NORTH LAWRENCE

Indian tribe, county agree to further property talk ———

Casino not up for discussion, official says

STEVEN PETRIE, 39, OF LAWRENCE, sits at Z’s Divine Espresso, 1800 E. 23rd St., with some of his artwork behind him. Petrie suffered oxygen deprivation as a baby, which left him with severe cognitive impairments, including the inability to talk, but he can still express himself artistically.

Resident with special needs surprises caregivers with artistic achievements

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @gilesbruce

S

teven Petrie is an artist.

Whenever he wants to draw, he gets out his art supplies. When he’s finished, he pushes them away and says, “done.” He even signs some of his pieces, with a loop and some lines at the bottom right corner of his paintings.

The 39-year-old Lawrence man might be mostly nonverbal, the re-

sult of an oxygen loss around the time of his birth that left him with severe cognitive impairments, but he can communicate. He tells you — with sounds, with his body language, with his emotions — exactly how he’s feeling and what he wants to do. So, yes, Petrie is an artist.

This was a surprise even to his family, who had been Petrie’s primary caretakers until his mother, Please see ARTIST, page 2A

Douglas County officials and leaders with the Delaware Tribe of Indians have agreed to hold another pair of meetings this week to discuss the future of about 90 acres the tribe owns along the Kansas Turnpike in North Lawrence.

But officials aren’t yet ready to say what topics they are discussing. Nancy Thellman, chairwoman of the Douglas County Commission, said the two sides have agreed to keep their conversations private un- Thellman til they are completed. But Thellman said she could assure the public that the topic of an Indian casino for the North Lawrence property is not being discussed.

Instead, Thellman previously has said she wants to discuss the possibility of an agricultural project being developed on the property, which is the former home of the Pine Sod Farm near the turnpike’s North Lawrence interchange. Tribal officials have said they are interested in a project that includes housing, medical and educational services that could be provided to American Indians in the area.

Thellman said she couldn’t comment on Please see TRIBE, page 2A

TANZANIA

Lawrence couple’s organization making strides in HIV-stricken community

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

When Jenny Peck and Geoff Knight arrived in Tanzania in 2006, their area’s HIV rate was about 35 percent but virtually no one was seeking treatment for it. Less than 10 years later, they say, 2,500 people are in treatment.

That’s just one of the

milestones the Lawrence couple count as a point of pride for Mufindi Orphans, a charity for which they are the directors and bridge to resources from the United States. They are in Lawrence now giving presentations about their efforts in hopes of drumming up financial

Learn more about it Geoff Knight and Jenny Peck will give a presentation about Mufindi Orphans at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Meeting Room B at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. It is open to the public.

Mufindi Orphans is a branch of Foxes’ Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust. Learn more on the organization’s Facebook page, facebook.com/FoxesNGO.

support, medical volunteers and other partnerships.

“There is great, great need,” Peck said. “The social network when we arrived had been disintegrated and destroyed by this HIV virus. ... We’ve seen what a little bit of money can do in a small community. It can go so far.”

Knight, 33, and Peck, 32, met while attending KU and moved to a remote part of the Mufindi district of Tanzania after graduating. They married in 2009 and have two children, daughter Twilumba, 4, and son Tukelye, 3.

Peck joined the Peace Corps and was assigned to the area and Knight

found a job teaching English nearby. After Peck’s Peace Corps stint was up, they stayed.

Some British expatriates who’d lived in Mufindi for decades asked Peck to manage their charitable organization, Foxes’ Community and Wildlife Conservation Trust, as it took on efforts to help orphans whose parents had died of HIV. They decided their approach would have to go beyond building an orphanage. Mufindi Orphans focuses on child care, health care and education.

“Without addressing the long-term problem, we really wouldn’t be getting anywhere,” Knight said. “It’s really grown into this huge safety net for children and even adults.”

It seemed an entire generation, parents in their 30s, was being wiped out of the community by

Laura, died from cancer in 2007 at the age of 69. Laura Petrie wanted her son to live at home for as long as possible, to keep him out of an institution where he might be neglected or marginalized. But his remaining family members say she would be proud to see him now, happy and full of life and realizing his creative potential, even though he now lives in a group home in Lawrence.

Petrie’s art career started a little more than a year ago, when his caregivers with Lawrence-based Community Living Opportunities, Al Brownlow and Ashlyn Clark, brought him a dry erase board and markers.

He started drawing — and never stopped.

“He just exploded,” Brownlow said. “It was in him all the time. We didn’t even have to encourage him.”

Petrie has been so prolific in his drawing and painting over past the 15 months that Brownlow and Clark decided to help him sell his artwork. They set him up with a website and his own Etsy page, and he now has his own show at Z’s Divine Espresso, 1800 E. 23rd St., Suite A, where his art will be displayed through September.

“We never knew we had an artist in the family,” said Teri Smith, one of Steven’s sisters. “I think it’s really awesome that these individuals saw the potential in Steven and were able to find a creative outlet for

HIV, Knight said. That left grandparents struggling to care for young, orphaned children. Little access to education limited young people’s opportunities. Residents who weren’t able-bodied were unable to farm, the most common occupation in the area.

And 30 miles from the nearest paved road, even if someone wanted treatment for HIV it would entail a four-hour bumpy bus ride that most could not afford to reach the nearest hospital, Knight said.

Forming partnerships with the Tanzanian people has been critical to achieving what Mufindi Orphans has done so far and ensuring its sustainability, Knight and Peck said.

In addition to building an orphanage, they helped get a medical care and treatment facility built in the district, which

him that he can enjoy and express what’s really inside of him.”

After the Petries adopted Steven as an infant from some fellow congregants at their church who couldn’t care for him themselves, Laura Petrie vowed he would have as normal a life as possible. She kept him in public school, where he attended his senior prom and graduated from high school.

A 1979 Journal-World article, which she kept in a scrapbook for Steven, detailed Laura’s exhaustive efforts to rehabilitate Steven, after doctors told her he would never walk or talk. She used cutting-edge methods for neurological rehabilitation, getting an individualized treatment plan from the Pennsylvania-based Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, which uses sensory stimulation and maximum motor opportunity to help people like Steven beat their prognoses. She kept his mind active and attitude positive, eventually teaching him to communicate and get around on his own.

“She worked so hard to get him to this level,” Smith said, noting that she really instilled in him a sense of manners. “Her motto was to never give up.”

Her persistence paid off, as Steven has already sold several paintings and sets of greeting cards with his artwork printed on the front, giving him a source of income to go with a sense of accomplishment.

His show at Z’s is called “Wonderful Me,” inspired by a conversation his caregivers had with him. They asked Steven what he would like to do if he could

be anything else: the president, a superhero. No, he said, he loved being him.

While Petrie’s pictures may look like random brush strokes, his caregivers say there’s more to it. “I know in each one of them there’s something special because no two of them are alike,” Brownlow said, adding that Petrie uses different color schemes in each work.

Brownlow pointed to one that resembled a bouquet of flowers. And drawing isn’t Petrie’s only artistic interest. He loves to dance and sing along to songs on the radio, with a particular affinity for classic rock.

Brownlow and Clark’s relationship with Steven goes way beyond client and caregiver.

On a recent day at Z’s, where Petrie loves the hot chocolate, he put Brownlow in a headlock before giving him a bear hug. Later, Petrie held a hand up to his face while laughing hysterically at Clark; she tried to stay stoic but eventually couldn’t help it anymore, bursting out in laughter.

“This doesn’t feel like a job,” she said.

“He’s positive and caring and compassionate,” Brownlow added. “He teaches you be to more patient. He really teaches you to let go.”

Smith is confident her mother, who never wanted Steven to live outside the home, would be happy to see him doing so well.

“I believe she’s watching over us,” Smith said.

“I think she had a part in picking these individuals. She would have wanted this for Steven.”

is staffed by the government.

Next, they want to build staff housing so that when the Tanzanian government sends medical staff they will have a place to stay. Also, they need money to build up the hospital, plus international medical professionals to volunteer there.

