Manhattan — Kansas Republicans will hold their 2016 presidential caucuses on March 5, four days after the Super Tuesday primaries, state party officials decided Saturday.

The GOP state committee held its annual midyear convention Saturday in Manhattan, mainly for the purpose of adopting rules for the caucuses.

But there was also plenty of talk about state legislative LEGISLATURE races next year, when both the House and Senate will be up for election.

And there were rumors aplenty about who may or may not run for governor in 2018.

access requirements. The bill, pending in the state Assembly after clearing the Senate, has been assailed by some disability-rights activists who say it will discourage business owners from making changes proactively.

Among those who have prevailed in court is Aaron Cannon, now 35, who filed suit in 2005 against a leading chiropractic college, alleging that it was unwilling to accommodate him as a blind student.

Last year, after nearly a decade of litigation, the Iowa Supreme Court ordered Palmer College of Chiropractic to make accommodations to allow blind students to complete degrees. The justices rejected the college’s contention that eyesight is a requirement for the profession, which involves adjusting patients’ spines to treat back pain.

Now a software engineer in Wisconsin, with a wife and four children, Cannon no longer expects to become a chiropractor, but he remains grateful for the support he received from the National Federation for the Blind and his blind lawyer, Scott LaBarre of Denver.

“There have been some stories about how lawyers go looking for lawsuits to file under the ADA,” Cannon said. “Nobody is more angered by that than we the disabled who depend on this law.” l l l

A quarter-century after the law’s passage, joblessness among disabled Americans remains far higher than for other adults. Just 17.1 percent of people with a disability were employed in 2014, compared to 64.6 percent of those without a disability, according to the latest federal figures.

“As much as the ADA has helped, when you look at employment — that’s one area where the needle hasn’t moved,” said Helena Berger, acting president of

L awrence J ournal -W orld

the American Association of People with Disabilities.

The ADA stipulates that disabled job applicants should be considered on an equal basis with other applicants, but it has provided little deterrent if an employer opts not to hire a disabled person. While there have been many successful lawsuits by disabled people saying they were fired or demoted unfairly, it’s been far harder for them to win lawsuits asserting they should have been hired in the first place.

Indeed, there has been debate in academic circles as to whether the ADA may have had a negative effect, swaying some employers into not hiring disabled people for fear of ADArelated legal complications down the road.

Some experts, including Cornell University economist Richard Burkhauser, argue that the U.S. disability system is at fault. He recommends that existing benefits programs be revised to provide more incentive for people with disabilities to find employment, rather than to subsist on disability payments.

Chai Feldblum, a disability-rights lawyer who serves on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, said the ADA is “necessary but not sufficient” in regard to reducing unemployment. She believes progress will be made under another federal law, the Rehabilitation Act, as it applies affirmativeaction targets to federal contractors so they will strive to have people with disabilities filling at least 7 percent of their jobs.

The EEOC enforces ADA provisions dealing with employment. Charges alleging disability discrimination comprised more than 28 percent of its caseload in 2014, higher than any other category.

In recent years, the EEOC has been receiving about 25,000 ADA-related charges annually, with com-

plainants alleging they’d been harassed, fired unfairly or denied accommodations that would enhance their performance. A majority of the charges are dismissed — but some cases result in monetary settlements, including some $95 million in the 2014 fiscal year alone.

The EEOC cases encompass dozens of categories of disability, ranging from alcoholism and dwarfism to tuberculosis and speech impairment. Among the disabilities figuring in large numbers of cases are depression, anxiety disorder and chronic back problems.

There are ongoing efforts to encourage more activism among people with so-called “non-visible disabilities” — conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes, epilepsy, dyslexia and attention deficit disorder that are covered by ADA protections.

Feldblum, who helped draft the ADA as a young lawyer, said she has lived with anxiety disorder. The types of discrimination faced by people with such conditions can be subtle, “but it’s just as dangerous in

terms of not being able to keep a job,” she said.

There’s another piece of unfinished business for the movement in general and for Bob Dole in particular.

It’s to get congressional ratification of a treaty promoting equal rights for disabled people around the world. It has been ratified by more than 130 other countries.

In December 2012, Dole, in a wheelchair and looking frail, sat in the Senate chamber to show his support for the treaty. But his presence failed to dent opposition by fellow Republicans, and the treaty fell five votes short of ratification.

Opponents said the treaty could undermine U.S. sovereignty and possibly lead to the government, rather than parents, determining the best interests of disabled children on issues such as home schooling.

The Senate vote was “personally disappointing,” Dole said. “Here we are the leader in disability progress, and we can’t get it done.”

Still, he’s ready to help out again in a new push for ratification.

KBA demise Years of partisan politics and failing support from the governor and state legislators may soon kill the once-promising Kansas Bioscience Authority.

I

t’s sad to see an agency that started with such promise and delivered such benefits for Kansas now facing almost certain death.

Hamstrung by repeated reductions in state funding, the Kansas Bioscience Authority has stopped making new investments and decided last week to lay off seven of its 13 full-time staff members. Recent lack of support from the governor and Legislature has created uncertainty about the KBA’s future and hampered the agency’s ability to pursue its mission, according to KBA President and CEO Duane Cantrell. The KBA is allowed to receive up to $35 million a year in state funding but received less than $29 million from 2012 to 2015. Gov. Sam Brownback swept $22 million from the KBA to help fill last year’s budget hole, and legislation was introduced last year that would have abolished the agency and assigned the Department of Commerce to close out the KBA’s remaining obligations.

Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, is a member of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, which held a hearing on that bill and said this week that KBA’s decision to scale back its operations is a step toward its final demise. She predicted that legislators would revive and pass next year the legislation abolishing the agency.

It’s a sad situation for an agency that had such a positive impact on the state.

The KBA was formed in 2004 and had early success in attracting new companies to Kansas and expanding various Kansas ventures in the fields of agribusiness, animal health, human health and life sciences. Among its many ventures, the Authority provided key support for the successful effort to attract the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to Manhattan and the Kansas University Medical Center’s successful drive to achieve National Cancer Center status. Every elected official in the state wants to claim part of the credit for those two major accomplishments, but apparently they are unwilling to provide key support for one of the major players, the KBA. A few years ago, the KBA got caught up in a scandal involving mishandling of funds by its then-CEO Tom Thornton. The incident opened the door to new criticism of the KBA’s fiscal responsibility and provided an excuse for state officials who wanted to use funds that would have gone to the agency for other purposes.

KBA leaders tried to recover the agency’s momentum, but years of slack funding had taken a toll. Legislators now face a choice of whether to restore enough funding to allow the KBA to pursue its intended mission or simply let the agency die. As Sen. Kelly said, the latter course seems more likely.

At the time the KBA was founded, it was seen as an innovative model that other states sought to emulate. In the years that followed, the Authority helped Kansas make significant progress in promoting bioscience efforts in the state. The fact that political agendas and the state’s current financial situation may combine to kill that innovative effort is a disappointing development that doesn’t bode well for the future of the state.

Some Israelis support deal with Iran Israeli officials are orchestrating a campaign to have Congress scuttle the Iran nuclear deal by voting it down and overriding a promised presidential veto.

Republican presidential hopefuls have jumped on the bandwagon, denouncing the deal as if it heralded the end of the world.

There are indeed very serious concerns about the details, which the administration must try to allay. And Israel, whose right to exist is challenged by Iran, has every right to be concerned.

But before Capitol Hill sinks into hysteria, legislators need to know that many former Israeli intelligence and national security offi-

If Congress votes down the deal and overrides a veto, he believes Israel will be the loser. This is true even though the deal has serious flaws.”

cials oppose their government’s approach — and think a congressional veto would be a disaster. “This is the best option we have, even if it is risky, even if it is a bad deal,” says Ami Ayalon, a former head of the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence service.

Choice of bad options Ayalon contends that an imperfect deal is better than the alternatives. “We have to choose between bad options,” he told me during a phone interview from Israel.

“We are not living in a perfect Middle East.”

He is correct.

Although Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu contends that Iran’s program should be completely dismantled, this was never an option. Iran has had the technological know-how to build a bomb for years and, at this point, was clearly unwilling to halt its suspect nuclear energy program.

The kind of limits on that program that might have been possible a decade ago are impossible now.

Before the Iran talks began, the ayatollahs were edging up to bomb-making capacity. “There is no debating that Iran was two to three months from having enough (fissile) material to make a bomb,” Ayalon points out. “The deal pushes Iran back for the next 10 to 15 years from when they will have that material.”

Will the deal work? “Ask me in 10 to 15 years,” he suggests ruefully, but adds, “We should give it a chance.

What were our options?”

There were only three choices: a military strike, more sanctions, or a deal.

If Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear sites, Ayalon points out, “We could destroy some of Iran’s infrastructure and installations and set the program back two to three years, not 10 to 15. If America would attack, with its greater capacity, it could set them back four to five years.

“If — and this is a big if — the agreement will achieve what we want, we get 10 to 15 years,” he says.

More sanctions?

The same point was made in slightly different terms by the former director of the Mossad, Israel’s overseas intelligence agency, Efraim Halevy, who wrote in a recent column: “In the Middle East, a decade is eternity.”

Of course, some in Congress argue that additional

sanctions would have forced the ayatollahs to bend. I’ve yet to talk to an Iran expert, including Ayalon, who believes this.

The ex-Shin Bet chief does believe that Netanyahu’s tough Iran policy — which he formerly supported — was key in convincing the international community to impose tough sanctions on Tehran, and that those sanctions brought Iran to the table. But once negotiations began, he says, Netanyahu should have “changed positions. Instead of attacking the negotiations, we should have tried to be as close as possible to the coalition” so as to share intelligence, provide information on Iranian violations and game out what to do in case Iran cheats.

If Congress votes down the deal and overrides a veto, he believes Israel will be the loser. This is true even though the deal has serious flaws. “This would be the worst scenario,” Ayalon contends, because he doesn’t believe China, Russia, or even Europe would be willing to go back to the status quo ante.

The entire deal would collapse, negotiations would end, and the international sanctions regime would crumble. Iran would be free to restart its production of fissile material (which was halted under an interim accord) and build advanced centrifuges. “We would be creating a chaotic scenario,” says Ayalon, “instead of dis-

cussing what would happen if Iran violates the deal.”

Far better, says the former intel chief, for Israel to work closely with Washington to try to make the deal work and offset its flaws, notably the convoluted process of verifying Tehran’s compliance.

U.S.-Israeli cooperation Other Israeli security experts tell me this would require the closest U.S.-Israeli intelligence cooperation and a firm U.S. commitment to respond to evidence of Iranian cheating — even if this puts Washington at odds with its European allies. It would also require the administration to spell out how (or if) it intends to counter Iranian troublemaking in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen.

Ayalon’s bottom line: It makes more sense for Israel to work to strengthen the implementation of this deal than to try to destroy the best of its bad options.

Ex-Mossad chief Halevy agrees. “A moment before we storm Capitol Hill,” he wrote, “led by the Israeli ambassador to Washington, it’s important to hold a profound debate in Israel on whether no agreement is preferable to an agreement which includes components that are crucial for Israel’s security.”

Israel’s backers in Congress should take these words to heart.

‘Principle’ must be evenly applied Here’s the thing about principle.

Unless applied equally, it is not really principle at all. He who climbs on his moral high horse when a wrong is done to him or his, but leaves the horse stabled when an identical wrong is done to someone else, acts from self-interest and that is the opposite of principle.

All of which renders rather hollow the GOP’s recent chastisement of its problem child, Donald Trump, over an insult to Sen. John McCain. As you’ve no doubt heard, Trump, speaking at a conference of Christian conservatives, took issue with a suggestion that McCain, a Vietnam-era Navy flier shot down by the North Vietnamese, is a war hero.

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump shot back. Then, perhaps hearing what he had just blurted, Trump turned smarmy and facetious. “He’s a war hero because he was captured,” he said, in the same tone you might use to say someone is a poet because he scribbled a limerick on a bathroom wall. “I like people that weren’t captured, OK? I hate to tell you.

He’s a war hero because he was captured, OK? And I believe — perhaps he’s a war hero.”

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

This much is surely right: It is a sin to mock the honorable service of those who have gone into harm’s way on their country’s behalf, particularly if, like Trump, you’ve never served a day in your life.”

McCain, should it need saying, is a war hero, period, full stop. If that term doesn’t fit a man who survived five brutal years in enemy hands — and refused an offer of release as the son of an American admiral because it did not include his fellow captives — then it doesn’t fit anyone.

So Trump deserves every bit of scorn his party has heaped upon him. He deserved to have Jeb Bush call his remark “slanderous” and Rick Perry to call it “offensive.” He deserved Rick

Santorum’s tweet that “McCain is an American hero,” and the Republican National Committee’s statement that “there is no place in our party or our country” for such remarks. In a word, he deserved condemnation.

But the people who slandered John Kerry deserved it, too. The secretary of state is also a war hero, period, full stop. If that term doesn’t fit a wounded man who braved enemy fire to fish another man out of a river, then it doesn’t fit anyone.

Yet in 2004 when then-Sen. Kerry ran for president and a shadowy Republican-allied group mocked that heroism and baselessly called Kerry a liar, the GOP had a different response.

Jeb Bush wrote a letter praising those who questioned Kerry’s heroism.

Perry declined to condemn them. “I think that there’s a lot of questions,” he said. Santorum said Kerry “brought this upon himself” by emphasizing his military service. And Republicans went to their convention sporting small purple bandages in mockery of Kerry’s Purple Heart.

That behavior was what Trump’s comment is: shameful. It is to their discredit that so many Republicans failed to

condemn it as such. Interestingly enough, at least one did.

His name was John McCain.

Perhaps he understood that principle is not politics.

And that what is right does not change from red state to blue.

This much is surely right: It is a sin to mock the honorable service of those who have gone into harm’s way on their country’s behalf, particularly if, like Trump, you’ve never served a day in your life. We’ve seen a lot of this in recent years: It happened to former Democratic Sen. Max Cleland, who left three limbs in Vietnam, happened to the late Democratic Rep. John Murtha who spent 37 years in the Marines, happened to Kerry and has happened more than once to McCain.

Principle — a decent respect for the sacrifices of military men and women for this country — demands that patriotic Americans condemn this, no matter who it happens to. But if, somehow, your condemnation depends on whether the insulted person is of your political party, please understand that there is a word for what motivates you, and “principle” is not it.

“Hypocrisy” is.

GOP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We are not playing defense. We’re playing offense. We’re going after Democrats in their territory,” party chairman Kelly Arnold told more than 150 state committee members who gathered in Manhattan.

Looking forward to state races Kansas Republicans have enjoyed of three consecutive “clean-sweep” elections in which they won every statewide offices, all U.S. House and Senate races, and gained seats in the Kansas Legislature. But some party officials said they’re now concerned GOP voters may not be as motivated next year as they have been in the past.

“What a lot of county chairs are seeing is that we’ve succeeded overwhelmingly in getting our agenda through since the 2010 election — people just aren’t quite as fired up as they were to storm the gates and take the state back,” GOP executive director Clayton Barker said.

In 2010, Republican Sam Brownback won the governor’s race, ending the Democrats’ eight-year hold on that office. And former state Rep. Kevin Yoder won an open race for the 3rd District congressional seat, replacing Democrat Dennis Moore, who had retired after 12 years in that office.

But less than a year after Brownback’s narrow re-election win last November, Republicans are already talking about who will run in 2018 for the nomination.

“There’s probably a short list of 15 people,” Arnold quipped when asked about the list of potential candidates.

Names that are consistently being rumored as possible candidates include Secretary of State Kris Ko-

bach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Senate President Susan Wagle, of Wichita, as well as Yoder and 4th District Congressman Mike Pompeo.

But none of those people attended Saturday’s convention. In fact, there were no statewide elected officeholders or members of the state’s congressional delegation present.

Two of the most notable Republicans attending were Robba Moran, wife of U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, who is up for re-election next year, and former Congressman Todd Tiahrt, of Wichita, who said he will not run again for another office.

Caucus strategy Kansas lawmakers this year repealed a statute that had required both parties to hold primaries in presidential election years. But that statute was routinely waived, usually to save the cost of holding a primary.

