Revitalizing neighborhoods: a tale of 2 cities Lawrence and Topeka have taken very different approaches, but the results have been largely the same

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — In 1994, the state of Kansas enacted a new program aimed mainly at helping cities lure new investment and development back into distressed neighborhoods.

The Neighborhood Revitalization Act was largely the idea of Topeka city officials who were looking for ways to revitalize that city’s troubled downtown and crumbling innercity neighborhoods.

“The original impetus behind this was downtown,” Topeka Planning Director Bill Fiander said recently.

“When the act passed, Downtown Topeka Inc. president Joe Swalwell (now retired) went to the Legislature to support this thing.

The real impetus was to get more investment downtown, and then it evolved into the neighborhoods as well.”

It’s a program that

“

I’m wondering if there is a way for us to be as creative and generous for regular folks as we are for large developments.”

— Douglas County Commissioner Nancy Thellman encourages property owners to improve or rehabilitate their property by offering rebates of all or a portion of the new property taxes that result from the improvement project.

In the 21 years since passage of the act, Lawrence and Topeka have taken vastly different Please see ACT, page 2A

In Lawrence so far, the city has used the Neighborhood Revitalization Act not to benefit whole neighborhoods but almost exclusively for a select few large commercial developments.

L awrence J ournal -W orld of square footage, and not necessarily the overall condition of the property.

Under Topeka’s policy, a project has to add at least 10 percent to the value of residential property, and 20 percent for commercial property, in order to qualify for the NRA rebate.

“If you just put a new roof on and paint it, or even new air conditioning and heat and plumbing, appraisers will not add a lot of value,” he said. “They’ll add some, but not enough to qualify. You have to do moderate to significant investment. Because of that, we’ve seen fewer and fewer homeowners and small businesses over the years that apply. It benefits the most those who build from the ground up.”

Another factor, he said, is that in Topeka, as in most cities, owners still have to pay the new taxes generated by the project up front, and it can take as long as two years — after the project has been inspected and certified to qualify — before they see their first tax rebate.

“So if you’re in the business of a more sophisticated developer or business person that can wait to have that credit against your taxes, then it works,” he said. “If you need more of an infusion of cash up front, it’s not going to help you.”

Despite that, Fiander said, Topeka’s policy has sparked significant development since that city’s program launched in 1995.

Among the more significant early projects, he said, were the Capitol Plaza Hotel just south of downtown, and the American Investors Life Insurance Company headquarters, which replaced a vacant 1930s-era bank building that others had tried and failed to rehabilitate.

Through 2014, according to Topeka city records, the city’s NRA program has been used on 530 projects totaling $334 million. That includes $78 million of investment in the city’s downtown core.

Rebates paid out over that time have totaled $31 million.

But Fiander said the program has been successful enough in Topeka that local governments are now recouping their investments as many of the early projects, including the Capitol Plaza Hotel and the downtown insurance building, are now fully back on the tax rolls.

“More are coming back on the tax rolls now than there are new rebates being granted,” he said. “It’s been good for the city.”

Choose the right spark plug

S

park plugs produce a spark that ignites the gas in a motor chamber. Without a spark to properly ignite the gas, a gas-powered motor cannot run. Knowing when to replace a spark plug is an important part of any gaspowered engine maintenance plan.

Step 1: To check a spark plug on a cool engine, pull off the spark plug wire and use a wrench or deep well socket to remove the spark plug.

Step 2: The central electrode runs through the center of the plug and is seen as a metal tip surrounded by insulating porcelain at the base of the plug. Electric current is carried through the central electrode to the grounding electrode, which is the L-shaped piece of metal located at the bottom of the plug.

Using a wire brush or soft cloth, clean away oil or carbon deposits from the electrodes. Replace the plug if either electrode appears damaged or worn.

Fix-It Chick

Linda Cottin Step 3: Replace the plug if any of the porcelain appears stressed or broken.

Step 4: Use an Ohm meter to test the spark plug. Hold one probe on the bottom metal ridge at the top of the spark plug and touch the other probe to the metal nub of the central electrode at the bottom of the plug.

The Ohm meter should register some level of resistance. Keeping one probe on the top of the plug, place the second probe on the metalthreaded portion of the plug. If the Ohm meter registers any resistance, the plug is bad and needs to be replaced.

Step 4: When replacing any spark plug, follow the engine

manufacturer’s recommendation.

Step 5: The letters and numbers that make up a spark plug’s part number indicate thread size, length and other important attributes. The number in the middle of the part number indicates the plug’s heat rating. Hotter plugs release less heat into the engine block, corrode less and last longer. Smaller numbers indicate hotter plugs. When an exact plug match is not available, using a plug that is one number lower than the recommended plug is a safe option.

Step 6: Resistor plugs are indicated by an “R” in their part number.

Resistors suppress ignition noise when a plug is sparked. Resistor plugs are only necessary in engines with electronic ignitions or computerized controls. Choose a non-resistor plug for most small engines.

As city and county commissioners discuss ways to deal with the over-population of the Douglas County Jail and community mental health issues, a new option may become a topic of conversation after four community leaders attended a national conference recently.

On July 1 and 2, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, Lawrence Mayor Jeremy Farmer, Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern and Sgt. David Hogue attended a conference at the White House in Washington, D.C., on “Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion,” or LEAD. The LEAD program began in Seattle in 2011 “in an attempt to move away from the War on Drugs paradigm,” according to LEAD King County (Washington). LEAD is a pre-booking diversion program that allows law enforcement to assess whether those accused of low-level drug crimes would be better served by receiving addiction treatment and community-based services rather than prosecution and jail time.

If officers decide a

Farmer

person would be better served elsewhere, they can refer the offender to the diversion program, according to LEAD King County. Prosecutors can also use discretion on whether to prosecute people who’ve been arrested or place them in the LEAD program.

Farmer said that if the program came to Lawrence, it could also address offenders who have mental illness issues as the underlying reasons for their crimes. Lawrence police officers are already scheduled to receive “crisis intervention training” to de-escalate mental illness situations this fall. Farmer said part of that training will be “giving tools to officers to make those decisions on whether people should be taken to jail.”

The idea is to treat the underlying problem beneath addicts’ crimes in hopes to stop the revolving door of low-level drug offenders in the jail, Branson said.

“(Presenters at the conference) talked about ‘criminalizing addiction’ while resources would be much better spent getting (drug addicts) treatment and help,” Branson said.

“It focuses on treatment versus just incarceration.”

Branson said his office has been researching diversion programs across the nation since about January and happened on the LEAD program about three weeks before the conference. Branson called it a “stroke of luck” that the conference was coming up, and a LEAD donor paid for Branson, McGovern, Hogue and Farmer’s airfare and hotels.

The ideal outcome, if implemented, is “to have fewer incarcerations for nonviolent offenders that would benefit from treatment or rehabilitation ultimately to reduce future criminal conduct,” Branson said. “This is really a Please see DIVERSION, page 8A

Woman, mom split on reaching out to relative Dear Annie: My brother, “John,” one of nine siblings, has not spoken to our 83-year-old mother in more than 12 years.

He lives less than five miles from her, drives past her house daily and never stops in. At first, he sent birthday and Christmas cards, but even that stopped.

Mom continues to send cards and reach out, but receives no response.

Evidently, John is upset with Mom because she asked whether he would testify in court against his pedophile stepfather if it became necessary to do so. John and his three older siblings were victims, and Mom wanted to protect her youngest child (my stepbrother) so that he would not be left alone with his

China takes on gamer addiction Is Web- or video game-addiction a disease? Or a “First World problem”?

Time was, the thought of Internet and gamer addiction — the inability to leave the screen or console behind for hours and days at a time — could have seemed like a First World problem, a neurosis of a pampered and privileged technological elite.

The “P.O.V” (9 p.m., PBS) documentary “Web Junkie” shows how Internet addiction has been diagnosed as a major social issue in China, and not merely among the wealthy. “Web Junkie” shows how the government has deemed it a national health crisis and has established militarystyle boot camps to break obsessive gamers of their asocial habits.

On one hand, the incarcerated teens profiled in “Web Junkie” seem much like the antiheroes of American movies. Eye-rolling, apathetic rebels, they resist official indoctrination as well as the tearful entreaties of their parents, who worry that their kids have abandoned society, friendship and even basic hygiene to play video games.

But this boot camp approach reflects concerns deeply rooted in Chinese history. The nation’s pride was wounded by the opium culture foisted upon its people by British imperialism in the 19th century. How much does losing young people to the oblivion of virtual fantasies resemble that history of addiction? And the very nature of the treatment reflects profound psychiatric concern as well as an echo of the political “re-education” camps established by Mao Tse-tung’s hardline Communists.

Watching “Web Junkie” is a trip to a rather grim place, but like the best documentaries, it demonstrates the universal in human experience while demonstrating vast differences in cultures and systems.

It also offers powerful commentary on the allure of video games. As one teen admits, he has abandoned all friends, family and normal life because, compared to his gaming existence, “Reality is too fake.”

you speak to John’s wife and ask what can be done?

As for the funeral, your anger is understandable, but be prepared for a ruckus if you try to keep John out. And the knowledge that you are punishing him this way will likely keep him from ever reconciling with his siblings. We trust you are not the only one making this decision. Please talk to your siblings about it, and also speak to your mother about her wishes.

Dear Sis: It’s possible that the idea of testifying against his abuser was more traumatic for John than he could process. John might actually want to get back in touch, but doesn’t know how and is afraid he would be roundly and repeatedly chastised. In order to reconcile, you may have to let the past go.

Long-vacant building to house dog-treat business D

ogs around the country may end up getting a taste of East Lawrence, which may cause you to wonder whether canines soon will start creating funky art, hosting wild kickball games and forming their own powerful neighborhood association.

But that’s not what I”m talking about. Instead, I have news of a business that plans to use an East Lawrence building to distribute dog treats across the country.

Lawrence businessman Gary Rexroad has confirmed that he and his wife, Angie, have purchased the long vacant building at the northwest corner of 11th and Pennsylvania streets to house a new dog treat venture.

The Rexroads have been running a dog food business called Love Grub for the last couple of years.

Its dog food is on the shelves of grocery and pet stores throughout the Lawrence, Topeka and

he said. “And I decided I was a better trumpet player than a football player, and that’s what it came down to.”

Earning a bachelor’s degree in music from the University of Texas and a master’s degree in education from the University of Houston, Foster soon began working in the musical world.

Moving around between Texas towns and eventually heading to Gainesville, Fla., to work as band director for the University of Florida, he held a number of jobs before Lawrence flew across his radar.

