Schools: Tests prove case

PUBLISHED SINCE 1891

CITY COMMISSION

Audit shows KPERS hoists Plaintiffs say declining exam scores long-term validate claims of funding inadequacy debt burden The failures reflected in the — assessments are directly attributable

“

BY PETER HANCOCK • phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Plaintiffs in the ongoing school finance lawsuit are telling the Kansas Supreme Court that student test scores in reading and math prove Kansas is failing to fund its public schools adequately and that schools need roughly half a billion dollars a year in additional funding. But attorneys for the state counter that funding is at record levels and all schools are meeting state accreditation standards, and they say a court order for additional funding would be “a flagrant violation of the separation of powers.” Those are some of the central arguments that both parties made in briefs filed with the court on Friday. To bolster its case, the four plaintiff school districts point to recent scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP scores, that show minority students, particularly black students, and students from lowerincome households consistently score lower than white and upperincome students, and that in many cases the disadvantaged groups are falling further behind. The NAEP exams in reading and math are administered every

U.S. Reps warn of ‘attack’ on fossil fuel industry By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press

Wichita — Kansas oil and gas producers listened to dire warnings Monday about their industry’s future from two House members during their convention in Wichita. U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association that there is still an assault on the

industry by President Barack Obama’s administration ranging from a regulatory environment to tax proposals. She claims the administration wants to put them out of business. U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo recounted the coal industry’s problems, and told oil and gas producers they should know they are next. He called it a “full-scale assault”

A multimillion-dollar shortfall in state pensions owed to City of Lawrence employees could negatively affect the city’s long-term budget, should contribution rates increase in the future. The $58.8 million shortfall in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System for City of Lawrence employees is not controlled by the city, but potential plans to close gaps in the state’s pension fund have included raising the employer contribution rate. The city employs about 750 full-time employees, and such a rate increase would impact the city’s bottom line. “If we have to contribute more, that has to come from somewhere, so we’d have to make some decisions,” said City Auditor Michael Eglinski. The city has always had pension debt, but this is the first year that accounting rules required that financial audit reports include net pension liabilities. City commissioners at their meeting on Tuesday evening will be discussing the annual audit from Eglinski, who takes a look at various financial indicators for the city. The report measures totals for 2015, and compares it to the last 10 years of data, as well as benchmarks for other cities comparable to Lawrence. Overall, Eglinski noted that the audit shows mixed results. The report found that the city’s financial position remains above area benchmarks in 5 of 11 categories that he measured. Owing in part to the inclusion of pension debt, the city’s long-term debt burden rose sharply from 2014

LAWRENCE • STATE

EARL ALLEN 'AL' KELLEY 12.24.1932 – 8.13.2016 Earl ‘Al’ Allen Kelley passed in peace on August 13, 2016 at the age of 83 after a celebrated life welllived. Al was born December 24, 1932 in Dearing, Kansas, the son of Frank and Bertice (McColm) Kelley. He married his beloved Barbara ‘Barb’ Ann Hampton on April 10, 1955 in Oskaloosa, KS. She survives of the home. Other survivors include: a daughter, Kirsten Reecy of Tremont, Il; two sons: Allen Kelley and his wife Janet of Lawrence, KS, and Jeff Kelley of Portland, Oregon. Al also leaves behind one sister, Mavis Clark of Grandview Missouri, one brother, Larry Kelley of Peoria, IL, 11 grandchildren, 3 step grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his brother, Dean Kelley. Al attended the University of Kansas where he was a member of Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He played men’s basketball for the Jayhawks on the freshman squad in 1951, and the varsity squad from 1952 1954. He was a member of the 1952 team that won the NCAA National Championship. At Kansas Al made AllBig Seven in 1953 & 1954. In 1953 he was initiated into the Sachem chapter of the Omicron Delta Kappa fraternity. In the 1954 season, he led the Jayhawks in free throw shooting with 86.2 percent, which at the time ranked second in the nation. That same year he participated in the East West AllStar game. Al then joined Caterpillar’s college graduate training program and played for its AAU team. Caterpillar traveled to Rio de Janeiro in 1954, where it won the AllWorld Championship. For two years (1956 & 1957), Al served in the US Air Force. While with the Air Force AAU team in 1957, he won the AAU National Championship in Denver, CO. He repeated the feat in 1958 after rejoining Caterpillar’s team. In 1960, Al was selected to play for the United States Olympic Team after Caterpillar fell to the College AllStars in the playoff game. The Olympic team went on to win the gold medal in His favorite Rome. memories of the Olympic experience were watching an 18 year old Cassius Clay dominate the boxing scene, and of the American Flag being raised while our National Anthem played during the presentation ceremony. In 1984 Al was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame. In 1985 he was

inducted into the Greater Peoria Sports Hall of Fame. Al worked for Caterpillar Tractor Company for four and a half decades. He retired in 1999 as the manager of the parts department at the Denver Plant after a career that spanned almost as many accolades (and relocations, the family recounts) as years. Al was elected to the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2010 he was elected to the National Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts as a member of the 1960 Olympic team. In 2013 he was inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. Al will be fondly remembered by family and friends in many ways: As a loving and devoted husband to Barb, and as an inspiring and adoring Patriarch to his children and grandchildren. As an admired and loyal friend. As a proud patriot and Air Force Veteran. As a gold medal Olympian, and a member of the 1952 KU champion basketball team. As a shining example of the benefits of hard work and perseverance. His character framed his accomplishments beautifully. He often said, ‘I’m a Kansan by birth, but a Jayhawk by the Grace of God!’ God Speed & Rock Chalk, Al.

Missouri regulators question proposed KCP&L, Westar merger Wichita (ap) — Questions over whether the proposed $12.2 billion merger of Westar Energy and Kansas City Power & Light is detrimental to utility customers could lead to possible rejection by Missouri regulators. Missouri-based Great Plains Energy announced in May that it had reached an agreement to purchase Kansas-based Westar Energy and consolidate operations to serve 1.5 million customers on both sides of the state line. The future of that plan appears to hinge in large part on whether the transaction would harm customers and whether Westar, Kansas’ dominant utility company, technically is a “public utility”

under Missouri law, The Wichita Eagle reported. If the Missouri Public Service Commission claims jurisdiction and decides the sale would hurt the state’s electric customers, it could quash the deal. The commission’s staff says job cuts and possible outsourcing could harm customers if the deal goes through. The staff also claims Great Plains violated a 2001 agreement with the agency that it wouldn’t acquire any public utilities without commission approval. Great Plains counters that combining the two companies would benefit customers on both sides of the state line. Great Plains also insists it doesn’t need Missouri approval of the

deal because Westar isn’t a public utility under Missouri law. The Public Service Commission closed a staff investigation into the transaction last week and invited its staff to file a formal case challenging the merger if it thinks the deal would hurt customers. James Owen, acting director of Missouri’s Office of Public Counsel, said he believes commission staff will file a challenge, but if not, Owen said his office will. In Missouri, the public counsel represents the interests of residential and small-business utility customers, similar to the role of the Kansas Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board. Commission staff said

it sees the potential for two main problems that could hurt customers and the state’s economy if the sale goes through. First, Great Plains would be spending a huge amount of money — including paying off $3.6 billion in Westar debt — for the company, which could hurt Great Plains’ credit rating and force customers to pay higher rates for the company to borrow money. The deal also could lead to layoffs, outsourcing and possibly degraded service as Great Plains tries to capture savings from the merger, the staff report said. “At this time, Staff maintains that all of the known evidence supports a determination that the proposed

Man accused of exposing himself to minor By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

After a string of incidents and a chase, a Lawrence man stands accused of exposing himself to a minor and has been barred from entering several department stores on the south side of town. Tyler Earl Jefferson, 22, was arrested Aug. 9. He faces a felony count of lewd and lascivious behavior, a misdemeanor count of lewd and lascivious behavior, a misdemeanor count of breach of privacy and a misdemeanor count of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. According to a criminal complaint filed against Jefferson in Douglas County District Court, he is accused of exposing himself twice on July 27, once to a 9-year-old and again to an adult. He is also accused of

eavesdropping on private conversations the same day, violating the privacy of those involved. Jefferson is also accused of fleeing police on Aug. 6 when they were attempting to stop his vehicle, the complaint says. Although the complaint does not indicate exactly where the reported crimes took place, several Lawrence Police Department incident numbers listed on the document provide a general location: l A sex crime report from 2:50 p.m. July 1. Three officers responded to the call in the 4800 block of Bob Billings Parkway. l A suspicious activity report from 7:27 p.m. July 27. Three officers responded to the call in the 3200 block of Iowa Street. l Another suspicious activity report from 8:02 p.m. July 27. Two officers responded to the call in the

3200 block of Iowa Street. l An attempt to elude call from 5:35 p.m. Aug. 6. Eight officers responded to the call in the 2500 block of West 31st Street. Erika Winkels, a spokeswoman for Target, acknowledged an “incident” did occur at the Lawrence store, which is in the 3200 block of Iowa Street, but declined to address specifics from the case. “I can confirm that the store contacted police as soon as they were made aware of this incident,” she said in an email. “It’s Target’s practice to partner closely with law enforcement for any incident in our stores.” Jefferson is currently being held in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. If Jefferson posts bond, he is ordered not to return to Kohl’s, T.J. Maxx or Target.

