Ex-mayor Farmer intends to change plea courtroom in Topeka, where he pleaded not guilty to one charge of interstate travel of embezzled funds, though his lawyer, John Cowles, said he had intended to plead guilty but wanted more time to consider his options.

By Conrad Swanson cswanson@ljworld.com

Former Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer intends to change his plea in a federal embezzlement case. On Thursday, Farmer appeared in a federal

According to court documents, Farmer notified the court that he plans to change his plea. His intentions were made public by a Tuesday court filing, and a new hearing was scheduled for the end of September.

Farmer is accused of taking more than $55,000 in funds from the Lawrence food bank Just Food. He was hired as the organization’s executive director in 2011.

Teachers union asks justices to restore tenure phancock@ljworld.com

Topeka — The state’s largest teachers union asked the Kansas Supreme Court on Tuesday to restore a decades-old law that provided job protections known as tenure rights for most of the state’s nearly 34,000 public school teachers.

But the Kansas attorney general’s office said there was no reason to overturn a lower court’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit because the Kansas Legislature acted properly when it repealed the law. It also argued that the teachers union had no standing to bring the suit because it had not shown any teachers were actually

harmed by repealing those tenure rights. At issue is a bill that lawmakers passed late in the 2014 session that was mainly intended to address another Supreme Court decision regarding school funding equity. That bill provided $130 million in additional funding for what was called “equalization

Members of the Lawrence City Commission will soon be deciding what they want the city to look like in the future and then coming up with a strategic plan to get there. City leaders said those decisions will have a broad impact. “What this commission decides our strategic plan is will drive this entire operation from top to bottom,” City Manager Tom Markus told com- Markus missioners at their work session Tuesday. As part of the work session, commissioners received 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, interrelated steps to arrive at that future. Those steps are part of budgeting and business plans, and a regular report will measure and evaluate progress made on the plan. The strategic planning process will also include multiple opportunities for community input, but Markus said decisions ultimately come down to commissioners’ judgment.

Tenure CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Among those was a bill that had failed to pass the previous year repealing teacher tenure rights. Tenure generally meant that teachers who had passed a two- or three-year probationary period could not be summarily fired or have their contracts nonrenewed without good cause. Teachers who were fired or not renewed were entitled to a due process hearing in front of an independent panel and to judicial review of those decisions if they lost at the hearing panel. The Kansas National Education Association argued that repealing tenure rights as part of an appropriations bill violated a provision of the Kansas Constitution that generally prohibits passing bills with multiple subjects. Jason Walta, a Washington, D.C., attorney for the National Education Association, arguing on behalf of KNEA, said attaching a permanent change in public policy, such as the repeal of teacher tenure rights, to an appropriations bill amounted to what he called “log rolling,” or attaching a bill that couldn’t pass the Legislature on its own merits onto a “mustpass” piece of legislation like the school funding bill that was required to comply with a Supreme Court order. He said that was the kind of legislative abuse that the one-subject rule in the Constitution was supposed to prevent. But Solicitor General Stephen McAllister said it wasn’t log rolling but the typical kind of “horse trading” that is an ordinary and accepted part of the legislative process. And he argued the bill did not violate the onesubject rule because it all dealt with “education,” and the language in Article 2, Section 16 of the Constitution specifically exempts appropriations bills from the rule. A Shawnee County District Court judge said KNEA did have standing to bring the suit. But he granted the state’s motion to dismiss it anyway, finding that the bill did not violate the Constitution’s one-subject rule. At several points during Tuesday’s hearing, justices asked how far into the weeds they needed to probe in order to decide the case. “What do we have to know to decide this case?” Justice Dan Biles asked from the bench. Biles said that in order to answer the question of

standing, the court may need to decide whether teachers covered by the old tenure law were given a property right interest in their continued employment. “Do we have to answer that question, or can we skip over it?” Biles asked. Walta argued that the deprivation of due process tenure rights was enough to establish standing. But Justice Carol Beier asked what kind of due process were teachers being deprived of. She said there was a difference between “procedural” due process, which only involves the process through which someone’s rights are determined, and “substantive” due process, which would suggest that teachers were deprived of something tangible in value. Walta, however, said he couldn’t talk about individual teachers who had been personally injured because that wasn’t part of the record in the case. He said that in the case at hand, KNEA was challenging the law only on the constitutional issue of the one-subject rule. KNEA officials said after the hearing, though, that they have at least half a dozen other cases around the state involving individual teachers who were fired without due process hearings. McAllister, meanwhile, argued that all of the previous court cases challenging the one-subject rule dealt with bills that had titles such as “An act concerning appropriations.” He said the bill KNEA was challenging had a lengthy title that begins with the words, “An act concerning education,” and he noted that all of the provisions in that bill concerned education. Justice Lee Johnson seemed unconvinced by that argument. “We don’t elevate form over substance,” he said. “We’re not bound by titles.” But Justice Caleb Stegall said there was nothing in the record to suggest any lawmakers had challenged the tenure repeal provisions as not being germane to the underlying bill. Several times, McAllister referred back to the language in the Constitution, specifically the last line in Article 2, Section 16, which says, “The provisions of this section shall be liberally construed to effectuate the acts of the legislature.” The court did not indicate when it would rule on the case.

Steady growth squeezes Eudora schools’ budget By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Eudora school district continues to be financially pinched between steady growth and a temporary state funding formula that froze state aid at the 2014-2015 level. Although the district won’t officially report its enrollment to the Kansas Department of Education until Sept. 20, it appears to be looking at an enrollment increase of 27 students from the 2015-2016 school year, Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal said. The district’s official enrollment last year was 1,673. Splichal shared preliminary numbers last week with the Eudora school board. The growth conforms with that predicted in an enrollment analysis

the district conducted last year, which projected slow and steady growth. The new students were distributed throughout grade levels, but elementary classes continue to lead the way in gradelevel enrollment. Splichal said the fifth-grade class was the largest in the district, with 158 students. The first- and third-grade classes are tied for second largest, with 144 students each. There is no longer any grade level in the district with fewer than 100 students, he said. The district hired one additional third-grade teacher to help with the enrollment increase, but the inevitable reality of two years of frozen funding is larger classroom sizes, Splichal said. The district also feels a budget squeeze as its costs and

student numbers continue to increase while state aid remains the same. The Kansas Legislature scuttled the state’s old funding formula in 2015 and put in place a block grant system that froze funding levels to districts while it worked to develop a new formula. Splichal said he was hopeful that a new formula would be adopted in the 2017 legislative session that conformed to state constitutional mandates of adequacy and equitable funding for the state’s districts. “I’m very hopeful there will be a return to logic and common sense with some kind of per-student funding formula,” he said. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

Eudora selects contractor for Paschal Fish Park concrete work By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

The Eudora City Commission agreed Monday to award a $32,970 contract to Sunflower Paving Inc. of Lawrence to do the concrete work for the Paschal Fish Park upgrade. The only other bid received was from Cohorst Enterprises Inc., for $34,212, but it was disqualified because it was sent by email rather than submitted as a sealed bid as the process required, Eudora City Manager Barack Matite said. The bid was higher than anticipated because of the decision to add curbs along the street and a hexagon slab under the

For KU, however, the 2017 list marked the fourth straight year of declining rankings. KU was ranked 101st in 2014, but fell to 106th in 2015 and to 115th in 2016. Within specific academic programs, KU fell five spots, into a tie for 75th overall for undergraduate engineering programs at public universities that also offer engineering doctoral degrees. Among public schools in that category, it slipped four spots, to 44th. And KU fell two spots, to 63rd overall and 41st among public universities, for undergraduate business programs at public universities. KU officials noted, however, that the university climbed three spots, to 40th place, among public universities in the Best Colleges for Veterans category.

park’s new shelter, Matite said. The park upgrade’s overall cost has also increased because of commissioners’ decision to bury the power lines that pass over the park and to replace an undersized waterline near the water tower in the middle of the park with a waterline of the appropriate size. Matite suggested that rather than further deplete the park improvement fund bankrolled by a 0.75cent sales tax city voters approved in 2015, the city use $8,000 from the electrical fund to pay for burying the power lines and the water impact fee to fund the waterline upgrade. Commissioners gave consensus agreement to both suggestions.

In the 2017 edition, Princeton University again led the list of best national universities, and the University of California-Berkeley once again topped the list of public universities. Elsewhere in the Great Plains, the University of Missouri, University of Oklahoma and University of Nebraska all tied with four other schools at 111th overall and 51st among public universities. And those three were in a fiveway tie, along with Iowa State University and the University of Utah, for 51st place among public universities. The University of Colorado-Boulder came in 92nd overall and 38th among public schools. Kansas State University placed 135th overall and 64th among public schools. The news of KU slipping in the U.S. News rankings may not be well received in the Statehouse, where Gov. Sam Brownback and legislative leaders have strongly

However, Mayor Tim Reazin noted that what was to be a cheap project largely paid for through an internet fundraising drive would end up costing $100,000 when the time of city crews was included. He nonetheless agreed with Commissioner Ruth Hughs’ comment that it was important the project was done right, contrasting the current effort to the past installation of the undersized line at the water tower. “It’s ridiculous,” Reazin said. “Here we are again fixing a past mistake that never should have been done that way.” — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166.

urged state universities to improve their rankings and their national profiles. Brownback, however, did not immediately respond to the new rankings when asked about them during an impromptu conversation with reporters in the Statehouse, saying he had not yet seen the report. In a statement released in response to the rankings, KU said it has several initiatives in place that it hopes will boost future rankings. It noted that this year’s freshman class is the first to be admitted under new procedures aimed at helping students be more prepared to enter college. Officials said there are other initiatives underway aimed at helping improve student retention and graduation rates. “We know it can take time to have these rankings reflect our work to advance KU,” KU Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Neeli Bendapudi said in a news release. “We are making progress with new student support structures and people in place that enrich the student experience and ensure even more students succeed.”