They also want to find ways to improve education for children in the area.

Peck said she and her husband never imagined that they’d be where they are today. She’s proud that the “seedling of an organization” has grown into one that is enabling an entire community to grow stronger and survive.

“Geoff and I can be a great bridge between them and the resources,” she said.

Despite heat, state fiddling, picking championships draw faithful crowd

By Joanna Hlavacek jhlavacek@ljworld.com

Trees were prime real estate in Lawrence’s South Park during the Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships.

As temperatures soared past 100 degrees Sunday afternoon, musicians and spectators parked themselves under the foliage — hats, fans and cool drinks in tow — seeking relief from the swelter-

ing late-August heat.

The 34th annual event attracted hundreds of people to South Park, where contestants competed in eight categories — miscellaneous instruments, youth fiddling, open fiddle, banjo, mandolin and both flatpicking and fingerpicking guitar — judged on rhythm, timing, execution, creativity and expression.

At the northeast corner of the park, bandmates Chad Buck and

said in a news release.

Responding officers, including deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, made contact with the person, later identified as Joseph Jennings, in the parking lot. A shooting took place during the encounter, and Jennings was eventually transported to Ransom Memorial Hospital where he died, Weingartner said.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation of the incident, according to the news release. Officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while KBI conducts the investigation. Both actions are a “matter of policy,� Weingartner said.

At a press conference Sunday afternoon, a recording of which was provided to the JournalWorld by KOFO radio station in Ottawa, Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting said an autopsy would be performed Sunday.

He said that detailed information on what precipitated the shooting would not be released until after the investigation.

Aside from the usual pre-competition jitters, the sisters said they felt confident going into the contest. After all, musical talent is in their DNA — their father, John, won the open fiddling category at last year’s championships.

Both girls have played the violin since they were 4 and have performed in several competitions over the years, including the renowned Walnut Valley Festival

Democrats fight back on health care law

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

After getting beaten up over the last several election cycles over the federal health reform law commonly known as Obamacare, Kansas Democrats adopted a platform that defends the law and calls for full implementation in the state, including expansion of Medicaid.

And some Democrats think they’ve found a weapon to use to fight back with in the health reform debate, Gov. Sam Brownback’s own health care policies — such as privatizing Medicaid and authorizing a health care compact to take over administration of federal health care programs — which they now refer to collectively as “BrownbackCare.”

“BrownbackCare is built on denying people affordable medical care, and takes the well being of millions of Kansans and our senior citizens, and makes it a blank check made out to our governor,” said Dennis Anderson, the Democratic candidate for insurance commissioner.

Polls still show that the

new law — or at least the word “Obamacare,” a Republican-generated nickname for the Patient Protection and Affordabe Care Act — remains unpopular in Kansas.

But state party chairwoman Joan Wagnon said the party believes those numbers can be turned around when people learn about the benefits of the law.

“I don’t know how you start doing that if you don’t start talking about its benefits,” Wagnon said.

The party platform, adopted Friday at the state party’s annual DemoFest convention in Wichita, includes a list of benefits the law has provided, such as allowing parents to carry their children on family policies up to age 26 and requiring insurance companies to provide coverage despite a person’s pre-existing conditions.

“However, certain provisions that make the ACA workable have not been enacted in Kansas — notably the expansion of Medicaid coverage to thousands of eligible persons. Kansas Democrats will work to expand Medicaid coverage in

Kansas,” the platform states.

“One of the comments when we were putting our platform together was, we’ve got to stop running away from the Affordable Care Act,” Wagnon said.

“When they understand the number of uninsured in Kansas is going up instead of down, and when they understand how many millions (of dollars) were given back, because premiums were lowered because of the Affordable Care Act, they’re going to figure out, hey, something good happened,” Wagnon said. “And it did, and I am tired of making excuses for it.”

In 2012, though, Gov. Sam Brownback and his conservative allies successfully used Obamacare as a weapon to attack moderate Reublicans and take firm control of the Kansas Senate. Since then, Brownback has repeatedly tagged his Democratic challenger, Rep. Paul Davis of Lawrence, as an “Obama-style Democrat” and criticized Davis’ support for the health reform law.

“Paul Davis has been fighting for Obamacare

in Kansas for years so the announcement of Paul’s embrace of Obamacare at Demofest is no surprise,” Brownback spokesman John Milburn said.

But Davis, who has been less vocal than others about his support for the law, said he wasn’t concerned about Republican criticisms this year.

“This is a state race here,” Davis said Saturday.

“Obamacare was enacted in Washington, D.C., and I’m not running for a job in Washington, D.C. We have issues that we’ve got to deal with at the state level, and I’ve been up front about why I think expanding Medicaid (an option allowed under the federal law) is the right thing for the state.”

The law established a mandate that most individuals carry health coverage that meets minimum standards or else pay a tax penalty. It also mandates employers with 50 or more full-time workers provide health coverage or pay a tax penalty.

It also provides funding for states to expand

eligibility for Medicaid, the joint federal and state health insurance program for the poor, to cover all individuals and families with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level. And for those with incomes above that level who cannot buy affordable coverage through their employers, it establishes marketplaces called “exchanges” where people can buy subsidized policies.

The Brownback administration has opted not to expand Medicaid eligibility in Kansas. And early in his administration, the governor returned a large federal grant the state had received to set up a statebased insurance exchange.

Still, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more than 57,000 Kansans had purchased insurance through the federal exchange as of March 31. And officials estimate another 100,000 would gain coverage if Kansas expanded Medicaid, as allowed under the law.

Anderson, the insurance commissioner candidate, criticized Brownback’s program to privatize the

state Medicaid program, which is now known as KanCare, as well as a bill passed this spring establishing a multi-state health care compact that would enable member states to administer all the federal health care dollars spent in those states, including Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly.

“BrownbackCare would take the money that’s allocated for Medicare — the guaranteed benefits that nearly 450,000 of our senior citizens rely upon — and put it in Brownback’s pocket to do with as he sees fit,” Anderson said.

“We can only assume, as with the example of KanCare, that he would turn it over to several private companies in Topeka and manage it — maybe even the same three companies that have not been able to file a claim on time in any month during the year 2013.”

Anderson faces Republican nominee Ken Selzer in the insurance commissioner race. Selzer has said he opposes the law and opposes expanding Medicaid in Kansas.

ate and law school, he served in the Army.

He first got interested in politics around age 10, inspired by the dramatic 1968 presidential election — won by Richard Nixon in a year that saw Vietnam War protests and race riots spurred by the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. He said that interest led to the “broad world” of public policy and affairs.

In announcing Robinson’s hire, KU cited his record of public service focused on civil rights, juvenile justice and higher education policy.

“Reggie understands

government and public service from the inside out,” Steven MaynardMoody, professor in the school and chairman of the search committee, said in a news release.

“He knows how to move policy and institutions forward, often turning obstacles into opportunities.”

Robinson replaces Marilu Goodyear, who directed KU’s School of Public Affairs and Administration for nine years. Goodyear was appointed as the assistant vice chancellor for academic program development for the Ed-

wards Campus and will continue to teach in the School of Public Affairs and Administration.

KU’s School of Public Affairs and Administration is consistently ranked as the best graduate school in the nation in city management and urban policy and is among the top five graduate schools in the nation in public management administration, according to the university.

Robinson said he looks forward to being on campus and working directly with students in his new role. He’s teach-

ing one class this semester, intro to public leadership at KU’s Edwards Campus.

Public affairs and administration draws students like the 18-year-old fresh out of high school, the former teacher looking for a new career or a police officer wanting a masters degree, Robinson said, and that’s invigorating.

He said he appreciates “that thirst for knowledge, and that excitement about how they want to use the knowledge they’re learning in the classroom to pursue their aspirations.”

Koch 101: Some basics on the billionaires Washington (ap) — Q: Who are the Koch brothers?

