PROTESTERS SIT ON THE FLOOR OF THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBER Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

Group holds 45-minute sit-in during meeting By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

A group of about 20 people held a sit in that delayed the Lawrence City Commission’s regular agenda by about 45 minutes on Tuesday, and ultimately led commissioners to approve

a statement of solidarity in support of Black Lives Matter and Native Americans protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. “I’m going to need Lawrence to be as progressive as they say,” said Trintiy Carpenter, an organizer with the Lawrence chapter of Black

Lives Matter. Several members of the group spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting, and the group reentered the meeting room shortly after the commission had begun discussion of its regular agenda. Commissioners did not indicate that

they opposed making such a statement, and their comments to the group centered mainly on timeframe and logistics. “We are in our general business meeting, and I would hope that everybody would

KU geologist: Expect more quakes in the future By Joanna Hlavacek

When a portion of Kasold Drive is reconstructed next year, the roadway will maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction. That design goes against the recommendation from city staff to reduce the number of lanes for safety. Both designs include multi-use paths and bike lanes, and the majority of commissioners indicated that the traditional, fivelane option best meets the needs of the community. CITY “It’s the COMMISSION only continuous road, north-south, in the entire city,” said Vice Mayor Leslie Soden. “That’s something where we need to keep our options open.” Commissioners voted 3-2 for the five-lane design, with Commissioners Stuart Boley and Lisa Larsen voting for a “complete street” design that would have reduced the number of lanes.

But Michael Taylor, an associate professor of geology at the University of Kansas, said he wasn’t surprised to hear reports of the record-tying quake reaching the northeastern corner of the state. “The frequency of moderate to strong earthquakes is increasing moderately to exponentially, especially in the last 10 years or so,” Taylor said, referring to Oklahoma earthquakes felt in Kansas. It’s a phenomenon that has especially grown in frequency since 2009, he points out. Another 5.6 magnitude earthquake struck Oklahoma in 2011, and a comparable quake of 5.1 occurred, also in Oklahoma, in February of this year. Taylor remembers feeling at least one of those in Lawrence. Additionally, Kansas and Oklahoma have seen close to 80 earthquakes of magnitude 4 or higher within the last decade, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. On Saturday, shortly after the 5.6 magnitude earthquake shook homes and businesses near the small town — and approximate quake center — of Pawnee, Okla., officials began the process of shutting down 37 of the state’s 3,200 active disposal wells. Many scientists, Taylor among them, point to the high-pressure injection of wastewater from oil and gas wells as an underlying cause to Oklahoma’s earthquakes, of which there have been more than 400 reported in 2016 alone. Thousands more have hit the state in recent years. Scientific studies have linked the majority of

this increased activity to wastewater injection, the idea being that wastewater, as it migrates into rock formations, alters stresses along old faults, in turn causing these faults to slip. Investigations will continue this week to determine the cause of the quake, which local officials in Oklahoma said resulted in moderate to severe damage and at least one nonlife-threatening injury. But in Lawrence, Taylor said, “Some people didn’t even feel it, so the likelihood of it doing foundation damage is really, really low.” He explained that those lying down (particularly those who might consider themselves “light sleepers”) at the time of the earthquake were most likely to feel its movements. Folks walking around outside, not so much. Shelby Bean, a personal lines account manager at Lawrence’s CEK Insurance, was already up that morning, supervising a garage sale at her home. Though she didn’t feel the earthquake, Bean said she knew to expect inquiries about the quake — and the coverage options available to her customers in case of such emergencies — the morning she returned to work after the Labor Day weekend. “I figured we’d have a couple calls, people asking about it,” Bean said, noting that, as of Tuesday afternoon, she’d only received one. In Kansas, earthquake coverage isn’t included in a standard homeowners insurance policy. Kansas Insurance Department communications director Bob Hanson said that kind of coverage requires an endorsement to the existing homeowners policy or a separate policy altogether. The cost varies, he and

Bean agree. A house valued at $200,000 to $300,000, for instance, might set the homeowner back about $50 per year in earthquake coverage, Bean said. It’s not terribly expensive, but the deductible can be high, she added. About 5 percent of her agency’s customers have earthquake coverage. That’s probably roughly in line with the rest of the state, Bean estimates. According to statistics released earlier this year by the Insurance Information Institute, earthquake coverage totaled around $6.5 million dollars across the state of Kansas in 2014. To compare, California had the largest amount of earthquake premiums in 2014, totaling $1.7 billion. “That ranks us 34th in the country,” Hanson said. “Honestly, 6 and a half million dollars’ worth of coverage spread out over all the homeowners in Kansas … that’s not a lot.” Even with the increase in Oklahoma earthquakes over the last few years, Bean said she hasn’t seen much of an uptick in earthquake coverage, at least not at her agency. She’s been there 27 years now, and is still surprised whenever she sees an earthquake policy land on her desk. “I don’t carry it on my house,” Bean said. Still, scientists like Taylor are confident we’ll continue to experience more Oklahoma-centered earthquakes in Kansas. “I would say that the old geology adage is, ‘If it happened in the past, it’ll probably happen in the future,’” Taylor said. “I expect that we will see other moderate to strong earthquakes. The question is when — and that is really hard to determine.”

Lawrence man sentenced for distributing child porn Officials say case involved 2,000 images, 800 videos

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

A Lawrence man was sentenced on Tuesday to serve nearly six years in prison for distributing child pornography, according to a release from Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall’s office. Tyler Padden, 35, was indicted on Oct. 29, 2014, on one count of distributing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography.

In June 2013, the FBI seized three laptops, one desktop computer and two thumb drives, according to the indictment, which was filed in Federal Court for the District of Kansas. On the computers and storage devices Padden had 2,000 images and 800 videos of child pornography, the release said.

He also installed seven filesharing programs on his computer that allowed other users to download images from his collection of child pornography. Police launched an investigation after a detective with the Overland Park Police Department used the internet to download child pornography

from Padden’s computer. Padden pleaded guilty to one count of possessing child pornography on Oct. 19, 2015. He was originally scheduled to be sentenced in January, but the court appearance was pushed back several times because of scheduling conflicts. On Tuesday Padden was sentenced to serve 70 months

in prison for his conviction. Beall commended the Overland Park Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Flannigan for their work on the case. — Public safety reporter Conrad Swanson can be reached at 832-7284. Follow him on Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

Brownback administration gets pushback Grinter Farms owners on proposed personnel rule changes welcome efforts to By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Democrats in the Kansas Legislature pushed back Tuesday against regulatory changes that Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is proposing that would scale back or remove many hiring and employment protections for state employees. Their comments came during a hearing before a legislative oversight committee where the Department of Administration outlined the changes being proposed. Generally, they would cut back on the use of administrative leave and limit the ability of retiring employees to donate their unused leave to another employee under-

These regulations, one after another, tend to attack state employees. They reduce the benefits and privileges of being a state employee, make it difficult, or more difficult, or less attractive to be a state employee. ” — Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita

going family hardships. They would also limit employees’ ability to appeal performance reviews and give hiring officers more discretion in deciding who could be laid off during a reduction in force, and who could be hired back after having been laid off. “These regulations, one after another, tend to attack state employees,” said Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichi-

ta, who serves on the panel. “They reduce the benefits and privileges of being a state employee, make it difficult, or more difficult, or less attractive to be a state employee. I don’t see one thing that you’ve proposed here that I would point to and say, that’s worker-friendly. That’s state employee-friendly.”

Man suspected of injuring officer in July traffic stop arrested A man suspected of injuring an officer with his vehicle has been arrested, police said Tuesday. The man, Aramis N. Hernandez, 36, was wanted for aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Amy Rhoads in July. Hernandez was found by an out-of-state agency, the

Lawrence Police Department said in a release Tuesday. He is currently in the custody of the Jefferson County Jail in Colorado, Rhoads said. Additional details about Hernandez’s arrest were not immediately available. On July 5, a Lawrence police officer stopped Hernandez in a

white car in the 1100 block of Rhode Island Street at 4:46 p.m. Hernandez allegedly fled the scene, dragging the officer southbound on Rhode Island Street. The car, a Ford Fusion, was soon found, but Hernandez remained at large. — Conrad Swanson

find traffic solutions By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

Kris Grinter said she and her husband, Ted, want to work with others to find solutions to traffic congestion after the “overwhelming” Labor Day popularity of their Grinter Farms sunflower field between Lawrence and Tonganoxie. Access to the field just north of U.S. Highway 24-40 at 24154 Stillwell Road was blocked for a time Monday. That came at the suggestion of the Leavenworth County Sheriff’s Office when traffic on U.S. 24-40 backed up for miles in both directions. The field itself remained open during that time. The field was open Tuesday and will remain open

“

to the public through the coming weekend, Grinter said. The sunflower field has become steadily more popular since she started posting information on social media three years ago as a way to avoid the need to constantly answer the phone, Grinter said. But even with that steady increase in interest, the Labor Day attendance was unanticipated.

campaign to retain not just the Supreme Court justices, but also seven judges on the Kansas Court of Appeals and all District Court judges who stand for retention this year. “I’m here because I simply don’t see that this is broken, it doesn’t need fixed, and I believe Kansans ought to be made aware of how important, and how blessed they are to have a system that has served them so well,” Graves said during an event Tuesday in Topeka. Under a constitutional provision adopted in 1958, governors appoint Supreme Court justices from a list of nominees sent to them from a nonpartisan nominating commission. Once appointed, they stand for retention in the next statewide general election, and then every six years thereafter. Since that provision was adopted, no Supreme Court justice has ever not been retained. But this year, there are organized efforts by conservative groups and others urging voters to reject four of the justices on the ballot: Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, as well as Associate Justices Carol Beier, Marla Luckert and Dan Biles. The fifth justice on the

BRIEFLY Court date delayed in harassment case A court appointment to set a trial date was pushed back Tuesday for a Lawrence man accused of harassing a New Zealand blogger online. Kalim Akeba Lloyd Dowdell, 19, was arrested on Aug. 5. He currently faces one misdemeanor charge of harassment by telecommunications device. Dowdell Dowdell appeared in court Tuesday afternoon where his attorney, Keith White, requested more time before a criminal trial is scheduled. Douglas County District Court Judge Kay Huff granted White’s request and scheduled Dowdell’s next appearance for Oct. 18 at 1:30 p.m. Police say Dowdell sent sexual messages to several people using a number of social media accounts, according to an arrest affidavit filed in Douglas County District Court. One woman who says Dowdell sent her unwanted and inappropriate pictures, Rachel Gronback, 31, of New Zealand, filed a police report this winter with pages documenting the messages. Since Dowdell’s arrest Gronback has committed to traveling to the United States if she’s needed to testify in a criminal trial.

