Judge strikes down lawmakers’ court rule By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — A Kansas judge Wednesday struck down an administrative change legislators imposed on the state’s courts, a ruling the attorney general said could jeopardize the judicial branch’s entire budget. Shawnee County Dis-

trict Judge Larry Hendricks declared unconstitutional a 2014 law changing how chief judges in the state’s 31 judicial districts are selected. Hendricks said the law interfered with the power granted by the state constitution to the Kansas Supreme Court to administer the courts. But Hendricks didn’t

Kansas attorney general says funding in jeopardy address another law enacted earlier this year by the Republican-dominated Legislature. The law said that if the administrative policy were invalidated, the court system’s funding through June 2017 was “null and void.” The law has the judges

in each judicial district pick their chief judges, taking the power to select them away from the Supreme Court. District Judge Larry Solomon of Kingman County, chief judge in the 30th District of south-central Kansas since 1991, filed a lawsuit

against the change. Critics considered the change an attack on the courts’ independence by Republican legislators and GOP Gov. Sam Brownback, particularly when they tied preserving

Kobach is criticized on voting rights ——

Kansas voices join national opposition; proponents say proposal would reduce costs

READY TO ROCK CHALK

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Voting rights advocates spoke out Wednesday against a proposal by Secretary of State Kris Kobach to enact new regulations that would allow the state to purge more than 36,000 voter registration applications currently being held in suspense, most for failure to show proof of U.S. citizenship. The law requiring proof of citizenship for new voters to register took effect in Kobach January 2013. Kobach has argued the proposed regulation is necessary to relieve county election officials of the job of continuing to try to contact voters who have not yet completed their applications.

Independent assessment won’t focus specifically on Kobach building case By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Douglas County commissioners unanimously agreed Wednesday to seek out a consultant to conduct a third-party review of the county’s building codes department. Two months ago, commissioners said they wanted an outside consultant to inspect the department, in part because of a recent controversy over whether Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was granted COUNTY too many exemptions from the COMMISSION county’s building codes with his building project in rural Douglas County. The upcoming third-party review will not specifically inspect the Kobach case, County Commissioner Nancy Thellman said. Rather, it will examine the department

“

How dare these people so recklessly govern Kansas?” — Pedro Irigonegaray, plaintiff’s attorney

the policy to the budget. Pedro Irigonegaray, a Topeka attorney representing Solomon, said another lawsuit will be filed soon against this year’s law, to preserve the judiciary’s funding. “How dare these people so recklessly govern Kansas?” Irigonegaray said, adding that supporters of the administrative policy created “an unnecessary constitutional crisis.” Attorney General Derek Schmidt said he would ask Hendricks on Thursday to put his decision on hold to avoid jeopardizing the court system’s funding. Schmidt said in a statement that the decision “could effectively and immediately shut off all funding for the judicial branch.” But state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican and an architect of the policy change, said he doubts the courts’ funding truly is in jeopardy because there are “numerous opportunities” for appealing Hendricks’ ruling. The legal dispute has been charged because conservative Republicans have long criticized the Supreme Court over rulings on abortion, capital punishment and education funding. Four of the seven justices were appointed by former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Brownback has proposed giving governors and lawmakers more control over how justices are selected. Legislators who supported the administrative policy change said some district court judges wanted a say in decisions about who leads them. King also has said many lawmakers wouldn’t have supported increased spending on the courts without changes aimed at providing more local control. The court system’s total budget is set to increase by a total of 7.5 percent over the next two years, or by nearly $10 million, to more than $138 million. “Kansas has a rich, deep history of promoting local control,” King said. “This opinion (from Hendricks) strikes at the heart of allowing the officials closest to the people to make the decisions.” Hendricks said for the Supreme Court, the chief district court judges represent “one of the principal instruments” for exercising authority and stripping the high court of the power to select them “hamstrings” it. “The Legislature has taken that power away from the Kansas Supreme Court and, thus, exerted itself over a fundamental component of the Judiciary,” Hendricks wrote.

as a whole in an attempt to determine a set of best practices and identify any areas or policies that have room for improvement. “It’s not so narrowly focused,” she explained. “It’s a more comprehensive review.” Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky said it’s not uncommon for governmental bodies to conduct reviews of their services. She said some of the review’s findings may address issues raised by the Kobach case but it would be “shortsighted” to focus solely on that matter. Among the items the third-party consultant might review are: l The responsiveness of the Douglas County zoning and codes department, including the total number of inspections, building permits and plan reviews over the past several years, and determining the length of time for plan reviews in comparison with other governments in the region. l Fairness and professionalism of the department, including reviewing how the department can “integrate contractor and builder feedback to ensure that staff interactions are fair and professional.” l A best-practices review examining how similar governments handle the valuation of construction permits and poli-

The proposed administrative rule would require election officers to cancel incomplete applications after 90 days. The Rev. Ben Scott, president of the Topeka branch of the NAACP, argued voting is a right, not a privilege, and the secretary of state’s office should focus on trying to help people register rather than putting up impediments. “I can remember back in the 1960s and a little before, there were lives that were taken for this particular right,” Scott said. “Those lives will never be given back to us, but one of the things I thought we as Americans would always have is this right to vote. They died for that.” The proposed rule recently drew criticism from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose campaign tweeted that it was “a targeted attack on voting rights.” Kobach responded on

cies, procedures used for waiving building permit fees and policies dealing with construction that occurred without a permit. In 2014, it was discovered that Kobach was preparing a building in northwest Douglas County as a residence, even though it was coded only for agricultural use. A $700 fine that would normally be issued in such a case was not assessed, nor was Kobach forced to tear out his floor so inspectors could take a look at already-installed plumbing. Last September, the county issued an occupancy permit even though there was no approved water source at the time. Kay Pettit, a combination inspector for Douglas County, said she called many of the coding inconsistencies out to Jim Sherman, the inspector in charge of examining Kobach’s building, but was ignored in Kobach’s favor. “I don’t think you can be an inspector worth your salt and give a certificate of occupancy on a house that doesn’t have windows in the bedroom,” she said. Sherman later resigned his Douglas County position and accepted a position as a codes director in another community. In light of Sherman’s departure, Pettit said, she is confused about what the county hopes to achieve with the upcoming review, calling the action “punitive” and saying she fears for her job

after speaking out against the Kobach case. Pettit said the building codes department underwent a review from the Insurance Services Organization as recently as 2013 and received high marks. “(The upcoming review) makes no sense to me at all,” she said, “because our department has recently gone through a new code adoption, and we’ve also gone through the Building Code Effectiveness Grading System, which is basically a third party coming in and seeing how well the department is doing.” Plinsky and Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug both said they could not recall any such review, but they did not deny that one may have taken place. As of Wednesday night, the Journal-World could not independently verify a review took place. “There’s nothing wrong with our department,” Pettit said. “It feels to me like it’s punitive. I have the nerve to complain about the way the Kobach thing was handled, and now that the guy who did it is gone, there are only four people in our department. All we need is leadership, and we do not have it. “I don’t know why somebody won’t sit down with me and go down everything that happened on the Kobach permit and say, ‘Yes, we did this right,’ and, ‘Yes, we did this incorrectly,’” she added. “Instead, they’re going to hire a consultant

to do a review when all that info they’re requesting can be spit out by our very basic software.” The county also hopes for the upcoming thirdparty review to address how much discretion inspectors may use in their positions. “What kind of discretion do other building code officials have in other organizations?” Plinsky said. “That would give me a sense of ‘do our building code officials have too much discretion or too little discretion.’ I don’t know, so I need to get a sense of what other places have.” Plinsky said it may take several weeks to find a third-party consultant to conduct the review. Also at Wednesday’s meeting, county commissioners: l Unanimously agreed to donate an empty lot in the East Hills Business Park to a new business venture by the adjacent building materials company, Prosoco Inc. The gifted lot includes less than 4 acres of land and sits between Prosoco and Kinedyne, another business to the south. The land will be used for loading docks and access roads that will connect to Kinedyne’s building, which Prosoco plans to take over later this year as Kinedyne moves its operations to Alabama. Douglas County commissioners meet at 4 p.m. each Wednesday at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The meetings are open to the public.