The last presidential primary that was actually held in Kansas was in 1992, when Republicans endorsed then-President George H.W. Bush for reelection and Democrats voted to nominate Bill Clinton.

Currently, there are 16 declared candidates seeking the GOP nomination, but party officials think that field will be winnowed down considerably before the Kansas caucuses.

“Surely there won’t be 16 candidates,” said Kathleen Ammel, who chairs the Douglas County Republican Party. “Some will drop out, depending on how the debates go, before March rolls around.”

Ammel said Douglas County Republicans appear to be focused on some of the same candidates who are drawing national attention.

“Of course (Donald) Trump brings a lot of attention,” she said. “You hear a lot about Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, (Ben) Carson somewhat. So mostly the ones

L awrence J ournal -W orld that are already the top 10 candidates are the ones being talked about.”

Party officials said they chose the March 5 date, a Saturday, out of hope that it will entice the remaining candidates at that time to campaign in Kansas and, more importantly, to spend money in Kansas to beef up the state party’s coffers.

It also happens to be the same date that Kansas Democrats will hold their caucuses.

“In the last two caucuses we have had, we’ve had a number of candidates come to Kansas on that Thursday and Friday to be able to meet with meet with our Republicans, have events and share their message in Kansas,” Arnold said. “We’re no longer a fly-over state. And in the past, we’ve been a fly-over state.”

In adopting new rules for the presidential caucuses, the state party made a few changes in the rules from past practice, which they hope will make Kansas even more attractive to candidates.

Most importantly, Arnold said, the new rules allow for allocating the state’s delegates to the national convention proportionately and providing that a candidate only needs to get 10 percent of the vote in order to earn at least one delegate. In the last presidential race, candidates needed at least 20 percent.

“They’ll know, even if they’ve been placing third or fourth in some of these caucuses or primaries, they can come to Kansas and still pick up delegates,” Arnold said.

But Kansas is still far from a critical battleground for GOP candidates.

Kansas Republicans will send 40 delegates to the GOP national convention in Cleveland, Ohio. It will take 1,144 delegates to win the party’s nomination.

Manhattan — Kansas Republicans will hold their 2016 presidential caucuses on March 5, four days after the Super Tuesday primaries, state party officials decided Saturday.

The GOP state committee held its annual midyear convention Saturday in Manhattan, mainly for the purpose of adopting rules for the caucuses.

But there was also plenty of talk about state legislative LEGISLATURE races next year, when both the House and Senate will be up for election.

And there were rumors aplenty about who may or may not run for governor in 2018.

5 MASS KILLINGS, 23 DEAD, 10 DAYS July’s homicides just latest cluster of violent incidents Jodi Upton USA TODAY

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

uPhotos, stories as Johnson, Martinez, Smoltz enter HOF uReview, analysis, photos as ‘I Am Cait’ premieres on E!

In the past 10 days, five mass killings have left 23 people dead in the U.S., making this one of the deadliest stretches of homicides that include at least four victims in several years.

Two people were killed in Thursday’s shooting at a packed theater in Lafayette, La., in addition to the gunman, making it fall just below the level of a mass killing as defined by the FBI. But five

other incidents since July 15, including shootings at two military centers in Chattanooga, Tenn., and three separate family killings — in Chicago; Modesto, Calif.; and Broken Arrow, Okla. — underscore how such incidents can cluster.

For example, in a 34-day period starting March 5, 2009, a string of 12 incidents across the country left 70 people dead. Only two of those were “public killings,” which tend to get more coverage than incidents among families or during a robbery,

making the string of violence less obvious.

In that period, the higher-profile killings included eight people who were killed in a nursing home by a man who came in to shoot his wife, and 13 victims killed during a citizenship class in Binghamton, N.Y. In another spate that started in September 2006, 52 people died in 10 incidents over a 36-day period.

Experts say that mass killings can have a “contagion” effect lasting, on average, about 13 days.

That can happen even when the killer is not directly aware of other incidents, as is often the case for the hundreds of mass killings that do not generate days of national coverage, says Sherry Towers, professor of statistics at Arizona State University’s Simon A.

But a string of incidents can also follow high-profile cases, such as the six that followed within two weeks of the April 2013 Boston Marathon bombing — nearly all of which were lowerprofile robberies or occurred within families.

As this economically distressed nation faces even more austerity measures, many citizens are taking their frustration out on hard-nosed Germany.

The hashtag #BoycottGermany has been trending in Greece since Germany took the lead in demanding tough bailout terms that have hiked taxes and slashed pensions. Tourist agencies report vacation cancellations that include many Germans. In Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, a dealership selling German cars was spray-painted with disparaging slogans.

Obama to Africa: Treat gays equally

Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI President Obama called on African nations Saturday to treat gays and lesbians equally, kicking off his first full day in the nation by undertaking a topic that remains highly sensitive on the continent. Kenyan President Kenyatta dismissed the importance of gay rights, calling it a “non-issue” in the nation.

Speaking at a joint news conference after bilateral talks between the two leaders, Obama said he is “unequivocal” on the treatment of gay and lesbian citizens. “The idea that they are going to be treated differently or abused because of who they love is wrong,” Obama said.

Obama also drew a parallel to the treatment of blacks in the USA during the period of segregation and Jim Crow laws, saying he

Scorched earth: U.S. wildfires devour near-record area 18 ferocious blazes still active in 7 states Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Wildfires have burned a phenomenal 5.5 million acres across the U.S. so far this year, an area equal to the size of New Jersey.

This is the second-highest total in at least the past 25 years, according to data from the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.

Only 2011, which saw 5.8 million acres charred as of July 23 of that

year, had more.

On average, at this point in the year, 3.5 million acres would have burned.

As of Thursday afternoon, 18 wildfires were burning in seven states, mostly in the West.

This includes one in California’s wine country that has forced numerous evacuations and is being fought by hundreds of firefighters, CALFIRE, the state’s firefighting agency, reported.

Another one is charring Glacier National Park in Montana.

Summertime heat and ongoing drought conditions have left vegetation starved of moisture throughout the West, making it

more susceptible to catching fire and starting a massive blaze, AccuWeather reports.

Alaska has seen the worst of the fires: A large percentage of the acres burned — 4.7 million acres, or 85% of the total — have been in Alaska.

“Alaska has had an unusually active year based on low snow packs over the winter, and unusually hot, dry weather in May and June into July,” fire center spokesman Randall Eardley said.

Indeed, Alaska has had a freakishly warm year, the state’s second-warmest ever recorded, the National Centers for Environmental Information reported ear-

lier this month.

In June alone, wildfires charred nearly 2 million acres.

The El Niño climate pattern (warmer-than-average ocean water in the Pacific) is one of the driving factors in the furious wildfire season, especially in Alaska, said Wally Covington, a forest ecologist at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff.

Covington said that there’s been a clear link between manmade climate change and the increase in Western wildfires.

“As air temperatures go up, and the fuels dry out faster, fire behavior increases. It’s a double whammy,” he said.

Clinton campaign, GOP clash over testimony Panel: No agreement she’ll appear on Oct. 22 Deirdre Shesgreen USA TODAY

House Republicans said Saturday that Hillary Clinton’s attorney is trying to bar them from questioning her about her email records, disputing reports the committee reached a deal with the former secretary of State to testify on Benghazi.

It was the latest salvo in a battle between Clinton, a Democratic presidential candidate, and the GOP-led House select committee investigating the 2012 terror attacks in Libya.

A spokesman for the panel, chaired by Rep. Trey Gowdy, RS.C., disputed media reports that the committee had reached an agreement with Clinton for her to testify in October.

“Secretary Clinton’s campaign WASHINGTON

may want to reach out to her lawyer, Mr. David Kendall, with whom the committee has had ongoing conversations,” Jamal Ware said in a statement Saturday. “As of last night, Mr. Kendall was still negotiating conditions for her appearance.”

Ware’s statement came after The Washington Post, citing campaign spokesman Nick Merrill, reported that Clinton had agreed to testify before the panel on Oct. 22. The Clinton campaign did not immediately respond to emails from USA TODAY seeking comment Saturday.

Clinton’s representatives have been negotiating for months with Gowdy over when and under what conditions Clinton would appear before the select committee.

Clinton has long offered to testify at a public session, and she

was initially scheduled to appear in May. But Gowdy delayed that session, saying the committee needed additional documents from the State Department before lawmakers could question Clinton.

Gowdy had also wanted Clinton to testify in private, saying he didn’t want to create a media spectacle.

But Clinton’s representatives refused to participate in a closeddoor session, fearing Republicans would cherry-pick unflattering information to leak to the media afterward.

Ware said in his statement that there was no agreement for an Oct. 22 hearing, in part because Clinton’s attorney wanted to limit questions to the Benghazi attacks.

Republicans also want to question Clinton about her decision to use a private email account to conduct official State Department business.

Greece’s dream of 25M tourists this year fading v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ated a tense atmosphere,” said Vassiliki Adamidou, Lidl Hellas’ communications director. “And we are one of the companies receiving criticism.”

Unhappiness with Germany was fueled by the Greek parliament’s vote to implement the austerity measures immediately.

On Wednesday, lawmakers voted to accept a second package of changes, mostly dealing with banking. New talks between Greece and its global creditors on its third bailout in five years — this one for $94 billion — set for Friday were delayed.

Cancellations by foreign visitors, possibly turned off by strikes and protests, will probably mean Greece will miss its goal of attracting 25 million tourists this year, according to the Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourist Agencies (HATA).

Helping offset the lost tourism is a boost in visitors from the USA

and Britain because the weaker euro means Greece is cheaper against dollars and pounds.

Tourism is Greece’s largest industry, accounting for about 18% of the country’s economic output.

Germany accounts for one in seven tourists, more than any other country, so tourism officials sought to downplay friction between the two nations.

“The problems between Greece and Germany are political, but tourism is something else,” said Lyssandros Tsildis, HATA’s president. “Things are being said about Germans, but there are still warm feelings between the people of the two countries.”

Some are trying to defuse the anger. Adamidou from Lidl Hellas noted that the company is Greek as well as German.

“We have more than 4,500 Greek employees and work with more than 1,500 Greek suppliers,” Adamidou said. “Throughout the crisis, we have been standing with Greek consumers.”

SERVING UP A DISPUTE

LEGAL BATTLES FOLLOW GAY-MARRIAGE RULING sion of Human Rights ruled against the couple.

Richard Wolf USA TODAY

Same-sex marriage is the law of the land, but that doesn’t mean the newlyweds always get their choice of wedding cakes. Or flowers. Or photographs. Or venues.

Just ask Jack Phillips, a “cake artist” who may represent the next legal hurdle for gays and lesbians seeking wedded bliss.

Phillips, 59, owns Masterpiece Cakeshop, a Lakewood, Colo., bakery that won’t design desserts for same-sex weddings. His case was heard this month by the Colorado Court of Appeals. If he loses, he plans to keep appealing — all the way to the Supreme Court.

“I feel that the Bible is clear — what God defines marriage as,” Phillips says. “For me to violate that would be for me to rebel against God, to take what he’s designed and say it doesn’t matter.”

The problem for Phillips is that Colorado, like 21 other states, bars discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. His claim that the First Amendment protects his freedom of expression, based on his religious beliefs, fell short before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission last year.

Phillips, like Washington state florist Barronelle Stutzman, Kentucky printer Blaine Adamson, Illinois bed and breakfast owners Jim and Beth Walder and New York family farm owners Robert and Cynthia Gifford, says his religious objections are paramount.

Last year, the Supreme Court turned down a petition from the owners of a New Mexico photography studio who lost a similar case over their refusal to work at a lesbian couple’s wedding. Several other cases, such as Phillips’, are making their way through state and federal courts.

Gay rights groups predict they will keep winning those lawsuits.

“The courts have very consistently held that this is not a free speech or religious freedom is-

RICHARD WOLF, USA TODAY

Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo., refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple. His legal case could eventually wind up in the U.S. Supreme Court. sue, that it is about discrimination, and that discrimination is a violation of state laws,” says Sarah Warbelow, legal director at the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s leading gay rights group.

A recent poll conducted by the Newseum Institute found that 38% of Americans say businesses providing wedding services should be required to serve same-sex couples despite their religious objections, down from 52% in 2013.

“I think it’s crucial for the court to weigh in,” says Jeremy Tedesco, senior legal counsel at the conservative Alliance Defending Freedom, who argued Phillips’ case in court.

ACTIONS ‘NOT ACCEPTABLE’

James Esseks, who directs gay rights issues for the American Civil Liberties Union, likens Phil-

lips’ effort and those of other commercial businesses to posting a sign on the front door: “No wedding cakes for gay people.”

“That’s the kind of discrimination that we’ve said is not acceptable in America,” Esseks says.

The Supreme Court passed up its first chance to hear a similar case in 2014 — eight years after Elaine Huguenin and her husband, Jonathan, told a lesbian couple that their Albuquerque photo studio worked only “traditional weddings.”

The Huguenins’ petition to the Supreme Court was based on their freedom of speech and expression, which they interpreted as the right to decide what messages their photography conveys.

That’s the same principle cited by others around the country: uThe former owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa in Gresham,

Ore., were ordered this month to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple for emotional suffering after they were refused a wedding cake. uArlene’s Flowers of Richland, Wash., was sued for refusing to create floral arrangements for a gay wedding. The florist lost and has asked the state Supreme Court to hear its appeal. uHands On Originals, a Christian outfitter in Lexington, Ky., was sued for refusing to print T-shirts for a gay pride festival.

The county human rights commission ruled against its owner, Blaine Adamson, but a county court reversed that decision this year. Kentucky has no anti-discrimination law. uLiberty Ridge Farm in Schaghticoke, N.Y., was sued after owners Robert and Cynthia Gifford refused to host a lesbian couple’s wedding. The state Divi-

The Department of Defense has asked those standing guard outside military recruiting centers to stop.

“We take the safety of our service members, our DoD civilians, and the families who support them very seriously, and Secretary of Defense Ash Carter is currently reviewing recommendations from the services for making our installations and facilities safer — including our recruiting stations,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in the statement released late Friday.

“While we greatly appreciate the outpouring of support for our recruiters from the American public, we ask that individuals not stand guard at recruiting offices as it could adversely impact our mission, and potentially create unintended security risks. We continue to partner with and rely on first responders for the safety

of the communities where our service members live and work.”

IN BRIEF PENTAGON: VOLUNTEERS SHOULD STAND DOWN

The Supreme Court’s ruling last month that states cannot deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples has motivated both sides to seek additional protections from state legislatures.

Quena Gonzalez, director of state and local affairs for the conservative Family Research Council, said the ruling “clearly provides an increased sense of urgency to protect conscience protections on marriage, just like we do on other contentious social issues like abortion.”

Twenty-one states have laws protecting religious freedom.

Michigan protected adoption agencies that deny gay couples for religious reasons. North Carolina protected magistrates and others who cite religious beliefs in refusing to marry same-sex couples.

Since the high court’s decision, some state officials have taken steps to protect religious objectors.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback was the first, blocking the state from penalizing religious groups that refuse to perform or recognize same-sex marriages.

On the flip side, gay rights groups vow a major push to win non-discrimination laws in states that do not have them.

But Phillips says, “I feel that the United States Constitution guarantees me my freedom of religion, freedom of speech. It doesn’t say except for when you open your business. ... It’s not just relegated to Sunday morning.”

IRANIAN LEADER TWEETS OBAMA WITH GUN TO HEAD

Iran’s supreme leader tweeted a graphic Saturday that appears to depict President Obama holding a gun to his head as Britain relaxed its travel advice to the nation, citing decreased hostility under the Iranian government.

“US president has said he could knock out Iran’s military.

We welcome no war, nor do we initiate any war, but..” reads the caption above the tweet sent by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on @khamenei_ir, his English language account.

Khamenei’s account has not been verified by Twitter, but is widely believed to be the supreme leader’s based on its content, which often rails against the United States and Israel.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Iowa

BUSH, WALKER SPAR OVER IRAN The Iran nuclear agreement sparked a back-and-forth between two of the leading contenders for the Republican presidential nomination: former Florida governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

While they both were critical of the deal announced by President Obama, they’ve differed over Walker’s pledge that he would end the agreement on his first day in office.

