helby Miller is a bit envious of her brother’s first name.

She is the firstborn of Doug and Kay Miller’s three children, yet brother Derby was given the name associated with the family’s passion for demolition derbies.

“Having a girl named Derby might not work,” Miller admitted. “People

call me Crash, anyway, especially at work.”

This year in Douglas County, she could be called Champ. Miller won the annual demolition derby July 30 at the Douglas County Fair, outlasting her secondplace finishing brother and becoming the first woman to win the crown.

Harry Klausen woke up twice on the morning of July 25: first in his bed before heading to work; then in an ambulance.

“I woke up and was like, ‘What am I doing here? I’ve got to get back to work,’” Klausen said.

Thousands of volts is what happened, Klausen said. The electricity traveled from a power source into his right hand, all through his body and completed the circuit by exiting through his left foot.

The cause: A boom truck lifting materials at the HERE Kansas construction site came too close to overhead power lines, LawrenceDouglas County Fire Medical Division Chief James King said in July.

The construction site, where apartments and retail shops are being built, is near the University of Kansas’ Memorial Stadium, just south of 11th Street between Indiana and Mississippi streets.

EARL ALLEN "AL" KELLEY Services for Earl Allen "Al" Kelley of Lawrence are pending and will be announced by Warren­ McElwain Mortuary. He died Saturday, August 13, 2016 in Lawrence.

BRIEFLY Topeka meeting with police, community ends abruptly A meeting between community members and Topeka police ended abruptly when participants yelled at the police chief.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports about 200 people attended the Friday meeting, which ended about halfway through the scheduled program.

Police Chief James Brown was interrupted as he read his remarks noting the police department’s efforts to engage with the community, touting community policing officers’ work and recent “coffee with a cop” events.

A man sitting at the back of the room laughed loudly and interjected comments as Brown spoke. A woman then also stood up and began yelling, while attendees asked her to calm down, and a man asked her to stop cursing.

A pastor appealed for calm, but finally announced the meeting ended when order couldn’t be restored.

Recovery

credited two people with saving his life: his foreman, who resuscitated him with CPR, and his father, who died years ago.

“My dad saved my life; he’s up there, probably told God, ‘Don’t take him, he’s still young,’” he said with a laugh.

Attempts to contact the foreman were unsuccessful.

At the time of the accident Klausen said he was working for Builders Stone and Masonry, of Olathe.

Brandon Becker, the company’s president, said Klausen has worked there for about three years. The company had been on-site for a year working on the building’s exterior.

“He’s pretty fortunate and pretty lucky,” Becker said. “We’re looking forward to him making a full recovery and returning to work.”

Becker said he has visited Klausen several times in the hospital. In addition, the company sent over a basket of treats to enjoy during recovery, Klausen said.

“He’s a good guy and he’s been a good worker,” Becker said.

“I said, ‘Ah boss, that’s nice, that’s nice,’” Klausen said.

On Thursday, Klausen said he took a crack at walking up and down the hospital’s hallway.

“It hurt just a little bit,” he said.

Klausen hopes to leave the hospital by Wednesday, and as soon as he’s ready he’d like to return to work. One step at a time.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Klausen said he was standing on the ground floor making cuts around a window sill.

“My hand was touching the truck,” he said.

“The operator got a little bit, but I got the most shocked.”

Klausen, 59, said he was quickly taken to a hospital in Topeka and then transferred to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan., where he has been recovering for about three weeks.

Klausen said he suffered third-degree burns to his body, largely concentrated on his extremities. Doctors also amputated the little toe on his left foot, which was severely damaged in the incident.

“They had to cut part of my foot too,” he added.

Despite that, Klausen’s spirits are high. He’s quick to joke and laugh.

“When the nurses came in and said I was getting my staples out I told them, ‘I’m going to chase you all down the hallway, you better watch out,’” he said.

“I can stand the pain, it just takes a long time to heal,” he said.

In 45 years of construction work Klausen said he’s only ever suffered minor injuries.

“That was a long time ago, with a different company,” he said. “Ankle roll, hurt your hand, normal life stuff. This is the first time I got shocked, and it’s crazy.”

Feeling lucky to be alive after the shock, Klausen

moved from the site.

“A vacant industrial building can get in pretty bad shape,” he said.

Hints of that condition remain in the unused portions of the building where spaghetti strands of unconnected wiring still hang from the ceiling.

The mostly untouched appearance of those spaces is in stark contrast to the bright classrooms and labs where students learn hands-on skills in the building trades, industrial engineering technology and heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Peaslee students also took welding classes at Lawrence High School and allied health or emergency medical services classes online and next door at the Lawrence College and Career Center.

In addition, Peaslee offers noncredit career courses in problem solving, workplace conflict resolution, financial literacy and career building free through the sponsorships of Emprise Bank, Hunt said.

Hugh Carter, chamber vice president of external affairs, said the first-year success was realized despite Peaslee opening on a shoestring budget of $1.2 million after an application for a $10 million U.S. Department of Labor grant wasn’t approved.

He and other Peaslee advocates have a longrange plan on how to build on the momentum of the first year and grow the tech center into a model nationwide, Carter said. That required seeking more money to take care of immediate needs from some of the same private sources that helped fund its opening, he said.

The fundraising effort was successful in procuring $50,000 for needed improvements to prepare for a new tenant the space at Peaslee that racing wheel manufacturer HiPer Technologies formerly leased. HiPer Tech moved out of the center when Weld Wheels purchased the company earlier this year.

Peaslee may be close to success on that front.

Hunt said the president of an East Coast company toured Peaslee last week, and he was “confident” a new lease holder soon would be found for the space. A new tenant would not only help Peaslee’s bottom line through lease payments, but also with utility and maintenance expenses, he said.

Carter said with that need addressed, additional money was being sought to make Peaslee’s air-conditioning unit more efficient, remove unused mechanical elements from the roof and complete other repairs.

A further step to putting Peaslee on sounder financial ground would involve asking the city and county to assume the note taken out for the building so the center

L awrence J ournal -W orld

The loss of HiPer Tech, along with a better understanding of true operational costs with the center’s opening, contributed to a request for additional financial support for 2017 from Douglas County and the city of Lawrence, said Marvin Hunt, director of the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center.

The city and county responded by approving $245,105 in funding for next year. could take advantage of better interest rates offered to local governments, Carter said.

None of those issues detract from Peaslee’s success in forging relationships with its classroom instruction providers, Hunt said. Neosho County Community College offers the allied health, HVAC, building trades and welding classes, Flint Hills Technical College of Emporia the industrial engineering technology classes, and Johnson County Community College provided refresher academic courses in biotechnology, writing and various math classes.

The partnership arrangements allow Peaslee to offer skills training locally by cherry-picking courses offered elsewhere in the state, Hunt said.

“We can contract with community colleges to come teach what we think is needed in the community,” he said. “It wasn’t just me (selecting classes). It was me and a lot of people. When I entered the picture in 2014, the chamber, EDC and a lot of industry partners were in discussions about what skills were needed. I selected the ones I thought would get the strongest response.”

The center successfully added another course during its first year with the introduction of the HVAC lab in January, Hunt said. That lab was made possible through a donation from Smitty Belcher, owner of P1 Group Inc. in Lawrence.

First-year enrollment numbers indicate Hunt was successful in identifying the right mix of skills training.

“We didn’t know how many students would respond before last August,” Hunt said.

“I thought before we opened, we would be a success if we had 100 students. We had 150.”

This year’s enrollment should easily top that.

“I had thought a good enrollment number would be 200,” he said.

“It looks like we could grow beyond that, maybe to the mid-200s.”

The student population has been diverse, Hunt said.

“We get 16- and 17-yearold high school students who walk over from the Lawrence (school district) College and Career Center in classes with a 70-year-old,” he said.

“The average age of our students is 31.”

Peaslee has attracted many nontraditional students looking for retraining after getting laid off or seeking better opportunities through a career change, Hunt said.

The highly motivated students help fill Peaslee’s labs for HVAC and

industrial engineering technology, which trains them in the maintenance of such things as threephase electrical motors, pneumatics, hydraulics and electronics.

“Some people don’t think that’s very sexy, but they can leave here and make very good money,” he said. “Companies place a great value on people who can keep products moving out the door.”

The goal is to add electrical, plumbing and auto mechanics, Carter and Hunt said. That will require another round of private fundraising, architectural designs, renovations and contracts for certified instruction.

The loss of HiPer Tech along with a better understanding of true operational costs with the center’s opening contributed to Hunt asking for additional financial support for 2017 from Douglas County and the city of Lawrence, Hunt said. The city and county responded by approving $245,105 in funding for next year.

Carter said Peaslee would continue to seek such funding from the city and county for several more years. The ultimate goal is to secure more dependable funding through a countywide economic development tax with some of the revenue dedicated to Peaslee, he said.

The additional city and county money is also to help with the expense of adding those programs.

“It would require a countywide vote,” he said.

“It’s not something that will be on the ballot anytime soon. It’s the ultimate solution for predictability and dependability.”

Few affected by court rulings voted in Kansas primary

A SEASON OF ABUNDANT RAINS HAS THIS VINLAND VALLEY CORNFIELD, SHOWN ON SATURDAY, LOOKING PROMISING a month before the fall harvest starts.

Record corn harvest forecast for Kansas

Wichita (ap) — A government report is forecasting record corn and soybean harvests in Kansas.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service reported Friday that it expects corn production

in the state of 660 million bushels. That is 14 percent higher than a year ago.

Anticipated soybean production of 164 million bushels will also set a record if realized. That is 11 percent higher than

a year ago.

The agency also estimated the sorghum harvest to come in at 244 million bushels, down 13 percent from a year ago.

Production of this year’s winter wheat crop is estimated at 462

million bushels, up 43 percent from last year’s crop. Record yields of 57 bushels per acre help offset the fewer wheat acres planted.

Alfalfa hay production is forecast at 2.58 million tons.

that Miller would get strapped behind the wheel of a derby car. What wasn’t so predictable was the joy it gives her.

“It’s so hard to explain,” she said. “Once you try it, you’re hooked. It’s an adrenaline rush. There’s more to it than you think.”

Her derby strategy is to be patient and take good shots, mostly with the rear of her car to avoid damage to her radiator or engine, Miller said.

The speed at which cars can go on the derby track depends on conditions — mud slows everyone down — and size, Miller said. The track at the Douglas County Fairgrounds is large, allowing drivers to get up to 30 mph before plowing into competitors.

“I’ve seen stars sometimes,” she said. “The worst ones are when you don’t see them coming.

I’ve never been hurt in a derby. We wear helmets.

You get hurt worse building the cars than driving them.”

Preparation is the key to a demolition derby, and Miller has a genetic edge in that area, too.

