shoppers across the state Wednesday as new tax rates took effect.

Here’s a look:

Taxes to Topeka: To help the state dig out of its revenue shortfall, legislators approved a statewide 0.35 percent increase in sales taxes that go to the state’s coffers. That means in Lawrence, the sales tax rate that applies to most parts of the city is now 9.05 percent, up from 8.7 percent.

Hello, 10 percent: There are parts of Lawrence where you’ll pay more than 10 percent on purchases made.

Lawrence has three special taxing districts that add 1 percent onto the standard tax rate. The extra taxes are used to pay for transportation improvements — and parking — for the developments. The areas are: The Oread hotel near the Kansas University campus, the Bauer Farm development at the northeast corner of Sixth and Wakarusa, and the new Marriott hotel building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

The rate in those districts is 10.05 percent.

The food bill: Legislators had talked about creating a lower sales tax rate for grocery purchases. But that part of the bill didn’t get approved by legislators, though it is expected to be discussed next year. In the meantime, get ready to pay more for food. On a $100 grocery bill, the tax increase amounts to 35 cents. Do that 52 weeks a year, and it is an extra $18.20 you’ll spend to keep the cupboard stocked.

Up in smoke: It is still a better deal to buy food than cigarettes in Kansas. Smokers are now paying an extra 50 cents per pack after the state approved an increase in the cigarette tax. The total tax on a single package of cigarettes is $1.29.

Shopping around: Lawrence’s rates are still somewhere in the middle of the pack compared to other area communities.

Topeka’s rate checks in at 9.15 percent, Olathe’s at 9.225 percent, Overland Park 8.85 percent and Kansas City 9.125 percent. But be on the lookout for special taxing districts in those cities, too. Kansas City, for example, has special taxing districts near the Kansas Speedway and Schlitterbahn that have rates as high as 11.125 percent. Lawrence does have the highest sales tax in Douglas County. Baldwin City’s new rate is 8.75 percent, Eudora’s 8.5 percent and Lecompton’s 8.5 percent.

Not all bad news: The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis has a new report out that says personal income in the state grew faster than it did in many other parts of the country, and, to boot, Kansas is a bit cheaper place to live. The numbers are for 2013, but those are the latest numbers available, so we’ll take what we can get. The federal number crunchers found that personal income — like wages, rental income, Social Security payments and a host of other things — rose by 1.1 percent in Kansas, after adjustment for inflation. That’s better than the 0.8 percent rise for the U.S. as a whole. The Bureau of Economic Analysis also does a neat thing where it tries to show how far a dollar goes in each state.

It uses an index that is similar to the popular Consumer Price Index to measure how much the price of goods and services are changing. What it found for Kansas is that prices are about 10 percent cheaper than the country’s as a whole.

OTHER CONTACTS Peter Hancock/Journal-World Photo

FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI, left, and Gov. Sam Brownback, center, meet with RG Fiber co-founder Mike Bosch at the company's headquarters Wednesday in Baldwin City.

Fiber CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

RG Fiber is a subsidiary of Reflective Group, a software engineering company founded by Mike Bosch and Josh Strohm, both graduates of Baker University in Baldwin City.

Strohm said that as their software company grew, so did its need for broadband Internet connection, until it reached a point where they were forced to make a choice.

“Catering to other small towns and small businesses has been the core of what Reflective Group has been focused on,” Strohm said.

“So it makes sense to stay here and keep that culture, and when we had the issue of not having enough Internet speed, we really had a choice to make. We could either move our company and risk the culture issue; we could stay small and just deal with the limitations; or we could do something about it.”

“So, being engineers and geeks, we decided to give it a shot and figure out what we needed to do to make it happen,” he said. “So now we’ve built a fiber company and are doing well.”

RG Fiber offers connection speeds of up to 1 gigabit, roughly equal to what Google Fiber offers in the Kansas City area. The connection to Baldwin City comes from a node in Lawrence, which in turn receives connection through a central hub in Kansas City, Mo.

Those citations aren’t cheap, either, in some cases costing more than a speeding ticket. According to City Prosecutor Beth Hafoka, the first fireworks violation can yield a fine of up to $200.

The second or subsequent violation within one year from the previous citation brings a fine of up to $500 and up to six months in jail.

Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib said that this year officers will be out in full

Strohm said the idea of setting up a fiber network was born about two years ago, and that RG Fiber has been established a little more than a year.

Baker University president Lynne Murray said having that kind of service available in the community will be a boon for the small, private college.

“Our students now are so plugged in,” she said.

“They come to college with at least five personal devices, so to be able to have high-speed Internet and have access to it means that we’re opening up opportunities for greater research for them, for greater networking for them, so we’re real proud of Mike Bosch, also a Baker alum, for helping achieve this.”

Pai said high-speed networks like RG Fiber are a critical piece of infrastructure for all communities today. But equally important, he said, is having regulations that ensure those small, local networks have the same kind of access to bandwidth from upstream providers that large cable and telephone companies are able to provide.

In February, the FCC issued new rules for what it calls the “open Internet,” or “net neutrality,” which are supposed to ensure that all Internet providers and customers have equal access to the Web on a nondiscriminatory basis.

“From my perspective, the FCC should create a regulatory framework that gives gives every provider, big and small, the incentive and ability to invest

in broadband networks across the country,” Pai said. “And one of the things (Bosch) said to me is that we just need regulatory certainty, to know what the rules are going to be.”

But Pai said he does not support the idea, endorsed by some small internet companies, of regulating the Internet in the United States like a public utility.

“First of all, these networks are very dynamic.

They’re nothing like the monopoly networks that were operated by AT&T in the era of Ma Bell,” he said. “Secondly, these networks are extremely expensive to build and to operate, especially for smaller companies like RG Fiber. These kinds of regulations have a disproportionate effect on them.”

Pai was nominated to a seat on the FCC by President Barack Obama in 2012. The son of immigrants from India, he earned a bachelor of arts degree from Harvard University and a law degree from the University of Chicago.

Before joining the FCC, he worked in the communications practice of a Washington, D.C., law firm and served as associate general counsel at Verizon, Inc. Prior to that, he held several positions on the staff of the FCC and also worked on the staff of various congressional committees.

force looking for illegal fireworks and issuing citations.

“We will have dedicated units to enforce what we can in the context of a normally very busy night,” Khatib said Wednesday.

Enforcement of city codes relies on both citizen reports of illegal fireworks to police dispatch and on patrol officers encountering illegal activity, Lawrence polices spokeswoman Kim Murphree said.

“In either case, if the officer observes the illegal use of fireworks and can determine who the offenders are, the officer can issue a notice to appear (in court)

and will seize and destroy any remaining illegal fireworks,” Murphree said.

For a legal celebration on July 4, check out the annual public fireworks show at 9:45 p.m. Saturday. The display will be shot off from the Kansas River levee.

Governor takes 72 counties off drought list

From the Archives

——

Dry conditions persist in central, western Kansas Staff Reports

Recent rains in Kansas have eased drought conditions throughout much of the state, but 33 counties remain under a drought watch, state officials said Tuesday.

Gov. Sam Brownback issued an executive order Tuesday updating the drought declaration that has been in place since 2012, which at times had listed all 105 counties as either under a drought declaration or a drought watch.

Tuesday’s update removed 72 counties from the list but left the other 33 counties, mainly in central and western Kansas, under a drought watch.

A drought watch is defined by the U.S. Geological Survey as an alert about the onset of conditions indicating the potential for future droughtrelated problems. It typical-

Get your Far Eastern food fix at new Japanese, Chinese restaurants Town Talk “ T

here are new adventures to be had in Lawrence with chopsticks, and this time I’m almost sure they won’t require a trip to the ear, nose and throat doctor. In other words, there’s news about some new Japanese and Chinese restaurants in the city.

Yeah Sushi has opened in the Malls Shopping Center at 23rd and Louisiana streets. Yuyuan Jiang is the owner of the restaurant, and he told me he’s been a sushi chef for the past eight years in places such as California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida and New York.

“My sushi style is coming from many different states,” he said.

In fact, Yeah’s menu includes a sushi roll for almost every state. (In fact, it would be dead on, if geographers would quit insisting that we recognize Missouri.)

By my count, the menu has 49 different sushi rolls. There are plenty of traditional ones such as the spicy tuna roll, the Philadelphia roll, the Yellowtail scallion roll, the California roll and the rainbow roll.

But there are also some with more local flair. There’s a KU roll, which has salmon, crab meat and avocado, and there is a Lawrence roll, which has crab meat, shrimp, cucumber, tem-

The federal commission sets rates to cover transmission costs, and Kansas regulators objected to the 11.3 percent Westar was allowed to

approves the deal as expected. Westar President and CEO Mark Ruelle said the agreement resulted from a “constructive regulatory process” that will allow a continued investment in infrastructure.

“Transmission investment is critical to keep Kansas moving forward,” Ruelle said in a statement.

“A strong grid lets Kansas profit from its great wind resources, enables economic development and provides access to lowercost electricity.”

But even if the federal agency approves the agreement, savings to Westar customers could

be dwarfed by rate increases granted by the Kansas commission.

The KCC in May approved an annual rate increase of nearly $11 million to pay for 20 environmental upgrades to four plants.

The utility also has asked for a $152 million increase to cover costs incurred for improvements mandated by federal air pollution standards, primarily at a plant near La Cygne in eastern Kansas, and upgrades at the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant outside Burlington.

“The investment has been made,” said Westar spokeswoman Gina Penzig.

not going to take our eye off of drought planning and future mitigation,” Streeter said. “As we start to enter into warmer, drier months of the year, we know drought conditions can return quickly.”

The executive order authorizes all agencies under the jurisdiction of the governor to implement the appropriate watch level-drought response actions assigned in the operations plan of the Governor’s Drought Response Team.

The state’s drought declaration is separate from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s secretarial drought disaster declaration, which is based on agricultural losses, the governor’s office said.

her second time as board president, Sanburn said she is looking forward to the new year and seeing the results of a $92.5 million bond issue approved by voters in April of 2013.