At Dole forum, Kobach talks voting laws with KU Law adjunct prof By Elvyn Jones

jhlavacek@ljworld.com

More than 17 million American children are living with, either now or in the past, a diagnosable mental illness, according to a report released last year by New York City’s Child Mind Institute. Yet the majority of these young people remain untreated, creating what some experts have dubbed a public health crisis. Although awareness of conditions such as ADHD and autism has steadily increased over the years, there’s still a lot of work to be done in connecting parents with the proper resources, said Julie Boydston, director of the University of Kansas Child and Family Services Clinic. On Saturday, the clinic will host its first-ever Kids’ Behavioral Wellness Fair in the auditorium of the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Slated for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the event will provide some of those resources to parents, as well as free mental and behavioral screenings for kids of all ages, information on support services in the Lawrence community and activity booths where children can learn mindfulness and relaxation strategies.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and his occasional courtroom adversary Mark Johnson were in agreement on two key points Tuesday at a Dole Institute of Politics forum on voting laws and their intent. At the Constitution Day forum titled “Projecting Election Integrity, Voter Suppression, or Something Else?”, sponsored by the Dole Institute and the University of Kansas School of Law, the two attorneys agreed there is little mention of voting in the U.S. Constitution and, thus, states have broad authority to regulate when, where and how citizens vote. There was great diversity in who was allowed to vote in the original 13 states, and the constitution would not have been ratified had that document defined voters, Kobach

and Johnson agreed. That constitutional absence leaves a great deal of “gray areas,” which continue to be sorted out through ongoing litigation, the two attorneys said. Although the forum was less a debate than a vehicle for both attorneys to express their views on questions posed by moderator Stephen McAllister, former dean of the KU Law School, it did produce a couple of sharp, if friendly, exchanges between the two men, especially on the topic of the secretary of state’s attempts to advance a two-tiered voting system. The two disagreed on the intent of the legislation Kobach has pursued since he took office as Secretary of State in 2011: voter identification requirements and proof of citizenship for voter registration.

Johnson, an adjunct professor in the University of Kansas’ law and journalism schools, said the dates when the laws started being passed in other states gave a clue to their purpose. They began to pop up after the wave election of 2012, in which Republicans won control of the U.S House of Representatives and many state legislatures, he said. He stated that motivation of voter suppression more clearly when addressing the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in 2008, upholding an Indiana photo ID law. That decision was an “outlier” because the court didn’t consider the impact of the law. Subsequent litigation sought to make the case that the laws created a barrier for poor and minority voters, many of whom didn’t have access to birth certificates or other proof of citizenship documentation. Johnson cited the words of U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner, stating voting was a lowreward activity because an individual vote rarely made the difference in a race. Therefore, Posner argued, anything states do to put a “low hurdle” in the way of voting will

behaviors and more serious indicators of disorders. Left untreated, these conditions only worsen, she said, leading in some cases to lagging social skills and slipping grades. “We used to think that kids could not be depressed, period,” Boydston said. “But now we’re discovering that even young children can be depressed.” At the KU clinic, which operates as the primary training clinic for graduate students in the university’s clinical child psychology doctoral program, Boydston and her colleagues sometimes see children as young as 2 or 3 years old.

have an adverse effect on participation. There was no evidence of widespread voter fraud, Johnson said. What few cases that have been discovered were of people voting in Kansas and other states, an action that new laws would not have prevented and was already against the law, he said. Kobach’s office has not prosecuted any cases of false or duplicate registrations, he said. In his replies, Kobach agreed there was historical motivation for the laws, but said they stemmed from the 2008 election and the community action organization ACORN paying people to register to vote. Kansas was the first state to pass a comprehensive measure that tied voter ID and proof of citizenship, Kobach said. The law has since been duplicated in other states interested in voter security, he said. Kobach denied the laws were designed to suppress groups that traditionally vote for Democrats, and cited evidence from recent Kansas elections showing no statistical difference in turnout since their passage. He said he believed “voting should be easy, but fair,” and argued that testimony in the Kansas Legislature when legislation was being considered revealed existing abuses. Kobach and Johnson most sharply disagreed on the consequences of the state’s attempt to have a

two-tiered voting structure in this year’s election cycle. The system would have prevented voters who registered at motor vehicle offices before the state’s proof of citizenship requirement was passed in 2013 from voting in state and local elections. However, it would have allowed those same voters to cast ballots in federal races. In late July, the Kansas State Rules and Regulations Board worked with Kobach to pass a rule establishing the two-tiered system for 120 days. Johnson was critical of the board’s quick action on the rule and its timing, noting the action would expire the day after the general election. Although a Shawnee County District Court judge issued a temporary injunction against the rule, it clearly discouraged voter participation among the 17,500 voters it affected in the primary, Johnson said. Only 75 of the voters cast ballots in the primary, compared to an overall voter turnout of 23.5 percent. Kobach countered that the low turnout number among the affected voters stemmed from a general lack of interest in voting among many who were registered while getting driver’s licenses.

particular, she said, show up early in kids. Screenings, although not offering diagnoses or treatment, can at least provide parents with a solid foundation before seeking professional help. “If you’re thinking something’s not quite right, having someone validate that, or say, ‘This is typical’ or ‘It might be worth looking at this before it gets worse,’” can be an empowering experience for parents, Boydston said. Boydston, who stepped in as clinic director last month in the effort to expand community outreach, took on her new role amid recent growth at the KU clinic, which serves families across Douglas County and the surrounding area. Between fiscal years 2015 and 2016, the clinic has experienced a nearly 23 percent uptick in client contact.

The increased awareness surrounding mental health issues, particularly autism in recent years, has likely prompted some of that growth, Boydston speculates. She said she hopes Saturday’s event will leave parents feeling better equipped and informed. Simply becoming more comfortable with discussing mental health, she theorizes, might give parents the nudge needed to seek treatment for kids living with disorders. “Oftentimes, they might wait and wait and wait, and then it’s gotten worse,” Boydston said of getting treatment. “Being able to come in earlier and prevent some of those difficulties could help with that.”

Raise the age Requiring that people be 21 to buy tobacco products is a smart move.

he Tobacco 21 Initiative is an effort worth supporting and it makes sense for the Lawrence School Board to join. Members of the School Board were asked to endorse the initiative at a board meeting Monday. The board is expected to approve a resolution supporting the initiative at its next meeting. Several local agencies, including Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Health Care Access, Just Food and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, have already endorsed the initiative. The American Lung Association launched the Tobacco 21 initiative in an effort to get states across the country to join Hawaii and California in raising the minimum sales age for all tobacco products to 21. As of August, 190 cities and communities in 14 states have local Tobacco 21 laws in effect, including New York City, Boston and Chicago. LiveWell Lawrence is pushing for Lawrence and other cities in Douglas County to implement 21 as the minimum age for buying tobacco products within their city limits. Kansas City, Bonner Springs, Iola, Lenexa, Olathe, Lansing, Prairie Village and Wyandotte County all have adopted local Tobacco 21 laws. LiveWell Lawrence hopes to build a coalition of community support before urging the Lawrence City Commission to adopt a Tobacco 21 ordinance. Currently, the age for all tobacco products is 18. Nine out of 10 smokers report trying their first cigarette by age 18, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Chris Tilden, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s community health director, said studies suggest that underage smokers have access to tobacco products from peers who are just old enough to buy tobacco products. Pushing the legal age to 21 makes it harder for those underage to get access to tobacco and increases the odds that they won’t become smokers. “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,” Tilden said. The Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association opposes Tobacco 21 ordinances as government overreaching. Association President Tom Palace has said the initiative will simply push minors to go elsewhere for tobacco. Estimates are that tobacco products account for up to 25 percent of inside store sales in convenience stores. But there can be no denying the health risks associated with smoking and other tobacco products. As with alcohol and gambling, it makes sense to delay the decision to use such products until the age of 21. The Tobacco 21 initiative can save lives and is a cause worth supporting.

Clinton stumble gives Trump ammo Two weeks before the 1944 election, an already ailing President Franklin D. Roosevelt rode 50 miles in an open car through New York City in a driving rain, hoping to convince voters that he was healthy enough for a fourth term. He succeeded in winning re-election, only to die five months later.

“

Though it’s not unusual for presidential candidates, or even presidents, to get sick, some incidents became symbolic representations of political problems.”