Her father once ran his own auto repair shop after taking it over from her grandfather. For this year’s fair, she made over a 1974 Pontiac Bonneville that had sat for years in a field of the family’s farmstead south of Lawrence.

“There were no floorboards in it,” she said. “They had rusted through. We had to weld pieces of metal in there so I didn’t fall through the floor. It was past restoring. It was going to the scrap yard anyway.”

The Pontiac was without the V-8 motor it had when it left the assembly line more than 40 years ago. That was OK, Shelby said, because she dropped into her winning entry a small-block Chevrolet V-8 and transmission of the kind the family runs in derby cars. She also had to switch out the drive shaft, which set her back $500.

IN THIS PHOTO FROM AUG. 3, 2012, SHELBY MILLER AND HER BROTHER DERBY sit on Shelby’s No. 22 demolition derby station wagon before the start of the Demolition Derby at the Douglas County Fair. It was the first year Derby would have been old enough to drive in the event.

“It’s not a hobby you can make money on,” she said. “Winning helps.”

Car preparation would normally take about one week of long hours, Miller said. However, her schedule has been full this summer, as she has been working a fulltime job at Bayer Animal Health in Shawnee and is completing her master’s in bioveterinary medicine at Kansas State University’s Olathe campus.

The need to complete her thesis prevented her from competing at this weekend’s Osage County Fair’s demolition derby in Overbrook, she said.

“My brother is a heavyequipment mechanic,” she said. “I’m a bit of an oddball with the biology (interest). I grew up on a farm with cattle and horses. It’s something I’m

passionate about. I’ve always done mechanic stuff on the side. I didn’t figure I could make a career out of that.”

Her father has moved on from auto repair, too.

He now works in maintenance at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. He competed in more than 100 derbies in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas after his older brother, Duane, introduced him to the sport, Doug Miller said.

“At the time I was working in auto repair,” he said. “Going out and crashing cars took out

my frustration on cars. I met a lot of nice people.”

Of the large 1970s and 1980s family cars that are sought for derbies, Doug Miller favored Chrysler Imperials and General Motors station wagons.

Although he never took one to a derby, another favorite car is one that looks good and goes fast.

“I named my daughter after Shelby Mustangs,” he said. “You wouldn’t enter one of them in a demolition derby, but they’re great cars.”

Wichita — Few of the 17,600 Kansas voters at the center of legal fights over the state’s proof of citizenship requirements actually cast ballots in the Aug. 2 primary.

Voting rights advocates won temporary court rulings in federal and state courts affirming the right to vote for people who registered at motor vehicle offices but never submitted citizenship documents.

Overall, statewide turnout was 23.1 percent, with 403,532 votes cast. The unofficial count for the primary shows 9,032 provisional ballots were cast; provisional ballots are typically given out when there is a question about voter eligibility, such as someone who voted in the wrong precinct.

And the Associated Press surveyed the state’s five biggest counties — Johnson, Sedgwick, Shawnee, Wyandotte and Douglas — that together accounted for 4,287 of those provisional ballots.

The AP found just 37 voters in those counties who cast ballots because of the court decisions.

But the Kansas Secretary of State’s office notes there won’t be a statewide number for how many of those were cast by voters affected by the rulings for another week or more because counties had until Thursday to canvass their provisional votes.

Kansas is embroiled in at least four lawsuits over a state law pushed by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, requiring people to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship — such as a birth certificate, passport or naturalization papers — to register to vote.

Federal law requires states to allow people to register at motor vehicle offices when they’re obtaining or renewing driver’s licenses. Ahead of the primary, about 17,600 people registered at motor vehicle offices without providing citizenship papers.

About 50,000 people could be affected in November.

In May, U.S. District

Judge Julie Robinson said people who register at motor vehicle offices are entitled to vote in federal races even if they’ve not met the proof-of-citizenship requirement.

And four days before the primary election, a Kansas judge temporarily blocked the state from throwing out such votes for state and local races.

His order will remain in effect through at least Sept. 21, and he may decide whether to extend it to the November election.

The judge, Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks, said of protecting people’s right to vote: “There is no right that is more precious in a free country.”

“That individual court decision was an extraordinary statement of principles of democracy and values of democracy,” said Marge Ahrens, copresident of the League of Women Voters in Kansas.

“And even if it didn’t make thousands of people run to vote, it was a reiteration of what we stand for — that frankly was heard all over the country.”

Shawnee County Election Commissioner Andrew Howell said his office has spent a lot of time and effort helping complete applications from people who registered without proof of citizenship. He said some have moved out of state and a few are “simply not interested in elections and voting at all.” Just three voters covered by the court decisions voted in the county.

To the southwest, Sedgwick County had 15 voters affected by the court decisions who voted.

Election Commissioner Tabitha Lehman said in an email that the federal court ruling caused “a couple hundred” extra work hours and required printing extra ballots and lists, but those costs were minimal.

“Quite honestly, it was more the unknown and trying to quickly change directions with 500-plus election workers that caused more worry and lack of sleep for me than actual work,” she said.

Once a bustling home to picnics, town of Shields disappearing

By Amy Bickel The Hutchinson News

Photos by Jesse Brothers/The Hutchinson News via AP

THIS JUNE 22 PHOTO SHOWS THE BARTLETT GRAIN COMPANY THAT WAS OPERATED as an independent grain elevator until the mid-1990’s in Shields, Kan. Homesteaders began settling around the Shields area in 1886.

THIS JUNE 22 PHOTO SHOWS COUNTING MACHINES for grain tickets in the old Wick family grain office.

Walter for several years, according to the historical society.

She farmed on her own for a time, too. The Lane County Journal in October 1897 said she shipped a carload of wheat of her own raising. The store also had a second story called the Tillotson Hall, where folks enjoyed plays and, eventually, movies.

Maggie Tillotson eventually closed the store when her son was drafted, according to the Lane County Museum, but more stores followed.

Around 1921, George Maddy and Eugene Terwilliger celebrated their grand opening by offering everyone who entered a free ice cream cone, followed by a band and a baseball game played in the afternoon, according to Ellen May Stanley’s book “Golden Age, Great Depression, and Dust Bowl.”

Shields even had a tennis court, along with a garage, restaurant and cooperative elevator. The Farmer’s State Bank was built in 1916.

It was small, but thriving in 1910. According to the book “Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History,” Shields had a population of 48 and several businesses — general stores, the post office and telegraph and express offices.

But the entire county, and its neighboring ones, it seemed, flocked to the Shields Picnic, which first started in 1920 and was a successful annual event — complete with band, carnival and other entertainment, according to the museum.

It was still going in 1931, and included boxing, and there also were baseball games and horse racing.

Yet by the 1930s, Shields was fighting the dust just like any western Kansas town — as well as poor crops and economy.

Residents also fought

fires, including one in 1935 that burned the Robinson elevator and the Davidson Mercantile.

The fire’s origin, according to Stanley’s book, was supposedly because of spontaneous combustion from the electric winds and dust.

The annual picnic eventually ended, most likely sometime in the 1930s, said June Wick.

She and her husband, Howard, were longtime Shields business owners.

Howard has memories of attending the event.

On a June afternoon, Brooks Wick pulled into the area where his family’s rundown grain elevators still stand — bins on each side of the road going into town. His father, Dan, was just down the road, cutting wheat.

Until the early 1990s, his family binned area farmers’ crops here.

Nowadays, the territory is taken up by a large cooperative.

Brooks’ grandmother June, 86, said the family operated the grain elevators for years. They sold fertilizer and ground corn, too.

But by 1992, her husband retired. The elevators weren’t in good shape for taking grain anymore, and their son was allergic to wheat dust.

“We had good customers and loyal customers,” she said.

In November 1994 the death knell sounded. The post office closed.

Today, the school still stands. So does the paint-stripped Methodist Church, which had its last service in the 1980s. Stewart’s store is gone. A few occupied houses remain.

Shields was declining when Tillotson’s family moved to the area in 1943.

The bank and a few other businesses had shuttered.

The picnics of the past

THE OLD WICK FAMILY GRAIN OFFICE has not been used in 20 years.

THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CLOSED in the early 1980s in Shields, Kan. that drew thousands had stopped years before then.

His father, Raymond, grew up here, went to college, got a master’s degree and worked for the Soil Conservation Service in the 1930s, moving his family around western Kansas. He eventually got the opportunity to take over the family farm from his father, Warren, moving his family back to Lane County.

Don went on to the University of Kansas medical school to follow another dream of becoming a doctor.

He recalled his first day of grade school at Shields, and how some of the boys in class had started a paper-wad fight while the teacher helped individual students with their work.

“He seemed like he ignored it completely,” Tillotson said of the teacher, but added at recess he stood at the outdoor steps of the school and grabbed each hooligan by the ear.

“He gave them a good shake,” he said, adding he doesn’t remember any other issues from the classroom after that.

Tillotson tried to stay

on the farm after going to college. But in the 1950s, there wasn’t enough income to support both himself and his parents.

“The thing that attracted me to medicine was I spent a lot of time as a kid being a doctor’s patient,” he said. “I had some health problems, and that led me to medicine as a career.”

Howard Lawrence, 78, a fourth-generation farmer whose ancestors homesteaded in Lane County, said he lived in the Shields area since he was two years old and attended the brick elementary school all eight years. His children

went to school there, too, and his son still farms and ranches in the area.

After school, many students would go to Stewart’s store for a pop while they waited for their parents to pick them up, he said.

He recalled people taking cream to the depot every evening to ship out.

For a long time, the mail came by train, too.

Largely what is left of Shields is memories.

“It is just the way things are,” Lawrence said. “People have to find a way to make a living. They go somewhere else.”

Shields, Kan. — From the photograph, a lively town was celebrating the summer of 1925 with an annual picnic.

It seems like the perfect Norman Rockwell setting: women wearing their Sunday dresses carrying an umbrella to obscure the sun; baseball players eating hot dogs and drinking soda at a concession stand, waiting for the game; a Ferris wheel filled with people, ready to spin. In the background a crowd watches a horse race.

The Hutchinson News reports that businesses across the county would shut down for the picnic, which drew thousands to the two-day affair that ended each night with fireworks lighting the sky.

However, this isn’t Shields, Kan., of today.

At 84, Dr. Don Tillotson recalls moving to town as a sixth-grader in 1943 — watching the trains go through Shields, heading west with tanks and troops during World War II. He still remembers hearing the artillery from the military airplanes practicing north of town at the gunnery range — even finding a belt of unspent 50-caliber shells in his family’s pasture.

For fun, they’d search for shark teeth in the family’s pastures, which was once part of the Great Inland Sea. They’d also frequent Stewart’s grocery and attended the local Methodist Church. Moreover, Shields grade school helped set the educational foundation for this future doctor.

