LAWRENCE VIRTUAL SCHOOL SIXTH- THROUGH EIGHTH-GRADE TEACHERS POSE as Amy Mispagel, also a Virtual School teacher, shoots a group photo on Monday at the school, 1104 East 1000 Road, south of Lawrence. In addition to the group photos, educators for the school, who come from all over the state, were present Monday for training exercises with regard for the curriculum and also communication exercises to assist students in ways other than in-person communication. The school recently was granted NCAA accreditation, the first such school in the state to earn the designation.

Lawrence Virtual School becomes first in state to gain NCAA accreditation By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence Virtual School has been granted NCAA accreditation, making it the only NCAA accredited virtual school in the state of Kansas and one of only a few in the Midwest. The accreditation, while most directly benefiting student-athletes, has much broader implications about the level of education offered to students through LVS, said Keith Wilson, the school’s principal. “It definitely sends a message to everybody that this school is the quality we are looking for and that we expect,” said Wilson, who

“

What Lawrence Virtual School offers is great flexibility for our families, but it doesn’t provide freedom from responsibility and accountability.” — Keith Wilson, the principal of Lawrence Virtual School learned about the accreditation late last week. The comprehensive review, which took a year and a half, involved review of the school curriculum, student expectations and the level of teacher involvement, Wilson said. “It’s a great compliment to the work that the staff and the district are doing,” Wilson said, noting that it is the same review a brick-andmortar school would undergo. “It involved thousands of

pages of documents that exemplify what we do and how we do it.” The Lawrence school district took over full control of all grades of the virtual school in early 2014, marking this school year as the second year in which district employees will teach all courses at the school. The change stemmed in part from concerns over low graduation rates from Lawrence Virtual High School, which was previously

under the management of a for-profit company. One of the key components involved in the NCAA accreditation was verifying that LVS has a process for monitoring student progress, Wilson said. Students in LVS have regular due dates, quizzes and tests, and much of their work is graded by their teachers. “What Lawrence Virtual School offers is great flexibility for our families, but it doesn’t provide freedom from responsibility and accountability,” Wilson said. Another component reviewed for the NCAA accreditation was teacher engagement, to ensure that the student is not learning in isolation, Wilson said.

A group of state university faculty members says Art Hall is not one of them but rather an administrator, so — at least at Kansas University — he’s not entitled to academic freedom to hide his emails. The Kansas Conference of the American Association of University Professors states its position in an amicus brief in the case of Art Hall v. the University of Kansas. Hall is a lecturer and director of the Center for Applied Economics in the KU School

of Business. He previously was chief economist for the Public Sector Group of Koch Industries Inc. “There are some ranks of administrators Hall who hold no academic status, are neither tenured nor tenuretrack faculty, and have neither been nor are ever expected to be vetted by academic peers,” the Kansas AAUP’s brief says. “...it is abundantly clear that he (Hall) is an administrator and not a rank-and-file faculty member.”

After a KU student organization called Students for a Sustainable Future and its president, Schuyler Kraus, filed an Barrett-Gonzalez open records request for Hall’s email correspondence, among other documents, Hall sued KU in late 2014 to temporarily block the university from releasing the records. It’s now up to the court to decide whether the records should be public. The case is set for trial in November.

Group says KU lecturer not entitled to academic freedom By Sara Shepherd

During his 2013 campaign for the Lawrence City Commission, Jeremy Farmer failed to disclose that officials in Arkansas were taking legal action against him to pay nearly $2,200 in past due income taxes. Court records from Garland County, Ark., show the state filed a tax lien against Farmer and his now ex-wife in March of 2012, which was about 10 months before Farmer Farmer filed for a seat on the Lawrence City Commission. The records show the $2,190.20 tax lien wasn’t paid off until March 18, 2013, which was just weeks before voters elected him to one of five seats on the Lawrence City Commission.

In higher education, the American Association of University Professors is generally considered the last word on academic freedom. In short, the association’s stance is that teachers must remain free to discuss, teach and research in their respective subject areas free from institutional censorship. Ron Barrett-Gonzalez, KU aerospace engineering professor and immediate past president of the Kansas AUUP, said even though Hall does teach classes, he is different from faculty and Please see HALL, page 2A

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is proposing to pay the city $100,000 per year to be a “presenting sponsor” of Sports Pavilion Lawrence, the city-owned recreation center in the Rock Chalk Park complex, and to lease space in the facility where it can offer a variety of fitness, health and wellness programs. Those items are part of a lengthy CITY agenda for today’s COMMISSION City Commission meeting that will begin with the selection of a new mayor and discussion of how the commission plans to fill the vacant seat created by last week’s resignation of former Mayor Jeremy Farmer.

Cultural Plan to go before commission today By Joanna Hlavacek

“

The level and spirit of engagement in every aspect of this process was remarkable and rarely seen by the A team of city consultants is consultants.” Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

slated to present its final draft of Lawrence’s Cultural Plan — including the results of a survey that, among other things, found artistic activities are more important to Lawrencians’ quality of life than proximity to Kansas City or church life. The plan, which will be presented during today’s City Commission meeting, was funded through a grant from the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission and is the work of consultants Christine Harris, of the Milwaukee-based Christine

— Lawrence Cultural Plan draft Harris Connections, and Tom Borrup, of Creative Community Building in Minneapolis. Throughout the spring, the consultant team — overseen by a 15-member steering committee with involvement from the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission and other city officials — has hosted several meetings and workshops to gather infor-

mation from those working in creative fields as well as from the general public. Their findings helped create a publicly distributed survey that asked participants to evaluate assets and the current quality of cultural life in Lawrence. The questionnaire, which remained active from late May to mid-June, garnered nearly 500

responses — bringing the total number of planning-process participants up to 650. Participants consistently ranked arts and culture as important components of living in Lawrence, the findings reveal. The survey results also called for more opportunities for artists — funding, studio and housing space, financial investment, education and art incubators. “The level and spirit of engagement in every aspect of this process was remarkable and rarely seen by the consultants,” read the plan’s 41-page draft.

Man’s car allegedly set on fire over ‘dumpster beer’ I

’ve heard of trashcan punch, but dumpster beer? It must be pretty good stuff, because police say one man allegedly set another man’s car on fire over it. Around 7:45 p.m. Saturday, someone in the parking lot at Presto Convenience Store, 1030 N. Third St., ran inside the store to report seeing a man pour some kind of liquid on a car in the parking lot before setting it on fire, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said Monday. The owner of the burning 2007 Toyota Camry was working inside at the Subway restaurant attached to the Presto, took notice and ran outside to put the flames out with a fire extinguisher, McKinley said. Police were called, and officers found the suspect — identified as 55-year-old Bernard Jerome Ellis — nearby. Police then inter-

Wisinger was then arrested on suspicion of drug possession, obstruction, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of stolen property and the warrant, according to booking logs. This was one of those times when someone saw something that was unusual and called police, ultimately leading to an arrest.

Officials urged to let Westar raise rates By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — An agreement that would allow Kansas’ largest electric company to increase its rates about 4 percent is reasonable for customers while covering the cost of power plant upgrades, attorneys for the utility and other parties told state regulators Monday. The rate-setting Kansas Corporation Commission had a 90-minute hearing on the proposed deal struck by Westar Energy Inc. with the commission’s staff, a state consumer advocacy agency and some of the utility’s largest customers. The company’s annual rates would rise by $78 million — about half of what it wanted — and most households would see bills increase by between $5 and $7 a month. Attorneys representing the parties to the agreement said it was comprehensive and complicated and urged the three-member commission not to change any of its terms. State law gives the KCC until Oct. 28 to issue an order revising Westar’s rates, and several attorneys noted that the law encourages settlements, particularly agreements like Westar’s where no party formally objects. “This was frankly amazing, that all these parties were able to come to the table as they did,” said Commissioner Jay Emler, a former state Senate majority leader and attorney. “It’s very encouraging.”

Police to ramp up DUI enforcement over next 2 weeks By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Beginning Thursday, Lawrence police will be ramping up their efforts enforcing DUI laws for the next two weeks, according to a news release. Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said the Lawrence Police Department will be sending out more officers who will be specifically assigned to look for signs of drunken driving and those â&#x20AC;&#x153;operating vehicles in an unsafe fashionâ&#x20AC;? from Thursday through Sept. 7. The increased police presence funded by a Kansas Department of Transportation grant aimed at combating drunken driving, McKinley said. According to KDOT statistics, four people are injured every day and one person is killed every three days in vehicle crashes involving impaired drivers in Kansas. McKinley said nearly 150 other law enforcement agencies in Kansas will be taking part over the next two weeks in

School CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Students meet with their teachers and fellow classmates in online forums for live class discussions, as well as have regular phone calls and face-to-face meetings with their teachers, Wilson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the human element that drives this school, and the computer is secondary,â&#x20AC;? Wilson said, adding that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about learning in isolation; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning with guidance. LVS has 1,200 students in kindergarten through 12th grade from across the state, 100 of whom live in Douglas County. It has 45 Kansas-certified teachers on staff. Amy Moidl, a high school science teacher at LVS, also sees the NCAA accreditation as far reaching. Virtual school is a concept that not everyone is familiar with, and the accreditation indicates the level of engagement students and parents should expect, Moidl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a way we can show we are a serious program with rigor,â&#x20AC;? Moidl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just something students are doing at home in their pajamas with their parents grading their work.â&#x20AC;? The most direct effect for the NCAA accreditation is to allow students in virtual school to devote time to a sport or activity, such as swimming, gymnastics, ballet or acting, Wilson said. Those students make up approximately 10 percent of LVS students, and the NCAA accreditation ensures that they are eligible for NCAA-sponsored scholarships when it comes time to enroll in universities. But the majority of LVS students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about 60 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are what Wilson refers to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;educational managers,â&#x20AC;? whose parents have elected virtual school in part as a way to have more involvement in their

She said the virtual school also allows students to get more individual instruction from their teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of individual interaction between the teacher and the student â&#x20AC;&#x201D; phone, Web conferencing sessions, face-to-face meetings. We have a weekly contact plan,â&#x20AC;? Moidl said. These interactions allow Moidl to get to know both the student and parent better than she would in a brick-and-mortar school, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting to know the parents also allows me to have a broader picture of that student and their family life, which helps me figure out how to help them a little bit more,â&#x20AC;? Moidl said.

