Firefighter files lawsuit against police, city

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Lawrence firefighter suing the city says he voiced his disapproval over what he deemed to be police brutality, and then left the scene under arrest and with a broken arm.

Armenta

Alleges officers broke his arm, used excessive force

The lawsuit, which accuses the Lawrence Police Department of using both excessive and negligent force, could cost the city nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

Witnesses say one officer bashed a man’s head against a squad car, then “manhandled” and “beat” Lawrence firefighter Miguel Armenta after police arrived at Lawrence’s

VFW hall, 1801 Massachusetts St., to break up an argument on the afternoon of April 19, 2014.

However, police say nobody was beaten and that officers acted within their

Topeka — The state of Kansas announced last week that it has hammered out agreements with Colorado and Nebraska to make sure Kansas gets its fair share of water out of the Republican River basin, which they hope will put an end to nearly 20 years of litigation over those water rights.

“We certainly hope and believe so,” said David Barfield, chief engineer at the Division of Water Resources in the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

Kansas sued Colorado and Nebraska in 1998, alleging each state had violated a compact that was first signed in 1943 that allocates water rights in the basin among the three states.

Kansas alleged that farmers and ranchers in the other two states were pumping too much water from underground to irrigate their fields, which had the effect of reducing stream flow in the basin, robbing Kansas farmers of the water to

EVA BELLE (KARVA) SCOUFFAS Eva Belle (Karva) Scouffas, 91, died August 27, 2016, at Pioneer Ridge in Lawrence, KS. She was the first child of Anton and Belle Karva, born on July 1, 1925, in Urbana, IL. She was a graduate of Urbana High School where she lettered in basketball and graduated with honors.

Eva attended the University of Illinois on an academic scholarship where she studied French.

She met John Scouffas just before entering college and left when they decided to marry. Eva and John were married in Mineral Wells, TX, where John was stationed before leaving for duty in Europe during World War II. They were married on December 25, 1943.

After living in New Hampshire for 10 years, Eva and John returned to Urbana with their children.

When her youngest of five children started school, Eva worked as a secretary at Webber Elementary and Yankee Ridge Elementary Schools in Urbana. She worked for District 116 for more than 20 years.

Eva was also very involved in her community. She served as President of the Urbana School District PTA and Webber School PTA. Eva volunteered as a Cub Scout den mother and at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. She also served on the Urbana Park District's Community Advisory Board and for many years served as a volunteer poll watcher for numerous elections. She felt strongly that voting was a duty, not a privilege.

Her greatest joy, however, was her family!

Travel and camping were also very high on her list of favorites. John and Eva travelled to Greece twice and all over the United States. Her most favorite place on this earth was Dead Swede Campground in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains.

She loved sleeping in a tent, hiking, trout fishing and just being in the beautiful

BRIEFLY K-State University cuts library hours Manhattan (ap) — Routine all night-access to Kansas State University’s Hale Library has ended, with the building closing at midnight most nights to save money.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Kansas State said in an email that its libraries lost nearly $1 million over the past two years from a drop in general funds and lower enrollment. The email says the funding reductions come at a time when costs are rising.

Scaling back hours will save $110,000 annually, largely by paring back security and custodial needs. The library also is making staffing and subscription cuts.

The lawsuit lists the City of Lawrence, Lawrence police officers Timothy Froese, Frank McClelland and Sgt. Craig Shanks as defendants.

The lawsuit is seeking $225,000 in compensation for Armenta’s injuries. It claims three points where the defendants are at fault: l Use of excessive force. l Supervisory liability of Shanks. l Negligent use of force.

Lawrence City Attorney Toni Wheeler declined to comment for this article, but in court filings she denied Armenta’s claims that officers used excessive force.

Instead, she argued they acted “within the scope of their employment.”

After Armenta was arrested, he was found guilty of interfering with his own arrest; however, he was also acquitted of two other interfering with law enforcement charges.

Armenta also declined to comment for this article.

Ball game and argument On Saturday, April 19, 2014, Armenta — a U.S. Navy veteran who served in the first Gulf War — and a group of friends and VFW members rented a party bus to attend a Kansas City Royals game.

The following details come from Douglas County District Court documents, which include transcripts of witness and police officer testimony: An argument broke out between one of the bus riders — a Matthew Freeborn — and his girlfriend.

The argument intensified in the parking lot of the VFW, and a nearby resident called the police.

At the same time another VFW member came outside to intervene in the argument. He separated Freeborn from his girlfriend and put him into a truck, effectively ending the conflict.

Once Freeborn was inside the truck, Lawrence Police Officer Frank McClelland arrived on the scene, ordered him out of the vehicle and placed him in handcuffs.

McClelland, in court documents, said he was dispatched to the scene expecting to find a fight involving four men. He

which they were entitled.

Cases involving disputes between states are handled directly by the U.S. Supreme Court, and in 2002 that court accepted a settlement that had been reached in the case.

But beginning in 2005, Barfield said, Nebraska began violating the terms of that settlement, leading to another series of negotiations among all three states.

Barfield said the agreements reached last week set out specific procedures for making sure Colorado and Nebraska comply with terms of that 2002 settlement, providing that during dry years, when the stream flow is below its normal rate, an additional 40,000 acre-feet of water — or roughly 13 billion

described Freeborn as “intoxicated and uncooperative and belligerent,” and soon called for backup.

Witnesses said as several officers worked to put Freeborn into a patrol car, McClelland became aggressive.

“After Matt was detained, he was handcuffed, the police officer walked him to the car ... and Matt was saying, ‘What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong?’”

VFW Member Joe Gardenhire said in the court filings. “The police officer reached, grabbed Matt by the back of the neck, and threw him twice into the car head first or face first.

“I could see from the gate that there was a clear dent in the side of the vehicle that they — that they used Matt’s head to dent it,” he added.

Gardenhire said other members of the crowd — mainly standing on the VFW’s patio — were swearing and shouting, calling the act “unprofessional.” At the time Gardenhire said he was standing by the patio’s gate because he didn’t want the crowd to interfere with the officer.

Once Freeborn was in the patrol car, officers headed toward the patio, saying they wanted to make sure the scene remained calm. That is when police began to interact with Armenta, the off-duty firefighter and the plaintiff in the lawsuit.

“So when that whole thing went down and they started approaching the gate, Miguel (Armenta) was saying, ‘I can talk to them. I can talk to them.

I know them. I can talk to them,’” Gardenhire said.

Saying they heard or saw people scuffling on the patio, the officers entered the patio area.

Additional arrests On the patio, officers began arresting people after seeing some of them “scuffling,” according to court documents.

As Lawrence police officer Timothy Froese watched another officer arrest a woman, he said in court filings that he observed Armenta standing too close to the scene of the arrest.

Sgt. Shanks also said gallons of water — will reach Kansas.

In Colorado, he said, that state bought back water rights on 12,000 acres of irrigated farmland along the South Fork Republican River so it can be pumped through a pipeline into the North Fork of the river.

The state of Nebraska, he said, is taking similar measures to put more water into the river, where eventually it will be impounded at the Harlan County Reservoir, about 96 miles north of Hays, just north of the KansasNebraska state line.

The biggest beneficiaries of the agreements will be about 350 landowners in the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District, an area of about 40,000 acres of irrigated farmland in northcentral Kansas.

Pete Gile, who heads that water district, said he was pleased with the agreements because

in court documents that he saw Armenta and said he was interfering with the woman’s arrest. He ordered Froese to arrest him.

Armenta testified he was simply standing back, following the advice of Gardenhire, who was yelling at his friends to remain calm. Then he noticed Froese approaching.

“And I’m not sure if he’s coming towards me or not, so I’m putting my hands up and I’m backing up,” he said.

Gardenhire said the officers moved Armenta backward and forcefully took him to the ground.

“Then they jumped on him and pounce on him ... And then they manhandled him and beat him just like they beat Matt,” he said. “Pushing his face into the concrete. Wrenching his arm behind his back, and just manhandling him.”

Soon Officer McClelland came to help and, alongside Froese and Shanks, the three forced Armenta into handcuffs.

The encounter broke and sprained Armenta’s left arm.

Alongside the others arrested at the scene, Armenta was placed in a squad car and booked into the Douglas County Jail. His criminal trial was held in February 2015, and Armenta was found guilty of one of three counts of interfering with law enforcement.

Armenta’s civil lawsuit, which was filed before his criminal case went to court, argues that police had no reason to arrest him in the first place.

“Froese, McClelland, Shanks and other police officers forced their way into the courtyard, despite the fact that no crime was being committed,” the lawsuit’s complaint says.

And once he was under arrest, the officers used excessive force while their supervisor, Shanks, “failed to take preventative measures against the wrongful conduct,” the complaint says.

A jury trial for the lawsuit is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Sept. 12.

farmers in that area had suffered during dry years when Colorado and Nebraska had overused their water rights.

“It looks like it’s going to give our irrigators more assurance and more certainty as far as water supply,” Gile said.

But Barfield said the agreements will also benefit all Kansas water users along the main stem of the Republican River, which feeds into Milford Lake near Junction City, which provides water storage for several municipalities.

From Milford Lake, the Republican River meets up with the Smoky Hills River at Junction City to form the Kansas River, which flows eastward through Topeka and Lawrence before reaching the Missouri River at Kansas City.

$1M of repairs in store for Bowersock Dam

Shareholders to vote on merger of Westar, Great Plains

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Shareholders of Topeka-based Westar Energy and Kansas City, Mo.-based Great Plains Energy will meet separately Sept. 26 to vote on a proposed merger between the two electric utilities.

Great Plains Energy is the holding company that owns Kansas City Power and Light. In May, it offered to buy Westar for $12.2 billion, which would include acquiring $3.6 billion of Westar’s outstanding debt.

A dam isn’t meant to have water flowing through it, but a portion of the 130-year-old dam across the Kansas River has been allowing just that. City engineers say the second phase of repairs to the Bowersock Dam — accounting for another $1 million of work — will ensure the water flows where intended.

that,” said Matt Bond, stormwater engineer for the city.

The repairs will be made to the southernmost third of the dam, and are part of the city’s five-year plan for capital improvements. The $1 million project is budgeted for 2018, but the ultimate decision of when it moves forward is dependent on budget

decisions made by the City Commission next year.

The first phase of reconstruction on the dam was done in 2010, after structural concerns were raised by the dam’s chief regulator, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. At that time, the city paid for $2.2 million of repairs on

The proposed merger is currently under review by the Kansas Corporation Commission and by various federal agencies. The Missouri Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in Missouri, is also being urged to review the case, although Great Plains contends Missouri has no jurisdiction in the matter.

The two companies hope to complete the merger in the spring of 2017.

the dam. The main element of that work was to stabilize the dam by replacing supports of wood and concrete with ones of steel piling and concrete.

Bond said the second phase of work will be similar. He said crews will be reinforcing the remainder of the dam by adding steel pilings upstream from where there is currently masonry. Leaving the leaks as they are, he said, isn’t an option.

On her third day of classes Monday at Baker University, Nicolasa Kenney entered the school’s Harter Union wearing a gray University of Kansas T-shirt.

The Lawrence freshman majoring in math and secondary education said she did give serious consideration to her hometown school before narrowing her college list to Baker, Benedictine College in Atchison and Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Mo. Kenney selected Baker because of the “homey feeling” she

got during visits.