It was never a big town, but it was a tight-knit community, said Tillotson from his home in Ulysses.

“It’s been a gradual deterioration from that time. It really is a wreck of a town now,” he said sadly.

Yet, several times a year, he comes back to check on the Lane County farmland — largely rolling pastures and canyons that the family still owns.

It’s where his greatgrandparents established their first homesteaded.

They even ran the general store for a while. It’s where his parents — Raymond and Amy — raised him, forging a life on the Lane County prairie.

“That farm is home to me,” he said. “It’s still a part of my life — very much so.”

People came to western Kansas from around the world, lured by free land.

Shields was no different. Homesteaders began settling around the Shields area in 1886 — building sod homes due to the scarcity of wood in these parts. Like many early pioneering communities, faith was important, and they soon established a Methodist Church on the land owned by pioneer John Smith. The church also served as a schoolhouse, according to the Lane County Museum.

But like many towns, life seemed to spring up with the railroad, and the Missouri Pacific came through in 1887. The town was named after nearby settler Richard Shields.

Shields’ brother-in-law, by the name of Wilson, was also an area settler and his name was given to the township.

Activity began to bustle. A post office opened in December 1887, according to the Kansas State Historical Society. Sam Allen opened the first store and more followed, including one established by the Wright family and another by John and Maggie Tillotson, according to the Lane County Museum.

John died not long after the store opened in 1897, and Maggie continued to operate it with her son

Confronting friend’s widow is a bad move Dear Annie: I am writing to get your input on an issue I am unable to resolve or forget.

Over 50 years ago, I began a friendship with a co-worker and his family that was close and personal. Despite job changes and relocations, we communicated regularly over the years.

Two years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer, which seemed to strengthen our friendship even more. After surgery and treatment, he called one day to say that his cancer was in total remission and that he was cancer-free. We were both elated. However, his news came just as my nephew and niece were both diagnosed with cancerous brain tumors. Consequently, I became much more occupied with their rapidly deteriorating situations.

Dear Annie

After three or four months of not talking to my friend, I called to see how his battle with cancer was progressing. His wife, who I thought was also my good friend, answered the phone. After a brief conversation, I asked to speak with my friend.

She then informed me, in a somewhat surprised voice, that he had died 2 1/2 months earlier. I was so absolutely shocked, stunned and hurt I could not say anything. I just

Looking back at ‘Lassie’ Who was TV’s top dog? A daylong salute to actor Roddy McDowall includes the 1943 family favorite ‘‘Lassie Come Home’’ (8:45 p.m., TCM) that marked the pop cultural ascent of a familiar collie, one of television’s most enduring stars.

Based on the novel by Eric Knight, ‘‘Lassie Come Home’’ was followed by six more films starring the same male canine ‘‘actor,’’ Pal. Pal and his descendants also ‘‘starred’’ on the ‘‘Lassie’’ television series. Pal died in 1958, but ‘‘Lassie’’ ran until 1973, making it one of the longest-lasting prime-time shows and characters in TV history, rivaled only by Frasier Crane from ‘‘Cheers’’ and ‘‘Frasier,’’ the gang from ‘‘Gunsmoke’’ and ‘‘The Simpsons.’’

A collie named ‘‘Laddie’’ even appeared on a 1997 episode of ‘‘The Simpsons’’ called ‘‘The Canine Mutiny.’’

Over the course of its long run, ‘‘Lassie’’ received two Emmys, including nominations for star June Lockhart, and featured, among others, Cloris Leachman. Lassie has appeared in any number of reboots, including the cartoon series ‘‘The New Adventures of Lassie,’’ which debuted in 2014.

O With the conventions in our rearview mirror and the Olympics dominating prime time, ‘‘American Experience’’ (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) continues its presidential profiles with ‘‘Jimmy Carter,’’ a documentary history from 2002.

By 1976, after more than a decade of assassinations, Vietnam and Watergate, Americans were ready for uncomplicated honesty. Carter, a former oneterm Georgia governor whose resume included the U.S. Naval Academy and a successful stint as a peanut farmer, seemed to fit the bill. ‘‘He offered us a biography we wanted to hear,’’ recalls historian Douglas Brinkley. ‘‘It was the right message at the right time.’’ ‘‘American Experience’’ recalls Carter’s upbringing in the still-segregated South and his early disgust with the political cronyism of Georgia Democrats. While it touches on his personal conversion to bornagain Christianity, this biography fails to deeply examine the political implications of his faith, or the religious and regional political shifts that were transforming American society in the 1970s.

Tonight’s other highlights

O The top eight perform

on ‘‘So You Think You Can Dance’’ (7 p.m., Fox, TV-PG).

O Grace’s trial becomes a tabloid feeding frenzy on ‘‘Guilt’’ (8 p.m., Freeform, TV-14).

Brain drain The loss of talent from Kansas will continue until the state acknowledges that its tax policies are hurting the economy

T

he steady loss of Kansas’ college graduates to other states is a bothersome trend that reinforces ongoing concerns about the state’s economy.

Last week, Board of Regents President and CEO Blake Flanders addressed the issue at a Board of Regents workshop in Wichita.

In 2014, 47 percent of the people who had earned bachelor’s degrees five years earlier were still employed in Kansas, Flanders said. That was down from 52 percent four years earlier. The trend is applicable at all levels of higher education, including those who earn certificates at a technical college, an associate’s degree at a community college, or a four-year bachelor’s degree from one of the six Regents universities.

Perhaps worse, only 45 percent of people earning master’s degrees and only one-third of those earning doctoral degrees were employed in Kansas in their first year after graduating, according to Board of Regents data.

Among the Board of Regents’ strategic goals is aligning the higher education system with the state’s economic needs. One measurement is the number of graduates who end up getting long-term employment in Kansas.

The question Regents had is whether the decline in graduates remaining in state is the result of a failure of higher education to align with the economic needs of the state or the opposite: the inability of the state’s economy to offer the job, income and quality-of-life opportunities today’s graduates are seeking.

Sadly, it seems the latter is more likely.

Population growth, wage growth and job growth in Kansas continue to lag well behind national averages. Business Insider, which ranks state economies, ranked Kansas in its bottom 10 at the end of 2015.

State Policy Reports’ Index of State Economic Momentum ranked Kansas 46th, just ahead of Oklahoma, earlier this year.

Simply put, there are better opportunities for college graduates elsewhere.

“There is a war for talent nationally,” Flanders said. “And so college graduates are in high demand, and they’re recruited by companies outside of this state.”

It’s good that the Regents are focused on fixing the trend, but the real solution to stopping the leak of Kansas’ college graduates rests with the folks in Topeka.

Until the state’s lawmakers admit that the tax policies in place now are hindering, not helping, the state’s economy, Kansas’ brain drain is likely to continue.

Shocking wave of murders in Mexico Mexico City — Most of Donald Trump’s statements about Mexico are the product of ignorance, racism and demagoguery, but the Republican candidate would be delighted to read the latest headlines in this country.

According to the news splashed across the front pages, the Mexican Association of Mayors is requesting urgent help from President Enrique Peña Nieto to stop a wave of killings of city mayors. At least five city mayors have been killed so far this year, for a total of 56 over the past 10 years, news reports say.

The overwhelming majority of these crimes remain unsolved, in line with an overall pattern of impunity for all crimes that are committed in Mexico.

A study by the Center for Impunity and Justice Studies of the University of the Americas in Puebla shows that Mexico has the secondhighest impunity rate — after Philippines — in the world.

Only 7 percent of the crimes that take place in Mexico are reported to authorities, and less than 1 percent of all criminals end up in jail, the CESIJ’S newly released “Index of Impunity in Mexico 2016” says.

Most Mexicans don’t even report crimes because they think it’s a waste of time, and because they don’t trust the police, polls show.

An old Mexican joke says

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

Most Mexicans don’t even report crimes because they think it’s a waste of time, and because they don’t trust the police, polls show.” that “if you are mugged on the street, don’t scream, because you may attract the police!” Often, the police shake down crime victims, as well as criminals.

Gerardo Rodriguez Sanchez, the co-author of the CESIJ’S impunity index, told me that most of the mayors’ killings take place in remote poverty-ridden areas that are known for their poppy seed plantations for heroin production.

There is virtually no presence of federal or state police forces nor judges in these rural towns. Drug traffickers there want to control local mayors, because it is the mayors who appoint the

only existing law enforcement officials.

But to put things in perspective, Mexico is far down the list of Latin America’s most violent countries, and many U.S. cities have higher murder rates than Mexico’s.

There are about a dozen Latin American and Caribbean countries with higher murder rates than Mexico. Honduras has an annual murder rate of 90 per 100,000 people. In Venezuela, the rate is 54 per 100,000, while in Belize it’s 45, in El Salvador it’s 41, and in Guatemala it’s 40. Brazil’s murder rate is 25 per 100,000 people. By comparison, Mexico’s annual murder rate is 21 per 100,000 people, according to United Nations figures.

And while the United States has a much lower overall homicide rate than Mexico’s, U.S. cities such as St. Louis, Detroit and New Orleans have murder rates that are roughly double those of Mexico, and about three times higher than those of Mexico City, according to FBI figures.

Law enforcement experts say Mexico’s obscene impunity rates are due in part among other things to police corruption, shortages of judges — the country has only four judges per 100,000 people, compared to 10 judges per 100,000 in the United States — and overcrowded prisons.

My opinion: Trump’s assertions about Mexico, such as his claim that most Mexican undocumented migrants in the United States are “criminals” and “rapists,” are preposterous. In fact, studies show that the percentage of serious crimes carried out by Mexican undocumented migrants is significantly lower than that of U.S.-born Americans.

And, as we saw above, Trump is also misrepresenting the facts when he singles out Mexico as more violent than most countries, as well as when he blames free trade with Mexico for most U.S. job losses. In fact, free trade with Mexico has produced more winners than losers on both sides, according to the Wilson Center.

But Trump’s wild claims aside, Mexico should seek international help to solve its impunity problem, much like Guatemala successfully did when it invited the United Nations’ International Commission against Impunity to help rebuild its disastrous law enforcement system.

The recent wave of murders of Mexican mayors suggests that Mexico’s drugrelated violence, which drew so much U.S. media attention a few years ago, has not slowed down, and that it must do something drastic to reduce it.

City’s action diminishes access to arts

By Susan Tate

In 1974, when Lawrence decided not to leave engagement in art up to the private sector or the marketplace, the Lawrence Arts Center and the City of Lawrence entered a collaboration to bring arts exhibitions, performance, and visual and performing arts education to the entire community. Our partnership eventually included the building at 940 New Hampshire, a gift to the city after private funds paid for half it. In 2000, we signed a lease agreement stating the minimum requirements of the partnership. We renewed the lease in 2012.