“I think we’re going to have a whole lot of ribbon-cutting ceremonies and a whole lot of new facilities opening from the bond and the work that’s getting complete,” she said. “The College and Career Center is going to be open in August, and that’s going to be a completely new thing in our community that I’m really proud was part of that bond.”

Now the board’s vice president, Harmon said he is also eager to see the College and Career Center open, along with other projects funded by the bond.

“We have three or four schools opening back up this year, including Cordley and New York elementaries, with a couple of major improvements,” he said.

While there are many things to look forward to, state budgetary issues continue to be a concern for the upcoming year, Harmon said.

Wednesday’s meeting marked the first of the district’s fiscal year. A final budget is to be approved in August.

“We’re moving forward as if the block grant is fully funded,” he said.

“But we may have to make some sort of budget adjustments. At this point it’s kind of a big unknown.”

Newcomer Jill Fincher said she has previous experience with the district as a parent and from serving on several area boards.

Now, as a part of the school board, Fincher said she hopes to make a positive impact on the district.

“I think there is a lot to learn about the district from this aspect,” she said. “And I’m excited to hopefully help.”

Yeah Sushi puts lighthearted spin on Japanese staple

THE FOURTH OF JULY PARTY IN THE PARKS will feature food vendors, live music and theater performances in Watson Park. The party will continue after 9:15 p.m. at neighboring Constant Park, where attendees can catch the annual fireworks display at 9:45 p.m.

A BIGGER BANG Annual Fourth of July event expands, changes name to Party in the Parks

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Those perusing local events calendars recently may have noticed a subtle change to a Fourth of July tradition.

For the first time in the event’s seven-year history, the annual Fourth of July Party in the Park will be spread across both Watson and Constant parks, hence a new name: Party in the Parks.

In years past, attendees of the annual Fourth of July extravaganza would cross the street from Watson Park to Constant Park shortly after 9 p.m. or so in order to stake out territory for the Lawrence Jaycees’ fireworks display, which traditionally shoots off from behind Johnny’s Tavern in North Lawrence.

“It’s hard to see the fireworks at Watson Park, so everybody goes to Constant Park anyway,” says Briarcliff Media Holdings CEO Jay Wachs, who has been involved in the planning of Party in the Park for four years. “We thought, ‘Why not go with them?’”

Briarcliff Media Holdings is the parent company of LawrenceHits. com, which organizes the event.

This year’s party kicks off at 4 p.m.

Saturday at Watson Park, where attendees can enjoy live entertain-

Cost: Admission is free. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. ment, food from local eateries and children’s activities.

In years past, the event has attracted around 25,000 people to Watson Park. With a little help from a tentatively pleasant weather forecast, Wachs hopes to meet that goal — or surpass it — this Saturday.

“Every year, (the event’s) grown in terms of attendees and the bands and activities,” he says.

“People seem to really enjoy themselves.”

Among the musical lineup: local bands Evan Epperson and the Aviators, 88er, Duncan and the Ministry, Pink Royal, and Barry Barnes and Friends. Theatrical

performances and martial arts demonstrations are scheduled to entertain between sets.

About a dozen restaurants that are part of the Lawrence Originals dining collective — including 23rd Street Brewery, Zen Zero, India Palace, Mariscos, Mad Greek and Johnny’s Tavern West — will be on hand with food and drinks, and kids and adults alike can keep busy with activities scattered throughout Watson Park.

In the park’s gazebo, Wachs and his team will be selling T-shirts and raffle tickets to benefit Light the Night 2015, an annual walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Northeast Kansas.

At 9:15 p.m., Wachs says, everyone is encouraged to migrate over to Constant Park to set up lawn chairs and blankets for the fireworks display at 9:45 p.m. Prerecorded music will accompany the display over loud speakers.

“This is the kind of town where, when you go to an event like this, you tell everybody. It’s the camaraderie of celebrating with your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors,” Wachs says. “It’s great to be local.”

Yuyuan Jiang worked as a sushi chef for eight years, serving up the Japanese delicacy in Houston, Palm Springs, New Orleans, Miami, New York City, and even a stint in Korea — both North and South.

Now, he’s rolling up (that’s my attempt at a sushi joke) everything he learned from those experiences into his new restaurant, Yeah Sushi, which opened in late May at The Malls Shopping Center along 23rd Street.

Sandwiched between Westlake Ace Hardware and Radio Shack, the compact eatery at 711 W. 23rd St. offers around 50 varieties of sushi, plus soups, salads and appetizers such as edamame and fried calamari.

Customers are often “surprised” when they first see their order arrive on the table, Jiang says — and for good reason.

“I haven’t seen anything like this in Lawrence,” he says. “Or the state.”

Each dish involves the kind of colorful, elaborate presentation Jiang picked up during his time on the coasts, with sauces carefully applied to the plate to create whimsical designs (fish are a recurring motif) and glowing LED lights to brighten up the food.

That’s the case with Yeah Sushi’s Sweetheart Roll: Each bundle of tuna, shrimp tempura, crab meat and cucumber is wrapped in pink soybean paper and rolled into a heart shape.

It’s served with a martini glass filled with pink LED lights, and nothing else.

Jiang says he bought the former Thai House space (its owners were retiring, he says) in the hope that his unusual creations would bring in college students. So far, business has been slow,

but Jiang is optimistic that it’ll pick up when classes resume in August.

In the meantime, he’ll continue offering lunch specials every day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“We’re not busy, but every customer who comes here to eat — they’ll be back,” Jiang says. “Right now, we just need more customers.”

Yeah Sushi is open 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Safe celebration Lawrence residents who can’t afford a $200 fine may want to head to a public fireworks display instead of creating their own.

F

ireworks are a strong tradition on the Fourth of July, but, at least in the city of Lawrence, celebrants need to leave most of the pyrotechnics to someone else.

Since 2002, only novelty items such as party poppers, snappers, snakes and sparklers have been allowed inside the city limits. Firecrackers and other explosive items are banned. The ban was hotly debated at the time, but the threats that fireworks posed to safety and property, as well as the public peace, eventually won out. Fireworks are fun, but it seemed that, at least in isolated cases, the revelry was getting out of hand.

Enforcement of the fireworks ban has been inconsistent over the years, but a new emphasis on enforcement last year resulted in a sharp increase in citations.

From 2008 to 2013, Lawrence police responded to an average of 204 fireworks calls and handed out three citations per year. In 2014, officers responded to 226 fireworks calls, but handed out 34 citations.

Whether you agree with the ban or not, it makes little sense to have it in place if it isn’t going to be enforced. Police Chief Tarik Khatib said this week officers will be out looking for fireworks violations and issuing citations.

If you think those citations are no big deal, think again. A first offense can result in a fine of up to $200, and a second violation within one year can include a fine of $500 and up to six months in jail.

Local residents do, of course, have options. A full list of public fireworks displays was published in Wednesday’s Journal-World. The main event in Lawrence is the annual Lawrence Jaycees fireworks display scheduled for 9:45 p.m. Saturday on the river levee in North Lawrence. The annual Party in the Park from 4:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. draws thousands of people to Buford Watson Park to hear music, enjoy food from the local Lawrence Originals restaurants and watch the fireworks. It’s a great community gathering.

If you just have to light a few firecrackers, fireworks are legal in most unincorporated parts of Douglas County — but not at Wells Overlook Park or Lone Star Lake or along any county road — during certain hours. Fireworks are allowed in the county until 10 tonight and from 7 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday (although, out of consideration for your neighbors, you might start a little later and stop a little earlier).

With the Fourth falling on Saturday this year, there will be plenty of opportunities to celebrate the nation’s birthday with family and friends. Whether you’re traveling or staying home, have a great time — and be safe.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 2, 1915: “People who live in the business district along Massachusetts street, are years complaining that boys with a preago mature idea of when to celebrate IN 1915 July 4, are making night hideous with noise. One woman said that last night she was kept awake by explosion of fire crackers for several hours.”

Greece spurs eurozone reality check Washington — Many commentators have seen the Greek financial crisis as an exercise in stupidity.

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, for example, likened it last week to the First World War, about which historians “are still, a century later, incredulous that it happened.”

But maybe the bitter confrontation over Greece’s continued membership in the eurozone will actually prove to be good for all concerned. That’s because the cruel brinksmanship and bank-withdrawal lines may burn away, once and for all,

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The euro in its initial years was like a teaser mortgage; it had a low initial rate of interest that masked a huge bubble payment down the road.” the air of unreality that has accompanied the common currency since it was introduced 13 years ago.

I was living in France in January 2002 when the euro landed on tiptoes, packaged with unmemorable coins and bills. This was the innocuous new money of what proved, until the Greek crisis hit, to be an Alice-in-Wonderland monetary union.

Europeans didn’t vote on the new money, for the most part. They rarely get to vote on anything about the “European Project,” lest they make what the elites consider the wrong decision.

So it is with the plan for a Greek referendum Sunday.

Just what the Greeks would be voting on is a mystery, at this writing, since so many bailout offers have been extended and withdrawn. But Euro-savants seem to hate the idea of a Greek vote, regardless. They treat it as

a cop-out or betrayal by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. The not-so-subtle implication is that he should man up and force a deal on his country.

Tsipras has shown he’s capable of devious maneuvers. But putting this issue to the Greek people strikes me as a sensible idea, precisely because it would provide an implicit referendum, up or down, on the euro and the sacrifices necessary to preserve it.

Greeks who accept a harsh bailout to keep the euro as their currency will know what they’re suffering for — and they will own the decision. If they reject the deal and commit euro-suicide, they’ll own that, too.

The public spectacle of Greece’s suffering has had some perverse benefits, too, in destroying the “magical thinking” that has accompanied the euro. Greeks are learning the terrible consequences of imprudent debt.

The rest of Europe is recognizing the moral hazard of giving Greece a slide — and encouraging debtor nations throughout Europe (and their left-wing radicals) to believe there’s an escape hatch from reality.

Commentators deride Germans (and Greeks, too) for mixing economics and

morality. Sorry, but they are mixed. Money and finance require trust that the paper notes and electronic digits on the screen represent real value. When that trust vanishes, systems implode.

Preservation of trust is in part a morality play.