Compare that to midsummer 1988, when, with polls showing Democrat Michael Dukakis leading the presidential race, President Ronald Reagan alluded to rumors that the Massachusetts governor had been treated for depression, declaring, “I’m not going to pick on an invalid.” Though Dukakis was healthy, his poll numbers began to decline, and he ultimately lost to Vice President George Bush. The latter incident shows the potentially damaging political impact of even unfounded rumors about candidates’ health in a modern presidential campaign. Besides, the day is long past when a candidate — or a White House — can conceal health issues like Roosevelt did in 1944 and President Woodrow Wilson did after a crippling stroke in 1919. Hillary Clinton’s stumble and near collapse Sunday from pneumonia came after rivals had sought to make political mischief by raising the question of her health with unproven innuendo. In that climate, what appears to be confirming evidence in the form of an oft-repeated video of the event and her

campaign’s failure to disclose for two days that she had pneumonia could have a very serious effect on this closely contested, very uncertain race. Though she has been more open about her health than rival Donald Trump, her weekend episode puts a special burden on her to disprove Trump’s frequent accusations that she lacks “the mental and physical stamina” to perform the presidency. There are two mitigating factors. Though Trump’s campaign manager immediately questioned Clinton’s “transparency,” the Republican nominee is a year older than Clinton and has revealed even less about his health. But on Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends” Monday morning, he said he recently had a full physical, pledging, “When the numbers come in, I’ll be releasing very, very specific numbers.” The second is that even Trump acknowledged the physical demands on presidential candidates. Besides, a bout of pneumonia doesn’t necessarily confirm his suggestions she is “a weak person,” who is “not strong enough to be president.” But given her history of blood clots, Clinton needs to refute that by her performance in the coming weeks — especially in the televised debates — and by releasing the

complete medical records nominees have traditionally disclosed. History contains a warning for her. Though it’s not unusual for presidential candidates, or even presidents, to get sick, some incidents became symbolic representations of political problems. In 1996, Republican nominee Bob Dole fell off a campaign platform in Chico, Calif. Though he soon started joking about it, the incident symbolized the fact that, at 73, he would have been the oldest person elected president. In the fall of 1979, amid sagging approval ratings, President Jimmy Carter collapsed in a 10-kilometer road race near the Camp David retreat while trying to keep up with more seasoned runners. It became a symbol for his declining political standing. And as President George H.W. Bush faced a Republican primary challenge from conservative commentator Patrick Buchanan in 1992, he collapsed and threw up at a state dinner in Japan. It came nine months after an earlier collapse while jogging because of what was diagnosed as a thyroid problem, raising questions about the 67-year-old president’s health. Dole, Carter and Bush all lost. If Clinton subsequently loses, future presidential

OLD HOME TOWN

campaign historians may cite this weekend as a precursor of her political demise. History also shows ways to respond. In 1984, his age (73) became an issue for President Ronald Reagan’s re-election after he gave a meandering closing debate statement that prompted a front page story in The Wall Street Journal. But he escaped political damage with a strong showing in the second debate and a typical Reagan quip that he wouldn’t exploit rival Walter Mondale’s “youth and inexperience.” But Reagan had more credibility than Clinton. Still, unless she shows more physical problems than have been indicated so far, Clinton may ultimately suffer more from her unfortunate weekend condemnation of half of Trump’s supporters as “deplorables,” though she subsequently moderated it. Besides, it’s hard to say what voters weighing two unpopular nominees will decide when they measure her weekend missteps against Trump’s frequent denigration of ethnic groups, his questionable statements about some issues, his propensity to misrepresent his own past and what even many Republicans decry as a lack of presidential temperament. —Carl P.

From the Daily Kansas Tribune for Sept. 14, 1866: l “The advance guard of the years grand army of grasshoppers ago has reached Lawrence. A few IN 1866 scouts came in on Tuesday, to spy out the land. The main body of the host is close upon us. Farmers report them as swarming in untold billions in the western part of the county; and the entire country, on to the setting sun, is covered with these active destroyers. Their voracity is terrible. They settle upon a field or garden, and in a few hours nothing but unsightly stalks remain to indicate that the hand of man had attempted to raise sustenance for himself from the fields devastated by these winged pests.” l “Several cases resembling cholera occurred in North Lawrence within a few days. We could not learn the number who died. Yesterday, Mrs. McMillen died, and her case is said to have been a very marked case of cholera.” — Reprinted with permission from local writer Sarah St. John.

To the editor: I believe the editorial cartoon on the Sept. 6 Opinion Page of our flag with Colin Kaepernick’s name on it is despicable. If you attend an anti-war demonstration after work, government at no level could penalize you for that. Your employer would be hard-pressed to win a court case if he tried to do so. But, if you are promoting your political views to a customer in the office place, your employer would be well within his rights to say, “Not while you’re on the job.” I believe the NFL would be well within its legal rights to say: “Our athletes are free to take any position they want on political issues on their own time. But when they are on the field wearing a team jersey, they will observe the basic appreciation and respect for our country. That is in line with the values of the NFL. If any player wants to sit during the National Anthem, he should get used to sitting during the entire game.” I believe that announcement by an NFL team would pass constitutional review.

Plan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“In terms of a representative democracy, what this is really all about is commissioners deciding on an individual basis — after hearing all the testimony, all the public input, all the survey, all the environmental information — what in each of your opinions you believe to be in the best interest for the community as a whole,” Markus said. “That’s how a representative democracy works.” Markus came to Lawrence in March after serving as the city manager of Iowa City. One of the tasks listed in the city’s advertisement of the position was for the new manager to help with the creation of a strategic plan. The strategic plan will be reviewed and voted on by the commission every two years following commission elections, and is not meant to replace the city’s comprehensive plan, Horizon 2020. Markus said Horizon 2020’s policies will help inform the strategic plan. The strategic plan process will use an outside facilitator, which Markus said he hopes will by selected by mid-October. He said that an independent facilitator is critical to the process, and will be better than him or another city staff member acting as facilitator. “I think it’s really helpful to have somebody that’s independent, that can kind of push back on us, so that I don’t dominate the conversation or a member of the commission doesn’t dominate the conversation or one of the staff members,”

LAWRENCE

Markus said. It’s recommended that the City Commission create the strategic plan over a period of six meetings, with the goal of completing it by midMarch 2017 so it can inform the next budget process. Markus said the intent is that the commission then revisit the plan in November 2017 and every two years thereafter. The structure of the commission allows the majority of the commission to change every two years, and Markus said he thinks that creates a tension toward long-range planning and thinking. In order to provide more continuity, Markus said he wants the strategic plan to be discussed after each election with incumbent, new and outgoing members of the commission. “I want them all in the same room having this discussion and the people that are the incumbents and those who are going off explaining why we did what we did in terms of our strategic plan,” Markus said. “…I think you’ll see that it gives you the process of a longerterm kind of agenda that you’re always heading toward.” The commission identified its broad priorities as part of 2017 budget planning. Those goal areas included six categories: public safety, mental health, infrastructure, non-motorized transportation/transit, affordable housing and economic development. After the work session, Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said better integrating those priorities into the budget process will allow a concrete way to assess progress. “Once we get the strategic plan and all of our priorities in there in more of a budgetary

fashion, then we can have quarterly reports saying this is what has been accomplished in the past quarter related to affordable housing,” Soden said. Soden also said she hopes the strategic planning process, particularly the progress report, will make it more clear to residents how different departments contribute to the overall management of the city. “City Hall is very bureaucratic,” Soden said. “We have all these processes and departments and formalities, and hopefully strategic planning will help let the average citizen see how City Hall is working for them.” The first opportunity for public input on the strategic plan will be next week. Markus will be offering a series of listening posts to facilitate one-on-one communication with the community to talk about the upcoming strategic planning process, the community’s vision and to discuss challenges and opportunities facing Lawrence. The first listening post will be held at 7:30 a.m. Sept. 23 at the Union Depot in North Lawrence, 402 N. Second St. — City Hall reporter Rochelle Valverde can be reached at 832-6314.

Preplanned, or “deliberate” targets, which can include a cash warehouse, car bomb factories or militant communication facilities, take an average of four to six weeks for approval. “Dynamic” targets of opportunity, such as the oil well, account for 85% of the strikes and can be approved in minutes if a high-level officer signs off. The highly controlled air campaign reflects a heightened sensitivity to civilian casualties in an era when social media draw the world’s attention to a single errant bomb. The number of confirmed civilian deaths in nearly 15,000 coalition strikes since the air war began in 2014 is 55, according to U.S. Central Command. Seven al-

President Obama’s allies often tout his record on ethics and transparency in the White House. He limited hires of federal lobbyists, and he barred them from funding his campaigns and inaugural events. He broke ground by publicly releasing the logs of who visits the White House. It’s not clear whether either candidate vying to succeed him would maintain those standards. Democrat Hillary Clinton accepts campaign money from lobbyists and relies on them to collect political donations from others. In all, federal lobbyists have raised a little more than $7 million on her behalf through the end of June. Clinton discloses the names of people who raise money on her behalf. Republican Donald Trump has not. In an election that has seen everyone from Trump to Clinton’s vanquished rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, rail against a “rigged” system in Washington, government-integrity advocates say Clinton has far exceeded Trump’s level of disclosure on everything from tax returns to top fundraisers. They’d like the candidates to detail the ethics policies they would enact if elected. “It’s remarkable that post-Labor Day, we don’t have a commitment from either candidate on these meaningful transparency issues,” said Meredith McGehee, policy director of the non-partisan Campaign Legal Center. Neither campaign responded to interview requests on the topic — even as they face fresh transparency questions this week. Clinton, 68, fell ill Sunday, and her aides acknowledged they mishandled the situation by waiting two days to disclose a pneumonia diagnosis. Clinton’s camp promised to release more medical details in the coming days. So has Trump, who said he underwent a medical examination in the past week. He is scheduled to do an hour-long interview on the topic Thursday on The Dr. Oz Show. Previous details about Trump’s health came from a four-paragraph letter from his physician, Harold Bornstein, which said the 70-year-old would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.” Last year, Clinton released a nearly two-page letter from her doctor that pronounced her in

