ONE BANNER PROCLAIMING “BLACK LIVES MATTER” AND ONE NAMING THE LAWRENCE CONGREGATIONS supporting that movement are unfurled Sunday at the Kansas University Ecumenical Campus Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave. The banners are a result of a yearlong effort to enlist Lawrence congregations in a message of support.

Black Lives Matter banner unfurled at Ecumenical Campus Ministries

BY ELVYN JONES ••• ejones@ljworld.com

T

wo banners were unfurled Sunday in the front of the Ecumenical Campus Ministries building, 1204 Oread Ave., in support of the Black Lives Matter movement after a series of speakers spoke out against white privilege

and systematic racial oppression.

The message speakers shared with the mostly white audience was to examine their lives for examples of white privilege, denounce it and demand equality and justice for all.

Rev. Jill Jarvis, of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Lawrence, said the banners

were the result of a yearlong effort that started with the congregation of that church agreeing to display a banner in support of Black Lives Matter. That banner wasn’t meant to be the end of the conversation, but a reminder to the congregation to confront the casual acceptance of white privilege and the continued oppression of

people of color, she said.

With that understanding, the congregation then decided to ask other faith communities in Lawrence to come together in a common message of support of Black Lives Matter, Jarvis said.

“It’s been a year of listening and a year of learning of the continued

After going without an official adviser during the last academic year, student journalists at the University Daily Kansan, KU’s student-run newspaper, will once again receive guidance from a seasoned professional journalist this semester.

Gerri Berendzen, a newspaper industry veteran with more than 30 years of editing and reporting experience under her belt, filled the position earlier this month.

KANSAS She joins the KU faculty UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY after most recently servOF KANSAS ing as a Knight visiting news editor at the Columbia Missourian and a visiting assistant professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, where she earned her master’s degree in 1986.

Lisa McClendon, who coordinates the KU journalism school’s Bremner Editing Center, was a member of the search committee that ultimately selected Berendzen, a longtime colleague of McClendon’s, for the job.

“Because of her newsroom experience, she has a really good idea of the bigger picture of news, but in her work as a copy editor, she still knows how to focus on the details,” McClendon said.

The adviser position, she said, was left vacated at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. It remained unfilled last > KANSAN, 5A

Record crops, low prices lead to big wheat harvest The Hutchinson News

Hutchinson — A 5-million-bushel mountain of wheat is growing on an old Naval runway near Yoder. At Minneola, a crew is bagging wheat to make room for corn harvest.

And, at Oakley — already full of wheat — the cooperative has purchased land for ground piles and is trying to acquire more.

It’s a similar story across the entire state, The Hutchinson News reported.

Four seasons of record crops plus low prices equal a temporary mountain range.

While there has been growth in storage capacity in recent years, almost every elevator, bin and farm grainery is full — causing the state’s grain facilities to build mammoth ground piles at many locations.

“The last wheat harvest was the largest we’ve ever had at most of our facilities and now we are coming up on a big fall harvest,” said Ben Brandvik, lead grain marketer at Oakley-based Frontier Ag. He added the projected record harvest could mean the cooperative will have to put up to 80 percent of the fall harvest on the ground.

The northwest Kansas cooperative hasn’t experienced anything comparable in magnitude — multiple harvest seasons of bumper crops. Most other elevators in Kansas haven’t seen anything like it, either.

Wheat harvest, for many farmers, was a crop of a lifetime, with some farmers tabulating yields in the triple digits. Kansas farmers harvested 462 million bushels of wheat — up 43 percent from last year’s crop and the highest production in 13 years, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.

That would be the fourth biggest crop in the state’s history — and on fewer acres.

Meanwhile, corn and soybeans are forecast to hit production records both nationally as well as in Kansas. NASS estimates production at 660 million bushels and 164 million bushels, respectively.

Now elevator operators are grappling with where to put it all.

Elevators are required

HEADS OF WHEAT RIPEN IN A FIELD NEAR LAWRENCE on Tuesday, June 7. to have either federal or state permits to put grain on the ground. So far, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s warehouse division has approved applications for the state’s 285 federally-licensed facilities to store 24.4 million bushels in temporary piles — largely wheat.

Last year, according to the agency, elevators only requested permits to put 2.5 million bushels of wheat on the ground.

In all, federal elevators have a total capacity of about 595 million bushels.

Last year for all grains, facilities were approved to put about 70 million bushels on the ground and federal officials expect that number to increase for 2016.

Meanwhile, of the 82 state-inspected facilities, the Kansas Department of Agriculture received requests to store 7.1 million bushels of wheat in temporary ground piles, said Heather Lansdowne, the department’s spokeswoman.

The most ground permits issued in recent years was in 2007, with more than 3.6 million bushels of wheat. That same year, elevators asked to pile about 35 million bushels of corn and milo in ground piles.

Also, she said, conditional storage requests for wheat — or storage in a building or structure other than an elevator — totals 5.725 million bushels.

Both agencies are still awaiting permits for fall harvest.

The glut of grain is extending the slump in commodity prices as the farm economy continues to spiral downward.

That doesn’t just impact farmers, said Kim Barnes, chief financial officer at Pawnee County Coopera-

tive Association. It affects everyone — from other ag suppliers to the restaurants and storefronts along Main Street.

At the Larned-based cooperative Friday, the price of wheat was around $2.72.

The government loan rate in the county Friday was $3.09. Farmers have put about 100,000 bushels of wheat into the government marketing loan program, hoping for better prices. Others are taking loan-deficiency payments.

“We need some export business,” Barnes said.

“Yes, we are in mid-America, we are in Pawnee County, but what is happening in China and the world around us affects our daily lives.”

With the start of a bumper harvest less than 10 days away, his employees are making more room in the elevators, shipping out wheat by rail and by truck to terminals in Wichita.

Barnes said the company received a record 4 million bushels of wheat — 800,000 bushels more than the previous record, which was set in 2015.

“We are trying to make as much space as we can in our elevators,” he said, but added, “This harvest is big enough we won’t contain it all.”

The cooperative didn’t need to put wheat on the ground this year with the addition of 700,000 bushels of concrete storage at its Garfield location just before wheat harvest. Also, the cooperative added 1.2 million bushels of storage capacity before last year’s fall harvest.

“And we still had to put 1.3 million bushels of milo on the ground,” said Barnes of the 2015 fall harvest. “We’ll have that much or more on the ground this year.”

65 percent of their wheat crop, said Barnes, but added concern mounts for the 2017 wheat crop. With the stagnant markets, the cooperative still has corn and milo carryover from 2015 — just like many elevators.

Besides permanent storage, Pawnee County has leased land and invested in equipment for ground piles, Barnes said.

“We are making the commitment to get ready to store on the ground,” he said, adding they are doing the best they can to make unloading grain as smooth and efficient as possible.

“We are here to take care of our costumers and we will do that.”

Dave Strecker, general manager at Minneola Coop, said employees are in the process of bagging 300,000 bushels of wheat to help create space in the elevators. The cooperative is also building an additional bunker to put milo outside.

Meanwhile, at its Bloom location, they are constructing a half-millionbushel concrete storage bin, which will be done in time for harvest in September.

He excepted the fall bushels to be similar to last year if not more.

“Last year was a record for us,” Strecker said, adding his territory has had a string of phenomenal harvests. “We are going to have four monster harvests here in a row.”

As some cooperatives are just days away from the beginning of the fall harvest season, corn harvest has already started in south-central Kansas where Moundridge-based Mid-Kansas Co-op crews have been working all summer to make room for the abundant harvest.

Among the biggest jobs: transferring grain from its south-central Kansas elevators to an old Naval airbase near Yoder.

When finished, the mound will contain 5 million bushels, Erik Lange, MKC’s vice president of southern operations, said.

Rains have slowed the process. At present, the pile sits at about 4.3 million bushels.

Yoder is one of two new ground pile locations, he said, adding there also is additional ground storage across the MKC territory.

Liberal (ap) — Seward County authorities say one man died and another was injured after a shooting in Liberal.

A suspect was arrested in rural Seward County hours after a dispute among several people in a parking lot.

Eaglecom.net reports investigators say a 24-yearold man died. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. A 20-year-old man was treated and released for gunshot wounds.

Police said a 23-year-old man was arrested Saturday evening. The names of the victims and suspect have not been released.

Family holds events to boost reward Salina (ap) — A central Kansas family is using bake sales and raffles to increase the reward for information leading to their mother’s killers.

The Salina Journal reports Lori Heimer’s body was found June 25 in her home southeast of Assaria, where she operated a dog-breeding business. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation soon released descriptions of two men in connection with the case and the pickup trucks they were driving, but they haven’t been found.

Joni Alexander, one of Heimer’s four daughters, says KBI agents told her it was essential to raise awareness of her mom’s slaying.

A reward fund contains more than $50,000, and Alexander says the fundraisers help the family stay engaged in the search for anyone responsible for Heimer’s death.

Chapel project at Hutchinson continues Hutchinson (ap) — A long-running project to build a chapel at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility is continuing with help from inmates.

The Wichita Eagle reports the project, which began six years ago, is expected to take a few more years to complete.

The delay is caused in part because the project is being funded entirely with private donations. Steve Dechant, chairman of the board of the Hutchinson Spiritual Life Center, says as much work as possible is being done by inmates.

Program aims to give teen artists career tools

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Neal Barbour likes to think of the arts as a tool belt. If you’re a creative type looking to build a career for yourself in art, he explained, you’ll need a complete arsenal in your tool belt — one that goes beyond talent and passion to include networking, personal branding, grant writing and other professional essentials.

This fall, the Lawrence Arts Center will offer a workshop series intended to build the “tool belts” of high school artists. The program is in partnership with local arts professionals, the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Kansas’ department of visual art and KU Center for Entrepreneurship.

Barbour, the Arts Center’s director of youth education and the program’s main facilitator, is calling it stARTup. Intended for young artists between 16 and 19 years old, the workshops will teach arts-centered college- and career-readiness skills not typically found in high school curricula, Barbour said.

“I looked around the landscape, and we have such highly regarded and amazing art teachers in the public schools who do some portfolio development through AP classes and studio classes, but many of the students in the high-school track don’t have the opportunity unless they’re in that class,” said Barbour, who previously served as a member of the fine arts faculty at Topeka West High School before joining the Arts Center staff. “We really wanted to create this program to offer the students a different angle of what it takes to make art and sustain that practice in our community.”

The workshops, which will take place from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday, are divided into two sessions. The first, starting Sept. 7, will cover portfolio development, entrepreneurial skills (including grant and scholarship writing, website building, and how to photograph both 2-D and 3-D pieces) and the creation of work to be shown in a group show (students will also learn how to price artwork and effectively communicate with galleries) during December’s Final Friday.

