Wichita — Gov. Sam Brownback vowed Monday that if he is re-elected, he will make battling the federal government on issues such as environmental regulation, health care and gun rights a major focus of his second term. “Man is not free unless government is limited,�

Brownback said, quoting a famous 1964 speech by Ronald Reagan. “You can’t have a government taking everything from everybody Brownback all the time.�

Speaking to a few dozen people gathered at the Wichita Area Builders Association, Brownback, who is facing a strong challenge from Democrat Paul Davis, of Lawrence, outlined seven areas where he said the federal government — and the Obama administration in particular — had infringed on states’ rights.

Chief among those, he said, are new clean air standards that limit emissions from power plants, which he said were adding $227 million a year to customer utility accounts. “These are on people, in a lot of cases

The transition from the safe environment of high school to the realities of the working world can be rough for anyone, but add a developmental disability and the road can be that much bumpier.

they can’t afford the utility bill they’ve got,” Brownback said. “And now you’ve raised it because of an increased regulatory atmosphere.”

Campaign officials weren’t immediately able to identify the source of the $227 million cost figure. In July, the Kansas Corporation Commission approved an $11.5 million rate increase for Kansas City Power and Light. And in November 2013, it approved a $31.7 million rate hike for Topeka-based Westar Energy.

Both rate increases were to cover the capital cost of upgrading the LaCygne generating plant, which the two companies jointly own.

Brownback also vowed to continue fighting implementation of the Affordable Care Act in Kansas,

including any expansion of Medicaid.

“Obamacare is not working. It’s not going to work. It has been harmful, and we don’t need to see that expansion taking place in the state of Kansas,” Brownback said.

The law originally required states to expand Medicaid to cover all individuals, regardless of family status, up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. But the U.S. Supreme Court struck down that provision of the law, saying the federal government could not make such an expansion mandatory.

Currently in Kansas, working-age adults are eligible only if they have dependent children and their income is below about 25 percent of the poverty level.

The White House Council of Economic Advisors has estimate an additional 100,000 people in Kansas would gain coverage if the state expanded Medicaid, and the federal government would pay about 90

percent of the cost.

But Brownback has said he doesn’t believe Congress will follow through on that funding and that the cost would eventually be borne by the state.

Other issues where Brownback said the federal government is interfering with states’ rights include: l The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s decision to list the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species in Kansas, something he said interferes with agriculture and oil and gas production. Earlier this month, Brownback and Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said they would sue in federal court to block that designation. l Proposed new clean water regulations, which Brownback said would extend federal regulation to farm ponds and drainage ditches, a charge that EPA officials have denied. l Gun rights. Brownback signed a bill into law this year making it ille-

Carolyn Clark’s son Ben just completed the program with Thawnmung in May. She said that Project Search has opened doors for her son that she’d always wanted for him.

“As your child gets to the end of high school, you get nervous,” Clark said. “You want your child to have a full life; you don’t want them to be alone and isolated.”

Ben now works for the accounting firm Summers, Spencer & Company, P.A., filing and scanning papers and helping with office activities. Clark said she’s so proud of how far Ben has come.

“I told my son’s coworker that I’m pinching myself because he’s so happy,” Clark said.

“Every parent wants their child to be an active member of society with fulfilling work.”

Dale Smith, a zone manager for KU’s Facilities Services who was a supervisor to a Project Search student this past year, said the program is a win for both the students and businesses.

“From an employer’s standpoint, this wasn’t a donation or feel-good type of thing,” Smith said. “We consider this a resource for highquality employees. We Opened doors can’t wait to get our Lawrence resident next one.” be happy with life in general.”

Like all the other 2014 Project Search graduates, Thawngmung landed full-time employment, according to Angie Loving, assistant director of Human Resources at KU. One of Thawngmung’s internships included working in food service with KU’s dining facility at Oliver Hall, where he was hired upon completion of the program.

“I always had a passion for cooking,” Thawngmung said, “I just never thought it could be a career for me before Project Search.”

Thawngmung said the experience has inspired him to dream of opening his own “community outreach restaurant,” where he said he would offer “discounted prices for people at or below the poverty line.”

“I’m really interested in helping people. I’m just another person, and I want to be treated like that,” Thawngmung said, “I want to give people a place where they can feel accepted and loved by people around them like I do now.”

gal for federal officials to enforce federal gun laws over guns that are manufactured and kept solely in Kansas. The Brady Center, a national gun control advocacy group, recently filed suit in federal court challenging that law, but Brownback said he would defend the state’s statute. l The aviation industry. Brownback accused the Obama administration of “bad-mouthing” the general aviation industry through its repeated calls to eliminate tax deductions for corporate jets.

He said the private aircraft manufacturing industry is important to Wichita and the tax incentives help make those planes more affordable. l Education. Although he did not mention it in his spoken remarks, the accompanying press release alluded to the new Common Core standards for reading and math and new nutrition guidelines for school lunches as examples of federal overreach. “Decisions made for

our children on standards, assessments, and accreditation should be made for Kansans by Kansans,” the release stated. “I favor local control.”

Brownback said fighting for more state control was part of his second term agenda, which he has dubbed “Road Map 2.0.”

Speaking with reporters afterwards, Brownback also offered a few details on the economic portion of the agenda that he outlined last week.

