August tax collections $10M below expectations By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — Tax revenues came in more than $10 million short for the month of August, the Kansas Department of Revenue said Thursday,

putting the state closer to the point where Gov. Sam Brownback may need to order more spending cuts to balance the state budget. Although individual income taxes, one of the big sources of revenue shortfalls in earlier

months, came in nearly $15 million above estimates, that was offset by big shortfalls in retail sales and corporate income taxes. “Individual income taxes beat estimates for the second month of the fiscal year, which

is encouraging, but corporate, sale and use tax receipts continue to lag pulling down the overall totals,” Secretary of Revenue Nick Jordan said in a statement that accompanied the report. Although the state had

expected to take in about $10 million in corporate income taxes, it actually received only about $304,000, prompting many people to ask what had happened since corporate

Kobach defends voting laws in light of primary results

Topeka — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said Thursday that a record number of people were registered to vote in the Aug. 2 primaries, and that turnout was about normal for a presidential year primary, suggesting that is proof that the photo ID and proof of citizenship laws he championed in 2011 are not standing in the way of people voting. In fact, he said those laws helped ensure the Peter Hancock/Journal-World Photo integrity of some particularly close races, includ- GOV.

Affordable housing board drafts goals for next 10 years

Kris Grinter said it’s been difficult to track exactly how many people have visited, though the nearby Tonganoxie/Eudora turnpike interchange had a bump of 28,000 more cash transactions in 2015 than 2014, she said. How many of those were coming to visit the sunflowers is anyone’s guess, but she said last year’s attendance definitely was the most the farm has experienced.

The list of goals drawn up by members of the Affordable Housing Advisory Board begins with increasing funding for affordable apartments and homes and ends with eliminating Lawrence’s shortage of affordable housing within 10 years. Between the two are specific steps along the way. “I think this will help us move from all of our talking to some action,” the board’s city liaison, Assistant City Manager Casey Toomay, told attendees of the board’s

irresponsible agenda,” Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said. At the end of the 2016 legislative session, Brownback was forced to order $97 million in cuts to the budget bill he had just signed in order to balance the budget for this fiscal year. State officials estimated at that time that if revenues came in as projected, the state would end this fiscal year on June 30, 2017, with a balance of $93 million in the general fund. Since then, however, revenues have continued to come up short, missing the mark by $34 million in June, another $12.8 million in July, and now an additional $10.2 million in August. That could put the projected ending balance as low as about $35 million as of this month, with two more months of revenue reports due to come out before the Nov. 8 general elections. And between now and then, the Kansas Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Sept. 21

in a school finance lawsuit in which four plaintiff school districts are seeking an order for as much as, or more than, $500 million a year in additional funding for K-12 education. The court is not expected to rule on that case until after the elections, but a decision could come before, or early into, the 2017 legislative session. During that session, lawmakers are expected to write a new school finance formula to replace the one they repealed in 2015, and on Wednesday Brownback stood with top officials from the Kansas State Department of Education to solicit ideas from education groups and the public about what that formula should look like. But Hensley said the August revenue report showed that the biggest question facing the state is not the formula, but where the money to fund it will come from.

Housing

from organizations such as the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority, Lawrence Home Builders Association and Justice Matters. Despite the specific interests of some of the organizations, city commissioner and board member Stuart Boley said the board’s goals should serve the entire community. “We don’t have our own goals, but we take the goals from the community and these are ways that we can address them,” Boley said. As far as increasing funding for the affordable housing trust, board members plan to find multiple sources of revenue. The

city has already allocated $300,000 toward the trust in 2017, and its five-year capital improvement plan includes another $300,000 in 2018 and $350,000 per year from 2019 through 2021, for a total of $1.65 million. The board’s goal is to increase that funding and gain additional sources of revenue. In order to meet the needs for affordable housing in 10 years, the board set targets for the availability and cost of affordable housing, one to be met in the next 24 months and another to be met in the next five years. As part of the overall effort, the shortage would be addressed by creating affordable rental

units and first-time homes throughout the city via new construction as well as the conversion of existing properties. The board’s goal to strengthen partnerships includes those with the public at large, as well as those with local organizations. Specifically, the board discussed expanding the board to include three additional partners: the Lawrence chamber of commerce, the University of Kansas and the Lawrence Board of Realtors. After the meeting, Boley said a major hurdle for the effort is the community’s understanding of affordable housing as something that has widespread

implications for everyone. “The benefits of having good, affordable housing transcend just the benefits for the person who is living in the housing,” Boley said. “…To me the goals really are permanent affordable housing that’s dispersed throughout the community so that we have the kind of community where people can work and live here and thrive.” The board’s next meeting is Sept. 12, and the board plans to finalize its goals and discuss individual steps for each one.

sift through the results, adding in provisional ballots that were cast on Election Day, and sending their tallies to the secretary of state’s office. No candidates filed objections to the county canvasses, and so the state board did not have to rule on any contested races. Going into Election Day, however, there were serious questions about how the proof of citizenship law could affect the primaries because of a last-minute flurry of legal actions that ultimately prevented the state from enforcing that law on voters who had registered under a federal program at motor vehicle offices. Kobach’s office had estimated that 17,500 people were made eligible to vote because of those judicial orders. But in the end, he said, only 73 of those people actually cast ballots. But Kansas Democratic Party executive director Kerry Gooch challenged Kobach’s claims about the impact of the

voting laws. “What about the thousands of voters that are in suspense that showed up to the polls that weren’t allowed to vote?” he asked. “I think if we, as Kansans, are restricting any Kansan’s right to have access to vote, then the law is a problem.” The proof of citizenship law is still under challenge in both state and federal courts. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver is expected to rule soon on Kobach’s motion to lift an injunction handed down by a federal district court that resulted in those 17,500 “motor voter” applicants being added to the voting rolls for the primary, despite the fact that they had not provided proof of U.S. citizenship. And a state judge in Shawnee County will hear arguments later this month in a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union seeking to block Kobach from enforcing a new regulation that would create a dual registration system,

allowing those motor voter registrants to vote only in federal races. Meanwhile, Kobach, who is the state’s chief election officer, has stirred controversy recently on another front by appearing repeatedly on cable TV news programs this election cycle, speaking as an official surrogate for Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump’s campaign, especially when discussing Trump’s positions on immigration issues. The most recent of those appearances happened Wednesday when Kobach appeared on a CNN program discussing Trump’s meeting that day with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, and his speech later in the day in Arizona that focused on immigration policy. “I think it’s highly inappropriate for the chief election official to be making endorsements of people that are on the ballot,” Gooch said. “And he’s not just doing it for the federal races. He’s

going to be endorsing people in state races too.” Gooch said it was reminiscent of the 2000 presidential race between Republican George W. Bush and then-Vice President Al Gore. That race came down to contested results in Florida, whose secretary of state at the time, Katherine Harris, was also a state co-chair of the Bush campaign. “I think that there are some similarities,” Gooch said. “We haven’t gotten to that point yet, but I think it’s something we should all continue to watch because we could end up in a similar situation.” Kobach, however, defended his role in the Trump campaign, which also includes advising the campaign on immigration issues. “In Kansas, and in most states, the secretary of state is an elected position, so the position is itself partisan,” Kobach said. “And in Kansas, the county election officials, in all but four counties, are the elected county clerks. So indeed in that situation you have a

The retreat lasted roughly six hours, and board members spent part of that time identifying and discussing their main goals. The preliminary goals discussed include increasing funding amounts and sources; building new houses and converting existing housing to meet affordability guidelines; and strengthening community partnerships.

in a House district in Wichita that was decided by a single vote. “Every time that happens, I’m particularly thankful that we have photo ID and we have proof of citizenship, because when you have a call that’s that close, the ref can have some certainty that we got it right,” Kobach said. “We know there weren’t any mistaken votes or votes that were cast illegitimately.” Kobach made those remarks as he, Gov. Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt met as the State Board of Canvassers to certify the results of the Aug. 2 primaries. The meeting was merely an administrative act, required by law before the state declares the final, official vote tallies. In the weeks since the primary, each county had its own board of canvassers

income taxes were not part of the controversial tax cuts that Gov. Sam Brownback championed in 2012 and 2013, cuts that Democrats have said are the major reason for the state’s persistent shortfalls. Jordan, however, said the numbers in Kansas reflect a national trend, and he cited recent statements from Moody’s Investor Services saying most states that tax corporate income can expect to see declining revenues from that source. Still, the report was bad news politically for Republican lawmakers who face re-election in a little more than two months, and Democrats were quick to pounce on the report. “This is another indication that Kansans need to speak up by voting in November to replace those legislators who have rubber stamped Sam Brownback’s

Schools benefit still seeking sponsors —

Food truck festival may have to dip into donations to cover costs By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Julia Ireland is hoping to raise money for local schools this fall when the first-ever Savor Lawrence Food Truck Festival rolls into downtown Oct. 23. But Ireland, a local restaurateur and coorganizer of the event, will need more festival sponsors in order to hit her fundraising goal for the Lawrence Schools Foundation and the Farm to School program. The idea, she said, is to write a check for the beneficiaries that would come from ticket sales. Savor Lawrence organizers are aiming for at least $20,000, but at this point, the festival doesn’t have enough sponsors to cover operational costs without dipping into the money set aside for the charities. “It’s not as easy to raise funds for this as I thought it was going to be,” said Ireland, who co-owns the Torched Goodness food truck and Fork to Fender restaurant with her husband, chef Eric Ireland. “The point that we’re at now is really needing some sponsors to kick in, because it’s expensive to put on a festival of this size.” In a perfect world, she