Household incomes see first big gain since 2007 Mike Snider USA TODAY

After eight lean years, Americans got fatter paychecks in 2015 — their first significant hike since 2007 and the biggest since record keeping began in 1968. The U.S. median household income rose 5.2% to $56,516, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Tuesday. “This is a big deal,” President Obama said Tuesday in Philadelphia. “Across every age, every race in America, incomes rose, and the poverty rate fell. In fact, the typical household income of Americans rose by $2,800, which

is the single biggest one-year increase on record.” The income of the typical U.S. home still hasn’t managed to rise above where it was before the last recession. In 2007, median household income — the point at which half would make more, while the other half would make less — was $57,423, adjusted for inflation. Incomes peaked in 1999 at $57,909, also adjusted for inflation, the bureau said in its report, “Income and Poverty in the United States: 2015.” “We lifted 3.5 million people out of poverty,” Obama said. “The uninsured rate is the lowest it has been since they kept records. The

pay gap between men and women shrank to the lowest level ever.” Though the number of people in poverty shrank to 43.1 million from 46.7 million, the largest drop since 1968, there’s room for improvement, said House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas. “Today’s report is another disappointing confirmation that too many Americans are still struggling to provide for their families and reach their full potential,” he said. “The federal government invests billions of dollars each year in programs to help low-income Americans — but more than 43 million people continue to live

in poverty. It shouldn’t be this way in America.” Gary Burtless, an economist at the Brookings Institution, called the reduction in poverty “fairly sharp.” He wondered whether the increase in household income is spot on. He noted that the Census Bureau’s household income findings, based on population surveys, have trailed the increases found in the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ National Income and Product Accounts. Where Census data found incomes down 1.1% from 2013 to 2014, the BEA report had them up 2.1%, he says.

A spin in Uber’s self-driving car: Thrills, chills Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

PITTSBURGH Call it a leap of faith. In algorithms. And radar. And sensors. Getting behind the wheel of a self-driving car for the first time falls somewhere on the screeching spectrum between frightening and exhilarating. When Uber let me pilot a Ford Fusion sedan retrofitted with the ride-hailing firm’s autonomous driving technology through the streets of Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the future felt reachable. Uber employees trained to handle the self-driving car will begin picking up passengers who opt in to the pilot program starting Wednesday, conducting dozens of trips a day. (Self-driving cars will be assigned randomly when users request an UberX ride and will be free for a while.) Engineers will collect data and continue conducting their own tests, which have been underway in Pittsburgh for months, though Uber won’t disclose how many autonomous miles have been traveled. It marks a concrete step on the long road to completely driverless cars, which the Department of Transportation believes could one day eliminate traffic deaths altogether. “This is early days for us in a lot of ways,” said Raffi Krikorian,

leader of Uber’s Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, where the company recruited numerous specialists away from Carnegie Mellon University to accelerate its self-driving car push. “We’re learning every single day as we get on the road and are driving more and more.” In my 15-minute test drive with Uber engineers riding in the car as monitors, I zipped through the Strip District of Pittsburgh. Well, “zipped” isn’t the right term. More like, proceeded extremely cautiously. That’s because, like Google’s driverless car, the Uber-retrofitted Fusion follows all traffic rules, navigating the roadway like a teen on a driver’s test. That means never going a smidge over the speed limit or driving, shall we say, aggressively. Our new computer overlords, it turns out, actually obey the law. Who knew. But software gurus are furiously trying to teach cars to drive more like humans, who understand that sometimes you need to cross the yellow line for safety’s sake. What’s impressive about Uber is that it’s ready to accept passengers in a real-world urban environment, albeit one that’s specially mapped to ensure the car knows its surroundings. Using a combination of laser, radar, cameras and mapping, Uber engineers retrofitted about two dozen Fusion sedans they bought off dealership lots. During my ride, the Uber car handled several complex scenarios deftly. It navigated safely behind bicyclists and made turns

Other scenarios illustrated the car’s cautious ways. On multiple occasions, this time with an Uber engineer navigating, motorists ahead of our vehicle maneuvered toward the curb to parallel-park. The Uber car wanted to come to a complete stop in the roadway, instead of changing lanes and making its way around the parking vehicle. But since Uber car operators are trained to seize the wheel, accelerate or brake at any time to override the self-driving system and guide the vehicle as intended, my navigator did so and we bolted past the parker before the engineer reactivated the self-

U.S. aims for ‘zero’ civilian casualties

INSIDE COMMAND CENTER

The air war in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East is run from this sprawling desert base outside Doha, the capital of Qatar. Inside a massive, windowless concrete building, protected from the stifling desert heat, military men and women monitor banks of computer screens in a two-story room. On the walls above their heads are rows of screens, displaying surveillance video from throughout the region. It’s a long way from previous wars, when bomber pilots would take off for targets marked on a map and drop “dumb” bombs, having little or no communication with their home base. The bombs would often flatten entire city blocks or more. Today, technology allows commanders to control events thousands of miles away. The process for choosing ground targets begins with a nomination that could come from an intelligence analyst, ground forces or a pilot who sees a potential target, such as an enemy position, an oil well or a warehouse where the Islamic State stores cash. If the target is selected for fur-

legations are under investigation, and actual casualties are probably higher, since the military’s estimates include only those it has confirmed through a rigorous process. “Most times we’re trying to drive it to zero civilian casualties,” said Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, commander of the air campaign in the Middle East. Critics say the regulations to avoid non-combatant deaths are excessive and have undermined the air campaign. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., complained last year that three-quarters of the coalition’s aircraft came back to base without having dropped their weapons. “It’s a very convoluted system for fighting a war,” said Chuck Horner, a retired Air Force general who commanded air operations during the Persian Gulf War in 1990-91. “We’re fighting with one arm tied behind our back.” The military counters that today’s munitions are far more precise than the bombs dropped over Iraq during the Gulf War’s “shock and awe” campaign. Intelligence also has steadily improved.

driving system with a tap of a button in front of the gear shifter. And that’s where Uber still has a lot of work to do. “Your self-driving Uber has arrived,” blares Uber’s marketing slogan aimed at promoting the Pittsburgh pilot offering. Not quite. Take this, as an example. As I was in the driver’s seat, I was instructed to keep my hands lightly on the wheel but allow the car to steer itself — the same procedure Uber engineers follow in road tests. As the Fusion approached an intersection, intending to turn right, it temporarily lost sight of the traffic light, apparently obscured by the taller truck in front of us. At that point, the self-driving system turned off in-

stantly, sounding a little beep to notify me that I needed to take control of the wheel. It took me at least a second to recognize what was happening before I took control of the wheel and slowly executed the right-hand turn. We were never in real danger, but for a moment we were drifting in the middle of the intersection. Not good. That’s why Uber is currently restricting drivership of the vehicle to its own trained employees, who would understand how to respond in that scenario. And let’s be clear: Uber’s engineers are rapidly making advancements, tweaking algorithms, adopting the latest lightmapping technologies and negotiating potential partnerships with automakers. For starters, the Fusion is temporary. Uber on Tuesday showed journalists a stationary version of its next-generation autonomous car, the Volvo XC90, which has been developed in partnership with Volvo and is expected to start ferrying Pittsburgh passengers in early 2017. “We like to think about that car as the desktop computer,” said Eric Meyhofer, who oversees self-driving hardware for Uber, pointing to the Fusion in a briefing at the company’s new tech facility in Pittsburgh. He turned his gaze to the Volvo. “This one here (is the) laptop,” he said. “The next time you’re here, we’ll show you the smartphone.”

STAFF SGT. DOUGLAS ELLIS, U.S. AIR FORCES CENTRAL COMMAND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

A member of the U.S. Air Force monitors radar and communication traffic from a surveillance plane over Syria. ther review, analysts will gather surveillance video and other intelligence that will establish a “pattern of life” around it. Analysts assign the target a collateral damage estimate based on its proximity to civilians and the extent that danger to them can be lessened. If there is a risk of hitting nearby buildings, they mitigate the risk by choosing smaller bombs or a fuse that can delay the explosion, so a bomb detonates only after it penetrates the target. Military officers plot each bomb’s point of impact on a building or other target, measuring precisely the blast radius of each explosive they will drop. The selection of munitions can produce a precise impact. Recently, a communication tower near a school was hit in a way that made it collapse away from a cluster of nearby buildings.

“It’s a very convoluted system for fighting a war.” Chuck Horner, retired Air Force general

The analysts reduce risks to civilians by determining when to strike, such as at night when civilians wouldn’t be around. Even after all those precautions, pilots will abort a mission if civilians unexpectedly approach a target by car or foot as the bombing is about to begin. For U.S. advisers or the Iraqi or Syrian ground forces they work with, the wait for an OK can be excruciating. In June, coalition aircraft unleashed a massive airstrike on Islamic State convoys fleeing Fallujah in western Iraq. Approval came only after surveillance drones viewed the targets for hours to ensure there were no civilians inside the convoys. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES?