REGGIE ROBINSON, LEFT, DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, moderates a discussion about judicial retention with four former Kansas governors: Republican Bill Graves; Democrat Kathleen Sebelius; Republican Mike Hayden; and Democrat John Carlin. ballot, Caleb Stegall, was appointed by current Gov. Sam Brownback and is not being targeted by those groups for removal. Kansans for Life, a statewide anti-abortion group, held a separate event later Tuesday in Topeka, urging voters to “Reject all but Stegall.” The group is also urging people to vote no on four of the seven Court of Appeals judges up for retention this year. The four being targeted all voted to uphold a lower court ruling that temporarily blocked a new law from taking effect that bans one commonly used abortion procedure.

But the main source of opposition to the four Supreme Court justices is their decision in 2013 to vacate the death sentences of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, two brothers convicted of a gruesome mass murder in Wichita in December 2000. Although the court upheld their convictions, it overturned their death sentences on procedural grounds and sent the case back to Sedgwick County District Court for resentencing. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, later reversed their decision and upheld their death sentences. Kansans for Justice, a

group formed by relatives of the Carr brothers’ victims, is one of the groups targeting the four justices who voted with the majority to vacate their death sentences. “We are confident if any of these four governors were treated as poorly as these four Kansas Supreme Court justices treated us, the governors would be less hostile to our cause,” Toni Porter, a member of Kansans for Justice, said in a statement Tuesday. The governors, however, treaded carefully around the issue of the victims and their families. “I don’t think any-

husband harvested 15 acres of corn. Grinter said she was also considering posting alternate routes to the field on the farm’s social media sites to help reduce traffic on U.S. 24-40. Savvy visitors using the internet to locate those backroads were able to make it to the field when the main routes were blocked, she said. Beyond those changes, Grinter said it was time the farm worked with others to find traffic control solutions. That would help those intending to visit the field to enjoy the experience and ensure that its popularity doesn’t burden others. “We have neighbors who love it, and I’m sure we have some who absolutely hate it,” she said of the annual sunflower field viewing. “We’ve never had big issues before, but if you imagine people having difficulty getting to their homes, I’m sure we’re going to hear from them.” She or her husband

would be attending Tuesday’s Tonganoxie City Council meeting, where she was confident Monday’s traffic jam would be a topic of discussion. Grinter said factors in Monday’s response were the pleasant late-summer weather, the sunflowers’ peak bloom display and the holiday. Not only was the weather great for an outing on Sunday and Monday, but lack of rain had left the field dry. “We have fewer people come if they know it’s muddy,” she said. The field will be open to the public this weekend, although the blooms will be past their peak, Grinter said. A few acres planted later in the season will display full lush blooms, she said. “There will be people there next weekend,” she said. “We anticipate good crowds, but not like this past weekend.” The Grinters were not required to get a permit from Leavenworth County for the annual sunflower viewing, said Jeff Joseph, director of

“(Monday) was overwhelming,” Grinter said. “It was overwhelming for us and overwhelming for infrastructure, obviously. We were expecting more people, but we weren’t expecting that much more.” Some of the highway congestion stemmed from slow traffic flow in parking lots, Grinter said.

We are trying to be defenders of the process itself.” “Our hearts go out to the victims and their families,” Hayden said. “What we’re saying is, you can’t judge the court on a single case because they’ve ruled on 1,100 since the current Chief Justice came in. You have to take the whole body of work.” Carlin, the earliest former governor of the group, said the option of not retaining a judge or justice was intended, “for extraordinary reasons, on those rare occasions when something must be done to not retain a particular justice.” “This is going after five who are up, based primarily on one case which needs to be clarified for the public in terms of the facts,” Carlin said. “But if we evolved into a system where we routinely threw out (justices), that’s a dramatically different situation. You would have fewer quality lawyers have any interest in getting into that situation.” Carlin was governor from 1979 to 1987. During his two terms, he vetoed a number of death penalty bills.

He was succeeded by Hayden, who served one term from 1987 to 1991. He had campaigned on a promise to sign a death penalty bill, but the same Legislature that had passed such bills when Carlin was governor never sent one to Hayden. He, in turn, was succeeded by Democrat Joan Finney, a Catholic who opposed both abortion and the death penalty. In her final year in office in 1992, however, she allowed a death penalty bill to become law without her signature. Finney died in 2001, and no one has been executed in Kansas under the bill she allowed to become law. She was succeeded in office by Graves, and then Sebelius, neither of whom ever campaigned strongly on the death penalty issue. Sebelius resigned in 2009 to become Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Barack Obama’s administration. She was succeeded by her lieutenant governor, Mark Parkinson, who chose not to run for a full term of his own. Parkinson did not attend the events Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo., and Topeka, but issued a statement in support of his predecessors saying, “the attacks on the courts over the past few years have been unprecedented.”

That’s a contrast to Douglas County, which developed new agritourism regulations in April 2014 in response to a controversial conditional use permit application for a pumpkin patch east of Baldwin City. At that time, the county estab-

Tier 1 businesses can provide parking for up to 40 vehicles, while Tier 2 enterprises are allotted up to 100, although that can be increased in some instances with administrative review. The Douglas County Commission must approve Tier 2 applications. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166. Follow him on Twitter: @ElvynJ

Layoffs have always, and will always be out there. ... So the reason for this is, in those situations where it is necessary, we want to make sure our best performers are the ones (being retained). ”

Ward and other Democrats on the panel suggested the administration was proposing new regulations because they represented changes that would never pass the Legislature if they were proposed as new statutes. They also suggested the administration was proposing the rule changes now in preparation for mass layoffs that they said may be necessary due to recent revenue shortfalls. But Kraig Knowlton, director of personnel services for the Department of Administration, denied there were any plans in place for mass layoffs. “I have not been informed of any pending mass layoff; I truly haven’t,” Knowlton said. In fact, Knowlton said, while the size of the state workforce, not including Regents university employees, has shrunk 15 percent since Brownback took office in 2010, most of that has not been the result of layoffs. In the five years since Brownback took office, Knowlton said, 285 state employees have been laid off. He said that’s less than the 365 who were laid off in the two years immediately before Brownback took office. “Layoffs have always, and will always be out there,” Knowlton said. “They’re not something an agency is going to immediately jump to because the work still has to get done. So the reason for this is, in those situations where it is necessary, we want to make sure our best performers are the ones (being retained).” But Rep.

And, he said, the administration’s push to reduce the size of the state’s workforce is part of the reason why some people have been suspicious about the administration’s motives. “You’ve talked about shrinking government 15 percent,” he said. “Shouldn’t that be a concern, because that seems to be something you’re proud of, that the administration is saying that’s a good thing. And it may be, but shouldn’t that be a concern when employees are put in a situation where they have less input and have less ability and less recourse when it comes to their employment, their rehire and their layoff?” “I know that there are some people who are going to be concerned about it, and I doubt there’s anything I can say that will allay those fears,” Knowlton replied. “Some people are going to perceive it one way; some people are going to perceive it another way.” Most of the proposed

changes would only affect classified employees who are covered by the state’s civil service laws. Rebecca Proctor, executive director of the Kan-

sas Organization of State Employees, which represents about 8,000 state workers, said the number of classified workers has been declining steadily.

That’s because in 2015, the Legislature passed a bill allowing agency heads to fill all new or vacant positions with unclassified employees. She argued that the proposed changes would be another step in the direction of making all state workers “at-will” employees. But Knowlton said the

shift toward unclassified jobs was intended to make the workforce more efficient, allowing department heads to shift duties between people or to add more duties to one person’s job description without having to go through the process of reclassifying the job. The Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations is only an advisory committee, meaning it has no authority to block an agency from adopting new regulations. But it is part of a general public hearing process required under statute before the new rules can be finalized.

SLT opening The long-awaited trafficway is expected to be operating for holidays, which is a good thing for Lawrence.

awrence is getting a $130 million Christmas present almost a quarter century in the making. The Kansas Department of Transportation said last week that the east leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway remains on schedule and the new freeway should open before Thanksgiving. The six miles of highway will connect the east leg of Kansas Highway 10 to U.S. Highway 59. The long-awaited highway should be a boon to commuters and should significantly relieve traffic pressures on major Lawrence thoroughfares, including 23rd and Iowa streets. Kim Qualls, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Transportation’s northeast district, said there is still significant work to be completed on the roadway, so an exact date for the opening hasn’t been identified, but beating the rush of holiday shopping is the target. “Typically when we are opening up projects in The trafficway the month of November, should be an we like to try economic boost to get them to Lawrence, open before Thanksgivproviding easy Qualls access to southside ing,” said. “So that retail not only to would be our the city’s residents target, is to but also residents of definitely get it open before other cities. holiday travel.” The roadway looks to be nearly complete, but Qualls said bridge tasks, paving, permanent pavement markings, signing, grading and seeding still have to be done. The trafficway has been on the drawing board since the early 1990s but was delayed for two decades by opposition from environmentalists and American Indian groups fighting construction of the road through the Baker Wetlands. After an agreement was reached, construction began in November 2013. As part of the agreement, KDOT installed barrier walls between the South Lawrence Trafficway and the wetlands to minimize traffic noise. The walls are installed near the intersection of 31st and Louisiana streets and along the same stretch between the freeway and 31st Street. The trafficway should be an economic boost to Lawrence, providing easy access to southside retail not only to the city’s residents but also residents of other cities. The momentum created by the opening of the highway will spur retail development in the area. Perhaps it’s even an opportunity for the city to reconsider the KTen Crossing project, a 250,000-square-foot retail development just south of the intersection of the trafficway and Iowa streets that the city rejected earlier this year. The reality is the highway is going to shift Lawrence’s retail landscape significantly. That shift should be good for Lawrence, making the Thanksgiving opening a nice holiday gift.