“

Basically, if we don’t get enough sponsorship, the show would still go on, but it would cut into the check for the Lawrence schools.” — Savor Lawrence Food Truck Festival co-organizer Julia Ireland

said, the sponsorships would add up to about $15,000, but Savor Lawrence organizers have only secured about half that much as of Thursday. She’s hoping to fill that gap by Sept. 15. “If we don’t get all of that, we have some pieces of the puzzle that will wait to be paid until after the event, and those funds would come from ticket sales,” Ireland said. “So, basically, if we don’t get enough sponsorship, the show would still go on, but it would cut into the check for the Lawrence schools.” Ireland and her fellow organizers of the festival, which is being presented in conjunction with Fine Thyme Foods, set out earlier this year with the idea of benefitting a nonprofit focused on children and education, ultimately settling on the Lawrence Schools Foundation, which generates and distributes funds to Lawrence public schools. The Lawrence district’s Farm to School program, Ireland said, seemed like a natural fit

for the culinary festival. Farm to School, which is sponsored by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, aims to expand the prevalence of fresh, local foods in school cafeterias while instilling in student gardeners a greater understanding of healthy eating and how food is cultivated. Currently, the district supports gardens at eight elementary schools (Cordley, Hillcrest, New York, Prairie Park, Quail Run, Langston Hughes, Sunset Hill and Woodlawn) and all four of its middle schools, as well as greenhouses at both Lawrence High School and Free State High School. Funds raised by Savor Lawrence would help with the cost of garden beds, border, mulch and other startup expenses, according to district representatives. Many of the students who will benefit from Savor Lawrence are already taking an active role in the fundraising efforts, Ireland said, providing ingredients to the foodtruck vendors and signing on to sell produce from

school plots under farmers market-style stands at the event. “All the food trucks have already sent in their list of produce they’ll need,” Ireland said. “And the kids are really excited.” Getting young people involved in the process of growing, harvesting and cooking their own food, she said, is what ultimately leads to healthier adults — and communities — in the long run. “It all goes back to knowing the right foods to eat and the right quantity,” Ireland said. “It’s just really something that we all feel so strongly about — kids understanding food and where it comes from and what your body needs.” Ultimately, she’d like to make Savor Lawrence an annual event, ideally raising the fundraising goal with each cycle. This year’s Savor Lawrence will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Oct. 23 in front of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Anyone interested in sponsoring the event is encouraged to contact Julia Ireland at info@savorlawrence.com. — K-12 education reporter Joanna Hlavacek can be reached at 832-6388.

BRIEFLY Man charged with capital murder in woman’s death Overland Park (ap) — Prosecutors in Johnson County have charged a 22-year-old man with capital murder and rape in connection with last month’s death of a woman whose body was found this week. Prosecutors charged Korrey Raine White Rinke of Ottawa on Thursday in the death of 46-yearold Julianna Pappas. Her body was found late Wednesday in a wooded area of Overland Park. She was last seen Aug. 22. Court records do not indicate how Pappas was killed. During Rinke’s initial court appearance Thursday, an attorney from the Kansas Death Penalty Defense Unit was appointed to represent him. His next court date is scheduled for Wednesday.

Man dead after pointing handgun at Kansas deputy Wichita (ap) — An 18-year-old is dead after pointing a gun at a Sedgwick County deputy who pulled him over for driving erratically. Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter says the deputy spotted a possible impaired driver around 1 a.m. Thursday in Wichita and stopped the vehicle. The sheriff says the driver, Caleb Douglas, pointed a handgun at the deputy’s face after being asked to step out of his car.

Easter says the deputy retreated before firing at least 16 shots at the driver, who drove off before striking a house. An autopsy will show whether one of the deputy’s bullets killed Douglas, or if he killed himself. The 32-year-old deputy has been a patrol officer for 14 months and has seven years of prior law enforcement experience. Both he and the driver are white.

Earthquake shakes part of northern Kansas Ellis (ap) — A 3.2 magnitude earthquake has shaken part of northern Kansas. The Kansas Geological Survey says the quake struck Wednesday about 15 miles northwest of Hays. No damage has been reported. Scientists say damage is not likely in earthquakes below magnitude 4.0. It was centered about 150 miles away from the quake-prone Kansas counties of Harper and Sumner.

Record company president guilty in rapper’s death Olathe (ap) — A Kansas City rapper and record company president is guilty in the killing of an aspiring rapper from Kansas. A Johnson County District Court jury on Thursday found 33-yearold Dale “Poppa Willo” Willis guilty of first-degree murder in the

September 2015 death of 24-yearold Jurl Carter of Olathe. Prosecutors say Willis, president of Duced Out Records, ordered his brother, James Willis, to shoot Carter after a confrontation outside an Overland Park bar. James Willis is awaiting trial on a murder charge. The Kansas City Star reports Carter, who went by Yunglyfe Carter or Bo Boogy, was driving away when James Willis allegedly fired several shots at his car, hitting Carter four times in the chest. Attorneys for Dale Willis argued no evidence confirmed that Dale Willis ordered the shooting.

Man pleads guilty in Edgerton bar death Edgerton (ap) — A 32-yearold Kansas man has pleaded no contest in the death of a bar patron who was struck in the head with a pool cue a week before Christmas. WDAF-TV reports Gregory Cooper of Edgerton was charged with second-degree murder and attempted aggravated battery in the death of 23-year-old Tyler Knudsen at an Edgerton bar on Dec. 19. Johnson County prosecutors said Cooper “unintentionally, but recklessly” killed Knudsen when he swung a pool cue at another man’s head but instead hit the victim. Cooper entered his plea on Tuesday. His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 18.

Former inmate awarded $2.5M in prison sex case Topeka (ap) — A former Topeka Correctional Facility inmate who was sexually assaulted by an instructor at the women’s prison in 2007 has been awarded $2.5 million by a federal judge, but it is not certain she’ll ever see any of that money. U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree on Tuesday issued the ruling against Ananstacio Gallardo for $750,000 in actual damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages for assaulting the woman, who became pregnant as a result of the incident. Gallardo, who was a vocational plumbing instructor at the Topeka facility, pleaded guilty to one felony count of unlawful sexual relations with an inmate and two felony counts of trafficking contraband in exchange for prosecutors dropping a rape charge. Because the judgment was against Gallardo as an individual rather than in his capacity as a state employee — and because he is serving a federal prison sentence for drug and gun-related offenses — it’s not clear if the woman can recover any of the award, the Topeka Capital-Journal reported. In October 2007, Gallardo was a vocational plumbing instructor at the facility when he forced the victim to have sex with him. She became pregnant and alleged Gallardo smuggled a

morning-after pill into the prison for her, urged her to escape from the prison to get an abortion, and had another inmate stomp on her stomach in the hopes of inducing a miscarriage. She accused Gallardo of trying to intimidate her into keeping quiet, including telling her, “Who’s going to believe you? You’re an inmate.” The case became part of a broader sexual abuse scandal at the women’s prison that contributed to a change in state law on sexual relations with prisoners. The Capital-Journal published a number of stories in 2009 about sexual misconduct at the prison, prompting two independent audits in 2010 that identified dozens of changes necessary to protect female inmates, improve management and upgrade security. Warden Richard Koerner was removed in 2010, ending his long career with the Department of Corrections. Then-Gov. Mark Parkinson signed a bill making it a felony to have unlawful sexual relations with inmates. An investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2012 found widespread sexual abuse at the facility among state employees and inmates, violating the rights of women incarcerated there.

Kansas dealing with shortage of construction workers

Topeka (ap) — Commercial contractors in Kansas are struggling to fill construction jobs, a national trade association reported Wednesday. The Associated General Contractors of America said that 83 percent of surveyed construction firms say they are facing difficulties filling hourly craft positions, even though Kansas lost more than 4,000 construction jobs from July 2015 to July 2016. The association notes that 69 percent of firms nationwide are experiencing similar difficulties. Lawmakers have attributed the job losses to delayed highway projects, according to the Topeka Capital-Journal. Trade association CEO Stephen Sandherr says the most difficult positions to fill are carpenters, electricians, roofers, plumbers and concrete workers. He says nearly half of firms nationwide have responded to worker shortages by raising base pay rates for craft workers, and 22 percent have improved employee benefits

and added bonuses and incentives. But Sandherr says shortages are not going to be alleviated any time soon, partially because of the increasing demand for construction work in many other parts of the country. Jay Lucas, vice president of operations for McCownGordon, said his company is trying to tackle the shortage by talking to subcontractors and working with trade schools and high schools to find workers. Lucas’s company has also reached out to veterans leaving the military in the Fort Riley area as well as younger people. Lucas, whose company is remodeling the Hayden Office Building for the Kansas Health Institute in Topeka, said young people have mistakenly been called lazy. “They are not at all. They just need to see that there’s an avenue that provides a good compensation, good benefits and has a future, and construction is one of the best avenues to go into,” Lucas said.

Midwest economic survey figures show slight improvement Associated Press

Omaha, Neb. — Figures from a survey of supply managers in nine Midwest and Plains states have risen slightly but still suggest slow or no economic growth ahead, according to a monthly report issued Thursday. The Mid-American Business Conditions index inched up to 47.8 in August from 47.6 in July, the report said.

Sunflowers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The field, at 24154 Stillwell Road, is just off U.S. Highway 24-40 between Tonganoxie and Lawrence. Whether it be from competing weeds or a heavy rain after planting, the field is in different stages of growth, though Grinter said visitors can find the most mature sunflowers by taking the gravel road just east of the field back farther to the north. “It’s hard to get rid of the weeds because the sunflowers are weeds also,” she said. The Grinters expect the blooms to be ready for visitors this weekend. Some of the flowers had to be replanted, so those flowers could offer folks who can’t make it out this weekend more opportunities next week and into the Sept. 10 weekend. For tips and guidelines for visiting the field, check out the Grinter Farms Facebook page.

“Weakness among manufacturers linked to agriculture and energy continue to weigh on regional economic conditions,” said Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey. “Due to the heavy dependence of the region on these two sectors, I will expect to see the regional economy to continue to underperform the national economy.” The survey results are compiled into a collection of

indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth. A score below that suggests decline. The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota. The regional employment gauge showed the region’s manufacturing sector continued to lose jobs. The index dropped to 44.0 from July’s 46.9.