“That sounds great, but maybe you ought to check in with your allies first,” Bush said at a recent town hall.

Walker countered by saying he thought a president “should be prepared to act on the very first day they take office.” Congress is currently reviewing the deal and is likely to vote on it in September.

POLL SHOWS CLINTON DOWN IN THREE KEY STATES Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential front-runner, is trailing some of her potential Republican opponents in Colorado, Iowa and Virginia, according to a Quinnipiac University Swing State Poll out Wednesday.

The former secretary of State is behind in hypothetical matchups with Bush, Walker and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, the poll found.

Clinton “has lost ground in the horse race and on key questions about her honesty and leadership,” according to Peter Brown, the poll’s assistant director.

TRUMP LINKED TO ‘KNOW-NOTHINGS’ Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland governor and Democratic presidential candidate, and Rick Perry, the former Texas governor and GOP candidate, managed to agree on one thing: Donald Trump.

O’Malley and Perry both tied Trump to the “Know-Nothings,” the 19th-century anti-immigrant movement, over his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants.

Perry said Trump was the “modern-day incarnation of the Know-Nothing movement,” while O’Malley earlier this month said Trump “should go back to the 1840s and run for the nomination of the Know Nothing Party.”

Do political parties exist in future?

CRUZ SAYS CAPT. KIRK IS PROBABLY A REPUBLICAN Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who’s seeking the GOP presidential nomination, was asked about a figure who doesn’t often come up on the campaign trail: James T. Kirk, the fictional captain of the USS Enterprise in the 1960s Star Trek TV series. Cruz said Kirk was likely a Republican, while JeanLuc Picard, at the Enterprise helm in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was likely a Democrat.

“The original Star Trek was grittier,” Cruz told The New York Times. “Kirk is working-class; Picard is an aristocrat. Kirk is a passionate fighter for justice; Picard is a cerebral philosopher.”

next 10 years, it would take a full year for Iran to build a nuclear weapon, if it reneges on the agreement. After 10 years, it would take Iran less than a year to produce enough weaponsgrade nuclear fuel for one bomb.

“People are worried about what happens in year 15 or 20.

Well let me tell you, if we walk away, year 15 or 20 starts tomorrow,” Kerry said. He added that further development after that period will be “for a peaceful program.”

SENATE CRITICS SAY: “The president was really clear that in year 13 they’ll have zero breakout (time needed to build a bomb),” said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the committee chairman.

FACTS: Iran has signed onto the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) for decades and the latest deal requires it to maintain a peaceful nuclear program indefinitely. The West has accused Iran of conducting research on nuclear weapons and of cheating on the NPT.

When would sanctions be lifted Q and can they be reimposed if Iran violates the deal?

ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Sanctions will be lifted when Iran abides the accord. If Iran violates the agreement, “we can resume sanctions,” Lew testified.

SENATE CRITICS SAY: “Once the sanctions structure collapses, it will be impossible to replace it,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said at the hearing.

FACTS: While technically feasible, it would be politically impossible for the United States to snap sanctions back against European banks and companies without support from their governments, said Mark Dubowitz, executive director of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a sanctions expert. The United States cannot snap back sanctions if France, Germany or Britain objects, Dubowitz said.

How effective are inspections to Q make sure Iran doesn’t cheat?

ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Robust

inspections will catch Iran if it cheats, even with the 24-day delay allowed before inspecting some sites if Iran protests an inspection demand.

Moniz said environmental sampling would detect radioactive traces, even if Iran tries to clean or remove equipment during the delay.

SENATE CRITICS SAY: “This is like the fox guarding the henhouse,” Corker said.

FACTS: The agreement “does provide a powerful tool to impose consequences if Iran does not allow access” to certain sites, said David Albright, a former weapons inspector and president of the Institute for Science and International Security. “On the other hand, 24 days can be too long, particularly in the case of Iran, which has long experience in hiding its activities.”

While environmental sampling can detect traces of nuclear fuel from a large plant, a smaller facility can be moved overnight and cleaned up sufficiently in two

QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT THE IRAN DEAL Oren Dorell l USA TODAY

Senators grilled three members of President Obama’s Cabinet on Thursday about the international agreement to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for sanctions relief. Secretary of State John Kerry, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Here are four key questions raised about the agreement, the answers given and the facts.

When would Iran be free to develop Q nuclear weapons under the deal?

ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Never.

Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty, and the new agreement requires additional monitoring, which “provides us with guarantees for the lifetime of the NPT that we will know what they’re doing,” Kerry said.

SENATE CRITICS SAY: “What you have done here is codified Iran becoming a (future) nuclear power by abiding to this deal,” Corker said.

FACTS: Foreign nations can collaborate with Iran to develop its peaceful nuclear program, which means helping it develop the technology and infrastructure to produce nuclear fuel on an industrial scale. The same technology can be used to produce fuel for weapons. The accord restricts Iran’s development of advanced machines for developing nuclear fuel for 10 years, but those restrictions fall away after that.

DROUGHT: A GLOBAL ISSUE On four continents, historic droughts wreak record-breaking havoc Doyle Rice | USA TODAY

C California 40 YEARS

MARK RALSTON, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Dried mud and the remnants of a marina at the New Melones Lake reservoir — at less than 20% capacity last May — are emblems of California’s severe drought.

alifornia’s historic drought appears to be matched by severe dry spells on three other continents. Brazil, North Korea and South Africa are bearing the brunt of much lower-than-average precipitation, wreaking havoc on millions of people’s lives and livelihoods.

Although causes vary, the chance of more intense droughts in the future as a result of man-made climate change is only increasing as regional extremes of precipitation — both more and less — remain likely, according to the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Every drought is unique, said Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute, a global water think tank in Oakland. “The same drought in California would have very different impacts in other countries,” he said.

What’s considered a drought in Bali, Indonesia — where six days without rain is unusual — would not be considered a drought in Libya, where annual rainfall is just 7 inches, the National Drought Mitigation Center reported.

In some places, such as the Middle East, drought is a permanent part of life because of chronic lack of water, making desalination and the reuse of wastewater more commonplace, said Charles Iceland of the D.C.-based World Resources Institute. Overall, tracking droughts globally is difficult: No country outside the U.S. has made a comprehensive effort to monitor it.

North Korea 100 YEARS

CALIFORNIA

The Golden State’s water infrastructure system — the most extensive in the world — is being put to the test by its worst drought in 40 years, Gleick said.

California’s drought has brought unprecedented water shortages, increased threats to wildlife and crops, higher electric bills and huge economic losses.

As of Thursday’s U.S. Drought Monitor, 97% of the state is enduring some level of drought.

Each of the state’s 12 reservoirs is at a level far below average, as are streams.

Above-average precipitation during the past 90 days in parts of central and Southern California and the Sierra have not reduced the overall drought conditions in these areas because they are still so abnormally dry, the drought monitor reported.

The state is hoping that a predicted strong El Niño will deliver a blast of rain and snow to the state this winter, but too much too quickly can lead to flooding and mudslides as the water just runs off the rock-hard ground.

“In Brazil, wastewater is just dumped into rivers, which are almost like open sewers.”

Charles Iceland, World Resources Institute

Brazil 50 YEARS

BRAZIL

The South American nation’s worst drought in 50 years is impacting a fifth of Brazil’s 200 million people, including those in the megacities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janiero. Brazil is “really suffering,” Gleick said. “It’s pushing its infrastructure to the limit,” he said.

While Brazil has a decent system of dams and reservoirs, no human-built infrastructure is adequate if the drought is extreme enough, Gleick said. Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city, is now running on emergency reserves of water and has started rationing because of the lack of precipitation, the Global Drought Information System reported.

Water in Brazilian cities and reservoirs is extremely polluted, Iceland said, meaning access to clean water even in rainy times is challenging. The drought makes that situation even worse.

What little water is left in the rivers and reservoirs is “just about unusable in its current state,” Iceland said. “In Brazil, wastewater is not treated and just dumped into rivers, which are almost like open sewers.”

South Africa 20 YEARS

SOUTH AFRICA

In Africa, the worst drought in over 20 years — in some areas since 1992 —continues to intensify in the equatorial region and remains entrenched in South Africa, which is seeing its worst dry spell in two decades, GDIS said. The United Nations said that this year’s food production for much of central and southern Africa is likely to be far lower than last year because of the drought.

South Africa’s government said the eastern province of KwaZuluNatal is in especially bad shape.

Water shortages have reached “crisis levels,” the government said in a statement.

The country has been forced to import corn (maize) this year, rather than export it as it usually does, the U.N. World Food Program reported. “South Africa, the largest producer in the region, accounting for more than 40% of regional maize output — has estimated a maize production fall of 32% below last year’s harvest,” WFP spokeswoman Jane Howard said in an email. “There are concerns that there could be significant food supply shortages in coming months,” she added.

Several dams are at critically low levels, forcing mandatory water cutbacks in some areas.

Water is being supplied to some communities by water trucks.

“The situation ... is a very serious one,” South African official Nomusa Dube-Ncube said.

“There are no signs of rain coming. We are praying.”

NORTH KOREA

The drought in North Korea is extremely difficult to track or verify, because of the lack of accurate information that comes out of the reclusive nation. The country said it is undergoing its worst drought in a century, and the U.N. is warning of mass starvation because many of the areas affected by the dry conditions produce staple food crops.

Deaths of young children increased markedly in the first six months of the year in the drought-affected provinces, the U.N. Children’s Fund reported.

“The situation is urgent,” UNICEF Regional Director Daniel Toole said in a statement earlier this month. “But if we act now — by providing urgently needed expertise and prepositioning supplies — we can save lives.”

The country is also experiencing electric shortages because the drought is reducing hydroelectric generation capacity, the Global Drought Information System reported.

Of all the countries in the world, North Korea is one of the least capable of dealing with drought, Gleick said. “The ability of a region to withstand drought depends on its connections with the rest of the world,” he said.

Dried maize plants grow in a droughtaffected field operated by farmer Ryan Mathews in Lichtenburg, South Africa, in March.

Given the country is the continent’s biggest corn producer, serious food shortages loom on the horizon.

F

ew investors appreciate just how revolutionary the Roth IRA was when it first became available almost two decades ago.

Traditionally, retirement accounts have been a method of deferring taxable income, with contributions to traditional IRAs and 401(k)s not included in current-year income, but with eventual withdrawals in retirement subject to income tax. The Roth IRA’s truly tax-free treatment of retirement savings has appealed to millions of investors, but because of income limits on making contributions, many high-income savers don’t have direct access to Roth IRAs. Starting in 2010, the opportunity to create a backdoor Roth IRA became available even to those who were locked out by income limits. Yet with some lawmakers seeing backdoor Roth IRAs as an abuse of the retirement vehicle, you should consider using the strategy now while it’s still available. Let’s take a closer look at the backdoor Roth IRA, why it’s so valuable, and why some people want to make it disappear.

SNEAKING INTO A ROTH THROUGH THE BACKDOOR

When Roth IRAs first came into existence, high-income individuals found themselves locked out of the new retirement accounts. Even now, single filers with adjusted gross

income above $131,000 aren’t allowed to make Roth IRA contributions, and for joint filers, a limit of $193,000 applies. Moreover, conversions from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs weren’t allowed for those with incomes above $100,000. The combination of those factors created a barrier to high-income savers wanting Roth access.

In 2010, though, lawmakers repealed the income limit on Roth conversions.

That opened the door to Roth IRAs for high-income individuals for the first time, but it came with a hitch: Most of the time, when you convert a traditional IRA to a Roth, you have to pay income tax on the converted amount. Given how high the tax rates are for these upper-income taxpayers, paying Roth conversion tax isn’t a very attractive proposition.

The backdoor Roth IRA gets around this problem by taking advantage of another tactic: the nondeductible regular IRA. Most high-income individuals aren’t eligible to deduct their traditional IRA contributions because of similar income limits, but nondeductible traditional IRAs are available to anyone with earned income. Therefore, the two-step method for the backdoor Roth involves making a nondeductible IRA contribution and then converting that newly created IRA to a Roth.

If your nondeductible IRA is the only traditional IRA you own, then the Roth conversion doesn’t create any tax liability. That’s because the IRS recognizes the fact that you didn’t get a tax deduction for

For many savers, though, the nondeductible IRA isn’t their only traditional IRA. If you have made past IRA contributions and got tax deductions from them, then the IRS requires you to treat the conversion of your nondeductible IRA as if it came pro rata from all your IRA assets. That will subject part of the converted amount to tax.

However, there are a few things you might be able to do to rearrange your finances to use the backdoor Roth IRA strategy. Many employer 401(k) plans allow workers to roll their IRA assets into their 401(k) accounts, and money that’s in a 401(k) avoids the pro-rata tax problem because of its being an employer plan rather than an individual IRA. Similarly, those who are selfemployed can use self-employed 401(k) arrangements and provide for the same asset movement to set up their taxfree backdoor Roth.

Lawmakers might target the backdoor Roth as something that unfairly benefits high-income taxpayers

JAE YANG AND PAUL TRAP, USA TODAY

SETTING UP FOR A BACKDOOR ROTH IRA

backdoor Roth IRAs comes from the fact that policymakers have increasingly seen the strategy as a form of unfair tax avoidance. The Obama administration’s proposed budget for fiscal 2016 included changes that would halt the backdoor Roth IRA by preventing Roth conversions involving funds from nondeductible IRAs or voluntary after-tax contributions to 401(k) plans. The budget proposal hasn’t become law and likely won’t, but in the future, lawmakers might target the backdoor Roth as something that unfairly benefits high-income taxpayers.

For now, though, the backdoor to a Roth IRA remains open, and highincome individuals should look closely at their financial situation to see if they can take advantage of it. Having tax-free retirement money available to you can be extremely valuable, and the backdoor Roth is the best — and often only — way for people subject to income limits to get the benefits of this retirement vehicle.

The Oxford English Dictionary is looking for the first use of the word “email,” and it wants your help.

The dictionary, which began tracking the English language in 1857, is considered the most complete record of current and past usage of the tongue. But email has its editors stumped.

They’ve found a quotation using the form “electronic mail” from 1975, but the first use of “email” they can find is from 1979, in a technical journal.

“Although this doesn’t seem like a very large gap in time, it seems unlikely that the 1979 quo-

tation represents the coinage of email,” the editors said in an appeal for help posted on their blog.

The OED, as it’s called, occasionally issues “OED Appeals” in which editors solicit help in unearthing new information about the history and usage of English.

Last week, they posted about their email conundrum.

“It seems probable that a computer whiz somewhere may have used email first. Perhaps earlier evidence lies in an internal company memo, a software manual, or even in an item of ‘electronic mail’? We’d like your help in finding such an example,” they write.

So far, postings on the appeal page are lively. Reminder: Style rules don’t matter. “E-mail” and “email” references are both valid.

RETIREMENT

START HERE

So how can people go about getting a written strategy?

LeVitre offers these suggestions:

1

Find a financial adviser who will create a plan for you and

update it regularly. LeVitre recommends selecting a Certified Financial Planner (CFP).

Interview several advisers. You should find one who will come up with an overall financial plan before they try to sell you something. It’s best to find one who has at least 10 years of experience. If the adviser has less experience, then he or she should be working with someone more experienced, he says.

2

Ask about how the adviser is paid. Fi-

nancial advisers are paid either by fee, commission or a combination, he says. The advice and investment products you get may depend on how your adviser is compensated.

LeVitre suggests trying to find a no-commission, fee-only adviser using the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (napfa.org). Fee-only advisers may charge you an hourly rate or a project fee, or a percentage of the assets they manage. “Even if you don’t have a lot of money to invest, you may be able to find an adviser who will work with you on an hourly rate to create a financial plan to get you started.”

Most advisers are paid by the commission they receive from products they sell to their clients, he says. “Advisers who work at brokerage firms, insurance companies and banks usually fall into that category.”

You may think you aren’t paying commissions at all, but fees that you never see are tucked into the investment to pay the adviser, he says. There is nothing wrong with working with a commissioned adviser as long as you know exactly how they are getting paid and you are getting an equivalent amount of service, he says.

In the absence of a personalized financial plan, you might think it OK to rely on conventional wisdom when planning for and living in retirement. But you would be wrong, experts say.