What the euro needs is the public buy-in that the elites have been reluctant to seek. Europe has had too few referendums. The 1992 Maastricht treaty that created the euro was put to a vote in only three countries.

In France, it was approved by the slimmest margin, 51.1 percent in favor. In Denmark, it was rejected in a first referendum then approved in a re-vote the next year. Only in Ireland, which knew it was getting a sweet deal that financed a huge (and nearly ruinous) lending bubble, was there a substantial 68.7 percent majority in support.

The European Union suffers from a similar lack of a democratic foundation. A proposed European constitution was put to a vote in just four countries in 2005.

Two of them, France and the Netherlands, rejected it, by 54.9 percent and 61.5 percent, respectively, and the constitution was abandoned. It was sneakily replaced by the Treaty of Lis-

bon. That unity pact faced a referendum in only one country, Ireland, where it was rejected the first time, in 2008, and then approved the next year.

Not an inspiring record of democratic support. The elites have behaved as if these electoral setbacks have been a sign of regrettable populist sentiment — a political version of soccer hooliganism. So they have plunged ahead, ever deeper, ever wider — until Greece happened.

The euro in its initial years was like a teaser mortgage; it had a low initial rate of interest that masked a huge bubble payment down the road.

Greeks loved being able to shop with a German credit card. Germans went along for the sake of European unity, but they resented having to pay the bills.

With the Greek crisis, it all got real. Bailouts, ultimatums, riots in the streets, defaults, painful soul-searching about how Europe wants to live and who will pay for it. In the long run, that’s likely to be a good thing. It will create real money for those who are willing to pay the price.

Obama acknowledges value of grace “This whole week,” said President Obama, “I’ve been reflecting on this idea of grace.”

That was the turning point of Friday’s eulogy for Clementa Pinckney, the Charleston, S.C. minister who was, with eight of his congregants, murdered by a racist terrorist two weeks ago. It was the moment a memorable speech became a speech for history.

“According to the Christian tradition,” the president-turned-preacher explained, “grace is not earned, grace is not merited, it’s not something we deserve. Rather, grace is the free and benevolent favor of God.” Grace, in other words, is that which bridges the gap between creation and Creator, the staircase connecting the soil to the celestial.

And it is amazing. So the heart leapt when, moved by some ephemeral thing cameras could not see, Obama launched into a soulful, heartfelt and, yes, offkey rendition of one of the foundational hymns of the church. “Amazing grace,” he sang, 6,000 voices rising to meet him, “how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.”

“As a nation, out of this terrible tragedy,” the presi-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Are we not tasked with forming ‘a more perfect union’? It’s the ongoing work of America, work no one speech or court ruling can finish, but which we are all charged with pushing forward.”

dent said, “God has visited grace upon us, for he has allowed us to see where we’ve been blind. He’s given us the chance, where we’ve been lost, to find our best selves.”

The president named a few of the things to which we’ve been blind, the issues upon which we have been lost. He spoke of gun violence, the hunger of children, the brazen hatred that inspired the alleged shooter, the soft bigotry that gets “Johnny” called back for an interview but leaves “Jamal”

job hunting.

Though he didn’t mention it, it seemed not inconsequential that he said these things on the same day the Supreme Court affirmed the right of same-sex couples to marry. It seemed fitting that he returned that night to a White House bathed in colors of the rainbow. One could almost see history making a great, wide turn toward freedom.

And, too, one heard predictable howls of outrage.

Sen. Ted Cruz called it one of the darkest days in American history, Rush Limbaugh predicted polygamy, some Southern states, as they did during the civil rights years, declined to be guided by the court’s ruling. But, it all carried a tinny, far-away sound, like a radio station from some distant town, drowned by the thunder of rejoicing.

This is not to say those doorkeepers of yesterday are without power to interdict change. They are nothing if not stubborn and resilient. It is, however, to say that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

And, moreover, that the genius of the nation founded 239 years ago Saturday by a group of men we would now call sexist, racist and homophobic, was not its perfection as originally

conceived, but the fact that it was built for change, built to become better, and continually expands itself to accommodate that long arc.

Are we not tasked with forming “a more perfect union”? It’s the ongoing work of America, work no one speech or court ruling can finish, but which we are all charged with pushing forward. Until one bright day, you look up and are surprised how far you’ve come.

That’s what happened Friday. And it might be the story of John Newton’s life.

Newton, who wrote the hymn in which President Obama found solace, was a slave trader who changed by increments over the years until, by the end of his life, he was issuing grief-stricken apologies for his part in that evil business. If the first verse of his hymn is a paean to the redemptive power of grace, its third is a reminder that grace obligates us to push forward toward bright days not yet glimpsed: “Through many dangers, toils and snares,” he wrote, “I have already come Tis’ grace has brought me safe thus far And grace will lead me home.”

TSA PAYS MILLIONS FOR BAG CLAIMS

Roger Yu

USA TODAY

The Department of Justice is investigating several U.S. airlines for possible collusion, a probe that could have a deep impact on domestic carriers’ seat availability and airfares.

“We are investigating possible unlawful coordination by some airlines,” the DOJ said in a statement Wednesday.

Several media outlets, including CNN, the Associated Press, and NBC News, reported that the collusion among major airlines involved limiting available seats to keep airfares high.

The U.S. airlines’ main trade

Nick Penzenstadler | USA TODAY Russ Ptacek | WUSA-9 The Transportation Security Administration paid passengers $3 million over the past five years for claims that airport security screeners broke, lost or stole their luggage or items inside, according to a review of about 50,000 complaints.

After investigating to determine whether the TSA or its agents were responsible, the agency approved or settled with passengers in about 15,000 cases — nearly one out of three claims filed from 2010 to 2014. Payments ranged from a few bucks for missing food or medicine to several thousand dollars for jewelry, electronics and other items passengers said were broken or disappeared in the TSA’s hands.

The nation’s 30 busiest airports accounted for about two-thirds of all paid claims and about the same share of the government settlement payments. John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York topped the list with 857 paid claims, and Los Angeles International was next at 791.

That’s largely a result of the many millions more v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

New shark attack raises fear for July 4 Seventh victim reported in North Carolina in 2015 Doyle Rice

@USATODAYweather USA TODAY

Yet another shark attack occurred Wednesday afternoon in North Carolina’s Outer Banks — the state’s seventh this year — as beachgoers in the eastern U.S. confront a surprising surge of bites.

Just one or two shark attacks typically occur in North Carolina each year. Nationwide, the number is usually 30 to 40, according to data from the International Shark Attack File at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.

Emergency crews on the scene of a shark attack along Ocracoke Island.

JASON GREER

Wednesday’s attack on Ocracoke Island was the 24th this year in the U.S. The victim, a 68-yearold man, was pulled underwater by a 6- to 7-foot-long gray shark but was able to swim to shore despite bites on his rib cage, hip, lower leg and hands, according to a release from Hyde County, which is part of the Outer Banks.

He was swimming about 25 to 30 feet offshore in waist-deep water with his adult son when the attack occurred, WCNC-TV reported. It was the third attack along the Carolina coast in the past week.

The uptick in attacks — slightly above average for the year — is raising concerns about the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

“I can almost guarantee there’ll be a bite or two this weekend,” said George Burgess, the director

of the Shark Attack File.

Hyde County said it will have two ambulances with paramedic level service available with a third on call for the Fourth of July weekend.

Many of the attacks this year have occurred farther north than usual, Burgess said. South Carolina has also seen its share of attacks — three so far, he added.

In Florida, where shark attacks are more common, the 11 cases so far this year have received little attention. However, publicity about the attacks might cause swimmers to think twice this weekend.

“I bet fewer and fewer people are swimming these days, so opportunities for interactions may be diminished for a while,” said Daniel Abel, a marine scientist at Coastal Carolina University.

“It’s hard to understand, with jet fuel prices dropping by 40% since last year, why ticket prices haven’t followed.”

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y

group, Airlines for America, denied the charge.

“We are confident that the Justice Department will find what we know to be true,” the statement said. “Our members compete vigorously every day, and the traveling public has been the beneficiary.”

The DOJ has demanded copies of communications among airlines, analysts and shareholders.

“It’s hard to understand, with jet fuel prices dropping by 40% since last year, why ticket prices haven’t followed,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who called for the Justice Department to launchan investigation in December.

Shares of American Airlines lost 2.8% to $38.80. United Continental Holdings fell 2.5% to $51.69. Southwest Airlines ended down 1.4% to $32.62. JetBlue Airways fell 3.4% to $20.06.

“We’ll cooperate fully in answering any questions the DOJ has of us,” said Brad Hawkins, a Southwest spokesman.

“Delta has received a civil investigative demand and is fully cooperating with the Department of Justice,” wrote Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton.

Ladies in waiting: Who should be on $10 bill?

Susan Page USA TODAY

What woman should be featured on the $10 bill?

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew in June announced that a redesigned ten-spot, being issued in 2020, would include a female face. The government now is seeking public comment on just who that should be, but in a new USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll, Americans are mostly clueless.

In the survey, former first lady WASHINGTON

Eleanor Roosevelt leads a scattered field. In response to an open-ended question, she is named by 8%, followed by civil rights icon Rosa Parks at 5%, abolitionist Harriet Tubman at 4% and suffragette Susan B. Anthony at 3%. Colonial flagmaker Betsy Ross and poet Maya Angelou are at 1%.

An additional 10 women, from Pocahontas to Mother Theresa, each are cited by a handful of respondents. The real winner? Try we-have-no-idea. Sixty-six percent say they have no one in mind or are undecided. In encouraging

news for fans of Alexander Hamilton, the founder of the nation’s financial system who is now on $10 bills, 4% say the bill should just stay the way it is.

The poll of 1,000 adults, taken by landline and cellphone Thursday through Monday, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

Pocahontas was the first woman to appear on new U.S. paper currency, on a $20 note starting in 1865. The last woman on new paper currency was near the end of the 19th century: Martha Washington on a $1 silver note.

July 4, 1945: Dawn of a new America Rick Hampson USA TODAY

Seventy years ago, on July 4, 1945, Americans observed what would be the last Independence Day of World War II. In his holiday statement to the nation, President Truman expressed “humility for the guidance that has been given us

by God in serving His will as a leader of freedom for the world.”