Though Foster did teach trumpet, he quickly gravitated toward directing. Both his father and “significant” role models in college led him further down that path, he said.

The responsibilities of a band director change with the band they’re directing, Foster explained.

“It depends on the program and the nature of the job. It depends on how much help and assistance they need,” he said. “If you’re working with sixth-graders, you’re teaching them how to hold an instrument, how to hold a note. You’ve got to select the music they’re going to play, then you have to teach it to them and teach them how to play it.”

Early in his career, Foster said, a constant drive to excel and improve kept him moving.

“My first job was (as) a junior high band director, but I wanted to be better than that, so I became a high school band director,” he said. “I wanted to be better than that, so I became a college band director. Then I wanted to be a director of bands where there’s a major school of music in a first-rate university. The University of Kansas was those things.”

David Bushouse, then Kansas University’s French horn professor and interim assistant band director, still recalls Ken Bloomquist’s exit as the

Kansas City area.

But about three months ago, the couple purchased the rights to Lucky Paws dog treats, which was created by Lawrence entrepreneur Raven Rajani. Rajani was looking to exit the business, and Rexroad purchased the recipes and the rights to market the product.

Rexroad said the dog treat business was appealing because dog treats are lightweight.

Bags of dog food, on the other hand, are heavy.

It costs a lot of money to ship bags of dog food to stores around the country, but shipping dog treats nationwide is much more feasible for a small company. Rexroad said the plan is to make the dog treat business a national one through deals with retailers and through online sales.

That’s where the East Lawrence building at 1045 Pennsylvania St. comes into play. Rexroad

university’s band director in 1971 and the search for his replacement.

Applications flew in from around the country, Bushouse said, but one stood out above the rest.

“At the time, (Foster) stood out,” he said. “The fact that he was very successful in the college and high school fields and his connections with the University of Texas and Florida were all great credentials.”

Later that year, Foster was hired and moved his family to Lawrence, quickly adding his touch to the program and expanding the school.

“He certainly put the band on the map,” Bushouse said. “Especially the concert band. They got around the country quite a bit. He got them on some major conferences and they took some good tours.”

Upon Foster’s arrival, KU’s band program consisted of a marching band of around 120 people, a top concert band, second concert band and a basketball band, Foster said.

He soon grew those offerings to include a jazz program and 11 separate bands involving more than 400 students, he said.

“He’s very much interested in people,” Bushouse said. “Whether students or colleagues, he always worked for the best in people. He was personally involved with helping people as much as he could within his position, and he really dedicated himself to the whole program.”

Over his 44-year career at KU, Foster said, he never had a reason to leave the school. There was always something left to improve, always a challenge or a goal to reach.

In May, he finally tendered his resignation at the university, and since then he’s been transitioning into retirement.

But for as long as Foster worked at KU, he’s been a part of the Lawrence City Band for nearly as long, he said.

“I started playing in the band in the trumpet section in 1971,” he said.

“And there was a conductor here already, but as he got older and as his health

has filed plans at City Hall that would allow for the dog treats to be “manufactured” inside the building.

“Manufacturing is such a big word though,” Rexroad said. “It is not smokestacks or rendering plants or anything like that. It is just a commercial oven. Right now we are doing it out of our kitchen, but there is only so much volume you can do that way.”

Rexroad said the business already is having difficulty keeping up with the demand for the

was not good, I started conducting more and more and he got to the point where he couldn’t continue.”

In 1992, Foster took over completely as the director of the city band, which includes over 50 professional musicians from around the area, he said. Different from the university’s bands, the city band is largely recreational and boasts many seasoned musicians.

Between May and July, the band holds weekly concerts in the William Kelly Bandstand in South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St. Each week Foster is responsible for many of the concert’s logistical details, as well as rehearsing with the band for a mere hour before the weekly concerts, which is what he considers a “bare minimum” amount of time.

“That reflects on the quality of the group,” he said. “They play very hard literature and they do it very, very well and with about as little time as needed to do it.”

Having played euphonium in the city band since the early 1980s, and having studied under Foster for his doctorate in 1972, Marion Roberts has been able to see Foster’s career develop over the decades.

Foster’s responsibilities with the city band include arranging music, composing, writing notes, teaching, raising funds and scheduling concerts, Roberts said. Although Foster’s wife, Becky, often helps shoulder some of the duties, he added.

“He’s been the real captain or admiral of our ship,” he said. “Everyone in the band looks up to him because of his experience and his credentials as a teacher.”

product. The company has negotiated a deal to be in Natural Grocer stores across the country. He said Lucky Paws seems to be filling a niche in the treat market because it is grain free, gluten free, and made in small batches.

“We’re selling it as a product produced by a small company that gives you a healthy alternative that you can trust,” Rexroad said.

“The company’s phone number is on every bag, and that number rings to my wife’s cellphone. It is not like it goes to a big switchboard.”

Rexroad said if plans are approved, the company likely would add a couple of employees to assist in the production of the dog treats, which are made from ingredients such as potato flour, whole rice flour, peanut butter, eggs, ground turkey, and even real salmon filets.

“It is a real high-end

Not only is the city band a great recreational activity, but it also represents a significant portion of the town’s history, Foster said. “(The city band) started when the first settlers got here,” Foster said.

“There have been band concerts by the citizens of Lawrence for the citizens of Lawrence ever since there’s been a Lawrence.”

For 23 years, Foster has directed the city band, sharing his talent and leaving his mark, Roberts said. And while some of the pieces performed by the group were composed by musical giants like Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky or John Philip Sousa, others were crafted by Foster himself.

“Bob really is an incredible composer,” Roberts said. “Many of the works we perform on the stand are arranged by or composed by Bob Foster.”

Continuing further into his retirement, Foster said the city band’s concert this Wednesday, the last of the summer, will be his last as director.

Likening his exit to an athlete who can no longer perform at a top level and chooses to step down, Foster said he’s sure he’ll miss both the university and the city band, but he’s looking forward to enjoying future concerts as a member of the audience rather than a participant.

The city band’s Grand Finale concert and Foster’s last as director will begin at 8 p.m. Wednesday at South Park. The event is free and open to the public.

treat,” Rexroad said.

“The ingredients are people-food quality.”

I’ll be honest, this is the point where I became a bit nervous.

The last time I wrote an article about a dog treat business — a nonprofit venture by the Lawrence Community Shelter — I ended up being persuaded to eat a dog treat because they “taste a lot like a cookie.” I have no doubt that the dog treat was very high quality, but I will say that dogs are not the best judge of cookies. (Although, I’m sure dogs all over town talk behind my back about how my coat is lacking in sheen.)

Rexroad did not offer me a sample, but if plans are approved, you likely will be able to go to the business and buy some for yourself. In addition to the production and warehousing operations, plans call for the 2,200-square-foot building to also house a pet supplies and grooming

retailer. Rexroad said an existing company in town would run that portion of the business.

Rexroad said he’s begun having meetings with the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association and other residents in the area to talk about plans for the building, which several years ago operated as a store that sold used items for home improvement projects.

“We want to be great neighbors in East Lawrence,” Rexroad said. “We want to be part of that neighborhood. It is such an awesome part of town.”

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission is scheduled to make a recommendation on the special use permit for the business at its July 22 meeting. City commissioners would hear the issue a few weeks later.

Volunteer value It’s great to see some local young people getting an early lesson in the value of volunteerism.

Y

oung people taking part in the local Summer of Service are helping others while also developing skills that will serve them well in the future.

This summer, 73 middle school and high school students are participating in the program sponsored by the United Way of Douglas County. Among the other duties the volunteers are helping distribute food at the Penn House mobile food pantry, serving meals at LINK and working at the Lawrence Humane Society.

Their work has a host of benefits beyond just providing a helping hand at some local agencies. Teens interviewed for a story in last Monday’s Journal-World expressed surprise at the number of people in the community who need food assistance. That awareness may be a little jolting for young people who take such things for granted.

The opportunity to interact with people who have different lives and face different challenges also is a valuable life experience. Hopefully, the young people also enjoy the camaraderie of working with fellow volunteers.

For young people who communicate so regularly through text messages and Facebook, the simple act of one-on-one personal interactions with clients and other volunteers can be an important learning experience. “It has made me better at talking to people,” said one volunteer. That’s a basic skill that will benefit these young volunteers as they continue their education or enter the workforce.

More and more, volunteer service has become an important consideration for college and job applications.

Hopefully the students participating in the Summer of Service will see their work as more than something to put on their resumes. It’s great to see local young people getting an early lesson in how volunteering contributes to a fulfilling life.

Saudi prince took the long view Washington — It was a measure of Prince Saud alFaisal’s skill as a diplomat that he helped sustain the long friendship between the United States and Saudi Arabia through events that could have (and maybe should have) shattered it — an oil embargo, several Arab-Israeli wars, the rise of al-Qaeda, the failed U.S. occupation of Iraq, and the menace of Iran.

Through it all, Saud did what foreign ministers advocate but rarely achieve: He took the long view. He had been educated at Princeton, and he remained fundamentally pro-American throughout his 40 years as foreign minister. He attached the kingdom to America, and vice versa, for better and sometimes for worse. He had the diplomat’s skill of conciliation. He made inaction seem like a virtue.

Saud, who died Thursday at 75, had the stately appearance of a Bedouin prince of the desert. He was tall and thin, careful in his speech, ascetic in his personal manner. He seemed immune from the swings of optimism and pessimism that often afflict outsiders who deal with the region. He suffered in his later years from Parkinson’s disease, which caused his hands and voice to trem-

“

Saud’s weakness was that he allowed the kingdom to work with violent groups (sometimes with America’s secret encourgement) to try to check threats.” ble. The frailty of his body accentuated the precision of what he said.

I interviewed Saud many times. The most poignant encounter was the last, in Riyadh in November 2011. The revolution then known as the “Arab Spring” was raging across the Middle East, toppling governments and bringing havoc, and the Saudi establishment was in a panic of self-preservation. Saud was one of the few Arab leaders who looked past the tumult to the fundamental fact that long-overdue changes were coming and that they could, eventually, be positive.

“It is a great transformation in the Arab world,” he told me. “It is happening in different ways in different countries for different reasons. I think the similarity in these cases is a lack of attention to the will of the people by the governing bodies, and an assumption that they can go on neglecting the will of the people because they control the situation. But you can never avoid what the people want, no matter what government you have.”

Saud wanted Arabs to write their own history, even if they made mistakes.