Facebook that the rule was being criticized by “left-wing knuckleheads” and Clinton “is getting her pantsuit in a twist over nothing.” The attorney general’s office and Department of Administration have approved the rule, but Kobach is required by law to have a public hearing and consider possible changes. His office said it has received more than 400 written comments. Kobach did not attend the hearing and had his elections chief preside. Marge Aherns, copresident of the League of Women Voters of Kansas, said that organization opposes the proof-of-citizenship law in its entirety, and she said the 90-day limit would impose a burden on many people who need more time to gather their documents. “We know an out-ofstate birth certificate can be costly or time-consuming to obtain,” she said. “Online ordering of documents presumes knowledge of computer access, methods of payment and receipt of mail documents.”

Two people spoke out in favor of the proposal. Andrew Howell, a former Republican state legislator from Fort Scott whom Kobach appointed as Shawnee County Election Commissioner, said it is costly for his office to continue trying to contact would-be voters long after they initially applied for voter registration. “Frankly, we do get phone calls from a number of people who say, ‘We really don’t wish to be contacted by you, we never intended to sign up as a voter in the first place,’” Howell said. “Frankly, sometimes those people get angry at us.” And Jack Sossoman, a Shawnee County resident, said he supports requiring proof of citizenship. “Yes, people do have a right to vote. But that right is qualified,” he said. “It’s qualified on U.S. citizenship, and the U.S. Constitution says that, that you have to be a citizen of the United States of America to vote.” But Doug Bonney, legal director of the

American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas, questioned whether Kobach has the authority to enact such a regulation. “This statute (that Kobach cites as authority) allows the secretary of state to adopt rules and regulations that implement the statute,” Bonney said. “There is in Kansas law no statutory basis for the 90-day limitation period.” Michael Smith, a political science professor at Emporia State University, said he and other researchers have analyzed the list of registrations that were being held in suspense as of last fall and found that 16 percent of them were able to complete their registrations within eight months, much longer than the 90 days that would be allowed under Kobach’s proposed rules. Brian Caskey, director of elections in the secretary of state’s office, said Kobach would consider the public comments before issuing a final regulation. He said that could involve amending the proposed regulation or enacting them as proposed.

Kobach said later Wednesday that he hoped the comments would be reviewed in a few weeks, so that the rule can take effect Oct. 2. After Wednesday’s hearing, the Kansas Democratic Party executive director, Kerry Gooch, criticized Kobach’s priorities. “If Kris Kobach spent half as much time and energy helping Kansans register to vote as he does attempting to block Kansas citizens from voting, every eligible Kansan would be registered,” Gooch said in a news release, adding that he was disappointed Kobach was not at the hearing. “If Secretary Kobach wants to take radical action that disenfranchises thousands of Kansas voters, he should at least have the courage and decency to show up to his own public hearing.” —The Associated Press contributed to this story.

United Way: Focus of 2015 campaign is lives, not funds

From the Archives

There was no talk of dollar amounts at the 2015 United Way of Douglas County campaign kickoff Wednesday. In the past, the focus has been on fundraising amounts, but this year is a little different. Local United Way members are asking community members simply to “improve more lives,” be it by volunteerism or donation, in the agency’s 2015 campaign.

Supreme Court refuses to review abortion lawsuit By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court is refusing for now to review a district court judge’s order blocking the nation’s first ban on a common second trimester abortion procedure, despite requests from both sides.

The high court’s 4-3 decision this week means the state Court of Appeals first will handle a lawsuit filed by two abortion providers against a statute that was supposed to take effect in July. The Court of Appeals set an expedited schedule for the case Wednesday. Please see ABORTION, page 5A

HANGOVER HELPERS Pig out after

a busy night on these local comfort foods By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna

ith fall semester at Kansas University and Haskell Indian Nations University officially underway, we thought we’d celebrate the students’ return with a roundup of some of the many hangover-themed dishes (from the greasy to the greasier) available at local restaurants. Obviously, you don’t have to actually be suffering from a hangover to enjoy these comforting selections. A biscuitsand-gravy pizza is a biscuitsand-gravy pizza, no matter how you slice it.

l The Hangover at Tad’s Pizzeria, 1410 Kasold Drive As assistant general manager at Tad’s Pizzeria, Amanda Albrecht has gotten used to fielding questions about The Hangover. After all, she says, it’s not every day you see scrambled eggs on a pizza. That’s partly what makes the popular pie a hit with the weekend crowd, who regularly call Tad’s asking around for the pizzeria’s best hangover cure, Albrecht says. “It contains eggs, ham, bacon, veggies (green bell peppers), and it is a pizza,” she says of The Hangover. “I think the combination of all those aspects is sort of your typical hangover fare — greasy and breakfast-y.” The Hangover, which former Tad’s general manager Kristin Meixner developed a few years back, has proven so popular that it’s since spawned more breakfast pizzas. Thinking of starting your weekend early? You can snag The Hangover (or one of its cousins, such as the Flamin’ Omelet pizza) for 20 percent off on Fridays. l Chicken-fried steak at Ladybird Diner, 721 Massachusetts St. “Rough night?” reads the description on Ladybird’s menu. “This will help you forget…or remember.” That’s the idea behind Ladybird owner Meg Heriford’s interpretation of the comfortfood classic, which is smoth-

ered in sausage gravy, topped with roasted green chiles and served with eggs (any style) and hash browns or grits. “It’s a deep-fried steak that’s been hammered out, and it’s got a lot of breading on it, so I imagine it’s pretty good for you,” says floor manager Christine Fedderman. So is most of Ladybird’s breakfast menu — at least on mornings when you’re feeling particularly dead inside — which also includes biscuits and gravy and French Toast B.E.C., a savory-sweet mashup of bacon, fried egg and cheddar sandwiched between two slices of battered homemade brioche.

pizza is a good, absorb-everything-in-your-stomach kind of meal,” she says. It’s got quite a bit of heft to it, O’Brien adds, so share this one with a screwdriver (Limestone makes those, too) and a few hungover buddies.

l Roost Mac & Cheese and Smoke Up Johnny bloody mary at The Roost, 920 Massachusetts St. You could say The Roost, being a breakfast place, is inherently suited to the woes of the hangover-stricken. And you may be right on that count, but for an especially atrocious hangover, Roost co-owner Kenny Pingleton has l Biscuits-and-gravy pizza one go-to recommendation. at Limestone Pizza, 814 Mas“The Roost hangover cure is sachusetts St. a Smoke Up Johnny and a bowl When Limestone expanded of mac and cheese,” he says. its hours to Sundays about a The restaurant offers sevyear ago, co-owner Debbie eral bloody mary variations, Rascoll said the goal was to ac- but the Smoke Up Johnny — commodate “late risers” from which contains smoked chipo11 a.m. to 4 p.m. tle peppers, smoked tomatoes, Since then, co-owner/chef hickory-smoked cheddar Rick Martin’s biscuits-and-gra- cheese curd, pecan-smoked vy pizza has emerged from the bacon and smoked paprika — restaurant’s rotating menu of seems to be the most popular brunch creations as a Sunday on weekend mornings when best-seller. paired with a bowl of macaroThe pie — which is topped ni and cheese, Pingleton says. with house-made breakfast The trottole pasta in cheesy sausage, a reduced cream-based béchamel sauce stands well gravy, crumbled sage, eggs and on its own, but Pingleton says Gruyere cheese — is definitely adding bacon and tomatoes or “one people get excited about,” meatballs is a popular choice. says server Pearl O’Brien.

These days, he’s quick to recommend The Roost’s special onetwo punch when someone comes in asking for a hangover cure. l Breakfast sandwich at Leeway Franks, 935 Iowa St. When Leeway Franks owner Lee Meisel overindulges, you can bet he’ll reach for “an egg or something cheesy” to soothe his tummy the next day. As far as he’s concerned, breakfast food is the best hangover food, and Meisel is particularly proud of his breakfast sandwich, which customers can snag anytime from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. “It’s cheesy greasiness on a sandwich,” Meisel says of his creation, which comprises a house-made pork sausage patty, fried egg, American cheese and spicy mayonnaise on Texas toast. “How do you go wrong with that?” At Leeway Franks, it’s served with french fries or tater tots. This week, Meisel is offering bacon (cured in-house, following Leeway Franks’ nose-to-tail credo) and says the special should continue for a while. Or, he says, you can always go ham (get it?) and order your sandwich with sausage AND bacon. You’re hungover, after all. “I’d say that half our menu is

probably in that category,” Meisel says. “We encourage people to have fun and then come hang out with us and maybe have something early in the morning to make you feel better.” l Hangover Hashbrowns at The Burger Stand, 803 Massachusetts St. When it comes to hangovers, comfort is king, at least according to Beau Bruns. “People aren’t going to wake up and get a salad to cure their hangover,” says Bruns, general manager at the Burger Stand. “They want to grab something (greasy) and stuff it in their face and make all the pain go away.” Fair enough. At The Burger Stand, chef Simon Bates has created a dish with all the essential components of a hangover cure. His aptly named Hangover Hashbrowns — layered with red-eye gravy, an 8-ounce burger patty, peppadew and pepperoncini peppers, and topped with a fried egg — might just be “upwards of a pound of food,” Bruns says.