Sports Pavilion Lawrence was originally designed to include 6,000 square feet of additional space where the hospital planned to operate a wellness facility, but hospital officials later decided that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough space to accommodate their plans. The hospital is now proposing to lease 4,007 square feet at a base rate of $50,000 a year, for 10 years. The proposed lease would allow the city to raise that fee by 3 percent a year in the third, sixth and ninth years of the contract. Hospital spokeswoman Janice Early said LMH plans to move some of the programs it now offers at the hospital campus, including youth sports performance training as well as health and wellness programming, to the new recreation center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also looking at new classes we might develop in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But Katherine Simmons, who chairs the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission and attended each of the consultantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; public meetings and workshops, said the survey numbers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big shock to her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Considering all the participants who showed up for the public workshops and the level of engagement that we had in all the discussion forums, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised by the turnout,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was surprising were the demographics of responders being younger than they expected.â&#x20AC;? The highest percentage of survey respondents, at 22 percent, was between the ages of 25 and 34; that same age group represents just 17.1 percent of Lawrence overall. Respondents age 55 and up accounted for 37 percent

plans to use the remaining unfinished space to provide classes and programs, as well as meeting and hospitality space for the general public and tournaments, according to information from the city. Separate from the lease, the $50,000-a-year sponsorship contract would allow LMH to have a sign inside the facility, as well as two banners at each of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other three recreation centers: Holcom Park, East Lawrence and the Community Building. Those two proposals come at the same time city officials are touting the economic impact that Sports Pavilion Lawrence has had on the community, which they estimate at $4.4 million so far this year. That report, which will be part of interim City Manager Diane Stoddardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation, is based on an analysis by the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, using information from Parks and Recreation about participation and attendance at the 29 tournaments the facility has hosted since Dec. 27. Megan Gilliland, the city spokeswoman who is also interim director

Diversity request As the commission opens up its search to fill the vacancy left by Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation, the local branch of the NAACP is asking commissioners to take racial diversity into account. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawrence is a diverse community; however, there are no racial minorities on the policy making body for Lawrence,â&#x20AC;? Ursula Minor, president of the Lawrence Branch of the NAACP, wrote in a letter to the four remaining commissioners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commission cannot, indeed must not ig-

nore the fact that while whites make up 78 percent of the Lawrence population, whites comprise 100 percent of the commission,â&#x20AC;? the letter continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At-large voting does not contribute to a diverse commission â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can. Seize the opportunity.â&#x20AC;? According to U.S. Census Bureau figures, however, whites make up 82 percent of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population, which is slightly less than the statewide average of 83.8 percent. But Lawrence has a smaller proportion of black residents: 4.7 percent in the city, compared with 5.9 percent statewide. It also has a smaller proportion of Hispanic residents: 5.7 percent in the city, compared with 10.5 percent statewide. During the most recent City Commission elections, 14 candidates vied to fill three seats on the commission. All of the candidates who ran were white. The same was true in the 2013 election, when nine candidates ran for city office. The City Commission will meet at 5:45 p.m. today in City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

of the survey, compared with 8 percent of the city in general. Respondents were also more diverse from a race and gender standpoint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as more educated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; than the city as a whole. When asked what aspects of living in Lawrence are most important to them, the majority of respondents answered: arts, culture and creative activities, followed by downtown Lawrence and the community of people who live here. The top three arts, culture and heritage programs respondents said

they participated in were art museums/galleries, purchasing original arts or crafts, and art and music festivals. As for the first place respondents would take a friend or visitor for a cultural experience, the top answer was â&#x20AC;&#x153;overwhelminglyâ&#x20AC;? downtown Lawrence, followed by the Lawrence Arts Center and Massachusetts Street. As for the results, Simmons said they echoed what many in the arts community can attest to. The biggest obstacle to engaging in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arts and cultural offer-

ings, respondents said, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiple events at the same time.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive sign moving forward, Simmons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it says what everybody knew,â&#x20AC;? she said of that particular finding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lawrence is a highly artistic and creative community, and they value being a part of that cultural energy that makes up the community.â&#x20AC;? The city also recently completed an implementation matrix, which Simmons describes as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;worksheetâ&#x20AC;? for officials to determine the next step of the Cultural Plan.

of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the numbers are based on the assumption that overnight visitors spend, on average, $159 per day when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in town, and those who come in just for a day to attend or take part in a tournament spend about 40 percent of that, or $63.60 per day. Since Dec. 27, the report shows 1,666 volleyball and basketball teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost 50,000 individuals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have participated in tournaments at Sports Pavilion Lawrence, generating $4.4 million in hotel room rentals, dining and shopping.

Mayor choice Commissioner Mike Amyx’s experience and respect in the community make him the best choice to fill the mayor’s chair.

fter what Commissioner Mike Amyx called a “very tough week,” the Lawrence City Commission is in need of experienced, steady leadership. Commissioners could take a step toward that goal tonight by electing Amyx to fill the mayor’s seat left vacant last week by the resignation of Jeremy Farmer. Placing Amyx in this role isn’t a sign of disrespect for the skills of Acting Mayor Leslie Soden, but pushing Soden into the mayor’s job after only four months on the commission isn’t optimum for either the commission or the community. Amyx is in his fifth term on the commission and has served four terms as mayor. That experience is what the Lawrence commission needs as it works its way through the challenging situations it now faces. Experience also should be a key consideration as commissioners decide who should fill Farmer’s seat on the commission. City codes give the commission authority to appoint a replacement but says nothing about the process of screening candidates. It’s important, as some commissioners already have noted, to find a candidate the four remaining commissioners can unanimously support. Commissioners also have discussed how to involve the community in the selection process, which is an admirable goal. The timing of the selection process raises some questions, especially as it relates to the hiring of a new city manager. Does the commission want to move forward on that hiring process before a new commissioner is seated? Will that have any impact on would-be candidates for the city manager’s job? Some commissioners have suggested that the selection of a new member might take about 60 days. That’s a long time to delay the manager’s search if commissioners want the new member to be involved. One other wrinkle in filling the mayor’s seat is the new state law that will move City Commission elections from April to November. All the current commissioners will serve until January 2018, when a new commission is seated. Lawrence mayors have traditionally served from April to April, so it already was uncertain how the terms would be split to facilitate the election change. Although it adds one more layer to the discussion, now is as good a time as any to decide how the mayor’s terms should be adjusted to accommodate the new law. This is a challenging time for the city and the commission. Amyx’s experience and respect in the community make him the obvious choice to lead the city through those challenges. Fortunately, there isn’t any precedent or tradition to guide how a Lawrence mayor should be replaced in the middle of a term. How that is accomplished is purely up to the commission’s good judgment. If Amyx is willing to serve, it only makes sense to put him in the mayor’s chair. LAWRENCE

U.S. slights human rights in Cuba Washington — Secretary of State John Kerry deserves applause for saying that human rights will be a top priority in the newly normalized U.S. ties with Cuba, but his decision not to invite Cuban dissidents to the flagraising ceremony at the U.S. Embassy in Havana flew in the face of his promise. When I interviewed Kerry last week shortly before his trip, the first by a U.S. Secretary of State to Cuba in 70

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Kerry’s trip to Havana didn’t break new ground on human rights even symbolically, and in effect hurt Cuba’s fledgling internal opposition by making it look irrelevant in the eyes of many Cubans.” years, he said that “human rights obviously is at the top of our agenda, in terms of the first things that we will be focused on in our direct engagement with the Cuban government.” He even told me that he plans to discuss with Cuba a “sort of roadmap” to full normalization that ultimately will involve the lifting of the U.S. embargo, and Cuban steps, such as allowing Cubans “to engage in a democratic process, to elect people.” To his credit, he reiterated these themes in Havana, where he stated that “the people of Cuba would be best served by a genuine democracy, where people are free to choose their leaders.” All of that sounded great. But

then, during his trip to Havana, Kerry did not invite Cuban dissidents to attend, alongside Cuban officials, the flag-raising ceremony at the U.S. Embassy, which was the highlight of his 10-hour trip to the island. Instead, some peaceful government opponents were invited among hundreds of guests to a separate event later that day at the residence of the U.S. charge d’affairs in Cuba. When I asked Kerry in our interview why he would not include dissidents among his guests at the U.S. Embassy, he downplayed the significance of that decision. “Rather than have people sitting in a chair, at a ceremony that is fundamentally government to government, with very limited space, I will meet with them … and exchange views” separately, Kerry told me. But Republican critics and many human rights groups say the Obama administration caved in to the Cuban regime, which refuses to participate in diplomatic events attended by Cuban dissidents. In Cuba, the fivedecade-old Castro family dictatorship prohibits independent political parties and brands peaceful opponents as “mercenaries.” Some opposition leaders who were invited to the

charge d’affairs residence declined to attend. “We do not understand how the U.S. administration could accept the conditions of these dictators,” said Antonio Gonzalez Rodiles, one of the dissident leaders who declined the invitation, to the website El Diario de Cuba. Bertha Soler, a leader of the Ladies in White who has been arrested more than a dozen times in recent months for staging peaceful protests, told me in a telephone interview that the Obama administration pays lip service to human rights, but keeps a “shameful silence” about ongoing rights abuses in Cuba. Since Obama announced the start of normalization talks Dec. 17, there have been more than 3,000 political detentions in Cuba, according to the Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation. My opinion: Of all the things that Kerry told me, there is one with which I fully agree. That is that previous U.S. policy of confrontation with Cuba didn’t work, and that it was time to try something new. No question about that. That’s why, when Obama first announced that he would start normalization

Voters share government blame Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders represent two sides of the same coin. Both men have tapped into a deep anger — a discontent — in the public mood. Little seems to be going right. America appears in decline under a disengaged president. We can’t seem to win wars, or know why we are fighting them. People are afraid of losing their jobs or are unable to find one. While the treasury takes in record amounts of money from working people, it outspends its income. Sanders and Hillary Clinton want to spend (and borrow) even more. Why the anger? Is it justified and more importantly, is anger a winning strategy? Our anger should be directed less at politicians (although many are deservedly targets) and more at ourselves for expecting more from government than it can deliver. When the Founders pursued liberty, their intention was not only liberation from an oppressive English monarchy, but liberty for themselves and their posterity. With liberty comes responsibility. John Adams warned: “Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation, to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.” We have not made good use of it, but we are blaming the wrong people. The politicians care mostly about their careers. They will increasingly provide “benefits” in exchange for votes. Republicans, who promised to end the gravy train, or at a minimum slow it down, have done

little to reduce the spending spree. And so voters are angry at Republicans. Democrats have not reduced poverty or elevated the middle class, despite record amounts of spending on “anti-poverty” programs and empty promises to support those who languish between wealth and poverty. And so Bernie Sanders and his growing number of followers are angry at them. Where is the politician who will say “enough”? Where is the politician who will tell voters, “We can’t do more for you than you can do for yourself”? Character doesn’t come from Washington; it comes from within each individual. That is a message that might still resonate in a country where the Puritan ethic runs deep in its DNA. In sports, boundaries determine the limits of a playing field and rules define how the game is played. The Constitution was written to put boundaries on government and provide the maximum amount of liberty under the law to its citizens. Thomas Jefferson made that point in 1801 when he said, “…a wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them oth-

erwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned — this is the sum of good government.” Government has become dysfunctional because it has exceeded its constitutional boundaries. That’s why liberals and conservatives are discontented, though for different reasons. The left wants more of what’s not working, and the right wants less, but because of its timidity hasn’t made its case. Perhaps that’s why a proposal for an “Article 5” constitutional convention to put government back within its constitutional boundaries appears to be gaining momentum. According to the Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force, which tracks petitions, 27 states have filed active petitions with Congress. Seven more are needed. Franklin Roosevelt, who more than any other U.S. president expanded the power and cost of government, said in 1938: “let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a president and senators and congressmen and government officials but the voters of this country.” So, if you are discontented with government, look in the mirror and discover the person most responsible for expecting too much from government and too little from yourself. — Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Content Agency.

talks on Dec. 17 while simultaneously continuing to “strongly” press for democratic reforms on the island, many of us agreed with him. A two-pronged, carrot-andstick policy of restoring ties while pressing for human rights is worth trying. But now, I wonder if it hasn’t become a one-track policy. Kerry’s trip to Havana didn’t break new ground on human rights even symbolically, and in effect hurt Cuba’s fledgling internal opposition by making it look irrelevant in the eyes of many Cubans. Could it be that Obama is so eager to visit Cuba before he finishes his term — to go down in history as the U.S. president who “opened” Cuba, much as Nixon “opened” China — that he is willing to sacrifice the human rights cause? Could it be that he is so eager for a foreign policy victory that he is willing to abandon a long-standing U.S. policy of moral support to pro-democracy activists? I hope I’m wrong on this, but Kerry’s trip to Cuba was a first big test of Obama’s new Cuba policy, and the administration didn’t pass it. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 18, 1915: years “B. N. Shuler, who ago was until recently IN 1915 a contractor at Wichita, Kansas, and a member of the firm of Shuler Brothers, died at his home northwest of Buck Creek, and eleven miles northwest of Lawrence, at 8:30 o’clock yesterday morning from wounds inflicted by a man-killing bull last Sunday. Mr. Shuler was 57 years old and had lived in Douglas county only about six months.... The accident occurred last Sunday morning when Mr. Shuler attempted to drive the animal, which has injured several men and has had a bad reputation for years, out of the barn yard so that visitors could pass through.” “An enrollment of more than three thousand students at the University of Kansas is in sight according to the University authorities, who have on their hands the largest volume of inquiries and correspondence about the curriculum, the faculty, the expense, the advantages of the city outside of the University, and the status of the prohibitory law and other safeguards for the youth of both sexes, ever in the hands of any administration of the institution since its foundation.... At the bottom of this interest in the University is the general prosperity of the state.... The situation emphasizes the need of larger and in some directions better accommodations for various departments.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

