ADDING SOME ATMOSPHERE City leaders to focus on long-term planning By Rochelle Valverde rvalverde@ljworld.com

At their work session on Tuesday, members of the Lawrence City Commission will learn more about a new strategic planning process that is meant to plot the course for the city’s future. City leaders say the process will involve both commissioners and the public. “This is going to take not only a big effort on staff but also a huge effort on the community,” Commissioner Lisa Larsen said. “They’re CITY going to actually help COMMISSION us do some framework for filling in what we want this city to look like in the future and how we want to go about meeting that future goal.” The city recently hired a new city manager, and one of the tasks listed in the city’s advertisement of the position was for the new manager to help facilitate the creation of a strategic plan. New City Manager Tom Markus recently told the Journal-World that having a plan developed provides connectivity for commissioners and city staff, especially with the potential for turnover of half the commission every two years. Instead of reacting to the “crisis of the day,” a strategic plan helps elected officials prioritize all of the requests for the improvements that the city has on the table, he said. As part of the Tuesday work session, commissioners will receive a presentation that outlines what a strategic plan is and how it is used. The presentation defines strategic planning as a systematic process for developing a vision for a community’s future by creating specific,

with a different type of puzzle: quilts. And more recently, doll clothes. That is to say, makes them. And now her art is on display alongside her coworkers’ art inside the Michael J. Malone Douglas County Law Library. The library’s exhibit, which is inside the Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St., will be open through September, said Kerry Altenbernd, the library’s sole staff member. Altenbernd said Malone, a former Douglas County District Court Judge and the library’s namesake, kept artwork in his chambers and outer office and in 2004 he suggested showing some artwork in the library. Before then, the walls were bare, Altenbernd said. “It lightens up the library,” Altenbernd said. “Having something nice on the walls helps the mood in here, I think. It brightens the place up.” For years, the library — which is open to attorneys 24 hours a day — rotated art exhibits monthly and then every other month, Altenbernd said. It’s served as a good entry-level opportunity for budding artists, he said. “We don’t have as

much traffic as the Lawrence Arts Center, but we have quite a bit of foot traffic in here,” Altenbernd said. “And most of the time the pieces are for sale.” And then in 2011, a group within the LEC came up with the idea of hosting an exhibit featuring the art of those who work in the building, Altenbernd said. The building houses the District Attorney’s Office, the Lawrence Police Department and more. “There are a lot of people that work here with varying backgrounds and varying jobs,” he said, “and it just built from there.” This year’s LEC employee exhibit, which is also open to the family members of employees, is the library’s second. An avid runner, Boeck said she first began making quilts when her race T-shirts began piling up and she didn’t know what to do with them. So she took a class and fashioned the shirts into a quilt. The hobby stuck. Then in 2011, when the new type of art exhibit was underway, Altenbernd approached Boeck, she said. “I guess I had a quilt down in my office he saw once, and he asked me if I’d be interested in having a display in the building,” she said. “And people really liked them. It’s even gotten me some business.” Now, alongside

Boeck’s quilts and small dolls’ clothes hanging on the wall, the library boasts paintings and even a bit of woodwork. “It’s kind of fun to learn more about other people’s work and how talented they are,” Boeck said. “You don’t really know some of that about your coworkers until they do something like that.” Altenbernd said the artwork often sparks discussions amongst the library’s patrons, giving conversations a break from the often-technical legal jargon. “It’s good to have people talking about things that aren’t necessarily just what the library is about,” he said. “Everybody has their own particular opinion of art, which is good.” Boeck said there’s one particular piece of art, a charcoal piece, that she finds particularly interesting. The work was created by the father of a woman who works on another floor, she said. And although the two don’t bump into each other very often, the next time they do they’ll have something to talk about. The law library is open to the public from noon to 3 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

would agree — that we are still in a critical state with unsafe roads and bridges, drastic loss of construction jobs, and a continuous depletion of transportation funding, the equivalent of $1 million a day, by our current administration.” The state’s current highway program, known as T-Works, is a 10-year, $8 billion program established in 2010. It is funded with a combination of state and federal motor fuel taxes, as well as about $500 million a year in general state sales tax revenues. Among the projects being funded by that program are the South Lawrence Trafficway extension and the Johnson County “Gateway” Project at the junction of Interstates 35 and 435 and Kansas Highway 10. By law, motor fuel taxes may only be used for transportation projects. But since the enactment of massive tax cuts in 2012, the Brownback administration has routinely swept large amounts of sales tax money out of the fund to shore up the state general fund. In April, after announcing that another $185

million would be swept out of the highway fund in fiscal years 2016 and 2017, KDOT announced that 25 highway projects, including 15 expansion and modernization projects, that were slated to begin later in the T-Works plan were being delayed. Also during the 2016 session, the administration proposed repealing the statute that sets aside a certain percentage of sales tax revenue for the highway program so the governor and Legislature could decide each year how much, if any, would be used for highways. Budget director Shawn Sullivan noted at the time that previous administrations have raided the highway fund as well. He argued that sales taxes are a form of general revenues that belong to the state, and eliminating that law earmarking part of that revenue for highways would eliminate the perception that the state was taking money that didn’t belong to it. That bill, however, failed to pass out of committee.

highway system and I’m proud the numbers show that’s what we’ve continued to deliver,” Carlson said. “The performance scores are well above the targets for both interstate and non-interstate roads, and we intend to continue to provide a system that protects the health and economic well-being of Kansans.” The highway program, however, has become a contentious political topic in recent years as Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration has repeatedly dipped into the highway fund for hundreds of millions of dollars to make up for revenue shortfalls in the state general fund. “There are a lot of facts and figures in KDOT’s report and on the surface it appears to be great news for Kansas and our highway system,” said Bob Totten, executive vice president of the Kansas Contractors Association. “However,” he said, “the fact remains — and we believe most Kansans

When the Lawrence school board meets tonight, its members will be asked to lend their support to a local initiative aimed at raising the tobacco sales age from 18 to 21 in Lawrence. Spearheaded locally by the community health coalition LiveWell Lawrence, Tobacco 21 is a nationwide movement that encourages policymakers to increase the legal age at which individuals can purchase tobacco and nicotine products. So far, according to a report by LiveWell Lawrence, 160 cities in 12 states have adopted ordinances to raise that age to 21. Chris Tilden, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s community health director, said an endorsement from the Lawrence school b o a r d w o u l d Tilden mark a logical step in the right direction for the local Tobacco 21 efforts. If the school board votes to endorse the initiative, which would likely take place at the next meeting after tonight’s, it would join the ranks of several local agencies, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Health Care Access, Just Food and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. “We know, as with any policy debate in our

“

If you make it to 21, you’re unlikely to start (smoking). What we’re trying to do is make it unlikely that they’ll start before they’re 21, in which case it’s unlikely that they’ll start in their lifetime.”

community, that we want to create as many allies as possible behind ideas that we believe can increase and improve the health of the public,” Tilden said. “When we’re talking about youth, the school district is a key player.” Although only a small fraction of the Lawrence public school students are of legal smoking age, Tilden said, studies suggest that many underage smokers receive tobacco products from friends who might be slightly older — 18- or 19-year-olds, for example, who may be legally old enough to buy these products but young enough to still travel in the same social circles. Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers report trying their first cigarette by age 18, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “If you make it to 21, you’re unlikely to start,” Tilden said of smoking. “What we’re trying to do is make it unlikely that they’ll start before they’re 21, in which case it’s unlikely that they’ll start in their lifetime.”

