Topeka — One of the most hotly contested primaries in this year’s elections in Kansas is also the one drawing the least public attention.

Five Republicans are vying for the nomination to become the state’s next insurance commissioner, replacing Republican Sandy Praeger, of Lawrence, who is stepping down after three terms. The winner of the primary will face Democrat Dennis Anderson, of Overland Park, in the general election.

Praeger is currently the only moderate Republican holding statewide elected office and has been an outspoken supporter of an insurance program that most of the current candidates oppose: the federal health reform law known as the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.

Mette M. Berger, MD, PhD, of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and her colleagues treated 28 patients whose average age was 65 years. Some of the patients received three intravenous infusions of 200 mg of emulsified fish oils 12 and two hours before and again immediately after undergoing bypass surgery. Other patients received a saline solution as a placebo.

Patients receiving the fish oils had significant increases in omega-3 levels in their blood and heart (based on a biopsy performed during surgery). Significantly, these patients had a smaller increase in post-surgery interleukin-6—one of the most potent inflammation-promoting substances in the body— compared with patients receiving placebos.

In addition, blood triglyceride levels decreased after each fish oil infusion. A day after surgery, patients receiving fish oils had lower blood sugar, lactate, and blood carboxyhemoglobin levels—all positive signs—compared with the placebo group.

Judge steps down in midst of capital murder case Topeka (ap) — A Kansas judge presiding over a capital murder trial has recused himself from the case, forcing a new trial date and the rehearing of motions on which he already had ruled.

Shawnee County District Judge Mark Braun stepped down on Friday in response to a complaint filed by Phillip Cheatham, who was convicted of capital murder in 2005 and sentenced to death.

The Kansas Supreme Court overturned Cheatham’s capital murder conviction and death sentence last year because of ineffective counsel. His new trial was scheduled to start Jan. 5, but Braun’s decision will push those proceedings back, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Any of the 82 motions filed in the case that already have been ruled upon will have to be argued again. The defense and prosecution were waiting on rulings for 37 motions that already have been argued.

Cheatham’s complaint with Braun stems from the judge promising a fair trial in May before he had ruled on motions. Cheatham contends defense motions, which include a challenge to the state’s death penalty, require the trial to be dismissed.

Established in Tradition

“That, to me, shows an utter disregard for his oath, for the constitution, for my rights and for his duty,” Cheatham said in a June interview with The Capital-Journal at Shawnee County Jail.

The Kansas Supreme Court ordered a new trial for Cheatham in 2013 when it overturned his capital murder conviction and death sentence for the Dec. 13, 2003, slayings of Annette Roberson and Gloria Jones.

He also is charged with the attempted first-degree murder of Annetta Thomas.

Chief Judge Evelyn Wilson will have to appoint a new judge to the case.

“We stand ready to try this case in front of which ever judge it is assigned to,” chief Shawnee County District Attorney Jacqie Spradling said.

BOBBIE BRANDENBURG LEAPS FROM HIS LAWN MOWER AFTER BEING FLAGGED OUT by an official during the “Mowbashers” derby at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Eighteen competitors duked it out in the inaugural derby Saturday evening.

‘Mowbashers’ derby makes its debut with a bang at the Douglas County Fair “

By Joanna Hlavacek

It’s like rugby. There’s way more tactics than it looks like, but it’s still brutal.”

There’s a method to Phil Gordon’s Twitter: @HlavacekJoanna

madness.

Over the past three years, the Carbondale resident has competed in more than 15 lawn mower demolition derbies, a variation on the more traditional automobile-based motor sport. Sure, there’s a lot of smashing, smoke, flying mud and general chaos involved, Gordon admits, but the sport is deceptively strategic.

He described his game plan Saturday evening as a “bounce between offense and defense,” or protecting his mower’s rear end while trying to knock out opponents’ spark plugs, belts and transaxles.

— Phil Gordon, competitor in the “Mowbashers” derby

“It’s like rugby,” Gordon said before riding his 1986 Craftsman GT3 into the Douglas County Fairgrounds’ outdoor arena. “There’s way more tactics than it looks like, but it’s still brutal.”

Gordon, 37, was one of 18 competitors at the fair’s inaugural “Mowbashers” derby Saturday night.

About 300 spectators packed the stands to watch riders ages 10 and

older crash into each other atop riding lawn mowers.

Though medics were on hand throughout the evening, event organizer Dave Brandenburg said riders underwent extra precautions. Mower blades were removed, leg guards were installed and spark plugs were replaced, among other alterations.

Austin Barone’s journey to becoming an app developer started when he applied for an internship at Google.

The Lawrence native and Kansas University student planned to impress the technology giant by creating hardware, modeled after Google Glass, that would allow football players to view an interactive playbook on their visors during practice.

While he didn’t have the capital necessary to create the hardware, he did the next best thing: He developed the digital playbook software.

The result is Just Play, the new playbook app created by Barone’s company, Just Play Sports Solutions, which he partnered on with Andy Wachter, a senior web Barone developer at Sony Pictures Television.

“I felt like if you can save coaches time and get your players to learn the material faster, at the end of the day that’s going to help your play- KANSAS ers develop and learn faster. UNIVERSITY And the name of the game is player development,” said Barone, a kicker for the KU football team, who was recently awarded the Young Entrepreneurs Scholarship from Leawood-based Tortoise Capital Advisors.

Football coaches often print plays out and hand them out to players. Barone, a junior majoring in accounting and finance, believes it would be much more efficient if

Features magazine redesigned to align more with readers’ interests I hope you’ve noticed our new Thursday features section called Lawrence Living. Beautifully designed and edited by features editor Jon Ralston, the section is meant to make readers’ lives easier.

The section is part of an evolution you’ve probably noticed over the past couple of years with our weekly features magazine.

We’ve been trying to hit on the right mix of Julie Wright the most helpful features, and ultimately decided that it also was important to change the shape and size of the section.

Remember Go? It came out on Mondays and was a tabloidsized magazine with a lot of fun local columns, a fitness feature, Dr. Wes Crenshaw’s Double

Take, a fashion feature, a food feature and Linda Cottin’s everpopular Fix-It Chick. But as we looked at the section, it became difficult to articulate what it was supposed to be and who our target readers were. That’s important not just to us as journalists, but to those who help us fund the enterprise. Advertisers want to know who they’re reaching.

Last summer we revamped the section to be far more shopping focused. We called it CheckOut, and moved some popular nonshopping features to other days — the food feature to Wednesday, Double Take to our Tuesday WellCommons health section, for example. We added more fashion and shopping coverage. And as 2014 moved along we felt the section was gaining traction.

We realized, however, that for our own purposes — ad sizes, printing and the like — the section really needed to be what we call a “broadsheet,” the

full-size page that the rest of the newspaper is printed on. As we made that change, we took the opportunity to fine-tune the changes we made last year, adding new features (I think everyone missed a pet column) and retiring others.

“We wanted to create a section designed to make the day-to-day lives of its readers easier while entertaining them at the same time,” Jon says. “Lawrence Living is especially meant for heads of households who are interested in topics such as shopping, fashion, cooking, family activities, gardening and DIY home projects. We have some great writers who are experts in all of these fields and who are passionate about what they do. People who pick up a copy of Lawrence Living will learn something new they can apply to their everyday lives.”

Jon’s biggest inspiration

Library CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the sight of such delight over books was reassuring.

“Does a heart good to see this many people flood into a library,” Sailler said.

The library’s grand opening had a full schedule of events, from “celebrity storytime” with Big Jay to a “library luau” beach party with treats, crafts, games and music.

Still, the favorite activity for some attendees was sifting through the newly stocked bookshelves and reading in chairs next to the sprawling windows throughout the building.

Lawrence Resident Bill Vermooten was one such attendee and already had his nose in a novel just a half hour after the library opened.

LAWRENCE • STATE

.

“I loved the old library, and this one looked like it was going to be interesting,” Vermooten said. “I’ll have to get used to the new one, but this is very nice.”

Part of the draw for some was the “interesting” look of the library.

Declan Patrick, 8, said he was excited about the new library so he could read his favorite book series, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney, and the new design of the building.

“When I grow up I want to be an architect, and it has a lot of architecture,” Patrick said. “It’s not just a square and a roof, it has a lot of windows, and it’s really big.”

With its modern appeal and broad expansion of 20,000 square feet, the building was designed to foster a love of novels, Lawrence Public Library employee Mary Lynn Stuart said. A children’s room and “teen zone” are

smoking in public buildings and within 10 feet of entrances, many people openly disobey it.

“It seems that the law is backfiring, so that you have more smoking affecting the public because all the smokers go outdoors,” said DuPont, who relocated to Kansas with his family in October. “Really for me, the downtown is one reason why we moved to Lawrence, so we don’t want to breathe smoke there.”

DuPont has a handful of signatures on his petition so far, and hopes to eventually take it before the City Commission to ask its members to outlaw smoking downtown.

Lawrence’s ban on smoking in restaurants and

I think it’s a little ridiculous. It’s bad enough you’ve got to smoke outside or so far away from a door. Just get over it.”

— 45-year-old Lawrence resident on the proposed smoking ban bars, which went into effect a decade ago this month, was itself sparked by a citizen complaining to the commissioners.

Across the country, smoking bans in city parks, beaches and other common areas have been on the rise in recent years; New York City famously outlawed smoking in outdoor public areas in 2011. But while the dangers of secondhand smoke are clear, much of the research on it has taken place in indoor settings.

James King, fire marshal for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire-Medical, said he can’t recall the last citation his depart-

ment gave out for violating the local smoking ordinance. He said there’s been maybe a couple to a half dozen a year since it went into effect.

“There’s been a lot of good compliance in the city,” he said. “Maybe not surprisingly, there seems to be a lot of selfregulation. People will complain to the person smoking and they’ll stop or move further away.”

Lawrence claims collector Lindsey Frye signed DuPont’s petition, as she believes the current smoking ban just pushes smokers onto the sidewalk by pedestrians.

She also says that if a city as big as New York can

In the teen zone, soon-to-be Lawrence High School freshman Jalen Atkinson, 14, played a video game on an Xbox gaming system with friend Ryan Snyder, also 14. Atkinson said when he first came to the library, he was blown away — and that the fancy new features will bring him back again.

“I was amazed when I saw it,” Atkinson said. “I’m probably going to come to the library a lot more now.”

The festivities continued throughout Saturday with the library luau lasting from 2 to 4 p.m., a dinner and a movie with downtown restaurants and live music at 7 p.m. and a showing of “Ghostbusters Begins” at 9 p.m on the library lawn.

Derby CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

With his trusty mower at his side, Gordon felt cool, calm and collected before the beginning of his heat.

Three years ago, over the span of a few weekends, Gordon and his employees at the custom paint shop he owns worked to overhaul the machine for competition.

With its bright-green paint job and the word “Grasshopper” emblazoned on its side, the mower looked like pretty fierce competition.