A: Charles and David Koch, ages 78 and 74, are billionaire brothers who helped create a broad network of nonprofit groups that control hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into politics. Through their deep pockets, they are reshaping politics with an uncompromising agenda of reducing regulation, advancing libertarian ideas, promoting free-market Republican candidates and ousting Democrats. They have two other brothers, William and Frederick, who aren’t involved in the effort.

Q: Where did they get their money?

A: The Kochs inherited their father’s company in Kansas and turned Wichitabased Koch Industries into the second-largest privately held company in the nation.

The conglomerate makes a wide range of products including Dixie cups, chemicals, jet fuel, fertilizer, electronics, toilet paper and much more. William and Frederick cashed out in 1983 and no longer have a stake in the company.

Q: How rich are Charles and David?

What came next played out over two decades: Bill and Freddie tried unsuccessfully to oust Charles as chief executive. Bill got fired. Charles and David bought out their brothers for a combined $800 million. Bill had second thoughts and sued for more. Charles and David won.

A: With a fortune estimated at $41 billion each, Charles and David tie for fourth on Forbes’ list of the richest Americans, and tie for sixth on Forbes’ worldwide billionaires list.

Q: What’s their secret?

A: Charles, chairman and CEO of Koch Industries, attributes the company’s success to his business philosophy, “Market-Based Management,” which he’s trademarked. Among its components: hiring and retaining people with the right values, and giving employees a bigger voice in decision-making. The company’s growth strategy also includes reinvesting 90 percent of earnings.

Q: How much money do Charles and David put into politics?

A: That’s the big question. It’s unanswered because the Kochs channel lots of money into nonprofit groups that don’t have to identify their donors. The Washington Post and the Center for Responsive Politics have calculated that the donor network organized by the Kochs took in at least $407 million in the 2012 election cycle. However, not all of that money came from

“Financially, we probably made a bad deal,” Bill says, then adds: “In my life, I’m happier than I ever have been when I was working at Koch Industries. I’m my own person.”

Today, he runs his own energy company, Oxbow Carbon LLC and ranks 122nd on Forbes’ richestpeople list. He’s stopped

the Kochs themselves.

David Koch’s charitable giving has included $58 million donated to nonprofits that could include groups such as Americans for Prosperity, the CATO Institute and the Heritage Foundation, according to company spokeswoman Missy Cohlmia. In addition, the two brothers’ direct political contributions to federal candidates and party committees totaled at least than $2 million over the past two decades.

Q: What motivates them?

A: Family patriarch Fred Koch, who built refineries in the Soviet Union in the 1930s, became convinced of the evils of communism and instilled in his sons an aversion to government intrusion. As David said of their father in a 2012 interview with The Wichita Eagle newspaper in Kansas, he “was extraordinarily fearful of our government becoming much more socialistic and domineering. ...

So from the time we were teenagers to the present, we’ve been very concerned and worried about our government evolving into a very controlling, socialist type of government.”

2nd public meeting to help decide fate of Turnhalle building More on the saga of trying to save an old East Lawrence building that was home to a social club that was built on the very ordinary principles of gymnastics, German food, beer, and sometimes bowling. (And for some reason, the editors of Leisure+Travel think we’re one of the quirkest cities in America.)

As we previously have reported, a group led by Lawrence developer Tony Krsnich has reached a preliminary deal to buy the old Turnhalle building at Ninth and Rhode Island streets. Now Krsnich and his team are trying to figure what uses they can put in the old building that once housed the German-American social club Turnverein.

The developers will hold their second community meeting to get feedback on possible uses for the building.

The meeting is set for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Cider Gallery in the East Lawrence Warehouse Arts District near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets. (The Warehouse Arts District is another one of Krsnich’s developments.)

Tom Larkin, a member of the development group, said the idea of some sort of beer garden with some bowling lanes in the basement is still very much a live one. That was similar to how the Turnverein used the basement of the building. Larkin said several groups that do performances also have expressed an interest in the main floor, which includes a stage and a balcony. Larkin said the idea of a dinner theater also hasn’t been ruled out yet.

But there are going to be some significant challenges to overcome with the property. Parking will be a major issue. The property really doesn’t have much of it, so the city and the neighborhood may have to back away from their normal parking standards if they want to

have a prominent use in the building.

Using the 1869 stone building for a private residence may be the easiest way to get around the parking problems, but the Lawrence Preservation Alliance — which saved the building from dilapidation — doesn’t want to see it used as a private residence. Larkin said his group also doesn’t think that would be the best use for the building.

After this Tuesday meeting, Krsnich’s group will have to start making some decisions about the future of the building. It was mid-July when he signed the deal to purchase the building.

The deal gave his group 60 days to conduct due diligence and come up with a plan for the building. So, as it stands, he has less than a month to decide how or whether to move forward. lll

A PUBLIC MEETING WILL BE HELD FOR THE TURNHALLE BUILDING, WHICH SITS ON THE CORNER of Ninth and Rhode Island streets, Tuesday. The construction firm that bought the building is holding the meeting to hear from the public on how the building should be used.

Neon/Art & Sign building at 615 Vermont St. The company already has moved into the space, but it doesn’t yet have up all of its neat solar components that will end up serving as a bit of a downtown billboard for solar energy and all things green. Cromwell will put a large number of solar panels on the bright red roof of the building, but that’s just the beginning. The more interesting element to keep an eye out for is the solar awning. The building will be one of the first in Lawrence to use a uniquely designed solar panel system that serves as an awning that overhangs the business’ windows and doors.

(Lawrence-based Good Earth Energy recently installed one at the Lawrence Makerspace in East Lawrence.)

“We hope it is something that catches on with other businesses,” Cromwell said. “We think they are going to look incredibly cool.”

The awnings do produce solar power, but not a tremendous amount by themselves.

Instead, Cromwell envisions them being used in conjunction with solar panels mounted on the roof of a building. Those

can produce significant amounts of energy, but they aren’t always very visible to the public. And let’s face it, one of the things a company that invests in solar panels would like to receive is some public recognition for being a green company. A solar awning is one way to show it.

Cromwell went through the process to ensure the solar awnings were compatible with downtown Lawrence’s historic design guidelines. But now that such approval has been granted, it will be interesting to see if they start becoming more prominent downtown. Imagine Massachusetts Street lined with solar panels and a hydroelectric power plant at the north end of downtown. It might help Lawrence stand out as a possible destination for the growing number of alternative energy firms that are looking for a home.

Cromwell can attest that Lawrence is a good place to grow a green energy business. As you may have guessed, he didn’t buy a building simply to have a place to put up a solar awning. The company was quickly running out of

space at its rented location in the 1000 block of New Hampshire Street The company has grown from about eight employees four years ago to about 25 employees currently. The new space more than doubles the amount of office space for the company, and also gives it a 4,000 square-foot warehouse for the installation side of its business.

As for Luminous Neon, we reported in January that it had bought the former G-Force Gymnastics building at 801 E. 23rd St. with the intention of moving its business to the location. Indeed that has happened. The facade of the building has undergone a bright makeover, and perhaps my fellow 23rd Street motorists already have noticed that the company is doing its part to make sure we arrive at our destinations on time. It has installed a new time and temperature sign in front of its building. So, if you see the F-150 kick into what I like to call “Dukes of Hazzard gear,” you will know that the sign has reminded me I’m running late for my tanning appointment.

Plans to add an artificial ice rink to the plaza area between the library and the city’s parking garage are still alive. The city recently received bids for the rink equipment, and Ernie Shaw, the city’s parks and recreation director, said the prices came in around the $100,000 mark that city officials had been expecting. Those bids are expected to show up on a future Lawrence City Commission meeting for consideration.

As we’ve previously reported, the ice rink would be seasonal.

Plans call for city crews to install the special ice-like material so that skating could begin around the Thanksgiving period and last through the Christmas holiday season.

Shaw said he expects city commissioners to make a decision soon on whether to proceed with the ice rink idea, which officials hope will bring more visitors to downtown.

