Man charged with raping 2 children

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

A 39-year-old Lawrence man accused of raping two girls while they were in day care was charged Monday.

The man, William Joseph Ellis Jr., was charged in Douglas County District Court with two counts of rape of a child under the age of 14. Prosecutors alleged at Ellis’ first court appearance Monday afternoon that he had sex with two victims over “more than a year.”

‘Day care’ assaults occurred from 2014 to last week, prosecutors say Charging docuWhen Ellis asked ments indicate the alfor clarification on leged acts happened his charges, Douglas with one of the chilCounty District Judge dren between Jan. 12, Paula Martin said he 2014, and Friday, and was accused of havCOURTS with the other vicing sex with “two tim between March 9, 2014, girls while they were in day and Friday.

Plans to put 1,000-foot water slide in west Lawrence make waves

I

t has been a bumpy ride for this water slide, and it is not even in operation yet.

A proposal to close a west Lawrence street for two days in August to house a 1,000foot water slide is in limbo after neighbors began voicing concerns about the project.

The promoters behind The Urban Slide sent a letter to city commissioners saying they planned to cancel the event after concerns had bee raised by residents near the proposed site on George Williams

Way. But then, the promotion company — Lawrence-based Silverback Enterprises — reconsidered and said it wanted a hearing by the City Commission after all. Commissioners are scheduled to discuss the project at their 5:45 p.m. meeting today.

Commissioners will consider two locations for the event.

One option is to close George

budget priorities. The survey of 1,330 households was conducted by an Olathe-based consulting firm, ETC Institute, which said it had a margin of error of about 2.7 percent.

Commissioner Matthew Herbert said he wasn’t surprised by the findings, especially regarding public infrastructure.

“I think we did a really good job responding to that,” he said. “If you look at the 2016 budget, we massively increased the capital improvement fund, which is where a lot of that comes from. I think we responded appropriately with our budget.”

According to the survey, 88 percent of those who offered an opinion ranked spending on public infrastructure as either their first, second or third priority. Develop-

the school board at their Monday night meeting.

“It’s pushed back on the taxpayer to make up for it,” Johnson said, noting that the increase would allow the district “to keep the status quo” in terms of budgeting.

The district’s last tax increase was for the 2010-2011 school year, after which its tax rate decreased four years in a row. Under the district’s latest proposal, the rate would increase by 1.602 mills, from 55.752 mills to 57.354 mills.

For the owner of a home valued at $160,000, that would mean $1,055 in property tax per year, $29 more per year than under the current tax rate.

Taxes are assessed on 11.5 percent of a home’s assessed property value, and one mill is equivalent to $1 for every $1,000 of that value.

Earlier this year, the

ing public safety facilities, such as a new police headquarters, got support from 52 percent.

Lowest on the priority list, with only 29 percent support, was public spending on arts and culture.

Thirty-one percent mentioned developing parks and recreation facilities, and 38 percent mentioned economic development.

The survey also showed Lawrence residents are generally more satisfied with the quality of life in the city than they were in 2007, when a similar study was done.

That was not the case in a similar survey of residents in the Kansas City metropolitan area, or the nation as a whole.

But there were varying opinions about the quality of specific services provided by the city. Of those who offered an opinion, 89 percent said they were either satisfied or very satisfied with the city’s police, fire and emergency medical services, as well as trash and yard waste services.

Slightly fewer, 82 percent, gave positive marks for the city’s water service.

Kansas Legislature overhauled the way the state funds its public schools, switching from the perpupil funding formula in place since 1992 and replacing it for two years with a block grant system. A lawsuit alleging the law is unconstitutional is pending.

The proposed increase is part of a published budget report that outlines the Lawrence district’s funding, expected expenditures and the estimated property tax mill levy needed for the upcoming school year.

Once the budget is published, district officials may adjust the budget downward but not upward.

The publication includes a side-by-side comparison with last year’s budget, but Johnson said the comparison — which indicates an approximately $20 million increase in total expenditures — is skewed by the inclusion of money that wasn’t previously moved through the general operating fund, such as state aid to the Kansas Retirement System for Public Employ-

ees, the state’s pension plan. That money is just transferred through and is not available for operating expenses, Johnson explained.

“We don’t really have any new money to speak of,” she said.

Owing to those additions, school board members approved the publication of the proposed budget while some voiced trepidation. School board president Shannon Kimball said that because the comparison is not “apples to apples,” the publication of the proposed budget doesn’t create the transparency that is intended.

“It’s no wonder that there’s so much ammunition out there for people that are misusing this information,” Kimball said.

A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for 7 p.m. Aug. 10 at the district’s Educational Support and Distribution Center, 110 McDonald Drive. After the hearing, the board will vote on whether to approve the plan.

Man accused of soliciting girl, 14, at shelter

A 28-year-old man accused of trying to entice a 14-year-old fellow Lawrence Community Shelter resident to have sex with him was ordered Monday to stand trial.

The man, charged with indecent solicitation of a child and interference with law enforcement, was arrested May 2 after a 14-year-old reported the alleged incident to authorities.

Plans clarified

‘Reaganism’ invoked in varied forms

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

Amendments to a draft plan should help clarify what the city envisions — and doesn’t envision — for the proposed East Ninth arts corridor.

A

city advisory group has been working hard to address concerns about the East Ninth Street arts corridor. Hopefully, the revised East Ninth Work Plan Draft that will be considered by Lawrence city commissioners tonight will allow this project to move forward with broader community support.

Two additions to the draft plan respond specifically to the concern of East Lawrence residents that the project is intended to create a high-traffic entertainment district on Ninth Street between New Hampshire and Delaware streets. An amendment to the plan forwarded to the commissioners defines the project as “a right-of-way improvement project that includes integrated artworks and new multimodal transportation strategies.” It states clearly that the goals of the project do not include turning the street into an “entertainment corridor; that diminished the authenticity of East Lawrence’s rich, cultural history.”

Although the Citizens Advisory Committee didn’t think it was its role to make zoning decisions about property in the area, it nonetheless added to the draft plan a specific “statement of support” for neighborhood efforts seeking downzoning and conservation overlay districts “to address development concerns and maintain the character of the neighborhood.”

Including the two statements in the project plan should clarify the intent of both the citizens group and the City Commission and provide some support for East Lawrence residents who may see a need to seek protections for their neighborhood in the future.

The other concern addressed by an amendment to the plan is the desire to ensure a role for local artists in the Ninth Street project. The citizens group proposes the creation of an “associate artist” program that would pair artists from the county with professional artists so the associates can gain experience in the field of public art. Funding would be set aside for at least three associate artists to participate and be paid for their efforts.

It’s natural for residents along this corridor to be concerned about its impact on their neighborhood. The amendments to the plan may not alleviate all of their concerns, but the changes should clarify the city’s vision for a project that, if handled properly, should be an asset to both East Lawrence and the community as a whole.

Republicans are embracing many versions of Reaganism The Republican Party has a bigger problem than Donald Trump: It hasn’t figured out what it wants to be.

GOP candidates still worship the legacy of Ronald Reagan, and cast themselves as Reagan’s heirs; there’s hardly a GOP stump speech in Iowa or New Hampshire that doesn’t invoke the 40th president’s name. “Every Republican likes to think he or she is the next Ronald Reagan,” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul noted last year.

But there’s little consensus among conservatives about what Reaganism means in 2015 beyond the basic principles of small government and lower taxes.

When Reagan arrived in the White House 34 years ago, the top federal tax rate was 70 percent and the economy was crippled by inflation and recession. Now the top tax rate is below 40 percent and the main economic problem is stagnant middle class incomes.

What Would Ronnie Do? The candidates can’t agree.

“The core of the Republican debate is over what Reaganism means today,” said Henry Olsen, a conservative scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

“

Confusingly, each of the leading candidates can claim to represent at least one facet of their favorite modern president.”

“And the major candidates are giving quite different answers.”

Confusingly, each of the leading candidates can claim to represent at least one facet of their favorite modern president.

Jeb Bush is campaigning as Reagan the conciliator, an optimistic conservative who reached out to nonbelievers. But his measured tone — and his last name — have reduced his appeal to the right-wing base.

“There’s an element of anger among many conservatives that wasn’t present 15 years ago, but Bush seems to find it incomprehensible,” Olsen said.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is campaigning as Reagan the innovator; he’s done more than any other candidate to roll out new proposals, including a tax reform plan (co-written with Sen. Mike Lee of Utah) that would lower taxes for families with children. But that’s landed him in trouble with those who think the Gipper would have wanted to cut tax rates deeply instead; the

Wall Street Journal editorial page condemned Rubio’s idea as “redistribution.”

Wisconsin’s Scott Walker is campaigning as Reagan the combative governor, an outsider who made his state government smaller. He’s likened his fight with public employee unions to Reagan’s decision to break the federal air traffic controllers’ strike in 1981.

And Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is campaigning as Reagan the ideologue, a conservative who — unlike the real Reagan — disdains the idea of compromise even in his own party. (He’s proposed a flat tax, which would lower rates on the affluent but raise them on lower-income taxpayers.) “Nobody quotes Reagan more and understands him less,” Olsen jibed.

There are more candidates — from the relatively moderate Ohio Gov. John Kasich to the libertarian Paul to the social conservative Rick Santorum — who also consider themselves Reaganites. And they might all be right. Reagan’s White House included conservatives of many different stripes, from the pugnacious Patrick J. Buchanan to the pragmatic James A. Baker III. So when Republicans vote in primaries and caucuses next year, they’ll be choosing one version of Reaganism over another, but that may not be the most impor-

tant choice they make.

Equally important will be the temperament of the candidate they pick, especially his or her ability to reknit a fractious party back together.

There’s nothing wrong with vigorous intra-party debate, of course. But today’s GOP is fragmented into at least five factions: libertarians, social conservatives, tea party conservatives, establishment conservatives and moderate conservatives. And that could make the process of unifying the party around a nominee longer and more difficult than it has been in the past.

When Reagan ran in 1980, there were only seven candidates in the race; this year there are 16. And many of them have access to seemingly endless supplies of money, which means they won’t feel much pressure to drop out even if they fare badly.

If Republicans are lucky, the winner will be a candidate who not only updates Reagan’s message, but also shares his ability to unify his party and broaden its appeal. That, too — not just the ability to communicate a conservative ideology — was Reagan’s political genius.

School collapse

dent since 1969 and have been active in local issues for most of those years.

I also travel a great deal as part of my professional career and appreciate and utilize public transportation in many of the cities I visit.

Chad is exactly right when he points out that transit hubs are not designed to be “destinations.” People using public transportation want to get to their destinations to accomplish their goal: getting to work, getting to Walmart or the grocery store, getting to the doctor.