Clinton should embrace experience Washington — Despite Hillary Clinton’s recent slip in the polls, she has a big political opportunity, even though some of her advisers might regard it as a curse: She can run as the candidate who represents the “mainstream” leadership of both parties and knows how to fix our broken political system. In a year when anti-elitism has been a dominant theme in both parties, donning this establishment mantle might appear to be a mistake for Clinton. But let’s be honest: Her strength is that she’s the voice of experienced, centrist leadership. She’s not a convincing populist: The more she tries to sound like one, the more she risks coming off as a phony in the final two months of the campaign. Since Clinton can’t escape her mainstream pedigree, perhaps she would be wiser to try to turn it to her advantage — and explain to voters how she, as someone who deeply understands the system, would try to break the Washington logjam and make government work again for the country. If you’re thinking slogans, try: “Change, from the inside out.” Running from the center in a polarized country has its risks, to be sure. But Clinton’s current strategy, a sort of Bernie Sanders Lite, doesn’t seem to be working very well, even against a radically unqualified GOP opponent. A CNN poll released Tuesday showed Trump polls vary widely,

“

Clinton’s current strategy, a sort of Bernie Sanders Lite, doesn’t seem to be working very well, even against a radically unqualified GOP opponent.” but the average compiled by Real Clear Politics shows Clinton ahead now by just 3.3 points, less than half the margin she enjoyed after the July conventions. A Clinton strategy that played more on her governing experience would have three basic components. The first is the mass defection of leading Republicans from GOP nominee Donald Trump. Fifty former top GOP foreign-policy officials signed a letter in August warning that Trump would be “the most reckless president” in American history. Republican business leaders have been less vocal, but there’s a deep uneasiness in the broad moderate wing of the party that’s loyal to former President George W. Bush, 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney and

House Speaker Paul Ryan. Trump’s response to the GOP elite’s defection has basically been “good riddance.” He called the 50 foreign-policy experts “nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power.” He has a similar disdain for traditional conservative policies on trade and the budget. If Clinton is smart, she will use the GOP leadership’s rejection of Trump to reinforce her core argument that he is intellectually and temperamentally unsuited for the job, and would come to the White House without clear plans or advisers in both foreign and domestic policy. Although lacking any experience in government himself, he scorns the GOP leadership that might help him govern. Even the angriest populist voters might be wary of such a risky bet. Clinton can compound Trump’s isolation by showing that she would be open to bringing some of those disaffected mainstream Republicans into her administration. There’s a wide range of moderate Republicans who would accept her call. By contrast, who would Trump nominate for key positions in his Cabinet? Who would agree to serve? These questions will loom larger as Election Day approaches. The second leg of a “governing” strategy for Clinton is the likelihood that the Democrats will narrowly regain control of the Senate.

47 likely Democrats winning, 44 Republicans and nine tossups. Maybe Clinton will stumble and drag down Democrats, but pollsters have been betting that GOP candidates in close Senate races such as Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will be hurt by Trump. The third leg of this mainstream approach would be a strong, believable message about how Clinton would govern the country in the first 100 days. Middle-class voters do want change this year; they want to know that political leaders have truly gotten the message that the fruits of economic growth must be distributed more fairly, in a more robust economy. Clinton has been voicing the right policies and programs, but too often she makes her agenda sound like a liberal laundry list. The test will be Clinton’s ability to speak to the country during the debates. In terms of experience and expertise, she should overwhelm Trump. But 16 Republican primary challengers thought that, too. Clinton’s weakness is that she symbolizes an elite that many believe has led the country astray. She can’t change the elite part; that’s her biography. Her challenge is to show voters that she knows how to repair a damaged country — and that Trump, inexperienced and isolated from his own party, is a dangerous alternative.

To the editor: When discussing upcoming elections, I hear a lot of “I don’t like either of them.” Not forgetting that there are many candidates and issues on the ballot, maybe we should look at how we seem to make choices. One of the problems is that the art of getting elected and the art of governing are not the same thing. A person can be a good debater or a good speaker and convince people that they should vote for them, but that doesn’t mean they will do a good job in office. Too often, it seems to me, we have made choices based on personality or appearance rather than policy, on likeability rather than on competence. We should also remember that truth in advertising and libel and slander laws do not apply in elections. Should we base a decision on what someone else says about a candidate instead of what the candidate says and more importantly what the candidate has done in

the past? Sometimes your choice comes down to this: What does each candidate stand for? How have these policies worked in the past and above all how will these policies affect our nation, our state and our local governments? Dennis Stauffer, Lawrence

Bad choices To the Editor: As the November election creeps closer, both candidates from the major parties are disliked by many voters. Polling shows that a majority of citizens distrust both of them and have no faith in the government to police itself, as it applies the law only when it wants to. Why choose either? How about an alternative: Vote for “None of the above.” Some will say that it is a wasted vote and will only elect the other candidate. What if a majority of voters vote that way? Yes, one of them will “win,” but if a large number of voters express their dissatisfaction, then the winner is a

lame choice, having failed to garner the support of a vast number of voters. Perhaps that will send the message to the “official” parties that they are not listening to us. Few in public affairs act from a view of good for the country, whatever they pretend; and, though their acts may bring good, they come from considering that their own interests are as one and are not acting out of benevolence. Fewer still act with a view to the good of mankind. Not being a tech wizard, getting an online grassroots effort for such a vote would be difficult; but maybe there is someone more proficient to take up such a cause. Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Baldwin Sit-in City OKs wholesale water rate structure

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Baldwin City Council approved Monday an ordinance establishing a new wholesale water rate structure that accounts for the city’s increasing costs. The new rate structure was developed after two years of negotiations with Wellsville, which is by far the city’s biggest wholesale water customer. Nonetheless, the rate will be applied to the city’s other wholesale water customers of the city of Edgerton, Douglas County Rural Water District No. 4 and some private customers. Brad Smith, Baldwin City financial director, told the council the rate formula will charge wholesale customers 15 percent of the Baldwin City Water Department’s expense to treat 1,000 gallons of water minus its transfers to the city general fund. The wholesale rate will be applied on top of the $2.91 per 1,000 gallons Baldwin City pays to purchase wholesale water from Lawrence. Also added into the fee will be the 10 cents per 1,000 gallons the state of Kansas charges for using water from Clinton Lake, he said. The rate formula has been shared with Wellsville officials, who were pleased with it, Smith said. The next step would be both cities entering into a wholesale water purchase contract based on the new formula. The new contract will replace a current 40-year-old wholesale water agreement, which expires Dec. 31, 2017, he said. The wholesale water rate will be adjusted at the first of each year, Smith said. It should be expected to increase, because the city’s expenses would increase, he said. Baldwin City is the city of Lawrence’s second largest water customer behind the University of Kansas and bought 165 million gallons in 2015. Wellsville purchased 45 million gallons of that amount. The council also approved a mutual aid agreement with the Wellsville fire district. Baldwin City Fire Chief Terry Baker said the agreement was needed after the Wellsville city fire department consolidated with the surrounding fire district. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

you while you were at the microphone,” Mayor Mike Amyx initially told the group. This is the second time the topic has come up in the past month. Several people spoke at the commission’s last regular meeting in support of Black Lives Matter, and requested action from commissioners to address the issue locally. Caleb Stephens, also an organizer with the Lawrence chapter of Black Lives Matter, was one who spoke last month and said Tuesday that he was tired of waiting. Stephens noted that it had been three weeks since the commission’s last meeting. “White supremacy always tells me to wait,” Stephens said. The group said they would not leave without letters of solidarity. Commissioners — Commissioner Matthew Herbert initially, after which others agreed — said they wanted more time to write a thoughtful letter, as opposed to writing something on the spot. “I have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth, so to speak,” Herbert

Boley said that the increased safety that would come with the lane reduction and roundabout in the complete street plan was the reason he was in favor of the design, which city staff said would reduce speeding. “We have an obligation to design them for the way we want our drivers to drive them,” Boley said. City staff members recommended that section be reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction, down from the current configuration of two lanes in each direction. The complete street option, also known as the “road diet,” is designed to be safer than the current configuration because it doesn’t allow for passing and therefore deters speeding, which a traffic

is standard. Members of the group said that proclamation called attention to the lack of an official statement from the commission regarding the Black Lives Matter movement and Native Americans who are protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, an oil pipeline that would run through four states. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has filed a complaint against the

study found to be commonplace on the roadway. “If you have someone doing the speed limit— 30 miles per hour — everyone has to do 30 miles per hour,” said Chuck Soules, director of public works. Commissioners expressed concern at making changes to what they considered a major thoroughfare. Kasold is one of the three northsouth roadways through Lawrence, and the lane reduction would have only affected an approximately one-mile stretch of the roadway that runs from Ninth Street to 14th Street. Like Soden, Mayor Mike Amyx thought the design was the best for all users of the roadway. “I think we did a pretty good job of adding a path and everything that goes along with it and I think that we made pretty good decision,” Amyx said.