“One doesn’t know what will result from these revolutions,” he said. “A revolution can turn out well: In America, it was a good revolution. But in France, it brought the Reign of Terror. What will happen in our part of the world?” Saud reflected for a moment, and then said: “Whatever decision they take, it will be their decision.”

As for Saudi Arabia, he said, “We will listen to our people and develop accordingly. We are developing, maybe not as quick as a revolution, but we are developing in a way that’s stable.” Four years later, with a new king and a new generation rising to power, the House of Saud continues to defy predictions that it’s on

the verge of revolution and collapse.

Saud’s innate caution often frustrated Americans, who wanted the kingdom to be more engaged and active on America’s agenda for the region. U.S. officials often didn’t listen carefully enough. Perhaps the clearest example was Iraq.

Saud’s weakness was that he allowed the kingdom to work with violent groups (sometimes with America’s secret encouragement) to try to check threats. The Saudis supported Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization back when they truly were a terrorist group.

They financed the Taliban resistance to Russian occupation in Afghanistan, creating the foundation for what became al-Qaeda.

Saud was a genuinely wise man, but it was clear, listening to him, that wisdom alone isn’t enough to solve problems. If the crises that surrounded the U.S.-Saudi relationship had been addressed by both sides more honestly, the region’s history might have been different. What Saud might have done as king we’ll never know, but he was a uniquely gifted diplomat.

In Jefferson County, authorities were waiting to discuss a June years 2 arson fire near ago Perry with a man IN 1990 who was currently out of the area. The county sheriff’s deputy Rick Jones said that a man believed to have information about the fire or to be in a position to get information about it, was currently out of town, and officials did not know when he would return. The fire had destroyed the former Hickory House restaurant, three miles north of Perry on Jefferson County Road 1029. The building had been abandoned and had no gas or electricity connected to it.

Time to rethink treatment of Greece The photo is shocking. A 77-year-old Greek retiree sits sobbing on the ground outside a bank with his passbook and identity card thrown on the ground. He had queued for hours at four failing banks but was unable to withdraw his pension of $178.

Not surprisingly, the photo of Giorgos Chatzifotiadis went viral. But the image illustrates much more than the suffering of ordinary Greeks.

This pensioner’s despair symbolizes the limits of a decades-old effort to meld European nations into one community based on shared democratic values. The longterm hope was to create a political superpower — the United States of Europe. A Greek exit from the euro would mark the end of this dream.

The danger of a Greek exit revolves less around its economic impact than it does on its potential political impact.

Radical parties of Europe’s far right and left have become strange bedfellows in promoting a Greek exit from the eurozone. Their common goal is to weaken the European Union and NATO. If Greece leaves and descends into deeper chaos, this embittered country will be strategically placed — in southeastern Europe — to cause headaches. Although it will still be an EU and NATO member, its leftist government

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

may see nothing to lose from seeking alliances elsewhere.

Already, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has cozied up to Vladimir Putin, who will have a potential ally inside NATO whom he can encourage to make mischief (although Putin has yet to offer any financial incentives).

This was not the way the European Union was supposed to turn out.

The European Union was formally inaugurated in 1993, and 11 EU members adopted the common currency, or euro, in 1999, with Greece joining in 2001.

This was a reach too far.

The essential problem is that Greek (and Portuguese and Spanish) culture and history are very different from Germany’s or Finland’s. They put different values on rules, on thriftiness.

Example: In 2010, Greece collected about 10 percent of its potential tax take; the German government collected nearly 98 percent of taxes due. So putting disparate

countries into one currency, with one set of fiscal rules (largely set by Germans), was a recipe for disaster.

When times were good, heedless French and German banks were happy to loan money to the Greeks, indifferent to the load of debt that Athens was amassing. And heedless Greek governments, banks and businesses kept borrowing.

When economic times turned bad, the level of Greek debt payments became unsustainable. Under pressure from Brussels, Athens tried uber-austerity; the Greek economy contracted by 25 percent and unemployment soared to 25 percent. It became clear that Greece could not “grow” its way out of debt or squeeze any more blood out of ordinary Greeks.

But instead of granting debt relief in 2010 (meaning irresponsible lenders would take a “haircut,” along with Greek borrowers), the EU kept lending Greece more money, which went to pay off private French and German banks. This only increased Greek debt levels.

Instead of facing reality, the northern Europeans insisted that Greece do the impossible. The resultant tragedy has revealed the hollowness of Europe’s political aspirations — and institutions. The euro was built on a mirage.

Pre-euro, if a country like Greece was in economic distress, it could devalue its currency, thus increasing its exports, and grow its way back to solvency. Locked into the euro, Greece has no such option.

If the EU were really the United States of Europe, it would have multiple mechanisms to transfer resources to a member state in a crisis.

But EU member states have been unwilling to commit to such transfer mechanisms.

The Greek crisis may prod EU members toward greater integration, but I doubt it. Globalization seems to be driving publics worldwide toward a heightened nationalism.

It is also still possible that EU officials will try to help, whether through debt reduction or by easing a Greek exit.

At the moment, however, the burghers of northern Europe seem more eager to see the Greeks suffer in order to discourage other EU members from leaving the euro.

This is shortsighted. In or out of the euro, Greece’s pain will fuel the narrative of radical European parties that are a threat to the future of a democratic Europe. If EU leaders want to save their political union, they should rethink their treatment of Greece.

thing more realistic and in line with the crimes that have been committed.”

Farmer said that what he liked about LEAD was that the treatment agencies were all homegrown. The program asked social service agencies to submit proposals of how much they’d charge the city for their services — like Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center in Lawrence — and LEAD, in turn, selected the most financially sound and service-appropriate options.

“There are no upfront infrastructure fees.

There’s no need for a drug court. The case is dropped and dismissed,” Farmer said. “The part I like is utilizing people in the community already providing services.”

A decision on whether to implement the program is still a long way off, Branson said. For now, the four will be spending time digesting what they learned from the conference and come together in the future for further discussion.

crime-prevention tool.”

Farmer said that after attending the conference, he thinks that “helping people work through their issues makes communities healthier and safer.”

“The War on Drugs says, ‘Put (drug addicts) in jail, lock ’em up and throw away the key,’” Farmer said. “That exacerbated the higher jail population, and more people are in need of case management and treatment.”

The Seattle LEAD program also focused on helping women in prostitution receive support, rather than incarceration, lowering recidivism.

While that problem isn’t as prevalent in Lawrence, the program can also be tweaked to cater to each community, Branson said.

LEAD offers a guideline, but it’s not a “one size fits all.”

“We have a high student and high transient population,” Branson said, “but there are still concepts there we can pull in for us. We can focus on conduct we think is going to be influenced

or changeable by going through a program like this.”

But don’t think all drug offenders are going to be running the streets of Lawrence if LEAD is implemented here. Many offenders, such as violent offenders or those who commit drug crimes for reasons other than addiction, wouldn’t be eligible for LEAD, Branson said.

“People with drug possession who are just opposed to a particular substance being outlawed — it won’t have any effects on them,” Branson said.

Branson said that the program in Seattle was cost comparable to incarcerating offenders.

And after three years in place in Seattle, the program organizers found that LEAD participants were 58 percent less likely to re-offend than a “control group” of offenders who “went through ‘system as usual’ criminal justice processing,” according to LEAD King County.

“There’s a willingness there in our community and law enforcement on how we can turn around and do this smarter,” Branson said. “Rather than bankrupting the community by incarcerating people, do some-

Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, head of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel, escaped prison the first time in 2001 and wasn’t recaptured until 2014. He escaped again Saturday.

MEXICAN DRUG LORD ESCAPES — AGAIN

Sinaloa cartel leader walks out through specially built tunnel Bart Jansen and Greg Toppo USA TODAY

A notorious Mexican drug kingpin who escaped once before from prison — and spent more than a decade on the lam — has done it again.

This time, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman disappeared down a hole near his cell and walked nearly a mile to freedom, triggering a massive manhunt Sunday.

Guzman wielded so much power as head of the Sinaloa drug cartel that the Chicago Crime Commission called him Public Enemy No. 1, a label applied to gangster Al Capone in 1930.

Guzman escaped late Saturday from Mexico’s Altiplano maximum-security prison through a specially built, lighted and ventilated tunnel that ended in a halfbuilt house in a rural farm field near the prison.

The elaborate escape route allowed Guzman to do what Mexican officials promised would never happen again: slip out of one of the country’s most secure penitentiaries.

“This represents, without a doubt, an affront to the Mexican state,” President Enrique Peña Nieto said Sunday during a previously scheduled trip to France.

“But I also have confidence in the institutions of the Mexican state … that they have the strength and determination to recapture this criminal.”

City, were being questioned, Mexico’s Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido said.

After Guzman’s first escape in 2001, from Puente Grande prison, he spent more than a decade on the run, rising to lead the Sinaloa cartel, which smuggles large quantities of drugs into the United States. The cartel is a key player in a drug war that has ravaged parts of Mexico for years and cost thousands of lives.

‘El Chapo’ vowed prison break Drug lord was among DEA’s most wanted Bart Jansen USA TODAY

“El Chapo” means Shorty, but a better nickname for Mexican drug cartel leader Joaquin Guzman might be “Slippery.”

Guzman, who is so enigmatic that his age between 56 and 60 is disputed, escaped late Saturday from the Altiplano maximum-security prison by slipping down a mile-long tunnel from his cell’s shower area.

Guzman had vowed to escape after his arrest in February 2014 in Mazatlan, Mexico, where he was caught without a shot on a beachfront vacation with his wife and twin daughters.

He wasn’t bluffing. In 2001, Guzman had escaped a Guadalajara-area prison called Puente Grande while serving a 20-year sentence by being wheeled out in a laundry cart. He was helped by prison guards who were convicted for their assistance.

Guzman stayed free more than a decade and became head of the Sinaloa cartel thought to supply the USA’s surge in heroin use.

Former Mexican attorney gen-

eral Jesus Murillo Karam told the Associated Press this year that risk of escape from Guzman’s latest incarceration “does not exist.”

Besides charges in Mexico, Guzman faces multiple drug-trafficking indictments in the U.S. He was on the Drug Enforcement Administration’s most-wanted list before his last arrest, and the Treasury Department labeled Guzman a drug kingpin.

Since 2008, a Chicago-based investigation of the Sinaloa cartel has seized $30 million, 11 tons of cocaine, 2,200 pounds of marijuana, 500 pounds of methamphetamine and 150 pounds of heroin by January 2015, accord-

Guzman escaped that time with the help of prison guards. He was recaptured in February 2014 and held at Altiplano since then.

“We share the government of Mexico’s concern regarding the escape,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday in a statement. “The U.S. government stands ready to work with our Mexican partners to provide any assistance that may help support his swift recapture.”

