HIROSHIMA

70 years after the bomb

AT 8:15 A.M. ON AUG. 6, 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan.

One of the few buildings not completely leveled by the blast was the Genbaku Dome shown in this Associated Press file photo. It is now known as the Atomic Bomb Dome and is part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site honoring the more than 140,000 people who were killed by the bomb.

$25 cap eliminated after Kansas realized possible legal violation

Local emotions on weapon of mass destruction still run high

Seventy years ago today, during the final stages of World War II, the United States military dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

American newspaper headlines — including those in the Journal-World — heralded the bomb as a military triumph and scientific breakthrough.

Without question, it was both.

On the ground in Japan, it also was a horrific, fiery event the likes of which the

world had never seen. Some 80,000 people — mostly civilians — were killed immediately and tens of thousands more died later of radiation sickness, according to history.com, though death toll reports vary. Survivors were gruesomely injured, disfigured and poisoned by radiation.

On Aug. 9, the United States dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki. On Aug. 15, Japan’s emperor announced its surrender.

Opinions still differ about the bomb.

“My thoughts on the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima are the same as those of the survivors whose stories I’ve read or heard: Such a horrifying thing as dropping an atomic bomb on human beings should never happen again,” Childs said. “There’s is no benefit to debating who to blame or why it was done. We should focus on eliminating such weapons from the face of the earth.”

Benjamin Uchiyama Uchiyama is an assistant professor of history at KU who specializes in modern Japanese history, particularly wartime history. He lived in the country for a year during graduate school. His mother is Japanese, his father Japanese-American.

The Hiroshima images most Americans know are of the mushroom cloud and post-bombing rubble, revealing the bomb’s immense power, Uchiyama said. “It kind of sanitizes it, it makes it very clean and neat. You don’t see the ugly radiation scars, the charred corpses.”

In Japan, Hiroshima is usually remembered in the context of victim consciousness, and peace activists there use it as an example for why war is inherently terrible, Uchiyama said. But there’s a

to cash for alcohol, gambling or luxuries such as concerts and tattoos.

But, because Kansas officials said their state was the first to limit ATM withdrawals, lawmakers later worried the U.S. government might withhold more than $100 million in welfare dollars. Lawmakers in June authorized DCF Secretary Phyllis Gilmore to increase or eliminate the cap to prevent a loss of federal funds, but the agency said it couldn’t act without guidance from federal officials.

Agency spokeswoman Theresa Freed said rescinding the cap was the best option because HHS officials did not suggest an alternative figure.

“We would be left to guess what an appropriate amount would be,” Freed said.

The cap took effect July 1, but DCF anticipated needing up to a year to make technical changes with benefit cards to enforce it. About 15,000 Kansas residents a month receive cash assistance, almost 74 percent of them children.

Emails obtained previously by The Associated Press through an open records request show federal officials began asking about the ATM cap within days of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signing the welfare measure in April. Their questions still hadn’t been fully answered as of this week, the latest documents showed.

DCF released an email sent Monday to five of its officials by Gary Allen, a regional program manager in Kansas City,

“complicated wrinkle” to that mindset, he said.

“Basically it just ignores Japan’s complicity, or what the Japanese themselves call war responsibility... Hiroshima was not the only atrocity that happened in this war.

Some atrocities were committed by Americans and some atrocities were committed by the Japanese.”

Grover Sanders Sanders, 94, was a U.S. Navy chief petty officer working on destroyers in the Okinawa campaign of WWII. At sea around Okinawa, he saw a Japanese suicide plane dive into a U.S. destroyer just like his, maybe a quarter-mile away. “The bow of the ship was pointed straight up,” Sanders said. “We watched it go under. It’s a terrible sight.”

Another day in the same waters, Sanders’ own ship was hit by a suicide plane — fortunately the plane only struck the gunmount on the back of the ship and its bomb exploded in the water, but six fellow shipmen were killed by shrapnel, Sanders said.

“I’m glad that Truman dropped the bomb, and I know a lot of people are opposed to that, but they don’t realize that the people that suffered from the flaming bombs didn’t suffer any more than the people that suffered on the flaming ships,” Sanders said.

“I feel sorry for the people that died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, but there would have been a million Americans and Japanese killed if they hadn’t dropped the bomb.”

Jim Stokes Jr. Stokes, 92, is also a WWII Navy veteran who served on destroyers in the Okinawa campaign. After Okinawa, Stokes said his squadron returned to the Philippines for R and R and minor repairs, then began preparations for the Japanese invasion. He is glad it never happened.

“Thank goodness with the two atomic bombs we Mo., for HHS’ Administration for Children and Families. Allen’s followup questions ran almost a full page.

“What is the anticipated goal or outcome of reducing the daily withdrawal amount to $25?”

Allen’s attachment said.

“Was there an empirical basis for setting a withdrawal limit of $25 per day?”

Allen referred questions about his email to HHS officials in Washington. A spokesman there noted that Kansas submitted proposed changes for its cash assistance program — including the ATM rule — to Allen’s division last week and said it asked the state to explain how the cap was consistent with providing adequate access to assistance, a requirement in federal law.

Gilmore noted Tuesday that her agency did not propose the cap. State senators added it to the welfare legislation during a debate.

“The amendment was to address fraud and abuse,” said Republican Sen. Caryn Tyson, of Parker, the proposal’s sponsor. “We don’t want to put the program in jeopardy.”

Critics said the cap would force poor families to make multiple trips to ATMs and incur fees each time to get cash for expenses such as rent or utilities.

In a May 19 email, with Allen copied in, a Kansas official told another regional HHS official that poor families still could use their cards at more than 1,100 stores that would allow them to get cash back and at least one in each county. Allen’s attachment pushed for more details — including what options Kansas would offer poor families if access is inadequate.

L awrence J ournal -W orld didn’t have to invade. The casualty rate was going to be fantastically high, not only our own military but the Japanese,” Stokes said.

“Personally, I think Harry Truman did the right job. When you read the reports of the potential casualties for our own military as well as the Japanese people, I have to say I felt he did the right job. A lot of people don’t agree with that.”

Sanako Mitsugi Mitsugi is a Japanese native who moved to Lawrence four years ago.

She’s an assistant professor of Japanese at KU, and visited Hiroshima two years ago. She said her thoughts are with bombing survivors who have advocated the elimination of nuclear weapons, “in the hope that their past does not repeat.”

“The dire consequences of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima should serve as the driving force for denuclearization and remind us of a vision of a future free of nuclear weapons,” Mitsugi said. “In the past, the United States has publicly justified its use of atomic weapons against Japan on the grounds that they ended the war sooner. However, a recent survey shows that fewer Americans are supportive of the use of atomic weapons in Hiroshima. Perhaps now is the right time to reevaluate our beliefs going forward.”

Mitsugi said U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and U.S. State Department officials would attend this year’s Hiroshima event and the ceremony in Nagasaki.

“This is the first time that high-level Washington officials attend the two ceremonies and may be a sign of the change,” she said. “I hope the governments and the civil society in both Japan and the U.S. will continue to work together and strive for a ban on nuclear weapons. As a future generation, we have the responsibility to make this happen.”

Topeka to take another crack at nudity ban Topeka (ap) — Members of the Topeka City Council have agreed to make another attempt at banning public nudity after at least two men were seen strolling naked in the area.

Tuesday, Councilman Jeff Coen referred to a local man who reportedly walks nude along the Shunga Trail, saying he would not like to have to explain the man’s nudity if he were bicycling with his 8-year-old daughter on the path.

Mayor Larry Wolgast said there appeared to be a consensus that council

members should take up the proposal and that it would be placed on the agenda of a future meeting.

The council voted in September last year to send its public health and safety committee a proposal that would make public nudity a misdemeanor. But committee members voted Nov. 18 to send the proposal out of committee with no recommendation on its fate. The council also considered banning public nudity in 2005, but the proposal died for lack of a second.

Cradle

fanfare, “The Cradle of Basketball,” as it’s being called, has certainly attracted attention from Lawrence residents and basketball fans.

Robbins — who attended Wichita State University and notably shot his 2014 film, “The Sublime and the Beautiful,” in and around Lawrence in 2012 — said on Facebook that he released the video as a sort of “beta test” to gauge interest in the project.

Less than two days later, the film had elicited more than 22,000 views and nearly 900 shares.

“The activity on Facebook has been extremely positive, but we’re hoping to roll it out in a much bigger way with opportunities for people to see it,” said Toni Dixon, manager of marketing and communications at Explore Lawrence.

You can catch the film’s official release on the Explore Lawrence website in November. “The Cradle of Basketball” will also tentatively be shown at KU’s DeBruce Center, which is still under construction.

City budget disagreement leads to Facebook flap Town Talk

T

uesday night’s City Commission meeting led to a flap on Facebook when commissioners disagreed about a change to the city’s budget.

City Commissioner Matthew Herbert has a discussion going on his Facebook page about how he’s unhappy with the process

the city used to give preliminary approval to the budget.

In particular, he’s concerned that Commissioner Stuart Boley proposed a $100,000 change to the city’s budget after the offiBoley Herbert cial public hearing for the budget had been night’s meeting, is for closed. The $100,000, as a transitional housing we reported from last program. Herbert thinks

Boley should have brought up the change prior to the public hearing so people could have commented on it if they so chose.

“The process was awful,” Herbert said.

I checked in with Boley about it Wednesday, and he had a different view.

First, he noted that he

spent 10 minutes talking about the $100,000 for transitional housing at the July 21 City Commission meeting. He was ready to add it to the proposed budget at that point, but his fellow commissioners said they wanted to wait until last night’s meeting to address the issue.

Daughter, dad should resolve party spat calmly Dear Annie: I had my high school graduation party at a local restaurant (because our house is too small). My father claimed he was unable to pay for it, and insisted I cover the bill, close to $1,100, saying he will pay me back later.

I realize that my parents’ business sometimes goes through hard times, but Dad still manages to eat out frequently. He’s terrible with money, and I am not sure he will ever pay me back. I told him that I expect complete repayment by the middle of August and if I don’t get it, I’ll start selling his vast collection of unused musical instruments. He doesn’t believe me.