Kansas, voiced concern about the pipeline contaminating nearby rivers in event of a spill. “The water is very important,” Baker said. “I would like to keep the water clean for my kids and your kids.” After 45 minutes of back and forth, which brought in the city attorney, city manager and at one point an audience member, the commission and the group came to a consensus. In lieu of a letter, the commission decided to issue a statement Tuesday night, and called for a continuation of the meeting today. All commissioners signed the following statement: “We, the Lawrence City Commission, profess solidarity with Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, and all those oppressed. We always will profess support for you.” Though voices were raised at times — including some curse words — various members of the group shook hands with commissioners once a resolution was reached, and left the meeting of their own accord. Commissioners said they will meet to write a formal letter at 11:30 a.m. today at City Hall. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314. Follow her on Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Like many voters, Phil Rosen recoils from his choices for president. “I am sick to my stomach,” he said. It’s a dire sentiment, but the most striking thing about Rosen’s distress is his politics: He’s an ardent conservative in one of the most reliably “red” counties in America.

urbs where he lives, Hillary Clinton is widely disliked. But so is Donald Trump, leaving many GOP voters at sea. “He’s just a horrible human being. He has no soul. … He changes opinions hourly,” said Rosen, 55. “I don’t want Hillary. I don’t like her. I don’t trust her. Trump? How can you trust anything he says?” Trump needs every Republican vote he can get this fall. His struggle to excite and unify his party’s voters damages his chances in November, and it fuels GOP fears

that a drop in Republican turnout could hurt candidates up and down the ballot. Few places illustrate that struggle better than Waukesha County, Wis., an overwhelmingly white and middle-class expanse of office parks, subdivisions and picturesque lakes just west of the Democratic city of Milwaukee. Four years ago, Waukesha produced more GOP votes per capita than any other county of 50,000 people or more in America. The

Chicago hits 500 homicides after deadly holiday weekend Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

CHICAGO After a holiday weekend spate of violence that killed 13 people, the homicide toll in the nation’s third-largest city hit 500, a grim milestone that puts the city on track to reach a murder rate it hasn’t seen since the drug wars of the 1990s. The Labor Day weekend murders came after police recorded 92 murders in August, the deadliest month for Chicago since June 1993. Murders are up roughly 50% for the year, and Chicago has tallied more homicides than the much larger cities of New York and Los Angeles combined. The city is on pace to record more than 600 murders for 2016, a threshold it has not reached since 2003. Chicago regularly recorded more than 700 murders a year in the 1990s as gang vio-

APPLETON, WIS . Disability rights groups are attempting to intervene in a teenager’s decision to cease medical treatment and die of the incurable disease that has racked her body and left her in constant pain. Carrie Ann Lucas, executive director of the Colorado-based Disabled Parents Rights, said her organization is one of several that have asked for child protection authorities to investigate the case of Jerika Bolen, 14, whose decision to enter hospice care at the end of summer gained national attention. “A child doesn’t have the capacity to make those types of decisions, and under the eyes of the law, this is a child,” Lucas said Tuesday. Jerika suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2. She and her mother, Jen, said this summer that Jerika would go without her ventilator while under hospice care in early September, essentially scheduling her own death. Her story drew an outpouring of support when her family, friends and her care team held a prom, dubbed Jerika’s Last Dance, in late July. Tuesday, Jen Bolen asked for privacy and declined further comment about her daughter’s medical care. Melissa Blom, director of Outagamie County’s Children, Youth and Families Division, declined comment on whether her office received a referral or opened an investigation, citing the confidentiality of child welfare cases. Jerika was diagnosed as a baby with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, often referred to as SMA. The incurable disease destroys nerve cells in the brain stem and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle activity. Jerika has never walked,

Car loans top $1 trillion as delinquency rates increase Market is growing ‘across all risk tiers’ Greg Gardner

Detroit Free Press DETROIT Americans borrow more than ever for new and used vehicles, and 30- and 60-day delinquency rates rose in the second quarter, according to the automotive arm of one of the nation’s largest credit bureaus. The total balance of all outstanding auto loans reached $1.027 trillion from April 1 to June 30, the second consecutive

quarter that it surpassed the $1 trillion mark, according to Experian Automotive. More consumers are turning to leases, which accounted for 31.44% of all new car and truck transactions in the second quarter, up from 26.9% a year earlier. Both 30- and 60-day loan delinquencies rose, but the combined subprime and deep-subprime share of new and used auto loans and leases dropped from 23.3% in the second quarter of 2015 to 22.8% in second quarter of 2016. “Yes, subprime and deep-subprime loans are growing, but the entire market is growing from a

volume perspective across all risk tiers,” said Melinda Zabritski, Experian senior director of automotive finance. “In fact, the subprime loans have actually dropped as a percentage of the total market. That, combined with only a slight uptick in delinquencies, makes clear that the sky is not falling.” But the growing leverage that supports the industry’s near-record sales remains cause for concern. The average new car loan was $29,880, up 4.8% from the second quarter of 2015, and about $4,000 less than the average new vehicle selling price.

BRENNAN LINSLEY, AP

The average new car loan climbed 4.8% from the second quarter of 2015, to $29,880.

The average monthly payment on those loans was $499, up from $483 a year earlier. A growing portion of those loans are for a longer term, sometimes as long seven years. Last month, Fitch Ratings issued a report that found that among subprime and deep subprime borrowers (those with a FICO score of less than 600) the percentage that are 60 days or more behind on payments reached 4.59% in July, a 17% increase from a year earlier. “One of the biggest trends we see is the shift to used vehicles by customers with excellent credit,” Zabritski said.

and her movement is mostly limited to her head and hands. Jerika said she’s in constant pain — about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 on her best days. She expressed concern that her pain and the need for more invasive medical interventions would grow as her body continues to deteriorate. Lucas, who said she is unaware of whether a child protection investigation had commenced, said her organization is not asking that Jerika be removed from her mother’s care. “Foster care will not solve this problem,” she said. Jerika is in need of mental health care, not additional support for ending her life, Lucas said.

When it’s a decision of death, “it’s never in the child’s best interests,” Lucas said. Diane Coleman, executive director of the anti-euthanasia organization Not Dead Yet, compared the Bolens’ situation to that of Julianna Snow, a 5-yearold Oregon girl who was given the choice by her parents on whether to continue medical treatment. Snow, who had an incurable neurodegenerative illness, chose against further hospitalization and died in June after spending 18 months in hospice care. Coleman questioned both cases based on the children’s ages. Her organization views euthanasia as a form of discrimination against the old, ill and disabled. “I worry that there’s an attitude in the health care profession that really writes people off with disabilities,” she said. “I worry that people like Jerika and Julianna are in the throes of that, and without adequate support.” The withholding of treatment

from the disabled was recently the subject of court scrutiny in Wisconsin based on a lawsuit brought by the Disability Rights Wisconsin organization. In 2009, the organization sued five doctors from UW Health over their withholding of treatment from two developmentally disabled patients, including a 13-year-old boy they had placed in hospice care. Lawyers argued the boy would have recovered from pneumonia. The case was dismissed at the circuit court level, and in 2014, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals upheld that decision, putting an end to the lawsuit. Attorneys for Disability Rights Wisconsin argued that “parents had no right to direct the withholding or withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatment to their children who are not in” a persistent vegetative state. The court rejected the organization’s arguments that withholding of care violated the patients’ due process rights.

landslides it generates are indispensable to the party in statewide elections. Its presidential turnout in 2012 was nearly unmatched: 83% of voting-age citizens went to the polls. In Wisconsin, “Waukesha” is synonymous with Republican solidarity and electoral clout. Trump is badly underperforming here, according to polling this summer by the Marquette Law School. He runs 15 percentage points behind his party’s U.S. Senate candidate, incumbent Ron Johnson. Combining four surveys from June to late August, Trump led Clinton by just 45% to 32% in Waukesha — and more than one in five voters refused to express a preference. This is a county that President George W. Bush won by 35 percentage points in 2004, Mitt Romney won by 34 points in 2012 and GOP Gov. Scott Walker won by 46 points in 2014. “It’s a big problem,” Marquette pollster Charles Franklin said of Trump’s inability to crack 50% in this Republican bastion. The big question is whether these voters will “come home to Trump by Election Day,” he said, “even if they have real reservations.” Adam Neylon, 31, a Republican state lawmaker from the area, said the key stumbling block for Trump is trust. “There is a lot of unease at the really grass-roots, base level about our party’s nominee,” Ney-

number of celebrities. Her decision also drew pleas that she change her mind, including from adults with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Jen Bolen said in an interview in July that those critical of Jerika’s decision fail to understand the depth of medical intervention it’s taken for her to reach her teenage years. “I was fighting for my kid,” she said. “I never thought I’d be on this side of things.” Lucas said Jerika’s decision — and the support she’s received — is an important issue to the disability rights community. Those with disabilities have equal rights to child protection, which includes efforts to ensure parents are acting in their children’s best interests, she said. Though Jerika’s disease is progressive, it isn’t “acutely terminal,” Lucas said, and she questions whether simply withholding treatment would be sufficient to end her life quickly.

lon said. “He pivots all the time. It freaks people out.” In interviews, some GOP voters called their choices “laughable” and “scary.” Several who planned to vote for Trump termed him the “lesser of two evils.” Others called him “mean,” a “hot mess” and a “real good loose cannon.” Karla Fuller, 47, is typical of these voters — Republicans torn between their desire to cast a GOP ballot and defeat Clinton, and their alarm over Trump’s volatility and bombast. “You know there are days when I’m like, ‘OK, maybe now he’s on the right track,’ and then tomorrow comes, and I just put my head down and go, ‘Ugh, never mind,’ ” said Fuller, a veterinary technician interviewed at the city of Waukesha’s weekly Friday night music festival. “I wish the election was a lot further away than what it is.” GOP Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, who shares Waukesha County with House Speaker Paul Ryan, said Trump has two problems here. “The biggest problem is there are a number of Republicans that don’t want to vote because they don’t like Trump. If they don’t vote, that hurts down-ballot Republicans such as Sen. Johnson,” Sensenbrenner said. “The others are people who won’t vote for Trump but are (still) going to vote. Whether they vote for Mrs. Clinton or the Libertarian candidate (Gary Johnson) or just leave president blank or not, I think, remains to be seen.” Sensenbrenner, who has been in Congress for 37 years, said this election is a first for him. “Every other election … you see the Republican voters (here) united for the three top offices on the ballot: president or governor, Senate and Congress,” said the lawmaker, who voted against Trump in the Wisconsin primary but supports him in the general election. “That is not the case this year.” Even party leaders who are more boosterish about Trump acknowledge that the base isn’t that enthused about him. They’re counting on GOP voters who can’t stand Clinton and worry about the future makeup of the Supreme Court to do what they usually do in Waukesha: vote Republican in droves up and down the ballot. That’s vital for Trump because he trails Clinton by an average of 5 points in recent statewide polling.

