School construction prompts safety concerns By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Construction crews put up protective fencing around the construction site at New York Elementary School this week following an accident last week in which an 8-year-old boy was seriously injured while playing in the area. Still, people who live and work in the East Lawrence neighborhood have begun complaining about the lack of safety precautions being taken since construction began several months ago. “That construction zone has not been properly secured for most of the time it’s been under construction. It may be that they’re finally getting around to it,” said Eric Kirkendall, who

Residents worried after accident at New York School works at the Lawrence Creates Makerspace in the 900 block of New Jersey Street. New York Elementary, 936 New York St., is one of several Lawrence schools undergoing major expansion and renovation as part of the district’s $92.5 million bond project that voters approved in 2013. On Aug. 13, 8-year-old Max McGill suffered what was described as a traumatic head injury after falling at the construction site. Police said he had wandered into the construction site during his play time while he was being supervised by a babysitter.

Gene Meyer, longtime president and CEO of Lawrence Memorial Hospital, on Wednesday announced his plans to retire from the hospital. Meyer, 63, who has been in his LMH leadership role for 18 years, will end his tenure in May 2016. “I have had a great career working with associates who are Meyer committed to helping others,” Meyer said in a press release announcing his retirement. “The past 18 years have been incredible working in Lawrence as the CEO.” Meyer credited a strong leadership team with the hospital’s success and noted that many of the team members had been with him for close to all of his 18 years at LMH. He praised the team for its role in the hospital winning national recognition for the past three years from Truven Health Analytics as one of the Top 100 Hospitals. LMH also was recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review by making its list of 100 Great Community Hospitals for the past three years. “You don’t win these things alone,” Meyer said, referring to awards on display at the Wednesday morning Board of Trustees meeting. “You do it with a great team. And my team is exceptional.” Please see LMH, page 2A

4 arrested after police pursuit with helicopter, two K-9 units By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

Four men are in custody after Lawrence police — with the aid of their two K-9 units and a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter — searched for them Wednesday morning in the west Lawrence area near the Orchards Golf Course, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said. Around 4 a.m., dispatchers received a report of several men with their faces covered outside an apartment in the 1300 block of Westbrooke Street, McKinley said. The caller suspected that the group was preparing to commit a robbery. When a responding officer arrived on scene, four people ran in different directions in an apparent attempt to flee police. More officers arrived to pursue the suspects, and found two weapons — one a semi-automatic rifle — that the suspects allegedly dropped as they ran away, McKinley said. Please see PURSUIT, page 2A

Pursuit

Caston James Coleman, of Lawrence, was booked into the Douglas County Jail just before 3 p.m. Wednesday in connection with the incident. Coleman was booked on suspicion of aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit a crime, according to jail booking logs. Lawrence public schools spokeswoman Julie Boyle said rumors of school lockdowns in response to the search were false. At least three police vehicles, including one Patrol Service Dog vehicle, were seen at the Orchards Golf Course around 4:30 p.m. All vehicles had left again by 4:50 p.m. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, police had apprehended all four suspects in the case, McKinley said. Officers continue to investigate the incident.

The Kansas Highway Patrol helped early on in the pursuit, providing a helicopter to aid in the search around 5:15 a.m. Both of the Lawrence Police Department’s Patrol Service Dogs, C.B. and Kai, were also called out to assist in the search, McKinley said. About 5:40 a.m., Journal-World partner Operation 100 News reported that one suspect had been taken into custody and was being questioned by police. McKinley said that while officers continued to investigate throughout the day, the on-the-ground search for suspects ended around 7 a.m. One man, 18-year-old

Max’s father, Joe McGill, told the JournalWorld that his son was able to attend school Wednesday for the first day of class of the new school year. But the incident has raised questions about the school construction sites, especially now that classes have resumed for the 2015-2016 school year. Until recently, inspections at the sites were being conducted by Douglas County at no charge to the district. That was done so the district would not have to pay the standard inspection fees that the city of Lawrence charges, which would have totaled $285,000. But the county recently was forced to suspend that service when the key inspector who had been working on the schools’ project resigned to accept another job. At its July 27 meeting, the Lawrence school board approved spending $49,400 to hire three outside firms to provide inspections at the construction sites. Kirkendall and several East Lawrence residents also spoke during the public comment portion of Tuesday night’s Lawrence City Commission meeting to complain about what they said was a lack of public notification that the New York school project also includes a large parking lot. He and others who live in the 900 block of New Jersey said they are concerned that lot will also be used by the general public, including at night by people going to and from establishments in the nearby Warehouse

LMH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

He said he took pride in many accomplishments during his time at LMH, but the first thing that came to mind when asked what he was proud of was the support the people of Lawrence show for LMH. “There is so much community support right now, and that’s something I’m really proud of.” He also recognized the oncology program at LMH and the staff of the hospital when reflecting on points of pride. “These are really talented people,” he said, and not just of the senior staff. “This is really a good group of people, and the tenure of the staff is a really good indication that these people are committed to a career in health care, and that says a lot.” Rob Chestnut, chairman of the LMH Board of Trustees, congratulated Meyer at Wednesday’s board meeting. “I have a lot of confidence in this organization and its ability to move forward and be successful in the future, and it’s a tribute to what you’ve built and the people you’ve built around it,” Chestnut said. Meyer is widely credited with helping lead a turnaround of the finances of the not-for-profit hospital. When Meyer was hired, LMH had posted financial losses, said Janice Early, the hospital’s longtime vice president of marketing and communications.

Arts District. Scott McCullough, director of the city’s Planning and Development Department, said his department reviewed all of the site plans for the projects. The school district also held numerous public meetings at each of the buildings and with neighborhood groups to present site plans and discuss concerns about the project. Kirkendall said he did not attend the meeting at New York Elementary because he understood the purpose was only to discuss the building expansion and renovation, not the overall site plan that included a parking lot. McCullough also said that under city construction codes, protective fencing would be required at projects like the one underway at New York Elementary. Lawrence school district spokeswoman Julie Boyle, however, said the school projects are being inspected based on international building codes. “Construction site safety, including fencing, is the responsibility of the contractors per their contracts,” Boyle said in an email Wednesday. Combes Construction, LLC., of Bucyrus, is the contractor on the New York Elementary School project, Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll said. Doll said in an email that the safety of students is the “first priority” of the district. “All school construction projects have been inspected for quality and code compliance and approved for occupancy,” Doll said.

Boy out of hospital after falling at site An 8-year-old boy who was seriously injured in a construction area at New York Elementary School last week is out of the hospital, his father said. Max McGill, of Lawrence, was at the elementary school’s playground with a babysitter on the morning of Aug. 13 when he wandered off into a construction area at the school. There, Max fell and suffered a “traumatic head injury,” Capt. Anthony Brixius of the Lawrence Police Department said last week. Max was taken by air ambulance to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., following the accident. On Tuesday, Max’s father, Joe McGill, said his son had suffered a broken nose, collar bone and rib. The accident also collapsed the top portion of both of Max’s lungs. McGill said Max had been released from the hospital but was still “in a lot of pain.” Max was well enough to attend the first day of school on Wednesday. McGill said Tuesday he planned to help his son out at school because of the boy’s injuries. “I’m going to carry his bags,” Joe McGill said. “We’ll get through it together.” —Caitlin Doornbos

People choose LMH today. That was Gene’s message and vision. He wanted LMH to be the best community hospital.”

— Janice Early, Lawrence Memorial Hospital vice president of marketing and communications

“When Gene came to LMH it was going through some really challenging times in the community,” Early said. Under Meyer’s tenure, LMH has consistently posted revenues that exceed expenses. In 2014, the hospital had revenues that exceeded expenses of about $11 million, which the hospital used to reinvest into capital improvements or build cash reserves. Early said the financial success has come because Meyer built strong community support. “People choose LMH today,” Early said. “That was Gene’s message and vision. He wanted LMH to be the best community hospital.” The LMH board of trustees plans to launch a national search for Meyer’s replacement in the near future, and will hire a consulting firm to help in the search, Early said. During Meyer’s tenure, LMH’s total patient visits have grown from nearly 85,000 visits in 1997 to 211,289 in 2014. In 18 years, LMH has reinvested more than $201 million back into the hospital for expansion and improvements. There have been more than 200,000 square feet in new construction, in-

RIC AVERILL AND KIRSTEN PALUDAN ARE PICTURED on the set of the Lawrence Arts Center’s upcoming “Cowboy Cabaret.” The honky-tonk variety show, slated for 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Arts Center, is the original creation of Paludan and her Starhaven Rounders band, who will host and perform as the show’s in-house band. Averill and his wife, Jeanne, will also perform in the show.

