‘WE ARE GOING TO SAVE MORE LIVES’ Humane Society making plans for new shelter

“

BY ROCHELLE VALVERDE • rvalverde@ljworld.com

I would say we’re doing a really good job considering the facility that we have, and I can’t wait to see what we could do with a facility that really works.”

T

he Lawrence Humane Society is making plans to construct a new facility that shelter leaders say will decrease euthanasia rates for the thousands of dogs, cats and small mammals it takes in annually.

“Very simply, to me, we are going to save more lives,” said Humane Society Executive Director Kate Meghji.

City officials are beginning to discuss how local taxpayers might be able to help pay for part of the estimated $7.5 million facility. City staff members are getting closer to recommending that the city provide $2.5 million of funding in future years.

“We thought it was only appropriate that we ask the city to contribute since we provide a service to the city that they’re legally required to do by impounding stray animals,” Meghji said.

The Kansas Board of Regents may consider changing some of its policies to give the board more oversight and control over new building projects on university campuses, specifically the type that landed the University of Kansas in hot water with the Kansas Legislature earlier this year.

Despite the controversy, however, KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and WSU President John Bardo are both urging the Regents not to go too far in regulating P3 arrangements.

“Most states seem to be moving heaven and earth to make P3’s easier.

We seem to be moving in the other direction,” Bardo told the Regents on Wednesday.

Most of the controversy at the Legislature this spring focused on KU, which formed its own private, nonprofit entity, the KU Campus Development Corporation, which then issued $320 million in bonds through a Wisconsin public financing agency rather than through the state of Kansas.

Health insurance rates to rise for state employees

Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

Topeka (ap) — Thousands of Kansas government employees would face rising health insurance premiums under fee schedules developed for 2017, according to state documents.

The State Employee Health Plan administered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is applicable to workers throughout state government and includes people employed at public universities and colleges.

Under basic health policies available through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas and Aetna, monthly rates for individual policies with low- and highdeductible plans would rise 9 percent. The monthly cost of health insurance for state workers in the employee-and-children plans would also increase 9 percent, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.

Insurance rates for fulltime workers also increased during the 2016 year.

Documents circulated to state employees indicated enrollees in a plan allowing enrollment of a spouse would pay $90 more each month in 2017 for coverage in Aetna’s low-deductible option. The monthly cost in 2017 of BCBS’s high-deductible policy for worker and spouse would be $40 more each month.

“When you think about what state employees earn, that’s a huge increase,” said Rebecca Proctor, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees.

Cassie Sparks, a spokeswoman for the state’s health agency, said the cost of vision insurance through the state for these employees would remain flat.

“

The Legislature’s concern was that ultimately the university is on the hook if the deal goes bad.”

— Regent Shane Bangerter

Several lawmakers were upset at that deal, accusing KU of using that process to bypass the Legislature, which would have had to approve the project first if KU had used the state’s own bonding agency.

KU said it plans to use student fees and other revenues to make the lease payments, but lawmakers said that if anything goes wrong with the project, Kansas taxpayers will ultimately be on the hook for the project because the buildings sit on state property.

At Wichita State, the process was substantially different. There, existing for-profit businesses were allowed to put up buildings on the WSU campus, which the university then leases back. But the corporations themselves also use the buildings, and students earn credit while working on realworld projects for those businesses.

In KU’s case, however, the Legislature retaliated by attaching a

proviso to KU’s budget for 2016, limiting how much money the university can spend out of previously unrestricted fee funds.

Even some Board of Regents members said Wednesday that they sympathized with the Legislature’s point of view.

“The Legislature’s concern was that ultimately the university is on the hook if the deal goes bad,” Regent Shane Bangerter of Dodge City said.

During the retreat, Gregory Hoffman, director of facilities for the Board of Regents, outlined three possible ways the board could change its policies to exert more control over P3 development projects.

The first would change the current definition of capital improvement projects to include P3’s and similar projects, and require that they be included as part of each institution’s capital improvement plan, which

must be approved by the Regents.

Second, since that would probably cause delays in some projects, move up the deadline for submitting capital improvement requests to March 1 of each year, instead of April 1, enabling the Regents to vote on approval of those projects in May instead of June.

And finally, change the board’s policy on lease agreements. Currently, universities must get board approval when they lease out their property to outside entities.

The proposed change would mean they also would need approval when the university leases property from an outside entity.

Gray-Little said she was concerned those proposals were too broad, and that they could interfere with the universities’ relationships with entities like their endowment associations, which are affiliated with, but not

controlled by, the universities.

But Bardo was more direct in expressing his concerns. He said that in cases like WSU’s project, where no state or university money was involved in the project, both the state and the Board of Regents should take a hands-off approach.

“We are taking flexibility away, on the basis that in 30 years or so, something might need to be done,” he said. “If the situation is that the university is not investing in the property or it’s not being maintained, then in 30 years the university has option of taking a really big bulldozer and removing it from the campus.”

Lawrence-area Democratic senators face conservative challengers

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Mike Yoder/Journal-World File Photo

IN THIS FILE PHOTO FROM DECEMBER 2011, BRANCHES on a row of trees have been trimmed back as part of Westar Energy’s program to keep trees out of power lines.

In a year when Democrats hope to make big gains in the Kansas Senate, two local incumbent Democrats are fending off challenges from the right.

In the 3rd District, two-term incumbent Sen. Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, said the Aug. 2 primary showed that this y e a r ’ s election will be a refere n d u m on Re- Holland publican Gov. Sam Brownback’s policies, and that Brownback’s unpopularity will spill over into his campaign.

“It was a complete repudiation of Brownback’s policies and the Republicans who’ve supported that,” said Holland, who ran unsuccessfully against Brownback as the Democratic Party’s nominee for governor in 2010.

“They got thumped.”

Holland works as an information technology consultant and recently began developing a vineyard on his property outside of Baldwin City. In the Legislature, he serves as the ranking minority member on the Senate tax and commerce committees.

His challenger, Echo Van Meteren of Linwood, is the wife of Kris Van Meteren, a principal in the Singularis Group — a GOP consulting firm that claims credit for managing the conservative

takeover of the Senate during the 2012 Republican primaries.

“As we go forward in Van Meteren the campaign, I’m going to be reminding people of his devastating policies on the state and what I’ve done to fight back against that,” Holland said.

The 3rd District leans more conservative than most of Douglas County.

It covers the eastern portion of the county, including Eudora, and reaches up into Leavenworth County, including parts of Bonner Springs and Lansing.

Still, Democrat Paul Davis carried the district

by 16 percentage points over Brownback in the 2012 gubernatorial race, and President Barack Obama carried it by a narrow margin over Sen. John McCain in 2008.

Van Meteren, however, said she believes she is more in tune with the political views of the district.

“Being born and raised in Leavenworth County, I have a very good feel for what the people in northeast Kansas need,” she said during a recent interview. “And because I’ve traveled and worked all over Kansas, I have a good sense of western Kansas as well.”

Van Meteren said she supports Brownback’s tax and economic policies, saying she believes they

Stultz said he thinks the site offers a good chance for a different type of apartment complex to be developed.

He envisions a complex with lots of one-bedroom units that could be marketed as affordable apartment units. These are my words, not his, but it kinds of sounds like a “starter apartment,” much like some neighborhoods are full of “starter homes.” Stultz noted there are lots of employment opportunities within walking distance of the site, and the Peaslee Tech

vocational center is just a few blocks down 31st Street.

Stultz, however, hasn’t completed a full design for the project. First, the project must win both annexation and rezoning approvals from City Hall. An annexation isn’t always the easiest process to go through at City Hall, but this piece of property is about as close to being in the city limits as you can be without being in it. The property already is served by highly improved streets — the

Concerns raised about herbicide use Apartment complex planned for south side as Westar trims trees T Town Talk

By Rochelle Valverde

rvalverde@ljworld.com

As crews work to clear trees and other vegetation from the path of power lines, some Lawrence residents are concerned not about what crews trim away, but what they’re adding.

The last time Lawrence resident Rob Matthews’ trees were being trimmed, he said he ran outside when he saw workers spraying something from a canister

on his property. They informed him it was an herbicide and stopped spraying when asked, but as Matthews’ property comes due this year for another trimming, he wants to make sure that no pesticides are sprayed this time.

“It’s done as if they have a right to do it,” Matthews said. “I do think they have a right to trim out the trees whenever they start to endanger

Anytime a tree is removed because of its proximity to power lines, crews will also spray the stump with an herbicide — a pesticide that is targeted to kill plant life — to stop the tree from growing back, according to Doug Lehmann, supervisor of vegetation management for Westar Energy. In addition, Lehmann said the herbicide would also be used when there is plant growth such as poison ivy on or around utility poles.

Streets are expected to remain open with possible lane closures and traffic control in place. l Traffic has been shifted to the south side of Bob Billings Parkway at Kasold Drive, heading west. Much work, including mill, overlay, full depth patch and traffic signal installation, means the Bob Billings corridor will continue to be reduced to one lane in each direction between Kasold and Wakarusa Drive. Motorists should expect delays. l The intersection of Inverness Drive (South) and Bob Billings Parkway is closed for construction of a right-turn lane for another week or two. l The north side of the intersection of Bob Billings Parkway and Stone Meadows Drive is closed for reconstruction of a right-turn lane. l Indiana and Mississippi streets are closed from 11th Street to 12th Street for work on the HERE Kansas development until the street is ready to be reopened nearing completion of the development. l Ninth Street between Murrow Court and Schwarz Road will be closed to through traffic to be widened, adding a left turn lane at Schwarz Road and a pedestrian crossing with median island adjacent to Sunset Hill Elementary.

fact the commission was less than unanimous in accepting an application for annexation for a proposed apartment complex west of the SLT at the Bob Billings interchange. Acceptance of an application for annexation has always been pretty routine, so when Commissioner Leslie Soden said she didn’t even want to consider the annexation request, that raised some red flags with some.

Again, some of this concern may be fair and some may not. Retail

is different from apartments, and the west of the SLT apartment complex is still in process.

It hasn’t been denied anything by the city.

But if the development of this site becomes an issue, that will be a more concrete sign that there is a changing growth philosophy at City Hall.

Either way, this project continues a trend. South Lawrence is hot with development interest right now.

That’s what happens when an area has about $350 million worth of

infrastructure investment. Think about it for a moment: The completion of the SLT is about a $190 million project; the widening of U.S. Highway 59 was about $110 million; and the new sewer treatment plant under construction south of the Wakarusa River is about $50 million.

The SLT probably is driving most of the interest at the moment. It is officially scheduled to open in November, but I keep hearing talk that the project is ahead of schedule. I know driving

through the construction zone on Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence, signs advertising the new exits for the SLT and such are being put in place.

“It is going to change a lot,” Stultz said of the opening of the bypass project. “I just hope we embrace it as a community and see the potential for it to grow our community.”

noted that the herbicide use is not the main aspect of the power line clearing in the city, where neighborhoods are done once every four years.

“Basically, it’s our reliability program,” Lehmann said. “We are actively trimming back trees, removing trees from the power lines to keep the power on, to keep them from getting up in there. The majority of our work is just trimming the trees back and we go on.”

Lehmann said property owners are always consulted prior to a tree being removed and that verbal permission to spray the stump is obtained at that time.

Lehmann said in the case of weeds such as poison ivy growing on or around a utility pole, crews would not

ask permission before spraying. When asked to estimate how often the herbicide is used without the permission of property owners, Lehmann said that it was “very rarely,” and estimated it was only a few times per year in the area.

Matthews said he has asked Westar to put information about the herbicide workers use in the notification material provided to property owners, which currently doesn’t mention its use. Matthews said the last time crews trimmed his trees, they just started spraying.

Matthew said he thinks Westar should change its policy so that property owners are required to give permission before crews use a pesticide on their property.

“It think that’s entirely reasonable,” said Matthews, who lives in the Breezedale neighborhood. “It’s not just me; it’s my neighbors and the whole community that I care about.”

Lehmann said the companies contracted

by Westar to do the work for Lawrence — Wright Tree Service and Asplundh Tree Expert Company — have been trimming trees in southeast Lawrence since January, with the majority of that work south of 15th Street and east of Iowa Street. He said if property owners don’t want the herbicide sprayed, they can contact Westar directly and let them know.

coordinated development of wind energy projects in Kansas but was disbanded during the 2016 session.

Richey has said she is also a supporter of education, but she comes at the issue from a different perspective.