Shaw said installation work likely would need to begin in October to have the rink ready for this upcoming holiday season.

As for other work in the plaza area, crews are continuing to pour some concrete and do some landscaping in the area.

I’ve been told concrete work could wrap up by the end of this month.

Sodding of the area likely would take place this fall. The portion of the plaza closest to Vermont Street will be a concrete area that could accommodate the ice rink, stages, or other such items for events in the plaza. The portion of the plaza that slopes downward toward Kentucky Street would be a grass area that could serve as a seating area or host other types of events.

Justice system in need of review

EDITORIALS

KCC, consumers The Kansas Corporation Commission is taking an unusual but positive step on behalf of Kansas consumers.

I

t’s nice to see the Kansas Corporation Commission standing up for consumers.

In a federal complaint filed last week, the KCC is arguing that Westar Energy’s electrical rates are supporting an unreasonably high profit for the company’s stockholders. It reportedly is the first time in recent memory — or perhaps ever — that the state commission has challenged transmission rates granted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The KCC sets rates that Westar can charge for power, but FERC approves transmission rates because Westar is part of an interstate power pool.

The federal agency is allowing Westar to pass through to consumers a transmission cost that includes an estimated 11.3 percent “return on equity,” for its stockholders. A KCC analysis indicates the rate should be 9.37 percent.

The reduction being sought by KCC would save Kansas consumers about $15.8 million a year.

Westar officials, of course, say the profit is necessary to make sure they can attract investors to support the company’s infrastructure. That essentially is the same argument Black Hills Energy is making to the KCC in its request for a rate increase that would raise the average residential customer’s bill by $4.17 per month. As part of that request, Black Hills was figuring in a 10.6 percent return for its investors.

That figure drew protests at a public hearing last month, and the KCC will accept additional comments on the proposal through Sept. 22.

It’s easy to see why allowing utility rates to be set at a level that guarantees a profit of 10 percent, 11 percent or more to investors doesn’t sit well with the Kansas public. It’s important for utility companies in Kansas to be financially stable, which means they need to make a reasonable profit. However, it’s also imperative that state regulators serve the public interest by making sure companies aren’t reaping unreasonable profits at the expense of Kansas consumers.

Washington — What is called “the” 1964 Civil Rights Act is justly celebrated for outlawing racial and other discrimination in employment, “public accommodations” and elsewhere.

But that year’s second civil rights act, the Criminal Justice Act, which is 50 years old this month, is, some say, largely a failure because of unanticipated changes in the legal and social context.

Is it?

In 1961, Clarence Gideon allegedly broke into a Florida pool hall and its vending machines. Gideon, who was indigent, requested a defense attorney, was refused and was convicted. In 1963, a unanimous Supreme Court overturned his conviction, holding that the Constitution’s Sixth Amendment (“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right ... to have the assistance of counsel for his defense”) entitles indigent defendants facing serious criminal charges to a government-provided defense attorney.

Congress responded by providing for “representation of defendants ... who are financially unable to obtain an adequate defense.”

Last year, David E. Patton, executive director of Federal Defenders of New York, published “Federal Public Defense in an Age of Inquisition” (Yale Law Journal), saying: “Would an indigent federal defendant prefer to be prosecuted in the system as it existed in 1963 with an illequipped, unpaid lawyer (or none at all), or would he prefer today’s system? Although the answer surely depends on

“

The Supreme Court has said that plea bargaining, which conserves judicial resources and involves forthright admissions of guilt, is ‘highly desirable.’” many factors, I conclude that in far too many scenarios, the rational defendant would choose 1963.”

Which is dismaying, if true. Is it?

Patton says that federal criminal law has expanded recklessly and become too punitive. Prosecutors use severity (especially mandatory minimum sentences), high rates of pretrial detention (doubled since 1963), and long detention (the length has quintupled since 1963) to produce excessive plea bargaining. This limits defense lawyers’ abilities to test evidence and challenge allegations before a neutral arbiter — a judge or jury. The adversarial process, the foundation of our criminal justice system, has become an inquisitorial process that fails to produce fair trials. Or even trials. “In 1963, nearly 15 percent of all federal defendants went to

trial; in 2010, the figure was 2.7 percent.” All this, exacerbated by funding disparities between prosecutors and publicly provided defense lawyers, is one reason why America has the world’s highest incarceration rate.

“In most cases,” Patton says, myriad factors push defendants toward “folding without a fight.”

Well. Where you stand depends on where you sit, and it disparages neither Patton’s arguments nor the earnestness with which he advances them to note that he sits at the defense table. J. Harvie Wilkinson III sits on a bench — the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. His essay “In Defense of American Criminal Justice” (Vanderbilt Law Review) rebuts what he considers an unjust “din of diatribe” against the way American criminal justice makes necessarily flawed but necessary trade-offs in the allocation of scarce resources in support of competing values.

The system endeavors to keep America both safe and free by doing as much as is reasonable — insisting on perfection being unreasonable — to minimize both convictions of the innocent and exonerations of the guilty. The bedrock safeguard is the beyond-areasonable-doubt standard for conviction, which together with the principle of jury unanimity deters prosecutors from bringing weak cases.

Plea bargaining is surrounded by constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and coercive interrogations, which

help justify the presumption of validity about judgments made through trials.

The Supreme Court has said that plea bargaining, which conserves judicial resources and involves forthright admissions of guilt, is “highly desirable.” And Wilkinson asks: Who would want to force all criminal defendants to go to trial?

Wilkinson stoutly defends Patton’s colleagues by rejecting, with evidence from studies, “the ubiquitous ineffective-assistance-ofcounsel claim.” Several studies indicate that the talents of the defendants’ lawyers, relative to those of the prosecutors, have “little bearing” on cases’ outcomes. And “at least one study suggests that public defenders are just as competent and effective as prosecutors.”

As for Congress’ alleged excessive expansion of criminal law, Wilkinson says this is partly “a response to the increasing sophistication of criminal activity,” such as cybercrime. Furthermore, the criminal codes are “democratic products” reflecting “deep-seated popular norms and communal judgments of desert and retribution.”

Patton, and too few political leaders such as Sens. Pat Leahy and Rand Paul, are leading a reassessment of the criminal justice system 50 years after a landmark advance. Wilkinson warns that flaws demonstrate not that the system is all wrong but that Immanuel Kant was right — no straight thing can be made from the crooked timber of humanity.

Dismal news To the editor: Who can hum the old “Hee-Haw” tune, “Gloom, Despair and Agony on Me”?

Thursday’s Journal-World took me in that direction with the news that our 196bed jail will soon likely need to be expanded by about 140 beds, with 70 of those beds to be devoted to inmates in need of mental health treatment.

Wouldn’t it be an altogether brilliant, compassionate and fiscally responsible measure to first do all we can to implement preventative measures and keep our kids OUT of Douglas County Jail? Let’s start with supporting more WRAP workers in our schools. WRAP workers provide schools, families and students a ready-made connection to mental health services as soon as a need for help is recognized or suspected.

WRAP interventions would likely also help address another slice of sadness I gleaned from Thursday’s paper, the fact that

although the number of our students achieving ACT benchmarks for college and career readiness has improved once again for the fourth straight year, the gap between white and minority students continues to broaden.

Katherine Dinsdale, Lawrence

Not surprised To the editor: Why am I not surprised? I should have been prepared for this blatantly biased coverage of the governor’s race when I saw the Journal-World editor getting his “marching orders” from the head of the Kansas Chamber, Mike O’Neal, at First Watch several months ago. I should have been ready for his editorials, but I was not prepared for the front page, above-the-fold coverage of the Brownback campaign versus the third or fourth page burying of the Davis campaign. Burying the negative results of the Brownback administration (loss of jobs, budget shortfalls,

increase in uninsured in Kansas, for example) is also evident in the reporting.