THE COWBOY WAY —————

Arts Center’s ‘Cabaret’ a country music variety show with a Lawrence twist By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

f you don’t consider yourself a fan of country music, it may be time to take a fresh look at the genre. You just might be surprised, says Kirsten Paludan, whose nine-piece country band, Starhaven Rounders, is headlining the Lawrence Arts Center’s production of “Cowboy Cabaret” this weekend. Billed as a “honky-tonk variety show,” the two-act performance will blend toe-tapping renditions of classic songs (with a few original tunes thrown in) and comedy in the tradition of “Hee Haw” and “The Porter Wagoner Show.” “A lot of people like oldschool country music and don’t even know it,” says Paludan, who developed “Cowboy Cabaret” with her bandmates at the Arts Center’s request. “We experience this all the time, whenever I’m with the Rounders. We play in Kansas City once a month, and people will come to us saying, ‘I didn’t think I liked country music, but I heard you guys playing it and now I’m on board.’” Paludan, who grew up in Lawrence and studied English literature at Kansas University, can relate. Country music, she admits, wasn’t part of her family’s musical repertoire. But she does remember watching a few episodes of “Hee Haw” as a kid. Her production — which also features performances from Jeff Stolz of Drakkar Sauna, Tess and Maria Cuevas of Maria the Mexican, and Foxy by Proxy burlesque troupe founding member Scarlet

Harlot, to name a few — calls back to the Southern-fried comedy show while remaining firmly in the 21st century. “It’s paying homage to the classics but with an update,” Paludan says of “Cowboy Cabaret.” Unlike “Hee Haw,” the Arts Center’s production will feature more topical humor, poking fun at Lawrence-centric topics like the current state of Kansas politics, for example. Ric Averill, the Arts Center’s longtime artistic director of performing arts, will provide much of the show’s comedic bits with his wife, Jeanne, between musical performances. He boasts some pretty impressive ties to country-western royalty — if only through Jeanne, who grew up in northwest Arkansas and just happens to be a distant cousin of legendary country singer Porter Wagoner. “When I was in college playing the classical violin, I went down there to visit her family,” Averill recalls from the set of “Cowboy Cabaret,” a four-string banjo resting in his lap. “Her uncle said to me, ‘You know what that is? That’s a fiddle. You should really play that.’ So, he taught me to play some fiddle tunes.” Averill, who describes the Arts Center’s production as “the Grand Ole Opry, Lawrencestyle,” says the “Cowboy Cabaret” should appeal to older folks who grew up listening to its timeless tunes as well as newcomers to the country genre. While sticking mostly to “the classics,” a few performers will showcase original material or,

IF YOU GO What: “Cowboy Cabaret” Where: Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday Cost: Tickets are $10 for regular seating and $40 for VIP seating, which includes a VIP reception with the cast before the show and a swag bag. Tickets can be purchased online at lawrenceartscenter.org, at the Arts Center box office or by calling 843-2787. in the case of Jeff Stolz, rework “Mountain Woman” by the Kinks into a country-western song. Even the least country-savvy out there will probably recognize songs on the program, Paludan says. Right now, that includes selections from Johnny Cash, George Jones, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and “You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn — that last one should “give you a sense of the tone” of “Cowboy Cabaret,” Paludan says.

emphatically indicated a basis for her termination as the fact that, ‘She just doesn’t go to church.’” Rucker was served Aug. 7 with the lawsuit, which names the office of the secretary of state and Rucker as defendants, The Topeka CapitalJournal reported. Secretary of State Kris Kobach told The Wichita Eagle in an email that the lawsuit is baseless and that Canfield was fired for poor job performance. “The suggestion that Mr. Rucker, or anyone else at the Office of the Secretary of State, monitored employees’ church attendance is ridiculous,” Kobach said in the email.

Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat who also will be involved in the decisions, said the four Republicans are injecting politics into the discussion.

Canfield is a Methodist but didn’t regularly attend church services or “otherwise practice any particular religious beliefs in any way,” according to the lawsuit. Canfield was promoted in June 2013 to a full-time position as a filing specialist in the business division of the secretary of state’s office. The lawsuit said shortly after she was hired, Canfield was invited by one of Kobach’s administrative assistants to attend a religious service in the secretary of state’s office. The service was to be officiated by David DePew, pastor at the Kansas State Capitol, the lawsuit said. Canfield declined. “Participation in these religious services was by invitation only,” the complaint says. “These invitations were distributed during normal business hours and included a ‘prayer guide’ to be utilized at that week’s service.” The lawsuit said Canfield didn’t attend the services “despite the repeated invitations.” The lawsuit also said

that in November 2013, one of Canfield’s colleagues complained about Canfield using a deputy secretary’s office telephone to make a personal call. Canfield said she took the call in that office to discuss a medical matter in private. Court documents say that same day, Rucker left a telephone message for Canfield’s grandmother, Margie Canfield, a longtime administrator with the Kansas Republican Party. Her service since 1999 was interrupted in 2007 when dismissed by Kobach, then chairman of the Kansas GOP. She was rehired in 2010. In Rucker’s telephone message, he asked to speak with Margie Canfield and arrived at her Topeka home at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 15, 2013. He told Margie Canfield “she needed (to) terminate plaintiff despite the fact that she had no direct authority over her employment,” the lawsuit claims. Three days later, Rucker told Courtney Canfield she had been terminated, according to the lawsuit.

The letter asks the districts to provide the additional information by 5 p.m. Friday. The Associated Press obtained a copy shortly after the State Department of Education distributed it. The letter was signed by House Speaker Ray Merrick, of Stilwell; Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, and the chairmen of the Legislature’s two budget committees, Sen.

KU student dies in Colo. car crash By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

As Kansas University students return to campus for fall classes, the KU community will be missing Noah Graham. Graham, who would have been a sophomore this year, according to KU, died this month in a car accident in Colorado, where he was from. Graham was a student in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with a pre-business focus, according to KU. “On behalf of the entire KU community, I offer my

sincere condolences to Noah Graham’s family and friends as they mourn this tragic and heartbreaking loss,” KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement. Graham, 19, of Centennial, Colo., died Aug. 4 after the SUV he was riding in lost control on a curve, Trooper Josh Lewis of the Colorado State Patrol said. The accident happened just before 6 p.m. on Interstate 70 near Loma, an unincorporated community between Grand Junction and the Utah border. The SUV left the road-

way and rolled approximately two and a half times, Lewis said. Graham, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected, Lewis said. The two other men in the vehicle with Graham, both 19-year-old Colorado residents, were wearing seat belts, Lewis said. He said the driver suffered serious injuries and the other passenger suffered moderate injuries. Lewis said the Patrol was still investigating what caused the crash. Graham’s funeral was Thursday in Centennial.

formula for distributing more than $3.4 billion in aid, replacing it with grants based on districts’ aid during the last school year. The Hutchinson district and three others are challenging the changes in a lawsuit before the state Supreme Court and also arguing that Kansas doesn’t spend enough money on its schools. Ryckman and other Republicans who drafted the new funding law argue that it provides stable funding and predictability for both districts and the state. But critics note that it doesn’t automatically adjust a district’s aid to account for changing conditions, such as an

The law sets aside the extra funds for student enrollment increases, to cover unexpected drops in local property tax revenues and to address other unanticipated needs. Hensley said asking districts to detail past efficiencies goes beyond the law and it’s “an implied threat.” “It’s saying, ‘You’d better come up with information that we want, or else you’re not going to get your funding,’” Hens-

But David Smith, spokesman for the Kansas City, Kan., district, which has the largest request of more than $2 million to address enrollment increases, said it is taking the letter “at face value.” As for producing a list of five efficiencies, Smith said, “We could probably give them 50.” The four GOP leaders wrote that it is important that the extra dollars are available for districts that “truly have an extraordinary need.” “We want to see what they’ve done in the past that can be shared with other districts,” Ryckman said. “It could be good, useful information.”

‘Evocateur’ remembers Downey Jr. CNN presents “Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie” (8 p.m.). Presented with limited commercial interruption, this 2012 film recalls Downey’s meteoric rise as a syndicated talk show host in the late 1980s and his lasting influence on television, pop culture and politics. Downey was not the first talk show host to introduce political vitriol and a brazenly unbalanced approach to his “interview” style. The documentary cites the example of Joe Pyne, a flamethrowing television host from the 1960s. What Downey and his producers introduced was the participation of a raucous studio audience into the mix, a group that Washington Post television critic Tom Shales called “a hockey audience” in a contemporary review. It’s interesting to compare the irrational crowds in Downey’s audience to the mobs depicted on the current HBO miniseries “Show Me a Hero,” set in the late 1980s, the very time of the host’s success. Downey toyed with the resentments and rage of his largely white audience, stoking racial fears for entertainment value. While some decried the vulgarity of the spectacle and the decline of televised discourse, Morton Downey Jr.’s show was really a professional wrestling match disguised as a talk show. The anger was as manufactured as the fight was fixed. Charges of fakery killed Downey’s ratings and his fourpack-a-day cigarette habit eventually ended his life in 2001. But his gimmicky antiintellectualism endures on any number of talk radio shows and cable “news” shout-fests.