During a recent Douglas County Republican Party candidate forum, Richey said she s u p p o r t s Richey “school choice” initiatives, such as vouchers that enable parents to use public funds to send their children to private schools.

She also said she opposes the Common Core academic standards for reading and math that the Kansas State Board of Education adopted in 2010.

“We must address declining achievement standards in K-12 education,” Richey said in a statement posted on her campaign website.

“Simply spending more money and buying the latest gadgets will not help children succeed.

I support policies that put parents and children in charge of their education and allow them to choose the best path.”

The 2nd District includes nearly all of the city of Lawrence, most of northern Douglas County, and parts of Jefferson County, including McLouth, Perry, Oskaloosa, Meriden, Ozawkie and Valley Falls.

In the 2014 gubernatorial race, Davis carried the district by an overwhelming margin, 72-26 percent over Brownback. Obama carried the district with 60

percent of the vote in 2012.

During the primary election cycle, Richey raised a little more than $9,000, including a $1,000 contribution from the Kansas Chamber’s political action committee.

Francisco did less fundraising during the primary cycle, bringing in $5,614, including $1,000 from the Kansas National Education Association. But she had more than $43,000 in her campaign account at the start of the year, and goes into the general elction cycle with more than $45,000 on hand.

This project probably will get watched closely by others in the development community.

Whether it is fair or not, there is a certain amount of unease in some development circles that the current City Commission wants to clamp down on growth, especially on the edges of the community.

Those concerned cite the denial of the shopping center proposal for just south of the SLT and Iowa Street intersection.

classroom technology, produced quite a few major talking points, a handful of which we’ve included here.

“I think there’s a lot of confidence in the direction we’re heading,” said Hayden, who plans to present a second draft of the goals at the school board’s next meeting on Sept. 12. He said the final draft will most likely be presented to the board for approval at the next meeting after Sept. 12.

Ticket time?

The district began implementing its threetiered discipline model, Ci3T, during the 20132014 school year. If analysis of the program from Hayden’s visiting tours last spring is any indication, however, the district still has some work to do in ensuring its success at both the elementary and secondary level.

Based on teachers’ feedback, school board members at the goal-setting workshop recommended the idea of rethinking one element in particular of the approach, which stands for Comprehensive, Integrated, Three-Tiered Models.

The program is meant to address the social, emotional and behavioral factors that can sometimes

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Expanded facility The new facility will have an expanded medical clinic and better isolation rooms for sick animals, allowing the shelter to more effectively treat animals and stop diseases from spreading. Meghji said both those aspects will help improve the shelter’s “live-release rate,” which is currently 86 percent.

“I would say we’re doing a really good job considering the facility that we have, and I can’t wait to see what we could do with a facility that really works,” Meghji said.

The approximately $7.5 million facility would be about 22,000 square feet, and would be built on the Humane Society’s current site in eastern Lawrence.

Each year, the shelter takes in about 3,500 dogs, cats, and small mammals — typically rabbits, ferrets and rats, Meghji said. Though the new shelter will be about 3,000 square feet larger than the current one, Meghji said it will have about the same housing capacity. The difference will come from the improved facility, which Meghji said will allow animals to be treated and moved through the

stand in the way of a student’s academic progress.

Its ticket system encourages staff to give out “tickets” to students as a way of reinforcing positive actions. After earning tickets, students can exchange them for items at the school or classroom store. But staff members at Lawrence’s secondary schools, which are only in their second year of implementing the program, have expressed concern that the reward system may not be sophisticated enough for older students. A new pencil from the school store might work on a second grader, for instance, but perhaps less so with a 16-year-old.

“We get constant feedback from teachers and administrators about what’s working and not working,” said Kevin Harrell, the district’s executive director of student services.

“Part of our conversation is, it’s not really about the tickets,” he said. “It’s about the positive reinforcement between the staff and students… I think sometimes we get caught up in giving tickets, but it really is about the base behavior of giving praise.”

Social media education — for parents Technology remains a talking point among teachers, staff and parents in the district, where the much-hyped rollout of 5,000 iPads and 500 laptops generated a rare

non-unanimous vote from the school board when the proposal to acquire the devices was ultimately approved 5-2 last spring.

School board member Rick Ingram, who voted against the initiative earlier this year, suggested at the goal-setting session that the district devise a sort of model social media contract for parents.

The guidelines, he said, could be modified by parents to meet their needs, but would, fundamentally, provide a starting point for parents looking to “have a conversation about expectations and appropriate behavior” with their kids.

The district already has a series of programming devoted to digital citizenship (i.e., staying safe online) lined up at secondary schools this fall, as Jerri Kemble, assistant superintendent of innovation and technology, pointed out during the goal-setting session.

Teachers will have both optional and required training on the devices, their operating systems and software. Parents also will have the opportunity to attend a training session after the devices are distributed to students.

Equity goals The district’s work in addressing equity will continue this year, with an emphasis on expanding Beyond Diversity training to all certified and classified staff.

Since 2009, the district has provided Beyond Diversity training — a twoday seminar that aims to build a foundation for deinstitutionalizing racism and eliminating racial achievement disparities — to more than 1,400 teachers, classified staffers and administrators, according to district spokeswoman Julie Boyle.

Additionally, 100 others, including parents, community partners and school

board members, have also undergone the training.

All new teachers will attend the seminar this October, Boyle said, and the district has already begun training its classified staff. She estimates about 75 percent of the district’s teachers are trained in Beyond Diversity as of this month.

One suggestion from the school board during the goal-setting workshop

was to invite the district’s school resource officers to attend training as well.

The officers work primarily in the high schools and are assigned to middle and elementary schools as needed, but are employees of the Lawrence Police Department, not the school district, Boyle said.

Sign of thaw Kansas would benefit from a less acrimonious relationship between KU and the Legislature

T

here are signs that the frosty relationship between the University of Kansas and the Legislature could be thawing.

At a Board of Regents workshop last week, KU included just two budget requests for next year. Both seem reasonable — $1.3 million to provide enhanced education services to at-risk, nontraditional students during their freshman year, and $5 million over two years to expand the KU Medical Center’s residency program in Wichita. The requests were modest, and ultimately Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the university could live with the status quo.

“My most basic wish would be not to be cut,” Gray-Little said. “One of the most difficult things is to plan what you’re doing when you don’t know what your resources are.”

KU’s requests pale in comparison with fellow Regents universities Kansas State, seeking $150 million in bonding authority and $10 million in funding for a $574 million College of Agriculture upgrade, and Pittsburg State, seeking $36.2 million for building and program expansions.

Tuesday’s budget workshop was the first step in building a higher education budget for the next fiscal year. Next month, regents will finalize requests for the entire system and submit it to Gov. Sam Brownback’s office.

Brownback’s office will then review the requests, along with requests from all other state agencies and programs, and decide which, if any, will be included in his budget proposal to the 2017 Legislature.

KU’s proposals should get a warmer reception from Brownback and the reshaped Legislature, which will not include more than 20 members of the controlling coalition of ultraconservatives who lost primary battles earlier this month to more moderate Republicans. Among those who lost seats were many frequent KU critics, like Tom Arpke, R-Salina.

Less acrimony would be a welcome change from recent sessions. In 2016 the Legislature cut higher education funding 3 percent. Lawmakers, led by Arpke, attacked KU’s $350 million Central District project because the university obtained bond financing that skirted lawmakers’ approval. In 2015, lawmakers, again led

by Arpke, tried to divert millions in funding from the university’s campus in Lawrence to the KU Medical Center campus in Wichita.

The University of Kansas is the state’s flagship university and a critical economic engine. It’s frustrating that the university and the Legislature have of late become adversaries instead of partners in advancing higher education in Kansas for the benefit of everyone.

But hope is on the horizon in 2017. The Republican primary was a rejection of the extremist approach of the past two years.

A working coalition of moderate Republicans and Democrats, likely more favorable to KU and higher education in general, now has a chance to seize control of the Legislature in November. That, coupled with a modest funding request from the university, offers the opportunity for a better working relationship between lawmakers and the university.

One can only hope.

That’s the unlikely ideal two great polemicists, writing over half a century apart, both invoked to describe America’s racial dynamic.

It’s a coincidence that feels significant and not particularly coincidental.

In 1963’s “The Fire Next Time,” James Baldwin writes, “… and this is the crime of which I accuse my country and my countrymen, and for which neither I nor time nor history will ever forgive them, that they have destroyed and are destroying hundreds of thousands of lives and do not know it and do not want to know it. … But it is not permissible that the authors of devastation should also be innocent. It is the innocence which constitutes the crime.”

In 2015’s “Between the World and Me,” Ta-Nehisi Coates muses about the possibility of being killed under color of authority: “And no one would be brought to account for this destruction, because my death would not be the fault of any human but the fault of some unfortunate but immutable fact of ‘race,’ imposed upon an innocent

Changing the way it is will require more than good intentions; it will require sustained and purposeful action.” country by the inscrutable judgment of invisible gods.

The earthquake cannot be subpoenaed. The typhoon will not bend under indictment.”

It simplifies only slightly to say that what both men were describing is the phenomenon sometimes called institutional, structural or systemic racism.

Which brings us to Baltimore and a scathing new Justice Department report on its police department.

The government found that the city’s police have a long pattern of harassing African-Americans and that oversight and accountability

have been virtually nonexistent.

Indeed, the Constitution must have been looking the other way when an officer struck in the face a restrained youth who was in a hospital awaiting mental evaluation, when police arrested people who were doing nothing more sinister than talking on a public sidewalk, when they tasered people who were handcuffed. Not to mention the time a cop strip-searched a teenager on the street as his girlfriend looked on and, after the boy filed a complaint, threw him against a wall and repeated the humiliation, this time cupping his genitals for good measure.

It’s all outrageous stuff.

But to understand the deeper outrage, you must realize that this happened in a city where 63 percent of the people — and 42 percent of the police — are AfricanAmerican.

You will seldom see a sharper picture, then, of systemic bias. If the term confuses you, ask yourself: Who is responsible for this?

Who gave the order that let it happen?

No name suggests itself, of course, and that’s the point. The assumption that black people are less

educable, loan-worthy or deserving of their constitutional rights is baked into our systems of education, banking and policing. If you’re a teacher, a banker, a cop — even a black one — you swiftly learn that there are ways this institution treats African-Americans, and that if you want to thrive, you will conform.

There is no longer a Bull Connor or Strom Thurmond preaching this, nor any need for them. Somehow, the racism just … happens. Somehow, it just … is.

Changing the way it is will require more than good intentions; it will require sustained and purposeful action. But the alternative is a world where a cop feels free to grope a bare-butt black boy on a public street.

Yes, the cop is guilty of the groping, but who stands accountable for his sense of freedom to do so? On that point, many of us grow tellingly mute.

“The earthquake cannot be subpoenaed,” writes Coates.

But Baldwin was right.

It is, indeed, the innocence that constitutes the crime.

TODAY IN HISTORY l On Aug. 14, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued the Atlantic Charter, a joint declaration that expressed hopes for “a better future for the world.” l In 1900, international forces, including U.S. Marines, entered Beijing to put down the Boxer Rebellion, which was aimed at purging China of foreign influence. l In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. l In 1936, Rainey Bethea became the last man to be publicly executed in the United States as he was hanged in Owensboro, Ky., for raping 70-year-old Lischia Edwards. l In 1945, President Harry S Truman announced that Imperial Japan had surrendered unconditionally, ending World War II. l In 1996, the Republican national convention in San Diego nominated Bob Dole for president and Jack Kemp for vice president.

For GOP, all eyes on the Silver State Las Vegas — Nevada, which calls itself the “Battle Born State,” actually was born prematurely because of Republicans’ anxiety.

Now, 152 years later, it again is a subject of their anxiety.

Entering 1864, Abraham Lincoln and his party were intensely, and reasonably, in doubt about his re-election. So, scrambling for every electorate vote, Republicans decided to conjure three from thin air — thin desert air. They began the process of admitting Nevada to the union, even though the 1860 census said its population was 6,857, far short of the 60,000 ostensibly required for statehood. Nine days before the election, the Republican-controlled Congress made Nevada a state (although Gen. Sherman’s Sept. 2 capture of Atlanta probably guaranteed Lincoln’s victory).

On election night 2016, the nation’s attention might be focused on Nevada, where Republicans have their most promising, and probably their only realistic, chance to capture a Democratic Senate seat. Harry Reid, Senate minority leader, is retiring, and Republicans’ hopes of retaining their majority might depend on Joe Heck replacing Reid.