I think what was important about last week and the decision for City Hall to be proactive in releasing the information is that CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A The records have come it shows this new City Commission places a to light as questions have very high premium on trust in government.” grown about Farmer’s past financial practices. Farmer on Aug. 10 abruptly stepped down as executive director of the Douglas County food bank Just Food after he conceded that he had not paid an estimated $50,000 in payroll taxes for the organization. Farmer on Wednesday then resigned from the City Commission and his position as mayor. The next day, City Hall officials released details that Farmer had used a city credit card to pay for some personal expenses, which Farmer later repaid when city officials questioned him about the matter. The Arkansas court records now create questions about whether Farmer intentionally misled voters during his 2013 campaign. The JournalWorld conducted an interview in January 2013 with Farmer shortly after he became a candidate for the City Commission. As it does with all candidates, the newspaper asked Farmer whether he had any legal issues to disclose to voters, such as past criminal charges, past due taxes or other matters of a similar nature. Farmer said there were no such issues to disclose. Court records, though, show Farmer and his exwife were the subject of at least three tax lien cases in Arkansas. The first was in August 2011 when the couple was cited for $222.41 in unpaid state income taxes. The amount was paid off in October 2011. The second case was in January 2012, when the couple was cited for failing to pay $2,374.85 in state income taxes. That amount was paid off in February 2012. The third case was the $2,190.20 tax lien filed in March 2012, and it was not paid off until late in Farmer’s 2013 campaign. Farmer, who turns 32 today, did not return a phone call seeking comment for this article. The Journal-World in the 2013 campaign conducted background checks on the candidates in the field, but the tax liens did not show up in those

— Acting Lawrence Mayor Leslie Soden checks, which were more heavily focused on seeking court filings made in and around Douglas County. A recent review of Farmer’s background has created at least one question about the accuracy of Farmer’s employment history. A resume that Farmer has posted online states he began working for Project Hope Food Bank in Hot Springs, Ark., in March 2009. But Ted Thompson, the director both then and now of the food bank, said Farmer did not start working for the food bank until October 2010, more than a year and a half later than Farmer claims to have started at the food bank. Thompson said he opened the food bank in March 2009 and that Farmer started working parttime for him in October 2010 on a contract basis. “I contracted with him to come in part-time when he, basically, needed a job,” Thompson said. “He worked here part-time, taking care of food drives, doing some computer work, that type of thing. He was not an employee. He was contract service.” On his resume, Farmer listed his title at the organization as “Community Awareness/Agency Relations/IT Director.”

Transparency concerns Farmer spent much of his tenure on the commission talking about the need for transparency and restoring residents’ trust in the City Commission. Some commissioners have acknowledged that Farmer’s resignation has likely created new issues of mistrust with the commission. “We talked a lot about restoring trust in the community,” Commissioner Matthew Herbert said Friday at a special City Commission meeting. “We have taken a pretty giant step backwards... But we have two years left, and it is going to be a very real priority for me to make sure that gets rebuilt.”

Commissioners have noted that Farmer did not have direct access to city funds as part of his mayoral position. The closest Farmer had to spending authority with the city was the city-issued credit card in his name. Commissioners expressed confidence that city staff members have done a good job of reviewing that issue. Commissioner Leslie Soden, who is serving as acting mayor, said that was why she pushed for city staff to make the credit questions known to the public as soon as possible. “I think what was important about last week and the decision for City Hall to be proactive in releasing the information is that it shows this new City Commission places a very high premium on trust in government,” Soden said. “That, coupled with not raising the mill levy this year, shows a pattern to Lawrence citizens that we are putting actions behind our words. It is not just campaign rhetoric. We’re serious about it.” Commissioner Mike Amyx, the lone commissioner left on the commission with more than five months of experience, said he’s promising residents that the commission will stay on top of any new developments that occur. “This is a bad time in Lawrence, Kansas. But we have a great community,” Amyx said. “Will there be questions? Should there be questions? You bet. If we find things, we’ll bring them out. But we’re going to continue to move forward as a community.” Commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. today at City Hall, where one of their items will be to select one of the four remaining commissioners to take over the duties of mayor. — Managing Editor Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362 or at clawhorn@ljworld.com. — Journal-World reporter Sara Shepherd contributed to this story.

Kansas school districts’ requests for aid outstrip funds Topeka (ap) — Thirtyeight Kansas public school districts are seeking about $15 million in additional aid from the state to address local budget issues, and the requests submitted by Monday’s deadline outstrip the available funds by nearly 23 percent. A majority of the districts are asking the state to cover unexpected drops in

property tax revenues, while others are seeking extra funds because of increases in student numbers. The state set aside $12.3 million for districts’ extraordinary needs during the current school year under a new law that jettisoned Kansas’ old per-student formula for distributing more than $3.4 billion in aid. The applicants represent more than

13 percent of the state’s 286 districts, and their requests exceed the dollars available by $2.5 million. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the top eight leaders of the GOPdominated Legislature plan to meet next Monday at the Statehouse to review the requests. The new law leaves it to them to decide how much each district receives.

WASHINGTON Two female soldiers will graduate from the Army’s legendary Ranger School this week, the first women to complete the course since it was opened to them on an experimental basis this year, the U.S. Army said Monday evening. The two were part of a group of 19 female soldiers who passed a rigorous screening process to begin the physically demanding course that had been closed to women since it opened more

than six decades ago. A third remains enrolled but is further back in the training cycle.

The graduation Friday will mark a key milestone in the military’s ongoing efforts to open front-line combat units to women. The services have pledged to do so without compromising standards. Students in the grueling twomonth course are required to survive on little food and sleep despite demanding physical activity, including carrying more than 100 pounds of gear through mountains and swamps. Ranger School is the Army’s most physically challenging course. The women started the regimen in April, but like many men, they were required to retake a phase of the course if they didn’t pass on the first go. Graduates get to wear the coveted Ranger tab, which signifies their completion of the Army’s premier small-unit leadership

course for the infantry and other front-line troops. “Each Ranger School graduate has shown the physical and mental toughness to successfully lead organizations at any level,” Army Secretary John McHugh said in a statement. “This course has proven that every soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential.” But the women will not be able to join the infantry or other socalled ground combat jobs, including the Ranger regiment, which remain closed to women, at least through this year. Opening the course to women is part of an assessment that all services have been ordered to undertake to determine how best to open the infantry, special operations forces and other ground combat jobs by next year.

Texas enforcing rule leaving kids without birth certificates A mother’s foreign ID no longer accepted Rick Jervis USA TODAY

For decades, immigrant moms in Texas could show a special ID — a matrícula consular — obtained from the Mexican consulate to get birth certificates for their U.S.-born children. But a recent about-face in that policy has left dozens of women without the proper proof that their children are U.S. citizens, immigrant attorneys said. And DALLAS

with school starting soon, some of those families are fearing the lack of documentation could keep their children out of school. In South Texas, 17 immigrant families have filed a federal lawsuit against the state, claiming their rights under U.S. law have been violated. “A birth certificate is a right,” said Miguel Solis, a trustee with the Dallas Independent School District. “The state is essentially taking away the one tool undocumented parents have to access that right.” Texas faced a border crisis last year where thousands of unaccompanied minors illegally crossed the state’s southern bor-

“A birth certificate is a right.” Miguel Solis, a Dallas Independent School District trustee

der with Mexico, overwhelming federal facilities, and some immigrant advocates say the sudden, widespread rejection of the consular ID is fallout from that. While a last-minute action by the Dallas Independent School Board and the Dallas County Clerk’s Office to expand the types of acceptable enrollment documents might avert problems there, immigrant rights advocates

said they fear a crisis still looms. State law allows the use of a foreign ID if the mother to a U.S.born child lacks a driver’s license, passport or other U.S.-issued identification. The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen. While the state does not dispute their citizenship, it is requiring other forms of ID from parents to issue the birth certificates. In 2008, the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) advised local clerks that the matrícula consular would no longer be accepted. The FBI and Home-

land Security, the memo said, have concluded that the consular IDs “are not a reliable form of identification.” DSHS said it never accepted the matrícula consular as a verifiable ID — an assertion challenged by immigration attorneys. Local registrars continued accepting the ID, however, until the past few months, with the state still reeling from last year’s border crisis, said Jennifer Harbury, a lawyer with Texas RioGrande Legal Aid. The local offices also stopped taking IDs from the consulates of Central American countries, such as Honduras and Guatemala.

FDA cites medical scope makers Regulators find safety lapses in manufacturing Peter Eisler USA TODAY

Federal regulators have found safety violations in the manufacturing practices of all three companies producing a specialized medical scope that has been linked to deadly superbug outbreaks at U.S. hospitals — a precursor to possible legal action against the firms. The Food and Drug Administration revealed Monday that it issued warning letters Aug. 12 to Olympus, Pentax and FujiFilm for violating an array of manufacturing and quality-control standards meant to ensure the safety of their duodenoscopes. The FDA also cited Olympus and Pentax for failing to properly notify the agency after the companies learned that infections had been linked to their scopes. The agency raised concerns that FujiFilm and Pentax may not

The warning letters are the most sweeping action taken by the FDA since USA TODAY first reported in January that duodenoscopes had been linked to superbug outbreaks that have sickened scores of patients and killed more than a dozen. The scopes, which doctors run down patients’ throats to treat gallstones, tumors and other blockages of the bile and pancreatic

donations from a wealthy few to fuel their political ambitions. Super PACs and other outside groups that can raise unlimited sums from corporations, individuals and unions, have swiftly amassed nearly $300 million for the 2016 White House battle, outpacing the amounts collected by candidates themselves. A USA TODAY analysis shows donations of $1 million or more account for nearly half of the money channeled into candidatealigned super PACs and other outside groups during the first six months of the election cycle. Miguel “Mike” Fernandez, a Miami-area billionaire who has invested in health care companies, emerged in recent weeks as the single-largest donor to Right to Rise USA, a super PAC supporting former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s presidential bid. The Cuban-born Fernandez, who arrived in the USA in the 1960s as a child, casts his $3 million donation as his patriotic responsibility to a country that provided his family refuge and allowed him to thrive in business. “I expect nothing out of my contribution,” he said during a phone interview from his vacation home in the Bahamas. He said his goal is to boost Bush, whom he described as a “wonky executive” capable of working across party lines to make strides on issues such as improving public schools. “He’s not going to dazzle you with his ability to speak publicly, but you’ve got to look beyond that,” Fernandez said. In the end, Fernandez said, he may contribute “double or three times” what he’s already given to the Bush super PAC. Even so, he

said, “I probably won’t be in the top 25” of 2016 donors. He’s probably right. Robert Mercer, a publicityaverse hedge-funder from New York, has contributed $11 million to a super PAC backing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s bid for the GOP nomination. Two other billionaires — energy executive Kelcy Warren and IT tycoon Darwin Deason — have donated $6 million and $5 million, respectively, to super PACs backing former Texas governor Rick Perry’s White House candidacy. Those super PACs provide a lifeline to his struggling campaign. Perry’s cash-strapped operation stopped paying staff this month, and the super PACs supporting his bid have stepped in to boost his chances. The groups are building field operations in Iowa and could expand their voter outreach to New Hampshire and South Carolina. Brian Ballard, a Florida lobbyist who is raising money for both Bush’s super PAC and his campaign, said “the ability of billionaires to write huge checks does chill an already difficult” process. But he called it “the new reality, whether you like it or don’t like it.” Ballard said Bush’s super PAC, which has collected $103 million, has something his rivals lack — a broad base of support to sustain his candidacy in the long run. About 27% of Right to Rise’s funds came from donors who gave $1 million or more, compared with more than 85% of the donations to the pro-Perry super PACs, USA TODAY’s tally shows. “I don’t think voters will like one or two people controlling the financing of a presidential cam-

The warning letters, based on inspections of all three manufacturers’ production facilities, are the first step toward formal legal action, setting strict timelines for the companies to address the problems cited. Olympus spokesman Mark Miller said in a written statement that the company is “reviewing the FDA’s warning letter so that we can provide the required response in a timely manner.” Pentax said in a statement it also would respond to the FDA in the required timeframe. “We consider these issues to be of utmost importance,” Chief Medical Officer Mark Koppel said. A FujiFilm statement said, “Actions have been and will continue to be taken to ensure that our products and processes meet FDA requirements, and pose no risks to … health and safety.”