“It doesn’t bother me that I don’t see a lot of enthusiasm,” said John Macy, chairman of the Waukesha County GOP. “These people vote. They don’t stay home. … There are a lot of people in Wisconsin who are never going to get excited about Trump, but I believe they are going to vote for Trump.” There is little question that Trump will carry this area. Clinton’s negative rating from Wisconsin Republicans has ranged from 94% to 98% in recent

Karla Fuller, a veterinary technician, says there are times in this election cycle when she just says, “Ugh, never mind.”

months. The question is whether Trump will pile up the massive vote margins his party needs in this county of roughly 400,000 people. In Marquette’s polling this summer, only 33% of the county’s voters viewed Trump favorably, while 59% viewed him unfavorably. Remarkably, those numbers were nearly as bad as Clinton’s in Waukesha.

“The difficulty is to win this state, if you have drop-off among Waukesha voters and southeast Wisconsin voters, you’ve got to make it up somewhere else,” said GOP strategist Stephan Thompson, a former director of the state party. “But where are you going to go to do that? And when your map is contracting, whether you’re talking about states or counties, you’ve got to more or less put up unprecedented numbers somewhere else.” That’s what happens when your worst numbers with Republicans are in the state’s reddest region. One liberal radio host in Wisconsin calls Waukesha and its neighboring counties the “Ring of Fire” for its GOP turnouts. But Trump lost Waukesha County by 39 points to Ted Cruz in the GOP primary. Local factors have played a role in his troubles. Trump has picked fights with Walker and Ryan, the state’s most popular Republicans. Walker is viewed favorably by 84% of Wisconsin’s GOP voters, Ryan by 82%. Trump has drawn flak from conservative talk radio. Polls suggest his signature issues of trade and immigration don’t resonate all that deeply in a region that is fairly prosperous, well-educated and pro-business. “It feels like an arranged marriage,” GOP strategist Brian Nemoir said of the relationship between Trump and Wisconsin’s Republican base. Waukesha is not an anomaly, either. It has a lot in common with other powerhouse GOP counties outside cities such as Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Charlotte. It’s a microcosm of Trump’s problems nationwide cementing the GOP vote. Most polls here and nationally suggest Democratic voters are more unified behind Clinton than Republican voters are behind Trump. Those divisions are more striking here because they’re so unfamiliar. “We have a strong Republican Party in Wisconsin, and we have a … fairly united Republican Party in Wisconsin,” said political scientist Lilly Goren of Carroll University in Waukesha. But that party “is having a very tortured time with the top of its ticket,” she said. Influential conservatives and high-profile Republicans have been all over the map on Trump. Party voters “are not getting clear signals,” Goren said.

Anti-Trump Republicans see the nominee as the antithesis of the deeply conservative but evenkeeled politicians they identify with, such as Walker and Ryan. Pro-Trump Republicans see GOP dissent over their nominee as disloyalty, or an indulgence the party and country can’t afford. “OK, you don’t like Donald Trump. Do you like Hillary Clinton? What’s your solution?” said Robin Moore, president of the Republican Women of Waukesha County, reciting her conversations with fence-sitting voters. Standing on her doorstep in Brookfield, GOP voter Gordana Tomasevic said it’s important to stick together. “We are strong Republicans,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s Trump or somebody else, that’s how we’re going to vote.” Most undecided Republicans interviewed here have heard those arguments. They’re wrestling with the consequences of not voting for Trump, which would mean a Clinton presidency. They’re also wrestling with their stubborn doubts about Trump’s political depth and consistency, along with his tone and temperament. “Having someone that is impulsive and somewhat volatile in that position is a scary thing,” voter Jessie Kiser said. The combination of Republican disdain for Clinton and conservative mistrust of Trump makes a place such as ultra-red Waukesha County a hub of political frustration this year. These are voters for whom going to the polls is almost a civic religion, but many are quick to volunteer how hard they’re finding it to cast a presidential vote. “It’s a tough year. I’m struggling,” Steve Lovelien, a commercial pilot, said. Retiree Jack Allen has closely followed Trump’s campaign shakeups and rhetorical pivots for signs that he might be settling down. “If, right after the convention, he would have kept his mouth shut, I think he would have been a lot further ahead than further behind,” he said. “I don’t want to vote for a third party, because obviously, that’s going to give Clinton the job.” Allen figures Trump is “90% of the way” toward nailing down his vote. “But he really has to be more democratic, or just easier,” he said, searching for the words to describe how Trump could reassure him. “I’m a Republican, but it is really tough to figure out where to go and what to do,” Allen said. “It’s not the easiest election I’ve been in.” Craig Gilbert writes for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Civilian safety drives plans to block ISIL U.S. military hopes to strike before militants can employ human shields Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

AL UDEID AIR BASE , QATAR

U.S. military commanders are drawing up plans to block Islamic State militants from using human shields to escape Mosul and other cities, as U.S.-backed ground forces prepare to expel them from their remaining strongholds in Iraq and Syria. “I think we need to be prepared for them to try to find ways to get out,” Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey L. Harrigian, commander in the Middle East, said in an interview at the air campaign’s headquarters here. U.S. commanders have been frustrated by tactics the militants have used to avoid annihilation — fleeing just as their defenses are about to collapse, a central part of the militants’ game plan. Last month, hundreds of fighters escaped Manbij in northern Syria by placing civilians in a con-

voy of 500 vehicles. Hundreds of militants were killed but several hundred escaped with weapons. The Pentagon said it didn’t fire on the convoy for fear of hitting civilians. Military planners said they will design surveillance and other intelligence to determine when militants will quit fighting and try to escape. That might allow U.S. aircraft to strike militants before they can grab civilians. For example, they are watching for militant commanders to order their fighters to flee, which might allow for pre-emptive strikes. “They are going to know when (Iraq’s military) is getting closer and then it will be: Are they going to get told to stand and fight or are they going to look for ways out,” Harrigian said. Islamic State tactics have followed a similar pattern — the militants inflict as many casualties as they can before they flee advances by U.S.-backed Iraqi or Syrian opposition forces. The 2015 battle to retake Ra-

madi lasted months and fighters filtered out of the city over time, as Iraqi forces closed in on them. The recent battle for Fallujah went more quickly, catching the militants unprepared. They were hammered by coalition airstrikes after drones determined there were no civilians accompanying them. Airstrikes in late June killed at least 348 militants and destroyed 200 vehicles in one of the biggest routs ofthe militants, according to Pentagon figures. In the Syrian city of Manbij, militants negotiated with opposition forces before leaving with hundreds of civilians. Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, is far more complex. About 6,000 militants are defending the city, where hundreds of thousands of civilians remain. Iraqi forces typically surround a city, leaving a corridor for civilians to flee.

VIENTIANE , LAOS President Obama said Tuesday the United States will double current funding and spend $90 million over the next three years to clear unexploded bombs dropped on Laos during the Vietnam War. “The spirit of reconciliation is what brings me here today,” said Obama, the first sitting U.S. president to visit Laos. “Given our history here, the U.S. has a moral obligation to help Laos heal.” Obama said he wants to make the two nations “whole again.” He offered no apologies, calling the covert bombing campaign and its aftermath reminders that “whatever the cause, whatever our intentions, war inflicts a terrible toll.” Obama made the announcement during a speech in the capital Vientiane, where he’s attending a series of Asian summit meetings this week on security, terrorism, natural disasters and other regional issues. “It’s more than we were expecting,” said Simon Rea, the Laos country director for the Mines Advisory Group, which helps people wounded by landmines and receives U.S. funding. “I think that it is a very significant move, and it will move us forward very quickly.” To help Laos, the United States has steadily increased its funding for removing unexploded bombs — from $2.5 million a decade ago to $15 million this year. A secret, nine-year U.S. bombing campaign aimed at blocking supplies to Vietnam and fighting communist forces in northern Laos left tens of millions of unexploded bombs in the countryside.

Between 1964 and 1973, the U.S. conducted 580,000 bombing missions over Laos, dropping 270 million cluster bombs on the officially neutral country. Obama said the bombardment on the small, landlocked nation was more than “we dropped on Germany and Japan, combined, in all of World War II.” An estimated 80 million of the baseball-sized cluster bombs — nearly a third of those dropped — failed to detonate. Less than 1% have been cleared, and more than 20,000 people have been killed or injured since the bombing ceased.