Still, even “Grasshopper” has its limits, Gordon said.

Insurance CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But Praeger says whoever is elected will soon learn there is a lot more to the office of insurance commissioner than Obamacare.

“First of all they need to recognize the most important part of the job is consumer protection and education and advocacy,” she said in a recent interview. “We regulate the companies in such a way that they adhere to our state laws and service the contracts appropriately, and pay claims appropriately.”

And with more than 57,000 Kansans now receiving health insurance through the program, she doubts whether anything will be done to repeal it in Kansas, no matter who is elected.

“I think it would be pretty unpopular to be advocating that those people not have that,” Praeger said.

The five Republicans vying for the GOP nomination to succeed her are Beverly Gossage, a Eudora insurance agent; state Sen. Clark Schultz, of Lindsborg; David Powell, an insurance professional from El Dorado; Ken Selzer, a Leawood accountant and insurance executive; and Johnson County Commissioner John Toplikar, of Olathe.

Beverly Gossage Gossage boasts strong ties to the Lawrence community. She grew up in Gossage the family that owns Kastl Plumbing in Lawrence and taught at Deerfield school before going into the insurance business. She is now an

independent agent and owns a company that specializes in health savings accounts.

Born in Wichita, she grew up in the Kansas City area. She earned an associate’s degree from Ft. Scott Community College and later a bachelor’s degree in education from Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg.

Gossage said she vehemently opposes the federal health care law and recently signed a pledge from the group Independent Women’s Voice to work for its repeal. And she thinks there’s a lot that a state insurance commissioner can do about it.

“The first thing we have to do is encourage the health care compact,” Gossage said, referring to a bill passed by the Kansas Legislature this year. That law seeks Congress’ permission to form a group with other states to receive those states’ share of federal health care spending as a block grant and administer it under their own laws, side-stepping the Affordable Care Act. Gossage said she would use the office to advocate for congressional passage of a bill allowing that to happen.

Clark Shultz Before he was appointed to fill a vacant seat in the Senate this year, Shultz C l a r k Shultz served 17 years in the Kansas House, including 10 years as chairman of the House Insurance Committee. Outside the Legislature, he works as a compliance auditor for a national title insurance underwriter and is president of a title company in Wichita.

Of the five candidates, he has been the least vitriolic about the Affordable Care Act. “Until Congress is able to stop Obamacare at the federal level, states must remain diligent in protecting their citizens,” Shultz said in a statement on his campaign website. “The insurance commissioner will be responsible for helping consumers through the many changes.”

Shultz agrees with Praeger that consumer protection is the top priority of the office, saying the “reason the department exists is to protect Kansas consumers. Everything that’s done — licensing agents; making sure policies sold are approved; making sure we have adequate reserves — all of that is making sure individuals are covered.”

But Shultz concedes that in candidate forums and town hall meetings on the campaign trail, questions about the Affordable Care Act come up frequently.

“If you’re talking about changing the law, obviously it’s a federal law.

That will have to be initiated by Congress,” Shultz said. “The department, as I see it, is there to help if there are some rough corners in what Congress does.”

David Powell David Powell is an independent insurance agent in El Dorado and author Powell of “ObamaCare Unwrapped,” an ebook published by Amazon, that is critical of the federal health care law.

“One of the big differences between me and the other candidates is I’ve read the health care law and wrote a book on it,” Powell said.

Sunday, July 27, 2014

Powell ran for insurance commissioner in 2010, when he tried unsuccessfully to challenge Praeger in the Republican primary.

He said one of the biggest problems in the program is that people are asked to shop for health insurance themselves through an online “exchange” without the help of a qualified agent to guide them through the process, which means people run the risk of buying policies that don’t fit their needs.

But Powell said that if elected, there are other insurance issues he wants to address besides the health care law, such as helping individuals whose homeowners policies are canceled due to weather-related claims.

“There are lots of other issues that are more important than health care law,” he said.

Powell grew up in a military family and attended the University of Nebraska, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. He attended graduate school at NU and Wayne State College. He also holds advanced college degree designations in several areas of the insurance industry.

Ken Selzer K e n Selzer, of Leawood, is an accountant and executive managing Selzer editor with Aon Benfield, a Londonbased global insurance services firm with offices in Kansas City. He previously served on the Fairway City Council and is now making his first run for statewide office.

Selzer said there are other issues such as affordability and availability for homeowners insur-

ance, and minimum limits on auto insurance. But he said issues about health insurance are paramount in the election.

“The big one right now is Obamacare and health insurance,” he said.

Selzer grew up on a family farm near Goessel in Marion County and graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in accounting.

He later earned a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Southern California.

Selzer said he opposes expanding Medicaid.

That was originally mandated under the law, but the U.S. Supreme Court made it optional when it ruled that Congress lacks constitutional authority to impose such a mandate on states.

“I think many people who would receive Medicaid in an expansion, many of them have health insurance in the private market already through their employer,” he said.

“Many who don’t have access already are ablebodied working adults.”

John Toplikar J o h n Toplikar is a Johnson County commissioner and former state Toplikar representative from Olathe. He also served previously on

the Olathe City Council.

Of the five candidates, he is the only one who does not have a campaign website. He did not return calls requesting an interview.

His campaign does have a Facebook page, which says he voted “no” on every proposed tax increase he has faced, and pledges to continue his cause to cut wasteful spending.

In a candidate survey filled out for KSN-TV in Wichita and posted on the station’s website, Toplikar vowed to oppose the Affordable Care Act in any way possible.

“I will use all the power and authority vested in the Kansas Insurance Commissioner’s office to oppose and repeal this law,” Toplikar wrote. “I will continue to work with the Kansas Attorney General in determining what we can do to fight the implementation of the ACA and its new taxes.”

Derby CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

It is not necessarily a cheap one, though.

For $1,500 for a rear end, $3,000 for a motor that can take a licking, and $500 for the steel that surrounds you, you can have a car that looks like your teenage son has practiced parallel parking at 55 miles an hour.

Well, assuming you have the brains to build the car. They don’t sell demo derby cars at the dealership, and building them is more complex than you may think.

“There is a lot of science involved,” says Green, who is a welder and farmer by trade.

It was science that caused Green to replace the standard rear car tires with something resembling large lawn tractor tires. The smaller wheels not only allow for more tire speed, but also change the way the car bends upon impact.

Derby drivers pay attention to that sort of thing. Green spends a lot of time figuring out just where to add reinforcing welds to the frame of the car, and he even has developed his own theory about how high a bumper should be placed and at what angle it should set in order to deliver maximum impact. And while you may hear some auto commercials about new tires that will let you drive on a flat for a few miles, that doesn’t impress many derby drivers. They came up with that idea long ago. Green — who runs in about a dozen derbies a year — has a method for placing a tire inside a tire, so that a flat doesn’t take him out of the running for a trophy.

Building derby cars also certainly isn’t for the lazy. Green estimates that he spends about 40 hours a week working on his derby car. When I chatted with him, he arrived at the rural Eudora shop about 6:30 p.m. and wouldn’t leave until about 11:30 p.m.

For all that time and money, if you have the lone car to survive a derby, you can win about $2,000 at most events But what are you?

Crazy? You don’t do derbies for the money.

“They’re just a great

“

I figure we’ll all be out in a Prius or Geo Metros, seeing what damage we can do.”

— John Green, demolition derby driver

way to keep you out of trouble,” says Gary Russell, a friend of Green’s who has been driving derby cars since 2008.

And that’s the magic of a demolition derby: You can turn a decent car into something that looks like an empty Budweiser can at a redneck party and not be in a lick of trouble. In fact, if you do it well enough, you’ll even get a trophy for it.

Green, 25, won the very first heat he entered at 14 years old, and has been hooked ever since. This Douglas County demo derby will be a bit different, though. It will be the first one without his mentor, Bruce Neis, who gave him space in a shop and a whole lot else when he needed it. Neis died earlier this year.

“A win this year would be really special,” Green says.

Win or not, it will be intense. Almost any demo driver will tell you that is the most powerful appeal of the sport.

“It is live action,” Russell says.

Green says your head is “constantly on a swivel” when you are in the cockpit. There are rules in place that are supposed to prevent collisions where a car directly hits the driver’s side door of a competitor. But rules work better on paper than in the middle of a dirt arena surrounded by cheering fans.

“Accidents happen,” Green says.

Most cars — at least in the upper division that Green runs in — have steel tubing 2 to 3 inches thick welded into the doors, dash and other areas surrounding the driver.

Almost every car in a demo derby also has something else: a story. The demo derby circuit is a tight one — Green estimates he knows about 90 percent of all the drivers at any derby — so everyone knows everyone else’s story. They know about how this guy cheated at this.

Or how that guy has a feud with this other guy. Or how that guy and this guy’s girlfriend ... There are all

types of stories.

“There is a lot of drama,” Green says.

“You know how you watch a soap opera on TV? Imagine that with cars running into each other.”

But there is a question about how much longer the show will run. Green says he remembers how there used to be about 100 derby cars in the Lawrence area. Now, he guesses that number is closer to 30. The Douglas County derby still attracts some drivers from outside the area, so there is hope that there will be a field of 50 or so.

There’s also hope that the sport is slowly making a comeback.

Many derbies, including the Douglas County one, now run a “hobo class,” which is a lesser division that limits the modifications that can be made to a car, which in turn reduces the amount of money teams have to spend.

But there is another problem facing the sport. Perhaps you have noticed: Cars aren’t made out of steel anymore. The Crown Victorias are the most popular derby car currently because they were among the last to have steel bodies. But they don’t make Crown Victorias anymore, which means the clock is ticking on the sport.

But Green is optimistic that demolition derbies will still be around decades from now.

After all, we all need to destroy something every now and then.

And the world would be better off if it was a Crown Victoria instead of what we normally choose.

So, don’t worry.

Green has a plan for when Crown Victorias aren’t so plentiful.

“I figure we’ll all be out in a Prius or Geo Metros, seeing what damage we can do,” he says.

If they can catch a Honda Civic, sign me up.

Lawrence l A project is underway to construct a new diamond interchange at Kansas Highway 10 and Bob Billings Parkway/15th Street in Lawrence. Work will take place during daylight hours, Monday through Friday, with some occasional Saturday work. Starting on Monday, crews will begin setting traffic control for the project. Early project work will include clearing vegetation in preparation for grading work that will take place adjacent to K-10 for the new interchange. There will be minimal to no traffic impacts with this first phase as work is taking place off the existing roadway. Motorists can expect minor adjacent roadway closures as project work progresses.

The overall scheduled completion date for the project is early November 2015. l Learnard Street from East 15th Street to Forest Avenue will be closed to through traffic from Monday through Thursday for water main replacement.

Israel extends peace; Hamas opens fire Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip (ap) — Hamas resumed rocket fire Saturday on Israel after rejecting Israel’s offer to extend a humanitarian cease-fire, the latest setback in international efforts to negotiate an end to the Gaza war.