7,000-year-old bones reveal savagery in early farmers Traci Watson

A jumble of 7,000-year-old human bones found in a German ditch helps confirm that Europe’s first farmers resorted to mysterious savage bloodshed, a new report shows. At least 26 people — including several babies — died in the brutal massacre, researchers report in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Many victims were either mutilated after death or tortured while still alive by killers who probably lived a short walk away. “I have been at the site when the skeletons were still in the ground, and the sight was horrifying, even after 7,000 years,” says study co-author Detlef Gronenborn of the Romano-Germanic Central Museum in Germany. “This must have been an outbreak of extreme cruelty and aggression.” Uncovered almost a decade ago

Rescue teams were poised to hike through rugged terrain Tuesday toward the wreckage of an Indonesian airliner with 54 people aboard that crashed into a mountain Sunday. The search was to resume at daylight for the plane, which an official said Monday had nearly $500,000 in cash on board for distribution to about 6,000 local residents in the remote eastern Indonesia region. Four postal workers were on the plane escorting four bags of money totaling $468,750, said Franciscus Haryono, the head of the post office in the provincial capital of Jayapura. The Jakarta Post reported that the funds were to be handed over symbolically to regent Wellinton Wenda during a ceremony Monday to celebrate the 70th Indonesian Independence Day. The cash from the Social Affairs Ministry was to be distributed among poor people in remote areas to cushion the jump in fuel costs, Haryono said. — Jane Onyanga-Omara

during road construction, the bones at what is known as the Kilianstädten site suggest that many of the victims’ legs were broken just before or just after death. Only torture or mutilation can explain such fractures, the researchers say. Dents on the bones show the killers used an ax-like implement to bash in their victim’s skulls. One arm bone reveals an attempted amputation. The remains include those of a dozen children aged 9 or younger, including three children who were either infants or toddlers. Noticeably absent, however, were younger women, who may have been carried off as booty rather than killed. The dead may well have known the people who slaughtered them.

Elloine Clark, a Dallas philanthropist who has contributed more than $1.5 million to Republican candidates and committees since 2002, has spread her donations among several politicians and their super PACs this year.

NATION/WORLD Summer travel season will end in a rush Airlines project a 3% boost over last year over Labor Day weekend

Bart Jansen @ganjansen USA TODAY

Airlines project 14.2 million passengers will fly over the Labor Day holiday, a 3% increase from last year that could break records for summer travel. The industry group Airlines for America expects about 2 million daily passengers from Wednesday Sept. 2 through Tuesday Sept. 8, which would mark an increase of about 59,000 passengers per day from the comparable holiday period last year. The announcement Tuesday followed a projection in May that this would be the busiest summer in the history of U.S. air travel. The industry estimated 222 million travelers would fly from

June 1 through Aug. 31 — higher than the previous peak of 217 million travelers in 2007. To accommodate the additional passengers and meet demand, airlines boosted their schedules with more flights and larger planes, the group said. “Air travel continues to be more accessible and a bargain for cost-conscious consumers,” John Heimlich, the group’s chief economist, said. As airlines rebound from the economic collapse in 2008, the 10 publicly held airlines reported a collective profit of $8.7 billion during the first half of the year — more than double the $3.9 billion during the same period in 2014. Airlines attributed the improved profitability almost entirely to lower fuel costs, which fell 34%. Operating revenue for airlines

remained relatively flat as a 3% decline in fares offset a 3% increase in passengers. Airline seating capacity slightly outpaced passengers during the first half of the year as planes flew 82.8% full, compared with 83.2% full a year earlier. The airline reports of greater profitability came the same month the Transportation Department reported passenger complaints were up 20% during the first half of the year. Flight disruptions and baggage problems led the complaints that rose to 9,542, from 7,935 a year earlier. The 10 airlines collectively invested $8.5 billion during the first half of the year to improve the customer experience, according to the trade group. Airlines bought and refurbished planes at a rate of nearly one per day.

About 2 million customers a day will travel during the Labor Day holiday, beginning Sept. 2, according to Airlines for America.

DEATH TOLL RISES IN BANGKOK Bomb outside Hindu shrine kills at least 18 people, injures 117 Duncan Forgan and John Bacon USA TODAY

A deadly bomb blast Monday rocked a downtown shopping and tourism hub here during the evening rush hour, killing at least 18 people and injuring scores more, authorities said. “It sounded like thunder,” said Alexander Hotz, an American filmmaker who works in the area. “We were sitting in the office, and at first we thought it was just an amazingly loud rainstorm coming through. Then one of our Thai interns came back upstairs and told us that things were going crazy.” A BBC correspondent said there were “body parts scattered everywhere” and a crater, indicating a bombing. People near the Erawan Shrine, a Hindu religious site where the explosion took place, were hit by the “full force of the blast,” the BBC reported. Burned motorbikes could be seen in the road. Police initially said they found a suspicious object near the blast site and were concerned about a second explosion. Later, national police chief Somyot Poompummuang told the Associated Press the object had been determined to be harmless. At least 18 people were confirmed dead and 117 injured, AP said, citing emergency officials. The Bangkok Post, citing the Royal Thai Police, put the death toll at 19. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast. The Post said an improvised explosive device placed inside the shrine complex detonated at 6:55 p.m. local time. The newspaper said the scale of the explosion set motorbikes and taxis ablaze near the Rajprasong intersection, site of political protests in recent years. Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwan condemned the bombing and expressed condolences to the families of the dead and injured. He told the Post it was too soon to say if the attacks were politically motivated. “But it was clear that the perpetrators intended to destroy the economy and tourism, because it occurred in the heart of (Bangkok’s) business district,” Prawit said.

While most attention has focused on the lingering drought in California, a “flash” drought has spun up in the past few weeks across much of the South, from Texas to the Carolinas. “A flash drought is one that develops rapidly with impacts observed almost as quickly,” such as wildfires and stress on plants, explained climatologist Brian Fuchs of the National Drought Mitigation Center in Lincoln, Neb.

“It sounded like thunder. … At first we thought it was just an amazingly loud rainstorm coming through.”

The White House also condemned the attack and said U.S. officials would remain in close contact with Thai authorities investigating the blast. The statement, from National Security Council spokesman Ned Price, extended “our deepest condolences to all those affected by the explosion.” While such attacks are rare here, there have been smaller incidents in recent months. In February, a small, homemade pipe bomb exploded near a Bangkok shopping mall. In March, grenades were tossed in front of the Central Criminal Court in Bangkok, and in April, seven people were injured in a parking lot blast on the tourist island of Koh Samui.

It was not clear Monday why the shrine was targeted. More than 90% of Thailand’s 66 million people are Buddhist, with Hindus making up a tiny fraction of the rest. About 5% of the population is Islamic, and there has been some religious unrest involving Islamic separatists in southern Thailand in recent years. Thailand experienced a military coup in May 2014. The government was dissolved, replaced by a military-dominated national legislature. The current prime minister, Gen. Prayut Chan-ocha, has cracked down on dissent and banned criticism of his government. Bacon reported from McLean, Va.

eastern Texas comes a mere two months after the state had its rainiest month ever recorded with devastating floods in May that killed dozens of people. The May rainfall in Texas was twice the average and ended the drought plaguing the state since 2011, the National Centers for Environmental Information said. Now, every state from Texas to South Carolina has some level of drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, a federal website. The entire eastern third of Texas is either abnormally dry or in a drought. While most of Texas tends to

be dry in the summer, “the length of this dry spell is starting to get unusual, especially for northeast Texas and parts of the coast, where dry spells usually don’t last this long,” state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon said. Brush and grass fires have been reported in recent weeks across portions of Texas, the Texas Forestry Service said, many in the same places that were under water in May. Unlike most droughts, which begin slowly and are slow to end, flash droughts crop up from the combination of high heat and dry conditions, Fuchs said.

WASHINGTON The debate over government surveillance is emerging as a significant issue in the presidential race, blurring party lines as candidates such as Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders go after many of the same independent-minded voters worried about government spying. The 2016 presidential race is the first to be held in the wake of the revelations in 2013 by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden that the agency engaged in the mass collection of phone data from millions of Americans not suspected of any terrorist activity. Analysts said the surveillance issue is a way for candidates to distinguish themselves, especially in the crowded GOP primary debates, where it separates privacy rights proponents such as Paul, a KenGETTY IMAGES tucky senator, Bernie Sanders and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz from security hawks such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. It also is a GETTY IMAGES way for Sanders Rand Paul to set himself apart from the more hawkish Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary. “The Snowden revelations gave the candidates something to talk about that they couldn’t talk about before, either because they didn’t know about it or because it was classified and couldn’t be discussed,” said Gregory Nojeim, senior counsel for the non-partisan Center for Democracy and Technology. “In the aftermath of Snowden, we’re finally getting a real debate over the Constitution.” The debate comes as Congress struggles with the balance between civil liberties and homeland security. Lawmakers voted this year to end the NSA phone data program as libertarians, some Tea Party conservatives and liberal Democrats united to force changes to the Patriot Act. More recently, privacy advocates held up Senate passage of a cyber security bill that civil liberties groups warned could lead to more government surveillance. “Libertarians like Paul and progressives like Sanders have very similar takes on the need for privacy rights,” said Darrell West, founding director of the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings Institution. “It’s the politics of strange bedfellows.”

‘Route 29 Batman’ dies in car accident Marc Cugnon

USA TODAY Network

Maryland bid goodbye to a superhero when Leonard B. Robinson, the “Route 29 Batman,” was struck in a fatal car accident Sunday. Robinson’s “Batmobile,” a custom Lamborghini, broke down on Interstate 70 near Hagerstown, Md. Robinson, often dressed up as the Dark Knight and visited sick children in area hospitals. He was on his way home from a car show when the accident occurred. The details of Robinson’s accident paint a picture of a tragedy: The Batmobile was experiencing engine trouble, so the 51-year-old Maryland native pulled over. His car was still partially in the eastbound passing lane when it was struck by a Toyota Camry, slamming Robinson’s car into him. The Camry’s driver was uninjured. Robinson was pronounced dead on the scene. No charges have been filed, and Maryland State Police are continuing to investigate the crash. Robinson burst into the national limelight in 2012 when he was pulled over by the police on U.S 29 near Silver Spring, Md.