In fact, conventional financial wisdom can be dangerous to your wealth. Here are some pearls of wisdom worth reconsidering.

STEPS TO A FINANCIALLY SECURE RETIREMENT Nanci Hellmich | Special for USA TODAY

If certified financial planner Ray LeVitre could give people one piece of advice when it comes to planning for retirement, it would be this: Get a written financial plan.

Everyone needs one — no matter what your income level, savings, investments or age, says LeVitre, author of 20 Retirement Decisions You Need to Make Right Now. A financial plan is key because it drives all the other things in your retirement, he says. It should include not only your investments but any pension money you expect to receive and a plan for when you’re going to take Social Security.

Yet only 14% of workers in the USA Ray LeVitre have a financial strategy for retirement that’s written down, according to a survey from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Another 44% say they have a plan but it’s not written down, and 42% do not have a plan.

The financial services industry likes questionnaires to determine an investor’s risk tolerance.

But these questionnaires don’t always help investors reach their goals.

“It doesn’t matter what (an investor) prefers, but rather what is the minimum investment risk necessary to provide the highest probability of success,” says Jim Christian, a financial adviser in Lakeville, Minn. “ ‘Success’ being defined by not running out of money before running out of years.”

Bottom line: If you invest conservatively because that’s what you prefer instead of how you should invest, you run the risk of going broke or living below your desired standard of living.

YOU’LL BE IN A LOWER TAX BRACKET WHEN YOU RETIRE

You might be. But likely not, says Frank St. Onge, a certified financial planner with Total Financial Planning, in Brighton, Mich. And that’s especially so if you own IRAs. Consider: You have to take required minimum distributions from your IRA once you reach age 70½. And those RMDs can wreak havoc on best-laid retirement plans. “The RMD amount will, for many people, cause an

almost equal amount of Social Security benefits to become taxable,” says St. Onge.

Remember: If you file a joint return, and you and your spouse have a combined income that is between $32,000 and $44,000, you may have to pay income tax on up to 50% of your benefits; and if your combined income is more than $44,000, up to 85% of your benefits may be taxable.

St. Onge’s advice: Consider converting some or all of your IRA to a Roth IRA before you start taking Social Security.

PAY MORE ON YOUR MORTGAGE EACH MONTH TO REDUCE A 30-YEAR MORTGAGE TO A 20-YEAR MORTGAGE

The better thing to do: Save the extra payment amount each month and invest it. “If you did that, the amount of savings would far exceed the value of your mortgage balance at the end of the 20-year period, at

when you purchase mutual funds, annuities and life insurance. “Your adviser could walk away with a big fat check, and you could be locked into paying penalties if you sell the investment in five to 10 years. For example, if you invest $100,000 and your adviser receives a onetime $5,000 upfront commission that you don’t see and is paid nothing thereafter, he/she has no incentive to continue working for you. You may receive poor service in the years to come.”

tions. Am I on track? Am I saving enough to retire one day?

If you already are retired, then you need to think about whether you are managing your money so you don’t run out. “When I do a plan, I throw in a whole bunch of curve balls — higher inflation, lower returns, living a long time, what if someone goes to a nursing home — to figure out if the nest egg can handle that stuff.”

“If you have a financial plan, then you have a goal, and you’re more likely to accomplish it.”

he says.

No load equals no commission.

There are thousands of no-load mutual funds, annuities and life insurance products available.

LeVitre meets with his clients every six months. “We update their financial plan and review their investments.

which time you could elect to pay off the mortgage and still have plenty left over,” says St. Onge.

His advice: Invest the money in a Roth IRA and you will be even further ahead as the growth and distributions would be taxfree. Plus, you’ll still be able to deduct your mortgage interest each year.

USE 529 EDUCATION ACCOUNTS FOR YOUR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION

St. Onge thinks there’s a better option. Use a Roth IRA to fund your retirement and, if needed when your child is ready for college, draw out the contribution amounts to pay the education bills. You can withdraw the amounts you’ve contributed to a Roth IRA tax-free.

Why does this strategy make sense? You can use a 529 plan only to pay for college costs. But that’s not the case with a Roth IRA. “You know you will be retiring in the future; you do not know if you will need education money to pay for schooling in 18 or so years down the road,” St. Onge says.

FULLY FUND YOUR 401(K)

Experts will often tell you to contribute as much as possible, up to the maximum allowed, in your 401(k). But not Don James, a certified public accountant with Kiplinger & Co. in Strongsville, Ohio.

James recommends that workers, and especially Millennials new to the workforce, contribute to their 401(k) as much as needed to receive their full employer’s match and then contribute anything additional into a Roth IRA. One reason why: It gives you account diversification. By having different types of retirement accounts, one from which distributions are taxed as ordinary income (your 401(k) and IRA) and one from which distributions are tax-free (Roth IRA), you’ll have the opportunity to withdraw money in the most tax-efficient manner possible later on.

Make sure the plan has a smart 7 investment strategy.

“I use what I call the bucket strategy. The first bucket is money that you plan on spending during the next one to two years. This should be liquid assets such as a checking account or money market.”

The second bucket is intermediate-term, money you’ll need from the third to ninth year of retirement. This is typically bonds or bond funds.

Bucket three is your long-term money, which won’t be spent for at least 10 years. This is stocks or stock mutual funds and is the growth portion of your portfolio. It will naturally increase and decrease with the fluctuations of the market, he says.

“If you have a financial plan, then you have a goal, and you’re more likely to accomplish it.”

CONTRIBUTE TO A TRADITIONAL IRA

Millennials might also consider not contributing to a traditional IRA. Instead, they should contribute to a non-deductible IRA and immediately convert it to a Roth IRA, says James. If they have a traditional IRA, they can’t convert to a Roth IRA without tax consequences.

When might Millennials consider doing this? When they can no longer contribute to a Roth IRA. And that could happen, says James, as their careers advance and salaries rise. For 2015, if your filing status is married filing jointly and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is less than $183,000, you can contribute up to the limit — $5,500, or $6,500 if you’re 50 or older. If your MAGI is $183,000 to less than $193,000, then you can contribute a reduced amount. And if your MAGI is $193,000 or more, you can’t contribute to a Roth IRA. 100 MINUS YOUR AGE

One bit of conventional wisdom would have you invest the difference between 100 and your age in stocks. In other words, if you’re 20, you’d invest 80% of your portfolio in stocks. And if you’re 80, you’d invest 20% in stocks.

But that “is probably the worst rule of thumb that is regularly quoted,” says H. Jude Boudreaux, a certified financial planner and founder of Upperline Financial Planning in New Orleans. “This (rule of thumb) often has relatively conservative young people over-invested in stocks that will scare them out of down markets and has them taking unnecessary risk,” he says. And for older investors, he says, it’s not really useful either, because most 60year-old clients I’ve seen probably need more than 40% of their portfolio in stocks, especially in this low-yield environment.”

Linebacker reveals his plans to play for Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Snow in Kansas in the heart of the summer is hard to imagine, but the Kansas University football program keeps finding a way to make it happen.

On Saturday, KU coach David Beaty and company learned that Kurtis Taufa, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound outside linebacker from Snow College had switched his commitment from Utah to Kansas.

Taufa, labeled a two-star prospect by Rivals.com, is the third player in the Class of 2016 from Snow College to commit to KU this summer.

He joins three-star offensive lineman Joe Malanga (6-4, 300), who orally committed to KU in May, and three-star defensive end Mania Perese (6-3, 281), who pledged to join the Jayhawks last week.

“It helped a lot they were also committed,” Taufa told JayhawkSlant.com’s Jon Kirby. “But when it comes down to it if they weren’t going to Kansas I still would have because of the coaches. That is the kind of staff I want to play for.”

The Snow College trio made a couple of different visits to KU’s campus during the past several months.

And each time, they came away impressed by the entire Kansas coaching staff.

“The coaches were all good people,” Taufa told Kirby after a recent visit.

“They tell me all the time they like how physical and hungry I am.”

Linebackers coach Kevin Kane and co-defensive coordinator Kenny Perry were listed as the lead recruiters in landing Taufa, and Taufa told Kirby that Perry had reached out to him while he still was a member of the TCU coaching staff.

In addition to Utah and Kansas, Taufa drew scholarship offers from Missouri and Washington State. He also indicated that coaches from Cal, USC and Washington told him recently that they had plans to start scouting him a little more in the coming months, but his connection to the KU coaching staff and the family atmosphere within the program was all that was needed to convince him and his family that Lawrence was the right place for him.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL COACH BILL SELF, RIGHT, observes a shot by KU freshman Carlton Bragg during a Team USA practice for the World University Games on June 30 in Gwangju, South Korea.

Games experience to benefit Bragg When the World University Games stretch of basketball started for Kansas University at Sprint Center with a pair of exhibitions vs. Canada, Carlton Bragg was getting tossed across the lane by a Canadian post player. No whistle. Hello basketball vs. men. Goodbye basketball vs. boys. By the end of the South Korean experience, Bragg was diving for loose balls, giving no thought to protecting his broken nose. It didn’t take him long to get the hang of it.

Those public lessons won’t be learned by most college basketball freshmen until November and won’t sink in until long after that.

Advantage Kansas.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

The trip that ended with the players wearing gold medals and having a much better understanding of another country’s culture will benefit them forever. And it definitely gives Kansas a head start on the basketball season.

Obviously, the experience of playing so well when the team relied so heavily on them will fuel the confi-

dence of returning starters Frank Mason and Wayne Selden. But look to the front court to find the players who just might have benefited most from the experience, Bragg and center Hunter Mickelson.

Bragg, a 6-foot-9, 225-pound McDonald’s AllAmerican ranked by Rivals No. 21 in the Class of 2015, sweats potential. He has a natural knack to find the open man, handles the ball well for a man his size, and has a very soft touch from the perimeter.

He also has spent most of his life playing against smaller, slower athletes who don’t have what it takes physically to keep up with him. Struggling with the transition to

a completely different level of basketball with bigger, faster bodies than he’s used to facing is inevitable. He’s an extra step down the road of that transition, thanks to the summer practices and overseas game experience.

Another factor weighing in Bragg’s favor as he works on developing his skills, savvy and toughness has to do with the experience level of teammates. In recent years, he might have been thrown into situations for which he wasn’t ready and might then be viewed as a disappointment in the eyes of greedy spectators who want freshmen to perform like sophomores and juniors.

Firebirds’ Spain helps East win Shrine Bowl shutout

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Brandon Zenner/Special to the Journal-World

FREE STATE’S JOEL SPAIN TACKLES WICHITA CARROLL quarterback Colton Howell during the Shrine Bowl on Saturday night in Hays. Spain’s East team won, 21-0.

Hays — With two minutes left in Saturday’s Shrine Bowl, former Free State High cornerback Joel Spain snuffed out a reverse near the goal line and made a tackle in the backfield, helping the East squad complete a 21-0 victory at Fort Hays State University.

The play had a little extra meaning for Spain. It was the last tackle of his football career.

The future Cowley County Community College baseball player finished with four tackles, including the crucial stop at the 10yard line.

“Helluva way to go out,” said Spain, helping the East to only its second win in the all-star game since 2006

and the game’s first shutout since 1990. “You’re playing on defense and to shut them out in the Shrine Bowl is a huge statement for our defense. That’s one of the best ways to go out as a football player.”

Spain was one of the few defensive players on the left side of the field when he made his stop in the fourth quarter, but he was always confident he would make the play.

“One of the things from Free State that I’ve learned and what the coaches preached here is that as a corner … you have to stay on the outside and push him in,” Spain said. “I just tried to stay on the outside and didn’t let him get outside of me.”

Spain made two tackles in the first quarter. His first tackle forced a fourth down

when he squared up the West’s quarterback, Colton Howell, who was trying to scramble out of the pocket.

Later in the quarter, he tackled West receiver Hunter Knoblauch after Knoblauch caught a 15-yard pass.

“Before the game, the coaches gave little emotional speeches and it was starting to hit me that it would be the last time I was strapping it up,” Spain said.

“I wanted to leave it all out on the field.

“We had this little kid named Justin come talk to us,” Spain added. “He warmed us up. He ran for a touchdown. Then he drew up a play for us in the locker room. He was a joy to have around. He really let us play for him.”

TAMPA BAY RAYS

AL CENTRAL

By Jeff Schultz

Cooperstown, N.Y. — We have been conditioned in sports to celebrate the biggest, the strongest, the fastest. But they can’t touch the champions who seemingly weren’t born to run through walls.

Special admiration should be reserved for: The pitcher who somehow squeezes a 22year, Cy Young-punctuated career out of a right limb that has endured five surgeries, including Tommy John (before it was really cool) … the guy who transitions from starter to closer when it appears his career might be over and then, as if to prove everybody else an idiot again, manages to transition back to starter … the pro athlete who turns down more money in free agency because he wants to stay home and not lose the relationship he has with his manager.

John Smoltz, the flame thrower, was in so much pain once that he “couldn’t use a fork” so he considered throwing knuckleballs all season.

John Smoltz, the medical wonder, never used performance-enhancing drugs, whether to aid in recovery from injury or in hopes of adding something to his fastball — against hitters who undoubtedly were juiced.

John Smoltz wasn’t meant to be better than most other pitchers in his era. He just was.

He will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame Sunday. His success in the era of steroid-aided hitters with cartoon-like home run totals deserves a special place among the enshrines, along with two former teammates who were inducted last season, Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, as well as Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson from this year’s class.

All pitchers from the steroid era in Cooperstown should be given a separate wing.

If Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire or any other lab experiments get in one day, they can go down the hall, in a room with fun-house mirrors.

“For me personally, it was a grind,” Smoltz said Saturday.

“I worked very hard to come back from many injuries. But when I was on the mound, I never consumed myself with the ‘what-if’ or ‘who’s that’ or ‘what are they doing’. I wanted to get people out. I wanted it to be competitive and fair. And then I would let everybody else speculate on what was going on.”

Was he ever tempted to use PEDs? “Never once. I’ve been very blessed. I’m an outside-thebox thinker. I tried everything you can imagine, from natural ointments to you name it to get back on the mound. For me to get here and pitch through what I did seems like the most improbable journey ever. But I never was tempted to sway one way or the other and compromise my beliefs.”

Baseball is a game of numbers. Smoltz had those: 3,000-plus strikeouts, 213 wins as a starter, 154 saves in a tick over three years as a closer, eight All-Star appearances, a Cy Young, a postseason record of 15-4 with a 2.67 ERA for a franchise that had plenty fingers left for more World Series rings.

Smoltz will try to squeeze as much as he can into his induction speech. He’ll touch on some career highlights.

He’ll mention family, teammates, coaches and certainly Bobby Cox, who both acquired Smoltz when he was the general manager and stayed with him as a manager during early career struggles.

WEST’S MAYA MOORE, OF THE MINNESOTA LYNX, REACTS IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE WNBA ALLSTAR GAME, Saturday in Uncasville, Connecticut. The West won 117-112. Moore, who scored 30 points, was named MVP.

Moore named MVP of WNBA All-Star Game Uncasville, Conn. — Maya Moore has always enjoyed playing in Connecticut. She put on another show in the state at the WNBA’s All-Star Game.

Moore scored a record 30 points to lead the West to a 117-112 victory over the East on Saturday. She had eight straight points in the final 2 minutes to turn a one-point deficit into a 113-106 advantage for the West. After a basket by the East cut it to a four-point game, the Minnesota forward hit another deep 3-pointer to seal the victory.

“It was a blast of a game, those are moments that are fun for us,” said Moore, who starred at UConn and led the Huskies to an NCAA-record 90 straight wins and two national championships. “The game’s on the line, one-point game, let’s go out and play, see who wins.”

Western Conference coach Sandy Brondello, who has seen Moore put on dazzling displays from the opposite bench was happy to have Moore close out the game for her team this time.

“It was great to have that opportunity to coach her,” Brondello said. “She’s an amazing athlete. She’s special in crunch time. We’ve all seen her do that in her career college and the pro leagues. She knows how to put the ball in the hole.”

Moore, who was honored as the game’s MVP, surpassed Shoni Schimmel’s 29 points in last year’s overtime game.

The West’s victory was the All-Star swan song for Indiana star Tamika Catchings, who has played in a record 10 of them. She is planning to retire at the end of next season and the WNBA typically doesn’t play All-Star games in Olympic years.