Coalition commanders point out that intelligence has improved during the air war, allowing pilots

to attack an increasing number of targets, despite the restrictions. Pilots dropped an average of 496 bombs and other munitions per week this year, up from 144 in 2014, the year the air war began. Targeting the militants’ cash warehouses and oil facilities has forced the Islamic State to cut pay to civilian workers by 50% and pay to its fighters by 20%, according to Harrigian, the campaign’s commander. Those figures don’t satisfy critics who say some targets are not hit because the approval time is too slow and a more robust campaign might increase the risk to civilians but end the Islamic State’s reign of terror sooner. “I don’t care how much live communications you have, there’s no way you get through layers of bureaucracy quick enough,” said Chris Harmer, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War and a former naval aviator. “If our prime goal is minimizing civilian casualties, then let’s just throw in the towel and walk away,” Harmer said. “People will accept civilian casualties as an inevitable byproduct if they think there is a strategic goal of defeating the enemy and replacing it with something better.” Geoffrey Corn, a former Army lawyer and expert on wartime law, defended the military’s emphasis on avoiding civilian casualties as a necessary objective to prevent a backlash from the local population. Hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of civilians have died in previous wars. Global public opinion would no longer accept casualties anywhere near that level, analysts say. “The application of force is driven by the political climate of the time,” said Dik Daso, a military historian and professor at the University of South Carolina. “People have come to believe that we can really do anything with these weapons and there is no excuse for hitting civilians.”

“excellent physical condition” and spelled out test results and a number of conditions, such hyperthyroidism. Eight years ago, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 Republican nominee, let reporters view more than 1,100 pages of his medical history in a rare move to quell concerns about his health. McCain is a cancer survivor who spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. In 2008, an animating theme of Obama’s presidential campaign was a drive to reduce the influence of lobbyists in Washington and create a more open government. On his first day in office, Obama signed an executive order that barred former federal lobbyists from working for agencies they had lobbied during the previous two years. He barred his appointees from lobbying their ex-colleagues for two years after leaving the government, although critics note that hasn’t stopped a stream of former aides from taking lucrative government-affairs jobs. “One can certainly criticize his transparency record, but you can’t say it wasn’t part of his agenda,” said John Wonderlich of the non-profit Sunlight Foundation. This year, he said, “transparency is coming up in a negative, accusatory aspect, rather than: ‘How we can we run the government better?’ ” Clinton, who has released nearly 40 years of tax returns, has hammered Trump over his refusal to release his. He has cited an ongoing IRS audit as the obstacle. Presidential candidates aren’t required to release their tax returns, but every major-party nominee has done so for the past four decades. Tuesday, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told CNN that Trump would make his taxes public “when his lawyers and his accountants tell him that he should release them.” Trump’s camp routinely casts Clinton as corrupt, slamming her for erasing thousands of emails on the private server she used as secretary of State and granting State Department access to Clinton Foundation donors. McGehee, other government watchdogs and Clinton allies say the former secretary of State remains far ahead of Trump on transparency. “It doesn’t compare,” said Norman Eisen, who served as Obama’s top ethics lawyer in the White House. “Hillary Clinton has promised to redress Citizens United, and Mr. Trump has

brought the head of Citizens United into his campaign!” he said, referring to the appointment of veteran conservative activist David Bossie as Trump’s deputy campaign manager. Until recently, Bossie ran Citizens United, the group whose case before the Supreme Court led to a blockbuster decision in 2010 allowing unlimited corporate and union money in candidate elections. Obama’s executive order on ethics remains in force after he leaves office, but the next president can opt to rescind it or replace it with his or her own ethics policy. There are signs that Clinton aides are devising one. Her camp has reached out to watchdogs to gather more ideas on ethics, McGehee said. Trump largely has made blanket statements about Obama’s executive orders, and in a speech Monday night, he pledged to “immediately terminate every single unconstitutional executive order” Obama has signed.

Q: Should I toss my junk bonds? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Junk bonds have been treasure for investors willing to take a gamble. Some investment pros, though, are starting to worry this asset class could get incinerated. The iShares iBoxx$ High Yield Corporate Bond exchange-traded fund (HYG) has generated equity-beating returns this year. The fund, which owns a basket of junk bonds, is up by nearly 7% this year on price appreciation alone. That doesn’t even include the 5.5% dividend yield that attracted so many investors in the first

place. The Standard & Poor’s 500, in comparison, is also up 5.6% this year but yields just about 2%. Junk bonds have turned into one of the only places for investors hungry for decent income to turn to as interest rates stay persistently low. Junk bonds still aren’t overvalued, Brian Rehling, co-head of global fixed income strategy at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says in a note to clients. But while junk bonds have been paying off for investors, the risks are rising. Rehling says junk bonds are still attractive, but investors should be prepared if conditions change. If the spread between junk and Treasuries gets closer to 4 percentage points, that could be a sign junk is overpriced.

‘Oprah effect’ wears off as Weight Watchers sinks Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Oprah Winfrey’s halo effect on Weight Watchers is disappearing fast. The media mogul and 10% owner of Weight Watchers has seen $117 million in wealth vanish as shares of the company have crashed 66% from their high notched in November 2015 on enthusiasm over her involvement with the company. Shares of Weight Watchers

were down another 68 cents, or 6.6%, to $9.68 Tuesday after the company said it is replacing its CEO. The value of the company has dropped $1.2 billion in value since the peak hit after Winfrey came on board. Reality is setting in now as things haven’t worked out as many investors hoped after Winfrey formed close professional ties with the company in October 2015. The stock is still above the $6.79 a share it traded for before Winfrey took her stake and became the third-largest investor.

But the level of enthusiasm is proving in hindsight to have been overdone. The company’s revenue during the just-completed secondWIREIMAGE quarter of Winfrey has $309.8 million lost $117M is flat with a on paper. year ago, although profit is up 9.3%. The company lost $10.8 million in the first quarter. Winfrey is now using her posi-

tion on the board to push for management changes. Late Monday, the company said it will replace the CEO of three years as of Sept. 30, James Chambers, the same chief executive who was running the company when Winfrey joined. Shares of Weight Watchers more than doubled to $13.92 a share the day Winfrey announced in mid-October 2015 she was more closely associating herself with the weight-loss company, including buying 10% of the company’s stock and joining the board. Shares soared 169% in just two

days to $18.25 after the announcement of Oprah’s involvement on Oct. 19, 2015, turning into a tidy two-day profit for Winfrey of $73 million. That doesn’t include the paper gains from 3.5 million additional shares she could buy by exercising options. The enthusiasm for the company continued up until November 2015 when the stock hit its high of $28.05 a share. All told, the value of Weight Watchers soared $1.4 billion in the months following Winfrey’s involvement.

GUEST LIST PACKS ‘BIG BANG’ The (sitcom) stars align as families gather for Penny and Leonard’s wedding Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) exchange vows before friends and family in the Season 10 premiere of The Big Bang Theory.

Bill Keveney USA TODAY

BURBANK , CALIF. When TV’s most-watched comedy throws a wedding, it only makes sense to have a glittery guest list, including stars from Roseanne, Taxi, Cybill, Married ... With Children, 30 Rock and other past hits. Fourteen actors — eight series regulars and six guest stars — crowd a set made to look like an arboretum, as ceremonial vows are exchanged for already married Penny (Kaley Cuoco) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) in The Big Bang Theory’s 10th-season premiere, airing Monday (8 ET/ PT) on CBS. Love eventually triumphs, but not without some awkward asides, courtesy of Sheldon (Jim Parsons); Leonard’s antagonistic, divorced parents (Christine Baranski and Judd Hirsch); and Penny’s nervous, insecure mother (Katey Sagal) and ex-jailbird brother (Jack McBrayer). No-

nonsense officiant Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) barks at the miscreants to keep the ceremony from disintegrating. On set, however, the mood is anything but tense, as the cast jokes and laughs between takes. McBrayer has castmates in stitches. “Jack’s hilarious,” Cuoco says during a shooting break. “He thinks we have it too easy here.”

LIFELINE

Bang regulars are impressed with their guests, whose shows have been staples of comedy for years. (One rough studio estimate has cast and writers’ credits topping 4,000 episodes.) “Everywhere you look, it’s TV royalty,” Rauch says. The sitcom’s extended family has grown over the years. Baranski, as cold psychologist Beverly, and Laurie Metcalf, who plays

Sheldon’s Bible-quoting mother, Mary, have made several appearances; Hirsch’s first visit as Alfred came in May’s season finale. “Meeting a character’s parents is like meeting a friend’s parents. You learn a lot about that friend when you meet their family. ‘Oh, that makes sense now,’ ” Galecki says. As Penny and Leonard make their vows, the premiere also builds on the potential romance between Alfred and Mary, who left the pre-ceremony family dinner together in May, worrying their sons. “I hope Alfred and I are able to continue to see each other,” Metcalf says of the characters. “I think we’re the only ones who are pleased about that.” The opener features the first appearance of Sagal’s Susan and McBrayer’s eternally cheerful meth salesman, Randall, along with the return of Keith Carradine as Penny’s dad, Wyatt. Penny’s rural-Nebraska family feels out of its element. “These

are intellectuals and scientists. We come into it with something of an inferiority complex,” Carradine says. And Penny’s mom, Susan, is mortified about Randall’s drug conviction. “I’m humiliated that Penny has implied that she’s told everybody that her brother has been in jail,” Sagal says. “So, I’m nervous to meet them all.” Cuoco is happy fans will meet Penny’s family, and “ecstatic” Sagal will again play her mom, echoing their relationship on ABC’s 8 Simple Rules. The pair became especially close after the sudden death of series star John Ritter. “We went through a traumatic life change together. She was unbelievable,” Cuoco says. Nevertheless, “I had never even thought of Katey (for the Big Bang role). Maybe it’s because when one thing is done, you move onto something else. When they named her, I almost thought it was too wild of an idea. It ended up being perfect.”