Local representatives from Kohl’s and T.J. Maxx declined to comment on Jefferson’s arrest. Because criminal charges have been filed against Jefferson, Lawrence Police Sgt. Laurie Powell declined to comment on his arrest. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek said Jefferson’s booking photo was “not required to be disclosed under the Kansas Open Records Act” and would not provide it to the Journal-World. A date for Jefferson’s preliminary hearing, at which the court will determine whether there is enough evidence to order him to stand trial, will be set at 2 p.m. Wednesday. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284.

transaction is detrimental to the public interest and ought not to be permitted to go forward,” the report concluded. The acquisition first has to be approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission, but Great Plains has asserted from the start that it doesn’t need Missouri’s permission. The Kansas commission has until April to make a decision and said last week that it will require Great Plains to prove the deal will benefit utility customers. Missouri’s utility staff argues that a 2001 agreement that allowed Great Plains to incorporate as a utility holding company requires Public Service Commission approval

before Great Plains buys other public utilities. Great Plains argues that the term “public utility” isn’t defined in the agreement and thus defaults to definitions in state law. Missouri law defines a public utility as “doing business in Missouri, where Westar is not,” said Chuck Caisley, a vice president of Great Plains. Westar and KCP&L jointly own three power plants on the Kansas side of the state line and Westar owns a 40 percent share of a fourth plant in Missouri, but that doesn’t make Westar a Missouri public utility because the company doesn’t provide power directly to retail customers, Caisley said.

School board trims budget, defers action on community center By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Baldwin City school board on Monday approved a budget that trimmed about $80,000 from the 2016-2017 budget approved for publication earlier this month. The board unanimously passed the budget with a property tax levy of 63.674 mills, which is 2.043 mills less than the 2015-2016 mill rate. At that rate, the school district’s share of taxes on a $200,000 home would be $1,414. The last-minute budget cut was made to the district’s bond and interest fund. Superintendent Paul Dorathy and district financial director Cynde Frick said they recommended a 1-mill decrease in that fund to hedge against a possible large mill levy increase

after the Kansas Supreme Court rules on the constitutional question of the state adequately funding K-12 education and the Kansas Legislature’s response to such a ruling. However, they agreed that another mill reduction to the bond and interest fund would be sustainable. That was what the board chose to do, noting the 2017 property tax increases approved in Baldwin City and Douglas County budgets. In the other big item on the agenda, the board tabled until next month any decision about raising the Baldwin City Recreation Commission’s mill levy by 2.75 mills to help pay for a new community center. The board also agreed the district would work with BCRC Director Steve Friend on a

mailing to be sent to all district households before the board’s Sept. 19 meeting, which would explain why the district is involved in the community center project and the options before the district. The board is involved because the BCRC has no taxing authority. Thus, the board approves its annual 4-mill levy that supports BCRC’s operating budget, and another 1 mill for its salaries and benefits. It would likewise have to approve the 2.75 mills, which would pay for half of the $5 million community center. The Baldwin City Council has approved putting a Feb. 7, 2017, referendum before city voters on a half-cent sales tax that would provide the other $2.5 million needed to build the community center.

As district legal counselor Brad Finkeldei explained, the state statute school allowing the board to increase the BCRC’s mill levy for the community center doesn’t require, or allow, a districtwide referendum on that decision unless there was a successful protest petition. The “weird” state statute also doesn’t allow the school board to pass a mill levy increase conditional on city voters approving the sales tax, nor to ever rescind the mill levy increase — even should the sales tax be rejected, Finkeldei said. The tax would be subject to a possible protest petition annually, as is the BCRC’s current property tax assessment, he said. The added BCRC mill levy authority would not sunset when the

community center debt was retired, although future BCRC boards would not have to levy the tax, Finkeldei said. That information leaves the board with the options of refusing to increase property taxes for the community center, approving the tax increase or passing a nonbonding resolution of its intent to approve a tax increase if city voters approve the sales tax increase. Although a nonbonding resolution would avoid the prospect of the added mill levy remaining in place should city voters reject the sales tax, it did set up opposite possibility should the board defer action on the property tax hike. City voters could approve the sales tax, only to have district voters reject the property tax

increase in a subsequent referendum following a protest petition, Finkeldei said. With the hope the mailing would help the public better understand the complexity of the issue, the board agreed to table the issue for a month. In other business, the board: l Approved the refinancing of $8.8 million in bonds dating from 2008, 2009 and 2010, which will save the district $309,000. l Learned of issues with online enrollment, which the district is working through. Dorathy said an evaluation would be made later in the school year about whether the district would look for another software provider for next year. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

Several hotels make restaurant inspection list for early August

handful of hotels made their way onto the restaurant inspection list for the first half of August. Coincidentally, the inspections come at a time when students are trickling back — OK, maybe they’re returning in droves — and I’m sure Lawrence’s hospitality industry is seeing plenty of business.

Scores

the number held steady at 19 percent. But among minority and poor students, the numbers grew even more sharply, to 43 percent among blacks, 29 percent for Hispanics and 26 percent for lower-income students. Eighth-grade reading and math scores were relatively stable over that period. But still, minority and lower-income students in Kansas were much more likely than students overall, both nationally and in Kansas, to score “below basic.” The plaintiffs also point to the state’s own reading and math assessments, which were administered for the first time in 2015 in line with the state’s new College and Career Ready academic standards. Based on those first-year results, nearly a quarter of all students in Kansas were performing below grade level in math, and two-thirds of them were not considered on track for college readiness. In English language arts, more than one-fifth of Kansas students were performing below grade level, and more than half (58 percent) were not on track for college readiness. “The failures reflected in the assessments are directly attributable to the State’s inadequate funding of education,” Alan Rupe, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, stated in his brief. Attorneys for the state, however, state repeatedly in their brief that current public school funding is at “record” levels and that all schools are currently accredited, which means they must be providing all of the required services. “The Plaintiff Districts have not met their heavy burden of proving that current funding is constitutionally inadequate,” Kansas Solicitor General Stephen McAllister wrote in the state’s brief.

other year to a random sample of fourth- and eighth-grade students in each state. Their scores are ranked into three achievement levels: “proficient,” defined as “solid academic performance;” “basic,” meaning “partial mastery” of the knowledge and skills needed at each grade level; and “below basic.” Among Kansas fourthgraders, the plaintiffs argue, the number of students scoring “below basic” on the national reading test grew substantially from 2009 to 2015, from 28 percent to 32 percent. But the biggest increases were among black and Hispanic students and students from lower-income households. More than half (56 percent) of black fourthgraders scored “below basic” on the reading test in 2015, along with 46 percent of Hispanic students and 46 percent of students who qualify for free or reduced price meals. All of those percentages were sharply higher than they were in 2009, the year Kansas began cutting school funding in the wake of the Great Recession, the plaintiffs argued. Furthermore, the number of fourth-grade minority students scoring below basic grew in Kansas even as similar minority students nationwide were improving. Among all students nationally, however, only 32 percent scored “below basic” on the fourthgrade reading test, which was virtually unchanged from 2009. On the fourth-grade math test, there was a similar decline in performance among Kansas students. The number scoring “below basic” grew from 11 percent to 17 percent over six years, while nationally

In January 2013, a three-judge panel in Topeka ruled that funding levels at that time were inadequate and ordered the state to restore the cuts that had been made since 2009, roughly $450 million at the time. A year later, though, the Kansas Supreme Court reversed that ruling and sent the case back, telling the panel to reconsider using a different legal standard for judging adequacy, one based on student outcomes rather than the cost of providing services. After a new set of hearings, though, the panel reaffirmed its earlier ruling, using test scores available at the time to show a large number of students, especially lower-income and minority students, were failing to meet the state’s standards on reading and math tests. In 2015, however, Kansas lawmakers abolished the school funding formula that had been in place more than 20 years, replacing it for two years with a block grant funding system that effectively froze funding for each school district in place, regardless of changes in their enrollment. That has already become a major issue in the 2016 elections for the Kansas House and Senate. Next year, after the elections, lawmakers are expected to craft a new funding formula. But the Supreme Court could have a lot to say about what that new formula looks like and how much money needs to go into it when it weighs the two sides’ arguments and rules on the lawsuit later this year. Oral arguments before the court are set for Sept. 21. A decision could come at any time after that.

Police: Weights in water park death within limits Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Police say combined weights for a 10-year-old boy and two other people riding a raft with him at a water park when he was killed were within the ride’s limits. Caleb Schwab died Aug. 7 while riding the 168-foot “Verrückt” at Schlitterbahn WaterPark in Kansas City, Kan. Riders are weighed to ensure each raft carries between 400 pounds and 550 pounds. Police Monday released a report showing one rider at 140 pounds, another at 170, and an unclear weight for Caleb. But police said weights taken at a hospital after the accident show one person weighed 275 pounds, another weighed 197 pounds and a third weighed 73 pounds, putting the combined weight at 545 pounds.