Catchings has faith the league is in good hands with young stars like Moore, Brittney Griner and Elena Delle Donne.

“Today’s a good example of how good the WNBA will continue to be,” Catchings said.

“I remember looking around the room at the player’s meeting the other day and seeing so many first-timers standing up.”

Catchings became the league’s career leader in All-Star points with a putback in the second quarter right after she broke up a potential dunk attempt by Griner on a fast break. She finished her All-Star career with 108 points, passing Lisa Leslie.

Griner later got a two-handed slam midway through the third quarter. She followed it up on the next possession with a 3-pointer that gave the West its first lead since early in the game.

The West opened up a double-digit lead before the East rallied behind Connecticut Sun star Alex Bentley, who was playing in front of her home crowd. The game was tight in the fourth before Moore took over in the final minutes.

Griner finished with 21 points for the West.

Delle Donne, who was the leading vote-getter this season, made her first All-Star appearance. The Chicago Sky star was voted in the last two years as a starter as well, but couldn’t play because of injuries. Playing in the game was just part of what was special for Delle Donne. She also wore a pair of shoes designed

by Matthew Walzer, a 19-year-old college student who challenged Nike to make a shoe for people with disabilities. Delle Donne’s sister, Lizzie, has cerebral palsy and is blind and deaf.

Canadian leads Canadian Open Oakville, Ontario — David Hearn moved into position to become the first Canadian to win the Canadian Open in 61 years, taking a twostroke lead over Bubba Watson and Jason Day on Saturday.

Hearn, from Brantford, birdied the par-3 15th and par-5 16th, but dropped a stroke on the par-4 17th and closed with a par for a 4-under

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

68 and a 15-under 201 total at Glen Abbey.

Pat Fletcher, born in England, was the last Canadian winner in 1954 at Point Grey in Vancouver, British Columbia. Carl Keffer is the only Canadian-born champion, winning in 1909 and 1914. Albert Murray, a Canadian also born in England, won in 1908 and 1913.

Hearn is the first Canadian to have a 54-hole lead at the Canadian Open since Mike Weir in 2004 at Glen Abbey. Weir led by three shots, but lost in a playoff to Vijay Singh.

Watson also had a 68, and Day shot 69.

Watson eagled the par-5 13th, made a bogey on the par-4 14th and rallied with birdies on 16 and the par-5 18th. Day, coming off a tie for fourth Monday in the British Open, dropped three strokes with a bogey on the par-4 10th and double bogey on the par-4 11th, then birdied six of the last seven holes.

Salas forges four-shot lead Belmont, Mich. — Lizette Salas shot a 7-under 64 to take a four-stroke lead in the Meijer LPGA Classic, putting her in position for her second tour title.

The 26-year-old former University of Southern California player birdied Nos. 14-16 and closed her bogey-free round with two pars. She had a 16-under 197 total at Blythefield Country Club.

Salas had shares of the lead after each of the first two rounds, also opening with a 64 and shooting a 69 on Friday. The 2013 U.S. Solheim Cup player won the 2014 Kingsmill Championship.

Salas birdied three of the first four holes and added another at the par-4 ninth hole to pull in front. After saving par with a 25-foot putt at 13, she hit a shot inside 2 feet at the par-3 14th for birdie and followed with a 6-footer at 15 and a 30-footer at 16.

Lexi Thompson and Michigan native Kris Tamulis were tied for second. Tamulis, whose family still summers in Northern Michigan, shot 67. Thompson had a 68.

Two share lead at Senior Open Sunningdale, England — Colin Montgomerie and Marco Dawson share the lead at 10 under in the suspended third round of the Senior British Open.

Darkness stopped play, five hours after the delayed start of the round at Sunningdale’s Old Course. The second round, suspended Friday because of rain, wasn’t completed until Saturday afternoon.

Montgomerie and Dawson each had nine holes left in the third round. Fred Couples and Philip Walton were tied for second at 8 under.

Couples had seven holes left, and Walton one to go.

Defending champion Bernhard Langer was 7 under with nine holes remaining.

Raiders, city leaders hold talks There is still no stadium deal on the horizon, but the Oakland Raiders and city leaders took one tiny step forward this week: They actually talked.

When Raiders President Marc Badain called Oakland assistant administrator Claudia Cappio, it was the first direct conversation between the team and the city in more than a month.

Cappio said she had been playing phone tag with Badain. But two elected city leaders said the Raiders had cut off all communication with them after this paper published a copy of an initial stadium plan that called for team ownership to sell off 20 percent of the club for $200 million.

Sixteen members of Kansas University’s 2015 football recruiting class, which included former Shawnee Mission West standout Andre Maloney, who passed away in 2013 after collapsing on the sideline during a game with the Vikings, recently made a surprise visit to Cafe 29 in Overland Park, the restaurant run in Maloney’s honor by his mother, Rosaelida.

Maloney always told his mother that he would like to open a restaurant for her someday, and after his passing, she moved to make the dream a reality. The restaurant features all kinds of KU and Maloney touches and dubs itself as a “fine bakery and deli.”

“To have all of his boys here, it was just so special to see all of them,” Rosaelida said in an inter-

But the surprise appearance was not just special for Maloney’s mother.

“It felt good to come in here and surprise her and put a smile on her face,” KU linebacker Josh Ehambe told Time Warner. “And let her know

that she has more sons that play on the Jayhawk football team.”

Added Free State High graduate Joe Dineen, who will wear No. 29 in honor of his late friend and former foe: “She was really surprised. I think it was awesome. He’s as much a part of this as anybody is.”

KANSAS CITY’S SALVADOR PEREZ (13) DUMPS WATER on teammates Alcides Escobar (2) and Paulo Orlando after the Royals defeated Houston, 2-1 in 10 innings, on Saturday night at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.

Royals edge Astros in 10 innings, 2-1 Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Although Alcides Escobar didn’t make solid contact, he immediately knew he had a game-winning hit.

Escobar singled home Paulo Orlando with two outs in the 10th inning to lift the Kansas City Royals to a 2-1 victory over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

Orlando singled off Will Harris (4-3) with one out and stole second before Escobar’s gamewinning looper to shallow right gave the Royals the win and snapped the Astros’ five-game winning streak.

“With a man on second base, any base hit in that scoring position, he will score easily,” Escobar said. “I see this guy (right fielder Colby Rasmus) he is playing right to the line and the second baseman (Jose) Altuve playing to the middle, I say no chance, game over.”

Kelvin Herrera (2-2) pitched a scoreless 10th to pick up the victory.

Eric Hosmer tripled high off the left-field fence with two out in the ninth, but was stranded when Harris retired Alex Rios on a grounder.

“Runs were hard to come by, obviously,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “Then we got beat by a little bleeder. It was an exciting game, a tough one to lose. These type of games are character builders. There are no moral victories around here, but I was proud of our guys. We fought pretty hard. We played an extremely tough team.”

The Astros grabbed a 1-0 lead in the sixth when Altuve singled and stopped at third on Marwin Gonzalez’s double into the left-field corner.

Rookie Carlos Correa hit a sacrifice fly to center to drive in Altuve.

Houston right-hander Scott Feldman took a one-hitter into the seventh inning before the Royals tied it. Escobar led off with an infield single and moved to third on Kendrys Mo-

rales’ ground-rule double to center. After Hosmer was walked intentionally to load the bases, Salvador Perez’s sacrifice fly scored Escobar, snapping the Royals’ 15-inning scoreless streak.

Feldman, who was making his second start since having right knee surgery in late May, left after 7 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and one run, while walking one intentionally and striking out two.

Pat Neshek replaced Feldman and stranded Orlando at second base to end the eighth. He has permitted just one of 15 inherited runners to score this season.

Royals left-hander Danny Duffy was pulled after six innings and 101 pitches, allowing one run and three hits, while walking one and striking out three.

“My fastball had a lot of life,” Duffy said.

Davis joins O’Brien Royals RHP Wade Davis threw his fifth scoreless outing since the AllStar break to lower his ERA to 0.43. He is the second pitcher in bigleague history to record an ERA below 0.50 after 40 innings, joining Red Sox pitcher Buck O’Brien, 0.38 in 1911.

Up next Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura, who got a reprieve Wednesday, will start today. Ventura was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A after a succession of poor outings, but was recalled the next day.

Spain was a regular on the East’s special teams.

He lined up on kickoffs, punts and punt returns.

For his last football game, it went just the way he was hoping it would.

“I’m definitely going to miss it,” Spain said of playing football. “It’s going to be nice to play baseball. But this is one great way to go out.”

Spain was joined on the East squad by former Wellsville running back and linebacker Brett Osbern and Wellsville coach Brad Burkdoll.

Osbern, who will play running back at Emporia State, had one carry for two yards and caught a five-yard pass.

“It was exciting. I wish I would have broke the tackle,” Osbern said with a laugh about his catch.

“But I got a first down and kept the chains moving, so it was good. … It felt good just representing the school one more time. It was a fun time.”

FREE STATE’S JOEL SPAIN CELEBRATES after making a tackle during the Shrine Bowl on Saturday night in Hays.

In his final prep season, Osbern led Wellsville with 1,454 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns, adding 11 catches for 170 yards.

Osbern said the game speed helped him prepare for the collegiate level, but one of his biggest

takeaways was a visit to one of the Shriners Hospitals for Children earlier in the week.

“That was an experience,” Osbern said. “Just seeing how they work through having one arm.

Not having legs and all that. That’s pretty cool.”

Hamels no-hits Cubs The Associated Press

National League Phillies 5, Cubs 0 Chicago — Phillies ace Cole Hamels enhanced his trade value even more, becoming the first pitcher to throw a nohitter against the Chicago Cubs in 50 years while leading Philadelphia to a win Saturday.

There was drama down to the final out, when rookie center fielder Odubel Herrera stumbled on the warning track, but managed to lean forward and catch Kris Bryant’s flyball to end the game.

Hamels struck out 13 in the first no-hitter versus the Cubs since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game in 1965.

Surviving ‘1,000 deaths,’ SCOREBOARD Froome all but locks up Tour Tour de France

Alpe D’huez, France (ap) — Feeling like he was “dying a thousand deaths,” Chris Froome started to think that a second Tour de France victory might be melting away like the patches of snow on surrounding Alpine peaks.

Up ahead, already out of sight on the 21 hairpin bends lined by frenzied spectators, Froome’s biggest rival at this Tour and those to come, Nairo Quintana, was flying, out of his saddle, getting away.

Grimly, Froome clung on. Following the wheels of two teammates who led him up cycling’s most iconic climb to the Alpe d’Huez ski station, he passed — barely — the last big test before the three-week race rolls to its finish in Paris on Sunday.

This wasn’t the dominant Froome whose powerful performances in the Pyrenees seemed, to some skeptics, reminiscent of dope cheats who did so much damage to the Tour. This was just a man, fighting pain, fighting the mountain, fighting to survive.

“There was a moment where I felt this could go either way,” the British rider said.

“I was on my absolute limits. I was dying a thousand deaths.”

Quintana was outstanding on the storied ascent, piling on speed in his last real opportunity to unseat the race leader. Over his radio, Froome’s Team Sky updated him on the Colombian’s progress as he scythed through fans waving flares and smoke bombs.

“We were getting time checks every few minutes,” Froome said. “It was comforting to see it wasn’t suddenly jumping by 30 seconds each time.

It was slowly moving up 5-10 seconds at a time.”

Thibaut Pinot won Saturday’s Stage 20, the third French victory of this Tour. But it was Quintana’s bold last assault and Froome’s tenacious defense that provided the thrilling finale to a spectacular race.

The 1 minute, 12 seconds Froome preserved over Quintana will see him crowned the winner on the Champs-Elysees.

“An amazing, amazing feeling,” he said.

THIBAUT PINOT OF FRANCE CELEBRATES as he crosses the finish line to win the 20th stage.

Froome essentially won this Tour on the first big climbs in the Pyrenees in week two when, closely followed by teammate Richie Porte, he triumphed at the La Pierre-Saint-Martin ski station to give him a big time cushion. He picked that climb weeks earlier in training as the place to make his move.

That decisive blow carried Froome through those mountains and the hilly Massif Central region on the way to the Alps, and — with the exception of Quintana — resigned other contenders to fight for second and third.

Ultimately, Quintana left himself too much to do on the last of four days in the Alps. Just as in 2013, he’ll finish runner-up to Froome.

Quintana said time lost in the first week cost him dearly.

Still, he said: “Second at the Tour de France isn’t half-bad.”

Their engrossing, developing rivalry is box office for the sport after

the ravages wrought by Lance Armstrong’s era of systematic doping and lying.

At age 25, Quintana’s future is ahead. He again will win the white jersey as the Tour’s best young rider.

At 30, Froome can still add to his soon-to-be two Tour wins, and says he sees himself competing for at least another six or seven years.

But on this Tour’s evidence, Quintana is getting closer to finding Froome’s breaking point.

In 2013, Froome won with a lead of 4 minutes, 20 seconds. This Tour wasn’t so comfortable.

“Nairo pushed me all the way to the end, literally,” Froome said. “We’ll be back for the rematch.”

On the Alpe d’Huez, Froome clung to the lifeline of his teammates Porte and Wouter Poels, who kept glancing behind to make sure their leader was still on their wheels.

“They saved it for me,” Froome said.

Panama defeated the United States 3-2 on penalty kicks.

“Give Panama credit,

Panama defeats U.S. in shootout Chester, Pa. (ap) — Music and shouts of celebration blasted from the Panama locker room next door as U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann tried to put another positive spin on another loss.

Backup goalkeeper Luis Mejia saved two penalty kicks in the shootout, and an inspired Panamanian team ended a trying week with a medal, beating the Americans in the CONCACAF Gold Cup thirdplace game Saturday.

Panama won the shootout 3-2 after extra time ended with the score 1-1.

Mejia saved DaMarcus Beasley’s shot in the fifth round in what might have been the veteran defender’s last game for the national team.

In Wednesday’s semifinals, Panama was on the verge of beating Mexico despite being down to 10 men — until a disputed hand ball was called in the area. Mexico converted the penalty kick in stoppage time then scored on another penalty kick in extra time for the 2-1 win.

No guarantees Spieth will get another shot St. Andrews, Scotland (ap) — The odds of a Grand Slam already were long simply because no one had ever swept the four professional majors in one year. If that’s the best measure, this sobering piece of history might make Jordan Spieth feel even worse.

No one ever got another chance.

Dating to 1960, when Arnold Palmer hatched the modern version of the Grand Slam on his way to St. Andrews, no one came closer to the third leg than Spieth. He was tied for the lead with two holes to play. Two pars would have been enough for a playoff. A par and a birdie would have sent golf into hysteria.

Instead, he missed a par putt on the low side at the 17th, and hit his drive so far left on the closing hole of the Old Course that Spieth was between clubs and had an awkward angle to a front left pin tucked just above the ridge that leads to the Valley of Sin. The bogey-par finish left him one shot out of a three-man playoff. He was reduced to the role — and a classy one at that — of spectator on the steps of the Royal & Ancient clubhouse as Zach Johnson won a three-man playoff to join a select group of names on the claret jug.

Kel Nagle, Lee Trevino and Ernie Els were the other three players who ended the quest for a Grand Slam. All of them are in the World Golf Hall of Fame. It’s no longer a stretch to think Johnson might join them one day.

In an era where it’s hard to win anywhere on the PGA Tour, and when there is such a premium on power, the 39-year-old Johnson has 12 wins and two majors in his 12 years on tour. It’s hard to dismiss those numbers.

As for Spieth?

“It’s a tough feeling being that close in a major. It doesn’t matter the historical element of it,” Spieth said. “I believe I’ll have plenty of opportunities like I did today.”

If he’s talking about winning another major, don’t bet against him.

Las Vegas already has installed him as the favorite at the PGA Championship.

The Grand Slam is another matter.

Palmer was 30 when he first tried for the Grand Slam. He thought he might get another crack at it when he won the Masters in 1962 and was tied for the lead going into the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont.

JORDAN SPIETH, RIGHT, CONGRATULATES Zach Johnson after Johnson won the British Open on Monday at St. Andrews, Scotland.