“I like the one-on-one atmosphere,” she said.

“I sat in on a class last spring. Everyone was so welcoming even though they knew I was just visiting.”

A universitywide effort made it a very good year for new freshmen at Baker, said Danielle Yearout, Baker vice president of enrollment and marketing. After a disappointingly small freshman class a year ago, the Baldwin City private university bounced back with a healthy freshman enrollment of 241 students on last week’s “move-in > BAKER, 4A

SHELF LIFE

Local author Karen Vaughn talks T. rex with short story debut I t’s been a good month for Lawrence writers.

Author Karen Vaughn brings us the most recent piece of local literature with her debut, “A Kiss for a Dead Film Star,” a genre-blending collection of short stories.

Each story is tightly crafted with vivid and weird — yet oddly relatable — situations. In “The Piscine Age,” an aging couple, still deeply in love, must cope with the husband’s sudden and tragic growth of fishlike scales. It embodies themes of transformation, loss and the unknowable mysteries of the world that surface throughout the collection as a whole.

Fans of writers like Karen Russell and George Saunders will especially enjoy “A Kiss for a Dead Film Star,” but there’s something here for everyone in this artfully written collection of uncanny and human tales.

I was able to talk with Karen about her work ahead of the book’s release earlier this month: EH: What are some of your influences?

KV: Obviously, I am a tremendous fan of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

day,” she said. That compared with 189 freshmen a year ago.

Baker also successfully recruited 51 transfer students this year compared with 40 last year, Yearout said. The school’s total enrollment now stands at 881 students. There will be a slight adjustment in the numbers before Baker records its 20-day numbers, but that total traditionally changes by 10 or fewer students, she said.

The 292 new students were the most at the university since 307 new students enrolled in the prerecession year of 2007, Yearout said.

This year’s enrollment success wasn’t happenstance but the result of the university community’s concerted effort to develop enrollment “pipelines,” Yearout said. The effort included students consciously

time, thinking, my God, I didn’t know you were allowed to write like this.

Other writer influences are Jeanette Winterson, Vonnegut, Yann Martel, Dostoevsky and Francesca Lia Block. I’m also hugely inspired by film and the ways it can tell stories using purely visual language. Sergio Leone is very high on my list of favorite directors, as well as Guillermo del Toro, Danny Boyle and Ridley Scott. Basically, I’m passionate about any art that attempts something truly visionary, whether or not it fully succeeds. I am probably the only person on earth who will defend Darren Aronofsky’s “The Fountain.” Yes, it’s crazy, but I love it!

the body. It’s this strange machine that propels us through the world, our whole experience is funneled through it, but in many ways, even to scientists, its processes are unknowable. Who knows what is happening inside our body at any particular moment? It might be battling a virus, or it might be growing an extra liver. I love the idea that somewhere, right now, there is someone experiencing some kind of evolutionary leap.

favorite places in Lawrence to write?

KV: The Roost, Aimee’s, Java Break, although lately, much of my writing has been done at home. I love coffee shops because there is almost always good music playing and there’s a constant hum of conversation that makes it easier for me to immerse myself in my stories.

They are also fantastic places to people watch.

using social media tools in student recruitment and volunteering for visitation or orientation events.

It also extended to the school’s faculty, said Yearout, citing the effort of Frank Perez, Baker University director of bands. Perez visited area high schools last year for fun days and made a point of celebrating with young musicians signing to attend Baker. The school’s biology faculty also incorporated the Baker Wetlands into student recruitment by inviting high school students to special events at the center.

The university still draws most of its students from northeast Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area, Yearout said. But it has expanded its focus in that area to recruit from schools once overlooked.

The result is the school’s “most diverse class ever,” she said.

As part of that outreach, Baker successfully

recruited 14 freshmen Kauffman Foundation Scholars and now has 31 on campus, Yearout said.

The Kauffman Foundation Scholar program is an eight-year, $140 million initiative that provides higher education opportunities to lowincome students in the Kansas City area.

Freshman Mindy Lo is one of those new Kauffman Scholars. After graduating last spring from Sumner Academy in Kansas City, Kan., she considered KU, Emporia State University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City before choosing Baker.

“I liked it because it was small and strong in what I was looking for,” said Lo, who is majoring in exercise science.

Unlike some past strong enrollment years that occurred as some scholarships became available with the introduction of new sports programs, this year’s enrollment gains were sustainable, Yearout said.

“I’ve already got sights set for 308 next year,” she said. “I want to top 2007.”

Baker officials said last spring that the university would start strategic planning for the capital and academic upgrades needed to support an enrollment of 1,000 students on its Baldwin City campus. Yearout said, however, that the school could absorb the consistent addition of 300 new students a year outside of that effort.

“I think we might

have to look at a different housing policy to allow more off-campus living, but I think we have enough classroom space, faculty and academic services,” she said. “Housing would be the issue. It could be a boost economically to the community as well. When Baker wins, the whole community wins.”

Dam CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“If it goes unchecked over a long period of time, you run the risk of the dam breaching,” he said.

Since the 1970s, the city has legally been responsible for the maintenance of the dam, which is a key part of the city’s water supply system.

The city’s Kaw Water Treatment Plant is just upstream, and the dam holds water at the proper level in a collection pond. Like the repairs before it, the upcoming work will help shore up the dam and ensure the right level of water in the pond, Bond said.

“If something were to happen and we lose that portion of the dam, and we can’t hold water that high, then that’s when we have a problem,” Bond said.

The dam is operated by the privately owned Bowersock Mills and Power Company. Following phase one of the repairs, the power company constructed a new powerhouse on the north side of the Kansas River. The new powerhouse — specifically its four additional turbines — allows for increased energy production. The company sells the power to the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities.

The flow of the river will have to be diverted in order for the repairs to be completed. Water will run only through the north powerhouse, which will allow crews to work, said Sarah HillNelson, co-owner of Bowersock. Hill-Nelson said that the company may use that time to do its own infrastructure work, but it will depend on how the project gets designed.

Both Mary and Evan grew up in Lawrence, but moved away for about 20 years while Evan served in the Marine Corps. The couple lived all over the world while in the service, but when Evan retired, Mary said she insisted on coming back to Kansas.

The restaurant held a soft opening over the weekend, and is expected to open for good today. l As for the news of Lawrence Re-Cyclery moving, owner Brian Shay said the bike shop will be open on Sept. 20 in the new location, which is just one door to the west of the cafe. Shay said the business — which stocks about 100 used bikes for sale and operates a busy repair shop — is moving for a couple of reasons.

Reason No. 1 is the store has lost its lease at its current location of 924 Delaware St. in East Lawrence.

The Re-Cyclery is next door to the Decade coffee

shop, and Shay said plans are in the works for Decade to take over the bike shop so that the coffeehouse can add a kitchen to its operations. I’ll work to find out more information from the Decade folks about that soon.

Reason No. 2 for the move is that the new location will put the shop along a major bike route.

In addition to the levee trail, the shop’s new location is on the way to the popular Kansas River trail area, which attracts a lot of mountain bikers.

Plus, Shay said he likes being next to the cafe because it gives customers something to do while they are waiting for a quick repair to be completed on a bike.

“We think it is really going to be a good location for us,” Shay said.

Holt said she also was excited about the idea.

The two businesses already have partnered together to build some unique bike racks in front of the restaurant.

“We definitely have some synergy going on,” Holt said. “I think it is going to change the corner quite a bit.”

Osawatomie State Hospital readies for recertification review Osawatomie (ap) — Kansas officials say the conditions at Osawatomie State Hospital have improved since it lost its Medicare certification last year and that its psychiatric facility is ready for a federal inspection.

The facility in Osawatomie lost certification in December after federal inspectors expressed concerns about safety after a patient was charged in the rape of a staff member in October, The

Wichita Eagle reports.

Decertification has cost the state $8 million in federal aid so far. That amount will increase by about $1 million per month until the hospital is recertified.

Inspectors said the hospital had out-of-date facilities and was understaffed, which put workers and patients at risk.

A January 2015 inspection report by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said the hospital failed to

provide 24-hour nursing service for a patient who died from a bacterial infection that caused intestinal blockage.

The facility has had several renovations, including the installation of new ceilings, which is meant to prevent suicide attempts.

Facility officials said it now ensures patients receive 24-hour nursing care by now assigning each registered nurse to a group of no more than 15 patients.

Previously, nurses could

be responsible for up to 30 patients at a time.

Patients now must be checked on every 15 minutes and security officers are on site at all times.

Medical doctors are also on call at all times.

The state has applied for recertification. Inspectors are set to review the facility on Aug. 30.

Acting Secretary of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Tim Keck says the agency is confident that

the hospital is ready, but said that the staffing vacancy rate is still too high.

More than half of the full-time registered nurse

positions were vacant at the beginning of August, and a moratorium on new patients continues to be in effect.

BRIEFLY Gun violence panel, screening today The Lawrence-Douglas County League of Women Voters will host a film screening and panel discussion on gun violence prevention today.

As part of the event, the film “Making a Killing: Guns, Greed, and NRA� will be shown. The film investigates the ties between the gun industry and the NRA. Following the film, the League will moderate a panel discussion.

Panelists include Donald Haider-Markel, University of Kansas political science professor; Jeanne Crevier, the Kansas Chapter lead of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America; and Megan Jones, of Kansans Against Campus Carry.

The screening is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St.

EDITORIALS

ACT results Above-average test scores are continuing good news for Lawrence area schools.

S

tandardized test scores are but one measure of school performance and other factors must be considered in determining school quality and effectiveness.

Still, it’s comforting to know that in Lawrence, public and private school students are outperforming their peers statewide and nationally on the ACT. According to numbers released last week by the Lawrence school district, students at both of the city’s public high schools had above average scores for the 2015-16 school year.

At Free State High School, the average score was 23.8. At Lawrence High, the average score was 22.7.

In Kansas, the average ACT score was 21.9 while the national average was 20.8.

That means the Lawrence public schools were 3.6 percent higher than the Kansas average and 9 percent higher than the national average. It is the sixth straight year that Lawrence schools have topped state and national averages on the ACT. Bishop Seabury Academy and Veritas Christian School students also produced strong scores. Twenty-nine Bishop Seabury students took the ACT, averaging a composite score of 26.4, while nine Veritas Christian students took the ACT and averaged a composite score of 26.3.

The ACT consists of curriculum-based tests in English, math, reading and science, and is designed to measure skills needed for success in first-year college coursework. Students are scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score.

It’s good to know that while scores are above average school officials are not complacent. For example, Free State High School Principal Myron Garber said the school will administer the Pre-ACT test to all freshmen and sophomores this year to get assessments of individual student strengths and weaknesses to better prepare them for the full ACT test as juniors and seniors.

Principals at both Lawrence High and Free State indicated they would like to continue to increase participation in the ACT and take steps to increase scores.

The ACT is an important academic measurement because it indicates student preparedness for college. It is encouraging to know that in Lawrence, schools are consistently exceeding the bar established by schools throughout the state and nation.

Leader’s plagiarism will hurt Mexico The news that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto apparently plagiarized nearly 29 percent of his law school thesis couldn’t have come at a worse moment for Mexico. It will further weaken a president whose reputation is already tarnished by corruption scandals, at a time when his most important endeavor — Mexico’s education reform — is seriously threatened.