He is a strong candidate for his party, as his opponent is for hers. Catherine Cortez Masto is a former two-term state attorney general who won re-election even against the 2010 anti-Democratic wave. She

Trump’s candidacy has energized Nevada Republicans.”

would be the Senate’s first Latina.

Heck, an emergency room physician and a brigadier general in the Army Reserve, is a third-term congressman from the Las Vegas metropolitan area, where 75 percent of Nevada voters live. His district, where he defeated his 2014 Democratic opponent by 24.6 points, is 19 percent Hispanic and 16 percent Asian-American.

The state’s non-Hispanic white population was 79 percent in 1990 and is now 54 percent. There are about 70,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans, down from 90,000 in 2012, when Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney here by 67,806 votes.

According to the Almanac of American Politics, Nevada was the fastest-growing state in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and from 2000 to 2007, before the economy cratered. Since 1990, the population of Henderson, a Las Vegas suburb, has qua-

drupled to 286,000, the size of Cincinnati. Heck says many people come to Nevada, which has no income tax, in flight from Democratic governance in contiguous California — but some come with, and retain, Democratic attitudes.

Only 24 percent of Nevadans were born in the state, the lowest percentage of any state, which is one reason Nevada was devastated by the subprime mortgage crisis, which left 62 percent of Nevada homeowners “underwater” — owing more on the mortgages than their homes were worth.

Today, only 24 percent are, but Cortez Masto is picking at the scab of the post-2008 trauma with ads accusing Heck of putting the “big banks before Nevada families,” partly because he has received contributions from the financial industry.

Heck notes that Trump’s candidacy has energized Nevada Republicans. He says their February caucuses on a Tuesday evening attracted more participants than the 2008 and 2012 caucuses combined. Which is good for Heck, unless it isn’t: Trump might similarly energize the Hispanic 17 percent of the electorate against Trump, with Heck as collateral damage.

Nevada has a senator from each party and a split (three Republicans, one Democrat) House delegation. Polls show a close contest between Heck and Cortez Masto. Today, there are 54 Republican senators,

seven of whom are in difficult re-election races: Arizona’s John McCain, New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte, Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey, Ohio’s Rob Portman, Missouri’s Roy Blunt, Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson and Illinois’ Mark Kirk. Johnson and Kirk are currently trailing by five or more points.

If Hillary Clinton becomes president, Vice President Tim Kaine will vote with Democrats to organize a 50-50 Senate. Republicans, needing 51 seats for control, must have a net loss of no more than three.

If, in October, Clinton seems headed for the presidency, Heck may need to convince many Nevadans who are tepidly for Clinton to vote strategically — supporting him so a Republican Senate can restrain her. Reid is determined to keep his seat Democratic, but Heck says that in 2014 Reid’s celebrated turnout machine was “an utter disaster.”

In 1908, the Silver State (another Nevada nickname, a legacy of the long-sincedepleted Comstock Lode) voted for a third and final time for the Democrat’s presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan, who favored free coinage of silver. Since then, only once (in 1976, when it favored President Gerald Ford) has Nevada not supported a winner. Which is another reason the nation will be watching Nevada late on Nov. 8.

Economists skeptical about pledges Experts cast doubt on dueling Trump, Clinton proposals Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are making big promises to revitalize the sluggish U.S. economy to a struggling working class that, according to economists, should lower its expectations.

Clinton, who laid out her economic proposals in a Thursday speech in Warren, Mich., wants to build on President Obama’s policies with what she calls the biggest investment in jobs since World War II, saying “America’s best days are still ahead.” But, even under the most favorable circumstances, an acrimonious Congress is likely to circumscribe her to a more modest infrastructure plan paid for by taxing the wealthy.

Winning gold is nice, but Ledecky says memories outweigh the medals Christine Brennan

cbrennan@usatoday.com USA TODAY Sports

RIO DE JANEIRO Katie Ledecky was a full body length ahead of her nearest rival after only 100 meters of her 800-meter freestyle final at the Rio Olympics.

She was almost three body lengths ahead after 300 meters.

It was four lengths — or maybe five — at the halfway point.

By the time Ledecky reached for the wall on her 16th lap Friday night, shattering her own world record by nearly two seconds with a time of 8 minutes, 4.79 seconds, there wasn’t another swimmer close enough to appear in a photo of the finish.

Such was her dominance that it looked as if she was swimming in the pool all by herself.

The silver medalist came along more than 11 seconds later.

Ledecky’s 2016 Olympic Games were complete.

Gold in the 200. Gold in the 400. Gold in the 800.

She choked up. “Sorry.”

Trump, who’s pledging to “unleash a new era of prosperity” for depressed areas of the nation, tossed aside his initial tax plan in favor of one tilted more toward the wealthy. He also wants wholesale business deregulation and is pledging to retreat from trade agreements and stem the flow of immigrant labor, which could have a negative economic impact, some economists say.

China set to finally launch first domestic tampon brand 670 million women make it huge market Hannah Gardner

Special for USA TODAY

China has long focused on American consumerism. But it badly lags in availability of a basic feminine hygiene product: the tampon.

A lack of sex education in this country of 1.3 billion has produced a cultural bias against the tampon until now. Eighty years after the product was introduced in America, Chinese women will BEIJING

be able to purchase their first domestically manufactured brand.

Ye Deliang, 51, an electrical engineer from Henan province, plans to launch Danbishuang tampons this month with a social media campaign that stresses their health benefits.

“It is important China has its own brand of tampon,” Ye said.

“Every industry needs a pioneer, and I want to be this one’s.”

There could be quite a market for the items in China, home to 670 million women — 377 million ages 15 to 50 who are most likely to use them. But it will be hard to convince women to switch from a sanitary pad, with 140 billion

COURTESY OF YE DELIANG

The tampons will face mistrust of China-made products.

pads expected to be used this year. Only 2% of Chinese women use tampons, according to a 2015 survey by Cotton Incorporated, an industry marketing group based in North Carolina.

“One in four non-users (in China) say they would be likely to try tampons if they were educated on how to use them,” the survey said.

Women in China can now buy imported tampons online and in a high-end shops in big cities, and those customers tend to be urban, under 30 and well-educated.

But there are strong cultural reasons China has not had its own brand. Few are taught about menstruation or reproduction, so most Chinese women don’t know what a tampon is and fear the myth that using tampons would mean losing their virginity.

“We have a saying in Chinese that, ‘I would rather starve to

death than lose my chastity,’” said Li Yinhe, a sexologist in China.

Companies selling imported tampons here say interest has grown dramatically.

Simon Lai, owner of Puff House, a Guangdong-based online store that sells Tampax and Kotex brands from the United States, said sales have doubled in the past year to $750,000.

Wishu, a Shanghai-based company founded by two French nationals, reported a similar trend.

“For our customers, it’s a lifestyle choice,” said Wishu’s founder, Jeremy Rigaud. “They want to dress well. Do sports. Feel confident at work.”

‘It’s just been a heck of a week’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

USA TODAY

It was a week marked by controversial Trump comments (if you can imagine that) and dueling policy speeches. Top news from the world of politics:

known as a terrific teammate, someone who genuinely wants other Americans to perform at a high level and even join her on the podium if they’re in the same event. It’s safe to say she’d rather talk about others than herself.

So it was only natural that she would be asked about Simone Manuel’s stunning gold medal in the 100 freestyle the night before.

“You’re going to make me cry more,” Ledecky said, smiling through another tear or two. “I woke up with a sore throat from screaming at the TV. I’m so proud of her and Maya (DiRado, the surprise gold medalist in the 200

backstroke Friday) and all my teammates. It’s just been a heck of a week.”

She knew it would have to end sometime, unless she wanted to swim every event for the U.S. (Now there’s an idea for 2020).

But now that it has, she revealed that this was not the only evening she shed a few tears thinking about these Olympic Games.

“It’s kind of the end of a fouryear dream,” she said. “There were nights where I would go to bed and think about this day and how much fun I’ve had these past four years and start crying.”

If you were Ledecky, after such a remarkable week, wouldn’t you cry as well?

“I woke up with a sore throat from screaming at the TV. I’m so proud of her and Maya.”

Katie Ledecky, on the gold medals won

by Simone Manuel and Maya DiRado

She’s going to take some welldeserved time off now, then head to California to start her freshman year at Stanford.

“I can’t wait to be part of the Stanford team,” she said.

I think it’s safe to say Stanford can’t wait either.

A few minutes later, walking

toward her fifth medal ceremony in the past seven days, Ledecky passed a few of us media members in the hallway. I had just heard that her hometown Washington Nationals had stopped their game so fans at Nats Park could watch her in the 800, so I passed along the information.

“Really?” Ledecky said, a big smile lighting up her face.

“That’s so cool,” said a teammate who was with her.

Ledecky kept on walking. Soon she was back at the opposite end of the pool deck from the starting blocks that had propelled her to such a memorable week, standing again on top of the medal podium, exactly where she belonged.

RYAN GARZA, DETROIT FREE PRESS

Donald Trump say recent remarks were “sarcasm.”

FROM SECOND AMENDMENT UPROAR TO ‘SARCASM’ Donald Trump, as he has on more than a few occasions this campaign, found himself explaining what he meant on two controversial matters this week.

First, there was the sharp criticism he faced when he suggested during a Tuesday rally that “Second Amendment people” may be able to stop Hillary Clinton from picking judges unsympathetic to gun rights, a comment many suggested could be construed as a threat toward the Democratic nominee. Trump later explained that “obviously” he was just talking about the power of gun rights advocates to mobilize voters.

Following that, there was confusion and criticism over his repeated claims that President Obama had founded the Islamic State. Finally, on Friday, Trump sought to put the matter to rest, with a shot at CNN. “THEY DON’T GET SARCASM?” he tweeted in all caps. At a rally later in the day, however, Trump noted that he wasn’t being “that sarcastic, to be honest with you.”

Candidates’ plans reflect political divide v CONTINUED FROM 1B

BILL PUGLIANO, GETTY IMAGES

Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is pushing “fear.”

BOTH CANDIDATES PITCH ECONOMIC POLICIES There was also talk of policy on the campaign trail this week, particularly on the economy.

Trump kicked it off Monday with a speech in Detroit. Blasting Hillary Clinton as “the candidate of the past,” the GOP nominee vowed to reduce taxes, simplify the tax code and cut regulations.

Clinton, speaking Thursday in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Mich., assailed her GOP rival for pushing an agenda “based on fear, not strength.”

Ex-Ohio governor Ted Strickland on trail now for Senate.

OHIO SENATE CANDIDATE APOLOGIZES FOR REMARK Ted Strickland, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Ohio and a former governor, apologized after audio posted by the NTK Network showed him making an “insensitive remark” about the February death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. “The death of Scalia saved labor from a terrible decision,” Strickland said at an AFLCIO event. “And I don’t wish anyone ill, but it happened at a good time.” The case Strickland was referring to was from March when the court deadlocked resulting in a lower-court ruling favorable to public sector unions and their ability to collect fees from non-members being upheld. “That was an insensitive remark and I apologize,” Strickland later said.

stagnant wages, intense anxiety and rising income inequality. An examination of the two plans reveals prescriptions largely in line with traditional party playbooks that reflect a fundamental difference of opinion over what’s causing economic ills.

Trump is espousing traditional Republican orthodoxy regarding the need to cut down on government regulations and overhaul the tax code, pledging an even bigger tax cut than that enacted under President George W. Bush. Clinton says the U.S. tax code is weighted toward the top 1% and pledges to raise taxes on the wealthy, increase spending on job training and lower taxes on companies that hire more Americans.

The elephant in the room is the likelihood that Congress will remain divided.

The thing both candidates seem to agree on is the need for a major investment in infrastructure. Clinton has a $275 billion plan to repair the nation’s roads and bridges and invest in green energy projects like dams and wastewater systems.

Trump, who made his fortune as a real estate investor, says his plan would be twice as big, without offering specifics about how he’d pay for it.

The elephant in the room is the likelihood that Congress — which is more gridlocked than ever — will remain divided, making the prognosis for major progress dimmer than either candidate suggests. That includes stiff Republican resistance to increased infrastructure spending.

Still, given this year’s focus on the issue by both candidates, it’s probably “one of the things that is most viable next year,” said James Lucier, managing director of Capital Alpha Partners and an expert on the politics of the economy. “I doubt it will be a large-scale package,” he added.