‘Daily Show’ sends off Jon Stewart The gods of irony have conspired for Jon Stewart to sign off from “The Daily Show” (10 p.m., Comedy Central) on the very same night that former “Apprentice” host Donald Trump appears as an actual candidate at the Fox News Republican Presidential Primary Debate (7:50 p.m., Fox News).

Stewart’s 16-year hosting tenure already seems like several lifetimes. When he assumed the job from Craig Kilborn in January 1999, the Clinton impeachment was still the center of political talk and late night humor. Stewart, his writers and researchers have seen audiences through the bizarre presidential election of 2000, the terror attacks of 2001, the selling of the invasion of Iraq in 2002-3, seemingly endless new offshoots of a “war on terror” and presidential election cycles that never seem to end.

One could write whole books about Stewart’s gifts as a comedian and satirist, and many have. But during his time, the show stuck to a very simple idea: The past mattered. It operated on the assumption that public figures’ records and statements were important, almost always well-documented and readily accessible — and frequently hilarious when contrasted with his or her most recent utterances.

Local news and cable news lend themselves to parody.

They seem to exist in the permanent “now,” presenting each story with a breathless hysteria, reporting events without a sense of history or context for an audience too gullible, frightened or bored to do much thinking, never mind fact-checking.

It became the show’s mission to do that.

That, and Stewart’s giddy enthusiasm mixed with occasionally profound concern and rare outrage, won him and his series a loyal audience that was both young and well-educated, a demographic that stood in stark contrast to the viewership for cable “news.”

Under Stewart, “The Daily Show” also became a farm system for comedy talent, helping launch the careers of Stephen Colbert, Ed Helms, Steve Carell and John Oliver, among many others.

To commemorate the event, Comedy Central will air a daylong marathon of “Daily Show” episodes (9:30 a.m.).

Taking care of one set of parents means a willingness to take care of both.

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Secondly, Boley notes that prior to Tuesday night’s meeting, he had staff members add documents from the Lawrence-Douglas County Housing Authority to the budget portion of the city’s online agenda — which is accessible to the public. He said he had those documents added because he clearly intended on talking about the issue during the budget process. He forecast that at the July 21 meeting. He said it seemed reasonable to him to hear from the public, and then have a commission discussion about how it wanted to structure the budget.

“I didn’t feel like it was a big secret that I was looking for $100,000 for that program,” Boley said. “But I’m new. It is important to me that we do things in the right way. I care about process. I really do.”

I didn’t feel like it was a big secret that I was looking for $100,000 for that program.

But I’m new. It is important to me that we do things in the right way.”

— City Commissioner Stuart Boley of the new elements he’s bringing to the position is he’s working hard to create conversations about city business on Facebook. If you remember, he was the commissioner who got a lot of attention for his comments about the city of Topeka and its sewer plant.

His Facebook discussion on the topic includes some comments from city residents about how they were throwing things at the TV during Tuesday night’s proceedings and how the process is “jacked up” and how we “might have to make some noise” about this issue.

So, some folks are fired up. I would point out two more things: First, this was the preliminary approval of the budget. It doesn’t become final until it is approved one more time

on second reading by the commission, likely next week. There will be an opportunity for the public to comment on the budget again before the vote is taken. Commissioners can easily eliminate the $100,000, if that is the will of the commission.

Also, the City Commission does not have a strict policy on public comments anymore.

That has been a hallmark of Mayor Jeremy Farmer’s tenure. He routinely lets people make a comment even after the official public comment portion of an item has ended. My understanding is no one sought to make such a comment, although I also understand several members of the audience left the meeting before Boley brought up the $100,000 item.

BLUEGRASS SASS

Sugar Britches shatters the girl-group mold

By Fally Afani Special to the Journal-World

N

ot all girl groups are sugar and spice and everything nice; and if you don’t like that, then the gals in Sugar Britches will call you out on it… from the stage.

Ashley Zeigenbein, also known as Ziggy, has seen her fair share of hecklers while playing in the band. From behind her accordion, she’s been the victim of a range of horrified reactions from men.

When she gets up onstage alongside guitarist Brianne Grimmer, mandolin player Monica Greenwood, and bassist Kahlen Ryba, the sass tends to run wild. Of course it does, considering the four strong-willed women who make up Sugar Britches. Their harmonizing is high-pitched and pleasant sounding, but the lyrics will tackle anything from booze to boys.

“We get called man haters a lot because we sing about breakups and exes, but that’s what (men) do!” Zeigenbein exclaims at a breakfast table surrounded by her bandmates.

“There’s a big double standard because we’re a girl group.

We call them out on stage.”

Grimmer agrees.

“Everybody calls us crass and vulgar and whatever. But the thing is, all the guy groups, they’re singing about the exact same thing,” she says.

She learned to switch know each other at all until from electric to acoustic, and they met at the Lawrence the band found a balance

somewhere between bluegrass and folk.

“I think for us, our band really prides itself in strong vocals, and folk music definitely leans more towards a vocal focus. It came natural to us,” she says, noting that the strong and supportive folk scene here also played a hand in shaping their musical goals. “I think the folk scene in this town, it flourishes here so much. There’s a huge indie rock thing, too. But there’s a lot of other towns where I don’t know if folk would play as well.”

The female focus Now, not even a year after the band’s formation, Sugar Britches is wrapping up an album and will be heading out on tour mid-August. Their live shows are what seem to garner them the most attention, especially with women.

“I’ve always loved being onstage. I love pretending to be a character and expressing myself through that character,” Ziggy says. “On the other hand, I love inspiring other women, especially young girls seeing women onstage, inspiring other people to be expressive.”

Grimmer notes the conversations they’ve had with female audience members after their shows.

“The more we play, the more women come up and

say, ‘It’s so awesome that you guys tell it like it is,’” she says.

“I first started playing music for boys and booze, but it’s since changed.”

Sugar Britches can sometimes be all jokes, but at this point in the conversation, they get serious. Ryba further remarks on the effect the band has on their female fans.

“I think it’s really inspiring for people to see a bunch of chicks getting up there and doing their thing,” she says.

“We’ve got a really unique take on everything, so keeping that unclassifiable situation that we have going on is really great to just add to the scene.”

An emotional Greenwood concurs.

“I’ve been looking for something like this since the moment I got to Lawrence in 2001. The fact that I found it now, I don’t think that I’d ever let go,” she says. “It’s been something that I’ve really wanted for a really long time.

Singing and performing is a huge part of me, so I’m going to do whatever it takes to keep it going.”

And with a grand wave of her arm toward her bandmates across the breakfast table, she very sincerely declares, “I love these Britches!”

Ominous sign?

A recent discussion about sponsorship signs at Sports Pavilion Lawrence raises doubts about the future of corporate sponsorship at that facility.

D

iscussion of an item that was pulled off the consent agenda during last week’s Lawrence City Commission meeting offers some interesting insight into what kind of sponsors and sponsor signs commissioners might find acceptable at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

The agenda item would have authorized city staff to look at possible amendments to the sign code to govern corporate sponsorship signs at public facilities.

The issue was raised in connection with efforts to secure corporate sponsors to support SPL. Some of the signs or banners that corporate sponsors might want outside the center aren’t allowed under the current code. (Signs inside the facility aren’t covered by the code.) The agenda item didn’t propose any changes but sought authority to prepare some options for commissioners to examine later.

The discussion was initiated by Commissioner Matthew Herbert, who mounted a broad attack on the city’s sign ordinances and particularly any measure that would allow signage at public buildings like SPL that wouldn’t be allowed at private businesses. Herbert even questioned the need for a city sign ordinance, saying that if the code is “so malleable” that the city can simply violate it at will then “perhaps the ordinance doesn’t need to exist.”

Whatever happens with sponsorship signs at SPL, Herbert’s comments on the sign ordinance are an overreaction.

Before making such blanket statements, Herbert should read the entire sign ordinance and envision what Lawrence might look like if all its provisions were thrown out.

The discussion then turned to what kind of signs might be considered outside SPL. After hearing some examples, Commissioner Leslie Soden said she was “not excited” by the idea of large sponsorship signs on the SPL building or permanent banners on light poles in the SPL parking lot. She later added that she was “not excited” by the whole concept of corporate sponsorship of public facilities.

Soden and Herbert were joined by Commissioner Stuart Boley in a 3-2 vote denying the staff’s request for authorization to look at amendments to the sign code.

Based on last week’s discussion, any future consideration of corporate sponsorships for SPL is likely to trigger a lively debate on the commission.

Mayor Jeremy Farmer and Commissioner Mike Amyx voted to authorize the staff to explore changes in the sign code. Herbert voted against that measure but expressed enthusiasm for attracting corporate money that could reduce taxpayer costs for public facilities.

Soden seemed more concerned about the sponsorships themselves than the signs and Boley voted against the measure without commenting.

The last commission saw corporate sponsorships as a potential way to help support SPL. Now, there seems to be some question about whether the current commission will accept corporate sponsorships and the strings and promotional signs that may come with them.

Stay tuned.

Novels trace futility of drug war Washington — Don Winslow, novelist and conscientious objector to America’s longest “war,” was skeptical when he was in Washington on a recent Sunday morning.

This was shortly after news broke about the escape, from one of Mexico’s “maximum security” prisons, of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

Guzman reportedly escaped through a five-foot-tall tunnel almost a mile long and built solely for his escape.

Asked about this, Winslow, his fork poised over an omelet, dryly said he thinks Guzman might actually have driven away from the prison’s front gate in a Lincoln Town Car. What might seem like cynicism could be Winslow’s realism. Fourteen years ago, Guzman escaped from another “maximum security” prison simply by hiding in a laundry cart. With exquisite understatement, The Wall Street Journal reports that his recent escape raised “new concerns about corruption in Mexican law enforcement.”

Winslow, 61, was in Washington to publicize his 16th crime novel, “The Cartel,” a sequel to “The Power of the Dog” (2005). Both are about Guzman and other heads of the Sinaloa and rival cartels.

The novels are, together, 1,200 pages of gripping narrative, mind-numbing carnage and mind-opening reportage about the “war on drugs” that is in its fifth decade. Since President Nixon declared the war, the quality of drugs reaching American

George Will

georgewill@washpost.com

“

Since President Nixon declared the war, the quality of drugs reaching American streets has risen and prices have fallen.” streets has risen and prices have fallen.

One hundred thousand Mexicans have died in drugrelated violence in 10 years.