Tax trend The increasing mill levy in the county over the long term raises a number of questions that are ripe for discussion

hen Douglas County Commission candidates come knocking on your door, campaigning for votes, it sometimes is difficult to come up with a relevant county topic to quiz the candidates on. That shouldn’t be the case this year. As two of the three County Commission seats are up for election, Douglas County voters should be sure to ask candidates their position on property taxes. County commissioners have just approved a 3 mill increase to the county’s property tax rate. That is higher than the approximately 0.5 mill increase approved by the Lawrence City Commission and much different from the approximately 3.1 mill decrease approved by the Lawrence school board. Granted, a 3 mill property tax increase is not the end of the world. It may not be unreasonable, either, given that the county takes care of many duties that used to receive greater state funding than is now the case. But something noteworthy is going on with the county’s property tax rate. The disturbing figure is not this year’s 3 mill increase, although that will be burdensome to people on fixed incomes and tight budgets. The more eye-catching number is the longterm trend. Since 2007, the county’s mill levy has increased from 29.995 mills to the recently approved rate of 44.098 mills. For further perspective, an owner of a $150,000 home in 2006 paid $517 in county property taxes. In 2016, the amount will be $760. Chances are, that $150,000 home in 2006 has increased in value some over the last 10 years, so the actual increase in property taxes is probably even greater. The prices of most things have increased during the last decade, so the fact the county tax bill has too isn’t surprising. But in a community that believes it has an affordable housing problem, the size of the increase is troubling. In a county that struggles to produce incomes at levels on par with the region, the increase is concerning. The question is what to do about it. Douglas County relies far less on sales taxes than the city of Lawrence does. Some of that is because state law limits how many sales taxes the county can have on the books. But there are ways the county could add a sales tax to its revenue mix. That may be just trading one tax for another, but it at least would be a tax that does a better job of getting revenue from visitors. But adding a sales tax to the mix only would be a benefit to property tax payers if the county used new sales tax revenues to offset current spending that is supported by property taxes. Consolidation of government services is an approach other counties have taken. There certainly are functions that both the city of Lawrence and Douglas County perform. Law enforcement is an obvious one. Building inspections and code enforcement is another one. Consolidation is a topic that would take much study, but the rising property tax rate of the county is good evidence that we ought to have the discussion. A review of what services the county provides, and whether they fall into the “want” or the “need” category also is likely appropriate. Growing incomes and the tax base in the county, of course, is the best answer. But that is easier said than done, and the tax bill comes due regardless of whether the community is successful in growing its tax base. Getting state government to be more fiscally responsible and to stop passing the buck to the local level would be a huge improvement as well . . . but talk about difficult. Douglas County government is well-run with high-quality, professional administrators. Douglas County continues to be one of the more attractive places in all of Kansas to live, and that is in part due to the good local government that exists here. Perhaps the trend of rising property tax rates for Douglas County government is not of major concern to residents. The county’s budget process gets very little feedback from the general public. If so, that is fine. Residents may feel they are still getting a good value for the services rendered. But it would be a mistake to not recognize the trend and talk to county commission candidates about what it means and how it could be different.

Voter ID fight is still far from over In the wake of an unexpected federal appeals court decision, a Texas federal judge on Wednesday eased the restrictions of the state’s onerous voter identification law for this year’s election. But despite Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos’ acceptance of the compromise 2016 plan worked out by the state, the Justice Department and minority rights groups — and despite several other favorable decisions affecting Texas and other

Don’t underestimate the resilience of groups backing tighter voting curbs in the name of preventing largely nonexistent voter fraud.”

states — the battle against Republican efforts to tighten voting laws is hardly over. In Texas, the 2016 plan will allow someone without a photo ID to vote by signing an affidavit that he or she is a U.S. citizen and presenting proof of residence, such as a paycheck, bank statement or utility bill. But it won’t keep state officials from pressing to preserve the 2011 law requiring photo ID, including appealing the 5th Circuit’s ruling against it to the Supreme Court. And don’t underestimate the resilience of groups backing tighter voting curbs in the name of preventing largely nonexistent voter fraud. Court decisions throwing out restrictive measures in North Carolina and Ohio are being challenged in an effort to limit their impact in those two battleground states. At the same time, Republican nominee Donald Trump

added a potentially explosive new issue in one of his typically inflammatory-butuniformed statements, raising the prospect of an election “rigged” by widespread voter fraud. In what many saw as a possible excuse if he loses in November, Trump told The Washington Post, “If the election is rigged, I would not be surprised.” He cited “the voter ID situation,” adding, “We may have people vote 10 times.” And last week, he praised the North Carolina voter ID law that courts have rejected. Though he provided no evidence, Trump will soon be able to cite a forthcoming book by the president of the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, which alleges Justice Department efforts to block voting curbs could instead trigger widespread voter fraud. This counter-attack comes as federal courts are showing increasing resistance to the post-2008 GOP-led effort to curb voting in the name of preventing fraud, despite the slim evidence that fraud is a serious problem. In recent weeks, separate rulings by two appeals courts — the 5th Circuit dominated by conservative judges and the 4th Circuit controlled by liberals — rejected the strict voter ID

laws passed by Texas and North Carolina, confounding expectations of contrary verdicts requiring a Supreme Court resolution. That may yet happen, though the death of Justice Antonin Scalia has left the court split 4-4 on many issues and unable to provide much legal guidance. But the Supreme Court split may change next year, presuming the next president wins Senate confirmation of a justice to fill the court’s vacant ninth seat. A Hillary Clinton nominee could provide a majority to overturn the 2008 decision legalizing state voter ID laws, a decision whose recent skeptics include the appeals court judge whose decision the high court upheld. In the North Carolina case, a 4th Circuit panel ruled out both the state’s voter ID law and other restrictions that reduced early voting days and limited the kinds of documents voters could use to identify themselves. And it rejected an appeal by the state that would have prevented the decision from taking effect this year. Last week, a GOP-controlled Board of Elections in Greensboro shelved a plan that would have made voting harder for college students and black residents. Meanwhile, in Ohio,

where a federal judge blocked the Republican secretary of state’s efforts to shorten early voting time, Judicial Watch went to court to challenge the assertion that the limit would disproportionately burden African-Americans. Elsewhere, federal judges have eased restrictions in voter ID laws in Wisconsin and North Dakota and blocked an effort to require evidence of citizenship for voting in Kansas. The Wisconsin judge said he would have thrown out the state’s law entirely, except for the 2008 Supreme Court decision. It will take some time for these various cases to be resolved, both legislatively and in the courts. Texas GOP officials make clear they do not regard the matter as over. But Richard Hasen, an expert on voting law and a professor of law and political science at the University of California, Irvine, expressed optimism in The New York Times: “We are nearing the end of an era of increasingly restrictive voting rules imposed just about exclusively by Republican legislators and election officials over the objections of Democrats and voting rights groups.” — Carl P. Leubsdorf is the former Washington bureau chief of the Dallas Morning News.

Pay attention to what the past can teach us While we shouldn’t live in the past, we can certainly learn from it. We are not the first humans to walk the Earth and yet too many, especially the young, suffer from the conceit that history is just a boring subject in school. PBS is rerunning episodes on its award-winning series “American Experience” on modern presidents and the challenges they faced. Each episode retraces what presidents believed to be good ideas at the time — from Lyndon Johnson’s program to wipe out poverty and defeat the communists in Vietnam, to George W. Bush’s toppling of Saddam Hussein. In each episode, historians, as well as members of those administrations, are interviewed and provide perspective only hindsight can give. One scene in the LBJ segment is particularly instructive when thinking about the two main candidates in the current presidential race. During consideration of Johnson’s pledge to create a “Great Society,” there is film of him signing a large stack of bills passed by a Democratic Congress. The

narrator says the bills were passed and signed so quickly no one had any idea what the programs would cost, or how they would be implemented. This is the heart of liberalism. Little consideration is given to whether a program or idea will accomplish its stated goal, only intentions matter. In a speech last week in Warren, Mich., Hillary Clinton borrowed from the past, not to learn from it, but to repeat it. “So starting on day one,” she said, “we will work with both parties to pass the biggest investment in new, good-paying jobs since World War II.” She followed with recycled promises to repair infrastructure, such as bridges, highways and airports.

pledges have been tried in the very recent past. Remember President Obama’s “stimulus”? Remember “shovel-ready jobs”? When they didn’t materialize, even the president had to joke that “shovel-ready was not as ... uh ... shovel-ready as we expected.” Remember the infrastructure repair Obama promised? Government doesn’t create private-sector jobs, businesses do. Government can stimulate the private sector by lowering taxes and reducing unnecessary regulations. Hillary Clinton wants to do the reverse. In her view government has all the answers when, in fact, it has few. If it had answers, the problems we face would have long ago been solved. After so many failures, why would voters continue to trust government to fix anything? Hillary Clinton again is using the liberal code word “investment.” She means spending. As the debt approaches $20 trillion, a wise person might say we need to spend less, not more, starting with reforming entitlement programs, which consume a great deal of the budget. Would any business

survive a sales strategy that has failed so dramatically? President Obama has tried everything Hillary Clinton is proposing. It hasn’t worked. Economic growth is stagnant and the 5 percent unemployment rate masks a labor force that has either given up looking for work, is working only part time or is working at jobs that pay less than the employee previously earned. Insurance companies are pulling out of Obamacare due to its high cost. Taxes will soon rise. Bloomberg.com reports home ownership is at its lowest level since 1965. The experience of Democrat liberalism is a theme Donald Trump should hammer home. If you like the damage President Obama has caused, vote for Hillary. She will give you more of the same and you won’t like it. In his best-selling book “The Purpose Driven Life,” Rick Warren writes, “We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” President Hillary Clinton would impose a life sentence of failed liberalism. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

Most Millennials agree on transgender bathroom issue Opinions among older people are more closely divided

The storm’s angry gray clouds settled in over Louisiana, and like a grumpy house guest, they simply refused to leave. Meteorologists call it a “monsoon depression.” The rare weather event dumped more than 20 inches of rain on southwest Mississippi and coastal Louisiana, causing massive flooding in Baton Rouge and Lafayette, La. As meteorologist Tim Destri with the National Weather Service New Orleans/Baton Rouge office explained it, a low-pressure system forms, bringing deep tropical moisture from the warmer water in the Caribbean — almost like a hurricane but without the wind and the name. “Everything came together just right like it would with a tropical weather system,” Destri said.

“This probably ranked up there with some of the top rainfallproducing systems in history.” Meteorologist Tim Destri

Millennials have reached a broad consensus on an issue that divides the nation: By nearly 2-1, they say transgender individuals should be able to use public bathrooms designated for the gender they identify with, not the sex they were born.