Despite the Hamas rejection, Israel’s Cabinet decided to extend a truce for 24 hours, until midnight tonight. However, it warned that its military would respond to any fire from Gaza and would continue to demolish Hamas military tunnels during this period.

The temporary lull on Saturday saw Palestinians return to neighborhoods reduced to rubble and allowed medics to collect close to 150 bodies, Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra said.

With the retrieval of the corpses, the number of Palestinians killed reached 1,047 in 19 days of fighting, while more than 6,000 were wounded, he said.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and European foreign ministers, meeting in Paris, had hoped to transform the cease-fire into a more sustainable truce. That effort was thrown into doubt with the Hamas rejection of the extension.

A PALESTINIAN WOMAN CARRIES HER BELONGINGS past the rubble of houses destroyed by earlier Israeli strikes Saturday in Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip. Israel agreed to continue its cease-fire for another 24 hours, while Hamas resumed firing rockets at Israel.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said any truce must include a withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and that tens of thousands of displaced people must be allowed to return to their homes. Israel’s current terms are “not acceptable,” he said in a text message to journalists.

In the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, scores of homes had been pulverized, wreckage blocked roads and power cables dangled in the streets. Hardest hit were areas close to the border with Israel, areas from where Gaza militants

typically fire rockets.

Manal Kefarneh, 30, wept as she inspected her damaged home.

On an unfinished top floor, she and her husband had been raising chickens. The couple collected the dead and replenished water for the living in hopes they will survive the war.

“What did we do to deserve this?” she asked. “All of the Arab leaders watch what’s going on here like it’s a Bollywood film.”

Israeli strikes have destroyed hundreds of homes, including close to 500 in targeted hits, and

forced tens of thousands of people to flee, according to Palestinian rights groups.

Across Gaza, 147 bodies were pulled from the rubble Saturday, officials said. In southern Gaza, a tank shell killed 20 members of an extended family who sought refuge inside a building, al-Kidra said.

Israel says it is doing its utmost to prevent civilian casualties, including sending evacuation warnings to residents in targeted areas, and blames Hamas for putting civilians in harm’s way.

Israel has lost 42 soldiers and two civilians, and a Thai worker has been killed.

Israeli legislator Ofer Shelah of the centrist Yesh Atid party said Israeli troops are “fighting with an enemy dug in within the civilian population, dug in underground or within the houses there.” Referring to the widespread destruction, he said that “those are the consequences of such a fight.”

Israel launched a major air campaign in Gaza on July 8 and later sent ground troops into the Hamas-ruled territory in an operation it said was aimed at halting Palestinian rocket fire and destroying the tunnels.

BRIEFLY U.S. embassy in Libya evacuated Washington — The United States shut down its embassy in Libya on Saturday and evacuated its diplomats to neighboring Tunisia under U.S. military escort amid a significant deterioration in security in Tripoli as fighting intensified between rival militias, the State Department said.

“Due to the ongoing violence resulting from clashes between Libyan militias in the immediate vicinity of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, we have temporarily relocated all of our personnel out of Libya,” spokeswoman Marie Harf said.

The withdrawal underscored the Obama administration’s concern about the heightened risk to American diplomats abroad, particularly in Libya where memories of the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in the eastern city of Benghazi are still vivid and the political uproar over it remain fresh ahead of a new congressional investigation into the incident.

The evacuation was accompanied by the release of a new State Department travel warning for Libya urging Americans not to go to the country and recommending that those already there leave immediately. “The Libyan government has not been able to adequately build its military and police forces

and improve security,” it said. “Many military-grade weapons remain in the hands of private individuals, including antiaircraft weapons that may be used against civilian aviation.”

The Pentagon said in statement that F-16 fighter jets and other U.S. aircraft provided security. “The mission was conducted without incident, and the entire operation lasted approximately five hours,” the statement said.

Aid for border crisis makes little progress Washington — With one week left before Congress’ August recess, President Barack Obama is prodding Republicans to help ease the influx of minors and migrant families from Central America, but with chances dimming that border legislation will reach his desk before the break, he also is focusing on other ways to stem the flow.

GOP leaders are working against time to find a consensus within their party to deal with more than 57,000 children and other migrants who have arrived since October, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Obama’s demand for congressional action comes as GOP lawmakers are attempting to coalesce behind a narrow package of changes, including send-

ing National Guard troops to the border, increasing the number of U.S. immigration judges and changing a law so that migrant youths arriving by the tens of thousands could be sent home more quickly.

The package would cost less than $1 billion, several lawmakers said, far less than the $3.7 billion Obama requested to deal with the crisis.

Obama, who met this week with presidents from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, said the U.S. has compassion for the migrant children, but those who do not have a proper claim to remain in the United States will be turned back. At the same time, the regional leaders said the president offered them assurances that the rights of those children would be observed.

Ukraine advances on rebel positions Donetsk, Ukraine — Ukrainian officials said their forces advanced to the outskirts of a key town north of Donetsk on Saturday as they try to retake the stronghold held for months by proRussia rebels.

The move comes as Ukrainian forces appear to have gained some momentum recently by retaking control of territory from the rebels. But Russia also appears to becoming more

involved in the fighting, with the U.S. and Ukraine accusing Moscow of moving heavily artillery across the border to the rebels.

Ukrainian national security spokesman Andriy Lysenko said Ukrainian forces were outside Horlikva, just north of the regional center of Donetsk.

Once they can take Horlivka, “the direct route is open for the forces of the anti-terrorist operation to the capital of the Donbass region — the city of Donetsk,” Lysenko said.

Donetsk, a city of about 1 million people, is a major center of the separatist uprising that has battled Ukrainian government forces for five months.

An Associated Press reporter found the highway north of Donetsk blocked by rebels and heard the sound of artillery to the north.

Explosions were heard in the direction of the town’s airport, on the northwest edge of the city, an area frequently contested by Ukrainian forces and rebels.

Black smoke rose from the direction of Yakovlikva, a northern suburb of Donetsk.

About 35 miles to the east, the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down was still eerily empty except for the parents of one of the 298 people killed in the July 17 disaster. A full-fledged investigation still hasn’t started because of the security risks posed by the nearby fighting.

Retail questions Good questions are being asked about retail development in Lawrence. Now we need some answers.

T

he developers of a proposed shopping center on South Iowa Street might be doing Lawrence a favor by pursuing their plans even in the face of a negative recommendation from the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission.

It’s unclear at this point whether the North Carolina-based developers will simply walk away from this plan or take their case to the Lawrence City Commission, which can override the planning commission’s recommendation or send it back to the planning group for additional consideration. Either way, the issue of where, when and whether Lawrence should allow expanded retail development remains. It’s a discussion that Lawrence needs to have, and continued consideration of the south Iowa development could force that conversation.

Good points are being made on both sides of this issue. Opponents point to Horizon 2020, the city’s comprehensive plan, which says retail development shouldn’t be allowed south of the South Lawrence Trafficway. However, it also suggests the possibility of an “auto-related commercial center” on that site, which could include auto sales and repair businesses, restaurants, hotels and other uses “that attract a large amount of the traveling public.” It foresees a relatively intense commercial development, but not the type and quantity of retail that is being proposed.

How rigid should that plan be? Should it be flexible enough to accommodate what some see as a retail bonanza for the city, or should be it rigid enough to force that type of development to another part of the city? Some residents say if the South Iowa plan is approved, the city might as well not have a comprehensive plan because it ignores it anyway. Others say the city needs to be able to respond to opportunities, including a developer willing to make a sizable financial investment in Lawrence. What should govern development in Lawrence: developer money or community planning?

The city already has approved retail zoning in other areas, including a large site that has set idle for a number of years at the intersection of West Sixth Street and the SLT. None of the groups that control those sites have been able to put together commitments from as many retailers as the group on South Iowa. If that project is turned down, will those retailers consider another location in Lawrence or just go away, taking their investment and sales tax revenue with them?

Some observers are expressing concern about the impact of additional retail development on Lawrence’s downtown. Downtown is a special place, but it hasn’t been the retail center of the city for a long time. It has evolved in ways that don’t please everyone, but will blocking other retail development expand or preserve retail downtown?

If the answer to that question is “yes,” and downtown is the city’s top priority, then it would have to try to block new retail development not only on South Iowa but at other sites already zoned for that purpose.

These aren’t easy questions, but they won’t go away. They will be back every time a new retail development is proposed in Lawrence. This is as good a time as any to try to find some answers.

Kerry registers small successes Washington — The world has been so chaotic lately that it was easy to overlook two U.S. diplomatic maneuvers — involving the turbulent nations of Afghanistan and Iran — that avoided what could have been dangerous ruptures.

The architect of these two agreements was Secretary of State John Kerry, who these days seems to be in constant airborne mediation mode. In calmer times, Kerry would have made front-page headlines with his power-sharing pact in Afghanistan that defused talk of a possible civil war there, and with his agreement to extend the delicate Iranian nuclear talks until November.

With the catastrophic violence in Gaza and Ukraine, these developments were barely noticed. Kerry himself raced off to Cairo and Tel Aviv this week to chase an Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire. He also continues his regular, largely fruitless, conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about Ukraine. Kerry has yet to demonstrate, in any of these crises, that he can achieve more than temporary political fixes or extensions of interim agreements. But the intensity of his effort is admirable.

The Afghanistan and Iran deals, though little discussed, are worth a closer look. They challenge the conventional wisdom about security problems in those two countries.

In both cases, American diplomatic pressure has so far averted what many ana-

“

In both cases, American diplomatic pressure has so far averted what many analysts were predicting a year ago could pose new security threats for the U.S.” lysts were predicting a year ago could pose new security threats for the U.S. Both crises could still return with a vengeance, but U.S.-led diplomacy has had some traction.

The surprise about Afghanistan is that the June runoff election to succeed President Hamid Karzai has produced a power-sharing agreement between the apparent winner, Ashraf Ghani, an ethnic Pashtun, and Abdullah Abdullah, a Tajik.

Abdullah, who had polled the most votes in the first round, screamed fraud when the official count reported that he had lost the runoff by a roughly 56-44 percent margin. His allies warned that they would mobilize Tajik militias for a renewed Afghan civil war. Some Afghan analysts had been predicting such a return to warlordism ever since President

Obama decided to withdraw U.S. combat troops.

But, wonder of wonders, civil strife hasn’t engulfed Afghanistan. Security is shaky, and Afghan forces struggle daily to keep the Taliban at bay. But the country hasn’t cracked. Ghani and Abdullah both endorse the bilateral security agreement negotiated with the U.S., which will provide a continuing American military presence, at least through the end of 2016. Karzai had refused to approve the pact, but it’s likely to be signed quickly after the recount is finished in September.

Kerry’s unity deal came when Ghani and Abdullah agreed to a full audit of the election results, and Ghani offered his rival a significant role as a quasi-prime minister. Ghani also plans, as he put it in a campaign manifesto, to “enter into a dialogue with the armed opposition” when he takes office.