That’s more than twice the number of American fatalities in Vietnam. Winslow believes that the Islamic State is mimicking the cartels’ “vocabulary of mutilation” to create its charisma of cruelty — Internet videos of beheadings, dismemberments, crucifixions, flayings, immolations, etc. “The Cartel” is dedicated to 131 journalists, all named, who, because of their reporting on drug violence, are known to have died or vanished. “There were others,” he says. And there probably will be more.

Many of Winslow’s lurid passages — all, he says, “inspired by actual events” — are essentially confirmed in Roberto Saviano’s “Ze-

roZeroZero,” a non-fiction book on the world cocaine trade, written by the Italian journalist who has had police protection since he first published in 2006 “Gomorrah,” a report on a Neapolitan branch of the Sicilian Mafia. Saviano, a somewhat overwrought writer, understands the power of economics: One-thousand euros invested in Apple stock in January 2012 would have been worth 1,670 euros 12 months later. But 1,000 euros invested in cocaine in Colombia could have been sold for 182,000 euros in Europe, assuming — a reasonable bet — you could get it past law enforcement.

Mexico is a casualty of a U.S. drug enforcement success. In the 1980s, the South Florida Task Force produced the “balloon effect” — squeeze a balloon in one spot, it bulges in another. The Task Force deflected sea-borne cocaine imports to Mexico.

Hence today’s northward flow of drugs, southward flow of money and drenching flow of Mexican blood as the cartels war with one another and with Mexico’s federal, state and local governments.

Some U.S. emergency room physicians are, Winslow says, glad that Mexicans, using precursor drugs from China, have taken over most manufacturing of methamphetamines because this has “standardized the product,” making it easier for physicians to standardize treatment protocols.

In both novels, Winslow

relentlessly but not unreasonably compares the war on drugs to the war in Vietnam — American “advisers,” “the dull bass whopwhop-whop of helicopter rotors,” defoliants, assassinations, intelligence failures and futility. A man of the left, Winslow has scant sympathy for U.S. foreign policy problems in Central America during the Cold War, when, he says, arming anti-communists became entangled with the drug trade. He favors drug legalization because interdiction “is a broom sweeping back the ocean” and because legalization would financially cripple the cartels. But less bloodshed in Mexico would mean more social regression in America: Today’s levels of addiction are nowhere near the levels that probably would be reached under legalization, even without assuming the marketing measures that probably would be legal. So read his novels as didactic entertainment — you will be vastly entertained while learning many disturbing things — not as policy prescriptions.

Winslow now lives in Southern California not far from the border. When he decided to become a writer he moved to Idaho, where his sister was mayor of the town of Hope. He settled in a nearby area known as — really — Beyond Hope, a good place to begin his path to “The Cartel.”

Wrong name To the editor: It has been reported that the new School of Business building at the University of Kansas will be named Capitol Federal Hall. Now I know that Capitol Federal is a venerated Topeka and Kansas institution that does tremendous public good and that the Capitol Federal Foundation contributed $20 million to the new building. Its name is reflective of many officers, employees, investors and depositors. But its name on an academic building at our flagship university seems inappropriate.

The name adds a tinge of commercial sponsorship to the business school, like that of a golf tournament. And the name is completely out of character with the names of other KU academic buildings. The building would have been more appropriately named BubbDicus Hall, or named after an illustrious business dean or faculty member.

Marvin A. Burris, Topeka

Art process To the editor: The selected artists for the East Ninth Project are finalized. Yes, 24 applications for a national RFQ with a disbursement fund nearing $400,000.

One phase, the “Try It Out” phase, postponed due to lack of applications. All of this happened within a month, when it should have been a minimum of a three-month call.

If any of the arts organizations I worked for received that kind of response, the call would have been im-

mediately extended. When I, personally, apply to calls and the deadline gets extended, it means there has not been enough response. It’s standard. Best practices, if you will. When you have this much money on the table, combined with a troubled start to a large, very visible project, you extend the call deadline.

But why were there so few responses? If you ask those in charge, they will run down a list of the channels: places like Utah Division of Arts & Museums, Maryland Art Place, LinkedIn. Yes, LinkedIn. The list is not impressive.

As someone who has sent out calls for art, this is the list of a very small gallery with a $500 award, not a large, confusing public art RFQ with thousands of dollars at stake.

The whole thing seems rushed, thrown together, and maybe that’s for a reason. Or maybe the real reluctance behind the low turnout is the stink that has followed this project from day one.

After witnessing this poorly executed and rushed process, I simply want to urge all citizens to monitor this project closely.

Climate option To the editor: The announcement by President Obama about new regulations to control greenhouse gas emissions from power plants was made in lieu of any action from Congress. These regulations are needed to reduce the risks posed by climate change: sea level rise, extreme heat, food shortages, damage from extreme weather.

As we approach the Paris climate con-

ference in December, the world is looking to the U.S. to provide leadership on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. “Just say no,” the response from some members of Congress, is not a viable option if we want to preserve a livable world.

With two-thirds of the public, according to one poll, supporting the regulations, efforts to thwart the new rules carry great risk and no reward politically.

If Republicans want to avoid new regulations, they should offer an alternative, market-based solution: a rising fee on carbon with revenue returned to households. According to a study from Regional Economic Models, Inc., carbon fee and dividend would actually achieve better reductions than regulations while adding 2.8 million jobs to the economy over 20 years. This is a conservative approach, as opposed to regulation.

Increasingly, senior military personnel are speaking out on these subjects. These are serious people and we should listen. Delay will only make the process of change more difficult so the president has decided to act in the only way he has at his disposal. Citizens’ Climate Lobby needs your voice as we work to encourage our elected officials to act in a responsible way.

USA TODAY INVESTIGATION

Deadly infections from medical scopes go unreported, raising health risks Peter Eisler USA TODAY

Reports of superbug outbreaks linked to a specialized type of medical scope continue to climb, but government efforts to assess the public health risk are stymied: No one knows how often the infections occur — or where.

Duodenoscopes, which are run down the throat to treat intestinal problems, have been tied to scores of infections and more than a dozen deaths at hospitals

in Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle and other cities. Indiana’s health department recently notified federal officials of two more scoperelated infections that have not been disclosed previously.

But for every duodenoscoperelated illness that’s reported, countless others go uncounted, an ongoing USA TODAY investigation finds.

Many suspicious illnesses in duodenoscope patients never come to the attention of federal authorities, including cases identified by the newspaper in Massa-

chusetts, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and other states. So federal health officials know the cause of the problem — bacteria can lodge in the scopes’ recesses and move from patient to patient — but they can’t discern its prevalence or the magnitude of the threat it may pose.

Some duodenoscope-associated infections aren’t catalogued because hospitals and health departments can’t make a definitive link to the devices. Countless othv STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Experts confirmed a wing flap found on an island in the Indian Ocean belongs to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Wednesday.

Paris Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak expressed slightly less certainty, however, citing a “strong supposition” that the flaperon — confirmed this week to be from a Boeing 777 — was part of the missing jetliner. Analysis aimed at confirming the information would begin Thursday, he said in a separate announcement.

Now, 515 days since the jet’s disappearance, Razak said, “it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from Flight 370.

“We now have physical evidence ... that Flight 370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Razak said.

A Malaysia Airlines statement called the confirmation a “major breakthrough” into why the jet disappeared. “Family members of passengers and crew have already been informed, and we extend our deepest sympathies to those affected,” the statement said.

Flight 370 vanished March 8, 2014, after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, bound for Beijing with 239 people aboard.

Most of the victims were Chinese.

Earlier Wednesday, investigators in France began examining the flaperon, found on a beach in the town of Saint Andre a week ago. The part was taken to the DGA TA aeronautical testing site near Toulouse in southern France.

In addition to determining that the flaperon came from MH370, investigators from Malaysia, France and the USA will examine the metal on the wing piece with microscopes to try to find out what caused the jet to go down.

The French island of Reunion is about 3,500 miles southwest of Malaysia and more than 2,000 miles from the area of the Indian Ocean where Flight 370 is suspected to have crashed. Authorities are searching the beaches of Reunion and other islands in the region for more debris.

Razak thanked the dozens of nations that have aided in the search for the jet and expressed sympathy for the families. Moments before he spoke, a text message alert explaining the findings was sent out to family members of the victims.

“The burden and uncertainty faced by the families during this time has been unspeakable,” he said. “It is my hope that this confirmation, however tragic and painful, will at least bring certainty to the families and loved ones of the 239 people onboard MH370. They have our deepest sympathy and prayers.”

Israel cracks down on Jewish extremists in West Bank Territorial violence targets Palestinians Shira Rubin

Special for USA TODAY JERUSALEM Israeli security forces are struggling to curb a militant settlement movement in the West Bank that has grown more violent.

“Extremist groups are ... becoming more difficult to restrain,” said Udi Levy, who heads a task force charged with preventing attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians. “The young

activists that we are dealing with have begun to take a harder line and begun carrying out acts intended to shock and disturb,” Levy said Wednesday.

Of 141 incidents in the past year, 43 have been attacks on Palestinians rather than properties, Levy said. Two years ago, his unit identified more than 300 incidents, all involving slashed tires, burned olive orchards or racist graffiti on religious sites. None took place on individuals.

The violence stems from a four-decade dispute over competing claims to the land between Palestinians and Israeli settlers.

Jewish extremists are suspect-

spectrum. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack and vowed a tougher line against Jewish extremists.

Police have detained several Israelis this week, including Meir Ettinger, 24, the grandson of U.S.born Rabbi Meir Kahane, Israel’s most notorious Jewish extremist, who was killed by an Arab gunman in New York in 1990. It was unclear whether those arrests were linked to last week's fatal attack, because no evidence or charges were filed.

The Duma arson is the latest deadly assault in the West Bank, where Jewish settlers and Palestinians have long engaged in tit-

for-tat violence. The extremists’ violence has been fueled by Israel’s decisions to dismantle some settlements.

The perpetrators may be affiliated with youth groups that call themselves “Price Tag” because they vow to make Palestinians pay a “price” every time Israel tries to curb the West Bank settler movement.

Shlomo Fisher, a professor at Hebrew University and an expert on Jewish extremism, compared the militants to radical Muslims: “They are alienated from the state and its mores. We’re dealing with a similar situation, where an activism has no limits.”