The no-name storm isn’t done. The weather service in Baton Rouge forecast at least a 50% chance of rain through Wednesday, though drier conditions are expected in the later portion of the week and into the weekend. That rain will come by way of more “pop-up” storms rather than from the system, though leftover moisture will increase rain chances, Destri said. Destri called it one of the biggest flooding events in the area’s history, recalling the damage wrought by Katrina, the massive hurricane that nearly wiped out New Orleans in 2005. “This probably ranked up there with some of the top rainfall-producing systems in history,” Destri said. “Damage is really significant, I mean extreme, because it’s been so devastating with some houses just completely inundated, just scenes like Katrina almost.” The rain clocked in stunning numbers over the weekend: 22 inches in Livingston, La., near Baton Rouge, and 18 inches in Kentwood, La., a rural town near the v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Trump demands overhaul in battle against terrorism ‘We can never fail to recognize our enemies’ David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO Likening the fight against terrorism to the Cold War and the battle against Nazism, Donald Trump pledged Monday to tighten restrictions on immigration from Muslim countries and assess allies based on their commitment to defeat “radical Islam.” “All actions should be oriented

around this goal, and any country which shares this goal will be our ally,” Trump said in what aides billed as a major foreign policy address. “Very important: Some don’t share this goal. We cannot always choose our friends, but we can never fail to recognize our enemies.” The Republican nominee declared his opposition to “nation building” and other efforts to spread democracy in the Middle East. He attacked the Obama administration — particularly former secretary of State Hillary Clinton — for policies on nations such as Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria and Egypt.

GERALD HERBERT, AP

Donald Trump outlines his foreign policy objectives. Trump blamed President Obama and Clinton for the rise of the Islamic State, the Middle-Eastbased extremist group also known as ISIL or ISIS.

“The Obama-Clinton foreign policy has unleashed ISIS, destabilized the Middle East and put the nation of Iran — which chants, ‘Death to America’ — in a dominant position,” Trump told an invited audience at Youngstown State University in Ohio, a key state in his election battle against his Democratic opponent in November. He said Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face.” Trump advocated a foreign policy overhaul in three general areas: diplomacy, immigration, and national security (particular-

ly cyber security). Trump pledged to work with any country willing to commit to help defeat “radical Islamic terrorism” and criticized Obama and Clinton for their reluctance to use that term. That list of allies would include Russia. Trump proposed a closer relationship with Russia to fight the Islamic State, telling the crowd, “Wouldn’t that be a good thing?” Many of the things Trump attacked — including the Iraq invasion, the Libya intervention and the Iraq withdrawal under Obama — are developments he has supported in past years.

Exposing myths of terrorism’s impact Sherri Mandell Special for USA TODAY

We live in very difficult times, amid violent attacks, including mass shootings from San Bernardino, Calif., to Orlando. I am unfortunately a victim of terror, a veteran victim. We moved to Israel in 1996 from America. Five years later, on May 8, 2001, my eldest child, my 13-year-old son Koby, and his friend Yosef Ish Ran were murdered.

The Daily Advertiser in Lafayette reported more than 20 inches of rain in the city and surrounding communities, pushing the Vermillion River to the brink and causing flooding in Acadia, St. Martin, Iberia and Vermillion. Some rivers in Louisiana broke their crest records by 3 to 4 feet, Destri said. When the Amite River crested at 46.2 feet, far surpassing the old record of 41.5 feet, nearby Denham Springs caught the brunt of it as massive amounts of water coursed through the community.

terror and violence, that affects our communities and our societies at large. The pain and grief, the trauma and stress, create ripples that affect everyone, whether they know us personally or have watched the tragedy on TV. Those who witness trauma (even on the screen) may be at risk for vicarious trauma disorders with the danger of higher stress levels and even PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). When terror and violence hurt some of us, they hurt all of us.

WASHINGTON The Obama administration approved the release of 15 detainees from the detention camps at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to the United Arab Emirates, a move derided Monday night by a leading member of Congress as reckless. Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., who chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee, called the released detainees “hardened terrorists” who will be a threat for years. “In its race to close Gitmo, the Obama administration is doubling down on policies that put American lives at risk,” Royce said in a statement. “Once again, hardened terrorists are being released to foreign countries where they will be a threat.” The Pentagon said in a statement that an interagency review board considered the detainees’ potential threat to security and unanimously approved six of the 15 for release. A consensus was reached on releasing the remaining nine. There are 61 detainees remaining at Guantanamo. According to the Pentagon, the 15 prisoners are Abd al-Muhsin

categorize as a spoon, and we will have to accept it because he feels like it.” Opinion among older Americans is much more closely split. In April, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found by a narrow 43%-41%, the public overall says transgender individuals should use the public bathroom of the gender they were born. Those over 60 say they feel that way by 2-1. On this as other social issues, the rising generation tends to hold liberal or libertarian views. In the USA TODAY poll, 53% describe themselves as liberal on social issues; 26% say they are conservative. That’s in contrast to other concerns. On foreign policy, the divide is much closer, 37% liberal to 32% conservative. On economic issues, 42% say they are liberal, 34% conservative. There are partisan differences on the issue. Supporters of Republican Donald Trump for president say by 55%-41% that transgenders should use the bathroom of the gender they were born. By a much wider margin, supporters of Democrat Hillary Clinton say they should use the bathroom of the gender they identify with, 76%-21%. The battle over bathroom use continues in the courts. Guidelines recently issued by the Obama administration — telling schools to let students use the bathroom of the gender they identify with — have sparked legal challenges. Friday, the state of Texas, leading a coalition of 13 states, asked a federal judge to block the rules in time for the approaching school year. Younger Americans overwhelmingly agree discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a big problem in the USA. One in four say discrimination against the LGBTQ community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) isn’t a big problem; more than seven in 10 say it is. “There is a lot of hate on a dayto-day basis, people judging and making comments and remarks,” says Andrew Piland, 31, a tech executive from San Diego. “While I think discrimination is fading, I still do see it as a problem, and I know people that have dealt with it firsthand.”

JAPAN’S NEW OUTSPOKEN DEFENSE LEADER IS COURTING CONTROVERSY Potential PM urges sovereign nation ‘in name and reality’ Kirk Spitzer USA TODAY

TOKYO Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s new defense chief already has courted controversy as an outspoken conservative and symbol of Japan’s World War II militaristic heritage after less than two weeks on the job. Perhaps that’s why Abe sought to avoid a new flap involving Defense Minister Tomomi Inada on Monday by sending her 6,000 miles away. While two Cabinet ministers and dozens of conservative leaders visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine to mark the 71st anniversary of the end of World War II, Inada was inspecting Japanese troops at a remote air base in the Horn of Africa. The shrine commemorates 2.6 million Japanese who died in World War II, including 14 leaders condemned to death by the U.S.-led Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal. Abe, an ardent conservative, drew criticism at home and abroad — including from the Obama administration — in 2013 for making an official visit to Yasukuni, which has come to symbolize Japan’s oppressive colonial era. He hasn’t visited it since. Inada, 57, appointed Aug. 3, is a rising star in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, just the second woman to hold the nation’s top defense job and a potential successor to Abe. A lawyer and member of Japan’s parliament, the Diet, Inada has generated controversy as a leading voice among those trying to rewrite Japan’s World War II history and urging a more assertive foreign policy. She says there is no evidence of the Imperial Army’s recruitment of up to 200,000 “comfort women” from occupied Asian countries who served as sex slaves

during World War II. She heads a panel questioning the legitimacy of the War Crimes Tribunal, and she has pushed for revision of Japan’s pacifist postwar constitution, drafted largely by the United States. “I want us to break away from the postwar regime and make Japan a sovereign nation both in name and reality,” Inada said in a speech in northern Japan last year. At a news conference following her appointment, Inada deflected questions about Japan’s wartime responsibility. Whether Japan had “invaded” China during World War II “depends on one’s point of view,” she said. Those comments brought swift condemnation from China, which was occupied by Japanese troops

in the 1930s and 1940s. “Her open denial is simply an attempt to cover up Japan’s history of aggression,” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. “If history is denied, ChinaJapan relations have no future.” Inada’s appointment comes amid increasing tensions in the region. This month, China sent a fleet of about 230 fishing vessels and more than a dozen government patrol ships into territorial waters around the uninhabited Senkaku Islands, which are administered by Japan but also are claimed by China. North Korea, which is developing nuclear weapons and longrange missiles in defiance of U.N. resolutions, fired a missile into Japan’s exclusive economic zone in the Sea of Japan on the day of Inada’s appointment. Inada also could present problems for U.S. policymakers. Japan is a key ally and a partner in a U.S. “rebalance” that shifts American focus from Europe to the AsiaPacific region. The United States still has 50,000 troops based in Japan. Inada “is known for her provocative views on history and historical issues, and she is quite outspoken on relations with China and South Korea,” said Sven Saaler, professor of modern Japanese history at Tokyo’s Sophia University. “There is potential for conflict not only with Asian neighbors, but with the United States, as well.” Her trip to the Horn of Africa allowed Inada to skip the Yasukuni visit without upsetting the ruling party’s conservative bloc, whose support she’ll need if she intends to succeed Abe when his term expires in 2018. “The pro-shrine group really keeps a record of who visits the shrine and who doesn’t,” said Yoichiro Sato, professor of international strategic studies at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. “If you don’t go, you need a good excuse — and Abe gave her one.”