I think it would be very wise to look at examples of cities that have built new transit stations. They are not in the middle of shopping or restaurants.

They are located in areas that are convenient for buses and allow for a building with restrooms, drinking fountains/vending machines, seating and tickets, maps and information.

I still believe that Lawrence residents support not only the reality of public transportation. We also support the IDEA of public transportation. I am confident the level of support for the T remains very high.

I hope the City Commission will consider my comments as you move forward in planning for the future of this vital local service.

To the editor: I heard two things said about Gov. Brownback when he campaigned for his first term in 2010: “We love Brownback; he’s a voucher guy” and “Brownback won’t be happy until kids are learning their ABC’s in church basement Sunday school classrooms.” Action speaks louder than words, and we are heading in that direction whether it is the governor’s conscious plan or not.

According to reports on National Public Radio, between 400 and 550 teaching positions in Kansas are still open, with less than a month left until schools start. As reported in your editorial last Thursday, at least 3,720 teachers have retired, gone to work in other states or changed professions since last May. In desperation, some school districts have won the right to hire individuals with no teaching credentials! Block grant funding is crippling many excellent school districts.

Future graduates will not be equipped to compete for 21st century jobs.

While other state legislatures struggle to fund all-day kindergartens and obtain computers for more students, our Legislature struggles to cut more education funds and weasel out of their constitutional mandate to provide quality education for all Kansas children.

ulty members are told to avoid making comments that are inappropriate for “guests” of China. However, according to her, the Chinese government has not objected “to content that could be considered sensitive in classes that FHSU requires for its political science degree, such as American Government, American Constitution and Political Philosophy.” “Never,” Elliot stated, “do we compromise the credentials that students need to complete a degree.”

Elliot’s words sound wonderful, but are they truly accurate? In 2013, the Chinese Communist Party moved to curb Western influence in China by issuing Directive 9, which banned the discussion of seven subjects in university classrooms. These “no-speak” topics include universal values, citizen rights, civil society, an independent judiciary and freedom of the press, topics that would be central to any respectable courses in American government, the American constitution or political philosophy.

So what is the real situation regarding FHSU courses in China? FHSU compliance with Directive 9 would make this Kansas Board of Regents university nothing more than a cheap diploma mill handing out compromised credentials to its graduates. I hope the Journal-World will provide its readers with more information about what FHSU is up to in China.

man) was going to do something to her in her room.”

When officers responded, the man went with police to be interviewed. The man allegedly told police that he had actually followed the girl to her room to offer her snacks. He also allegedly said “that he ‘did not disrespect that little girl,’” according to the affidavit.

The man also allegedly lied to police about his identification, leading to his interference charge.

The man allegedly told police that he lied “because he thought he had a warrant out of Mississippi,” according to the affidavit. Police discovered the man is wanted in Mississippi on suspicion of armed robbery.

At his preliminary hearing Monday, Doug-

las County Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild found there to be probable cause to bind the man over for jury trial.

The man remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $30,000 bond. He is scheduled to next appear in court on Aug. 24, when he will be arraigned and enter a formal plea.

who spent 16 years at the University of Alabama — first as assistant professor of mechanical engineering and, later, as department head — before he worked at KU, according to a University of Alabama announcement.

At KU, Bell was dean of engineering from 2002 to 2012. His time at the school included the construction of Eaton Hall and the attraction of several major engineering gifts. Bell left KU in 2012 to become provost and executive vice chancellor at Louisiana State University, a post he held until being hired at the University of Alabama.

Bell’s appointment as president of the University of Alabama began this month, according to the school’s announcement.

He and his wife, Susan, have three adult children, Stuart, Stacy — a University of Alabama graduate — and Stephen.

in an eight-year span, fatal accidents on average accounted for 0.5 percent of total accidents, and that the ratio of fatal accidents to total accidents is “significantly lower on the Kansas Turnpike as compared to rural 4-lane highways in the state.”

The rates of total accidents and fatal accidents were also lower in 2004-2008 compared with the rates in 2001, the report states.

Kansas and two years at the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Timothy M. Tymkovich, of Denver, will succeed her as chief judge. He has served on the 10th Circuit since 2003.

The 10th Circuit, which sits in Denver, has jurisdiction over federal district courts in Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming.

Among Briscoe’s notable recent opinions was a partial dissent she wrote in 2013 in the case of Burwell vs. Hobby Lobby, which challenged a portion of the Affordable Care Act that required employers to cover birth control and family planning services in their employee health plans.

A majority of the court said Hobby Lobby could refuse to provide such coverage under the Religious Feedom Restoration Act. Briscoe disagreed, saying that if such a decision is allowed to stand, it will have “opened the floodgates to RFRA litigation challenging any number of federal statutes that govern corporate affairs.”

The U.S. Supreme Court later upheld the 10th circuit’s majority opinion.

Also in 2013, she wrote an opinion affirming the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to impose a pollution reduction plan for a coal-fired power plant in Oklahoma because the state’s own clean air plan did not meet federal standards.

Briscoe was not involved in the two decisions from the 10th Circuit last year striking down state bans on same-sex marriage.

In a statement released by the court, Briscoe noted that during her tenure, the 10th Circuit was fortunate to have its five vacancies filled and to have weathered a budget crisis that flowed from the “sequestration” cuts enacted by Congress in 2013.

“It has been my honor to serve the circuit and to work daily with our very dedicated Denver staff,” Briscoe said. “I am certain Judge Tymkovich will transition smoothly into the position.”

An official with the 10th Circuit said that although Briscoe is stepping down as chief judge, she will remain an active judge on the circuit.

Boston will not apply to host the 2024 Olympics, a decision reached Monday by the U.S. Olympic Committee and Boston 2024 organizers that ends the city’s beleaguered bid after seven months of failing to gain substantial support.

The announcement came hours after Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said he could not back the bid if that meant signing a host city contract now that would obligate the city to cover any cost overruns, as he has been asked to do by the USOC. A statement from USOC CEO Scott Blackmun said, in part, “(T)

MONDAY

WARNER BROS. PICTURES

The Israeli ambassador to the United States, now lobbying intensively against the Iran nuclear accord, rejected as inappropriate the harsh language that Republican presidential contender Mike Huckabee used likening it to the Holocaust.

“Look, we have a very serious disagreement with the administration on a very serious issue,” Ambassador Ron Dermer told Capital Download on Monday.

“But what I don’t doubt is the sincerity of the president or his team when they say they believe this deal not only makes America safe but makes Israel safe. Where we disagree is the judgment of actually what this deal is going to do.”

On Huckabee’s comments, he said, “These are not words that I would use or that I think are appropriate.”

In an interview Saturday, Huckabee called the Iran deal “idiotic” and said President Obama ultimately will “take the Israelis and march them to the door of the oven.”

Obama, traveling in Africa, characterized the comments as WASHINGTON

“ridiculous” and “sad,” but the former Arkansas governor refused to back down. “What’s ridiculous and sad is that President Obama does not take the Iran threats seriously,” he shot back Monday.

Dermer distanced himself from those remarks. “We don’t in any way impugn the motives of the people who are doing this deal,” he told USA TODAY’s video

newsmaker series. “I think it’s important to conduct this debate in a way that’s befitting of the alliance between our two countries.”

In the interview, Israel’s top representative in Washington continued to argue that the Iran nuclear deal was a dangerous misstep, and he said he was getting a receptive hearing among congressional Republicans and some Democrats in the midst of a 60-day review of the accord’s details. He said he met with many Democrats because “I think ultimately they may decide whether this deal goes through or doesn’t go through.”

He said he believes a majority of Congress is against the deal, but “I just don’t know” whether opponents have enough votes to override a presidential veto.

The ambassador welcomed reports that convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard could be paroled from prison in November after serving 30 years of a life sentence, although he said the release should not be linked to the the Iran negotiations.

“It would end a difficult chapter in relations between the United States and Israel,” he said, “but Jonathan Pollard should have been released a long time ago on humanitarian grounds.”

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said he couldn’t back the USOC’s demands.

he USOC does not think the level of support enjoyed by Boston’s bid would allow it to prevail over great bids from Paris, Rome, Hamburg, Budapest or Toronto.”

The USOC’s statement says it would like to see an American city host the 2024 Games, but it has only seven weeks to name a replacement before applications are due to the International Olympic Committee on Sept. 15.

Los Angeles is the leading candidate, and Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement Monday he had not had recent discussions with the USOC but would be would be happy to.

Walsh’s comments came as Boston 2024’s bid has struggled with its own missteps and growing opposition since the USOC selected the city in January. A poll conducted by a local radio station, WBUR, had shown that support has not been above 40% since March. In the most recent poll, opposition to the bid had reached a high of 53%.

“This was really a grass-roots effort,” said Chris Dempsey, cochair of No Boston Olympics, in a news conference Monday afternoon. “Our hope was always to just be a voice for people in Massachusetts that were skeptical of this bid and had some real questions about it, and we hope that we were successful in that.”

The fate of Whitney Houston’s fortune now up in the air Maria Puente USA TODAY

Now that Bobbi Kristina Brown is gone, what happens to the estate she was to inherit from her mother, Whitney Houston?

Will control of the estimated millions left in her trust fund go to her grieving father, Bobby Brown? He issued a statement Monday saying, “I am completely numb at this time.”

Or will it be her maternal family, led by grandmother Cissy Houston and aunt Pat Houston?

They have controlled the bulk of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s money

under the terms of Whitney Houston’s will.

One thing is likely: Many lawyers will be involved.

“It’s going to be a windfall for the lawyers, unfortunately,” says Jerry Reisman, a trusts and estate-law expert and partner at the Long Island firm of Reisman, Peirez, Reisman and Capobianco.

Three years after her mother was found dead in a tub at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Brown was found Jan. 31unresponsive in a tub at her Roswell, Ga., home. After months in a medically induced coma, she died Sunday at 22 at a hospice outside Atlanta.

The results of an autopsy by

the Fulton County Medical Examiner could take weeks.

“Everyone is going to try to grab (her money), but it’s not necessarily up for grabs,” Reisman says.

Inheritance laws differ by state, he says, but the terms of Houston’s will are likely to trump all state laws unless the terms are disputed in court. “Generally, the will governs.”

Under the terms of the will, the estate goes to Cissy Houston, and Whitney Houston’s two brothers.

Cissy was named executor of the will but renounced the appointment, and a Georgia probate judge named Whitney’s sister-inlaw and manager, Marion “Pat” Houston, as estate administrator.