Moving ahead The Lawrence City Commission is taking steps to regroup and move forward.

fter a chaotic week, Lawrence city commissioners came together Tuesday night and took some positive steps toward regaining the community’s confidence. First, the three commissioners elected in April unanimously chose Mike Amyx to fill the mayor’s seat at least through next April. Vice Mayor Leslie Soden, who served as acting mayor after the resignation of Jeremy Farmer last week, could have asserted her right to the mayor’s seat, but graciously and wisely did not. “I’m very much interested in doing what is best for the city,” she told the Journal-World. “Experience, continuity, predictability is what is best for the city right now.” Commissioners Matthew Herbert and Stuart Boley agreed with that assessment and joined Soden in electing Amyx to the mayor’s job. Accepting his sixth term in that job, Amyx immediately showed the steady leadership that is needed right now. He noted that the commission needed to move forward immediately on the process of appointing a new commissioner and continuing its search for a new city manager. Although some commissioners had said the process of selecting a new member could take 60 or 90 days, Amyx suggested the appointment should be made within about 30 days so that the new commissioner could be involved in the city manager search. He also set forth a reasonable process for selecting a new commissioner that calls for each sitting commissioner to appoint three members to a task force that will review applications and interview candidates. That task force also will work with the Voter Education Coalition to set up public forums with the potential commissioners. This process is more involved than that followed by the commission the few times it has filled a vacancy or even that followed by the Lawrence school board in filling two recent vacancies. The formal process is intended to build public confidence in the commission and the new member it selects, which is fine, but Amyx also is right that completing that process in 30 days is important to allow the commission to get on with important business. At Tuesday’s meeting Herbert noted that the three commissioners elected in April had campaigned on the need “to restore trust in the commission” and that recent events have caused the commission to take “a step backwards” in achieving that goal. That’s true, but commissioners should be congratulated for taking a step forward on Tuesday by electing Amyx and setting a more expedient timetable for appointing a new commissioner.

Because monuments are public art, they should, Lewis says, be “legible.” Hence, societies have traditionally resorted to triumphal arches, temples, colossal columns and obelisks, not because they are ancient but because they are timeless. The classic vocabulary of monuments looks backward: The Jefferson Memorial, Lewis notes, makes us think not of 1940 but of Jefferson. Hence Frank Lloyd Wright, modernist and egotist, detested it.

Clutter on the Mall Nowadays, monuments are, Lewis says, “discursive, sentimental, addicted to narrative literalism.” The Franklin Roosevelt Memorial, completed in 1997, is, Lewis notes, “preachy” and a “cross-pollination of a diorama with a Madame Tussauds wax museum. Even FDR’s dog Fala is pantingly immortalized in bronze.” There is talk of a “digital ememorial” at the Eisenhower Memorial, presumably to translate Gehry’s understanding of his masterwork for understandably bewildered visitors. Washington’s Mall and its environs, one of the world’s most elegant urban spaces, is becoming cluttered with commemorative bric-a-brac dispensed by Congress that can be called “recognition pork barrel,” mollifying this and that constituency’s clamor for acknowledgment of this or that. Eisenhower certainly merits a memorial, but one consonant with his astonishing achievements and Midwestern unpretentiousness. — George Will is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Monuments eclipse lives Michael J. Lewis, a professor of art at Williams College, notes that Gehry’s proposal fails for the same reason the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial does. King, an orator, is depicted with his lips sealed, stern and almost dour, his arms stolidly crossed. The Eisenhower and King that America knew disappear. Lewis suspects that if Gehry were asked to define a monument he would say: A monument is not a thing but a process — an open-ended conversation in which various constituencies bring different interpretations to different forms. This theory is an incitement to architectural grandiosity that eclipses the lives memorialized.

that is built and designed today is pure s—-.” Gehry has prospered during his ordeal at the hands of people with tastes less refined than his: His firm has pocketed $16 million so far from work on Ike’s nonexistent memorial. Several panels of “experts” — about what? — have given their imprimatur to Gehry’s undertaking, perhaps in order to resuscitate the hope of getting him to apply his ennobling touch to the nation’s capital. Ten years ago, the Corcoran, Washington’s oldest private art gallery, abandoned plans for Gehry to build a new wing, a proposal also begun in 1999. It too came to naught, even though, for a while, visitors entering the Corcoran walked past what The Washington Post called a “celebratory video” titled “Mr. Gehry Goes to Washington.” Not yet; ideally, never.

To the editor: The new K-9 unit is ratcheting up the war on drugs. Dogs “typically help with a drug call at least once per shift that they work.” (Journal-World, Aug. 16) As a result, more citizens will enter a system that punishes the sale of marijuana more than it does some cases of violent crime. Let’s look at two cases in plea bargaining. 1) A man rapes a woman. He faces a 155-month prison term. The DA can offer the defendant a reduction from “rape” to “attempted rape” in exchange for a guilty plea without a trial. Attempted rape carries 59 months, a reduction of 96 months. Before we look at the next case, let’s note that the penalties for any level of offense range along a spectrum. These figures represent the middle of each range. Other things being equal, this example shows how the two ranges compare, according to a public defender who works with these cases. The DA can chose which level to

offer, but penalties for each level are fixed by law. 2) A man sells any amount of marijuana over 30 kg. The punishment is 156 months. If the DA offers to reduce his charge from “sale” to “attempted sale,” the sentence will be 150 months, a reduction of only six months. That’s 96 months potential reduction for rape versus six months for selling marijuana. Do we really want the city to use these expensive dogs to enforce this kind of injustice? Craig Voorhees, Lawrence

From everything we know, read and witness, the whole world is crying out for the love of God. World War II was the most homedestroying event in history. America was tragically unprepared for its devastating fruitage. Why are people afraid to talk about God? “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) J. Clarence Ford, Lawrence

Talk about God To the editor: The anti-abortion letters in Thursday’s paper are greatly appreciated. Life is an awesome treasure! The God who alone can give life is the world’s salvation. The fact that there is not a human living that God does not love is totally amazing, but it is a fact. When we are forced to kill to maintain order in God’s universe, it breaks our hearts and crushes our very souls.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 20, 1915: years “Bearing a tale of ago murder and robIN 1915 bery by hoboes in a freight car on the Union Pacific line near Perry, Kansas, last night, John Mulerich, a Polish railway laborer, was picked up by Officer McKissack, of the Lawrence police force, in the Union Pacific yards in North Lawrence this morning about 8 o’clock. Mulerich says that he left Topeka yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock and started to walk to Kansas City. At about 7 o’clock in the evening he approached a small station, the name of which he does not know, and stepped off the track near a passing train. When the train stopped at the station a hobo leaned out of a box car and invited John, who is a native of Austrian Poland, to come into the car and ride. John says that he was suspicious and at first refused to go in but was finally urged by the tramps and jumped into the car.... ‘There were three men inside the car,’ said the Pole at the sheriff’s office this morning, ‘and as I entered, one of them ... pulled a gun and shot at me. The bullet passed through the shoulder of my coat and grazed my mouth.... I fell over, I was so scared,’ John continued, ‘and the bullet passed on and hit one of the other robbers in the breast. He must have been killed instantly, for the other two picked him up and dumped him out the door of the train and into a ditch beside the railway. I guess he’s lying there yet. We all stayed in the car until we reached the next high ball (hobo lingo for flag station), and there we saw two brakemen coming. The men had already taken all the money I had except three cents, and when they saw the trainmen they grabbed hold of me and tried to make me run with them as we jumped from the car. I got away, however.... He left Austria, he says, to keep out of the wars and the army, and in this country he finds no wars but plenty of shooting. ‘This is an awful world,’ he said sadly, today.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

JAMES FOLEY’S DEATH WILL HAUNT ME ALWAYS Philip S. Balboni GlobalPost

Editor’s note: Philip Balboni is the CEO and founder of GlobalPost, where Jim Foley was a correspondent. BOSTON The horrific murder of our correspondent and friend Jim Foley by the Islamic State a year ago Wednesday still haunts the memories and hearts of his family and colleagues. The savagery of Jim’s death profoundly shocked people everywhere and directly led to the United States’ deeper military involvement in Syria’s civil war, a conflict that has no end in sight despite the deaths of 230,000 people and the displacement of 9 million. Much has been written and broadcast about Jim’s death since last Aug. 19: what led up to it, the failure of the U.S. government to do more to save him or to help the Foley family and the families of the other American hostages, and the responsibility of news organizations to journalists who work in conflict areas. I led GlobalPost’s effort to find and free Jim, a struggle that spanned about 20 months. Today, for the first time, I want to offer my own full perspective on this tragedy and try to draw some lessons for the future. Jim was kidnapped Nov. 22,

Jim was kidnapped Nov. 22, 2012, a cruel irony since it was Thanksgiving, a day of family celebration and coming together.