President Obama speaks about U.S.-Laos relations at the Lao National Cultural Hall in Vientiane on Tuesday. Kim Warren, head of mission at Handicap International Laos, praised the U.S. pledge of increased funding. “It’s great news for the sector and great news for Laos,” said Warren, whose group clears unexploded ordnance and helps those injured by bombs and mines. “It all comes down to securing funding for what we do.” The Laos government said Tuesday it would increase efforts to recover remains and account for Americans missing since the Vietnam War.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are close in a new CNN/ ORC national poll. But the Republican nominee has a slight edge with voters likely to head to the polls. Trump is ahead of Clinton 45%-43% among likely voters. That number is within the margin of error. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had the support of 7% of likely voters, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 2%. The lead is flipped among registered voters. Clinton had 44% support of registered voters, Trump had 41%, Johnson had 9%, and Stein came in with 3% backing. The majority of registered voters (59%) think Clinton will ultimately prevail. Meanwhile, 34% of registered voters think that Trump will win in November. — Eliza Collins OBAMA VOWS TO TIGHTEN NORTH KOREA SANCTIONS

President Obama vowed Tuesday to work with the United Nations to tighten sanctions against North Korea, a day after the rogue nation fired another round of ballistic missiles into the sea. “We are going to work together to make sure we’re closing loop-

holes and make them even more effective,” Obama told reporters after meeting with South Korean President Park Geun Hye at a summit in Laos. Later Tuesday, the U.N. Security Council issued a statement strongly condemning North Korea’s latest missile launch and threatening “further significant measures” if the reclusive nation refuses to stop its nuclear and missile tests. — Thomas Maresca GIANT PANDA OFF ENDANGERED LIST

Two revered but threatened mammals are experiencing vastly different fates in the wild, scientists say. Thanks to a rise in available habitat throughout China, the population of giant pandas rose 17% from 2004 to 2014, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) said, leading the group to move the panda off of its endangered species list. Meanwhile, IUCN downgraded the eastern gorilla, a victim of African civil wars and hunting, to “critically endangered.” Hunting also has contributed to a 70% decline in the past 20 years, IUCN said. The eastern gorilla population is estimated at fewer than 5,000, moving it from “endangered” to “critically endangered.” — Greg Toppo

VIENTIANE , LAOS Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday expressed regret for referring to President Obama with a vulgar expletive and said his nation seeks closer ties with the United States. The apology came one day after Duterte warned Obama not to question him about his country’s extrajudicial killings in a war on drugs. More than 2,000 suspected drug users and dealers have died since Duterte took office two months ago. On Monday, Duterte said Obama must not throw questions at him, or “son of a bitch, I will swear at you in that forum.” Duterte made the comments before arriving here that night for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit. The two leaders were to meet, but after Duterte’s comments, the White House canceled the meeting. “Clearly he’s a colorful guy,” Obama said Monday. When Duterte arrived in Laos that night, his tone had changed. “Washington has been so liberal about criticizing human rights, human rights and human rights. How about you? I have so many questions also about human rights to ask you. So … people who live in glass houses should not throw stones,” Duterte said, the Associated Press reported. Duterte later issued a formal statement. “While the immediate cause was my strong comments to certain press questions that elicited concern and distress, we also regret it came across as a personal attack on the U.S. president,” Duterte said in a statement. “Our primary intention is to chart an independent foreign policy while promoting closer ties with all nations, especially the U.S. with which we have had a long-standing partnership.”

Duterte declared a “state of lawlessness” in his country after an explosion Friday at a market in Davao City killed more than a dozen people during a presidential visit to the city where Duterte served as mayor for more than two decades. The region was under heightened security amid a military offensive against Abu Sayyaf, an

Islamic extremist group based in southwestern Philippines. The U.S. has been a major financial supporter of the Philippine military effort. Duterte took over as president vowing a war on drugs and threatening to “dump all of you (drug dealers) into Manila Bay, and fatten all the fish there.” He came under criticism from the United Nations and others for encouraging vigilante-style killings of drug dealers and was criminals. Duterte unmoved. “Maybe we’ll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations,” Duterte said. His statement Tuesday concerning Obama and the United States was high on compromise, low on bluster. “We look forward to ironing out differences arising out of national priorities and perceptions, and working in mutually responsible ways for both countries.” Bacon reported from McLean, Va.

Carlson’s harassment claim against Ailes shook up network Roger Yu

@ByRogerYu USA TODAY

The parent company of Fox News Channel, 21st Century Fox, apologized Tuesday to Gretchen Carlson as it agreed to pay $20 million to the former Fox broadcaster to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit she filed against Fox News’ then-CEO Roger Ailes, according to a person briefed on the settlement terms. The person requested anonymity because the settlement terms aren’t revealed publicly. In a rare and forceful corporate apology, 21st Century Fox also praised Carlson’s work at the company. “During her tenure at Fox News, Gretchen exhibited the

highest standards of journalism and professionalism,” the company said in a statement. “She developed a loyal audience and was a daily source of information for many Americans. We are proud that she was part of the Fox News team. We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve.” Though not named as a defendant in Carlson’s lawsuit, 21st Century Fox will pay the entire settlement sum, the person briefed on the terms said. Under Delaware law, 21st Century Fox was responsible for any damages in the case, the person said. Carlson said in a statement she was “gratified that 21st Century Fox took decisive action” after she filed her complaint. “I’m ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which I will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace.”

AILES BY ANDREW TOTH; NOAM GALAI, GETTY IMAGES

Fox News CEO Roger Ailes resigned after claims by former host Gretchen Carlson.

“I want to thank all the brave women who came forward to tell their own stories and the many people across the country who embraced and supported me in their #StandWithGretchen,” Carlson said, referring to her Twitter campaign. “All women deserve a dignified and respectful workplace in which talent, hard work and loyalty are recognized, revered and rewarded.” Since Carlson filed her lawsuit

in early July, other women have come forward with claims of sexual harassment at Fox News. And 21st Century Fox, controlled by billionaire mogul Rupert Murdoch, also has settled other claims, the person said, without specifying the number. Several other claims from nonFox employees who alleged they had been sexually harassed by Ailes date back to the 1970s and 1980s, prior to Ailes’ founding of Fox News. Their claims are subject to statutes of limitation. In her lawsuit, Carlson said her contract wasn’t renewed after she “refused to sleep” with Ailes and reported “severe and pervasive sexual harassment” at her workplace. After an internal investigation by 21st Century Fox, Ailes left the company in late July with a $40 million settlement. He has denied Carlson’s allegations. Ailes’ lawyer, Susan Estrich, declined to comment. The settlement is the latest ev-

Several prominent Fox broadcasters, including Greta Van Susteren, whose departure from the network was announced Tuesday, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo, Bill O’Reilly and Brit Hume came out in support of Ailes immediately after the lawsuit was filed. In mid-August, 21st Century Fox replaced Ailes by naming two internal executives — Jack Abernethy, CEO of Fox Television Stations; and Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of Fox News — as co-presidents of the news network. Tom Wassel, an employment attorney at law firm Cullen and Dykman, said the sum Carlson received is one of the largest settlements in sexual harassment cases and may reflect Fox’s eagerness to do damage control.

Apple Watch has sold well, but the wearables category itself hasn’t proved to be nearly as hot as projected.

JOSH EDELSON, AFP

Apple’s most impressive product to date — and one that reportedly has been taking the time of the company’s chief design officer, Jony Ive — isn’t available to consumers. A new spaceship-like headquarters is sprouting out of the flat Silicon Valley landscape not far from Apple’s current headquarters. It will house 13,000 employees in a 2.8-millionsquare-foot area. A Macworld report suggested Ive, the visionary artist behind the feel of the iPhone and the look of iOS fonts, was working on desks and chairs for the ground-breaking edifice. With $232 billion in cash, Apple has the bankroll to chart its

sometime. Their reputation can take it,” says David Hsu, professor of management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. All the while, Apple remains noticeably tight-lipped about its progress in hot tech categories such as virtual reality, artificial intelligence and self-driving cars. Google, Facebook, Uber and others, in contrast, have made pointed announcements about their vision in at least one of those pivotal categories. “Apple is not valued (by investors) on its innovation but on being a reliable company with excellent cash flow, one that Warren Buffett is investing in,” says John Sculley, who led Apple from 1983 to 1993 and whose investments now include low-cost smartphone maker Obi Worldphone. “In this stage of its life, Apple doesn’t have to be first in the market with a breakthrough,” adds Sculley. “But when they do

land with something, few companies are in a better position with both hard and soft services.” The company’s more cautious approach to launching blockbuster new product categories is reflected in the sentiments of four former or current Apple employees interviewed by USA TODAY. They describe a fulfilling, comfortable job that lacks the spark of the glory years of Jobs and increasingly rests on minor feature upgrades to the iPhone. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the company. Apple declined to provide an executive to discuss the company’s big-picture plans. A spokesperson did email a list of breakthrough tech from the past two years that included 2014’s 27inch iMac with Retina 5K display, last fall’s Live Photos and a host of Watch features such as its Taptic Engine and Digital Crown.

own course. In an interview last month with The Washington Post, Cook chastised analysts who grade the company quarterly. “We try to be very clear that we are making our decisions based on the long term,” he said. Although Apple’s market value has dropped 18% since mid-2015, its CEO’s tenure can’t really be faulted by investors who bought the stock at the start of Cook’s five-year tenure. Since 2011, Apple’s share price has jumped 102% to $108, revenue is up 104% to $220 billion and net income has grown 84% to $48 billion. “Jobs is a once-in-a-generational kind of guy, and Apple was a much smaller, more nimble company then,” says Angelo Zino, senior analyst with S&P Global Market Intelligence. “Cook is a better manager of a much larger company.” Contributing: Jefferson Graham

Top hoops recruit Ayton picks Arizona over KU By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Gregory Payan/AP Photo

DEANDRE AYTON SHOOTS A FREE THROW during the Under Armour Elite 24 game on Aug. 22 in Brooklyn, NY. Though many expected KU to be the No. 1 prospect’s choice of college, Ayton announced his intentions to play for Arizona Tuesday.