Atlanta estate lawyer Bruce Gaynes says Bobby Brown would be entitled to whatever his daughter received so far from her

mother’s will. She had received only a portion of the estate, which was to be turned over to her in full when she reached 30.

“He is the sole beneficiary, if she has no husband and if she has no will,” says Gaynes, of the Kitchens Kelley Gaynes firm.

Bobbi Kristina Brown claimed she and boyfriend Nick Gordon were “married.” If he can produce proof of this marriage, Reisman says, then he might be entitled.

Bobby Brown insists Gordon, who is a possible target of the investigation into what happened to Bobbi Kristina, was not married to her, and so far, Gordon has not produced any proof.

VOICES

Armed at the movies: Maybe it’s time Trevor Hughes @TrevorHughes USA TODAY

DENVER As a college student in Boston, movie nights were often rowdy affairs as we raced from classes to snag the best seats in a darkened theater to catch the latest sci-fi flick or cheer the rereleased original Star Wars films.

We reveled in the group experience, good-naturedly bickered over the theater sound systems and cheered Obi-Wan Kenobi when Alec Guinness stepped into the light. Movies took us away from our tests and classes and deadlines.

But after three years of covering the 2012 theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., in which 12 people died, I found myself feeling something quite different while at the movies with my parents: fear.

Sitting in the dark, I found myself scanning the exits and swiveling my head whenever someone stood up. I couldn’t focus on the screen because I was too worried about the people around me.

And then last week someone killed two people in a movie theater in Lafayette, La., a town I’ve come to love. My friends in Lafayette, as you might imagine, freaked out.

Our politicians have shown no real willingness to confront gun violence. That has me thinking: Maybe I should buy a gun.

I hate the idea of living in fear.

I hate the idea of looking at fellow moviegoers as potential kill-

But I can’t escape the notion that I ought to be taking more responsibility for my own safety.

After 20 years of covering shootings and disasters, I know that no matter how hard our cops work, they won’t arrive until after the Bad Thing has begun.

I know the statistics, that putting more guns into circulation will lead to an increase in gun violence. When the only tool you have is a hammer, well, every problem starts to look like a nail.

But that’s them. Not me. I

Sitting in the dark, I found myself scanning the exits and swiveling my head whenever someone stood up. ... I hate the idea of looking at fellow moviegoers as potential killers.

know I can be trusted to use a gun safely, in the same way that millions of Americans who own, carry and use guns safely every day are trusted. In some ways, it feels as if carrying a gun might be like wearing a seat belt: a reasonable and simple safety precaution.

In the immediate aftermath of Aurora, some gun rights advocates argued for more guns in public. Their argument is basically a version of the quote by author and futurist Robert Heinlein: “An armed society is a polite society.”

A gun owner I respect said

that murderers and terrorists deliberately choose soft targets, places where they know they themselves won’t be immediately targeted.

The Aurora theater shooter, for instance, picked a darkened movie theater because he’d have the best chance to kill people without being stopped.

The instant he was confronted by armed police officers, he surrendered. Sounds a little like what happened in Lafayette, where the shooter, after going outside the theater, was frightened by the arriving police, went back inside and killed himself.

Bullies are like that. Stand up to them and they back down or flee. And carrying a gun is the ultimate equalizer, right? It puts you on an equal footing with anyone, putting the power of life and death in your hand.

I’m not sure I’m ready for that. I’m not sure I’m willing to buy a product deliberately designed to kill. Having covered mass shootings for decades, I know too well the devastation a gun can cause in the wrong hands.

But what’s the option? Spend the money on a giant television so I never have to go to the movies again? Avoid large public gatherings? Rely on someone to watch over me?

No. I’m not going to hide at home in fear.

As Ben Franklin said in 1773: “Make yourselves sheep, and the wolves will eat you.”

I’m no sheep. But I’m not quite sure I want to be a wolf, either.

Scouts end ban on gay leaders Greg Toppo USA TODAY

The Boy Scouts of America relented to unprecedented pressure and on Monday lifted its national ban on gay adult leaders, paving the way for historic change — and debate — within the organization.

The historic vote shifts the specter of discrimination onto local scout groups and those sponsored by religious organizations, which retain the right to set their own policies on whether they’ll allow gay men to lead scouts.

Monday’s vote by the group’s 71member board followed an impassioned plea in May by the Boy Scouts President Robert Gates, a former U.S. defense secretary, who told the group, “We must deal with the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be.” Gates, an Eagle Scout, told leaders, “The status quo in our movement’s membership standards cannot be sustained.”

Zach Wahls, 24, an Eagle Scout and executive director of Scouts for Equality, which has pushed for the new policy, said the vote “marks the beginning of a new chapter” for the Boy Scouts.

WIN MCNAMEE, GETTY IMAGES

But the new policy won’t prevent church-led scout groups from choosing adult leaders “whose beliefs are consistent with their own,” the group said.

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints, which sponsors more Scout units that any other organization, said in a statement that it was “deeply troubled” by the decision. Church officials suggested they would look into the possibility of forming their own organization to re-

place Boy Scouts.

“The admission of openly gay leaders is inconsistent with the doctrines of the Church and what have traditionally been the values of the Boy Scouts of America.”

Mark Goldfeder, a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at Emory University School of Law, said that by ending the ban at a national level but allowing religious groups to retain exemptions based on personal beliefs, the Boy Scouts were

IN BRIEF TURKEY, U.S. OK MILITARY PLAN AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE

Turkey and the United States have agreed on a military plan to push Islamic State militants from a strip of territory along the Turkish-Syrian border in what represents a major expansion of Turkey’s role in the conflict, according to a senior U.S. official.

The agreement capitalizes on successes that Kurdish forces have had in pushing Islamic State fighters out of the region but stops short of creating a formal no-fly zone that the Turks have long requested, said the official, who did not want to be named because he is not authorized to discuss the agreement publicly.

The move follows Turkey’s announcement last week that it will allow U.S. aircraft striking Islamic State targets in Syria to use the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey. Turkey said its aircraft would join the air campaign against the Islamic State in Syria.

Turkey, a member of NATO, also called for “consultations” with the alliance after militant attacks on border posts in Turkey.

NATO said it will hold the talks Tuesday.

striking “a very good balance.”

The change shields the national organization from lawsuits, he said, and shifts questions of discrimination onto local groups.

The Scouts’ 17-member executive committee this month unanimously approved a resolution to end a blanket ban on gay adult leaders and let individual scout units set their own policy on the long-divisive issue. With Monday’s vote, the change becomes official policy, effective immediately.

The Scouts’ ban on gay adults saw its first major challenge last April when New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman opened an inquiry into the Boy Scouts’ hiring practices after the national organization said it would review the Boy Scouts’ Greater New York Councils’ hiring of Pascal Tessier, an openly gay, 18-year-old Eagle Scout, to work in a summer camp.

Schneiderman’s civil rights chief, Kristen Clarke, warned that state law prohibits employers from refusing to hire a person based on sexual orientation.

Clarke on Monday said the decision by the national group closes the state’s investigation.

An Ethiopian honor guard stands at attention during a welcoming ceremony for President Obama at the National Palace in Addis Ababa on Monday. Obama described his talks on human rights with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn as “frank.”

IN ETHIOPIA, A CRY FOR BASIC FREEDOMS Visit by Obama seen as positive, but many residents fear their leaders

Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY ADDIS ABABA , ETHIOPIA Primary school teacher Hikma Lemma, 30, is pleased that President Obama is visiting his country and making an issue of the government’s crackdown on free expression. Lemma’s only regret: “He took too long to come.”

On the streets of this capital, many like Lemma hope Obama’s visit to Ethiopia, the first by a sitting U.S. president, will lead to greater political freedom.

Human rights groups charge that the government of Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is using its war against terrorism to clamp down on opposition groups, arresting politicians, activists, journalists and critics on trumped-up terrorism offenses while violating basic freedoms, such as speech and assembly.

Ethiopia jails the most journalists in Africa after Eritrea, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Amnesty In-

And in May, the State Department expressed concern over how the elections that month could result in all seats being won by the ruling party and its partners. The department noted lingering “restrictions on civil society, media, opposition parties, and independent voices and views.”

Obama said Monday that he raised the human rights environment with Ethiopian leaders: “I don’t bite my tongue too much when it comes to these issues.”

“We are very mindful of Ethiopia’s history and it was relatively

recently that there has been a democratically elected government, but there is still more work to do,” Obama said. “There are certain principles that we think need to be upheld.”

Later Monday, Obama met with African leaders in a discussion that focused mainly on neighboring South Sudan, which has been embroiled in a bloody civil war since December 2013.

Before the meeting, Obama said that “conditions on the ground (in South Sudan) are getting much, much worse.”

Following his private talks with Obama, Desalegn said Ethiopia is moving toward democratic rule but needs time to adopt reforms.

“This is a fledgling democracy,” the prime minister said at a joint news conference. “Our commitment to democracy is real, not skin deep.”

On the streets and in shops, residents express fear of the government. “Don’t take pictures here,” Lemma said. “We are just poor prisoners who cannot speak our minds.”

For the first time, the Kochs are weighing entering the Republican presidential primary. Earlier this year, Charles Koch told USA TODAY he might support one or more candidates who have a “decent chance of being elected” and a “positive message for America.”

At the time, he listed Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Walker and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul among candidates he was considering supporting.

AIR SAFETY

NTSB: Southwest nose landing at LaGuardia was captain’s fault “The flight crew’s performance was indicative of poor crew resource management.”

Bart Jansen USA TODAY

The Southwest Airlines pilot who landed nose-first and skidded thousands of feet to a halt at New York’s LaGuardia Airport two years ago should have aborted the landing, federal accident investigators have determined.

The National Transportation Safety Board blamed the accident July 22, 2013, on the captain’s attempt to recover from a bad landing approach by taking control of the Boeing 737-700 from the copilot at just 27 feet off the ground, rather than circling the airport for another landing attempt.

The board also blamed the captain for failing to comply with Southwest’s standard operating procedures to abort a landing

Southwest Airlines Flight 345 landed nose-first at LaGuardia Airport in New York on July 22, 2013. Investigators determined the pilot should have aborted the landing. higher if the descent isn’t lined up correctly with the runway.

“The flight crew’s performance was indicative of poor crew resource management,” the board said in a statement Thursday.

The board said the incident raised safety concerns because 75% of the aviation accidents investigated featured cues that the pilots should have aborted their landings. Despite flight manuals

urging pilots to circle the airport after an unstable approach, a study at an International Air Safety Summit in 2011 suggested that pilots continued landing in 97% of unstable approaches.