A new study concludes that high-paying jobs have grown the fastest in the economic recovery, casting doubt on the widespread lament that low-wage jobs have dominated payroll growth since 2010. The report, by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, says its findings are more accurate than prior analyses that cite a prevalence of low-paid jobs because it evaluated occupations rather than industries. Based on that measure, nearly 3 million, or 44%, of the jobs added from 2010 to 2014 were highpaying positions with salaries above $53,000. Only 1.9 million, or 29%, of the newly formed jobs were middle-wage ($32,000 to $53,000) and 1.8 million, or 27%, were low-wage (less than $32,000).

Blue-collar jobs in manufacturing, such as this one building light fixtures in Brooklyn, N.Y., are among the mid-wage positions.

“We’re not just creating lousy jobs,” says Anthony Carnevale, head of the Georgetown center and co-author of the report. “It’s more good jobs than bad jobs.” He says that finding is consistent with the need for skilled workers who can operate new technologies, and with the notion that such employees are typically the last to be fired in a recession and the first hired in a recovery. By contrast, a report last year by the National Employment Law Project (NELP) found that lowwage industries made up 44% of the jobs added from 2010 through early 2014, while midwage industries constituted 26% and higher-wage industries, 30%. The discrepancy between the

two reports largely stems from the mistaken belief that virtually all the jobs created in so-called low-wage industries such as restaurants, retail and home health care pay little, based on their median wage, the Georgetown study says. For example, besides lowpaid waiters, cashiers and personal care aides, those sectors also employ well-compensated chefs, accountants and registered nurses. But the employment gains most prominently reported each month by the Labor Department and analyzed by the NELP study count the total number of jobs created by each industry based on a survey of establishments. They don’t break down those jobs by occupation. The Georgetown study based its findings on a separate Labor Department survey of households that tallies jobs based on occupation, rather than industry. It found that the high-paying,

Blue-collar jobs in manufacturing and construction as well as positions in community services and education comprised most of the midwage jobs created. And the lowwage positions were largely filled by workers in food and personal services, sales and office support. While the nation has more than recovered the low- and highwage jobs lost in the recession, there were still 900,000 fewer mid-wage wage jobs at the end of 2014, the study says. Those include many manufacturing positions that were outsourced overseas.

IRS hack 3 times larger than thought Elizabeth Weise @eweise USA TODAY

A hack of the Internal Revenue Service first reported in May was nearly three times as large as previously stated, the agency said Monday. Thieves have accessed as many as 334,000 taxpayer accounts, the IRS said. In May, the IRS reported that identity thieves were able to use the agency’s Get Transcript program to get personal information SAN FRANCISCO

about as many as 114,000 taxpayers. On Monday, the IRS said an additional 220,000 accounts had also been hacked. In all, 334,000 accounts were accessed, though whether information was stolen from every one of them is not known. The hackers made use of an IRS application called Get Transcript, which allows users to view their tax account transactions, line-by-line tax return information or wage and income reported to the IRS for a specific tax year. To enter the Get Transcript system, the user must correctly

answer multiple identity verification questions. The hackers took information about taxpayers acquired from other sources and used it to correctly answer the questions, allowing them to gain access to a plethora of data about individual taxpayers. The Get Transcript service was shut down in May. Taxpayers whose information was potentially breached will get letters in the mail from the IRS in the coming days. They will also get access to free credit protection and Identity Protection PINs, the IRS said in a statement.

General Motors is close to becoming the first major automaker to sell a China-made vehicle in the U.S. in a move that could fuel political consternation over the decline of the American manufacturing sector. Industry analysts expect that the automaker will import the compact crossover Buick Envision from a plant in China to U.S. dealerships by the end of 2016. In fact, IHS Automotive analysts are so sure it will happen, they’ve integrated it into their official U.S. sales forecasts. “That’s what we expect,” IHS analyst Stephanie Brinley said. “It will be interesting to see, if GM follows through on this plan, how consumers will react.” The move could come in the heat of the U.S. presidential campaign, which has focused on barriers throttling the U.S. economy amid stiff foreign competition with manufacturers in China, Mexico and elsewhere. This would position the auto industry squarely in the bull’s-eye of the trade debate. Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders have assailed U.S. leaders for giving China the upper hand on trade. Buick spokesman Nick Richards said talk of the Envision coming from China to the U.S. is speculation. But he acknowledged that GM is “looking at all the opportunities” for the vehicle. “It’s our practice to build where we sell. In every business aspect it makes the most sense,” Richards said.

The Buick Envision is already on sale in China and may be imported to the U.S.

GM makes the Envision in China because that’s the biggest market for the Buick brand. If GM decides to sell the vehicle in the U.S., where it would fill a crucial hole in Buick’s lineup, the quickest and most cost-effective route would be to export it. “Definitely the U.S. market is the secondary market for the Buick brand,” AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan said. The strategy of building vehicles where they’re sold helps mitigate the effect of currency fluctuation and reduces transportation costs. Importing the Buick Envision to the U.S. might help GM navigate China’s decision last week to devalue the yuan. The model, similar in size to GM’s Chevrolet Equinox crossover, is an outlier because U.S. sales volume is likely to be too low to justify building the vehicle in two different plants. GM is expected to sell about 129,000 units of the Envision in China in 2017, according to IHS Automotive forecasts, vs. about 35,000 units in the U.S. Complicating matters, GM faces contract negotiations in the U.S. with the United Auto Workers union, which has threatened to authorize a strike at GM, Ford or Fiat Chrysler if it doesn’t reach deals by mid-September. The UAW is consistently critical of manufacturers with plants in other countries. The Envision could represent an opportunity for the UAW to make a business case for assembling Envision in the U.S. Contributing: Greg Gardner, Detroit Free Press

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

In a ho-hum year for U.S. stocks, among the big winners are stocks tied to the recovering housing market. Heading into the week, the broad S&P 500 stock index was up 1.6%, but shares of homebuilders were up 13%, home-improvement retailers were 11.1% higher and home furnishings stocks were 26.1% higher, according to S&P Capital IQ. Bolstering these shares has been the housing market itself, which continues to heal after last decade’s boom and bust. Housing-related stocks are among the best-performing shares in 2015. The power of the resurgent real estate market to generate positive action in the stock market was illustrated Monday when an early

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

100-plus-point drop in the Dow Jones industrial average reversed following the best reading on housing builder sentiment since 2005. The next data point that could power housing-related shares even higher comes Tuesday with the release of July housing starts. Wall Street economists are expecting a month-over-month rise of 1.4% to 1.19 million units on an annualized basis. While that’s below the 9.8% growth in June, it still shows momentum in housing remains strong. At a time when the U.S. economy is experiencing headwinds from abroad in places like China and Europe, continued strength in the housing market will help deliver a message that investors can’t help but hear loud and clear: Americans are confident enough to pull the trigger on a big purchase like a home.

Ride through the storms with good asset allocation Q: What do you do when a ‘crisis’ becomes a problem? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

Hardly a month goes by before there’s some sort of “crisis” for investors to fret about. That’s one of the best things about being a long-term investor: few of these matter. Remember the “Greek debt crisis,” which had everyone fearing some sort of global currency contagion? Worries caused short-term volatility as traders couldn’t decide if the situation was truly a problem. Many of these traders never took the time to actually think about it. Greece — which is important culturally — isn’t a big player economically. The nation of Greece has an annual gross domestic product of roughly $242 billion. That’s roughly 1% of the GDP of the U.S. and about 1% of the total GDP of the EU. The Greek crisis has blown over. But, you can be sure there will be some other crisis. Some of these might turn into a major event for markets, but most won’t. One thing’s for sure: None of these matter to long-term investors who have proper asset allocation. Flash crashes, falling commodity prices ... none of these matter when you’re invested for decades — which you should be. If you find “crises” worry you, your portfolio is wrong. Consult an adviser or reputable website to make sure you have the right mix of various types of stocks and bonds — so you have the courage to keep those investments long term.

Citigroup pays $180 million fine over failed hedge funds Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

Citigroup put an ugly chapter of the financial crisis behind it Monday with a deal to fork over $180 million to settle charges that it misled investors about the risks of two hedge funds that collapsed during the mortgage meltdown. The Securities and Exchange Commission said two Citigroup affiliates agreed to pay the fine to settle charges that they defrauded investors of the ASTA/MAT fund and the Falcon fund by claiming they were were “safe,” “low-risk”

PATRICK T. FALLON, BLOOMBERG

The SEC says Citigroup affiliates failed to disclose the risks involving two hedge funds that collapsed.

and suitable for traditional bond investors. The funds, which were invested in risky asset-backed securi-

ties, collectively raised close to $3 billion from approximately 4,000 investors before collapsing, the SEC said. Citigroup’s financial advisers even encouraged some clients to sell portions of their bond portfolios to invest in the hedge funds, which they described as “bond substitutes,” the SEC said. Such statements by Citigroup employees were at odds with the company’s marketing documents, which made clear that the funds should not be viewed as a safe bond substitute, the SEC said. Even as the hedge funds began crumbling in 2007, the bank accepted $110 million in additional

investments, the SEC said. The two Citigroup affiliates — Citigroup Global Markets, which formerly was Salomon Smith Barney, and Citigroup Alternative Investments — did not properly disclose the condition of the funds at this time, the SEC said. Instead, some Citigroup employees continued to assure investors that they were invested in lowrisk investments with adequate liquidity, the SEC said. By January 2008, Falcon’s fund manager had drawn up potential “liquidation scenarios” for the fund. Yet the fund’s manager and some financial advisers con-

tinued to tell investors that Falcon had “adequate liquidity” and that the fund was “well capitalized,” the regulator said. They failed to disclose the fund’s requests for liquidity support, which were denied by CAI and Citigroup, or the sale of more than $8.4 billion in fund assets to meet growing margin calls, the SEC said. “Firms cannot insulate themselves from liability for their employees’ misrepresentations by invoking the fine print contained in written disclosures,” said Andrew Ceresney, director of the SEC’s Enforcement Division.

Summer starts brightly but is no ‘World’ beater ‘Jurassic’ powers first half, and a strong finish could make up for the dog days Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

While this won’t wind up being the record-setting summer at the box office some thought it would be, a season full of big-screen dinosaurs, A-list superheroes and animated emotions hasn’t been too shabby. Tracking firm Rentrak estimates that this summer will rack up $4.4 billion from the first weekend of May to Labor Day, annually the busiest time of the year at the movies. The domestic record of $4.7 billion set in 2013 stands — and led to a yearly alltime high of $10.9 billion — yet if estimates hold, 2015’s summer total will finish up 8.4% from 2014 and tied with 2011 for the second-biggest in history. “That’s truly impressive, given the number of entertainment options out there for audiences on various platforms,” says Rentrak senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “It’s a testament to the singularity of that moviegoing experience.” On paper, summer 2015 looked as if it could be the biggest ever, beginning with the May 1 release of Avengers: Age of Ultron. And its hefty $457.3 million take placed it second behind Jurassic World’s staggering $638 million total, which ranks as No. 3 all time.

a new opening-weekend record in June with $208.8 million — he didn’t think The Avengers’ $207.4 million mark in 2012 would be broken for years. “That was one of those 100year-flood kind of moments,” he says. But Jurassic World “so perfectly captured the spirit of what summer moviegoing is about, it delivered what people wanted and it felt fresh.” Strong performances from Pixar’s Inside Out ($339.4 million to date), animated Minions ($312.9 million) and the singing sequel Pitch Perfect 2 ($183.8 million) powered “an amazing first half,” says Jeff Bock, senior box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. But the latter days of July brought a slowdown, and by August, “we just hit a dead end,” Bock says. Outside of Straight Outta Compton’s $60.2 million debut last weekend, “there wasn’t a huge hit.” “The way you get a record is when virtually every film exceeds expectations,” Dergarabedian says. “You have this small window to make $4 billion-plus, which is actually 40% on average of the year’s total box office.” So while it won’t be a recordbreaking summer, Dergarabedian says there is a good chance of having a banner year. This year already is running well ahead of last year, and there is still the last Hunger Games film, the James Bond movie Spectre, Pixar project The Good Dinosaur and blockbuster-in-waiting Star Wars: The Force Awakens set to arrive in theaters. “If we could get to $11 billion for the year,” Dergarabedian says, “that would be the first time ever.”