The Kansas basketball program’s long pursuit of No. 1 ranked prospect DeAndre Ayton ended Tuesday just after 5:20 p.m., when Ayton announced on ESPN’s SportsCenter that he was headed to Arizona. Ayton becomes the first No. 1 ranked player ever landed by Arizona, which won out over Kansas and Kentucky. Announcing his decision live on SportsCenter,

Ayton was asked where he was headed and, after a long pause, the 7-foot, 245-pound center from Phoenix’s Hillcrest Academy said, “I’m going to go to the University of Arizona.” With that, he slapped on a navy blue Arizona hat while teammates and friends cheered in the background behind him. “I made Arizona home, going to Hillcrest Prep, and my family and I can benefit from it by (them) coming to my games,” Ayton said on SportsCenter. “We really

trust (the Arizona coaches and) their program and I know that they can help me get to the next level.” The No. 1 prospect by Rivals.com and ESPN, as well as the composite No. 1 overall player in the 2017 class, according to 247 Sports, Ayton, who hails from the Bahamas — along with KU junior forward Dwight Coleby — made an unofficial visit to Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 23, watching the Jayhawks beat Texas, and followed it up by playing in a game at Lawrence Free State High

Double trouble FSHS pairing of Andrea Chen, Ali Dodd leads girls tennis at LHS quad

bnightengale@ljworld.com

ree State High senior Andrea Chen and junior Ali Dodd both qualified for the Class 6A girls tennis state tournament in doubles last season, but they were paired with different people. If Tuesday’s Lawrence High quadrangular at Rock Chalk Park was any indication of their future as doubles partners, so far, so good. Chen and Dodd won all three of their matches at No. 1 doubles, leading the Firebirds to a 3-0 record against Lawrence, Olathe South and Shawnee Mission South. Free State’s top doubles pairing won, 9-2, against Lawrence’s top doubles team, senior Natalie Cote and Chloe Thornton. Chen and Dodd both showcased their strong serves and net play, ending rallies with strong forehanded winners. “I’m really happy,” Dodd said. “I felt like our communication was really good. We just worked as a team out there. I think both of us are very satisfied with how we played today.” Dodd, who teamed with her older sister, Caitlin, for the past two seasons, said

against Wichita’s Sunrise Christian Academy, where he had 11 thunderous dunks on his way to 35 points, 21 rebounds and eight blocked shots. Because of KU’s status as the first team in on Ayton and the team that invested the most time recruiting him, many believed that Ayton would have a difficult time saying no to KU coach Bill Self and lead recruiter Kurtis Townsend. But the familiarity and

Jayhawks gaining newfound respect with gamblers By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas football team’s 49-point, seasonopening thrashing of visiting Rhode Island last weekend seems to have earned the Jayhawks some respect in the gambling world. But Chris Andrews, a veteran bookmaker with more than two decades of experience setting lines in Las Vegas, said he was not all that surprised by the recent activity surrounding KU’s Week 2 match-up with Ohio. Initially listed with Ohio being a nine-point favorite on Sunday night, the point spread, in about 24 hours, jumped the aisle and currently sits with Kansas as a three-point favorite. That’s a shift of nearly two touchdowns in 24 hours, a move that Andrews said surely was a reaction to each team’s result during Week 1. “Obviously, some people saw the Kansas victory last week and were greatly impressed,” Andrews said. “But the second week can be really funny. Bettors, bookmakers, you’re kind of walking on a bed of knives here because every year we’re always wrong on a certain number of teams, both good and bad.” With Kansas winning 55-6 and Ohio falling to Texas State at home in triple overtime, it’s easy to see why the betting public went on Kansas early. But Andrews said he expects that the number will come back closer to the middle by Saturday’s 1:30 p.m. kickoff — possibly with Ohio even becoming the favorite again — and, based on recent history, he believes that’s the right thing. “I happen to agree with the opening number,” said Andrews, now the Race & Sportsbook director at Las Vegas’ South Point Casino. “I thought that was a good number. Give Kansas their due, they obviously played a good game, but I do think the money will show back the other way eventually. That said, it won’t go back to nine.” Andrews also said the fact that the bulk of the movement happened on Sunday night — the line dropped from Ohio -9 to Ohio -1.5 in about 30 minutes — was not all that rare and that it did not take much to move a line on Sunday night because it traditionally is not a heavy action night. In fact, some books, including South Point, aren’t even

DALLAS COWBOYS RUNNING BACK EZEKIEL ELLIOTT (21) walks on the sideline during the first half of a preseason NFL football game against the Houston Texans on Thursday.

No charges in Elliott domestic violence case Columbus, Ohio — A prosecutor says charges won’t be filed against Dallas Cowboys rookie Ezekiel Elliott following domestic violence allegations. The office of Columbus City Attorney Richard Pfeiffer cites conflicting and inconsistent information in evidence supporting the filing of criminal charges. Pfeiffer’s office said it examined the credibility of all identified witnesses. Elliott’s agent Frank Salzano said Tuesday Elliott and his family were pleased with the outcome and Elliott looked forward to putting the issue behind him. A police report says Elliott, a running back who played at Ohio State, denied allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend in July, causing bruises and abrasions. Three witnesses told police they didn’t see Elliott assault the 20-year-old woman. Elliott says the woman got the bruises and abrasions in a bar fight. The NFL said it would conduct its own review of the matter, and spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday that is continuing.

game against Minnesota night in the sixth inning after he was hit on the right wrist during an atbat against Ervin Santana. Santana’s pitch ran in on Perez’s hands and hit him right on the wrist of his throwing hand. Perez leaped out of the batter’s box and crouched to his knees as he winced in pain. After several minutes Perez left the field and went back into the clubhouse for further examination. The Royals said he had a right wrist bruise. Perez has 20 home runs and 59 RBIs in 121 games for the defending champions, who started the day two games back of the second AL wild card spot.

Doesn’t matter to Caroline Wozniacki that she’s ranked 74th. Or that she didn’t win a Grand Slam match all year until she got to the U.S. Open. She was sure she was capable of another deep run at a major — and she was right. Wozniacki reached her fifth U.S. Open semifinal, and first at any Grand Slam tournament in two years, by beating an injured Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 6-0, 6-2 on Tuesday night. “I always believe in myself, no matter what Wozniacki my ranking,” said Wozniacki, who used to be No. 1. “I’ve beaten pretty much everyone in the draw before.” The 48th-ranked Sevastova twisted her right ankle on the opening point of the second game and clearly was hampered by that. During the changeover after the third game, a trainer examined and taped up the ankle during a medical timeout. “I’ve rolled my ankle several times, and even this year, I was out for three months with a sprained ankle. So I feel real sorry for her,” Wozniacki said in an on-court interview in Arthur Ashe Stadium. “It happened early in the match, and then I kept kind of just pushing her back and tried to make her move.” Wozniacki, twice the runnerup at Flushing Meadows, will meet No. 2 Angelique Kerber in Thursday’s semifinals. It’s been quite a resurgence for Wozniacki, who lost in the first round of the Australian Open, missed the French Open with that bum ankle, and lost in the first round of Wimbledon.

LHS volleyball stays undefeated on home court cduderstadt@ljworld.com

The Jungle has treated Lawrence High’s volleyball team well to start the 2016 campaign, as the Lions rattled off three more wins Tuesday in their home gym by defeating Rossville, Topeka High and Washburn Rural. The Lions also defeated Basehor-Linwood and Ottawa at home on Thursday after falling to Blue Valley Northwest on the road in their season opener. “It was a fantastic night. I don’t know how to describe it,” Lawrence High coach Stephanie Magnuson said of Tuesday’s quadrangular. “They showed a lot of grit, and they did last Thursday as well. They’re just showing that they can compete.” Junior Katelyn Mask led the Lions in their two-set sweep of Rossville (25-14, 25-15). With the first set deadlocked at 12-12 after a 6-0 Rossville run, Mask came up with a kill and two aces as the Lions responded with a 6-0 spurt of their own on the way to winning 13 of the last 15 points. Mask had a team-high nine kills against the Bulldogs, and was tied with sophomore Baylee Unruh for a LHS-best 23 winners for the quad. Unruh and Mask are both in their first full season of varsity action, and have embraced the challenge to compete at the highest level. “It really gives you confidence to know that you can step up from JV straight to varsity and starting like we both did,” Mask said. “We played together last year and we’ve both stepped up. It’s been great. It’s helped every-

open for the following week’s games on Sundays because Andrews said that was a prime time for “phony moves” in which bettors try to move a line one way so they can bet it even harder the other way later in the week. Andrews said the 12-point swing in the KUOhio line was not the craziest he had seen during his years in the business. Asked to recall the most incredible change he could, Andrews said that was difficult. “I can’t remember one because there’s always crazy stuff on Sunday night, particularly the second week of the season,” he said. “But it’s certainly one to take notice of and it is one of the bigger ones. But it’s not unprecedented, especially in the second week of the season.”

Ready for the weekend Kansas football coach David Beaty said Tuesday that the lingering effects from Saturday’s

comfort of staying close to home won out and Ayton seemed relieved that the process was done. “It’s been rough, to be honest,” he said after picking the Wildcats. “Phone call after phone call, trying to do homework, staying in the gym. My mom and I just stayed level-headed and (tried to) be down to earth with things.” Missing out on Ayton certainly qualifies as a blow to KU’s recruiting efforts in the 2017 class.

BRIEFLY Veritas sweeps MDCV tri

By Chris Duderstadt

Melvern — The Veritas Christian volleyball team swept a triangular at Marais des Cygnes Valley High on Tuesday, beating Topeka Cornerstone (25-16) and MDCV (25-17, 21-25, 25-18). The Eagles (6-3) will play host to Kansas City (Kan.) East and Bishop Seabury in a triangular on Sept. 13.

The Lions were able to brush off the firstset collapse, though, as they went on to turn back the Trojans in three sets (23-25, 25-16, 25-22). Sophomore libero Lauren Maceli came up with back-to-back aces late in the third set against the Trojans and joined Mask and Unruh with doubledigit digs in the win over Topeka High with 14. “We trust her back there. She gets almost everything up,” Unruh said of Maceli said. “She doesn’t let up on balls. She’s pretty much our back row.” The Lions’ three-set victory over the Trojans set up a tilt against Washburn Rural for the chance to stay undefeated on

their home court. Rural entered the season ranked No. 8 in the Kansas Volleyball Coaches Association preseason poll, but the young Lawrence High team was not fazed, as the Lions swept the Junior Blues (26-24, 25-21). “Washburn has always been really good,” Mask said. “It was really nice to beat them.” Maceli, Mask and Unruh set the tone defensively again with 15, 14 and 12 digs, respectively. Mask and Maceli tied for the team lead in digs in the quad with 40 digs, and Unruh was close behind with 36. Along with her 12 digs, Unruh also added 12 kills in the Lions’ final match. Magnuson felt the versatile play of the LHS sophomore was indicative of how her team performed as a whole. “All of our players are well-rounded players. They aren’t just one position,” Magnuson said.