Southwest’s plane landed hard enough that the nose gear punched into the plane’s electronics bay, according to investigators. Eight people suffered minor injuries; 141 passengers and crewmembers were uninjured.

Southwest fired the captain in October 2013. Documents that investigators released in October 2014 documented friction between the captain and first officer during the landing.

Southwest’s flight operations manual says any landing should be aborted when the plane isn’t in the proper configuration to land at least 1,000 feet in the air. But the flaps were changed at 500 feet and the captain noticed the plane was above the intended glide slope at 100 feet, which investigators said were opportunities to circle for another try.

The board found that “the captain’s decision to take control of the airplane at 27 feet above the ground did not allow her adequate time to ... prevent the nose landing gear from striking the runway.”

Theater attack victim ‘always kind’ Claire Taylor

The (Lafayette) Daily Advertiser FRANKLIN Over 450 people crowded into a historic Catholic church on Monday to say goodbye to Mayci Breaux, one of two women killed in a shooting rampage at a movie theater four days ago in Lafayette.

Breaux, 21, was remembered as a kind young woman with a beautiful smile who loved her family. The Rev. Lloyd Benoit told mourners at the Church of the Assumption that he knew Breaux from the years she attended Hanson Memorial High School in Franklin.

“She was always kind, always polite and always with that characteristic smile,” Benoit said. “In many ways, Mayci radiated God’s love to those around her. Through her we experience, in some way, God’s incredible love.”

The “evil” act that took Breaux’s life was not the will of God, Benoit said, but “the result of a troubled person who made the decision to take innocent lives, and no one knows why.”

Unsure whether it will spill over to Wall Street Adam Shell USA TODAY

Today’s speculative Chinese stock market is being compared to the Dutch tulip bulb craze in the 1600s and the Nasdaq’s dotcom bubble in 2000. Both ended badly, with the bubbles bursting in spectacular fashion.

The Shanghai composite index, after Monday’s 8.5% drop, its worst day in eight years, is deep in bear-market territory. The big drop also pushed the Greek debt crisis off Page One and made the mainland China stock index Public Enemy No. 1.

“In the Netherlands, there once was tulip mania,” says Axel Merk, chief investment officer at Merk Investments. “This is China’s variant.”

When the stock market of the world’s second-biggest economy falls nearly 30% below its June peak, it conjures up all sorts of fears, things like economic tumult and the psychological toll big losses have on investors. But the big fear is whether the bursting of the Chinese stock market bubble — the market ran up more than 150% in a 12-month span before plunging — could infect other economies and markets.

Will a crash in the fledgling local Chinese stock market —which has been propped up by the Chinese government and fueled by local, inexperienced mom-andpop investors buying stocks with borrowed cash — exacerbate an already slowing Chinese economy?

“The answer: It’s too early to tell,” says Michael McNiven, a portfolio manager at Cumberland Advisors. “China has a set of (market) circumstances that create built-in volatility that is not related to the global economy per se. The Chinese market is not as directly related to U.S. markets as one might think.”

One camp says that since only a small part of the Chinese popu-

WHY CHINA’S UPHEAVAL HAS RATTLED INVESTORS

Shanghai’s 8% plunge biggest in eight years Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY

Chinese government efforts to shore up the stock market went for naught Monday, as the communist country’s exchanges recorded precipitous drops.

The benchmark Shanghai composite index fell 8.48%, the biggest drop in more than eight years, and the country’s second exchange in the southern city of Shenzhen fell 7%.

The dramatic plunge wipes out almost all the gains made since the government intervened to stanch a massive selloff earlier this month.

Monday’s fall on top of a 2.4% drop Friday left the Shanghai index just 6% above its low point this year.

“Deleveraging pressure keeps building up ... the market is waiting for a technical correction,” said Dai Bo, equities analyst at Hua Xi Securities.

Over the past year, China’s main stock indices had almost doubled in value as the government encouraged people to borrow money at low interest rates to invest savings in the stock market.

The bubble began bursting in late June, and by July 9 the

lation speculates in stocks, big losses are unlikely to add up to a sizable negative wealth effect and cause a big hit to consumer spending in China.

The selloff this week is due to fears that the Chinese government, which earlier this month took drastic steps to stabilize the stock market, plans on providing less future support.

Continued turbulence could result in a negative hit to investor confidence, dent risk-taking and cause a worse economic slowdown, McNiven says.

China’s clout on the world economic stage adds to investor angst, explains Michael Farr, CEO of money-management firm Farr, Miller & Washington. For years, China has been building out its

infrastructure, soaking up huge amounts of commodities, ranging from metals to energy to agriculture, to meet soaring demand.

“Recently, however, it has become much more clear that growth in the Chinese economy is slowing,” Farr says..

The economic slowdown in China has already taken its toll on commodities, like oil, which is down more than 50% from its high in June 2014.

Wall Street is also shaken by the fact that steps taken by the Chinese government recently to stabilize Chinese stocks — such as restrictions on selling, encouraging big investors to buy more shares to prop up prices and halting trading on hundreds of stocks to stem the downward pressure — only worked temporarily.

Now the fear is that Chinese authorities are willing to see some air come out of the stock bubble.

There are ample ways Chinese market troubles can “spill over into other markets,” Farr explains. Volatility in China results in asset flows to the more stable U.S., which adds up to a stronger dollar, a negative for the profit of U.S. companies that do a lot of business abroad.

U.S. automakers, tech and health care companies, and fastfood companies will suffer an earnings hit if China slows.

Barry Bannister, an equity strategist at Stifel Nicolaus, doesn’t see a major spillover effect from China.

“The Chinese stock market is narrowly owned and not a free market reflection of the economy,” Bannister says.

Bannister notes that the U.S. economy, unlike back in 1929, suffered little lasting damage after the 1987 stock market crash on Wall Street, an example that suggests China’s market meltdown doesn’t have to cause global havoc.

“1987 was barely a ripple in U.S. GDP despite similarities to 1929,” he says.

for consumers, what value the site may hold is buried within a community of lurking strangers.

Twitter reported in April that some of its online advertising auctions in the first quarter offered so little return on investment that online marketers balked at paying the prices Twitter was asking. After almost a decade, “Twitter is still trying to figure out its business,” said Brian Solis, analyst with San Franciscobased industry research firm Altimeter Group. (Altimeter was acquired by consulting firm Prophet last week.)

Two years ago, as Twitter was preparing for its IPO, this column pointed out how daunting a challenge it would face from its two larger rivals. This year, Wall Street expects Google to boost revenue by $18 billion, while Facebook is seen growing its top

line by $4.6 billion.

Twitter is expected to add $800 million in new sales, or just 3.5% of the combined 2015 total for the three companies.

In the second quarter, Twitter’s sales are forecast to increase 54% to $481 million. Facebook’s sales are expected to increase 37%, but to nearly $4 billion.

As it plays catch-up on sales and profit, Twitter’s future leadership structure remains unsettled, as it’s yet to hire a permanent replacement for former CEO Dick Costolo.

Nine years after its founding, Twitter remains a profitless, distant No. 3 in its largest business — a very weak competitive position. Unless the company hires a new CEO who can quickly revive its fortunes, Twitter looks headed for either permanent niche market status or takeover.

market fell 30%, wiping out $3 trillion worth of assets.

The government, which had pledged a more hands-off, freemarket approach to managing the world’s second-largest economy, abruptly changed course and stepped in with measures that made it harder to sell — large shareholders were simply barred from trading — and easier to buy stocks.

Those actions temporarily turned around the market and helped 90 million ordinary Chinese who had invested in stocks, but the government may only be delaying pain for investors who jumped in at the top of the market, analysts said.

user growth. Twitter shares closed Monday at $34.70, near a 52-week low and off 1% for the year. The San Francisco-based social media company is expected to post operating and net losses of more than $500 million in 2015, according to Rosenblatt Securities, despite surging sales.

That figure is on top of the $1.55 billion in aggregate operating losses Twitter incurred during the five years ended in 2014.

The investor money Twitter has burned through has come and gone like the dozens of executives who’ve joined and then departed the company since its founding in 2006.

During those same years, hundreds of millions of consumers have visited Twitter but decided not to sign up for its service.

In an 8,500-word Internet post called, “What Twitter Could Be,”

early Twitter investor Chris Sacca this month flagged what consumers have already shown to be its most persistent flaw: Twitter is too difficult for the average consumer to use.

“Almost 1 billion users have tried Twitter and not stuck around,” wrote Sacca, among Twitter’s largest outside shareholders at the time of its November 2013 IPO. That sure sounds like a blown opportunity.

After nine years of watching users come and go, the company last week unveiled what it calls a “Safety Center” to help protect users from being bullied or harassed on the site. How’s that for attention-to-user experience?

True, Twitter is an important tool for those trying to build an audience, including members of the media, celebrities, musicians, artists and pro sports teams. Yet

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

As the first Federal Reserve interest rate hike in nearly a decade nears, so does the importance of every Fed meeting, policy statement and pronouncement.

The Fed kicks off its two-day July meeting Tuesday, and Wall Street will parse the Fed’s postmeeting statement to see whether the language jibes with a coming rate hike, perhaps as early as September, as Fed chair Janet Yellen hinted earlier this month in her testimony before Congress.

Interest rate deliberations come at a time when financial markets are again experiencing turbulence from abroad. While the Greece debt crisis has faded from the front pages after an 11th-hour bailout deal, investors

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

are confronted with a new, more present danger in China, whose stock market is in free-fall, conjuring comparisons to the U.S. dot-com stock crash that began in spring 2000.

Wall Street, no doubt, will be looking for clues from the Fed as to whether the Chinese market storm is enough to give them pause and hold off on rate hikes until they can get a better handle on whether the latest global headwind out of China will weigh on U.S. growth.

In her comments to Congress two weeks ago, Yellen insisted that the conditions in the U.S. — namely a strengthening labor market and rebounding economy — suggest that the appropriate time for a rate hike is nearing.

While Wall Street knows a hike is coming, investors might get spooked if Yellen hints at a rate hike in the very near future.

Investors think drugmaker has high upside Q: Should I invest in Pfizer?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Giant drugmaker Pfizer reports its quarterly results Tuesday. Investors are hoping the bar is set so low — beating it could be that much easier.

Analysts who follow Pfizer expect the company to report a second-quarter adjusted profit of 52 cents a share, S&P Capital IQ says. That’s a decrease of 10% from the period a year ago. Revenue is also expected to fall by about 10% to $11.4 billion.