I don’t agree with some Mexican commentators who have minimized Pena Nieto’s plagiarism by painting it as a juvenile peccadillo, or tried to excuse it because it is a widespread practice among Mexican students, or who have criticized Mexican journalist Carmen Aristegui, who runs the website Aristegui Noticias, for blowing the case out of proportion.

Aristegui and her investigative team did what journalists are supposed to do: expose what politicians want to hide from the public.

If the report is true — and so far nobody has proven otherwise — the journalists deserve praise for their work.

According to the report, Pena Nieto plagiarized 197 of the 682 paragraphs of his 1991 law degree thesis on Mexico’s presidential system. It happened in 1991, when the current president was 25 years old and obtained his law degree at the

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

Universidad Panamericana.

Some Mexican newspapers are noting that top officials in other countries — including former Hungarian president Pal Schmitt, former Romanian prime minister Victor Ponta and three recent German cabinet ministers — were forced to quit their jobs for allegedly plagiarizing their theses.

(The exception to the rule is Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, according to Brookings Institute researchers, plagiarized much of his 1997 doctoral thesis in economics, without any known political consequences.)

All of this comes on the heels of several other scandals that have affected the Pena Nieto government, including a dubious bid — since nullified — for construction of a $3.7 billion Mexico City-to-Queretaro bullet train, the purchase of a $7 million house from

a government contractor

by Mexico’s first lady, and, most recently, controversial real estate payments by a businessman for the first lady’s apartment in Miami.

Unfortunately for Mexico, the latest blow to Pena Nieto’s reputation will make it more difficult for him to save what’s left of his most important accomplishment: an education reform to start evaluating Mexico’s 1.2 million elementary school teachers.

The reform was aimed at putting an end to the country’s age-old practice in which teachers literally sold their jobs — sometimes for about $10,000 — or passed them on to their children, or got the job because they were union loyalists, regardless of their academic records or teaching skills. Under the reform, 150,000 Mexican teachers have already been evaluated, in a gradual process that should last about six years.

Studies have shown that one of the main reasons behind Mexico’s mediocre economic growth in recent decades has been its lousy education system. And a key reason for that has been the country’s powerful teachers’ union leaders, most recently the CNTE union, blocking education reforms.

This week, the CNTE declared a national teachers’ strike, which shut down

nearly half of the schools in Oaxaca and Chiapas, two of Mexico’s poorest states.

Mexicanos Primero, an influential nongovernment advocacy group that fights for quality education, has called on Pena Nieto to cancel its financial subsidies to the CNTE. It says — rightly — that the CNTE is sabotaging Mexican children’s constitutional right to receive a good education.

But Pena Nieto, hurt by previous scandals, had already made significant concessions to CNTE leaders.

And the latest plagiarism affair is likely to make him even more afraid of confronting the union out of fear that their street protests could effectively shut down parts of the country, pro-education advocates say.

My opinion: If the report about Pena Nieto’s plagiarism is accurate, the Universidad Panamericana should invalidate Pena Nieto’s law degree.

But Mexicans should detach Pena Nieto’s blunders from Mexico’s urgent need to evaluate its teachers. Pena Nieto’s presidency will be history in two years, but millions of Mexican children risk getting a bad education that would condemn them to poverty for many decades.

Drudgery. Outside of the window is life: Cumulus clouds look like cotton balls stuck to a robin’s-egg sky with drops of glue. It’s fall, the perfect time of year, with a lit sky and a breeze blowing the curtain tails.

Out there, a 7-year-old has room to grow.

Inside, a child who may have put in a 10-hour day, getting on a school bus as early as 6 a.m. and getting off at 5 p.m., sits down to a packet. It’s time to re-do everything the student did all day.

Does that sound productive? What if we up the ante?

Maybe the child came home to a tired grandmother doing the best she can to help, or a dark apartment because no one paid the electric bill. Some children come home to loving parents who desire to help, but can’t speak the language of the homework instructions.

Even educated but increasingly busy parents strain to help their kids with homework.

Perhaps the child struggles to read all day and, after putting in his or her best effort to the point of exhaustion, must complete more.

Or the opposite, a child who excels and has proved mastery of a particular skill many times still must complete more.

Nearly everything about the way we teach children has evolved over the past few decades, from phonics to rigorous math standards

“

Traditions can be great, but it’s always good to periodically step back and ask, ‘Why are we doing this?’”

to children’s literature to classroom furniture. The academic vocabulary has changed and students aren’t being taught in the ways of the past.

Yet, homework has remained traditional.

Traditions can be great, but it’s always good to periodically step back and ask, “Why are we doing this?”

If there is no benefit, then someone has to say the emperor isn’t wearing clothes.

That’s what I did last week when I sent home the note to parents of my second-grade class that unexpectedly went viral on social media: “After much research this summer, I am trying something new. Homework will only consist of work that your student did not finish during the school day. There will be no formally assigned homework this year.

“Research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance. Rather, I ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success. Eat dinner as a family, read together, play outside, and get your child to bed early.”

The way I see it,

homework is nothing more than a stapled packet of more.

If more isn’t accomplished, that child will answer to a frustrated teacher who is caught up in a high-stakes game of standardized testing.

More scores, a moving target.

Funny thing about this game, the kids aren’t standard, their families aren’t standard, and we as teachers can’t be standard anymore. The standard homework packet must also be tossed. It’s time for a fresh start. Let’s redefine more.

It’s time for nontraditional homework.

In his book “The Battle over Homework,” Harris Cooper noted that homework should have different purposes at different grade levels. For students in the earliest grades, it should foster positive attitudes, habits and character traits; reinforce learning of simple skills introduced in class; and permit appropriate parent involvement.

I’m focusing on that last reason for homework, and I’m giving the kids a break.

Parents, the homework is for you now. Praise your children for a hard day’s work when they get off of the bus today. Let’s trust our teachers and allow our kids the freedom to love school and the chance to “sharpen the saw,” as Steven Covey said in “The Seven Habits of Happy Kids.”

I got into teaching because I love kids. Every child is unique and poses unique challenges. My job as a teacher is to spend my

day meeting those challenges with a smile on my face. Because I truly love kids, I give every effort to monitor the mastery of the standards I am teaching.

I know what my students can do, and I am able to use that data to effectively engage them in relevant learning.

As a teacher, I ask that administrators loosen the reins and trust their staff, the way the administrators at Godley Independent School District have trusted me. To reluctant parents, I ask that you partner with me. Let’s discuss your child’s needs, you most likely know them better than I do.

The reaction to my short homework note has been astounding because the concept is so simple. A child who feels safe at home will feel safe to take educational risks at school. They need a foundation. They need to sit at the dinner table and debrief with their support team. Eating together isn’t only about nutrition; it’s also about nourishing the child psychologically.

Ronald Reagan offered this in his farewell speech, “All great change in America begins at the dinner table. So, tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins.”

Because of a little note, we’re talking. Let’s keep the momentum.

Do what’s best for kids.

Health care choices choked further More than 2 million people could be bumped from insurance plans in 2017 Jayne O’Donnell, Ken Alltucker, Laura Ungar and Tony Leys USA TODAY Network

Wayne Goodwin, North Carolina’s insurance commissioner

including Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and many smaller insurers have either decided to leave states and counties or have failed.

Julie McPeak, who was appointed Tennessee’s insurance commissioner by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam, told The Tennessean that the ACA marketplace for the state was “very near collapse.”

Wilder died Monday at his home in Stamford, Conn., of complications from Alzheimer’s disease, according to a statement from his nephew, Jordan WalkerPearlman, issued via Wilder’s agent, David Shapira, to USA TODAY. “It is with indescribable sadness and blues, but with spiritual gratitude for the life lived that I announce the passing of husband, parent, and universal artist Gene Wilder, at his home in Stamford, Conn.,” Walker-Pearlman said in

the statement. “It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him. The cause was complications from Alzheimer’s disease with which he co-existed for the last three years.”

Wilder was unforgettably funny in such classics as The Producers, Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles, his frizzy hair enveloping his head like a halo,

his voice rising to a shriek when the role called for panic.

He was a specialist at playing characters hyperventilating caught up in schemes that only a madman such as Brooks could devise. He also knew how to keep it cool as the boozy gunslinger in Blazing Saddles and as the charming candy man in the children’s favorite Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Wilder was nominated twice for Oscars, for best supporting actor in The Producers in 1969, and for best adapted screenplay with Brooks for Blazing Saddles in 1975. He also won an Emmy in 2003 for outstanding actor in a guest role for Will & Grace.

“Gene Wilder, one of the truly great talents of our time is gone.

He blessed every film we did together with his special magic,” Brooks said in a tweet.

WASHINGTON The Pentagon’s failure to detect the extramarital affair and “swinger lifestyle” of a top general despite background checks that likely included polygraph tests exposes flaws in vetting those entrusted with the nation’s most sensitive national security secrets, according to experts and a top senator.

The Army U.S. ARMY fired Maj. Gen. David Haight David Haight from his job overseeing operations at European Command earlier this year after investigators uncovered his double life. Haight’s post required him to have access to the military’s classified capabilities to thwart Russian aggression, and his double life would have put him at risk of being blackmailed, several senior officials have said.

But Haight’s dark secret came to light only after the military received anonymous tips about his 11-year extramarital affair and other sexual escapades and began investigating in December.

Officials entrusted with the most sensitive information undergo background checks and liedetector tests every five years, meaning Haight passed at least two while he was having an affair.

His case shows that a determined and capable liar can evade detection, experts say.

“It’s disappointing to see senior officers behave this way, and that the system is unable to identify people with integrity problems,” said Derek Reveron, professor of national security af-

Multimillion-year mystery may be solved: How Lucy died Hominid had fatal fall, study surmises Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Talk about cracking a cold case: Nearly 3.2 million years ago, Lucy died. Now we may know how.

Lucy, the iconic human cousin whose skeleton was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree, according to a new study published Monday in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature.

More than four decades after her discovery, Lucy remains one of the oldest, best and most complete skeletons of any adult, erect-walking hominid, according to John Kappelman, an anthropologist at the University of Texas and the lead author of the study. A hominid is a member of the evolutionary family that includes great apes — such as gorillas, chimps and orangutans — humans and their ancestors, some of which are extinct.

Lucy, an example of the oldest known hominid, australopithecus afarensis, died at roughly 15 years old in what became Ethiopia. A small creature, about 3 feet

A sculptor’s rendering of Lucy was shown in 2007 at the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

6 inches tall and 60 pounds, she probably spent nights in a tree to avoid bigger, potentially dangerous predators, Kappelman said.

Scientists dubbed her Lucy from the Beatles song Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery, according to Arizona State University (ASU) Institute of Human Origins.

Using a high-resolution, high energy CT scan of her fossils, scientists discovered her upper arm and shoulders were broken. They determined she probably fell from a height of more than 40 feet, hitting the ground at more than 35 mph.

“We were surprised by this,” Kappelman said, adding that “rarely is the cause of death preserved in bones.”

Based on the pattern of breaks, she landed feet first before bracing herself with her arms as she fell forward, and “death followed swiftly,” the study concluded.

Other experts aren’t so sure of the findings. “I think the methodology falls short of providing a realistic explanation for the majority of breaks in Lucy’s bones,” said William Kimbel of ASU’s Institute of Human Origins. “We see this kind of damage frequently in a wide variety of animals that did not fall from trees.”