CLAS Lejuez cited four major challenges, which he also called “opportunities”: threats to the core liberal arts mission, “silo mentality” between disciplines, lack of creativity in improving diversity and inclusion and disconnect between faculty and administrators. Lejuez said he lived the experience of trying to communicate the importance of a liberal arts education. He said he was the first of his family to go to college and that when he told his mother he planned to major in psychology, she was not impressed. “She would say I was our chance to do something,” Lejuez said. “I couldn’t

explain to her at the time how it would make me a better person and give me job opportunities.” Now, Lejuez said universities must take advantage of studies and feedback from employers that show liberal arts skills are valuable to help combat “misunderstanding” about the value of such degrees. Lejuez said his work on a tenure and promotion committee at Maryland helped him appreciate the value of different disciplines and the importance of comparing faculty in them not to other disciplines at the school but, because each is unique, a standard of excellence matching their fields at peer institutions. He said he was impressed by KU’s “strong” interdisciplinary institutes and supported interdisciplinary “cluster” plans.

Regarding diversity and inclusion, Lejuez said universities must seek out data and feedback to understand why underrepresented groups aren’t coming or aren’t staying, and wield it to improve. “There is a serious issue in terms of retention of faculty from underrepresented groups,” he said. He said feedback could help the school address factors early on. Same for international students, he said; they must not simply be brought to campus but supported once there. One small effort he initiated within his own research center at Maryland, he said, was a oneday seminar on the topic of neuroscience and diversity research, which is in its third year and “enormously successful.” Lejuez’s research interests cover addictions,

The Supreme Court sometimes takes high-profile cases from the Court of Appeals to speed up their final resolution when they seemed destined to end up before the high court on appeal anyway. Attorney General Derek Schmidt, a defendant in the lawsuit, issued a statement saying that he appreciated the lower appellate court’s schedule, requiring written legal arguments to be filed by mid-November. Janet Crepps, a senior attorney for the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, said the group had hoped the Supreme Court would take the case but ultimately believes both courts will find the law unconstitutional. “As long as women in Kansas are protected in the meantime, we’re

happy to let the process take its natural course,” Crepps said. The high court’s twoparagraph order Monday did not explain the reasons for its decision. The order said Justices Carol Beier, Eric Rosen and Caleb Stegall dissented. Beier and Rosen were appointed by former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, an abortion rights supporter, while Stegall was appointed by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, an abortion opponent. The law on hold embodies model legislation from the National Right to Life Committee and bans what critics call “dismemberment abortion.” It prohibits doctors from using forceps, clamps, scissors or similar instruments on a living fetus to remove it from the womb in pieces. Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks temporarily blocked the law in late June.

One-upping boss is annoying, but tolerable Dear Annie: I work in an office with nine other people. For some reason, my boss likes to share every boring detail of her personal life with us. We smile, listen politely and laugh at her “hilarious” anecdotes. This might be bearable if she showed any interest in our lives, but she doesn’t. Occasionally, with one foot out the door, she will ask, “How are you doing?” but it’s obvious she wants a quick answer at most. If she joins a conversation, she takes over and seems compelled to top whoever is speaking. Why does she do this? She is bright, talented and accomplished. Why the need to be the star? Is there anything we can do to change this? — Arizona Dear Arizona: Your boss, like many outwardly successful peo-

‘Jokers’ to host live on-air event Some forms of entertainment never go out of style. Unleashing a stunt that would not be unheard of in the 18th century, the guys on “Impractical Jokers” (9 p.m., TruTV) celebrate their 100th episode with a live event. The four good friends will walk a tightrope five stories above the streets of New York. Howie Mandel takes time off from his steady work on “America’s Got Talent” to host the event. Why a tightrope? Why live? The kinds of stunts the “Impractical Jokers” perform can be seen in thousands of clips on YouTube. Sometimes it takes a live, deathdefying, daredevil stunt just to get people to watch something on old-fashioned “television.”

PBS takes a page from its network rivals, dedicating a half-hour on the Thursday before Labor Day to “PBS Previews — The Best of Fall 2015” (8 p.m.). There’s something kind of cheesy and commercial about these sneak peeks.

Among the shows PBS will be touting are the forthcoming “American Experience” profile of Walt Disney (Sept. 14) and the “Masterpiece” presentation “Indian Summers” (Sept. 27), a “Downton Abbey”-like melodrama set in the dying days of the British Empire’s hold on the subcontinent.

Fans of PBS mystery fare may enjoy “Agatha Christie’s Partners In Crime.” The BBC series begins streaming on the Acorn service today. “Partners” is a period costume series set in the 1950s. It stars David Walliams (”Little Britain”) and Jessica Raine (”Call the Midwife”) as Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, a husband-and-wife team of amateur detectives snooping out hints of Cold War intrigue and Soviet espionage as Britain rebuilds itself from the rubble of World War II.

My partner and his daughter had been estranged for many years. One of the best things to happen was when his daughter’s fiance, a wonderful man, facilitated a reconciliation. Part of the reconciliation was an invitation to their wedding. After receiving the invitation, we had dinner with the fiance. We felt we had little choice but to confirm that, as the father’s partner, I was included in the invitation because my name was not on it. The fiance said yes. We’ll never

Floral glory Thanks to some extra rain and a lot of hard work, Lawrence’s public flower displays are in prime condition this year.

ne of the more beautiful attractions at last Sunday’s Fall Arts and Crafts Festival in South Park wasn’t found in a vendor’s booth. It was the colorful floral display exploding from the bed just west of the South Park bandstand. Like the products displayed by exhibitors at the fair, the park landscaping represents a lot of hard work. With an assist from Mother Nature, who supplied more rain than usual this summer, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation crews have outdone themselves with abundant and attractive flower displays in downtown planters and city parks. City employees also get an assist from volunteers who pitch in to plant flowers at certain times of the year. In fact, the city put out a call earlier this week for volunteers to help plant mums in downtown Lawrence on Oct. 2 and 3. People who would like to help can sign up through the city’s website or by calling the Parks and Recreation offices at 832-7940. According to the city’s website, the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for 64 parks and open spaces covering nearly 4,000 acres. Simply maintaining these properties is no small task, but city crews put in considerable extra effort to create attractive landscaping and outstanding seasonal floral plantings at the city’s most visible parks and intersections. Any home gardener can appreciate how much work goes into those displays. The city gardens are a source of enjoyment for both residents and visitors to the city, and they project a sense of community pride, as well. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers who help maintain attractive plantings in public areas throughout the city. This year’s flowers are looking better than ever.

Law puts child’s race above welfare “It is a sordid business, this divvying us up by race.” — Chief Justice John Roberts Washington — Sordid, always. And sometimes lethal, as some Native American children could attest, were they not, like Declan Stewart and Laurynn Whiteshield, dead. They were victims of the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), which as construed and applied demonstrates how identity politics can leave a trail of broken bodies and broken hearts. The 1978 act’s advocates say it is not about race but about the rights of sovereign tribes, as though that distinction is meaningful. The act empowers tribes to abort adoption proceedings, or even take children from foster homes, solely because the children have even a minuscule quantum of American Indian blood. Although, remember, this act is supposedly not about race. The most recent case to reach the U.S. Supreme Court concerned a child who was 1.2 percent Cherokee. The Goldwater Institute, the Phoenix think tank whose litigators are challenging ICWA’s constitutionality, says “her nearest full-blooded Indian ancestor lived in the time of George Washington’s father.” Children’s welfare, which is paramount under all 50 states’ laws, is sacrificed to abstractions like tribal “integrity” or “coherence.” The Goldwater litigators say that guidelines from the U.S. Bureau of In-