These numbers, showing year-overyear declines, might seem disappointing at first. But shares of the stock are up roughly 10% this year. Investors appear to think expectations for Pfizer are so low the company should be able to do better. Pfizer has beaten expectations for adjusted earnings each of at least the past five quarters. Analysts figure the company will return to growth in 2016 — and are calling for the company to post 12% adjusted profit growth again that year.

The optimism after 2015 ends perhaps explains why analysts think Pfizer could be worth $37.58 a share in 18 months. If they’re right, that’s 10% upside from the price Monday. But these bullish projections need to pan out. Pfizer isn’t a cheap stock, as it’s trading for roughly 24 times earnings over the past 12 months, which is roughly a 26% premium to the market.

13 major companies back Obama’s climate-change goals David Jackson @djusatoday USA TODAY

The Obama administration recruited some bigname corporate assistance Monday to help push its climate change plans in the United States and across the globe.

Thirteen major companies — from Alcoa to Walmart — made anti-pollution commitments that mirror the president’s plans and agreed to back the administration’s efforts at climate change talks later this year.

WASHINGTON

SAUL LOEB, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

President Obama’s climate-change plan “will cut nearly 6 billion tons of carbon pollution through 2030,” the White House says.

“They’re setting an example for their peers and their industries,” White House senior advis-

er Brian Deese said.

In making what the White House calls the American Business Act on Climate Pledge, companies agree to reduce their carbon emissions and invest in more clean-energy alternatives, the White House said in a statement.

In addition to Alcoa and Walmart, other participants are Apple, Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Cargill, CocaCola, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, PepsiCo and UPS. Their commitments add up to more than $140 billion in “new

low-carbon investment” and more than 1,600 megawatts of new renewable energy, the White House said in a statement.

Company leaders met Monday at the White House with Secretary of State John Kerry and other administration officials.

The 13 companies also agreed to support the Obama administration as it seeks a global climate change deal later this year in Paris.

Congressional Republicans said it’s fine for companies to explore energy alternatives voluntarily but that Obama’s climate change policies are unrealistic

and will put excessive burdens on small businesses.

Cory Fritz, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, said the private sector “creates growth, opportunities and environmental progress” better than any government.

Obama has pushed his climate change agenda through executive actions, including new restrictions on power plants, and with bilateral agreements.

Overall, the administration’s climate change plan “will cut nearly 6 billion tons of carbon pollution through 2030,” the White House said.

AUSTELL , GA . Ed Helms has all the essential qualities for a Griswold paterfamilias in a Vacation movie: affability, earnestness and a tendency to walk right into mishaps.

Headlining the next chapter of a classic comedy franchise (in theaters Wednesday) isn’t nerve-racking for him. What is, though, is strapping into a screaming roller coaster.

“I don’t know how my 40year-old body is going to respond to this,” Helms says on a brisk morning at Six Flags Over Georgia, the theme park transformed into the Walley World set for the new Vacation.

The actor, best known for TV’s The Office and The Hangover films, plays lovably nerdy Rusty Griswold, who leads his clan on a quest to reach Walley World, just as his dad, Clark (Chevy Chase), did 32 years ago in the original Vacation.

“When I first got the script, I was like, ‘They’re remaking this? No way! I’m not even going to read it.’ ”

The family reaches its destination after a series of trials that would impress Odysseus, and Rusty rides the treacherous Velociraptor, an enhanced version of Six Flags’ Ninja coaster.

On this day sitting under Sky Buckets just within sight of Thunder River, Helms hasn’t yet boarded the towering thriller, but he’s feeling a little skittish.

The Mind Bender was the main attraction when he was a kid growing up in Atlanta,“but it’s now sort of insignificant,” he says. “This thing looks insane.

“I could break something, I could get dizzy and pass out, I could have spontaneous upchuck or diarrhea. Those are all very real possibilities.”

Helms, now 41, was always the top choice for writer/directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. “He’s an everydad in the same way that Chevy was an everydad for that era,” Goldstein says.

Chase, 71, reprises his role for

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

a scene in which Clark and wife Ellen (Beverly D’Angelo) reconnect with the younger brood. He asked to see early footage of the film, Helms says, “and he was really laughing at it, which pretty much validated all of my life choices up till now.”

While Clark is still very much the same guy, Helms felt he had freedom to bring “his own mojo” to a grown-up Rusty — mainly because there had been many Rustys before him, including Anthony Michael Hall (Vacation) and Johnny Galecki (1989’s Christmas Vacation).

The character is like Batman in that way, Helms figures: “I’m sure Christian Bale will be the next Rusty Griswold.”

Rusty Griswold (Helms), with his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), hears the call of the moose again.

A new Seuss is on the loose!

We’re having a 1950s moment in the book world.

First came Go Set a Watchman, the instant best seller by Harper Lee that’s making waves for its shocking portrayal of BOOK Atticus Finch as a REVIEW bigot, if not exactly JOCELYN winning critical MCCLURG plaudits.

And now here’s What Pet Should I Get?, a newly discovered kids’ title from Dr. Seuss believed to date to 1958-62.

Look for tiny beginning readers who are just sharpening their critics’ pencils to flash a big thumbs-up for this cute entry into the Seuss canon.

Adult critics (and who wasn’t raised on a dose of the good doctor?) might have a few quibbles, but it’s hard not to smile at this retro charmer.

The story is simple: A brother and sister go to the pet store with permission from Mom and Dad (who are nowhere in sight) to “pick just one” pet to bring

WHAT PET SHOULD I GET? eeeE Dr. Seuss Random House 48 pp., ages 4 and up

home by noon.

But it’s so hard to “Make Up Your Mind,” as a banner proclaims! Brother wants a dog, sister wants a cat … or a rabbit, or a bird, or a fish.

And what the heck is that long-nosed thing called a Yent that could live in a tent?

Now the grown-up critic weighs in: The rhymes are a bit mundane. The zaniness level, by Seuss standards, is muted.

Compare Pet to the more spectacularly wild classic One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, which features the same kids and may have been the reason Seuss (real name Theodor Seuss Geisel) left Pet in a drawer.

Still, the publisher has done a wonderful job adding color to Seuss’ black-and-white drawings, which are as imaginative as ever.

And kudos to Random House for an eight-page afterword explaining the story behind Pet’s discovery and publication (something that would have behooved Harper Lee’s publisher), and for suggesting that 21st-century families shouldn’t adopt from pet stores. (PETA has applauded.)

Parents who rush out to buy Pet should be prepared for little voices begging for a furry friend.

So what pet should they get?

I vote for the cat. To dog lovers, I say, “Rats.”

We might find a new kind.

A pet who is tall.

A tall pet who fits in a small space that is small.

My mother might like this pet best of them all.

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kyra Haas

Boyfriend needs to learn to apologize

Heat stroke Trent said that of all of the heat disorders, the most serious is heat stroke, also known as sunstroke. Heat stroke occurs when the body’s cooling mechanism completely breaks down. A person’s body temperature may be very high (at least 104 degrees) but he or she is not sweating. The skin will be flushed and the pulse rate rapid. Other symptoms may include confusion, agitation, lethargy or loss

Dear Dr. Wes & Kyra: I’m 17. My mom loved my boyfriend for the whole year we’ve dated.

She even invited him to go to Mexico with us, as long as he paid his expenses. He did pay his share, but only a couple days before we left. We had such a fun time there and my mom seemed OK, but when we got back she told my boyfriend off for “disrespecting her” by waiting so long to pay up. He stormed off, she got mad, and now she won’t let me see him except at school.

We’ve spent every hour of the day together for the last year and I don’t know what to do!

Kyra: If this move is only strike one, then I don’t think your boyfriend should be sent back to the dugout just yet. However, it’s difficult to determine whether this is his first offense.

If your mom only mentioned the expenses once and didn’t tell him when he had to pay, her reaction is too extreme. But if she gave him a deadline and prodded him over an extended period of time, only to have him blow her off until right before the trip, then her anger is justified.

Regardless, it would’ve been best to address the conflict before the trip.

Taking someone on a vacation to Mexico only to return and shun him for being disrespectful in the past is misleading. Ask your mom if something else happened on the trip that upset her. She might be channeling anger about a different incident into something she can more easily verbalize.

Keep your tone neutral and your motives easy to understand. Accusations and yelling will not resolve anything. Your goal is to get your mother to where she can admit she mishandled the matter and to get your boyfriend to apologize for whatever the problem actually is.

Don’t let a minor dispute derail a yearlong, trusting relationship. Be the bigger person and bring the people you love up with you.

Wes: After a year, it’s a wonder your mom and your boyfriend haven’t gotten into conflict before. Any kind of a relationship — family, dating, friendship — will fray a bit with time simply because people can’t coexist and not have a difference of opinion. On one hand, this could make things easier because they can

RECREATION AND LEARNING DURING RETIREMENT AREN’T JUST FUN AND GAMES; research has shown that exercising the mind and body can stave off Alzheimer’s disease.

Families hard-hit by soaring elder care costs New York (ap) — Doris Ranzman had followed the expert advice, planning ahead in case she wound up unable to care for herself one day. But when a nursinghome bill tops $14,000 a month, the best-laid plans get tossed aside.

Even with insurance and her Social Security check, Ranzman still had to come up with around $4,000 every month to cover her care

in the Amsterdam Nursing Home in Manhattan.

“An awful situation,” said her daughter, Sharon Goldblum.

Like others faced with the stunning cost of elderly care in the United States, Goldblum did the math and realized that her mother could easily outlive her savings. So she pulled her out of the home.

For the two-thirds of Americans over 65 who

are expected to need some long-term care, the costs are increasingly beyond reach. The median bill for a private room in a U.S. nursing home now runs $91,000 a year, according to a report from the insurer Genworth Financial.

One year of visits from home-health aides runs $45,760.

Goldblum estimates that she and her mother spent at least $300,000

over the last two years for care that insurance didn’t cover.

“If you have any money, you’re going to use all of that money,” Goldblum said. “Just watch how fast it goes.”

How do people manage the widening gap between their savings and the high cost of caring for the elderly? Medicare doesn’t cover longterm stays, so a large swath of elderly people

wind up on the government’s health insurance program for the poor, Medicaid. For those solidly in the middle class, however, the answer isn’t so simple. They have too much money to apply for Medicaid but not enough to cover the typical three years of care.

Take precautions to avoid heat-related health woes

By Janice Early Lawrence Memorial Hospital

It’s that time of year when people participate in more outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, fishing and gardening.

But beware! Too much time spent in the hot sun can occasionally lead to heat disorders.

Caleb Trent, a boardcertified emergency physician at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, says the best advice for avoiding heat-related conditions is to use common sense and know your limitations.

“No matter what your normal activity level is, when the heat and humidity increase, so does

your risk for heat-related problems, including heat stroke, heat exhaustion or heat cramps,” Trent said.