Louisiana battles back after flooding Kelly Richard Briggs Special for USA TODAY

DENHAM SPRINGS , LA . I recently returned to my hometown of Denham Springs for a weekend to help residents clean up homes that had been flooded. It was very emotional; almost everyone I grew up with had lost everything.

Knowing that folks in Lafayette, my current home, were also dealing with the devastation left behind by historic flooding, it was hard to ask people there to help those in Livingston Parish.

But I did. And they responded with open hearts and donations of supplies to assist in cleanup efforts of fellow Louisianians.

Former residents of Denham Springs started organizing donations to help those in need, and trucks full of supplies rolled in from across the country, including Houston, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Austin and Lafayette.

Distribution points across town had been set up to disperse the supplies.

The most unexpected moment of the weekend came while checking on friends who suffered total losses. They had lost everything, but they were reluctant to accept the donations.

Surely, someone else needed the supplies more than they did. The humble nature of everyone I en-

Regulators feel intense urgency to ‘fix the law’

countered was astounding. More than anything, people just wanted to share their stories and try to help others.

Through laughter and tears, story after story surfaced of residents rescuing each other by boat as the waters rose, even while they were taking on water in their own homes.

“We just did what needed to be done,” said Josh Johnson of Denham Springs.

A group of more than 10 men who lived on his street, all equipped with personal boats, went house to house rescuing friends and strangers alike. The group guided the Coast Guard into parts of Denham Springs and Port Vincent as they went door-to-door evacuating residents.

When they pulled up to the home of an elderly woman, she answered the door and said, “Can I help you?”

When they tried to get her out, she asked for more time because she was still in her gown.

Upon returning to find her putting on makeup, they realized she was unaware of what was going on around her. She thought all the water had come from busted pipes. They insisted that she only grab the necessities, and after loading her oxygen tank and walker into the boat, they transported her to higher ground.

Later, the group would encounter men, women and children, dazed, just sitting on the side of the road. Their posses-

They came across a man who refused help as he waded chest deep through the floodwaters pushing four young children, including two infants, on a makeshift raft of mattresses, fleeing to safety. They insisted the family get into the boats, knowing the waters ahead had such strong currents that he surely would have lost some, if not all, of the children.

After the waters receded, communal rescues continued to

SOURCE Kaiser Family Foundation KARL GELLES, USA TODAY exchange: 80% of the counties are served by just one insurer. Pinal County is the only county in the USA without an insurer on the exchange for 2017.

Multiple insurers are discontinuing “off-exchange” plans.

Arizona’s upheaval ensnared Leah Sondergeld, whose daughter, Kate, was diagnosed in 2015 with epilepsy. Kate’s condition made her family’s need to change insurers for a third time this fall all the more upsetting now that Aetna is leaving the state. Sondergeld dreads the thought of possibly having to find a new neurologist to treat Kate. After her first exchange insurer went out of business in late 2015, the Sondergelds switched to UnitedHealthcare but quickly dropped the plan when it wouldn’t cover a test and Kate’s drugs.

“We are a good family. It’s not that we’re not trying,” says Sondergeld, a former nail salon owner whose husband is self-employed. “It’s a struggle.”

How other states fare: uIn North Carolina, where the Kaiser analysis shows 90% of the counties will have just one insurer, Goodwin is bracing to find

out whether even that insurer will leave the state.

Charlotte pet sitter Margaret Brawner pays the tax penalty and out-of-pocket for doctor visits rather than the “unaffordable premium and ridiculously high deductible” she faced in 2015.

She’s in good health but says it’s “people who need frequent access to medical care with no subsidy that it really hurts.” uIn Kentucky, Aetna and UnitedHealthcare will not offer plans on the exchange next year.

Sarah Halfacre, 35, an occupational therapist and single mom of two, worries that after struggling to find a UnitedHealthcare plan and working out an arrangement with her student loan lender to afford the $340 premium, her only choices may cost more. uIn Iowa, 2017 is shaping up to be fairly stable. Mara Deaton of Des Moines will keep her Aetna policy as hers is one of the four states the company will remain in. Deaton, 61, says the exchanges are “having growing pains,” but she is grateful to have insurance as she was treated for a lifethreatening breast cancer more than a decade ago.

The insurance changes have left others in Arizona nervous.

Claburn Niven Jones, who owns a Scottsdale home and San Mateo, Calif., condo, said the insurance shakeout forced a decision to relocate full time to California in 2017. The 63-yearold cancer patient and retired accountant said he doesn’t think there will be enough insurers and doctors for the 126,000 Maricopa County residents who will need plans. “If you add them all up and throw them into a network, you’ll never see a doctor,” he said.

North Carolina’s Goodwin told Health and Human Services in February that he worried some residents would have “no access to health insurance at all.”

“What if the dominoes begin to fall?” Goodwin said Friday.

“There’s been no answer to that question.”

bilize the system, lower costs for consumers and reduce risks for insurers — often conflicting challenges that create a Catch-22.

Among other changes, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed Monday to have its risk adjustment program factor in prescription drug usage and the people who drop their coverage before 12 months are up.

Insurers need healthy people to buy insurance to offset the companies’ costs of covering sicker ones, but healthy consumers who don’t qualify for high subsidies won’t sign up unless the prices are more affordable, says Paul Howard, health policy director of the free market Manhattan Institute.

“It’s important that enrollment continue to grow,” so the ACA sign-up period that starts Nov. 1 will be critical, says Kaiser Family Foundation’s Gary Claxton.

Although the health law hasn’t become the hot button issue it was in the past presidential election, the Obama administration must make changes against a backdrop of fierce partisan opposition to Obama’s signature law.

No one expects solutions requiring congressional action before the elections in November.

“This is probably the most frustrating public policy dilemma we’ve got right now in the country,” says Wayne Goodwin, North Carolina’s Democratic insurance commissioner. “Businesses and health insurance companies have invested so much into the ACA, there is a tremendous urgency to having Congress and whoever the new president is fix the law.”

South Carolina and Alabama are grappling with what will probably be no competition for the first time in 2017 after insurers Aetna and United Healthcare announced plans to leave the states. The Kaiser analysis shows 31% of counties will probably have just one insurer in 2017 and another 31% just two.

Kevin Counihan, CEO of HealthCare.gov, which handles the exchanges for 38 states, emphasizes insurers are adjusting at different rates to selling on the exchanges. After Aetna announced this month it would stop selling on the exchanges for 11 states, he said, “The future of the marketplace is strong.”

“We’d still be working to clear out without their help, days after the water went down,” he said.

“We are lucky, we have somewhere to stay.” The family of four plans to live in their camper until the house is rebuilt.

Across the state, similar stories were heard.

Cheryl Brown Heston is using

social media to organize cleanup efforts. She personally has gutted more than a dozen homes over the past week. Along with her husband, Todd, two teenage children, Sam and Nick, and a herd of friends, they continue the work, with no end in sight.

Each day, Heston posts addresses of those in need of assistance on Facebook. Each day, volunteers respond with help.

She has organized volunteers from the schools her kids attend, from her husband’s rugby team and other rugby teams from Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Lafayette.

“It’s like being a den mom,” she said.

Heston, a marketing executive, was laid off earlier in the year. “I’ve never been so grateful to be unemployed,” she laughed.

She is using her availability to help her community and says she has found her calling.

People of all races, religions, genders, ages and political affiliations have banded together to get the job done. It is truly inspiring. Those affected by the flooding will continue to need assistance in the weeks and months to come.

But we are resourceful, resilient and determined, and like so many disasters we’ve faced before, we will come out of this stronger than ever.

fairs at the Naval War College.

“Adultery clearly illustrates someone who displays bad judgment and is untrustworthy — red flags in background investigations.”

But Reveron added, “Unless someone who is interviewed raises an issue, then there’s no way to know if people have second lives.”

The Haight case shows that more needs to been done to detect potential threats to national security secrets, said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. She has advocated for more stringent background checks following the massive leak of security secrets by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden and the attack by a contractor with a security clearance who killed 12 people at the Navy Yard here in 2013.

“As we’ve seen, these background investigations aren’t foolproof, especially if the subjects aren’t truthful,” McCaskill said.

Haight would have been subject to some of the most careful screening the government conducts, said Scott “Dutch” Murray, a retired Air Force colonel.

Murray, a career intelligence officer, served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and helped plot targets against the Islamic State. Murray underwent multiple checks at five-year intervals and described the process.

A lengthy questionnaire known as Standard Form 86 seeks detail about the applicant’s family, friends and finances. Lying on the form is a felony. Screeners also interview friends and neighbors.

As the director of operations for European Command, Haight would also have required higher clearances including for Special Technical Operations.

“That’s where you have to take lie-detector tests,” Murray said.

“They’re trying to find out your vulnerability to blackmail or extortion.”

One question Murray was asked: Have you lied to your wife?

Haight evidently passed his liedetector tests. Perhaps that’s not a surprise. A National Academy of Sciences report in 2003 questioned the value of the counterintelligence polygraph test. The academy concluded that the polygraph flagged too many innocent people and failed to find enough spies.

Haight would have been privy to the most advanced U.S. capabilities to counter Russian aggression, allied troop movements and likely the war effort against the Islamic State since Turkey is

in EUCOM’s sphere, Murray said.

The Army’s inspector general, acting on a referral from an anonymous tipster, found that Haight had an inappropriate sexual relationship and had misused his government email and cellphone.

The report on Haight used the definition of swinging as, “Being promiscuous, typically engaging in group sex or swapping sexual partners.”

Emails obtained by USA TODAY showed Haight and his girlfriend setting up assignations with other women and couples, and explicit references to oral and anal sex.

The Army fired him from his job in Europe and pulled him back to Washington where a board will determine the rank at which he retires.

Meanwhile, Haight’s security clearance has been suspended while investigators review his case, according to Col. Patrick Seiber, an Army spokesman.

It could be reinstated or revoked, in which case Haight could appeal.

Abedin says she’s separating from Weiner after sexting scandal Eliza Collins USA TODAY

SETH PERLMAN, AP

People cast their ballots for the midterm elections Nov. 4, 2014, in Springfield, Ill. An unidentified hacker gained access to the state’s voter registration database.

HACKERS HIT ARIZONA, ILLINOIS VOTER DATABASES Officials say counting systems were not compromised Elizabeth Weise and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

A Russian hacker is suspected of probing a voter registration database in Arizona, and another unidentified attacker gained entry to one in Illinois this summer, the FBI said. The agency warned states their election boards should conduct vulnerability scans.

The systems that count votes in elections were not compromised, officials said.

The breaches add to concerns such attacks could exploit the personal history of millions of voters for monetary or political gain. Those worries have run high after reports in July that the Democratic National Committee’s email system was hacked, a breach that U.S. intelligence offiSAN FRANCISCO

cials suspect was perpetrated by the Russian government.

“We’re all very aware that it’s less than 80 days before an important election,” said Pamela Smith with Verified Voting, a non-partisan, non-profit organization that advocates for accuracy, transparency and verifiability of elections.

Election officials in Illinois and Arizona told USA TODAY they took their voter registration databases offline briefly last month as they became aware of attempted breaches to their systems.

Matt Roberts, a spokesman for the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, said state authorities were notified by the FBI of the suspected hack when it was discovered the username and password of a county election official were circulated online.