2012, a cruel irony since it was Thanksgiving, a day of family celebration and coming together. As a war correspondent, Jim was accustomed to missing holidays, although he was deeply devoted to his large family. On that Thanksgiving, Jim had wrapped up a reporting tour in northern Syria and was headed to the Turkish border town of Reyhanli where he planned to meet his friend, freelance photographer Nicole Tung. Jim’s last message as a free man was sent to Nicole at 2:15 p.m. local time from an Internet cafe in the small town of Binnish. Jim was traveling with British journalist John Cantlie, who is the last identified Western hostage still held by the Islamic State. Sometime after 3 p.m., Foley and Cantlie, along with their driver and their translator Mustafa Kara’ali, were pulled over by four men in a silver Hyundai without license plates. Brandishing Kalashnikov rifles and firing shots in the air, the men pushed Cantlie and Foley to the ground, briefly questioned the driver and translator before releasing them, then took their captives away. I learned of Jim’s kidnapping two days later, just after noon Saturday at my home in Cambridge, Mass., when I received an email from Nicole who was alarmed when Jim did not arv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

TERRY BYRNE AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

INDIANAPOLIS Jared Fogle, the former Subway sandwich pitchman who shed his obesity en route to becoming a cultural icon for weight loss and the “Subway diet,” will spend at least five years in prison for abusing 12 children and having sex with two others during jet-setting trips around the country. Court documents released Wednesday confirmed that Fogle, 37, has struck a deal with federal prosecutors that will send him to prison and also require him to pay $1.4 million to his victims. Fogle, of Zionsville, Ind., commissioned the executive director of his charity to produce pornography using at least a dozen underage victims, THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR one as young as Jared Fogle 6, the charging documents say. Fogle also jetted to New York City to have sex with at least two underage teenage girls, court papers said. “This is about using wealth, status and secrecy to illegally exploit children,” U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said. And Fogle repeatedly made his travel plans for sex to coincide with his business trips, according to the charging documents. Fogle first appeared in a Subway ad in 2000 after losing 245 pounds on his Subway diet in 1998. He created his non-profit Jared Foundation to raise awareness about childhood obesity in 2004. Celebritynetworth.com says his net worth is estimated to be $15 million. He married for the second time in 2010. His wife, Katie McLaughlin Fogle, said Wednesday she is filing for divorce. “My focus is exclusively on the wellbeing of my children,” she said through lawyers. She and Fogle have two children together. In court Wednesday, Fogle nodded and spoke softly responding to questions from U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Dinsmore asking whether he understood the charges and proceedings. Prosecutors agreed to seek a sentence no greater than 12½ years though the judge ultimately will decide Fogle’s sentence. Fogle agreed not to seek a sentence of less than five years. Subway effectively ended its relationship with Fogle on July 7 after investigators raided his home.

Regal theaters may search moviegoers’ bags at the door Chain says it wants patrons, staff to feel safe Maria Puente USA TODAY

Regal Entertainment Group, the nation’s largest movie theater chain, has quietly added a security protocol, warning moviegoers that their bags and backpacks may be searched. The move comes in the wake of recent theater shootings. Regal, which has about 7,300 screens across the USA, acknowledged the potential inconve-

nience for moviegoers. “Security issues have become a daily part of our lives in America. Regal Entertainment Group wants our customers and staff to feel comfortable and safe when visiting or working in our theatres,” the chain’s website says. “To ensure the safety of our guests and employees, backpacks and bags of any kind are subject to inspection prior to admission.” Movie lovers may not be that bothered — they’re already subjected to searches at airports, sports arenas, theme parks and museums, says Paul Dergarabedian, senior analyst for entertainment research company Rentrak.

“Moviegoers have become so accustomed to having these types of security measures enacted in all kinds of public spaces, from theme parks to sports venues and rock concerts,” he says. Keyshia Smith, 23, said having her bag searched at Regal Cinemas Gallery Place 14 in Washington was a surprise she didn’t appreciate. “I feel like it’s an invasion of my privacy,” she said. “But I guess with times like these, you have to do that now.” A gunman killed two moviegoers in a theater in Lafayette, La., last month. This month in Nashville, a man attacked theatergoers with pepper spray and a

hatchet; the attacker was shot and killed by police. In 2012, a gunman killed 12 people and injured 70 in an Aurora, Colo., theater. Jeff Bock, box office analyst for theater industry research firm Exhibitor Relations, predicted the policy would lower the anxiety of theatergoers but could pose other problems.

“Implementing this is probably a good idea,” he said. “But it seems undercooked. How is this going to work? The protocol needs to be defined. “It’s a pretty big thing to ask for 16-year-old employees to search through bags for possible firearms. This kind of changes the duties of a theater employee from making popcorn and sweeping floors to basically being a lowrent security guard.”. Regal officials wouldn’t comment to USA TODAY, so it’s unclear when the policy changed. Contributing: Bryan Alexander, Andrea Mandell and Tyler Pager

rive for their rendezvous. From that day forward, we encountered utter silence for an entire year. Not a single message from Jim. Not a single sighting. Not a single piece of intelligence that held up to investigation. Despite an enormous effort mounted by GlobalPost and the Foley family, we had run into an impenetrable blank wall. To this day, we still have no credible information about who the original kidnappers were. Within a week of Jim’s kidnapping, GlobalPost had trained investigators on the Turkish-Syrian border and, despite considerable risk, inside Syria itself. Our investigation continued every day until Aug. 19, 2014, the day Jim was murdered by the Islamic State. The ordeal spanned 636 days. Over the winter and spring of 2013, evidence from multiple sources accumulated by our investigators pointed to Jim being held by the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad at a Damascus detention center under the control of Syrian Air Force Intelligence. Individuals inside Syria offered to secure Jim’s freedom in exchange for a substantial sum of money, something the family seriously considered. Other sources placed Jim in a private villa outside Damascus allegedly under the control of shadowy figures connected to the regime. All of this eventually proved to be false, and more agonizing months passed with no real progress. Then, suddenly, we found Jim, nearly a year after his kidnapping. On Nov. 9, 2013, the father of a young Belgian who had gone to fight with jihadists in Syria left a voice message for Michael Foley, Jim’s brother, an integral part of our investigating team. The man said his son, Jejoen Bontinck, had spent time with Jim in a secret prison in Aleppo and they’d grown close. His words rang clear: “Jim is alive.” Could we trust him after so many false leads? We sent our top investigator to Antwerp to interview Bontinck in the jail where he was held by Belgian authorities, who suspected him of being a terrorist. The information he provided about Jim was so rich in detail that it could have come only from someone who’d spent considerable time with him. For the first time, we could be sure Jim was alive. Ironically, Bontinck placed Jim back in Aleppo, the location of his last report for GlobalPost, published Oct. 16, 2012. For Jim, war was always personal, and his stories focused on the people and their suffering. Aleppo was a battleground in the fall of 2012 — as it remains today. Jim foreshadowed the horrors to come when he wrote that “many civilians here are losing patience with the increasingly violent and unrecognizable opposition — one that is hampered by infighting and a lack of structure, and deeply infiltrated by both foreign fighters and terrorist groups.” At 7:51 a.m. on Nov. 26, 2013, an email arrived addressed to Michael Foley and me. The email read precisely this way: “we have james and want to negotiate for him he is safe. He is our friend and we do not want to hurt him if you want coperation (sic) we have rules. You can not go to media ever about this and if you do we will not negotiate. we want money fast.” Amazed but still skeptical, we asked ourselves: Was it possible that after the passage of an entire year filled with silence, Jim’s kidnappers were at last communicating with us? The kidnappers gave the Foley family a chance to ask three questions to prove Jim was alive. The family worked hard to craft questions that only Jim could answer and that no one could research from the Internet or social media. When all of the questions came back with the right answers, we felt the exhilaration of knowing Jim was alive and we had a chance to win his freedom. But the kidnappers issued demands impossible to meet. They said, “Use your influence to pressure your government to release our Muslim prisoners.” We were certain that would never be permitted. As an alternative, they wanted a ransom of 100 million euros, equivalent at the time to more than $120 million — an im-

Responses to all the kidnappers’ emails were prepared with the assistance of the FBI and GlobalPost’s kidnap and ransom experts. Each effort to begin a serious negotiation with the captors was rebuffed, and two days after Christmas, they sent “the final message you will receive from us.” Again, they demanded a ransom of 100 million euros. The Foley family wrote several additional emails to the kidnappers in coming months, pleading for Jim’s release. No response came back. We waited through the winter of 2014 and by the spring, the Islamic State began releasing European hostages. Most, we would learn, had been held with Foley and Cantlie in a detention center in Raqqa, a city in eastern Syria that had become the group’s new headquarters. The release of the Spanish, Italian, French and Danish hostages gave us hope that Jim’s turn would come soon. All of the released hostages were ransomed

I have had weak and strong days. We are so grateful when anyone is freed but, of course, yearn for our own freedom. We try to encourage each other and share strength.” Two months later, Jim was dead at the hands of his captors. Very few people in an entire lifetime have to experience the events the Foley family and I did during the course of Jim’s abduction and captivity — and that is a very good thing indeed. If any good can come out of this, it will be by applying the lessons we learned over those 20 months and since. Although GlobalPost and the Foley family had extensive contact with the U.S. government almost from the beginning of our search, we were left on our own, forced to carry the full weight of the investigation. During the first year of Jim’s captivity, when we