55-6 victory over Rhode Island have done wonders for KU’s preparation heading into this week’s 1:30 p.m. kickoff against Ohio on Saturday. “Obviously, there is some momentum coming off of that,” Beaty said. “Lot more smiles walking in that building and a lot more hop in their step so to speak when we got to the practice field (Monday) which was good to see.... I thought the practice was spirited. I thought the energy was really good, and I thought their attention from Week 1 to Week 2, with the scouting report that we were putting together for this team, was really good. I think it’s motivated them and driving those guys. So they like the taste and so do we. So we’re going to keep working to try to earn another one.” Beaty said the hope for that was greater than ever because of the progress he and his coaching staff saw during the Week 1 win. Whether it showed up in receivers making catches and securing the ball the proper way,

other wideouts blocking down field or offensive linemen playing with proper technique and pad level, Beaty said the opener provided plenty of evidence that his team was improving. “It’s like we talked about the other day, a great start makes for a great finish,” Beaty said. “And we put a lot of emphasis (on that). There were some good carry over, and those are things that you like to see.”

“They can play anywhere ... and they can play all around the court.” Lawrence High and Rural were knotted at 2121 late in the second set, but the Lions won the final four points — with the final one coming after a block from sophomore Brooke Wroten that rolled across the top of the net and eventually to the Junior Blues side of the floor. “I think it will help boost our confidence a lot because we’re kind of a smaller and younger team,” Mask said of beating a top-10 ranked team. “Just the fact that we have the confidence and the encouragement of each other as teammates to push each other and do better really helps.” The Lions will try to carry over their winning ways on the road Thursday at the Olathe South quad against the host Falcons, Shawnee Mission West and SM South.

fensive end Isaiah Bean. “There were a few others that we thought were going to help us, but their week of practice went downhill so they didn’t help us at all. So it was a great lesson for a bunch of guys that had opportunities to play Saturday but they didn’t get to play because the week started getting a little bit tough for them. So I think they learned hard lessons because you go through that camp and the grind and things start getting Freshman initiation tough on you.

their state experience is definitely a help. Plus, Dodd and Chen play similar styles so they know what they can expect out of their partner on the court. “Andrea and I are super good friends,” Dodd said. “I think the whole team, we’ve all been working this summer together, so we’ve kind of bonded a lot. We’re all pretty close and that helps.” Along with Chen and Dodd, Free State sophomore Gabby Gorman and freshman Anna Peard went undefeated at No. 2 doubles. It was the first time Gorman and Peard teamed up in doubles and they fought back from a 5-2 deficit against Lawrence’s Caitlynn Kliem and Kerrena Peterson by winning the next seven games for a 9-5 victory. Last week, Gorman played No. 2 singles at the

season Tuesday, beating Burlingame during its home triangular at Seabury. The Seahawks (1-6) topped Burlingame in three sets, 13-25, 25-18, 25-21, after losing to Lebo, 2830, 25-14, 25-14. Lindsey Hornberger led Seabury with 14 kills in the victory while Celia Puckett added nine kills and 10 digs. In the three-set loss to Lebo, Hornberger had 10 kills and 21 digs, Puckett finished with five kills and 44 digs, setter Sophia Ostlund had 34 assists and Britain Hamm added 11 digs. Seabury will return to the court Friday for a home triangular against Bishop Ward and Immaculata. team’s season opener and said it wasn’t too difficult adjusting to doubles. “It’s a different sort of pressure when you’re with a teammate because you’re together and if you miss, then it’s for both of you, not just on yourself,” Gorman said. In singles, Free State sophomores Kate Piper and Andie Veeder won two of their three matches. Lawrence posted an 0-3 record in the quadrangular, but junior Chisato Kimura won all three of her matches at No. 2 singles. Kimura doesn’t dominate her opponents with a strong serve or groundstrokes. Instead she simply keeps the ball in play until her opponent makes a mistake. “Coach (Chris Marshall) always tells me that I need to move my feet,” Kimura said. “When I do, my playing gets a lot better.” Both schools will play in tournaments Saturday. The Lions will travel to Emporia and Free State will play at Salina Central.

overall product. In fact, the second-year KU coach said Tuesday that for all of the good things that happen for the Jayhawks during Saturday’s season-opening victory, there also were more than a few areas in which Kansas still could improve. “The penalties that we took are inexcusable, and that’s not just on the players; that’s on us as coaches,” Beaty said. “A couple things that happened throughout that game, man, those are things if they don’t bother you, there’s got to be something wrong with you.

They didn’t do anything extraordinary. All they did is play by the rules. That’s why I love the offense that we run. I believe in it. The thing that I saw is their eyes when they came to the sideline when they said, ‘Hey, man, the thing coach is telling me is right. I’ve got the answers to the test. And they pushed us so hard. They told us it was going to be easier in the game.’ And that’s what Montell said, and he was like, ‘Coach, man, you were right. It slowed down for me out there.’”

Thursday – Saturday, September 8, 9, 10 Jayhawks now will have to move on to plan B for a big man in the guardheavy 2017 class. The Jayhawks are still involved with several of the top forwards and centers in the Rivals Top 50 and will likely schedule visits — both in-home and on campus — with a few of them in the coming days. As for Ayton’s future, in addition to being touted as a likely Top 5 draft pick — if not No. 1 overall — in the 2018 NBA Draft, the 18-year-old big man said on Tuesday that heading overseas to play until he becomes eligible for the NBA was not on his agenda. “No. Not at all,” he said. “College is a must.”

Royals blast Twins

American League

The Associated Press

American League Royals 10, Twins 3 Minneapolis — Kendrys Morales had two home runs, including a three-run blast in Kansas City’s seven-run ninth inning that propelled the Royals to a 10-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night. Morales hit a two-run shot in the first inning to help the Royals overcome the loss of catcher Salvador Perez, who left the game with a right wrist contusion after he was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning. Brian Dozier hit his 39th home run of the season for the Twins, moving him into a tie with Rogers Hornsby (twice) and Alfonso Soriano for fourth-most home runs by a second baseman in a season. He has homered in five straight games, tying Harmon Killebrew and Marty Cordova for the longest streak in Twins history. Former Twin Drew Butera’s bases loaded single off Brandon Kintzler (0-2) broke a 3-3 tie and got the Royals rolling in the ninth. Paulo Orlando added a two-run single and Eric Hosmer also drove in a run before Morales hit his 25th homer into the bullpen in center field. The Royals started the day two games behind the second wild card in the AL, but with five teams ahead of them. The margin of error is getting slimmer by the day, and a loss to the team with the worst record in the majors certainly would not have helped their cause. After giving up three homers to Dozier on Monday night, Royals starter Dillon Gee fell behind 0-2 in the first inning and left a fastball up in the zone. Dozier hit it an estimated 395 feet into the second deck in left field, giving him 25 home runs since the AllStar break. Three of those were hit as a DH, but his 22 as a second baseman surpassed Hall of Famer Joe Gordon’s 21 for the most ever by an American League second baseman. Trevor Plouffe and Eddie Rosario also hit solo homers for Minnesota. Gee gave up three runs and eight hits and struck out two in six innings. Kelvin Herrera (24) pitched one inning for the win. Ervin Santana gave up three runs and three hits with three walks and six strikeouts in six innings for Minnesota. Gee’s Start Gee gave up three runs and eight hits and struck out two in six innings. Kelvin Herrera (24) pitched one inning for the win. Yost said he thought he might have to get a tired bullpen up early when Gee served up long balls to Dozier, Trevor Plouffe and Eddie Rosario in the first two innings. But the right-hander settled in after that and allowed just two hits over the final four innings before yielding to the bullpen. “Everything he was throwing was elevated in the zone and his location was off but after the second inning he came in and made an adjustment and got in a groove and did a phenomenal job of getting us through six innings and keeping us right there in the game,” Yost said.

Yankees 7, Blue Jays 6 New York — Brett Gardner made a leaping catch at the top of the left-field wall on Justin Smoak’s bases-loaded drive for the final out, and New York held on during a nervy ninth inning to beat the AL East-leading Toronto. A scrambly September game with October implications seesawed to the last swing, and turned Roster Moves at the end in favor of the Royals: Recalled INF Yankees. New York won Christian Colon and seits third in a row and sent lected the contracts of

Toronto to its fourth loss in five games. At a season-high seven games over .500, the Yankees closed within 4 games of first place, their smallest deficit since April, and remained 3 back for the AL’s second wild card. The Blue Jays had already scored twice in the ninth off Dellin Betances when they loaded the bases with one out. Blake Parker, the eighth New York pitcher, suddenly became an unlikely closer, and he struck out Kevin Pillar. Smoak was up next, and he hit a drive to deep left. Gardner ran back, jumped and corralled the ball at the top of the padding. He immediately leaped in the air to celebrate as the Yankees rushed out to congratulate him. A few minutes later, a replay of the catch drew another ovation from the fans.

Use your cherry tomatoes By Katie Workman Associated Press

End the summer with a bang and be reminded how the best and simplest ingredients produce the most magical results.

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes with Burrata and Basil Oil Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 8 as appetizer

Sara Moulton/AP Photo

Ingredients 1 1/2 pounds cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 cup fresh basil leaves 1/4 cup fresh parsley 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 balls burrata cheese (about 1/2 pound each), at room temperature Crusty bread to serve Directions Preheat the oven to 300 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Place the tomatoes on the baking sheet and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 30 minutes, until wrinkly and slightly collapsed. Meanwhile, make the basil oil: Place the basil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pep-

per in a food processor, and pulse several times to roughly chop. With the motor running, add 1/2 cup of the olive oil. Scrape down the sides of the food processor and process again. Transfer the tomatoes to a platter along with any juices that they have released, and let cool to barely warm or room temperature. When ready to serve, cut each burrata in half and nestle the cheese among the tomatoes, making sure not to lose any of the creamy filling. You may want to add a bit more salt and pepper. Drizzle about half the basil oil over the tomatoes and cheese and serve with the crusty bread, and the rest of the basil oil on the side for extra drizzling.