The Arizona system was shut down for several days, Roberts said, but there was no evidence that any information related to the 3.4 million voters in the database was compromised.

He said authorities believe the

source of the attempted intrusion was a Russian hacker.

Ken Menzel, general counsel for the Illinois Board of Elections, said a “small percentage’’ of its data was accessed during last month’s attack. He said internal security systems detected the intrusion as the data were moved, prompting the shutdown.

Menzel said the attack could not have helped influence the outcome of an election.

In an FBI cyber division alert this month, the agency asked states to contact their Board of Elections and ask whether similar attempts had been made.

The FBI declined to elaborate on the alert, except to say the bureau “routinely advises private industry of various cyber threat indicators observed during the course of our investigations.”

It’s unknown whether the attacks were attempts to compromise the voting system or efforts to harvest information about individuals that can be sold to criminals looking for identity theft victims.

Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, announced Monday she will be separating from her husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., following another sexting scandal.

“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy,” Abedin said in a statement.

The announcement comes after the New York Post reported Sunday that Weiner had been sending lewd photographs of himself to another woman while his wife was on the campaign trail with Clinton.

One of the photos included his 4-year-old son in the background.

Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 over a similar scandal, and his 2013 race for New York mayor was upended by another set of lewd online exchanges.

Weiner’s Twitter account appeared to have been deleted Monday.

A documentary about the mayoral race was released this year.

The film featured the couple trying to resurrect his political career — neither Abedin nor

Weiner watched the final product, according to Weiner’s August interview with The New York Times Magazine.

In that interview he was asked if he was “still engaging in the activities that got you in trouble.”

“I’m not going to go down the path of talking about any of that.

But I will say this: There’s no doubt that the Trump phenomenon has led a lot of people to say to me, ‘Boy, compared to inviting the Russians to come hack someone’s email, your thing seems almost quaint,’ ” Weiner said.

Abedin has been Clinton’s right-hand woman for more than two decades. She began working as an intern at the White House when she was just 19 years old.

Abedin is now vice chairwoman of Clinton’s campaign.

Trump weighed in shortly after the announcement saying that Abedin made the correct choice, but questioned whether Weiner had access to classified information. It is not immediately clear where that question stems from.

“I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,” Trump said.

“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information,” he said. “Who knows what he learned and who he told? It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment.”

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazil’s suspended President Dilma Rousseff charged Monday that her impeachment trial is nothing more than an illegitimate power grab by her political opponents.

After four days of intense debate over the charges facing Brazil’s first female president, she got her turn to defend herself.

“This impeachment process isn’t legitimate,” Rousseff told the room full of senators and spectators, including former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. “I didn’t do anything illegal.”

Rousseff used her 45-minute speech to outline her personal and political history, showing how she rose from the victim of torture under Brazil’s dictatorship in the 1960s to a woman who twice won presidential elections.

She reminded the senators of the successes Brazil saw under the 13 years that her Workers’ Party was in power, culminated by successfully hosting the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics in Rio. She also pointed out that Latin America’s long, ugly history of revolutions and illegal seizures of power is reminiscent of the proceedings she is facing. Rousseff said her opponents have been trying to remove her from power through any means necessary, even though she was re-elected in 2014 with 54 million votes.

“They said that the elections were fraudulent, they asked for an audit of ballots, they impugned my electoral gains, and after I took office, they took excessive steps to find whatever facts they could to ... justify impeachment proceedings,” she said. “They wanted power at whatever price.

reality.”

Rousseff, 68, is accused of using illegal maneuvers to fill federal budget gaps to hide the true extent of the country’s financial woes. Her opponents say she did so to maintain support ahead of her successful 2014 re-election bid, which resulted in Brazil plunging further into recession.

After Rousseff’s speech, senators questioned her. Sen. Simone Tebet from Brazil’s PMDB political party, told Rousseff that her illegal accounting practices destroyed the trust that Brazil had built in global financial markets.

“You sold an unreal Brazil to Brazilians,” Tebet said. “Those

numbers led to a loss of confidence in the government, a slowdown of investments, investors stepped on the brakes. That’s why we’re in the worst economic crisis of our history.”

Sen. Cássio Cunha Lima, leader of the PSDB party, the main opposition to Rousseff’s Workers’ Party, said he was shocked that Rousseff delivered a glowing biography rather than countering charges against her.

“She missed a real opportunity to defend herself against the grave crimes she is accused of,” Lima said. “You forget, your excellency Dilma, that this impeachment wasn’t born in the Congress. It was born on the streets of Brazil.”

Lima also responded to Rousseff’s characterization of her trial as an attempted “coup d’etat.”

“A coup is winning an election by lying to a country. A coup is running a company like Petrobras,” Lima, referring to the staterun oil company at the heart of a national corruption investigation.

S&P 500 FIRMS MAKING THE MOST OF BREXIT

The U.K.’s vote to bail out on the European Union sent shock waves through global markets.

But the actual blow hasn’t been nearly the hit on U.S. companies many feared, and some firms are even benefiting.

Over the past two weeks, 14 companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 — including technology firm Autodesk, apparel maker PVH, HP and Estee Lauder — have talked about the Brexit event, and a few are not all that concerned.

Tiffany even said it’s helping its business. “We believe that the weakening of the pound has made London a more attractive tourist shopping destination,” Mark Aaron, Tiffany’s director of investor relations, told investors last week.

That’s far from the impact global investors were bracing for when the vote passed in June. More than $3 trillion in stock market value was wiped out in the two-day sell-off after the June vote, which was the worst two-day paper loss in history, S&P Dow Jones Indices says.

down 17% since the Brexit vote, but the MSCI Germany index is up 2.7%, and the Brussels BEL 20 Index is up 1.5%.

“Brexit, schmexit,” Jason Pride, director of investment strategy at Glenmede, says in a note to clients. “The eurozone economy seems quite healthy two months after the U.K.’s decision to leave the syndicate.”

Some U.S. companies have capitalized on the Brexit panic.

Autodesk, which makes software used by companies to design products, bought its company stock as it was beaten

up in the sell-off. “We also increased our stock buyback in Q2 to $170 million in light of the dip in the stock caused by the temporary panic around the Brexit vote,” CEO Carl Bass said in an Aug. 25 call with investors.

Shares of Autodesk cratered 14% in the two days after the vote but are now up more than 35% from the panic lows.

PVH, the apparel maker behind brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and Izod, said the slowdown in its European business was “short-lived,” CEO Emanuel Chirico told investors Aug. 25 in an earnings call, and now it’s growing in the “high single digits.” “Our U.K. business continues to show strong momentum,” he says.

HP, a global technology company, said that Brexit “was really a non-event,” according to Catherine Lesjak, chief financial officer, in an Aug. 24 call with investors. “We saw a very, very limited impact from Brexit.”

Investors know Brexit will take months, if not years, to unfold. But there’s optimism the diversity of global business will reduce any impact from a single country.

“We have comfort in knowing that we have many strengths that underpin our financial performance,” Estee Lauder’s CEO Fabrizio Freda told investors Aug. 19.

JAE YANG AND KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Apple could face a billion-dollar tax bill in Ireland if the European Union rules its tax deal there is illegal.

The European Union, which is expected to release a decision as early as Tuesday, long has contended deals made by EU-member Ireland with multinational companies such as Apple constitute illegal state aid. The European Commission is expected to argue the country, which has become a tech hub, provided Apple a sweetheart deal in exchange for creating jobs there, according to a Bloomberg report, citing people familiar with the decision.

Irish authorities have vowed to fight the finding, and the U.S. government has disputed the EU’s position. Apple shares closed down 0.1% Monday at $106.82.

The Commission will recommend the amount of back taxes owed and leave it to Irish authorities to calculate the exact amount, a person with knowledge of the situation told Reuters.

APPLE

Apple and other major U.S. firms hold stockpiles of what’s known as indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings — or revenue not subject to U.S. corporate income tax — outside the U.S. The 10 firms with the largest holdings collectively have $724 billion in this revenue outside the U.S., a USA TODAY report found.

The EU has been investigating possible tax avoidance by multinational firms since June 2014.

A ruling by the European Commission in October that a tax arrangement between Starbucks and the Netherlands was illegal is on appeal to the EU General Court, as is a similar ruling against Fiat in Luxembourg. An EU probe into tax agreements between Amazon and Luxembourg is awaiting a final decision.

Under a “worst-case scenario,” Apple could owe $19 billion in taxes if a full Irish tax rate of 12.5% is levied against some $153 billion in profits over 10 years, J.P. Morgan analyst Rod Hall said in a May 2015 research note.

Apple did not respond to email messages seeking comment.

The European island offers the lure of minimal regulation and significantly lower corporate tax rates (12.5% vs. 35% in the U.S.), a major reason why top U.S. tech companies — including Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Yahoo, Microsoft, Twitter and eBay — have corporate facilities in Ireland, where they employ thousands.

Mylan to offer generic EpiPen for half the price Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Drugmaker Mylan said Monday that it will offer a generic version of the life-saving allergy treatment EpiPen for half the list price of the brand-name treatment after it became the center of a national controversy over skyrocketing drug prices.

The move marks a sharp shift in Mylan’s position after it vigorously defended multiple increases over the years that resulted in a list price of about $600 for a two-pack of the emergency injection treatment, up from about $100 in 2009.

The generic version of EpiPen

“will be identical to the branded product, including device functionality and drug formulation,” Mylan said in a statement.

“It’s highly unusual for a generic product to come out in this way,” Marianne Udow-Phillips, director of the Center for Healthcare Research & Transformation at the University of Michigan, said Monday. “It clearly shows how much pressure Mylan was under. It’s still a huge profit margin for them.”

The company’s decision was revealed hours before Republican and Democratic leaders of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform launched an investigation into EpiPen price increases in a rare show of bipartisanship that un-

EpiPen two-packs cost $600.

The generic will cost $300.

derscores the depth of the opposition to Mylan’s strategy.

Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and ranking member Elijah Cummings, DMd., requested a slew of documents from Mylan, including details of EpiPen profits and sales,

lobbying data, internal cost figures and federal health reimbursement numbers.

Mylan has “a virtual monopoly over the epinephrine auto-injector market,” the lawmakers said in a letter to Mylan CEO Heather Bresch. “While families and schools are struggling to keep up with your company’s unreasonable price increases, Mylan has profited richly from its pricing strategy.”

The committee’s letter, which requested a briefing by Sept. 6 and documents by Sept. 12, paves the way for a potential congressional hearing on the matter.

The company will surely cite its decision to introduce an identical generic as reflective of its attentiveness to public concerns.

The move could also be viewed as something of a preemptive strike by Mylan, which is facing the prospect of a generic competitor offered by rival Teva Pharmaceutical Industries — although the Food and Drug Administration recently dealt Mylan’s competitor a setback, saying it wasn’t ready to hit the market and delaying the drug until at least 2017.

Mylan’s generic version will hit shelves within several weeks at a list price of $300 for a two-pack carton in dosages of either 0.15 milligrams or 0.30 mg, the company said.

Mylan will continue to sell EpiPen and continue to offer a $300 discount to certain families that qualify for assistance based on their income levels.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors are paying a lot of attention to the smallest stocks on the market. These stocks’ moves are being used to track several larger trends afoot.

The S&P SmallCap 600 index, filled with shares of the companies with lower market values, has been turning it on compared with its large-cap brother, the Standard & Poor’s 500. The S&P SmallCap 600 index is up nearly 7% over the past three months, double the roughly 3% gain by the S&P 500 during that time.