EVAN VUCCI, AP

Jackie Siegel, right, and David Siegel cheer as GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Thursday in Kissimmee, Fla.

TRUMP’S PLAN

Trump wants to cut personal income taxes by consolidating them from seven brackets to three, while reducing the top rate from 39.6% to 33%. He also wants to slash corporate and small business taxes and eliminate the estate tax, referred to as the “death tax” by its detractors.

The GOP nominee also wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act and place a moratorium on new agency regulations. He says he’ll renegotiate free trade deals and allow for a child-care tax deduction, proposals setting him apart from other Republicans.

Still, he’s drawn an enthusiastic base of working-class voters not so much because of policy details but by tapping into their anxieties about being on the losing side of a new economy driven by automation and globalization.

“He’s a little different than traditional Republican candidates,” said Lucier. Yet “he’s really offering more style than substance.”

The biggest concern with Trump’s plan is that no one knows how he’ll pay for it. The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says he’d blow a $10.5 trillion hole in the deficit over 10 years. “Trump is basically a throwback to Reagan and an economist named Arthur Laffer, who says government revenue will rise if you cut taxes because there will be more economic activity,” said Maxfield.

But “we do not have evidence that that works, which is why it’s a leap of faith,” said Maxfield.

CLINTON’S PLAN

Clinton is proposing a massive investment in jobs, including a $10 billion manufacturing plan; investments in green energy; fewer small business regulations; and a tax credit for companies that share more profits with workers.

She also wants an “exit tax” for companies that move their operations overseas and debt-free college for public universities.

Clinton has offered details on how she’d pay for her plans, including a 4% surcharge on those who earn above $5 million and instituting a 30% minimum tax on those who earn $1 million or more.

While she’s broken with the president on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (she now opposes it), Clinton has also made clear she wants to continue Obama’s general approach to the economy, creating the image that she’s running for his third term.

“She’s trying to say she’s the change agent while pursuing essentially the same policies,” said Lucier.

It’s also unclear whether Clinton would continue current corporate tax policy, which could hinder growth, said Lucier. Yet “Clinton has emphasized she’d be more transactional and do business with Congress in a way that Obama hasn’t, which is a reason major tax reform is possible,” he said.

Regardless of who’s elected, the next president will have to scale back his or her ambitions to clear a divided Congress.

After warning supporters of possible election fraud in Pennsylvania, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump invited supporters on his official website to volunteer as election observers to “Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!”

The new page on his website provides supporters with a form to fill out to “volunteer to be a Trump Election Observer.”

Speaking at a Friday evening rally in Altoona, Pa., Trump again raised the issue of possible voter fraud in the November elections, saying, “We don’t want to see people voting five times, folks,” adding: “We have to be very careful.”

He said cheating is the only way Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton could win the Keystone State.

“She can’t beat what’s happening here,” he told the crowd. “The only way they can beat it in my opinion, and I mean this 100%, if in certain sections of the state they cheat.”

Real Clear Politics, in averaging the most recent polls in Pennsylvania, shows Clinton leading Trump in the state by 9.9 points.

Jason Miller, a campaign spokesman, told USA TODAY that election observers “will help ensure lawful voters can vote.”

LOUISIANA FLOODS KILL 3; THOUSANDS RESCUED Immense amounts of rain overwhelm communities, with more on the way The (Lafayette, La.) Daily Advertiser LAFAYETTE , LA .

Across Louisiana, at least three people have died and thousands have been rescued from flooding.

Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, said in a news conference Saturday that residents advised to evacuate should do so, because officials don’t know how bad flooding will get.

A man in Zachary died after slipping into a flooded ditch and another man died trapped in a submerged pickup in St. Helena Parish. The body of a woman from Amite was recovered Saturday from the Tickfaw River, according to Michael Martin, chief of operations for the St. Helena Sheriff’s Office.

Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard told the Associated Press that 2,000 people in his parish alone had been rescued, and more were awaiting help.

“We haven’t been rescuing people. We’ve been rescuing subdivisions,” Ard said. “It has not stopped at all today.”

Parts of Lafayette Parish were forecast to receive up to 10 inches of rain Friday and Saturday, according to a news release from Lafayette Consolidated Government. Major flooding that won’t subside until Wednesday evening is in the forecast.

“I’ve seen flooded roads I’ve never seen before,” said Louisiana State Police spokesman Brooks David. In Scott, about 6 miles west of Lafayette, the mayor closed all city streets and said anyone driving could be cited; the Lafayette Parish Sheriff’s Office said it responded to more than 270 calls for rescue in the past day.

Flood stage for the Vermilion River is 10 feet; the level recorded Saturday morning was 16.4 feet, and it was expected to rise to 18.4 feet, a 100-year flood level. Its highest recorded crest was 24.87 feet in 1940.

Theresa and Tony Yowell evacuate their home Friday in Youngsville, La. Lafayette received 10.39 inches of rain Friday after having less than a half inch of rain in early August, according to the National Weather Service. The Vermilion River, which was low before the rain started falling, has reversed course.

“The river’s flowing upstream, which means it’s flowing into the swamp,” said Tom Carroll, Lafayette’s public works director.

In the 24 years he has worked in his building, Carroll said he has never seen the river moving so fast in a northerly direction.

“I don’t know that we’ve ever had this intensity and duration of rain,” Carroll said. “Within the course of 6 to 8 hours, people got 10 inches of rain. No system around here can handle that type of rainfall.”

Thousands of homes were without electricity Saturday.

In Youngsville, about 10 miles south of Lafayette, the Louisiana National Guard went house to house to rescue residents stranded in waist-high water.

“It happened so fast,” said Dana Broussard, who carried a few possessions in plastic bags as she boarded a cargo truck with Noel Comeaux, two dogs and a guinea pig. “We had to climb out of the window to get out. We couldn’t open the door or anything. The water ended up past my window.

If we hadn’t left, we could not have gotten out. And I don’t have any flood insurance. What do I do? Who do I call?”

The storms are part of a larger, westward-moving low-pressure system that won’t taper off until Sunday or early next week.

Edwards declared a state of emergency Friday. Even the governor’s mansion in Baton Rouge

has a flooded basement that caused the governor’s family to find other accommodations.

In a 24-hour period, Baton Rouge reported as much as 11.34 inches of rain, while New Orleans’ international airport in Kenner received just 2.34 inches.

Meteorologist Mike Shields in the weather service’s Slidell office said a weather observer reported 17.09 inches in Livingston.

The Comite River near Baton Rouge and Amite River near Denham Springs were predicted to set record crests over the weekend. Forecaster Alek Krautmann said the rivers could flood many houses near Baton Rouge.

Nearly 54 years after Mary Horton Vail went under the dark water of the Calcasieu River, a jury found her then-husband, Felix Vail, guilty Friday of murdering her.

It is the oldest prosecution of a suspected serial killer in U.S. history. He was the last known person with Mary, the woman he called his wife, Sharon Hensley, who disappeared in 1973, and his wife, Annette, THE (LAFAYETTE, LA.) who disapDAILY ADVERTISER peared in 1984. Felix Vail Sentencing is set for Sept. 26, but Vail will get a life sentence without parole, which means he may celebrate his upcoming 77th birthday behind bars.

“Justice is being served today,” District Attorney John DeRosier told reporters. “I’m just honored to be a part of this process.”

He said prosecutors believe there could be other victims beyond these three women.

The Clarion-Ledger reported on allegations of molestation in 2013, citing items that private investigator Gina Frenzel had found inside Vail’s Texas home, including a photograph of a naked 3-year-old girl and journals where he discussed his relationship with that girl and others.

Annette’s mother, Mary Rose, who had pushed for 32 years for justice, called the verdict “a prayer answered, a dream come true that justice would be done and that he would be held accountable for the three young lives.”

IMAM, ASSOCIATE SLAIN AFTER LEAVING NYC MOSQUE

An imam and his associate were fatally shot Saturday after leaving afternoon prayer at their New York City mosque.

Police said Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and Thara Uddin, 64, were both shot in the back of the head.

Surveillance video appears to show a man with medium complexion, shorts and a dark polo shirt approaching them from behind before fleeing with a gun.

“There’s nothing in the preliminary investigation to indicate that they were targeted because of their faith,” said Deputy Inspector Henry Sautner of the New York Police Department.

However, Reuters reported that there are videos of men gathering to demonstrate near the crime scene, with one telling the crowd that the murder was a hate crime.

Shahin Chowdhury, a worshiper at the mosque, told The Associated Press that he recently heard people cursing while passing the mosque and advised community members to be cautious.

He called the imam a “wonderful person.”

Briley Reynolds, 6, was in serious condition from a traumatic head injury, while her sister Kayla, 10, who suffered a broken arm, and a 16-year-old girl have been released, The Greeneville Sun reported. The three were injured when the Ferris wheel bucket in which they were riding tipped and threw them at least 25 feet to the ground Monday.

The latest question about the Donald Trump campaign: How many debates will the candidate take part in, if any?

While Trump says he’s eager to face Democrat Hillary Clinton, he also wants veto power over certain moderators and other possible changes that have some analysts wondering if the three scheduled presidential debates will come off this fall after all.

Alan Schroeder, author of the book Presidential Debates: Risky Business on the Campaign Trail, said there are two schools of thought about Trump’s reluctance to commit to the debate schedule: He’s either seeking conditions most favorable to him, or “he’s looking for reasons to get out of them altogether.”

Trump says there will be debates; he just wants questions cleared up.

“I don’t think they should be opposite NFL games, and I want to see a fair moderator and whatever else we’ll look at,” Trump told Fox News last week. “But certainly I want to do the debates.”

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is representing Trump in debate talks, told CNN: “Donald Trump is going to participate in all three debates and the negotiations are going to be about — as they always are and have always been — about how we do it.”

Trump said he is prepared to veto certain moderators, who have yet to be named.

The Commission on Presidential Debates has set three presidential debates: Sept. 26 at Hofstra University on Long Island in New York; Oct. 9 at Washington University in St. Louis and Oct. 19 at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A vice presidential debate is set for Oct. 4 at Long-

WILFREDO LEE, AP

Republican Donald Trump says he doesn’t think any of the presidential debates should be opposite NFL games, and he wants to be able to veto “unfair” moderators.

“After the conventions, it is the last opportunity for them to shake up the race.”

Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan

wood University in Farmville, Va. Last week, the Clinton campaign said it would take part in the debates as scheduled, with campaign chairman John Podesta contending the Trump team was “engaged in shenanigans around these debates.”

The three presidential and one vice presidential debate is the standard format, though there have been changes in what is still a relatively new phenomenon, historically speaking.

Presidential candidates in general elections did not debate until 1960, when John Kennedy and Richard Nixon staged four legendary television events. Many analysts believe Kennedy’s polished performances gave him the edge in that very close election.

The next debates were held in 1976, and every election since.

Many analysts believe Trump will ultimately debate, if only for the television exposure.

Aaron Kall, director of debate at the University of Michigan, said the businessman is “always looking to try to get the the rules to his advantage,” and that is likely what is happening here.

Another reason Trump will most likely participate: polls.

The Republican nominee has fallen behind Clinton in recent surveys, and it will be hard for him to catch up before that first scheduled debate on Sept. 26.

Candidates in that position have little to lose by debating.

Debates often help “the candidate who is behind,” Kall said.

“After the conventions, it is the last opportunity for them to shake up the race.”

Thousands in Gaza still displaced after war Delays in promised international aid slow area’s reconstruction Abeer Ayyoub

Special for USA TODAY GAZA CITY For the past two years, Iftetah Amsha, 50, has shared a hot, cramped mobile home with her husband and 10 children. Their house was destroyed during the 50-day war with Israel that ended in August 2014. “I don’t know when I will get out of here,” she said.

The conflict destroyed or damaged 18,000 housing units, the United Nations estimates. Fewer than 4,500 have been reconstructed and more than 13,000 families remain displaced in this crowded strip of land along Israel’s southwestern border.

Palestinian Housing and Public Works Minister Mofeed Al-Hasayneh said delays in international aid are partly to blame.

Only 30% of $5.4 billion pledged at an October 2014 donors conference in Cairo has arrived, mainly from Europe, he said.