FDA: Microbes can survive on cleaned device v CONTINUED FROM 1B

ers never get detected, mistaken for other, more routine infections. And even when infections are confirmed as scope-related, they sometimes go unreported because hospitals and health departments aren’t necessarily required to alert federal authorities.

“The number of transmissions is basically unknowable,” says Alex Kallen, an infectious-disease physician who coordinates epidemiological investigations at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “There is clearly a detection problem in identifying (duodenoscope-related) infection clusters.”

When the infections do come to light, Kallen adds, the CDC “does not have a mandatory system for reporting these outbreaks.” Instead, the agency relies on hospitals and local health departments to report outbreaks on their own initiative.

Duodenoscopes are used about 650,000 times a year in the USA, often to treat blockages in the bile and pancreatic ducts, such as gallstones and tumors. The Food and Drug Administration warned of the scopes’ contamination risks in February, soon after USA TODAY first reported on the problem. But the agency said infection rates appear low and advised that duodenoscopes remain far safer and less invasive than other surgical options for many critical procedures.

“They’re saying the (scopes’) benefit is high, and that’s true, but they don’t really know the risks, because they don’t have solid data on complications,” says Kevin Kavanagh, an ear, nose and throat doctor who heads Health Watch USA, a patient safety group.

“Without knowing the true risks, it’s not really an informed decision. It’s a judgment call.”

DUODENOSCOPE-RELATED INFECTIONS RISING Reports of infections associated with duodenoscopes have climbed steadily, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Admininstration, which requires makers of medical devices to disclose safety incidents involving their products. With 30 reports filed in the first six weeks of this year, 2015 is on pace to have more reports than ever.

Source U.S. Food and Drug Administration FRANK POMPA, USA TODAY

100 notifications of duodenoscope-associated infections from manufacturers since 2013 — and each report can involve multiple patients.

Yet even that FDA tally is incomplete: USA TODAY revealed in April that some scope-related infections haven’t been disclosed in the manufacturer reports, and the agency acknowledges that compliance is spotty. What’s more, the FDA reports are stripped of identifying information, so even when a device problem is disclosed, the public has no way to know where it occurred or how many people were affected.

Bill Warner fought a CRE infection for eight months.

burgh’s Allegheny General Hospital used a duodenoscope to treat her for a blocked bile duct. Tests revealed CRE, a drug-defying bacteria with mortality rates of 40% or more.

“I went on the computer and saw all the stories about people getting these infections from (duodenoscopes),” says Jena Bence, Florian’s granddaughter. “We kept waiting for (Allegheny) to be mentioned, but it never was.”

Florian died in April. A “hospital-acquired” infection was listed as the possible cause, but Allegheny said in a statement that it “did not find any definitive evidence of a scope association … through bacterial cultures performed on (the) devices.”

The cultures are a notoriously elusive way to link a scope to an infection: It can be weeks before the illness emerges and a culture is taken, and scopes typically have been cleaned and reused repeatedly in the interim.

Still, that matching-culture standard was applied when CRE infected duodenoscope patients at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte.

In May, Carla Warner told an FDA advisory panel that her hus-

band, Bill, fought CRE for eight months after a duodenoscope procedure at the hospital in 2013.

She recounted his 60-pound weight loss and the torture of watching his excruciating pain.

“Would you be willing to allow a (duodenoscope) to be used on yourself or a family member?” she asked.

Bill Warner wasn’t the only duodenoscope patient at Carolinas Medical to get CRE, but the hospital and state Health Department decided there was no link.

“We cultured the duodenoscopes,” a hospital statement said, “and did not isolate CRE.” Yet there’s no rule that says a matching bacterial culture is needed to tie a duodenoscope to a suspicious infection.

“A negative culture should not be relied on to rule out a scope as a source of an outbreak,” says Kallen, the CDC official. “It is more of a preponderance of evidence. … If you have other epidemiological links, the scope might well be the source.”

Even when there is hard epidemiological evidence linking a scope to patient infections, cases still go unreported to the CDC. In late 2012, doctors at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh investigated a cluster of CRE infections among duodenoscope patients. Cultures of the scopes revealed CRE bacteria and, based on that and other epidemiological evidence, investigators concluded that the infections were tied to the devices.

The hospital made no secret of the outbreak — it alerted state and local health departments, and hospital officials spoke in local news reports about the infections. But the CDC wasn’t notified, so the case is not on the agency’s list of duodenoscope-associated infections.

THE CASES NOT SEEN

Many experts say duodenoscopes have spread bacteria for decades, but any resulting illnesses typically would have involved routine bugs that could come from anywhere. When an infection cropped up, doctors simply treated it with antibiotics and no one gave much thought to its source.

That changed with the emergence in recent years of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.

“Some transfer of bacteria (from duodenoscopes) is not even going to cause disease … and if you get (an infection) that’s relatively minor, that also isn’t going to get much attention,” says Stephen Kralovic, a physician who

IN BRIEF HUNDREDS OF MIGRANTS RESCUED OFF LIBYA

At least 367 migrants were rescued Wednesday after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya, while 25 bodies had been recovered and more might be missing, the Italian coast guard said.

Cmdr. Filippo Marini with the Italian coast guard said the rescue operation in the Mediterranean north of Libya is continuing and involves seven ships, the Associated Press reported. He said survivors indicated that 400 to 600 people were on the ship.

The shipwreck was about 75 miles northwest of Tripoli, Libya’s capital.

Capt. Donal Gallagher, of the Irish navy, earlier told the AP that 150 migrants were spotted in the water and that rescue efforts by several ships were underway.

helps direct infectious disease response for the Department of Veterans Affairs medical system.

“It’s only when you see something like CRE ... that the problem becomes apparent.”

Duodenoscopes began spreading infections from CRE and other drug-defying bacteria around 2012, but health officials initially believed hospitals were not following scope manufacturers’ instructions for cleaning and disinfecting the devices. It wasn’t until early last year that the CDC warned that the scopes could remain contaminated even when instructions for “reprocessing” them were followed precisely.

Determining the true incidence rate for scope-related infections “is going to be an important area for research,” says Colleen Schmitt, a physician and past president of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. “We want to get that information to our members as well, so we can be sure we understand the extent of the problem.”

THE HUMAN TOLL

The stakes are enormous.

Elsie Florian’s family has filed a lawsuit against Olympus, which made the scope used for her procedure. It alleges that the company knew about the contamination problem with its duodenoscopes and failed to properly alert regulators and hospitals.

“They knew this could happen, that’s what’s most aggravating,” says Deborah Smoody, Florian’s daughter.

Olympus, facing several suits over its duodenoscopes, declined to comment on the Florian case; it says in court filings that the factual allegations are non-specific and the case should be dismissed.

Olympus, Pentax and FujiFilm all say they are working with the FDA to assess any changes needed in their scopes’ designs or cleaning protocols.

Before her surgery, Florian, 76, volunteered regularly at a seniors’ center and considered a move to the more social setting of a seniors’ community. Once the infection attacked, she grew frail, bouncing between the hospital and a nursing home, relying on oxygen machines to breathe.

Florian insisted she’d recover to attend her granddaughter’s wedding a couple of months away in Colorado, but she died three weeks before the trip.

“No one else should have to go through what we did,” Smoody says. “People should know how often this is happening.”

Obama: Iran deal like Iraq War vote

But racial disparities persist in the USA

GOP leaders lining up to reject proposal

President Obama, in a crucial speech on the Iran nuclear agreement Wednesday, argued that the congressional vote that could block the deal is the most consequential foreign policy debate since the decision to go to war in Iraq.

Obama said the same people who supported war in Iraq are opposing diplomacy with Iran, and that it would be a mistake to squander this opportunity to contain Iran’s nuclear program.

The framing of that message appears to be a direct appeal to congressional Democrats; while WASHINGTON

PETE MAROVICH, BLOOMBERG

President Obama speaks about the Iranian deal at American University in Washington on Wednesday.

Since the Iran deal isn’t a treaty, it doesn’t need congressional approval, but can be rejected with a two-thirds vote of both chambers. some opposed the Iraq War, others came to regret their votes to authorize it. Obama will need their votes to sustain a veto.

Since the Iran deal isn’t a treaty, it doesn’t need congressional approval, but it can be rejected with a two-thirds vote of both chambers. On Tuesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee formally introduced a resolution to do just that, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy promised a September vote once the House returns from its summer recess.

The deal, two years in the making, would relax sanctions against Iran in exchange for inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency and for not developing nuclear weapons. Critics, including every major Republican presidential candidate, say Iran cannot be trusted and that the economic benefits of the deal will only strengthen Iran’s ability to threaten Israel and foment extremism throughout the Middle East.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Obama to “avoid tired, obviously untrue talking points about this being some choice between a bad deal and war. Of course it isn’t. He himself has said that ‘a bad deal is worse than no deal.’ ”

Flames from a backfire rise above Highway 20 near Clearlake, Calif., as firefighters continue to battle the Rocky Fire, one of dozens raging in parched Northern California.

The USA’s infant mortality rate hit a record low in 2013, falling to 5.96 deaths per 1,000 live births, or about 23,400 deaths, according to a report issued Thursday.

While health officials cheered those new numbers, they noted that the USA lags behind other nations and that mortality among black babies is far higher than among whites.

Infant mortality in the USA has dropped 13% since 2005, according to the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infant mortality rates are considered one of the strongest measures of a country’s health, because they reflect wom-

Wildfires decimating Forest Service’s budget The Rocky Fire has destroyed 24 residences and scorched 60,000 acres, according to CalFire. An estimated 12,000 people have been evacuated or warned to be prepared to leave.

Doyle Rice USA TODAY

Costs to battle massive, explosive wildfires have decimated the budget of the U.S. Forest Service charged with fighting the blazes, according to a report released Wednesday.

For the first time in its 110-year history, the U.S. Forest Service says it spends more than 50% of its annual budget on firefighting at the expense of other programs to prevent the infernos.

Just 20 years ago, firefighting made up 16% of the annual budget for the Forest Service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“This is a five-alarm fire,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “You’re no longer the forest service, you’re a fire department.”

The report comes as dozens of blazes continue to scorch the parched West in one of the worst fire seasons in the nation’s history, with the typical heart of the wildfire season still to come in bone-dry California.