Ghani told me in a telephone interview last week that he and Abdullah have agreed on a program of outreach to political and business leaders. His plans for an inclusive national government assume that Afghan security forces, numbering about 340,000, can operate effectively as the U.S. withdraws support. That’s a big “if,” especially in providing logistics for such a big army, but so far the Afghans have held their ground.

Kerry’s agreement to extend the nuclear talks with Iran for another four months is harder to assess. In the run-

up to the July 20 expiration of the interim agreement, U.S. officials had seemed doubtful that the Iranians would offer enough concessions to warrant a rollover. But in the final days, the Iranians appear to have shown flexibility and creativity on several key issues.

The areas where Iranian negotiators are said to have signaled willingness to compromise include: reconfiguring their planned reactor at Arak so it won’t produce plutonium for a bomb; converting their hardened facility at Fordow so it is verifiably for peaceful uses; addressing so-called “possible military dimensions” of their nuclear activities; and limiting their stockpile of enriched uranium.

The big gap between Iran and the P5+1 negotiating group is the number of centrifuges Iran claims it needs for a peaceful nuclear program. On this, Kerry appears to have made little progress in his meetings a week ago with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif. The number of centrifuges seems to be the deal-maker, or breaker.

Critics might argue that Kerry’s negotiations with Afghan and Iranian officials have produced little more than agreements that “kick the can down the road.” But in such a turbulent world, there are worse things than buying some time in hopes of an eventual breakthrough.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 27, 1914: “Potter years Lake opened Satago urday afternoon IN 1914 with all the glory that could be bestowed on the favorite swimming place of about 125 boys. The funds that were collected last week were sufficient to warrant the lake being open for the rest of the summer and having a guard there that could watch the boys and see that none of them got into trouble. ...

It is the plan of the management of the lake to have one day each week for the girls and women.”

Inappropriate selfies: It’s all about me In a place haunted by ghosts, on a thoroughfare of the damned, standing upon ground once watered by blood, Breanna Mitchell lifted a camera to take her own picture. She smiled a sunshine smile.

And the Internet exploded.

The image the Alabama teenager captured of herself at Auschwitz, an earbud in one ear, has gone viral in the month since she posted it on Twitter. She’s been harshly criticized. She’s been called vile names. And yes, she’s endured that act of lazy person’s terrorism, the Internet death threat.

Mitchell insists she is unbowed. She explained in a video interview for something called “TakePart Live” that she wouldn’t do anything differently because she didn’t mean any harm. The photo, she says, was meant to honor her father, who passed his love of World War II history on to her. It was taken on the anniversary of his death.

Mitchell’s attitude toward her international notoriety is probably best summed up in a tweet she posted July 20: “I’m famous y’all.”

Ahem.

I don’t generally use this space to beat up teenagers for doing regrettable things. Do-

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

It suggests a cluelessness, a shallowness, and an incapacity for reverence that have come to feel like the signature of these times.”

ing regrettable things is pretty much your job description at that age and I’ve always felt you should be free to go about that job without the spotlight of media attention.

But what Mitchell did seems to demand a few words. Especially since she’s not the only one doing it. To the contrary, we learn that it has become quite the modern “thing,” people clowning, sticking out their tongues, lifting thumbs up, grinning like loons in somber and sacred places. They’ve done it at Auschwitz, at the

New York memorial to the victims of 9/11, at the American cemetery at Normandy, at the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, at grandmother’s funeral.

Nor is it just kids who are doing it. To the contrary, there exists a photo of a certain 52-year-old president of the United States grinning for a selfie with British Prime Minister David Cameron, and Danish Prime Minister Helle-Thorning Schmidt (both 47) at last year’s memorial service for Nelson Mandela. First lady Michelle Obama sits apart from them wearing a somber, funeral-appropriate expression that says clearly, “I don’t know these people.”

Look, I understand this is not exactly a federal crime.

And yes, I get that people take pictures of themselves in order to place themselves in a context. It is a way of saying, “I was there.” Nothing wrong with that. I’ve done it myself.

But this whole thing of mugging for cameras in inappropriate places feels viscerally ... wrong. It suggests a cluelessness, a shallowness, and an incapacity for reverence that have come to feel like the signature of these times. It suggests a lack of home training and a surplus

of narcissism that have come to feel ubiquitous. For all her professed love of World War II history, Breanna Mitchell bespeaks a fundamental lack of respect for, and comprehension of, that history when she poses at Auschwitz — death place for nearly 1.1 million human beings — like she thinks she’s at Epcot.

That should not even have to be explained. But social media have rewritten the social contract and apparently what once did not need explaining now does — to kids and, worse, to their parents.

More’s the pity.

Do we take nothing seriously? Is nothing so awful or so awesome as to make us look up from our own lives?

Is no place so hallowed or holy that we would never think to use it as a stage upon which to showcase the fizzy wonderfulness of our own selves?

Apparently, not.

When you take a picture of yourself grinning and mugging at some sacred place, it diminishes the place and sends a message that has become too common: This is all about me.

And you know what? It isn’t.

Foods Worth Remember ng How diet can protect against Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease

By Heather Pratt, MNT

A

disease, and some researchers have even begun to refer to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as â&#x20AC;&#x153;type-3 diabetes.â&#x20AC;? Research has indicated that brain cells can and do become resistant to the effects of insulin, which then interferes with normal brain function.

lzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disease is perhaps one of the most dreaded diseases of our time. It is the most common type of dementia and is characterized by the deterioration and death of brain cells, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. The disease progresses until basic bodily functions are lost, followed by eventual death. As anyone who has watched a loved one succumb to the disease will attest, it is a painful and frightening disease.

As baby boomers progress toward old age the rates of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are H[SHFWHG WR ULVH VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ DQG EHFDXVH UHVHDUFKHUV GRQÂśW NQRZ H[DFWO\ what causes the disease, there is no cure. However, we do know that the structural changes in the brain associated with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease begin to develop as early as 25 years before the onset of symptoms and a diagnosis. Many experts believe that interventions to stop the disease in its tracks years before symptoms develop are our best hope. And you guessed itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;these interventions begin with food.

Brain Food While more research is needed to fully understand the puzzle that is Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, there are protective dietary and lifestyle practices that can be adopted now. Making the following changes in your diet now can help maintain your brain function now and in the future. Â&#x2021; Choose organic foods whenever possible to limit pesticide exposure. A recent study found that blood levels of the chemical DDT were four times higher in Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients than in the control group. Even though DDT was banned in the United States more than 40 years ago many people still have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legacyâ&#x20AC;? amount of it in their bodies. While this study focused only on DDT, most pesticides work as neurotoxins on insects and some worry that long-term exposure of these chemicals may also affect human brains.

The Disease For years, our understanding of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease has centered on the beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles that form in the brains of Alzheimer patients. These structures damage brain cells and interfere with cell-to-cell communication. But many questions surround the hypothesis that these abnormal proteins are the cause of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. For example, the plaques are not found exclusively in Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients, but are also seen in the brains of elderly people without signs of dementia. As research questions the role these plaques and tangles play, other theories have emerged that consider Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just as a disease of the brain, but as a disease of the whole body. New research is beginning to connect the dots between diseases of the vascular system and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease.

Â&#x2021; Eat foods rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols are a category of micronutrients that act as antioxidants in our bodies. They have been shown to help protect the vascular system in general, but also to decrease LQĂ&#x20AC;DPPDWLRQ LQ WKH EUDLQ SURWHFWLQJ QHUYH FHOOV IURP GHJHQHUDWLRQ 7KHUH are many types of polyphenols and they are widely available in brightly colored plant foods. Some particularly good food sources for protecting the brain include grapes, green tea, turmeric, dark chocolate, and darkly colored berries.

Could Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Be a Vascular Disease?

Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease risk is greatly increased when diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and stroke are presentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all of which are vascular diseases. Of course, an association does not establish a cause and only indicates that a relationship may exist, but it has lead some researchers to hypothesize that Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is actually vascular in nature, rather than neurological.

Slamming it home McLemore delights with dunks at inaugural event

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University guard Ben McLemore wanted to bring a taste of the NBA’s All-Star Weekend to his second home.

So, late in his first Sir McLemore Summer Slam event Saturday at Lawrence’s Community Building, McLemore set about recreating his routine from February’s Slam Dunk Contest. McLemore pulled two members from the crowd to stand in for Shaquille O’Neal, whom McLemore skied over as a Sacramento Kings rookie during festivities in New Orleans.

Both dunks were flawless and sent the fans into a frenzy. McLemore followed each by low-fiving fans during a couple of victory laps around the gym.

The All-Star tribute put the finishing touches on a day that connected McLemore’s friends, family and fans in a place he holds near and dear to his heart.

“I wanted to bring it back because this is home,” St. Louis native McLemore said of Lawrence. “It’s my second home, and I just love it here. The fans, I just loved it here. I had a great time during my time here and I’m glad to be back.”

Former KU teammates Naadir Tharpe and Travis Releford showed up to support McLemore at the event he said he planned to bring to Lawrence every summer.

Current Jayhawks Jamari Traylor and Evan Manning also attended but were unable to participate.

The Summer Slam, which raised money for the fight against childhood hunger through McLemore’s All4Kids charity, featured a dunk showcase, live auctions, some shooting displays and the chance for five young fans to live out their dream of playing one-onone against McLemore.

“I’m really excited,” said McLemore, who played to the crowd throughout the day. “I’m glad it turned out so well. I had fun, the fans had fun and that’s what I want to continue to do, build my relationship with my fans.”

Tharpe talks pro decision, KU degree

FORMER KANSAS POINT GUARD NAADIR THARPE, LEFT, talks dunk strategy with former teammate Ben McLemore during the Sir McLemore Summer Slam, Saturday at the Community Building.

Former Kansas University point guard Naadir Tharpe was back in Lawrence this weekend to help out former KU teammate Ben McLemore at his Sir McLemore Summer Slam event, held Saturday at the Community Building.

Tharpe, who left KU this spring with the intent to transfer after three seasons with the Jayhawks, recently decided to forego his final season of college eligibility to turn pro instead.

Saturday, he explained that becoming a KU graduate and finishing what he started, academically, played a huge role in his decision.

“That’s why I’m back here now,” Tharpe told the Journal-World. “So I can figure out how to get started again, whether it’s online classes or whatever. The reason I

came to this school was because of the dudes before me, and I’m appreciative of everything that happened to me here.”

Tharpe currently sits 22 hours shy of graduating and has talked with his former advisers at KU about finishing his education in Lawrence. Had he elected to transfer to another school, he could have lost some of those hours and further delayed the process of finishing school and turning pro.

What’s more, he would not have been officially recognized as a KU graduate.

The Worcester, Massachusetts, native said the whole process has been tough to sift through but added that he feels good about the decision he made and is looking forward to trying out for the NBA’s D-League in the coming months.

Toronto (ap) — U.S. World Cup player Michael Bradley took dead aim at Major League Soccer and its referees Saturday night after Toronto FC’s 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City.