interrelated steps to arrive at that future. Those steps are part of budgeting and business plans, and a process is in place to measure and assess progress.

some details about the new venture, which will be at Eighth and Pennsylvania in the refurbished stone building that sits near the corner. The restaurant will be called Bon Bon, and it is promising to have a menu unlike any other in Lawrence. “We’re doing something different, but we think Lawrence likes different,” said Simon Bates, who owns the business along with his wife Codi Bates. How different? Well, one month the restaurant may have a heavy dose of Austrian and German food, and the next month — or maybe even the next week — the restaurant may have a lot of French dishes. (There is a history lesson in there somewhere.) Or maybe there is a simpler way to illustrate how the restaurant will be different. One of the restaurant’s appetizers is likely to be something called a takoyaki. Think of it as an octopus fritter topped with Japanese mayo, a Japanese barbecue sauce, pickled ginger, and other ingredients that I don’t know how to spell. (I missed the Japanese episode of HGTV because I have no idea how you get an octopus in a fritter.)

of what a strategic plan is, they will discuss what is needed to move forward for the commission and the public. She said the strategic plan will go beyond Horizon 2020, a policy guide first drafted in 1991 that identifies the community’s goals for directing future land use decisions. “I envision it being a document that’s going to be driven by the citizens and it’s going to tell us how they want us to grow in the future,” Larsen said. “How they want us as a city to function in the future and outline specific steps on how we reach

that long-term goal.” City staff members are recommending the City Commission create the plan over a period of six meetings, with the goal of completing it by mid-March 2017 so it can inform the next budget process. The recommendation is that the commission then revisit the plan in November 2017 and every two years thereafter. City commissioners meet at 5:45 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

likely won’t take place at this week’s meeting. “In a general sense, I think — and we’ll find out (tonight) — we support any type of initiative that … looks at trying to limit tobacco usage among young people to help mitigate or minimize the amount of people that get addicted to nicotine as they get older,” Harmon said. In other business, the school board will hear an update from Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of innovation and technology, on the rollout of mobile devices in Lawrence middle schools. The school board will also vote to approve the real estate contract

between Douglas County and the school district. The contract, if approved, would see the exchange of a former Douglas County Public Works site at 711 E. 23rd St., plus $500,000 from the school district to the county, for the district’s facilities and operations property at 146 Maine St. The school board meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive. The regular meeting will be preceded by the school board’s goalsetting work session, slated for 5 to 6:45 p.m.

Bates said he had a takoyaki out of a street cart in Japan and immediately determined it was one of the five best dishes he had ever had. That’s how much of the menu at Bon Bon is being determined. Bates is making dishes that he really likes to eat, and the menu will change frequently because he wants to make dishes that correspond to the season of their ingredients. “I have traveled a little bit and learned about food that I like but is not really available in Lawrence,” Bates said. The restaurant has a garden across the street that has produced a lot of cabbage for sauerkraut, so German food will be among the first features of the menu when the bistro opens this fall. Also look for dishes with homemade pickles, heirloom vegetables, squash and some Korean eggplant that all come from the garden. The menu will include some standard items that will be available all year. That includes a large selection of salad bowls, including Mediterranean, Thai and Japanese varieties, several grab-and-go breakfast items, wraps, sandwiches and other dishes good for a quick lunch. Also look for dishes that feature fried chicken with a multitude of sauces and steamed buns. “We’re really proud of our buns,” Bates said.

The restaurant will have a liquor license and does plan to stay open into the evening with beer, wine and liquor selections. The vibe of the restaurant will be casual and also small. The old stone building — which until recently was a duplex but historically was a storage facility for gunpowder when the area really was a warehouse district — is so small that it doesn’t have a kitchen. Instead, Bates has installed a complete kitchen in a large truck that will sit permanently on the site and be connected to the building. The remodeling work also has involved building a large patio for the building. It will be equipped with a canopy, fans, heaters and other such devices to make it as much of an all-weather patio as possible. The building itself has room for about 40 diners. Bates said he’s pleased with how the project has gone thus far, although it has taken several months to develop. “It is such a neat building,” Bates said. “It has taken some time because we’re trying to put as much detailed work into the building as we can.” Look for the restaurant to open by the end of the month, Bates said.

HARPER KALAR-SALISBURY, 15, OF LAWRENCE, CONJURES UP A LARGE SOAP BUBBLE Sunday in a children’s play area of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Fall Arts and Crafts Festival. With the mild late-summer weather, the event drew a good crowd to shop for arts and crafts, listen to music, eat at the food booths and enjoy other activities.

BRIEFLY 2 injured, 1 suspect killed outside Shawnee Wal-Mart Shawnee (ap) — Two people were critically injured and a good Samaritan killed a suspect during a confrontation in the parking lot of a suburban Kansas City Wal-Mart. Police said the incident Sunday afternoon in Shawnee began when two suspects hit a woman in the head from behind as she was putting her child in her car. Shawnee police Maj. Dan Tennis says a person in the parking lot who tried to help was shot several times. Another good Samaritan then shot one of the suspects, who died at the scene. The second suspect fled but was caught near the store. The female victim and the other

person who was shot were both hospitalized in critical condition. Tennis said a motive for the initial attack on the woman is not yet clear.

EDITORIALS

Questions about purchasing The city’s new policy is meant to promote efficiency, but it may do so at the price of accountability.

he city of Lawrence’s new purchasing policies raise concerns about accountability and transparency. City commissioners last week approved changes to the city’s purchasing policies to make it possible for the city to spend up to $50,000 on goods and services without seeking bids. Department heads can approve spending up to $25,000 without getting city manager approval and only purchases of $100,000 or more will require city commission approval. Also, change orders to contracts with city vendors will need City Commission approval only if they exceed $50,000. The changes are meant to speed up processes and improve efficiency. City commissioners will spend less time approving bids, and staff members who prepare the agendas for the commission will spend less time processing those agenda items. “We do spend an awful lot of time and money doing a lot of paperwork based on an old policy,” said Bryan Kidney, the city’s finance director. Previously, the City Commission approved spending above $15,000. Kidney said in the past 12 months there were approximately 180 purchase items on the City Commission agenda. Of those, about 140 were under the $100,000 threshold. Commissioner Stuart Boley, a retired auditor with the Internal Revenue Service, said he is content with the new checks in place. “I think that’s a legitimate way of doing things,” Boley said. “I was an auditor, and we used to do statistical sampling. I think it’s a thoughtful approach, and I think the tradeoff is how are we best using staff time.” While it is understandable that city staff wants to save time and be more efficient, aren’t city commissioners first and foremost supposed to be accountable for how local taxpayers’ money is spent? Is turning over 75 percent of purchasing decisions to city staff the best way to do that? Seeking RFPs on the purchase of goods and services is time consuming, but it ensures competitive pricing. Numerous significant purchases can be made below $50,000 — vehicles, office furniture, appliances, etc. It doesn’t seem fair to vendors or taxpayers to not publicly seek and award bids on such purchases. Commissioners are elected to ensure city services are provided at a reasonable cost to taxpayers and that taxpayers’ money is spent properly. Reducing the checks and balances on city spending decisions doesn’t seem to be a move in the right direction.