Nearly 6 million acres have been charred this year, mostly in the western U.S. and Alaska, the National Interagency Fire Center said. That’s an area about the size of the state of New Jersey and is about 2 million acres above average for this time of year.

Due to the cost of fighting fires, the Forest Service has been forced to tap other funds, such as forest-thinning projects, in order to keep up with the massive blazes.

“The agency is at a tipping point,” the Forest Service said in the report, adding its annual budget today is nearly half a billion dollars less than in 1995 when adjusted for inflation.

“To solve this problem, we must change the way we pay for wildfire,” the Forest Service said.

“To solve this problem, we must change the way we pay for wildfire.”

Forest Service report

“Instead of treating catastrophic wildfires as a normal agency expense, we must treat them more like other natural disasters, such as tornadoes or hurricanes.”

The report’s release comes as the Wildfire Disaster Funding Act makes its way through Congress and is mirrored by a similar proposal in President Obama’s 2016 budget, the Forest Service said.

The service says 46 million homes and 70,000 communities are at risk from wildfire in the U.S. The six worst fire seasons since 1960 have all occurred since 2000, according to the report.

Since 2000, many western states have also experienced the largest wildfires in their histories.

Fire seasons are now 78 days longer than they were in the 1970s, and these catastrophic blazes are projected to burn twice as many acres by 2050, the report said.

“It’s a distressing trend,” said lead economist and climate policy manager Rachel Cletus of the Union of Concerned Scientists, an environmental group that issued a similar report last year, but was not involved in the Forest Service report. “The trend is not going away and it’s getting worse, due to climate change and growing development near fire-prone areas.”

en’s well-being, overall access to health care, quality of health care, social and economic conditions and public health practices.

The falling rate in infant mortality reflects progress made in reducing the number of babies born prematurely, said Edward McCabe, medical director of the March of Dimes. Rates of premature birth — before the 37th week of a typical 40-week pregnancy — rose for three decades, peaking in 2006 at 12.8% of all newborns before falling to 11.4% in 2013.

Prematurity puts infants at much higher risk of death.

According to the new report, twothirds of infant deaths were among premature babies.

The USA’s infant mortality rate is nearly three times higher than that of Finland’s and Japan’s.

In terms of infant mortality, the USA ranks last among 26 high-income countries, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, below even former Eastern Bloc countries such as Hungary and Poland.

And infant mortality among blacks — 11.1 deaths per 1,000 births — remains more than twice as high as among whites, according to the CDC study.

Black infants’ high death rates reflect high rates of prematurity.

About 16% of black babies were born premature in 2013, compared with 10% of white infants, according to the study.

Black babies were also more likely than whites to be born very small. Their mothers were less likely to be married but more likely to give birth as teenagers and to suffer pregnancy complications than the mothers of white babies.

Almost three weeks later, he found out he was right.

The 1920s-era cast-iron cannon belonged to Riverside Avenue resident Kip de Moll. The relic was reported stolen July 17 from his front porch in broad daylight. This is the second time the cannon had been swiped in seven years.

“It’s too amazing that we’ve gotten it back twice,” de Moll said.

One of two men suspected of taking the couple-hundredpound cast-iron cannon went to Conant’s store, Conant Metal and Light, the day of the theft and sold the antique for $150, Conant said Tuesday.

Burlington police said arrest warrants were obtained for David Brooks, 48, and Leonard Bessette, 54, both residents of Burlington.

But Fed still on track to raise interest rates as early as September Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

A private-sector employment report fell short of estimates Wednesday, raising questions about the strength of the labor market just as the Federal Reserve is preparing to raise interest rates as early as next month.

Another report, however, showed the service sector exMONEYLINE FINAL MADOFF DEFENDANT GETS 6 MONTHS IN PRISON The last defendant charged in the Bernard Madoff case has been sentenced to six months in prison.

Private payroll processor ADP said businesses added 185,000 jobs in July, below the 215,000 expected by economists. Analysts predict the Labor Department’s closely watched employment survey due out Friday of both private and public sectors will count 225,000 new jobs.

in payroll growth that he’s expecting in July to 200,000 from 223,000 in June as the positive effects of low gasoline prices on consumption ease.

Yet he says monthly job growth

likely would have to fall below 150,000 in July and August to raise serious concerns at the Fed, possibly prompting policymakers to delay a rate hike.

In a post-meeting statement last week, the Fed said it needs to see “some” further improvement in the labor market before boosting the rate. RDQ Economics told clients ADP’s reported payroll increase in July “clears that bar.”

Yet Hurwitz says the Fed will be equally focused on more subtle indicators in Friday’s report.

For example, average hourly wages in June rose a tepid 2% over the previous 12 months, and a sharper climb in July could sig-

nal inflation is poised to pick up, supporting an earlier rate hike.

And, Hurwitz says, a second consecutive big fall in the share of Americans working or looking for jobs could herald a tightening labor market and bigger pay increases in coming months.

Conversely, a surge of Americans into the labor market that pushes up the 5.3% unemployment rate could coax the Fed into waiting to bump up its benchmark rate.

Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply Management said service activity in July and hiring in the sector grew at the fastest pace since 2005. That could support a Fed move next month.

9 CEOS PAID 800 TIMES MORE THAN THEIR WORKERS Staggering pay gaps are revealed as part of new SEC rule

C

ompanies had lots of reasons to resist a justapproved new rule forcing them to disclose the pay gap between workers and the CEO: 216, to be exact.

The average CEO of a Standard & Poor’s 500 company was paid 216 times more than the median employees at their companies, according to a USA TODAY analysis of worker pay data from Glassdoor.com and CEO pay data from S&P Capital IQ. CEO pay was based on the most recent total reported compensation of current CEOs. Glassdoor pay is based on worker-reported data to the popular job-search site.

The gap is much larger in several cases.

Just because the gap between CEO pay and employee pay is vast, that doesn’t mean the CEO isn’t worth it.

2,282

times more than the $36,000 per year paid to the average production and non-supervisory worker.

No pay gap in this analysis can rival the one at Discovery. Zaslav was paid $156 million during the more recently completed fiscal year, which is 2,282 times greater than the average $68,397 median wage reported by Glassdoor.com.

And the Chipotle co-CEOs were already under fire by some investors for their large pay packages. Both separately pulled down roughly 1,500 times more than the average employee. Ells, for instance, was paid $28.9 million vs. the $18,980 median pay for workers. Moran was paid

1,483 times more than the median employee.

Rounding out the list of four S&P 500 CEOs making more than 1,000 times the average worker is Larry Merlo of CVS Health. He was paid $32.4 million last year, which is 1,054 times more than the median $30,690 paid to employees.

No one is suggesting that a line cook making burritos at Chipotle should be making the same as a co-founder and CEO running the fast-growing and profitable chain.

And just because the gap between CEO pay and employee pay is vast, that doesn’t mean the CEO isn’t worth it. Good luck finding many Starbucks shareholders who don’t think CEO and founder Howard Schultz is worth the $21.5 million he was paid last year — even if that is 994 times greater than the median $21,600 paid to employees.

Shares tanked when Schultz stepped down a few years ago and have raced higher ever since he returned.

This analysis has some caveats, as companies aren’t required to disclose median employee pay yet, so these numbers could vary from what companies themselves provide. Median employee pay is disclosed by employees anonymously on Glassdoor ,so there could be some self-reporting errors and not all job functions might be represented. The universe was limited only to companies that have at least 30 worker pay reports by employees on Glassdoor who have worked at the company since at least 2010.

Only CEOs with pay reported as CEO in the recent fiscal year were included. Total CEO pay includes all pay required to be reported by the SEC, which can include incentive compensation that was paid, but not yet earned.

Nonetheless, the data directionally show just how CEO pay has climbed relative to workers’.

These new rules will certainly put ever-increasing CEO pay into a new light — one that will be easier for employees to relate to, for better or worse.

Motorola, Silver Lake partner in $1B deal Public safety firm looking for new ways to accelerate growth Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

CHICAGO Motorola Solutions announced Wednesday that private equity firm Silver Lake has made a $1 billion investment in the company.

The investment from Silver Lake comes as the company that made its name selling radios to police and fire departments tries to accelerate growth in the next

generation of smart public safety solutions.

“Silver Lake has a proven track record of creating value by partnering with leading technology companies around the world,” said Greg Brown, chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions. “This strategic partnership and investment combine Silver Lake’s expertise in technology products, services and information solutions with our vision to create safer communities and more successful businesses.”

The stake is one of the biggest that Silver Lake, which has more than $26 billion in investments in technology firms, has made in its 16-year-history. The firm contrib-

The Silver Lake investment comes after reports this year that Motorola was unsuccessful in luring private equity firms and some large industrial companies to buy the Schaumburg, Ill.-based company.

Motorola closed up more than 6% to $64.04 on Tuesday.

As part of the deal, Egon Durban and Greg Mondre, managing partners of Silver Lake, will be appointed to Motorola Solutions’ board of directors when the transaction closes, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2015.

“We believe it is creating a new era in data-rich public safety communications and has significant potential for growth. Its core business is unrivaled in the United States and around the world with a broad and loyal customer base, an outstanding record of reliability, and growing reach and scale driven by technology innovation,” Durban and Mondre said in a joint statement.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

Investors searching for clues about the market’s direction look to small-company stocks for clues. And it’s not a pretty picture.

The Russell 2000 index of shares of small companies slipped 1.2% in July — trailing the 2% gain by the large-company Standard & Poor’s 500. The Russell 2000 has been stuck in a trading range all year as small companies’ shares are punished by “questions surrounding global growth due to China, the meltdown in commodities and a bit more choppiness in the market,” Steven DeSanctis, analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, says in a note to clients.

Magic Kingdom still has upside, analysts project Q: Is Walt Disney still a good long-term stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Disney has been one of the happiest stocks for investors for years. But investors just got a thrill they weren’t expecting.

Shares of the global media empire dropped 9.2% Wednesday to close at $110.47. It’s a rare interruption for a stock that has been practically headed straight up for several years. Even after Wednesday’s skid, shares of Disney are up 27% over the past year — well ahead of the market’s roughly 9% gain during the same time. Investors were unnerved by the company’s quarterly revenue of $13.1 billion. Revenue was up 5.1% from the same year-ago period but came in 1% lower than expected. Investors are also concerned about profitability in the cable business.