Jack Nicklaus, a 22-yearold tour rookie, shot 69 in the final round and then beat the King in a playoff the next day. Palmer won one more Masters in 1964 and was one shot out of the lead in the U.S. Open that year until fading on the final day at Congressional.

Nicklaus was 32 when he closed with a 66 in the final round at Muirfield while going for the Grand Slam in 1972. He thought it might be good enough until Trevino chipped in for par on the 17th hole and made par up the 18th for a one-shot victory.

Nicklaus won the Masters again in 1975, but in the U.S. Open at Medinah, he shot 72 in the final round and wound up two shots out of a playoff.

Most surprising was Woods based solely on his level of dominance.

Woods was 26 when he took himself out of the Grand Slam in 2002 with an 81 in the third round.

He was back on top of his game in 2005 when he won the Masters, and he looked like the player to beat in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 until Michael Campbell stood his ground and won by two.

Woods was the runnerup. Woods won five more majors, though never a Masters.

Spieth is 21.

He at least has youth on his side, though that only goes so far.

Spieth dominated Augusta National with a wire-to-wire victory. But the U.S. Open required some help. Dustin Johnson missed a half-dozen putts inside 10 feet on the back nine, including a three-putt par from 12

feet on the final hole at Chambers Bay that cost him a spot in the playoff.

At the British Open, he had to contend with the likes of Jason Day, Louis Oosthuizen and Zach Johnson.

Yes, he has closed out his share of tournaments.

“This just wasn’t one of those,” he said. “It’s hard to do that every single time.”

Woods said after winning the 1997 Masters that the Grand Slam was a matter of winning the right four weeks of the year. By the end of that year, when he didn’t win another major, he said it was difficult just to contend in four majors a year.

Having done it once, Spieth will be on the short list of players who are asked about a Grand Slam after winning the first one.

In the meantime, there is much history he can chase, even if it isn’t the holy grail. Ben Hogan (1953) and Woods (2000) are the only players to have captured three majors in one year. No one has ever won all three American-based majors, and Spieth will get that chance next month in the PGA Championship.

And if that doesn’t work out?

Spieth already has $9.17 million, and with a World Championship, one more major and four lucrative FedEx Cup playoff events, Spieth is within reach of becoming the first $11 million winner in golf. He turns 22 next week and Monday crossed the $17 million mark in career earnings.

End of the slam. Just not the end of the road.

How did growing up in Junction City shape you?

The diversity. Our family was not in the military and almost everybody else was.

The people who were not in the military lived a different life. In some ways you could call us second-class citizens.

There was a huge amount of what they call “war brides,” where men brought women home from overseas and they had kids, so I had this huge diversity in people I grew up with — black and Japanese, black and Korean, black and Filipino, black and Italian, black and German, and white in all those same mixtures as well. We had this beautiful mix of cultures at the time, but in those days they were ashamed of it; they didn’t celebrate it. It’s like Junction had diversity before they even used the term “diversity.”

What’s the best thing about teaching at KU? You get to share what you love with students. It’s a real opportunity to be able to teach what you love and to have students that you see grow and change, and are affected by what you’re teaching. That’s about as good as it gets.

You said once that NBC execs told you to write the miniseries “The ’70s” for a junior-high level. Did anything from that experience — and creative limitation — prove useful later on in your career?

Yeah, I think so. It was right after that and after 9/11 that I moved away from writing for the industry, and started writing just for making my films. And I think that

experience with “The ’70s” — which wasn’t a totally bad experience, but working in the industry like that — wasn’t very fulfilling. And I think it was because I really couldn’t be myself. I was very fortunate I got a lot of good jobs — Oliver Stone, [scripts with Kansas–based screenwriter Mitch Brian called “Little Brown Brothers” and an adaptation of Michael Blake’s novel “Marching to Valhalla”] and some different people — that I got to be myself with, but unfortunately those movies were never made. The only movie that was ever made was the one they dummied down. It left me with a desire to produce things that represented more who I really was.

I’m hoping “Chiraq” will allow me to work on my own terms within the industry a little more.

How do you feel that 6. your 2004 faux-documentary satire “C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America” has aged, considering the new controversies over flying the Confederate flag?

Longtime friends, musicians to reunite for farewell show at Love Garden

By Joanna Hlavacek Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

Back in the late 1990s, when Danny Pound and David Swenson were just a couple of twentysomething kids tooling around with their guitars and playing offbeat gigs at local venues, Love Garden Sounds was the place to be.

In their early years, Pound and Swenson would spend hours digging through the stacks

at the “weird little record shack,” bonding over their shared love of Bob Dylan and introducing each other to new artists.

“That was definitely a place where Dave and I spent a lot of time,” says Pound, who hopes to send off his longtime friend and musical partner in style when the two reunite for a “see-yanext-year show” Thursday evening at their old stomping grounds.

‘Southpaw’ mostly swings and misses

M

ost boxing movies are rags-toriches stories but “Southpaw,” starring a bulked-up Jake Gyllenhaal, is a riches-torags story.

This reversal of the traditional structure doesn’t mean that the film isn’t riddled with other cliches, however. Writer Kurt Sutter (“Sons of Anarchy”) and director Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) understand those cliches and the film flaunts them like bling in a rap video.

It’s the deeply earnest performances from Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, Oona Laurence and Rachel McAdams — and the natural tendency to get behind the underdog — that keeps “Southpaw” going, even when a crushing inevitability hangs over the entire movie.

It makes sense that a movie written and directed by this uber-macho pair of filmmakers would be “gritty,” which it is right from the first shot.

With blood streaming down his face, longtime light heavyweight champ Billy Hope (Gyllenhaal) screams directly into the camera, taunting his opponent in the ring.

It’s OK that Billy’s arms are down, leaving him unprotected. It turns out that’s his thing.

A la “Rocky,” Billy is used to taking lots of punishment. The intention of “Southpaw,” a title that pushes the underdog mentality even further and is loaded with all-too-obvious significance only toward the end of the film, is to dole out that punishment to Billy outside of the ring, and make sure the audience feels it as well.

At first, Billy’s life is perfect. He may have all of the tattoos and pent-up rage of a scary gansta-culture sports professional, but he’s really just a family man who dotes on his daughter Leila (Laurence) and is still madly in love with his former childhood sweetheart and wife, Maureen (McAdams).

The couple are both orphans and their unlikely success story is the kind of thing that gives people, well, Hope. (“The Great White Hope”? Technically yes, he’s white — and the film was originally written for Eminem (who is a producer) — but “Southpaw” strangely acknowledges that 1970 film by nicknaming Billy “The Hope,” but ignores its loaded racial connotations, striving instead for straightforward solemnity.)

If you’ve seen the trailer for “Southpaw,” and you’ve read my column before, you probably know I’m about to rant again. I stay away from trailers, so I didn’t know this until after seeing the movie, but there is an enormous plot point given away in the trailer.

I don’t know why I even bother dancing around it, but let’s just say that the perfect nouveau-riche lifestyle Billy and family is used to changes drastically and all at once.

There are worse things in store for Billy

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com than this, but his money mismanagement alone is of such an epic proportion that it’s pretty tough to swallow. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson plays his money-hungry manager, and at first I thought he was too stiff and onedimensional. As it was revealed how absolutely cold-hearted and devoid of human feeling the character is, however, I began to realize he might have just been perfectly cast.

Hard-to-swallow plotting aside, Billy’s tailspin is made more believable

by Gyllenhaal’s livedin performance. And although the two actors don’t have nearly enough scenes together, he and Laurence manage to make the father-daughter relationship special, even with the small amount of screen time together they actually have.

By the time Billy’s troubles lead him to the gym of Whitaker’s wise, hard-luck boxing trainer, it is painfully clear where everything is headed, and “Southpaw” relies on Fuqua to string together scene after scene after montage of dark-horse cliches. Don’t call it a comeback — Hope is just a man humbled who must gather the courage to do the only thing he knows how to do: fight.

Fuqua doesn’t necessarily innovate in terms of film language when it comes to the boxing scenes (where can anyone go after the impressionistic sound effects and camerawork of “Raging Bull” anyway?) but they are paced with the requisite amount of ups and downs required for suspense.

Like the rest of “Southpaw,” though, there’s that inevitability factor, and it’s tough to support a two-hour film when its course seems predetermined and it hits every familiar beat along the way.

“Southpaw” is 123 minutes, and is rated R for language and bloody boxing violence.

LAWRENCE MUSICIAN DANNY POUND, pictured, will be teaming up with longtime friend and bandmate David Swenson for a farewell concert for Swenson on Thursday at Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St.

Pound CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“I wanted to run over all these old tunes that we have this shared history with — maybe for our own selfish purposes,” jokes Pound, 41. “It’ll be fun to flip through the songbook again. Hopefully, other people will enjoy it, too.”

It’s a bittersweet occasion for the pals, who first met “by chance” on the Free State Brewing Co. patio more than 15 years ago.

Their connection was powerful — and immediate, says Swenson, who for the past two years has lived in Chicago with his wife, Jacqueline Victor, and 5-year-old son, Reuben.

Together, they spent a sizable chunk of the 2000s performing in the Danny Pound

Band, which — along with Jeremy Sidener and one-time drummer Daniel Benson — continued churning out Americana-tinged albums until 2010 or so.

The pair’s younger days were marked by “nocturnal activities” like gigs at local dive bars and impromptu jam sessions at Swenson’s house — it wasn’t uncommon for a singalong to break out around the piano in the middle of the night, Pound says. Not at Dave’s place.

They were the first guests on Channel 6’s “The Turnpike,” which features interviews and live concert footage from regional and national bands.

“We did the very first episode at my old house at 18th and Louisiana. Just Danny and I,” Swenson, 40, recalls.

“Us sitting around and talking

about stuff and being young and playing the piano and guitar together.”

That kind of effortlessness — shooting the breeze, strumming on instruments, working on song lyrics — has defined their relationship from the very beginning.

And when Swenson moved to Chicago a few years back, the friends remained close.

They try to see each other at least a couple of times a year, and Pound says he’s keeping his fingers crossed on a trip to France, where Swenson’s wife — a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Chicago — will further her studies in French medieval literature.

Swenson doesn’t play so many late-night gigs these days, but he’s still making music when he has time between teaching piano and guitar lessons — and serving as president of his son’s

Willmott CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

Well, “C.S.A.” continues to be the film that keeps on giving, unfortunately. It’s aged very well and unfortunately will continue to age well.

“C.S.A.” is really about the conflict that’s going on in the Untied States.

It’s obviously defined by North and the South and the Confederate flag and all those things, but it really goes a lot deeper than that now. It really is what defines the blue state and the red state and what defines Democrat and Republican and all the major divisions that we have in the country now. They’re pretty bitter and very steadfast.

“C.S.A.” is about that division and unfortunately, it’s not going to go away for some time.

Now that “Jayhawkers” is out on

DVD and more people have gotten a chance to see it, what has the reaction been from sports figures, broadcasters, etc.?

As a whole, we’ve gotten good reviews from that. I’ve been at screenings where sports figures were present — people that played in the ’60s, not necessarily with Wilt but were significant figures during that civil rights period in sports— and they all really love

preschool board.

Despite Swenson’s transition to family man, Pound says his friend has remained, at the core, the same guy he met nearly 20 years ago — “true blue,” that one.

The pair like to get each other’s input on songs, just as they did in their younger days when Swenson would offer the kind of bitingly honest commentary — and unconditional support — Pound needed.

“He was always right. So, I counted on him. I still do,” says Pound, who exchanges tapes with his friend to this day.

“Even all these miles away, I still want to know what Dave thinks. I want to know what Dave thinks.”

that time. We got close, but it fell apart at the end. So about a year ago, he called me back and said, “You still have that script?” I said “Yeah,” and he said, “let’s rewrite it, set it in Chicago, and call it ‘Chiraq.’” That’s how we got here today.

The difference is that Amazon is a player now and is producing films, and that’s probably the only reason the movie’s being made — because somebody like Amazon exists and is making really cool movies.

When controversy erupts over a movie no one’s seen yet, the talking heads almost always get it wrong.

How did “Chiraq” What about “Chiraq” originate and how did will surprise people?

Spike Lee get involved?

Everything will surprise them. The way I It had been an idea that I had for a long time. describe the movie is It originated from college that it’s not about the problem; it’s about the and was influenced by solution. I think people different literary things.

So then I wrote the script just assume the movie’s going to be about the 13 years ago and it was problem.

Movies are like your children. They’re all different and you love them each in a different way.

You can’t really say, “I just love Billy the most,” but I’ll name you a few of my favorites: Probably “Dr. Strangelove” would be on that list.

Maybe “Being There.”

I’m a real big Hal Ashby fan. “Harold and Maude” would be on there. “The Verdict,” I really like that movie a lot. And probably the first “Shaft” movie by Gordon Parks.

POET’S SHOWCASE

SHELF LIFE

The Wasp Striped yellow and black, a paper wasp buzzes my window. I watch as he inspects the glass, mistaking it, perhaps, for water?

Paper wasps, I read, have facial recognition. I wonder if he knows my face? Does he know it is a face? Does he think all humans look alike?

With an abrupt buzz, the wasp flies to a tissue-like bundle in the corner of my porch. He is constructing a nest.

The book follows a 26-year-old Scout Finch — now going by her proper name, Jean Louise — as she returns home to Maycomb, Ala. It is not a true sequel to the celebrated “To Kill A Mockingbird,” but rather a “companion” story.

“Watchman” was set to be the literary event of 2015.

Then it was revealed that the beloved Atticus Finch had been recast has a racist — the antithesis of what he stood for in “Mockingbird.” The thought of having such a revered charHoelscher acter turned into a villain threw Harper Lee fans into turmoil.

Many people I’ve talked to about the book are skipping it. They hoped for a “Mockingbird Part Two: All Grown Up.” For them, the ugly, inverted world of “Watchman” holds no appeal. My girlfriend likened the situation to Disney’s betrayal with the straight-to-video “Pocahontas 2:” “In the first movie, John Smith was the dude. He was supposed to be it. That was the deal. Then the second movie ruined everything.”

I had to find out for

myself how “Watchman” affected the legacy of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

The novel opens with Scout aboard a train, eager to return to her family. As readers, we mirror much of what she feels throughout the book. Cracking open the pages and returning to the world of Boo Radley and Dill Harris — even if we know the shocks that are coming — still feels good. But this is no easy homecoming; both our world and the world of Maycomb County have changed considerably since our last visit.

Scout’s abhorrence at her father’s racial ideology is the central conflict of the story. Atticus is not as flagrantly offensive as some news pieces may have implied, but he is undoubtedly racist. He cares about African-Americans — but he views them as incapable of playing a role in the system of government. There are many tangents of political philosophy, ranging from his stance of Jeffersonian Democracy to the fierce individualism of the

South. These may be part of the relevant “depth and context” the book jacket lauds, but to a modern reader, they seem peripheral at best.

He supports eventual integration, saying that he believes that they simply aren’t ready yet. But it is clear that it is Atticus himself who is not ready for an integrated society.

Little transpires throughout the novel — it’s largely Scout becoming reacclimated to Maycomb and dealing with her familial strife. Far and away, the best parts of the book are Scout’s memories of her childhood and adolescence.

These all hold up to the vignettes of Mockingbird.

Scout recounts staging a Baptist revival with Jem and Henry, as well as going to senior prom and losing her “falsies,” both with hilarious outcomes. In addition to a more pleasing subject matter, these passages carry a certain clarity and sureness that the rest of the narrative lacks.

Without spoiling any particulars, the culmination of

the novel will leave even the most-forgiving of readers unsatisfied. For the time it was written, what happens may seem reasonable. To a modern audience it falls flat. The messages of “Watchman” — be they on race, morals or individualism — are obfuscated by a troubled plot.

Much of “Watchman” concerns Scout’s trust in Atticus and where her conscience diverges from his; the book falters critically when the reader’s conscience diverges from Scout.

“Watchman” does have value. Though it casts a shadow on the beloved “Mockingbird,” it expands the story. It’s another piece of literature that engages our discussion on morality and race. Like Scout, we may someday have to face the fall of our heroes, our guides.

When that day comes, all we have left is our conscience.