For both parties, the lease states minimum rather than maximum contribution to the collaboration, and its existence should not put the Lawrence Arts Center at a disadvantage when requesting city support. Yet, while honoring their legal, contractual commitments, city commissioners recently voted to diminish the 42year partnership that benefits our entire community.

Of our $3 million operating budget, the City had provided $140,000 for maintenance and financial aid, less than 5 percent of our total. This funding beyond the lease’s minimum requirement allowed us to operate with the spirit under which the Arts Center was found-

ed: that arts are for all of our families regardless of their ability to pay.

The recent $55,000 cut and the reco m m e n d a - Tate tion to cut this funding entirely in 2018 de-prioritize public access to the arts, which was the motivation behind the 1974 community vision.

Since moving into 940 New Hampshire, the Lawrence Arts Center has grown tremendously — supporting artists and their work at high levels, adding teaching artists, classes, community outreach, exhibition space, a kindergarten, free events and more. Also included in our costs are support for the Busker Fest and Art Tougeau, financial aid for anyone who otherwise could not afford visual or performing arts education, as well as facility use by community groups and artists at little or no cost. We have over 250 employees and contract artists and over 200,000 visitors each year.

City support for the Lawrence Arts Center has been an excellent investment for the entire city, and we leverage it to win grants from federal and private organizations. This year alone, we

have won grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Windgate Foundation, the Japan Foundation and the Hearst Foundation.

Since 2014, we have won over $1 million in grants to support the Free State Festival, the National Ceramics Conference, the city cultural plan, a Lawrencebased documentary about Langston Hughes, the East Ninth project, among others. Our marketing reach sells Lawrence around the world. The greater the city support, the more likely we are to continue to bring in outside funds based on our long-standing public and private partnership, funds immediately reinvested in the Lawrence community.

We have a strong business plan; however, we are not entirely market-driven.

In fact, though we work to increase revenue (art sales, tickets, tuitions), we strive to increase the percentage of our income that is not commerce-driven because we want to be a place of experimentation, challenge, joy, unexpected encounters and street parties, a place where people who cannot pay can take classes and use studios and theaters. As the CEO of the Lawrence Arts Center, my role is to seek funding to support artistic experience

— sometimes regardless of what the marketplace might support on its own.

Public funding makes this possible. The state of Kansas has defunded art; Lawrence has not, but the move to cut funding to our not-for-profit community arts center is a step toward privatization and diminished access.

City funding for maintaining this city-owned asset makes economic sense, especially as the building is now 15 years old and more fully and exuberantly used than ever.

We do not believe that success on the part of the Arts Center should mean discontinuing city funding for maintenance or financial aid.

Given what the arts mean to the identity and economy of Lawrence, we hope city leaders return to the visionary spirit of generations of commissioners who supported the creation of the Lawrence Arts Center and built this building. We urge city leaders to maintain their support now, learn about returns on their investment in the Lawrence Arts Center and develop a plan for the City’s role in ensuring the future viability of the Lawrence Arts Center as part of the citywide cultural plan we helped fund.

— Susan Tate is the CEO of the Lawrence Arts Center.

Young voters flee Trump in droves Susan Page and Fernanda Crescente USA TODAY

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is consolidating the support of the Millennials who fueled Bernie Sanders’ challenge during the primaries, a new USA TODAY/ Rock the Vote Poll finds, as Republican Donald Trump heads toward the worst showing among WASHINGTON

younger voters in modern American history.

The survey shows Clinton trouncing Trump 56%-20% among those under 35, though she has failed so far to generate the levels of enthusiasm Sanders did — and the high turnout that can signal — among Millennials.

“I get worried about the bigoted element of our country, and that they will stick with Trump regardless of his stupidity,” says Elizabeth Krueger, 31, an actress in New York City who was among those surveyed. She supports Clinton. “She is not going to be a perfect president, but who would be?”

SUMMER OLYMPICS

The findings have implications for politics long past the November election. If the trend continues, the Democratic Party will have scored double-digit victories among younger voters in three consecutive elections, the first time that has happened since such data became readily available in 1952. That could shape the political affiliations of the largest generation in American history for years to follow.

In the new survey, half of those under 35 say they identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party; just 20% identify with or lean toward the Republican Party. Seventeen percent are independents,

and another 12% either identify with another party or don’t know.

Trump’s weakness among younger voters is unprecedented, lower even than the 32% of the vote that the Gallup Organization calculates Richard Nixon received among 18- to 29-year-old voters in 1972, an era of youthful protests against the Vietnam War. In 2008 and 2012, overwhelm-

MICHAEL B. SMITH AND JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

MILWAUKEE Gov. Scott Walker activated the National Guard on Sunday to assist the Milwaukee Police Department upon request in the aftermath of violence in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood after a fatal police shooting.

Walker said he activated the guard after a request from Sheriff David Clarke and conferring with Mayor Tom Barrett and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar.

The development came as a sense of calm and order returned to the neighborhood Sunday morning after a night when businesses were torched, cars set ablaze and gunfire erupted following the fatal police shooting.

By midmorning Sunday, the area near North Sherman Boulevard and West Burleigh Street was clogged with onlookers, in cars and on foot, but the area soon swelled with people showing up to clean up trash from the unrest the night before.

In earlier statements, Milwaukee police said an officer shot and killed an armed man who was fleeing a traffic stop about 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The officer ordered the man to drop his gun, and when the man did not, the officer fired, wounding the man twice, once in the chest and once in the arm, Barrett said.

At a Sunday afternoon news conference, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn identified the man killed by the officer as Sylville K. Smith, 23.

Flynn said the officer was wearing a body camera that showed Smith was armed, and that Smith turned toward the officer with the gun after being told to drop the weapon.

Many parents still put babies in risky sleep environments Karina Shedrofsky USA TODAY

A study involving videos of slumbering infants found the vast majority of parents placed babies in unsafe sleep environments associated with an increased risk of death despite guidance from health care providers and public education campaigns.

The American Academy of Pediatrics report released Monday is the first to look at video recordings of parental behavior rather than relying on self-reported surveys or police reports after an infant’s death.

Researchers recorded infants for one night at ages 1, 3 and 6 months in family homes.

The videos revealed most parents placed children at risk by positioning infants on their sides or stomachs, using soft sleep surfaces or loose bedding, or sharing a bed with a parent.

Sleep-related infant deaths are the most common cause of death for babies between one month and one year of age, according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

Such deaths include sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed.

SAFE TO SLEEP® CAMPAIGN

This photo illustrates a safe sleep environment for a baby: sleeping on the back on a firm sleep surface.

More than 160 infants were enrolled in the study, though some dropped out before the sixmonth mark.

Across the three time periods, 10%-21% of babies were placed on a non-recommended sleep surface; 14%-33% were placed in non-recommended positions; and 87%-93% had potentially hazardous items on their sleep surface.

Risky items include loose blankets, stuffed animals, pillows and sleep positioners. Some of these items were found on the sleep surfaces the infants shared with a parent, but cribs also contained soft or loose bedding.

About 12%-28% of the infants changed sleep locations overnight. When moved in the middle of the night, the babies were often placed in an even riskier environment, such as sharing a bed with an adult.

Elizabeth Murray, a pediatrician at Golisano Children’s Hospital at the University of Rochester, said fatigue and exhaustion may play a role in parental decision-making if infants start the night in a safe sleep environment and are moved to an unsafe place. “The best thing you can do to show your baby you love them is to put the baby alone, and on its back,” she said.

In Turkey, a search for a path to normal Donatella Lorch

Special for USA TODAY

ANKARA , TURKEY

In Ankara, it’s impossible not to know you are in Turkey’s capital. Massive red and white Turkish flags float out from building facades and landmark towers. Smaller ones adorn apartment windows, buses and taxis. Some are draped across car hoods.

Since the failed coup attempt July 15, when rebel soldiers attacked Parliament by jet and tried to take over a bridge on the Bosphorus in Istanbul in an attempt to overthrow the government, every evening and late into the nights, tens of thousands of Turks have rallied in the center of its cities in government-backed pro-democracy rallies.

By far the largest show of Turkey’s post-coup unity was last weekend’s “Democracy and Martyr’s” rally in Istanbul, where the government claimed a crowd of 5 million people that included members of the opposition (though the Kurdish party was not invited).

For many Turks searching for a path into the normal, the looming question is how to transition beyond these rallies. Turkey is not only at a national crossroads but also navigating tense moments with its NATO

Turkish flags fly during a rally Aug. 7 to protest a failed coup attempt on July 15. The country is at a national and international crossroads. allies, especially the U.S. My daily life feels off kilter.

My cellphone provider has been sending me messages reminding me to attend my local democracy rally, and I have also been receiving messages from the police. “Do not believe persons who introduce themselves on the phone as the police, public prosecutor, soldier, and ask for money or gold by telling YOUR NAME WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COUP OR IN THE LIST OF COUP PLOTTERS.” These rallies have a purpose.

They seem to have united Turks

across a deeply divided political spectrum, bringing together Western-leaning Turks who in the past have shared little common ground with the conservative Sunni Islamicists and government supporters.

Immediately after the attempted coup, the government declared the coup leader to be Fethullah Gulen, a reclusive Islamic cleric living in Pennsylvania and a former ally of the present government, and accused him of creating a parallel state in Turkey.

The Turkish government has

asked the U.S. to extradite Gulen.

So far, the U.S. has said it has not received sufficient evidence for an extradition process.

The government declared a state of emergency and suspended many individual rights. Purges of Gulen followers began immediately.

More than 70,000 Turks have been suspended from their government jobs, including soldiers, policemen, judges, prosecutors, teachers, journalists, even prison guards and members of the religious directorate. Thousands have been imprisoned.

Gulen-funded schools and hospitals have been closed.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says he hopes parliament will approve the reinstatement of the death penalty.

The stress is palpable. It’s not hard to find someone who knows someone who was fired, arrested or imprisoned.

I’ve lived in Ankara for nine months, a period during which Turkey has become home to 3 million Syrian refugees.

It has also been fighting a war in its Southeast against Kurdish terrorists known as the PKK, and both the Islamic State and the PKK have used suicide bombers to kill scores in Ankara and Istanbul.

It has been a complex and anxious time for many Turks as Erdogan, their democratically elected president, has tightened his power base by surrounding himself with loyal allies.

Turks have a word for the country’s mood. They call it “huzun,” a form of constant, nervewracking melancholia.

In a vivid symbol of the new era, huge roadside billboards that used to advertise local shopping malls or new apartment complexes now trumpet inspirational sayings on Turkish flag backgrounds.