Wall Street analysts aren’t too bothered. The stock is rated outperform, and analysts think the company will put up impressive 13.4% average annual longterm growth, S&P Capital IQ says. Analysts think this stock will be worth $122.65 in 18 months, which would be nearly 12% upside from current levels.

The company is still monetizing Star Wars and Marvel. If there’s a caution, it’s that research firm New Constructs thinks Disney is roughly worth what the company is expected to generate in cash flow.

GameOn app that connects fans, players is ready to play Jon Swartz @jswartz USA TODAY

SAN FRANCISCO It’s game on for GameOn. A roster of sports stars, led by Joe Montana and Lawyer Milloy, have teamed up on the socialmedia app, which debuts Thursday.

The concept is as crafty as a Clayton Kershaw curveball: Create an immersive app that keeps a fan’s attention through a combination of group texting, video highlights, photos, score updates

and original stickers.

“We wanted to appeal to the soul of the sports fan,” says Alex Beckman, co-founder of GameOn. That appealed to Milloy, a Super Bowl-winning safety with the

New England Patriots, who had been approached by multiple sports start-ups but chose to work with GameOn, based here.

“I believe in its potential,” says Milloy, who has invested an undisclosed sum in the company and is an adviser.

A lineup of some 30 athletes interact with fans on the app. By the end of the year, Beckman hopes to have 100 athletes from football, baseball, basketball, cricket and other sports signed.

Sales of specially designed player stickers, and partnerships with teams and conferences could provide a big chunk of revenue, Beck-

man adds.

Gaining traction in an oversaturated sports-app field may be a high hurdle, however. There are more than 150,000 in North America (102,600 in the USA), western Europe, Australia and key South American countries, according to app-quality tester Applause.

“It’s a crowded field,” says Keith Jasper, CEO of Vsporto, an audio platform that lets fans in far-flung locations listen to their favorite teams. “But there are a lot of crossover apps — for tickets and gambling — and there are not a lot of dominant names beyond ESPN,

Yahoo and others. So there is room.”

“When I looked across the sports apps, most of them involved sports scores, fantasy games or supporting specific teams,” says Michael Ma, a Bay Area venture capitalist who has invested in GameOn. “We thought there was a big gap in communication that happens between fans and even athletes to fans. A lot of that conversation is happening right now on Twitter or over GroupMe (and) WhatApp. But the truth is those platforms aren’t optimized for the sports experience.”

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART COMEDY CENTRAL, THURSDAY, 11 ET/PT

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “We’re still people. We’re still human. But at the end of the day, we don’t want to bring attention to ignorance, and we always take the high road on these things and move forward.” — Michael B. Jordan to The Huffington Post on why he kept MOVIES cool after verging-on-racist questions from a reporter while promoting ‘Fantastic Elysa Gardner Four’ USA TODAY

After 16-plus years and nearly 2,600 episodes as host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, Jon Stewart has his final Moment of Zen Thursday.

He’s been media critic, news provider, political scold, truthteller and guiding spirit (though he’d never admit it) to Boomers and their Millennial offspring.

And throughout, his love for Bruce Springsteen and the New York Mets has been matched only by his distaste for Fox News Channel, Arby’s and deep-dish pizza, not to mention the hypocrisy of media outlets and politicians, expertly eviscerated with well-researched video clips.

Final episodes this week featured Amy Schumer, Louis CK and longtime pal Denis Leary, who made his 17th appearance.

Daily was “the perfect gig” for Stewart, Leary says. “He can be goofy, angry, bitter, silly and smart, all in the same bit. Which

is what he was always about. The gift Jon got from The Daily Show, and the one he gave back to it, was, ‘I’m taking the world, rolling it into a half-hour ball and throwing it back in your face.”

But after so many years, he said, he was growing restless, and the first step in his departure was a break in summer 2013 to direct Rosewater, a feature about an imprisoned Iranian journalist that gave him “energy and excitement,” Leary says. He has spurned offers for more traditional late-night shows — interviewing celebrities, he often said, was his least favorite job and provided the show with necessary filler. For now, he wants to spend time with his kids at his newly purchased New Jersey farm, where his wife, Tracey, will provide a haven for mistreated animals.

Even as his political stature climbed — capped by the discovery that he made two visits to the Oval Office at the request of President Obama — he insisted he was merely a comedian doing a late-night comedy show.

That’s what he did in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, where he told a breakfast of adoring media tar-

gets: “The whole idea that we’re the beacon of integrity is ridiculous. We get far more attention from you guys than we should.”

But it was there, at a behindthe-scenes visit to his makeshift studio, that Stewart’s role in shaping every joke, graphic and nuance of each episode was revealed as he invited USA TODAY into the writer’s room.

Stewart “works his (butt) off,” says Ed Helms, one of several correspondents-turned-movie stars, who worked on the show from 2002 to 2006. “I don’t know what’s next. I’m heartbroken as a fan of the show but excited to see what happens.”

MAEVE MCDERMOTT AND VERONICA BRAVO, USA TODAY

In these dog days of summer, can a sheep get a little love?

We’re about to find out: Shaun the Sheep Movie, the latest outing from the British studio that gave the world Wallace and Gromit, is in theaters now.

The new animated film’s precocious, lovable young title character, introduced in the Oscar-winning 1995 short A Close Shave, became the star of a U.K.based TV series, also called Shaun the Sheep, in 2007. Broadcast internationally, the show launched a popular spinoff in the children’s program Timmy Time.

Alas, Shaun the Sheep Movie arrives during a season traditionally associated with major-studio blockbusters. As family fare, it will face competition from such recent releases as Disney Pixar’s Inside Out and the Despicable Me

In Shaun the Sheep Movie, from the makers of Wallace and Gromit, the lovable star has a brush with the big city.

LIONSGATE

prequel Minions.

Shaun would seem to face another challenge: At 86 minutes long, it is devoid of dialogue — unless you count the noises generated by our hero and the various farm animals who accompany him on his adventure.

Writer/directors Richard Starzak and Mark Burton knew it would take some work; Burton

notes that episodes of the series run only seven minutes each. But they had “a big story” in mind, he says — one that takes Shaun and his buddies into the city, where the farmer who minds them has gotten lost.

“The series is set in a workplace,” Burton says. The film focuses on the animals “as a family, an extended family. It’s really a

father-and-son story.”

The duo wanted that story “to be emotional as well as funny,” Starzak says. The slapstick humor has “a British feel,” he concedes, but “we’ve been influenced by a lot of American films.”

The score, composed by Ilan Eshkeri, became particularly important in the absence of dialogue, Burton says. “We realized how much impact music can have on how you look at a story.”

Dave Karger, chief correspondent at Fandango, was “charmed”

by Shaun and is bullish on its commercial prospects.

“Families are always starved for viable options at the theater, especially families with very young kids,” who might find the talky Inside Out, for instance, “over their heads.” The sophistication of Shaun’s visual humor could appeal to “a more discerning family audience that’s up for a change, and perhaps a bit of a challenge.”

BOB TIMMONS • 1924-2015

‘He was visionary’

Kansas football roster tweaked

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Richard Gwin/Journal-Worl File Photo

IN THIS PHOTO FROM 2006, FORMER KANSAS UNIVERSITY TRACK COACH BOB TIMMONS TALKS ABOUT AN IDEA for a walk of fame of KU greats leading up to Allen Fieldhouse. A small model of a statue of Al Oerter, a track star at KU and Olympic record-holder, sits on Timmons’ desk. Timmons died Tuesday at 91.

Hall of Famer ‘Timmie’ dies at 91 Indeed, Timmons is in the National Track and Field Hall of Fame, Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame, Kansas Relays Hall of Fame, Drake Relays Hall of Fame, Kansas Sports Hall of Fame, Kansas High School Activities Association Hall of Fame and the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches of America Hall of Fame.

“As far as I know he’s received every award and medallion KU has to give and they probably should create one more and name it after him. His generosity to the university is exceptional,” Weaver added.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

U.S. Olympic track phenom Jim Ryun and his wife, Anne, went to visit Kansas University track coaching legend Bob Timmons last April in Lawrence.

It was Kansas Relays weekend, one of Timmons’ favorite times of the year.

However, ailing health prevented the man everybody calls “Timmie” from attending the meet.

“He sat up and said, ‘So good to see you here,’” Ryun told the Journal-World on Wednesday after issuing a beautiful tribute to his former KU and Wichita East High coach on Facebook.

Ryun was speaking — and writing — just hours after learning Timmons had died Tuesday night at the age of 91.

“It was a nice little visit that meant a lot. He was an amazing man. God gave him to me as a coach, mentor, friend and (Christian) brother. He inspired all kinds of athletes in high school and college. He was visionary. He looked to bring out the best in you,” Ryun added.

Timmons nationally is known best for helping Ryun become the first high schooler to run a sub-4-minute mile (in 1964 at Wichita East) and

At KU, the U.S. Marine who spent time deployed in the South Pacific during World War II led his KU track and cross country teams to four NCAA titles and 31 conference championships.

His teams captured 13 Big Eight Indoor titles, 14 Outdoor titles and four CC league titles. He led KU to NCAA Indoor titles in 1966, ’69 and ’70. His ’70 outdoor

team tied for the NCAA title.

His four NCAA crowns are most of any head coach in KU athletics history.

“He’s one of those luminaries. If there’s a Mount Rushmore of KU track and field, coach Timmons is on it,” said Tim Weaver, meet director of the Kansas Relays from 2000 to 2006.

He recalls meeting with Timmons on a regular basis to trade ideas.

“Here’s a guy who is in every Hall of Fame you can imagine,” Weaver added.

Rim Rock legacy Timmons designed and cultivated KU’s challenging cross country course, Rim Rock Farm, on his own property — property he and wife Pat donated to KU several years ago.

“Bob Timmons is one of those legendary names, and it didn’t end when he retired,” Weaver said. “He’s a Marine with a little history as a drill sergeant. He’d get on you and ride you and push you. You can’t tell any Bob Timmons story without talking about his (5-foot-2) stature. For someone of his stature, Bob Timmons was bigger than life.”