It is widely believed that governments made the ransom payments, although there has been no direct admission of that by any official or former hostage. I believe it is almost certainly the case. The hostages gave us valuable information about Jim, his condition and treatment. He was mistreated, even tortured on a few occasions, but Jim’s spirit was always strong, and he was seen as a leader in the group who always looked out for others. The final Western hostage to be freed by the Islamic State was Daniel Ottosen of Denmark on June 19, 2014. Ottosen spent 13 months in captivity with Jim, and the two grew close. Before his release, Jim dictated a letter to Daniel to be given to his family. It would be the only message from Jim to come out of that prison cell. Ottosen memorized it and brought it out with him. “I know you are thinking of me and praying for me,” Jim said.

were never sure whether he was alive or who was holding him or where, the U.S. government did virtually nothing to assist us in the search, and it never provided any information about Jim even though we stayed in frequent contact with the State Department and the FBI. I felt certain that given the U.S. government’s vast intelligence resources, it must possess important information about Jim. Although most of that information would have been classified, it was wrong to give the family nothing at all. Different U.S. government agencies offered contradictory signals about whether a ransom payment for Jim would be tolerated. Diane Foley, Jim’s mother, has openly criticized a threat made by an official of the National Security Council during a private hostage family conference call in the spring of last year. Yet the FBI made it clear to us that the government would never prosecute a family member for paying a ransom; and equally important, the FBI made it clear

NATION/WORLD CALIFORNIA DROUGHT COSTS $2.7 BILLION IN 2015 Dry spell dehydrates farming, but water reserves delay worst Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Like the rest of the class, they’re ready for ‘good food and sleep’

he drought in California will cost the state’s economy $2.7 billion this year and nearly 21,000 jobs as the fouryear drought continues in the nation’s most populous state, according to a new study from the University of California-Davis. The biggest hit comes in agriculture, which will lose $1.84 billion this year, the study said. The rest comes from ripple effects across the state’s economy. Almost half of the job losses — 10,000 — are in seasonal agriculture jobs. In addition, the drought will force 542,000 acres to lie fallow, nearly all in the Central Valley. This year’s economic loss is greater than last year’s $2.2 billion cost, according to the study released late Tuesday. Despite the drought, the state’s agricultural economy remains strong, mainly because of California’s huge, but shrinking, reserves of groundwater. Those reserves offset the shortage of surface water in the state’s reservoirs, the study said. “We’re getting by remarkably well this year — much better than many had predicted — but it’s not a free lunch,” said lead author Richard Howitt, a UC-Davis professor emeritus of agricultural and resource economics. “If a drought of this intensity persists beyond 2015, California’s

agricultural production and employment will continue to erode,” said study co-author Josué Medellín-Azuara, a water economist with the UC-Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. While a large amount, $2.7 billion is still a small fraction of the state’s total agriculture economy. California farmers and ranchers currently earn more than $46 billion annually in gross revenues, a small fraction of California’s

$1.9 trillion-a-year economy, according to UC-Davis. This year’s economic loss from the drought is similar to the estimate from global reinsurance firm Aon Benfield, which was not involved in the UC-Davis study. “This remains in line with our current expectations,” Aon Benfield meteorologist Steven Bowen said. “While there has been slightly more rainfall for the state in the last several weeks, it has been merely a drop in the bucket for what California needs to truly pull itself out of this drought abyss,” Bowen added. “There remains lots of uncertainty as to how 2016 will play out, but El Niño should provide some much welcome relief in parts of the West,” he said.

Klobuchar on Iran, Cuba and lessons as a carhop

Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who announced last week that she would support the Iran nuclear deal, says it is increasingly likely President Obama will have the votes he needs to sustain a veto of congressional legislation that tries to block it. It probably will be a victory won without the support of a single Senate Republican, just the sort of partisan divide she decries in a new book, The Senator Next Door: A Memoir from the Heartland, published next week by Henry Holt. “It’s an anti-Trump book,” she says, about avoiding the sort of blistering rhetoric and political posturing that makes it hard to forge alliances across party lines to get things done. Two senior Senate Democrats have announced opposition to the deal — Charles Schumer of New York and Bob Menendez of New Jersey. Klobuchar is one of two dozen Democratic senators who declared their support. ConWASHINGTON

gress is likely to pass a resolution of disapproval, which Obama vowed to veto. The White House would need 34 Senate votes or 146 House votes to sustain a veto. “Even (Senate Republican Leader) Mitch McConnell is saying it’s getting tougher and tougher to override a veto,” Klobuchar says. “The tide is moving” toward support amid fierce lobbying. “In terms of the intensity of how people felt about it,” she says, “I don’t remember anything quite like this.” She is more optimistic about the prospect of bipartisan action to lift the trade embargo against Cuba, especially if restrictions on travel by Americans to the island are eased. “Once those tens of millions of Americans come into

Cuba, the impetus for more foreign investment, from hotels to telecommunications to food ... that is going to make a major difference,” she tells USA TODAY’s weekly video newsmaker series. “My fear is if we wait too long, pretty soon those American tourists will be sleeping in Spanish hotels and eating German food.” She acknowledges “the logistics on the Hill aren’t easy.” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Menendez, both Cuban Americans, staunchly oppose lifting the embargo and serve on the Foreign Relations Committee. Menendez also is a

member of the Banking Committee, which has oversight on the legislation as well. A Pew Research Center Poll last month found almost three in four Americans support lifting the embargo. “It’s not out of the realm of possibility we get this done in the next year or the next two years,” Klobuchar says. “I do think this is just a matter of ‘when,’ not a matter of ‘if’ anymore.” Klobuchar, the daughter of a longtime columnist for the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, has a reporter’s eye for an anecdote. In her 356-page book, she writes about lessons learned as a carhop at an A&W Root Beer stand, where her uniform included a close-fitting T-shirt that urged patrons to “Take home a jug of fun.” She says, “I have met many a woman who remembers wearing those shirts and many a man who remembers seeing them.” The book is threaded with tougher lessons, including dealing with her father’s alcoholism and her daughter’s serious medical problems at birth. “These things that seem like obstacles, they’re always a path,” she says.

The two female soldiers who will graduate this week from the Army’s legendary Ranger School were identified Wednesday as Capt. Kristen Griest and 1st Lt. Shaye Haver. In a statement, the families of Griest and Haver said the two want to celebrate as a team with their class and asked for privacy. Griest, 26, from Orange, Conn., and Haver, 25, from Copperas Cove, Texas, will graduate Friday at Fort Benning in Georgia and will get to wear the coveted Ranger tab, a mark of distinction throughout the Army. They will not be able to serve in the Ranger regiment because of a ground combat ban for women. “CPT Griest and LT Haver are just like all the soldiers in Class 815 — happy, relieved and ready for

some good food and sleep,” the family statement said. “Like everyone who will pin the tab on Friday, they are exceptional soldiers and strong teammates.” The Army has not released the names of the two women. Griest and Haver are the first women to complete the course — the Army’s most physically challenging — since it was opened to them on an experimental basis this year. They 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. Haver, a 2008 graduate of Copperas Cove High School, excelled in soccer and cross-country, according to her hometown newspaper, the Copperas Cove Herald, and The Killeen Daily Herald. “It’s just completely amazing,” Chris Haver said of his daughter’s accomplishment, according to the Associated Press. “I’m super proud. I know a lot of guys that have been through it and tell me how hard the course is. They tell me it’s the toughest, most mentally demanding course they’ve been to.”

IN BRIEF COST, COVERAGE NOT SET FOR “LITTLE PINK PILL”

The drugmaker behind the “little pink pill” that aims to boost women’s sex drive wants its medication to be just as accessible to patients who need it as Viagra is for men. Cindy Whitehead, CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals of North Carolina, says the company hasn’t yet set the price of flibanserin, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration this week and will be marketed under trade name Addyi. But Whitehead says she expects “parity coverage” from insurers, meaning if they pay for the erectile dysfunction drugs, they should pay for Addyi. — Laura Ungar LOUIS STOKES, OHIO’S 1ST BLACK CONGRESSMAN, DIES

After the first “Free the Nipple” rally Aug. 7 in which dozens of people shed their shirts to protest unequal laws and the sexualizing of women’s bodies, many individuals were offended. Still, a second topless rally is planned for downtown Springfield on Sunday. But come Monday, a city councilman will present a bill to make similar displays illegal. However, events specifically on Park Central Square, like the “Free the Nipple” rallies, will not be affected. City Councilman Justin Burnett originally expressed his concern at an Aug. 10 council meeting, and plans to put forward a bill to change the city’s current indecent exposure ordinance. His bill defines indecent exposure as exposing the “female breast below a point immediately above the top of the areola, for the purpose of sexual arousal or gratification or which is likely to cause affront or alarm.” The part of the bill that explains the situations in which exposure would be indecent — particularly the part about it being “likely to cause affront or alarm” — is vague to some. “There is no easy way to prove (it),” City Attorney Dan

MONEYLINE INFLATION SLOWED IN JULY AS PRICES ROSE 0.1% Inflation slowed in July after sharp increases the previous two months, the government said in a report that stopped short of giving the Federal Reserve the evidence it has been seeking to raise interest rates. The consumer price index edged up 0.1%, the Labor Department said Wednesday, below economists’ estimate of 0.2%. Core prices, which exclude volatile food and energy costs, also increased 0.1%. Economists expected a 0.2% rise. Last month, gasoline prices increased 0.9% and food prices rose 0.2%. The report could be key in helping the Federal Reserve decide whether to raise its benchmark interest rate next month for the first time in nine years.