Certain people are more susceptible to the effects of excessive heat than others. They include the elderly, people who drink alcohol to excess, and anyone who is taking certain medications that promote the loss of salt and water from the body.

Examples include diuretics and antihistamines.

Trent explained that when your body temperature rises, either be-

— Caleb Trent, Lawrence Memorial Hospital physician

cause of the air temperature or exercise, your body releases excess heat by sweating. As the sweat evaporates from your skin, your body cools off.

At the same time, your heart pumps more blood and dilates the blood vessels on the skin surface so that even more heat can

be released.

In order for the sweat to evaporate and for the blood vessels to dilate, the air temperature needs to be cooler than your body temperature, and relatively dry. In hot, humid weather, it is more difficult for sweat to evaporate. Thus, your body,

unable to cool itself, produces more sweat. This causes even more loss of body fluid and salt.

Lifestyle changes may guard against memory loss Washington (ap) — The latest Alzheimer’s research has a clear theme: Change your lifestyle to protect your brain.

It will take several years for scientists to prove whether some experimental drugs could at least delay Alzheimer’s disease, and an aging population is at risk now.

Whatever happens on the drug front, there are generally healthy everyday steps people can take — from better sleep to handling stress to hitting the books — that research suggests just might lower the risk of Alzheimer’s.

Making these lifestyle changes “looks more promising than the drug studies so far,” said Dr. Richard Lipton of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, whose lab researches what makes up healthy aging. The findings on stress prompted Lipton to take up yoga.

Here are five tips to help guard your brain against memory loss, based on research at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference:

Get better shut-eye Studies of more than 6,000 people linked poor sleep quality — and especially sleep apnea — to early memory problems called mild cognitive impairment, which in turn can raise the risk of later Alzheimer’s. Other research showed poor sleep can spur a brain-clogging protein named amyloid that’s a hallmark of Alzheimer’s.

Talk to your doctor if you’re having sleep problems, advises Dr. Kristine Yaffe of the University of California, San Francisco: “Sleep disorders are so common, and we think many are quite treatable.”

Apologize

that he underestimated the impact it had on your mom’s stress level before the trip, that he did not realize at the time how he had disrespected her, but now he does, and that he won’t let it happen again.

Do not under any circumstances let him say that he’s “sorry she got upset” or that she “misunderstood.” That’s not a real apology. It’s an excuse, and it will send her through the roof.

Your mom did what we often recommend by inviting your boyfriend to join you on vacation.

I’m about to leave on mine and I’ve planned it carefully so we can do everything we want to do. I hate last-minute surprises and I suspect your mom felt much the same way in the days leading up to the trip.

Your boyfriend’s late payment stressed her out. Perhaps when he paid up, she set aside her frustration so you could have a nice time, only to let her anger creep up on her later. He didn’t see that coming and thus over-reacted.

Unfortunately, at this age, many boys aren’t good at getting themselves out of such situations and may instead dig themselves in deeper. I’m going to push what Kyra suggested a step further and suggest that you tell your boyfriend he needs to fall on his sword and apologize with no “ifs,” “ands,” and especially no “buts.” He needs to state that he was wrong,

Programs are designed for those older than 50, but are open to any age if space is available. Those over 60 receive a 10 percent discount on most programs and activities.

Gayle Sigurdson, Lifelong Recreation programmer, said education has a direct relationship to health, both mental and physical. But it’s also a way to connect and develop a new circle of friends.

“When you’re an older adult or lucky enough to be retired, you have more discretionary time,” she said.

“And so the way you find your peer group — you no longer have the co-workers, and you’re not hanging out with other parents at the school — is through shared interests. And especially when seniors relocate as part of their retirement.

Findings mixed in Social Security, Medicare checkup Washington (ap) — Looking at the big picture, the financial health of Social Security and Medicare doesn’t appear to have worsened.

Last week’s annual check-up found that Social Security’s retirement trust fund has enough money to pay full benefits until 2035, a year later than previously projected. Medicare’s giant trust fund for inpatient care won’t be exhausted until 2030, the same date as last year’s report.

But below those reassuring projections, program trustees said there’s cause for concern. Some 11 million people who receive Social Security disability face steep benefit cuts next year — unless

retirement — those between the ages of 55 and 64 — have retirement accounts, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. The median balance is $104,000.

Combined with other savings and income, that amount might provide some retirees with all they need for decades.

But everything changes when, for instance, an aging father with dementia requires more help than his children can manage.

“Within the first year most people are tapped out,” said Joe Caldwell, director of long-term services at the National Council on Aging. “Middle-class families just aren’t prepared for these costs.”

Many who can afford it buy insurance to help pay for long-term care years in advance, when insurers are less likely to reject them. But even those with insurance, like Ranzman, come up short. Forced to improvise, they sell the house and lean on family.

Some can save money by switching to different facilities. On average, a shared room in a nursing home runs nearly $11,000 a year less than a private room, and a room in an adult-family home runs cheaper still.

Still, there’s not a lot of room for creativity, said Liz Taylor, a self-employed geriatric care manager in Lopez Island, Washington.

“The amount of care you need dictates the price,” she said, “and there aren’t that many ways around it.”

Hiring an aide to spend the day with an elderly parent living at home is often the cheapest option, with aides paid $20 an hour in some parts of the country. But hiring them to work around the clock is often the most expensive, Taylor said.

Congress acts. Medicare’s outpatient premium could go up dramatically for a subset of beneficiaries — about 7.5 million people.

Here are five things you need to know about the 2015 Social Security and Medicare trustees reports:

Alarms for disability program The disability trust fund is expected to run out of money late next year, right in the middle of a presidential election.

That would trigger an automatic 19 percent cut in benefits.

The average monthly benefit for disabled workers and their families is $1,017. That means the Evicted To Roslyn Duffy, it seemed that her mother, Evelyn Nappa, had everything she needed. After a stroke made it difficult to live alone, Nappa moved to Seattle to be near her daughter and soon settled into The Stratford, an assisted-living facility.

With the sale of her old house in Arizona, Nappa’s savings appeared sufficient to cover 10 years at The Stratford. Duffy said that the home’s directors told her not to worry about her mother running out of money and winding up on Medicaid, even though the government program pays just a portion of what many facilities charge.

As Nappa’s dementia progressed, she needed more attention. That meant moving her from an independent unit that cost $3,000 a month, to a dementia unit that cost $6,000. Trips to the emergency room, hearing aids and other costs that Medicare didn’t cover added up.

Soon enough, the money that was supposed to last 10 years was gone in two.

Two months later, she received a letter saying her mother had 30 days

typical beneficiary would see their benefits reduced by $193 a month.

The report said the “urgent threat” of insolvency requires prompt action

by Congress.

Cost-of-living increase unlikely Unlike most private pensions, Social Security benefits have built-in inflation protection.

The average Social Security check is $1,220 a month, and beneficiaries count on their annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, to preserve the purchasing power of their benefits.

But the trustees projected there will be no COLA at the end of this year. It would mark only to find a new home. Duffy succeeded in keeping her mother at the Stratford for two months until social workers helped line up an adult family home willing to take Medicaid payments. But the stress and the change of surroundings strained her mother’s health, Duffy said. Six weeks after moving, she was dead.

New home Ranzman’s story has a happier ending. Her daughter pulled her out of the Amsterdam Nursing Home and rented a house in Smithtown, Long Island, with a patio and a backyard. Ranzman’s daughter, Goldblum, noticed that Ranzman’s memory improved quickly. Her mother seemed happier and more alert.

Goldblum paid $36,000 a year for the house and her mother’s insurance paid the home-health aides.

The move saved $250,000 a year in expenses.

What’s more important to Goldblum is that her mother seemed content when she died in April at age 86, surrounded by family. “It was a wonderful ending,” she said.

the third year without an increase since automatic adjustments were adopted in 1975.

Medicare premiums spike?

Some beneficiaries may face steep premium increases for Medicare Part B, which provides coverage for outpatient services.

For about 70 percent of beneficiaries, premium increases cannot exceed the dollar amount of their Social Security cost-of-living adjustment.

Because no COLA is currently expected for 2016, increased costs of outpatient coverage would have to be spread among the remaining 30 percent.

That would result in an

increase of about $54 in the base premium, bringing it to $159.30 a month.

It works out to paying 52 percent more.

Price of postponement Every year the Social Security and Medicare trustees deliver a sober warning: Neither program is adequately financed for the long haul.

That means some combination of benefit cuts, tax increases, or in Medicare’s case, reining in health care costs, is needed to keep the programs in balance.

“Don’t focus on the date of trust fund depletion,” trustee Robert Reischauer admonished reporters. “Under current law, both of these vitally

important programs are on a financially unsustainable path.”

The basics Nearly 60 million people receive Social Security benefits, including 42 million retired workers and dependents, 11 million disabled workers and 6 million survivors of deceased workers.

About 55 million retirees and disabled people get Medicare. The hospital trust fund is only part of the program. Coverage for outpatient care and prescription drugs is covered by premiums and other government spending.

Medicare is adding 10,000 new beneficiaries a day as baby boomers reach age 65.

MARIO V. CHALMERS FOUNDATION GOLF TOURNAMENT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Bates, Stewart: New team but still teammates The summer months can drag for college football players, which is why it’s always nice for newcomers to have familiar faces with whom to pass the time.

It won’t be any different for juco teammates Bazie Bates, a safety, and Brandon Stewart, a cornerback, once games arrive and they’re making the difficult transition to Big 12 football.

“We’ve been playing together since 2012,” Bates said. “He knows how I play. I know how he plays.

Just to look over there and see that I have one of my best friends from juco there, knowing he’s going to get his job done, makes it easier. That confidence level goes up on the field.”

Bates and Stewart both red-shirted as freshmen at Trinity Valley Community College in Texas and then played there for two seasons. Both players arrived at mid-semester and participated in spring football.

“The strength and conditioning program is amazing here,” Bates said. “In juco, you don’t really lift like this and you don’t eat like this. And we do speed work every day. Everyone on this team has gotten way faster.”

Bates’ roster weight is 186 pounds, his height 6-foot-1, but in the spring he said he expected to reach 200 pounds by the beginning of the season. Stewart is listed at 6-0, 171 on the roster.

They both played their high school football at Dallas Metroplex powerhouses, Bates at Cedar Hill High, Stewart at Allen High.

Stewart completed spring football on a mission to add weight because unless your name is Deion Sanders, tackling is part of the job description of a cornerback.

“He can hit,” Bates cautioned. “Don’t sleep on him.