The second session will entail more studio time (with access to

At one time, between Cherokee County and Crawford County, there were 63 mines that produced a third of the nation’s coal.

big. By the 1970s, the mining operations had stopped producing, Brutus went quiet and much of the land was depleted.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the per capita income for residents in Cherokee County is $20,075 and in Crawford it is $19,763, according to U.S. Census statistics for 2010; that compares to $38,882 in Johnson County, the state’s richest county.

Hardscrabble and tough; that’s how folks in some of the poorest counties in the state describe themselves.

“They are still doing reclamation on the properties that Big Brutus dug up,” said B.J. Harris, director of the Crawford County Convention and Visitors Bureau in Pittsburg.

“They are restoring and getting the land back to hunting and fishing areas. As much as this area of the state is unique in coal mining, it is also known for its outdoor recreation.”

Indeed, the state record for largemouth bass — 11.80 pounds and 28 1/2 inches long — was caught May 5, 2008, by Tyson Hallam of Scammon in a private pit lake in Cherokee County.

And white-tailed deer, more plentiful than people, stand in back-road ditches and stare as vehicles pass within feet.

industry in southeast Kansas. The area was the world’s leader for zinc mining at the turn of the 20th century, according to Kansaspedia, a website of the Kansas State Historical Society.

The first underground shaft-mine in Kansas was built near Scammon in 1874.

During the late 19th and early 20th century, the mines attracted immigrants, unions and socialism. Because the people mining the coal were a mix of 50 nationalities, that portion of the state was nicknamed “The Little Balkans.”

The peak mining years for coal were from the 1880s through 1970s, said Jim Lovell, who said he worked in the mines for 40 years and eight days. The underground mines were phased out by the 1930s for strip mining — where deep trenches are dug down to the layers of coal.

“There wasn’t a day I didn’t look forward to it,” said Lovell, now 79, of Cherokee. “It was like being your own boss. Everybody knew their job.”

He is a third-generation miner. His sons represent the fourth and last generation to work in the mines, he said.

The era of Brutus Carmen Boccia said he worked as a mining electrician for 39 years.

He worked on Big Brutus — along with Lovell — during its 11-year lifespan that ended in 1974, when cheapMining for coal er, low-sulfur coal mined Lead, zinc and coal min- in Wyoming and Montana ing helped build a thriving forced the company to shut

down the machine and mine near West Mineral.

Boccia said he was there when Big Brutus was purchased from the Bucyrus Eric company of Milwaukee in 1962 for $6.2 million and shipped to Kansas by rail car.

“It came in on well over 100 cars and was assembled on site,” Boccia said. “It took about a year to assemble it at Hallowell, Kan.” The shovel is 16 stories tall, weighs 11 million pounds and has a boom more than 150 feet long.

“The bucket could fill 90 cubic yards and could complete a cycle in 55 seconds — that means, they could take a bite and swing the bucket 90 degrees and swing it up to drop the load and be back in ready to take a bite again in 55 seconds,” Boccia said.

The shovel operated for 11 years, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

“I figure in that time it would have dug a pit that would have been 120 feet wide that was 40 to 50 feet deep from Hallowell, Kan., to Fort Worth, Texas,” he said.

“At one time, they had as many as five super shovels operating around the nation,” Boccia said. “All of them have been destroyed except for Brutus.”

Like a sentinel, Brutus still stands. People flock to climb its steps and gaze out over the horizon from the operator’s seat.

Betty Becker, Big Brutus’ manager, estimates 30,000 people come annually.

Big Brutus and the Miners Hall Museum in Franklin,

Monday, August 29, 2016

about 30 miles to the northeast, are a tribute to the miners.

“It just always attracted people,” Boccia said. “There was always a lot of tourist interest.”

Brutus was donated to the museum in 1984 by Pittsburg and Midway Coal Mining Co., along with 16 acres of surrounding mined land.

Thousands of volunteer hours went into restoring Big Brutus, which has been designated a Regional Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Boccia and Lovell both sit on Big Brutus’ board of directors. They are continuously seeking donations for orange and black paint to keep the mighty shovel looking fit.

It costs roughly $250,000 every 15 years to paint the machine. Specialists have to be called in to cover all of its expansive territory and height.

Talk with most Kansas tourism officials and Big Brutus is listed as one of the top experiences for people to see in Kansas.

“It is a big piece of tourism in that region,” said Kelli Hilliard, the public relations and travel development manager for Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

“Big Brutus certainly represents a little-known part of our Kansas history and heritage,” Harris said. “I don’t think many people associate Kansas as a coal mining state. Yet its one of those things you have to see to believe.”

Kansan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

year because of what then-Kansan editors said were limited funds after a Student Senate cut that slashed the newspaper’s funding by half. The funding, we’ve since reported, has been restored.

After the tumult, McClendon said, students were relieved to know they’d have an adviser at the helm this fall. Berendzen, she added, will be adept at lending knowledge and support without being “the boss.”

“I think that’s the role of the adviser,” McClendon said. “To be there, to offer advice, input, feedback, guidance. Not to take control of the newsroom, but to be there as a soundboard and a guide.”

Near the end of her first week on the job, Berendzen spoke with the Journal-World about her vision for the Kansan, the state of news today and why student journalists give her hope for the future. Here’s a condensed and edited version of that interview.

Q: Even though you’re taking a hands-off approach to a certain extent, do you still have a vision for the kind of role you’d like to see the Kansan take at KU and the larger community?

A: Here’s the biggest thing, I think: I guess it was last year, when they stopped printing four days a week and they went to two days and they said, “We’re going to be digital first.” But I look at the Kansan and I actually don’t think they operate like a digital-first newsroom. They operate like a newsroom that has two print editions and a digital component.

This paper really has two roles: It’s a community paper for the community of the University of Kansas, but it’s also a learning experience for them. You can’t just say, “Well, the bulk of what we put on the web is going to be put on the web after we put it in print.”

That’s not going to work that way. If the KU community really wants to look at us and say, “Well, if I want to know about something that’s going on on campus — if I want to

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ADVISER GERRI BERENDZEN LAUGHS as she talks with editor-in-chief Candice Tarver, a senior from Overland Park, and Cody Schmitz, a Concordia senior, during a visit to the newsroom on Tuesday. know, for instance, what they’re going to do in 2017 with campus carry — I can get that from the UDK.” But, you know, with us thinking digital first, we’re going to have that for you right away on mobile. That’s the way we’ve got to be thinking.

I’m not one of those people who think there’s going to be a time when there’s absolutely no print at all. I think there’s still going to be print, but I think it’s going to be different. I like to tell people, it’s like horses.

In 1830, you had to have a horse to get around.

There were no cars. You had to have a horse for your wagon if you wanted to haul things. Horses were essential for everything. You know, in 1910, if you wanted the news, you had to get the newspaper. Newspapers were essential like that. Horses aren’t essential anymore, but people still have them. They’re kind of a hobby.

And I think the news is still essential, but reading it in print isn’t necessarily essential. But there are still going to be people who want to do that. My idea is that this (gesturing to a print copy of the Kansan) can’t be exactly what you’re going to read online. It has to be different. And that’s really what I would like to work

on with this staff, is saying, “We’re a multiplatform publication here, and we have different identities.” You can look online and you’re going to get a different experience than what’s in print, so you really want to go out and look at both of those, because you’re going to see both.

would have hated to be in the classroom or in an educational venue full-time in 2008 or 2009, because it was hard enough being in a newsroom in 2009.

Everybody seemed to be depressed, you know?

But I actually think it’s probably the best time to go into journalism, ever, because you’re not just limited to, “I have to go work for this newspaper, I have to go work for this magazine, I have to go work for this television station.” There are so many different ways for getting news out there now. Some of them won’t stay around a long time, but it doesn’t make any difference because some new thing will start up.

The nature of the business has changed, but I don’t think it’s gloomy.

I think it’s just different.

I also think that journalism is a great background for lots of other jobs that aren’t necessarily journalism. So, no one is wasting their time going to journalism school because journalism’s going downhill. Not only is there more journalism than ever, but there are more ways you can use that degree that aren’t necessarily traditional journalism.

with the accompanying protests over reportedly racist conditions at the university. What was that like?

A: It’s kind of funny because those (journalism) students, I think, kind of accidentally got into something that some people will only have happen to them once in their careers.

Journalism is a weird job. I want to say, “I hope they get that opportunity again,” but in a way I don’t want to say that, because a lot of times when you have that opportunity, it means something really bad has happened.

I’m not sure it was that bad overall, though, because to me, the fact that there were underlying social problems there, and the fact that that came out, is not a bad thing.

Now, there’s gobs of people who disagree with me. There were people who thought it was horrible, that we shouldn’t be talking about race, that it was bad for the university and it made Missouri look like a laughing stock.

Missouri’s hardly the only place in the world that has racial problems. Things that live in the dark can’t live in the open.

Q: What do you say to students who may feel discouraged about the state of journalism today?

A: That came up a lot when I was at Mizzou, and it’ll come up here, too. I was in journalism school in ’80, ’81, ’82, and it was the post-Watergate era, and people were revved (up) about going to journalism school. Lots of people thought, “I’m going to go out and find the corrupt people and bring down the government,” or whatever. And the reality of journalism isn’t that. There are always going to be people who are out there risking their lives covering the wars and going to warzones in Syria, and for every one of them, there’s going to be three times as many or more who are at the school board meeting in a town of 10,000 or covering the county Q: What did you learn fair. And really, that’s all important, but I came in Q: You were at Mizzou from that experience?

A: I think the biggest at a time of this intense while the Melissa Click enthusiasm, and I think I snafu unfolded, along thing I learned is I could

not be afraid about the future of journalism, because I think there are lots of bright, young journalists who want to do a good job and make a difference in the world.

And they really showed it there.

The other takeaway is not really a good one for journalism. While all this was going on, being in that town, I knew some of the people involved. I was reading things in the Washington Post and the New York Times, and we were all — students, professors — sitting in the newsroom saying, “Where are they getting this? This didn’t happen this way. This is not quite right.” And it really helps you understand why people complain about the media, because you could see exactly what happened. People who parachute in to cover something big — they report on it because it’s big, but they don’t have the background (and) they don’t really know what went on before — are bound to make mistakes, just by missing some nuance or making assumptions that they shouldn’t have, or all kinds of things.

Q: What are the big issues, as you see them, that the Kansan should be following this year?

A: Some of it I don’t think I’ve been around long enough to know about, but I just think on every college campus, every student media should be paying attention to Title IX issues, sexual assault and abuse on campus. And I know there are students here working on stories on those topics.

I think that the racial climate in the country is a big story for everyone, and there are stories about how that plays out on campus.