Mexico’s National Security Commission said Sunday that Guzman disappeared from Altiplano shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday after going for a shower. He escaped through a 20-inch hole that connected to a tunnel that was more than 1,500 yards long and had ventilation and stairs, Rubido said.

“We may never find him again,” said Michael Vigil, a retired Drug Enforcement Administration chief of international operations.

Vigil suggested that Guzman will resume command of the cartel unless captured within 48 hours.

Secretary of State John Kerry expressed optimism Sunday about reaching a historic nuclear agreement with Iran, which could be announced as soon as Monday.

After meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Vienna, Kerry said the two sides had “a few tough things” to resolve but was hopeful a deal could be reached.

The negotiators aim to curb Iran’s nuclear program and ensure it is only for peaceful purposes in exchange for relief from crippling economic sanctions against Tehran.

“I think we’re getting to some real decisions,” Kerry said. Negotiators had hoped to reach a deal

by June 30 but postponed the deadline several times because of differences over key issues that included how quickly sanctions would be lifted and a recent demand by Iran that all arms embargoes maintained against it be ended. Iran wants sanctions ended immediately, while the United States wants them suspended gradually to ensure Tehran complies with the agreement.

After a meeting Sunday with Yukiya Amano, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius expressed similar optimism about an imminent agreement between Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China — plus Germany. “I hope that we are finally entering the last phase of this negotiation,” Fabius said outside the Coburg Palace hotel, where the talks were held.

Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Ali Larijani, told the Iranian Students News Agency that although “some challenges remain ... overall, I believe that it’s moving forward, and in the current context, an outcome can be reached.”

The U.S. Congress, where many members are skeptical of a deal with Iran, has 60 days to scrutinize it. “We plan to go through it in great detail,” Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “I’m concerned about where we’re going.”

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House oversight committee, told Fox News that without 24/7 access to Iranian sites by inspectors, “this is not a deal we should be making.”

‘Jaws’ showing keeps it weird in Austin Rick Jervis USA TODAY

NEW BRAUNFELS , TEXAS

Even among Austin’s wacky, eccentric, weirder-than-life events, this one ranks up there.

Feet dangling in murky water, lights low, nothing between you and the water but a rubber inner tube. Then that famous ostinato of bass notes begins. Daaaa dum.

Daaaa dum. You can’t help but think: Is this really a good idea?

Really?

I joined about 750 people Saturday night in this Austin suburb to watch the classic sea monster movie, Jaws, on a giant blowup screen while floating in tubes in a man-made lake. Why? There’s no good answer other than this is how Austin does things.

The film was put on by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, an Austin-based theater chain that mixes cult classics with blockbusters and serves beer, wine and food. The theater also takes its show on the road — holding this screening in honor of the 40th anniversary of Jaws. In the water. On inner tubes.

As 150 people move to Austin each day, there’s growing consternation over whether the Texas capital can hold onto the weirdness and singularity that made it so popular in the first place. Newcomers move in, drive up rents, open hipster bars and gentrify neighborhoods. The city’s famed “Keep Austin Weird” mantra has been slowly replaced with “Please Don’t Move to Austin” T-shirts.

HEATHER LEAH KENNEDY

Moviegoers watch Jaws while floating on inner tubes on a man-made lake outside of Austin during a June screening by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.

If anyone’s doubting Austin’s weirdo-cred, that person should have showed up at the Texas Ski Ranch on Saturday night. Moviegoers began arriving two hours early in sheer excitement of watching one of the truly horrifying sea films while floating in the water. Some wore shark hats or blood-splattered shark costumes. Others had on “Amity Island Lifeguard” T-shirts, a nod to the fictional resort town where the film is set.

An earlier screening in June sold out within two hours. Saturday’s 750 tickets (at $40 each) sold out within six hours and spawned a waiting list of 2,700 hopefuls. Word of the show went viral on social media, becoming the top-trending topic on Face-

book one day last week (beating out Bill Cosby and former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle).

Organizers added three additional shows.

“The Alamo is still Austin at its core,” Drafthouse’s David Marmanillo told me before the show. “And, yes, Austin is still very weird.”

It helps to have a classic to draw crowds and keep Austin’s weird rep alive. Jaws, the story of a great white shark terrorizing a New England resort town, was released in 1975 and became an overnight sensation. It catapulted the career of director Steven Spielberg and at the time became the highest-grossing film (until Star Wars usurped it two years later).

Its struggles during production became Hollywood legend, including how the mechanical shark in the movie broke down so often that crewmembers nicknamed it “flaws” and the offcamera animosity between actors Robert Shaw (who played salty shark hunter Quint) and Richard Dreyfuss (oceanographer Matt Hooper).

Through it all, Spielberg made a classic. Jaws is considered the first-ever summer blockbuster and has grossed more than $470 million worldwide.

“It’s a genuine classic American movie,” said Tom Schatz, a University of Texas at Austin film professor and former head of the media studies department.

Of the Drafthouse screening, he added: “The Alamo has a history of doing wacky screening events.

This is perfect. … None of this surprises me at all.”

It’s starting not to surprise me, either. I moved to Austin two years ago from New Orleans, so my weird-bar was high. But the city has kept me amused with a steady diet of oddities, like the neighbor who used to walk her potbelly pig on a leash or the clouds of Mexican free-tailed bats that swarm overhead if you stand under the Congress Avenue Bridge at dusk.

Or watching Jaws in the water. As the lights dimmed, I pushed off on my inner tube and floated into position near the screen. “It’s only a movie,” I repeated to myself, as the ostinato ramped up and the shark took its first victim.

Just in case, I lifted my feet onto the tube.

Companies offer 100,000 opportunities Starbucks leads project to provide jobs for youths Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

A coalition of executives from some of the nation’s largest companies, spearheaded

by Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, pledged to hire 100,000 young Americans who have been shut out of the job market.

The 100,000 Opportunities Initiative, which launches Monday, aims to give a leg up to some of the estimated 5.5 million Americans, ages 16 to 24, who aren’t employed or in school. Demographers and economists refer to the group as “disconnected youth.”

Schultz, who pledged this year to hire 10,000 such youth by the end of 2018, is being joined by top executives from 16 companies who will look to hire young people for apprenticeships, internships and part-time or full-time jobs.

In addition to the Seattlebased Starbucks, Alaska Airlines, CHICAGO

Cintas, CVS Health, Hilton Worldwide, HMSHost, JCPenney, JPMorgan Chase, Lyft, Macy’s, Microsoft, Porch.com, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Taco Bell, Target, Walgreens and Walmart have signed on. The coalition is looking to recruit more companies to join the push.

“What we’ve learned over these last many years is that rules of philanthropy, the rules of engagement have radically changed,” Schultz told USA TODAY. “You really have to build a coalition of like-minded organizations and people who have the kind of experience and skill base and local knowledge to tackle a problem as complex as this.”

The push by Schultz, who has been outspoken in his call to shareholders about the need for the coffee company to embrace social responsibility, comes after a pledge to hire 10,000 veterans and the expansion this year of a company program that pays employees’ tuition toward an online degree at Arizona State University. Schultz also made a shortlived push this year for Starbucks baristas to engage customers in a dialogue about race relations.

Schultz has long been concerned about the dearth of oppor-

He grew up in a Brooklyn housing project but saw his fortunes change after earning a football scholarship to Northern Michigan University.

The plight of the young and poor — particularly people of color — was made more difficult by the Great Recession, when teenagers and young adults found themselves competing for jobs against adults and college graduates who were settling for positions below their skill level. At the

national level, 22% of blacks, 20% of Native Americans, 16% of Latinos, 11% of whites and 8% of Asian Americans fall into the category of disconnected youth, according to a study published last month by the policy group Social Science Research Council.

Though the situation has shown modest improvement since 2010, the peak year for youth disconnection over the past decade, the job prospects for many young people remain grim.

IN BRIEF GRAHAM: TRUMP IS ‘WRECKING BALL’ TO GOP

Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham says Donald Trump’s immigration comments threaten to wreck Republicans with the fastestgrowing segment of the American electorate, Hispanics.

“I think he’s a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican Party with the Hispanic community and we need to push back,” Graham said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.

Describing Trump as a “demagogue,” the South Carolina senator said that “this is a defining moment for the Republican Party.”

As Trump denounces many Mexican migrants as criminals and rapists — and rises in Republican presidential polls — Graham told CNN he is “very worried” about where the GOP is headed as a party.

“I don’t think this is the way to get the Latino vote,” Graham said.

“If we do not reject this way of thinking clearly, without any ambiguity, we will have lost our way.

If we don’t reject it, we’ve lost the moral authority, in my view, to govern this country.”

ther work nor go to school. This group of Americans is roughly the size of Minnesota’s population.

Martin Drell, who heads the infant, child and adolescent psychiatry division at LSU Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, said the post-recession malaise causes an enormous strain on the psyche of low-income Americans.

“There were always people who never made the American Dream, but what is happening now is the American Dream is getting more difficult to fathom for young people at the bottom layers of socioeconomic status,” Drell said.

The coalition will host a jobs fair in Chicago on Aug. 13, the first of what Schultz expects to be many across the USA. Schultz recruited actor and rap artist Common, a Chicago-native, to lead a discussion with about 2,000 young people. The companies set a goal of making 1,000 hires — including 200 on-thespot job hires — from young people who attend the Chicago fair.

“I believe in the talent that lies within our young people, and I know that when we give them a real chance, they will achieve and soar,” Common said in a statement.

NATION/WORLD DEBT CRISIS

FRUSTRATED GREEKS PLAY BLAME GAME Anger rises amid calls for austerity, doubts about their future

ATHENS The most tumultuous week in recent Greek history has left the country’s citizens angry, frustrated and unsure who’s to blame for their misery.

A week ago, Greek voters rejected more austerity measures in a referendum. Days later, the government unexpectedly unveiled an austerity plan similar to the one rejected, and now some European officials have suggested that Greece’s appeal for loans

should be turned down, the country should be forced to leave the eurozone and the government should sell most state assets.

“I don’t know how much more of this I can take,” said Maria Scafidi, 29, a tour guide. “We are not without blame, but it seems as if nobody wants to reach an agreement with us. They want to embarrass us and punish us.”

Some blame Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who took power in January, for promising concessions from creditors he could not deliver or for ignoring the outcome of the referendum.

Others criticize Germany and other creditor nations for insisting on higher taxes and budget cuts Greeks say they can’t afford.