One says, “We are very beautiful together.” Another shows a flag-backed profile of President Erdogan: “Thank you, my Turkey.”

The Gallup analysis shows that as recently as 2000, younger voters split evenly between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, and the GOP’s presidential candidates carried their support by double digits in 1984 and 1988.

Now some younger Republicans, like their elders, are torn between concerns about Trump and support for their party.

“At first I supported Ben Carson, and when he dropped out, I was supporting Ted Cruz, and I wasn’t left with much when he left,” Serena Potter, 19, of Brownsburg, Ind., a student at Purdue University, said in a follow-up phone interview after being polled.

In latest incident, U.S. Olympian Ryan Lochte robbed at gunpoint Alan Gomez

Young supporters of Donald Trump at a rally Friday in Altoona, Pa. ries of forums across the country on the most important issues of 2016.

The online poll of 1,539 adults age 18-34 was taken by Ipsos Public Affairs from Aug. 5-10. It has a credibility interval, akin to the margin of error, of 4.6.

Census Bureau data released in April estimated the number of Millennials in the United States at 75.4 million, surpassing the 74.9 million members of the aging Baby Boom generation, now 51-69.

WILL THEY VOTE?

Clinton faced her own challenges with winning Millennials’ support. During the Democratic primaries, surveys of voters as they left polling places showed Sanders was preferred by voters under 30 by a yawning 71%-28%.

Now, she has succeeded in winning over most of his supporters. In the new poll, she is backed by 72% of those who say they had supported Sanders.

Eleven percent support Trump, and another 11% say they won’t vote. Six percent don’t know.

However, enthusiasm about the election has ebbed since the survey was taken in March, when Sanders was still a candidate. The percentage seen as most likely to vote has dipped to 72% from 76%, and those seen as not very likely to vote has ticked up to 9% from 7%.

“I started out as a Bernie supporter, but when he dropped out I switched to Clinton,” says Will Barkalow, 24, of Nobleboro, Maine, saying he saw “no other legitimate choice.” Barkalow, who is starting a tech-repair business, says he is now enthusiastic about supporting her: “She is very good on policy. She is very bad at giving speeches and interacting with people.”

Interestingly, young men are more likely to say sexism is a major reason for hostility toward Clinton: 42% of men compared with 37% of women. Women are a bit more likely to say sexism plays no role at all, 30% compared with 28%.

Jacob Vander Feer, 25, who works at a big-box store in Bozeman, Mont., calls sexism no more than a minor factor for Clinton.

“We have female Supreme Court judges, female senators, females in the House of Representatives,” he says. “It is more used as a stance that, if you don’t support Hillary, you are a sexist.”

dential nominee of a major party, Clinton does a bit better among young men (58%-22%) than she does among young women (53%17%). Women are somewhat more likely to say they won’t vote for either, 17% compared with 13% for men.

The Democratic National Convention provided a modest boost for Clinton among Millennials.

But the Republican National Convention was a catastrophe for Trump.

More than three of four of those surveyed paid at least some attention to the political conventions last month by watching them on live TV, reading posts on social media such as Twitter and Facebook or streaming speeches on YouTube.

They didn’t like what they saw at the GOP conclave in Cleveland.

At least 50% of those surveyed say Trump seemed less presidential, less credible and less trustworthy afterward. By more than 2-1, they say he seemed less human and less accessible. On each of five characteristics, Trump’s standing fell.

Clinton saw modest improvements in her standing after the convention in Philadelphia. By 39%-27%, she seemed more rather than less presidential, by 35%23% more human.

But while 31% say she seemed more trustworthy, an equal 31% say she seemed less trustworthy, a sign of how stubborn that perception has proved to be.

RIO DE JANEIRO Immediately after celebrating the news that their daughter was named to Australia’s Olympic synchronized swimming team, Andrew and Leisel Rogers started to panic.

Taking the family to root on Emily Rogers, 18, meant two weeks in Brazil, a country they’d never been to and only understood from the horrific headlines of muggings, murders and Zika.

They bought underwear lined with pockets to hide their money.

They watched what they packed to make sure they weren’t bringing jewelry or anything too flashy.

And while they haven’t been assaulted or robbed in Rio, the almost-daily reports of Olympians and foreign delegations being victimized has made clear why Brazil has long struggled to change how foreigners view the country.

“It’s on a lot of people’s buckets lists, but it’s not easy, is it?” said Andrew Rogers, 49, an air-traffic controller, as he strolled along Copacabana Beach on Saturday night.

American Olympic champion swimmer Ryan Lochte became the latest victim of Rio’s street crime early Sunday morning when he was robbed at gunpoint after attending a party. That follows robberies of representatives from Portugal, China, Australia, Russia and even an attempted mugging on the chief of security for the Games outside the opening ceremony, which ended with a bodyguard shooting and killing the assailant.

To counter that narrative, there’s been an overwhelming police presence around the Olympic venues and in tourist-heavy destinations like Ipanema Beach.

To Brazilians, the picture painted of their country by foreigners is unfair.

Luciano Lewis, 22, said he was stunned when he watched an episode of The Simpsons where Homer and the family travel to Brazil.

“It was all a jungle and monkeys running around,” he said.

“That’s like saying that in the U.S. you only have fat people because of the fast food. It’s not true, but the image remains.”

Rain abates in Louisiana, but flooding still a crisis

Youngsville, La., city officials patrol neighborhoods in dump trucks Sunday to assist residents in flooded areas.

More than 20,000 rescued after 25 inches falls in some areas

Greg Hilburn and John Bacon USA TODAY Network

MONROE , LA . Rescue efforts intensified Sunday as historic rain that paralyzed much of southeastern Louisiana eased, while floodwaters continued to bring havoc to the battered region.

State Police helicopters delivered food and water to hundreds of motorists stuck for more than 24 hours in flooding near Baton Rouge.

Four people were killed, and Gov. John Bel Edwards said Sunday night that more than 10,000

people were in shelters and more than 20,000 had been rescued.

The governor said the Baton Rouge River Center, a major events location in the capital city’s downtown, was to be opened as a shelter to handle the large numbers of evacuees.

Parts of the area have been blasted by up to 25 inches of rain since Friday. The weather improved Sunday, but Edwards warned that flooding problems will continue for days.

“This is a serious event, ongoing,” Edwards said earlier Sunday.

“It’s not over.”

were setting flood records. Jeff Gaschel, a hydrologist for the National Weather Service, said some parts of the Amite won’t crest until Monday. He said the area had similar rainfall amounts in 2001, but over a longer period of time.

The weather was improving, with forecasts calling only for occasional pop-up storms that are common in Louisiana this time of year, he said.

“We are not in control as far as how fast these floodwaters will recede, and in fact they are still going up in some places,” Edwards said. He urged residents not to venture out just because

the sun did. “We are asking everyone to be patient,” he said.

Edwards, who was forced to flee the governor’s mansion with his family because of flooding, said he sought a federal disaster declaration to expedite assistance to families and businesses.

“The simple fact is we are breaking records,” Edwards said.

Ochsner Medical Center Baton Rouge said it was transferring about 40 patients, most of them critically ill, to other Ochsner facilities as a precautionary measure “to ensure ongoing continuity of care.”

Some motorists were stranded for more than 24 hours. Boats were unable to provide rescues because of areas of dry land, and state troopers were on the ground to aid those stranded, said Col. Michael Edmonson, the state police superintendent.

Dominique Dugas of Lafayette and her family were rescued Sunday — her 29th birthday. She said they were heading to a funeral in Slidell on Saturday morning when they became stranded on Interstate 12. Dugas said in a phone interview with USA TODAY Network that her family walked to a convenience store and rode a school bus to a shelter.

“We saw the helicopters landing just as we got on the bus,” she said. “It wasn’t as bad a birthday as you might think. I had my family, and we were able to help some people.”

Edmonson said troopers were rescuing those with medical conditions first.

“We have to address life and death situations first before quality of life,” he said Sunday.

About 1,700 National Guard troops have been mobilized, with more on the way. State Transportation Secretary Shawn Wilson said more than 200 roads were closed.

More than 5,000 people spent Saturday night in Red Cross shelters, some on floors because of a shortage of cots.

State government offices in 27 southern Louisiana parishes will be closed Monday, State Commissioner of Administration Jay Dardenne said.

The Coast Guard said it had rescued numerous people from rooftops, automobiles and trailers.

U.S.-backed fighters liberated a strategic Syrian city from the Islamic State over the weekend, bringing the rebels a step closer to the terrorist group’s de facto capital of Raqqa and cutting off a route used by the militants.

Joyous residents of Manbij poured into the streets as the opposition forces continued to mop up pockets of resistance after weeks of intensive fighting and coalition bombing.

Men shaved their beards, and women could walk outside without face coverings for the first time in years, according to videos posted from the war-torn city.

The Pentagon confirmed that the city was mostly in the hands of the coalition-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

American officers have said the battle was a key test for the more critical fight to drive the Islamic State from Raqqa.

Manbij was the main processing center for foreign fighters coming into the city to join the Islamic State and also a place where terrorists were sent to carry out operations outside the region.

“Manbij was a node that the enemy (used) for foreign fighter training and facilitation for external operations … outside of Iraq and Syria,” Army Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland said last week in a briefing from Baghdad.

U.S. intelligence officials are analyzing thousands of items captured as Islamic State militants were fleeing the city in recent weeks, detailing the movement of foreign fighters in and out of the country, the Pentagon has said.

The battle for the city, which lasted several months, was also a test for the newly formed Syrian Democratic Forces, a collection of Kurdish and Arab forces organized to battle the Islamic State.

The force is being advised by U.S. Special Operations Forces and supported by coalition airstrikes.

The battle in Manbij will “set

Syrians sit in a cart in the northern town of Manbij as civilians go back to their homes Sunday, more than a week after the Arab-Kurdish alliance pushed the Islamic State out of the city.

the stage for the eventual attack to seize Raqqa and that will mark the beginning of the end” for the Islamic State in Syria, MacFarland said.

Opposition forces in Syria have captured about 20% of the territory controlled by the Islamic State at its peak last year.

Progress has been faster in neighboring Iraq, where Iraqi forces have retaken at least 45% of the territory held by the Islamic State.

Earlier this year, the White House authorized the Pentagon to send several hundred additional U.S. personnel to help organize and advise the opposition forces in Syria.

It’s beginning to pay off. In Manbij, Syrian opposition forces prevailed over a committed enemy who weren’t afraid to die and built elaborate defenses around

the city.

“There are a lot of foreign fighters there and they haven’t cut and run, at least not many of them,” MacFarland said in describing last week’s fighting in Manbij. “They’re fighting pretty hard in that city.”