I think the rising cost of college is a huge concern to our students, and I don’t think that they are — not the staff, but the students in general — really thinking about the politics of how the state Legislature plays out. But it actually has a personal affect on their lives, and so I think that’s something we need to be doing, too.

Mom shouldn’t indulge daughter’s self-pity Dear Annie: My children are grown and have wonderful families of their own, but my daughter is extremely jealous of her brother and his family.

My daughter moved to another state after she graduated college (she is the eldest) and lived with her father for a while before she married and had her two children. She lived there for almost 24 years before she came back to our hometown.

My son and I were close because his dad and I were divorced for four years before I remarried and we only had each other. Even after he moved out and got married, we remained close.

Five years ago, my daughter divorced her husband, moved home and married a nice man here. But never in these

five years has she had us down to her home for a meal, though we’ve had them over to our place many times and on most holidays. On the holidays we don’t host, we are all invited to my son’s, two hours away.

My daughter complains because of the drive, yet she won’t have any of the holidays at her house. She always has excuses — that her house is too small, she can’t cook, etc. But we have answers for all of

‘Vanishing Women’ case still open Some things can wait. The finale of the six-episode series ‘‘The Vanishing Women’’ (9 p.m., ID, TV-14) had been pushed back to cover unfolding developments into the deaths and disappearances of six women from small-town Chillicothe, Ohio.

According to local authorities, ‘‘The Vanishing Women’’ has generated dozens of tips and offered some insights into what may or may not be the hunt for a serial killer.

S o m e had been waiting for an accused killer’s testimony to break the case. But he only offered new theories, suggesting that the search for ‘‘The Vanishing Women’’ will continue. It will certainly outlast this series; ID has announced that the first season of ‘‘The Vanishing Women’’ would be its last. l Is internet addiction a disease, or a symptom of a youth culture that older ‘‘authorities’’ don’t understand? The 2015 ‘‘P.O.V’’ documentary ‘‘Web Junkie’’ (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) shows how internet addiction has been diagnosed as a major social issue in China and how that country’s authoritarian government has established military-style boot camps to break obsessive gamers of their antisocial habits.

Often, the incarcerated teens profiled in ‘‘Web Junkie’’ resemble the antiheroes of American movies. Eye-rolling, apathetic rebels, they resist official indoctrination as well as the tearful entreaties of their parents, who worry that their kids have abandoned society, friendship and even basic hygiene to play video games.

Watching ‘‘Web Junkie’’ is trip to a rather grim place, but like the best documentaries, it demonstrates the universality in human experience while demonstrating vast differences in cultures and systems.

It also offers powerful commentary on the allure of video games. As one teen admits, he has abandoned all friends, family and normal life because, compared to his gaming existence, ‘‘in the real world, everybody is fake.’’

Tonight’s other highlights

l National finals begin on

‘‘American Ninja Warrior’’ (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l The top five perform on ‘‘So You Think You Can Dance’’ (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG). For those keeping score at home, this is the series’ 250th episode. l ‘‘Antiques Roadshow’’ (7 p.m., PBS, TV-G) scours for treasures in Pittsburgh. l Fans of Jennifer Lopez have two chances to see her early in her career in the 1997 jungle adventure ‘‘Anaconda’’ (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., BBC America), as well as in the 2002 drama ‘‘Enough’’ (7 p.m., Lifetime), as a wife who takes on her abuser.

When I talk about her brother, she gets upset, but I talk about her life and compliment her all the time.

She lives 1 mile from me but never comes by.

When I go there, she is too busy watching TV or sleeping.

When my mom was alive, there was never a day I didn’t talk to her, and most days I just dropped by her house to see how she was doing. I wish I had this kind of relationship with my daughter. She refers to her brother as ‘‘the chosen child.’’

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Aug. 29: This year you express a more upbeat attitude than others have seen in a while. You also become more verbal. You tend to be positive, with the exception of having to deal with a certain loved one.

If you are single, you could be overly concerned about being hurt. People are the way they are, and accepting this is crucial to a successful relationship. If you are attached, you and your sweetie might need a lot more downtime.

The two of you could opt to get involved in volunteer work.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your excellent communication pays off. Tonight: Consider going on a getaway for a day or two soon.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) HHHH You will have a hard time being focused after this past weekend. Tonight: Happy where you are.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might be tired of hearing the same old story from a partner. Tonight: Remain sure of yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) HHHH Sometimes you need to let go some more! Tonight: Break the mold.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You’ll be more verbal than usual. Try to have a meaning-

should give it a name.

It’s possible she’s holding on to a lot of anger from her divorce; maybe she blames her exhusband for their living in another state for 24 years and she is taking that resentment out on you and your son because she feels as if she missed out. Regardless, she’s being unfair.

Continue to shower her with affection — but refuse to indulge the self-pitying remarks. You clearly care equally about both of your children. Her attitude is no reflection on your love.

Building fee Increasing the fee on commercial and multifamily building projects is a good idea.

T

he City of Lawrence’s plan to start charging a new fee for commercial and multifamily building projects makes sense as long as it achieves the efficiencies the city promises.

The additional fee is meant to fund a new position — a senior building inspector — that will provide additional review for large-scale developments. The senior inspector will help to manage, review and inspect large commercial and multifamily projects.

The City Commission approved the plan review fee as part of next year’s budget. The new fee will go into effect in January.

The new fee could add thousands of dollars to the cost of commercial and apartment projects. The new fee is 20 percent of the current building permit fee, which is based on the dollar value of the building project. For example, a $25 million project requires about $44,000 in permit fees. The new fee would be an additional $8,800.

Of late, Lawrence has had several largescale commercial and multifamily projects, including 19 projects of $1 million or more in 2015 when a record-breaking $227 million of new construction took place.

Kurt Schroeder, assistant director of development services for the city, said the new position will allow the city to provide better inspection services in a more timely fashion.

“We want to make sure we’re inspecting and keeping all the buildings safe and code compliant, but we also want to make sure there are not delays in the service,” Schroeder said. “This, we think, will kind of help fill in some of the gaps we’re starting to see just because of the volume of inspection activity and plan review.”

Bill Fleming, an attorney representing some of Lawrence’s major developers, said his clients wouldn’t be upset with the new fee so long as it was reasonable and the city delivered on its promise of better service.

Major development projects in Lawrence don’t appear to be slowing anytime soon. Increasing fees to add staff to make sure the review and inspection process is thorough and timely is an appropriate step for the city to take.

Trump changing tone but not essence Presidential candidates facing defeat often try to change their image.

Vice President Hubert Humphrey broke with President Lyndon Johnson and called for halting U.S. bombing in Vietnam. Moderate centrist Al Gore sought to turn himself into a raging populist. President George H.W. Bush took to hurling verbal epithets at his rivals. And Bob Dole started condemning press failure to spotlight Bill Clinton’s shortcomings, thundering daily, “Where is the outrage?”

All still lost.

Now, trailing Hillary Clinton in almost every key state, Donald Trump is changing the tone — but not the essence — of his outsider presidential campaign. After spending 14 months spewing verbal venom and denigrating ethnic groups and rivals, Trump has abruptly, but imprecisely, expressed regret if his words hurt anyone, lowered the boisterous tone of his speeches and tempered some of his most controversial positions.

He’s presumably trying to convince voters that, contrary to current attitudes, he has the proper temperament to be president. A lot will depend on whether Trump is able to maintain his new tone and, if he can, convert enough skeptical voters.

Even before this, Trump stopped referring explicitly to his oft-stated vow to ban all Muslim immigration to the United States. Instead, he talks of requiring

Though he made a strict immigration policy a cornerstone of his campaign from the very first day, including promising to forcibly deport millions who are here illegally, he now seems to be leaving open the possibility of modification. Asked recently on CNN’s State of the Union if Trump was changing the forced deportation plan amid rumors he signaled a change to his Hispanic advisory group, new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway replied, “To be determined.”

Meanwhile, though Trump has yet to address any African-American audiences (among whom polls show he has virtually no support), he started stressing the “deep personal importance to me” of helping

African-Americans. He said he wants to make the GOP again the party of Abraham Lincoln, declared Clinton “would rather provide a job for a refugee from overseas” than for an AfricanAmerican youth, and asked African-Americans — while addressing a mainly white suburban Michigan audience — “What the hell do you have to lose?”

So far, this “new Trump” has been mostly rhetorical.

He has made no explicit apologies to those he assailed: the Mexican-American judge whose heritage he lambasted, the Gold Star family whose motives he questioned and the journalist whose disability he mocked. He still blames President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for creating the Islamic state and still makes unsupported promises of lowered energy bills, factories sprouting coast-to-coast and a sharp drop in crime.

By contrast, he said Saturday in Fredericksburg, Va., a Clinton presidency would cost “your jobs … your wages … your medical. You’re going to lose everything.”

Trump supporters and some who know him contend the lowered volume and less bombastic language represents the real Trump, not the persona he adopted for political purposes. His goal, many analysts agree, is aimed less at attracting support from minorities than at regaining lost support among moderate GOP suburbanites.

“I have always been the same person,” Trump tweeted recently, adding “it would be very dishonest to supporters” for him to change now.

But voters could be forgiven if the last week left them baffled about what was real and what was not — and which Trump they would get as president. Their conclusion may determine if he can give Clinton a run for her money in the campaign’s home stretch.

The reason is that Trump’s tone has been a significant factor in the public’s judgment that, so far, he has not shown the temperament to be president. In last week’s NBC News Survey Monkey weekly tracking poll, only 17 percent agreed Trump had the personality and temperament to serve, including barely more than one-third of Republicans, compared with Clinton’s 42 percent.

But tone is not Trump’s only problem. Another is the sense, underscored by his consistent avoidance of details and his frequent misstatement of facts, that he lacks knowledge about government in general and the specific issues he would have to handle as president.

The forthcoming presidential debates will test both factors. They remain Trump’s best chance to show who he really is and what he would do as president, and to overcome the underlying doubts of many voters.

Election a character test for America

Sydney — To appreciate what’s at stake for the world in this year’s U.S. presidential election, it’s useful to visit a place like Australia that has been one of our most faithful allies — and that appears to be mortified at what’s happening in American politics.

Australians are polite, in their own rowdy way. And they know they have to live with whoever is elected president. So people here rarely criticize Donald Trump head on.

But polls tell the story: A June survey by the Lowy Institute, a think tank here, found that just 11 percent supported Trump, compared with 77 percent for Hillary Clinton.

The percentage supporting Trump’s foreign policy was even smaller. And most amazingly, in a country that has backed every American military action for a century, 59 percent of Australians say their country shouldn’t join in U.S. military action if Trump is elected.

Australians, like most U.S. allies, depend on a strong, confident America to lead a global system that’s stable, and also supple enough to accommodate new players such as China. They fear an America that leaves allies to fend for themselves against Russian or Chinese bullying.