His views are not yet mainstream, but it is clear the population is more frustrated than ever.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Monday jumps into a crowded field of Republican presidential candidates that already includes more than a half-dozen current and former governors.

Walker, 47, hopes to set himself apart as a Harley-riding, average American anchored by Midwest values who is a proven fighter and winner.

He has logged three election victories in the past four years, and one of those battles — a 2012 recall attempt — is sure to be center stage as he launches his presidential bid.

With his entrance into the race, members of the top tier of the GOP field all will have officially declared their candidacies.

Walker has been at or near the top of recent polls, along with former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

And he has consistently led the field in Iowa, where the presidential nominating contest officially begins with caucuses.

After his announcement, Walker is heading on a campaign blitz with stops in Nevada, South Carolina and New Hampshire. He will cap off the trip with a threeday RV road trip through Iowa.

Walker has been hailed as a conservative hero for taking on labor unions in a blue state that has voted Democratic for president since 1988. He first won election as governor in 2010 and then became the first U.S. governor to beat back a recall attempt.

When he defeated Democrat Mary Burke in 2014 for a second term, speculation mounted that he could be a presidential contender.

Haitian crisis brews in Dominican Republic Court ruling may force out tens of thousands who were born in the country but whose parents aren’t citizens Yamiche Alcindor USA TODAY

SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC The Organization of

American States is weighing in to help defuse a brewing crisis over the Dominican Republic’s plan to deport tens of thousands of Haitians living in the country.

On street corners, in restaurants and in living rooms in this capital city, people gathered to loudly debate how the government should handle Haitian immigration and the Dominican Republic’s relationship with its western neighbor on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.

Fear among Haitian descendants is widespread as they try to learn their fate under Dominican citizenship rules that may force many living here for years to leave. Activists say the Dominican Republic has a long history of discriminating against Haitians, who tend to be darkerskinned and poorer.

Immigration became a big issue after a catastrophic earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, prompting tens of thousands to seek refuge in the Dominican Republic. As tensions have risen, Dominican government leaders are meeting with Haitian officials and the OAS, which sent a mission here over the weekend.

“Dominican Republic is not going to deport any person who was born on Dominican soil,” Josue Fiallo, an adviser to the Dominican ministry of the presidency, told USA TODAY. “We are going to look into every person’s case to determine the truth. Therefore, I

think it’s not a subject that should create fear or generate anxiety.”

Fiallo said the government realizes deportations in the past may not have involved the due process needed, but this time, the government would make sure people’s cases were investigated.

In 2013, the Dominican Republic’s Supreme Court ruled that people born between 1929 and 2010 in the country to noncitizen parents did not qualify as

Dominican citizens. The decision effectively stripped tens of thousands of people of their nationality retroactively, prompting activists to accuse the government of making people stateless.

The majority of the people affected were people born in the Dominican Republic to Haitian parents.

Following the ruling, the government created a plan to restore nationality for thousands who could prove they were born in the country. Officials also created a program to consider granting legal residency to non-citizens — many of them Haitian workers — who could establish their identity and prove they arrived before October 2011. The deadline to apply to the non-citizen program was June 17. Since then, about 41,200 Haitians have voluntarily re-

turned home, Fiallo said.

Even so, Haitian Foreign Minister Lener Renauld accused the Dominican Republic of dumping undocumented Haitians at the border “like dogs” and asked the Dominican Republic to return to the negotiating table so that the two nations could figure out how best to receive potentially tens of thousands of Haitians living illegally in the Dominican Republic, The Miami Herald reported.

Fiallo said the Dominican government won’t separate families but is frustrated that Haiti has not helped more. He said many people are still waiting for Haiti to issue them passports.

Michele Daius said he is terrified of the changes the government has implemented. Daius, 50, came to the Dominican Republic from Haiti 40 years ago and spent all that time as an undocumented sugar cane cutter.

He worked in fields across the northern part of the country but never registered as a citizen.

“I sleep with one eye open and one eye closed,” Daius said. “I don’t have papers and I don’t get any respect in this country. I’d rather just die and be buried than be in this misery.”

PC SHIPMENTS DIP IN SECOND QUARTER Global shipments of personal computers declined in the second quarter of 2015, but the impending launch of Windows 10, scheduled for July 29, is expected to help drive growth in 2016, says research firm Gartner.

More than 68 million PCs were shipped April-June, down 9.5% from second quarter of 2014 — the steepest decline in nearly two years, Gartner says.

Investors hoping for a clean end to the Greek debt crisis over the weekend were sorely disappointed, as talks dragged on and key deadlines pushed off a few more days.

Proving once again the Greek debt crisis is more of a political issue than a financial one, European leaders of the 19 nations using the euro still couldn’t decide if they should prop up Greece with a $59 billion bailout or boot the nation out of the currency bloc. The leaders debated late into the night Sunday.

The leaders hashed out a tough proposal put forward by European finance ministers, following marathon talks by the finance ministers on whether to approve a third bailout for Greece.

A draft statement of the finance ministers Sunday stresses the “crucial need” to rebuild trust with the Greek authorities as a prerequisite for a new loan. It suggests that in the case of no agreement, negotiations should begin on Greece’s temporary exit from the common currency zone.

French President Francois Hollande, who wants to keep Greece in the eurozone, said as the leaders convened that France would do all it can to reach an agreement Sunday and keep the continent united. “It is Europe that is at stake,” he said.

But in a sign of the division among the leaders deciding Greece’s fate, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the talks will be “tough” and she ruled out “agreement at any price.”

The dragging on of the drama could be bad news for investors — who were reluctantly hoping

usually the worst force. Good news or bad news can be resolved and price discovery then occurs.”

David Kotok, chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors

policymakers might actually accomplish something this weekend. The euro dropped 0.5% late Sunday, said Bloomberg, setting up what could be a day of investor hand-wringing.

The lack of a decision is a disappointment as investors were just starting to block the troubles of this relatively tiny country out of their minds.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 212 points to 17,761 Friday and the Global X FTSE Greece 20 exchange-traded fund

rose 9% as investors hoped policymakers might come up with a pact. “Markets are pricing in a deal, and doing it emphatically,” according to a note from Bespoke Investment Group to clients.

The non-news over the weekend is probably the outcome investors dreaded most — even though it wasn’t a surprise given how long Europe has delayed dealing with the situation already.

“For markets, resolution is bullish regardless of outcome in my view. Uncertainty is usually the worst force. Good news or bad news can be resolved and price discovery then occurs,” said David Kotok, chief investment officer of Cumberland Advisors in a note to clients.

The lack of a deal puts investors right back where they were — waiting and watching. Greek officials are pushing against a number of belt-tightening measures proposed by the leaders of the other European nations in exchange for the bailout.

As stocks hit pothole, China car sales sputter

TOMOHIRO OHSUMI, BLOOMBERG

Nathan Bomey and Greg Gardner

USA TODAY and the Detroit Free Press

For the past 20 years, China has been the auto industry’s promised land. A population of 1.4 billion, a growing middle class and projections that sales (19.7 million in 2014) could reach 75 million annually by 2030 created a “what could go wrong?” attitude.

But now comes reality.

Auto sales in China — the world’s largest vehicle market — are suddenly sputtering as concerns mount over the country’s stock market plunge.

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers slashed its 2015 sales forecast Friday for sales of new cars, trucks and buses from 7% growth to 3% growth for the year.

Detroit-based General Motors, the No. 2 automaker in China behind Volkswagen, posted growth of only 4.4% in the first half of 2015 to 1.719 million.

The slowdown was even more noticeable in June. Last week, GM said sales of 246,066 vehicles from its joint ventures in China increased a negligible 0.4% in June from a year earlier, despite reducing prices by up to 20% on about 40 models. And Ford just reported sales fell 3% to 83,506 vehicles in June.

“Growth in auto sales is going to slow, in part because of income inequality,” said Linda Lim, professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business who has studied China’s stunning economic growth over the past quarter century. “In the beginning, (automakers) could tap the people who can afford to buy. Demand from that group is fairly saturated.”

The move comes after a precipitous drop in the China securi-

ties market wiped out more than $3 trillion in shareholder value in recent weeks.

Although shares jumped Thursday and Friday following the government’s latest attempt to intervene in the markets, the free fall has battered individuals who make up most of the country’s investors.

Although foreign car companies must share profits with China-based manufacturers, a growing market share in China is vital for manufacturers with global aspirations.

The nation’s vehicle sales market is a major source of growth not only for the U.S. but for Japanese, South Korean and German car companies.

LMC Automotive analysts said in a recent investor note that there’s “little reason for opti-

mism” for China’s car market in the near term.

There were already lurking signs of weakness undercutting the Chinese auto market, too.

Manufacturers have been engaged in a massive race to boost production that has outpaced demand and dented profits.

Carmakers built 270,000 more units than they sold in 2014, according to LMC, marking the widest gap between production and sales since 2007.

GM shares are sagging, hitting their lowest price last week since December. But some think investors are overreacting.

“While we, too, are anxious over China, we think GM’s stock is overreacting and maintain our bullish stance,” Citi Research auto analyst Itay Michaeli wrote Wednesday in a note to clients.

TRAVEL Charisse Jones USA TODAY

For some corporate trekkers, travel expenses are taking a toll on their personal bottom line.

That’s the takeaway from a recent study by human resources provider TriNet. Its survey of 1,000 business travelers found that 53% said they had not sought reimbursement for a business expense because they didn’t want to deal with the expense report.

More than half – 36% – said they had made that decision numerous times.

“I’d say for the average, honest employee, they’re losing money on their expense reports,” said Dan Fritcher, division chief technology officer for TriNet Cloud.

Waiting for reimbursements to land in their bank accounts is putting some workers in a potentially precarious position.

Among those polled, 60% said they’d experienced problems paying a personal expense because they were waiting for their company to pay them back for a business-related item.

“Let’s say I have a $5,000 credit limit, and I’ve got $2,600 in expenses on my personal credit card for work,” Fritcher explains. “Maybe I can’t pay a utility bill or something along those lines because my card is already maxed out with work expenses.”

Among those polled, the longest wait to get paid back by the company averaged five weeks, many days longer than the usual 30-day credit card billing cycle.

And the heftiest tab workers had to bear before getting reimbursed averaged $2,604.

Even small bills can add up.

prisons and maintains homes in Tampa and Phoenix, says that he personally absorbs about $100 a year in business expenses. “Tips, fees, tolls are sometimes too much of a hassle to submit,” he explains. “We have to have receipts no matter how small the amount.”

Some business trekkers will even forgo attending an off-site gathering where they could hone their professional skills. Among survey respondents, 53% had decided to take a pass on such an event because of concerns about having to carry a credit card balance after paying for travel or conference registration.