MAKING WAVES ‘Full Frontal’ host Samantha Bee dove headfirst into the presidential election on Monday, insisting that news outlets have left the public “swimming in bad GETTY IMAGES information” and failed to help them wade through the “geysers of mendacious vomit that spews non-stop from the Trump campaign.” Bee specifically criticized Matt Lauer’s moderation of the Commander in Chief Forum with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last week, referring to the ‘Today’ show co-host as a “human Splenda” with “crack journalism skills.” CAUGHT IN THE ACT As Beyoncé’s protégés, it’s only right that musical sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, known professionally as Chloe x Halle, are in ‘Formation’ at high-profile events. Their latest appearance? Front row at Tory Burch’s Tuesday show at New York Fashion Week. The soulful singers had the fashion elite bowing down over their coordinating navy-and-white outfits, which they both paired with low-key booties.

‘Talent’ triumphs in summer audience battle Simon Cowell helps boost the contest to best ratings in 5 years Bill Keveney USA TODAY

America’s Got Talent will crown a Season 11 champion Wednesday night, but there’s already a clear winner: the show itself. The NBC talent competition (8 ET/PT) is again summer’s toprated program, enjoying its biggest audience in five seasons (an average of 13.7 million viewers, up 10% from last year) and its best performance with young adults since 2013. Besides naming a winner, Wednesday’s finale will feature performances by Stevie Nicks, The Jersey Boys and Il Volo. Judge Howie Mandel attributes the increased popularity to a rising level of talent, especially among singers, that has accompanied the arrival of AGT executive producer and former American Idol arbiter Simon Cowell as a judge, replacing Howard Stern. (They join Mel B and Heidi Klum.) “Simon created more of a gravitas to the judging panel; it’s not just a talent contest, but stars can be made,” Mandel says, referring to performers such as One Direction, Susan Boyle and Fifth Harmony who have competed on Cowell’s X Factor. Contestants “come on with hopes of not just doing well in this contest but having a career beyond this, and singing in front of Simon Cowell means more than it ever meant before.” Mandel marvels at the youngest competitors, including 14year-old opera singer Laura Bretan and this season’s breakout performer, singer-songwriter

First-season judge Simon Cowell, left, and fellow panelists Howie Mandell, Mel B and Heidi Klum crown a Season 11 winner Wednesday night. Grace VanderWaal, who’s just 12. “All these really young people, younger than ever before, are showing up and doing things at a level far beyond anybody three times their age,” he says. VanderWaal “is not only an adorable, lit-

tle ukulele-playing singer, but an amazing, already accomplished songwriter who has caught the ear of everyone in the business.” The success of Cowell’s preseason goal of attracting more singers is reflected in the finals: Half the field consists of musical acts, including Brian Justin Crum, Sal Valentinetti and Linkin’ Bridge. But the finale also features juggler Viktor Kee, magician Jon Dorenbos, contortionist Sofie Dossi, mime/comedian Tape Face (aka Sam Wills) and mentalist duo The Clairvoyants. “The variety is impeccable,” says Mandel, who won’t predict a winner but says VanderWaal, “regardless of whether she comes in first, second or third, will explode as having the biggest career out of these kind of shows since Carrie Underwood or Kelly Clarkson.”

Dear Annie: A number of years ago, my parents trusted their money and retirement income to a financial adviser who was also a personal friend. When my father passed away seven years ago, my mother became his beneficiary, with me being second in line. My mother had a huge memorial celebration for my father, which cost a few thousand dollars and was attended by 100 people. My mother recently passed away unexpectedly, and while settling her affairs, I was informed that her investments have been terminated. It seems that the financial adviser set up the original investments to be surrendered back to the entities that were originally set up by my father. What do I say to the friends and neighbors who are expecting a lav-

Duck doc joins art and nature The very best documentaries suggest story and character ideas for great feature films. “The Million Dollar Duck” (8 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-PG) more than qualifies. Tightly focused on a small subculture, the documentary profiles six artists who compete each year in the Federal Duck Stamp Contest. Hunters must buy this stamp every season, with proceeds from its sale going to the purchase and protection of wildlife refuges for migrating fowl. The stamp contest, the only juried art competition run by the U.S. government, was the brainchild of a Depressionera cartoonist. He felt that art and nature conservancy were a perfect combination. And over the decades, millions of hunters, stamp buyers and collectors have agreed. The film belongs to the painters. We meet a regular guy from New Jersey whose “art” career consists of painting pumpkins and Santas on the windows of supermarkets and car dealerships. He hopes winning the stamp contest will earn him validation as a “real” painter. Three brothers from Minnesota have won so many contests that they were even cited in the 1996 movie “Fargo,” which includes a tiny subplot about duck stamps. A rural mail carrier won the Junior Duck Stamp Contest in her youth, but would prefer the real prize. An art school dropout hungers to get the top prize once again. One dreamy duck artist taught her blind dachshund to “paint.” She sounds only a little disappointed when she reveals that her dog’s painting sells better than her own. And what contest, or documentary, would be complete without the rebel? A rather buttoned-down Minneapolis “punk” goes out of his way to break all of the contest’s rules and even incorporates parodies of the competition into his paintings, tweaking its pieties and politics. As you might expect, “Duck” culminates in a judged contest, an elimination round and a “reveal” of the new winner, just like any reality series. It’s really the perfect little movie, celebrating nature, memorable people and their quiet yet deeply felt passions. Tonight’s season finales and other highlights

I am at a loss and don’t know what to do. — Uncredited Dear Uncredited: Your best and safest bet is to get hooked up with a good financial adviser. Find a fee-only adviser by going to http://www.napfa.org. He or she can then assess your situation and present all your available options. Aside from that, look into joining a credit union. Credit unions are great for those establishing credit for the first time. You won’t get amazing credit overnight, but no one does. It will come with time, as you’re clearly a responsible person. — Send your questions for Annie Lane to dearannie@ creators.com.

Kinner is key to Memphis victory

FSHS volleyball sweeps City Showdown matchup

ollege football coaches forever put a premium on secrecy when formulating just the right game plan to crush the enemy. They love surprise attacks. Sometimes, they overthink it and avoid the obvious out of fear that a lack of deception would be equivalent to walking blindly into a trap. Rare is the college coach who would go into a game thinking, “Last time we played them this seemed to work pretty well, so why not do it again?” Now seems like a nice time for a Kansas football team that had its confidence rocked in a sloppy, 37-21 home loss Saturday to Ohio to do just that. As in, Ke’aun Kinner had a nice game last season in a 55-23 loss to Memphis, so make him the center piece of the offensive game plan going into Saturday’s 11 a.m. kickoff in the home of the blues. Kinner carried the ball 16 times and gained 113 yards vs. Memphis. If he did it then, he can do it again. Most of the memories from an 0-12 squad aren’t pleasant, but the best moment of the season came against the Tigers in Memorial Stadium, when the scoreboard never looked better for the Jayhawks. “I remember scoring that one touchdown and just the celebration because we were up 10-0 at the time,” Kinner said. “It was just a good feeling. We beat ourselves that day, but we’re ready to return the favor.” Kinner’s 5-yard touchdown run came at the 9:48 mark of the first quarter of the season’s second game. Seven minutes and 20 seconds later, Memphis caught up. Kansas never held another lead for the rest of the season. It also never led in the 2015 season-opening loss to South Dakota State, so it’s indisputable that Kinner was the central figure in the high point of a schedule packed with lows. In Saturday’s slow-start loss, Kinner carried the ball five times for 16 yards. Overall, the Jayhawks gained just 26 yards on 15 rushes. The middle of the offensive line didn’t create any surge and scripted quarterback runs ought to become a bigger part of the plan. Head coach David Beaty talked about the need to play a more physical game in Memphis. Nothing sets that tone offensively quite like featuring the running game. Sure, 8 of 11 offensive linemen listed on this week’s depth chart are freshmen or sophomores, but game-planning around youth isn’t an aggressive way to go. Southeast Missouri senior running back Will Young out of Wichita Southeast and Highland Community College rushed for 114 yards in a 35-17 loss to Memphis two weeks ago. Whatever SEMO does, KU should do better.

FREE STATE HIGH JUNIOR CAMERYN THOMAS CELEBRATES a point during the Firebirds’ match against Lawrence High on Thursday at LHS.