Melissa McCarthy wants to keep you in stitches. Literally. The comedic actress, known for her starring roles in CBS hit Mike & Molly and big-screen fare such as Bridesmaids, The Heat and Spy, has launched her own clothing line. Melissa McCarthy Seven 7 just arrived at Nordstrom.com and Macys.com and retails for $54-$169.

Melissa McCarthy is fully involved with her line: “I’m on my hands and knees fitting and pinning and checking alterations.” from regular to plus, and McCarthy promises the collection contains something for every woman

of every size and shape. “Women come in all sizes. That’s the most logical thing.

That’s the big part of the fun for me, making clothes for all women,” says McCarthy, 44. McCarthy says she was handson during the design process. “I’ve done every single piece. I’m on my hands and knees fitting and pinning and checking alterations,” she says. “It’s really satisfying. I am psychotically involved. I plan on designing every step of the way.” On red carpets, McCarthy has worn frocks she made herself, or ensembles that she had created to her specifications. And she, in turn, wanted other women to have access to clothing, regardless of size, that was stylish and chic and of the moment. “When I was wearing stuff that I’d had made and people asked where they could get it, I told them someone made it for me. I drew it and someone made it. I felt guilty about it,” she says. “If you’re over a size 10, apparently you have to lose your sense of fashion.”

IN THIS MARCH 16 PHOTO, RETIRED U.S. ARMY SGT. 1ST CLASS MARSHALL POWELL PAUSES while talking about his emotionally traumatic experiences serving as a military nurse in northern Iraq in 2007, during one of the bloodiest years of the conflict. Veterans like Powell often have difficulties handling their regret for their own actions during a war.

For vets, remorse can hurt as badly as physical wounds By Julie Watson Associated Press

gt. 1st Class Marshall Powell took a deep breath. “It was just another day in Mosul,” the soldier began, his voice shaking. He couldn’t look at the other three servicemen in the group therapy session. He’d rarely spoken about his secret, the story of the little girl who wound up in his hospital during the war in Iraq, where he served as an Army nurse. Her chest had been blown apart, and her brown eyes implored him for help. Whenever he’d thought of her since, “I killed the girl,”

echoed in his head. Powell kept his eyes glued to the pages he’d written. He recalled the chaos after a bombing that August day in 2007, the vehicles roaring up with Iraqi civilians covered in blood. Around midnight, Powell took charge of the area housing those with little chance of survival. There, amid the mangled bodies, he saw her. She was tiny, maybe 6 years old, lying on the floor. Her angelic face reminded him of his niece back home in Oklahoma. Back in the therapy room, saying it all out loud, Powell’s eyes began to fill just at the memory of her. “I couldn’t let her lay

there and suffer,” he said. A doctor had filled a syringe with painkillers. Powell pushed dose after dose into her IV. “She smiled at me,” he told the others in the room, “and I smiled back. Then she took her last gasp of air.” Before the war, Sgt. Powell’s very core was built on God and faith and saving lives, not doing anything that could end one. He lost his purpose when the girl died, and he found himself in a nondescript room on a San Diego naval base trying desperately to save his own crumbling existence. Please see INJURY, page 2C

LMH welcomes four new physicians to its staff By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital medical staff welcomed four physicians this week, including a doctor who was one of only two internal medicine physicians finishing residency at Kansas University Medical Center to choose primary care as a practice focus. Dr. Martha Allen completed her internal medicine residency at KU this

summer. She is joining The Internal Medicine Group. Dr. Allen attended Central Methodist University in Fayette, Mo., for her undergraduate education. She earned her doctorate of medicine at KU and headed to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis to complete her

internship in internal medicine and pediatrics. Dr. Allen is married with two children and enjoys outdoor activities with her family.

Wes: This week I said my annual private goodbye to a past author and welcomed a new one. This act was performed, as are most rituals in our world today, by moving a folder, in this case “11. Kyra Haas,” from a folder named “Column” into another named “Archive” and creating a new folder named “12. Gabe Magee” in its place. With that metaphorical stroke of a pen, Gabe is now officially our 12th Double Take co-author, the third young man to take that role, and the second co-author from Bishop Seabury Academy. As I co-author Gabe’s first column, I am half a block from the New York Times building, absorbing inspiration as I gaze upon it through the window of my notterribly-swank Manhattan hotel. Most young people know that the New York Times exists. Far fewer have actually read it or even looked at its webpage, which costs money in a world of unlimited free information. The same is true for papers all over the country as well as our hometown. That wasn’t the case 11 years ago when we started Double Take. Then kids still read the paper. Literally. They held up the broadsheet and committed its inked words to their short-term memories. Today, Double Take is written more for parents to pass on to their kids or help them offer (hopefully) wise guidance on personal problems, political intrigues, and cultural changes. Last week I was at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. There, one cannot misunderstand the importance of a free press to a democracy. The unfettered interchange of ideas, no matter how thoughtful, wacky, or at times even dangerous, is a pillar of our society, and teaching kids to discern which ideas are which should be among our highest priorities. That’s one reason Double Take is important. Here, we make a small contribution to the future of journalism by giving a teenager an early shot at the power of a free press and letting him or her write commentary out there for everyone to see.

Injury

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Another kind of trauma Unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, which is based on fear from feeling one’s life threatened, moral injury produces guilt and shame from something done or witnessed that goes against one’s values or may even be a crime. While the idea of warriors feeling remorse over battlefield horrors is not new, moral injury has

gained more attention following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as mental health providers point to it as a reason why veterans aren’t improving with PTSD treatments. The Navy now runs one of the military’s first residential treatment programs that addresses the problem — the one that Powell found. Still, debate persists over whether moral injury is a part of PTSD or its own separate condition. There is no formal medical diagnosis for it. Psychiatrists who treat moral injury believe it has contributed to the suicide rate among veterans, who account for 1 out of every 5 suicides in the United States. And they see danger in ignoring it because its treatment is distinct. PTSD sufferers can find relief with medication and counseling that encourages reliving the triggering incident to work through fear. But if the person considers what happened to be morally wrong, reliving it may only reaffirm that belief. Counselors have found the self-punishment stops when veterans learn the deed does not define who they are. Veterans, the experts said, find comfort in sharing with each

She is board-certified in internal medicine and board-eligible in infectious disease medicine. Dr. Schrimsher’s interests include art, music and photography. Two new general surgeons joined Lawrence General Surgery yesterday: Dr. Jared Konie and Dr. Blake Conklin. An Eagle Scout, Dr. Konie grew up in the Kansas City area and attended Lake Forest College in Illinois for undergraduate studies. He earned his doctorate of medicine at KU and completed a fiveyear general surgery residency at the University of Missouri School of Medicine’s University Hospital in Columbia. He specializes in advanced minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Konie is married with two children and enjoys spending time with his family. He counts photography and scuba diving among his hobbies. Dr. Conklin, a Topeka native, earned his bachelor’s degree at KU and completed medical school at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. His general surgery residency was completed at Ohio Health’s Doctors Hospital/Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Conklin completed his fellowship in advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgery at Sinai Hospital/ Northwest Hospital in Baltimore, Md. He is married with a 15-month-old son and enjoys travel, exercise and spending time with his family and two dogs. Dr. Sherri Vaughn, a family practice physician at Total Family Care, has coordinated physician recruitment activities at LMH for many years. Dr. Vaughn said the competition for top physician candidates, especially in the area of primary care, is intense across the country. “We are so fortunate to have such exceptional physicians choosing to practice in Lawrence,” she said.

After I wrote this, I tweeted a shot of the New York Times to Kyra Haas with the note, “Here’s where you’ll end up next... if it’s still around.” Let’s hope it is. I have no doubt that Gabe Magee will be more than ready to engage in this interchange of ideas as we both do our best to help parents move another generation of teens into adulthood as good consumers of information and intelligent actors upon it. Keeping with tradition, Gabe has chosen his first topic.

Surrounding him that day were veterans who had suffered as he suffered: An Army staff sergeant who stood frozen in shock, unable to offer aid to a fellow soldier whose legs were severed in an explosion in Afghanistan. A Marine whose junior comrade was fatally shot after he convinced him to switch posts in Iraq. A Navy man who beat an Iraqi citizen in anger. Like Powell, they’d spent years torturing themselves over acts that tortured their conscience. “Souls in anguish” is how some experts describe this psychological scar of war now being identified as “moral injury.”

other, because only those who’ve experienced war can truly understand the complexity of morality on the battlefield. “The pain brings everyone together and creates a bond that no one can break,” said Elvin Carey of Murrieta, Calif., whose fellow Marine died after the two switched posts.

Getting back up Sgt. Powell is a friendly man who finds peace working on his family’s farmland outside Crescent, Okla. He said he wanted to share his story because it might prompt others to seek help. And while Powell always blamed himself for the girl’s death, three toxicology experts interviewed by The Associated Press said her injuries, not the drugs, likely caused her death. By the time he arrived in San Diego in February 2014, Powell, then 56, was on therapist No. 5 and contemplating suicide. He had

never heard of moral injury; he just knew that the beliefs that had shaped his life were shattered. He was raised on the idea that God has a reason for everything. It was the mantra his family drew strength from in the face of poverty and racism in rural Crescent. “When a man’s down, if he stays down, he done lay down,” Powell’s older brother, Bob, said once when young Marshall flopped down on the porch, upset over being called a racial slur at school. “You need to get on up from there.” He learned to pick himself up from even the darkest depths. After Bob died in a car accident, Powell, then in the Air Force, started using drugs, quit the service and wound up sleeping on the streets of Dayton, Ohio. He returned to Crescent and to Sunday services, apologizing to the pastor for having only a dime to drop in the basket. The

reverend gave it back, along with $43 in donations, and told him to keep his faith. “God hears you,” said the pastor. The next day, Powell joined the Army. But the girl was something he couldn’t get back up from. Months after her death, Powell was sent back stateside to Hawaii. Soon, she was appearing in his dreams. Her death left him questioning God, and himself most of all. Powell started drinking heavily and sought help for PTSD. He was prescribed pills for insomnia, depression and anxiety. But, he says, “I couldn’t beat it.” After six years, a therapist recommended the program at Naval Medical Center San Diego.

Vets help each other Called Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support, or OASIS, the program started in 2010 with the aim to help service members not finding success with PTSD treatments. Three years later, therapies addressing moral injury were added. Seven other servicemen were part of Powell’s 10-week session. After the second week, the veterans were asked to put in writing what had triggered

Gabe: Be confident, but know thyself. Almost everyone wants to succeed, but because of success’s abstract nature, it’s hard to pin down how it is obtained. A lot of snippets of advice attribute it to mental preparation, highlighting especially confidence and belief in oneself as the underlying cause of success. An example would be any variant of “If you can dream it, you can do it.” However, like most things, the truth is much

“By judging how well you did in the past, you can understand your readiness for what lies ahead.” — Gabe Magee

more complicated than that. When you face a new challenge, it’s only common sense that doubting a successful outcome decreases your chances of achieving it. But there’s more to mental preparation than that. Confidence helps you visualize a path to that goal, and then reach it. By judging how well you did in the past, you can understand your readiness for what lies ahead. Of course, this does not work if you’ve misjudged yourself or your ability. Consider the backup point guard on a basketball team. As the yearly sub-state tournament is approaching, the starter, whom she usually replaces, is out. The backup reasons that her performance off the bench proves that she can start and lead the team through four quarters, but her confidence is premature and untested. Perhaps she does not do as well as she had thought. Things could go the other way as well. Think

of a boy who doesn’t want to go to a party with friends because he thinks he will be awkward or embarrass himself. He underestimates his social abilities, thinking that he doesn’t have it in him to be outgoing, and misses out on a fun night with his friends. Many teenagers aren’t very good at judging themselves. Some think too little of themselves, some too much, and because insecure people sometimes overcompensate, it’s hard to know which is which. As we begin to examine ourselves more and more, we come to realize when it’s OK to be confident and when it’s better to exercise caution. — Wes Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, is author of “I Always Want to Be Where I’m Not: Successful Living with ADD & ADHD.” Gabe Magee is a senior at Bishop Seabury Academy.