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data indicate the region’s manufacturing sector has lost more than 22,000 jobs for a loss of 1.6 percent of total manufacturing jobs over the past year, Goss said. By comparison, the region gained 102,000 jobs for all sectors for an increase of 0.8 percent, he said. Economic optimism, as captured by the August business confidence index, sank to 45.4 last month from July’s 47.0. Goss cited global economic

uncertainty and the region’s weaknesses in the agricultural and energy sectors for the supply managers’ dour outlook. The wholesale inflation gauge remained in a range indicating modest inflationary pressures at the wholesale level, Goss said, though the prices-paid index declined to 56.5 from July’s 60.8. On average, he said, supply managers expect prices for their companies’ products to rise by 1.6 percent in the second half of 2016.

“We used this year to see how well they would do and if they did well, we could use them in conjunction with the fall festival next year,” Ward said. Tonganoxie hasn’t officially decided on when its annual festival will take place moving forward, but sesquicentennial organizers have been leaning toward the fall. As for the civic club’s green thumbs, the first run has been a learning experience. “I would say it’s mixed results,” Ward said. “Several locations are doing really well and there are others where they didn’t come at all. “It’s really hard to understand why that happened. I think next time we’ll drop a couple of seeds in each hole.” Ward anticipates the Tonganoxie flowers to be blooming the second weekend of September. He invites visitors to see the roughly 10 sunflower spots throughout Tonganoxie and check out the town in the process. “One of the interesting things I didn’t know … they’ll grow and then when they bloom, they’ll face the east.”

Season 2 of ‘Narcos’ now on Netflix Netflix begins streaming the second season of “Narcos” beginning today. Brazilian actor Wagner Moura portrays the real-life Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in this surprisingly rich character study of the rebel, entrepreneur, husband and philanthropist at the center of the 1980s drug scourge. Not unlike the recent ESPN 2 documentary “Pin Kings,” this drama follows the parallel lives of dealers and their pursuers in the Colombian police and military as well as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Peter Gallagher stars as Jonathan Reeves, the embattled director of the American Ballet Academy in “Center Stage: On Pointe” (7 p.m., LMN) the second sequel to the 2000 dance drama “Center Stage.” Reeves and his company face financial ruin because of his dedication to classic ballet and resistance to gimmicky trends. This leads him to agree to the reality-TV style competition at the heart of this rather listless TV movie. Backstage drama revolves around Bella Parker (Nicole Munoz), a spunky striver who has lived in the shadow of her ballerina sister and who spends the dance camp evading the passive-aggressive sabotage of snootier competitors. It’s fun to see how accomplished actor Peter Gallagher has moved from sexy roles in such provocative films as “Sex, Lies and Videotape” and “American Beauty” to the slightly overwhelmed adult figure in more youth-centric efforts. Of course, when you’re best known as Sandy Cohen on “The O.C.,” that tends to happen. “Nightmare Next Door” (9 p.m., ID, TV-14) enters its sixth season with “The Key to Murder,” the tale of a former homecoming queen whose slaying rocked the town of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and eventually involved the state’s Supreme Court. AMC gets into Labor Day weekend marathon mode with a festival of Rocky Balboa fight movie fantasies, including “Rocky” (2 p.m.); “Rocky II” (4:30 p.m.); “Rocky III” (7 p.m.) and “Rocky IV” (9:30 p.m.). Tonight’s other highlights l U.S. Open Tennis (6 p.m., ESPN2). l The semifinals begin on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). l A team from Madison Avenue proposes a cure for cellphone addiction on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG). l A strange alliance forms to thwart the Level Six plan for the Quad on the second season finale of “Killjoys” (8 p.m., Syfy, TV-14).

Tempting goal KU fans will be happy if the football team wins Saturday, but they should celebrate with class and leave the goal posts standing.

he University of Kansas kicks off its football season at 6 p.m. Saturday against Rhode Island. Here’s hoping the game goes well for the Jayhawks, who are favored to beat the Rams, a Football Championship Subdivision team coming off of a 1-10 season in 2015. Being favored is a unique position for the Jayhawks, who have lost their last 15 games since beating Iowa State on Nov. 8, 2014. If Kansas does come through with a victory, and we believe it will, here’s hoping fans find a more sensible way to celebrate than tearing down the goal posts as they did after that 2014 win over the then 2-7 Cyclones and after a win over West Virginia in 2013. Perhaps the most senseless goal post destruction didn’t even involve a KU win; last Most of all, it’s fall, fans tore down the goal disrespectful and posts at Memoembarrassing to rial Stadium afthe players and ter the Royals won the World coaches on both Series. teams and to the We get it. university. Wins have been hard to come by of late for Kansas. The team is a collective 12-60 since Mark Mangino was fired at the end of the 2009 season. But tearing down the goal posts after rare wins is no way to celebrate. Goal post destruction is not a tradition. What it is, is dangerous (countless fans have been injured in field-rushing, goal post-rushing incidents), costly (about $10,000 for the goal posts) and stupid (how does destroying property equate to celebration?). Most of all, it’s disrespectful and embarrassing to the players and coaches on both teams and to the university. Coach David Beaty inherited a football program in difficult straits. He has done an admirable job of starting the rebuilding process. Recruiting continues to improve and despite the lack of wins there is a sense of optimism about the program. Beaty’s relentlessly upbeat outlook is largely responsible for that. Hopefully, a large crowd turns out at Memorial Stadium Saturday night to support Beaty and the Jayhawks, who have spent the past several weeks preparing for this moment. Hopefully, KU is prepared with appropriate security to discourage field-storming. And hopefully, KU fans give the team their enthusiastic support that doesn’t include tearing down the goal posts when KU wins.

Trump, Clinton hiding something? It’s no wonder Americans have a negative opinion of both major presidential nominees. Beyond their escalating rhetoric, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump continue to act as if they have something to hide, raising the prospect that voters may not know everything they should before Election Day.

Carl Leubsdorf carl.p.leubsdorf@gmail.com

“

Both should release detailed reports on their health. Trump should release his tax returns. And Clinton should expand her press interactions to include regular opportunities for questioning by her traveling press corps.” Investigators keep finding more Clinton-related emails, underscoring the former secretary of state’s lack of transparency and her cozy, continuing relationship with the Clinton Foundation and its donors (though so far one that more exemplifies traditional Washington access of contributors than indicates improper impact on governmental policy). And Trump continues his refusal to follow tradition and release his tax returns, enabling him to keep many details of his complex finances from public view. Investigative reporting by authors and newspapers suggests everything from a history of housing discrimination to potentially serious conflicts involving major banks and foreign countries. Two separate events in the past week illustrated both their respective problems and the significant contrast between what we know of the one and the other. One was The Associated Press revelation that Clinton’s appointment calendars, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act

lawsuit, showed dozens of private meetings while she was secretary of state with foundation contributors. Clinton tried to keep the data secret, both by setting up her private email system and rejecting AP requests. But the AP found no ethical or legal violations. The other was a bizarre interview with Trump’s doctor about his letter declaring the Republican nominee would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” Dr. Harold Bornstein told NBC News he wrote the letter, largely devoid of specifics, in just five minutes while a representative of the candidate waited in his limousine outside, adding, “I think I picked up his kind of language and then just interpreted it to my own.” Both the minimal content and the circumstances Dr. Bornstein related seemed surprising from a candidate whose campaign repeatedly suggests — without any evidence — that Clinton is covering up details about her health. In fact, while Clinton has also not issued full medical details, she has provided more than Trump, which has not prevented him from pledging now to reveal his details if she disclosed hers. That contrast in transparency seems generally to be the case. Though Clinton has often limited her disclosures, and continues to avoid full-scale press con-

ferences, Trump has done less. Their tax returns are the main example. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, have followed the traditional approach for presidential nominees by releasing returns for 30 years, at the cost of stories about their vast income from speaking fees and other outside endeavors. Trump has refused to release his tax returns, citing the fact that recent years are under audit. His son Eric said it would be “foolish” to release prior returns, because, “You would have a bunch of people who know nothing about taxes trying to look through and trying to come up with assumptions on something they know nothing about.” Indeed, there is little doubt journalists would find fertile ground; the few years for which Trump was forced to release earlier returns showed he paid no taxes. But more significant than his tax rate might be any internal evidence of financial indebtedness to foreign countries that might influence his actions as president. An extensive study by The New York Times into Trump’s real estate holdings showed his companies owed at least $650 million to institutions including the Bank of China, one of the largest stateowned banks in the coun-

try against which he has threatened a trade war, and Goldman Sachs, the firm whose large speaking fees to Clinton he assailed. At a 2008 real estate conference, Donald Trump Jr. disclosed his father had substantial interests in Russia, whose leader and policies Trump praised, while indicating he would be friendlier than Clinton. “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets,” according to an account on eTurboNews’ website. Disclosure of financial holdings — and debt — from countries like China and Russia would seem at least as important as seeking meetings for contributors who include some foreign leaders. The American people deserve full disclosure from both: The State Department should speed its release of Clinton’s emails, and the Clintons should take steps to separate themselves from the foundation’s management now. Both should release detailed reports on their health. Trump should release his tax returns. And Clinton should expand her press interactions to include regular opportunities for questioning by her traveling press corps. Voters deserve nothing less. — Carl P.