Although Truman’s rhetoric seemed from the 19th century, his nation was already on its way to the 21st.

The country that summer was still focused on the war in the Pacific. But the seeds of a new America had been sown. Not just postwar America — the Baby Boom, the Cold War, suburban sprawl — but the one we inhabit today. Eight days earlier, in San Francisco, the U.N. charter had been signed. Twelve days later, in the wastes of New Mexico, the U.S. would secretly detonate the world’s first atomic bomb.

The war changed everything, often in ways that weren’t apparent at the time. uTwo brothers who’d opened a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif., were struck by working families’ de-

sire for cheap meals served fast — faster than their carhops could serve them. Their name was McDonald. uWhile building federal war worker homes, a Long Island construction company had learned how to lay dozens of concrete foundations in a single day, and to preassemble uniform walls and roofs. The firm’s name was Levitt & Sons. uIn 1944 a young black Army lieutenant was courtmartialed, and then acquitted after he refused to sit in the back of a

military bus at Camp Hood, Texas. His name: Jackie Robinson. uAn Army Air Forces photographer had discovered a beautiful young woman working on a warplane assembly line in Burbank, Calif. One of his photos helped land her a modeling job. Her name was Norma Jean Baker; later she would change it to Marilyn Monroe. uEngineers were finishing a sort of electronic brain for the Army. Equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes instead of the usual electrical switches, it could

do about 5,000 computations a second – 4,996 more than any electric calculator. They called it an Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. Only the last name stuck.

In the next decade, the Levitts would build Levittown, N.Y., the most famous postwar suburb. McDonald’s, focusing on assembly-line hamburgers, would begin its ascent to global fast food dominance. Robinson would integrate major league baseball.

And Monroe would become

the first “Playmate of the Month” in a new magazine called Playboy, whose editor got his start in journalism during the war at a military newspaper.

His name was Hugh Hefner.

World War II also marked the beginning of trends that took decades to fully develop, including technological disruption, global economic integration and digital communication.

The key then, as now, was innovation. How else could a nation that on July 4, 1938, was making almost no weapons have been making more than twice as many as all its enemies combined by July 4, 1944? And the weapons kept getting better. By the end of the war, it was said no major battle was won with the same weapons as the last one.

All the war’s changes contributed to a rich irony: Although Americans away in military service lived on memories of the homeland they’d left behind, by war’s end that America was already disappearing.

The demands of winning a war would transform America into a land more affluent and more just, more open and more mobile, more polluted and more violent than the one of which they’d dreamed so ardently for so long.

TSA: Complaints are fraction of bags handled v CONTINUED FROM 1B

passengers the TSA screens there.

Among the 30 top airports, once adjusted by the number of people served, the share of passengers who filed claims — and got paid — was highest at Dulles International in Washington and Orlando International in the 2010 to 2014 time frame. Smaller airports were not immune to the problem. At Reno/Tahoe International, the TSA approved 120 passengers’ claims over five years — about the same as much larger airports, including Chicago Midway, Nashville and Detroit.

The TSA said the approved claims represent a tiny fraction of the 2.5 million pieces of baggage its agents screen every day. The TSA has access to fliers’ property only for a small share of its journey, and checked bags spend much more time winding through airport conveyor belts, riding carts to airplanes and being handled by airline employees.

The agency says it’s taken a zero-tolerance approach to theft, tightened hiring requirements for screeners and stemmed the tide of claims. TSA supervisors have fired more than 500 officers since 2003 for theft. Claims filed, and claims paid, are down about 35% from 2010 to 2014, according to USA TODAY’s analysis. The TSA denied approximately half of all claims filed since 2010.

“TSA aggressively investigates all allegations of misconduct and, when infractions are discovered, moves swiftly to hold the offend-

ers accountable,” spokesman Bruce Anderson said. “TSA holds its security officers to the highest professional and ethical standards.”

U.S. Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., said the overall $3 million paid to settle claims is cause for further investigation.

“Congress has been having problems getting straight answers about abuses at the TSA,” Mica said. “Orlando, my major home airport in Florida … has startling statistics. It warrants further review, even a subpoena for the information if that’s what it takes.”

TSA officials say the agency pumped up efforts in recent years

to train staff and monitor theft with undercover operations.

About one of every 20 bags is opened by TSA staff, typically when scanning equipment flags something suspicious and screeners want to take a closer look.

Airports are adding video monitoring to keep watch over those bag inspections. When investigating claims, TSA officials say, more often than not, there is no evidence an item was damaged or went missing during screening.

Half of the claims are denied nationwide.

A report in 2011 by the Government Accountability Office found TSA workers received incomplete and inadequate background

checks that sometimes missed disqualifying criminal information. In June, the investigators reported the TSA had started to properly vet applicants.

Charles Leocha, chairman of the advocacy group TravelersUnited.org, recommended against flying valuables in checked bags and suggested reluggage issues porting immediately.

“If there is a problem, you want to make sure you report it immediately to the authorities because airlines and airports all look at questions of missing items with a bit of skepticism when they’re not reported for about 24 hours or so,” Leocha said. “They

A wave of simultaneous terror attacks swept across Egypt’s northern Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday, leaving scores dead prompting hours-long and battles.

It was the deadliest battle in the region since the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.

The Egyptian army said that more than 100 militants and 17 soldiers were killed, Reuters reported.

The Associated Press cited Egyptian officials as saying that 64 soldiers, 90 militants and four civilians died in the attacks carried out by an Islamic State affiliate called the Province of Sinai.

The group later claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it staged three suicide bombings as fighters targeted 15 army and police positions, the Associated Press reported.

If you notice damage or theft and suspect a TSA officer was responsible, the agency provides a form online. Claimants must provide proof of the damage, the cost and TSA negligence.

One unsuccessful claimant was Cory Doctorow, a London writer who was traveling on business to Phoenix in April. He posted a photo of his mangled $800 aluminum suitcase on his blog.

Doctorow alleges TSA agents pried off the unlocked “TSA-safe” locks on his luggage — locks that are supposed to be opened with a universal key available to screeners at all airports.

“I was sent an illiterate, unhelpful response from a do-notreply email address,” Doctorow said. “It said that TSA assumed no responsibility for damage inflicted during searches.”

Doctorow filed other claims with insurers and the airline. TSA officials said the agency accepts claims for damage to locks, and they conceded that agents sometimes break locks to inspect bags.

Passengers often file claims with airlines or airports in addition to the TSA if they’re unsure who is responsible for damaged or lost luggage.

Former Denver TSA officer Jon Dewey said front-line workers get an unfair reputation and airline handlers are more likely responsible.

“I believe (TSA workers) probably have less opportunities than an airline employee, and I trust TSA far more with my luggage than any airline,” Dewey said.

“I feel pretty good about how health care is going,” Obama said during a town hall near Nashville.

Obama — who also took health care questions via Twitter — said it is regrettable that health care has become “a political football,” but it appears that legal challenges to the 2010 law are over.

The president urged a “constructive conversation” about how to improve the health care system moving forward.

Republicans said that, despite the high court decision, the lawremains the biggest threat to health care.

NATION/WASHINGTON FUNDRAISING

CLINTON GETS A RECORD START Most of $45 million in initial quarter are amounts under $100 Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

Democrat Hillary Clinton has raised $45 million for her presidential bid during the first fundraising quarter of the 2016 campaign, figures released Wednesday show.

The haul, all of it in money set aside for the primary fight, exceeds the record for primary money raised in a candidate’s first fundraising quarter, set by President Obama when he raised $41.9 million during the same period in 2011. The totals were discussed by a campaign official who was not authorized to disclose the figures publicly.

The number also surpasses the MICHAEL B. THOMAS, $36 milAFP/GETTY IMAGES lion Clinton raised during the opening quarter of her 2008 presidential bid.

Clinton’s team has touted its push to raise money in more modest amounts. While the final figures still are being tallied, the numbers appear to highlight Clinton’s early grass-roots success: 91% of donations have come in amounts of $100 or less.

“Many people doubted whether we could build an organization powered by so many grass-roots supporters,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in an email to Clinton’s backers Monday. “Today’s announcement proves them wrong.”

Tuesday marked the end of the April-to-June fundraising quarter for federal candidates. Clinton is the first major presidential candidate to release her fundraising totals. She leads her Democratic rivals — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley and former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee — in early polling.

Allies of Republican contender Jeb Bush have predicted he could exceed $100 million in contributions, virtually all of it flowing to outside groups that can raise money in unlimited amounts to back his candidacy.

Democrats are likely to trail far behind Republicans in outside money. Priorities USA Action, a super PAC aiding Clinton’s candidacy, is not expected to raise more than $15 million.

Clinton does not have to disclose the paperwork detailing her fundraising and spending until July 15.

ESCAPEE: ‘DRY RUN’ ON EVE OF BREAKOUT

LAW ENFORCEMENT VIA BURLINGTON FREE PRESS

Sweat says plan was hatched more than four months earlier John Bacon USA TODAY

T

he dramatic prison break from an isolated steel-and-concrete fortress in the wilderness of northern New York actually began more than four months before two killers slipped from a manhole outside the prison walls and into freedom.

So says David Sweat, the survivor who was nabbed just a few miles from the Canadian border three days ago — and more than three weeks after the spectacular escape from maximum security at Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora.

Clinton County District Attorney Andrew Wylie says Sweat, hospitalized in fair condition, has been revealing details of the escape — although authorities can’t

be sure what to believe.

Sweat, who claims to be the mastermind of the plan, told investigators the effort was so wellorchestrated that he and Richard Matt actually performed a “dry run” to freedom the night before they fled. They used the opportunity to select a manhole on a relatively quiet street.

“To make a dry run and ... have the ability to escape, and then go back in, it is a little baffling,” Wylie told NBC News.

Sweat told investigators that he and Matt, who was fatally shot

by U.S. Border Patrol agents Friday, were almost nabbed more than once. Sweat said that at one point he was in a tree stand undetected as agents swarmed around him.

Investigators had theorized that the men must have used power tools to cut through cell walls and steam pipes, but Sweat said they used simple hacksaws.