Our editor, who didn’t even endorse our hometown Republican, Scott Morgan, against one of the most outrageous secretaries of state in Kansas history, was surely going to support Brownback. We knew that, especially when seen taking orders from the Koch brothers’ stepson, the Kansas Chamber. But watching the obvious news bias is really taking it a step too far. Not recognizing Davis’ work building coalitions across the aisle, opposing the Brownback “experiment” of tax cuts to the richest while cutting education and health care to our citizens, and voting for property tax relief should at least be worthy of note by his hometown paper.

So I am not surprised. But I am surprised that I continue to subscribe to this paper. I guess when you are the only paper in town, you can act like it.

Craig Grant, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 25, 1914: years “The Lawrence ago schools will open IN 1914 this year on Sept.

14th. Superintendent Smith made several announcements this morning....

The buildings will be made ready very soon and all of the janitors will go to work next Monday.... A wooden floor will be placed in the gymnasium of the Central School for the use of Miss Crawford. The bubbling water fountains will be placed in the halls of the Central building and the High School and Quincy buildings will be entirely renovated. A cement sidewalk has already been laid on the south and east of the Woodlawn grounds.”

“Last night at 12:20 fire alarm was turned in at the fire department from North Lawrence. The fire was in a vacant house in North Lawrence. The house was located in the 400 block on Lincoln street.... This was the first chance the department has had to put the chief’s car into active service.

It did not get to the fire very much before the hose wagon did on account of running in the mud in North Lawrence.... The siren on the new car is in working order now and it is not hard to tell when the department is on a ‘go.’ The new siren sounds very much like the fire whistle.”

“A delegation of the residents of the North Side appeared before the commissioners in their meeting this morning and told of the drinking parties that were being held on the North Side.

They said that large crowds gather over there and have had lunches and drink most of the night on different occasions and the people of the North Side are getting tired of it. They asked the commissioners that they investigate the matter and see if it cannot be stopped. The men that appeared before the commissioners said that for their lunch they had fried chicken and that about three or four cases of beer were consumed at each meeting.”

Palestinian president prepares new appeal Ramallah, West Bank — Aides to the Palestinian president said Sunday that he will soon appeal to the international community to set a deadline for Israel to end its occupation of lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war and make way for an independent Palestinian state.

President Mahmoud Abbas was expected to unveil his proposal as part of a “day after” plan following the current war in the Gaza Strip, likely at a meeting of the Palestinian leadership on Tuesday, said the aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been made public.

Abbas is plotting his move even as the fighting continues to rage. Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, warned Sunday that the seven-week-old military campaign in Gaza would stretch into September — despite growing anger among residents in southern Israel over the military’s inability to halt rocket and mortar fire out of the Palestinian territory following the death of a 4-year-old Israeli boy over the weekend.

In new fighting Sunday, the Israeli air force flattened a seven-floor office building and severely damaged a shopping center in southern Gaza, signaling a new escalation.

Palestinian officials said 13 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, bringing the death toll to more than 2,100 Palestinians since fighting erupted on July 8. Sixty-eight Israelis have also died, all but four of them soldiers.

Michael Brown’s father asks for peace St. Louis — The father of a black 18-year-old shot to death by a white police officer in Ferguson pleaded Sunday for a “day of silence” as he lays his son to rest today.

“Tomorrow all I want is peace,” Michael Brown Sr. told hundreds of people in St. Louis’ largest city park during brief remarks at a festival that promotes peace over violence. “That’s all I ask.”

The more than two weeks since Michael Brown’s death have been marked by nightly protests, some violent and chaotic, although tensions have eased in recent days.

Brown Sr. told the crowd that he and his son’s mother appreciate the love and support they’ve received from the community. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who will speak at the funeral, echoed his request for peace.

Washington — An American journalist kidnapped and held hostage for nearly two years by an al-Qaida-linked group in Syria was released Sunday, less than a week after the horrific execution of American journalist James Foley by Islamic militants.

The freed American is 45-year-old Peter Theo Curtis of Massachusetts, who wrote under the byline Theo Padnos.

White House national security adviser Susan Rice said Curtis is now safe outside of Syria. Secretary of State John Kerry said Curtis was held by Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, an al-Qaida-linked militant group fighting the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Curtis was not believed to be among the hostages held by the Islamic State group that executed Foley.

Islamic State was formally disavowed by al-Qaida earlier this year after being deemed too brutal.

President Barack Obama, who was wrapping up a vacation in Massachusetts, was briefed Sunday morning on Curtis’ release.

“The president shares in the joy and relief that we all feel now that Theo is out of Syria and safe,” said White House spokesman Eric Schultz. “But we continue to hold in our thoughts and prayers

Napa, Calif. — The strongest earthquake in 25 years struck the heart of California’s wine country early Sunday, igniting gas-fed fires, damaging some of the region’s famed wineries and historic buildings, and sending more than 120 people to hospitals.

The magnitude-6.0 quake, centered near the city of Napa, an oasis of Victorian-era buildings nestled in the vineyardstudded hills of northern California, ruptured water mains and gas lines, hampering firefighters’ efforts to extinguish the blazes that broke out after the temblor struck at 3:20 a.m.

Dazed residents who had run out of their homes in the dark and were too fearful of aftershocks to go back to bed wandered through Na-

the earthquake, the White House said, and federal officials were in touch with state and local emergency responders.

The temblor struck about six miles south of Napa and lasted 10 to 20 seconds, according to the United States Geological Survey. It was the largest to shake the San Francisco Bay Area since the magnitude-6.9 Loma Prieta quake struck in 1989, collapsing part of the Bay Bridge roadway and killing more than 60 people, most when an Oakland freeway collapsed.

The earthquake sent at least 120 people to Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa, where officials set up a triage tent to handle the influx. Most patients had cuts, bumps and bruises, hospital CEO Walt Mickens said.

Twelve people were admitted, including an adult and a 13-year-old boy in critical condition.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Missing carries just part of losses Free State High football coach Bob Lisher listed qualities he liked about Joe Dineen as a running back during his junior season when he raised one interesting point that could apply to others.

“He’s elusive, yet he’s strong,” Lisher said of Dineen, who moved from a safety and red-shirt candidate to third on Kansas University’s depth chart at running back after seasonending injuries to Brandon Bourbon and Taylor Cox. “And he’s explosive. He can accelerate. Once he sees an opening, he can get through it pretty quickly. He’s worked extremely hard in the weight room to get bigger and stronger. Joe’s a tough kid.”

Lisher then said, “The one thing he might be behind on is blitz-pickup from the running-back position.

We didn’t have him do a lot of that.”

As soon as Lisher said that, I wondered if the same could be said for true freshman Corey Avery and junior-college transfer De’Andre Mann. Probably so. For that reason, it’s possible Cox and especially Bourbon actually could be missed more in the passing than running game.

Avery and Mann have made big impressions in camp.

Freshman center Jacob Bragg competed in the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game with some of the nation’s most talented prospects. He marveled at the athleticism of teammates and opponents. Asked to name a Kansas newcomer with similar knock-yoursocks-off ability, the first name to roll of Bragg’s tongue came as no surprise.

“Definitely Corey, without a doubt,” Bragg said. “He can make any cut he wants to. It’s honestly amazing to see in practice.

People don’t know yet how really good he is. Another guy would be De’Andre.

He’s just like Corey, but a little thicker, a lot stronger.”

Barring additional injuries, running the football shouldn’t be a problem — especially with Montell Cozart making the defense account for him as a running threat — as long as the beefy offensive linemen don’t become prematurely exhausted because of the faster pace of the offense.

‘Svi’ excused from Challenge

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Just one Kansas University basketball player did not participate in the team’s ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Sunday afternoon outside Allen Fieldhouse.

The one missing Jayhawk was freshman Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, who had an excused absence.

He’s been training with Ukraine’s National Team, has made the squad and will compete at the upcoming FIBA World Cup, set for Aug. 30Sept. 14 in Spain.

As such, his arrival date at KU will be pushed back to whenever Ukraine is eliminated from action in the tourney, which includes a U.S. team led by Derrick Rose and Stephen Curry. Ukraine will

play five games in Group C, including one versus the U.S. on Sept 4.