IRS commissioner merits impeachment Washington — Republican congressional leaders ardently want conservative members of the House to not force a vote on impeaching the IRS commissioner. The public does not care about John Koskinen’s many misdeeds. And impeachment will distract attention from issues that interest the public. And because Democrats are not ingrates, the required two-thirds of the Senate will never vote to convict Koskinen, whose behavior continues the pattern of doing what Democrats desire with the most intrusive and potentially punitive government agency. These Republican leaders’ reasons are cumulatively unpersuasive. Resuscitating the impeachment power would contribute to revitalizing Congress’ Article I powers. Impeachments are rare — no appointed official of the executive branch has been impeached in 140 years. But what James Madison called the “indispensable” power to impeach should not be allowed to atrophy, as has Congress’ power to declare war. Here are a few pertinent facts. At the IRS, Exempt Organizations Director Lois Lerner participated in delaying for up to five years — effectively denying — tax-exempt status for, and hence suppressing political advocacy by, conservative groups. She retired after refusing to testify to congressional committees, invoking the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination. Koskinen, who became commissioner after Lerner left, failed to disclose the disappearance of emails germane to a congressional investigation of IRS

Refusing to impeach Koskinen would continue the passivity by which members of Congress have become, in Turley’s words, ‘agents of their own obsolescence.’” misbehavior. Under his leadership, the IRS failed to comply with a preservation order pertaining to an investigation. He did not testify accurately or keep promises made to Congress. Subpoenaed documents, including 422 tapes potentially containing 24,000 Lerner emails, were destroyed. He falsely testified that the Government Accountability Office’s report on IRS practices found “no examples of anyone who was improperly selected for an audit.” In June testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, Jonathan Turley of the George Washington University Law School noted that the Obama administration stands accused of “effectively weaponizing the IRS.” And the Koskinen controversy comes as Congress “is facing an unprecedented erosion of its authority visa-vis the executive branch.” The “increasing obstruction and contempt displayed by federal agencies in congres-

sional investigations reflects the loss of any credible threat of congressional action. Congress has become a paper tiger within our tripartite system — a branch that often expresses outrage, yet fails to enforce its constitutional authority.” The Koskinen controversy, Turley said, “falls at the very crossroads of expanding executive power, diminishing congressional authority, and the rise of the Fourth Branch,” which consists of “federal agencies that exercise increasingly unilateral and independent powers.” As Turley noted (and as Hillary Clinton can ruefully attest), “private litigants like Judicial Watch” are nowadays more successful than Congress in prying information from the executive branch. And (as the Lerner case illustrates) “the administration has effectively foreclosed avenues like the referral of criminal contempt and other sanctions that should be imposed for providing misleading statements to Congress.” As a means of controlling the executive, the power of the purse “has become something of a constitutional myth.” This is particularly true now that Congress, inept at producing 12 appropriations bills, forfeits its leverage by funding the government indiscriminately with omnibus bills and continuing resolutions. So, Congress is left with impeachment as the only “functional deterrence for executive overreach.” The Constitution authorizes impeachment for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Madison favored this language and interpreted it to include “maladministra-

tion,” which surely encompasses perjury and obstruction of Congress. The idea that an IRS commissioner is not a high enough official for impeachment ignores, Turley says, “the realities of the modern regulatory state.” Commissioners have authority over 90,000 employees collecting $2.5 trillion in revenues annually. Andrew C. McCarthy, former federal prosecutor and Justice Department official, reminded the Judiciary Committee that “the point of the Constitution’s vesting of all executive power in a single official, the president, is precisely to make the president accountable for all executive branch conduct.” And impeachment of a subordinate official, far from being a radical remedy, is much less drastic than impeaching the president or defunding the official’s agency. One of the articles of impeachment filed by the House against Richard Nixon was that he, “acting personally and through his subordinates” (emphasis added), had “endeavored” to use the IRS to violate Americans’ rights, causing IRS actions “to be initiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.” If presidents are, as McCarthy says, “derivatively responsible” for misconduct by executive branch subordinates, surely those officials are responsible for their own misconduct and that of underlings. Refusing to impeach Koskinen would continue the passivity by which members of Congress have become, in Turley’s words, “agents of their own obsolescence.”

Topeka police violent crime unit seeking help to curb gangs During eight days in mid-May, gang-related shootings left two dead and four injured in Topeka. After that, the violent crime unit partnered with state and federal agencies including the U.S. and Shawnee County district attorney’s offices, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and state police. Since it formed, the unit has arrested 236 suspects, seized more than 6 pounds of marijuana, 3 pounds of meth and 30 guns, including assault weapons. It also has seized about $60,000 in cash and 2.25 grams of heroin. Those statistics

do not include investigations unrelated to gang activity. Maj. Darin Scott told the City Council Thursday that the heroin is of particular interest because the drug is causing problems in other parts of the country and is slowly coming to the Midwest. Police have not said how large the unit is or if the initiative is in addition to regular police work. Scott said that’s because the people who are being sought by police

6 people injured, 1 critically, in Kansas City shooting Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Six people were injured, one critically, after a gunman fired shots at a group of people in Kansas City’s Westport entertainment district, police said. Two people were arrested after the shooting about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, police said. When officers responded to the shots, two people got into a car and fled, prompting one officer to fire at the vehicle. When the car crashed nearby, the two people were arrested, police spokeswoman Capt. Stacey Graves said. No one was injured by police gunfire. Greg Gillis, 28, said he and four friends had just left a line of food trucks when they heard sounds they first thought were firecrackers.

“Then we realized there were shooters across from us,” Gillis told The Kansas City Star. Gillis and his friends said it appeared two people were holding guns, but they saw only one fire at least eight shots. They didn’t hear an argument before the shooting, Gillis said. “I don’t think they were actually targeting anybody,” Gillis said. “It’s just like they were shooting toward where the crowd was. They were still a block away from where the majority of people were.” Gillis said he and his friends left the area in a cab as soon as possible. He said he’s not planning to return to Westport anytime soon. “Definitely holding off,” he said. “It’s not worth the risk.”

don’t need to know that officers are looking for them. Sgt. Ruben Salamanca said gangs are responsible for nearly all the violence, either directly or indirectly. The city has 12 active gangs, which is similar to national trends. Topeka’s gangs mostly attract teenage boys who don’t have solid family structures and they find support, protection and money in the gangs. Salamanca said parents, relatives and community organizations need

to take an active role in making gangs seem less alluring. As the violent crime initiative continues, police are hopeful residents will provide tips

and discuss concerns about gang activity. Scott said the goal is to redirect people away from gang involvement, rather than waiting until they have been arrested.

Law requires agency to share statistics to help vets in need Donovan Slack @donovanslack USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Department of Veterans Affairs over the summer quietly stopped sharing data on the quality of care at its facilities with a national database for consumers, despite a 2014 law requiring the agency to report more comprehensive statistics to the site so veterans can make informed decisions about where to seek care. For years, the VA provided data on a number of criteria to the Hospital Compare website run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in the Department of Health and Human Services. The site includes death and readmission rates and other measures of quality for public and private hospitals around the country, as well as national averages. Congress passed the law mandating the VA to submit even more data, but the VA confirmed to USA TODAY last week that it stopped reporting its information July 1.