The relative rally in shares of small companies is turning into a barometer on investors’ rising expectations the Federal Reserve might hike short-term interest rates as soon as September.

USA’s portfolio allocation for tech stocks Here’s how America’s individual investors are performing based on data from SigFig online investment tracking service:

Small caps are benefitting because they’re less likely be bought by investors looking for outsized dividends. Just 52% of the S&P SmallCap 600 pay dividends, while 83% of the S&P 500 do, says Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Global Market Intelligence. When there’s a fear interest rates will be on the rise, that makes dividend-paying stocks less attractive to investors.

Small caps, therefore, are more cushioned from this.

Analysts see 2017 earnings per share gaining 35% for companies in the S&P SmallCap 600, blowing away the 14% expected earnings gain expected for the S&P 500.

Investors are also preferring small companies due to their lower exposure to overseas markets.

That’s key if rates rise and the dollar gets stronger, which could hurt exporters.

Study says decline of unions has hurt all workers Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

The steep decline in union membership in recent decades has had an outsize effect on the American workforce, tamping down wage increases for nonunion workers, a new study says.

Average weekly earnings for non-union private-sector male workers would have been 5%, or $52, higher in 2013 if the share of union workers had remained at 1979 levels, according to the

study out Tuesday from the liberal-leaning Economic Policy Institute ahead of Labor Day. That’s tantamount to a loss of $2,704 annually for the average nonunion worker.

The paper was authored by Washington University sociologists Jake Rosenfeld and Patrick Denice, and Jennifer Laird, a research scientist at Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy.

The earnings loss is smaller for women because they were not as unionized as men in 1979. Weekly wages would be about 2% to 3%

JESSICA KOURKOUNIS, GETTY IMAGES

Falling union membership has led to stagnant wage growth.

higher for women if union membership had stayed at 1979 levels, the report says.

About 10% of male private-sector workers were union members in 2013, down from 34% in 1979.

In that period, the share of women who belong to unions fell to 6% from 16%.

The report argues the dwindling influence of unions is a significant but often ignored reason for wage stagnation, along with globalization, technological change and the slowdown in educational achievement gains.

The prevalence of unions affects the pay of non-union workers in various ways, the study says. Non-union employers often

raise their workers’ pay to foster loyalty and head off an organizing drive.

Kodak deployed that strategy in highly organized New York State, the study says.

The fatter paychecks of union workers also creates a more competitive labor market that forces non-union companies to lift wages to prevent employees from jumping ship.

And unions often establish labor-friendly policies that generally promote fairness in pay, benefits and worker treatment, according to the report.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

He brought humor, heart to Willy Wonka and the Waco Kid Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

W

illy Wonka.

The Waco Kid. Dr. “FRONKen-steen,” if you please.

Before he became the face of the “Condescending Wonka” meme for the digital generation, Gene Wilder was a talented comedian who had a way with expressive faces and one-liners and a gift for inhabiting memorable characters that touched the hearts and funny bones of children and adults alike.

For grown-ups of a certain era, there was no comedy team better than Wilder, who died Monday at age 83, and Richard Pryor in their four movies together. The twosome famously donned finefeathered costumes in the 1980 jailbird comedy Stir Crazy, played blind (Pryor) and deaf (Wilder) in See No Evil, Hear No Evil nine years later, and were lying scoundrels in 1991’s Another You. The youngsters of that day could see Wilder in what would become his best-known roles: as the eccentric title chocolatier of 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, based on the Roald Dahl novel, and teamed with fellow funnyman Mel Brooks for Young Frankenstein, a black-andwhite 1974 classic that was many children’s introduction to the horror genre and a 1930s cinema aesthetic. That film also led to an Oscar screenplay nomination for Brooks and Wilder, who first teamed for 1967’s The Producers, a gig that earned Wilder an Oscar nod for supporting actor opposite Zero Mostel as a couple of guys trying to produce the worst Broadway show ever.

Like the sweets the colorfully clad Wonka peddled, those Wilder hits would hook any young filmgoer — the genius banter alone between Wilder’s crazy doctor Frederick Frankenstein and Marty Feldman’s bug-eyed sidekick Igor was a master class in comedy writing. Those with particularly understanding parents checked out his other films, such as Brooks’ decidedly non-PC Western Blazing Saddles, which cast Wilder as alcoholic outlaw Waco Kid opposite embattled black sheriff Bart (Cleavon Little) in 1974. Or Woody Allen’s 1972 comedy Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask), which offered Wilder as a doctor who falls

for a sheep.

There was one other frequent collaborator in Wilder’s life: his wife, Gilda Radner. He and the

Saturday Night Live alum made three movies together, including the Wilder-directed The Woman in Red (1984) and Haunted

Honeymoon (1986). Radner’s battle with ovarian cancer in the late 1980s and death in 1989 ultimately shifted Wilder’s focus toward his personal life and away from Hollywood.

What Wilder did leave pop culture, though, was a string of parts that were undoubtedly humorous but always had a gentle nature. As mad a scientist as his Frankenstein was, there was a distinct sweetness there. So, too, with his Wonka, an odd candyman who had no patience for misbehaving brats but a loving, paternal nature with the goodhearted Charlie.

In that way, Wilder was much more than a meme. He was an icon.

Tom Wolfe wastes no time clarifying in The Kingdom of Speech (Little, Brown, 169 pp., eeeE out of four) what motivated this insightful smackdown of the “scientific” pursuit of language’s origins.

One night, his octogenarian visage aglow at the computer screen, the legendary New Journalism pioneer experienced an enlightening intellectual whiplash. A White-Suited Wham! In a 2014 academic research journal, eight of the world’s leading linguists and “heavyweight evolutionists” had owned up that, after more than 150 years trying to solve the elusive mystery that divides mankind from the rest of the animal kingdom — how language began — they and their predecessors had learned only one irrefutable truth: It is an enigma.

“An enigma!” You can almost hear Wolfe’s ecstatic cackle waking his Upper East Side neighbors in the City That Never Sleeps.

This guy knows a story when he sees one. “A parade of certified BOOK REVIEW

geniuses had spent lifetimes trying to figure it out — and failed,” he writes. And not just failed miserably, but as he details throughout this blistering book, some had failed imaginatively, heroically and boldly, while others unethically, viciously and vengefully.

Yeah, this is Tom Wolfe’s milieu.

And so begins Wolfe’s provocative and winding tale that attempts to demystify the mystery that has baffled the world of lin-

guistics and, arguably, makes what we think we know about the origins of speech and human evolution wrong.

He presents that intriguing MARK SELIGER case in his inAuthor imitable, casuTom Wolfe al-chatty, captivating storytelling style. His trademark rich reporting is unmistakable throughout his first non-fiction endeavor in 16 years since Hooking Up, his 2000 essay collection. But The Kingdom of Speech is much more a legacy of his brilliant 1981 lambasting of modernist architecture, From Bauhaus to Our House, and his fascinating 1975 assault on modern art, The Painted Word.

Wolfe starts with retelling the what-the-hell story of the Theory of Evolution from its starting gate, when “Charlie” Darwin and his British landed-gentry lads filched the theory of natural selection from far-afield naturalist Alfred Wallace. Going forward, he identifies many rogue evolutionaries gone wild, from anti-Darwinian Robert Chambers to the

Darwin-cheerleader Thomas Huxley, to the first geneticist Gregor Johann Mendel.

Wolfe’s diversions include everything from Apache cosmology to “gestural theory” (the standing man’s freed-hand gestures evolving into speech). The second half of the book focuses on pompous, nasty but conversation-changing Noam Chomsky vs. mosquito-bitten, neck-deep-in-Amazon-primitiveness anthropologist Daniel Everett, whose life story is a splendidly cinematic read.

Sure, Wolfe-ish annoyances persist. Too many repeated words (“talk talk talk it was, and endless theory theory theory”) and slambang semantics (“Bango!” and “OOOF!”). One of his detours — where he lists historic oddball charismatic leaders just to prove that, like Chomsky, many were in their 20s — makes you want to say, “Stop it, Tom.” Still, he brings to this academic debate the same irreverence and entertaining quality that lit up Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test — without the trippy ’60s Merry Prankster craziness. You’ll find here the same manic prose, the hip rhythms and cleverly crafted arguments of the genius Tom Wolfe. Which you must read.

And every year since the program’s launch in 2010, folks have continued to sign up for the onetime class, which sends would-be rowers in boats down the Kansas River, weather permitting, with coaches and student-athletes from KU’s rowing team guiding them through the ABCs of the sport.

“It fills every year,” says Jo Ellis, recreation instruction supervisor at Lawrence Parks and Recreation.

This fall’s Rowing Clinic, slated for 9 to 11 a.m. Sept. 17 at Burcham Park, 220 Indiana St., is still open.

At $30 per participant, the clinic is open to anyone (it’s specifically designed for those with minimal rowing experience) 14 and older.

As of Monday, Ellis says that roster ranges from teenagers all the way up to folks in their late 50s.

The course, she adds, is one of the department’s most popular, which is fueled in part by its exclusivity.

Because it’s only offered once a year (KU Rowing doesn’t have the ability to lend out its facilities and team personnel more than that, Ellis says) and its introductory nature, enthused participants often leave the class asking Ellis, “Now what?”

“I know there’s people who want to do it,” she says. “It’s just, do I have an instructor? Do I have the equipment?”

The city’s Parks and Recreation facilities, to the best of her knowledge, don’t. But the indoor rowing machine is — and has long been — a fixture in gyms everywhere, says Vic White, an exercise physiologist with Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s

Therapy Services. Most fitness centers have at least two or three, he says.

And while he hasn’t seen a huge uptick in interest locally, White says “it’s a real likely possibility” that a nationwide surge in rowing popularity could soon make its way from the coasts to the Midwest.

In recent years, trendy rowing studios (in the vein of yoga or spinning, for instance) have begun popping up in taste-making places like New York City. Closer still is Health House, which opened its first Kansas City-area location along State Line Road in 2013 and will expand to nearby Leawood this fall.

Activity trackers may help meet health goals

By Janice Early

It’s estimated that one in five Americans wears a fitness tracker, such as Fitbit, Jawbone or Garmin. These electronic activity trackers are basically upgraded versions of pedometers that you wear on your wrist, and many users feel they help them track and meet their health and fitness goals.

Early versions, such as the original Fitbit introduced in 2009, were clipped to the waist. Compared with pedometers which cost $15 to $20, these devices are expensive,

But it’s important to remember that they are not medical instruments

running from $60 to $250 or more. They do, however, have greater tracking ability and include software that enables you to connect with your computer or smart phone.

As activity trackers become more popular, the basic appeal is the ability to visualize your

activity on charts and graphs and monitor your progress from day to day and week to week. If you wish, you can use social media to connect and compare your progress with friends.

For step tracking, nearly all wrist devices base their calculations primarily on arm movement. If you wave your arms without walking, you get credited with steps. If you push a grocery cart, moving your legs but not your arms,

you get very little credit.

Two popular and highly rated devices are the Fitbit Charge HR and the Garmin Vivosmart HR. The features are roughly the same: measurement of daily steps, miles traveled, calories consumed, floors climbed, sleep quality and continuous reading of heart rate.