Squeezed by the low price of

ABEER AYYOUB, SPECIAL FOR USA TODAY

The Gaza neighborhood of Bet Hanoun hosts many families waiting for their homes to be rebuilt. oil, Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and Qatar have delayed billions in payments. In addition, the United States has been slow to disperse aid because of concerns the money could reach Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group that governs Gaza.

Adding to Gaza’s aid woes, the international charity World Vision has suspended its Gaza pro-

gram amid accusations by Israel that the group’s Gaza director funneled $7.2 million a year to Hamas for five years. Germany and Australia also suspended donations to World Vision in Gaza, according to the Associated Press.

Israeli restrictions on Gaza’s imports of construction materials are another factor slowing progress here, Al-Hasayneh added.

Residents, such as Amsha, have been trying to register to receive construction materials to rebuild her home, but the wait is long.

“If the process keeps moving this slowly, Gaza would need three more years to be totally reconstructed,” Al-Hasayneh said.

A September 2014 agreement brokered by the United Nations was supposed to ease Israeli restrictions on allowing building materials through so they won’t be used for military purposes, such as constructing tunnels or weapons storage facilities. Israel, however, continues to detect new tunnels being built by Hamas, which used them to smuggle supplies, weapons and fighters to attack Israel during the war.

Even as Palestinians complain about Israeli restrictions, some also blame Hamas’ slow efforts to rebuild the Mediterranean coastal enclave of 1.8 million.

Hussien Hameed Zwaidy, 36, lost all five of his brothers and sisters in an Israeli airstrike during the war, and now struggles to look after their children and his own.

Between Hamas’ inefficient bureaucracy and Israeli hurdles, he has no idea when he’ll be able to rebuild his two-story home.

Like many others displaced in Gaza, Zwaidy receives $200 a month from the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees to help him meet costs until he can return home.

The housing shortage is one of many problems compounded by the war, which the U.N. says killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, roughly 70% of them civilians, and 71 Israelis, including five civilians.

Power shortages were common even before the conflict.

The World Bank said Gaza had the world’s highest unemployment rate last year: 43%. Nearly 80% of the population receives some form of social assistance.

Vivian Aamer Hatehat, 32, the mother of seven, recounted her loss as she sat in a shelter near the rubble of her home.

“I lost my home, memories, money,” she said. . “At least I got the television. My children are displaced, but they still can watch cartoons.”

The war erupted after three Israeli teens were kidnapped and killed by two men with alleged ties to Hamas. That prompted an Israeli crackdown, retaliatory rocket fire by Hamas and Israeli airstrikes and a ground offensive.

Ambassador Rufus Gifford and Stephen DeVincent wave at the Copenhagen Pride parade.

Gay U.S. envoy now a star in Denmark Reality TV show makes Gifford a goodwill ambassador Robin Elizabeth Herr Special for USA TODAY

COPENHAGEN American ambassadors abroad tend to be low-profile diplomats who host cocktail parties and try not to make waves in their host countries.

Not here.

Ambassador Rufus Gifford is an A-list celebrity — and even a reality TV star — in this nation of 5.7 million people. On the streets of the capital, the average person knows his name.

That’s because the handsome Gifford, 42, has been a visible presence and an outspoken advocate for gay rights in a country that in 1989 became the first in the world to legalize same-sex unions, and it legalized same-sex marriage in 2012.

His celebrity status was cemented when he starred in his own hit reality show I am the Ambassador from America in 2014. In Season 2 last fall, everyone tuned in to watch Gifford marry his partner, Stephen DeVincent.

Gifford’s life has been an inspiration for homosexual youth, Copenhagen Pride chair Lars Henriksen said. “He has been very open and frank about his own personal story,” Henriksen said. “This has helped to highlight the importance of an LGBTQ-inclusive society.”

Others just like his down-toearth nature. “Rufus is not afraid to come down from his high diplomatic throne to talk with normal beer-drinking, festival-going Danes,” said copy editor Jacob Andersen, 36. “We love to hear how much he likes Denmark.”

PETER BRINCH, VIA THE U.S. EMBASSY IN DENMARK

The marriage in Copehagen of DeVincent, left, and Gifford was featured on Gifford’s reality TV show.

Gifford, who worked as a creative executive for a Hollywood film company, came here as ambassador in 2013 as a reward for serving as financial director for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

In an interview, Gifford cites his diplomatic achievements — improving already close U.S.Danish ties — rather than his lifestyle as his main accomplishment. “I think it is our job to help create an element of trust not just with the government but also with the population more broadly,” he said.

To promote U.S. values, Gifford has held town hall meetings with students who are encouraged to ask any question, no matter how tough.

He is active on social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Before traveling, he polls for suggestions of places to visit. Once he surprised a group of students by attending a birthday barbecue they had invited him to join.

His time in a country such as Denmark, where alternative life-

styles are embraced, marks a long journey from when he was a youth back home and had to keep secret about being gay.

Gifford grew up as the scion of a blue-blood New England banking family. His father, Charles, ran the Bank of Boston in the 1980s and was chairman of Bank of America. Gifford said he grew up terrified of admitting his sexuality in public. But his parents were accepting once they discovered his feelings, which occurred when his mother opened a journal of his.

“One of the biggest struggles you have as a young, gay person is figuring out how to be comfortable in your own skin,” he said.

Gifford’s TV show covered intimate details of his life and work.

It filmed him joining Danish special forces for overnight exercises, visiting Greenland to investigate climate change and traveling home after 12 hours of work.

“To the Danish eye, he resembles a Hollywood film star,” said Erik Struve Hansen, executive producer of DR3, the public TV channel that carried the show.

“He has a wide, white smile. He is always upbeat but can also be serious.”

Gifford said he worried that he might lose his job if the show tanked or proved controversial.

“It was terrifying, but exciting,” he said.

Some critics say Gifford has taken public diplomacy a little too far. Danish lawmaker Naser Khader of the Conservative Party complained that the country deserves a career diplomat, not a Hollywood star.

Now, as his time in Denmark likely nears an end along with the Obama administration, Gifford is pondering his next move. He said he may run for political office or work as a business consultant.

“Ultimately,” he said, “I have to know that what I am doing is making the world a better place.”

SO, DID CUPPING WORK FOR PHELPS?

Cupping therapy is an alternative Chinese medicinal practice used for healing muscles. Several high-profile Olympic athletes, including Phelps, are using it.

How it works:

Vacuum

Cups

Fist-sized circular cups, usually glass, are placed on the skin. The cups have small valves that attach to a hand-held suction pump, which vacuums air from the cup. Cups can also be heated, to create a vacuum.

SOURCE USA TODAY Sports; USA TODAY research; BBC GEORGE PETRAS AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

Skin rises in cups

Cups are left in place for 5-10 minutes. The vacuum sucks the skin into the cup, separating it from tissue below. The process can cause blood vessels in skin to rupture, causing circular purple bruises to appear.

Mild bruising

Proponents of the treatment say it increases blood flow to the affected area, promoting muscle healing.

Medical authorities are divided over the treatment’s effectiveness.

Verizon’s bid to revitalize media company has two big hurdles: Ad revenue leaders Google, Facebook Mike Snider @mikesnider USA TODAY

When it comes to digital advertising, Google and Facebook take home the top prizes while the rest of the media players wrestle for the bronze, if they’re lucky.

Tim Armstrong wants to introduce a new medalist — and his boss, Verizon, just gave him a $4.8 billion chance to do it.

The former Google exec running AOL will buff up the telecommunications giant’s reach in content and advertising with Yahoo, a deal expected to close early next year at the latest. His aim is clear: remake Verizon by bolstering its strengths in mobile with its growing content library that includes AOL’s The Huffington Post and Yahoo’s destinations for News, Sports and Finance, and its NBA site The Vertical — and Yahoo’s 1 billion users — into a cutting-edge Net media company.

“We are going to run it as a house of brands with multiple very big front-end brands and we will try to leverage the scale of our services in the background,” Armstrong said in an interview.

Verizon’s ad delivery technology, already evolved from the integration of AOL, which Verizon acquired in May 2015, will improve even more with Yahoo’s own ad tech on board. The combination of Yahoo’s audience, AOL’s hundreds of millions of us-

ers and Verizon’s 113 million mobile customers — and the rich location-based data set on them — should entice advertisers.

“We are going into this with a mentality that we are in the Internet Olympics and you have two gold medalists in front of us in Google and Facebook and when it is our time to get up on the platform we have to compete,” Armstrong said.

The challenges are well-known and may ultimately be too formidable. Google and Facebook dominate the global digital ad market with 31% and 12%, respectively, of this year’s estimated revenues of $186.8 billion, according to research firm eMarketer. Yahoo and Verizon (AOL and its Millennial Media) own 1.5% and 0.7% globally. In the U.S., they have a bit more clout with 3.4% and 1.8%, respectively.

In July, the front-runners reported their best quarterly ad revenue performances in two years — Google upping its mobile ad sales, Facebook gaining video ads with Facebook Live.

Yahoo, meanwhile, has struggled. Brought in more than four years ago to help turn the pioneering Web portal around, CEO Marissa Mayer made dozens of acquisitions — some smart, some questionable, depending on whom you ask. Among them: multimedia blogging site Tumblr (in 2013, for $1.1 billion) mobile ad and analytics firm Flurry (2014, about $300 million) and

video advertising company BrightRoll (2014, $640 million).

Mayer’s focus on mobile growth led to improvement. Its mobile ad business is expected to grow 24.5% to $1.31 billion this year, according to eMarketer. The problem? Google and Facebook are growing faster and are expected to squeeze Yahoo’s market share from 1.5% to 1.3%.

At Verizon, Armstrong, 45, and his boss, executive vice president Marni Walden, have overseen the integration of AOL into the telco and begun offering some Huffington Post and other content on Verizon’s free ad-supported mobile video network go90.

Obvious next steps include centralizing advertising sales across the Verizon-AOL-Yahoo landscape and providing advertisers improved targeting of consumers, says Martín Utreras, senior forecasting analyst with eMarketer.

“Verizon’s traditional business is definitely slowing down, so

there’s an opportunity to leverage those large audiences (at AOL and Yahoo).”

But a connectivity company like Verizon successfully evolving into a content and media company is no slam dunk, says Robert Salomon, associate professor of international management at the NYU Stern School of Business.

“It’s not just Verizon,” he said.

“You can go back in history and marrying content and delivery has been a difficult business for a long time.”

“It’s not clear to me Verizon is really equipped to be a manager of content,” Salomon said.

Micro-cap growth stocks worth a look now They perform well late in bull markets, but much of the action has moved overseas Investing

Mark Hulbert Special to USA TODAY

If we’re in the later stages of this remarkable bull market — as many are arguing in the wake of the stock market’s all-time high this month — then so-called micro-cap growth stocks should perform spectacularly.

These are the stocks of companies whose market caps are among the smallest of any publicly traded firms and trade on the assumption their earnings growth will be among the fastest.

Such stocks have produced an average annualized gain of 79% in the last three months of all bull markets since the mid-1920s, according to the bull market calendar maintained by Ned Davis Research and data compiled by Dartmouth finance professor Kenneth French and University of Chicago professor and Nobel laureate Eugene Fama.

There’s a catch: The rest of the time these stocks, on average, have produced a small loss.

That makes good stock picking crucial when it comes to microcap growth stocks. These stocks tend not to be widely followed — making it difficult to obtain information about how the companies are doing.

Unfortunately, one of the sources to which investors have turned for help has decided to discontinue. The Oberweis Report has been published for 40 years — the last 20 by Jim Oberweis, president of Oberweis Asset Management. His father, Jim, who preceded him, is now a member of the Illinois Senate.

Since 1988, according to performance tracking by the Hulbert Financial Digest, the Oberweis newsletter’s model portfolio beat a buy-and-hold in the stock market by 1.8 percentage points per year on an annualized basis.

The younger Oberweis most definitely is not giving up on the sector. “I’d say we’re in the later stages of the bull market; we’re not in the first, but not the ninth inning, either.”

Good stock picking is crucial when it comes to micro-cap growth stocks, but the stocks tend not to be widely followed.

Oberweis had several reasons to shutter the newsletter, including regulatory burdens and publishing’s diminished profitability.

But there also was an investment rationale: The belief that many of the best opportunities in the micro-cap sector now lie outside the U.S. — and thus beyond the scope of their newsletter. “Only about 10% of our firm’s assets under management are in U.S. equities

STF

right now,” he said.

One of the reasons foreign micro-cap stocks offer more opportunities is that fewer research analysts follow them, Oberweis said, which means it’s easier to find stocks with huge potential.