Clinton ‘overheating’ spell due to pneumonia, doctor says Incident may bring more focus on health Heidi M. Przybyla and Eliza Collins USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton was suffering from pneumonia when she quickly departed a Sept. 11 memorial ceremony in New York City on Sunday, according to her doctor, an episode that may intensify calls for a fuller release of both candidates’ medical records. Clinton attended the ceremony for an hour and 30 minutes be-

fore “she felt so overheated” she departed for her daughter’s apartment, spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement. The candidate later exited the apartment, saying, “I’m feeling great” before leaving for her home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Once she returned home, Clinton was examined by her physician, Lisa Bardack, who issued a statement saying the Democratic nominee has been experiencing a cough related to allergies. Friday, she was diagnosed with pneumonia and is on antibiotics and advised to rest and modify her schedule, Bardack said. “While at this morning’s event, she became overheated and dehy-

drated. I have just examined her, and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely,” Bardack said. “Secretary Clinton will not be traveling to California tomorrow or Tuesday,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said late Sunday. The incident comes at an inopportune time for the Clinton campaign, which has been fighting Internet rumors about her health after a recent coughing spell, which she laughed off by saying, “Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic.” In a speech Aug. 15, Donald Trump said Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS (the Islamic State)

VA scrapped own online comparisons v CONTINUED FROM 1B

took down its own site in February that provided side-by-side quality comparisons of its hospitals. That page, hospitalcompare.va.gov, is simply blank. Francis said the VA took it down because it didn’t meet accessibility requirements — using colors, for example, such as red, green and yellow to indicate how well a VA medical center was performing was not accessible to visually impaired people. There are still VA Web pages where users can download 140 different spreadsheets of health statistics or see ratings for VA facilities in a ZIP code or region, but neither shows comparisons to the private sector. “I’m not defending what we have currently in terms of our reporting site. It is not a userfriendly interface by any means, but that site at least met the (accessibility) requirements,” Francis said. He said the VA is looking for a contractor to improve the site, and he hopes that will happen in the next few weeks. There is no set timeline for the VA to resume reporting to the HHS Hospital Compare database. The VA is the country’s largest health care system, serving roughly 9 million veterans at more than 1,200 facilities across the country, including 168 medical centers. It began releasing comprehensive facility-level quality and patient satisfaction data in 2008, and a few years later, began sharing its information with Hospital Compare. “VA is committed to providing veterans and their family members with a transparent accounting of the quality and safety of its health care system,” then-VA secretary Eric Shinseki said when announcing the new data sharing in August 2011. “In collaborating with CMS, we show our determination to be open and accountable to veterans and their families.” That allowed veterans for the first time to use data from the site to compare care at their VA with public hospitals in the area before making decisions about where to get treatment. In 2014, after a scandal broke at the Phoenix VA, where 40 veterans died awaiting care, Congress passed the Choice Act, which included expanded authority for the VA to pay for veterans’ care in the private sector if they couldn’t get timely appointments at a nearby VA facility. That law included a provision requiring the VA and HHS to reach an agreement within six months to expand the amount of data the VA reported and HHS published on Hospital Compare. That deadline came and went in February 2015. Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Maternal mortality rates in Texas are a medical mystery Deaths outpace most industrialized nations, report shows Rick Jervis @mrRjervis USA TODAY HOUSTON Pregnant women visiting the Center for Children and Women receive more than ultrasounds and vitamins. They get blood pressure checks, mental health screenings, diabetes tests and lab work — all under one roof. The clinic is on a front-line mission to reverse a disturbing trend in Texas: Women in the state are dying of pregnancy-related ailments at a higher rate than the rest of the country and even most other industrialized countries. And no one’s sure exactly why. “This is an incredibly important issue that needs urgent attention,” said Lisa Hollier, the center’s medical director and head of the state’s Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Task Force. The rate of maternal mortality in Texas spiked from 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2010 to more than 30 per 100,000 in 2011 and remained more than 30 per 100,000 through 2014, according to a recent study in the medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology. That’s significantly higher than Italy (2.1 deaths per 100,000 live births), Japan (3.3) and France (5.5), and more in line with Mexico (38.9) or Turkey and Chile (15.2), according to World Health Organization statistics. Across the USA, the rate of maternal deaths also jumped from 18.8 per 100,000 live births in 2000 to 23.8 in 2014 — a 27% jump, the study showed. Maternal deaths still are relatively rare. Texas, for instance, tracks about 150 deaths a year out of around 400,000 live births. But the rate of increase and the fact that the numbers are rising in the USA while dropping in other industrialized countries is cause for alarm, said Eugene Declercq, assistant dean at Boston University School of Public Health and coauthor of the study. “We are so far behind these other countries, there’s clearly a problem here,” he said. “There’s real reason to be concerned.” Causes of maternal deaths in Texas include everything from cardiac events to hypertension, drug overdose and suicide, according to a report released this year by the Texas task force. The report, which looked at deaths in 2011 and 2012 associated with pregnancy and within a year after giving birth, also found that African-American women were disproportionately more likely to die in pregnancy-related deaths than white or Hispanic women.

Black women accounted for just 11% of all births in Texas, but they made up 29% of maternal deaths, according to the Texas report. Hispanic women accounted for nearly half — 48% — of all births, but made up 31% of maternal deaths. Why Texas women died from seemingly preventable ailments — and why African-American women are more likely to be affected — remains a mystery, said June Hanke, a task force member and analyst with the Harris Health System in Houston. Some experts point to the state’s cut of family planning services and refusal to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act as possible reasons. In 2011, Texas lawmakers slashed the family planning budget by more than $70 million and, two years

automatically for pregnant women in most states, but runs out six weeks after they give birth, leaving low-income women at risk from lingering ailments, he said. The Texas task force report found that most of the state’s maternal deaths occurred after 42 days from birth. California recently launched a statewide effort to expand care for expectant and recent mothers, such as increased hemorrhaging and hypertension tools and training, in hospitals across the state. Since the program’s launch, California’s maternal mortality has declined from 14 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2008 to around 10 per 100,000 births in 2014, Main said. “You have to up your game,” he said. “Women today are more complicated. They’re heavier. They have more underlying conditions. If you don’t continually upgrade your care, you’re going to be behind the eight ball.” That thinking is seeping slowly into Texas. State officials earlier this year introduced the Healthy Texas Women program, which provides extra services for pregnant women on Medicaid. At the Center for Children and Women, open to those families who qualify for the Texas Children’s Health Plan, staffers combine pediatrics, obstetrics, dental care, psychology and pharmacy under one roof. Meanwhile, the Texas task force, led by Hollier, will continue studying recent maternal deaths and expand on the findings of the report released earlier this year. “Maternal mortality is an incredibly complex problems with a wide variety of contributing factors,” Hollier said. “This report is just the beginning.”

Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump attended the ceremony. Both left well before the almost four-hour program ended. But the event wasn’t about them. Lionel Keaton traveled by bus from North Carolina with 50 relatives to pay homage to his niece Tamitha Freeman, who died when the south tower collapsed, spewing steel, glass and dust across Lower Manhattan. “We just decided as a family since it was the 15th anniversary that we would all get together and make a bus trip to New York to celebrate her life,” Keaton said. At the Pentagon, President Obama participated in a wreath ceremony and paid tribute to the 184 victims killed when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the western side of the massive building. “No deed we do can ever truly erase the pain of their absence,” Obama said. “Your steadfast love and faithfulness has been an inspiration to me and our entire country.” In Pennsylvania, Gordon Felt lost a brother on United Airlines Flight 93, which had flown out of Newark bound for San Francisco. The 9/11 Commission determined

later, greatly reduced the number of abortion clinics in the state by mandating they meet ambulatory surgical center standards and employ doctors with admitting privileges at hospitals. The Supreme Court this summer ruled against the abortion restrictions. Yet family planning service cuts didn’t kick in until September 2011 and don’t account for the spike in maternal deaths at the beginning of that year, Hollier said. The cuts in health care may have contributed, but are not the sole culprit, she said. George Saade, head of obstetrics at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, was so alarmed by the rise in maternal deaths in Texas in recent years that he co-wrote a paper in Obstetrics and Gynecology four years ago, warning of the trend and calling for changes. Growing obesity in Texas women and increased cases of hypertension and other ailments while pregnant make them a health risk unlike any seen in recent years, he said. A thorough regimen of mental and physical screenings before, during and after pregnancies is needed to make sure women stay healthy for births — and beyond, he said. “We have to accept that pregnant women these days are more complex and at risk than before,” Saade said. Part of the problem is that pregnancy health care traditionally focused on the health and survival of the baby and not the long-term health of the mother, said Elliott Main, medical director of the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Medicaid, for example, kicks in