At this price level (about $150), you can expect to get a watch and activity readout on the wrist band as well as on

your smart phone or computer. In addition, the software tracks active minutes and gives a summary of each workout, charting time, calories consumed and average beats per minute.

At a lower price point (about $100), trackers such as the Jawbone UP2 and the Fitbit Flex have most of these tracking features except heart rate. The information can be

The benefits of jogging slowly Trackers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Researcher suggests a ‘smiling pace’

By Alison Bowen Chicago Tribune

Hiroaki Tanaka wants you to smile while jogging.

That sometimes seems impossible — especially when people sprint past on a running path as you’re chugging slowly behind.

But according to Tanaka, a professor at the Faculty of Sports and Health Science at Fukuoka University in Japan, there may be health benefits in jogging slowly.

Tanaka, who wrote “Slow Jogging: Get Fit, Lose Weight, Stay Healthy, and Have Fun With Easy Running” with Magdalena Jackowska, who has implemented

To help visualize the best pace, think of a time when a traffic light is about to turn red and you pick up the pace to make it across the street. slow jogging to run multiple marathons, has a unique suggestion: Run only as fast as your body lets you smile.

He calls this a “smiling pace,” or a “niko niko pace,” and says the best way to run is at a calm speed, which helps lower blood pressure while boosting overall fitness.

Tanaka said to find what that pace might be for you, consider starting slow and listening to your body.

“Niko niko pace can be very different for each one of us,” he said. It might even be lower than your walking speed.

To help visualize the best pace, think of a time when a traffic light is about to turn red and you pick up the pace to make it across the street.

“It’s one of the moments when even the least fit of us start running,” Tanaka writes.

This running-to-the-light pace is usually about 4.3 miles per hour, according to the authors.

They recommend starting very slow — perhaps at about 2 to 3 miles per hour.

If you are too short of breath to, for example, hold a conversation, then ease up.

“Slow down to be able to talk at ease, or if you are running alone, sing your favorite songs,” Tanaka said.

They found that even a group of 75-year-olds experienced lowered blood pressure.

“It’s never too late to start,” Tanaka said.

Kansas coalition proposes dental therapists for service gap Topeka (ap) — A coalition of more than 50 advocacy groups in Kansas has suggested educating dental therapists to work under the supervision of established dentists to help cover a service gap in the state.

Four out of five counties in Kansas don’t have enough dentists to meet demand and 14 of the state’s counties have no dentistry practitioners at all, The Topeka Capital-Journal reports. The Kansas Board of Regents suggested in early August the possibility of starting the state’s first school of dentistry at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

The coalition is offering the education of dental therapists as an alternative.

Graduates of the dental therapy programs would be eligible to perform routine or preventative

accessed through your computer or smart phone but not on your wrist.

At a higher price point (about $250), devices such as the Fitbit Surge and the Garmin Vivoactive offer a full-size watch plus GPS tracking to go with all of the other features. The GPS gives an accurate tracking of distance. Without it, you should realize that an activity tracker gives you an approximation of distance based on steps taken and heart rate.

Heart rate is clearly an important indicator of health and fitness. A resting heart rate that gets lower over time is a sign that the heart is getting stronger and more efficient, and the software for most wrist monitors will allow you to see this kind of progress. But it’s important to remember that the activity tracker is not a medical instrument.

The major health benefit of an activity tracker is the increased motivation to be active and to maintain healthy habits, including good sleep.

dition to the hospice workers and that they themselves would fill in when needed.

It’s become apparent to me that my siblings are primarily focused on saving their share of the inheritance. At this time, among ourselves, we’re pitching in about 20 hours of care a week. Mom needs more help. We have a wonderful caregiver who is being limited to 25 hours per week. She would gladly work 40 hours each week. We also

‘Facing’ replaces ‘Biography’ As somebody who writes for a meager living on a daily basis, I’m a tad picky about words.

And I’m doubly dubious when a book, a movie or a television show has a title that doesn’t make much sense. Or means nothing at all. This brings us to the new series “Facing” (8 p.m., National Geographic). What on earth is “Facing”?

From what I can gather, it’s a new variation on the old series “Biography” that used to air on A&E, before that network got addicted to “reality” fare like “Hoarders” and “Duck Dynasty.”

A series of profiles, “Facing” will look at the stories of what the show describes as some of modern history’s larger-thanlife characters and “headline makers.”

“Facing” begins with Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, the subject of the Netflix drama “Narcos,” which returns for a second season on Sept. 2. Over the weeks, we’ll meet a curious assortment of personalities, including Saddam Hussein, Suge Knight, Vladimir Putin and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I’m always game for a profile of Putin, like the one PBS’ “Frontline” did some months back. But there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason to the parade of personalities we’ll be “Facing.”

How is Saddam Hussein still making headlines? He was executed in 2006. Does Suge Knight’s story stand up to these historical figures? And what has Arnold Schwarzenegger done lately to deserve “Facing” status?

Well, the former California governor has been named the new host of “The Celebrity Apprentice,” because NBC fired the former host for being just too racist for network television. You know, the guy who is now running for president. l “Through the Wormhole With Morgan Freeman” (9 p.m., Science) returns for a seventh season. The series asks experts of all stripes to discuss a host of subjects from a scientist’s perspective.

Among this season’s topics are “What Makes A Terrorist?” “Is Privacy Dead?” and “Are There More Than Two Sexes?”

The real question remains: If Morgan Freeman hangs out with so many geniuses, how come nobody predicted that his most recent movie, this year’s “Ben-Hur” remake, would be such a box office disaster?

Tonight’s other highlights

l The semifinals begin on

“America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l Critters ransack the Russian Embassy on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS, TV-14). l The remaining counselors strive to survive on the season finale of “Dead of Summer” (8 p.m., Freeform, TV-14).

loved ones they wish they hadn’t. Selfishness is ugly.

You’re absolutely right; it’s your mom’s money, and she’s still here. I’m sure she appreciates her golden child’s looking out for her.

You may need to appeal to your siblings’ guilt to shake them out of their stinginess.

Remind them how your mom took care of you all practically her whole life. Now she’s depending on you.

However tense things get, keep the lines of communication open. Perhaps you could all sit down with an outside mediator to evaluate what your mom needs. Hang in there, and don’t neglect your own health.

Here’s why Jackson wanted No. 11

Sneaky fast

If you’re like most fans, you occasionally find yourself wondering why some of your favorite athletes wear the numbers they wear.

giving him one year of experience on the offensive side of the ball when he entered KU. It wasn’t until the end of his redshirt season that he started to feel comfortable.

“In high school, I relied on my speed to just run by people,” Patrick said. “But you can’t really do that at this level. I had to really improve my routes and my technique and my eyes and all that.”

After his redshirt season in 2014, Patrick proved to be a fast learner. That included adjusting to the Air Raid offense and a new coaching staff when Weis was fired and David Beaty took over.

“It was tough,” Patrick said of the coaching change. “But I feel like you can learn from anything. It’s up to you how you deal with it. You can either reject it or accept it and run with it, and that’s kind of what I did.”

Once Patrick was comfortable on the field, his natural talent did the rest. Last year, he went from the scout team at the beginning of fall camp to starter in one month.

He made a career-high six receptions in the second game against Memphis and he followed it with a game-high 70 receiving yards against Rutgers the following week. Fellow receivers went to him for advice on plays, route depth and coverages.

“He’s definitely dependable,” Cozart said. “When I know it’s a one-on-one coverage, I know exactly when he’s going to break his route, I can put the ball there and I know he’s going to get there.”

Before earning a starting spot, Patrick didn’t attract attention like other receivers.

He’s not the biggest target. Not all of the fast receivers can run a strong route or pull in tough catches.

Perhaps that’s what made him so “deceptive” in his rise to a starting role. Patrick simply wanted to make himself better in each practice and game.

“Under the radar or not, I just went out there and tried to give my team the best opportunity to win,” Patrick said. He admits he doesn’t have many individual goals for the upcoming year, besides winning games.

But one area he wants to improve is his leadership style.

Patrick, in his third year in the program, feels like one of the veterans on the team with such a young group of receivers.

“It seemed like yesterday, but then you wake up and I’m going on my third camp,” Patrick said. “It’s insane.”

A quieter player, he wants to become more vocal. Anything he can do to help his team win games is his first and foremost goal, especially after going through last season’s winless campaign.

“It was definitely an eye opener,” said Patrick, referring to last year. “We got to learn a lot and a lot of us got experience because we were really young. I feel like that just helped us so much and that was kind of our first year we were in the system. We really laid a foundation. I feel like this year we’ll be able to learn from a lot of those outcomes and just try to make our fans proud.”

Pittsburgh v. Cubs

By Howard Fendrich AP Tennis Writer

New York — Novak Djokovic double-faulted, then shook his right arm and grimaced.

Seconds later Monday night, a weak serve produced a wince, then was followed by a missed forehand that gave away a set in the defending champion’s first-round match at the U.S. Open.

While he managed to emerge with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, there were plenty of signs of trouble, starting with a visit from a trainer who massaged Djokovic’s bothersome arm after only five games.

Asked about his health during

an on-court interview, Djokovic deflected the question, saying, “I don’t think it’s necessary to talk about this now. I’m through. I’m taking it day by day.”

During the match, Djokovic hit first serves around 100 mph, sometimes slower — 25 mph or so below what’s normal for him.

He hit second serves in the low 80s mph.

This was the No. 1-ranked Djokovic’s first match at a major tournament since losing to Sam Querrey at Wimbledon.

Heading into the U.S. Open, Djokovic spoke about dealing with a left wrist injury that flared up in the days before the Rio Olympics this month. But that appeared to be just fine against Janowicz, a former top-

20 player who reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2013 and is now ranked 247th after his own series of injury issues.

Earlier in Arthur Ashe Stadium, another two-time U.S. Open champion, Rafael Nadal, stood near the net after winning his first Grand Slam match in three months — 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 against Denis Istomin — and unraveled the thick wrap of white tape protecting his all-important left wrist. He said he’s still not back to hitting his forehand the way he does when he’s at his best, but there was nothing that seemed to be as debilitating as what Djokovic went through.

All in all, Djokovic’s issues figure to loom large as the tournament progresses.

Decision to sit through anthem scrutinized

By Janie Mccauley AP Sports Wrter

San Francisco — From the White House to San Francisco police union headquarters, Colin Kaepernick’s name came up Monday as his decision to sit down during the national anthem reached far beyond football.

And many aren’t thrilled with the 49ers quarterback’s strong words about why he is doing it : To instigate change and challenge authority when it comes to race relations and what he considers police brutality.

A day after Kaepernick called Donald Trump “openly racist,” the Republican presidential candidate fired back on Seattle’s KIRO radio.

“I have followed it, and I think it’s personally not a good thing. I think it’s a terrible thing,” Trump said. “And you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try, it won’t happen.”

Kaepernick, who has sat through the anthem for all three 49ers preseason games so far, is prepared to keep fighting for what he believes in — even alone.

“The fact that it has blown up like this, I think it’s a good thing.

It brings awareness,” Kaepernick said Sunday.

Martin Halloran, the San Francisco Police Officers Association president, sent a letter Monday to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and 49ers CEO Jed York denouncing Kaeper-

nick’s “ill-advised” statements and a “naiveté” and “total lack of sensitivity” toward police, along with an “incredible lack of knowledge” about officer-involved shootings.