“

The act empowers tribes to abort adoption proceedings, or even take children from foster homes, solely because the children have even a minuscule quantum of American Indian blood.” dian Affairs tell courts that in determining foster care or adoption, “Placement in an Indian home is presumed to be in the child’s best interest.” ICWA forbids blocking placement in an Indian home because of poverty, substance abuse or “nonconforming social behavior.” ICWA was passed to prevent a real abuse, the taking of Indian children from their homes without justifiable cause. But by protecting tribal sovereignty without stipulating the primary importance of protecting the best interests of the children, the rights of the tribes have essentially erased those of the children and the parents who wish to adopt them. Declan Stewart was 5 when

he was beaten to death by his mother’s live-in boyfriend. Declan had been removed from his mother by Oklahoma state officials in 2006, after his skull had been fractured and he received severe bruising between his testicles and rectum. But when the Cherokee Nation objected to his removal, Oklahoma, knowing how ICWA favors tribal rights, relented. Declan was murdered a month after being returned to his mother. From age 9 months until she was almost 3, Laurynn Whiteshield and her twin sister were in the foster care of Jeanine Kersey-Russell, a Methodist minister in Bismarck, N.D. But when she tried to terminate the twins’ parents’ rights in order to adopt them, the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe invoked ICWA and the children were sent to the reservation and the custody of their grandfather. Thirty-seven days later, Laurynn died after being thrown down an embankment by her grandfather’s wife, who had a record of neglecting, endangering and abusing her own children. Laurynn’s sister was returned to Kersey-Russell. Laura and Pete Lupo of Lynden, Wash., raised Elle, who was less than 2 percent Cherokee and who came to them at age 14 months from a mother who was a drug addict and a father who was in prison. When Elle was 3, her uncle objected to the Lupos adopting her, and she was given to him. By treating children, however attenuated or imaginary their Indian ancestry, as little

Kasold ‘diet’ To the editor: I really think the “diet” plan for Kasold Road is absurd. It was built as a four-lane road from Peterson Road to 31st and Iowa Street. I really see no need to narrow it to two lanes at any point. There is enough existing median to add turn lanes if required, like there are south of Clinton Parkway. Maybe a stop light at Harvard and Kasold would be required but I see nothing wrong with the present stop signs. A roundabout really isn’t the answer. Please don’t change Kasold Road to the “diet” plan and leave it a fourlane road as it was built. Harlan L. Miller, Lawrence

trophies for tribal power, ICWA discourages adoptions by parents who see only children, not pawns of identity politics. The Goldwater Institute hopes to establish the right of Indian children to be treated as all other children are, rather than as subordinate to tribal rights. “Is it one drop of blood that triggers all these extraordinary rights?” asked Chief Justice Roberts during oral arguments in a case involving ICWA. Indeed. The most pernicious idea ever in general circulation in the United States is the “one-drop rule,” according to which persons whose ancestry includes any black or Indian admixture are assigned a black or Indian identity. In final adoption hearings in Arizona, a judge asks, “Does this child contain any Native American blood?” It is revolting that judicial proceedings in America can turn on questions about group rights deriving from “blood.” It has been a protracted, serpentine path from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and “separate but equal” to today’s racial preferences. The nation still is stained by the sordid business of assigning group identities and rights. This is discordant with the inherent individualism of the nation’s foundational natural rights tradition, which is incompatible with ICWA. It should be overturned or revised before more bodies and hearts are broken.

Unselfish acts part of human survival Washington — Why should people care about the past or the future? That may sound like a perverse question, but it’s at the center of two recent stories — one involving the Islamic State’s destruction of antiquities at Palmyra in Syria, and the other a presidential warning about damage to the planet decades hence. The unpleasant, amoral question usually doesn’t get asked: Why should people give a hoot about their ancestors or descendants? What constrains us from simply acting selfishly? Certainly, we don’t have any formal obligation to preserve old relics, unless they’re protected by law. And in the march of progress, we frequently bulldoze old structures and barely notice. As for the environment, why shouldn’t people maximize their self-interest today, even if it harms the welfare of descendants most of us will never meet? In the age of Donald Trump, the cult of self-interest occasionally seems like an article of the Bill of Rights. But it’s likely that we’re programmed, as a species and a republic, to be more generous. Parents care about their children (and vice versa) because it helps us survive. Let’s look at the recent examples that test the proposition.

David Ignatius

“

As Pearlstein observes, history teaches us that societies like ours, which temper raw greed with collective values, do better than those that don’t.”

On Aug. 25, Islamic State activists posted on social media photographs of what they claimed was the destruction of the “Temple of Baal Shamin” in the nearly 2,000-yearold Roman city of Palmyra, which the extremists had captured in May. The photos showed two fighters carrying a barrel of explosives into the temple, charges placed astride three ancient columns, and then a mushroom cloud of debris. A ghastly satellite image was released Tuesday by a United Nations agency, confirming this assault on history.

It showed rubble where the walls of the site’s main building once stood. Maamoun Abdulkarim, the head of Syria’s department of antiquities and museums, told BBC Radio that the action was a “catastrophe” and that he was “very sad and very pessimistic” for the future of the site. The Islamic State militants didn’t explain their actions. But past statements have indicated that they view such ruins as creations of a polytheistic religion and culture they reject. President Barack Obama this week invoked our responsibility to be unselfish about the future. In a speech Monday in Alaska he painted what The Associated Press called a “doomsday scenario” if climate-change trends aren’t reversed: “More drought, more floods, rising sea levels, greater migration, more refugees, more scarcity, more conflict. ... We will condemn our children to a planet beyond their capacity to repair.” A confirmed advocate of self-interest might respond: Well, my children will just have to cope. Many adults, after all, spend down their savings to live well in the present, rather than pass along a larger legacy to their kids. This sensibility is implicit in arguments that the welfare of the

living should take precedence over the state of the planet in an unknowable future. But do Americans really believe in this radical version of selfishness? There’s considerable scholarship arguing the opposite. As my colleague Steven Pearlstein, who now teaches economics at George Mason University, argues in a chapter titled “Is Greed Good?” in a forthcoming book, we’re programmed for intergenerational fairness and generosity. Indeed, our republic was founded as a commonwealth, to protect values that were taken to be “self-evident.” Every officeholder takes a vow to “preserve, protect and defend” the nation. Part of why the United States has been so successful is that Americans are not just greedy. They cooperate. They build roads and airports and cyberspace that can be shared. They provide for the common defense. As Pearlstein observes, history teaches us that societies like ours, which temper raw greed with collective values, do better than those that don’t. When we feel a revulsion at the destruction of the past or a threat to the future, what we are really affirming is human survival. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., was the 34th senator to come out in support of the pact. She announced her decision Wednesday.

TERRY BYRNE AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

The tobacco industry is breathing easier after the end of a federal assessment that forced cigarette manufacturers, cigar companies and chew makers to make 10 years of payments to farmers, averaging nearly $1 billion annually. The expiration of the Tobacco Transition Payment Program has bolstered the bottom line of Big Tobacco after years of tax increases and declines in smoking, The annual savings equal about 2.4% of the U.S. tobacco industry’s annual revenue — or about 9.9% of its profit — based on industry figures provided by research firm IBISWorld. For 10 years, the government forced tobacco manufacturers such as Altria Group, Reynolds American and Lorillard to make quarterly payments totaling about $9.6 billion to help farmers cope with the sudden deregulation of tobacco farming in 2005. The U.S. Department of Agriculture passed those payments along to tobacco growers to help them deal with the resulting drop in the crop’s price. Though the end of the mandated payments on Sept. 30, 2014, went largely unnoticed among industry watchdogs, it was long visible on the horizon for Big Tobacco. “They’ve been anticipating this since the deal was done 10 years ago,” said Blake Brown, an agriv STORY CONTINUES ON 1B

Holy holly! 3 trillion trees are rooted on this Earth Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Three trillion. That’s the staggering number of trees on Earth, according to a new tally that astounds even the scientists who compiled it. Three trillion is three followed by 12 zeroes, which is more than the number of stars in the Milky Way and more than the number of cells in a human brain. If the new sum is accurate – and other scientists think it is – the planet boasts roughly 420 trees for every living person. An earlier count pegged the global tree total at a

mere 400 billion, but that study relied on less sophisticated methods. The gold medal for tree numbers goes to Russia, with 642 billion. The United States is fourth with 228 billion, behind only Russia, Canada and Brazil, although the United States lags behind many more countries in tree density. The figures are published in this week’s Nature. The total is “astonishing,” study co-author Thomas Crowther, who did the research as a postdoctoral student at Yale University, told reporters. When Crowther asked forestry experts to predict the total, they made

The United States is in fourth place with 228 billion trees and is behind only Russia, Canada and Brazil. The new tally of trees astounds even the scientists who compiled it. TREVOR HUGHES, USA TODAY

wildly incorrect guesses, he said in a separate interview. “No one could comprehend the scale of the things we were seeing.” In a more sobering find, Crowther and his team calculated

that roughly 15.3 billion trees are cut down each year, and humanity has reduced the Earth’s tree population by nearly half since civilization began. Around the world, one of the biggest influ-

ences on the number of trees is the corps of humans wielding chainsaws and axes. The scientists didn’t have to count the world’s trees one by one. But they still needed two years, data amassed by thousands of tree huggers and a good chunk of supercomputer time to add up all those oaks and palms and pines. The team combined actual tree counts made in wooded areas with satellite pictures.