“He’s a convicted felon, obviously convicted of a serious murder, and he escaped from state prison, so those are his statements and that’s all I can go on,”

HANDOUT

David Sweat, Richard Matt Wylie said.

It was just about the time that Sweat began talking that the state Corrections Department announced that the prison superintendent and 11 other officials at Clinton Correctional were being placed on administrative leave.

Superintendent Steven Racette, two other high-level administrators in the prison and nine security officers are on leave “as part of the ongoing review,” the department said in a brief statement Tuesday.

The escape June 6 sparked a massive manhunt that drew up to 1,500 law-enforcement officials to the rugged, rural terrain of northern New York.

Matt, 49, was shot and killed by

a U.S. Border Patrol officer on Friday. He was armed and wearing camouflage pants and a green hooded rain jacket and was carrying a camouflaged backpack. No one has claimed his body and the county could petition for a pauper’s burial.

Sweat, 35, was shot and captured Sunday by a New York State trooper near Constable. He was not armed. Sweat was initially hospitalized in critical condition but was upgraded to fair condition Tuesday by officials at Albany Medical Center.

Joyce Mitchell, who worked in the prison tailor shop, was arrested days after the escape, accused of providing the inmates with hacksaw blades and screwdriver bits she hid in frozen ground beef.

Mitchell, 51, told authorities she had agreed to meet them outside the prison with a car but that she changed her mind.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sweat confirmed some of Mitchell’s information, telling authorities after his arrest that the duo had expected Mitchell to drive them far from the prison.

Embassy openings set to renew U.S.-Cuba tie Move does not end trade embargo, however

David Jackson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON While reopened embassies will restore diplomatic ties between the United States and Cuba, full normalization requires more actions — including an end to the trade embargo that must be approved by the Republican-run Congress.

In announcing that embassies will reopen this month, Obama again called on Congress Wednesday to lift the embargo, and cast his opening to Cuba as a choice between the past and the future.

“Yes, there are those who want to turn back the clock and double down on a policy of isolation,” Obama said, “but it’s long past

Obama says isolating Cuba doesn’t work.

“I strongly believe that the best way for America to support our values is through engagement.”

time for us to realize that this approach doesn’t work. It hasn’t worked for 50 years.”

Republican congressional leaders, meanwhile, said the embassy decision is another example of how Obama gives the Castro regime things without demanding democratic reforms in return.

“The Obama administration is

handing the Castros a lifetime dream of legitimacy without getting a thing for the Cuban people being oppressed by this brutal communist dictatorship,” said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Obama and Cuban counterpart Raul Castro made simultaneous announcements about the embassy reopenings. Cuban state-run television took the unusual step of televising Obama’s remarks.

Obama said Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Havana to formally reopen the U.S. Embassy. It will be the first Cuban trip for an American secretary of State since 1945. “I strongly believe that the best way for America to support our values is through engagement,” he said.

Report: Fire at black church in S.C. was not arson, feds say A string of blazes across southern states have followed shooting, battle flag controversies Rick Jervis USA TODAY

Although arson is blamed for at least three fires over the past two weeks at several predominantly black churches in Southern states, a blaze that destroyed Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal church in South Carolina was not deliberately set, according to a federal source, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

Churchgoers had feared the worst because the church in Greeleyville, S.C., was burned to the ground by the KKK in 1995. The latest fire broke out Tuesday during a night of frequent storms and

lightning strikes.

Preliminary indications are that the fire was not intentionally set and was not arson, the source said, according to the AP. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. The fire was still under investigation, the official said.

The fire has rekindled painful memories from the arson that destroyed the church 20 years ago, Williamsburg County Councilman Eddie Woods Jr., told the AP. “That was a tough thing to see,” Woods said. “It is hurting those people again. But we’re going to rebuild. If this was someone, they need to know that hate won’t stop

SEAN RAYFORD, GETTY IMAGES

Federal investigators examine the burned ruins of the Mount Zion AME Church in Greeleyville, S.C. us again.”

The fires in Southern states have all taken place in the weeks since a white gunman opened fire

in the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, killing nine people, on June 17.

The church fires have erupted

in Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina. Federal investigators are looking into some of the cases to determine whether hate crimes were the cause, but so far the fires do not appear to be related.

The timing of the recent fires, coming in the wake of the Charleston shooting, could be a cause for concern, said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. They may be retaliation for the backlash against Confederate flags that followed the shootings, he said.

Retailers like Walmart and Amazon suspended sales of the flags.

Four of the rebel flags were recently removed from the state Capitol grounds in Alabama, and South Carolina lawmakers will decide whether to follow suit next month.

Tunnel gets Robin Williams’ name Marco della Cava @marcodellacava USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO Whenever actor Robin Williams had to make the drive back to his bayside home in Tiburon, Calif., he had to pass through Marin County’s Waldo Tunnel. Now that passage will be called the Robin Williams Tunnel.

The California State Senate has approved a resolution to rename the tunnel, nicknamed the “Rainbow Tunnel” because of the colors painted over its entry. That’s a happy coincidence given that Williams, who grew up in Tiburon and attended Redwood High School, first came into the public spotlight playing a sitcom alien, Mork from Ork, who often wore rainbow-colored suspenders.

It will cost approximately $3,000 to change the signs at the tunnel, and the funds will be raised privately. New signs are expected to be up by fall.

The move to rename the tunnel — originally honoring a 19th-century politician — was kicked off by Tiburon resident Julie Wainwright, CEO of The RealReal and former CEO of Internet boom-and-bust hallmark, Pets.com.

Retailer says it has ‘no tolerance for discrimination’ Benjamin F. Mitchell and Paul Singer USA TODAY

“We welcome all customers, and respect for the dignity of all people is a cornerstone of our culture,” the Cincinnati-based company said in a statement. “In light of statements made by Donald Trump, we have decided to discontinue our business relationship.”

Macy’s is the latest company to distance itself from Trump. NBC and Univision cut ties following his presidential announcement speech June 16, in which he said people coming into the United

TANNEN MAURY, EPA

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump says it was his idea to cut ties with Macy’s.

States from Mexico “are bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime.

They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Trump fired back in a statement on his Instagram account, stating he was the one who decided to cut ties with Macy’s.

“Clearly, NBC and Macy’s support illegal immigration, which is totally detrimental to the fabric of our once great country,” Trump’s statement said. “Both Macy’s and NBC totally caved at the first sight of potential difficulty with professional agitators, who are not looking out for the people they purport to represent, but only for themselves.”

NBC announced Monday it would no longer air Trump’s Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and would remove him as host of

The Apprentice.

Univision announced last week it would no longer air Spanishlanguage versions of his pageants, and Mexico announced it would no longer send a contestant to the Miss Universe contest.

Tuesday, Miss USA co-host Cheryl Burke said she was ending her relationship with Trump. “I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year’s Miss USA Pageant as its cohost,” Burke told USA TODAY. Adding on to Trump’s troubles, Ora TV, backed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, said it was canceling a project in development with Trump.

GREEK PM: VOTE ‘NO’, SAYS ‘LIARS’ BEHIND EXIT TALK Tsipras continues to seek deal with creditors, who opt to wait for referendum’s results Kim Hjelmgaard USA TODAY

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras struck a defiant tone Wednesday, urging his fellow nationals in a televised address to vote “no” in Sunday’s planned referendum over bailout terms demanded by international creditors.

Tsipras said a “no” vote would not mean Greece would leave the eurozone and that European leaders who suggested so were “liars.”

He said his government was working to get a better deal for the Greek people, particularly the elderly.

U.S. and European stocks surged Wednesday after an earlier leaked letter from Greece’s government to eurozone officials appeared to show Athens is ready to concede to creditor demands over new bailout terms.

It was not clear, however, if the concessions would be significant enough to bring the two sides, at loggerheads for months, together for a last-minute deal. And German Chancellor Angela Merkel

also appeared to rule out any agreement on a new aid program for Greece before Sunday’s referendum.

Tsipras’ comments Wednesday add further confusion to a negotiation process that has bounced back and forth with alleged proposals and counterproposals.

The letter, first obtained by the Financial Times, came as eurozone finance ministers held a conference call in Brussels to discuss a last-minute bailout proposal from Athens.

That ended with eurozone finance ministers saying they

Ireland’s largest betting firm is so convinced Greeks will vote “yes” in a national referendum over bailout terms that it is already paying out on bets.

Rory Scott, a spokesman for Paddy Power, said Wednesday that more than 85% of bets placed with the firm ahead of Sunday’s vote are gambling that voters will reject calls by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ government to vote “No” on the measure that could determine whether Athens is forced out of the eurozone.

For that reason, Scott said, Paddy Power has handed out a five-figure sum — he wouldn’t divulge the amount — to the few thousand who believe Greece will vote to accept the measures.

would wait until after Greece’s vote before holding more talks.

Stock markets, volatile all week, turned upward. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 0.5%. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 0.4%. The Nasdaq composite index added 0.2%.

European markets jumped even higher: Germany’s DAX index closed up 2% and the CAC 40 in Paris advanced 1.9%. Britain’s FTSE 100 index added 1.4%.

“As you will note, our amendments are concrete and they fully respect the robustness and credibility of the design of the overall program,” Tsipras wrote in the letter sent to Brussels late Tuesday.

One demand Athens is refusing to back down on is changing a 30% tax discount for Greece’s remote islands, the letter shows.

Eurozone officials Tuesday rejected an appeal from Athens to extend a $270 billion international aid package that has been propping up Greece’s economy since the financial crisis.

Greece failed to repay $1.8 billion to the International Monetary Fund on Tuesday night.

Sunday’s national referendum will be on the austerity measures demanded by Greece’s international creditors in return for a new aid package.

GM down, but Ford, Fiat Chrysler sales rise Chris Woodyard, Nathan Bomey and Becca Smouse USA TODAY

General Motors reported that its sales fell 3% in June compared to the same month last year, a result of expected lower sales to rental car fleets. But Ford Motor saw sales rise 2% and Fiat Chrysler reported a boost of 8%.