Drinking water is a strategy routinely noted by health professionals as a key approach to addressing the monumental shift in obesity and other health problems. Studies have confirmed the link between excessive consumption of sugary drinks and obesity. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “one study found that for each additional 12-ounce can of soda children consumed each day, the odds of becoming obese increased by 60 percent during 10 years of followup.”

their moral injuries. After a month, the men were divided into two groups to share their stories. When Powell was finished, the men in the room were silent at first. Among them was Carey, who, listening to Powell, felt a connection to someone for the first time in years. Steven Velez was there, too, flashing back to his time as an Army staff sergeant in Afghanistan, when he was too traumatized to help his comrade. He stood and shook Powell’s hand. “You did your best,” he said. “You didn’t do anything wrong.” A year ago April, Powell left OASIS with new tools and hope and friends he could lean on. He was honorably discharged from the Army last August, and found work as a nurse at a home for the elderly in Crescent, but he realized he no longer had it in him to do the job he once loved. He quit and is pursuing a degree in industrial engineering. He spends much of his time on his farmland. Sometimes, he talks to God as he clears the brush around the walnut trees. “I feel peace, redemption when I talk to him out there,” he says. “I know he forgives me.” The amount a person should drink each day varies widely, depending on activity level and other factors, Krier said, but a rule of thumb is about 64 ounces each day for adults. Convincing people to choose water for those 64 ounces is a challenge, Krier said. “You don’t see advertising for water,” she said. “You see advertising for other drinks that help you run faster or be stronger. Water is not crazy, sexy or jazzy like the other things out there.” — The nonprofit KHI News Service is an editorially independent initiative of the Kansas Health Institute and a partner in the Heartland Health Monitor reporting collaboration.

Another superficial freak show In a world where a reality TV star dominates presidential election “news” coverage, there has to be room for a character named Barbie Blank. Blank appears on the new series “WAGS” (9 p.m., E!). For the uninitiated (make that just about everybody), “WAGS” is a recently made-up acronym for “Wives and Girlfriends of Sports Stars.” Technically, that w o u l d make it WAGSS, but I don’t suspect there are too many copy editors in this bunch. The memorably named Blank is engaged to Sheldon Souray, an NHL player most recently associated with the Anaheim Ducks. She’s a player in her own right, having been a WWE personality from 2006 to 12, performing under the moniker(s) Kelly Kelly. With her celebrity background, she’s not the typical WAG. The women featured here have names like Ashley, Autumn, Nicole and Sasha, and are fiercely protective of their well-compensated husbands, fiances and paramours. Like any subculture, WAGS have their own hierarchy, with wives ruling the roost and mere girlfriends seen as gold-digging parvenus. But in the Chutes and Ladders world of celebrity arm candy, the possibility of exile from the Garden of WAGdom is never far from anyone’s mind. Much of the conversation dwells on jealousy, avarice and shopping, roughly in that order. Watching this, I found it difficult not to be struck by a staggering similarity about a certain aspect of these women’s statuesque physiques. I’m not saying that every one of these WAGS has been surgically altered and enhanced. But the show could easily inspire a spin-off. If only the acronym RBWFB (”Real Boobs With Fake Breasts”) tripped more easily off the tongue! O In more jock drama, “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO) features an interview with Rex Ryan, the new head coach of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. Last winter Ryan was fired by the New York Jets, and he will certainly seek payback. Ryan is known for making bold predictions, particularly when his former team was featured on the preseason documentary series “Hard Knocks” (8 p.m., HBO) some years back.

Tonight’s other highlights O A dozen acts perform live on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC). O Rats wash ashore in Massachusetts on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS). O A dog trainer is found slain on “Rizzoli & Isles” (8 p.m., TNT). O Scott Wolf plays along on “Hollywood Game Night” (9 p.m., NBC). O Carolyn’s passions converge as Turing undergoes a dangerous surgery on the season finale of “Proof” (9 p.m., TNT).

Kane able to see progress Objectively projecting a college football team’s performance based on information coming out of fall camp requires using the same filter for tales told at major-league baseball spring training camps. In both scenarios, the teams haven’t lost a game. The injuries haven’t mounted. Athletes injured in past seasons are healthy and ready to go. Young players are a year older and presumably a year better. Experienced athletes spread wisdom. And just about every team looks better than it did when it was last seen ending a season or breaking a camp. Even using the filter that constantly reminds us that training camps inflate optimism by their very nature, I had no trouble believing first-year Kansas University linebackers coach Kevin Kane when he said he feels a great deal better now about the position’s depth than he did in April. Back then, as an experienced, healthy linebacker, junior Courtney Arnick had very little help. It’s only one position group on a team lacking depth in so many areas, but any good news is welcome for a program starting from scratch. Five things needed to happen for the linebacker position to undergo an upgrade from frighteningly thin to adequate. So far, the Jayhawks are 5-for-5. 1. The coaching staff needed to scour the country to identify a linebacker who could graduate with remaining eligibility and woo him to Kansas. That happened in late April, when Marcquis Roberts announced his intention to transfer from South Carolina, where he started 14 games in the past two seasons, to Kansas for his remaining two years of eligibility. 2. Roberts needed to graduate and recover from various injuries in time to establish himself as a veteran presence in practice. He has done so. “Marcquis has done a great job,” Kane said Monday. “I’m very excited about what he can do. He’s a very instinctual football player. He just gets it. There’s not a lot of coaching involved with what he’s able to do. He just reads the plays and finds the football. I’m excited to see him come game day.” Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen called Roberts “a legitimate BCS player.” 3. Local boy Joe Dineen had to bounce back from a torn labrum (shoulder) that kept him out of spring practices and needed to learn a new position quickly. Dineen said he feels 100 percent recovered from the injury and added he likes linebacker because it rewards playing with a “psycho” edge. Dineen played running back, quarterback and safety in high Please see KEEGAN, page 3D

No. 2 prep plans KU visit By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Basketball notes ... Harry Giles, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound senior forward from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, who is ranked No. 2 in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, will visit Kansas University for the Oct. 9 Late Night in the Phog, Giles’ dad told CBSsports. com. Giles, who is from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, also will visit Wake Forest (Sept. 19), North Carolina (Sept. 25), Kentucky for its Big Blue Madness (Oct. 16) and Duke (Oct. 31). There has been talk of a possible package deal between Giles and No. 3-ranked Jayson Tatum, a 6-8 senior forward from Chaminade High in St. Louis who has committed to Duke. The two were roommates at the recent Under 19 championships in Greece, which was won by the U.S. “I’d love to play together, but we have to do what’s right for both of us,” Giles told Yahoo! Sports in July. In late July, Giles spoke to Zagsblog.com about his finalists. Of KU, he said: “Great program. They’re known for developing bigs. Coach (Bill) Self is cool, the coaching staff is really cool, so you can never go wrong with them.” Of Wake Forest, he said: “Coach (Danny) Manning is a great dude. He’s from North Carolina as well. We’re kind of similar. Wake Forest is in my hometown where I live so Wake Forest wouldn’t be a bad deal, either.” l

Lions, Firebirds back at work By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Two weeks after their final summer workout, Free State High’s football players returned to the field just after sunrise for their first practice of the fall season. The Firebirds split into position groups and worked in drills, practicing the fundamentals in both sessions of their two-a-day practices. Free State coach Bob Lisher said the Firebirds have about 58 players this season. “We’re generally around 60-62, so we’re right at normal for us,” Lisher said. “I think we’ve got about 42 freshmen out, which is the most we’ve ever had, so that’s pretty good.” Last year, the Firebirds had an 8-4 record and earned

Ferguson attended KU’s Late Night in the Phog last year as part of an unofficial recruiting visit. He made an official visit to Alabama last week. “I’m going to need to work on a lot and it’s a different level, just one below the NBA,” Ferguson told Rivals.com. “I need to get my body ready and get my mind right. I know that they want me to come in and make an instant impact and that’s what I want to try and do. “I know I can shoot and I’m going to try and go ballistic on the scoring board and do everything I can to help get wins and make a name for Alabama.” According to Rivals.com, Ferguson is the highestranked player to pick the Crimson Tide since Richard Hendrix was No. 9 overall in the class of 2005. l

Pittsford, N.Y. — A person familiar with the decision says the Buffalo Bills have agreed to a contract with free-agent linebacker Quentin Groves. The person spoke Monday night on condition of anonymity because the Bills have not announced the move. ESPN first reported the agreement. Groves is a seven-year journeyman who had three starts in 16 games with Tennessee last season. Groves was selected by Jacksonville in the second round of the 2008 draft.

Ames, Iowa — Iowa State says basketball player Georgios Tsalmpouris is turning pro. Tsalmpouris, a 7-foot-1 center from Katerini, Greece, was a late addition to the Cyclones roster last season. Tsalmpouris was a project for former coach Fred Hoiberg. He played in just eight games as a freshman in 2014-15, averaging 1.4 points. The move was expected after Tsalmpouris returned to Greece this summer. Tsalmpouris’s departure frees up a scholarship for new coach Steve Prohm, who will lose four key contributors following next season.

Oxnard, Calif. — St. Louis Rams cornerback E.J. Gaines will miss the entire season with a foot injury, depriving the secondary of a probable starter. Coach Jeff Fisher confirmed Gaines’ injury and recovery period Monday after the team opened three days of workouts in Southern California.

Chicago (ap) — The National Labor Relations Board on Monday blocked a historic bid by Northwestern University football players to form the nation’s first college athletes’ union, dealing a blow to a labor movement that could have transformed amateur sports. In a unanimous decision, the board said the prospect of union and nonunion teams in college could lead to different standards at different schools — from how much money players receive to how much time they practice — and create competitive imbalances on the field. The new ruling annuls a 2014 decision by a regional NLRB director in Chicago who said scholarship football players are employees under U.S. law and thus entitled to organize. But Monday’s decision did not directly address the question of whether the players are employees. Some observers said the ruling effectively ends any chance to establish labor unions in college athletics.

KANSAS CITY OFFENSIVE TACKLE ERIC FISHER IS LOOKED AT by a trainer during Chiefs training camp Monday in St. Joseph, Missouri.