Healthier choices To the editor: With the new school year starting, parents’ to-do lists are now filled with shopping for school clothes, school supplies and school food. That’s right, school food! In past years, our nation’s schools were used by the USDA as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities. It is neither a surprise nor coincidence that one-third of our children

have become overweight or obese. Such dietary mistakes at an early age become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Then came President Obama’s Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 requiring double the servings of fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, less sodium and fat, and no breakfast meat. The guidelines have wide public support. Most U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools including the entire school

districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia, and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. Some schools have dropped meat from their menu altogether. As parents, we need to involve our children and cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plant-based foods in our own schools. Going online and searching for “vegetarian options in schools” provides lots of good resources. Stewart Lubin, Lawrence

Fear, not excitement, drives supporters Candidates don’t motivate so much as terrifying alternative Susan Page @susanpage USA TODAY

Not even their own supporters are all that excited about winning. A nationwide USA TODAY/ Suffolk University Poll, taken as Labor Day launches the final sprint toward the election, finds supporters of Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump more motivated by fear about the other side claiming the White House than they are by excitement about their own candidate prevailing. Clinton holds a 7-percentage-

point lead over Trump, 48%-41%, close to the 6-point lead she held two months ago in the survey. The proportion of undecided voters is chipping away, below 10%. In a separate four-way ballot, support for third-party contenders ticked up, to 9% for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 4% for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Driving the election is antipathy toward the competition: 80% of Trump supporters and 62% of Clinton supporters say if the other candidate wins in November, they would feel “scared,” the most negative of four possible choices. Those are stronger feelings

than they express about a victory by their own candidate. Twentyseven percent of Clinton supporters and 29% of Trump supporters would feel “excited,” the most positive choice. A majority of both sides — 62% for Clinton and 52% for Trump — predict a more temperate “satisfied” feeling instead. “I honestly think she’ll be a good president, as flawed as she is,” says Carol Fisher, 56, a Clinton supporter and registered nurse from Teaneck, N.J., who was among those surveyed. “And I believe the alternative of a Trump presidency would be disastrous, not just for our country

but for the whole world.” Though she usually votes for Democratic candidates, she says, “I’ve never been so afraid of a Republican before.” Noel Hartman, 64, of Humboldt, Ariz., says he feels the same way about Clinton. “The one word that really stands out is ‘above the law,’ ” the

Hermine hulks up to hurricane, set to strike Florida Gulf Coast Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Hermine reached hurricane strength Thursday afternoon as it barreled toward the Gulf Coast of Florida, where it was likely to make landfall by early Friday. If it maintained hurricane strength, it would be the state’s first hit from a hurricane since Wilma on Oct. 24, 2005, a record storm-free streak of 3,965 days. “The most important thing we all must put in our minds is that this is life-threatening,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott said at the Florida Emergency Management Center. “We have not had a hurricane in years. People have moved here, and we have visitors.” As of late Thursday afternoon, Cedar Key, more than 100 miles north of Tampa, reported 3 feet of

floodwater from high tide and storm surge. Since Wilma hit Florida, the state’s population has risen by about 2 million people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Since 2010, the number of residents in

the state grew by 7.8%. That’s a huge chunk of new Floridians who have never endured a hurricane. Hermine is the fourth hurricane of the 2016 Atlantic season. As of 5 p.m. ET, Hermine was 85 miles south of Apalachicola, Fla., with winds of 75 mph. It moved to the north-northeast at 14 mph. A hurricane warning was in effect for the Big Bend area of Florida’s Gulf Coast. As of late Thursday, 500,000 Floridians were under a hurricane warning. Tornadoes could spin out of the system. Scott declared a state of emergency. A mandatory evacuation notice was issued for Franklin County along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico on the Florida Panhandle. Several schools announced closings on Thursday or Friday because of the storm. Shelters were open for evacuees.

Many of next year’s premium rate increases on the Affordable Care Act exchanges threaten to surpass the high and wildly fluctuating rates that characterized the individual insurance market before the health law took effect, interviews with insurance regulators and records show. After dramatic drops in insurance company participation on the exchanges for some states, decreased competition and other factors lead to often jarring rate hikes. Some of the states facing what are likely among the biggest increases this year — Tennessee, Arizona and North Carolina — were among those the Urban Institute reported in May had the biggest increases last year. “The reality is, it’s all very justified, unfortunately,” Iowa insurance commissioner Nick Gerhart said Thursday of the premium increases he approved of 19% to 43% for about 70,000 Iowans who buy their own policies. Gerhart warned consumers in a rate hearing in July that if he rejected insurers’ proposed premium increases for 2017, the carriers would probably decline to sell policies in the state. No carriers threatened to leave Iowa, but the implication was clear, he says: “It gives you less room to maneuver.” Iowa law, he said, requires him to judge proposed premium inv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Burkini ban: From shock to action Yusra Metwally @destntnunknown Special for USA TODAY

To people from all walks of life, regardless of their culture, religion or socioeconomic background, the beach is a sanctuary, a place to unwind from our busy lives, slow down and embrace the soothing sounds and sight of waves crashing on the shore. The beach is not a place you expect to see armed policemen surrounding a woman in a burkini, a full-body swimsuit often worn by Muslim women. It is absurd and deplorable. The spirit of a law that outlaws a woman’s choices flies in the face of so-called values that underpin France and the national motto of Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Courtesy of strong democratic institutions and a separation of powers between lawmakers and the judiciary, France’s highest administrative court ruled that “burkini bans” are a violation of fundamental liberties. In their ruling, three senior judges stated the glaringly obvious: The ban “has dealt a serious and clearly illegal blow to fundamental liberties such as the freedom of movement, freedom of conscience and personal liberty.” While the ruling has suspended the anti-burkini law in Ville-

Yusra Metwally wears a burkini while swimming laps at the North Sydney Olympic Pool. neuve-Loubet, several French mayors reportedly have maintained their bans. France’s burkini-ban saga takes me back to Egypt as a 9year-old, where I lived with my family. Egypt was under French rule from 1798-1801 under Napoleon Bonaparte’s campaign. I attended a private girl’s school where the French language was a compulsory subject. The school system in Egypt was advanced and dissimilar to the education system in Australia, where I grew up.

One day, I was looking forward to a delightful treat at the end: swimming. As I rushed to put on my special blue rash shirt with floral printed sleeves and my swimming shorts, while my classmates wore a swimsuit. To my shock and dismay, the teacher took a look at me and pointed at my classmates, telling me that I couldn’t swim in “those clothes.” I was dumbfounded. Yet, I didn’t have the confidence to argue against the stern teacher, nor did I have a strong enough

The splashes of water that came near my foot were as close to the water as I was going to get. I cried to my mother about the unfairness. The next day, we sat in the headmaster’s office as she argued my case and successfully disproved the “hygiene” argument by noting my swimwear is recommended for children in Australia because it provided adequate UV protection. Fast-forward to the 2016 Rio Olympics, I read the inspiring story of the Syrian swimmer Yusra Mardini, a member of the Refugee Olympic Team. After her family’s home was destroyed in the Syrian civil war, Mardini and her sister fled Syria. They were responsible for helping save the lives of 20 people after jumping off their sinking dinghy into the Aegean Sea and pushing their boat to land. I was so inspired by Yusra’s story, I felt a yearning to swim again. With the encouragement of a colleague, I signed up for the Can Too swimming program that raises funds for cancer. I decided to respond to the burkini ban with a Facebook call-to-action status urging women to join my swimming team. The name? “The Burkini Babes.” Metwally is a Sydney-based lawyer.

ARE THEY HONEST?

Most Americans doubt the integrity of both candidates. Fifty-nine percent say they don’t think Clinton is honest and trustworthy, including nearly one-fourth of her supporters. Sixty-one percent of those surveyed say they don’t think Trump is honest and trustworthy, including one-fifth of his supporters. Two controversies may contribute to those impressions: uNearly eight in 10 say Trump should release his tax returns, as every major-party presidential nominee has done since 1976. Two-thirds of those who back Trump say he should release them, at least for the years that are no longer being audited. Trump says he won’t release any returns until an IRS audit is concluded. uA 54% majority of those surveyed say Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, didn’t take appropriate steps to avoid conflicts of interest in donations to the Clinton Foundation. Thirty percent say she shouldn’t be criticized for the donations to the foundation. Newly released emails show foundation officials seeking meetings for big donors with Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of State. Nearly three in 10 of those who back Clinton say she didn’t take appropriate steps to avoid the controversy.

cans, more than eight in 10 say he’s a racist, and among Hispanics, more than six in 10 agree. A 54% majority of whites say he’s not. By wide margins, supporters of both candidates say third-party contenders who are certified on a majority of state ballots should be included in the fall debates. The non-partisan Commission on Presidential Debates sets a threshold of 15% support in national polls, a benchmark neither Johnson nor Stein meets. But 76% of those surveyed say they should be allowed to participate; 17% say they shouldn’t. The first debate is scheduled for Sept. 26 at Hofstra University on Long Island in New York. TIME AND OPPORTUNITY

There’s time and opportunity for the landscape to change. Still ahead are millions of dollars worth of TV ads and four debates, three between the presidential candidates and one between the vice presidential candidates, assuming they go ahead as planned. Unexpected developments, here or abroad, could seize the headlines. Intense media coverage and roiling controversies on issues from Clinton’s emails to Trump’s shifting stance on immigration have done little to move the electorate. Clinton’s unfavorable rating has inched down a point and a half since June; her favorable rat-

Unprecedented negative ratings for both candidates and fierce polarization between the two parties underscore the challenges ahead for the winner in November. “Whatever happened to morals and standards?” fumes Joe Thomas, 64, a Trump supporter from Trinity, N.C. “She’s not honest and trustworthy.” Is Trump? “Well, more than her,” he replies, adding that he believes the billionaire businessman would make “a great president.” Lori Sorenson, 34, a Clinton supporter and software trainer from Alexandria, Va., says the flap over the foundation doesn’t bother her “that much,” saying Clinton is faulted for practices many politicians follow. “I’ve never been a big fan of her,” Sorenson says. “But I’m definitely a bigger fan of her than him.” Americans are divided on whether Trump is a racist, a charge made by critics who cite his provocative rhetoric against Mexicans, Muslims and immigrants: 44% of those surveyed say they see him as a racist; 47% say he’s not. Among African Ameri-

ing hasn’t changed. Trump’s ratings have barely budged. Their negative ratings, 51% for Clinton and 59% for Trump, set unwelcome records for presidential candidates in the modern era. There’s a gender gap that rivals the record. Clinton leads among women by 54%-38% while the two contenders split men, 44% for Trump and 43% for Clinton. The 11-point difference in Clinton’s support between male and female voters precisely mirrors the record gender gap Bill Clinton scored over Bob Dole two decades ago. There is also a racial divide, despite recent speeches in which Trump sought the votes of African Americans. In the survey, more than nine of 10 black voters and two-thirds of Hispanic voters support Clinton. Trump is supported by a minuscule 4% of blacks and about one in four Hispanics. He leads Clinton among whites, 49% to 41%.