GOP urges Americans in Israel to vote for Trump

IN BRIEF DEADLY BOMBING IN TURKEY

100,000 U.S. expats cast ballots in 2012, most for Romney Shira Rubin

Special for USA TODAY

The Republican Party this week launched an election drive to encourage American citizens who live in Israel — especially those from pivotal swing states like Florida — to vote for presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Israeli pro-Trump movement, whose slogan is “In Israel’s interest,” has grown exponentially, especially among young religious American expatriates “fed up with the elites,” said Michal Adar, who is originally from Atlanta and now lives in Raanana. “There’s been a lot of disappointment in (President) Obama, which has translated into support for Trump,” Adar said Monday. He said Trump’s blunt style is “very Israeli in that it’s very direct and very relevant to the kinds of things Israelis are also talking about: Islamic terror, economic problems, our need for real defense.” Sixty-one percent of Israelis see Trump as “moderately” or “very” friendly to Israel, according to an Israel Democracy Institute study released last March. The poll found that 34% considered a Republican candidate would be pro-Israel, compared with 28% who said the same about a Democratic candidate. Adar is active on the Facebook group “Trump White and Blue,” which has nearly 9,000 Israeli and American followers. He works with other American Republican organizations in distributing information and organizing registration centers to help U.S. citizens cast absentee ballots. Trump sparked concern among Jewish Republicans in February, when he said he would be “neutral” in dealing with stalled Israeli-Palestinian negotiations on an independent Palestinian state. He also has been TEL AVIV

A man suspected of fatally shooting a Georgia police officer was arrested. A manhunt had been underway for Royheem Delshawn Deeds, 24, after the shooting of Eastman police officer Tim Smith on Saturday. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Deeds was arrested in Nassau County, Fla. The website of the Nassau County Sheriff's Office in Florida said Deeds was booked into jail just before 3 a.m. Monday. Nassau County is north of Jacksonville. Deeds was arrested on an outof-state warrant for murder in Hilliard, Fla. Taken into custody with him were his sister Franshawn Shanae Deeds, who allegedly drove a getaway vehicle, and Jamil Mitchell, an alleged passenger. Both were arrested on out-ofstate warrants for hindering the apprehension of a fugitive. — Destiny Johnson, WTLV- and WJXX-TV 9 IRAQI MEN ARRESTED OVER NEW YEAR’S DAY RAPE

ambiguous about whether he would recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital (current U.S. policy does not, pending negotiations with Palestinians on its future status.) To offset such worries, Adar points to Trump’s positive comments about the Israeli security wall along the border of territories claimed by Palestinians, calling it a model for the wall that he has vowed to build on the U.SMexican border. “We trust Trump, because we know he shares our values and that he has the right kind of worldview — that maybe not every Muslim is a terrorist, but that every terrorist is in fact a Muslim,” said Adar. Abe Katsman, an American who lives in Jerusalem and works as counsel for the Republicans

Abroad Israel, said, “While Trump was not the first choice for the Republicans in Israel (during the primaries), all indications point to him making things work.” While President Clinton had a favorable reputation in Israel, Hillary Clinton is seen as responsible for Obama’s unpopular policies, including her support of the Iran nuclear deal signed last summer, Katsman said. Republicans Abroad Israel estimates that 100,000 Israelis voted in the last presidential election, with 85% supporting Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Katsman said he hopes the trend continues. Elad Pressman, a pro-Trump American who lives in Tel Aviv, expressed disappointment with the nuclear deal, which he said allows Iran to empower its networks of proxy terrorists throughout the region. “No matter how much the elite media tries to manipulate his image, Trump understands the biggest problem in the region — Iran,” Pressman said. “He understands that to stabilize this region, you need to come to the table with a lot of skepticism.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he does not plan to endorse a candidate.

Apartment building owners are struggling to rent many of the luxury units that have flooded downtowns across the country in recent years even as a relative shortage of multifamily homes in the suburbs has driven up rents. Since 2012, the nation’s supply of apartments has swelled 16.6% in central business districts and 13.5% in “secondary core” areas surrounding the downtowns but just 5.5% for midpriced suburban units, according to real estate research firm CoStar. The downtown building frenzy has been well-publicized as developers cater to Millennials, among other age groups, who have streamed into revitalized cities to be closer to amenities, nightlife and a car-free lifestyle. The CoStar data, however, shows that builders may be putting up too many apartments — most of which are at the high end of the market — in the urban hubs and not enough in outlying areas. Over the past four years, the vacancy rate in downtowns and adjacent districts has climbed from 3.4% to about 5.5%, CoStar figures show. Although new apartment complexes typically take some time to lease up, many units have been sitting empty longer than normal. Nationally, new apartments had

By contrast, new units opening in the first quarter of 2015 had a 72% vacancy rate that declined to 18% over a similar period. The higher vacancies were driven by luxury buildings in central business districts, CoStar Chief Economist Hans Nordby says.

“These new flashy, splashy downtown buildings — they have a vacancy problem,” Nordby says. “They are too expensive to rent” and there are too many of them. At the same time, he says, “There’s not much supply of new apartments in the suburbs.” As a result, since 2012, average rents have risen 12.3% in downtowns and 18% for midlevel suburban apartments, CoStar says.

AUSTIN To reach the theaters at one Alamo Drafthouse Cinema here, moviegoers walk through a colorful, funhouse-like door frame. The walls are lined with vintage horror movie posters, and screen offerings range from blockbusters such as Star Trek Beyond and Jason Bourne to Swiss Army Man, an off-the-wall independent film starring a corpse. The menu includes pancetta mac & cheese and a Maker’s Mark Milk Punch Shake. Not exactly your average neighborhood multiplex. Despite the booming popularity of online streaming and home theaters, going out to the movies remains a robust industry, and Alamo Drafthouse is riding the wave. Last year, moviegoers in the U.S. and Canada spent a record $11.1 billion at the box office, up 8% from 2014, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. So far this year they’ve spent $7 billion, on track to surpass last year’s total. Theaters that offer a twist on the traditional night-at-themovies experience are part of a

The number of cinemas serving food and drinks in theaters is relatively small — less than 700 out of 5,700 theaters nationwide, he said. But it’s one of the fastestgrowing segments of the industry. “One of the keys for the industry is targeting your particular theater and location to the audi-

ence you have there,” Corcoran said. That concept “is being picked up faster and faster now.” Using an eclectic film lineup and in-theater dining, Alamo Drafthouse has grown to 25 theaters across the U.S. with $170 million in annual sales. The company’s latest theater-restaurant opens this month in New York City’s Brooklyn borough, and there are nine more theaters on the way in Arizona, California, Texas, Virginia and Missouri. Other theater chains such as Movie Tavern and Studio Movie Grill have thrived in the movieand-dinner concept, said Daniel

Loria, editorial director at Boxoffice Media. But for the past six years or so, Alamo Drafthouse has risen as one of the most recognizable of the chains, he said. “Cinema dining has really exploded in the U.S. the past few years,” Loria said. “The Alamo Drafthouse is one of the household names that has been able to brand itself. It’s really caught on.” Alamo opened in 1997 with a single-screen theater in Austin, said Tim League, founder and chief executive. On its first day, the theater screened a double feature of Raising Arizona and Spinal Tap to a packed house. On its second day, just three people showed up. “I was immediately hit with the idea that this might be a disaster,” League said. But League and wife Karrie persevered, serving up curated film selections, beer and food and gained a loyal following. More theaters opened, in Texas and across the U.S. In 2010, the company launched Drafthouse Films, distributing mostly foreign films and documentaries, which it screens in its theaters. The goal is to draw patrons to his theaters with Star Trek and other blockbusters and have them consider more offbeat films, League said. “We make most of our money from blockbusters, “ League said. “But we’re able to market some interesting, strange, smaller films for customers who are coming for the big tent movies.”

So far, 80% of sub-industries in the Standard & Poor’s 1500 are trading above their average levels over the past 10 weeks, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. That is 20 percentage points better than all the periods since 1995, Stovall says. This statistic is

Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

telling because it shows this bull isn’t just about a single industry or sector, like some other bull markets in the past. Seeing healthy breadth is important in a bull since it shows most areas of the market are participating. When a market becomes overly reliant on monster-sized gains in just a few industries, that can foretell problems when the momentum in that one darling sector peters out. During the past 20 years, when all but 5% of industry groups were trading above their 10-week moving averages, the S&P 1500 posted average subsequent price increases of 1.9%, 2.5% and 3.3% in the following three, six and nine weeks, respectively. Those gains during periods of broad industry participation top the average stock price increases during all same three, six and nine-week periods of 0.5%, 0.9% and 1.4%.

Nissan escalates pickup truck wars with ‘best truck warranty’ Kimiya Manoochehri USA TODAY

In the hyper-competitive pickup truck wars, Nissan has a new weapon — a longer warranty. The Japanese automaker announced what it thinks will be “America’s Best Truck Warranty” Friday for its 2017 Titan and Titan XD full-size pickups. The warranty covers five years or 100,000 miles and is part of Nissan’s “Year of the Truck” initiative, which is supposed to herald an onslaught of new pickups,

The Titan is currently the lowest-selling full-size truck. SUVs and crossovers. All Titan and Titan XD V-8 gaspowered models as well as diesel and V-8 gas-powered 2017 Titan

NISSAN

XD models will be covered by the new warranty. The 2017 Titans and Titan XDs will begin arriving at Nissan dealerships nationwide

this month. Titan needs the help that the warranty can provide. Titan is the lowest-selling major full-size pickup among major makers. It was outsold by the Toyota Tundra, the next closest competitor, by a 10-to-1 margin last month, Autodata figures show. The warranty announcement came alongside the release of U.S. pricing for 2017 Titans, starting with the most affordable Titan Crew Cab S 4x2, which is listed at $34,780. The list steepens from there, with models such as the Titan SV Crew Cab 4x4 coming in

at a pricier $40,700 and the Titan Platinum Reserve Crew Cab 4x4 topping the list at $55,400. Nissan has played the warranty card before. In June 2014, it initiated “America’s Best Commercial Van Warranty,” which was intended to demonstrate the company’s confidence in its light commercial vehicle lineup. The automaker hopes the same confidence will boost demand for their expanding line of trucks. “We think that extending the same coverage to our full-size pickups ... is a game changer,” Nissan’s Fred Diaz said.