“It’s by no means an excuse, it was the same for both teams, but the referee was absolutely awful,” the Toronto player said. “The people at the MLS office in New York, when they talk about wanting to improve the league, the first thing that needs to be improved is the refereeing, bottom line.

“That shouldn’t come across as sour grapes because that’s just the reality. And it was bad for both teams and I’m sure they’re sitting in their locker room saying the same thing to themselves, but they’ve got three points with them and that certainly makes it a little easier to swallow.”

Referee Ted Unkel issued eight yellow cards, including five to Toronto. Kansas City was reduced to 10 men in the 75th minute when captain Matt Besler got a second yellow.

Despite that, substitute Jacob Peterson scored five minutes later for defending MLS champion Kansas City.

Foremost on Toronto’s list of complaints was a no-call in the 23rd minute when Unkel waved play on after Kansas City defender Aurelien Collin chased down Brazilian striker Gilberto, after a deft through-ball from Bradley, and appeared to clip the Brazilian’s leg.

Gilberto, who had a clear path on goal, went down and Bradley went after the referee imploring for a call, which should have garnered Collin a red card. The French defender went unpunished and Toronto got the first five yellows of the night.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY FORWARD JACOB PETERSON, RIGHT, CELEBRATES his game-winning goal as Toronto FC defender Nick Hagglund, left, walks past, Saturday in Toronto. Kansas City won, 2-1.

Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen was appalled by the nocall.

“Collin should have been sent off. I mean an under-12 ref can pick that one,” Nelsen said.

“That’s pretty basic.”

Nelsen said he was left wondering what was going on with the referee, whose decisions he said had mystified his players.

“You tell them to forget about all the decisions that went against you, forget about all that, forget about the ridiculous yellow cards that we got and they got nothing,” Nelson said. “Just try and focus on the game. But they’re human.”

Kansas City coach Peter Vermes had a different view of the officiating.

“I thought the referee did a good job tonight, that is my personal opinion,” Vermes said. “I don’t think it was an easy game to ref. I really liked his management of the game.”

On the tiebreaking goal, Peterson — a former Toronto midfielder — took advantage of Toronto’s inability to clear a deflected cross and poked the ball past goalkeeper Joe Bendik.

Graham Zusi tied it for Kansas City (11-5-5) in the 48th minute.

Perigueux, France — Finally cracking broad smiles after weeks of no-nonsense racing, Vincenzo Nibali confirmed he will win the Tour de France after another impressive ride in a dramatic penultimate stage on Saturday.

Nibali all but ensured he will be crowned Tour champion for the first time thanks to winning the last mountain stage on Thursday. But a desire to leave nothing to chance, even with the biggest overall lead in 17 years, saw him push himself in the individual time trial for fourth place behind winner and German speedster Tony Martin.

In doing so, the rider they call “The Shark” padded his overall lead on Stage 20 by more than 40 seconds to nearly eight minutes.

He grabbed the yellow jersey on Stage 2 almost three weeks ago, and has worn it for all but two stages. A largely ceremonial final ride into Paris awaits today.

“It’s really difficult to explain all the emotions that I’ve gone through in these last three weeks. But as time goes by, maybe I’ll find the words to describe what I’m feeling,” Nibali said through a translator. “Perhaps on the Champs-Elysees, I’ll realize a little bit more.

“This year was a great race. It was almost made to measure for me,” he said of the ride through the hills and dales of Yorkshire, England, over cobblestones in northern France, and over mountain passes in the Alps and Pyrenees.

For days, Nibali’s domination has reduced the drama to who would join him on the final podium today. The Stage 20 time trial solved that: Jean-Christophe Peraud and Thibaut Pinot.

They will be the first Frenchman to medal in France’s beloved race since Richard Virenque in 1997.

The duo did enough to leave behind an unlucky Alejandro Valverde of Spain in their three-man race for the final podium.

Only 15 seconds separated them when the stage began in Bergerac, but it became more than two minutes when the time trial finished in Perigueux.

Peraud, a 37-year-old former mountain bike racer, became tearful at the finish after learning he would be the Tour runnerup: “It’s beautiful,” he said.

The Beijing Olympic silver medalist also teared up during a news conference. “Now, I can retire,” Peraud said.

Because Valverde had a bad day, Peraud, who even blew a flat and had to change bikes, losing about 20 seconds, and Pinot were able to shade him.

Team USA loses Love Kevin Love still doesn’t know where he will play next season, his NBA future hanging in the air while a seldom-used league rule complicates a potential trade to Cleveland.

The only thing certain from a basketball standpoint for Love is that he won’t be playing for Team USA this summer.

Love had to withdraw from Team USA’s roster while the Minnesota Timberwolves field offers for their three-time All-Star, a process that was extended when Cavaliers rookie Andrew Wiggins signed his contract this week.

Love is the latest All-Star to pull out of Team USA, which begins its training camp in Las Vegas next week to prepare for the FIBA World Cup in Spain. In recent weeks the Americans have lost Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge and NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard. They have 18 players remaining and will choose 12 for the World Cup of Basketball roster.

As McLemore was looking around for an elementary school student, Kevin McLemore, a sophomore guard at Brown Mackie College, hopped onto the court and challenged his older brother.

“That, I didn’t know (about),” Ben McLemore said. “But it was fun.”

Kevin gave Ben a strong push, but the elder McLemore prevailed.

“All I’ve been working on is my game,” McLemore said. “Finishing moves, my jumper, getting stronger, all of it.”

McLemore joined the Kings in winning the NBA’s summer-league title last week in Las Vegas.

“That gave us a lot of confidence,” he said. “And

“Right now I’m at a point where basketball is what I do for a living,” he said. “If that means I have to go overseas to provide for my family, that’s what I’ll do.”

As for his personal life, which was turned upside down last spring after a risqué photo of Tharpe and a woman surfaced on the Internet, things are good there, too.

Tharpe said his daughter, Amara, is in good health and going strong again — “She’s doing really well. She’s running around wild. She’s crazy.

Everything’s good.” — and that he’s felt a lot of love from fans, former teammates and family since deciding to leave the KU basketball team.

“Everything’s going really well, actually,” he said. “It was hard, only having one more year under my belt, but at the end of the day I had to do what was best for my life.”

Bourbon and Taylor Cox are the most experienced backs in the rotation, while newcomer De’Andre Mann, a juco transfer, and incoming freshman Corey Avery also figure to factor into the mix in 2014. Also, senior wide receiver Tony Pierson may still steal away a few carries,

so Wrench’s absence, though disappointing for the future, is not likely to cripple KU in the short term.

Diener said Wrench hopes to return to the KU football team once his academics are in order, but the absolute earliest that could become a reality is 2015.

FSHS alum Loneker wins Shrine Bowl MVP

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Pittsburg — Former Free State High linebacker Keith Loneker has earned plenty of accolades over his prep career, but this time he was stunned.

Loneker knew he was playing well in the Shrine Bowl on Saturday at Pittsburg State University, but he was left near speechless when he was named the Most Valuable Player for the East squad at the end of the game.

Loneker finished with a Loneker game-high 10 tackles, including six solo tackles and two for a loss, as he teamed up with Lawrence High’s Kyle Wittman in the East’s 21-6 loss to the West.

“I didn’t think they’d give that to me, shoot,” Loneker deadpanned, before listing teammates who he thought also deserved the honor and the large trophy.

Loneker came up with big tackles throughout the night, including a stop at the line of scrimmage on a fourth-and-one, and a tackle near the goal line, which led to the East’s only touchdown on the following possession.

“I felt personally, our defense for how much we were on the field, we came out and played,” Loneker said. “I couldn’t tell who was making the tackles. I was just playing my game and happened to make some tackles.”

His performance was no surprise to his teammates and coaches after watching him practice all week. Loneker was named the defensive captain for the East Friday.

“Oh my gosh, MVP — that’s really all you can say about that kid,” said Mike Gillman, a Free State assistant coach who was also an assistant on the East team.

“The kid flies around, he was voted (captain) by the team because he’s such an athlete, and the kids love him by the way he plays.

You saw it tonight, he’s just an animal.”

LHS alum Wittman played both center and guard for the East’s offense, which struggled to convert on third downs.

Yet, Wittman was strong in pass protection, helping the East’s three quarterbacks sit in the pocket before their throws.

“It was different playing a game in July,” Wittman said. “It was real fun. We came out good the first half … second half they stepped up. It was a tough game. They are a really good team, but overall, it just felt great to get out here and play again.”

Not only was it a joy for all of the players to be a part of the Shrine Bowl, but the coaches cherished it as well.

“It’s amazing. It’s the pinnacle of my career to coach in game at this level and have this much talent surrounding me, from both sides of the state,” Gillman said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Though fans only saw all of the players during the game, Wittman said the practices are what he’s going to take away the most from these past two weeks.

“Our offensive line coach coached us as college offensive linemen, not high school,” said Wittman, who will join Loneker at Baker University this fall. “We got to work on a lot more technical things and stuff like that, and that’s going to help me going into Baker because a lot of the stuff is very similar.”

hat happens when a bird’s best friend, the wind, goes missing? That’s a question only a children’s book can answer.

The new children’s book “Bluebird” by local author and illustrator Lindsey Yankey was published in January of this year, and received acclaim and

Sold locally at The Raven Book Store, “Bluebird” has already sold several hundred copies, says Raven owner Heidi Raak.

Taking flight The story behind “Bluebird” began six years ago while Yankey was pursuing an illustration degree at Kansas University and ended over 5,000 miles away in Italy.

“I thought about a bird looking for the wind or a bird being friends

with the wind, and how does that develop,” Yankey says. “It’s just short one-line thoughts and then brainstorming after that.”

An interesting ‘Ida,’ and I loathe ‘Lucy’

T

here is a stigma associated with foreign films, especially ones that are shot in black and white and set in a historical period that most Americans are unfamiliar with: That they are long and boring and nothing ever happens.

I’ll be the first to admit it: It’s hard to get psyched about seeing a movie about an orphaned young woman getting ready to take her vows in a convent in early 1960s Poland.

But director Pawel Pawlikowski’s “Ida,” now playing at Liberty Hall, is an 80-minute road-trip movie filled with plenty of plot and surprising revelations, not to mention fascinating lead characters who couldn’t be more different from each other.

The chaste and sheltered 18-year-old title character (Agata Trzebokowska) is a bit of a blank slate, wearing her poker face at all times and holding tightly to her teachings. Her world is turned upside down following the news that her real name is Ida, not Anna, and that she’s Jewish and her parents were killed during World War II. It’s her one known relative Aunt Wanda (Agneta Kulesza) who delivers this bomb, and she relishes the moment. An angry former prosecutor for Poland’s Communist party, “Red Wanda” now spends time assuaging her guilt with booze and one-night stands.

Like everything else in “Ida,” the complicated social and political backdrop of post-war Poland is filled in naturally as the movie progresses.