“I’m excited to have everybody back but ‘Svi.’ We’ll get him back sometime in a couple weeks or so after the FIBA competition is over.

Guys seem happy and hungry. I know they enjoyed this, because it’s for a great cause,” Please see HOOPS, page 3B

It’s a good thing Victor Simmons does not fear change, because the Kansas University senior has experienced nothing but transition since joining the program.

Wouldn’t you know it?

After 61 tackles, 2.5 sacks and a team-leading three forced fumbles in 2013, this past offseason brought another move for the 6 - f o o t - 1 1⁄2 jack-of-alldefensive trades. Simmons can now call Simmons himself a “buck” (a hybrid linebacker/defensive end position in KU’s scheme).

All he could do was embrace the ongoing changeover. Simmons said his freshman-year experience of fighting for a spot and doing all he could to get on the field — something new for the high school star — ended up shaping how he approached the game. Back in 2011, he determined the best way to climb the depth chart was to learn as much as he could.

“My strategy worked,” Simmons said. “So when I had to switch positions again, I was like, ‘Well, let’s try this again.’”

Headed into his final fall with the Jayhawks, Simmons opened preseason camp at No. 2 on the buck depth chart, behind fellow senior Michael Reynolds. KU defensive coordinator Clint Bowen thinks Reynolds could have a “special” season. But the staff has worked to develop more players who can apply pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Bowen said Simmons has acclimated himself since switching spots again.

“Victor’s a really good athlete, has a really good speed burst,” Bowen said.

“He’s a guy who made a lot of progress in the spring time.”

Bowen said before preseason camp that Reynolds and Simmons were clearly Please see SIMMONS, page 3B

Royals miss out on sweep Arlington, Texas (ap) — Ned Yost scoffed at the idea that the Kansas City Royals were worn out at the end of a long road trip.

“Everybody’s full of life,” the manager said. “We’re in a pennant race, man.”

The Royals are headed home with a two-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central, even after a 3-1 loss Sunday to the Texas Rangers.

“It stings a little bit. You win two out of three here,

but you had a chance to sweep,” said Billy Butler, whose ninth homer accounted for the only Royals LJ Otero/AP Photo run. “If it was the other way around, you lose the first KC’S BILLY BUTLER PUTS ON HIS SAD FACE after striking out in a 3-1 loss to Please see ROYALS , page 3B Texas on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Chiefs offense ‘not good enough’ Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs are not expected to play their starters much on Thursday night in Green Bay — if they play at all. And that means they might not step on the field having scored a touchdown when they open the regular season Sept. 7 against Tennessee.

“We need to do a better job,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.

“Offensively, it clearly wasn’t good enough, whether it was protection or blocking or seeing holes. Throwing the ball.

There just was no rhythm, and again, that’s my responsibility as the play caller to get guys in rhythm.”

Get guys in the end zone, too.

It hardly helps that the Chiefs have been ransacked by injuries and suspensions, especially on offense, and were without several key contributors against the Vikings.

Right tackle Donald Stephenson was benched after the NFL handed down a fourgame suspension for violating its performance-enhancing substance policy. Jeff Allen slid over from left guard to fill his spot, and Ricky Henry and Jeff Linkenbach alternated filling in at guard.

None of them fared too well as the Vikings piled up five sacks.

“There are no excuses in this league. Period,” Linkenbach said afterward in a quiet Chiefs locker room. “We need to do better as a unit, not just any one player.”

Running back Jamaal Charles sat out the second straight preseason game as he recovers from a foot injury. He’s expected to be available for the regular season, though.

The same can’t be said of wide receivers Dwayne Bowe and Junior Hemingway, who both were out of uniform against Minnesota. Bowe has been dealing with a groin injury and Hemingway has been out with a hip injury, and it’s unclear exactly when they’ll be able to get on the field.

Besides, Bowe is also suspended for the season opener after his arrest last November.

“We have to be realistic.

Dwayne’s not going to be there for the first game,” Smith said. “but it’s just not the guy that’s going to be playing his position. We all need to step up.”

That includes Smith, who was intercepted by the Vikings’ Captain Munnerlyn on a late throw into the end zone, and again by Chad Greenway on a poor throw near the goal line.

“We all would have loved to end it here on a better note,” Smith said, “but I’m still very comfortable with where we’re at. We got a ton of great work in here. Just need to finish.”

Smith finished just 14-of-24 for 140 yards against Minnesota. Backup quarterback Tyler Bray threw a late touchdown pass to Albert Wilson for the Chiefs’ only touchdown.

The running game fared little better without Charles. Knile Davis got the start and carried 12 times for 27 yards, an average of just over 2 yards per carry.

Cyrus Gray had a couple of long runs as he fights for a roster spot, but they came against the Vikings’ backup defense.

In all, the Chiefs managed barely over 300 yards of total offense against a defense that was among the worst in the NFL in every notable statistical category last season.

“We have to get it going. We have to get it rolling,” Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said.

“We have yet to have two consistent drives or a consistent offensive flow going through the game. Time is ticking, but I’ve got faith in the guys around here and the leadership around here to get this thing rolling.”

HUNTER MAHAN REACTS LINES UP HIS PUTT on the 17th hole during the final round of the Barclays on Sunday in Paramus, New Jersey.

Mahan earns Barclays trophy, then breaks it Paramus, N.J. — About the only thing that went wrong for Hunter Mahan at The Barclays was when the trophy broke. All he had to show for perhaps the biggest win of his career was a large wreath of roses.

“Am I supposed to put this on, Kentucky Derby style?” he said.

That would have been fitting. The closing stretch was exactly what he needed Sunday.

Mahan pulled away with three straight birdies, sealing the victory with a 20-foot putt down the slope on the par-5 17th. That allowed him a bogey from the trees on the final hole for a 6-under 65 and a two-shot victory in the opening FedEx Cup playoff event.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 68 and moved up three spots to tie for 13th. Woodland, who finished 6 back of Mahan at 276, earned $160,000.

Counting the final hole of the first round, Woodland went 37 straight holes of par-orbetter golf until Sunday. He opened the final round with a bogey and finished Sunday with two bogeys, a double and seven birdies.

Mahan had gone 48 tournaments and nearly 30 months since his last victory. The only player to never miss a FedEx Cup playoff event, he wanted to keep alive his streak of reaching the Tour Championship every year since this series began in 2007. And he wanted to state his case for a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup team.

“To get a win in an event like this, and the timing that it was, it feels unbelievable,” Mahan said.

GOLF

Ryu misses record, but wins London, Ontario — So Yeon Ryu missed out on the LPGA Tour’s 72-hole scoring record.

She got the champagne shower she was longing for on the final green— reversing roles with Inbee Park.

“I’ve been waiting so long for the champagne,” Ryu said Sunday after winning the Canadian Women’s Open for her third LPGA Tour victory. “I was ready to get champagne. I put champagne on Inbee maybe more than five times. Finally, she gave it to me.”

While Ryu fell short of Annika Sorenstam’s tour record of 27 under, she finished at 23 under at London Hunt to break the tournament record for relation to par by five shots.

“I’m a bit disappointed I couldn’t reach Annika’s record,” Ryu said.

The 24-year-old Ryu closed with a 3-under 69 to hold off fellow South Korean player Na Yeon Choi by two strokes. Park — the LPGA Championship winner last week — completed a South Korean sweep of the first three spots, shooting a 68 to finish at 18 under.

Dunlap edes Brooks in playoff Snoqualmie, Wash. — Scott Dunlap won the Boeing Classic on Sunday when he made a short birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff against Mark Brooks.

Dunlap set up his winning putt on the par-5 18th hole with an outstanding approach to the right of the pin that bounced past the hole, and then drew back downhill to within four feet. He missed his eagle try but made his next putt for his first Champions Tour victory.

“I couldn’t see anything (on his approach),” Dunlap said. “The cheers were letting me know.”