One of the biggest strengths for Free State High’s volleyball team, both figuratively and literally, is height at the net. It’s a tall task for opponents to hit clear shots over the net. It’s equally as hard to defend against Free State’s heavy hitters. When the Firebirds trailed by five points in the second set of the City Showdown on Tuesday, the main message in their team’s huddle, trying to stop Lawrence High’s outside hitters, was to keep a disciplined block at the net. The Firebirds responded by winning eight straight points — including four blocks from seniors Naomi Hickman and Payton Gannaway — and sweeping the City Showdown in the Jungle, 25-14, 25-21. Along with the big blocks in the decisive, match-winning stretch, Gannaway and senior Natalie Clarke added kills on offense. “It’s a huge difference when you have two people that are over six-foot that can block like that,” junior outside hitter Cameryn Thomas said. “It’s amazing.” With two big student sections on op-

Veritas volleyball tops Seabury, KC East By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Whenever Veritas Christian Academy’s volleyball team needed a kill to turn the tides in its favor, junior Chloe Holland rose to the occasion in the Eagles’ wins over Kansas City East and Bishop Seabury Academy Tuesday at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. The humble-minded Holland led the Eagles with 36 kills, as Veritas defeated KC East in three sets (25-17, 15-25, 25-19) and swept the crosstown rival Seahawks (27-25, 25-21), but deflected the credit to her teammates. “I couldn’t do it without my seniors. I’ve tried to step it up from last year, and it’s been going good,” “Holland said. “We are really gelling as a team and overall improving.” The Eagles (12-4) got off to a fast start against the Seahawks en route to building a 21-13 lead in the first set, but Seabury did not go quietly. Seabury sophomore Lindsey Hornberger sparked a rally

VERITAS CHRISTIAN ACADEMY JUNIOR CHLOE HOLLAND (RIGHT) jumps in the air while celebrating a kill with her teammates in the first set of the Eagles’ sweep of Bishop Seabury Tuesday at the East Lawrence Recreation Center. Veritas defeated Seabury in straight sets (27-25, 25-21). with two kills and three aces during a 9-3 run to tie it up at 24-24. “Lindsey is an incredible player,” first-year Seabury coach Danielle Geronymo said. “During the warm-up, I said, ‘You have no idea how

big you are and how big you are going to get.’ She’s really gifted.” Holland and the Eagles’ high-powered offense proved to be too much for the Seahawks, though, as Veritas won three of the final four

points to take the opening set. Veritas head coach Kyle Billings has been pleased with how Holland has challenged herself to lead the team offensively, and is encouraged

David Beaty to coach Kansas’ punt returners By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When David Beaty spoke to his 87-year-old mother, Bobbie Ford, following his Kansas football team’s Saturday home loss to Ohio, she told her son the same thing everyone who watched the game was thinking, too. “Y’all got to hang on to that ball when they punt it to you,” Beaty said of her Nick krug/Journal-World photo opening line in their conKANSAS WIDE RECEIVER LAQUVIONTE GONZALEZ versation.

That’s why after quarter on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. the Jayhawks gave away two

So he didn’t

hesitate to involve himself in solving the punt return problem. “That’s why I’m doing it,” the head coach said of stepping in. “(Ohio) played a complementary football game and we struggled to play together as a unit throughout that game… The third quarter was a pretty good exception to that. And then we turned it over again.” Indeed, after an early third-quarter TD pass from Montell Cozart to Steven

about the chemistry she has built with setter Emma Wilson. “Everybody has a role on this team, and we look to her (Holland) to get a lot of kills,” Billings said. “Emma Wilson, our setter, did a good job finding her and getting her the kind of sets that she can get kills on. When she wasn’t available for us, I feel like everybody else really stepped up to help keep the momentum going.” One of the players who stepped up for the Eagles when they were in a rut offensively was Billings’ daughter and Veritas middle blocker Brienne Billings.

posite ends of Lawrence’s gymnasium, the Firebirds (74, ranked No. 9 in Class 6A) showed no signs of nerves and won seven of the first nine points in the first set. They were led by a balanced offensive attack from Naomi and Rachel Hickman and Gannaway, helped by setters Jenalee Dickson and Mya Gleason. The Lions (5-10) committed eight attacking errors in the opening set and only had six kills — three from senior Amelia Dunlap. “I think the first set, we had a lot of adrenaline building,”

Dunlap said. “We didn’t really focus that adrenaline toward the game. We made a lot of mistakes in the first (set). But the second (set), we got our heads together and really had that drive to win, but it didn’t work out.” At the start of the second set, the Lions found an offensive rhythm with kills from Dunlap, junior Brooke Wroten, sophomore Baylee Unruh and junior Katelyn Mask on passes from setters Laurel Bird and Laura Willoughby. Dunlap said they worked on tooling the block in practice — forcing overaggressive blocks to ricochet the ball out of bounds. Even after Thomas hit backto-back kills, which appeared to give the Firebirds momentum, the Lions took a 21-16 lead in the

second set after two aces from Mask. “Less unforced errors, more aggressive all around,” LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said of Lawrence’s improved play in the second set. When the Lions looked on the verge of forcing a third set, with their student section at a full roar, the Firebirds refocused on defense and showed how dangerous their height can be for opposing attacks. “We just got rolling,” said 6-foot-4 middle hitter Naomi Hickman, who led with seven kills and five blocks. Thomas added three kills and a team-best 13 digs while the 6-1 Gannaway had three kills and four blocks. Prior to the City Showdown, both schools lost to Olathe

Northwest (9-3, No. 6 in 6A) in their opening matches of the LHS triangular, which is all a part of Sunflower League play. The Firebirds, who had trouble making passes out of their serve receive defense, lost 25-11, 25-22. Olathe Northwest beat Lawrence, 25-19, 25-18. “We were just not ready to play ball. Period,” Hoffsommer said. “Just not making smart plays right off of the start. Then with Lawrence High, it was like we were looking at our block, hitting around it, paying attention to where the hitters were going. Just much more on the ball.” The Firebirds will play in a triangular at Topeka Seaman at 5 p.m. today.

KU coaches head to New York, Jersey for recruit visits By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas men’s basketball coaching staff is headed out east to make the rounds on the recruiting trail. Matt Scott of TheShiver.com reported Tuesday that KU coach Bill Self would be in New York Tuesday to visit two of the top ranked underclassmen in the country in 2018 center Moses Brown and 2019 point guard Cole Anthony. Scott calls Anthony “one of the best PGs in the country no matter class,” and says he is a complete player. As for Brown, the 7-foot, 210-pound big man is a versatile and athletic big who can both run the floor, hit the mid-range jumper, finish at the rim and control the paint defensively. Anthony, a 6-2, 180-pound, five-star prospect, is the sixthranked player in the 2019 class, according to Rivals.com. The five-star Brown is the No. 17 ranked player in the 2018 class according to Rivals. com.

Gak visit next With the KU coaches already on the East Coast, Shay Wildeboor, of JayhawkSlant.com, reported that their next stop following Tuesday’s time with the underclassmen would be in Blairstown, New Jersey, where they will conduct an in-home visit with 2017 big man Deng Gak on Wednesday. Gak, 6-9, 210 pounds, is a four-star prospect ranked No. 91 overall in the Rivals 150. Gak became a greater priority for the Jayhawks after No. 1 overall ranked 2017 prospect DeAndre Ayton chose Arizona last week. Wildeboor also is reporting that Gak has scheduled his official campus visit to Kan-

sas for the weekend of Oct. 21. The Jersey power forward recently narrowed his list of suitors to five: Kansas, Duke, Indiana, Miami and Florida.

Troy Brown feedback Speaking of Browns, Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi briefly caught up with Class of 2017, five-star guard Troy Brown after his Monday visit with the KU coaching staff. Troy Brown, ranked No. 12 overall in the 2017 class, welcomed Self and assistant Kurtis Townsend to his Las Vegas home on Monday and, according to Bossi, enjoyed the experience. “It was a very comfortable visit,” Brown told Bossi. “Especially already having that connection with Coach Self and talking to him before. Coach Townsend has been talking to me for a while and we had a good conversation. It was lots of laughing.” The KU coaches double-dipped in Vegas on Monday, with home visits with Brown and five-star big man P.J. Washington. Brown’s busy week of visits — which continued Tuesday with in-homes with Cal and Oregon — have put him in the position to feel good about the timing and direction of his recruitment. Brown will visit Oregon the weekend of Sept. 23, KU the weekend of Late Night (Oct. 1) and Georgetown on Oct. 5. Arizona and UCLA are both also still alive for Brown. “I feel like I have a really good game plan,” Brown told Bossi. “Mostly, I’m trying to see that I enjoy it and have a good feel for the school. For me, I feel like I am going to finish all of my visits. I am going to finish and hopefully decide for the November signing period.”

Athletics 5, Royals 4. Kansas City, Mo. — Pinch hitter Yonder Alonso delivered a two-run double in the eighth inning and the Oakland Athletics rallied past Kansas City 5-4 Tuesday night, another key loss for the Royals. The defending World Series champion Royals dropped five games out of the wild-card race with only 18 games left. Joakim Soria blew his seventh save chance in eight opportunities. He was summoned with two outs in the eighth and the Royals clinging to a 3-2 lead. On his second pitch, Soria gave up a double to Alonso over the head of center fielder Jarrod Dyson, scoring Brett Eibner and pinch runner Joey Wendle. Soria then yielded an RBI single to Marcus Semien. Rookie Matthew Strahm (2-1), who gave up an infield single to Chad Pinder before Soria replaced him, took the loss. John Axford (6-4) pitched one inning. Ryan Madson balked home Dyson with two outs in the ninth before closing for

KU not good enough on ‘money down’ By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas football coach David Beaty likes referring to third down as the “money down.” In Saturday’s home loss to Ohio, his Jayhawks went broke on offense, going 0-for-8 on third-down conversions. When reviewing the numerous issues that plagued KU in Week 2, as Beaty and his players prepare for their first road game of the season at Memphis, the head coach pointed to first-down ineffectiveness leading to money-down failures on both sides of the ball. Ohio went 2-for-3 on third downs in the first quarter, and 3-for-7 in the second before finishing the game 9-for-22. Beaty said KU’s offensive struggles in the first half made things more difficult on the defense, but he refused to give the defense a pass for failing to force Ohio punts.

“Now regardless, you have to be good on the money down,” Beaty said. “… Doesn’t matter whether it’s third-andlong, third-and-short, third-and-medium, you have to be good there. We were 0-of-8 on those opportunities. Just got to be better. That’s a chore for all of us, not just our players.”