Please see TIMMONS, page 3C

The updated Kansas University football roster — released Wednesday, the eve of the start of preseason camp — featured nearly two dozen new names and included a couple of notable omissions.

Wednesday afternoon, KU revealed offensive linemen Joey Bloomfield and Junior Visinia were no longer on the roster.

Visinia, a projected starter at guard with a promising future, has stepped away from the program completely, and Bloomfield, a third-year sophomore from Louisville, has retired from football but will remain a part of the Jayhawks’ program.

Although those absences serve as a blow to KU’s depth on the O-line, the much-talked-about walkon program that first-year coach David Beaty has aggressively tried to build may help offset the losses.

The new roster includes four new offensive linemen, all of whom joined the program as walk-ons. Beaty said last month at Big 12 media days in Dallas that he was extremely pleased with the way the walk-on program had come together and added that he expected a handful of non-scholarship guys could help the Jayhawks immediately.

The Jayhawks officially kick off preseason camp at 5:30 p.m. today.

Here’s a quick look, in alphabetical order, at the most notable new names added to the KU football roster.

DE Mazin Aql — 6-2, 231, Fr., Blue Valley High PK Nick Bartolotta — 5-7, 195, Soph., College of DuPage WR Chris Bell — 5-10, 171, Fr., The Woodlands (High), Texas LB Jacob Davis — 6-2, 242 Wichita Northwest, previously committed to North Dakota State in 2012 LB Kendall Duckworth — 6-1, 205, Fr., Lely High, Naples, Florida QB Deondre Ford — 6-2, 200, Jr., Dodge City CC; originally from Waco, Texas, has been on campus all summer WR Deante Ford — 5-10, 165, Fr., Ridge Point High, Missouri City, Texas WR LaQuivionte Gonzales — 5-10, 175, Jr., Texas A&M; transfer is on scholarship and will sit out the 2015 season P Ruben Guzman — 5-8, 190, Sr., University of Hawaii transfer LB Hudson Hall — 6-2, 220, Fr., Westlake High, Austin, Texas Please see FOOTBALL, page 3C

Cueto solid, but Boyd better, 2-1 Detroit (ap) — Johnny Cueto still doesn’t have a win for the Kansas City Royals since being acquired from Cincinnati last week.

No one in his clubhouse is blaming him.

Cueto (7-7) only allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in seven innings against Detroit. But Tigers rookie Matt Boyd outdueled him in a 2-1 victory Wednesday.

“That’s part of the game,”

Cueto said through an interpreter. “I know that I just have to do my job, and my team will take care of the rest.”

Cueto has allowed five runs over two starts, but the bullpen let the first game get away, and the offense couldn’t help him Wednesday.

“I thought he was great again tonight,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He had all his pitches working and

he really only made one mistake to (Anthony) Gose.”

That was all Boyd needed to pick his first major-league win in his Tigers debut, days after being acquired from Toronto in the David Price trade.

Boyd received a standing ovation from the crowd of 34,628 after the seventh inning, and couldn’t stop a grin from spreading across his face.

“That was awesome —

that’s a moment that I’m never going to forget,” said Boyd, moments after receiving the lineup card in honor of his first career win.

Boyd only allowed one run on seven hits and didn’t walk a batter in a careerlong seven innings, three days after Daniel Norris, also picked up in the Price Duane Burleson/AP Photo trade, had put up similar numbers against Baltimore.

The phrase “that’s how we’ve always done it” wasn’t cutting it for the Big Ten. The conference has been around for more than 120 years, boasts four of the winningest programs in college football history and was once home to coaching legends simply known as Bo and Woody, but the Big Ten still needed a reality check.

A decade removed from the driver’s seat or even riding shotgun, the league had been relegated to the backseat of the Power 5’s drive to the future — or so it seemed.

It has been eight months since Ohio State stunned Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans to claim the national title, and you could sense a change at Big Ten football media days. Much of the buzz normally associated with the SEC heading into a college football season could now be found a few miles south of Navy Pier in Chicago.

“I would say for sure there is a little more buzz heading into this year than last year,” Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook said Thursday.

The Spartans, who finished last season 11-2, were ranked sixth in preseason top 25 coaches’ poll.

Buzz might just be the understatement of the year given the rock-star status of Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh.

Sure, Alabama’s Nick Saban and South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier draw a crowd, but nothing like what was seen this week in the Windy City.

But having big-name coaches like Meyer and Harbaugh taking on Penn State’s James Franklin, Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio and Nebraska’s Mike Riley is exactly what the Big Ten needed to start competing against the SEC. “These are rock star coaches that the Big Ten has never hired,” said Gerry DiNardo, analyst for the Big Ten Network. “This is reinforcement to the Big Ten footprint that we can no longer do business as we used to and still be really good at football.

“We used to be a low-budget operation. We used to be able to balance the academic and the athletic piece and then the SEC took over college football.”

And boy did it ever.

The SEC won nine national championships — including eight in a row — during the Bowl Championship Subdivision Era. Meyer himself won two while he was at Florida.

So before long, Big Ten schools realized if they wanted to compete for national championships, they were going to have to spend money to attract the types of coaches that could get the conference back on track — big money.

“This is the way these institutions responded and the market value is $4 million a coach,” DiNardo said. “We pay the high salary for the professors because we want to be the best institutions in the country. This is proof we want to be the best in football.”

Big Ten Network analyst Howard Griffith said one of the best ways the Big Ten can change the national perception of the conference is by winning.

“What I think it comes down to is that the Big Ten just has to win the game,” Griffith said. “I think the coaches, whether they are superstars or not — and Urban is a superstar — it’s about winning that championship game when they have a chance to go against SEC teams.”

JORDAN SPIETH REACTS AFTER MAKING A BIRDIE ON THE 16TH HOLE during the final round of the British Open on July 20 in St. Andrews, Scotland.

Slam finished; Spieth isn’t The Associated Press

Jordan Spieth was on the 14th green and battling in conditions so severe the wind approached 40 mph.

“They pulled us off the course,” he said.

Spieth wasn’t talking about St. Andrews.

This was Sunday at Whistling Straits, where he took a two-day scouting trip of the course that will host the final major of the year.

Spieth was one shot away from making the PGA Championship the most significant golf event since Tiger Woods completed his sweep of the majors in 2001 at the Masters. The 22-year-old Texan was trying to become the first player to win them all in one season, and he came closer than any of the other three greats — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Woods — to getting the third leg of the Grand Slam at the British Open.

His three-putt on the 14th green at St. Andrews, when the second round resumed in wind so strong Spieth was heard to say, “We never should have started,” is not what cost him a chance at the claret jug. He had four other three-putts that round. He took four putts on the eighth green in the final round. He also made a bunch of birdies all week, and at the end of 72 holes, he needed one more. Simple as that.

If there was a hangover, it didn’t last long.

Spieth was playing golf in Dallas with friends when his roommate mentioned the “weirdest feeling” about watching the Open. He told him that it seemed as though Spieth had an off week at St. Andrews, perhaps because he already had won the Masters and U.S. Open. Maybe it was ingrained in everyone, Spieth included, that anything but a victory at the British Open was not going to be acceptable.

“We played good golf given everything,” Spieth said. “It’s still good to play a major and lose by one shot. But that was one shot from being the greatest week of my life, instead of being on the back burner.

That’s what put it in perspective for me.”

It was a memorable run, and now it’s time to move on.

Spieth already has shown at such a young age he is equipped to do just that.

His goal at St. Andrews was to ignore what was at stake and treat it like another major. Put the ball in play. Make putts. Get in contention. He said when it was over the historical significance never crossed his mind even when he was tied for the lead with two holes to play.

His approach to Whistling Straits isn’t much different.

“I really don’t think it changes at all,” Spieth said. “Like I said, the historical part never

factored into my preparation or knowledge of the course or whatever. All in all, I have the exact same feeling. I may feel better. I knew what was at stake, and there was an added element to that off the course.

Those were the questions everyone was asking. That’s what the crowd was saying as you go hole to hole in the practice round. ‘The Grand Slam is alive.’

“I wish they were still saying that,” he said. “But since they aren’t, that might ease the burden as far as practice.”

He laughed when asked about the American Slam — winning the three U.S. majors in the same season.

“When did that start?” he said, already knowing the answer.

No one ever talked about an American Slam until it was served up as a consolation prize to Woods when his shot at the Grand Slam ended in the wind and rain at Muirfield in 2002. Woods made a strong run at the PGA Championship that year by making birdie on his last four holes, only to finish one shot behind Rich Beem.

Now the opportunity falls to Spieth. It’s still a chance to achieve something no one has ever done, though it feels hollow compared with what he was chasing a month ago at the home of golf.

The Grand Slam is over. His season is not.

Texans running back Foster suffers injury Houston — Houston Texans running back Arian Foster has a groin injury, coach Bill O’Brien said Wednesday after practice.

The second-year head coach said Foster is still being evaluated, but he would miss time, although how much was unspecified.

Foster was second in the NFL in yards rushing per game (95.8) and sixth in total yards rushing (1,246) in 2014.

“I feel bad for him personally,” O’Brien said.

“I think he came into this offseason and he really worked extremely hard. Came back here and ran the conditioning test really, really well.

Came back and he was practicing well. But as a football team, it’s next man up.”

The next man up is most likely second-year back Alfred Blue, who spelled Foster in 2014 and rushed for 528 yards and two touchdowns.

BASEBALL

Liberal team honors batboy Wichita — A 9-year-old batboy who died after being accidentally struck by a followthrough swing in Wichita has been honored at the baseball team’s first game since his death.

Kaiser Carlile was struck Saturday by a warm-up swing by a Liberal Bee Jays player near the on-deck circle during a National Baseball Congress World Series game. Kaiser died Sunday.

Kaiser’s younger sister, Keirsie, threw a ceremonial pitch before Tuesday’s game against the Seattle Studs. She and her father, Chad Carlile, embraced Liberal players, who wore jerseys with Kaiser’s initials.

The teams stood side by side in a moment of silence. A banner with Kaiser’s initials was hung in his honor.

Commemorative baseball cards featuring Kaiser are available for a small donation. Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell said Kaiser would be remembered for his smile, dedication and love of baseball.

They said it Bob Timmons died on Tuesday night at the age of 91. Here are some tributes from former athletes and friends of the former KU track coach. Thanks to Tim Weaver for sharing some of the comments he compiled during his tenure as KU Relays organizer.