Dunlap, who has played multiple tours through his career with seven worldwide victo-

ries, did not win in his three stints — covering seven seasons — on the PGA Tour. His best finishes were three thirds. He won a couple times on the Web.com Tour, his last victory in 2008.

“It means the wait was worth it,” Dunlap said.

LITTLE LEAGUE

South Korea tops Chicago South Williamsport, Pa. — Jae Yeong Hwang drove in two runs, and Hae Chan Choi weathered a late Chicago rally to lead South Korea to an 8-4 win in Sunday’s Little League World Series championship game.

Hwang gave up one hit in two-plus innings while striking out four. He also drove in the Asia-Pacific Region champs’ first two runs as they built an 8-1 lead before Jackie Robinson West made it close.

Choi, who had a homer and scored twice, pitched the last four innings for South Korea, which won its third title after back-to-back championships in 1985 and ’85.

International teams have won the last three and four of the last five titles.

Brandon Green went 52⁄3 innings for Chicago, which had survived four straight knockout games before the final.

COURTS

Athlete: Reject NCAA deal Chicago — A former San Diego State football player has asked a federal judge to reject the recently proposed $75 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the NCAA, saying it unfairly forces athletes who suffered head injuries to forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in potential damages.

The request, which came in a late Friday filing in federal court in Chicago on behalf of Anthony Nichols, is the first in what’s likely to be a monthslong approval process to raise questions about the deal, under which the NCAA would create a $70 million fund to test thousands of current and former athletes for brain trauma.

It also sets aside $5 million for research.

The filing zeroes in on a settlement provision that would require football, hockey, soccer and other contact-sport athletes to give up their rights to seek a single, potentially blockbuster sum in damages as a class. They can sue as individuals, but the filing says most couldn’t afford the legal costs and so won’t.

NFL

Bradford out due to ACL tear St. Louis — Jeff Fisher shared the bad news with Sam Bradford on Sunday morning.

By the time the St. Louis Rams coach began his day-after news conference, he’d had several hours to digest the impact of an injury that puts the team’s once-rosy outlook in serious doubt, and to give a vote of confidence to journeyman backup Shaun Hill.

After announcing Bradford’s season-ending torn ACL in his left knee for the second time in nine months, Fisher said speculation about a trade was premature.

At the least, they’ll likely wait to see who hits the market in the first round of cuts on Tuesday when rosters must be at 75 players.

“It makes no sense to jump and react right now and try to fill the hole at whatever cost,” Fisher said. “We’re going to take our time and evaluate this.”

KU soccer nets ‘home’ win SCOREBOARD ————

Jayhawks return to Complex for 3-0 victory

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Not one member of the Kansas University soccer program thought “home sweet home” when Sunday’s afternoon game against SMU was moved from brand-new Rock Chalk Park to recently vacated Jayhawk Soccer Complex, but the Jayhawks didn’t complain.

KU’s season-opening victory Friday against Wyoming left its new home field with some divots and potholes, so the Jayhawks headed back to the facility they have played at for years and practiced at all preseason for a 3-0 victory over the visiting Mustangs.

A few days after saying opponents had called Jayhawk Soccer Complex “dumpy,” sophomore Tayler Estrada said she and her teammates had no problem with returning to the chided facility.

“The field here is a lot better than the field at Rock Chalk,” said Estrada, who set up freshman forward Eli Mayr on the first goal of the afternoon, in the 31st minute.

“So if anything, we were more excited to play here

KU coach Bill Self said after Sunday’s Challenge.

The 6-foot-8 Mykhailiuk averaged 16.0 points and 4.7 rebounds a game, earning MVP honors at the Under 18 Div. B European championships in July.

After that tourney was completed, he headed to national team tryouts.

Asked if it’s good or bad that Mykhailiuk now has national-team responsibilities, Self said: “I think it’s good, more good than bad. I think it’s an unbelievable honor for him, for a guy that young, who just turned 17 to have a chance to compete against the elite players of the world, I think it’s awesome.

“It’s a good thing, but it will put him behind.

There’s no question when he gets here he’s gonna be a couple weeks behind everybody else. Since he wasn’t here this summer, he’s going to have some catching up to do, but he’s also played more ball than anybody this summer, too. It’s been nonstop for him since first of June,” Self added.

As far as the rest of the squad, Self said every player will begin regular workouts in preparation for the official Oct. 3 start of practice. Late Night in the Phog is Oct. 10.

“Health-wise, everybody is fine. Cliff (Alexander, 6-8 freshman, Chicago) will do some more rehab this first week, maybe not do much contact if any the first week,” Self said of the power forward who sprained a tendon in his right foot in early July.

the team’s two best bucks, adding, “We’ll see who else shows up and what they do.”

Rushing the passer is a far different responsibility than playing free safety, Simmons’ initial function at KU. But his main goal every time he has switched to something new has been to maintain a balance of speed and

KANSAS PLAYERS CELEBRATE A GOAL BY SENIOR FORWARD ALI KIMURA (12) as SMU defender Taylor Jackson looks on during their soccer match Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex. KU won, 3-0. because we were able to play on an even surface.”

KU coach Mark Francis said his team lacked sharpness in the first half, but finally broke away from playing average in the final 20 minutes. That’s when senior forward Ali Kimura and junior midfielder Liana Salazar scored unassisted goals with precise shots past SMU backup goalkeeper Lisi Lonsberry (starter Shannon Moroney left in the 58th minute because of a left leg injury).

On the other end of

the pitch, Kansas senior keeper Kaitlyn Stroud saved five shots, including a pair of diving denials — one on an Olivia Elliott penalty kick in the 85th minute.

The old field played much better for KU than the new one, where KU won 3-1 on Friday. Estrada said the new park had sand on the outskirts of the surface, and she likened those areas to running on a beach.

“That made it a little bit tougher to get out wide

“He’s good to go. We just have to take our time because he’s been out so long, not put him out there too quick. It’s healed up nicely,” Self added of the tendon.

Self said preseason Boot Camp conditioning would run for two weeks this year and begin on the Monday three weeks prior to the first official workout, which is Sept.

ther in walking his daughter down the aisle. I do feel for families that have more than one daughter, though, because they are fairly expensive, as everyone knows,” Self added, laughing. “It was a great weekend, and we’re so happy to see our daughter so happy.”

l

Taking a stroll: Self said he took a long walk Sunday, prior to the Ice Bucket Challenge. During his stroll, he pondered the makeup of his 12th KU team.

“I know I’m going to like our speed. I know I’m going to like our hungriness. I think I’m going to like our aggressiveness,” he said. “The only thing that will be different with this team is, we’re used to having size. Our standing height is by far the smallest it’s been in a long time.

“But we also won a national championship (in 2008) starting two 6-8 guys (Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson), but we had 6-11 (Sasha Kaun) off the bench.

We won a lot of games when Wayne (Simien, 6-9) and Christian (Moody, 6-8) were our two big guys. But still that hasn’t been the way we’ve been successful of late. So we’re going to have to adjust and do some things defensively I think will benefit our personnel and maybe some things offensively to open the court more to allow our guards maybe to post more.”

The Challenge: KU junior Perry Ellis was the only speaker during the Ice Bucket Challenge.

He issued a challenge to players from all Big 12 teams to have water dumped on their heads and to make a donation to ALS. Self is the one who challenged his own players. To watch the KU Ice Bucket Challenge, go to http://ljw.bz/1ns7lBH l

It was a great wedding: Self’s daughter, Lauren, married Hayden Browning on Aug. 16 in Kansas City.

“The wedding was great. There’s not a bigger thrill I think for a fa-

Bizarre recruiting: Former Oregon signee Ray Kasongo, who was not offered a scholarship by KU after his visit in July, apparently won’t be headed to College of Southern Idaho after all.

According to Zagsblog.com, Kasongo’s bags made it to the Boise, Idaho, airport last weekend, but he did not. A source said Kasongo was intercepted by someone at the Denver airport and taken elsewhere.