There’s no onscreen titles or omniscient narrator to explain the film’s context and setting. It’s easy enough to glean this information from the complicated feelings of its characters.

What is fascinating is how Pawlikowski reveals so much by simply stick-

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com ing with Ida and Wanda and acutely observing their behavior.

The visual strategy is as striking as Pawlikowski’s efficient storytelling.

Shot in the square aspect ratio of yesteryear, it has a rigid quality that reflects Ida’s upbringing.

Cinematographers Ryszard Lenczewski and Lukasz Zal employ a camera that’s eternally still, and often keeps its subjects smaller in the frame or partially obscured, as if some larger force were bearing down on them. The soundtrack is austere as well, featuring music that only occurs in the reality of the film, save for the quietly powerful last shot.

“Ida” is a study in contrasts, from its stark black and white presentation to its diametrically opposed characters, each of them representing aspects of their country at a complicated juncture.

A dark cloud hangs over Poland in the film.

The population is haunted by the recent past, and Wanda’s resentful attitude is obvious. (Kulesza is a particular standout certainly worth remembering come Oscar time.)

Ida represents the country’s tough road forward, confronting not only her family history and everything she’s been taught but also modernization and shifting social mores.

If the movie still sounds a little too much like doing your homework, it’s not. You’ll just have to trust me.

Scarlett Johansson in “Lucy” ‘Lucy’ For every complex social issue at play in “Ida,” there is an equally fascinating quasi-philosophical question to match it in Luc Besson’s action-movie “Lucy.”

Unfortunately, these questions are answered in the most reductionary of ways by a filmmaker who has neither the patience nor the interest in actually engaging intelligently with the material.

The core idea of “Lucy” is a tantalizing sci-fi premise, exploring what would happen if a human were able to access the 90 percent of brain function that is currently unavailable to us. Scarlett Johansson is the woman who gets this ability suddenly (and by accident), and the disappointing answer has his film falling into lazy superhero tropes and many of the same action clichés that Besson’s been pumping out in the Euro trash action flicks he’s been producing for years.

The prospect of instant evolution and a sudden massive intellect is foreshadowed by the appearance of a hairy Neanderthal at the film’s opening. The fact that the CGI cavewoman is named Lucy and an exact physical replica of her

somehow resides in a natural history museum in the present-day is the first sign that “Lucy” is going to be corny as heck.

Besson goes on to squander a tense, thriller-style opening where Johansson shows considerable spark and makes Lucy someone worth rooting for. The actress also shines in an emotional phone call to her mother as long-forgotten childhood memories flood her mind. But the more she becomes like

using about 1 percent of the brain.

Despite all of the interesting ideas that it brings up, “Lucy” is unimaginatively scripted and staged. Although Lucy has a constantly expanding consciousness, she mostly uses it to turn into Magneto and swat bad guys away with her mind.

Besson wants to show he’s got bigger issues on his mind, but he relies on CGI sequences inside her brain that look like animated screen savers from 2004, as well as wide shots of the planet Earth as seen from space.

“Lucy” wants to be AP Photo/Universal Pictures a thinking man’s action movie with strains of “The Tree of Life,” but it’s really a by-thea supercomputer and numbers revenge movie is distanced from what for people who thought makes her human, the less interesting the movie Ashton Kutcher’s “The Butterfly Effect” was becomes. profound.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Hercules’ is schlocky but entertaining

By Stephen Farber Associated Press

Los Angeles — You’ll have to say one thing for Brett Ratner’s production of “Hercules”: This movie has a sense of proportion. Running just over 90 minutes, the movie is often clunky, but at least it’s fast and unpretentious. And its likable star, Dwayne Johnson, manages to murder legions without ever seeming sadistic. Less violent than “300,” less compelling than “Gladiator,” this new addition to the sword-and-sandals genre seems likely to please the fanboy audience and stir up some impressive boxoffice numbers.

The film begins by recounting the legend of Hercules, with snippets of his famous 12 labors.

But this is not the Steve Reeves version of the tale.

Johnson’s Hercules (as envisioned by comic book author Steve Moore) is a flawed hero. Bereft over the murders of his wife and children, Hercules has joined up with a band of loyal comrades who will basically sell their services to the highest bidder. In other words, they’re mercenaries. But you can bet it won’t be too long before

Dwayne Johnson in “Hercules” Hercules rediscovers a noble purpose. That happens when he is enlisted by the lovely daughter of the lord of Thrace to save her kingdom from civil war. Let the mayhem begin.

The story has a few twists up its sleeve, as heroes turn out to be treacherous and villains are more complex than first appearances suggest.

There’s just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage. (The movie’s PG-13 rating seems fairly lenient.) One problem with these battle scenes is the frenetic editing, an unfortunate staple of contemporary action pictures. On the positive side, the sets are impressive, and the crowd scenes, even if enhanced

by CGI, stir happy memories of films like “Spartacus” and “Ben-Hur.” It may sound like a backhanded compliment to praise this sometimes cheesy movie for never taking itself too seriously, but in a summer of bloated spectacles, this modesty should not be underestimated.

Everybody’s gonna be happy

H

appy Gillis is back. Although the popular eatery at 549 Gillis St. in Columbus Park never technically went away since it opened in 2008, a new pair of owners and some tasty additions to the menu have given new life to an already-refreshing locale.

Local chef Josh Eans and his wife, Abby-Jo, bought Happy Gillis Cafe & Hangout late last year, hoping to expand on the cafe’s existing charm with a bit of what they call “cosy craft food.”

Josh, previously a sous chef at the American Restaurant, has already combined talents with Abby-Jo to develop the menus at The Drop and Blanc Burgers and Bottles. So far their touches at Happy Gillis have been subtle but welcome.

Among my favorites are the Bacon Date Melt, a delicious sandwich with cheddar and grain mustard, and the pork confit, with apple butter, pickled fennel and walnuts.

Happy Gillis also has a small but scrumptious breakfast menu that includes biscuits with sausage (or wild mushroom) gravy, and the Madame Vert, which includes Duroc ham, asparagus, Swiss cheese, grain mustard, mushroom gravy and an egg.

Around $10 each, the meals are of a gourmet quality without ever feeling overpriced or pretentious. Wash it all down with a fresh juice, coffee, soda or one of several craft beer offerings. Happy Gillis is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Lunch time can be busy, so show up a bit before or after noon to avoid the rush. For directions and a full menu, visit happygillis.com.

Strawberry Swing Next Sunday, an event bringing together several dozen of Kansas City’s finest craftspeople will take place at one of the oldest surviving estates in the Kansas City area: the Alexander Majors House.

Today the former home of the notable freighter and Pony Express pioneer serves as a history museum and a wedding venue, but from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 3, it will be the site of the annual Strawberry Swing indie craft fair.

With food trucks, live music, a photo booth and over 60 vendors of all varieties, Strawberry Swing

is a must for Etsy enthusiasts, fans of fashion and design and supporters of local arts.

Ten percent of the proceeds will benefit Rosedale Ridge, a nonprofit that helps sponsor after-school programs for children in Kansas City, Kan. The Alexander Majors House is located at 8201 State Line Road, tucked back a little ways on the Missouri side of the street. To see a full list of participating vendors, visit thestrawberryswing.org.

Antiques Expo In the antiquing arena, one of the area’s most established shows is relaunching this weekend in a new location with a new name.

The Kansas City Antiques Expo (formerly the Overland Park Antique Show) will bring together over 50 dealers in the KCI Expo, next to the airport at 11730 NW Ambassador Drive.

The show runs Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and admission is $8. Visit kcantiquesexpo.com for more information.

First Friday The monthly First Fridays art walk in the Crossroads will be in full force Friday, with galleries, events and street performers everywhere you look.

Front/Space (217 W. 18th St.), an event space and creative community center operated by several Kansas University graduates, will be holding a launch party from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for Civilian, a publication dedicated to art, literature and city planning.

Visit frontspace.info for more information or to preview of the magazine.

ILLUSTRATIONS BY LINDSEY YANKEY FOR HER UPCOMING CHILDREN’S BOOK “SUN AND MOON,” about the moon’s jealousy of the sun, are pictured. Yankey’s first children’s book, “Bluebird,” was released earlier this year after she had been working on it for six years.

and the overall direction of the picture book.

The challenge at hand was to illustrate the absence of wind.

“So visually you’re showing something that you can’t see is gone,” Yankey says. “That was set up with a pretty big problem to be solved.”

To relay this idea to a child, she says, she made a list of things that are affected by the wind like balloons, newspapers, tree leaves and scarves.

“The focus of that writing was to identify things that weren’t blowing,” she says.

In 2011, Yankey scrapped her school-developed draft and made some higher-quality illustrations to put in her portfolio. She took them to the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy to see if any book jobs would result from interacting with some of the 2,000 children’s book publishers who attend the annual event.

“I shopped my portfolio around as much as I could to try to see what I could stir up,” Yankey says. “Some of the booths have a person at a podium that are there to say, “no, thank you, you can leave some stuff if you want.’”

One year later she’d return to the same book fair with a polished “dummy book” of “Bluebird” especially created to give to the publishers she had spoken with during the previous year.

She was all in this time.

Publisher Simply Read Books from Vancouver bit, and “Bluebird” was released in English and

Italian in January of this year. She also landed a deal to create 20 illustrations for the first Italian translation of Edith Nesbit’s “Nine Unlikely Tales.”

Drawing a line Yankey’s path to illustration wasn’t direct but a culmination of all of her interests.

“I started with education, and then art (education), and then illustration,” she says. “I changed my mind a few times, but there was a line.”

“I feel like I do best when I have a goal in mind. I like kids. I like books. So all of these things equal that I should do this.”

— Author and illustrator Lindsey Yankey

Not having taken an art class since her freshman year in high school, she rediscovered her love for art in studio classes to fulfill art education credit requirements. She has been surrounded by art since a young age because of her artist father. Yankey found herself wanting to spend more time in that end of the building than anywhere else.

“I like working with my hands, and I enjoy making art,” she says. “I feel like I do best when I have a goal in mind. I like kids. I like books. So all of these things equal that I should do this.

“I feel like there’s a lot you can say very simply, but it can be more complex than that. Picture

HISTORY BOOKS Michael Schmidt’s ‘The Novel: A Biography’ is an insightful exploration of 700 years of writing

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Michael Schmidt’s massive new book, “The Novel: A Biography,” covers nearly 700 years of prose and hundreds of writers. At 1,200 pages, it is much longer than “Moby-Dick” and nearly as long as “War and Peace.” Although it’s not necessarily the last word on any given novel, as a resource, reference and stimulator, it’s a bargain and a worthy addition to your home library.

While Schmidt, born in Mexico, has long been a professor in the United Kingdom, his approach is not academic.

He writes for common readers, to borrow Virginia Woolf’s phrase, though he must know they’ll have to do some work to keep up with him.