Timmons CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Tributes to Timmons and stories about Timmons came pouring into the Journal-World on Wednesday as news broke about his death Tuesday night after a long illness.

“Bob was in the Marines. He tried to stretch himself to get into the Marines,” recalled Timmons’ college fraternity brother and lifelong friend and fellow coach, Jerry Waugh. “He was afraid he wasn’t tall enough. He did hanging and stretching.

He about hung himself to serve his country.

“He was a guy who wanted to coach and worked hard at becoming a coach. He was a selfmade coach. He was quite a guy. He was a principled person, one who lived by the rules.”

U.S. Olympic pole vaulter Scott Huffman was one of several to say he “loved” his principled coach.

“He was the utmost moral, upright person.

I love he was willing to stand for what he believed,” Huffman said. “I watched the transformation of KU winning title after title, then the program fell on hard times.

All the NCAA schools were recruiting foreign athletes. Timmie loved foreign athletes, but felt as a patriot we should support our athletes and help develop our own Olympic teams.”

Thus Timmons would not sign foreign athletes to compete for the Jayhawks.

“Looking back, how many people do you know that are not willing to win at all costs and would take a stand on it?” Huffman said. “He was not a winat-all-costs guy.”

A mentor, too Yet Timmons’ teams won plenty.

And his athletes won on the national and international stage. He coached seven Olympians, 16 world record holders, 77 NCAA AllAmericans and 24 NCAA champions.

“I ran into coach Timmons many times around town (the last several years),” Huffman said.

“He’d say, ‘Scott, you did well. Scott, you did well.’

That always made me proud. He had Jim Ryun and all these guys. I was a little walk-on from Quinter. I was proud he still remembered me.”

Former KU assistant athletic director Richard Konzem, who worked for Timmons as a student manager for four years at KU, says Timmons actually helped him map out his career.

“It was Saturday before

the Relays my freshman year. We missed the mail time of the Lawrence post office to send out all the Relays entries and materials,” Konzem said.

“Coach Timmons said, ‘Does anybody want to go with me to the main post office in Kansas City?’ I said, ‘Sure.’ It was a Saturday night. I was a freshman. I didn’t have a date or anything. In that drive, Timmie set out for me my entire career path, established my goals in what I needed to do. That was the mentoring piece of coach Timmons. He helped people establish their goals and then would push you to get them done,” added Konzem, who last visited Timmons on Sunday night.

Don Steffens, the public address announcer at the Kansas Relays each and every year since 1975, served as student-manager for Timmons at both Wichita East (where Timmons coached track and swimming) and at KU. Steffens has known Timmons for 54 years.

“He taught me a lot about not necessarily being concerned about earning money, just trying to do a good job,” Steffens said. “In 1965 I went to Track and Field News as an intern. His one piece of advice was, ‘You’ve been watching your stopwatch all your life (timing athletes).

When you get to work, don’t worry about the clock. Just get your job done.’ That’s something I’ve never forgotten.”

‘A great inspiration’ Timmons was not a clock-watcher.

“I remember we had a cinder track in 1967. We had an extremely hard rain before the Relays.

Timmie was up all night with a tractor and disc pouring kerosine on the cinders and lighting them on fire (to get rid of the water),” Steffens said.

“He’d finish at 4 a.m. It would stop raining, then at 10 on Saturday morning it rained again. All the work was wasted. But that was it. You go and do your work. It’s what separated him from other coaches.

He was a great inspiration, a wonderful guy. He had as big an impact on my life as my parents,” an emotional Steffens added.

One of Timmons’ student-managers at Wichita East was former Secretary of Defense Bob Gates. Konzem said he’d never forget the quote from Gates when he was named Kansan of the Year in 2010.

“Half a century later, as Secretary of Defense of the United States, I carry Bob Timmons’ life lessons in leadership, integrity, discipline, motivating people, and treating all of them respectfully, to work with me every sin-

gle day. Coach, thanks,” Gates said at the time.

Timmons has touched members of KU’s current administration and coaching staffs.

“The Kansas track and field family has lost a legendary figure in our history,” current KU track and field coach Stanley Redwine said. “Coach Timmons led KU to unprecedented success during his time here and should be remembered, not only as a great coach, but as a great mentor as well. He continuously strived to set a standard of excellence that we fully recognize to this day. His contributions of our home cross country course of Rim Rock Farm also show what a truly dedicated Jayhawk he was. Our thoughts are with Pat, their children (Tammie, Rebecca, Priscilla, Dan) and the rest of the Timmons family (two grandchildren) during this difficult time.”

“KU has lost a true treasure,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said.

“Coach Timmons was one of the all-time greats.

His legacy, though, does not end with championships and medals. His real legacy is how much he cared about his studentathletes and the University of Kansas.”

Student champion Another legacy: his concern about the athlete.

“His Student Bill of Rights was revolutionary. All the battles today with the NCAA system changing and lawsuits … some of the genesis of that came from Bob Timmons’ little flat-top head,” Weaver said of a document Timmons proposed to the NCAA giving student-athletes unprecedented rights.

Timmons also had interests outside of athletics.

“He painted, wrote poetry and sculpted guys like Al Oerter and Jim Ryun,” Konzem wrote in an email tribute he sent to former KU athletes and friends of Timmons. “He was a COMPETITIVE Rascal (rascal was a favorite word of Timmons): And that led to Championships: 4 NCAA Titles, the most NCAA Championships by any KU Coach: 12 Top 5 NCAA finishes, 27 Big 8 titles, 24 Kansas State High School Championships in Track and Swimming “He was also a man of FAITH: Quietly and humbly he led by example; he’s thankful for the gifts he has been given and uses those gifts to the fullest extent In the end, there’s only one word is necessary to describe Bob Timmons, He was our COACH,” Konzem wrote.

Services for Timmons are pending and will be announced by WarrenMcElwain of Lawrence.

Bob Timmons was a man who mentored many, remained consistent in his personal values and saw no finish line when it comes to ambition. He helped me define my own determination at a time in my life that I needed it. He knew it, I didn’t. He never coached me in track and field but he certainly did in life.”

Arizona prep to visit KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior forward from Gilbert (Ariz.) Christian High who is ranked No. 140 in the basketball recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals. com, will visit Kansas University Sept. 11-13, Jayhawkslant.com reported Wednesday.

Lightfoot, who at one point was committed to University of New Mexico, now is considering KU, Arizona, Stanford, Cal, Utah and others.

“I want to go some-

where they are going to challenge me to be better,” Lightfoot told GOAZCATS.com. “I want to go somewhere I am going to have to work for what I get. I don’t want to go to a place where it is going to be handed to me. I don’t like that. I like things are hard to get and I like things that are challenges.”

Terrance Ferguson, a 6-6 senior guard from Dallas, told Rivals.com he will visit KU for the Oct. 9 Late Night in the Phog. He’s ranked No. 11 in the recruiting class of 2016.

— Candace Dunback, Director of Traditions - K Club and Booth Family Hall of Athletics and KU record holder in heptathlon

“

Suffice it to say, he meant a lot to me and my family and to the Jayhawk nation. He will be missed, but most of all, and perhaps best of all, he will be celebrated for a life well lived.”

— Jim Ryun, Olympic distance runner

“

When coach Timmons heard of my calf injuries he volunteered to help me cross train in the pool. He would meet me at 5:30 a.m. with workouts to get me ready for Nationals. He is so generous with his time and knowledge – he darn near killed me in the pool – but it worked! He’s a special man that I admire and respect greatly.”

— Kristi Kloster Burritt, Class of 1996

“

An average hurdler/pole vaulter on a national championship team in 1968, I was not going to the dual meet at UCLA on “Jim Ryun’s Team”. I asked Timmie if I could go in the 440 hurdles.

He said “No.” I set up my own time trial and made coach Mitchell time me.

Timmie made the “faster” hurdlers run against my time. No one could beat my time. The next day, Timmie hands me my plane ticket and itinerary for the meet 3 days later in L.A.” — Michael Geiger, Class of ’71

“

A great coach BT. An even greater person!”

— Jim Hershberger, Class of 1953

KANSAS CITY’S LORENZO CAIN WATCHES FROM THE DUGOUT during the eighth inning of the Royals’ 2-1 loss to the Tigers on Wednesday in Detroit.

Royals CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

“He was great out there,” Tigers catcher James McCann said. “It has been exciting to see these new guys pitch — the results are obvious, but these are two young guys showing a ton of poise and pitching with a game plan. Matt is a guy who can live up in the zone, because he’s mixing three breaking balls in with a riding fastball.

“Once I catch these two a few more times, it will be even better.”

Bruce Rondon pitched the eighth before Blaine Hardy and Alex Wilson combined to finish off the Royals. Hardy got the first two outs, helped by a running catch by J.D. Martinez, before Wilson retired Alex Rios for his second save.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Davis’ slam lifts O’s The Associated Press

American League Orioles 7, Athletics 3, 10 innings Oakland, Calif. — Chris Davis hit his second grand slam in 12 days with one out in the top of the 10th inning, and Baltimore beat Oakland on Wednesday.

Davis hit 28th home run and third in four games on a 3-2 pitch from Arnold Leon (0-1).

It came two batters after Gerardo Parra was intentionally walked to load the bases. Caleb Joseph and Manny Machado led off the inning with backto-back singles.

It’s the sixth grand slam of Davis’ career. He also hit one against Tampa Bay on July 25.

Come by and see this cool house and leave with a piece of memorabilia.

This home was owned by the famous artist, Albert Bloch from 1923 until his widow, Anna Bloch’s death in April 2014. Albert Bloch was the head of KU’s Art Department from 1923 until his retirement in 1947 (he died in 1961).

He was the only American to exhibit in the First Blue Rider art exhibition in Munich, Germany in 1911.

His works are widely held by museums around the world including: KU’s Spencer Museum, Metropolitan Museum in NYC, Nelson-Atkins Museum, Chicago Art Institute, LA County Museum, De Young Museum - San Francisco, Cleveland Museum and the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany. In addition to his artistic career, he was also a poet.

There are many books on Albert Bloch’s artwork and poetry. The third floor of this house was his painting studio where all of his American period works were painted and the office on the second floor is where he composed his poetry.