LOWE’S PROFIT UP BUT FALLS SHORT OF ESTIMATES Home-improvement retailer Lowe’s reported profits grew 8.4% in the second quarter, but the results fell short of Wall Street expectations. Lowe’s posted net earnings of $1.13 billion, or $1.20 a share, up from $1.04 billion, or $1.04 a share, from the same period a year ago. Analysts expected $1.24 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Sales at stores open at least a year rose 4.3%. That performance trailed the industry average of 4.6% for the quarter. Lowe’s shares closed up 1.9% at $74.37. Rival Home Depot on Tuesday posted earnings that beat expectations and raised its profit outlook for the year.

Wall Street analysts read between the lines of Fed minutes Adam Shell

A September rate hike from the Federal Reserve could still happen but is far from a sure thing. That was the general consensus of Wall Street pros following the release Wednesday of the minutes from the Fed’s July meeting, in which the nation’s central bank was non-committal on a firm timetable for its first interest rate hike in almost a decade. In a key portion of the text, the Fed said that “conditions for policy firming had not yet been achieved.” But the Janet Yellen-led Fed included a caveat, adding that GETTY IMAGES “conditions Fed Chair Janet were approach- Yellen may again rate hike, ing that point.” delay analysts predict. “Investors were focused on the minutes to see if there was any clear signal that they would be moving in September, but I don’t think we got that,” says Don Ellenberger, head of multi-sector strategies at Federated Investors. Stocks traded erratically after the release of the minutes. The Dow Jones industrial average, down nearly 230 points earlier in the session, briefly climbed back into the black following the minutes, but then turned down again. The Dow, which was hurt by a nearly 5% drop in oil to a new 61⁄2-year low, closed down 163 points, or 0.9%, to 17,349. The Fed reiterated that it would still like to see more evidence that the economy and job market were “sufficiently strong” for them to feel “reasonably confident” that inflation would get back to 2%. But given fresh information since the Fed’s July 28-29 meeting that could keep a lid on inflation — ranging from sinking commodity prices to a strengthening dollar, as well as questions surrounding the health of China’s economy — there’s a good chance the Fed will hold off on rates until later in the year, Ellenberger says. Not long after the minutes’ release, futures markets were predicting only a 38% chance of a September rate hike, Ellenberger noted, down from 48%. The fact that the Fed expressed fresh worries about inflation and “downside risks” from “developments abroad” suggests that a September rate hike might “not be a go” after all, says Anthony Valeri, an investment strategist at LPL Financial. “Investors can breathe a sigh of relief.” NEW YORK

Subway in trouble before Jared Fogle mess Lost its long-held No. 2 spot last year Hadley Malcolm and Kaja Whitehouse USA TODAY

The troubles surrounding Subway’s longtime spokesman Jared Fogle couldn’t have come at a worse time for the sandwich maker. After a meteoric rise to become one of the nation’s largest fastfood chains, Subway has been suffering from falling sales and declining customer satisfaction amid increased competition. Last year, for the first time ever, it lost its long-held spot as the nation’s second-largest restaurant chain by sales to Starbucks, according to research firm Technomic. And now the brand’s most public face has been tar-

Jared Fogle began doing Subway ads about 15 years ago.

nished by criminal charges. Fogle appeared in court Wednesday on charges of traveling for sex with minors, and for receiving and distributing child pornography. “Jared Fogle is agreeing to plead guilty to the charges filed against him today,” said Fogle’s attorney, Jeremy Margolis, in a statement. Fogle, famous for losing about

245 pounds on a diet of Subway sandwiches in college, also crossed state lines to pay for sex with minors, prosecutors said. “We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment,” Subway wrote in a tweet Tuesday. The scandal comes ahead of Subway’s 50th anniversary next week and as the chain seeks to beat back rising competition from fast-food sandwich makers, like Chick-fil-A, as well as fast-casual restaurants like Chipotle. The competition resulted in a 3.3% sales decline at Subway last year, to $11.9 billion from $12.3 billion in 2013 — marking the largest loss across the restaurant chain industry, as tracked by Technomic. The sales drop pushed Subway out from the nation’s No. 2 largest restaurant as measured by sales to the No. 3 slot, according to Technomic’s 2015 Top 500

Chain report out in March. Starbucks stole the No. 2 slot. McDonald’s remains No. 1. Whether Jared’s tarnished reputation will affect sales this year remains to be seen, but experts say it can’t help. “They’ve already been struggling, and with what we have seen with the negative publicity around Jared, I think that isn’t going to help,” says Darren Tristano, executive vice president with Technomic. “It very likely is going to have some negative impact.” Subway’s ascent to the top was boosted by its early image as a healthy fast-food option, spurred in good part by Fogle, who began starring in ads for the company about 15 years ago. The sandwich shop became the nation’s fourthlargest restaurant chain by sales in 2007, and then jumped past Wendy’s and Burger King in 2008 to take the No. 2 slot, according to Technomic data.

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

Housing, one of the bright spots on Wall Street in 2015, will get another chance to build on its recent momentum when data on existing home sales for July are released Thursday. Housing data have come in strong recently, giving housingrelated stocks a lift and shining a positive light on a key part of the U.S. economy. July housing starts rose 0.2% to a better-than-expected annualized pace of 1.206 million units — the best reading since October 2007. A similarly strong reading on a housing index that measures homebuilders’ sentiment also pointed to strong momentum in the housing market. Indeed, the National Association of Home Builders said

Target’s profits are, well, right on target again Q: Can I gain from a Target revival? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Target is showing it’s the big-box retailer with promise. The company is making progress in getting its mojo back — and investors are taking notice. Shares of the retailer inched up Wednesday after the company reported better-than-expected adjusted profit for the fourth consecutive quarter. Target reported an adjusted profit for the quarter ended July 31 of $1.22 a share, beating expectations by a definitive 9%. The fact Target’s profit beat expectations is in stark contrast this week with Walmart, which came up short. Investors seem to be more enthusiastic about Target than analysts, so far. Shares of the stock are up 37% over the past 12 months, strongly out-performing the roughly 6% gain by the Standard & Poor’s 500 during the same time. So far this year, shares of Target are up roughly 6% — while the market is up a bit more than 1%. Despite these big gains, though, the average Wall Street analyst rates Target shares a “hold,” which is about as negative as the street will get on a big stock. Analysts also say they see the stock hitting $83.86 a share in 18 months, which, if correct, would be just 4% higher than current levels. The key will be if Target can boost long-term growth by more than the 10% expected.

Target sees dollar signs as turnaround strategy pays off Hadley Malcolm USA TODAY

Target’s (TGT) turnaround strategy under CEO Brian Cornell appears to be paying off, with the retailer reporting secondquarter earnings well above Wall Street expectations Wednesday. Target also said that sales in certain priority categories are on a steady uptick. Cornell, who came to Target last August, has been trying to reinvigorate the retailer’s merchandise and presentation when it comes to fashion and apparel, baby, kids and well-

ness. As a group, those categories saw same-store sales grow three times as fast as the company average in the second quarter.

The retailer reported net income of $753 million, or $1.18 a share. Adjusted earnings, excluding some items, came in at $1.22 a share. That was above analyst expectations for $1.11 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Sales were $17.43 billion, up 2.8% from the same quarter a year ago, and beat estimates for revenue of $17.39 billion. “We’re very pleased with our second-quarter financial results, as traffic growth, strong sales in our signature categories and continued expense discipline drove better-than-expected profitabili-

ty,” Cornell said in a statement. Sales at stores open at least a year, a key retail metric, grew 2.4%, helped by growth in those core categories. Earlier this year, Cornell and other Target executives outlined a roughly $2 billion plan to grow the business with more efficient operations and a more compelling mix of products, such as reupping its status for having fashionable and trendy apparel. “We’re confident we’re focused on the right strategies because we are starting to see our guests respond,” said Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan on a call with

media. Mulligan will move to the post of chief operating officer in September, while Cathy Smith, a former executive with Express Scripts and Walmart International, will become CFO. Target has invested in upgraded store presentation, particularly for apparel, where the brand is in the process of rolling out mannequins. Swim and denim were standouts in the quarter, Mulligan said, due to better presentation and the fact that the brand changed the fit and fabric of its denim. Target shares finished up 0.73% Wednesday.