Merkel faces rebuke on refugees

A YEAR AGO, A PHOTO OPENED EYES

Syrian boy sparked debate but migrants’ flow has slowed since Kim Hjelmgaard @khjelmgaard USA TODAY

The lifeless body of a 3-yearold Syrian boy, still wearing his socks and sneakers, washed up on a Turkish beach one year ago Friday. Images of young Alan Kurdi spread around the world and galvanized global calls to address the plight of hundreds of thousands of refugees trying to reach Europe to escape war and persecution in the Middle East and Africa. Yet in the 12 months since then, Europe has gone to great lengths to repel the tide of refugees and other migrants — rather than welcome them. European countries responded to a populist backlash against migrants entering the continent by increasing border controls, tightening asylum rules and accelerating deportations. The well-trod Balkan land route was closed. The European Union and Turkey brokered a deal that significantly reduced the number of people making perilous journeys across the Aegean Sea to Greece and other European ports. That agreement, however, appears to be in jeopardy after a failed but destabilizing coup in Turkey and Ankara’s insistence on visa-free travel to the European bloc for its citizens. Germany, which took in more than 1 million migrants in 2015, is not as welcoming this year because of the rise of anti-immigration sentiment throughout the country. German Chancellor Angela Merkel continues to defend

“We need a comprehensive, multifaceted, long-term policy that puts saving lives and protecting people at the heart of this.” William Lacy Swing, International Organization for Migration

her welcoming refugee policy but has put limits on it. She said this week in a German television interview that suggestions by some Eastern European countries to refuse Muslim refugees is “unacceptable.” She also said the EU needed to find a more coherent strategy and to work with Turkey to make sure its refugee pact succeeds. The barriers have not deterred migrants from making the journey, even as some die trying to find a better life in Europe. The International Organization for Migration, a watchdog group, said 2,901 people drowned while crossing the Mediterranean Sea in the first six months of 2016 — a 37% increase from the same period last year. Most of those deaths occurred along the sea route off the Libyan coast, where smuggling is rife. The Italian coast guard said it has rescued nearly 7,000 migrants, most of them from Eritrea and Somalia, in dozens of rescue missions since Sunday. “We need a comprehensive, multifaceted, long-term policy that puts saving lives and protecting people at the heart of this, and that addresses the problem’s root causes,” said William Lacy Swing, the International Organization for Migration’s director general.

“Until we have that, people will continue to make these dangerous journeys. We now have unprecedented crises and humanitarian emergencies from the western bulge of Africa to well into Asia and Southeast Asia.” As a short-term measure, Swing wants to see greater use of legal visas to admit migrants. “There’s a whole range of elements: resettlement, families going to join other members of the family who are already in the U.S. or Europe. There’s work visas, student visas. There’s also something called ‘temporary protective status,’ ” he said. In Greece, which was the main landing point last year for refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, the flow of migrants has plummeted under an EU agreement with Turkey to send them back to that country. Greece’s migration minister, Yannis Mouzalas, said the migrant situation is not the burden it posed a year ago, as the number of people landing on islands such as Lesbos and Kos each day fell from about 7,000 last October to about 100 in August, a spike from just a few months ago. That was the route Alan Kurdi was taking when he drowned with his brother and mother.

A mural by artists Justus Becker and Oguz Sen depicts the drowned Syrian refugee boy Alan Kurdi in Frankfurt. The artists created the mural after vandals had destroyed a previous one.

BERLIN A right-wing, antiimmigrant party stands to make strong election gains Sunday in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s home state, a potential embarrassment for the German leader’s liberal refugee policy. The vote in the Baltic Sea region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania will test the resilience of Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union and other mainstream parties ahead of next year’s federal elections. Another gauge will be the Sept. 18 regional election in Berlin. The anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has been buoyed by dissatisfaction with Merkel’s decision last year to take in more than 1 million asylum seekers, mostly Muslims. “If we want to feel like we’re still in Germany, we need to send a stop signal,” AfD candidate Lars Loewe told a rally in Wismar. “The refugee issue has helped AfD a lot, and it reflects political alienation,” said Josef Janning with the Berlin office of the European Council on Foreign Relations. A poll by the political research Insa Institute shows AfD could win 23% in Sunday’s vote, while Merkel’s party would get 20%. When Merkel’s party is combined with its coalition partner, the left-leaning Social Democratic Party, which is polling at 28%, the result could be enough to retain power in the northeastern state. Merkel’s popularity rating has slumped to 45% since she opened Germany’s borders to asylum seekers, down from 75%.

The Minister of Interior, Pacome Moubelet Boubeya, said Thursday that as many as 800 people were arrested in the capital Libreville with hundreds of others arrested elsewhere across the equatorial nation of about 1.8 million people. Protesters had used grenades, and police had seized AK-47 assault rifles, africanews.com reported.

Pope Francis, advancing his year-long green agenda and again raising concern over climate change, proposed on Thursday that Christians add care for the environment to such traditional works of mercy as clothing the naked, feeding the hungry and

visiting the sick. “When we mistreat nature, we also mistreat human beings,” the pope said in a message marking the Catholic Church’s World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, which he instituted last year in a bid to highlight his ecological concerns. He said economics and politics, society and culture cannot be dominated by thinking only of the “short-term and immediate financial or electoral gains.” “Instead, they urgently need to be redirected to the common good, which includes sustainability and care for creation,” Francis said. — Doug Stanglin HINCKLEY TO BEGIN TO LIVE FULL-TIME IN VA.

At the time, Judge Paul L. Friedman had ruled Hinckley could leave the hospital as soon as Aug. 5. — The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY Unpopular President Enrique Peña Nieto endured a second day of withering attacks Thursday from critics who complained he failed to stand up to Donald Trump during their controversial get-together. Thursday’s newspaper headlines were unkind. “Trump uses EPN,” the Mexico City daily Reforma said, using the president’s initials. El Universal ran a softer headline: “After the visit, Peña sees the threat in Trump.” During their meeting Wednesday, Peña Nieto didn’t demand that Trump apologize for calling Mexican migrants rapists and criminals. He also stood silently at their joint news conference while the Republican presidential candidate repeated his promise to build a wall on the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Peña Nieto “had the last word,” Arturo Franco, senior non-resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, said Thursday. “There was every opportunity to correct Trump.” Franco said the meeting made the GOP candidate appear presidential. “A single decision in Mexico has so many potentially negative repercussions, not only in Mexico, but internationally,” he said. Jesús Silva-Herzog, a Mexican academic, was more blunt, calling the encounter the “biggest stupidity in the history of the Mexican presidency.” Peña Nieto sent out a series of tweets after the meeting, saying he told Trump that Mexico would not pay for the wall, and that the men talked about other topics. That didn’t appear to help Peña Nieto, who already was suffering from historically low popularity ratings — less than 25% — after a series of corruption scandals and revelations that he plagiarized parts of a thesis he wrote for his law degree.

“The lowest point of the most painful day in the history of the Mexican presidency.” Esteban Illades, editor of Nexos.

Hashtags calling on Peña Nieto to resign were trending on Twitter after he met with Trump. “The humiliation is now complete,” tweeted Carlos Loret de Mola, an anchor for Televisa. “Peña ended up pardoning Trump when no apology was asked for. The lowest point of the most painful day in the history of the Mexican presidency,” tweeted Esteban Illades, editor of the public affairs magazine Nexos. Gerardo Rodríguez, a professor of security studies, tweeted that he won’t be able to explain to his students why Peña Nieto even agreed to the meeting. After Trump’s visit to Mexico, the candidate reaffirmed his hard-line immigration policy in a speech Wednesday night in Phoenix. That address only deepened the resentment in Mexico — especially when he tweeted later that Mexico would pay for a wall. “After the Trump discourse in Arizona, is there someone that would want to continue defending the decision to invite him to Mexico?” tweeted Alejandro Hope, a security analyst in Mexico City. “Trump achieved his purpose: He can claim he was taken seriously by a foreign government,” said Carlos Bravo Regidor, professor in the journalism department of the Center for Investigation and Teaching in Economics in Mexico City. “He softens his image regarding Mexico without actually changing his stance.”

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Donald Trump shake hands after a meeting in Mexico City on Wednesday.

AS IT AUTOMATES, WALMART PLANS TO CUT 7,000 JOBS Walmart plans to shed about 7,000 accounting and invoicing positions as the company moves to automate those processes, though workers will be offered positions elsewhere in their stores, the company confirmed Thursday. The plans affect fewer than 1% of its U.S. workforce of 1.5 million employees. The company tested automation at about 500 of its nearly 4,600 stores this summer. Walmart shares closed up 2% to $72.84.

Megan Hook gives a makeover to Nicole Rappaport in the campus bookstore at the College of William & Mary. Macy’s also are implementing plans that include a heavy emphasis on beauty merchandise. Since acquiring makeup and skincare retailer Bluemercury last year, Macy’s will end 2016 with 22 versions of the shop within its department stores in addition to opening 24 stand-alone stores this year.