A slow payment turnaround by a company is particularly tough on workers who don’t have a corporate credit card, or prefer using their personal card to accumulate loyalty points and other perks, Fritcher says.

“You still have to turn in the expense reports,” he says, “but the employer is carrying the burden of . . . the balance.”

Fritcher says that equipping employees with certain tools can expedite the submission of expenses.

TriNet, for instance, uses a mobile app that allows employees to snap a photo of receipts as they’re traveling, “so your expense report can be just about done as the expense is occurring.

You just have to finalize it and submit it at the end of the trip,” he says.

Another Road Warrior, Steve Alhart, a broadcasting maintenance engineer who lives in Mills River, N.C., says that his company’s use of technology has made the expense process painless.

“My employer uses the ConCur app which has eliminated the need to (ship) receipts and paper documents to world (headquarters) for processing,” he says.

ASK THE CAPTAIN

Car rental companies now require more proof than a full tank Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

There may be no drier subject in the travel business than car rental fuel purchase options, but when the emails began flooding my in-box about Hertz’s new “Express Fuel” option, the topic suddenly turned interesting.

One of them came from Sara Mattes, a retired politician from Boston. She’s concerned about the new policy, which takes effect July 15. If you rent a car and drive less than 75 miles, Hertz will automatically bill you $13.99 for fuel unless you show a receipt proving you filled the tank.

“Who would read this fine print?” she asks. “Who would think to keep that last receipt?”

Car rental companies, not just Hertz, have been chasing customers who don’t fill up their tanks all the way when they return their vehicles. The way they see it, drivers who bring back their cars with anything less than a full tank aren’t paying for their entire rental. Consumers have a different perspective. They feel that they’re stuck between several difficult choices, and no matter what they do, the company ends up winning. “Express Fuel” just makes it even more perplexing.

Hertz is not driving down this road alone. Avis already offers a similar product called “EZFuel.”

Other car rental companies have begun informally asking customers to show a fuel receipt. But so far, they’ve been reluctant to put their policies in writing.

Hertz is calling Express Fuel an “option” intended to provide convenience for its low-mileage customers driving 75 miles or less during their rentals.

“Rather than refilling their gas tanks before returning their car, Hertz will take care of the refueling for an affordable, competitive rate of $13.99, getting travelers on their way and where they need to ON TRAVEL EVERY MONDAY

MINERVA STUDIO, GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

GET THE MOST FROM YOUR FUEL PURCHASE OPTION If you return your rental with less than a full tank of gas, the company will charge up to three times the market rate for gas to refill it. But you can avoid having to pay a premium by choosing one of these options. uPrepay: This option allows you to pay in advance for a full tank of gas, usually at a competitive rate.

Is it worth it? Not always. If you don’t return the car on “empty,” you’re overpaying. uEZFuel or Express Fuel: Allows you to pay a fixed price for fuel if you drive less than 75 miles.

Is it worth it? If you drive close to 75 miles, but don’t go over, then maybe. If you only drive a few miles, you’re paying too much. Get ready to show a receipt. uRefuel it yourself: You return the car with a full tank.

Is it worth it? If you have time and there’s a gas station near the rental location, this is almost always the best option. Keep your receipt.

be, faster,” says Anna Bootenhoff, a Hertz spokeswoman.

Auto rental consultant Neil Abrams says the new policy is justified. “Savvy renters have learned that they can drive considerable distances without the gas gauge moving, thereby evading responsibility to replace spent fuel,” he says.

Plus, the fee is a pretty good deal, he adds. If you do the math,

75 miles represents about 3.75 gallons of fuel. That works out to roughly $11.25 at current fuel prices, and Hertz is charging $13.99.

But not everyone agrees. A closer look at the terms of Express Fuel shows several problem areas, according to consumer advocate John Mattes, who also happens to be Sara Mattes’ brother. He notes that while you’re responsible for returning the car with a full tank, Hertz isn’t responsible for giving you a car with a full tank — an obvious double standard.

Hertz says it will only hold renters responsible for filling the tank up to the original fuel levels.

“Please explain the logic of a $13 charge to renters who just filled up the tank — that simply because they did not get the paper receipt, they will be punished,” says Mattes.

It’s too soon to say how this policy will be enforced by Hertz, but in the past, that is exactly how other car rental companies have interpreted their fuel rules: If you can’t show a receipt, pay up. And in many of those cases, the charges were for far more than $13.99.

When Michael Gates, a health care worker from Riverside, Ill., returned his Budget rental to the airport in Portland, Maine, recently, he says he filled the tank, as he’s always done over 45 years of renting cars. A representative noted the mileage and fuel tank level. But later, he discovered a $49 “fuel service” charge on his credit card bill. He asked the company to remove the fee.

“I was told I had to prove that I had filled the tank by submitting a receipt,” says Gates. He protested, and Budget eventually removed the charge.

That may be the takeaway from new policies adopted, both officially and unofficially, by the car rental industry. There’s always something new right around the corner when it comes to fuel charges.

At what altitude are planes safe from birds?

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTOS

John Cox

Special for USA TODAY

Q: We know that birds are a true threat to jet engines. At what altitude are aircraft safe from birds in flight?

— Submitted by reader Jay Alan, Indiana A: Above 10,000 feet, there are only a few birds. However, bird strikes have occurred at 30,000 feet and higher. The vast majority of strikes occur below 3,000 feet above the ground.

Q: Are turboprop aircraft less susceptible to engine damage caused by striking large birds?

— Bruce, Carlsbad, Calif.

A: Turboprops are somewhat less susceptible to bird-strike damage, as they have the propeller to deflect the birds from entering the engine inlet.

Q: Why not have sliding covers on the engines that can be deployed when birds are a danger?

— Roger Rordrigues, Burr Ridge, Ill. A: The airflow distortion would be a significant concern, as well as weight and complexity. Jets require very carefully controlled airflow. Anything that would alter this flow could adversely affect control.

Q: I live relatively close to Newark and have noticed that

most of the landing lights are steadily on, while a few have them alternating. Is there any reason for that? And why are there lights that illuminate the engine during takeoff and landing?

— Ted, New Jersey A: The pulsing lights are an attempt to reduce bird strikes.

There is some evidence that pulsing lights are more obvious to birds than steady ones.

A few operators have installed pulsing lights, but most have retained the steady ones.

Although bird strikes have happened at 30,000 feet or higher, the vast majority occur below 3,000 feet above the ground.

The wing lights you refer to as illuminating the engines are anti-icing lights.

These lights allow the pilots to see the wings and detect any ice that may have accumulated in bad weather, thus requiring the activation of the wing anti/ de-icing system.

Not-so-new book laid groundwork that hatched Mockingbird

GO SET A WATCHMAN Harper Lee Harper

eeEE 278 pp.

The photo of a youthful Harper Lee on the Go Set a Watchman jacket is revealing: It was taken in the 1950s, when she wrote this “new” novel, only the second ever published by the now 89-year-old author of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Context is everyBOOK thing, and so it’s imREVIEW portant to know that JOCELYN Watchman was a first MCCLURG effort, set aside after Lee’s editor urged her to turn instead to Scout Finch’s Alabama childhood. An American masterpiece was born, one that has taught racial tolerance to generations, all while telling a whopping good story and giving the world Boo Radley.

So perhaps we should judge Go Set a Watchman gently. Is it a great or even very good novel?

No. Does it have its charms? Definitely. It’s also a time capsule of a troubled time in the South, as desegregation looms in the wake of Supreme Court rulings.

Unlike Mockingbird, Watchman contains passages of deeply disturbing, overt racial slurs.

These are not gratuitous, but they are still hard to read.

Watchman opens with Jean Louise (Scout’s real name) returning home to visit Maycomb.

She’s now 26 and a liberal New Yorker, by Southern standards.

Meeting her at the train station is Henry Clinton, described as a “lifelong friend.” (He didn’t make the cut in Mockingbird, no big loss.)

Henry, a World War II vet, pops the question 10 pages in, but Jean Louise, as independent and rebellious as ever, doesn’t think she’s in love.

Her father Atticus Finch is now 72, and corseted Aunt Alexandra is still on the scene and judging everybody.

The meandering early chapters of Watchman are appealing and often funny, going down as easy as a glass of cool lemonade, even if we miss Scout’s irresistible first-person narration. (Watchman is written in the third person.)

Then Jean Louise makes a shocking discovery that turns her world and the book on its head: she finds a pamphlet on Atticus’ table called The Black Plague.

Soon after, she sneaks into a Maycomb County Citizens’ Council meeting, where a man named Grady O’Hanlon spews appalling anti-black vitriol. Henry and Atti-

cus, council members, listen passively.

Jean Louise is made physically ill by what she hears. Is Atticus Finch, the noble hero of To Kill a Mockingbird, a racist?

Watchman (which goes on sale Tuesday) is the story of a young adult wrestling with hard truths about her family and her hometown, but it’s troubling to see the great, saintly Atticus diminished.

If you think of Watchman as a young writer’s laboratory, however, it provides valuable insight into the generous, complex mind of one of America’s most important authors.

As a novel, Watchman lacks Mockingbird’s riveting courtroom drama, its page-turning pacing and its genius structure. Still, there are pleasures to be had, as we live through Scout’s humorous adolescent misadventures (one involves falsies) in flashbacks.

The problematic Go Set a Watchman will be of tremendous fascination to future biographers, if ultimately a footnote to literary history.

There will be great debate, now and for years to come, if the book should have been published. And many will say “No.” Now you can decide.

Yellow ‘Minions’ are box-office gold ‘Jurassic World’ continues to eat up the competition

Brian Truitt

@briantruitt USA TODAY

The yellow henchmen of Despicable Me are now Hollywood box-office superheroes in their own right.

Minions had a monstrous debut of $115.2 million this weekend, according to estimates from Rentrak, and the animated spinoff continued to cement the cute little gibberish-spouting characters as a pop-culture force.

“They’re bigger than SpongeBob (SquarePants),” says Jeff Bock, senior box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. “They just have that mass appeal right now.”

Minions’ opening is the second-biggest of all time for an animated film — Shrek the Third holds the record with $121.6 million in 2007 — and the movie’s Friday haul of $46.2 million is the best single day ever for a cartoon

The new prequel is just giving audiences what they crave, says Rentrak media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “More Minions equals more millions.”

Adds Bock: “We might see

more Minions films than Fast and Furious films when all’s said and done.”