Besides Detroit’s Big 3, foreign automakers saw sales increases, too. Toyota and Honda each climbed more than 4%, and Nis-

san was up a whopping 13% despite small-car sales that continued to slump industry-wide amid low gas prices.

In a call with news reporters, Ford said that if June’s overall industry performance was maintained for the full year, the auto industry would be on track for more than 17 million new vehicle sales for the year, a level not seen in the past decade. Sales are up about 4% from a year ago.

The big increase is being seen in small SUVs, which have caught up to small-car sales with about

19% of the market. Ford analyst Erich Merkle predicts SUV sales will reach 40% by the end of the decade, up from 32%, as Millennials start families.

The average amount paid for a new vehicle was $31,948, up 1% from a year ago, TrueCar.com reports.

GM said it actually had a terrific month on the strength of sales to individual customers, which are the most profitable. They were up 6.8% overall for the month. It was the best June for sales to individual customers since 2011, it says.

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

Due to the Fourth of July market shutdown Friday, the monthly employment report dubbed “Jobs Friday” will be renamed “Jobs Thursday.”

But the latest update on the health of the U.S. job market will still be a key market-moving piece of information. It will temporarily pry Wall Street’s attention away from the Greek debt drama, which will likely regain its top billing as the Sunday referendum vote — which could could determine Greece’s fate in the eurozone — nears.

Wall Street expects another solid month of job gains, with the consensus now looking at 230,000 new jobs in June, down from 280,000 in May. The unem-

Chasing high yields can be a losing strategy Q: What key factor is driving stocks?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Stocks did nothing during the first half of the year. But one trait hurt stocks more than any other: Big dividends.

The thing that got investors into the most trouble was chasing high yields, according to an analysis of the first half by Bespoke Investment Group.

Stocks with big dividends did even worse than those with high valuations.

Stocks with higher price-to-earnings ratios actually outperformed stocks with low P-E in the first half. Even companies’ size didn’t have that much influence on performance. The biggest stocks were flat along with the rest of the market.

Chasing after dividend yields was dangerous as investors brace for a change in interest rates. There’s a growing threat the Federal Reserve might boost shortterm interest rates as soon as September.

Clearly, that’s not a guarantee, but investors are bracing for the hit anyway. If interest rates rise, the prices on stocks desired for their dividends likely will fall as they become that much less attractive relative to bonds.

There was close linkage between high dividend yields and poor performance in the first half. Stocks with the highest dividend yields fell 6.8% during the first half while those with the highest yields gained 6.4%, Bespoke says.

IPO market soars in second quarter, raises $13B Kevin McCoy USA TODAY

No, you’re not mistaken — there really were a lot more initial public offerings during the second quarter.

IPO activity more than doubled from April to June, compared with the first quarter, when new offerings hit a two-year low, according to a report by Renaissance Capital, the leading provider of pre-IPO institutional research.

Total first-half IPOs were

down 32% compared with the same period in 2014, according to separate research by CohnReznick LLP, an accounting, tax and advisory firm.

In all, 69 IPOs raised nearly $13 billion in investment capital in the second quarter, the Renaissance Capital report said.

Each month in the quarter featured the year-to-date most IPOs, the most proceeds raised and the most initial filings.

The health care sector led the way, with 43% of all second-quarter IPOs. Health care has accounted for more than one of

every three IPOs for four consecutive quarters, Renaissance Capital said.

Trading debuts by biotech firms powered health care’s second-quarter showing, accounting for 29% of the deal flow, the report said.

Microbiome biotech firm Seres Therapeutics had the largest first-day trading pop since January 2014, a 185.6% jump. The Cambridge, Ma.-based company priced its 7.43 million share offering at $18 a share.

The energy sector raised the most capital with its eight deals,

including the year’s largest IPO to date, Tallgrass Energy GP LP. The consumer sector raised the third-highest total proceeds from six IPOs. The top consumer debut, the June offering by California-based fitness tracking firm Fitbit, was nearly as large as the other five combined, Renaissance Capital reported.

Looking forward, the company said a combination of strong second-quarter deal flow, a high number of initial filings and generally positive returns “signals an active third quarter.”

Mother of dragons is well-armed for ‘Genisys’ action Bryan Alexander @BryAlexand USA TODAY

Emilia Clarke took a huge leap going from her Game of Thrones mother of dragons character to the mother of all rebellions in Terminator Genisys.

Same powerful presence required, very different skill set.

“Let’s see, there’s driving a bus off a bridge, rolling out in an armored car, firing eight different kinds of weapons,” says Clarke.

“It’s just kicking some general butts, really.”

Between Genisys’ Sarah Connor and Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen, who has survived five bloody seasons with her three dragons, Clarke could be accurately labeled the Queen of Kicking Butt this summer.

“That’s a mantle I’m incredibly happy to take on.” says Clarke, 28.

“It’s great to be such a young girl and have the opportunity to play such strong, powerful women.”

Modern combat training was required to portray Connor, who joins forces with the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in the franchise reboot.

“Funnily enough, no, I hadn’t shot a grenade launcher before this movie,” Clarke says.

She shared a munitions trainer with her co-star Jai Courtney (who plays Kyle Reese) and

“It’s great to be such a young girl and have the opportunity to play such strong, powerful women.”

‘Terminator Genisys’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ star Emilia Clarke

worked her way up to a grenadefilled battle scene.

“It was very real and incredibly fun,” says Clarke. “Those blanks are louder than the real thing.”

The question is whether Clarke can make the same kind of noise in her first leading role on the big screen as she’s made in Thrones.

“She’s one (of ), if not the biggest reason, people love Game of Thrones,” says Erik Davis, managing editor of Fandango.com.

While Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calls Clarke “a dynamo” in Genisys, the film has received a 25% positive rating from critics on aggregate site RottenTomatoes.com. “Unfortunately, this Sarah Connor is no Mother of Dragons,” writes Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times.

Her action cred hasn’t been helped by appearing on crutches after a hip injury during the Genisys media blitz. She has given hilarious, presumably untrue

explanations for the injury, including break dancing with Schwarzenegger.

She relates funny tales of training gone wrong. Like when she took a joy ride in an armored car on the set.

ing as I desperately tried to wheel this thing around,” says Clarke.

“It was like MOVE THE OTHER WAY. I did get quite close to a producer’s car.”

This self-deprecating humor will be on display in her next screen foray, Me Before You (2016). Clarke plays a caregiver who falls for her paralyzed charge (Sam Claflin). “My character is a total klutz, quite funny, gets everything wrong,” says Clarke.

“She falls over all the time and smashes things.”

But for now, it’s all war, all the time. Clarke heads back to filming Season 6 of Games of Thrones in September. Then she has penciled in time for two more Terminator installments in 2016 (expected out in 2017 and 2018, respectively).

She’s ready to head back to the shooting range.

“This training allowed me, as the only girl, to walk up on set and go, ‘Yo, boys this is how it’s done,’ ” says Clarke.

At just 28, Emilia Clarke has established her action cred playing women who are not to be taken lightly on both the small and big screens. “It’s just kicking some general butts, really,” she says of her role in Terminator: Genisys.

Shark Week is all grown up.

The annual summer fest on Discovery Channel marks its 28th year starting Sunday with a greater emphasis on science.

“We’re focusing hard on the scientists this year and the research that a lot of the science community is engaging in with shark behavior,” says Howard Swartz, Discovery’s VP of documentaries and specials.

In March, new Discovery chief Rich Ross swore off stunts that have been part of recent Shark Weeks, such as its straight-faced 2013 depiction of long-extinct

Marine biologist Greg Skomal is face to face with a tiger shark off Florida. On land, he’ll take part in Q&As on social media. creature Megalodon.

“We live in a world that is both curious and judgmental when it comes to anything that smells of chicanery,” Ross said at the time.

Despite high ratings (Megaladon is the network’s highest-rated Shark Week program), Discovery risked eroding its viewers trust:

“When they found out it wasn’t true, the backlash against the channel was fierce.”

So this year, science will take the spotlight and signal a change in 19 hours of original programming, a Shark Week record.

The event also will air its first project filmed in Cuba. Tiburones:

Sharks of Cuba (Tuesday, 10 ET/ PT) focuses on a team filming an expedition off the coast of the island nation. Plus, Shark Week will add digital content at Sharkopedia.com, via “shark finbassadors,” including marine biologist Greg Skomal who will take over Shark Week’s Instagram account and host Q&As on Facebook, Meerkat and Twitter.

And for critics who might find the timing of Shark Week somewhat insensitive after a spate of attacks along the East Coast this summer, the Discovery executive stresses the educational benefits of the programming.

Says Swartz: “We’re putting those shark encounters into context, and that means understanding why they happened, understanding the importance of sharks in our overall ecosystem and highlighting the development of technology that helps people and sharks peacefully co-exist.”

JAYHAWKS IN SOUTH KOREA

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Schneider making program exciting Sure, Brandon Schneider knocked it out of the park at his introductory news conference, and, yes, he has won everywhere he has been, but he never had recruited against heavyweights for superstars, so didn’t it all just amount to talk or at best a potential upgrade?

Already, Schneider, Kansas University’s new women’s basketball coach, has raised the bar of expectations on himself and the program he heads. He has come out of the blocks like Usain Bolt, rocking the women’s basketball world with a pair of marquee Schneider transfers in less than a three-week span.

First McKenzie Calvert, a 5-foot-9 guard from Schertz, Texas, left USC, where she averaged 10.2 points as a freshman, for Kansas. Then former McDonald’s AllAmerican Jessica Washington became the latest player to transfer from powerhouse North Carolina, where she averaged 7.3 points in 18.3 minutes as a sophomore.

Calvert is from Texas, Washington from Oklahoma, so they had plenty of attractive options even closer to home than Kansas, and they chose to join Schneider’s program.

“We felt both of these guys could come and really help us jump-start our program to get it going in the direction we want it to go,” Schneider said.

Specifically, and realistically, where does he want it to go?

“I’d like it to become that being in the NCAA Tournament is just a given,” Schneider said from his office that has a window overlooking the practice facility shared by the men’s and women’s teams. “Then the question is, what kind of run can we make? What kind of run can you make is relative to how much have you moved up in the Big 12.

