener Friday night. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan completed all six passes for 86 yards on his only possession, including a 13-yard touchdown to Julio Jones. With the assistance of Mariota’s early turnovers, the Falcons led 17-0 behind new coach Dan Quinn before the Titans pulled even at 24.

Eli Manning and the rest of the offense stayed on the field until early in the second quarter, managing only one first down and 38 yards in four series. The teams practiced against each other for two days last week without incident.
Jaguars 23, Steelers 21 Jacksonville, Fla. — Ben Roethlisberger threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Martavis Bryant on the opening drive, and Pittsburgh was much more proficient in its second preseason game. The Jaguars (1-0) were the real losers, though. Tight end Julius Thomas injured a finger on his left hand on the team’s second play and did not return. The Steelers (0-2) managed just three points and 191 yards in a 14-3 loss to Minnesota in the Hall of Fame game last Sunday.

“Very talented, big guy,” Beaty said. “We needed him. There’s no doubt about it. He’s definitely going to give us some added depth there. He’s played quite a bit of football there at Miami, and I’m really excited about him being here. But he’s gonna have to earn it like the rest of ’em.” Doing so might be easier for King than it is for KU’s receivers and offensive linemen, positions that have nearly 20 players battling for just a few spots. “The thing about him earning it is, he’s at a little bit of an advantage because there’s not as many (Dtackles) here,” Beaty said. “He doesn’t have as big of a mountain to climb.”

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP
Yanks end Jays’ streak American League Yankees 4, Blue Jays 3 Toronto — Carlos Beltran hit a huge home run in the eighth inning, Andrew Miller escaped a big jam in the ninth, and New York stopped Toronto’s 11-game winning streak, beating the Blue Jays on Friday night. Miller struck out Ben Revere and Troy Tulowitzki with runners on second and third to close out the victory. The win moved the Yankees a half-game ahead of Toronto and back into first place in the AL East. David Price took a 3-0 lead into the eighth before New York rallied. He left after Chase Headley’s RBI double, and Beltran then greeted reliever Aaron Sanchez (6-5) with a pinch-hit, three-run homer.

THE YANKEES’ CARLOS BELTRAN CELEBRATES HITTING A THREE-RUN HOME RUN during New York’s 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Friday in Toronto. Red Sox 15, Mariners 1 Boston — Travis Shaw hit two home runs, and Rusney Castillo hit one to carry Boston to a win over Seattle, just hours after Red Sox manager John Farrell announced he’s taking a medical leave to treat lymphoma.

SCOREBOARD PGA Championship

HIROSHI IWATA HITS ON THE 18TH HOLE during the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Iwata finished with a 63.
A 63, a Spieth rally and a delay at PGA Sheboygan, Wis. (ap) — The second round of the PGA Championship offered a little bit of everything Friday. Except a conclusion. On one side of the golf course, Jordan Spieth was piling up enough birdies to momentarily tie for the lead at Whistling Straits. On the other side with far less attention, Hiroshi Iwata ran off five birdies and an eagle and tied the major championship record with a 63. Dustin Johnson was losing ground in the rough and in the bunkers, falling out of the lead with three bogeys in a fourhole stretch. John Daly lost his cool and then lost a 6-iron when he heaved it in Lake Michigan. And that was before a wicked storm that packed gusts up to 48 mph and suspended the second round. Jason Day ran off three straight birdies and was tied for the lead with Matt Jones at 9-under par when players were taken off the course. The storm was severe enough to topple the main scoreboard at the entrance and rip flags off the poles atop some of the grandstands. The round was to resume at 6 a.m. today. Justin Rose pulled within one shot of the

team to bounce back. Greg went out and did his thing tonight,” said Duffy, who allowed five hits without a walk in six innings — though he did hit three batters to match a franchise record. “We’re a very confident group. We just erase and re-record.” Duffy (6-5) managed to wiggle out of a handful of jams, leaving six Angels on base — three in scoring position. Los Angeles wound up leaving 10 stranded. The Royals mustered just one hit off Jered Weaver (4-9) until the sixth, when Ben Zobrist led off with a double to right. He tied the game moments later when first baseman Albert Pujols let a sharply hit grounder by Lorenzo Cain through his legs for an error. “A tough hop, nothing I could do,” he said. Hosmer followed with his 406-foot shot over the bullpen in right field. The Angels, meanwhile, resumed their losing ways on the road. Their victory in the opener of the four-game series had snapped their ninegame skid away from Anaheim. The last time Angels won consecutive road games was July 3-8. Things looked promising for them in the first inning, when Shane
lead with back-to-back birdies. He headed to the 18th tee, feeling good about being able to finish. “I opened my big mouth to the boys playing with us,” Rose said. “I said, ‘The end is in sight.’ And 30 seconds later, they blew the horn. So my name is mud all over here.” Tiger Woods, for all his struggles in the majors this year, can at least say he made it to the weekend in three of them. He made the cut at the Masters. He missed the cut on Saturday at the wind-delayed British Open. There was still hope at the PGA Championship, though he was 4 over with five holes to play, two shots away from the projected cut. The leaderboard was as clouded as the sky over Whistling Straits. Seven players had at least a share of the lead at some point Friday, when a strong breeze in the morning gave way to steamy sunshine and virtually no wind until the storms moved in. When players were evacuated from the course, 11 players were separated by three shots. David Lingmerth of Sweden made only four pars in his wild round of 70 and was the clubhouse leader at 7-under 137. One shot behind was a group

Victorino hit a leadoff triple and trotted home on Mike Trout’s double. But the Angels’ slumping offense managed three singles off Duffy over the next five innings, failing to take advantage of three hit batters. Taylor Featherstone and Victorino were plunked back-to-back in
that included Spieth, the Masters and U.S. Open champion who is very much in the picture to join Woods and Ben Hogan as the only players to win three majors in one year. Scott Piercy (70) and Brendan Steele (69) joined Spieth at 6-under 138. The star of the day was Iwata, a 34-year-old from Japan who had every reason to think his first appearance in the PGA Championship would be a short one. He opened with a 77 and still was 3 over when he reached the back nine. Iwata reeled off five birdies and an eagle, and he saved par on the 18th for a 63. It was the 27th time that a player shot 63 in a major, 13 of those in the PGA Championship and most recently Jason Dufner at Oak Hill two years ago. “When I came here, I was thinking just to make my game better and better and on Sunday, I can be in the top 10,” Iwata said through a translator. Even with a recordtying score, he still has plenty of work ahead of him to do that. Iwata was at 4-under 140 and losing ground as one player after another took aim at Whistling Straits in good scoring conditions.

The market seems to be quite stable.

New jobs bring new people looking to buy homes. That’s great for our market.