“There is some depth and some truth to what he was doing,” Seahawks star Richard Sherman said of Kaepernick.

“I think he could have picked a better platform and a better way to do it, but every day they say athletes are so robotic and do everything by the book and then when somebody takes a stand like that, he gets his head chopped off.”

The police union invited Kaepernick or anyone else from the league to visit the police academy to build understanding about the profession.

BRIEFLY Angels trade disappointing OF Daniel Nava to Royals Anaheim, Calif. — The Los Angeles Angels have traded outfielder Daniel Nava to the Kansas City Royals.

The Angels announced the deal Monday night.

Los Angeles also traded cash considerations to the Royals, who will send back cash or a player to be named later.

Nava struggled in his only

Banks and sophomore right tackle Clyde McCauley III. For the second unit, Banks is listed as Shelley-Smith’s backup, redshirt freshman Mesa Ribordy will serve as a sub at both left guard and center, sophomore Larry Hughes is at right guard and true freshman Hakeem Adeniji, who took first-string reps at KU’s most recent open practice, is the No. 2 right tackle.

Junior Jayson Rhodes, who appeared to be a starter just more than a week ago, isn’t listed on the two-deep.

The first-string defense, however, seemed consistent with what the Jayhawks coaches expected during preseason camp.

season with the Angels, who hoped he could fill their gaping void in left field after adding him in the offseason. He batted .235 with one homer and 13 RBIs in 45 games for the Angels, and he missed 46 games with tendinitis and a groin strain.

Nava is expected to head to Triple-A Omaha for the Royals.

Senior end Anthony Olobia, sophomore end Dorance Armstrong Jr. and sophomore tackles Daniel Wise and D.J. Williams will man the defensive line. Sophomore end Josh Ehambe, senior end Damani Mosby and junior tackles Isi Holani and Jacky Dezir will back them up.

Senior linebacker Marcquis Roberts and junior linebacker Joe Dineen, as long expected, will start. When they need a breather, sophomore Osaze Ogbebor and senior Courtney Arnick will have their backs.

In the secondary, KU expects to start senior cornerbacks Brandon Stewart and Marnez Ogletree, senior safety Fish Smithson, sophomore safety

KU football unveils locker room

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Just in time for the first game week of the season, Kansas football players on Sunday evening got to check out the team’s refurbished locker room for the first time.

Throughout preseason camp, the Jayhawks had to stay out of the space on the ground floor of Anderson Family Football Complex as the project reached completion.

During that time, players instead used a renovated but old room underneath Memorial Stadium that coach David Beaty said “didn’t have a whole lot of ventilation.”

Needless to say, Beaty explained Monday morning on the Big 12 football coaches media conference call, the players were pretty excited to

helped on the par-5s with getting to the hole.”

Hoopingarner felt that she played her best golf on the front nine, despite there being an hour-long lightning delay an hour into the tournament.

“I definitely had to focus and get my mind back on golf,” Hoopingarner said. “I just had to think about my swing and just keep doing what I was doing before the delay.”

Hoopingarner’s round of 96 was right around what her average was from when she played during the summer. The Firebird No. 1 golfer believes that there are a few things she can clean up in her game to drop a few more strokes.

“I hope to maybe bring my score down to maybe lower 90s, like 93 or lower,” Hoopingarner said.

“I just hope to really improve my game and maybe just par more holes than I have.”

The Firebirds finished sixth as a team at the SMNW Invitational, which doubled as the first leg of the Sunflower League tournament.

evacuate their temporary headquarters.

“I guess the word ripe comes to mind in terms of the way that room smelled,” Beaty said. “So I think they were looking for some relief from that, as well.”

KU’s second-year head coach thought the Jayhawks benefited from experiencing the past few weeks of practices, including some two-a-days sessions, in a less than desirable setting before introducing them to their freshly revamped, state-of-theart locker room.

“But I think that allowed us to understand that’s not gonna make or break you. When we were able to walk into that room (Sunday night), I think the appreciation level was extremely high,” Beaty said. “You

— Junior linebacker Joe Dineen, on the Jayhawks’ new locker room could tell just a sense of energy infused into our guys as they walked in there.”

The old locker room, built in 2008, received more than $2 million worth of upgrades, courtesy of KU football donors.

A KU spokesperson said the overhaul isn’t quite totally complete, but the improved area will feature a new layout, redesigned lockers personalized for each player, an updated sound system and an illuminated Jayhawk on the ceiling.

finish after carding a round of 121 in her first tournament of the season.

“I think that I have a lot to improve on, but I’m heading in the right direction,” Lopez said.

Much to Lopez’s surprise, her weakest part of her game ended up being her best on Monday.

“My putting was really good today, which it’s usually not, so that’s good,” Lopez said.

While Hoopingarner was able to get right back on track after the lightning delay, it took Lopez a little while to find her Chris Duderstadt/Journal-World Photo swing.

Adjacent to the locker room lies the modernized players lounge, complete with a pool table, shuffleboard, foosball, air hockey, pop-ashot, arcade games, a barber shop, cushy theater-style seats and bigscreen televisions connected to video game consoles.

Since Beaty took over the program, he said the players have done everything the coaches have asked of them.

Rewarding them with a revamped facility, he added, helps keep the

Jayhawks’ focus on the team’s “stakeholders,” as the players try to give the fans a team that will make them proud.

“It was a pleasure to be able to open those doors (Sunday) and let those guys know how much they’re appreciated,” Beaty said, “and really being able to reinforce the fact that people care about them here and there is a commitment to football.”

In a video of the players’ first steps inside their cutting-edge locker room, posted by KU Athletics, the Jayhawks show off some of their favorite parts of their new home. A placard above each stall features every player’s picture, name, number, hometown and Twitter handle. Each locker has spaces equipped to

charge their phones and special filtered compartments to air out their cleats, shoes and shoulder pads.

“This is insane,” junior linebacker Joe Dineen said in the video. “This is a lot nicer than I expected it to be. A lot of room. Even like the little gadgets inside the locker are just insane.”

Dineen said the Jayhawks also got to have lunch with the donors who made the renovation possible.

Senior safety Fish Smithson said KU’s players lounge now probably ranks as one of the best in the country. “This definitely helps out recruiting a lot,” Smithson said in the video, “’cause you know kids these days, they want to see what makes your program different.”

Beaty doesn’t plan to reveal QB decision prior to game

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas football coach David Beaty remains coy on the subject of who will start at quarterback against Rhode Island.

In fact, as of Monday morning on the Big 12 coaches media conference call, Beaty indicated he won’t publicly name KU’s No. 1 QB prior to Saturday’s 6 p.m. kickoff against URI at Memorial Stadium.

“We basically are still in our competition mode with our guys,” Beaty said. “We’re not gonna name a starter. You’ll see somebody run out there Saturday. And whenever that guy gets on the field, that’ll be the guy that takes the field.”

The Jayhawks’ secondyear head coach remained vague when asked whether the players would find out the identity of the first-string quarterback prior to the game, saying he “might” tell them.

Chuckling, Beaty quickly added, “We might not.”

Sophomore Ryan

DR. KEVIN LENAHAN OPTOMETRIST

Willis started e i g h t g a m e s as a true freshman for KU last season. WilCozart lis took over after Montell Cozart, the starter in three of the first four games, suffered a seasonWillis ending shoulder injury.

T h e two remain the most likely candidates to open the Stanley season as the starter, but apparently neither created enough separation in the race at preseason camp to secure that title.

What’s more, when KU released its first depth chart

of the season Monday afternoon, it listed Willis, Cozart and redshirt freshman Carter Stanley as the three possible starters.

Willis completed 164 of his 315 throws (52.1 percent) for 1,719 yards in 2015, with nine touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. Cozart connected on 66 of his 105 attempts (62.9 percent), netting 752 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. Stanley has yet to experience game action at the college level.

According to the man running the program, keeping the No. 1 quarterback’s name a secret leading up to the Jayhawks’ 2016 debut should provide his team an edge.

“We have an advantage.

We know who’s gonna play quarterback for us and whenever we send that guy out there, we’ll know exactly what we’re gonna do with him,” Beaty said. “That’s the advantage we’re gonna carry and we’re gonna carry it all the way into the game.

I’m not gonna give that advantage away.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Royals red hot with win over Yankees The Associated Press

American League Royals 8, Yankees 5 Kansas City, Mo. — Dillon Gee kept the Royals’ momentum going with six sharp innings, Alcides Escobar hit a threerun homer and Kansas City beat New York on Monday night to open their three-game set.

Gee (6-7) allowed only four hits and a run in the latest impressive start by the Royals’ staff, helping the reigning World Series champions win for the 18th time in 22 games.

Lorenzo Cain, Kendrys Morales and Alex Gordon drove in runs off Michael Pineda (6-11) during a five-hit salvo in the first inning. Pineda then retired 15 straight before getting into a two-on, no-outs jam in the seventh that led to Escobar’s homer off reliever Blake Parker.

Starlin Castro drove in two runs for the Yankees, the second in a four-run eighth inning that forced Kansas City manager Ned Yost to summon fill-in closer Kelvin Herrera.

He retired Mark Teixeira to get out of that jam, then put runners on the corners in the ninth before striking out Castro for his 11th save.

The Royals (69-62) were seven games below .500 on Aug. 6, nearly left for dead 11 games back in the AL Central. But their impressive run fueled by sharp pitching, timely hitting and a dominant back of the bullpen has thrust the scrappy bunch back into the playoff chase.

They are 5 1/2 games behind Cleveland in the division and just two behind the second wild card.

It was a frustrating night for the Yankees, who had elbowed their own way back in the playoff chase. They were a half-game behind Kansas City at the start of the night, but their second straight loss on the heels of a four-game winning streak was costly against a fellow contender.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi’s frustration was evident when he was tossed by plate umpire Brian O’Nora for arguing balls and strikes with the bases loaded and no outs in the eighth inning.

Didi Gregorius proceeded to deliver a tworun double, and the Yankees tacked on two more runs against the Kansas City bullpen before Herrera put a stop to their rally.

Tigers 4, White Sox 3 Detroit — Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift Detroit to a victory over Chicago.

Justin Upton also went deep for the Tigers, who pulled within a game of Baltimore for the American League’s second wild card.

Detroit trailed 3-2 after a solo homer in the seventh by Chicago’s Tyler Saladino, but Saltalamacchia’s towering drive to right-center off Nate Jones (5-3) put the Tigers ahead.

Justin Wilson (4-4) got the win in relief, and Francisco Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth for his 37th save in 40 chances.

Saladino drove in all three Chicago runs. James Shields allowed two runs and six hits in six innings, ending an awful August on a decent note, but the White Sox couldn’t hold a one-run lead for him.

Cardinals 6, Brewers 5 Milwaukee — Stephen Piscotty scored on a throwing error in the ninth inning after Carlos Martinez struck out a career-high 13, leading St. Louis over Milwaukee.

With two on and nobody out in the ninth, Yadier Molina dropped down a bunt. Reliever Tyler Thornburg (5-5) threw to third base for a force out, but Jonathan Villar’s throw to first was wild, allowing Piscotty to score.

After Martinez held Milwaukee to one run over six innings, the Brewers scored four runs in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead. St. Louis tied it in the eighth on a two-run homer by Randal Grichuk off Corey Knebel.

Seung Hwan Oh pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save.