DOUBTS PLAGUE CEASE-FIRE IN SYRIA Nusra, ISIL unprotected under third pact in a year as weekend airstrikes continue Oren Dorell @orendorell USA TODAY

The Syrian cease-fire negotiated by the United States and Russia is set to begin Monday night amid uncertainty over who it will protect and for how long. The government of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his allies Russia and Iran endorsed the deal, and Syrian opposition groups said Sunday they will abide by the deal despite deep reservations. Over the weekend, Syrian and Turkish airstrikes continued after the deal was announced, killing dozens of people. The death toll from Syrian government airstrikes Saturday on a market in the opposition-held city of Idlib rose to 58 Sunday, according to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Additional Syrian airstrikes in the contested city of Aleppo killed another 30 people, the group said.

Turkey’s military said Sunday that its airstrikes killed 20 Islamic State fighters in northern Syria, as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged to continue operations in Syria against the militant group and Kurdish rebels he blames for launching attacks in Turkey, the Hurriet Daily News reported. The cease-fire agreement, announced early Saturday in Geneva by Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, calls for an end to fighting between the U.S.-

backed Syrian opposition and Syrian government forces, including its allies Russia and Iran. Not protected by the cease-fire are the Islamic State and the Nusra Front, a terrorist group that was al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate until recently. The agreement also calls for both sides to allow humanitarian aid to reach the Syrian city of Aleppo and other communities under siege by government forces, plus eventual talks about a political transition. The United States wants Assad to step down while Russia and Iran have been supporting the Syrian leader. If the calm lasts, the agreement could fulfill Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goal of working with the USA against the Islamic State and al-Qaeda in Syria. Kerry said such an arrange-

ment would proceed if the ceasefire and humanitarian access hold for seven days. Then the cooperation with Russia would include sharing information on areas controlled by the Islamic State, the Nusra Front and opposition groups, he said. Complicating the situation: Nearly all the U.S.-backed opposition groups are fighting alongside Nusra against the Syrian government. For the cease-fire to work, the rebels would have to separate from Nusra to avoid being struck by the airstrikes. This is at least the third major cease-fire announcement since Russian airstrikes in Syria began a year ago. Russia has said it was attacking terrorists, but the U.S. said Russia and Syria focused on opposition forces. While some Syrian opposition

groups welcomed the truce, the hard-line Ahrar al-Sham, said it opposes the agreement but will abide by it, according to the Associated Press. “The factions welcome a ceasefire and welcome the incoming of aid but have reservations. ... What are the sanctions if the regime doesn’t abide by it?” Zakaria Malahifji of the opposition group Fastaqim told Al Arabiya. “A big part of the agreement serves the regime and doesn’t apply pressure on it and doesn’t serve the Syrian people.” Mohamed Elibiary, a former adviser to then-secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, said the Syrian opposition has little to gain from the deal. “This whole agreement by the U.S. and Russia puts the opposition on a track to be crushed,” Elibiary said.

An initial exit poll in Croatia’s early parliamentary election Sunday indicated there will be no clear winner, paving the way for more political uncertainty in the European Union’s newest member state. The left-wing Peoples’ Coalition won 57 seats in Croatia’s 151seat parliament, according to the poll conducted by Croatia’s independent Ipsos Puls agency, carried by state TV. The conservative Croatian Democratic Union, or

HDZ, had 57 seats, while kingmaker Most, which translated into English means “Bridge,” won 12 seats. The second vote in less than a year was called when a previous, right-wing government collapsed in June after less than six months in power, paralyzed by bickering within the ruling coalition. — The Associated Press DRIVER KILLED, SEVERAL HURT IN SCHOOL BUS CRASH

Police in Denver said a school bus driver was killed and several people were hospitalized with critical injuries Sunday after a school bus crashed into a wall at Denver International Airport. The bus was from Legacy High School in Broomfield, Colo., KUSA-TV reported. The school, located about 19 miles north of Denver, is part of the Adams 12 Five Star Schools district. The bus veered off a roadway and crashed into a concrete wall, killing the driver and injuring several passengers, The Denver Post reported. The crash happened at 4:08 p.m. MT, airport spokesman Heath Montgomery said. Members of the high school’s varsity football team were on the bus at the time of the crash. — Greg Toppo

Shoplifting, stealing and selling their bodies for sex. When hunger hits, some desperate teens in the U.S. are turning to extreme options to provide food for their families, says research released Monday from Feeding America and the Urban Institute. Two reports, “Bringing Teens to the Table” and “Impossible Choices,” document how widespread hunger is afflicting American teenagers, a demographic often overlooked in conversations about food security. About one in five children under 18 — including 6.8 million youths ages 10 to 17 — live in a household with limited or uncertain access to food, the research shows. The drastic examples, while not representative of most teens’ behavior, show the gravity of the issue of teen hunger and the danger it poses, say researchers who surveyed 193 youths in focus groups in five states, from urban centers to rural suburbs. Some of the youths said they or someone they know — mostly young men — have turned to shoplifting food, selling drugs or stealing items to sell. The teens also reported knowing young women who have sold their bodies for food or had sex for money so they could buy food for their families. Some teens even opt to go to jail or fail a class in order to have to attend summer school. Researchers do not know how common these extreme strategies are for hungry adolescents, but Susan Popkin, senior fellow at the Urban Institute, said hunger strikes teens in many different types of communities. While some research does exist on hunger problems for homeless teens and younger children, Popkin said few have looked at teen hunger in youths who have a

things on top of being in school and on top of the biological changes of being teenager,” Engelhard said. Teens usually require the most food in their families, said Neville Golden, chief of adolescent medicine at Stanford and a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ nutrition committee. However, the studies show they often go without a meal in order to let others eat. “The teenage years are the years during which most growth and development occur outside

of the first year of life. It’s a critical window of time,” he said. “Depriving a teenager of critical nutrients during that time can have long-lasting implications.” Malnourishment often leads to developmental problems that can affect everything from vital signs to mental health, Golden said. Hunger can distract students from learning. “Anyone who has been hungry knows what it feels like. … You can’t focus on other things. People who are hungry can’t learn and can’t focus on their education,” Golden said. He said adolescents also face mental health issues related to their diets, such as pressure to feel attractive. Adding hunger to the list of diet-related concerns only complicates the issue. Many teens from the focus groups said they felt a stigma associated with being food insecure. “Nobody wants to be the kid who has to ask the teacher in school for help. Nobody wants to be the kid who is going hungry,” Popkin said. Combining food assistance with other community-building activities would help alleviate the stigma and provide food for teenagers, Engelhard said. She said the report “underscores the need for more research.”