So what do Australians think when they hear Trump say, as he did in an Aug. 8

David Ignatius

speech: “Americanism, not globalism, will be our new credo”? They worry that he means just what he says.

Trump’s America would be a more selfish nation; it would look out more for itself and less for others. This inward focus may make sense to Americans who are unhappy with globalization, but it’s a scary prospect for an Australia that has to bet its future, quite literally, on America’s staying power in Asia.

“We need confident, competent, outward-looking U.S. leadership. Our region depends on that,” Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told me in an interview.

While she was careful not to express a political preference, her meaning seemed obvious.

Trump’s fulmination about trade deals is a particularly worrying example of his intention to abandon longstanding American policies. He blasts the Trans-Pacific Partnership, for example, ignoring the fact that the greatest beneficiary of TPP’s demise would be China. Beijing is wait-

ing with its own alternative structure for global trade and economics to replace the U.S.-led system that has prevailed since 1945.

Trump’s supporters may imagine that America will start “winning” again, postTPP, but I have yet to meet a global business leader who doesn’t think that the demise of the trade deal would be a huge victory for China that would undermine American power in Asia for years.

And yes, folks, TPP’s demise would also hurt American workers by reducing U.S. access to the world’s fastestgrowing markets.

Clinton’s capitulation to misguided critics of the TPP has been sad to watch. Maybe she really believes that it’s possible to reopen negotiations and get a better deal, but if so, she’s nearly alone. More likely, she’s willing for U.S. economic power and prestige to take a hit, if it will help her get elected. The only adult American in the room on this issue has been President Obama, who is campaigning hard to get TPP passed before he leaves office.

“The TPP is not just an economic necessity, it’s a strategic necessity,” argues Bishop.

“If the TPP fails, it will be seen as a failure of U.S. political will. A failure will also leave a vacuum, which will be filled by other countries including China. It’s absolutely vital to have a win on this.”

What will allies do if the U.S. votes to embrace Trump’s version of “Americanism, not globalism”?

They will make adjustments; they will hedge their bets; they will hope that the fever breaks in four years; they will try to protect their own interests in a world where American power has become less reliable.

Australia is a good example of a country that stands by its friends, even when they make mistakes.

The leadership here stuck with the U.S. through Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some business leaders want cozier relations with China, but the public view is steadfast. “Why would we seek to hasten the drawing-down of an old ally?” asked Michael Fullilove, executive director of the Lowy Institute, in a recent book.

Great powers sometimes crack under strain. Australia watched as the seemingly unshakable power of the British Empire became brittle and weary, and turned inward. Global leadership isn’t a perpetual motion machine. It requires effort and occasional sacrifice. This year is a character test for America, and you need only travel abroad to understand how intently the world is watching.

Chicago starts building city ‘fitness tracker’ First-of-its-kind data-collecting system altered for privacy concerns Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

The Windy City has begun installing what sounds a whole lot like a Fitbit that can measure the vitals of a bustling metropolis.

Chicago, which partnered on the project with researchers at the University of Chicago and ArCHICAGO

gonne National Laboratory and several corporations, last week installed the first two of 500 modular sensor boxes. The devices will eventually allow the city and public to instantly get blockby-block data on air quality, noise levels, as well as vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

The project — dubbed the Array of Things and described by Chicago officials as a “fitness tracker for the city” — is a first-

of-its-kind effort in the nation.

Plans are in the works to replicate the project in the coming years in more than a dozen other cities, including Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Seattle. The Chicago project was funded with the help of a $3.1 million National Science Foundation grant.

HOPE OF FINDING SURVIVORS FADES

Firefighters recover a crucifix from a damaged church in the village of Rio, near the central Italian village of Amatrice, on Sunday, four days after a magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck the region, killing nearly 300 people.

Shoddy, price-cutting renovations, in breach of local building regulations, could be partly to blame for the high death toll from last week’s devastating earthquake in central Italy, according to a prosecutor investigating the disaster. IN NEWS

WASHINGTON The Democratic presidential candidate’s interview with federal investigators was hours-long.

The questions, including tense exchanges about missing emails from a high-profile government archive, spanned years when the then-candidate was one of the most senior officials in government.

If the political drama sounds familiar, it should.

Hillary Clinton’s current struggles with an email scandal, the aftermath of a Justice Department investigation and serious questions about fundraising activities closely track the fraught political landscape then-vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore confronted in 2000.

Sixteen years ago, then-attorney general Janet Reno rejected for a third time a recommendation to appoint a special counsel to investigate Gore’s campaign fundraising activities in 1996.

Like last month’s recommendation by FBI Director James Comey not to pursue criminal charges related to Clinton’s handling of classified information on a private email server while secretary of State, Reno’s decision infuriated Republicans and followed the general election campaign to its historically disputed end.

Until the Clinton email inquiry, the scrutiny of Gore’s activities marked the last time a Justice probe so closely shadowed a presidential campaign. While nearly two decades removed, both cases underscore a highstakes process in which political considerations are virtually impossible to exclude from crucial

Trump campaign again on the defensive after Wade tweet Hours later, nominee tweeted his condolences Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

Donald Trump’s campaign manager defended the Republican presidential candidate following his exclamatory tweet about the murder of Dwyane Wade’s cousin, saying it was a sign that Trump will be “taking his message to communities of color” in the coming weeks.

Trump suggested Saturday that the shooting of Nykea Aldridge, the cousin of the Chicago

Bulls star, while pushing a baby stroller validates his claims about urban crime. “Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!” he said.

Trump’s critics accused him of politicizing the tragedy. And on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway deflected questions about the meaning of that tweet.

“He tweeted his condolences to the family right after that, and I’d like everyone to know about both tweets,” she said.

The next tweet, which came hours later, read: “My condo-

“I think you have to look at both tweets where he expresses his condolences,” Conway said.

“He reminds everybody he’s been trying to make the case that the increase in random crime and senseless murders, the poverty,

the joblessness, the homelessness in some of our major cities is unacceptable to all of us.”

Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, also defended the GOP presidential nominee’s response to the Chicago killing, pointing to Trump’s follow-up tweet and blaming the media for not “focusing on what the Clintons have been up to for the last 30 years.”

Pence said Trump “has a plainspoken way about him. And the tragedy of a mother pushing her child on the streets of Chicago being shot and killed, as Nykea Aldridge was, just breaks my heart.”

Remembering my journalistic mentor J. N’deye Walton

Special for USA TODAY

George E. Curry, an influential journalist who was a columnist, reporter and editor in chief of Emerge magazine, died Aug. 20 at 69.

1995 was the beginning of the blessing of George Curry in my life.

“What do you do here?”

George energetically asked me.

He was a guest on a show at a news station where I worked as an associate producer. Big names flowed through the newsroom on a regular basis, but no one ever gave me pause until George.

I had long been a fan of the great journalist. He immediately began a conversation with me because that is what George did.

He saw a then-young AfricanAmerican person working in a mainstream newsroom. It was second nature for George to reach out. Without hesitation, George gave me his contact information and instant inspiration. And guess what. When I called him, he answered. Over the years, he never stopped answering. Despite George’s full journalistic plate, he always had time.

George was a longtime newspaper reporter who became the editor in chief of Emerge magazine, which was “Black America’s Newsmagazine.” He later served as editor in chief of the National Newspaper Publishers

Association. George was a fearless truth seeker and an eternal champion and staunch defender of the black press, black readers and civil rights. George dove into topics that others dared not touch. It didn’t matter who you were or what the fallout might be, George called it like he saw it.

Some people thought Emerge’s cover photos were politically provocative. The covers were bold and truthful, just like the man at the helm of the magazine. Two controversial covers involved Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, one with him wearing an Aunt Jemima-style

headscarf and another depicting him as a lawn jockey.

Who knew that a few years after that fateful encounter and simple question of “What do you do here?” I would have the honor of working with George on BET’s Lead Story, a weekly political affairs show. My mind was blown! Am I actually suggesting stories to THE George Curry? Is THE George Curry shooting down some of my ideas but accepting most of them?

Former Justice Department officials and analysts said that while agents largely operate apart from such artificial deadlines, key landmarks in fast-moving election cycles loom like ticking clocks for case managers and other department officials.

“You don’t want to artificially move too quickly because of some set date in the future and you don’t want to artificially drag your feet, but you feel the clock ticking,” said Charles LaBella, former director of the Justice De-

George never minced words.

George pushed you. George encouraged you. George stretched you. George accepted only the best from you.

It’s interesting that George’s last name is Curry. Curry dishes often have a mixture of complex spices. George was just that: a complex mixture.

I’ve seen George rattle off his-

torical facts, victoriously debate heavy hitters, seamlessly weave a James Brown lyric into a conversation, talk about hearing bombs overhead while reporting in a war zone, then crack a joke about something I was wearing. George was a gentleman, a chronic door opener and umbrella holder.

That chivalry comes from how he was raised in Tuscaloosa, Ala. George was the spice that made the lives of others delicious.

When I learned that I had a new personal and professional angel, I cried. After the tears, I smiled when I thought of George’s megawatt smile, his jokes and his undying passion for the truth.

He had recently made sure that Emerge magazine reemerged in the digital world.

He was raising funds so EmergeNewsOnline could fill the void that was left when Emerge magazine closed in 2000. Even in George’s passing, he still provides opportunity.

It’s sadly poetic that the fact that he is no longer with us is the reason that I’m writing my first piece for a national newspaper. Without a doubt, George is in heaven, still being an advocate and making other angels belly laugh.

Then-attorney general Janet Reno overruled calls for an independent counsel to investigate Al Gore.

FBI Director James Comey has defended his decision not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton.

partment’s campaign finance task force. “There is a tension there.”

LaBella was among those whose calls for an independent counsel to investigate possible fundraising abuses by Gore and then-president Bill Clinton were rejected by Reno, as Gore was prepping for a White House run.

In such politically charged cases, LaBella said the other case managers “kept an eye” on the election calendar but it didn’t control the direction of investigations.

LaBella said he met with Reno at least once a week or sometimes twice to update the attorney general on the progress of his unit’s investigations.

Although Reno overruled LaBella’s 1998 recommendation and similar guidance from his successor, Robert Conrad, in 2000, the former Justice official said the attorney general never sought to discourage the unit’s investigations.

“She always said, ‘Leave no stone unturned,’ ” LaBella said.

“She never put pressure on us.”

The scrutiny of Gore and Clinton fundraising activities focused in part on the vice president’s 1996 visit to a Buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights, Calif., for a fundraiser that involved illegal contributions; separate questions about donor calls made from the White House; and missing emails that had been requested as part of congressional investigations.

In an interview at the time with Justice prosecutors, Gore said he “sure as hell” didn’t recall knowing that the temple event was a fundraiser. Asked about the missing emails, he said, “I have no idea.”