Don’t sleep on him. If a receiver runs an out route, he will hit him, no doubt about it.”

Stewart originally committed to California, but said he changed his mind because head coach David Beaty, “earned my trust.”

For an athlete from the West Coast, the Pac-12 is the conference that carries the most prestige. Not so for a Texan.

“For me to get a chance to play in the Big 12,” Stewart said, “it’s exciting for me and my family.”

Stewart said he expects big things right away from Bates.

“He has great athleticism and love for the game,” Stewart said. “He focuses.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL COACH BILL SELF HITS THE BALL OFF THE FIRST TEE to kick off the annual Mario V. Chalmers Foundation Golf Tournament Monday at Alvamar Country Club.

Self fills in as host of Chalmers’ tourney

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, who had been too busy coaching his World University Games basketball team and recruiting to play any golf this summer, grabbed an oversized driver and prepared to hit the ceremonial tee shot at the seventh-annual Mario V. Chalmers Foundation Tournament on Monday at Alvamar.

Fresh off lunch — without any practice swings on the range — Kansas University’s 13th-year coach blasted a straight-as-an-arrow drive estimated about 300 yards.

“First swing in eight weeks.

To be honest, that was 300 all carry. That may have been 330 (yards),” Self said with a smile.

Self had tried unsuccessfully to convince tournament

officials to let Web.com pro golfer Chris Thompson open the proceedings.

“I was ready to go. I didn’t know if Bill was going to do it or not. Bill’s a trooper. I’m sure he’s done things like that before,” Thompson said.

“He hit a good one. It was pretty impressive.”

Self subbed for host/former KU basketball standout Chalmers, who attended the tourney’s Fireside Chat dinner on Sunday, before heading back to Miami before the start of the scramble event on Monday.

Chalmers, who has been subject of Miami Heat trade rumors, needed to return to Florida to continue workouts following offseason arthoscopic knee surgery.

“He hated to not be here,” said Chalmers’ dad, Ronnie.

“He can’t be in two places,

especially with all the uncertainty going on now. I think he showed Miami that he’s serious about being a part of the organization for another year, going back to work out for them. He’d been gone 10 days. (It’s) time to be back.”

Proceeds from tourney activities go toward breast cancer initiatives and the Boys and Girls Club. l Busy time: Self had been on the road recruiting since returning from South Korea and the World Games on July 15.

“We got back on Wednesday night and they had that little deal at the baseball field,” he said of a welcomehome rally for the gold-medal winners. “The flight was at 7 the next morning to go recruit. I know I’m tired. I know our assistant coaches

are tired. Players recover a lot easier because they are a lot younger. It was a great trip. I learned a lot. I think our players did too. It’s time to take it easy for a couple weeks.”

Of recruiting, he said: “I don’t know if we’re doing well or not. I never know in recruiting. Our staff has done a good job getting us in on guys. We still have to close.

I think we’re in good shape with several of the premier players in the country that fit what we do. You know what?

Whether it be Duke, Carolina, Michigan State, Texas ... other people want them too. We’ve got to do a good job closing here in the next couple months.”

Torneden commits to North Dakota State

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High senior quarterback and safety Bryce Torneden wanted to let his college recruitment play out, but he always had his eyes set on North Dakota State.

Torneden traveled to the school on Friday for one of its football camps. Before walking around the team’s facilities with some other recruits on Saturday, NDSU head coach Chris Klieman wanted to talk to Torneden in his office.

“He asked me, ‘What’s it going to take to get you to be a Bison?’” Torneden Please see KEEGAN, page 3D said. “I just told him I need-

ed to find the right time to sit down and tell him. I’ve wanted to commit for a while — I just needed to get up there. He was really excited.”

After announcing his oral commitment to the head coach, he rejoined the group and later shared the news with plenty of happy assistant coaches.

“I’ve kind of been wanting to go there since my sophomore year,” Torneden said. “I didn’t really think I’d have the chance to, but they offered me.

The main coach who recruited Torneden was familiar with his family. NDSU’s offensive line coach, Conor Riley, recruited Torneden’s older brother, Camren, out of high school when Riley was the offensive line coach at Nebraska-Omaha.

Torneden led the Firebirds to an 8-4 record and the Class 6A state semifinals last season, throwing for 1,064 yards and 10 touchdowns, and running for another 1,277 yards and 15 touchdowns. On defense, he had 42 solo tackles, 15

It has been 10 years since Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France for the seventh straight time, victories which were stricken from the record book when Armstrong admitted to a doping program of such sophistication and expense that it defied detection. Except to the naked eye, of course.

As Armstrong blasted through the time trials and climbed the hills far better than any of his rivals, it shouldn’t have been possible for one man to be that much better for that long than the other elite cyclists of his generation, particularly since the best ones had programs of their own. It just didn’t look right and, naturally, it wasn’t.

Armstrong’s been away from the top step of the podium for a decade, but he still sat on the wheel of Chris Froome as the British leader of Team Sky finished his second Tour win in three years on Sunday in a rain-truncated final stage to Paris, a win built largely on one great day in an early mountain stage when he climbed away from the greatest climbers in the world. How was that possible? Well, a lot of people thought the answer was an old one, and maybe it was.

That is the legacy that followed Froome onto the Champs-Elysees and whether it is fair — something that probably won’t be revealed by the event’s drug tests, as we have learned — it is the reality of the sport. No one hits 60 or 70 home runs in baseball any longer, so the suspicions about the game have been quieted in the post-steroid era. But as long as a single rider — particularly a gangly one with a weaving, wildly inefficient style — can separate himself from the pack and then successfully defend that advantage, the talk will continue.

The grumbling about Froome’s methods led Team Sky to release the rider’s performance data from the decisive Stage 10, and for those who get a kick out of comparing heart rate to pedal revolutions to watts per kilo of body weight, it was a field day. The British media said everything looked normal. The French media said it looked doped.

And some fans on the course cast their votes along with the occasional cup of urine toward the Tour leader as he passed.

Leaving that unpleasantness aside — Barry Bonds would not have appreciated similar treatment during his home run trots — there was much more to enjoy than not in this year’s Tour, especially as Froome’s lead was gradually peeled away in the Alps by Colombian climber Nairo Quintana.

With two massive climbs on Saturday, the race effectively finished on the summit of Alpe d’Huez after Quintana desperately escaped the leader’s pack for the second straight day and again sliced into the deficit — which had been more than three minutes as the race transitioned from the Pyrenees to the Alps. Despite Quintana’s efforts, Froome’s advantage held at 1 minute, 12 seconds with only the flat, ceremonial stage into Paris remaining, a margin too large to be contested.

As it was, the race was interesting enough, and not just because of the mystery of what assistance each rider may bring to the line along with his bike. Chris Froome is unable to answer that to everyone’s satisfaction, so you take it as you like.

He did everything else, even if every backward glance over his shoulder proved that while Lance Armstrong is gone, his legacy is far from forgotten.

CLEVELAND QUARTERBACK JOHNNY MANZIEL LOOKS TO PASS during an NFL organized training activity in Berea, Ohio. Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday that veteran Josh McCown will open training camp as the team’s No. 1 quarterback, but that Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner, still has a chance to win the job based on his performance.

Coach: Manziel still has shot at No. 1 job Berea, Ohio — Johnny Manziel had an uneventful summer, but his improved behavior hasn’t changed his position on Cleveland’s depth chart.

Browns coach Mike Pettine said Monday that veteran Josh McCown will open training camp as the team’s No. 1 quarterback, but Manziel, the former Heisman Trophy winner who had a disastrous rookie season, still has a chance to win the job based on his performance.

Meeting with reporters in advance of the team opening camp later this week, Pettine said McCown likely will start the season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 13. However, Pettine said Manziel can potentially unseat McCown.

“I don’t think anything’s changed,” Pettine said. “The repetitions will be handled that way, with Josh as the 1. I wouldn’t say I’m guaranteeing today that Josh McCown is going to be the starter against the Jets. A lot can happen in a preseason.”

Manziel, who spent 10 weeks during the offseason in a Pennsylvania rehab facility specializing in drug and alcohol addiction, reported to the team’s facility on Monday. Unlike last summer, Manziel did not make any headlines with his off-field conduct and Pettine was impressed that the QB recently worked out in Florida with former NFL coach and TV analyst Jon Gruden.

“This was vacation time for a lot of guys, so the fact that he sought out Jon and went down there and worked with him and was thinking about football, to me I see that as nothing but a positive,” Pettine said.

Pettine said the team “felt very comfortable” with Manziel’s plans for the offseason and reiterated that the Browns won’t micromanage their players. The Browns made sure their players followed a prescribed conditioning program and the team’s position coaches occasionally checked in on their players.

Pettine said he didn’t worry about Manziel having a slip-up.

Others are concerned the consensus around finally fixing some of Boston’s most intractable problems, from a creaky transit system to a lack of affordable housing, will evaporate.

For some, there’s a sense that the bid’s demise only furthers Boston’s image as a city of cynics and curmudgeons with a “can’t do” spirit.

The U.S. Olympic Committee officially severed ties with Boston on Monday, saying it was exploring other options after picking it over Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. SOCCER

assisted, and one interception for a touchdown.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound Torneden is expected to play running back for the Bison.

“They told me probably running back just because of the depth,” Torneden said. “When I get there it will probably be limited. I mostly talked to the running backs coach. The head coach, Chris Klieman, told me that I’ll probably be on the offensive side so I’ll probably be running back.

But I’m open to anything and they could also put me at safety or anything.”

Torneden drew some interest from some FBS college football teams, but he wanted to commit before his senior season and he was drawn to NDSU’s winning tradition. The Bison have won four straight NCAA-FCS national championships.

He chose the Bison over Northern Iowa, another school he visited this summer. He also had offers from North Dakota, South Dakota, South Dakota State and Western Illinois.

“I grew up in Texas and I’ve always been a big Longhorn fan,” Torneden said. “But when I got here, my sophomore year I just noticed them

because they were winning their second or third (championship) in a row and I felt like if I worked hard enough I could get there. Instead of (Kansas University) or (Kansas) State, I thought that was a more realistic goal. I’m just glad that I’m finally there.”

With less than a month before the start of practices for his senior season, Torneden is already proud to be a part of his future school.

“Just talking with all of the coaches, a couple of them had some FBS jobs and they turned them down just because of its tradition,” Torneden said.

“It’s a great place to be.

I’m glad I committed.”

Defensive coordinator Clint Bowen will rely heavily on debuting junior college players because so little is back from a year ago. Three players from his defense (Ben Heeney, JaCorey Shepherd and Dexter McDonald) went in the NFL draft.