The lessons learned in Manbij will help the opposition forces as they train and plan operations to drive the Islamic State from Raqqa, about 70 miles southeast of Manbij.

Air Force Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, who commands U.S. air forces in the Middle East, said the U.S.-led coalition plans to attack Raqqa at the same time as Iraqi forces launch operations to liberate Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, from Islamic State control.

Any ground assaults on the cities are still months away, but Iraqi and Kurdish regional forces are moving into position to isolate the city in preparation for a battle to retake Mosul.

Forces aligned with the Kurdish regional government said Sunday in a statement that they have retaken five villages east of Mosul. Iraqi government forces have been closing in on the city from the south.

BRITISH TO PAY FOR SOME EU PROJECTS UNTIL 2020 Despite the Brexit vote passing in June, the British government will continue to pay for European Union-funded agriculture, infrastructure and science projects until 2020 if the country pulls out of the EU before then, the Associated Press reports.

Philip Hammond, chief of the British Treasury, said he made the announcement as British scientists, farmers and other organizations “want reassurance about the flow of funding they will receive.” The guarantee would cost taxpayers about 4.5 billion pounds ($5.8 billion) a year. It will take at least two years, if not more, before a Brexit is finalized.

Approval applies to cars in Europe in the affected engine category, 1.2-liter TDI engines. Fixes on 2-liter TDI engines began earlier this year.

The latest approval raises the number of cars ready for repair to over 5 million, Reuters reported. About 475,000 2-liter diesel cars in the U.S. were rigged with faulty software.

Traders get chummy at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday. A low reading on the VIX signals that investors expect calm.

‘FEAR GAUGE’ SENT TUMBLING AS STOCK MARKET HITS HIGHS Wall Street is feeling confident despite some investors’ warnings

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn says the stock market — which posted its ninth record high of 2016 on Thursday — is a “mirage.” Influential bond investor Jeff Gundlach of Doubleline Capital says: “Sell everything.” Bill Gross, the current Janus fixed-income fund manager that once ran the world’s biggest bond fund at PIMCO, recently wrote: “I don’t like bonds. I don’t like most stocks.”

Despite the warnings from high-profile investors — often dubbed the smart money — fear is nowhere in sight on Wall Street, according to a closely watched Wall Street “fear gauge” that tumbled last week to a fresh 52-week low and not far from record-low fear levels in December 1993.

As fear was retreating, the U.S. stock market was climbing to an all-time high, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index, Dow Jones industrial average and Nasdaq all registering record highs Thursday, the first time that’s happened since 1999.

They come here for rare access to opportunity in the form of free after-school tutoring, college preparation courses, music and arts lessons, health and wellness education programs and the hardwood that such NBA greats as Gary Payton and Jason Kidd once played on.

corridor that stretches between San Francisco and San Jose, has come under broad criticism that its outreach efforts have overlooked Oakland, a diverse city across the Bay where African Americans and Latinos make up more than half of residents.

No critic has been more vocal than Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader who has led the campaign for Silicon Valley to hire more African Americans and Latinos, two groups sharply underrepresented in Silicon Valley tech companies.

His advocacy led to Intel forming a five-year partnership with the Oakland Unified School District designed to touch the lives of 2,300 students and graduate 600 students in computer science and engineering programs at two high schools.

Low-income youths in East Oakland are among “the most technologically disconnected demographic groups in the United States,” Jackson says. Four out of 10 students in Oakland public schools do not have access to a computer at home, and Jackson estimates 70% of the students at her center do not have a computer at home with parents relying instead on smartphones.

Hidden travel fees: More people need to ask ‘why’ Bill raises questions that the industry can’t answer

How my passion for flight took wing John Cox

Christopher Elliott

Special for USA TODAY

Special for USA TODAY

The Forbid Airlines from Imposing Ridiculous (FAIR) Fees Act introduced recently is a subversive new law that raises more questions than it answers.

And while the bill may be grounded for now — it was shelved during a congressional skirmish over funding the Federal Aviation Administration — the FAIR Fees Act is still sending ripples across the travel industry because of its thought-provoking nature.

Simply put, it makes passengers ask, “Why?” Why do airlines charge confiscatory ticket change fees?

“Why” is a provocative but necessary question during this summer travel season, whether it’s ticket charges, hotel fees or car rental extras. The travel industry doesn’t want you to ask “why” because it’s afraid of the answer. It should be.

The FAIR Fees Act, introduced

by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., would have prohibited airlines from imposing fees that are “unreasonable or disproportional to the costs incurred by the air carrier” — specifically, change or cancellation fees and checked baggage fees. It also set federal standards for establishing a reasonable fee.

Senate Republicans scoffed at the idea of setting a reasonable standard, claiming that in a highly competitive, deregulated industry, an airline could charge any fee the free market will bear.

(Of course, the airline industry is neither competitive nor deregulated. If it were, we’d have more than four major airlines and planes could be falling out of the sky for lack of safety rules.)

It was too late. Markey had planted the seeds of doubt in passengers. He’d made us ask why airlines make you pay $200 change fees for tickets, when it involves nothing more than a few keystrokes by a reservations agent. Why, for that matter, does it cost the same to check a bag from Boston to New York as it does from Boston to Seattle?

“It’s revenue optimization,” ex-

plains Scott Wainner, chief executive of Fareness, a new airfare search app that finds the lowestcost travel dates. “The airlines have become very good at extracting every dollar from consumers by keeping travelers in the dark with hundreds of optimizations and fare rules that maximize the carriers’ revenue.”

In other words, airlines create these nonsense rules because they help them make money. But please don’t ask them to explain themselves, because they can’t.

This twisted airline logic is infectious. Just try booking a prepaid hotel room and then making a change. At best, you’ll be charged a one-night penalty, even if the hotel can resell the room; at worst, the property will just pocket all of your money.

“Hotels are incredibly restrictive, and even the saddest of sob stories will not garner a single penny,” says Ivy Chou, a frequent

For example, at Charleston's historic 1827 Bed & Breakfast, cancellations made up to seven days prior to arrival are eligible for the refund of deposit paid, minus a modest $25 cancellation fee. uA better grace period for your wheels. Among the major car rental chains, Fox Rent a Car has one of the most forgiving. There's a 59-minute grace period for return, compared with none for some of its competitors.

“That happened to me when I booked three non-refundable hotel rooms and tried to push the reservation later by just one day.

Even though I tried changing my dates five months prior to our travel dates, there was absolutely nothing I could do to prevent them from billing me for these rooms.”

But why? Hotel insiders say they offer discounts on their rooms in exchange for more restrictive terms, like the room being non-refundable. They charge one-night penalties because of the missed opportunity to sell the room to another guest. These rea-

sons seem flimsy, though, when you consider the fact that the discounts aren’t always that good and that rooms are often rebooked. It just looks like exactly what it is — a money grab.

Car rental companies do the same thing. Return your vehicle a few minutes late and you could be charged a full day, often calculated at a higher rate than the one you paid. Why? Because they can.

And for truly a truly devious policy, try this on for size: I’ve heard from car rental customers who returned their vehicle early and were charged extra. That’s no mistake. They rented for less time but paid more than they expected. The reason: They’d booked a cheaper weekend rate, so returning it early meant the car rental agency recalculated their price based on a daily rate.

It’s nonsense.

The question isn’t just why, although laws such as the FAIR Fees Act are useful because they make you ask. It’s why do we let them get away with it?

Part of the reason is that travelers don’t really have a choice.

Competition has been squeezed out of the domestic airline industry, thanks to mergers and anticompetitive code share agreements.

But in the end, the responsibility is yours — and mine. We let this happen by acquiescing to these ridiculous rules and by electing representatives who weren’t willing to stand up to the industry. But it doesn’t have to continue.

Q: How did you feel on your first flight?

— Shuvam Sinha, Mumbai, India A: My first flight was in a DC-6 in the 1960s. I was amazed at the sights from the air. It furthered my desire to be a pilot. I remember it clearly even though it was well over 50 years ago. It made quite an impression on me.

Q: What thoughts and feelings did you experience when you were given command of your first commercial flight?

— Tony, Stockton, Calif.

A: It was in April of 1984. I was very happy, as it was the conclusion of years of work and training. Piedmont Airlines had prepared me for the upgrade to captain, and I was confident of my ability to do the job. It was a great day!

Thanks for the question. I had not thought about that day in a long time.

Q: Did you always have a love of planes?

— E. Jaffe, Silver Spring, Md. A: Yes, as a child I was fascinated by the airplanes that flew over my family’s house as they approached the local airport. I wanted to fly from a very young age and was lucky enough to be able to live that dream.

Q: Hi Captain Cox. Did you enjoy and do you miss the days pre-9/11 when you could give young fliers tours of the cockpit?

— Jim, Buffalo A: I enjoyed young passengers visiting the flight deck. It reminded me of my childhood and seeing the flight deck of DC-6s. I miss that opportunity to help a child consider growing up to be a pilot.

Q: Not a question, but a story about a retired airline pilot who had obviously enjoyed his career as much as you have. After he had given a talk to some young children, one boy said, “When I grow up I want to be a pilot!” The retired captain responded, “Well, you’ll have to decide which.”

— Biggles, Calif.

A: I’m glad to know of another pilot who has enjoyed their career as much as I have, plus has a good sense of humor.

Hotels opening the door to keyless entry Nancy Trejos @nancytrejos USA TODAY

Hotel companies are starting to conclude that guestroom key cards are no longer the key to customer satisfaction.

The largest hotel companies in the world are now experimenting with technology that allows guests to use their smartphones to open the doors to their rooms, bypassing the front desk upon arrival.

Many of the hotels require guests to become members of their loyalty programs in order to use keyless entry. The functionality is also tied to mobile check-in on the hotel’s app.

“Digital key is revolutionary,” says Joshua Sloser, vice president of digital product innovation at Hilton Worldwide. “It improves their stay and it improves their arrival.”

Hilton marked the one-year anniversary of Digital Key last week by announcing that the program will go global, beginning at properties in Singapore, then expanding to other countries next year. Since the program’s launch, Hilton says Digital Key has opened 2 million doors at 400 hotels.

Starwood Hotels and Resorts first began piloting its SPG Key-

less program at 10 hotels in November 2014. Since then, keyless entry has been available at Starwood lifestyle brands including Aloft, Element and W. The program is now in place at 172 properties, and more than 350,000 members have registered. Earlier this summer, the company announced that it will expand the program to select Le Meridien, Westin, Sheraton and Four Points properties around the world.

Marriott International, which is in the process of purchasing Starwood, began testing mobile key at select properties last year.

Mobile key is available at 17 Marriott Hotels and across the new Moxy brand in the U.S. Additional rollouts, including international properties, are planned for this year.