“I realize that politics will be hurled around my head,” Reno said shortly after making the 2000 decision to reject a special counsel for Gore. “I just sit there and duck as it comes and continue to look at the evidence and the law and make the best judgment I can.

“You don’t put people through an investigation where you don’t, based on the law and principles

that govern our conduct, think you can find the evidence that would justify further action,” Reno said.

Last month, Comey defended his decision not to recommend criminal charges against Clinton, asserting that the FBI’s review was “apolitical” and the unanimous assessment of a group of investigators and analysts whom the director described as an “allstar team” assembled by the Justice Department.

Ron Hosko, a former FBI assistant director who oversaw political corruption investigations, said that while political considerations are not supposed to factor into investigative decisions, “it’s in your mind.”

Hosko was not involved in the Hillary Clinton inquiry, but he said there were cases when, because of a looming election, “we knew we had to press forward with all deliberate speed in the summer because if we hit in September or October that could have been interpreted as interfering with an election.”

“We did not take steps that would appear to influence an election,” Hosko said. “If we needed to take one more step (in an investigation during an election cycle) there would be a consideration for how much of a splash it was going to make.”

Gerald Hebert, executive director of the Campaign Legal Center and a former Justice Department official, said that while there was regular discussion about how to proceed in politically charged cases, department policy was clear: “A federal investigation should not become an issue in an election.”

While Comey’s announcement in the Clinton email case may have been extraordinary, Hebert said it was “the right call to make” regardless of whether it involved a presidential candidate.

“If you know there is going to be no prosecution, there’s no violation of the law, are you going to sit on that investigation for months?” Hebert said. “I don’t think so.”

Prosecutor blames cut corners for collapses Pope Francis vows to visit Italy’s quake-ravaged areas John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

Contractors who reinforced buildings “on the cheap” may have run up the death toll in central Italy’s devastating earthquake and could face criminal charges, a local prosecutor said Sunday.

Also Sunday, Pope Francis pledged to visit “as soon as possible” the Italian towns that took the brunt of Wednesday’s temblor.

Prosecutor Giuseppe Saieva said the quake that killed at least 290 people may have been more than an unavoidable natural disaster. A quake in the region sev-

en years ago killed more than 300 people and alerted authorities to the need for earthquake-resistant construction. Saieva said property owners who contracted shoddy work could be held responsible for contributing to the damage.

“If the buildings had been constructed as they are in Japan, they wouldn’t have collapsed,” he told La Repubblica.

Franco Roberti, the head of Italy’s national anti-organized crime agency, told the Italian daily that steps must be taken to ensure that mobsters don’t infiltrate reconstruction efforts. Claims of mob involvement in the 2009 reconstruction drew outrage across

Firefighters knock down rubble hanging precariously from a damaged building Sunday in Amatrice, Italy. The death toll in the town stood at 229. Shoddy construction could be to blame for the collapse of some structures. the nation.

“The risk of infiltration is always high,” Roberti said. “Postearthquake reconstruction is a tasty morsel for criminal organizations and business interests.”

Heavy equipment was digging into rubble Sunday as hopes faded that more survivors would be unearthed amid debris from the magnitude-6.2 quake. Saieva visited a collapsed, three-story villa that he suspected “was built on the cheap with more sand than cement.”

Another damaged building was an elementary school, empty when the quake hit, that was supposedly rebuilt to be quake-resistant four years ago. Antonio Moretti, a geologist and professor at the University of L’Aquila, said he has visited the site and saw no meaningful adjustments.

“They should have put the iron anchors to the pillars and steel mesh on the walls, but I cannot see that in the rubble,” he told La Repubblica.

“If it emerges that individuals cut corners, they will be pursued, and those that have made mistakes will pay a price,” Saieva said.

“Dear brothers and sisters,” he said, “I hope to come to see you as soon as possible, to bring you in person the comfort of the faith, the embrace of a father and a brother, and the support of Christian hope.”

Rome is about 90 miles southwest of the ancient town of Amatrice, where the death toll stood at 229 on Sunday. Ten people remained missing in the town of about 3,000 people, and authorities said Sunday they might have located at least three more bodies in the ruins of the Hotel Roma.

Another 50 deaths were reported in the town of Arquato del Tronto, with 11 reported in nearby Accumoli.

More than 2,000 people have moved to tent cities, where Mass was held Sunday. Scores of security officials have been sent into the towns to defend against looters.

Italian President Sergio Mattarella visited Amatrice on Saturday, thanking rescue workers. He and Prime Minister Matteo Renzi participated in a state funeral in Ascoli Piceno for 35 victims.

Gabon’s most prominent opposition candidate said Sunday that early results show he will win this central African country’s presidential election, though official results have not been announced.

“The general trends indicate we are the winner of this important presidential election,” Jean Ping, a former chair of the African Union Commission, told reporters Sunday afternoon.

Earlier Sunday, the country’s interior ministry said in a statement that it was illegal to proclaim results before the electoral commission’s official results are made public — an announcement that is expected on Tuesday.

Ping is trying to unseat President Ali Bongo Ondimba, who came to power in 2009 after the death of his father, longtime ruler Omar Bongo.

Bongo’s spokesman, AlainClaude Bilie-By-Nze, said Saturday night that the president was “en route to a second term.”

uMuslim extremists supporting the Islamic State have freed eight fellow militants in a daring attack that also allowed 15 other inmates to escape from a provincial jail in the southern Philippines, according to the Associated Press. Police say about 20 heavily armed fighters of the Maute militant group stormed the Lanao del Sur provincial jail in Marawi city before nightfall Saturday, disarmed the guards and rescued their eight comrades.

Turkey claimed it had “neutralized” 25 Kurdish fighters in airstrikes across the Syrian border Sunday, the latest attack in Turkey’s stepped-up campaign to retake towns from Kurdish rebels.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency, citing the Turkish military, said the attack was carried out against “terrorists groups” that had attacked Turkish troops supporting a Free Syrian Army operation targeting Islamic State militants. Five buildings used by the Kurdish rebels also were destroyed, the military said.

The Turkish military said it took “all necessary measures” to protect the local civilian population. The BBC, however, said the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported 35 civilian casualties.

The attacks reflect the increasingly complex, uneasy military alliances in the region. The U.S. considers Turkey a crucial ally in the fight against the Islamic State.

Yet the U.S. also backs the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which have waged successful battles against the Islamic State and also seeks to depose Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims the Kurds are scheming to create a Kurdish state along the Turkish-Syrian border. Vice President Biden, in Ankara last week, warned that the U.S. would cut support to its Syrian Kurdish allies if they don’t withdraw from key areas along the Turkish border.

The U.S. has pressed Turkey to show restraint against the Kurds.

Erdogan, in a speech Sunday, said his nation will continue to fight “all terrorists.” He was speaking in Gaziantep — where 54 people at a Kurdish wedding

died Aug. 20 in a suicide bombing. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Erdogan has blamed the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS. The controversial president, who repelled a military-backed coup attempt last month, said Kurds were no different.

“Turkey has not and will not surrender to any terrorist organizations or terror methods,” he said. “We know the same face is behind all of them. ... Our operations against the separatist organization will continue without

interruption.”

Sunday’s airstrikes came on the fifth day of Turkey’s Operation Euphrates Shield, a military effort to improve its border security by crossing into Syria to pound Islamic State and Kurdish militant positions.

The Kurds have a strong presence and culture in northern Syria and southeastern Turkey.

Rebels linked to the Kurdish Worker’s Party, PKK, have been fighting for autonomy inside Turkey for decades, and a two-year cease-fire fell apart last year.

The PKK has been blamed for attacks in Turkey, including a blast Friday in southeastern Turkey that killed 11 police officers.

The PKK has been tabbed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the European Union.

Turkey considers Syrian Kurds a branch of the PKK and thus terrorists, but the United States, the EU and others do not, and have provided the Syrian Kurds support in the effort against the Islamic State.

“Turkey has no toleration for any terrorist organization activities within its borders and nearby,” Erdogan said.

Angela Merkel and Sigmar Gabriel.

OFFICIAL SAYS U.S.-EU TRADE TALKS HAVE FAILED Free trade negotiations between the U.S. and the European Union over the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) have failed, Germany’s economy minister Sigmar Gabriel said Sunday. Negotiators said they hoped to reach an accord by year’s end. “In my opinion, the negotiations with the United States have de facto failed, even though nobody is really admitting it,” Gabriel said in Berlin, the Associated Press reported.

He said the two sides haven’t agreed on a single item out of 27 chapters being discussed. The controversial deal has met opposition on both sides of the Atlantic. But Gabriel’s comments contrast with those of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said recently that TTIP was “absolutely in Europe’s interest.”

Scottish police say the men are expected to be arraigned Monday at a court near Glasgow to face charges connected to Britain’s transport safety laws.

IRAN CLOSER TO COMPLETING NATIONAL INTRANET Iran launched the first phase of its “National Data Network,” the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported Sunday. IRNA says the network is trying to promote “access to data with higher accuracy and quality and lower cost,” according to AP. Critics contend that it is merely a propaganda vehicle that will reduce user dependency on the Internet and lead to further crackdowns. Earlier this month, Iran targeted hundreds of social media users following a May crackdown on women modeling on Instagram. Iran says the initial idea behind the project dates to 2010, though “practical work” on it started only two years ago. The second phase of the project will go online in February 2017.

Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Here’s something new for investors to fret over: the fall. The season isn’t typically the friendliest for stocks. But investors can still enjoy big gains in this potentially perilous time of the year.

Ten stocks in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, including lighting company Acuity Brands (AYI), food processor Tyson Foods (TSN) and drugmaker Mylan (MYL), have excelled during the fall the past five years, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Each of these stocks have topped the S&P 500 each of the past falls and delivered average gains during the season of 13% or more.

Investors fear fall, in part, because it’s known as being the season with the most serious risk.

Many of the biggest stock market crashes, including the initial selloff of the financial crisis of 2008, happened in the fall. Stocks’ average decline from their highs during the season to the lows is 9.1%, making it the worst seasonal downward adjustment of all four seasons, says The Stock Trader’s Almanac.

Recently, though, things have turned. The S&P 500 has gained each of the past three falls, including a 5.2% rise in the fall of 2015. And even the drop in the fall of 2012 wasn’t all that bad, giving up just 2.1%.

There’s still money to be made in the fall. The biggest winner in the month in the past five years has been lighting company Acuity Brands. As the days get shorter, demand for the company’s stock apparently lights up. Shares of the company have gained an average of 20.6% over the past five falls, including most recently a 31.5% gain last fall. The company is profiting as commercial buildings are upgraded to more-efficient LED lighting, says Ryan Merkel, an analyst at William Blair.