Kids are a major force behind the movie’s success: In a Rentrak exit survey, a whopping 77% of youngsters said they would definitely recommend Minions and 65% of the audience was under

age 25. It’s skewing toward girls, too, as females accounted for 56% of Minions moviegoers.

Dinosaur-laden Jurassic World is still stomping all over its competition. The blockbuster made $18.1 million in its fifth weekend, good enough for No. 2, and continues to march toward $600 million total in North America.

Inside Out, which takes place inside a tween’s head, is third with $17.1 million. Its $283.7 million box office ranks fourthhighest among Disney/Pixar animated movies.

Rounding out the top five were Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator Genisys, which made $13.7 million in its second weekend, and low-budget horror film The Gallows with a $10 million debut.

Ryan Reynolds’ immortality movie Self/less was less than eternal with $5.4 million in its debut, ranking eighth overall.

Final figures are expected Monday.

Selden had 22 points in the victory, which sent Team USA into this morning’s gold-medal match against Germany.

Motivated U.S. makes title game

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — Motivated by early exits from the NCAA Tournament for the past two seasons, Kansas University junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. wants to lead the Jayhawks to the next level.

He’s getting an early start this summer.

Selden lifted the United States’ men’s basketball team to the World University Games’ gold-medal game, drilling a go-ahead threepointer with 6:25 remaining in an eventual 78-68 victory over Russia on Sunday at Dongkang College Gymnasium.

It’s the first time the U.S.

Gwangju, South Korea — Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis opened Sunday’s 78-68 victory over Russia in the World University Games semifinals with a dunk on the first possession, breaking past the defense in transition.

Then Ellis missed his next six shots from the field at Dongkang College Gymnasium. He struggled against Russia’s size and had trouble holding position inside the paint. But his teammates told him to keep attacking.

Ellis followed it up with a game-high 23 points on 8-of21 shooting.

“They had a lot of length,” Ellis said of Russia’s post players. “I just kept attacking and kept going at them.”

Ellis scored nine points in the second quarter, drilling a three-pointer, two jumpers, plus a layup-andthe-foul bucket. He led the Jayhawks with 14 points at halftime.

“He was aggressive,” Kansas coach Bill Self said.

“It’s not easy to score over 7-(foot)-3, and he tried. He took him away from the basket. Didn’t make shots early, and he made a bonehead turnover there late, but I’m telling you what, he played very, very well.”

Royals blow 7-run lead, then win Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Paulo Orlando came through again for the Kansas City Royals.

Orlando, who had a walkoff grand slam Tuesday against Tampa Bay, hit a tie-breaking eighth inning home run as the Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-10 Sunday after blowing a seven-run advantage.

Orlando led off the eighth with a home run off Bo Schultz (0-1).

“It was a fastball in,” Orlando said. “I fouled off the first pitch, which was a fastball, too. He threw me two cutters and I waited for the fastball and I put a good swing there.”

Gullane, Scotland — Rickie Fowler birdied three of his last four holes to overhaul fellow American Matt Kuchar and win the Scottish Open by one shot Sunday for his second victory of the year.

Kuchar was on the practice range, preparing for a playoff, when Fowler sent his approach on No. 18 to within 18 inches. He tapped in the putt for a 2-under 68 — the same score as Kuchar — and an overall 12-under 268.

Raphael Jacquelin of France birdied the last hole for 70 to tie for second place with Kuchar and claim one of three British Open places on offer.

Spieth edges Gillis Silvis, Ill. — Jordan Spieth beat Tom Gillis on the second hole of a playoff to win the John Deere Classic on Sunday for his fourth victory of the season.

The 46-year-old Gillis, who was attempting to become the oldest first-time winner on the PGA Tour in 20 years, sent an approach into the water. Spieth made par for his second win at TPC Deere Run in three years.

Now Spieth heads to the British Open in search of his third consecutive major championship. He is the first golfer to win four times before the Open Championship since Tiger Woods in 2000.

Smith nabs Encompass Glenview, Ill. — Jerry Smith shot a 2-under 70 on Sunday to win the Encompass Championship for his first title on the Champions Tour.

Smith finished at 16-under 200 at North Shore Country Club, setting a tournament record.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Lancaster, Pa. — In Gee Chun’s modest goal for her first U.S. Women’s Open was to enjoy every new experience.

Boy, did she enjoy herself.

The 20-year-old South Korean stormed from behind, posting birdies on four of the last seven holes to rally for an unlikely onestroke victory Sunday.

Chun shot a 4-under 66 in the final round and finished at 8 under, becoming the first player to win her U.S. Open debut since Birdie Kim in 2005.

“Everything I faced and I did here was completely new,” Chun said. “So all I did was enjoy the new stuff ... I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun. Even though I’m Korean, here American fans supported me a lot and they gave a lot of claps. That has put me in the great rhythm of play, and I enjoyed that tournament rhythm.”

A bright smile rarely left Chun’s face, and that was part of the plan.

“Without thinking any negatively, all I could do was just enjoy the game,” she said. “That’s what has brought me to the U.S. Open win, I believe.”

The win was Chun’s fifth of the year after three in Korea and one in Japan.

Third-round leader Amy Yang struggled in the middle of her round and then pulled within one by going eagle-birdie at Nos. 16 and 17. But she bogeyed the 18th and fell a stroke short.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC CELEBRATES AFTER WINNING THE MEN’S SINGLES FINAL against Roger Federer on Sunday at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon.

Djokovic repeats as Wimbledon champion London — For the second year in a row, Novak Djokovic solved Roger Federer’s superb serve in the Wimbledon final.

And for the second year in a row, Djokovic claimed the championship at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament, preventing Federer from earning a record eighth.

The match was as even as possible through two sets, before the No. 1-seeded Djokovic grabbed ahold of it and wouldn’t let go, generating four service breaks that carried him past Federer 7-6 (1), 6-7 (10), 6-4, 6-3 on Sunday for his third title at Wimbledon and ninth Grand Slam trophy overall.

That puts him more than halfway to the record 17 collected by Federer, who has reached two major finals over the past three seasons — both at Wimbledon, both against Djokovic, both losses. They have met 40 times, each winning 20 matches. As always, it presented a fascinating duel: Federer’s serve and attacking style vs. Djokovic’s return and scrambling, body-twisting defense.

“He makes you push your limits, he makes you work hard and earn every single point,” said Djokovic, who equaled his coach Boris Becker’s three Wimbledon titles. “He’s not going to hand you the match.”

Federer was grim-faced as he walked across the Centre Court lawn to receive his runner-up tray.

“You sort of walk away empty-handed. For me, a finalist trophy is not the same,” Federer said. “Everybody knows that.”

At Wimbledon in 2014, Federer held serve in 88 of 89 games through the semifinals, then got broken four times by Djokovic during the five-set final.

This fortnight, Federer held serve in 89 of 90 games entering the final, then again met his match in Djokovic.

Djokovic’s serve was stout, as well: He saved 6 of 7 break points. It helped, too, that Federer was not the same height-of-his-powers player who defeated Andy Murray in the semifinals. Pressured by Djokovic’s ability to extend points, Federer committed 35 unforced errors; Djokovic made only 16.

“Novak played not only great today,” said Federer, who turns 34 on Aug. 8 and was the oldest Wimbledon finalist since 1974, “but the whole two weeks, plus the whole year, plus last year, plus the year before that.”

Federer is right.

He might very well be the greatest of all time, as some say, but right now, the best in the men’s game is Djokovic.

The 28-year-old Serb won the Australian Open in January, then was the runner-up at the French Open last month. Go further back, and Djokovic reached 15 of the past 20 Grand Slam finals, winning eight.

Van Garderen is 12 seconds behind Froome in second place, putting him ahead of Nairo Quintana of Colombia, the 2013 Tour runnerup and the Giro d’Italia winner in 2014, as well as two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador of Spain and defending Tour champion Vincenzo Nibali of Italy.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

No. 2 Tatum picks Duke Jayson Tatum, the No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2016, committed to Duke on Sunday afternoon.

Tatum announced his decision at the Nike Peach Jam AAU tournament in South Carolina, after his team, the St. Louis Eagles, defeated Winston-Salem based Team CP3 All-Stars, 74-73, in a semifinal game. He chose the Blue Devils over his hometown team, St. Louis, and Kentucky and North Carolina.

Typically, top recruits wait until the fall or spring of the senior year to announce their college choices. But after a successful summer, Tatum had made up his mind and wanted to get the weight of the decision off of his shoulders.

“I’m ready to decide,” he said on an ESPNU broadcast. “I’ve been in this process for awhile.

I don’t want to waste anyone’s time when I know in my heart where I want to go.”

Tatum is a 6-foot-8, 190-pound wing player who can handle the ball like a guard — a growth spurt in high school changed his body and his position on the court. He has the length to play and defend multiple positions and can score from all over the floor. It’s his offense, combined with his athleticism, that leaves spectators wowed. High major coaches have been comparing him to a young Kobe Bryant for years.

As for why he chose the Blue Devils, Tatum cited his ability to develop as a player, on and off the court.

“I’m just so happy to be a part of this program with great coaches like this,” he said.

Bourdais takes Indy win

Milwaukee — A late surge at the Milwaukee Mile gave Sebastien Bourdais a milestone win and a confidence boost on an oval track.

And to think, he wasn’t quite sure what to expect from his car after qualifying.

Bourdais pulled away following a late caution in the 250-lap race on Sunday for his second IndyCar victory of the season, turning aside a brief challenge from second-place finisher Helio Castroneves to win by 2.2 seconds.

It was Bourdais’ 34th career victory, tying him with Al Unser Jr. for seventh on the allTOUR DE FRANCE time list.

“I respect the stats because you put yourself Froome stays in yellow on a very special list with very respected and Plumelec, France — Race leader Chris great drivers. But I don’t live for stats.

UNITED STATES 78, RUSSIA 68

TEAM USA COACH BILL SELF AND PLAYERS ON THE BENCH CELEBRATE a late slam dunk by Wayne Selden Jr. in the United States’ 78-68 victory over Russia in a World University Games semifinal on Sunday in Gwangju, South Korea. The victory put the U.S. in today’s gold-medal game against Germany.

the court for an acrobatic, spinning layup. SMU senior guard Nic Moore followed with a long jumper, and KU senior forward Perry Ellis added a layup, helping USA grab a 70-64 lead.

“We’ve just been working,” said Selden, who finished with 22 points (9-of-14 shooting) and six rebounds in 39 minutes.

“Everybody has been in the gym. We’ve been working hard because we feel like we just have something to prove, and we have a lot of unfinished business. We never really touched where we could be at (last season).

We never really got to where we could be at as a team, and we really want to achieve that this year.”