The market for U.S.-traded micro-cap stocks, in contrast, has become increasingly efficient.

Another factor is that microcap growth stocks tend to be ex-

traordinarily volatile. Portfolio diversification therefore requires owning a large number of them.

Oberweis recommends at least 30 to 40. There are also high transaction costs. Investors will need pay commissions not only to stockbrokers but to exchange dollars into the foreign currency.

Because of these challenges, you may want to pay a mutual fund manager to do the work for you. But you can still follow Oberweis by investing in his fund offerings, such as the Oberweis Emerging Growth Fund (OBEGX), which has produced a 7% annualized return over the last three years, according to Morningstar. That’s far better than the nearly 3% annualized loss for the average U.S. microcap growth stock over the same period, according to data from Fama and French.

Other funds in the sector include the TFS Small-Cap Fund (TFSSX), with a 6.9% annualized three-year return, and the Bridgeway Ultra Small-Cap Fund (BRSIX); with a three-year return of 4.5% annualized.

Hulbert, founder of the Hulbert Financial Digest, has been tracking investment advisers' performances for four decades.

Louisiana native Hull makes KU feel like home

Solo act OLYMPICS

Kansas running backs coach Tony Hull knows that he has a challenge ahead of him as he begins his first season of working at the collegiate level, but it is not a situation that the mildmannered Louisiana native is nervous about.

Hull calmly addressed reporters at KU football’s recent media day in the Anderson Family Football Complex and assured that his first five months on David Beaty’s staff have gone smoothly, as he has learned the ins and outs of Big 12 football, while also helping the program make huge recruiting strides in his home state.

“It’s been great, man.

ROYALS

By Luke DeCock

Rio de Janeiro — Verve.

It’s one of Mike Krzyzewski’s favorite words when his team is playing well, denoting any number of things: crisp ball movement, effective help defense, hustle, teamwork, usually all in concert.

For a quarter Friday night, for the first time in the Olympics, really, the United States had verve to spare. Shrugging off the slow starts off the first three games and the defensive breakdowns of the Australia near-miss, the Americans produced more oohs and aahs in the first quarter against Serbia than they had their entire time in Brazil.

It was perhaps the finest moment of this team’s brief time together, one quarter when everything seemed to be going the Americans’ way, when they played to their full potential.

Less than two hours later, they were lining up to defend a Serbian three-pointer to send the game to overtime.

The United States survived when Bogdan Bogdanovich’s wide-open three-pointer from the left wing bounced off the rim for a 94-91 win, but how the Americans ended up in that perilous situation — especially after starting with such verve — is a measure of the task ahead.

This will be no stroll to a gold medal, no matter how it looked after the first two games. These teams are not awed by the United States, at least this U.S. team, not in the slightest. Serbia was left for dead after the first quarter and never lost hope.

If the U.S. women’s soccer team can lose in the quarterfinals and go home without a medal, with a relatively inexperienced group missing several familiar faces, its collective talent overwhelmed by superior teamwork and tactics, the same thing can happen to a basketball team that fits roughly the same description and doesn’t have the same intimidation factor of its predecessors. Australia never flinched. Serbia had a shot to tie. France, which just beat Serbia, is next.

“We’re going to get their best shot,” Krzyzewski said.

“It’s kind of free money. You play a game like this and you’re going to be celebrated win or lose. For us, that’s not the case, ever.”

The issue for the United States isn’t offense, even if the Americans are prone to standing around at times and forcing the occasional shot. The offense is there. It has carried the United States through. The defense is the problem.

After patting themselves on the back after the China and Venezuela games, the Americans have been unable to deal with the patient, persistent ball movement of Australia and Serbia, both of which thrived when given open three-point looks and back-door layups, enough to push the United States.

These issues are compounded by what has emerged as the biggest deficiency on the roster: the big men. Both DeMarcus Cousins and DeAndre Jordan have struggled to figure out international officiating, and Carmelo Anthony and Draymond Green don’t match up well with the overseas galoots who can be too ponderous to excel in the NBA but thrive at this level.

The United States needs to recapture the verve. It was there. It can be again, before it’s too late, as the women’s soccer team can now attest.

TAMPA BAY RAYS

RYAN MOORE TEES OFF ON THE SIXTH HOLE DURING THE JOHN DEERE CLASSIC on Saturday in Silvis, Ill. Moore shot two rounds of 65 for one-stroke lead.

Two rounds of 65 put Moore in Deere lead Silvis, Ill. — Ryan Moore shot two more rounds of 6-under 65 on Saturday to take the third-round lead in the John Deere Classic, finishing at 8:25 p.m. in nearly dark conditions.

After opening Thursday with a 65, Moore never got on the course Friday in the tournament that finally got back on schedule Saturday when the players raced to finish before dark.

Former University of Kansas golfer Gary Woodland shot a second-round 72 and missed the cut by one stroke.

Play was delayed 3 1/2 hours Thursday when an inch of rain fell, then the start was delayed five hours Friday after an overnight storm dumped another 2.4 inches on the soaked course.

Morgan Hoffman and Ben Martin each shot 62 to move within a stroke at 17 under.

The 33-year-old Moore has four PGA Tour victories, winning the CIMB Classic in 2013 and 2014. He was third in March in the Valspar Championship and has five top-10 finishes this season.

GOLF

Jimenez takes Senior lead Upper Arlington, Ohio — Miguel Angel Jimenez handled gusty winds and shot a 1-under 69 Saturday to grab the lead after the third round of the U.S. Senior Open Championship.

Despite three bogeys on the windy back nine, the 52-year-old Spaniard finished as one of just four players under par for the day. He’s at 3-under 207 through 54 holes at Scioto Country Club in suburban Columbus.

Jimenez started the day three shots off the lead.

Gene Sauers had an up-and-down day with four birdies and five bogeys, finishing with a 71 to put him in second place. He shot a 68 on Thursday and 69 Friday.

AUTO RACING

Marks wins Xfinity race Lexington, Ohio — Justin Marks splashed through the rain at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Saturday for his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory.

The 35-year-old Marks pulled away on a

restart with two left to go in the 75-lap race on the 2.085-mile, 13-turn road course, finishing 3.7 seconds ahead of pole-sitter Sam Hornish Jr. Marks started 16th in the second of the series’ three road-course races. He took the lead from Ty Dillon with 10 laps left, and had a 17-second lead with four laps left when T.J. Bell went off the track and brought out the eighth and final caution.

With the rain falling harder, Marks cautiously negotiated the slippery final laps. He led 43 laps in Chip Ganassi Racing’s No. 42 Chevrolet.

Hornish was driving Richard Childress Racing’s No. 2 Chevrolet. The three-time IndyCar season champion and 2006 Indianapolis 500 winner is from Defiance, Ohio.

Ryan Blaney was third, followed by Dillon, Justin Allgaier, Eric Jones, Andy Lally, Brendan Gaughan, series points leader Elliott Sadler and Brennan Poole.

SOCCER

Sporting KC draws with Dallas Frisco, Texas — Maximiliano Urruti’s goal in the 76th minute capped a flurry of four goals in 10 minutes and allowed FC Dallas to earn a 2-2 draw with Sporting Kansas City on Saturday night that pushed its unbeaten home streak to 18 games.

Maynor Figueroa sent a ball from the left side to the goal that Sporting KC keeper Alex Kann declined to play. It went off the post out front and Urruti, whose back was to the net, beat Kann with a bicycle kick for his seventh goal.

Sporting Kansas City took the lead when Dominic Dwyer scored goals five minutes apart. The first, in the 68th minute, came after a hard feed inside from Brad Davis, with Dwyer going top shelf over keeper Chris Seitz.

The second came when he pounced on a loose ball in the box and sent a left footed shot into the far corner for his 12th goal of the season.

Tesho Akindele opened the scoring for Dallas with his sixth goal in the 66th minute, just five minutes after coming on. He headed the ball on a cross from Atiba Harris that seemed to just skim the head of a leaping defender before getting to Akindele.

NFL PRESEASON The Associated Press

Titans 27, Chargers 10 Nashville, Tenn. — DeMarco Murray ran for a 71-yard touchdown and rookie Derrick Henry also scored, and Tennessee’s new-look rushing attack delivered an impressive debut Saturday in a preseason victory over San Diego.

Murray, seeking a new start in Tennessee after struggling with Chip Kelly’s offense in Philadelphia last season, had six carries for 93 yards. Henry, the 2015 Heisman Trophy winner from Alabama, had 10 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Colts 19, Bills 18 Orchard Park, N.Y. — With Andrew Luck getting a break, backup quarterbacks Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris teamed up in leading Indianapolis over Buffalo.

The game wasn’t without its late dramatics. Bills rookie third-stringer Cardale Jones nearly pulled out a comeback victory in the final seconds.

Rams 28, Cowboys 24 Los Angeles — Dallas’ Dez Bryant caught a 10-yard touchdown pass, but Los Angeles earned a win in its homecoming when Sean Mannion threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to

Aaron Green with 1:54 remaining at the LA Coliseum.

Bryant had two receptions for 28 yards, including a leaping catch on the sideline against cornerback Coty Sensabaugh for 18 yards. He played one series before leaving the game.

Quarterback Tony Romo, rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott, tight end Jason Witten and left tackle Tyron Smith were held out of the game.

Rams running back Todd Gurley and defensive end Robert Quinn also did not play, as a crowd of 89,140 saw Cowboys wide receiver Lucky Whitehead score on a 101-yard kick return.

Ex-Jayhawk Finley 11th in discus J-W Staff Reports

Matt Dunham/AP Photo

UNITED STATES’ MASON FINLEY, A FORMER UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ATHLETE, makes an attempt in the men’s discus finals at the Olympics on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro — A pair of former Kansas track and field athletes went up against the world’s greatest Saturday at the Olympic Games. Mason Finley placed 11th in the finals of the men’s discus, and Andrea Geubelle was 21st in the qualifying rounds of the women’s triple jump.

Finley, a KU thrower from 2010-12, advanced to Saturday’s final by placing sixth in the qualifying flights Friday. In the final, he opened his morning inside Olympic Stadium with a throw of 60.43 meters (198-3). After heaving the discus into the netting of the cage for a foul on his second attempt, Finley tallied a third mark of 62.05 meters (203-7).

His final throw was good enough to move him up

one spot to 11th. Finley’s finish marked the best by an American in the Olympic discus since 2004.

Geubelle was a threetime NCAA champion for the Jayhawks from 201013. On her first attempt, Geubelle went 13.67 meters (44-10). She committed a foul on her second attempt, then went 13.93 meters (45-8) on her third attempt.

Geubelle was unable to finish among the top 12 that will advance to the triple jump final.

One more Jayhawk still is awaiting his time to take the Olympic Stadium track. Former KU athlete Kyle Clemons is slated to compete on the United States 4x400-meter relay team. The first round of the 4x400-meter relay will be at 7:10 p.m.

Friday.

ing his senior season in which he served as team captain.

Kelley also was a member of the 1960 USA Men’s Olympic team that was enshrined into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., in 2010. His gold medal resides in the Booth Family Hall of Athletics in Allen Fieldhouse.

Following his KU career, Kelley was chosen in the seventh round, 56th overall, in the 1954 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee

Fainaru-Wada regarding a June 21, 2014 incident that led to Solo’s arrest on two counts of domestic violence against her sister and nephew: “The police were trying to book her into jail, but Solo was so combative that she had to be forced to the ground, prompting her to yell at one officer, ‘You’re such a b----. You’re scared of me

because you know that if the handcuffs were off, I’d kick your ass.’ ” She told a cop who had asked her to remove a necklace that it was worth more than he made in a year, according to police records. Nice.

That’s in keeping with the original spirit of the Olympic Games!

A judge dismissed the charges, her role as Team

USA goalie never was threatened, and she was able to embarrass herself and her country with her mouth. Her Twitter apology: “Losing sucks. I’m really bad at it.”

I feel the same way about poetry. I never have understood it and certainly can’t write it. I do remember thoroughly enjoying a touching limerick about assassi-

nated California Angels outfielder Lyman Bostock, penned by a friend of my late, great brother George. Other than that, I just don’t get poetry.

Now I need help writing a limerick about Hope Solo. I tried, it started OK, but then hit a snag and failed miserably. After reading mine, please try to improve upon it.