Last year’s 27% gain was especially noteworthy. Investors initially panicked over a World Health Organization report issued early in the fall of 2015 about the safety of processed foods. But as the season wore on, memories faded fast. Analysts think the stock will be worth more than 4% more than the current price of $75 a share in 18 months.

Mylan might hope for a fall miracle. Shares of the drugmaker are down 20% this year to $43.03 a share, most recently over ire about the company’s price hikes of its EpiPen. But the stock has gained 17% in each of the past five fall seasons and could be set up to do it again. Analysts think there’s 35% upside on the stock.

Start-ups are surging again, but for new reasons More entrepreneurs driven by opportunity rather than necessity Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The economy has been mired in a funk since late last year, but there's cause for optimism: Business start-up activity has returned to near prerecession levels.

Eric Griffin and his partner, Dennis O’Donnell, are part of the shift. In January, the duo launched a Philadelphia-based company called PAW5 that sells bowls and feeding mats to make meals a healthier, more interactive experience for pets.

They already owned a cellphone-related company, but struggled to persuade their bank to increase their line of credit from $100,000 to $300,000 to fund the venture — until this year.

About 550,000 new businesses were launched each month last year, on average, up from 466,000 in 2013, according to figures released this month by the Kauffman Foundation based on Census Bureau and Labor Department data. That’s the highest level since 2009 and 2010, but the totals in those years were inflated by the economic downturn, which forced many laid-off workers to start their own consulting firms or other enterprises to generate income.

Dennis O’Donnell, a founder of Philadelphia-based PAW5, demonstrates one of the company’s bowls for pets.

The current crop of entrepreneurs is more likely to form a business based on a viable idea, increasing the chances that the ventures will be successful and longer-lasting, says Dane Stangler, Kauffman’s vice president of research and policy.

“Now that the unemployment rate has fallen (to 4.9% from 10% in 2009), you’re seeing people start businesses not out of necessity … but because they’re pursuing an opportunity that’s better than staying at their organization and at salaried jobs,” Stangler says.

The share of entrepreneurs

PAW5

motivated by opportunity rather than necessity reached 84% last year, up from 79% in 2014 and 74% in 2009, a Kauffman report says.

Griffin is encouraged by strong consumer spending, particularly in the pet space.

“We feel very confident the U.S. economy is strong and will continue to be strong,” he says.

The number of business startups with at least one employee — a subset that better captures firms that contribute significantly to economic growth — is also rising.

There were 398,000 additional

employer businesses that were a year old or younger last year, up 7% from 2014 and the most since 2008, according to the Labor Department.

New entrepreneurs are critical to a dynamic economy because they’re more likely to come up with innovations that boost productivity, says Diane Swonk, head of DS Economics. Productivity, or output per labor hour, fell for the third straight quarter in the April-June period and recorded its first annual decline in three years. Fledgling firms are also more likely to add workers rapidly.

“It’s all part of what a healing economy is about,” Swonk says.

Driving the increase in entrepreneurship, in part, are rising home values that have allowed small-business owners to again use their houses as collateral to take out loans after the mid-2000s housing crash stifled such activity, Stangler says.

Lenders originated home equity lines of credit with limits of $146.1 billion last year, up 20% from 2014, according to Equifax.

Consumers, including entrepreneurs, also have begun using credit cards more freely, Swonk says.

And banks generally have increased lending to small businesses.

Also, the low unemployment rate has made workers more willing to quit their jobs and take a risk. And the Affordable Care Act is making it easier for them to obtain health insurance outside of company-sponsored plans.

TRAVEL

Aloft hotels debut Solar, biofuel are making voice-controlled rooms inroads into ASK THE CAPTAIN

air travel

Nancy Trejos @nancytrejos USA TODAY

Aloft Hotels are taking Apple’s Siri to a new level.

The boutique hotel chain, part of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, has unveiled a voiceactivated hotel room.

These rooms have iPads running a custom Aloft app that can be used to control the temperature, lighting and more with HomeKit-enabled accessories via Siri, the voice-activated function.

So far, the Aloft Boston Seaport and Aloft Santa Clara in California have the technology in place, as part of the chain’s “Project: Jetson” initiative.

“Today’s early-adopter, hyperconnected global traveler wants a level of personalization unlike ever before, and that means being able to control their hotel experience with the sound of their voice,” says Brian McGuinness of Aloft Hotels.

Hotels are increasingly experimenting with technology that will capitalize on people’s desire to control everything via their smartphones and iPads.

Already, Aloft has a TiGi (“text it, get it”) program that lets guests order room service by texting Emojis.

Parent company Starwood — along with other hotel giants such as Hilton Worldwide, Marriott International, Choice Hotels, and Hyatt Hotels — are experimenting with keyless entry, or letting guests check in via their mobile devices and using their SmartPhones to unlock their doors.

Hilton is even letting their HHonors members pick the rooms they want from a digital map. The company also has integrated Google Maps into its app to let frequent guests who book directly with them see where the room will be in relation to the property’s surroundings.

Hotels have used Apple devices and functions in the past to try to improve the guest experience.

Some, such as the new Bernic Hotel in Manhattan, have installed Apple TVs in their rooms.

Four Aloft Hotels — including the ones in Boston and Santa Clara — also have Apple TVs. Starwood Hotels and Resorts has an app for the AppleWatch. Starwood Preferred Guests can use their AppleWatches to unlock their doors.

ALOFT HOTELS

Aloft hotels in Boston and Santa Clara, Calif., are testing out iPads that let guests give voice commands via Apple’s Siri for actions such as changing room temperature and lighting.

BABILONIAFOTO

Other hotels have been experimenting with Apple products.

The Bernic Hotel in Manhattan has Apple TVs in guestrooms.

As far as the latest technology goes, when guests launch the app on Aloft’s in-room iPad upon check-in, they will get a personalized welcome screen advising them on how to set up their rooms. Each iPad offers a tutorial on how to use the technology. But basically, guests will begin any requests with “Hey Siri.”

For instance, if they wake up feeling too hot at 2 a.m., they can say “Hey Siri, cool the room.”

To change the lighting, they can ask Siri to set it to one of four moods. They only have to ask Siri to turn on or turn off the lights or they can just say good morning, and Siri will most likely understand which setting to apply.

Guests also will be able to ask Siri to play music playlists as long as they are signed into their iTunes accounts. The music will play through personal devices.

And if guests want to figure out what to do while at their destination, Siri can act as a virtual concierge if asked something like “Hey Siri, what are some attractions near me?”

Robert Cole, a hospitality technology consultant and founder of Rock Cheetah, says Aloft is moving in the right direction, but will likely face implementation problems, such as the cost of buying iPads for each room.

“The bottom line is, how much does it increase the guest experi-

ence and simplify the guest experience and surprise and delight the guest vs. the cost,” he says. “I can go say, ‘Siri, open the drapes,’ but is it much more difficult to do it myself?”

He also says guests may also prefer to use their own iPads rather than a device that belongs to the hotel because of security concerns.

“Many guests may not be comfortable with that,” he says.

But Aloft says that its app, designed by DigiValet, knows when a room is checked into and when it’s checked out of. When a guest checks out, it sends a message to the app that erases all the data that the previous guest entered.

The app is completely clean once the next guest shows up.

Not all the technology that hotels have adopted has resulted in a rollout to other properties.

For instance, Marriott last year experimented with letting guests use Apple Pay at retail locations such as coffee shops at select hotels. That test is now over and there are no plans to expand on the program, a company spokesman says.

Sarah Downing, vice president of Global Guest Initiatives and Innovation at Aloft Hotels, says she expects guests to applaud their latest innovation.

“The new Aloft voice-activated hotel rooms are going to change the way that our guests interact, literally, with their room during their stay with us,” she says.

Q: With the completion of the fully solar powered round-the-world flight, does this mean that commercial jets will start incorporating solar energy at some point?

— J from Ottawa A: It is unlikely commercial jets will begin to use solar power in the near future. Solar Impulse 2 uses electric motors with power collected via solar panels. Currently there are no electrically powered jet engines, making the burning of jet fuel necessary for the needed thrust. All of the electric airplanes made so far use propellers. There is an industry commitment to utilize renewable fuels, but the limitations of solar power make it more likely that the focus will be on biofuels.

Solar Impulse 2 pilot recently completed its around-theworld flight.

Q: What is the future of biological fuels for aircraft?

— Andrea Granahan, Bodega, Calif.

A: As the price of these fuels decreases, they increasingly become a reasonable alternative, and their use will continue to expand.

Q: Washington state ferries had problems with biodiesel gelling in cold weather. It makes me wonder if biodiesel jet fuel is safe.

— Submitted via email A: All jet fuel is tested for gelling. It is permitted to fly only after it is proven that it is safe in the flying environment (temperature and pressure). Because this is a change from Jet-A fuel, it will be watched closely. I do not expect it to be a problem.

NON-HACKING WAYS TO TRAVEL ON THE CHEAP

Special for USA TODAY

Philip Pragados thought he’d discovered a perfect travel hack: sharing his TSA PreCheck number, also called a “Known Traveler Number,” with a friend.

“She used it and was sent to the PreCheck line,” says Pragados, an IT consultant who lives in Washington.

People probe the system every day, looking for shortcuts. If Pragados had been right, this would have been a clever insider tip.

Imagine saving the $85 and application process and being able to use one of the faster lines, which allow you to avoid the full-body scanners and having to remove your shoes and laptop computers.

But it wasn’t a hack. Turns out a number isn’t enough to give you a PreCheck mark on your boarding pass. Travelers without PreCheck status can be sent to the preferred lines.

“Individuals may get TSA PreCheck via other mechanisms, where TSA uses intelligence information and Secure Flight passenger and itinerary information to determine if a traveler is lowrisk on any given flight,” says Bruce Anderson, a TSA spokesman.

And no, you can’t share your Known Traveler Number, the same way you may share the ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

You can’t share your TSA PreCheck number, also called a Known Traveler Number, the same way you may share the password to your favorite entertainment site. password to your favorite entertainment site.

When it comes to travel, everyone wants to be a hacker. Problem is, most of the hacks don’t work and may hurt more than they help. Maybe we should try to be smarter consumers instead.

Bogus travel hacks are so numerous, it’s hard to know where to start. How about with this one: You can find a cheaper hotel rate by phoning the property directly, bypassing the website or online agency? Nah, says Marcy Schackne, who works for a luggage company and is a very frequent traveler.

“I’ve tried this many times,” she says. “Never works. When the property is part of a national brand, there is an immediate redirect to the reservations call center and no room to be negotiated.”

Here’s another popular hotel “hack”: bribing the front desk guy for an upgrade.