The final word: “Watchman” is a flawed story that is not easy to enjoy. Die-hard fans might find it worth the time to skim through for the flashbacks.

And don’t worry: Unlike Disney’s “Pocahontas,” no one can ever ruin the greatness of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

BOOK REVIEW

‘The Jezebel Remedy’ a smart, moving character study

By Connie Ogle Miami Herald

Martin Clark’s latest novel is a legal thriller, but it’s far richer than the usual sort of book you think of when you see that description.

There’s an intriguing mystery at the heart of “The Jezebel Remedy,” as well as shady shenanigans, corporate conspiracy, thinly veiled and notso-thinly veiled threats and assorted untimely demises.

But though Clark propels you swiftly through the book with his delightfully wry prose, he doesn’t rely solely on cheap thrills to hold your attention.

Instead, he creates characters so warm, real and unpredictably flawed that you can’t help but follow their misadventures.

Also the author of “The Legal Limit,” “The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living” and “Plain Heathen Mischief” — the two latter titles are as good as titles get — Clark sets his action in rural Virginia, where husband-andwife team Lisa and Joe Stone have practiced at their tiny law firm for almost 20 years.

T h e Stones seem to have the sort of marriage everybody longs for but few truly experience. They live in relative comfort financially, in a nice house on a bit of land.

They share custody of a sweet black dog ironi-

cally named Brownie.

There’s plenty of legal work — small claims, small cases — to keep them busy.

But, as Clark writes.

But. Lisa has grown restless, “a bit stuck, preoccupied with the flat patches in her life, mulling and noodling, flummoxed by how she seemed to have wandered across an insidious boundary and been shanghaied into a dull land of earth tones, Scrabble games, paintby-number vacations, Cinemax replays of “A Star is Born,” monthly potlucks, Lean Cuisines, cobwebs, dust bunnies,

marital conversations retarded by a mumbled “Huh?” or a distracted “What, sweetie?”

She has grown impatient with Joe, the ridiculous scooter he rides around town and his repeated catchphrases (“Great googly moogly”) and is considering starting up an ill-advised affair with another man.

She’s also irritated with Joe’s patience in dealing with their craziest client, Lettie VanSant, a paranoid, overly tattooed 40-something who lives in a trailer with way too many stray animals. Lettie is meth addict-skinny and rattles on like a lunatic, demanding patent protections for useless inventions and changing her will as often as most people change their pants.

Then there’s an explosion at Lettie’s trailer —

presumably a meth brewing gone awry — and her body is found in the ruins. A new will pops up, leaving everything to Joe, who’s a good guy and signs everything over to Lettie’s oddly nervous son. But wait. What if Lettie actually invented something revolutionary?

How far would an unscrupulous company go to acquire the rights to it?

And how much will the Stones risk to find out?

Clark invests us in the Stones’ personal dramas, and his regional cadences are a refreshing change in this crowded genre (Joe rides a horse and hunts in his free time — imagine!).

Original, smart and breezily amusing, “The Jezebel Remedy” could be the start of a wonderful series. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s damned good on its own.

But that will not do! I dare not let him stay.

Were he to sting me, unlike the bee, he would live to sting again. But I could die, for I am allergic to wasp sting.

In my pantry, I keep a can of bug spray.

No, life is not fair. Not for any of us.

Phssssssssssssst!

— Betty Laird, of Lawrence

Jennifer Wetzel/Special to the Journal-World

THE SCREENLAND ARMOUR THEATER IN KANSAS CITY will host its annual Arts & Crafts Festival on Aug. 21-22.

Taking a tour up North I n my relentless pursuit of new entertainment options in the Kansas City area, I recently discovered an entirely new city just across the river from downtown Kansas City, Mo. This little-known municipality, referred to by natives as “North Kansas City,” appears to be a self-sustaining community complete with movie theaters, restaurants, breweries and dentist offices.

I’m kidding, of course.

But not entirely — North Kansas City (or Kansas City North, as it’s sometimes known) is generally off the radar for most out-of-town visitors. In recent years, however, it’s steadily become more than just a place to kill time when your flight from KCI is delayed.

The best place to start exploring is North Kansas City’s downtown strip along Armour Road, just west of I-35. Readers of this column are already aware of my passion for Le Monde Bakery (308 Armour Road), which serves everything from delicious sugary palmiers to savory chicken curry soup. Le Monde Bakery is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and on Saturday from 6 a.m. to noon.

Cinema buffs can count on a steady lineup of new releases and special engagements

at Screenland Armour (408 Armour Road, screenland.com/armour), which serves dozens of beers and is home to 10 different arcade games in addition to its two historic screens.

On Aug. 21 and 22, Screenland Armour will host the annual Arts & Crafts Beer Festival, which brings together independent filmmakers, musicians and artists and a variety of craft beers.

Find more details at artsandcraftskc.com.

Speaking of beers, North Kansas City is home to two excellent breweries along Burlington Road (Highway 9).

Just around the corner from Armour Road is Cinder Block Brewery (110 E. 18th Ave.), whose year-round offerings include Block IPA, Weathered Wit and Prime Extra Pale Ale. Current seasonal offerings include Rivet Rye (hoppy rye wheat) and Lusus Naturae (farmhouse peach sour).

Check out cinderblockbrewery.com for more current offerings, or visit the brewery from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or from noon to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Cinder Block features live music and a food truck on Saturday nights.

The Big Rip Brewing Company, just down the street at 216 E. Ninth Ave., offers its own refreshing variety of beers brewed

SUNDAY Prime Time WOW DTV DISH 7 PM

7:30

on site, with standouts including the Hathor’s Sweet Brown, Imperial Milk Stout and the Aisle 12 West Coast IPA. Big Rip doesn’t serve food, but the building is connected to El Burrito Loco (another worthwhile North KC destination), and their staff will drop by to take your order from the menus provided at the brewery.

For a list of current beers on tap, visit bigripbrewing.com.

And no sports buff in the Midwest should go without a visit to Chappell’s Restaurant and Sports Museum, a laid-back spot on 323 Armour Road that has served tasty pub grub and displayed a staggering collection of sports memorabilia for nearly three decades.

With artifacts from past World Series, Super Bowls, NCAA championships and bygone sports leagues, Chappell’s has been named among the country’s top sports bars

by Sports Illustrated and USA Today.

Owner Jim Chappell is often present to greet diners and show them around the collection, which could easily be a museum in its own right.

(The food’s good, too.)

Chappell’s is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. More info at chappellsrestaurant.com.

want to reach for a serving of kale and kombucha, head to Green Acres Market, an organic food market that first opened in Wichita in 1996 and expanded to Kansas City 10 years later.

The Kansas City location is at 4175 Mulberry Drive in the Briarcliff Village shopping center, and offers products from a variety of local partners as well as national brands. I’ve found the prices to be reasonable and the staff to be both knowledgeable and friendly. Find more info at greenacres.com.

Young children will enjoy the Kansas City Northern Railroad at 6060 Waukomis Drive, a miniature train line that operates on a half-mile of track.

The group of railroad and history buffs was formed in 1984 when a group of volunteers restored the former Kansas City Zoo train that had operated in Swope Park.

The KCNRR is open from noon to 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, from May through September, as well as holidays. Rides are only 75 cents a pop.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Husband not committed to marriage after affair Dear Annie: Last year, my husband told me that he was having an affair. I was shocked.

All I knew was that he had been drinking excessively and I was concerned.

He told me that the Other Woman “gets him� and that he is in love with her. She makes him feel young again. He was certain that I would let him go, but I refused to throw away 27 years and break up our family. I said I wanted to work on our marriage.

For a while, he made a half-hearted attempt at counseling. Then, the Other Woman became stricken with guilt and decided she doesn’t want to be a home wrecker. She told him to give 100 percent to saving his marriage.

But I can tell he is still not really trying.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

I told him to leave and get counseling or not come back, so he stayed with a friend for a month and got counseling. He is back home now and acts like nothing happened, as if this devastating event that broke my heart never occurred.

I want him to make some kind of verbal commitment, saying he really wants to be married to me. But he won’t. Instead, he wants to see whether

Jenner story gets the E! treatment “I Am Cait� (7 p.m., E!) will spend eight episodes following Caitlyn Jenner as she reflects on her transition from being Olympic champion Bruce Jenner to her new public identity.

She won’t, however, be transitioning away from her role as a cog in the Kardashian publicity machine.

Given the anticipation for this series, E! has been stingy with review screeners. The brief teasers made available pretty much establish the tone.

It opens with a sign announcing that we’ve arrived in Malibu. We watch Jenner adjusting her lipstick in front of a makeup mirror fit for a star as she relates how wonderful it was to have her hair done by professionals for the very first time. After this profound insight, she rides along the beach talking about herself and her “journey� to acceptance and her “new normal.�

This is hardly the first time cable TV has dealt with gender transition. In 2011 OWN broadcast the documentary “Becoming Chaz,� about Chastity Bono’s decision to become a man after years in the spotlight as Sonny and Cher’s daughter. “Chaz� put great emphasis on an unhappy youth and the grimmer technical aspects of surgical procedures.

One has to expect that “Cait� will have a lighter tone. This is, after all, E! — a place where everything, including hot-button social issues, takes a backseat to celebrating celebrity.

Along those lines, “Stewarts and Hamiltons� (8 p.m.) follows, detailing the shenanigans of Kimberly Stewart, Alana Stewart and George Hamilton, among others.

O The hourlong “Answered Prayers� (9 p.m., TLC) profiles people who claim that a loved one was saved from either illness or calamity through the power of prayer. These accounts include the tale of a boy buried under 11 feet of sand, a pastor who survived 37 stab wounds and a family whose car plunged into an icy river. “Prayers� is produced and hosted by Roma Downey. She and her husband, Mark Burnett, have been behind several faithbased series, including “The Bible� and “A.D. The Bible Continues.� Downey also starred in the CBS series “Touched by an Angel.�

Tonight’s other highlights O Intrigue rattles the copper market on “Poldark� on “Masterpiece� (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

O Joe’s secret proves incendiary on “Humans� (8 p.m., AMC).

O Charles puts himself first on “Ballers� (9 p.m., HBO).

O Sudden fame provides opportunities on “Masters of Sex� (9 p.m., Showtime).

we can “reconnect.�

He says he obviously couldn’t honor the commitment he made 27 years ago, and won’t make another until he’s sure.

This man has known me for 30 years and we have three children. He either wants me or he doesn’t. My adult children have lost respect for him, my family hates him, his sisters are angry, and we haven’t told his poor mother because it would kill her.

I hope people realize the amount of pain they cause by believing a fling with a married person is fun.

Even if we work things out, I will never feel the same way about him. I can forgive, but I will never forget.

This waiting is torture. Should I leave?

Am I kidding myself to

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

think he really wants to be with me? — Brokenhearted Dear Brokenhearted: Your husband has not yet let go emotionally of the Other Woman. Right now, any words of commitment would be false.

Some men eventually return to their wives completely, with gratitude that they didn’t abandon their marriages. But there are no guarantees. This is why counseling can be so helpful — for you. Are you better off with him, learning to trust again, or without him, finding a new path? Please talk to a professional and sort out what you need to do for yourself.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

For Sunday, July 26: This year you have quite a few options that revolve around children, love and manifesting your goals. You will make the right choices because you are in harmony with yourself. You will be on the upswing financially, unless you start spending more than you have. A pay raise or promotion is in the offing.

If you are single, you won’t need to maintain that status for long. If you are attached, the two of you will make a major decision and act on it.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You might not be in tune with a situation, but you do have time to make an adjustment.

Tonight: Go along with someone’s whims for the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You have let a loved one call the shots for a while.

You’ll need some downtime. Tonight: Happy at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) +++++ Defer to someone you care about. This person could have his or her head filled with ideas.

Tonight: Say “yes� to fun.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ A friend doesn’t seem to express his or her caring as you do; make that OK. Tonight: Play it easy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Your playfulness won’t be able to be harnessed.

Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Live for the moment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) +++++ You’ll want to speak your mind, but you suddenly might find yourself unwilling to open up.

Tonight: Stay close to home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ Ask questions to receive solid answers. Emphasize better communication. Tonight: Hang out.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Slow down, and remember your budget. For once, let someone else treat. Tonight: Do whatever pleases you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ++++ Be careful when dealing with someone who is an authority figure or who has clout over you.

Tonight: Try something new.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++ Sometimes taking a day off is the perfect solution, especially for you. Tonight: Not to be found.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Every so often you have the opportunity to hang with friends and not worry about your schedule. Tonight: The party goes on.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ Responsibilities will put you in a position where you must take action. Tonight: Happy at home.

ON the COVER

Woodlawn Elementary fourth grade students Jaime Patzel and Bailey Contreras (above) make playdough during STEM Club at the Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence summer session at Pinckney Elementary.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Classmates Ashlynn McDonald and Charlotte Harshaw join Contreras and Patzel (on the cover) to mix another batch of dough.

The students used reasoning and deduction skills to determine what ingredients were needed to make the dough. They learned about the chemistry of making playdough and how materials react differently to other ingredients.

Make playdough at home by combining these ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Set the dough aside for 5-7 minutes, so it will be firmer for molding.

PLAYDOUGH MATERIALS: • 2 C. flour • 1 C. salt • 1 C. cold water • 1 T. vegetable oil • A few drops of food coloring

Tips for Staying Safe on the School Bus: • Follow the directions of the bus driver. • Arrive at the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time. • Stay clear of the roadway while waiting for the bus. • Dress appropriately for weather conditions while waiting for or riding the bus. • During the extreme heat of August, parents may send water bottles with students for the bus ride. • Wait for the bus to stop before boarding. • Wait for the driver to motion to you if crossing the road to board the bus. • Always cross at least ten feet in front of the bus. • Use the handrails when boarding the bus. • Be extra careful when weather is wet or icy, as bus steps can become slippery. • Store your personal belongings in your lap. • Keep your area clean. • Treat bus equipment with respect. • Refrain from horseplay and speak softly while on the bus. • Remain quiet at all railroad crossings, so the driver may listen for warning signals. • Use electronic devices with headphones only. • Keep hands, head and other body parts inside the bus at all times. • Treat the bus driver with respect. • Remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop. • Obtain written permission from the school office to leave the bus at a destination other than your regular stop.

LAWRENCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS’ ANNUAL PARENT NOTICES Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Release of Student Directory Information to the Public and/or Military Recruiters) The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents* certain rights with respect to their student’s education records. These rights are: (1) The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the school receives a request for access. Parents* should submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The school will make arrangements for access and notify the parent* of the time and place where the records may be inspected.

(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent* believes are inaccurate. Parents* may ask the school to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by the parents,* the school will notify the parents* of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.

(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the school as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the school has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational

interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Upon request, the school discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll.

For purposes of FERPA, USD 497 has designated certain information as “directory information,” which may be disclosed for any purpose without prior consent. The primary purpose of this designation is for district use of the information in school publications, such as newsletters, drama playbills, recognition listings, graduation programs, sports team rosters and yearbooks. USD 497 considers the following “directory information:” student name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of teams, dates of attendance, honors received, the most recent previous school attended, class designation and photographs.

Release of Student Directory Information to Military Recruiters In addition, two federal laws: Section 9528 of ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7908), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110), and 10 U.S.C. 503, as amended by section 544, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (P.L. 107-107), require educational agencies to provide military recruiters, upon request, students’ names, addresses and telephone listings.

Parents* wishing to withdraw consent for release of directory information must complete a NonDisclosure of Student Directory Information form available upon request at any school, the district office and www.usd497.org. USD 497 assumes there is no objection to the release of directory information if this signed form is not returned to the school upon enrollment.

(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by USD 497 to comply with these requirements.

The name and address of the office that

administers FERPA are: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20202-5901. *parents, legal guardians and students age 18 or older Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) PPRA affords parents certain rights regarding conduct of surveys, collection and use of information for marketing purposes, and certain physical exams. These include the right to: Consent before students are required to submit to a survey that concerns one or more of the following protected areas if the survey is funded in whole or in part by a program of the U.S. Department of Education: 1. Political affiliations or beliefs of the student or student’s parent; 2. Mental or psychological problems of the student or student’s family; 3. Sex behavior or attitudes; 4. Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating, or demeaning behavior; 5. Critical appraisals of others with whom respondents have close family relationships; 6. Legally recognized privileged relationships, such as with lawyers, doctors, or ministers; 7. Religious practices, affiliations, or beliefs of the student or parents; or 8. Income, other than as required by law to determine program eligibility.