There once was a tall goalie named Hope A beauty was she but spoke like a dope The victors she said were not brave This she claimed after her failed save So into Hope’s mouth we go with soap Surely, you can do better. Please improve upon it, especially the rhythm of the final line.

during preseason practices. Plus, Hull helped KU land the following commitments for its 2017 recruiting class: Troy James (three-star defensive end, according to Rivals), Takulve Williams (twostar receiver), Travis Jordan (three-star athlete).

While Starks and Hull will have a different player-coach relationship at Kansas with Hull not working directly with the Warren Easton alumnus,

the KU running backs have shared rave reviews of their new position coach.

“He stresses ball security, which is a good thing because that’s our main focus is to hold on to the ball as a running back,” senior Ke’aun Kinner said.

Likewise, the new running backs coach has liked what he’s seen from Kinner, the team’s leading rusher from 2015.

“He’s done a great job of changing his body over the summer. I never really got a chance to work with him in the spring, though, because he was hurt,” Hull said.

“However, I see why everyone is so excited about him. Not only does he work hard, but he leads by example.”

While Kinner far and away has the most experience of anyone in the Kansas backfield, Hull

has been impressed with young talent at the position as well. The KU staff has big expectations for the likes of freshman Khalil Herbert, junior Arkansas transfer Denzell Evans and sophomores Taylor Martin and Ryan Schadler, to compete with Kinner for playing time.

During Friday’s media session, Beaty said Kinner has stood out through

just more than a week of preseason practices and revealed Martin looks much more effective than he did in the spring.

“Coach Beaty has made an emphasis on making this position an open competition, and those guys are definitely putting their name in the hat by the way they have competed…,” Hull said.

“It’s interesting to see how it’s going to play out.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Dozier, Duffey lead Twins past Royals The Associated Press

American League Twins 5, Royals 3 Minneapolis — When your starting pitcher gives up three home runs, you need to take advantage of every offensive opportunity you create.

The Kansas City Royals blew a big chance Saturday night.

Brian Dozier hit his 25th home run of the season and the 100th of his career, leading Tyler Duffey and the Minnesota Twins over the Royals, 5-3.

Tied 1-1 in the fifth inning, the Royals got a leadoff walk to Alex Gordon and a single by Alcides Escobar. But No. 9 hitter Raul Mondesi popped up a sacrifice bunt attempt, and the Twins turned a double play on a hard-hit grounder by Paulo Orlando to get out of the inning.

“That was a big play because if we get the bunt down, Paulo’s ball — probably, if they play the infield in — goes through for two runs,” Royals manager Ned Yost said.

“He’s an excellent bunter.

It just shows you though there’s nothing in this game that is a sure thing no matter how good you are at it.”

For the second time this season, the Twins homered three times off Royals starter Dillon Gee (4-6), who gave up five earned runs on 11 hits and one walk in 5 1/3 innings.

“The first five innings ... we were battling pretty good and the curveball was good,” Gee said. “We were able to battle our way through five, and in the sixth it just fell apart.”

Robbie Grossman homered in the fifth inning to put Minnesota ahead 2-1.

In the sixth, Kurt Suzuki hit a one-out single and Eddie Rosario drove a belt-high fastball into the bullpen in left-center for his eighth home run of the season.

Dozier then hit the same pitch deep into the second deck in left, ending Gee’s night.

“The ball just started elevating and I wasn’t commanding it very well,” Gee said. “They put good swings on mistakes.”

Duffey (8-8) won for the third time in three starts this month. He allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings, striking out six. His outing was especially timely given the recent troubles of Minnesota’s starting staff. In the previous three games, Twins starters lasted a combined 10 innings.

“The more that the short outings get compounded, the more that it taxes your team collectively,” Molitor said.

“You need a little relief.

Long starts are right up there with off days.”

Ryan Pressly pitched a scoreless eighth.

Phillies 6, Rockies 3 Philadelphia — Maikel Franco hit a threerun homer, then was in the middle of a testy exchange that led to the benches clearing and a pair of ejections.

On a hot, humid evening with a gametime temperature of 93 degrees and a heat index of 105, tempers flared in the fourth inning.

Interleague White Sox 8, Marlins 7 Miami — Catcher Dioner Navarro scored the goahead run on a strikeout, capping an eighth-inning comeback.

The White Sox blew an early 4-0 lead and trailed 7-6 to start the eighth.

They rallied against Kyle Barraclough (6-3) with the help of a walk, two wild pitches and Justin Morneau’s first pinch-hit of the year, a double.

After Morneau tied it, the Sox had runners at the corners with two out. Melky Cabrera took a weak swing at a 2-2 pitch in the dirt, but the ball skipped away from catcher J.T. Realmuto, allowing Cabrera to reach first while Navarro came home from third.

Saturday’s Medalists

Rebecca Blackwell/AP Photo

UNITED STATES’ MICHAEL PHELPS, RIGHT, AND Britain’s James Guy compete in the men’s 4x100-meter medley relay Saturday in Rio de Janiero. Phelps won his fifth gold medal of the 2016 Olympics.

Phelps adds gold in 4x100 relay Rio de Janeiro (ap) — This goodbye was golden.

Michael Phelps put the United States ahead to stay on the butterfly leg of the 4x100 medley relay, his last race before retiring, and Nathan Adrian finished it off, giving Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, his 23rd career gold medal.

Two-time gold medalist Ryan Murphy put the Americans out front with a world-record split on the backstroke but Britain surged ahead on the breaststroke and Phelps dived into the pool in second place.

On the return lap, Phelps powered through the water with his whirling butterfly stroke, surging ahead of James Guy to pass off a lead to the anchor Adrian.

If this was indeed the end, then Phelps went out in style, with 28 medals overall, having won five golds and a silver in Rio de Janeiro.

The victory came just minutes after the women’s medley relay gave the United States its 1,000th Olympic gold medal in the history of the Summer Games.

Also on Day 8 of the games, Usain Bolt thrilled the crowd at Olympic Stadium in his first appearance of the games and Rafael Nadal’s bid for an unprecedented second Olympic singles gold medal ended with a thrilla-minute semifinal loss to Juan Martin del Potro.

Monica Puig won Puerto Rico’s first gold medal in any sport in Olympic history, upsetting Angelique Kerber in the women’s tennis singles final. Puig is ranked 34th and is the first unseeded women’s singles gold medalist since tennis re-

turned to the Olympics in 1988.

Seeded second, Kerber won the Australian Open in January and was the runner-up at Wimbledon last month. She was trying to give Germany its first singles gold since Steffi Graf in 1988, but instead goes home with silver.

While competitions wrapped up in swimming and rowing, they’re just heating up in track and field, where Mo Farah of Britain recovered from a fall to defend his Olympic 10,000-meter title and American Jeff Henderson overtook Luvo Manyonga of South Africa on his last jump to win the long jump gold medal.

Elaine Thompson won the women’s 100-meter title in 10.71 seconds, ending fellow Jamaican Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s bid to win the event for a third straight Olympics. American Tori Bowie took silver.

Phelps also said the London Games were his last four years ago only to change his mind.

He insists he won’t be coming out of retirement again for Tokyo in 2020.

“I’m not going four more years and I’m standing by that,” he said. “I’ve been able to do everything I’ve ever put my mind to in the sport and after 24 years in the sport, I’m happy with how things finished.”

Other highlights from Day 8: Golf gold: For all the talk about top players skipping Rio, the sport couldn’t have asked for a better final round. Justin Rose of Britain is the third-round leader and will be trying to win golf’s first gold medal in 112 years. Rose made two eagles in the opening five

holes and shot a 6-under 65 to build a one-shot lead over British Open champion Henrik Stenson.

Sluggish sprinter: Bolt did not disappoint the crowd, but he was displeased with himself.

He was slow out of the blocks but once his tall majestic frame reached full flow, there was no stopping him. “It wasn’t the best start, it felt kind of sluggish,” Bolt said, adding that he never has been a morning person and preparations for his noon race felt unusual.

Lonely Russian: The IAAF has banned the only Russian in Olympic track and field from competition and she is appealing the ruling. A decision on Darya Klishina’s petition is expected before the long jump competition begins Tuesday. The former European indoor champion was the only one of 68 Russians allowed to compete in track amid a doping scandal.

Goodbye Green: After blaming algae, heat and even the number of swimmers for the green water at Maria Lenk Aquatics Center, officials now say a contractor mistakenly dumped hydrogen peroxide into the pool, causing an adverse reaction with chlorine. So, they’re draining the larger pool to transfer nearly 1 million gallons from a nearby practice pool.

Photo finish: After rowing for more than a mile, the gold medal came down to an inch. New Zealand’s Mahe Drysdale and Croatia’s Damir Martin crossed the finish line in the men’s single sculls side by side, not knowing which one of them was the new Olympic champion. A photo analysis showed Drysdale won by a thumb’s length.

who was not drafted, was 16 for 26 for 188 yards. Keeping the winning drive alive, he had a scrambling 15-yard run. It was second-and-9 when he lofted the pass to McEvoy, who was waiting in the end zone for the ball.

For the first 59 minutes, the Chiefs dominated, getting a touchdown drive from Alex Smith on their first possession and three field goals from Cairo Santos, including a career-long 58-yarder.

Steven Hauschka also had three field goals for the Seahawks.

Picking up Seahawks: Hauschka was 3 for 3 after hitting 29 of 31 last season, connecting from 52, 49 and 50 yards.

Chiefs: Santos was also perfect on three attempts and Marcus Peters, last season’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, had an interception of Wilson at the goal line.

Rookie watch Seahawks: Brandin Bryant, the 290-pound rookie out of Florida Atlantic who’s been turning heads in practice, had two tackles at left tackle and seemed to hold his own against more experienced Chiefs linemen.

Tyvis Powell, a safety out of Ohio State, made an alert interception off a tipped ball, got up and returned it 11 yards to put the Seahawks at midfield.

Chiefs: Special teams hopeful Eric Murray made a nifty stop on the 9-yard line on the kickoff following Santos’ field goal, leading to KC next taking possession at its 44.

players from even suiting up, including running backs C.J. Prosise and Zac Brooks and wide receivers Deshon Foxx, Kevin Smith and Kasen Williams. ... Tight end Jimmy Graham, who returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since injuring his patella tendon last November, stayed home.

Chiefs: Linebacker D.J. Alexander went out in the first quarter with a rib injury, but returned late in the second.

Position battles Seahawks: Boykin got off to a good start in his competition to back up Wilson. His case is strengthened because his college offense is similar to what he’s doing now.

out linebacker Ramik Wilson for a 5-yard gain on third down.

Chiefs: Nick Foles, signed after camp opened to perhaps provide experienced backup for Smith, completed half his eight passes for 37 yards and was high on his first couple of throws, a problem he’s been having in camp. But tight end Demetrius Harris dropped a well-thrown ball on third down.

Smith directed a nearly flawless touchdown drive in his only possession, making a particularly nifty third-down completion to set up KC’s touchdown. He was 3 for 4 for 36 yards.

Wilson was almost equally impressive in his brief appearance. But a goal-line interception by Marcus Peters thwarted an otherwise impressive drive by the Seahawks’ first-team offense and its revamped offensive line.

Heaps was 2 for 6 for 20 yards.

Nick Foles, who had success in Philadelphia with Andy Reid, completed half of his eight passes for 37 yards after replacing Smith but was high on several throws. Tyler Bray, the strong-armed undrafted fourth-year quarterback from Tennessee, was 3 of 9 for 48 yards.

Taking advantage of Seattle mistakes, the Chiefs’ first-team offense drove 49 yards in eight plays to take a 7-0 lead on the game’s first possession. Knile Davis picked up 34 yards with the kickoff, then a facemask penalty on Steven Terrell added 15. On third-and-9 from the Seattle 21, Smith escaped pressure and found Jeremy Maclin on the 1. Spencer Ware went in for the TD. “It was good work out there, going against another team for the first time,” said Ware, who had 24 yards on five carries for an offense that rushed for 135 yards. “Camp’s not over yet. We’ve got a lot of work to do.”

SHARP SHOOTERS PLAYER JOHN TRIEU, OF LAWRENCE, SCANS THE TABLE before shooting during a league play pool match on Tuesday at the Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St. Trieu and five other members of the Sharp Shooters will be traveling to Las Vegas to compete alongside more than 800 teams in the American Poolplayers Association 8-Ball World Championships this week.