“After several hours of panic and alerting authorities, we did hear that he switched planes in Denver and flew to a different location. We are thankful that he is safe but disappointed in his reckless choice. We only want people who really want to be at CSI, and apparently he doesn’t want to be. We wish Ray Kasongo the best in his future,” Southern Idaho coach Jared Phay told Zagsblog.

It’s unknown where Kasongo will elect to play ball.

size. He wanted to add muscle, but not at the expense of his quickness.

His teammate, senior defensive end Ben Goodman, can relate. A former buck, he, too, has done an about-face on more than one occasion.

Goodman said he and Simmons joke about their adaptability.

“He looks like a really good player out there,” Goodman added.

Of Simmons’ new defensive obligations, one is the glaringly different.

“Every position has

their thing that is physically demanding, mentally demanding, whatever,” the senior said. “When I have to fight with the (offensive) tackles, that’s no fun. So I choose to run past them.”

His acceleration remains his go-to weapon, because most plays call for him to race down the quarterback from an edge — usually with a 6-8, 350-pound mountain blocking his path. In comparison, Simmons said other scheme responsibilities don’t seem that

and control the ball,” Estrada said.

Francis, who days earlier said some high school stadiums had better setups than the old soccer complex, said the Jayhawks (2-0) were disappointed about temporarily abandoning Rock Chalk Park, but were excited to play to their full capabilities Sunday without worrying about holes or sand traps.

No decision has been reached, the coach added, on when Kansas will return to its new stadium.

A KU spokesperson said the plan is to repair the field throughout this week and determine as soon as possible when the team can re-inhabit Rock Chalk Park. KU’s next home game is Friday against UT-San Antonio.

“Once the field’s safe for us to play on,” Francis said, “then we’ll play there.”

The coach identified resilience as one of the team’s “core values” and said players have proven that the past few days, with the field issues.

“There’s nothing that any of us can do about it,” Francis said. “We’ve just got to move on, and the kids, to be honest with you, have done a really good job of that.”

one and win the last two, it’s a little bit different mentality. Our goal is to win series. We’ve done that.”

Kansas City began the series with consecutive 6-3 victories, part of 24 wins in the best 30-game stretch in team history.

The Royals, who also took three of four at Minnesota before a two-game split at Colorado, play 20 of their next 26 games at home.

“Keep winning series, and we’re going to be OK,” Yost said.

Scott Baker (2-3) went five innings in a spot start to win as a starter for the first time in more than three years.

“The change isn’t a big deal to me,” he said.

“Now that I’m settled into this buck position, it’s almost weird now, to have a home.”

Simmons loves variation, and that’s exactly why he also fits in so well at his latest defensive post.

“I could line up against the same guy every snap of the game,” Simmons said, “and every single snap will be completely different.”

Baseball MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Mets turn triple play, beat Dodgers National League Mets 11, Dodgers 3 Los Angeles — Lucas Duda homered twice, drove in a career-high five runs and was involved in the New York Mets’ first triple play in over four seasons, allowing a grieving Bartolo Colon to breeze to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday.

Colon (12-10) gave up two runs and five hits over six innings and struck out five in his first start since his mother Adriana passed away on Monday from breast cancer. After the game, the 41-year-old right-hander returned to the Dominican Republic to attend her funeral.

Dear Annie: Our daughter will be a college freshman this year.

She has been texting her new roommate so they can learn a little about each other.

Our daughter recently received a text from her new roomie stating that her parents and boyfriend will be bringing her to the campus. Her parents will be staying in her brother’s apartment, but the boyfriend is planning to stay in the girls’ dorm room. The room has two twin beds and very little space.

I was disappointed to hear this. My daughter is also bummed, but she is afraid to rock the boat with a new roommate.

We very much want our daughter to have a good roommate experience. However, we do not want her to have to put up with a boyfriend in her room throughout

the year. Do you have any suggestions? — Mom Dear Mom: These are the kinds of problems that crop up in college dorms, and your daughter needs to work them out herself. She can talk to her new roommate, asking how often the boyfriend will be around and whether they can go to his place instead. She can get a privacy screen so this activity is not in her face. But we also recommend she ask to

NBC is disrespecting the Emmys Why are the 66th Primetime Emmys (7 p.m., NBC) taking place during the very last week in August? Next to the week after Christmas, it’s the slowest media week of the year — a time when nobody is paying much attention, when we’re all on vacation or wished we were, when most series, and nearly every late night talk show, is in repeats.

Time was, the Emmys took place several weeks into September, on the eve of a new TV season. In fact, they still take place in September. Except when it’s NBC’s turn. Then they get no respect.

Some years back, NBC began airing them on Sundays in August so as not to disrupt the schedule of its expensive and highly rated “Sunday Night Football” franchise. That made sense, in a certain tone-deaf way. NBC seemed to be saying that football is more important to us than honoring our own industry. You never see CBS jerking around the Emmys so as not to disrupt its schedule. But CBS has the most viewers, so it can afford to be respectful.

And this year, the ceremonies take place on a Monday, on a night after NBC aired a preseason game. So why couldn’t NBC have waited for a Monday in September? It’s not like its schedule is so loaded with indispensable shows.

To make matters worse, NBC has begun to treat the Emmys like an afterthought at precisely the same time when many have begun to take television much more seriously. It’s not unusual for people to say that compared to motion pictures, television has emerged as the more engaging and intelligent medium.

That doesn’t stop ABC from treating the Oscars as a major annual event.

Tonight’s other highlights

A new twist on apples on “MasterChef” (8 p.m., Fox).

A Vermont inn takes “pet friendly” to extremes on “Hotel Hell” (8 p.m., Fox).

Another family death on “Dallas” (8 p.m., TNT).

Barbie’s links to the Dome are scrutinized on “Under the Dome” (9 p.m., CBS).

Savi’s date with Zack ends on a puzzling note on “Mistresses” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Game show host Monty Hall is 93. Actor Sean Connery is 84.

My father was never observed kissing or touching boys. We just knew he had an unnatural attraction for them.

“Worried Wife’s” situation is far more blatant.

She may want to keep him out of jail for her daughters’ sakes, but be assured that this young boy is only a stop on the way to his next victim. — F.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Worried Wife,” who fears her husband is a pedophile. He absolutely is.

I am now 50 years old. Twenty years ago, my father, a respected community member, was accused of being a pedophile, but the case was not prosecuted.

Our whole family went to therapy. My father admitted he had molested the poor boy and also that he had molested several other boys in prior years.

At that time, I told him that if I ever suspected him of molesting another child, I would turn him in to — Send questions to the police. I did so 10 anniesmailbox@comcast.net, years later. It turned or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box out he had a string of

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Aug. 25, 2014: This year you open up to the possibility of letting go of what no longer works. You are one year away from starting a new life and luck cycle. If you are single, you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. If you are attached, the two of you love to go on weekend getaways together; it adds to the glue between you and increases your emotional security.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Tap into your creativity when dealing with a willful associate. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might not be in a Monday mood right now; you probably would be happier being frivolous or in weekend mode. Tonight: You have a choice to make!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Return calls right away, as there could be some information waiting to be shared. Tonight: Implement a change.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Take stock of your finances before you get going today; you might have made a mistake in your math. Tonight: Let work become play.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll start the day feeling energized, but an obstacle with a family member is likely to

slow you down. Tonight: Meet a friend for munchies and to catch up on news.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Tonight: Anything goes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A friendship holds unusual significance at this moment. This person makes all the difference in what happens to you and your choices. Tonight: Vanish quickly.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to head in a new direction or do something very differently. Tonight: Be noticed.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Look beyond the obvious. Tonight: Could go very late.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A partner or associate has a vision that he or she would like to share with you. Pull back rather than trigger. Tonight: Use your imagination.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others will come toward you. You are likely to gain a new perspective. Tonight: Enjoy chatting with a favorite person over dinner.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Move in a new direction.

Don’t overthink things. Tonight: It would be best not to be alone.