Receive notice and an opportunity to opt a student out of – 1. Any other protected information survey, regardless of funding; 2. Any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening required as a condition of attendance, administered by the school or its agent, and not necessary to protect the immediate health and safety of a student, except for hearing, vision, scoliosis screenings, or any physical exam or screening permitted or required under state law; and 3. Activities involving collection, disclosure, or use of personal information obtained from

students for marketing or to sell or otherwise distribute the information to others.

Inspect, upon request and before administration or use – protected information surveys of students; instruments used to collect personal information from students for any of the above marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes; and instructional material used as part of the educational curriculum.

These rights transfer from the parents to a student who is 18 years old or an emancipated minor under state law.

Lawrence Public Schools USD 497 has developed and adopted policies, in consultation with parents, regarding these rights, as well as arrangements to protect student privacy in the administration of protected information surveys and the collection, disclosure, or use of personal information for marketing, sales, or other distribution purposes.

USD 497 will directly notify parents of these policies at least annually at the start of each school year and after any substantive changes. USD 497 will also directly notify parents of students who are scheduled to participate in the specific activities or surveys and will provide an opportunity for the parent to opt his or her child out of participation of the specific activity or survey. Parents will also be provided an opportunity to review any pertinent surveys.

Parents who believe their rights have been violated may file a complaint with: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington, D.C. 20202-5901.

Make your next meeting

Unmistakable in Lawrence

By Toni Dixon, eXplore Lawrence

Just about everyone has been to a conference or board meeting where the information was helpful and the networking was important, but what really made the event a success were the after-hours activities and the fun everyone had after the work was done.

Lawrence is a place where just that difference between “it was okay” and “that was great” can happen. Lawrence is an entertaining and lively place, with a unique downtown main street, vibrant art and live music scenes, and a little bit of quirkiness thrown in just for the fun of it.

Helping event planners connect with the opportunities in Lawrence that make an event unmistakable is where eXplore Lawrence comes in.

“At eXplore Lawrence we believe a successful meeting is more than the hotel rooms or the meeting facilities. It’s the experience,” said Ryan Ficken.

“Lawrence provides that kind of unique experience.

We think planning an event in Lawrence brings with it the extras that can mean people look forward to the meeting and, afterwards, call it a success.”

As the tourism and conference organization of Lawrence, eXplore Lawrence (formerly Lawrence Convention & Visitors Bureau) can assist with the details. If it’s a conference, an annual meeting, a family reunion, a wedding or a sporting event, eXplore Lawrence can help with hotel accommodations and meeting spaces, catering and dining, entertainment and more.

Most importantly, eXplore Lawrence can ensure that the fun, excitement and distinctiveness of Lawrence add something very special to each gathering.

“There is always something fun happening in Lawrence and eXplore Lawrence helps event planners add the quirky, different and entertaining experiences

that make a meeting great,” Ficken said. That could include dinner at one of Lawrence’s award-winning restaurants, drinks at a brewery or a speak easy, or an after-hours shopping trip and discounts to some of Lawrence’s one-of-a-kind boutiques. It might mean event planners are aware there is live music, an outdoor concert or an author signing books while their group is in town. It might mean scheduling a behind-the-scenes tour at Waxman Candles or booking a block of tickets to a Broadway production at the Lied Center. “These are the unusual and unexpected extras that attendees love about meetings in Lawrence,” Ficken said. “It is that out-of-the-ordinary experience that can make a routine annual meeting something unmistakable for those who attend.”

In addition to the unusual extras, eXplore Lawrence can assist with the primary needs of getting just the right accommodations for each group, such as choices in: • meeting spaces from professional and elegant to artsy and whimsical, • accommodations from hotel convention center or historic hotel to bed-and-breakfast cozy, • delicious catering and dining options, and much more.

Choosing the best location can make the next event a success. With help from eXplore Lawrence, it could be one meeting attendees can’t wait to put on the calendar.

Groups can arrange special tours and behind-the-scene experiences through eXplore Kansas.

Meeting & Event Planner

WHAT SHOULD THE MEETING/ CONFERENCE ORGANIZER AVOID DOING WHEN PLANNING OR CONDUCTING A BUSINESS EVENT? Avoid scheduling important presentations or points of discussions late in the meeting to get the most out of participants. Also, the environment planners choose for their meeting can be as important as the agenda. A worthy meeting environment will increase productivity while decreasing distractions and guests will be more comfortable and ready to focus on the tasks at hand.

WHAT TYPES OF FOODS ARE BEST TO SERVE OR MOST AFFORDABLE? A simple assorted salads and sandwich display is a healthy, affordable option for lunch meetings as well as a warm, hearty soup, chili and baked potato bar in the cold weather months. Add a sweet and salty snack break or fruit and cheese display for an afternoon snack. It’s important to keep snacks and beverages offered to get the most productivity from your guests.

WHAT AUDIO VISUAL NEEDS SHOULD ONE PLAN ON COMPLIMENTARY AND WHAT SHOULD ONE RENT OR BRING? A podium with microphone and basic sound system and a wireless connection are often complimentary. One should bring a projector and screen if they wish to avoid rental fees.

HOW LONG SHOULD A MEETING/CONFERENCE GO BETWEEN BREAKS AND WHAT SHOULD BE THE TOTAL DURATION TIME? 15 minute breaks every 60 to 90 minutes allows for your guests to refresh and refocus so they get the most out of the meeting time.

Guests need time to digest the information, take care of personal matters or simply have quiet time so they can be most attentive during the meeting. While meeting planners want to get the most out of the allotted time, be willing to adapt and take more breaks if you notice there is deterioration in attention and participation.

WHAT ARE THE BEST AND MOST ENTERTAINING PRACTICES TO USE FOR TEAM BUILDING? A golf specific team building activity we like to use is a putting contest… blindfolded. In pairs, one person verbally guides his/her partner, a blindfolded person as they putt the golf ball in the hole. Requires patience, communication, and trying to understand from another's point of view in order to successfully putt the ball in to the hole. Also a traditional 9-hole golf scramble is a great team building event for the novice or experienced golfer as all members contribute and the contest can incorporate fun, non-competitive events i.e. hitting a golf ball with a bat off the tee box or seeing who can hit a marshmallow the furthest. Golf is a great opportunity for employees to get out of the office, enjoy the outdoors and have fun while teambuilding.

Celebrating the

Drink!

By Mike Gehrs, Arterra

Let’s talk about the ever-popular “signature drink."

If you are hosting a full bar, a signature drink is a welcome addition to the beverage menu. There is seldom an additional expense if your signature drink can be made with ingredients already in your beverage package. Expect to pay extra for specialty bar items and custom garnishes.

When hosting a beer and wine bar, a signature drink can be a way of offering 1-2 spirits to your guests without the expense of a full liquor bar. Your catering representative should be able to quote the additional expense of adding a signature drink to your package. In some instances providing your own liquor is an

option. Non-alcohol beverage service is a great opportunity to have one or more signature drinks to elevate your guest’s experience.

Here are a few tips for serving a signature drink.

• Display your pre-made signature drink in an interesting dispenser. Guests love seeing a colorful beverage choice-especially if you keep it seasonal.

• Choose an appropriate glass. The most popular are champagne glasses (only if there is champagne in your signature drink), wine glasses (especially oversized

wine glasses), martini glasses (you can put just about anything in them) and classic highball glasses, (especially for darker whiskey drinks.)

The garnish should be special. You can find a million ideas online. Again, keep it seasonal.

Have your signature drink tray-passed as well as offered at the bar.

Of course you’re going to name your drink, so don’t stop there. Framed menus at the bar, with your signature drink featured, can go a long way in personalizing your event. Many classic cocktails have an interesting history that’s fun to frame and display.

Don’t make your signature drink too sweet and avoid offering shots.

The beverages at any event should be as enticing and as enjoyable for your guests as the ambiance and food!

Cheers!y

Wedding Planning Tips & Expectations

By Jena Dick, J.Lynn Bridal

So you’re engaged and have your Pinterest board full of wedding ideas, now what? It’s a very exciting and potentially overwhelming time. Where do you start? Who do you contact?

There are so many questions that need answering before the big day. Try to not get lost is the “fluff” and focus on what is really important to you and your future spouse. Here is a simplified 7 Step Process to consider when planning that special day.

1. Breathe & Relax Take a deep breath, relax and talk to your fiancé about what is most important to the both of you and build on that.

• This involves size of the wedding, location, budget and the date.

These are all very important topics to discuss and agree on before diving into the planning process.

Note: Along the way friends, family and wedding professionals are all going to have an opinion and try to involve themselves in your planning process. Accept the advice, but don’t let others plan their ideal wedding through you, unless of course you follow step #4.

2. Location/Venue • Securing the venues or locations should be at the top of the list because they are the foundation of your wedding. In a perfect world you would be able to call any place you want and book the date of your choosing. Venues can book up at least a year in advance, so if you are set on a specific venue there is a good chance you will need to be flexible with your wedding date.

• Indoor/Outdoor – If you are a worrier, keep everything inside!!

Kansas weather is unpredictable!

3. Photography Hire not only a good photographer, but one you want to spend a lot of time with!

• Your photographer/videographer will be at your side the entire day, so consider not only the quality of their work but also how well you mesh.

• Remember the pictures or video you take are what keep the wonderful memories alive!

• Invitations/Save the Dates – professional, online, handmade/DIY • Flowers • Officiant • Rentals / Decor • Hotels • Registry • Honeymoon 6. Communication • Make sure the people you are involving in your wedding are well informed. Communication is key!

• Don’t blindside people with last minute expenses or plans.

7. Enjoy Yourself • Be sure to enjoy your wedding day.

Once the day is here, just go with it.

• Don’t sweat the small things. Let others deal with any issues.

• The day will fly by, so enjoy every second of it. It’s a special celebration that you will never forget.

4. Wedding Coordinator • If you planning isn’t your strength or you just don’t have time for it, hire some help.

• This is not a job for mom, sister or best friend. They can assist, but it’s not their job to run the show.

• A coordinator can be whatever you want them to be. They can help you plan the entire wedding, suggest vendors and even be there at your wedding to make sure everything runs smoothly. This allows you to enjoy your day without worries or mishaps.

5. The Extra Fluff This is everything else that will take some discussion, but are typically tasks that can be divided between the two of you.

• Wedding Party – bridesmaids, groomsmen, and all other attendants.

• Food – style of food, caterer, style of service, drinks & alcohol, cake and dessert.

• Music – band, disc jockey, iPod • Attire – buy, rent, make

… at least according to Ailecia Ruscin of Oh Snap! Photography. Ruscin says that the worst case scenario for the happy couple is to have a photographer show up to the wedding venue with no idea what's going on. Those who book with Oh Snap! will definitely not have that problem. Ruscin explains that the Oh Snap! experience focuses on the planning stage well ahead of the big day. First, there's an initial meeting where the parties see how they'll work together.

Next up, engagement photos to give Ruscin a chance to discover how the couple interacts with one another. The final step is a 90 minute consultation just before the wedding where Ruscin takes the couple on a step by step walkthrough of the event. “We talk about their 'must haves' and if they prefer getting those moments via candids or posed photos.

Then I make a list of those requirements and bring an assistant with me to the wedding to keep me on task and check each item off the list,” explains Ruscin.

“That way, every shot they want is guaranteed.” Ruscin says that she tries to focus on making the process as simple as possible for the wedding party, and she finds that clients love having an organized schedule in place for their wedding day.

In addition to prepping and planning, Ruscin offers some fresh takes on traditional wedding photos, such as “first touch” shots for couples who don't want to see each other until the bride walks down the aisle and packages for courthouse weddings that capture the ceremony but then take the couple around town to get some “prettier” shots than a basic courtroom setting might offer.

Such attention to detail and to capturing the essence of the couple seems to be paying off for Oh Snap! - Ruscin is booked for 2015 and well on the way to 18

filling her 2016 calendar as well. She tries to limit herself to one or two weddings per weekend but does have some room in her schedule for smaller-scale weekday weddings. Ruscin usually keeps her travel radius to around 60 miles but she will sometimes go out of the area – like the time that a couple flew her to New York City and paid all of her expenses to capture their ceremony. Oh Snap! has also won a slew of awards, most recently “Best Photographer” in the 2015 Best of Lawrence poll. In addition to wedding photography, Ruscin has been adding options for kids’ party packages and family portraits, from maternity shoots up to yearly updates of growing families.

Oh Snap!’s services extend beyond traditional photography. Ruscin’s Photobooth has been a hit since she set up her first booth in her bedroom during a 1999 house party. More and more of her friends requested the Photobooth at gatherings and today Oh Snap! has three booths available for rental. Unlike the traditional curtained photo booths that give participants four photos on a strip of film, Oh Snap!’s booth is open and digital, with prints available for download from the business’s website.

“Our Photobooth doesn’t give the instant satisfaction of those strips, but the strips aren’t archival quality so they won’t last as long as ours can,” says Ruscin. “Plus, most people take cell phone pictures of those photo strips so they can post a digital image on social media; our system allows the snaps to be downloaded from our website so they can be easily shared on Facebook, Twitter, and the like.”

Ruscin says the informality and openness of the Oh Snap! Photobooth makes for some great pictures since the subjects feel free to express themselves, and Ruscin provides a wide variety of props with booth rental to make the experience more unique.

Rustic & Elegant The Perfect Space

By Nora Cox

Freedom is the name of the game at the W Banquet Hall, and that’s just how Teresa Wolff likes it. Wolff and her husband Mike, owners of the space at 704 Connecticut, both hail from small towns and when they purchased the W Banquet Hall in 2011, she wanted to bring a certain aesthetic. “In a small town, if you need an event space, you book the community building, someone hands you the keys, and the space is yours until you turn those keys back in. We wanted to keep some of that feeling.”

Customers who consider the W Banquet Hall may be surprised at the lack of rules they must follow, especially when comparing the W to other event spaces. Wolff says the hall has no restrictions on food and alcohol, which means renters can bring in exactly what they want to make their event their own. Tables and chairs are provided and set up by the W staff, but renters can use any caterer or take advantage of the hall’s kitchen space and bring in their own food. The hall doesn’t employ any bartenders or serving staff that renters must use, allowing for more choice on who staffs the event – or who doesn’t.

“We think of ourselves as a ‘DIY event center,’” Wolff says. “In exchange for doing some of the work themselves, customers find they can save a lot of money.” Such freedom doesn’t mean that Wolff is completely hands off though. “I will guide you every step of the way, but it’s truly your event.”

Located at 704 Connecticut Street, the W Banquet Hall is only steps away from Massachusetts Street which gives customers the flavor of Downtown Lawrence in a more peaceful setting. Like most Downtown spaces, the building has had a long and varied history, including a stint as a furniture store.

Wolff says lots of visitors have their own memories of the space, but some aren’t as accurate as others.

If you’re looking for a space where you can do exactly what you want to do, check us out.”

“This has never been a horse barn, so I don’t know where people get that one.” That doesn’t mean the actual features are uninteresting, though. The stone front provides a classic entryway, and the beams inside originally made up a walking bridge that took Lawrencians over the river in the 1930s. Since buying the space nearly four years ago, the Wolffs have tried to make an addition or upgrade every year, like new mirrors and the installation of a bar area. The end result of this mixing of old and new is a blend of rustic and elegant, keeping with the small town aesthetic that the Wolff’s envisioned back in 2011.

Teresa Wolff says she has plenty of ideas for future improvements and upgrades, but it’s too early to get into specifics. In its current form, the W Banquet Hall can accommodate up to 275 guests, but Wolff says that most events run from 200225 attendees with the addition of tables and other decor. In addition to weddings, the hall also hosts private parties, graduations, corporate events, fundraisers, and holiday gatherings. Since the space is so easily customizable, Wolff says the hall recently hosted a play for a local school that lacked its own auditorium, and she welcomes the chance for similar non-traditional uses in the future. “If you’re looking for a space where you can do exactly what you want to do, check us out.”