Higher interest rates would be welcome news for banks’ battered bottom lines

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The fate of U.S. bank stocks took an interesting twist Friday when the market plunged 2.5%, its worst one-day dive since late June. Sparking the market’s distress after a long stretch of summer calm was a speech from Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren that suggested the central bank could hike interest rates soon. While analysts say a Fed rate hike and higher rates overall would be welcome news for banks’ battered bottom lines, the specter of higher borrowing costs slowing economic activity was viewed as trouble for most sectors. But barring a broad stock market decline, bank stocks could perform better than the Standard & Poor’s 500 index as they did last month. In August, the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index, made up of 24 big banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo — gained nearly 7% vs. a fractional loss for the broad market gauge. The bank index, however, is down 2.1% in 2016 vs. a 4.1% gain for the S&P 500. Here are a few things working in bank stocks’ favor: uHigher rates, bigger profits. Banks do better when interest rates are higher and fare best when the “spread” between short-term rates and long-term rates widens. If a bank pays out a miserly 0% interest on checking account deposits, but short-term rates set by

the Fed are zero, the bank makes no money. But if a bank charges a home buyer 4% for a 30-year mortgage and pays out 0% in interest to depositors, it pockets the 4-percentagepoint spread. If long-term rates rise further and the bank can charge, say, 5% for a mortgage, its spread — or profit — grows to 5 percentage points. “Any increase in rates from the Fed would boost earnings estimates for banks,” says Fred Cannon, director of research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. uLower P-Es, better value. Many Wall Street pros say the U.S. stock market is overvalued by a common metric: the price-toearnings ratio, or PE. But bank stocks are cheaper relative to the market. After Friday’s stock selloff, the S&P 500 was trading at 18 times its 2016 estimated earnings, compared to an earnings multiple of less than 14 for the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index, Cannon noted. “When you look at other segments of the market, the banks are certainly in the cheaper tranche,” says Chris Verrone, a partner at Strategas Research Partners. Bank stocks could see fresh, sizable cash flows into the sector if the rally continues. Last month, $1.2 billion flowed into financial funds, the most in 10 months, Bank of America Merrill Lynch says. uPast laggard, future leader. Investors are emboldened when they see bank stocks fare better than the S&P 500 on a big down day like Friday. While the broad market fell 2.5%, the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index fell just 1%.

Yet again, penalties pile up at Wells Fargo $185M fine for fraud just the latest in a string of infractions Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Wells Fargo’s $185 million hit in civil penalties for secretly opening millions of accounts without customers’ permission is just the latest regulatory black eye for the bank. Wells Fargo, the biggest U.S. bank by stock market value, Thursday agreed to pay $100 million in restitution to victims to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fund, as well as a $35 million penalty to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and $50 million to the city and county of Los Angeles. The bank agreed to pay the fine in connection to actions allegedly committed by about 5,300 employees to open accounts unbeknownst to customers and racking up fees as a result. “It’s serious. It shows rogue employees and management that’s not effective,” says Erik Oja, analyst at S&P Global Equity Research, pointing out that at this point it’s unclear how widespread this alleged fraud was. “It shows bad incentives as well.” It’s the latest of many penalties levied on Well Fargo. The bank faced or settled four key areas of litigation as of the end of 2015, including several with much larger settlements connected with: uFHA insurance claims. Wells Fargo agreed to pay $1.2 billion in February to settle complaints from the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California

lion connected to the way the bank processed debit card payments for customers. By allowing a payment to hit the ledger before a deposit, the bank was allegedly able to generate overdraft fees. Several of these cases were still pending at the end of last year. Wells Fargo filed a petition for the Supreme Court to review the decision but is still awaiting word, according to its annual regulatory filing. “Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries have generally denied, or believe we have a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all significant litigation pending against us,” the filing says. Regarding the latest settlement connected with the secret account openings, Wells Fargo spokeswoman Richele Messick said Wells Fargo had already refunded in the first quarter any associated fees prior to the settlement. The total repaid to customers was $2.6 million. The bank has since “strengthened our policies” regarding the opening of new accounts, Messick says. Consumers should check their accounts and call Wells Fargo with any questions, she says. Wells Fargo isn’t alone in facing regulatory scrutiny that has led to large fines. Wells Fargo ranks just fourth among global banks in terms of total value of fines paid over the past eight years at $10 billion, Hockett says. Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup have paid more: $58 billion, $31 billion and $13 billion, respectively, during the same period. The latest alleged scam by Wells Fargo, however, opens a new front for the types of frauds banks are accused of, Hockett says.

Dear Annie: My fiancee and I are planning our wedding, which is next spring. We’ve run into a conundrum while working on our list of invitees. Two of our friends, “Alex” and “Mary,” split up about a year and a half ago. Mary was devastated. Alex was, admittedly, pretty insensitive about it, but no one is at his best during a breakup. Alex has moved on and been dating someone else for about a year. Mary hasn’t dated anyone since the breakup and still holds a lot of bitterness against Alex. If she hears that any of us have been in contact with him, she goes on a rant about how much of a “scumbag” he is. She stops short of actually asking us not to talk to him, though. My fiancee and I really don’t want to deal with any drama on our wedding day, but we want to

invite Alex. How should we handle this? Do you think it would be inconsiderate to Mary to have him there? — Cold Feet About Hothead Dear Cold: This drama queen needs to know that on your wedding day, her curtain goes down. Have a talk with Mary well in advance to let her know you’re inviting Alex and his girlfriend. She’ll have plenty of time to steel herself for the encounter. If she’s unwilling to give you her word that she’ll

Has ‘Dancing with the Stars’ gone insane? Have there really been 23 seasons of “Dancing With the Stars” (7 p.m., ABC, TV-PG)? Or merely 23 variations on the same theme? The new cast offers a virtual checklist of the series’ archetypal characters. It includes sports stars, music celebrities, ingenues from the Disney/Freeform youth celebrity factory, a bad boy still in the media doghouse, a reality star who defies expectations of shape and beauty, and most curiously, the show’s second o n c e indicted right-wing Texas politician to attempt a paso doble. Albert Einstein is credited with the saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” Could he have also devised the formula for “Dancing With the Stars”? O Kevin James hosts the “CBS Fall Preview” (7:30 p.m., CBS), a glance at a new season that puts special emphasis on the familiar. James (“King of Queens”) will return as a retired policeman adjusting to retirement and more time with his family in the sitcom “Kevin Can Wait.” A similar theme runs through “Man With a Plan,” starring Matt LeBlanc. Along with Matthew Perry in “Odd Couple,” CBS now has two former “Friends” stars on its sitcom roster. “Plan” will also feature familiar face Kevin Nealon. Joel McHale (“Community”) returns to prime time on CBS in “The Great Indoors” as a macho adventurer-type adjusting to office life and the conversational stylings of millennials. Any similarities between “Indoors” and Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing” are strictly intentional. Did I mention that CBS is rebooting “MacGyver”? O This Sunday, CBS is launching a six-hour docuseries recalling the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. For those who can’t wait, there’s “JonBenet: An American Murder Mystery” (9 p.m., ID, TV-14), a three-night look at the 1996 murder of the 6-year-old girl. If the O.J. Simpson trial put the spotlight on America’s racial divide and the difficulty of convicting a known wife-batterer, the Ramsey case focused on the world of child pageants and the backstage parents who go to great expense to idealize and, some would argue, eroticize and exploit the beauty of girls barely out of kindergarten.