POLICE, FIREFIGHTER SURVIVORS WAIT YEARS FOR DEATH BENEFIT

Delays bog down program created to help families of those who died in the line of duty. Agency says it struggles with inadequate information, but senator not buying excuses.

Indiana firefighter Leonard Murray was killed by a brush fire pickup in a fire department repair shop in 2010.

Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Joe Schuengel, 47, died when his Bell 206 JetRanger helicopter crashed into a subdivision in 2010 after running low on fuel. A year after the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board issued its report that the crash was caused by low fuel and blamed the pilot. Investigators also found traces of antidepressants, anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory medications in the pilot’s system, which they said should have medically disqualified him from being licensed to fly. It wasn’t until April of this year, almost five years after the crash, that Schuengel’s family got a decision from the federal benefits office. The government denied the family’s claim. “There was no back and forth, no periodic updates, no contact with the Department of Justice. We periodically contacted the patrol and requested updates,” said Suzanne Shoemaker, one of Schuengel’s sisters. The family appealed the decision in July.

It’s been almost five years since a brush fire pickup lunged forward and crushed volunteer firefighter Leonard Murray, killing him. The Indiana man’s family continues to wait for an answer from the federal government about whether they will or won’t get a one-time death benefit meant to help the survivors of fallen public safety officers. Hundreds of families have waited for a year — and sometimes several years — for action from the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits programs set up in 1976 to help out families of police, firefighters and other emergency workers who die in the line of duty or after severely stressful events on the job.

BIG TOBACCO PAYOUTS The federal government forced the tobacco product manufacturers to pay about $9.6 billion over 10 years to farmers to deregulate the tobacco-growing industry. The top three cigarette companies paid the most. Here’s what they paid, in millions, in the final three years of the tax and what their top brand is: 2014

cultural economist and professor at North Carolina State University. “There was a real cost to manufacturers for this.” That cost has been snuffed out. The USDA declined to release an itemized list of payments made by the Big Tobacco companies to deregulate tobacco farming, citing tax privacy law. A USA TODAY review of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, earnings call transcripts, government data and analyst reports reveals the depths of the benefits for the nation’s top tobacco companies after the assessment’s expiration: uAltria Group: The largest U.S. maker of cigarettes, whose Philip Morris USA unit makes the Marlboro brand, is the biggest winner. The company no longer has to make payments that cost it $1.1 billion in the final three years of the tax equivalent, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. uReynolds American: The second-largest U.S. cigarette manufacturer, maker of the Camel brand, paid about $583 million

in the final three years of the assessment, according to corporate filings. Reynolds American Chief Financial Officer Andrew Gilchrist recently told investors the policy change “played a significant role” in boosting the company’s finances. uLorillard: The third-largest manufacturer — which Reynolds American acquired in June — paid about $330 million over the final three years of the tax while it was an independent company, according to a public filing. Representatives for Altria Group and Reynolds American declined USA TODAY’s requests for comment. President George W. Bush established the system of buyouts when he signed a bill in late 2004 implementing the assessment on tobacco companies. The plan deregulated the tobacco farming industry, putting an end to a complex Great Depression-era system in which the government kept crop prices artificially high in part by limiting the amount each farmer could grow. Farmers received the buyout payments from Big Tobacco to help them deal with the sudden

elimination of federal quotas and price controls. They were compensated based on the total pounds of tobacco they were allowed to grow under the previous system. Almost 52% of the nation’s tobacco farmers stopped growing tobacco within a year of deregulation, according to research firm IBISWorld. NCSU agricultural economist Brown said manufacturers passed the extra assessment along to smokers in the form of higher prices — an estimated 5 cents per pack. About 13.2 billion cigarette packs were sold in the USA in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, so 5 cents per pack adds up quickly. Now that the assessment is gone, tobacco companies will reap the benefits of higher cigarette prices implemented to fund deregulation. Marty Barrington, CEO of Altria Group, hinted this year that the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturer would use the cash to bolster its online strategy and improve its position in the e-cigarette market, among other things. “There’s lots of places for us to

invest in our businesses,” he said when asked about the savings Jan. 30, according to a transcript of the call by Seeking Alpha. “Our goal is to keep our brand franchises strong and relevant, and there’s lots of tools to do that.” Profit margins for U.S. tobacco makers increased from 18.5% in 2009 to 24.2% in 2014, according to IBISWorld. The industry collected about $9.7 billion in profit in 2014, the research firm estimated. Margins will get another boost now that the industry does not have to make payments that averaged $960 million a year. “I don’t think profits are really hurting for these manufacturers overall,” said Will McKitterick, a senior analyst for research firm IBISWorld who left the firm in August.

NATION/WORLD Biden’s boosters race for Dem donors VP’s supporters insist that he has a ‘deep reservoir of support’ Fredreka Schouten @fschouten USA TODAY

Vice President Biden’s backers, racing to line up financial support for his possible 2016 bid, say they are gaining traction among the Democratic fundraisers who helped secure millions for President Obama’s two White House campaigns. “There will be a deep reservoir of support for the vice president should he enter the race,” said Jon Cooper, a Long Island businessman who raised $1 million for Obama’s presidential bids. He also serves as finance chairman for Draft Biden 2016, a super PAC laying the foundation for a

possible Biden candidacy. The Draft Biden officials say they are on track to raise $2.5 million to $3 million in the next few weeks. That’s far short of the $67 million Hillary Clinton and affiliated super PACs have drawn this year from her deep donor base. Add to that Clinton’s big lead in creating a ground force in early voting states and the string of endorsements she’s secured, and it’s clear the vice president faces huge hurdles. Even so, the chance that Biden could enter the race has roiled Democratic fundraising world. Some Democrats, alarmed by the ongoing controversy over Clinton’s use of a private computer server as secretary of State, are searching for Candidate B. Others say they want to recapture the excitement of the spirited 2008 campaign, in which Clinton, Obama, Biden and clutch

of other well-known Democrats battled for the nomination. “A lot of folks are nervous because there isn’t an obvious alternative to Secretary Clinton,” said

David Garrison, a Nashville lawyer who raised money for Obama’s campaigns. Right now, Garrison is inclined to back Clinton whom he described as the “most electable” candidate in the field. But if Biden entered the race, he said, “it would be a harder decision.” Is there an opening for Biden? “I don’t know,” he said. Biden’s every move sparks attention. He has met with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, an icon to his party’s progressives, and Bob Bauer, who served as top lawyer in the Obama campaign. After Labor Day, he plans to gather with top Democratic fundraisers at his official residence, The Washington Post recently reported. On Sept. 10, Biden will appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

MANHUNT FOR 3 IN ILLINOIS: ‘WE’RE NOT GOING TO STOP’ Few details on suspects sought in cop’s shooting death

Above, police officers continue their search mission in Fox Lake, Ill. At left, Daniel Byrd and his sister Danielle pay respects to Lt. Joe Gliniewicz at a makeshift memorial outside the Fox Lake Police Department.

Fox Lake shortly before 8 a.m. The officer radioed dispatch to say he was going to check on suspicious activity he had spotted. He requested backup about three minutes after initially spotting the men, and the responding offi-

cers got to the area six minutes later, according to police. The responding officers found Gliniewicz’s body lying in a marshy area. Filenko said Wednesday that police didn’t have specific details on what may have raised Gliniew-

icz’s suspicions but suggested the fact that the men were spotted in a desolate area may have piqued the officer’s attention. Mayor Donny Schmit, the top elected official of the town of 10,000, recalled Gliniewicz as an officer with more than 30 years of policing experience who was nicknamed “G.I. Joe.” Gliniewicz was the father of four boys. The killing in Fox Lake marks the fourth tragedy in nine days across the USA where a law enforcement officer has been slain while going about his regular duties.