Sales of prestige beauty — a category that doesn’t include sales at food and drug stores — grew more last year than any other of the 21 categories NPD tracks, at 7.3% to hit $16 billion. Interest in cosmetics has boomed in proportion to the number of beauty bloggers, YouTube personalities and social media stars dedicated to showing women — and men — how to groom themselves and pull off specific looks. The advent of the

Facebook is adding a new feature to Messenger: the ability to share video with friends while conversing with them in the popular messaging app. Instant Video is the latest in a series of efforts from the Internet giant to keep up with the fleetfooted Snapchat and with the changing habits of younger users. Starting Thursday, you can tap the video icon to begin sharing real-time video. Like Snapchat, you can share a live video stream inside the text chat. The video will float over the conversation in Messenger. Your friend can watch the video and share a video with you. “It’s perfect for sharing quick moments with friends who aren’t right by your side or making your conversations richer by seeing each other face-to-face when you are messaging,” according to a blog post from Facebook Messenger. Video has become an essential part of life with more people than ever carrying around a video camera and an Internet connection in their pocket. In recent months, video has taken on growing importance at Facebook, where 1.71 billion users of the giant social network are being encouraged to create and share live video in the news feed. SAN FRANCISCO

selfie, reality television and Instagram has only perpetuated the trend of obsessing over appearance. “I really do believe makeup now is more popular than ever,” says Sana Cordeaux, director of strategy and operations for Veluxe, an on-demand beauty service app that lets customers summon makeup artists and hair stylists to their homes. Cordeaux and Veluxe founder Susanna Quinn both attribute the trend to an overwhelming Internet influence. “Most women wear some makeup,” Quinn says, adding that there’s “so much ability for them to get online instruction. When I was younger, we read Seventeen magazine. So it was once a month I got a couple of makeup tips. (Now) it’s just constantly available.” More store spaces could soon be dedicated to a mix of looks and books. For the moment, outposts at William & Mary, Emory University, University of California Riverside, Tulane University and Southern Methodist University represent just a fraction of the 751 campus bookstores Barnes & Noble College operates. The Glossary was installed to expand the bookstore’s appeal. The store is also featuring highend, youthful brands such as Butter London, Bliss and Lipstick Queen. “We didn’t want to have all the students looking and coming into the bookstore with a preconceived notion of what they would find,” says Joel Friedman, chief merchandising officer for Barnes & Noble College.

FACEBOOK MESSENGER

Instant Video lets you send real-time video to friends while chatting on Facebook Messenger.

Messenger, too, is adding features to adjust to fundamental changes in how young people interact on digital media. The popular messaging app, which topped 1 billion users over the summer, added video calling last April. At Facebook’s F8 developer conference in April, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in 10 years “video will look like as big of a shift in the way we all share and communicate as mobile has been.” Snapchat caught the wave early on, putting a camera on the first screen of its app to encourage users to share what they are doing or seeing. Today, users are watching 10 billion videos a day on Snapchat, rivaling Facebook. More than a third of Snapchat’s 150 million daily users create their own “Stories” out of photos and videos from their lives.

Auto sales catch a chill in hot, steamy August May have reached ‘plateau’ as sales sink 4.2% industrywide Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

U.S. auto sales cooled off in August amid signs that the industry may not break last year’s all-time record despite a strong first half of the year. Plummeting car sales offset surging sales of crossovers, sportutility vehicles and pickup trucks — a paradigm that’s just fine for the industry because it generally equates to higher profits. Industry vehicle sales fell 4.2%

in August, compared with a year earlier, for an annualized rate of 16.98 million vehicles, according to Autodata. Analysts at Edmunds.com and Kelley Blue Book had projected an overall auto industry sales decline of 2.5% and 2.1%, respectively. The auto industry has been hovering near 2015’s record pace of 17.5 million vehicles, fueled by strong employment, low gasoline prices and a solid housing market. AutoTrader.com analyst Michelle Krebs said it “looks less likely that we will hit that record,” barring a surge in discounts. “We think sales have reached a plateau, and at that plateau we’ll see some month-to-month volatility,” Ford senior economist Bryan Bezold said.

AUGUST SALES LEADERS Top auto sellers in August, with U.S. sales, change from month in 2015 and market share last month: Sales Chg.

U.S. automakers posted an uneven performance. General Motors’ U.S. sales fell 5.2%, and Ford

Motor’s sales declined 8.8%, while Fiat Chrysler recorded a 2.4% sales increase. GM’s sales totaled 256,429, with its flagship Chevrolet brand slipping 3.9% to 175,965 units. Ford’s luxury Lincoln brand was a bright spot for the automaker, posting a 7% increase to 9,243 vehicles sold. But Lincoln makes up a fraction of Ford’s overall sales, which totaled 213,411 for the month. For Fiat Chrysler, which sold 196,756 vehicles overall, Jeep continued to lead the way. The SUV brand posted an 11.9% increase to 86,468, nearly double the company’s next best-selling brand. The three major Japanese automakers recorded sales de-

clines in August, including steep drops in car sales as consumers abandoned the segment. Toyota, Nissan and Honda sales fell 5%, 6.5% and 3.8%, respectively. Car sales plunged 12.5% at Toyota, 11% at Honda and 24.6% at Nissan. Japanese automaker Subaru continued to outperform the industry, recording a sales increase of 14.7% to 60,418 vehicles. Despite encountering a plateau, profitability remains strong for the industry. With gas prices at a national average of $2.22 per gallon on Thursday morning, according to GasBuddy.com, highly profitable pickup trucks, crossovers and sport-utility vehicles are flying off dealership lots. Cars, meanwhile, are slumping.

Q: Will electric-car maker run out of cash? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Tesla (TSLA), the pioneering electric-car maker, is long on ambition but apparently short on cash. Liquidity is a top consideration for investors in this company going forward. The company put investors on alert by pointing out its nearterm cash situation requires adjustment. Tesla late Wednesday reported it has $422 million in debt coming due that it plans to pay during the third quarter of the year. This debt situation and the company’s

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

combination with founder Elon Musk’s other company, SolarCity (SCTY), makes refinancing necessary. Tesla continues to burn cash, and adding SolarCity to its operations accelerates that. Tesla burned $332.5 million from operations during the past 12 months and consumed $1.3 billion in capital expenditures. That’s an aggressive cash burn for a company with $3.2 billion in cash and short-term investments. Meanwhile, SolarCity tore through $2.8 billion in free cash flow during the past 12 months, a startling amount considering the company has $145.7 million in cash. Refinancing can shore up the cash situation in the shortterm, but the combined company will need to start generating cash soon.

Apple (AAPL) was the most-traded stock among all SigFig investor groups in mid-August.

Factory activity shrinks for 1st time since Feb. Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

Factory activity contracted in August for the first time in six months as manufacturers continued to grapple with a sluggish global economy and the oil industry’s downturn. The unexpected decline raises questions about the industry’s recovery and the health of the economy. It also casts doubt on the growing theory that Federal Reserve officials will raise interest

rates when they meet later this month. A closely-watched index of manufacturing activity dipped to 49.4 from 52.6 in July, the Institute for Supply Management said Thursday. A reading above 50 indicates the sector is expanding, while below 50 means contraction. Economists expected a more modest decline to 52. The report marks the industry’s first contraction following five straight months of expansion. The growth came after a string of declines in late 2015 and early this year. China’s slowing econo-

dollar that makes U.S. shipments more expensive overseas. And plummeting oil prices discouraged drilling activity and orders for steel and other products. This year, oil prices have mounted a partial comeback, and the dollar generally has weakened, helping factories stabilize. The relapse to shrinking activity in August raises some doubts about the recovery. “The data from this report indicate that the U.S. manufacturing sector remains in an extended period of stagnation following a modest improvement in recent

months,” Michael Gapen, Barclays’ chief U.S. economist, wrote in a note to clients. But he added that the pickup in economic growth that his firm expects in the second half of the year depends little on manufacturing. Economist Jim O’Sullivan of High Frequency Economics says the report increases the likelihood that the Fed will hold off on raising interest rates for now. The Fed has held its key rate steady since lifting it in December for the first time in nine years.

New stained glass business opens Plus, one of city’s largest construction companies has new owner

know you have long been thinking it: North Lawrence’s genteel nature makes it the perfect candidate to become Lawrence’s Stained Glass Capital. Well, a local entrepreneur is working to make that happen. Oz Art Glass has opened at 626 N. Second St. and hopes to begin introducing more Lawrence residents to the art and craft of making stained glass.

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

“It is a satisfying creative outlet, it is a nice hobby, and the best part is it looks so pretty in the window,” said Dorothy Hoyt-Reed, owner, operator and chief instructor for Oz Art Glass. Hoyt-Reed is offering a couple of classes for people wanting to learn how to make stained glass creations. One is a singlesession introductory course that makes use of a stained glass kit that includes all

DOROTHY HOYT-REED SOLDERS a stained glass piece at her North Lawrence store, Oz Art Glass, 626 N. Second St. the pieces cut to size. The other class is a seven-week series that teaches students how to make a piece from scratch. “Cutting the glass and grinding the glass is probably what takes the longest,” Hoyt-Reed said. “Designing the pattern is a big part of it too.” Soldering, which is how the glass pieces often are joined together, also can

be an art form in itself. (My best known soldering piece of art is called “Drips,” and it features many copper water pipes in my basement ceiling.) Hoyt-Reed’s classes teach soldering techniques, in addition to the fancier form of stained glass work known as the Tiffany technique, which involves using copper banding to join glass together.

The store also plans on a large part of its business coming from the sale of stained glass supplies. That includes the colored glass itself, the solder, flux, brushes, polishes and the various chemicals that can be used to give the glass different tints or patinas. Hoyt-Reed said stained glass supplies are something most art supply stores in Lawrence don’t carry.

Hoyt-Reed, a retired middle school teacher who started learning stained glass in retirement, said a lack of places to buy supplies was a driving factor to start the business. Then she decided offering classes would be a way to get more people exposed to the craft. “A class is a cheap way to find out whether it is

Buying a home with subpar credit? Try these strategies By Natalie Campisi Associated Press

Buying a home is an exciting process that takes time, research and money. And for people who need a mortgage, it also usually requires a good credit score. If your credit history is less than what most lenders deem acceptable for a home loan, then it’s time to explore your options. Although rebuilding your credit is one way to improve your chances of qualifying for a mortgage, it can be a lengthy process. Some folks might want to own a home sooner — because of attractive real estate prices or a low annual interest rate — than it might take to boost their credit score. Even if you don’t have time to make a helpful boost to your credit score, there are still things you can do to help yourself get a mortgage. Here’s a list of alternative strategies to help you figure out how to buy a house when you don’t meet certain requirements.