I mean, if you can compete for a Big 12 championship then I think that makes you an Elite Eight, Final Four participant. If you’re in the mix late February, early March, you have a chance to do big things.”

The transfers, per NCAA rules, must sit out a season before playing for Kansas, so their impact this coming season will be limited to how they can make teammates better in practice.

“Those are obviously lofty goals, but if we don’t expect that from one another then I think we’re selling ourselves short,” Schneider said. “But, yes, it’s going to take time.

It’s not going to happen overnight. Even sometimes you go backward before you go forward. We did graduate 62 percent of the offense with Chelsea (Gardner) and Natalie (Knight) and Asia Boyd.”

The 1-2 recruiting punch landed by Schneider and staff lent credibility to his aggressive goals. And he

TEAM USA GUARD JULIAN DEBOSE, FOREGROUND RIGHT, AND OTHER SQUAD MEMBERS warm up outside prior to a team practice at Gwangju High School on Wednesday in Gwangju, South Korea.

Jayhawks ‘more intense’ for second practice

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self wanted to raise the intensity at practice on Wednesday morning at Gwangju High, the second practice in Korea for the Jayhawks.

They completed that goal, but it wasn’t without a few hiccups.

There were some issues with a slick court. Windows were open, and the humidity forced people to constantly wipe the floor with towels.

But the biggest setback happened when KU freshman Carlton Bragg broke his nose about 30 minutes into the hourlong practice. Bragg isn’t expected to miss much time, but the Jayhawks are already short-handed without sophomore guard Devonté Graham (quad) and junior guard Brannen Greene (hip).

“We were more intense today,” Self said. “We were better. The floor is not very good. This isn’t where we’re playing our games, but you can’t play too hard on this

We’ll see how long he’s going to be out of pocket with that. Hopefully he won’t miss anything. But it was better today.”

The Jayhawks warmed up

in the street prior to their practice because Serbia was in the gym beforehand. Team USA faces Serbia at noon on July 8 (10 p.m. CDT July 7). Teams can only practice on the court for an hour, so stretching beforehand saves precious time.

“Maybe not since I was in AAU when I was like 16 or 17,” said KU senior forward Jamari Traylor when asked the last time he warmed up in the street. “We just had to do anything. But, hey, stuff happens. You have to make the best of it.”

In their second practice, the Jayhawks tried to push the pace as much as they could, splitting between guards and forwards to separate sides of the court before joining to play offense and defense against each other.

“It was good,” SMU senior guard Nic Moore said.

“Just a little hour. Try to get our sweat up and work out. I mean, guys are still trying to get to used to the time change and all that. But we just need to get out here and have fun.

My role on the team is just be a leader, get guys hyped and have fun, you know what I mean.”

The practice was more crisp than USA’s first practice on Tuesday, though some players are still feeling the effects of jet lag.

Astros complete sweep of Royals

Houston (ap) — The Houston Astros statement sweep of the Kansas City Royals came at a cost, as center fielder George Springer could be heading to the disabled list because of an injured right wrist.

Jose Altuve had three hits and scored the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning to help the Astros complete the three-game sweep with a 6-5 win on Wednesday night.

Springer, who is hitting .264 with 13 homers and 29 RBIs, was plunked with a 95 mph fastball thrown by Please see KEEGAN, page 3C Edinson Volquez in the fifth

inning. He left the game shortly after and was having X-rays after the game. But manager A.J. Hinch wasn’t optimistic about the injury.

“We’re going to get more and more tests with some specialists,” Hinch said. “It was painful for him. There was some swelling. It was in a tricky area; anything around the hand and the wrist area is cause of great concern. We’ll see how it goes but, I do think it’s going to be a DL.” The game was tied at 5 in the seventh when Kelvin Herrera (1-2) plunked Altuve on the forearm. Altuve

stole second and reached third on a lineout. He put Houston on top when he beat the tag at the plate on a fielder’s choice by Chris Carter.

The play was reviewed and upheld.

“I knew it was a close play,” Altuve said. “With those plays, you never know if you are safe or not. But I was hoping to be safe because I know our bullpen is really good, and I think that run will be enough to win the game.”

The Astros trailed early before taking a 5-3 lead after a four-run fifth inning.

NBA FREE AGENCY

Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers are reuniting.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations tells the Associated Press that Pierce has agreed to a three-year, $10 million deal to join the Los Angeles Clippers. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday because no contracts can be finalized until July 9 per NBA rules.

Pierce spent this past season with the Washington Wizards, and they wanted him back for a second year. But the lure of going back to Southern California — he went to high school in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California — and playing for Rivers again was apparently too strong to ignore.

And although Pierce — a Kansas University product who is entering his 18th NBA season — said at one point last season that the 2015-16 campaign would be it, maybe that’s no longer the case either.

Rivers coached Pierce for nine seasons in Boston, where the veteran forward spent the first 15 years of his career. Together, they helped the Celtics win the 2008 NBA title.

Pierce has been on a series of one-year stints since, first Brooklyn, then Washington, and now he heads to the Clippers — who went to the Western Conference semifinals this past season after ousting San Antonio in one of the league’s most memorable opening-round matchups in recent memory.

The Clippers have a core that seems championship ready, and Pierce — the No. 16 scorer in NBA history — figures to only help them get closer to actually winning one.

The first full day of NBA free agency featured skyrocketing salaries and a flurry of moves, though no decision yet from LaMarcus Aldridge. Players and teams agreed to more than $1 billion worth of deals. n Kevin Love made his choice quickly, opting to stay with the Cavaliers on a fiveyear deal that could be worth more than $110 million. n Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy also stayed put in Chicago for around $115 million combined, Goran Dragic is remaining in Miami, and Paul Millsap will stick with Atlanta. n Tyson Chandler is headed to Phoenix, taking $52 million over four years to leave Dallas, while Atlanta’s DeMarre Carroll agreed to a deal with Toronto for $60 million over four years. n In a market filled with big men, the little guys were also getting theirs. That includes around $90 million for Dragic in Miami and $70 million for Brandon Knight in Phoenix. n Khris Middleton also received $70 million to remain in Milwaukee. n Draymond Green is coming back to the Golden State Warriors. Green announced on Bleacher Report’s Uninterrupted website Wednesday night he has agreed to a five-year deal with the Warriors reportedly worth about $85 million.

VENUS, LEFT, AND SERENA WILLIAMS COMPETE IN SINGLES MATCHES Wednesday at Wimbledon. The sisters are two victories away from meeting across the net from each other.

Williamses win, move closer to showdown London — Venus Williams is no longer the player she once was, on account of the passage of time and the day-to-day ups and downs of an energy-sapping condition.

At age 35, 21 years removed from her first professional tournament, Williams still possesses a dangerous serve, along with the muscle memory that comes with seven Grand Slam singles titles, five at Wimbledon.

And so while it is her younger sister Serena who is ranked No. 1, has 20 major titles and owns a 23-match Grand Slam winning streak as of Wednesday, the elder Williams is still in the draw at the All England Club, too — and the siblings are closing in on what would be their 26th all-in-the-family matchup on tour.

“She probably comes back here and, you know, I think, she almost feels like this is home,” said David Witt, Venus’ coach. “When you have confidence, you have everything.

That’s with any sport. And I guess when she gets here, it’s a confidence thing.”

On the hottest day on record in Wimbledon history, with the temperature topping 95 degrees (35 degrees Celsius) — and a terrific day for American women — both Williams sisters won second-round matches: 16th-seeded Venus beat 95th-ranked Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan 7-6 (5), 6-4, while top-seeded Serena defeated 93rd-ranked Timea Babos of Hungary 6-4, 6-1.

Two more wins, and the siblings will meet in the fourth round.

“She poses a big threat for me,” Serena said about Venus.

They pulled out of doubles on Tuesday, citing “soreness” for Serena, who wants to focus on her pursuit of a fourth consecutive Grand Slam title.

Four other women from the U.S. won Wednesday, including two real surprises: 158th-ranked qualifier Bethanie MattekSands eliminated No. 7 Ana Ivanovic, the 2009 French Open champion, 6-3, 6-4; and 47th-ranked CoCo Vandeweghe, the niece of former NBA player and executive Kiki, beat No. 11 Karolina Pliskova 7-6 (5), 6-4.

Also advancing: No. 21 Madison Keys, who finished off a match suspended because of darkness at 2-all in the third set a night earlier, and Sloane Stephens.

A pair of U.S. men moved on, too: No. 17 John Isner and 105th-ranked wild-card entry Denis Kudla, who followed up his victory over No. 28 Pablo Cuevas by getting past 18-yearold Alexander Zverev.

BASEBALL

Dipoto quits as Angels GM Anaheim, Calif. — Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto resigned Wednesday, abruptly ending his 31⁄2-year tenure with the club amid apparent tensions with manager Mike Scioscia.

Former general manager Bill Stoneman will take over as the interim GM for the rest of the season, the Angels announced.

The 71-year-old Stoneman was the Angels’ GM from 2000-07, hiring Scioscia and presiding over their only World Series championship team in 2002. He has remained a consultant and adviser for the Angels since stepping down.

The Angels have been vague about the reasons for Dipoto’s departure, but his moderately successful tenure apparently destructed shortly after a contentious team meeting last weekend.

LJWorld.com/highschool • Facebook.com/LJWorldpreps • Twitter.com/LJWpreps

Scioscia and Dipoto previously have clashed over philosophical differences during the GM’s tenure, and the latest dispute reportedly concerned Dipoto’s desire for the Angels to play with more attention to statistical analysis and scouting reports.

Scioscia still claims he is working well as a team with Dipoto, and he insists they have no philosophical differences.

But Dipoto is still leaving the big-budget Angels (41-38), who had won four straight to move a season-high four games over .500 heading before losing to the New York Yankees on Wednesday night.

Vols leave Adidas for Nike Knoxville, Tenn. — Tennessee is opening its doors to the Nike swoosh while bidding farewell to the Lady Vols nickname and logo in all but one sport.

Nike took over as Tennessee’s main apparel provider Wednesday as part of an eight-year contract worth about $35 million in money and gear. Tennessee had been an Adidas school since 1997.