IN BRIEF ELITE ARMY SCHOOL OFFICIALLY OPEN TO WOMEN

The Army announced Wednesday that its elite Ranger School will be open to all qualified women, a key milestone in the military’s ongoing efforts to lift the ban on females in ground combat jobs. The decision was made after the Army had allowed women to enter a limited number of classes as part of an assessment to determine how best to integrate females into ground combat specialties, such as the infantry and special operations. Last month the first two women graduated from the Ranger School as part of that assessment. — Jim Michaels USA’S TALLEST MOUNTAIN NOW A LITTLE LESS TALL

Aamer Madhani, John Bacon and Doyle Rice Law enforcement officers in Fox Lake, Ill., combed through hours of private surveillance video and followed up on dozens of tips from citizens Wednesday as they searched for three men they believe were responsible for gunning down a veteran police officer in a sleepy community 60 miles north of Chicago. But so far investigators say they have little substantive information in their hunt for the suspects in the shooting death of Fox Lake Police Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz more than 24 hours after he was killed. After initially focusing on a small industrial area near where Gliniewicz was fatally wounded, Lake County, Ill., Major Crime Task Force Commander George Filenko said they believe the suspects are unlikely to be in the immediate area but urged area residents to remain vigilant. Police have few details about the suspects, but Filenko said investigators are determined to track down the men. “I’m not going to set a timeline on this,” Filenko said. “I have a murdered colleague, a police officer. We’re not going to stop.” Filenko said police, backed by hundreds of federal, state and local agents, were conducting a secondary search of the sparse industrial area. Filenko said an autopsy of Gliniewicz was completed late Tuesday, but he declined to release details. Gliniewicz was patrolling in an industrial area in the suburb of

Biden’s aides did not respond to interview requests. But Biden himself last week told members of the Democratic National Committee that he was assessing whether he had the “emotional fuel” to make a third presidential bid following the death of his son, Beau, in May. “If I were to announce to run, I have to be able to commit to all of you that I would be able to give it my whole heart and my whole soul, and right now, both are pretty well banged up,” Biden told DNC members, according to CNN. Cooper signed on the Biden effort in July. Last month, Joshua Alcorn, who served as a top adviser to Beau Biden during his tenure at Delaware’s attorney general, also joined Draft Biden. Super PAC officials say more than 210,000 people have signed their petition, urging Biden to enter the race.

Arby’s said it has apologized to Florida’s Pembroke Pines Police Department after an employee at one of the fast-food chain’s locations allegedly refused to serve one of the department’s police officers. Pembroke Pines police says one of their officers was initially refused service at an Arby’s location in town on Tuesday evening when trying to order food at the restaurant’s drive-thru. The officer was in uniform and in a police vehicle, according to a police report filed on the incident. The drive-thru clerk, who was identified as Kenneth Davenport, 19, sounded “short” with the officer when he or she was ordering, the police report says. Police would not divulge the name of the complaining officer. Store manager Angel Mirabel told the officer that the clerk “doesn’t want to serve you because you are a police officer.” Mirabel had to order Davenport to process the officer’s credit card. — Aamer Madhani

Red T-shirt, navy pants, tiny Velcro shoes, one snap slightly undone as often happens with children. But this toddler’s body was lifeless as ocean waves lapped up to gently touch his dark brown hair. The grim discovery of a dead migrant child washed up along the shores of a Turkish resort town brought fresh horror and renewed calls Wednesday for European nations to take firm action to halt the growing crisis. The child — a boy who appeared to be no more than 3 years old — was one of at least 12 Syrian migrants who died on two boats trying to cross the sea to the Greek island of Kos, Turkish media reported Wednesday. At least three of the dead found on the beach in Bodrum in southern Turkey were children, according to the reports. The town is a popular location for migrants trying to reach Kos, which is among the shortest routes by sea from Asia to the European Union, the state-run Andalou Agency reported. In a series of images shared widely on social media Wednesday, Turkish authorities walked up to the child’s body before lifting him off the wet sand and carrying him away. The body of a young man was found nearby. USA TODAY does not typically publish graphic images of dead bodies. It decided to use these photos because they illustrate the significant horror of the situation as thousands of migrants risk their lives seeking refuge in Europe. The images can be found at usatoday.com. The United Nations says more than 2,400 people have died this year attempting to reach mainland Europe in decrepit boats and dinghies that cross the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey and North Africa. Tens of thousands of migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia have also risked their lives over the so-called Balkan land route.

Judge won’t drop charges against cops in Gray case Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

A judge on Wednesday denied defense motions to dismiss charges against six police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a black male who died while in a police van in April. The ruling by Judge Barry Williams followed an hour and 15-minute hearing by the officers as protesters demonstrated in front of the courthouse. Activists carrying yellow signs with slogans including, “Stop racism now,” gathered outside the Baltimore City Circuit Courthouse East. They chanted: “Indict, convict, send those killer cops to jail. The whole damn system is guilty as hell” and “Tell the truth and stop the lies, Freddie Gray didn’t have to die.” The police department reported one arrest. “Most protesters are cooperating and not blocking roadways,” the department said on Twitter. The six officers have pleaded not guilty to charges ranging from false imprisonment to involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of 25-year-old Gray, who died of a severe neck injury while handcuffed and restrained inside a police van April 12.

Consumer spending up as board ponders hike in interest rates Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

In a report that could help the Federal Reserve decide whether to raise interest rates this month, the central bank said Wednesday the U.S. economy grew a bit more slowly from early July to mid August as consumer spending accelerated but a strong dollar and low oil prices continued to weigh. After recent market turmoil, some economists say the report

and Friday’s August employment tally need to significantly beat expectations to nudge the Fed into lifting its benchmark rate for the first time in nearly a decade. The Fed meets Sept. 16-17. By itself, at least, the anecdotal snapshot of conditions around the country didn’t appear to provide the Fed ammunition to pull the trigger. Growth was moderate in half of the Fed’s 12 bank districts but modest in New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Kansas City, Mo., and Dallas, according to the “beige book,” named for the color of its cover. The Cleveland economy ticked up only slightly. While manufacturing activity generally advanced, the strong dollar bolstered imports and hurt

DANIEL ACKER, BLOOMBERG

Auto sales were a bright spot in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco.

exports. And consumer spending picked up on brisk auto sales but at a slower pace than previously reported. The report appears to cover a time frame that preceded recent

volatility in financial markets. It provides no signal that payroll growth for August will exceed the roughly 200,000 monthly rate so far this year. Most areas reported “slight to modest growth in employment,” though hiring strengthened noticeably in New York. Wages notched just “slight to moderate increases.” But several areas reported “increasing wage pressures” as the unemployment rate falls. The Fed is looking for pay growth to pick up from the modest 2% annual pace that has prevailed throughout the recovery. Perhaps the economy’s strongest pillar in recent months has been the auto industry, which is

supporting both retail sales and manufacturing. Sales were a bright spot in several regions, including Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco. Manufacturers in the Cleveland, Richmond, Va., and Chicago areas all posted strong growth in auto-related production. And the aerospace industry fueled factory activity in Chicago, Dallas and San Francisco. Retail sales were varied but picked up in the Richmond, Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City and San Francisco areas. The housing market has been resurgent lately, and that continued the past six weeks, with home sales and prices rising in every district.

The number of tobacco growers have dropped, and the remaining are dealing with the recent loss of decade-long cash infusion from the U.S. government, but those who remain are in a stronger position to grapple with foreign competition than they were 10 years ago, say industry analysts. Farmers who held the rights to grow tobacco received $9.6 billion over 10 years from a federal assessment on tobacco manufacturers that Congress designed as a consolation prize to soften the blow for the sudden deregulation of tobacco growing. The payments — funneled quarterly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture from tobacco manufacturers to growers — expired in late 2014. Yet, even after that assessment’s expiration, U.S. tobacco farmers are poised to compete with foreign growers, according to a report out this summer from research firm IBISWorld. It projects that the U.S. tobacco farming industry’s annual revenue will rise at an average annual rate of 4.2% over the next five years. For about seven decades, dating to the Great Depression, the government imposed production limits on individual tobacco farms but guaranteed an artificially high price for the crop. The policy maintained order in the tobacco growing business for years and kept many small farmers alive. But over time, foreign growers swiped market share away from U.S. tobacco farmers, selling their crops to manufacturers at a lower price. When Congress voted in late 2004 to eliminate the government’s involvement in the industry, it was viewed as a way to normalize the price of tobacco and make U.S. tobacco farming more competitive in the long run. Analysts say the move did what it was intended to do — make the industry more competitive on a

U.S. TOBACCO FARMS AND ACREAGE The number of U.S. farms that grow tobacco has plummeted as farmers grappled with the effects of regulation, deregulation, lower smoking rates and foreign competition. The number of acres devoted to tobacco crops has fallen by 60% since 1997.