OL Fisher limps off as Chiefs resume camp St. Joseph, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs have spent all of training camp shuffling their offensive line, trying to use the competition to figure out their best five by the regular season. Perhaps injuries will help them settle things. The Chiefs lost left tackle Eric Fisher to a sprained ankle early in Monday’s practice, and it is unclear how long the former No. 1 overall draft pick will be out. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he would undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury. Fisher was hurt just two days after guard Jeff Allen sprained a ligament in his knee in the Chiefs preseason opener. Allen did not return to practice Monday. “We’re going to keep moving and shuffling until we have five,” said Andy Reid, a former college and NFL offensive-line coach. Wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas (calf strain) and linebackers Josh Mauga (heel) and Justin March (knee), also did not practice, while safety Sanders Commings left the workout with swelling in his ankle. Reid has said that none of those injuries appear to be serious. The offensive line is another story. With the latest injuries to their presumptive starting front, the Chiefs were forced to shake up just about everything. Ben Grubbs remains at left guard, but he’s the only player

on the offensive line who was in the initial five for training camp. Donald Stephenson has moved from right tackle to left, and Jarrod Pughsley — a former undrafted free agent out of Akron — is now the right tackle. Mitch Morse has taken over at center and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has been working out at guard. Grubbs has started 118 games in the NFL. The rest of that line? Fourteen. Reid seems unperturbed, though. He has always taken a “next man up” mentality, and it was no different with his offensive line on Monday. He barely glanced at Fisher as he limped to the sideline, instead focusing on the 9-on-7 drill during which the big offensive tackle was hurt. Besides, some of the other guys have performed well in camp. Pughsley has shown some ability to swing between both sides of the line, and could earn a job regardless of injuries because of his versatility. “He’s had a lot of reps. He hasn’t been short on opportunities,” Reid said. “He had a lot in the game the other night and then again out here.” Morse was the backup center coming to training camp, but he ousted incumbent Eric Kush early on. And while the second-round pick out of Missouri still hasn’t done enough for Jamaal Charles to learn his

name — the star running back keeps referring to him by his number — he did play well in the Chiefs’ preseason game against Arizona. Duvernay-Tardif may be the most surprising name in the mix. He played on defense at McGill University in Canada before switching to the offensive line and has now moved from tackle to guard. But the promising doctor — yes, he was a medical student — showed enough last year to earn a spot on the practice squad. “Everybody is going to work as hard as they can and everyone is going to try and compete for a job,” he said. “There’s a bunch of new guys, and the competition is really high.” Reid did not indicate what offensive line he will go with Friday night, when the Chiefs host the Seahawks. “We’re going to play and try and find that combination of five best guys, whether it’s the guys that are in there now, or injuries or whatever,” he said. “We’re sticking with that.” Notes: The Chiefs signed LB Ja’Gared Davis and waived WR Adam Drake after injuries left them short of bodies in Saturday night’s game. March and Mauga remain out, along with rookie LB D.J. Alexander (ankle). James-Michael Johnson (calf) did return to practice Monday.

Jayhawks searching for starting linebackers By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In the interest of identifying the gap between first- and second-team linebackers at the midway point of preseason camp, Kansas University linebackers coach Kevin Kane has come up with an additional competition for his group this week. Instead of just handing out reps to everyone, critiquing missteps and praising memorable moments, Kane is going to start tracking them all. And he’s going to post them on the wall in the meeting room for everyone to see. In one column will be the good plays. In the other will be the bad plays. No gray area. No room for interpretation. “It turns into a pretty good competition,” Kane said Monday prior to the 11th practice of camp. “When you post it up every day, they’ll start coming into your office saying, ‘Hey, that’s not right.’” Right or not, Kane said the point of the exercise was to create more accountability. And it won’t be something that’s done live. Coaches will review the film after each practice and keep score that way. “We’re gonna tally it up, and guys will know where they stand,” Kane said. “We tally it all up for a game. How many tackles did you have? How many assists? How many mental errors did you have? All that stuff matters.” Although Kane revealed that the battle at linebacker remains an

Hoops KANSAS SPECIAL-TEAMS COACH GARY HYMAN HAS SOME WORDS OF INSPIRATION for his players at Monday’s practice. open competition and that no starting spots had been handed out, he said he had an idea in his head of how the chart would look at the end of the week. Whether it does remains to be seen, but simple math will determine whether the KU linebackers succeeded or failed this week. “This is going back to when I was playing,” Kane said. “Seventy-five percent is average, just like school. If you were to grade out above 85 percent, usually we’re winning. So take that 4-1 mentality, and you better have four goods and one bad.” Sophomore Kyron Watson and junior Courtney Arnick already have pinpointed what it will take to be on the right side of the chart. “With coach Kane, if you do the little things,

he thinks that’ll help you build and become a better player from just the little things,” Watson said. “That’s basically what I’m working on, just the little things. Take them up.” Added Arnick: “I would say he just wants us to play hard and have fun with what we’re doing. It’s a serious sport, and the tempo is pretty real, and the fatigue is real, but we’re out there working, and they just really want us to have fun and also do our jobs at the same time.” Asked how he thought he might grade out during this week’s competition, Arnick gave no predictions but revealed a goal. “It’s pretty much competition within ourselves and setting high standards and high goals,” he said. “I’m trying to be on the positive side.” The fact that Kane is

able to tinker with charts and gimmicks instead of worrying about counting bodies shows just how far the position has come in the past few months. With the addition of South Carolina transfer Marcquis Roberts, the health of junior Schyler Miles and the development and determination shown by young players like Watson, Joe Dineen and Osaze Ogbebor, Kane believes there are enough quality players in his room to deliver what the KU defense needs the linebacking corps to deliver. “This past spring, I thought it was a problem,” he said of depth at the position. “But now that we’ve had guys come in and guys adjust to our system, I feel a lot more confident coming out of fall camp than I did coming out of spring.”

protecting the turf that alumni used to have and, hopefully, that our team is currently trying to protect. “It’s always a thrill to have alumni back, and this is a very willing group. That is very cool that they have taken time out of their busy schedules to come back and give back to the younger players.”

Six members of the 2013 NCAA Sweet 16 team will make their way back to Lawrence — All-Big 12 stars from last year’s senior class, Chelsea Albers and Sara McClinton; 2013 Big 12 Setter of the Year, Erin McNorton; the 2013 backcourt duo of Jaime Mathieu and Brianne Riley; and Catherine Carmichael from that same team.

pickup games with the boys before camp starts. He is expected to make a circus of media day,” writes Gambadoro. “He has told those close to him he can never be happy in Phoenix. That he won’t say a word to any of the Suns’ upper management and will have one-word answers for coach Jeff Hornacek. He will keep things short and simple.” Markieff will be fined if he doesn’t report to training camp. “The Suns as of now have no intention of accommodating the demands of Markieff and may very well call his bluff. He is their starting power forward and is under contract, and so they expect him to perform,”

Gambadoro writes. “But how long can the Suns go with an unhappy player, one who plans to cause problems? Could the Suns end up suspending Markieff? Will they eventually trade him? Will Markieff finally learn to think for himself instead of having his brother do it for him? “How this will play out will be fascinating drama. A spoiled, troubled millionaire athlete, who is not even that good of a player, making demands and promising to wreck the Suns’ season before it even starts. A player who demands a phone call from management but couldn’t call the Suns himself after he was arrested for felony aggravated assault (in case that is still in the courts).” Miami, Toronto and Houston are considered possible trading partners with Phoenix.

National League Cardinals 2, Giants 1 St. Louis — Rookie Stephen Piscotty tripled and scored the go-ahead run on Mark Reynolds’ groundout in the eighth inning, and St. Louis beat San Francisco on Monday night. The run came a little too late for Michael Wacha, who allowed one run in seven innings with six strikeouts but missed a chance to become the majors’ first 15-game winner. Yadier Molina hit his third homer leading off the fourth for St. Louis. The Giants tied it on Brandon Crawford’s twoJeff Roberson/AP Photo out RBI triple in the sixth.

Marlins 6, Brewers 2 Milwaukee — Rookie left-hander Justin Nicolino pitched 62⁄3 solid innings, and Derek Dietrich homered as the Marlins beat the Brewers. Nicolino (2-1) scattered six hits and allowed just two runs in his fourth major-league start. He retired the first two batters of the seventh inning before allowing a two-out double and was replaced after throwing 95 pitches. Milwaukee starter Matt Garza (6-13) pitched two perfect innings to start the game but ran into trouble the rest of the way, lasting only five innings. He allowed five runs on eight hits while striking out two. He set a career record for losses in a season — he was 8-12 with Tampa Bay in 2009.

Padres 5, Braves 3 San Diego — Rookie Colin Rea won his second straight start, and Will Venable hit a two-run single to help San Diego beat Atlanta. Rea became the seventh starter in Padres history to begin his bigleague career 2-0. Odrisamer Despaigne did it last season.

MORE THAN 80 BOYS MADE THEIR WAY TO THE FREE STATE HIGH SOCCER PITCH for the first day of fall-sports practices on Monday at FSHS.

Fall sports CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

a trip to the Class 6A state semifinals. Expectations remain high with plenty of familiar faces. “I thought that we had a great summer for the most part,” Lisher said. “It got a little slow toward the end.” Lawrence High’s football team, which has about 95 players in the program, enters the season with about 18 returning starters and sky-high expectations. “Man, I couldn’t sleep last night,” LHS senior JD Woods said. “I was up all night checking the time. But I’m excited to be back out knowing we have high expectations and a good group of guys returning. I’m excited to see what the season has for us.” A change this season is when teams can start practicing with full contact. Schools were only allowed helmets on Monday and will add shoulder pads without contact on Tuesday. They won’t be able to tackle players to the ground until Friday.

Volleyball Lawrence High volleyball coach Stephanie Magnuson recognized every face in the gym the first day of tryouts following a summer full of workouts. About 50 girls showed up on Monday, which is about normal from past years. “There wasn’t a face at tryouts that I hadn’t seen at some point during the summer,” LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said. “So that says a lot of the commitment of the kids.” The Lions opened their tryout for non-freshmen with a conditioning test on the track outside before moving into the gym. First-year Free State coach Amy Hoffsommer had the first day of tryouts stretch a little longer than expected as coaches evaluated players in both the main and auxiliary gymnasiums. “It’s exciting. I’m really anxious to get started,” Hoffsommer said. “It feels like it’s almost a flow from the summer at this point because we haven’t made the cuts yet (and) we’re still dealing with where does everybody go? But it’s fun. We’re here. It’s starting.” The Firebirds had 19 freshmen and about 35 more players at the first day of tryouts, which will lead to about a dozen cuts.

Barah estimated 85-90 percent of them showed up during offseason workouts, but he will have to cut about 20 players. “To look a kid in the eye and say we don’t have room for you is always hard to do,” Barah said. “It is very tough, especially with some of the kids who came in through and did the offseason conditioning and everything else.” Lawrence High’s boys soccer team had a conditioning test with a 1.5 mile run, along with plenty of stations on the field inNFL Preseason Thursday, Aug. 20 cluding 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 Detroit at Washington, 6:30 p.m. drills.

12-328-1.02. Intent. a. The intent of these regulations is to avoid additional costs for home owners upon annexation and to minimize losses due to floods or flood waters by provisions designed to: 1) Prohibit the placement of fill, materials, and structures which would obstruct flood flows and decrease the carrying capacity of the regulatory floodway unless it can be demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. 2) Require structures in the floodplain and public utilities vulnerable to floods be provided with flood protection at the initial construction stage. 3) Protect individuals from the purchase of lands rendered unsuitable for intended uses by their proximity to floodplain. 4) Minimize public expenditures for flood control projects and damage to public improvements within the floodplain. 5) Maintain property values adjacent to the floodplain and minimize flood blight areas. 6) Assure eligibility for property owners in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. 7) Ensure that development is reasonably safe from flooding.

Attorneys for Petitioner ________

No. 2014 PR 149 Division 1

b. These regulations are designed and intended to be administered in a manner which will: 1) Restrict or prohibit uses dangerous because of water and erosion hazards or which will result in undue increases in erosion, flood heights, or velocities. 2) Control grading (fill or excavation), dredging, and development which may unduly increase the potential for flood damage. 3) Require that uses protect private and public investments by requiring floodproofing. 4) Control alteration of floodplains, stream channels and natural barriers which accommodate or channel floodwaters. 5) Prevent or regulate construction of barriers that unnaturally divert flood waters or cause increased flood hazards. Construction in floodplains should be directed to the outer limits of the Floodway Fringe before it is allowed to encroach further into the regulatory floodplain. 2. Amendment to Section 12-328-3 of the Zoning Regulations. Section