While equally idiosyncratic, “The Novel: A Biography” is more readerly, a series of essays in which Schmidt first develops the history of the novel and then, reaching the modern era, tackles clusters of novelists grouped by affinities. For example, Schmidt’s “Elegy” chapter covers and finds commonalities among Thornton Wilder, William Faulkner, Ellen Glasgow, Eudora Welty, Carson McCullers, Flannery O’Connor, Harper Lee, Ralph Ellison, Toni Morrison, Thomas Wolfe, Malcolm Lowry and Joyce Cary.

In the book’s distinguishing feature, Schmidt taps the opinions of novelists about each other, rather than leaning on professional critics a la Harold Bloom (only cited once in this gigantic volume). The likes of Woolf, Ford Madox Ford and Jonathan Lethem offer insight and argument alongside Schmidt.

“The most penetrating insights into Cervantes are those of Fielding, Smollett and Sterne, of Stendhal and Flaubert and Turgenev, Dickens and Faulkner and Hunter S. Thompson; not only what they say about ‘Don Quixote,’ but how they incorporate the sad knight and his sidekick into their own imagination,” Schmidt writes.

As that passage makes clear, while Schmidt primarily discusses novels in English, he also makes room for writers in other languages, such as Tolstoy and Kafka, who had a powerful effect on fiction in English.

Schmidt draws his finish line about the year 2000.

Given its density of ideas, “The Novel: A Biography” was a book I read about 10 or 15 pages at a time over several months, which is how I’d recommend most people read it.

It contains plenty of points of possible argument with its editor and his fellow commentators — and it offers many suggestions and much stimulation, the best reason to grapple with his gargantuan tome.

Great American novels Although he writes from Great Britain, Schmidt and his fellow travelers engage American fiction deeply. Consider their takes on some books that contend for the title of Great American Novel.

Schmidt offers Willa Cather and Jorge Luis Borges in support of the greatness of Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (1884) and cites Ernest Hemingway’s statement that modern American fiction descends from Huck.

(Schmidt sees Holden Caulfield, Scout Finch, Augie March and even Humbert Humbert as successors of some kind to Huck.) But Schmidt sides with Hemingway in declaring the happy ending Twain gave “Huckleberry Finn” a defective one.

In the “Thought-Divers” chapter, which also includes Nathaniel Hawthorne and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Schmidt calls the language of Herman Melville’s “Moby-Dick” (1851) “richly Jacobean, with the kinds of unsentimental concerns with mortality and the physicality of the body that we experience in the drama and religious writing of an age in which the King James Bible and the Book of Common Prayer were entering the bloodstream of English.”

Schmidt cites D.H. Lawrence as celebrating the symmetries of “Moby-Dick,” and Edmund Wilson as both admiring and resisting the novel.

Schmidt begins his look at F. Scott Fitzgerald and “The Great Gatsby” (1925) with the naysaying Gore Vidal: “Little of what Fitzgerald wrote has any great value as literature.” However, Schmidt himself writes that “Of the writers of the lost generation, Fitzgerald wrote the most elegant, cinematic sentence and paragraph.” He sees Fitzger-

ald’s vision, through “Gatsby” narrator Nick Carraway, as “androgynous, complete, in the way that Virginia Woolf says an accomplished author must be: active and passive, male and female, credulous and disabused.”

But Schmidt also characterizes Carraway as a distinctly unreliable narrator, who knows either too much or too little at any given moment to be trustworthy.

By using multiple voices in relating the ghost story of “Beloved” (1987), Schmidt writes, Morrison avoids reducing black experience to a single position.

“We are not one indistinguishable block of people who always behave the same way,” Schmidt quotes Morrison as saying.

“I try to give some credibility to all sorts of voices, each of which is profoundly different. Because what strikes me about AfricanAmerican culture is its variety.”

By shifting the frame, Schmidt offers his own unique if logically defended contender for the “chimera” of the Great American Novel: E.L. Doctorow’s “Ragtime” (1975).

“The book is about a number of famous Americans bound together by common people, about the American Dream, about America itself, its connections and disconnections with Europe and with landscape, its infatuation with celebrity and success, its greed, injustice, sentimentalism, idealism.”

Weaknesses and surprises A survey this sweeping will inevitably have debatable propositions, weaknesses and errors.

Schmidt’s dominant interest is the literary canon; he crams romance, Western, mystery, horror and sci-fi writers in a single “Genre” chapter which feels obligatory rather than passionate. He notes, as a literary canonizer would, that “genre fiction is where literature and the market unashamedly meet” (as opposed to university creative writing departments, where literary fiction and the market hold hands).

His judgment isn’t totally

sound in genre fiction. In sci-fi, he correctly identifies Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. LeGuin as towering figures of accomplishment and influence, but also drags in Michael Crichton, a commercial success but unworthy of inclusion with those giants.

Schmidt also makes a howler in this section, referring to the editor who helped shape the work of Heinlein and Asimov as James Campbell. That would be John W. Campbell Jr., one of the crucial figures in the history of science fiction.

Long-absent brother likely has other issues Dear Annie: Several months ago, my husband and I moved to the Ozarks after falling in love with the area. We left behind a lot of dear friends and the life we had known for 25 years, but we are quite happy here.

The only sadness is my brother. He and his wife still live in the town we left. When I told him we were moving out of state, he said we shouldn’t because of our health issues.

Yet when I had two major surgeries, he never once bothered to drive the five minutes to the hospital or come by my house afterward. He is retired and sits around the house watching TV. He never offered to help us pack for the move or assist in driving our truck, and I really wanted him to see our new home.

In the nine months

Annie’s Mailbox

we have lived here, my brother has not called one time. I phoned on his birthday and for holidays. Each time, he said he was “thinking of calling.” My husband and I have no children. My brother is my only family. He told me a few years ago that he is depressed. I am sure it began when his best friend died. He did get medication from his doctor, but it obviously did little good.

I am hurt that my big brother has written me

A natural disaster of shark proportions With “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” airing July 30, Syfy is using the next seven days, or “Sharknado Week,” to celebrate the big event. It includes “Sharkmania” (8 p.m.), a countdown of “the Top 15 Biggest, Baddest, Bloodiest Bites” from “Jaws” to “Sharktopus.”

David Suchet returns as the world’s favorite Belgian sleuth in the “Masterpiece Mystery!”

(PBS, check local listings) presentation of season 12 of “Hercule Poirot.”

Sunday’s installment “The Big Four,” is from a book

by Christie adapted by Mark Gatiss (”Sherlock”). “The Big Four” lands Poirot in the midst of international intrigue on the eve of World War II. The secrets behind the murder of an internationally acclaimed Russian chess grandmaster defy solution until Poirot starts twitching his well-groomed mustache.

Price tags are no object on the new series “Big Time RV” (7 and 7:30 p.m., Travel), set at a Tampa, Florida, dealership specializing in recreational vehicles. In the first episode, two friends spend $1 million to outfit a rolling “party pad.” On the second, a customer wants a $400,000 home with a 500horsepower engine.

Tonight’s other highlights

Repeat reports scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): a CEO’s mentoring program; Chile’s massive telescope; the Nile’s giant crocodiles.

A celebrity chef’s connection to a murder is only the beginning on “Unforgettable” (8 p.m., CBS).

Josh Groban hosts “Rising Star” (8 p.m., ABC).

Danny’s mysterious illness raises eyebrows on “The Last Ship” (8 p.m., TNT).

Bridget’s dream school proves elusive on “Ray Donovan” (8 p.m., Showtime).

Complications abound as competition emerges on “Halt and Catch Fire” (9 p.m., AMC).

Rats are up to no good on “The Strain” (9 p.m., FX).

A pleasant reunion is shortlived on “Falling Skies” (9 p.m., TNT).

off. We never got together much when we lived in the same town, but at least he would call once in a while and come by for coffee on occasion.

I have decided that the next move is up to him. My husband has been supportive, but even he does not know how badly I am hurting. He doesn’t have any siblings. I know of nothing that will make my brother call me, so I can only sit here and hope. Any suggestions?

— Hurting Little Sis in Branson, Mo. Dear Hurting: You are expecting a great deal from a brother who apparently suffers from depression and has never been particularly good at staying in touch. He may believe you abandoned him by moving away.

In most sibling relationships, one sibling

is better at maintaining ties. It’s your choice whether to continue to initiate contact, but we hope you will. We think he misses you, even though he doesn’t show it the way you’d like.

Dear Annie: Your response to “Bob in North Carolina” hit the target dead center. It’s a shame that so many of the young women with whom I work do not see themselves in this light. They flaunt their sexuality instead of their know-how in the work environment.

What a shame people still think like this. — Proud of Who I Am, Not What I Show

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

jacquelinebigar.com

For Sunday, July 27, 2014: This year you start a new 12year life and luck cycle. The first year will be the most fortunate.

If you are single, you could meet someone who shows up from out of the blue. This is a banner love year. If you are attached, be careful about being too me-oriented.

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) Your instincts will guide you as an older person or friend tries to manipulate a situation.

You are likely to react in the most unanticipated way. Tonight: A must appearance.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might opt to stay close to home, where you feel more comfortable. Tonight: Stay away from someone controlling.

ALL ABOARD...

It’s going to be wild ride! Staff, students and school families may want to pack a little extra patience along with their school supplies for the start of school. With half of all Lawrence schools currently under construction, and more construction on the way, expect to see some changes on school campuses. The school board began implementing this summer a $92.5 million school bond issue approved by district voters in April of 2013. It’s a messy job to improve all school facilities and enhance technology across the district.

As always, safety comes first! Please be extra cautious in and around schools, especially near construction areas at Hillcrest, New York and Langston Hughes Elementary Schools, all four middle schools and Free State High. The Cordley campus is closed; the district will relocate Cordley students and staff to East Heights this year. In addition, watch for construction to begin this fall at Sunset Hill and Kennedy Elementary Schools and on the new College and Career Center near 29th and Haskell Avenue.

Tips for Staying Safe on the School Bus: â&#x20AC;˘ Follow the directions of the bus driver. â&#x20AC;˘ Arrive to the bus stop five minutes before the scheduled time. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay clear of the roadway while waiting for the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ Dress appropriately for weather conditions while waiting for or riding the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ During the extreme heat of August, parents may send water bottles with students for the bus ride. â&#x20AC;˘ Wait for the bus to stop before boarding. â&#x20AC;˘ Wait for the driver to motion to you if crossing the road to board the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ Always cross at least ten feet in front of the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ Use the handrails when boarding the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ Be extra careful when weather is wet or icy, as bus steps can become slippery. â&#x20AC;˘ Store your personal belongings in your lap. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep your area clean. â&#x20AC;˘ Treat bus equipment with respect. â&#x20AC;˘ Refrain from horseplay and speak softly while on the bus. â&#x20AC;˘ Remain quiet at all railroad crossings, so the driver may listen for warning signals. â&#x20AC;˘ Use electronic devices with headphones only. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep hands, head, and other body parts inside the bus at all times. â&#x20AC;˘ Treat the bus driver with respect. â&#x20AC;˘ Remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop. â&#x20AC;˘ Obtain written permission from the school office to leave the bus at a destination other than your regular stop.