be cordial, then she can skip the wedding. But if she really is a true friend, she will understand, put her anger aside and help make your big day a joyous occasion. And in that case, you should sit her next to a cute single groomsman. Dear Annie: I have a close friend whom I have known for many years. As two women will do, we discuss our lives, which can lead to some complaining about a variety of situations. When I confide to her that I am worried about a certain situation or if I am just venting about something that happened to me that day, she is very quick to either try to solve the problem for me or say something that minimizes my concern about the problem. I am just looking for a sympathetic ear. Am I being too sensi-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Sept. 12: This year your thoughts often center on building greater emotional and/or financial security. If you are single, you might surprise yourself with how possessive you could become with one specific suitor. If you are attached, the two of you can be quite the powerful couple, especially when it comes to achieving long-desired goals. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You could feel out of sorts, as demands and requests seem to flood your desk, email and/or voicemail. Tonight: Detach and look at the big picture. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You have the ability to see the big picture almost immediately. Tonight: Count on a late night. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You might feel as if everything is out of your control, as many people around you seem to act in unexpected and/or unusual ways. Tonight: Out late. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You might want someone else to make the first move. Tonight: Have an enlightening discussion with a friend. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ A new piece of information or a sudden insight might push you to reassess an emotionally charged situation that could have a big impact on your day-to-day inter-

tive? Should I gently let her know how this type of reaction makes me feel, or should I let it go? I fear that if I said something, I’d risk losing her as my friend. — Not Heard in Nebraska Dear Not Heard: We humans are hard-wired to be problem-solvers. And some people have an especially hard time letting anything just be, thinking every problem might be fixed with the tap of their hammer. It probably hasn’t even occurred to your friend that she could simply listen without giving advice. So do point it out to her. When you just want to vent about something, begin with a disclaimer: “I’m not looking for advice. I just want to vent about this.” — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

actions. Tonight: Share news. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ++++ Your creativity and positive attitude toward a new friend will emerge in a unique way. Someone to whom you are very connected could surprise you. Tonight: Head to the gym. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ++++ You come from a stable point of view. You often wonder whether you should head in the direction that most people see as appropriate. Tonight: All smiles. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Communication excels, with the exception of one person you work with or someone who affects your day-to-day life. Tonight: Run errands, then head home. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ Deal with financial matters first to get the results you desire. Tonight: Fun and games. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ You finally are behind the steering wheel, and you won’t tolerate backseat drivers. Tonight: Dinner out. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) +++ You might be electrified by some news that gets you out of your bah-humbug Monday mood. Tonight: Keep good news to yourself for just a little while longer. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Keep a close eye on your finances, because a lot could change. Tonight: Listen to a friend. — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

CHIEFS 33, CHARGERS 27, OT

Comeback kids

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Too early for KU to pass on run First, a moment to wish everyone involved in the historic day a happy anniversary. That’s right, today is the seven-year anniversary of the Kansas football team’s most recent road victory, a 34-7 blasting of UTEP. The Jayhawks will try to avoid being road kill for the 39th consecutive time (including three games at neutral Arrowhead Stadium) Saturday in Memphis, where kickoff is scheduled for 11 a.m. against the Tigers, 20-point favorites. Kansas football coach David Beaty vowed his team would learn from its sloppy mistakes, bring better focus and play a much cleaner football game in Memphis than in Saturday’s 37-21 loss to visiting Ohio. Minimizing unforced errors certainly would be a welcome change of pace, but a more disturbing, less correctable flaw casts a pall on any attempt to put a positive spin on the season outlook. As unsightly as the sloppy play was, the state of KU’s run-blocking crushes optimism even more powerfully. Four different running backs, a wide receiver and a quarterback combined for 15 rushing attempts that netted 35 yards, a 1.7 average. It looked even worse than those numbers. Running the football resulted in such futility that it’s worth asking whether Kansas should pretty much abandon the run and go with an almost exclusive air attack. The answer: Not yet. Jordan Shelley-Smith, sidelined by a concussion the first two games, could return, which can’t hurt. He’s in his fifth year in the program and third as an offensive lineman. Three starters are in their second years in the program and a fourth is a true freshman. Plus, Kansas proved last season it could run the football against Memphis. One year ago today, Memphis blasted Kansas, 55-23, in Lawrence, but the Jayhawks rushed for a respectable 194 yards. Ke’aun Kinner, averaging 7.1 yards per rush, rushed for 113 yards. All the starting blockers except Bryan Peters remain on the roster, so in theory Kansas should be able to find the same success running the ball as it did a year ago today. Might as well give it a shot, even though it probably won’t work. It takes years to build an offensive line, not a week.

KANSAS CITY QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH CELEBRATES AFTER THE CHIEFS defeated San Diego, 33-27 in overtime, Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Chiefs erase 21-point deficit, win in OT By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer

Kansas City, Mo. — Alex Smith squirmed out of the pile in the end zone, got to his feet and let out a roar. All it took was the largest comeback in the 56-year history of the Kansas City Chiefs for the stoic quarterback with the California cool

to finally let some emotion show. Smith threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns to rally his team from a three-touchdown hole, then scored on third-and-goal on the first possession of overtime for a heart-stopping 33-27 victory over the San Diego Chargers in their season opener Sunday.

“Lot of emotion at the end of the game,” Smith said with a smile. The Chiefs trailed 24-3 in the second half before mounting their charge, and it really kicked into gear when Smith hit Jeremy Maclin with a back-shoulder fade to get within 27-17 with 9 minutes to go. Cairo Santos added a 33-

yard field goal a few minutes later. Then, after the Chiefs forced a three-and-out, Spencer Ware finished a fourplay drive with a touchdown plunge to knot the game at 27. It took Kansas City 10 plays to march 75 yards in overtime. Smith finished it with

Big hit brings scary flashback for Cozart By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The first thing Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart thought about when he slammed into the turf in front of the KU bench on the fourth snap of the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 37-21 loss to Ohio was a play that came 343 days earlier and ended his 2015 season. On that one, a scramble in Ames, Iowa, late in the third quarter of a 38-13 KU loss to Iowa State, Cozart hit the turf and felt his left shoulder bend back underneath him. The trauma was enough to knock him from the game — and ultimately

“

We’ve got great doctors and stuff. They did the tests and I passed everything and I was fine.” — KU quarterback Montell Cozart

the rest of the season — and the junior had no problem saying those memories had him scared after the hit that knocked him out on Saturday. “A little bit,” he said. “But, you know, we’ve got great

Wawrinka tops Djokovic for 1st US Open title, 3rd Grand Slam New York (AP) — Pointing to his temple after winning the biggest of points, Stan Wawrinka wore Novak Djokovic down and beat the defending champion 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday for his first U.S. Open title and third Grand Slam trophy overall. The 31-year-old Wawrinka is the oldest U.S. Open men’s champion since Ken Rosewall was 35 in 1970. Yet he already had gained the upper hand by the time No. 1 Wawrinka Djokovic clutched at his upper left leg and grimaced after missing a forehand while getting broken early in the fourth set. From there, Djokovic briefly began conceding points, showing little of the fight he’s so famous for.