Increase qualifying income When underwriters look at income, they take a pretty conservative stance. For example, income from your part-time job might not be considered unless

forgiving guidelines than others when it comes to income. VA loans, for example, calculate income two ways — the standard debt-to-income method and the “residual income” method, which is much more generous. For people with lower incomes, a worthwhile option to look into is Freddie Mac’s Home Possible program. To qualify, the borrower must have a yearly income that’s either equivalent to or less than the area median income for the census tract where the property is located. The only exception to this rule is if the property is in a designated underserved area or high-cost area. The Home Possible rules state that if the property is in a high-cost area, the annual income can exceed the area median income, within certain limits. Likewise, if the property is in an underserved area, AMI requirements don’t apply at all. Credit might be another option for people who have a history of paying their bills on time, even if they experienced a period of financial hardship. FHA loan qualifications state that these candidates might still be able to qualify for a loan, Choose a different mortgage regardless of isolated cases of Some mortgages have more late or slow payments.

you have a history of working more than one job. Rental income might take a 25 percent cut right off the top of your income, and if you deduct business expenses that have yet to be reimbursed on a Schedule 2106, your lender will probably also deduct them from your qualifying income. However, sometimes the rules work in your favor. As required by the Equal Opportunity Act Amendments of 1976, income that the borrower receives from public assistance programs might be used to qualify for a loan if it can be determined that the income will probably continue for three years or more. This can be helpful in boosting total income. Here are other sources of income that you might not have considered: l Alimony or child support l Capital gains income l Disability income l Employment offers or contracts l Retirement, government annuity and pension income l Social Security income l Temporary leave income l Tip income l Unemployment benefits l VA benefits income

Johnson also will serve as a consultant for the company for the next couple of years. Johnson said all 90 employees were kept as part of the sale. He also said the general nature of the work will remain the same. Hamm Companies often works on very large projects — rebuilding the Kansas Turnpike or major interchange projects throughout the state, for example. R.D. Johnson will

Bring in a co-borrower There’s always the option of bringing in a co-borrower. Extra income allows you to qualify for a bigger mortgage. Coborrowers can be occupants or non-occupants. An occupying co-borrower lives in the home with you. A non-occupant coborrower is more like a cosigner; this person doesn’t live in the house but is responsible for the payments. Lenders are more likely to put restrictions on non-occupant co-borrower loans, such as requiring a higher down payment. Government loans come with fewer restrictions.

mortgage is that people with poor credit don’t have to wait as long to own a home. They can repair their credit by paying their mortgage each month, rather than waiting years to repair their credit and then buy a home. The obvious disadvantage, besides higher rates, is that closing costs and fees associated with home loans will usually be higher for subprime borrowers. Although credit score requirements aren’t as stringent for subprime loans, borrowers must still show proof that they can afford the mortgage payments each month.

Get a subprime mortgage The term “subprime mortgage” often has a negative connotation because of the housing bubble and financial crisis it’s often associated with; however, subprime mortgages can actually be a gateway to homeownership for some people. Basically, a subprime mortgage is a home loan with higher interest rates than a prime mortgage. The higher interest rates are in place to offset the risk of loan default by subprime mortgage borrowers who are risky customers because of poor credit. The benefit of this kind of

Strengthen your application It might surprise you to know that income is actually one of the less important underwriting criteria. If you don’t believe it, try calling a few lenders. Tell them you make $1 million a year but have a 500 FICO score and only 5 percent to put down. You won’t get far. You can build a stronger application by including compensating factors such as: l History of a low use of debt l Proof of regular saving habit l Showing that the home you intend to buy is energy-efficient l Holding a job with excellent prospects

continue to focus on smaller scale street projects, site preparation work, utility projects and other such contracts. “They wanted a company to do the smaller stuff in the area while they do the great big stuff,” Johnson said. As for why Johnson decided to sell the company, he said he is 66 years old and believed it was time to start moving away from the business world. But it won’t be a full-scale retirement for the Lawrence native. Johnson has been active in developing residential neighborhoods around the community, including a new one near 23rd

and O’Connell and the Oregon Trail addition near Rock Chalk Park. He said he plans to continue with some real estate development work. But the sale does close a chapter on a start-from-scratch business story. Johnson started the excavation company in 1981, and it was significantly smaller than the 90-employee, multimillion venture it is today. “I started out by myself and with no money,” Johnson said. “I had a backhoe and a trencher.”

Kansas defense: Tackling leaders irrelevant By Benton Smith

Big 12 finalizes conference schedule By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When the Kansas men’s basketball team opens Big 12 play Dec. 30 at TCU, the Jayhawks will be experiencing two firsts. For starters, the late-December conference opener will mark the first time in Big 12 history that the con-

ference schedule will open in December. KU coach Bill Self on Thursday told The JournalWorld that the schedule had to be pushed back into December to make room for the SEC/Big 12 Challenge in late January. Although Self said he and the rest of the conference coaches enjoy the

challenge — KU will play at Kentucky on Jan. 28 — they don’t necessarily love what it does to the conference schedule. “It matters to me and it matters to the other coaches,” Self told the JournalWorld. “But by the way the schedule falls, we had absolutely no other option. I don’t think anybody likes

it, but at least this year and next we’ll have to deal with it.” A season ago, KU opened Big 12 play on Jan. 2, the earliest in recent memory. None of the conference openers prior to that, dating back to the 2007-08 season, came before Jan. 4 and most

> HOOPS, 3D Self

basmith@ljworld.com

On a number of occasions over the past couple of months when head coach David Beaty got on the subject of his Kansas football team’s defense, he mentioned in a somewhat joking fashion he wouldn’t want Fish Smithson leading the team in tackles again. In the race to surpass KU’s senior safety in that category during the months ahead, the most likely candidates play linebacker. While Smithson’s 111 total tackles topped the unit a year ago, Joe Dineen (86) and Marcquis Roberts (71) often contributed to stops, as well. As Kansas defensive coordinator Clint Bowen prepared for the season, however, he didn’t waste much time thinking about who will rack up Dineen the most tackles. In fact, asked if he wanted to see more production from his linebackers this fall, Bowen Roberts balked at the notion. “In this day and age it’s so open a lot of times the offense can dictate who’s gonna make some tackles, you know,” Bowen said. “They’ve got something to say about it. But our linebackers are capable guys. We’ve got some guys at the front (on the defensive line) and I think the tackles kind of come as they’re supposed to.” Along with senior Roberts and junior Dineen, Bowen said senior Courtney Arnick, sophomore Osaze Ogbebor, freshman Maciah Long and sophomore Keith Loneker Jr. will get some reps at linebacker Saturday, in KU’s season opener against Rhode Island (6 p.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium). Dineen said all of KU’s linebackers should benefit as play-makers thanks to the enhancements made by the defensive linemen in front of them during the offseason. He called the D-line the most improved unit on the team. The junior linebacker cited sophomore tackles Daniel Wise and D.J. Williams, junior tackle Isi Holani and sophomore end Dorance Armstrong Jr. as players who have upgraded their skill sets since last season. “All those guys, Olobia (Anthony, a senior end), are stepping up huge and they’re making a lot of plays — a lot of plays,” Dineen said. “I’m excited to see what they do on Saturday.”

Receiving options aplenty First-year KU receivers coach Jason Phillips, too, has players he’s eager to watch versus URI. After citing the talent and locker room presence provided by junior LaQuvionte Gonzalez, a junior transfer from Texas A&M, Phillips added he looks forward to the sophomore debut of Steven Sims Jr., who caught 30 passes for 349 yards as a true freshman. “I just want to see if his

In their home opener Thursday, there were times when Lawrence High’s volleyball players looked unstoppable and other times when they struggled in long stretches. But when the Lions need-

‘Big-time test’ awaits Firebirds in first game By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

For the third straight year, Free State High’s football team will open the season against Shawnee Mission West. Both of the previous games between the two schools were decided by a touchdown, but the Firebirds are excited to face strong competition when they begin the season at 7 p.m. at FSHS.

The Vikings (ranked No. 5 in Class 6A by Kpreps.com) return about 15 starters from last season, one of the most experienced rosters in the Sunflower League. “Our guys are ready to play as I’m sure Shawnee Mission West and everyone else is ready to play,” Free State coach Bob Lisher said. “We need a test to see where we’re at. Obviously this is a big-time test.”

U.S. qualifier advances to 3rd round of Open American qualifier Jared Donaldson has won the first two Grand Slam matches of his career to advance to the third round of the U.S. Open. The 19-year-old Donaldson, who is currently ranked No. 122, defeated Viktor Troicki 7-5, 6-3, 6-3 on Thursday, following up on his 4-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-0 upset of David Goffin in the first round. Donaldson has lost in the first round of the U.S. Open in each of the past two years and failed to qualify for any other major. He says he not satisfied with his success so far, reminding reporters, “I’m still 120 in the world. I want to be top 10, top 5, No. 1.”