Dear First Student Bus Riders,

The state of Kansas provides student transportation funding for students living more than 2.5 miles from school by the usually traveled route from the residence of the pupil (K.S.A. 72-8302).

Eligible families may enroll for the 2014-15 student transportation program through First Student, 1548 E. 23rd Street, Suite C, during business hours: MondayFriday 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Enrollment forms, available at First Student and at www.usd497.org, may be faxed to (785) 841-4388. Contact First Student at (785) 8413594 with questions about student transportation.

Another option that may be of assistance to families is the Lawrence Transit System (The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tâ&#x20AC;?). Route maps, fare information and a trip planner may be found online at www.lawrencetransit.org or by calling (785) 864-4644.

Sincerely, Ron May, administrative services director Lawrence Public Schools *2014-15 exception: Cordley busing to East Heights

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.

Coming to Lawrence

By Hailey Lapin, Lawrence Journal-World

It may be the most historic corner in the state, but the Eldridge Hotel may soon be getting a makeover.

In the future, expect to see the historic Eldridge hotel expand into the adjacent vacant lot at Seventh and Massachusetts streets. Plans for the six-story expansion feature 38 new rooms/suites, almost double the hotel’s current capacity of 48 rooms.

Nancy Longhurst, general manager of the Olivia Collection, said the expansions most exciting component is the increased ability to hold meeting and event spaces. Longhurst oversees the Eldridge Hotel, Eldridge Extended and the Oread, and believes new technologies and guest accommodations will allow hosting of larger groups and events.

Longhurst said she was not sure when groundbreaking for the renovation would begin, but hopes the expanded Eldridge will continue to provide an excellent guest experience tied to the tradition of the site’s historic past.

“We have the most historic corner in the state of Kansas, the Eldridge is truly a gem in our community,” Longhorn said. “People love to stay here because of our history.”

Those planning an event at the Eldridge can look forward to an extended banquet hall and a larger ground-floor restaurant space. The Eldridge’s last expansion took place in 2005, and the hotel’s current Crystal Ballroom can accommodate 150 guests.

Meeting & Event Planner

Downtown Lawrence may see a new conference and event center at the former site of the Journal-World’s printing plant at 609 New Hampshire street.

Leaders of the World Company announced the development’s planning in late June, which would include demolishing the currently unused JournalWorld printing plant and building a new 20,000to 40,000-square-foot multiuse conference center.

Concept plans also include a hotel, retail and restaurant space along Massachusetts Street, a multilevel apartment complex, and a large, unique public square.

“Building this space will be a tremendous positive asset to the city of Lawrence, the University and the state of Kansas,” said Dolph C. Simons Jr., chairman of the World Company, which publishes the Journal-

World and LJWorld.com. “We currently do not have a conference center in the city, and this essential feature of the new development will be the glue that holds everything together.”

Dolph C. Simons said plans for the new conference center would incorporate advanced technologies and architecture to help draw academic conferences to the area for the University of Kansas and regional academic units.

Dan Simons, president of the Electronics Division of the World Company, said via e-mail the renovation will “have a huge positive impact on downtown, bringing hundreds of apartment dwellers living in downtown, thousands of visitors, spending money in downtown establishments, and millions of tax dollars for the local economy.”

The project is still in planning stages and the World Company must still submit plans for city approval.

Through continued construction and collaboration with University and the City of Lawrence Dan Simons said he hopes for an opening by fall 2017.

Construction is currently underway for the new, multistory Towne Place Suites Marriott Hotel on Ninth and New Hampshire streets. Opening in November 2014, guests can expect comfortable 1- and 2- bedroom suites with built-in kitchen amenities, including a conventional oven and stove.

Doug Morrison, director of assets and development of Capital Management, Inc., said the new 91-key space’s central location and expansive kitchen facilities make an ideal downtown hotel for University and city guests. The Overland Park-based management company promises 7,000 square feet of retail space and residential apartments on the top floor for extended visitors.

Directly down the street from the SpringHill Suites located at one Riverfront Plaza, the new Marriott hopes to bolster downtown hotel and meeting space with an expanded business center and wide business meeting facilities for groups of 40 to 160.

“The project is a perfect fit for this city.” Morrison said. “With additional meeting spaces and shopping we’re excited to drive more visitors and businesses to Lawrence.”

Lawrence’s Supplier of Wedding Attire!

This autumn, expect to see inventive techniques presenting the salad or vegetable appetizer in attractive, miniature bowls, parfaits and flares.

Goodbye to the days of the standard veggie tray.

“These days everything is about portion control.”

Maceli said. “Smaller, personal appetizers groom the buffet line and keep guests interested and intrigued.”

By accenting a generous scoop of edamame hummus with carefully placed pepper, carrot and snap peas, event appetizers can be personalized to the needs of the specific client. Maceli said he loves collaborating and creating new combinations like cayenne shrimp salad.

When the weather cools, nix the extravagant centerpiece and allow the guests to share with a “family style” dinner, rising in popularity for fall weddings and corporate events. Served in shimmering Hammered Karhai stainless steel bowls, this service offers a more elegant alternative to the standard buffet. By serving each course straight to the table Maceli believes this is the perfect option for clients looking for specialize an event at a costeffective price.

“Listen, we’ve got to step away from the overdone.”

Maceli says “At your event your guests feel like they are experiencing food for the first time.”

For those looking to entertain a smaller wedding or business event, seek out the home-cooked goodness of Diana’s Kitchen, 930 Murrow Court.

This year owner Dianna Fuller celebrates her eighth year serving Lawrence’s dishes straight from the heart—literally.

Fuller hand-selects every ingredient included in her family recipes and prepares dishes herself in her home full-service licensed kitchen.

This fall, expect to see less chipotle chicken and lettuce wraps as bride and event planners switch to a heartier seasonal menu.

“Most people are looking for the food they are familiar with that brings back memories and is comforting.” Fuller said. “I make the dishes mom used to make.”

Fuller loves the opportunity to share her love of cooking with families and friends. Her fall catering menu features roasted vegetables, savory sweet potatoes, and baked local fruit. Though Fuller’s catering experience includes large weddings, by preparing casseroles and soups for smaller parties Fuller loves establishing a personal relationship with her clients.

“I love to see the pleasing effects, to be there for

the excitement of the events and see people’s faces when they taste the food.” Fuller said.

Beyond the perfect food, an essential element of prime party planning involves picking the perfect venue. Kim Ho, You’re Invited owner, says the autumn months are the busiest time of the year for her Lenexa-based wedding and event planning business.

“There are so many fantastic places between downtown Kansas City and Lawrence, wedding season is definitely on.” Ho said.

Ho said she is excited when Lawrence brides choose to host elements of their big day outside— many of her clients plan on mixing rustic, vintage themes with exciting new outdoor venues like the Cider Gallery of Lawrence. Selecting an outside location gives greater opportunity to incorporate trendy elements like lace, burlap, crystal and other vintage pieces into an already appealing natural atmosphere. Ho does have a tip for the bride: “Though Fall weather in Kansas is gorgeous, it is (of course) unpredictable.” Ho said. “If you are going to hold an outside event, make sure you have a good backup plan on the big day.”

PLAN YOUR NEXT EVENT AT THE

HISTORIC

Reception Catering Options

By Mike Gehrs, Arterra Event Gallery

One of your considerations in choosing a reception space will be to opt for a venue that has its own catering, a venue that allows all outside caterers or a venue that has a preferred caterer list. I call these options “Yours” (venue’s caterer) “Mine” (your own caterer) and “Ours” (caterer you pick from a list.)

Yours

Hotels, country clubs and restaurants always provide their own catering services. When a reception venue provides its own catering you will choose from their food and beverage packages. Often full service venues offer cakes, specialty linens, chair covers and centrepieces at an additional charge. Most will not require you use these services but frequently offer them at competitive prices. This is a great option if you are looking for more of a onestop-shopping experience.

This recently refurbished 1929 landmark sits on 1 ½ acres at 1510 North Third Street in Lawrence and is easily accessible from the turnpike and local highways.

Inside our main space, we can accommodate 64+ people for a sit-down meal and 100+ people for a standup event. Outside, we have a large deck and lots of land.

Our flexible space means you can bring your own food or choose your own caterer and bring your own beverages.

For details about our space and amenities, please visit

www.WhiteSchoolhouse.com or on Facebook at White Schoolhouse.

You can also write jcr@whiteschoolhouse.com or call (785) 550-5365.

Mine

If you want to provide your own caterer that probably means it’s someone you know. Make sure you are using someone that is licensed and insured. Most venues that allow outside caterers will require proof of license and insurance and some require the venue be named on an insurance rider. Ensure that your caterer is confident accommodating your guest count (and has before) and is willing to abide by the policies and regulations of the wedding reception venue.

Ours

The “preferred caterer” list can have as few as 3 caterers and as many as a dozen or more. The average venue has about 5-6. The challenge here is choosing, so ask the venue representative to suggest which caterers you may want to focus on given your style and budget. Contact at least three of them to get quotes so you have something to compare. Ask for references from clients that have used the caterer in that venue before. The advantage of choosing a wedding reception venue that has several caterers to choose from is variety, choice and competition for your business.

Â?Â&#x17E;Â&#x203A; Â&#x203A;ÂŽÂ&#x2122;Â&#x203A;ÂŚÂŞÂ&#x;¼¤Â&#x2014;¢ ­Â&#x;ÂŞÂ&#x17E;Â&#x;¤ ¯¼¨ Â&#x2DC;ÂŤÂ&#x161;Â?Â&#x203A;ÂŞ

Planning a party can always seem a little stressful at times and you may not know what truly goes into this process. Whether it may be a small meeting, a conference, a social or even a wedding, to make the planning process seem flawless we like to always create a checklist of questions to look back on for guidance. The first questions a Catering Manager will ask you about your party are key!

1. What or Who is the event for? Title of event?

2. What date and time frame were you interested in?

3. How many people will be attending? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is an estimate, not final counts!

4. Who will be the main contact?

These first questions will help the Catering Manager advise which function spaces are available and which would best fit your needs. I would then suggest setting up an appointment to meet and see the spacing recommended! This is important

to us because we like to build a relationship with my contact and get feel for what their expectations may be. Once these questions have been tackled, a contract is signed securing the space. The next set of questions is where we knock out the details of your event.

5. How would you like the room set up? Informal or formal?

6. Will you require any AV needs?

7. What are your Food & Beverage expectations?

8. Do you have a budget you are trying to work within? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; VERY IMPORTANT When it comes down to the planning out the little details, question #8 trumps all.

The budget is what helps us planners pick and choose what would be best for your group. In these circumstances, we may customize menus or even bundle AV pricing to make sure we stay within your means.

We are always striving to make the planning process painless and less stressful!