Amy Schumer spells it out in her ‘Lower Back Tattoo’ Andrea Mandell

@andreamandell USA TODAY

Amy Schumer went from stand-up comic with her zeitgeist-y Comedy Central show, Inside Amy Schumer, to movie star last year, thanks to her autobiographical comedy, Trainwreck. She played a promiscuous magazine writer who falls for her interview subject (Bill Hader). Directed by Judd Apatow, the movie grossed $110 million — and suddenly, Schumer was everywhere, including the cover of Vogue. Cue a multimilliondollar book deal. The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo (Gallery Books) is a funny, highly revealing recollection of memories, relationship rehashes and career experiences. USA TODAY caught up with the comedian on the Hawaii set of her untitled action-comedy with Goldie Hawn, due May 2017. I enjoyed the notated journal entries you included from your childhood. Do you still keep journals? No. I stopped when I was like 22 or 23. I don’t know why. I don’t think it was a conscious decision, I just stopped.

and for her, but we’ll never be how we were. My heart broke for you reading about the night your boyfriend took your virginity without asking when you were a teenager. That’s the thing with reading those journals. I really do experience it like, “Oh, that poor girl.” I felt bad for her. I don’t know if it’s because it’s too painful, but I do kind of remove myself from it. I feel like people are as into your love life as they are The Bachelor. That is an overstatement and you know that! OK, maybe. But you can’t dispute how viral your love life has gone. You talk about meeting your boyfriend, Ben Hanisch, in the book. Did you have fears about including him? Yeah, for sure. I’m 35; I’ve never been married. My parents have both been married three times, so I no longer believe in the fairy tale. In my mind it’s so great, whatever, but statistically I can’t shake the facts. I’m a romantic person but I’m a realist. So I’m not like, “We did it! Now we’re going to be together forever!” I think there’s a chance we’ll be together for a long time — or not. Sometimes I’m like, “Yeah we’re going to be together!” And sometimes I’m like, “This is doomed.”

Comedy Central says show ‘hasn’t seemed to connect’ Gary Levin @garymlevin USA TODAY

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart spawned new shows for correspondents Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Samantha Bee, now on rival networks. But Larry Wilmore’s Comedy Central’s spinoff, The Nightly Show, is ending Thursday after a disappointing 19-month run. The show, a mixture of topical segments, a panel discussion and games (“Keep it 100”), just never caught on with viewers, says Comedy Central president Kent Alterman, despite heightened interest in the unprecedented presidential election and Wilmore’s hosting the White House Correspondents Dinner in April. “Even as the show has evolved creatively ... it hasn’t seemed to connect with our audience, which is disconcerting and disappoint-

Comedy Central has canceled The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore after 19 months.

ing to us,” Alterman says. With decisions looming on thirdseason contract renewals, “when we took a hard look — especially after the conventions, where we also didn’t see any traction we were hoping for — we didn’t have enough evidence to justify committing to another year.”

In the second quarter of this year, Nightly Show averaged 738,000 viewers, including sevenday delayed viewing, vs. 1.35 million for Daily Show. Chris Hardwick’s @midnight, which has a larger audience, will shift to Wilmore’s 11:30 ET/PT slot for the next several months. Comedy is “actively developing” a replacement series for next spring, though the network isn’t wedded to a specific format. Wilmore, in a statement, said: “I’m really grateful to Comedy Central, Jon Stewart, and our fans to have had this opportunity. But I’m also saddened and surprised we won’t be covering this crazy election or “The Unblackening,” as we’ve coined it. And keeping it 100, I guess I hadn’t counted on “The Unblackening” happening to my time slot as well.” Nightly premiered in January 2015 as a replacement for The Colbert Report, after Colbert quit to replace David Letterman on CBS. A month later, Stewart announced plans to leave The Daily Show, but Alterman says Stewart’s exit last August wasn’t a factor in Nightly’s demise. The cancellation also raises

questions about Stewart’s replacement, Trevor Noah, who has been eclipsed in the cultural conversation, and especially by critics, in favor of Oliver’s HBO series, Last Week Tonight, and Bee’s TBS show, Full Frontal, both of which air weekly. But Alterman says Comedy Central is “fully committed” to Noah, citing improvement of his hosting skills, increased online viewing and his large social-media footprint. Comedy Central claims Daily is the top-rated late-night show among a narrow audience segment of men ages 18 to 34, although at his peak Stewart was No. 1 among all 18- to 49-yearolds. “When we hired Trevor we didn’t hire him for his experience” — he had none — “we hired him for his talent, which is enormous.” He asserted that in recent months, Noah has “a new plateau of confidence, and he’s taken ownership of the show and exudes a strong point of view and voice.” Despite a political bounce that has sharply boosted ratings for cable-news networks, Noah’s Daily Show is averaging less than half the same-day audience Stewart had last year.

Beating the back-to-school

JITTERS BY JOANNA HLAVACEK • jhlavacek@ljworld.com

or some students, the arrival of a new school year holds the kind of hope and promise associated with turning over a new leaf. For others, it’s an occasion marked with dread, anxiety and sometimes fear. Back-to-school jitters are common among kids of all ages, explains Janice Storey, director of children and family services at Lawrence’s Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. In fact, most experience it on some level when returning to school, oftentimes juggling worries alongside excitement, she says. Here, Storey shares some tips for parents (professional credentials aside, she’s also the proud mother of a recent college graduate) on guiding kids through back-to-school nerves.

Why so anxious? “Summer’s been unstructured, and now they’re going back to a pretty regimented schedule,” Storey says. “Getting back into a routine, for some kids, particularly if they have a high level of anxiety or other mental health problems, can be an abrupt start to school.” The upheaval can be especially challenging for children with learning or behavioral disorders, though kids without these diagnoses aren’t immune. Commonly shared anxieties range from academic to social: Will I like my new teacher? Will I be able to keep up with my assignments? Am I wearing the right clothes? Who will I sit next to at lunch? Will I fit in?

reasons behind their stress. That stress can manifest itself physically in headaches, upset tummies, fatigue and other red flags, says Storey. “With kids, it’s getting to know, where is it bothering them? What is their body telling them?” she explains. In these cases, parents may have to do a little detective work. Sit down with your child, Storey suggests, and remind them that you were also a kid once. Then, ask them to walk you through their day — simply going over routines, coursework and other basics may help to identify what’s really bothering your child. No matter the age of the child, avoid an accusatory tone — you don’t want the talk to come

across as a lecture, Storey says. Instead, keep an open mind and use open-ended questions that inspire open answers.

Next steps If your child’s anxiety persists (after discussing the issue with you, the parent) more than a week or two into the school year, it may be time to seek professional help. A good starting point is your school’s counselor, Storey suggests. Parents, of course, aren’t without their own anxieties. It’s important to safeguard your own mental health when caring for a child’s. “As a parent who had to go through that with my child, sometimes it’s watching but not necessarily verbalizing

every concern I have, because I may be giving her concerns that she hadn’t thought of,” Storey says. To that end, Storey recommends finding a community of parents to lend a ear — chances are, they’re going through similar experiences. Look for support at school open houses.

Volunteer at PTA groups or your child’s extracurricular activities. Sometimes, all it takes to build a relationship is sitting next to other parents at the football game, she says. — K-12 education reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388. Follow her on Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Dear Annie: I apparently failed as a parent at teaching my daughter financial responsibility. I raised her as a single parent and worked hard to provide for us. After a few difficult years when she was young, I achieved a fair degree of financial success as a professional. I must have made her think money grows on trees (or comes out on demand from ATMs). I was generous in helping her through college and graduate school and helping her buy her first house. Despite her master’s degree, she makes very little money and struggles financially. I recently inherited some money from my mother and told her I would

KU energized by addition of Alabama transfers By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS OFFENSIVE LINEMAN CHARLES BALDWIN (72), a transfer from Alabama, stretches during practice on Monday at Memorial Stadium.