Another shot Lawrence pool players get second chance at world championship

By Nick Krug lll

n the game of pool, tales of big money games, rough venues and even rougher people roll off the tongue about as often as the balls roll along the green felt.

Sometimes the stories even come with a prop, like the left hand of Lawrence resident Noble Lathrom. It features a protruding carpal bone and

some fingers that don’t quite lay straight. How it got that way about 50 years ago, Lathrom admits, sounds a bit like a scene from Paul Newman’s famous pool hall movie “The Hustler.”

“See how crooked them fingers are? I got them broken on Canal Street in Chicago, Illinois,” he offers. “It was a pretty tough place. That was whenever women couldn’t go into the pool halls.”

Soon, Lathrom hopes he’ll have another story to tell, and

a less painful prop: a world eight ball championship trophy. For the second year in a row, Lathrom is leading a Lawrence-based team to the American Poolplayers Association 8-Ball World Championships in Las Vegas.

He even thinks that rough night in Chicago may help him some. This sport already has tested his nerves many times before.

“That’s why I don’t really get shook up over going and playing (in the world

championships),” he said.

Lathrom is 72 years old, and his risk of being assaulted before, during or after a game of pool has narrowed considerably. Women are allowed in pool halls and two of them, Ann Cop and Lathrom’s fiancee Inge Housworth, are on his team. Their team is the Sharp Shooters, and they advanced to the world championships after winning the Northeast Kansas APA 8-Ball Championships.

More than 800 teams from the United States, Canada and

Japan will be competing at the Las Vegas tournament.

Although their first match won’t be until 1 p.m. Vegas time on Tuesday, the Sharp Shooters — comprising Lathrom, Housworth and Cop, as well as Lathrom’s son, Garrett Lathrom, Jake Trieu, and John Robbins IV, all of Lawrence — will be packing up and heading to Vegas today.

They hope to leave their nerves behind.

When she and her father flew the Random House ($25) Here are the best-sellers for the week that ended Sunday, Aug. 7, compiled from nationwide data.

The rules and the

EXCEPTIONS OF I

’m a natural-born rule follower. If there’s a rule in place, it almost never occurs to me to ask why it’s there or whether it’s worth following; it’s a rule, so unless it’s a pile of ethical garbage, I’m probably going to follow it.

My preference for strong, clear guidelines in all things even bleeds over into my reading habits. I’ll often set rules for myself about what I can and can’t read. It’s one of the reasons I’m so drawn to reading challenges, which lay out the rules in no uncertain terms: read books about these topics in this order.

Ah, sweet, sweet order.

Some people would find this incredibly limiting, I know, but I find it tremendously freeing. I know my general preferences, my likes and dislikes, and so rather than spend lots of time trying to convince myself to enjoy a genre or style that just isn’t for me, I remind myself that Book X or Movie Y isn’t in the rules, and I steer myself toward the things that have a higher success rate.

But every rule has exceptions, and that’s what this post is about.

Rule No. 1: No audiobooks more than 12 hours long.

I resisted audiobooks for a long time, primarily because listening to them took me so much longer than just reading the book. I’m now a hardcore audiobook convert, but I’ve found that 10-12 hours is my threshold of enjoyment.

It doesn’t matter how much I’m loving the book or the performer; at about 12 hours, I’m ready to swear off books forever.

Sticking to that limit has led me to some pretty great shorter audiobooks.

Some of my favorites: l “The Crossover,” by Kwame Alexander (2.25 hours) l “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe,” by Benjamin Alire Sáenz (7.5 hours) l “A Monster Calls,”

by Patrick Ness (4 hours) l “Kill the Boy Band,”

by Goldy Moldavsky (7 hours) The Exception: “The Book of Strange New Things,” by Michel Faber (19.5 hours).

This sprawling novel follows a minister, Peter, who leaves his wife on earth to minister to an alien species living on a remote planet newly colonized by humans.

It’s a dense, sprawling, layered novel containing dozens of characters, and the audiobook performer brings them all beautifully to life — including the alien species, who learn to

speak English despite having no vocal chords.

Rule No. 2: No contemporary romances.

I’m a big romance reader, but I veer hard toward the historical side of things.

Whatever issues keep the protagonists apart are usually easier for me to accept in a historical setting than in a contemporary one. It’s the difference between “ooh, this is ripping my heart out, when are they going to kiss?” and “UGH, Big Issue Z isn’t THAT big a deal, just get over yourselves and make out.”

Here are four historicals that make me swoon:

The leads have a wonderful, sexy chemistry that builds up naturally and never descends into “We Cannot Be Together Because” syndrome, but it’s still as full of feelings as I like my romance to be. (This novel is so great it even redeems the odious “asked out on a bet” plot.)

READING

Rule No. 3: No mysteries.

I tend to care more about character than plot, so mysteries, which are often very plot-driven, are a hard sell for me. But my real problem with mysteries usually comes down to one of two things: kite she’d built by hand, he said — — Meredith Wiggins is a either 1) they’re way too Mass market KEEP UP THE reader’s services assistant at the easy to figure out, or 1.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Manipulative woman drains dad’s funds Dear Annie: My father is a widower in his late 80s and recently experienced a fire in his home that caused extensive damage. My brothers, my sisters and I discovered that he had canceled his home insurance some time before the fire because it was ‘‘too expensive.’’ It was necessary to move my father out of the house temporarily to make necessary repairs. Then we discovered there were other much-needed upgrades because my father had not been taking care of his home.

I have been helping with his finances and a necessary loan and discovered that he has been financially helping a woman in her 50s who used to live next door to him. She lives in another state but has been coming out during the winter months to stay with

him. When she stays with my dad, she usually locks herself away when family members visit.

I now know that in addition to paying for her flight here and all other expenses, he sends her home with signed checks she uses for cash, flowers and a storage unit. My dad also frequently mails her gifts. Over the past year, the amount has been in the thousands.

This woman is disabled but lives on her

An instant Hallmark classic?

Hallmark returns to formula with its newest series ‘‘Chesapeake Shores’’ (8 p.m., TVPG). Can you return to something you’ve never left?

The melodrama, based on a series of novels by Sherryl Woods, follows the narrative arc of the network’s millions of movies with near metronomic predictability. It opens with Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory) furiously multitasking at her highpowered Wall Street job. She’s sweating on a treadmill, organizing some mega-merger and quaffing some awful kale-based breakfast drink, seemingly all at the same time. And the time is barely past dawn.

She’s gorgeous, polished, ridiculously overscheduled and under the delusion that this makes for a full life. Her two beautiful daughters seem more attached to their nanny than to Abby. They measure their young lives by the events that their mommy has missed. Did I mention the nanny was quitting?

Something’s got to give. And if you live in Hallmark-land, you take an impromptu weekend trip to your picturesque hometown to visit Grandma Nell (Diane Ladd), a simple matriarch who spouts pious platitudes in an Irish brogue, cooks biscuits and fried chicken and manages to maintain a mansionlike property right out of a fancy magazine. Treat Williams stars as Abby’s handsome father, Mick, a man of few words who looks like a Kennedy and talks like a Baldwin. There’s a sad story about Abby’s missing mother and a shared concern for an unseen brother serving in Afghanistan.

Within seconds of her arrival in the postcard-perfect seashore town, Abby’s less-than-responsible sister, Jess (Laci J. Mailey), manages to involve her financier sister in her ‘‘investment,’’ a bed-and-breakfast money pit.

This includes a visit to the bank, where Abby encounters Trace (Jesse Metcalfe), the banker’s son who just happens to be her high school sweetheart. She left him, his crazy dreams of being a musician and unshaven handsomeness for Wall Street.

He’s the kind of guy who can be a small town banker, country music heartthrob and hammerwielding construction worker hunk whose best friend is his dog, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, no less.

Think she’ll come back for McStubbly? If you don’t, you’re watching the wrong network!

own near her parents.

I’ve talked to my dad about the situation, and he admitted that he’s been helping her for many years. She calls him daily and tells him that she couldn’t live without his help. He’s making plans to move her back to the house when the repairs are finished.

My brother has called her on two occasions and politely explained that though my dad cares for her, he is financially unable to send her money. Both times, she listened but then immediately called my dad to tell him that my brother was bullying her and that she couldn’t see my dad anymore. Each time, she then got another check.

My dad’s income is sufficient to make mortgage payments and keep up his house; however,

he cannot afford to continue supporting her. I think she is an emotional bully and taking advantage of my elderly dad, who is a nice guy and feels obligated to take care of her because of her disabilities. Any suggestions? — Defensive of Dad Dear Defensive: This woman sounds manipulative, all right.

But your dad can’t (or won’t) see it that way.

He clearly has strong feelings for her, whether driven by romantic love or an attachment to being the rescuer.

It’s nice to be needed.

As long as your father is of sound mind, he is entitled to make his own decisions, so your best option is to talk to him about making better ones.

SHARP SHOOTERS PLAYER JOHN TRIEU, OF LAWRENCE, WAITS ON DECK for his turn to shoot during a league play pool match on Tuesday at the Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St. Trieu and five other members of the Sharp Shooters will be traveling to Las Vegas to compete in the APA 8-Ball World Championships this week.

8-ball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1D

“You have to learn to adapt to it,” says Noble Lathrom, who believes keeping your nerves and emotions in check is as important as knocking down shots. “Each level adds a certain amount of pressure.”

The pregame jitters don’t seem to factor into the equation for success for some players, such as Garrett Lathrom, who says he has grown accustomed to shooting in the anchor spot for his team.

“Ultimately, it’s just another game to me,” he said.

Before the championship game of the Northeast Kansas 8-Ball tournament, which was played at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka on June 5, the younger Lathrom recalls noticing his opponent’s hands shaking before the match.

“That’s when I turned to our team and told them, ‘We’re going to Vegas because his nerves are going to get him,’” Garrett said.

“If I lose, I look at it like the other guy was better than me. If I win, I look at it like I was better,” he said.

To create a better team, the elder Lathrom regularly imparts his knowledge on the younger Sharp Shooter players as he says he always has to those wishing to learn the game.

“In this town, there’s probably 100 people that I’ve taught to play pool over the last 50 years,” he said.

On Tuesday night during a league game at Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St., John Trieu, the youngest player on the team, widened his stance before breaking several games into a match. In a quick and powerful motion, Trieu created a startling noise as he sent the cue ball flying off the back end of the table and crashing off the wall to the hardwood floor without touching a single ball in the rack. With Trieu noticeably frustrated, Lathrom walked over to settle him down.

When asked to divulge his advice, Lathrom said, “I told him, the other guy is shooting hard, so he’s trying to shoot hard, too. Slow down. You can make the ball just as good if you shoot easy. And he will.”

Heeding Lathrom’s advice, Trieu settled himself and worked through the next few games much more collected, defeating his opponent and awarding points to the Sharp Shooters.

Lathrom will be the first to explain that there are no hard and fast rules that govern every shot and decision once the balls are broken up, with the exception of maybe two. Control the cue ball and don’t shoot too hard.

Within the lexicon of American pool players is the term “banger,” which is considered a derogatory term for a player who wields a cue stick like a sledgehammer.

“If you can control the cue ball, you can win,” Lathrom said. “If you shoot it any harder than it takes to get to the pocket, you’ve shot it too hard.”

Squashing nerves and promoting smart pool play are the manageable aspects of keeping a tournament team competitive. Those can be difficult. So too can be not letting the drinking culture that has long surrounded the game derail your chances. However, erring on the side of being a realist, Noble Lathrom believes that imbibing judiciously isn’t necessarily a bad move.

“It depends,” Lathrom cautiously began to explain. “If you have a drink or two, to kinda calm down, and then stop, good. A lot of people can’t

“If you have a drink or two, to kinda calm down, and then stop, good. A lot of people can’t stop and pretty soon they can’t hit a ball anywhere.

I love to have a shot of tequila before I play. It mellows you out.”

— Noble Lathrom of the Sharp Shooters stop and pretty soon they can’t hit a ball anywhere.

I love to have a shot of tequila before I play. It mellows you out.”

On that note, for this year’s world championship run, Lathrom is stressing to his team is the importance of taking care of business first.

“If we win, then we’ll party,” he said.

Lathrom, Housworth and the rest of the Sharp Shooters have decided against bedding down at the Westgate Resort or within close proximity of the shining lights and other temptations along the Las Vegas strip. However, the whole team will be staying together under one roof.

“We rented a house through Airbnb,” Lathrom noted.

“One with a pool table,” Housworth added.