“When you present your credit card and driver’s license up front, you slip a $20 or even a $100 in between,” says Mitch Goldstone, who works for an Irvine, Calif., technology company. Truth is, the clerk will often keep the money and give you the assigned room, thinking you just gave him a tip. “And you’re left with nothing,” he says.

Renting a car? Opaque travel sites used to be a great way to game the system. But lately, that’s not where to find the cheapest inventory, Clem Bason says. He ought to know, since he’s the former president of Hotwire.com, one of the sites that offers the deeply discounted cars.

uAirlines. Book your ticket when most people do (one to four months before you fly), and you’ll probably find a decent fare. Don’t buy too early or wait too long. Fares tend to rise just before departure. Don’t obsess about finding the lowest fare — you’ll waste your time saving a few dollars. u Car rental. Once you’ve followed Bason’s advice, checking Costco, AAA and the direct websites of car rental companies, you may want to check one of the opaque sites such as Priceline.com or Hotwire.com just to make sure they can’t do better. But he’s right: Often the car rental companies will have the lowest price and the most favorable terms. uHotels. The hotel pricing landscape is shifting under your feet. To find a great deal, check Google’s hotel search (google.com) or a meta-search site such as kayak.com. Consult an online agency such as Expedia.com or Booking.com to see if they can do better, and if you find a hotel you like, click on the property’s website to make sure there isn’t a better rate.

book — at places like Costco, AAA and the direct websites of Avis and Budget,” he says.

Then there are airlines. Ah, airlines! Almost every hack you’ve heard is probably inaccurate or

flat-out wrong. Among my favorites: Clear your cache to avoid high airfares, don’t use a Mac, buy 42 days in advance, book after midnight on a Tuesday.

“No,” says Charles McCool, a frequent traveler and independent trip planning coach. “I have never seen these tricks change any results.”

Pragados, the security consultant who discovered the TSA vulnerability, is relieved. He says he was more concerned about a potential security breach than finding a hack. “But it certainly puts the whole TSA PreCheck status in a different light. And sounds like a way for TSA to make money,” he says.

When you hear the word “hack,” don’t walk away — run.

That’s the assessment of Anne Klaeysen, leader of the New York Society for Ethical Culture. Many of these strategies involve lying, exaggerating or using the system in a way it wasn’t intended. All of those actions have consequences for other travelers, potentially leading to higher prices or more restrictive policies.

It’s far better to work within the rules. Instead of trying to game the system, make informed, common-sense purchases that reward the best companies with your business. Doing anything else may compromise your ethics.

“Besides,” Klaeysen says, “don’t you have anything better to do with your time than try to beat the system?”

Jennifer Lawrence, with Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin and Evan Ross, has sent the Hunger Games franchise into the stratosphere.

Hollywood pay gap shows little evidence of closing But actresses see the debate getting more prominence Maria Puente @usatmpuente USA TODAY

Is the campaign to close the Hollywood gender pay gap stalled? The gap is still wide — wider even than that for average working women — and older female stars have it even worse, according to new figures.

This is not news to anyone in Hollywood, particularly women.

But it’s getting way more Hollywood buzz now in part thanks to agitation by such boldfaced names as Oscar winners Cate Blanchett, Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Lawrence.

“The fact that people are paying attention to this is what’s new — it’s only in the last couple of years and only since the actresses started talking about it,” says activist Melissa Silverstein, founder of the Women and Hollywood website, which tracks the pay disparity.

“What’s happening now is that women in Hollywood are emboldened to talk about gender discrimination — you can’t turn a blind eye to this issue anymore.”

People are talking about it because once again, annual Hollywood earning data compiled by Forbes magazine illustrates the pay disparity. The magazine’s list of top-earning male stars, released Thursday, shows that Lawrence, who topped the magazine’s female stars list with $46 million, earned only about 71% of what the top male star, Dwayne Johnson, earned, at $64.5 million.

Lawrence would be only the 6th-highest-paid star if the male and female lists were combined.

For comparison purposes, the U.S. Census Bureau’s most recent calculations of median average pay for women and men, in September 2015, found that women make about 79 cents for every dollar paid to men, a statistic that hasn’t changed much in a halfdozen years.

That means ordinary working women are slightly better off in these sorts of calculations than the likes of Lawrence, star of one of the most lucrative box office movie franchises, The Hunger Games.

Forbes calculates the stars’ earnings from June 1, 2015, to June 1, 2016, before taxes and before the deduction of management fees, using data from Nielsen, Box Office Mojo and IMDb, and from interviews with agents, managers and lawyers. The calculations are not based on the box

Jennifer Aniston’s lucrative endorsement deals have helped keep her on top.

office revenue of stars’ movies.

The latest list, which repeats patterns from previous years, illustrates other discrepancies, such as the one for age: All of the top 10 male earners are over 40, compared with only half the top 10 female earners, which includes Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Aniston, Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts and Amy Adams.

So why is the pay gap in Hollywood still a reality? Because it’s still a reality in the larger culture, says Martha Lauzen, head of the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University.

“If that larger culture undervalues women’s contributions, it is no surprise that the film studios do the same,” Lauzen says.

“Contrary to popular belief, in many ways the mainstream film industry remains a staunch supporter and reinforcer of the status quo, particularly when we are talking about gender, race, and similar issues.”

Among the truisms Hollywood embraces is the idea that male stars are better box office draws than female stars, she says.

“It remains part of the conventional wisdom in the mainstream

“It’s great that people are continuing to talk about the pay gap in Hollywood, but the industry continues to undervalue the contributions of women.”

Melissa Silverstein, founder of the website Women and Hollywood

film industry, in spite of a growing body of research” that shows instead it’s “the size of the budget, not the sex of the protagonists or filmmaker, that determines box office grosses,” Lauzen says.

Cathy Schulman, Oscar-winning veteran producer and president of Women In Film, Los Angeles (most recently head of production at STX, where her film Bad Moms is a summer hit “must see” for female audiences), says there is a “round-robin” of problems behind pay inequity, including male-favoring global audiences, unconscious bias, and the length of time it takes women to get their next paying industry job compared with men.

But one bottom line, she says, is that “women actors aren’t given pay raises at the same rate as men are — it’s just a fact.” She says the payment system in Hollywood is based on “previous quotes,” or whatever the talent was paid in a previous job coupled with success of the movie.

“What we’re seeing is that when people are getting raises, it’s directly related to whether it follows a hit movie,” Schulman says. “But the jumps in ‘quote’ are way bigger for men than they are for women at the moment, and it

has to do with who is doing the negotiating and who is buying the talent. We’ve not seen the agencies, studios and financers fight for that kind of quote-doubling with women as much as men.”

Silverstein argues that looking back at previous Forbes lists suggests that the Hollywood pay gap, while still too wide, has shrunk slightly in recent years. But it’s still not right, she says.

“Women have to be paid more in films, but the problem is the way to do it is to be in bigger-budget movies, and those kinds of movies are pretty much closed out to women because that is how (Hollywood) is structured,” she says.

Kirsten Schaffer, executive director of Women In Film, Los Angeles, which promotes equal opportunity for women in the industry, says there aren’t enough roles for women in the kinds of movies that have mega-box office.

“The solution is studios putting out more films with women at the center, marketing them well and audiences buying tickets,” Schaffer says. “We know there is an audience for films starring women — it’s been proven with ticket sales. Change takes time, but we are definitely seeing greater awareness of the gender pay gap, which is the first step. We expect to see greater changes in the coming years.”

Silverstein notes that figuring out compensation is a complicated matter in Hollywood. She says that compared with male stars, female stars’ total compensation in a given year more often includes income from something other than movie salaries.

“Women in Hollywood are valued not only for their movies roles but for their endorsements,” Silverstein says, pointing to Aniston, who was not in big-budget movies last year but continues to make the list because she has significant endorsement deals.

“That is the reality of women in Hollywood,” Silverstein says.

“Representing brands is basically a normal route for an actress because she and her team know that the possibility of earning significant money for just film work is not available for a woman.”

Friday was Women’s Equality Day, to commemorate the 1920 ratification of 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.

“It’s great that people are continuing to talk about the pay gap in Hollywood, but the industry continues to undervalue the contributions of women,” Silverstein says. “Jennifer Lawrence is one of the biggest stars in the world, and the fact she is paid less on an annual basis for all her accomplishments illustrates the work that needs to be done.”

It was June of 2013, and Max, 16 at the time, was running and bouncing with some friends around a trampoline park in Houston when he encountered a rip in one of the bouncy canvases and disappeared

into the hole. Trace said her son crashed to a concrete floor four to five feet below the defective trampoline and fractured his skull.

“David Beaty jumped into the hole to help him,” Trace told the JournalWorld in a phone interview from her home in Houston.

It’s not as if Beaty per-

The Associated Press

Kansas City, Mo. — Chiefs safety Eric Berry signed his franchise tender and reported to camp Sunday, though he is almost certain to miss Kansas City’s preseason finale against Green Bay this week.

Berry was given the franchise tag early in the offseason but had not signed the deal, which means he could skip all of training camp without being

Tim Tebow’s baseball bid offers something for everyone

By David Whitley Orlando Sentinel (TNS)

At the risk of sounding like half of America, I am thrilled we’re just two days away from Tim Tebow’s grand return.

And at the risk of sounding like half of America, I am disgusted we’re just two days away from Tim Tebow’s notso-grand return.

In case you’ve been locked in a Brazilian gas-station bathroom, Tebow is working out for about two dozen Major League Baseball teams on Tuesday, hoping to jump-start a new career.

Scouts will gather somewhere in Los Tim Tebow Angeles and the big event will be closed to the public.

ESPN is currently positioning spy satellites over every sandlot in Southern California hoping to get exclusive footage for its new network, ESPN-Tebow.

Not that I have any room to make fun because I’m milking this for all it’s worth.

Tebow haters should be more thrilled than anyone with his latest career move because chances are he’ll be a complete flop.

I’ve always had a weakness for clean-living people who do nice things for humanity, so I hope Tebow turns into Roy Hobbs. I also believe he has as much chance of making the majors as Robert Redford. But what’s the harm in trying?

So what if a team signs him to a minor league contract as a marketing ploy? God forbid if a few thousand people show up in Bluefield, W.Va., to watch a baseball team they otherwise didn’t know existed.

And it’s not as if he’d take up a valuable roster spot. Approximately 6,100 players are in the minor leagues. If Tebow knocks someone down to No. 6,101, that guy was not exactly destined to be the next Mike Trout.

The anti-Tebows wonder why a guy who hasn’t done anything athletically in five years deserves more attention than Michael Phelps. As Clint Eastwood told Gene Hackman in Unforgiven, “Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.”

Then he shot him in the head.

Whether he deserves it or not, people care about Tebow.

When word leaked a couple of weeks ago that he was following in Michael Jordan’s baseball footsteps (though MJ was slightly more successful at his first sport), it became the thirdbiggest story in the universe.