With a Friend like him, you watch your back Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Rupert Friend says he encountered road rage recently driving in Germany, when an aggressive motorist cut him off, pulled over and jumped out of his car before recognizing the actor. “It was like ‘OK, here we go.’ The driver came walking over to start a fight,” Friend says. “But he got one look inside my car and just went right back to his.” Smart move, random driver. Despite the Brit’s non-threatening last name, 6-foot-2 Friend has become the go-to actor for smoldering danger as CIA black ops agent Peter Quinn in Showtime’s Homeland. He has just turned it up a notch on the big screen as a genetically engineered killing machine in Hitman: Agent 47 (in theaters Friday). “I really wouldn’t know what to do in those (road rage) situations, but I do play these characters,” the self-deprecating Friend, 33, insists. “People say I have a

scary face. I find that to be a mixed compliment.” Most focused on Friend’s clearly handsome features after his breakout Mr. Wickham character in 2005’s Pride & Prejudice alongside Keira Knightley, his girlfriend until 2011. Friend also starred as the dashing Prince Albert alongside Emily Blunt’s Queen Victoria in the 2009 period drama The Young Victoria. Friend took a lethal career turn after being offered a scene in Homeland as the mysterious Quinn. “It might look like some incredibly complicated map to get from English period films to American action antiheroes, but it’s about not having a plan,” he says. Agent 47 director Aleksander Bach says Friend felt like a natural fit for Hitman, the film adaptation of the video game series. “But the most important thing is that with Rupert you feel the intelligence,” Bach says. Friend studied the Krav Maga fighting style, trained with a

world champion boxer, learned Filipino knife fighting and “a little judo.” He gave himself the closest possible buzz cut each morning and performed many of the film’s stunts. Friend is particularly proud of a scene from the trailer, where he thigh-snaps a Marine guard’s neck, a feat he performed “like 65,000 times for the camera.” “There’s not a cheat,” Friend says. “You get pretty familiar with someone because you’re thrusting your crotch into his face multiple times.” There will be more action in Homeland’s fifth season, which jumps forward two years and is still shooting in Germany. Local drivers, beware: Friend says his Krav Maga instructor had him spar with a guy the size of Rocky’s Apollo Creed. “It was this enormous guy carved out of wood. We went toe-to-toe. I got a beautiful, big black eye and good bruises,” Friend says. “But I put him on his back, that’s the main thing.”

KU FALL SPORTS MEDIA DAY

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Which Kansas unit has edge? The new football coaching staff at Kansas University doesn’t deny the Jayhawks have a long way to go with so little time left before the start of the season. For a change, instead of comparing how the team looks compared to the 12 opponents on one of the nation’s most difficult schedules, let’s take a look at which side of the line of scrimmage is closer to looking as if it at can compete for big chunks of games. Across the country, number of returning starters on each side of the ball commonly is referenced as an indicator of how things look. For the sake of clarity, we’ll call any player who started at least half of KU’s 12 games a returning starter. Right tackle Larry Mazyck (nine starts) and center Joe Gibson (seven starts) are the lone returning starters on offense, although at least for the moment, Keyon Haughton, who lost his job to Gibson after five games last season, appears to rank atop the center depth chart. On defense, returning starters are ends Ben Goodman (12 starts) and T.J. Semke (six) and nickelback Tevin Shaw (eight). Semke will play plenty, but likely will be replaced in the starting lineup by juco transfer Damani Mosby. Both sides of the ball lost plenty to graduation/early departure and/or dismissal. All three players chosen in the NFL Draft (Ben Heeney, JaCorey Shepherd, Dexter McDonald) came from the defense. Still, the offense lost the leading passer (Michael Cummings), leading rusher (Corey Avery) and top six producers in reception yardage (Jimmay Mundine, Nigel King, Nick Harwell, Avery, Tony Pierson, Justin McCay). Three positions important to the goal of scoring points — center, quarterback and field-goal kicker — have held back the Jayhawks in recent seasons, and the competition for the starting spot at all three appears ongoing. Cozart (five career touchdown passes, nine interceptions) leads juco transfer Deondre Ford (28 touchdown passes, 33 interceptions in two seasons at Dodge City Community College). The two junior QBs received a vast majority of the snaps in Saturday’s closed scrimmage. True freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis still have their training wheels on and don’t appear to be in contention for playing time at the start of the season. That doesn’t mean things can’t change as the season progresses, but for now they aren’t in the competition. Haughton leads Gibson, sidelined because of injury during the spring, at center.

‘Unprecedented’ Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photos

KANSAS UNIVERSITY VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS, FROM LEFT, TAYLER SOUCIE, TIANA DOCKERY AND CASSIE WAIT make fun of their pictures in the media guide during KU’s fall sports media day on Wednesday.

Volleyball aims for fourth NCAAs By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

If everything goes according to coach Ray Bechard’s plans this fall, Kansas University’s volleyball program will accomplish something it never has before. Accordingly, the Jayhawks have heard and seen a lot of one word in the days leading up to their 2015 season. “Unprecedented” has left Bechard’s lips, shown up on KU-produced paraphernalia and basically become embedded in the brains of the players, because the Jayhawks expect to reach the NCAA

Tournament for the fourth season in a row — a feat unheard of since the team made its debut in 1975. As Bechard pointed out, senior Tiana Dockery, a three-year starter, could become the first player in program history to participate in the NCAAs four times. “I think when you start talking about players playing in the NCAA Tournament their entire career, then you start to develop some momentum within your program, you start to develop some tradition, and you’re starting to build your brand,” said Bechard, whose teams

have reached the postseason in six of his 17 years at KU. “And that’s very important for us as we come off a really nice season last year to continue to do that.” Junior libero Cassie Wait considers the opportunity to reach a new program milestone a blessing, and said she looks up to many of the Jayhawks who played for KU before her, including Brianne Riley, Caroline Jarmoc, Erin McNorton and Jaime Mathieu. Because of KU’s previous recent success, Wait added, things that once were considered goals have become the new standards.

“Once you make things a standard, they almost become precedented,” the 5-foot-8 junior from Gardner said. “Then the unprecedented seems possible.” Bechard’s group might be able to do something special this season with plenty of talent returning from 2014’s 22-9 squad. At outside hitter, KU has Dockery, sophomore Madison Rigdon (a part-time starter last season), senior transfer Ashlyn Driskill from Wichita State and freshman Ashley Smith, of whom the coach expects much in Please see VOLLEYBALL, page 3C

Soccer fueled by 2014’s finish By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University soccer coach Mark Francis concedes most people would view the Jayhawks’ 2014 season as a success. KU, after all, won eight more games than it had the previous year, finished third in the Big 12 and reached the NCAA Tournament. When Francis thinks about last season, though, the 17thyear KU coach first reflects on its less-than-memorable finish. Kansas, which won 14 of its first 15 games, dropped out of first place in the Big 12, lost five of its final six

contests and got bounced from the postseason by the program’s old rival from the SEC, Missouri, at Rock Chalk Park. “We really feel like we let down,” Francis said, “and didn’t achieve what we could’ve done.” Ranked No. 23 in the NSCAA Coaches Poll, the Jayhawks, who return seven starters from last season, don’t want to settle for relative success. “Our goal this year is to cross the line,” Francis said, using the team’s slogan for 2015, “meaning we’ve got to Please see SOCCER, page 3C KU soccer coach Mark Francis

For runners, there’s no place like home By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

KU cross country coach Stanley Redwine

The runners on Kansas University’s cross country teams should be quite familiar with Rim Rock Farm by season’s end. For the second straight season, the Jayhawks will host three meets at their home course, including the NCAA Midwest Regional. KU will also open the season with back-to-back home meets: the Bob Timmons Dual Classic on Sept. 1 and the Rim Rock Classic on Oct. 3.

“The thing we’re excited about is that in order for us to make it to the NCAA, we have to do well at home,” Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said while addressing reporters at KU fall sports media day. “We are hosting the regional meet this year — one of nine in the U.S. They take the top two teams automatic and then add teams at-large from there. If we can’t get motivated this year to run well at home when the time comes, we haven’t done our jobs.” Senior Jacob Morgan, who was the Big 12 men’s new-

comer of the year after joining the Jayhawks from Colorado State, was the lone NCAA qualifier from the KU men’s and women’s teams combined after placing seventh overall with a 10,000-meter time of 30:17.6 at last year’s regional meet in Peoria, Illinois. The Topeka native was not expecting to be the Jayhawks’ No. 1 runner for the majority of the season, but Morgan was forced to step up with Evan Landes sidelined for the season due to injury.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Returning kickers sharp By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A couple of returners appear to be in good shape as they battle to keep their special-teams jobs with Kansas University’s football team. Talking with the media a few hours before Wednesday’s practice, first-year head coach David Beaty said place k i c k e r Matthew Wyman and punter Eric Kahn had looked sharp during pres e a s o n Wyman camp. “I’ve really been impressed with Wyman’s kickoffs,” Beaty said. “He’s got a strong leg. That guy can be a major weapon for you. And most of those good teams I’ve ever been around have had a good kickoff guy. It’s hard to cover kicks this day and age.” As for Wyman’s role as the Jayhawks’ place kicker, the junior who made nine of 15 attempts in 11 games in 2014 is involved in quite a battle with newcomer Nick Bartolotta, a 5-foot-6, 190-pound juco transfer whom coaches and teammates call “Yoda.” “Bartolotta has been re-

ally accurate,” Beaty said. “Wyman is right there with him. That’s an interesting battle that we’ve got going on. Wyman’s probably got a little bit of a stronger leg, and Yoda’s probably a little more accurate, but not by a whole lot. It’ll be interesting to see how that thing plays out.” In the battle at punter, 2014 back-up Eric Kahn is trying to hold off Hawaii transfer R u b e n Guzman, and Beaty said one aspect might de- Kahn cide the competition. “If we can get those guys consistent, they can change the field for us,” he said. “Eric Kahn, that dude can hit it. He’s got a strong leg. When he gets his technique down and he hits it, man, it goes. Same thing for the Guzman kid.”