Cavaliers trade forwards to Blazers Cleveland (ap) — The Cleveland Cavaliers have traded forward Mike Miller and center Brendan Haywood to the Portland Trail Blazers to create salary-cap room and save luxury-tax money.

The Cavs have been shopping Haywood’s expiring $10.5 million contract for weeks and worked out a deal with the Blazers, who will also get two second-round picks from Cleveland.

Both teams confirmed the trade on Monday.

The Blazers are expected to cut Haywood, who barely played for Cleveland last season. Miller was signed last summer, bringing playoff experience and 3-point shooting to the Cavs, but he was hardly used in the playoffs.

Royals use long ball to whip Indians, 9-4 Cleveland (ap) — After celebrating with handshakes and high-fives, the Royals walked off the field as dozens of blueclad Kansas City backers lined the rows behind their first-base dugout.

The fans held up signs and screamed players’ names.

Downtrodden for so many years, these Royals are being treated like rock stars.

Eric Hosmer drove in four runs, Kendrys Morales added three RBIs and the Royals opened a 10-game trip with a 9-4 victory over the spiraling Cleveland Indians on Monday night.

Hosmer connected for a three-run homer in the first off rookie Cody Anderson (2-2) as the Royals, riding the momentum of their acquisition of ace Johnny Cueto, improved to 15-5 in their last 20 games.

“This is a fun team,” manager Ned Yost said.

“We do a lot of things well. It’s a nice, loose atmosphere. We’re playing really good baseball.”

At 60-38, the Royals have equaled the best start in franchise history through 98 games. They had the same record in 1976 and 1980.

“Kansas City is playing consistent baseball, that’s why they’re in first place,” Indians center fielder Michael Bourn said. “They pitch. They hit. They run.

They’re aggressive.”

Edinson Volquez (10-5) worked into the seventh inning for Kansas City, which will welcome Cueto on today. Cueto came over in a trade with Cincinnati, giving the Royals a front-of-the-rotation starter they hope can carry them to a World Series title.

Cueto’s joining a team with big plans for October.

“He’s already got a picture on his phone with his Kansas City uniform on,” said Volquez, who played with Cueto in Cincinnati.

“I don’t know where he found it. He texted me and I was like, ‘Where did you get that picture?’ He said, ‘I can’t tell you.’”

Rookie Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer and Carlos Santana had a solo shot for the Indians, who have dropped five straight.

Before landing Cueto, Volquez was as close as the Royals had to a toptier starter. The righthander is 8-2 in his last 14 starts and 19-6 since June 20 of last season. He allowed three runs and six hits, getting pulled after allowing two walks to open the seventh.

Joe Blanton gave up Lindor’s homer, but worked three innings for his second save.

Hosmer said Cueto,

Cueto will get first start Friday Cleveland (ap) — Newly acquired Royals ace Johnny Cueto will make his debut for Kansas City on Friday in Toronto.

Cueto was acquired on Sunday in a trade with Cincinnati for left-handers Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed. Cueto, who won 20 games last season for the Reds, is still getting personal business in order and plans to join the AL’s best team today.

The Royals felt they needed a proven top-ofthe-rotation starter to solidify their staff and dealt for Cueto, who is 7-6 with a 2.62 ERA in 19 starts.

KANSAS CITY’S ERIC HOSMER ROUNDS THE BASES after hitting a three-run home run in the first inning of the Royals’ 9-4 win over the Indians Monday in Cleveland. Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain scored on the play. who will make his debut for the Royals on Friday in Toronto, is joining a team brimming with confidence.

“It’s an easy group to get along with,” Hosmer said. “We have a lot of fun. When the game starts we play, we give everything we’ve got. We know he’s similar type guy. We’re looking forward to having him.”

After being swept in four straight by the White Sox and falling into last in the Central, Indians manager Terry Francona held a lengthy closed-door meeting Sunday during which players aired their frustrations about a season slipping away. AllStar second baseman Jason Kipnis said the one of the team’s problems was a lack of accountability.

On Monday, Kipnis clarified he was not referring to his manager.

“That comment had nothing with Tito,” Kipnis said. “Tito is our manager — he’s not a baby sitter.”

The Royals wasted no time getting to Anderson, who was coming off his shortest outing this season.

Mike Moustakas singled with one out in the first, Lorenzo Cain walked and Hosmer, who is batting .390 (16 of 41) with four homers and 17 RBIs against Cleveland this season, followed with a 421-foot homer to left-center to make it 3-0 — hardly the start the Indians wanted after their embarrassing weekend.

Jay Bruce hit a sacrifice fly for the Reds, who have lost seven of 10.

Lynn (8-5) allowed a run on five hits and is 7-3 against the Reds, with three victories in 2014 and ‘13. He’s won five of his last six decisions.

The starting pitcher combined to hit five batters. The dugouts were warned in the sixth after Iglesias, who hit three batters, plunked Peter Bourjos for the second time. Iglesias hit two in 34 2-3 innings prior to this start. The Reds have had 46 games started by rookies.

Brandon Philllips singled to start the third and the Reds loaded the bases with no outs before Bruce’s sacrifice fly. The next batter, Bryan Pena, grounded into a double play.

Yadier Molina doubled and Stephen Piscotty singled to start the fourth. Bourjos was hit, loading the bases with one out ahead of the slam by Wong — also the 100th hit for the leadoff man.

Cubs 9, Rockies 8 Chicago — Kris Bryant’s two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted the Chicago Cubs to a victory over Colorado on Monday night.

Colorado had taken an 8-7 lead in the ninth inning on a two-run home run by Carlos Gonzalez, but Bryant hit the second pitch he saw from John Axford (3-4) over the wall in left-center to give Chicago a dramatic victory and snap a threegame skid.

Trailing 7-4, the Rockies scored four times in the ninth to move ahead.

Jason Motte started the ninth by allowing a pinchhome run to Daniel Descalso, a single to Charlie Blackmon and a double to D.J. LeMahieu.

Rafael Soriano (1-0), added to the roster July 20, then came on and gave up Troy Tulowitzki’s run-scoring grounder before Gonzalez roped a two-run home run into right to put Colorado in front.

Addison Russell’s double then drove in Castro, capping the inning and ending the night for Jorge De La Rosa. De La Rosa, who was looking for his third victory of the month, gave up the six St. Louis runs and five hits in 32⁄3 Cincinnati

Interleague Orioles 2, Braves 1, 11 innings Baltimore — Matt Wieters homered leading off the 11th inning, and Baltimore beat Atlanta for its third straight victory.

Wieters hit a 1-0 pitch from Luis Avilan (2-4) over the center-field wall. It was Wieters’ fourth home run, the first since June 25, and his teammates celebrated by dousing him with a bucket of water at the plate.

Brad Brach (4-2) worked the 11th for the Orioles, who hadn’t won three in a row since late June.

Rookie Adonis Garcia homered for the Braves, who have dropped 11 of 15.

Garcia connected off All-Star reliever Zach Britton in the ninth inning to break up a scoreless duel, but Baltimore rallied in the bottom half against former Oriole Jim Johnson.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Presumptuous request precedes wedding day Dear Annie: My daughter is getting married in two weeks.

My 80-year-old mother-in-law is unable to attend, but she called us with a request. Her daughter, “Donna,” the bride’s aunt, will be flying across the country with her two young children to attend the wedding. She asked whether Donna’s two children could have a role in the celebration because she thinks Donna assumed they would be asked to participate after going to the expense of buying three tickets to attend.

We do not feel this is an appropriate request and it puts us in an awkward position. My mother-inlaw is trying to make us feel bad for saying no to something that

Annie’s Mailbox

was never a consideration. Donna has a history of being manipulative. No other children were invited and we do not want other parents to feel bad that their children were not included at all.

If we say no now, my mother-in-law will push even harder, adding more stress to an already stressful event. Can we simply say we are “taking under advisement” and

‘Face Off’ returns to Syfy The makeup, prosthetics and special effects competition “Face Off” (8 p.m., Syfy) returns for a ninth season. A “Project Runway” for the Comic-Con set, “Face Off” finds creative talents inspired by sci-fi and fantasy movies, graphic novels, tattoo art and body painting to compete for a $100,000 prize.

Actress and soap star McKenzie Westmore (“Passions”) serves as host. But she’s more than a pretty face. Her family, the Westmores, have been prominent in Hollywood’s makeup and hairstylist community for generations. George Westmore opened the very first film makeup department in 1917. Members of the Westmore family spent the next nine decades changing famous faces, from the silent films of Rudolph Valentino to “Gone With the Wind” to “Blade Runner” and beyond.

In tonight’s initial competition, aspiring artists must create believable version of alien animals.

O Fans of quirky documentaries and American roots music are in luck. Turner Classic Movies devotes the night to the unforgettable and entirely unique short films of Les Blank. an industrial filmmaker, Blank churned out training movies and promotional shorts for corporations, but found his voice when he turned his camera on the countercultural scene in his own backyard. His 21-minute 1968 movie “God Respects Us When We Work But Loves Us When We Dance” (4:15 a.m.) captured the 1967 Los Angeles “Love-in” that introduced many viewers to the “hippie” lifestyle.

Blank never made corporate movies again.

Many of his best-known works celebrate folk and blues artists and the culture that created them. “Always For Pleasure” (7 p.m.), from 1978, documents the distinct culture of New Orleans. Other films set in Louisiana and its Cajun milieu include “Spend it All” (8:15 p.m.), “Dry Wood” (9:15 p.m.) and “Yum, Yum, Yum! A Taste of Cajun & Creole Cooking” (10 p.m.).

His musical profiles include “Hot Pepper” (11:45 a.m.), about zydeco artist Clifton Chenier; “The Blues Accordin’ to Lightnin’ Hopkins” (12:45 a.m.) and “A Well Spent Life” (1:30 a.m.), celebrating guitarist Mance Lipscomb.

Tonight’s other highlights O “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC).

O An Alabama chemist may have clues on “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Ryan Seacrest goes doorto-door on “Knock Knock Live” (8 p.m., Fox).

O A teen’s murder and a UFO sighting on “Rizzoli & Isles” (8 p.m., TNT).

let it go? — Stressed in Shrewsbury Dear Shrewsbury: Yes, that is one way of dealing with a presumptuous request.

You also can bite the bullet and say firmly, but politely, “No, but we appreciate that Donna is coming and bringing the children.” What someone spends to attend the wedding is up to them. It should not be used as blackmail to get a starring part in the production.

Still, you might consider finding a small role for the children, possibly handing out programs, asking guests to sign a welcome book or directing them to their seats if the kids are old enough to handle the responsibility. It’s a minor effort that will make the chil-