3-on-3 event benefits Coaches vs. Cancer By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

In late August, Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self announced the creation of an on-campus, three-on-three basketball tournament that would lead into Late Night in the Phog and benefit Coaches vs. Cancer. The event, which is slated to take place during the week of Sept. 2630 — Late Night is scheduled to begin in the early evening on Oct. 1 — will wrap up with the final four teams — two men’s and two women’s — facing off for the title on the Allen Fieldhouse court in front of however many fans happen to be packing the stands waiting for their first glimpse of this year’s Jayhawks.

his plunge from the 2-yard line, keeping the ball rather than pitch when the smallest of creases opened. By the time Smith reached his feet, the Chiefs had flooded onto the field to celebrate. “You’re going to have games like this that show your character, show your grit,” coach Andy Reid said. “I’m proud of the way they handled it. They had confidence in each other.” Philip Rivers threw for 243 yards and a touchdown, and Melvin Gordon scored the first two TDs of his career. But the Chargers were unable to keep any drives going in the fourth quarter, when the Chiefs were charging to their NFL-leading 11th consecutive regular-season victory. “You just can’t let them back in. We’ve got to close it,” Chargers offensive tackle Joe Barksdale said. “Everybody with

winners will be recognized during Late Night with a trophy presentation by Self. Beyond creating yet another basketball-centric event for KU fans to go wild about, the new tourney also has helped KU’s standing as a trailblazer in college basketball. “The three-on-three tournament is the first of its kind to this extent,” said Brandy Ammons, senior development manager for Coaches vs. Cancer. “A few other big schools around the country have done some other studentengagement events in the past, but nothing quite to the extent of what Kansas is doing with this.” In many ways, that’s nothing new. Ammons said Coaches vs. Cancer, which to date has raised

more than $87 million, has the utmost respect for the Kansas program and values its relationship both with KU and Self as much as any program and coach in the country. “To have coach Self and a powerhouse like Kansas basketball say they support Coaches vs. Cancer and give back in the way that he and his staff have, it is really unmatched,” Ammons said. “We have a lot of coaches who support Coaches vs. Cancer and will get involved, but this seems to be something that everyone associated with Kansas basketball gets involved in and supports. This school really goes above and beyond.” The idea for the threeon-three tourney came about a year ago when

eyes who saw the game has got to know, we have to close it. It’s not acceptable to be up by 24-3 and lose the game. We know that.” The collapse came after San Diego wide receiver Keenan Allen left in the second quarter with what appeared to be a serious knee injury. He already had six catches for 63 yards. Even without Allen, the retooled Chargers and their improved offensive line managed to build a 21-3 halftime lead. And it looked as if their eightgame skid against AFC West rivals would finally end. That all changed as the fourth quarter began. Josh Lambo missed a 54-yard field goal with San Diego leading 27-10, and the momentum swung toward Kansas City. Smith calmly completed six passes and marched his team 56 yards to the end zone, Santos hit his field goal and Ware his touchdown run, and the game was headed to overtime. The Chiefs carried their newfound momentum all the way to the finish.

Iowa a season ago. “Yeah. Definitely,” he said. “Coming off the field, I had that same feeling a little bit. But everything ended up good so I was happy.” For a quarterback who has both battled frequent injuries and had his toughness questioned throughout his career, finding a way to stay on the field while still playing fearless football has been an ongoing challenge for Cozart. But the

fourth-year junior, who received an extra year of eligibility following last year’s injury, said his mindset has never changed. “In the game, you’re not thinking about that, you know,” he said. “You’re just trying to make a play, just trying to get the extra yards and keep the guys on the field so we can go down and score.” It didn’t happen on Saturday, of course.

Ammons was sharing with Self the campuswide initiative that Bo Ryan and the Wisconsin basketball program organized in Madison, Wis. Intrigued by the idea of doing more to get the student body and community involved, Self and others soon came up with the idea for the tournament. That KU was willing to butt it up against one of the school’s biggest nights of the year was merely a bonus, Ammons said. “Coach Self just said he wanted to do something more to engage the students,” said Ammons, noting that education is nearly as important to the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative as fundraising. “From there, we kind of came up with the idea for the

play and did not score a point in the fourth quarter. Both Cozart and Kansas coach David Beaty hope and believe KU’s starting quarterback will be available this week at Memphis. Asked if he’d continue to fight for yards in the future, even if it meant getting rocked again, Cozart’s answer proved he didn’t plan on changing anything. “Definitely,” he said. “Every time.”

three-on-three tournament and, if anyone can do something like this and really make it a significant awareness piece for Coaches vs. Cancer, Kansas is the school that can do it.” In fact, Ammons said Coaches vs. Cancer often uses the Kansas basketball brand as a selling point for other ideas across the country. “Kansas, a lot of times, is kind of that school, nationally, that we use to tell other schools what’s being done,” Ammons said. “We’ve already pitched the three-onthree tournament to a lot of SEC schools and even some Big 12 schools by saying, ‘This is what Kansas is doing.’” As of Friday, KU officials did not have an offi-

Kennedy pitches Royals past Sox Chicago (ap) — Ian Kennedy wanted to talk about Chris Sale’s outing more than his own performance. “What did he go, eight innings, 12 punchouts?” Kennedy said. “You know you’re going up against one of the best pitchers in the American League. I just wanted to go out there and try to give our team a chance.” Kennedy did a lot better than that, combining with three relievers on a two-hitter and helping the Kansas City Royals edge Sale and the Chicago White Sox, 2-0, on Sunday. The key for Kansas City was swinging early. Kendrys Morales homered on Sale’s first pitch of the second and Eric Hosmer did the same in the fourth. “Honestly, I just try to get out of that box as quick as I can without getting embarrassed,” Hosmer said. The Royals won their second straight to stay four games behind Baltimore for the final AL wild-card spot. They have to jump five teams over the final 20 games to reach the playoffs for the third straight year. “We needed this,” Hosmer said. Kennedy (11-9) walked four, but Adam Eaton’s leadoff single was the only hit off the righthander in six innings. He improved to 5-0 in his last six starts. Peter Moylan and Kelvin Herrera each threw a perfect inning before Wade Davis worked around Eaton’s single and a walk in the ninth for his 24th save. Sale (15-8) struck out 12 in eight innings while becoming the first White Sox pitcher with four consecutive 200-strikeout seasons. It was his third game of 10 or more strikeouts this season and No. 34 for his career. Sale also went over 200 innings for the second straight season. “I think more than anything, it’s the innings,” Sale said. “I was told very early on when I got here 200 innings was the

benchmark for a starting pitcher.” But Sale, who has gone at least eight innings in five straight starts, has just one win since starting for the AL in the AllStar Game. It has fueled speculation Sale could be traded in the offseason to help a rare rebuilding project for the struggling franchise. “I don’t worry about that stuff. It’ll shake out on its own,” Sale said. “I wear this uniform with a lot of pride and I hope I can continue to do that.” Kennedy, who struck out six, stymied Chicago despite occasional control issues amid his lateseason turnaround. He walked the bases loaded in the third with two out before Melky Cabrera flied to right. Kennedy worked around another walk in the fifth when Tyler Saladino lined to the mound to start a double play. Davis got Jose Abreu to line to right and struck out Justin Morneau with two on to close the Royals’ fourth win in six games.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Rays rout Yankees The Associated Press

American League Rays 4, Yankees 2 New York — Corey Dickerson hit a two-run homer, Matt Andriese won for the first time since June and Tampa Bay slowed New York’s playoff charge by stopping the team’s sevengame winning streak with a 4-2 victory Sunday. Logan Forsythe and Brad Miller also went deep for last-place Tampa Bay, which had lost three straight and six of seven. But they prevented a four-game sweep behind Andriese (7-7) and Chase Whitley, who tossed two innings of relief in his Tampa Bay debut after returning from Tommy John surgery. Chase Headley homered and Brett Gardner had an RBI single among his three hits for New York, which began the day three games behind first-place Boston in the AL East and one back of Baltimore for the league’s second wild card.