Choice Hotels has a keyless entry pilot program going on at the Cambria Hotel and Suites Rockville, Md. And InterContinental Hotels Group is also piloting keyless entry at select properties.

Even smaller boutique or lifestyle hotel chains are going keyless. Arlo Hotels, a new brand of hotels launching this fall in New York City, has plans to offer guests keyless entry shortly after its opening. The first two properties, Arlo Hudson Square and Arlo NoMad, will integrate the technology in an effort to en-

Hotel companies are trying to appeal to younger travelers.

hance the guest experience and drive efficiency.

Hotel executives say keyless entry solves a major complaint among frequent travelers: having to stand in line to collect their keys. But guests will still have the

option of interacting with employees if they so choose.

“We want to give our guests the choice and control,” Sloser says.

To that end, Hilton and other hotel companies are combining keyless entry with other functionalities on their mobile apps.

For instance, Hilton HHonors members who use digital checkin can select their exact rooms through interactive digital floor plans.

Hilton has also partnered with Google maps to allow guests to determine what kind of view they

will get from a particular room.

Hilton says that digital checkin with room selection is used more than 1 million times per month.

Hotel companies say they will continue to improve on their programs. For instance, Starwood and Hilton both plan on letting multiple guests staying in the same room use their smartphones as keys, rather than the one loyalty program member who reserves the room.

To some extent, the hotel companies are trying to appeal to younger travelers, particularly Millennials in their 20s and early 30s who tend to be more tech-savvy.

Carlson Rezidor is offering keyless entry at its new Radisson RED brand through its mobile app. The brand is “aimed at the ageless Millennial-minded guest,” spokesman Ben Gardeen says.

While hotels are embracing the idea, some say it’s not necessarily the right solution for all.

“While we are finding that mobile keys are helpful for some guests, they’re not the solution for all,” says Jeff Bzdawka, senior vice president of global hotel operations for Hyatt Hotels. “In fact, we know that mobile keys aren’t ideal for traveling families, particularly with young ones prone to dropping phones in the pool.”

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Taraji P. Henson admits she’s not mathematically or scientifically wired like her real-life character in the film Hidden Figures.

So the teacher who gave her an F in pre-calculus back in the day may be surprised the Empire star is playing unsung heroine Katherine Johnson.

“All the science jargon is a bit overwhelming,” Henson says, laughing. “I look up the terms and I still don’t know what they mean, just like I didn’t know what they meant when I was in high school.”

Directed by Theodore Melfi (St. Vincent), Hidden Figures (in theaters Jan. 13) takes audiences back to the early 1960s to look at a group of female African-American mathematicians at NASA who were America’s secret weapons in staying competitive in the space race. Johnson was key not only in helping astronaut John Glenn (Glen Powell) blast off for his historic 1962 mission to orbit Earth but also bringing him home safe.

Johnson, Mary Jackson (Grammy nominee Janelle Mo-

Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer, above) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) share the burden.

náe) and Dorothy Vaughan (Oscar winner Octavia Spencer), who headed up the group of mathematicians at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., all had to battle racial and gender inequality. In one scene in the film, Johnson has to run to the other side of the campus to use

the colored bathrooms. Yet white men such as Glenn and NASA head honcho Al Harrison (Kevin Costner) see what she can do with numbers and trust her with their mission.

“NASA didn’t give a crap what gender you were or what race you were,” Melfi says. “If you could do the math, you were valuable.”

Johnson is a genius with “a mind like John Nash or Stephen Hawking,” the director adds. “She thinks beyond numbers, past numbers, through numbers.”

Spencer’s Vaughan is mechani-

cally inclined and fights for a supervisor title, while Jackson, the first female engineer at NASA, is the youngest of the three and wants justice for her and her co-workers.

Monáe describes her as a sexy, stylish “firecracker” who doesn’t bite her tongue. “There are times when the other two ladies have to stop her from voicing her opinion. But they love her for that.”

These women who carpool to work every day have “a beautiful sisterhood,” Spencer says. “They all have kids, they all have lives beyond NASA, and so it’s interesting to see how they all relate to each other.”

And more so than the racial importance, Spencer says the story needs to be told “because it’s factual,” she says, and inspiring to girls of all shapes, sizes and colors.

“We don’t really hit people over the head with the history of racism. We know that story,” Henson adds. Hidden Figures instead is about “how to work through it and rise above it as humanity.”

The actress believes people will be surprised that it’s not boring. “Science and math, you think, ‘Oh, this is going to be a snooze fest.’ But it’s a really fastpaced film,” says Henson, a fan of historical period pieces.

“It’s very intriguing to me to go back to a time when I wasn’t born and bring it back to life. I’m a geek like that, but don’t give me numbers please.”

The hot dogs of the animated comedy Sausage Party cooked up a sizzling debut yet ultimately were shot down by the bad guys.

Suicide Squad, the latest in the DC Films series, was No. 1 for a second straight weekend with $43.8 million, according to studio estimates from comScore. It’s good news and bad news for the film: That’s a brutal 67% drop from its August-record $133.7 million opening, but the 10-day domestic total is $222.9 million for the supervillain-centric affair.

Even with the diminishing returns and poor reviews, Squad has made $465.4 million globally and should be considered a success, says comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “It

Sausage Party, an R-rated raunch-fest featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig and others as food products, racked up $33.6 million to land at No. 2.

It managed a B Cinemascore from audiences, but critics ap-

proved — Party is rocking an 82% approval rating on the review site RottenTomatoes.com.

“Early on, everybody was marginalizing this movie because it looks like this frivolous ... concept, but audiences love original content if it’s packaged the right way and if it’s truly funny,” Dergarabedian says.

In third was the Disney remake Pete’s Dragon, starring Bryce Dallas Howard as a forest ranger who takes in a boy (Oakes Fegley) whose best friend is a giant green dragon. Its $21.5 million debut is the latest in a string of live-action kid-friendly movies that have struggled at the box office.

The Matt Damon action movie Jason Bourne ran its domestic total to $126.8 million with a $13.6 million weekend — good enough for fourth place. Rounding out the top five is the comedy Bad Moms with $11.5 million.

The only other major movie out this week, Florence Foster Jenkins, starring Meryl Streep as a 1940s New York socialite with dreams of being an opera singer, earned $6.6 million. In limited release, the Western heist film Hell or High Water — brandishing Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and an astounding 99% on Rotten Tomatoes — rode tall in 32 theaters with $592,000, an $18,500per-screen average. “It certainly made its presence known,” Dergarabedian says.

Final figures are out Monday.

Turnover battle is focus of KU football

BIG 12 CONFERENCE

Eye on expansion

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Each player and coach within the Kansas football program goes to work every day with the common endeavor of leading the Jayhawks out of an era defined by overmatched rosters and losing seasons.

As second-year head coach David Beaty keeps chipping away at that daunting venture, he and his staff try to help players identify optimal plans of attack.

Few occurrences on the football Beaty field can help accelerate an overhaul more than big plays, and unless you’re talking touchdowns, nothing swings a result quite like a turnover.

So as the Jayhawks plug away through August practices and video reviews, refining plays and trying to jell, they often hear reminders on the importance of protecting the football on offense and creating takeaways on defense.

A year ago, when KU finished 0-12, joining Central Florida as the only Division I programs to do so in 2015, the Jayhawks finished tied for 105th nationally in turnover margin — minus-seven on the season.

In total, Kansas recovered nine fumbles and intercepted nine passes. KU’s opponents had 11 fumble recoveries and picked off 14 throws.

As a way to overcome that deficit and produce more desirable results this fall, Beaty implemented a daily takeaway competition at preseason practices.

It’s offense versus defense, and the defenders begin at a disadvantage, with Beaty and his offense at plus-two on the scoreboard when the turnover contest begins. Every time the defense comes up with a fumble recovery or interception, the offense loses a point. KU’s defensive players attempt to put their counterparts in a deficit before the end of practice and the losing side has to run gassers — sprints across the width of the field and back.

The way KU senior cornerback Brandon Stewart talks, the defense doesn’t mind the uphill climb toward winning the competition.

“We just have drills at practice where we practice taking the ball away,” Stewart said. “We just do a little circuit and by the time we

than the recent past for proof of that, as previous men in the same post allowed the power brokers in the conference — most notably Texas — to steer the ship, creating an unbalanced power system that left some members seeking the exits

and others holding on for dear life.

Allow that same scenario to emerge again and your expansion questions will be answered because no one will want to join that kind of conference.

As you probably have heard dozens of times already, Bowlsby and the Big 12 are finally to the point where they are seriously exploring the idea of adding schools to the Big 12. Whether that’s two, four or even zero newcomers remains to be seen and varies depending upon who you talk to, what you read and, really,

what you want to hear. A source familiar with the conference’s stance on expansion told me Friday that two, four and zero are all still in play and that the number and plan often fluctuates. It’s kind of hard to not change with the wind — in this case, the appetite of your current members — when it’s blowing wildly and from many different directions.

Rain postpones U.S. Senior Open Upper Arlington, Ohio — The final round of the U.S. Senior Open was postponed because of heavy rain, giving Miguel Angel Jimenez another night to sleep on the third-round lead.

The course at the Scioto Country Club absorbed 2.36 inches of rain late Saturday and Sunday, leading to the decision late Sunday afternoon. The USGA had hoped to get at least the first groups through during a break in the rain on Sunday, but the course was too wet to play.

Rain was forecast for today, too. The first groups are scheduled to off at 7:30 a.m.

Jimenez was at 3-under 207 on Jack Nicklaus’ boyhood course, a stroke ahead of Gene Sauers, and in position to win after blowing leads in his last two tournaments.

Usain Bolt became the first person to win three straight Olympic 100-meter titles, blowing down the straightaway in 9.81 seconds at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

The Jamaican great defeated American rival Justin Gatlin by .08 seconds for his seventh Olympic gold medal. Andre de Grasse of Canada won the bronze.

Bolt started pulling away from Gatlin with about 30 meters left. His electrifying kick capped an exciting Day 9 of the Rio Games that included Justin Rose winning the first Olympic golfing gold medal in 112 years with a two-stroke win over British Open champion Henrik Stenson.

American teen sensation Simone Biles added a third gold in gymnastics, capturing the women’s vault title, and the U.S. men’s basketball team had yet another scare, this one from France, before advancing to the quarterfinals as the top, albeit shaky, seed.

Bolt added the Rio gold medal to the ones he won in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012. After kicking off his gold spikes, he flashed a smile and his signature pose, the Jamaican flag draping from his shoulders.