Rather than holding a news conference to mark the changeover, Tennessee ran an hourlong video on its website in which studentathletes walked down a runway modeling the new Nike uniforms as music played. After each introduction, a Nike official explained the uniform design.

“When Nike speaks, everybody listens,” Tennessee football coach Butch Jones said on the video. “We’re proud to be great partners with them moving forward.”

The new gear includes “Smokey gray” alternate uniforms for several teams. The football team’s alternate uniform also features a gray helmet with a silhouette of the Smoky Mountains.

Those new uniforms will only include a Lady Vols logo in one sport.

Tennessee announced in November that all its teams other than the women’s basketball squad would be called the Volunteers and would adopt the “Power T” logo used by the men’s teams starting in 2015-16. School officials said they made an exception for the women’s basketball team out of respect for that program’s championship legacy and tradition established by former coach Pat Summitt.

NFL

Name hurts DC’s lease efforts Washington — The National Park Service won’t grant the District of Columbia a new lease for the site of the Washington Redskins’ old stadium in part because Interior Secretary Sally Jewell opposes the team’s name.

Jewell reiterated that position during a meeting in late April with Mayor Muriel Bowser, Interior Department spokeswoman Jessica Kershaw said.

Bowser’s administration has been in preliminary talks with the Redskins about moving the team back to Washington and building a new stadium. The team currently plays its home games at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, but the Redskins’ lease there expires in 2026.

The Redskins previously played at RFK Stadium in Washington. The stadium sits on land owned by the National Park Service that is leased to the city. The lease expires in 22 years.

The city would need an extension to build a new stadium there.

Young steps down as LHS girls soccer coach

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

After three seasons at the helm of Lawrence High’s girls soccer program, Justin Young has decided to resign from his head-coaching duties.

Young posted a record of 11-39-1 over his threeyear stint with the Lions,

including a 4-13 season this spring.

“It was the right time to step away so that I could make sure I had the time I needed for myself,” Young said. “That way I could spend the time with my family as well.”

Young came to Lawrence High from Pembroke Hill High School

in Kansas City, Missouri.

He remained an assistant on the Raiders’ boys soccer team in the fall while coaching the LHS girls in the spring. While Young is excited to spend more time with his wife and son, he is thankful for the opportunity he had to coach the Lions.

“I think the girls have

made a lot of improvements over the three years,” Young said.

LHS athletic director Bill DeWitt said Young played a big role in bringing stability to the program after there had been turnover on the coaching staff in the prior four years.

DeWitt has not started

the interview process yet, but said he hopes to have a new coach in place by the time school starts.

“We haven’t really started interviews or anything, just kind of having conversations here and there with the community of Lawrence and take our time to make sure we find a good

fit for the girls,” DeWitt said. “Since they’re in the spring, obviously we do have a little extra time. I don’t like that we don’t necessarily have soccer-specific workouts or conditioning, but with all the other things going on, those kids have opportunities to stay in shape.”

The Jayhawks will scrimmage against China at 5 p.m. Thursday at a different local high school to avoid the slippery court at Gwangju High.

put some thought into how the transfers will fit, making sure sophomoreto-be guard Lauren Aldridge is a big part of the future.

“We didn’t want to get into a situation where we couldn’t get all three to play together,” Schneider said. “We watched a lot of film. I watched a lot of film on Lauren, and then I watched a lot of film on both Jess and McKenzie and felt like we can definitely have those three out on the lineup at the same time.”

He didn’t hesitate in pinpointing what he likes best about them playing together.

“They all three can shoot,” he said. “The way we play, the ones and twos are interchangeable, and the threes and fours are interchangeable. We play more of a stretch four than a power forward.”

The staff is scouring the country to identify and recruit post players. Schneider likes what he can sell to a post player: “We can tell a big, ‘Look, you’re going to have four shooters around you. We’re going to try to make it so that you’re not playing against doubleteams and a bunch of zones. We can keep people out of your lap a little bit.’”

Schneider likes what he sees when he looks into the horizon of KU basketball. The power of the men’s program, the historic figures after whom courts and buildings are named impress recruits, Schneider said.

“I just don’t see why we can’t build it into what we visualize it can be,” Schneider said. “You look around and try to think about, what do we lack? What do we not have? I’m hard-pressed to find anything. I’m hard-pressed to find any reasons why Jessica Washington wouldn’t want to come here. Why wouldn’t McKenzie Calvert want to come here? Why wouldn’t a top post player want to come here? McKenzie and Jessica canceled all their visits after coming here.”

He and his staff are off to a great start. It’s not easy generating interest in women’s basketball in June, and they did so twice.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

No no-no for Carrasco The Associated Press

American League Indians 8, Rays 1 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Carlos Carrasco came within one strike of throwing the Indians’ first no-hitter since 1981 on Wednesday night, giving up an RBI single to Joey Butler over leaping second baseman Jason Kipnis’ glove in a victory over Tampa Bay. For the third straight night, the Indians took a perfect game into the sixth inning against the Rays. This time, Carrasco retired the first 19 batters before walking Butler with one out in the seventh.

Washington’s Max Scherzer lost his perfect game with one strike to go on June 20 but finished with a no-hitter, the second in the major leagues this season.

BRIEFLY Jayhawks’ Beck signs with Rays

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL STANDOUT WAYNE SIMIEN gets down to talk shop with young basketball players, from left, Piper Braton, 7; Jayla Heston, 7; and Raygen Lewis, 8, as the three prepare for a series of dribbling drills during Simien’s Called to Greatness girls camp Wednesday at Rock Chalk Park.

Kansas University senior first baseman Blair Beck has signed a free-agent contract with Tampa Bay and is playing for the Rays’ rookie club in the Gulf Coast League.

“I am absolutely thrilled Blair got the opportunity to play professional baseball,” KU coach Ritch Price said.

“He had an outstanding senior year. He is a great teammate and a great Jayhawk all around.”

Beck, a native of Midland, Texas, gained All-Big 12 honorable mention hon-

ors after a senior season in which he hit .270 with nine doubles, eight home runs and 37 RBIs. “Blair is a true baseball rat,” Price said. “There is nobody in the dugout that’s more engaged. The kid loves the game.”

Beck went undrafted in the Major League Baseball draft.

“Once it got to the 35th (round), I said, ‘I’m going to have to go finish my degree and face the real world,’” Beck said.

Beck collected his first professional hit, a single, on June 25, in a 5-4 loss to the GCL Red Sox.

Woman concerned by in-law’s groping habits Dear Annie: I am gay. Two years ago, my partner of 34 years told me that my brother-in-law had touched her breasts inappropriately. I didn’t believe her and we had a huge fight over it. She never confronted him or told my sister, and she has continued to socialize with my family.

Last weekend, we attended my niece’s graduation, and much to my horror, my brother-in-law rubbed his hand across my butt. Worse, I then had to get into the same car with him. I was shocked and said nothing, even though I was terribly upset. I avoided him the rest of the weekend, but things haven’t been quite right since.

A year ago, I moved to another state and

touched other females in the family.

I am close to my sister and don’t want to hurt her. We are not young anymore and don’t have a tremendous amount of time left to be near each other. But I am not comMarcy Sugar and fortable with the idea staying in the same Kathy Mitchell of house with him. How anniesmailbox@comcast.net do I explain that to my spend vacations with sister without causing my sister and her fam- more harm? — Conily, either in her home fused and Angry or mine. Now I’m not sure I should continue.

Cooking shows leave a bad taste Who wants to watch another cooking show? Another culinary contest starring “kid” chefs as well as adults? Another show hosted by Adam Richman? Featuring Rocco DiSpirito as a judge?

If the staggering sameness of all that sounds like your idea of fun, then you’re in luck. “Food Fighters” (7 p.m., NBC) enters a second season.

“Fighters” pits an ambitious amateur home cook against professional chefs. The only advantage the home chefs have is that they get to choose from their own signature dishes, while the professionals have to prepare a dish on the fly. A win for the home chef means a cash prize and a chance to advance. Win five rounds and the award is $100,000.

For the record, Adam Richman has been appearing on food-related series since 2008, when he hosted “Man v. Food.” Since then he’s appeared as a host, judge or a guest “eater” on no fewer than 10 culinary reality shows, from “Iron Chef America” to “Man Finds Food” and “BBQ Champ.”

He has always been filling his pie hole on TV. He used to be an actor in scripted series, including “All My Children” and “Joan of Arcadia.”

Rocco DiSpirito has been a part of the reality TV food game since NBC premiered his show “The Restaurant” in 2003. That show was a great example of how reality TV and “real” business do not mix. Or, rather, mix badly.

While a TV show would seem to be a perfect marketing hook for an eatery, DiSpirito’s relationship with his restaurant’s owner dissolved into an acrimonious lawsuit. DiSpirito later lost the suit and was even legally barred from re-entering the place he had helped make famous.

DiSpirito’s reward for this setback was to appear on reality TV shows for the next dozen years, including “Rocco Gets Real,” “Top Chef,” “Dancing With the Stars”, “Rocco’s Dinner Party, “Now Eat This!” and “Restaurant Divided.”

While some may find “Fighters” overly familiar, if not spectacularly unoriginal, the appetite for such series appears boundless. Also on the dial tonight are three repeats of “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m., BBC America); “Cupcake Wars” (7 p.m., Cooking); “Donut Showdown” (8 p.m., Cooking); “Ultimate Food Showdown” (8:30 p.m., Cooking); and two helpings of “Carnival Eats” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Cooking).

Tonight’s other highlights O Rene prepares for a magazine interview on “The Astronaut Wives Club” (7 p.m., ABC).

O A bomb scare rattles Ethan on “Wayward Pines” (8 p.m., Fox).

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++ You are like a flare of light in the middle of a chaotic Full Moon. You might not like someone’s ideas. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

you.

Please talk to your sister. Say that you’ve noticed some disturbing changes in your brother-in-law’s recent behavior and that you worry he may have some physical or neurological problems. You will have to tell her what you mean, but do so with concern and caring, instead of accusations and condemnation.

Suggest to her that she get him to a doctor for a complete work-up and evaluation.