The number of Jayhawks practicing at Kansas football preseason camp only grew by one Monday morning at Memorial Stadium, but given the size of new offensive lineman Charles Baldwin, the roster felt significantly altered for the better. “He’s going through his acclimation period right now,” KU coach David Beaty said shortly after Baldwin’s first practice with the team. “Man, I’m glad to have him here. What a great kid.” Listed at 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds, the five-star offensive tackle was ranked by

Rivals as the No. 2 overall junior college player in the Class of 2016 and committed last year to play at storied Alabama. However, Nick Saban dismissed Baldwin for an unspecified “violation of team rules” in May, after Baldwin participated in the

Crimson Tide’s spring activities. Beaty said KU’s staff did its research on Baldwin, a Windsor, Conn. native, the same as the coaches would for any player before inviting him to join the team. Offensive line coach Zach Yenser, who helped with that vetting, labeled Baldwin a “good dude” with immense upside. “I promised my guys when I got here — I promised my offensive linemen — I wasn’t going to bring in bad guys,” Yenser said. “I don’t give a crap how good you are. I don’t want to be around jerks. So

Field in focus for QB Willis At times during his freshman season, Ryan Willis took such vicious hits it became so difficult to watch live that the stomach couldn’t handle watching the replay. Yet, Willis, a sophomore, said he never grows tired of watching football film. “The more live reps you see, the better you feel,” Willis said. “It’s all about reps and experience and it’s all about film study. Once you get in that room, you know what they (defenses) are doing. You start breaking it down and you learn what works and what Willis doesn’t.” It’s homework, but not of the tedious variety, he insisted. “I love it,” he said “It’s watching football on TV, basically. I always joke whenever I’m watching an NFL game with my parents. I’m like, ‘Oh, Cover 2.’ I don’t watch the ball anymore. I’m looking at the defense. Your eyes get trained to it. It’s weird.” Willis puts himself behind center and studies the field while watching TV, as opposed to most of the rest of us ball-watchers. “You’ve got to,” he said. “It’s part of the job. It’s 24/7 every day of the year.” Second-year Kansas head coach David Beaty has not said yet whether Willis or Montell Cozart will start when the Jayhawks open their season Sept. 4 at Memorial Stadium, but the tea leaves whisper that Willis has the edge. Cozart suffered a season-ending injury in the fourth game last season. He threw an interception every 105 throws and a touchdown pass every 52.5 passes. Willis threw an interception every 31.5 throws, a touchdown every 35 passes. Willis makes more accurate medium and long throws. Cozart, beloved by Sims > KEEGAN, 3D

Free State, Lawrence High teams open fall practices By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

The Lawrence High football team took its first official step toward the start of the season Monday, about a month after participating in a weeklong team camp. Monday marked the first day of practice for fall sports, and the Lions opened with two practices — one session in the morning and one in the afternoon. Football teams, per Kansas High School Activity Association regulations, were only allowed to practice in helmets Monday. Typically, the Lions operated their team camp at the beginning of the summer. This year, they waited until

“We’ve got a lot of our offense — we just have a lot of stuff in,” Lawrence coach Dirk Wedd. “With all of the stuff we did in June too, and then the July thing was really

good. I’m pretty happy with where we’re at.” For the first time in Wedd’s career, the Lions — who have about 95 players in the program — implemented a platoon for offensive and defensive players. In a platoon, usually no player starts on both offense and defense, helping increase the number of repetitions at a position in practice. The system also eliminates the need for scout teams, giving the first-team offense and first-team defense a chance to square up against each other.

Jayhawks extend offer to on-the-rise power forward By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas men’s basketball team took a step toward rounding out its 2017 recruiting class this week, when it extended an offer to three-star power forward Jericho Sims of Cristo

Rey Jesuit High in Minneapolis. Sims, who stands 6-foot8, 190 pounds, appears to be a player on the rise. Eric Bossi of Rivals.com indicated Monday that Sims likely would soon be classified as a four-star prospect after a strong summer.

Deemed by Bossi as an “NBA level athlete,” Sims currently is ranked in the Rivals150 at No. 146. That, too, could change in the coming weeks. According to Bossi, Sims, “is improving rapidly and is a plus rebounder in and out of his area. He has outstanding

hands, good touch and great feet. Lots to work with.” Outside of No. 1 overall prospect DeAndre Ayton, a 7-footer, much of KU’s early focus in the 2017 class has been on elite-level guards. But with Bill Self and

It was 6:03 a.m. Monday, show time for Evan Roberts and Joe Benigno, the most sports meat-and-potatoes duo on New York’s WFAN schedule. What would they lead with after a busy weekend? A-Rod’s departure? A-Judge’s arrival? Steven Matz’s near no-hitter? Preseason football? Nope. It was Olympic men’s basketball and Team USA’s lack of dominance. Still, that’s basketball. But soon they were veering off onto Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps and, finally, women’s doubles table tennis. Seriously. None of which is to say the Games suddenly are a hot topic on talk radio. Soon enough, it was on to customary subjects, more deGrom than de Janeiro. There was something in the open-minded tone of the Rio talk that was telling, though. In recent years, many sports fans and media members have taken a perverse pride in advertising a lack of interest in the Games, dismissing them as an overly packaged reality show for non-avid fans, full of strange sports from strange lands. Many avid fans seem to be coming around to a broader view of the Games, especially in a fractured era in which, really, everything in sports other than the NFL — and LeBron James in Game 7 of the NBA Finals — is a niche attraction. In olden times, when we Baby Boomers were young, any televised event was a source of fascination, so every minute of Olympics coverage was precious. (OK, I admit it: I miss Vasily Alekseyev.) But as the millennium turned and access to mainstream American sports vastly expanded, we had less time or patience than we used to for Greco-Roman wrestling, weightlifting and cycling. Now we seem to be coming out the other side, where the occasional men’s field hockey game is a welcome break from watching baseball players strike out at record pace or studying for fantasy football drafts. Are some aspects of the Olympics still tough sells for traditional sports fans? Absolutely. Tape-delayed events? Blech. Subjectively scored sports? Meh. Jingoistic announcers? Eye-roll. Also, there is no denying or ignoring the dark side of the Games, including corrupt organizers, irresponsible public spending, performanceenhancing drugs, famous swimmers being robbed at gunpoint, and more. So, yes, diving into diving and other Olympic sports requires suspension of disbelief, much as NFL fans must compartmentalize their enjoyment of the game compared to what it does to participants’ bodies and minds. But in the broad arc of the human parade, the Olympics remain a quirky lark that even avid fans ought to embrace every couple of years from the comfort of our living rooms, aided by NBC’s (heavy) guiding hand. The ratings have been down from London four years ago, but compared to everything else on American TV other than the NFL playoffs, the Olympics are a massive, spectacular, undeniable hit. Some of those numbers are driven by people who like gymnastics far more than NFL preseason games. But they are supplemented by millions of mainstream fans who cannot resist the irresistible likes of Bolt, Phelps and Katie Ledecky.

BAHAMAS’ SHAUNAE MILLER, LEFT, FALLS OVER THE FINISH LINE to win the gold ahead of the United States’ Allyson Felix in the women’s 400 meters Monday night in Rio de Janeiro.

Americans denied gold Rio de Janeiro (ap) — The Americans were denied a gold medal Monday for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and it took two big stumbles to keep the “Star Spangled Banner” on pause. One of the slips cost U.S. gymnastics star Simone Biles gold on the balance beam. The other secured Shaunae Miller’s win in the women’s 400 meters over Allyson Felix, the U.S. star who missed out on her fifth Olympic gold medal. Miller, of the Bahamas, crossed .07 seconds ahead of Felix thanks to a head-first dive that came after a downpour forced a delay in the evening events and sent spectators scurrying for shelter at Olympic Stadium. Biles lost her status as Rio de Janeiro’s juggernaut after a blunder on the balance beam prevented her from a recordtying fourth gold in gymnastics at these games. The American’s shutout came on a day the Rio Games were dogged by rain, wind and fire. In the morning, there was too little wind, then too much, at the sailing regatta on Guanabara Bay, where men’s and women’s medal races were postponed until Tuesday. In the afternoon, smoke and ash from a wind-whipped wildfire billowed over the field hockey stadium in Deodoro. Boxing may have to weather another storm of its own after a surprising decision in the men’s heavyweight gold medal fight, where boos cascaded down from the crowd when Evgeny Tischenko, of Russia, was announced as the unanimous winner over Vassiliy Levit, of Kazakhstan, who looked like the winner. Biles’ blunder allowed Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands to take the gold medal and Laurie Hernandez of the U.S. to slip past Biles for the silver. It also ended Biles’ bid to become the first female gymnast to win five golds in a single Olympics. Already a three-time gold medalist (all-around, team and vault) when she walked onto

A fresh round of troubles tormented South America’s first Olympics on Monday: n The German Olympic team said canoe slalom coach Stefan Henze died from injuries sustained in a car crash last week. n The Egyptian judo athlete who refused to shake his Israeli opponent’s hand after losing a first-round heavyweight fight was sent home. n The Olympic Broadcasting Service said seven bystanders sustained minor injuries when a television camera it operates plummeted about 30 feet in the Olympic park. n South Korean cyclist Park Sang-hoon was taken from the velodrome on a stretcher with his neck immobilized after a crash multi-discipline omnium competition . n And Usain Bolt, the co-

star of these games along with Michael Phelps, said that a tight schedule slowed down the sprinters in the 100 meters Sunday. Bolt blamed the hour turnaround from the semifinals to the finals for his lumbering start before he recovered to win his third consecutive gold medal and retain the title as the world’s fastest man. “I don’t know who decided that,” Bolt said. “It was really stupid. So, that’s why the race was slow.”

TE Johnson gives offense a lift in practice they both graduated from Garland High, in the KU coach’s home state of Texas. “He’s playing just about every position except for center right now,” Beaty said of the 6-foot-4 newcomer, “which is incredible for a freshman.” Of late, Adeniji has even played with KU’s first string at practices. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young guy that has as good a technique as he has at his age,” Beaty marveled. “And he’s not the biggest dude yet, but he’s getting there. You look at him you might think he’s a 300-pounder but he only weights about 268, 270 pounds. He’s really not that big, but he is strong.”

One play into the Kansas football team’s 12th preseason practice, junior tight end Ben Johnson became the offense’s Monday morning hero at Memorial Stadium. On the first play called by head coach David Beaty, red-shirt quarterback Carter Stanley dropped back to pass, and spotted Johnson working his way through the secondary at the back of the south end zone. When Johnson, a 6-foot-5 junior from Basehor, hauled in the throw and kept his feet in bounds for a touchdown, every KU offensive player sprinted after him to celebrate. You see, just before the tight end opened the session with a bang, Beaty dictated the opening series would determine how the practice would end. If the offense scored or the defense got a stop, the losing side w o u l d have to carry the Johnson winners off the field to cap the morning.