Klay Thompson ended an Olympic-long slump with 30 points, and the U.S. needed almost all of them to hold off France 100-97 in basketball. It was the third straight close call for the favorites, who are looking as beatable as ever under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

His 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory halted the resurgent run of the 141st-ranked del Potro, who knocked off No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the first round and No. 3 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.

Synchronized swimmers were greeted Sunday by clear blue water in the pool after officials worked through the night to replace the murky green water that prompted competitors to dub it “The Swamp.”

Other highlights Sumgong’s sidestep: Jemima Jelagat Sumgong had to evade a protester on her way to delivering Kenya’s first gold in Rio, one which may have been saved by the swift intervention of security forces with a kilometer to go in the women’s marathon. A man leapt over the railings waving a sign and two police motor bikes instantly cut him off.

Rio de Janeiro. Brazil played in Brasilia, Salvador and Sao Paulo. Soccer is the only competition that is played outside of the Olympic host city. Seeking its first soccer gold medal, Brazil plays Honduras in the semifinals Wednesday at the Maracana Stadium.

Wrestling with wrestling?: Shinobu Ota of Japan stunned seven-time Greco-Roman world champion and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Hamid Soryan of Iran 5-4. The world’s oldest sport has undergone major changes. Matches now feature two 3-minute periods with cumulative scoring instead of the best-of-three format that could be a snooze.

Choppy waters: While worries about water pollution marked the run-up to the Rio Games, it was really the whipping wind that stirred up trouble during Olympic rowing. For the first time since 1996, the Olympic regatta was not held in a purpose-built lake, but a natural lagoon that left rowers exposed to the elements in new ways.

Swimmer Lochte robbed at gunpoint Rio de Janeiro (ap) — Ryan Lochte and three other American swimmers were robbed at gunpoint early Sunday by thieves posing as police officers who stopped their taxi and took their money and belongings, the U.S. Olympic Committee said.

In the latest security incident to hit the Rio de Janeiro Games, Lochte told NBC that one of the robbers put a gun to his forehead before taking his wallet. No one was injured.

Lochte and his teammates were returning to the athletes village by taxi after a night out at the French Olympic team’s hospitality house in the Rodrigo de Freitas area in the upscale south zone of the city.

The outing was several hours after Olympic swimming ended Saturday night at the Rio Games.

“Their taxi was stopped by individuals posing as armed police officers who demanded the athletes’ money and other

personal belongings,” USOC spokesman Patrick Sandusky said in a statement. “All four athletes are safe and cooperating with authorities.”

Sandusky told The Associated Press the robbers took cash and credit cards only, and that no Olympic medals were lost.

Traveling with Lochte were Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen. Lochte swam in two events at the Rio Games, winning gold in the 4x200-meter freestyle relay.

Orlando, Cain power Royals past Twins Minneapolis (ap) — With Paulo Orlando a double shy of the cycle, Kansas City manager Ned Yost said the Royals were hoping their best hitter could get one more at-bat in the ninth inning against Minnesota.

Orlando got his chance, but settled for a single.

The Royals were plenty satisfied, though, as Orlando hit a three-run homer and a triple and scored three times Sunday in an 11-4 win over the Twins.

“We were pushing for that at-bat so that he could get that opportunity. Just another lousy single,” Yost kidded.

What a difference a couple of weeks and a lineup change can make.

Orlando and Lorenzo Cain each matched career highs with four hits and drove in three runs as the Royals won their first road series since late June.

Edinson Volquez (9-10) threw six solid innings to snap his five-game winless streak. He gave up two earned runs and five hits in his first win since July 9, and his first road win since May 24.

Two weeks ago, the Royals closed July with their 10th loss in 12 games.

Zenger and Chancellor We’ve been down that Bernadette Gray-Little road before and it does continue to be involved

not lead anywhere good.

If things are going to go that way, the Big 12 would be better off (a) not expanding at all or (b) turning out the lights and closing the doors.

None of the parties involved are interested in option B, however — at least not as a first and actively sought choice — so it makes sense to conclude that if the conference can’t reach a unanimous decision about which programs to add, it likely will not add any at all.

That’s not to say that people aren’t out there trying. The campaigning has been rich with this one and longtime administrators around the

conference have told me that the whole thing is unlike anything they’ve ever seen in college athletics.

ESPN’s Brett McMurphy on Friday reported that 17 different schools — SEVENTEEN!!! — would get video conference interviews with Bowlsby in the near future, therein giving each one a golden opportunity to make its strongest case for inclusion.

Among the 17 schools scheduled for the pseudoface-to-face meetings with Bowlsby are Cincinnati, Houston, BYU, South Florida, Central Florida, UConn, Memphis, Colorado State, Boise State, Tulane, Temple, East Carolina, SMU, New Mexico,

Northern Illinois and San Diego State, according to McMurphy’s report.

If you’ve been paying attention at all, you already know that more than half of the schools on that list do not have any real shot of getting in.

And their desire to make their pitch speaks at least as much to the desperation of the schools on the outside of the Power 5 looking in as it does the strength and attractiveness of the Big 12.

It’s hard, at this point, to even hazard a guess as to what is going to happen. But let’s not forget that none of this would be happening at all if Bowlsby had not forced the conference to focus

and get serious about moving forward one way or another. Left to its own devices or guided by a weaker leader, the Big 12 likely would have dilly-dallied around for months, maybe even years, before reaching the point where it got serious about expansion.

That might not make Bowlsby look like the best leader in the world in the eyes of many. But in the context of what the Big 12 needs during this tumultuous time, laying down and sticking to any kind of plan or agenda is evidence of leadership at the highest level.

Now, if only we knew where it was taking us...

have too many. We can always have more.”

According to Kansas sophomore quarterback Ryan Willis, the turnover contest hasn’t been onesided.

“It switches off daily. It depends on what we’re working on, different installs for the day. I mean, coach Beaty has really stressed to our team that he wants to win the turnover battle,” Willis said.

“He’s just been really hard on us about that, and if we throw a pick or something we’ve got penalties after practice,

which aren’t too fun.

But he just wants ball security.”

Last season quarterback Montell Cozart threw one interception in his 105 attempts during an injury-shortened campaign. Opposing defenses picked off Willis 10 times out of his 315 passes, the bulk of which came against Big 12 defenses.

Cozart said the takeaway battle has helped both sides during KU practices and the defenders do a nice job of competing for balls in the air.

Now senior safeties, both Fish Smithson and Greg Allen had two interceptions last season, while Smithson also recovered a fumble.

Senior linebacker Marcquis Roberts led KU with two fumble recoveries during his junior year, and also picked off a pass. Sophomore defensive back Tyrone Miller forced two fumbles as a true freshman.

So far at practices, when Cozart drops back to pass he said the last guys he wants to see breaking toward a ball are Stewart, Smithson

and senior corner Marnez Ogletree.

Before every snap, Cozart said Smithson lurks in the secondary, reading the quarterbacks’ eyes.

“You can kind of see it before you take the snap.

Fish and I just kind of play cat-and-mouse games.

It’s just great learning from those guys,” Cozart said. “And I feel like our offense is putting great stress on the defense to where they’re getting ready. We run the same type of offense as a whole bunch of teams in the Big 12, so I know our defense is looking forward to it.”

interest from NBA franchises this summer, with Greene and Selden connecting with the Memphis Grizzlies and Ellis getting a shot with the Dallas Mavericks. While each still could earn a spot on an NBA roster through a strong training camp, Robinson said the decision of when to go for it and how long to give it a shot would come down to each player deciding what’s best for his career.

“The NBA is the goal,” he said. “And you just try to find your path there and you just have to weigh your options.

My first couple years in Europe, my goal was to make some money and try to come back and get to the NBA... The closer I got to it, the more I was able to see Europe was probably the best move for me, career-wise.”

Although those who experience long careers in Europe typically move

past the idea of one day getting back to the NBA, Robinson said the goal of making it in America remains in the backs of the minds of many players working overseas.

“You stay motivated,” he said. “You love the game and I would do it for free if I had to. It’s about opportunity, and you never know what stories are coming. At one point, the Knicks had a 36-year-old European rookie.... There are scouts everywhere and the NBA’s watching.”

Set to begin his ninth season playing professionally overseas, Robinson has enjoyed the opportunity to make a living doing what he loves while seeing the world at the same time. He started last season playing in Greece and finished in Poland, where he will start the upcoming season with the same franchise he ended with a year ago.

Robinson said his commitments overseas have kept him away from the United States for 10 months of each year and he has had to change his mindset in order to enjoy a lengthy pro career. Basketball is basketball, Robinson said, but the true adjustment comes off the court.

“The difference is living away from home, different food, different culture, those are the things you have to get used to,” he said. “The different rules and stuff, you pick that up pretty quick.”

Although Robinson has continued to make trips to Lawrence a regular part of his life, there is one thing that many locals have experienced that he has not.

“I’ve never been to a game at Allen Fieldhouse,” Robinson said.

Sure, he’s played in plenty of them and he

said he remembers the feeling of running out of the tunnel “like it was yesterday.” But he never has sat in the stands and watched his Jayhawks play. His recruiting visit came during football season and his pro career has kept him away from Lawrence every winter since he graduated. But that’s going to change this winter.

“I’m putting it in my contract to make it happen and I will go to a game at Allen Fieldhouse,” Robinson said. “I don’t know which one, yet. I’ll have to look at the schedule and see what works. But I am going to get back there this year to experience that.

“Right now, I’m happy and healthy and I’m gonna keep playing as long as my body allows me. Just try to live in the moment, keep it year to year and see where the journey goes.”

Montreux, land — Kansas’

Switzerwomen’s basketball team improved to 3-0 on its 2016 foreign tour with an 87-22 victory over Sion Select on Saturday.

The Jayhawks’ 65-point victory was their largest margin of victory on the tour.

Thirteen players scored for Kansas. Redshirt sophomore McKenzie Calvert led the way with 14 points.

Senior Caelynn Mannin-Allen and sophomore Tyler Johnson each scored eight points, and senior Jada Brown and sophomore Aisia Robertson had seven points apiece. Johnson ended the afternoon with five boards, second-most on the squad behind senior Sydney Benoit’s seven rebounds.

The Jayhawks’ offense clicked on all cylinders during the third game of their foreign tour. KU opened the game with 11 unanswered points to take an early double-digit lead. While the offense was heating up early on in the half, the defense held the Helios to only six points in the opening minutes.

At the same time, he said that players in the position of recent Jayhawks Perry Ellis, Wayne Selden and Brannen Greene, all of whom went undrafted and are trying to find a way to catch on in the NBA, should keep both options open.

“Those guys are still young, they’re fresh out and they’re full of talent and potential,” Robinson said. “So it’s still wide open for them. They’re still in position to chase their dreams and I would just tell ’em to continue to chase it. They’re right there.”