global stage by fostering consolidation and allowing farmers to cut the prices of their crops. “Ultimately, deregulation helped spur revenue and profit growth, while helping the tobacco industry acclimate to international competition,” IBISWorld concluded in a June 2015 report. Current exports account for an estimated 63.6% of industry sales, up from 59.8% in 2004, which was prior to deregulation, the report said. IBISWorld also estimates $144 million in profit on $1.9 billion in sales in 2015 for the U.S. tobacco farmers. The growth is fueled pri-

marily by exports to countries where smoking is more socially acceptable, such as China and Russia. “Tobacco growers gain revenue and profit by offering a competitive price on their product, thus earning higher revenue totals,” the report said. “They no longer rely on artificially inflated domestic prices for their source of revenue.” “It did make it more competitive,” adds Blake Brown, a North Carolina State University agricultural economist. “Exports were declining. They did stabilize and actually increase.” The ranks of U.S. tobacco farmers plummeted in the decade since the federal government stopped imposing an artificially high price and production controls on tobacco crops. The assessment, called the Tobacco Transition Payment Program (TTPP), was designed as compensation for farmers who were facing an immediate drop in tobacco crop prices, which had previously been federally controlled. “It was a way to sunset the program without drastically hurting the farmers who benefited from it,” said Will McKitterick, a senior analyst for research firm IBISWorld who left the firm in August, in a recent interview. Many used the cash to retire, including thousands of farmers who owned the rights to grow tobacco but had already stopped doing so. Others used the cash to expand by acquiring other farms or investing in new technology. The average farmer received $17,358 over 10 years from TTPP, according to a study by North Carolina State University agricultural economist Blake Brown. Tobacco manufacturers such as Altria Group, Reynolds American and Lorillard paid the bill. Today, only 4,268 farmers grow tobacco, says IBISWorld.

Oil prices rise even as crude stockpiles grow Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

Reversing intraday losses, oil prices settled higher Wednesday despite a new report that showed U.S. commercial crude oil inventories rose a more-than-expected 4.7 million barrels last week. The turnaround came after a Federal Reserve report said the economy grew a bit more slowly from early July to mid-August, a finding that could influence the

central bank’s decision on whether to hike interest rates this month. The results extended the sharp volatility that has marked recent oil market trading. The inventory increase boosted stockpiles to 455.4 million barrels, keeping the supply near levels the U.S. Energy Information Administration report said had not been seen at this time of year in at least the past 80 years. The increase surpassed the 100,000-barrel jump that was forecast by financial analysts.

Domestic crude oil imports averaged about 7.9 million barrels per day last week, up by 656,000 barrels per day from the previous week, the report said. West Texas Intermediate oil for October delivery settled at $46.25 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 1.8% or 84 cents. October delivery of Brent crude, the global benchmark, settled up nearly 1.9% at $50.50 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe Exchange based in London.

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

“Volatility” is the new catchphrase on Wall Street, thanks to a once-placid stock market that quickly turned into a frightful, white-knuckle roller-coaster ride for investors. A quick check of investopedia.com came up with the following definition: “A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index.” What it means in real life is stock prices are gyrating up and down wildly, crazily, frantically — with no apparent rhyme or reason. Indeed, instead of a formal definition of volatility, just look at the daily price action of the Dow Jones industrial average the past 10 trading sessions, starting with Wednesday’s close: +293 (points);

Turnaround for accessory maker work in progress Q: Is the Vera Bradley comeback for real? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors have patiently waited for a resurgence of Vera Bradley for years. The comeback is far from being in the bag, but investors like what they see. Shares of the handbag and accessory maker for women jumped $2.89, or 27.7%, to $13.32 Wednesday after the company reported an adjusted profit share of 15 cents, which was 50% better than expected. Revenue for the quarter totaled $120.7 million, which surpassed expectations by 5%. Investors are hoping new products — focusing more on leather — not to mention different marketing, can turn the company’s fortunes around. But while the quarterly results were better than expected, they are far from healthy. Adjusted earnings per share during the quarter dropped 21% from the same year-ago period, and revenue grew just 1.4%. Sales at stores open at least a year declined 15%. Don’t be fooled by the sizeable oneday jump in the stock in reaction to the news. This company’s turnaround is still a work in progress. The company’s adjusted earnings are expected to fall by about a third in the current fiscal year, according to S&P Capital IQ, and revenue is expected to drop by about 3%. The stock is down 40% from a year ago, but analysts still rate it a “hold.”

Degiro to launch ad-powered trading service called Deziro Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Online brokerage firm Degiro is taking a page from tech companies such as Google and Facebook with plans to use ads to offset costs for consumers. Founded in 2008, Amsterdambased Degiro has grown rapidly in Europe — expanding to more than a dozen countries, including the United Kingdom in June — by slashing fees by as much as 80% below the competition.

Silicon Valley is famous for using ads to pay for consumer services, but it’s not a practice common to Wall Street.

Now, Degiro aims to slash prices even lower — to zero — with a new ad-powered trading service it is calling Deziro, the company said. The trading service is expected to launch in as many as 20 countries starting next year, including the U.S., depending on demand, a spokesman told USA TODAY. The brokerage firm will be assessing worldwide demand for its ad-powered trading platform through a waiting list, which is available through its website, www.deziro.com, the company said.

Silicon Valley is famous for using ads to pay for consumer services, like Facebook and Google’s search engine. But it’s not a practice common to Wall Street, which relies on commissions and other fees paid for directly by investors. If successful in the U.S., Deziro will be competing with Robinhood, a mobile app that also promises free trading. Robinhood, which is backed by Silicon Valley venture capital firms such as Google Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, is not powered by ads, however. It makes money

through other traditional brokerage fees, such as interest on customers’ cash balances and their margin accounts. “We are proud to have cut trading fees by 80% across Europe with Degiro. But this is not enough,” Gijs Nagel, co-founder of Degiro, said in a statement. “We want to liberate the rest of the world from unfair fees and overhaul the online trading market.” Nagel said he hopes to bring his advertising-based trading model to more than just stocks in the future.

LIFELINE AWARD TRACKER OSCARS HOSTS This awards season, it will be a team effort when it comes to hosting the Oscars. The award show is looking for two hosts for the 2016 ceremony, show producer David Hill told ‘EW.’ “There will be multiple hosts for sure — there will be two,” Hill said. Why two hosts? “Two is better than one,” he said, adding: “Just imagine, you’re in there. One of your hosts drops dead from cardiac arrest. What do you do? Second host goes on! And you keep going. … Note to self: ALBERT WATSON, Check out their ©A.M.P.A.S.® heart rates.” The last time a pair hosted the Oscars was in 2011, when James Franco and Anne Hathaway delivered performances that many critics and fans panned.

Luke wore the orange of an Xwing fighter pilot’s garb in the original DAVID Star Wars movie in 1977, JAMES and Poe (Oscar Isaac, above) is the resident flyboy of Force Awakens. The heroic member of the Resistance looms large with Jakks Pacific’s Big Figs toy ($19.99), which stands 18 inches tall and will probably take up a good bit of your toy box.

Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia were the action figures of past generations. But as Star Wars: The Force Awakens gets set to hit theaters Dec. 18, a slew of merchandise with new characters Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) arrives at midnight at Toys R Us, Target, Walmart and other chains as part of the Force Friday campaign. Kids of all ages can take home these three new Force Awakens characters — and one really cute droid. USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt surveys the offerings.

Know how people get all giddy any time they see R2-D2 rolling around? Well, it’s time for a new roly-poly robot to take the mantle. Rey’s droid BB-8 (right) was a favorite when he hit the stage at fan festival Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, and Mattel has designed a die-cast Hot Wheels car ($3.49) off the colorful droid — more tires, but just as adorable as the original.

FINN

John Boyega (above) is a man of many suits — in the Force Awakens trailer, he’s clad in Stormtrooper gear but also some cool jacket fashion à la Han Solo. It’s the latter outfit that the character sports in his 6-inch Hasbro Star Wars: Black Series figure ($19.99). Finn comes with a blaster, though he also will be wielding a lightsaber in The Force Awakens. As Boyega tweeted last week, “Finn is a man of variety.”

REY

Daisy Ridley’s female lead (below) is a resident of the desert planet Jakku, and her tattered clothes reflect the look of a woman who spends her days roughing it as a scavenger. Disney Store has a Rey role-play ensemble ($49.99) with tunic, detached sleeves and goggles so girls can look just as cosmically cool as their favorite new Star Wars character. (Director J.J. Abrams has said her last name is being kept under wraps for now — could she be a Skywalker, too?)