King coming along He was unable to scrimmage over the weekend because of his late arrival, but University of Miami (Florida) transfer Corey King, a 6-foot-1, 295-pound defensive tackle, has pleased his new coaches

during his first couple of days in pads. “When you watch him in drills, you see he really explodes out, and he’s got good feet,” D-line coach Calvin Thibodeaux said. Added Beaty: “I’m very impressed with him. We’re just trying to get him in shape to play in a tempo-type defense. It’s not normal for a lot of people, but he’s getting there, and he’s a tough dude. I like him a lot.” Despite having to play catch-up in conditioning, Thibodeaux said he did not anticipate King having any trouble being ready by the Sept. 5 season opener. “It ain’t like he’s far off,” Thibodeaux said. “(Guys are) ahead of him, but when he hits the sled it makes a different noise.” Beaty said the D-tackle position had been better than he expected at this point and singled out Kapil Fletcher, Daniel Wise and Jacky Dezir for strong play. Thibodeaux went a step farther when talking about Wise, who has added roughly 15 pounds since the spring. “If I was ranking my inside guys right now, based on what I’ve seen, Daniel Wise would be the No. 1 guy,” Thibodeaux said.

Ford focus Beaty was asked Wednesday where juco transfer Deondre Ford figured into the quarterback race that also includes junior Montell Cozart and true freshmen Carter Stanley and Ryan Willis. “He’s just one of the QBs right now, really,” he said. “... He’s getting the same amount of reps as the rest of those guys. He’s doing some good things, but he’s also learning the system.” Semke still sizzling He came out of nowhere to play an important role on the KU defensive line last season, and he has not given up any ground since. Senior defensive end T.J. Semke, 6-2, 248 from Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North High, continues to operate as a player coaches cannot keep off the field. “He doesn’t look like the rest of those guys,” Beaty said. “But he certainly plays hard, and I love his motor. He’s gonna find a way to get to ya. I gotta wear his (butt) out every day because he’s touching the quarterback, and I want him to stay away from him.” Added Thibodeaux: “He’s earned everything he’s gotten here, and he’s done a great job.”

HOOPS NOTEBOOK

Michael Lee lands prep job By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University guard Michael Lee is new head coach at Portland’s Roosevelt High. Lee, who was a member of KU’s 2008 NCAA title coaching staff as a graduate student-manager, played at Portland’s Jefferson High, along with former KU standout Aaron Miles. Lee, a 2005 KU graduate (in sociology) who played in two Final Fours, also is male leadership coordinator at Self Enhancement, Inc., in Portland. “I love the game, and I love kids. Quite honestly, I have a lot of experience, and I want to pass it on to these youngsters,” Lee, former assistant at University of San Francisco and Gardner-Webb, told the Oregonian newspaper. His playing career included stops in France and Canada and with the Harlem Globetrotters. “Kids are active, and they want to move, so we’ll have a style conducive to moving,” Lee added to the Oregonian. “At Jefferson and Kansas, the Globetrotters and even

Europe, we were getting up and down the floor, and that’s what I like to play.” “I’ve had good teachers in coach (Roy) Williams and coach (Bill) Self,” Lee told the Journal-World, referring to the two men he played for at KU. “Learning the process from them at that level ... how much guys get pushed Lee and how much studying goes into the game, watching film. That’s what I try to impart to kids as much as they want to listen. We don’t force-feed them.” In his role as male leadership coordinator at Self Enhancement, Inc., Lee helps “groups of student leaders make fundamental changes in their environment by working on issues affecting their lives (i.e., gangs, drugs and alcohol, and violence).” He is “responsible for assisting the student groups nurture and exercise their leadership skills through activities and special projects.”

Self hits Wall: Self, Wisconsin’s Bo Ryan and Fred Hoiberg of the Chicago Bulls, who were in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Wednesday for a golf tournament and speaking engagement, were captured on Twitter visiting the Sanford Pentagon. It’s a state-of-the-art, 3,250-seat indoor arena that opened in September 2013. The three coaches had their names added to the building’s Wall of Fame. Iowa State will play Colorado in the facility on Nov. 13, with Oklahoma State to tangle with Minnesota on Dec. 12. Wichita State met Memphis in the arena last season. In 2013-14, the building hosted Wisconsin and St. John’s. l

Kentucky lands prep forward: Sacha KilleyaJones, a 6-10 senior forward from Virginia Episcopal in Lynchburg, Virginia, on Wednesday orally committed to Kentucky. Killeya-Jones, who is ranked No. 51 nationally by Rivals.com, chose UK over KU, Florida, North Carolina, N.C. State and others.

NBA raid continues: College freshmen will continue to dominate the next two NBA Drafts, according to draftexpress. com. Six of the first seven picks in the 2016 draft are projected to be one-and-done college players. Top four projected picks are: Skal Labissiere, Kentucky; Ben Simmons, LSU; Jaylen Brown, Cal; and Brandon Ingram, Duke. Dragan Bender of Maccabi Tel Aviv, who is currently 17, is projected to go No. 5; followed by Jamal Murray, Kentucky, and Malik Newman, Mississippi State. KU freshman Cheick Diallo is projected to be selected No. 15 and sophomore Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk 17. Nine of the top picks in the 2017 draft are projected to be current high school seniors. They are: Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, Dennis Smith, Josh Jackson, Markelle Fultz, De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, Stephen Zimmerman and Edrice Adebayo. Draftexpress.com says the 10th pick will be 17-year-old Rodions Kurics of Latvia.

plays a big role in Kane’s optimism. The cornerback duo of McDonald and Shepherd can’t be replaced by newcomers either. High school players and juniorcollege talents inevitably face difficult adjustments to the pass-happy Big 12. Elsewhere in the secondary, Shaw, safety Fish Smithson and safety Bazie Bates IV, a juco transfer, can move and know how to make hits hurt. Defensive end ranks as the team’s deepest,

most talented position. Mosby and Athony Olobia have the physical skills to develop quickly into speed rushers off the edge. Goodman and Semke are tough, driven and experienced forces. Quarterbacks aren’t likely to have as much time to find a receiver as in recent seasons. Two weeks and two days shy of the season opener vs. South Dakota State, Kansas appears to have a slightly better defense than offense.

CINCINNATI’S JASON BOURGEOIS, RIGHT, DIVES SAFELY back to first base as Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer applies the tag in a 4-3 Royals victory on Wednesday in Cincinnati.

Royals complete sweep of Reds Cincinnati (ap) — Lorenzo Cain had a tiebreaking RBI single in the second inning, Ben Zobrist had four hits, and Kansas City benefited from a Cincinnati base-running gaffe as the Royals beat the Reds 4-3 Wednesday night to complete a twogame sweep. Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie left in the fifth with the 4-3 lead and the bases loaded and one out. Luke Hochevar (1-0) got Jay Bruce to pop up along the first-base line. Bruce was out under the infield fly rule, but Jason Bourgeois tried to score when the ball dropped, and Hochevar threw to catcher Drew Butera, who easily tagged Bourgeois out to end the inning. Ryan Madson and Kelvin Herrera each turned in one scoreless relief inning before Wade Davis pitched the ninth for his 10th save. Zobrist had his eighth career four-hit game as the Royals completed a sweep of the four-game season series with Cincinnati. The Royals have won five straight and the Reds have lost five straight.

Morgan is looking forward to running alongside Landes this year to help the Jayhawks form a pack up front. “Being more or less the front guy at the majority of the meets was frightening at first, but I got used to it,” Morgan said. “Now I’m (trying) to keep up there and working with Evan (Landes) and trying to make sure that we’re both up there at the front being low sticks for the team, being positive role models for them.” While Redwine will look to senior leadership from Morgan and Landes with his men’s team, he expects a junior-heavy class to fuel the KU women. “On the women’s side,

We started it really well last year, but we didn’t finish it.” Sophomore defender Kayla Morrison said at the beginning of each KU practice, the players line up, hold hands and step onto the field in unison as a symbol of what they hope to accomplish — crossing the line — and doing so helps them maintain their focus. “I think we were on such a high when we won so many games in a row,” Morrison said of KU’s 15-6 season, “we felt like we were indestructible. And then we kind of lost it all, and we didn’t really know how to get our feet back under us.” With the potential for greater achievements on the horizon, the Jayhawks

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Bird powers Yankees The Associated Press

Interleague

American League Yankees 4, Twins 3 New York — Rookie Greg Bird hit a pair of soaring two-run drives for his first major-league homers, supporting an overpowering effort by Nathan Eovaldi and leading New York past Minnesota on Wednesday for a three-game sweep. Eovaldi (13-2) did not allow a base-runner until Chris Hermann singled with one out in the sixth. Topping 100 mph on the scoreboard radar a handful of times, Eovaldi was touched for three runs in the inning when he lost command of his secondary pitches.