KU’s game plan at QB In the Jayhawks’ first loss of the season, junior Montell Cozart played almost exclusively at quarterback — a change from the previous week, when sophomore Ryan Willis got more reps against Rhode Island. Against Ohio, Cozart completed 17 of 24 pass attempts for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Willis threw just five passes, completing one for eight yards, with an interception. Beaty described KU’s QB situation for Saturday’s game at Memphis

as “very similar,” adding Cozart looked healthy at Monday’s practice. Willis completed seven of nine throws for 144 yards and two touchdowns against Rhode Island in a win. Cozart certainly didn’t perform flawlessly versus Ohio while emerging as the clear starter. In particular, Beaty pondered how KU’s chances might have improved had the QB connected with a “wide open” LaQuvionte Gonzalez on one first-half throw that looked like a sure TD. “He kind of got on me about that one,” Cozart said, “because he said, ‘We need that. We need that play. You never know what that play could’ve done for the rest of the game.’ And I feel like that play would’ve sparked us. No doubt.” Beaty chose not to reveal Tuesday whether he would rotate Willis in at QB against Memphis (10).

BRIEFLY LHS soccer postponed Mother nature spoiled plans on Tuesday night for Lawrence High’s boys soccer team. Just as the match against Olathe Northwest was set to begin,

both teams were asked to move indoors due to severe weather. After approximately 20 minutes of delay, the game was ultimately postponed. It will be made up at LHS on Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. The Lions (2-1) were seeking redemption after

a 1-0 loss in overtime at Washburn Rural last Thursday. Both wins of the season have come at home where Lawrence High won’t play again until Sept. 29. In fact, due to the weather postponement, the Lions will now play six consecutive

games on the road. LHS will travel to Shawnee Mission Northwest at 7 p.m Thursday.

FSHS soccer falls 3-0 Free State High’s boys soccer team suffered its

first loss of the season Tuesday, losing 3-0 on the road against Shawnee Mission Northwest. The game was called at halftime because of inclement weather. The Firebirds (2-1) will travel to Olathe Northwest at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Football CONTINUED FROM 1C

Sims Jr. cut Ohio’s lead to 28-14, KU didn’t get the ball back following a defensive stop when Gonzalez fumbled another punt. “We had some momentum going,” Beaty said of that critical juncture and miscue. “It would have been nice to see, had we been able to take care of that last punt, what could have happened there, because we had some things going there. There were some things that we did well (in the second half).” When asked who used to coach KU’s punt returners at practices, Beaty declined to answer during his Tuesday press conference. “That doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter,” the KU coach replied. “I’m taking it over.” According to Beaty, his hands-on approach won’t include replacing Gonzalez, a junior receiver he has known since their time together at Texas A&M, as the Jayhawks’ primary returner. The coach remains confident in Gonzalez, who through two weeks has accumulated three punt returns for a net of -2 yards because of the blunders. In a Week 1 drubbing of Rhode Island, Gonzalez, who mostly has been limited to making fair catches, returned a punt 17 yards. As a receiver, Gonzalez leads Kansas (1-1) with 12 receptions. His 123 receiving yards trail team-leader Sims (238), and he caught a touchdown pass versus Rhode Island. And who knows how much worse KU’s loss to Ohio (1-1) would’ve been had Gonzalez not given the Jayhawks some hope with a 99-yard touchdown on a kickoff return in the second quarter, when Kansas trailed 25-0. So there are visible examples of why Beaty remains confident in the 5-foot-10 dynamo from Cedar Hill, Texas. “Oh yeah. Quiv is talented now,” Beaty said. “Quiv, he’s a threat to take it to the house any time he touches the football. So we have to find a way to help him with those things. His mistake was very simple. He didn’t beat the ball to the spot. He took his eyes off it. That’s a cardinal sin when you’re a punt returner. You cannot take your eyes off.” Senior safety Fish Smithson fielded a fair catch on a punt vs. Ohio following Gonzalez’s second slip-up. But Beaty wants to keep Gonzalez involved in special teams to maximize his impact. “He’s doing a lot for us,” Beaty said, “and we’ve got to make sure that we monitor, you know, his focus level, because of his level of fitness. See if he’s OK to go. So there’s some things that we can do there to help him.”

Mets 4, Nationals 3, 10 innings Washington — T.J. Rivera homered in the top of the 10th inning to lead the New York Mets to a victory over Washington. The Mets pulled within nine games of Washington in the NL East and retained their hold on the second NL wildcard spot. New York has won eight of its last 10 and is 17-6 since Aug. 20, gaining 3 1/2 games on Washington in that stretch. Rivera, who had three RBIs, drilled an 0-2 pitch with one out in the 10th into the left field seats off Nationals closer Mark Melancon (2-2). The loss snapped Washington’s four-game winning streak.

Interleague Yankees 3, Dodgers 0 New York — Jacoby Ellsbury and Didi Gregorius came off the bench and hit back-toback homers in the seventh inning, sending the New York Yankees to a victory over Los Angeles. Gary Sanchez added a leadoff home run in the eighth, CC Sabathia pitched three-hit ball for 6 1/3 innings and the Yankees helped their unexpected playoff push by winning for the eighth time in 10 games. New York began the night two games behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card. Prized rookie Julio Urias was pulled in the fourth by the Dodgers, who had won seven of nine before their latest offensive flop against lefthanded pitching.

Italian squash bake is easy and healthy By Melissa D’arabian

2 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning 1 tablespoon olive oil juice of 1/2 lemon 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese, or mixed salt and pepper

Associated Press

his week’s Italian squash bake is a true work horse. Want an easy, make-ahead weeknight side dish? This will do the trick. Hosting both vegetarians and meat eaters for dinner? Serve Italian squash bake along with grilled chicken or fish on the side for the carnivores, and you’ll be all set. Since the recipe is quite flexible, you can easily make as much or as little as you need. The colors of the vegetable slices are pretty, juxtaposed against one another, making this a company-worthy recipe with zero last-minute prep. A quick note to parents: Once you’ve sliced up the veggies, let your little ones do the layering — it’s a great way to include them in the vegetable cookery of dinnertime. And you almost can’t mess this up, aside from the aesthetics. My daughter, who loves to help me make this, even considers it a (lightened-up) version of lasagna. She’s actually not too far off.

Simple, tender, flavorful brisket By Katie Workman

Associated Press

s the Jewish holidays approach, it’s time for many of us to think about brisket. My sister who cooks for the Jewish holidays every year (and plenty during the rest of the year) recently admitted to me that she had never made brisket, that it intimidated her. How to make sure it’s flavorful? How to know how long to cook it? It all made her anxious. This brisket recipe is straightforward, uses traditional seasonings and flavors, and results in a tenderbut-still-sliceable piece of meat. Aside from setting aside a few hours for it to cook, it really takes little work. Don’t you just love a main course that you can ignore while you’re preparing the rest of the dinner? Some recipes call for browning a brisket first, which is nice if you have extra time on your hands, but it’s not necessary for a perfectly tender brisket. If possible, make the brisket a day ahead. This accomplishes several things: One, your main course is made and checked off the list. Two, you can scoop off any fat that has hardened on top of the sauce, resulting in a cleaner-tasting gravy. Three, cold brisket is easier to slice, and then you reheat the slices in the sauce. Four, the flavors have more time to meld and build (like soups and stews). First-cut brisket means brisket with much of the fat cut off (but not all; you don’t want that). If you get a bigger piece of meat and want to cut it into two pieces, you can overlap them in the pot. In general, brisket is resilient. Brisket is great served with mashed potatoes or some simple buttered noodles.

Brisket Start to finish: 4 to 4 1/2 hours Servings: 8 to 10 Ingredients 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 1 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt

Todd Coleman/AP Photo

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 first-cut beef brisket (4 to 5 pounds) 2 cups chopped onions 4 large carrots, peeled and thickly sliced 3 bay leaves 3 tablespoons tomato paste 1 cup low-sodium beef or chicken broth 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes in juice or puréed 1 cup red wine 2 tablespoons chopped Italian (flatleaf) parsley (optional), for garnish Directions Preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl and stir to mix. Rub the mixture all over the meat. Place the brisket, fat side up, in a large casserole or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid. Toss in the onions, carrots and bay leaves. Blend the

cravelawrence.com

tomato paste into the broth and then pour it over the meat and vegetables. Pour the crushed tomatoes and red wine on top. The liquid should cover the meat and most of the vegetables. Cover the casserole and bake until the meat is very tender, about 3 1/2 hours. If you are serving the brisket the next day: Let it cool and then put the entire casserole in the refrigerator. About an hour before serving, skim off any hardened fat, then take the meat out of the sauce and cut off any excess fat from the top of the meat. Slice the brisket across the grain, as thin or thick as you like, then neatly return the sliced meat to the sauce. You can let it sit at room temperature for an hour before reheating it, which will make the process go faster and the meat heat more evenly. Place the pot over medium-low heat, and heat the brisket in the sauce until everything is hot. Alternatively, you may place the pot in a

preheated 325 F oven until everything is warmed through, and the cooking liquid has reduced and thickened a bit. This will take about 30 minutes in the oven, maybe less on the stovetop. Adjust seasonings as needed. You can serve the brisket in the casserole or transfer it to a large shallow serving bowl. Either way, remove and discard the bay leaves and sprinkle the parsley on top of the brisket, if desired. If you are serving the brisket right after you cook it: Remove the meat from the casserole and let it rest on a platter, loosely tented with aluminum foil. Let the cooking liquid and vegetables sit for about 15 minutes, then spoon off any fat that has accumulated. Place the casserole over medium-high heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces a bit, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings as necessary, and remove and discard the bay leaves. Slice the meat neatly across the grain, return it to the pot.