Is Tebow sincere? Is he deluded? Is he a Kardashian?

Let the debate rage.

As with his quixotic QB adventures, the only person who could get hurt here is Tebow.

That’s why everybody should cheer his return.

If you love to see him succeed, it could be the start of another great adventure. If you love to see him flop, he could be giving you just what you want.

ENDWELL, N.Y., PITCHER RYAN HARLOST, CENTER, celebrates with teammates after getting the final out of the Little League World Series Championship baseball game against South Korea on Sunday in South Williamsport, Pa.

U.S. team wins Little League World Series South Williamsport, Pa. — Harlost led New York to the Little League World Series title, striking out eight and limiting South Korea to five hits in six innings in a 2-1 victory. He scored the deciding run on a passed ball in the fourth inning.

But it was more than just another game.

Endwell snapped a five-year championship drought for U.S. teams on Little League’s biggest stage and gave New York its first title since 1964. Huntington Beach, Calif., won in 2011 and Mid Island from Staten Island won New York’s last World Series championship.

KANSAS PITCHER STEPHEN VILLINES READIES A PITCH for the Falmouth Commodores in the Cape Cod League during a June 15 game against Yarmouth-Dennis.

Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

KU’s closer, Villines, usually threw in the eighth inning for the Commodores, and he credited his defense behind him for his success, allowing him to attack hitters with his pitches.

“Steve had an unbelievable summer,” Stoll said of Villines. “He had one night in Orleans where he walked a guy and gave up a home run. Other than that, he was extremely effective and he was part of the best bullpen I’ve ever seen in the summers that I’ve been going up there.”

Montes de Oca, who missed the start of the summer season because

His mother thinks that simple interaction might have kept Max going.

“It was an amazing thing that (Beaty) happened to be there that day,” Trace said, “because what he talked about in his deposition was his training as a coach — because he had a player or two before who had seizures or something like that — just kind of went into effect. And he was able to hold Max and keep him calm and talk to him and all that kind of stuff.

It was just a miracle to us that that particular kind of person with that skill set was there at the park.”

For a time, the Menchaca family only knew Beaty as “the man in the blue shirt.” One of Max’s friends happened to take a picture at the scene of the accident. It showed a barefoot Beaty, wearing shorts and a blue T-shirt, Kawinpakorn standing with the injured finishes with 82 boy as paramedics helped him.

Big 6th inning propels Royals

BRIEFLY Brookings, S.D. — Kansas freshman Katie McClure scored the first goal of her career, and the Jayhawks tied South Dakota State, 1-1, on Sunday in women’s college soccer.

The draw moved KU to 2-1-1 and extended the Jayhawks’ McClure unbeaten streak to three games, and South Dakota State went to 1-2-1.

“Today was just the same story of our previous games so far — a lot of chances, but the quality still isn’t there,” KU coach Mark Francis said. “We need to move on and learn from this. Hopefully we’ll show up to training tomorrow and the rest of this week focused and ready to go. If we do those things, we should have a better team take the field against Nebraska on Friday.”

McClure’s goal put KU ahead 37 minutes into the match. The Jackrabbits tied the game when midfielder Madison Yueill scored with just over eight minutes remaining.

KU goalkeeper Maddie Dobyns made three saves and came about eight minutes short of her third straight shutout.

The Jayhawks will meet Nebraska at 7 p.m. Friday in Lincoln, Neb.

he was recovering from surgery on his pitching elbow, made seven appearances for the Commodores. He struck out 10 in nine innings, giving up six earned runs and walking six.

It was McLaughlin’s first time playing in the Cape Cod League and it left a strong impression because of location, fans, host families, food and competition.

“That’s the thing about it, it’s not even the schools that are impressive,” McLaughlin said. “The three most dominant guys on our summer team were from Lipscomb. So it’s like a guy comes out from Jacksonville State and he’s throwing mid-tohigh 90s and he’s dealing, it’s like, ‘Holy cow.’ It just goes to show you how

many good players there are in college baseball.”

Villines and Montes de Oca both played for the Commodores in the last two seasons. The two, along with McLaughlin, made the 24-hour drive together after the season back to the Midwest.

“Both years have been unbelievable,” Villines said. “A lot of it, for me, is the guys on the team.

You’re around each other every day, either practicing or games, going to the bus rides, going to dinner after, all those kinds of things.”

Despite a championship-game loss, Stoll said it was those relationships that made the summer and final games so enjoyable.

“It was an incredible run,” Stoll said. “It was a lot of fun to be a part of.”

band Mike loves Texas and their daughter Lea attends Oklahoma State.

Already grateful for Beaty’s impact on Max’s life, that sentiment grew for the Menchacas during the trial this past March, upon hearing video depositions from the head coach and his wife, Raynee, both of whom witnessed the calamity up close.

Trace recalled the KU coach’s description of why he decided to help: “I knew that this kid was somebody’s family treasure and I would want somebody to take care of my kid like that.”

According to court documents cited in a report on the case from Law360.com, the accident caused bleeding on Max’s brain and led to significant memory loss and seizures. A jury eventually deemed the business 100 percent responsible for Max’s injuries, and awarded him more than $11 million. Cosmic Jump in Houston was permanently closed.

None of the Menchacas, including Max, now 19, have had a chance to speak with Beaty in person since the incident.

But that soon will change.

The family reached out following the trial to thank Beaty, which led the coach to invite them to attend KU’s Oct. 22 home game against Oklahoma State.

According to his mother, Max, a sophomore at Sam Houston State, can’t wait for their trip to Memorial Stadium.

“He’s just excited to go to a big game like that because he goes to a smaller school,” Trace said. “And he’s thrilled to be able to shake (Beaty’s) hand and tell him thank you.”

The family matriarch says the Menchacas always will think of Beaty fondly because of what he did. Trace said upon suffering such a traumatic brain injury, Max’s personality changed.

“For us, David Beaty is the person who was with him those last moments when he was the old Max. That’s what kind of makes it a real special thing for us,” she said.

“Our son was in his most critical moments and in a traumatic crisis. This person was here with him.

And to know it was someone who is well-liked and well-respected, it’s just an honor.”

Trace said it took her a long time to grieve the loss of the Max she once knew. She said he lost the ability to do math as a result of the head trauma.

But she shared he is a film major at Sam Houston State.

“We are big advocates for people with disabilities being able to try life,” Max’s mother said. “Even if everything says this kid won’t ever graduate from college, because how’s he ever gonna take the math requirements, we want him to at least try life and go to college and experience all that you can. That is our life takeaway from all of this. Even though he has this disability, he’s still going to be able to do great things. They’re just different things.”

And, because KU’s football coach played a part in her son’s future, Trace always will root for Beaty.

“Anybody whose kid is in his program should feel fortunate,” she said, “because if you’re sending your kid to play for him, he’s gonna take care of those kids.”

Boston (ap) — Raul Mondesi hit a bases-loaded triple and Eric Hosmer added a two-run single during an eight-run sixth inning, lifting the surging Kansas City Royals to a 10-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night.

Salvador Perez hit his third solo homer in two games for Kansas City, which took two of three at Fenway Park and got its 17th win in 21 games.

David Ortiz hit his 534th career homer, a solo shot, for the Red Sox, tying Jimmie Foxx for 18th on the career list. Boston has lost four of five.

Matt Strahm (2-0) pitched 2 2/3 innings of hitless relief for the win.

Eduardo Rodriguez (2-6) gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings before the bullpen allowed five more in the sixth.

The Royals chased Rodriguez and regained the lead in the sixth after the Red Sox moved ahead in the fifth.

Alcides Escobar had an RBI single before Mondesi rocked his triple to the outfield-wall triangle in center. Cheslor Cuthbert had a run-scoring fielder’s choice grounder before Lorenzo Cain added an RBI single.

Robbie Ross Jr. relieved and gave up Hosmer’s two-run single off the Green Monster before getting the final two outs.

Boston capitalized on center fielder Paulo Orlando’s error to score three times off starter Yordano Ventura in the fifth. Chris Young singled and Orlando dropped Sandy Leon’s fly at the track, putting runners on second and third before a walk.

think our people in the athletic department have done a remarkably great job of being creative and generating revenue and those sorts of things. But the one thing that is out there for us still to tap into is football and the resources that can potentially bring in.”

Resources, in this case, is another word for revenue. Even with the football program struggling mightily during the past six years, KU’s athletic department has ranked in the Top 25 or so among all NCAA universities in athletic department revenue.

Simple math helps explain things. This season, the men’s basketball team is slated to play 17 games inside Allen Fieldhouse.

The football team, meanwhile, will play six times at Memorial Stadium.

hoops team continues to sell out Allen Fieldhouse for those 17 home dates, that’s just over 277,000 tickets for the entire basketball season. In short, the football program, in one game, can produce close to the same kind of ticket revenue that the men’s basketball team generates in multiple games. And that’s to say nothing of the added revenue for concessions, merchandise and parking.

Self’s a football fan and he follows the program with great interest. But David Beaty’s squad keeping Self’s attention has as much to do with the bottom line for the KU athletic department as it does Self’s love of handoffs and hail marys. Still, it’s not hard to see that Self’s support for the football is genuine and rooted in his belief that a winning football program brings as much pride and excitement to a college campus as just about anything.

“Back when (Todd) Reesing and Kerry (Meier) and Aqib (Talib) were all here, people got excited on Wednesday to go to the game on Saturday,” Self recalled. “And that’s something we need to get back.”

Phillies 5, Mets 1 New York — A.J. Ellis got a big hit in his Philadelphia debut, breaking a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double that sent Philadelphia to a victory over New York.

Vince Velasquez and four relievers quieted a streaking Mets lineup that was minus ailing sluggers Yoenis Cespedes (quad) and Neil Walker (back).

New York also lost shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the first inning.

He exited with soreness in his left knee, a problem area that’s sidelined him twice before this season.

Dodgers 1, Cubs 0 Los Angeles — Brock Stewart and four relievers combined on a four-hitter and Andrew Toles scored on a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning, leading Los Angeles past Jon Lester and Chicago.

Los Angeles remained two games ahead of San Francisco in the NL West.

Stewart struck out eight in five innings of two-hit ball, and Jesse Chavez, Grant Dayton, Joe Blanton and Kenley Jansen finished. Blanton (5-2) got the win, and Jansen worked the ninth for his 39th save.

With one out in the eight, pinch-hitter Toles was hit by a pitch, and then Trevor Cahill (3-4) threw away Howie Kendrick’s short roller, allowing Toles to reach third.

After an intentional

walk and a strikeout, Adrian Gonzalez hit a grounder toward third, and Javier Baez doubleclutched before throwing too late for a force play at second base, allowing Toles to score.