Kansas head football coach David Beaty’s media policy makes freshmen off-limits for interviews, but that didn’t keep teammates and Beaty himself from talking about running back Khalil Herbert during Monday’s media session. Clearly, Herbert has made a strong first impression. “I saw him make some really good cuts, stuff that a typical freshman can’t really do,” tight end Ben Johnson said of Herbert’s performance in a Saturday scrimmage in which the South Florida native carried the ball three times for 93 yards and a touchdown. “That kind of stood out to me and I was pretty impressed. He’s just a natural ballplayer. There are things you can coach and things you can’t coach. He’s kind

of one of those guys who just has natural instincts.” Quarterback Ryan Willis shared what it does for him to see that sort of an effort from a freshman: “It fires me up. ... The key to this offense is getting it to our playmakers. Our playmakers right now are our running backs.” Texas A & M transfer LaQuvionte Gonzalez is the top Herbert playmaker at wide receiver and his face lit up Monday at the mention of Herbert’s name. “I love that kid,” Gonzalez said. “I mean, he can really run the ball. I like that kid. He’s got pretty soft hands. He can catch like a receiver. He’s an all-purpose back. He can do everything.”

I’m not going to bring one in. Charles fits our room great … I’m going to recruit high-character kids that are tough as football players.” Like the other Alabama transfer on the roster, sophomore receiver Daylon Charlot, Baldwin will sit out this season, per NCAA transfer guidelines. Still, Beaty expects to find ways to make sure both have an impact at practices. “Obviously, we’ll use those guys in a number of different ways to prepare our offense and defense, because they can’t play this year,” the coach said, adding the staff also aims to engage Baldwin and Charlot, “both talented guys,” in the weeks and months ahead, in order to properly prepare them for KU’s 2017 season. Admittedly, Beaty fell in love with Baldwin’s size and what it could mean for the offense in the future. Referencing Baldwin’s recruiting ranking, Beaty said his mom could take one look at the burly lineman and immediately understand he was a highly sought after recruit.

We’re only going to be as good the guys up front.” On paper, the O-line looks like KU’s shakiest position because of its huge age and experience deficit compared to most teams. Cozart and Willis are competing for a very difficult job.

of throwing defenders off his trail on various routes. His feet, eyes and hands all looked in mid-season form as he came down with a difficult catch, in traffic. “I was in. One hundred percent,” Johnson said of the challenging TD reception. “I just thought — I think it was Tevin (Shaw, senior safety) — I thought it was gonna hit him in the helmet.”

Jayhawks rave about RB By Tom Keegan

O-line depth KU offensive line coach Zach Yenser predicts he’ll have a pretty good idea of his starting five by the end of this week. As of now, Adeniji has played a lot of right tackle, alongside sophomore right guard Jacob Bragg. Junior Joe Gibson looks like KU’s starting center, while senior left tackle D’Andre Banks and junior left guard Jayson Rhodes, like Adeniji, graded out the best in KU’s big evaluation scrimmage over the weekend.

Fan-friendly dates coming up Kansas football’s annual Fan Appreciation Day is slated for 10 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium, where the Jayhawks will have their 18th August practice. Following the session, expected to last approximately two hours, players will sign autographs from roughly noon to 1 p.m. The following Friday, Aug. 26, Beaty and KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger will travel to Prairie Village’s Corinth Square for an appearance at a season kickoff pep rally, slated to start at 6 p.m.

KANSAS RECEIVER DAYLON CHARLOT STRETCHES at the start of practice Monday at Memorial Stadium. “He’s a good-looking dude if you haven’t seen him yet,” Beaty said. “… But, man, I’ve been fooled by great looking before. I want to see what he can do. He’s got a great skill set.” The Jayhawks will have to wait another year to find out just what the additions of Baldwin and Charlot (a 6-foot, fourstar receiver whom Rivals ranked 78th nationally in the Class of 2015) mean for the team. Still, as of this moment, sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis said their presence alone has him and teammates fired up.

Herbert, a 5-foot-9, 195-pound burner, comes to Kansas from American Heritage High in Plantation, Fla., where he played for former NFL defensive back Mike Rumph, now cornerbacks coach for University of Miami. As did Gonzalez, Beaty gave Herbert points for more than his ability to run the football. “He’s a dominant guy,” Beaty said. “He’s fast. He actually pass-blocks pretty good. Smart kid. Great kid. He showed some real burst on Saturday. Avoided some tackles, avoided a tackle in the backfield and took it for a long run, something I haven’t seen in a while.” Beaty also praised the work of first-string senior back Ke’aun Kinner, sophomore sprinter Taylor Martin and the shortyardage contributions of Arkansas transfer Denzell Evans. “It just gives everyone hope that the program’s going the right way,” Willis explained. “The future’s really bright. We’ve got a lot of young guys who are going to be big contributors, so the future’s bright for our team.” Willis already has worked enough with Charlot to appreciate what the talented receiver could potentially add to the offense. “He’s a great athlete. He’s very good in his routes, can get off the ball, doesn’t get pressed much,” the sophomore quarterback shared. “When you can create separation that makes it a lot easier on the quarterback. We really like that.” Though Baldwin never played in a game at Alabama and Charlot, as a true freshman, only appeared in five contests for the defending national champions, Beaty is glad to have both on board, because they have experienced the ins and outs of an elite program and learned first-hand what it takes to compete at that level. “They know what it’s like,” Beaty said, “and I urge those guys to speak up and make sure they talk to our guys about perspective, about what winning looks like.”

Yenser said freshman lineman Mesa Ribordy is competing as a backup at both right guard and center. Kansas also has experienced starters vying for playing time on the offensive line, with senior Jordan Shelley-Smith and sophomores Larry Hughes and Clyde McCauley III. Said Beaty: “We are toying with a lot of different things interiorly, just to make sure we get the best five on the field. And not just pigeonholing ourselves because, hey, he’s a tackle.”

It didn’t. And KU junior defensive end Kellen Ash had to carry Johnson off the field a couple hours later.

Freshman Adeniji impresses on O-line Beaty knows what you’re thinking. But, no, he wasn’t bringing up the play of freshman offensive lineman Hakeem Adeniji Monday after practice just because

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Ortiz powers BoSox past Cleveland, 3-2 The Associated Press

American League Red Sox 3, Indians 2 Cleveland — David Ortiz hit a go-ahead, tworun homer in a three-run sixth inning, and Boston defeated Cleveland on Monday to extend its winning streak to four. Ortiz’s 27th home run of the season, the 530th of his big-league career, overcame a 1-0 deficit. Ortiz homered in all three games the Red Sox played in Cleveland this season. One out later, Jackie Bradley Jr. also homered off Josh Tomlin (11-6), who has given up a major league-leading 29 home runs this season. “I always love hitting in this park,” Ortiz said. “Who doesn’t? It’s a really good hitting ballpark.” Drew Pomeranz (1-2) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings to win for the first time since he was acquired from San Diego on July 14. He had been 0-2 in five starts for the Red Sox. Selected by Cleveland with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, Pomeranz gave up Rajai Davis’ leadoff homer in the fourth and RBI double in the eighth. Francisco Lindor doubled against Craig Kimbrel leading off the ninth and Mike Napoli walked. Carlos Santana and pinch-hitter Jason Kipnis struck out, and Abraham Almonte hit a drive to right that hooked foul before he popped out. Kimbrel got his 20th save in 22 chances. Tomlin (11-6) lost his third straight outing and for the fifth time in seven decisions after a 9-1 start, allowing three runs and seven hits in 7 2/3 innings. AL Central-leading Cleveland had won its previous four games. The game was a makeup of an April 7 postponement caused by snow and cold. Ortiz also homered on April 5 and 6.

Yankees 1, Blue Jays 0 New York — Chad Green struck out 11 in six dominant innings, Aaron Judge delivered again with an RBI double, and Dellin Betances escaped a big ninth-inning jam. Betances got major league RBI leader Edwin Encarnacion to ground into a game-ending, around-the-horn double play with runners at the corners. The Yankees won for the fifth time in six games, taking the first 1-0 decision between the teams since 2005. They dropped Toronto percentage points out of first place in the AL East and pulled within 5 1/2 games of new division leader Baltimore. Promoted earlier in the day from Triple-A for his fifth stint of the season with the Yankees, Green (2-2) was in complete control. He gave up two hits, walked none and outpitched R.A. Dickey (8-13).

Royals’ Kennedy ends drought Detroit (ap) — Ian Kennedy pitched effectively into the seventh inning to win for the first since June 26 as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-1, on Monday night. The Tigers lost slugger Miguel Cabrera after four innings to a strained left biceps. Cabrera appeared to injure himself in a first-inning collision with Cheslor Cuthbert at first base, but batted twice before leaving the game. Detroit said Cabrera is day to day. Kennedy (7-9) ended an eight-start winless streak, allowing one run on five hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings. Three relievers finished, with Kelvin Herrera pitching the ninth for his fifth save. Daniel Norris (1-1) took the loss, allowing two runs — one earned — in 5 1/3 innings. He gave up six hits and walked four while striking out one. He also made the error that led to the unearned run. Paulo Orlando started the game with a fourpitch walk, then went to third when Norris threw away Cuthbert’s infield single, leading to the collision with Cabrera as he reached for the ball. With one out, Eric Hosmer hit a line drive to deep leftcenter, and though Tyler Collins ran it down, Orlando scored easily on the sacrifice fly. The Royals nearly expanded the lead in the fifth, putting runners on second and third with two outs, but second baseman Ian Kinsler made a diving stop of Kendrys Morales’