Chiefs trip Packers Lions in preseason finale

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Packers coach Mike McCarthy got everything he wanted out of the preseason. Two series for Aaron Rodgers and a bunch of work for his backups. That includes rookie Joe Callahan, who capped a strong preseason by throwing for 143 yards and a touchdown as the Packers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 17-7, in their preseason finale Thursday night. “I thought it was a quality training camp. I thought like we accomplished a lot,” said McCarthy, who like Chiefs counterpart Andy Reid played almost entirely backups on Thursday night. Callahan played almost the entire way in a game featuring secondand third-teamers on both sides. The product of Division III Wesley College has been trying to earn the No. 3 job behind Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley, who has been sidelined by an ankle injury this preseason. “You try not to think about things too much,” Callahan said of making the team. “When it’s out of your hands it’s always hard. But I’ve been confident since I’ve been here.” In fact, the only firststringers to see much of the field were specialists.

came during the second week of January. In addition to starting in December, KU’s Big 12 opener will be the first conference game for new TCU coach Jamie Dixon, the longtime Pitt coach who took over for Trent Johnson in the offseason. Self said he was looking forward to the match-up with Dixon to kick off the conference slate. “Jamie’s a good coach and a good guy and he’ll have everybody excited about it,” Self said. “Playing right there in December will be a great promotional game in some way, shape or form and will give TCU the best homecourt advantage they can have. Usually the conference opener generates more enthusiasm and the players are jacked, but I think it’ll be the same for our guys, too.” Other highlights of KU’s Big 12 schedule, which was released by the conference office

Lions fought back from a four-point deficit at 23-19 to win the first set with key kills by Mask and junior setter Laurel Bird, who slipped a dump shot past Ottawa’s blockers. Lawrence trailed by as many as 12 points in the second set before finding a way to win a back-andforth third set. Unruh had 12 kills in the match, followed by Dunlap (10 kills), Mask (9) and senior Abby Percich (5), set up on passes from setters Bird and Laura Willoughby. Senior Lexi Anglin added five blocks. “I feel like sometimes they’d get a few points and we’d let up,” Unruh said. “Then we would realize that we needed to pick ourselves up and we’d come back and fight.” Perhaps the best way to describe the Lions’ upand-down play was their match against Basehor-

They needed some practice, too. After the Chiefs’ third straight three-and-out in the first quarter, Dustin Colquitt’s punt was blocked by Green Bay wide receiver Ty Montgomery. Kansas City running back Knile Davis, who could be traded by the weekend, ran 15 times for 58 yards and a touchdown.

on Thursday, include the Jayhawks being featured in four Big Monday games on ESPN for the 11th consecutive season — at Iowa State on Jan. 15; at Kansas State on Feb. 6; vs. West Virginia on Feb. 13; and vs. Oklahoma on Feb. 27. Self said the continued exposure of being on one of ESPN’s main college basketball draws was great for the program, but added that KU was fortunate to get that same kind of exposure throughout the year. “I look at our schedule and our last 22 regular-season games are on ESPN, ESPN2 or CBS,” Self said. “Big Monday is great and we love playing on Big Monday, but I don’t know if you can get a lot more exposure than having your final 22 games on those three networks. And that doesn’t even count any of our postseason. “So we love Big Monday, but we’d be just as happy playing on Tuesday or Wednesday as long as it was on those networks, as well.”

Behind junior quarterback Dante’ Jackson, his first time playing the position, the Lions are confident that their offense will look different but produce similar results from past seasons. Wedd said the Lions were still learning a lot about ins and outs of the offense during practice this week, but the goal is just to keep mistakes to a minimum. The Lions will feature a rebuilt offensive line with only senior Jesse Tunget returning

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

With some injuries that forced multiple players into varsity roles last year, the Firebirds return a lot of experience, especially on defense with seniors Noah Kema, Jay Dineen, Zack Sanders, Zion Bowlin, Daniel Bryant, Sam Hambleton and Drew Wise. “It should be a challenge on both sides offensively to move the ball,” Lisher said.

from a starting role last year. “Honestly, from Sunday night,” Jackson said, “it just hit me, ‘It’s game week. It’s my junior year. I have to show something this year, show up for my team and make sure we win some games this year.’” Senior defensive end Jacob Unruh added: “I think we’re going to go out there and play pretty hard, but I mean, I don’t know what to expect yet because we haven’t played a real game. But I’m very excited to see what happens.” With the platooning system, the Lions won’t feature a group of players

commitment pays off,” Phillips said of Sims’ offseason work, “because he’s definitely committed himself to getting better.” With Gonzalez, Sims, sophomore Jeremiah Booker, and upperclassmen such as junior Bobby Hartzog Jr. and seniors Austin Moses and Shakiem Barbel involved at receiver, Phillips said it’s a mature group, so he doesn’t think many will have a problem playing under the Memorial Stadium lights. “Obviously there’s a couple of freshmen that may get an opportunity to play, and you kind of look to see how big their eyes get,” Phillips added. “But obviously the rest of these guys have been there and done that. I’m sure they’re anxious to get back into it.” With sophomores Emmanuel Moore and Tyler Patrick (not to mention KU’s freshman receivers) in the mix, too, Phillips has sufficient options. So just how many from his position room will play against the Rams? “All of them, hopefully,” Phillips replied, laughing. “I tell those guys: All of them will play. Now whether they play offensively or special teams is yet to be determined. But I expect all

of those guys to contribute this weekend.”

Willis far from ‘finished product’ KU, of course, enters its season debut without having named a starting quarterback. Beaty said that wouldn’t be the case if sophomore Ryan Willis had progressed ahead of schedule and left the developmental stages of his college career. “Oh, yeah, he’s a baby,” the coach said. “He played a few games last year. He got knocked around a little bit. He is by no means a finished product at all. If he was, he would be named the starting quarterback. And he’s not. We don’t have a starter yet. We didn’t have that separation.” Beaty would only reveal this week that Willis, redshirt junior Montell Cozart and redshirt freshman Carter Stanley were in the mix to become KU’s first-string QB. “So the good news is, there is not a hair’s separation from them statistically in fall camp,” Beaty said. “I mean, that’s what makes it extremely difficult is their production was very, very similar. And, you know, hey, both those guys, they know that it’s gonna come down to this week to see who goes in first, and then they may not be in there long and the other guy comes in there. We’ll see.”

SCOREBOARD

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Braves sweep Padres The Associated Press

National League Braves 9, Padres 6 Atlanta — In a largely forgettable season, Atlanta finally has reason to gloat a bit. The team swept a three-game series at Turner Field for the first time this year. And, get this: They’ve scored at least seven runs in five straight home games — the first time that’s happened since 1953. Freddie Freeman homered and Atlanta broke the game open with a five-run fifth inning, beating San Diego Thursday. One day after Minnesota dipped below Atlanta to the worst record in the majors, the Braves kept on winning behind a six solid innings from Mike Foltynewicz (8-5) and another strong showing from the offense. It was the first time they’ve had five consecutive home games with at least seven runs since Aug. 7-10, 1953, the team’s debut season in Milwaukee.

Marlins 6, Mets 4 New York — Christian Yelich showed off his bat, legs and glove, capped by hitting a three-run homer

that helped Miami beat shaky Jacob deGrom and New York to end their season-worst five-game losing streak. Yelich homered and singled twice, drove in four runs and stole two bases. He also made a dashing, diving catch in center field with the bases loaded and two outs — that made up for him later dropping a routine fly for an error.

Cubs 5, Giants 4 Chicago — Addison Russell hit a two-run single with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, and Chicago beat San Francisco. The Cubs spoiled a shaky Jeff Samardzija’s return to Wrigley Field and started September on a winning note after going 22-6 to match the 1932 team for the best August in franchise history. The major league leaders also moved a seasonhigh 39 games over .500 and a jaw-dropping 15 1/2 games ahead of St. Louis in the NL Central — their largest lead in the standings since the 1907 team finished 17 games ahead of Pittsburgh, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Russell’s bloop single

off Cory Gearrin gave the Cubs a 5-4 lead. Dexter Fowler had two singles and scored two runs.

NFL PRESEASON

Brady plays 1st half vs. Giants in tuneup for ‘Deflategate’ suspension The Associated Press

Giants 17, Patriots 9 East Rutherford, N.J. — See you again in five weeks, Tom Brady. With a four-game suspension for his role in the “Deflategate” scandal beginning in just a few days, Brady had an NFL going-away party Thursday night, playing the first half in New England’s preseason finale against New York. Brady completed 16 of 26 passes for 166 yards, a touchdown and an interception as the Patriots (3-1) missed out a perfect preseason in a 17-9 loss to the Giants (2-2). Brady showed flashes in his second preseason game of the season. He completed five passes between 16 and 38 yards, but only one drive resulted in a score, a 7-yard TD toss to Keshawn Martin. Two others, including one in the red zone, were ended by lost fumbles. His sixth and final series was a knee at the half. The two-time NFL MVP begins a four-game suspension Saturday for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the 2014 AFC championship game. He won’t be eligible to rejoin the active roster until Oct. 3, leaving the team in the hands of Jimmy Garoppolo. New England opens the season on Sept. 11 at

season-opening roster with a 58-yard touchdown run and Jake Rudock boosted his chances with three touchdown passes, helping the team close the preseason with a 31-0 win over Buffalo.

Panthers 18, Steelers 6 Charlotte, N.C. — Running back Cameron Artis-Payne made a case for more playing time, rushing for 77 yards on 18 carries, and Graham Gano kicked six field goals as Carolina defeated Pittsburgh in the final preseason game for both teams. Bears 21, Browns 7 Cleveland — With the Bill Kostroun/AP photo season opener against NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK TOM BRADY (12) throws a pass before a preseason NFL Philadelphia 10 days game against the New York Giants Thursday in East Rutherford, N.J. away, Cleveland played its offensive starters the entire first quarter, but Arizona.

Dallas unscathed despite getting slammed on his back while scrambling late in the third quarter. The third-year quarterback popped back up after a play that unfolded not far from where he sustained a seasonending shoulder injury on the same field in the same game a year ago. Already chosen as the backup to Brock Osweiler, Savage converted a pair of fourth downs for touchdowns — both to running back Akeem Hunt on a run and a pass — and Houston beat Dallas.

Colts 13, Bengals 10 Cincinnati — Stephen Morris’ 25-yard touchdown pass to undrafted rookie Tevaun Smith with 40 seconds left gave Indianapolis a preseason victory over Cincinnati with both teams’ starters watching from the sidelines. The Colts (2-2) and Bengals (1-3) rested their starters, hoping to avoid injuries, but Indianapolis lost another player at a hard-hit position. Ravens 23, Saints 14 New Orleans — Baltimore’s Josh Johnson passed for 181 yards and rushed for a short touchdown, and the team defeated New Orleans in both clubs’ preseason finale.