Filmmaker Alex Gibney finds his latest controversial subject (after Enron, Scientology, Lance Armstrong) in deified Apple chief Steve Jobs in his new documentary, The Man in the Machine. Though Jobs’ history was thoroughly detailed in Walter Isaacson’s best-selling biography, Gibney’s two-hour documentary (in theaters and on demand Friday) illustrates Jobs’ ascent with compelling interviews and archived video that portray a layered man who was at once the lauded father of modern technology and also a “maniacal genius” who called to mind The Godfather, according to former employees. Five times that Man in the Machine depicts Jobs as a charismatic leader who was less amicable in his one-on-one dealings:

Pre-Apple, Steve Wozniak and Jobs created a new videogame for Atari in four sleepless days. According to Wozniak, both men got mononucleosis and were paid $7,000. However, Jobs told his partner the job was only for $700 and wrote his future Apple cofounder a $350 check.

Winning’s the key to better football attendance

All fired up

One good omen for the Kansas University football team can be found in the broadcast booth for Saturday’s 11 a.m. kickoff against South Dakota State. The Jayhawks are undefeated the past two years in games called by Fox Sports Network duo Brendan Burke and Ben Leber. Burke and Leber were in the booth for Charlie Weis’ lone Big 12 victory, 31-19 against West Virginia, Nov. 16, 2013. They also caught last season’s 24-10 victory vs. Central Michigan and interim coach Clint Bowen’s 34-14 conquest of Iowa State. When Burke and Leber visit Lawrence it’s a great football town. The bars are packed. Everybody’s happy. KU is 3-0 with Burke and Leber in the booth, 3-18 the past two seasons without them.

By Tim Cowlishaw

The air continues to leak out of the DeflateGate story. We can see the finish line, but I’m sorry to say it may not be completely over when a federal judge issues his ruling this week. This has become a story that has diminished us all. Certainly it hasn’t been good for Tom Brady. It’s not just the potential games he will miss or the impact on his legacy. I mean look at those courtroom sketches. The man looks awful. It’s no surprise that it has been even worse for the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell. We have reached the point where we no longer believe in his ability to manage his way through any type of controversy. Does this matter to the owners at some point? Or as long as they are collecting $4 billion per year from their various TV packages, do they really care? Let me start with Brady. I don’t think he’s completely innocent in all of this. Certainly, if you go all the way back to that Super Bowl interview with NBC’s Bob Costas, he sounded like a man who expected to look guilty — at least to some degree — when the investigation was concluded. The fact he has become more defiant in subsequent months is no surprise. Surrounded by attorneys telling him he has a great case, that the league overstepped its bounds by having Goodell serve as arbiter and that the Wells Report seemingly botched a junior high science project, Brady now sees himself as a martyr. If U.S. District Judge Berman rules in the NFL’s favor, expect Brady to continue this battle beyond the playing field. How could Brady have handled this better? I understand his desire to return to the field as soon as possible. But had he accepted the four games and said, “I don’t consider myself at fault here but I don’t want to drag the league and the fans through a long courtroom battle,” he could have returned as a conquering hero in October, rested and ready for the final three-fourths of the season with his team almost surely holding nothing worse than a 2-2 record. That would have been a tough decision, but I think he could have made it and come across as the far bigger man in this silly fight. As for Goodell, his decision to go toe-to-toe with the league’s most successful franchise and quarterback of this generation was a specious one from the start. The league did a terrible job of examining the pressure in the footballs at halftime of the AFC Championship Game, and that should have been recognized fairly quickly. Instead, the league leaked information (false as it turned out) about how badly deflated almost all of the Patriots’ footballs were, and ESPN had no choice but to go with it. I actually thought Goodell’s decision to serve as the arbitrator was going to prove to be a smart one. He would reduce Brady’s penalty to two games — still more than he should have received in this case — and we would all move on with our lives. We wouldn’t be watching reporters standing outside a lower Manhattan court 10 days before the start of the season with goofy fans holding up “Chris Mortensen Lies” signs before being escorted away. Instead, Goodell stuck with his tough guy role and upheld the four-game suspension.

coming at them.... You don’t have to hit those walls if you know they’re coming.” While most of the walls Beaty spoke of represented physical fatigue, self doubt, nerves or even fear, he also made sure to address one on the other side of the fence that could show up as soon as this weekend. “As a coaching staff, we have an extra job Saturday to try to manage that emotion that’s going to be wrapped up,” Beaty said. “Being able to step out there just for warm-ups, if nothing else, is going to be something we’re going to have to be able to manage, particularly with the number of young players that are going to be experiencing their first Division I football game.” Beaty continued: “We’ve talked about it. We’ve put a lot of emphasis on it. Understand the kickoff is when it starts for us to really unleash everything. Until that point we have to pin it up a little bit so we don’t expel too much energy before we get to the actual game part. Particularly our young guys.” It might sound crazy to

suggest that a team can be too fired up for a game, but Goodman, who is one of just three Jayhawks (Michael Cummings and Bryan Peters) going through opening week at Kansas for the fifth time in his college career, has seen it too many times before. “It is possible for them to be too hyped,” he said of the guys preparing to make their Division I debuts. Junior quarterback Montell Cozart, who, just two years ago, was in this same position, agreed with Goodman and said it felt a little strange to be on the other side of things looking at wide-eyed newcomers preparing for their first taste of Kansas football. Although he still has experience in just 14 games, Cozart said he offered some advice to KU’s young guys this week. “There’s gonna be 50,000 people there (give or take) and I just told ’em to go out there like they’ve been doing all camp,” Cozart said. “It’s just us, the ball and the other team. Don’t worry about the crowd, don’t be looking into the stands. It’s just another game. It’s faster, the guys are stronger but it’s just another football game and you’ve been doing it since you were young.”

Ankle sprain to keep Kelce out tonight Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Tight end Travis Kelce will miss the Chiefs’ preseason finale tonight against St. Louis after spraining his ankle in practice earlier this week. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said it was a slight sprain and Kelce would have been able to play had it been the regular season. But with most of the starters getting the night off — if not all of them — it only made sense to keep Kelce out of the game. “It looked like he got his foot caught in the grass and tweaked his ankle a little bit,” Reid said. “I think he’s lucky that the grass gave way a little bit.” There are few players more valuable to the Chiefs offense than Kelce. Not only does he give quarterback Alex Smith an athletic tight end who can stretch the field, and running back Jamaal Charles an adept blocker, he also has little experience behind on the depth chart. James O’Shaughnessy would be next in line. Richard Gordon and Ryan Taylor are also on the roster, while Demetrius Harris is only now getting back on

CHIEFS TIGHT END TRAVIS KELCE (87) is tackled by Tennessee’s Coty Sensabaugh on Friday in Kansas City, Missouri. the field after missing the entire offseason and most of training camp following foot surgery and a staph infection. “Number one, you look for consistency — talent and consistency,” Reid said. “I think we’ve got good talent there. I’ll be curious to see how they handle extended playing time here.”

Reid said that Harris could get on the field against the Rams, one day after offensive coordinator Doug Pederson projected it would be “a couple of weeks” before he could be game-ready. “There’s a good chance,” Reid said. “I kind of want to go back and see how he feels after today. If he does, it

won’t be a ton, but there’s a chance he does play a little bit.” Reid said his No. 2 offense and defense would start against St. Louis, which means Chase Daniel will get the nod at quarterback. The entrenched backup did not play at all last week as Reid opted to give thirdstringer Aaron Murray

more work behind Alex Smith. “Just have some fun, really,” Daniel said of his expectations for the Chiefs’ final preseason game. “Going out there and trying to run the offense to the best of our ability, and sharpen some stuff up before the start of the season. We’ve had a pretty good run so far.”

In other news, the Chiefs waived wide receiver Junior Hemingway, who had missed most of camp with a hip injury, and offensive tackle Tavon Rooks, who has been absent with an illness. Linebacker Justin March was placed on injured reserve after the promising undrafted rookie needed surgery for a torn meniscus. Quarterback Tyler Bray was placed on the nonfootball injury list after tearing his ACL while playing basketball in January. Like all teams, the Chiefs will have to trim to the 53-man roster limit by Saturday. “It’s horrible,” Daniel said. “For these rookies that have never been cut before, it’s difficult. I was cut multiple times in my first year in New Orleans. I was on and off of the practice squad and on and off of the active roster. I got cut from Washington. So it’s very difficult,” he said, “and every guy has their unique way to deal with it, so you just offer your support and just say, ‘Hey, make the best of your opportunity.’”