After Russia cut the margin to 70-65 with four minutes left, Selden caught the ball in the left corner, drove past a big man who was running toward him and flushed a one-handed slam to give the Jayhawks a sevenpoint lead.

“How the cookie crumbles, I guess,” a smiling Selden said of his big plays in the fourth quarter throughout the tournament. “It’s just how it happened. My teammates found me when I was open. Landen (Lucas) saw me on the kick-out.

Frank (Mason III) was driving the ball. Perry was driving the ball. We just made it happen.”

But Russia responded with a 13-0 run over the next five minutes when the Jayhawks missed seven shots and turned the ball over five times. Russian guard Nikita Barinov put his team in front with a layup-and-the-foul bucket for a 62-61 advantage.

“I think we just gave up some good looks,” said Mason, who had 10 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and five turnovers in 38 minutes. “Guys didn’t fight through the screens, and they’ve got some good shooters on their team. They knocked the shots down, which led to a run. After that, we just got stops, and that helped us out.”

Then Selden went on a quick 5-0 run, started by his step-back threepointer, and the Jayhawks never trailed again.

“He’s been superior to everybody,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Selden.

“He played to his athletic

Yeah, he played great.”

Mason added: “I have a lot of confidence in Wayne. He’s showed it all tournament. He’s been the best player here so far. Hopefully he can keep that going tomorrow and get the gold.”

Ellis led the Jayhawks with a game-high 23 points, including 14 in the first half. He started 1-of-

7 from the field but finished 8-of-21, adding four rebounds.

Russia trailed by six, 72-66, with just under three minutes remaining, but the Jayhawks forced two misses on defense, and Ellis added a layup inside with 1:08 left for an eight-point lead.

“My teammates and stuff, man,” Ellis said of ability to break out of the slump. “They just tell me to keep attacking, ‘If you miss shots, oh well. Don’t get down. Just keep attacking and keep play-

“I was expecting it,” Lucas added. “He was due for one of those games.

Hopefully he can have another one tomorrow.”

After holding a threepoint lead at halftime, the Jayhawks held Russia to 34 percent shooting in the second half and forced nine turnovers.

“The biggest thing … is that I thought the second half, when we kind of took the lead, we guarded them much better,” Self said. “Their ball movement wasn’t near as good

the second half as it was the first half.”

Germany advanced to the gold medal game with a 58-48 victory over Brazil on Sunday afternoon.

Bogdan Radosavljevic led the undefeated German team with a game-high 11 points and 13 rebounds.

“Since I’ve been here, we’ve done good in the conference but postseason play we haven’t been able to do what we’ve wanted to do,” Selden said. “And that’s what we’re working toward. We’re working to get this gold tomorrow, but this is just a step in our process.”

Germany counting on size, defense

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Gwangju, South Korea — When the final buzzer sounded Sunday, German players and coaches were excited about their 59-49 semifinal victory against Brazil. But they knew they still had work to do.

Germany was to face the United States’s men’s basketball team in the World University Games gold-medal game, after the Jayhawks beat Russia, 78-68, at 9 p.m. Monday (7 a.m. CDT on ESPNU) at Yeomju Gymnasium.

The German players didn’t stay at the arena for USA’s victory, planning to watch back in their rooms at the ath-

letes village and rest up for the tournament final.

“We’ll prepare as best as we can,” Germany coach Henrik Rödl said.

“We’ll try to use the strengths we had all tournament: a good defensive team, a good rebounding team, and we’ll try to take care of the ball a little bit better, then we’ll have a chance to win.”

Germany leads the World University Games with an average of 50.5 rebounds per game and ranks second in points allowed (53.5).

“I think the zone is bothering opponents so far,” Rödl said. “Teams have made some shots, but I think it slows the other team down, makes

them think a little bit. But our guys, they play hard together. And I think we have size. Size when you come into the lane, even when you think you have a good opportunity, we still have big guys in front of you that you have to score over, so that helps a lot.”

Germany has two current Ivy League players: senior forward Hans Brase at Princeton and senior guard Maodo Lo at Columbia. Brase, who finished with 10 points and four rebounds Sunday, led Princeton with an average of 7.5 rebounds per game last year and averaged 11.5 points. Lo was Columbia’s leading scorer last season at 18.4 points per game.

Rödl played at the Uni-

versity of North Carolina under Dean Smith, winning a national title in 1993, which included a Final Four victory over Kansas. He was the third German to win a national title in NCAA history.

“I remember him,” Kansas coach Bill Self said of Rödl. “He was a good player. About 6-(foot)-8?

That’ll be good. At least I have somebody I can talk to before the game.”

A few of the USA coaches attended Germany’s game against Brazil, which was three hours earlier than the Jayhawks’ game against Russia.

“Our staff has only seen them once, but we’ll watch game tape tonight and in the morning,” Self

said. “We’ll have a decent book on them. We probably had a better book on Lithuania and Russia because they played multiple games at the same site where it’s easier to scout.”

Germany only led by two points against Brazil entering the fourth quarter, but opened the period with a 9-3 run. Germany held Brazil to 28 percent shooting (18-of-64) and forced 19 turnovers. Bogdan Radosavljevic led the undefeated German team with a game-high 11 points and 13 rebounds.

“It was a game with a lot of mistakes,” Rödl said. “In the first half, both teams already had 25 turnovers. It was not pretty. Both teams obvi-

ously nervous and tired, and really tried to get over the hump. In the second half, we had a run that put us over and gave us that little advantage at the end. I thought that the guys had a little bit more energy and made some good plays down the stretch to win the game.”

Does Germany have any extra motivation playing against the Jayhawks?

“Nope, going for gold,” Rödl said. “I don’t think it makes any difference to the guys. (The Jayhawks) look like the best team in the tournament so far. But we’re playing in the finals, so we’ll see who the best team is. It’s the one that wins the last game.”

from a fan standpoint like it is for us. But to these kids over here, it means an awful lot.”

Despite earning a spot in the gold-medal game, the Jayhawks aren’t satisfied.

“We’re all excited, but we don’t just want to play for it,” KU point guard Frank Mason III said. “We want to win it. We’ll go back and look at tape on Germany and try to get better and do some things and hopefully get the win.”

At the World University Games, gold medalists don’t get their national anthem played afterward.

Instead, it’s the FISU anthem “Gaudeamus Igitur,” to promote unity between athletes from different countries. The medals are presented by college students aspiring to be flight attendants.

Russia shot 35 percent from the field and had nine turnovers in the second half.

We couldn’t keep up with them first half with their ball and body movement.

Gold medal pride The Jayhawks moved one step closer to earning a gold medal.

“I’ve never been a part of anything like this,” Self said. “But I would assume any time that, regardless of what event, you represent your country and you get a chance to get a gold medal, it would be a huge deal. What it could be … hopefully, it’ll be a start to a very special year.”

How do wins in the World University Games compare to the season?

“I don’t know if our fans would think this is near as big as an NCAA Tournament game,” Self said.

“But for the kids who have worked hard this summer and for the experience … it’s fun. But it won’t be fun

Self keeps learning With a 24-second shot clock, Self has let the Jayhawks play without many set-plays on offense, which has helped USA’s guards create opportunities off of the dribble.

“We didn’t score on the block,” Self said after his team scored 38 of its 78 points in the paint against Russia. “Landen (Lucas) made two baskets on the block when we threw it over the top. But for the most part, everything was drive it or play to 15-foot jumpers or play to threes.

I’ve never played this way. But I’ve learned a lot in the past month.

“We’ve always played to our bigs, and we still have to. But you know what, the trust in guys to go one-on-one and make plays has probably made us better basketball players individually.”

Langford makes team J-W Staff Reports

Former Kansas University basketball guard Keith Langford has been named one of 12 players to compete for the United States at the Pan American Games, July 21-25 in Toronto.

Baylor’s Taurean Prince and Wichita State’s Ron Baker also made the team, as well as Malcolm Brogdon, Bobby Brown, Ryan Hollins, Shawn Long, Anthony Randolph, Kaleb Tarczewski, Romelo Trimble, Denzel Valentine and Damien Wilkins.

The U.S. team is coached by Mark Few of Gonzaga, with former KU player and current Colorado head coach Tad Boyle and longtime NBA coach Mike Brown serving as assistants.

Langford, who plays for Unics Kazan in Russia, is Kansas’ No. 7 scorer of all time (1,812 points).

He competed for KU in the 2002 and 2003 Final Fours. Langford has also played pro ball in Italy and Israel.

He played in two games for the San Antonio Spurs in 2007-08.

Ellis gives Sporting a lift, 1-0 scored in the 52nd minute, and Sporting Kansas City beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 on Sunday night.

The defender rose to meet a slick Krisztian Nemeth cross and powered a header past Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted for his second of the season.

The Whitecaps had a chance to take sole possession of top spot in the Western Conference with a single point, but instead lost at home in Major League Soccer for the fourth time in nine games.

Kansas City (8-3-6), which is in its first season

in the West, improved to 6-1-3 over its last 10 matches in MLS and is now just two points back of the Whitecaps with three games in hand.

The Whitecaps (10-82) were playing in front of their fans for the first time since the end of May after a five-game, sixweek road trip while B.C. Place Stadium was occupied by the Women’s World Cup. Sunday also marked the beginning of a busy summer stretch of 11 matches over the next seven weeks for Vancouver as the club competes in MLS, the Amway Canadian Championship final and the CONCACAF Champions League group stage.

The Lawrence Raiders settled for their second tie of the season after playing to a 3-3 youth baseball draw with the BTL Lancers on Sunday at Hoglund Ballpark.

Tripp Wright drove in two of the Raiders’ three runs. Brad Kincaid and Zak McAlister recorded the Raiders’ other two hits with a double apiece.

Kincaid also made the start on the mound, allowing two runs – one earned – over 32⁄3 innings. Nate Hulse went the rest of the way, giving up a run in 21⁄3 before the game ended because of a time limit.

Kendrys Morales homered in a six-run first.

Morales crushed a Felix Doubront fastball over the center field fence with Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas aboard.

That gives him 61 RBIs, second in the American League.

Doubront made it through five innings after the rocky start, although he gave up 10 hits and seven runs, two unearned.

Vancouver came close to tying it in the 61st when Cristian Techera blasted a shot that Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia blocked with his body.

The ball rebounded off Sporting defender Matt Besler and was headed toward the goal, but Amadou Dia cleared the ball away.

Ousted then got a piece of Peterson’s scuffed shot in the 70th minute, before Techera stung Melia’s fingers on a free kick in the 76th.