That included a call for creating “urban opportunity zones” in high poverty urban areas. On Monday he said such zones would be modeled after the rural opportunity zone program enacted during his first term and would likely include income tax breaks and student loan forgiveness for people who move into or make business investments in those areas. He said areas of Wichita, Kansas City and Topeka would be the most likely locations for those zones.

State jobless rate goes up to 4.9 percent

Getting in line

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas jobless rate rose a tenth of a point in July to 4.9 percent as the number of people employed fell slightly and new claims for unemployment rose.

Still, that seasonally adjusted number is down from the 5.6 percent jobless rate posted in July 2013, but it is still significantly higher than the pre-recession low of 4.0 percent recorded in early 2008.

Over the year, the total number of people employed in Kansas has grown by nearly 22,000, or 1.5 percent. “Several signs demonstrate continuing economic strength in the Kansas economy,� said Kansas Labor Secretary Lana Gordon. “Since last month, Kansas has gained 900 Please see JOBS, page 4A Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

Construction on campus delayed Officials suggest motorists try to avoid Daisy Hill, Lied Center

By Staff Reports

Construction on Jayhawk Boulevard on the Kansas University campus has been delayed, though university officials say it will be open before the fall semester starts KANSAS UNIVERSITY M o n d a y .

Meanwhile, KU says to avoid the area around the Lied Center and Daisy Hill on movein day Thursday.

The completion date

for phase two of the Jayhawk Boulevard project has been delayed until Sunday, according to the KU Office of Design and Construction Management. Sidewalks and bus traffic are expected to be open later this week.

Construction on Engel Road at Daisy Hill has also been delayed.

On move-in day, traffic around Daisy Hill is expected to be heaviest between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m., with the most congested intersections expected to be 15th and Iowa streets, 15th and Crestline Drive, and 19th and Iowa streets.

BRIEFLY Charges dismissed decided to dismiss the case against Lawrence man without prejudice.”

Charges have been dismissed in the case of a Lawrence man whom police arrested in June on suspicion of aggravated assault and endangering a child.

Officers arrested Mark Gann, 31, on June 22 after responding to a report of a disturbance with weapons in the 400 block of Graystone Drive.

The charges related to a fight Gann reportedly had with his neighbor over a handgun and the discovery of two children under 10 left unattended with loaded weapons.

“The charges in this case were filed on an unsafe condition in the home,” said Cheryl Wright Kunard, assistant to the Douglas County District Attorney. “The unsafe condition was rectified and it was

seasonally adjusted private sector jobs, a 0.1 percent increase.”

Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique that tries to measure and remove the effects of predictable seasonal patterns such as school schedules, weather changes, harvests and major holidays to show how employment and unemployment change from month to month.

On a nonadjusted basis, the July unemployment rate was 5.4 percent, up from 5.1 percent in June and down from 6 percent last year.

In his re-election campaign, Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, has touted the job growth in Kansas, particularly in the private sector. Last month, he used the numbers to say there were more Kansans employed than at any time in the state’s history.

That claim was based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ unemployment survey, which is a household survey that counts the number of people employed, including those who are self-employed, plus those who are unemployed and seeking a job. That survey also showed the size of the Kansas labor force was near its all-time high.

Another survey of employment, hours and earnings, commonly known as the “jobs report,” counts the number of payroll jobs in an area and excludes those who are self-employed.

By that measure, the

Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department said the animal control officer was stopped westbound at a red light when she heard the sound of tires screeching. She observed the motorist’s car stopping just short of hitting her. The animal control officer pulled forward slightly before feeling a “bump” on the rear end of her truck.

left unsupervised in the apartment for up to two hours, said Sgt. Trent McKinley of the Lawrence Police Department.

“

It’s a humanitarian problem, it’s a border problem, and it’s a criminal problem with regards to drug cartels — all wrapped up into one.”

— Sen. Pat Roberts

estimates the number of Central American immigrants will grow to 100,000 if the U.S. doesn’t respond.

“It’s a humanitarian problem, it’s a border problem and it’s a criminal problem, with regards to drug cartels — all wrapped up into one,” he said. “A very difficult situation.”

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, also a Kansas Republican, told the audience at the KIOGA gathering that the comprehensive immigration bill passed by the Senate was “just unacceptable” in the House because it looked a lot like amnesty. The House then considered taking a step-by-step approach to immigration beginning with securing the border first, and Re-

publicans had a “family discussion” earlier this year on it, she said.

“What it came down to is we decided to not pursue that agenda because there is a trust deficit in Washington,” Jenkins said. “We pass bills, we don’t pass suggestions and then watch this administration rewrite laws. ...

We could pass the most perfect, ironclad immigration that we think the majority of Kansans and Americans would support and you know what, the guy in the White House will just do something entirely different.”

Obama announced in June that congressional efforts to remake the nation’s dysfunctional immigration system were dead and he would proceed on his own authority to fix the system where he could.

Pathologist: Brown may have had his hands raised

By Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press

Ferguson, Mo. — An unarmed 18-year-old whose fatal shooting by police has sparked a week of protests in suburban St. Louis suffered a bullet wound to his right arm that may indicate his hands were up or his back was turned, a pathologist hired by his family said Monday.

But the pathologist said the team that examined Michael Brown can’t be sure yet exactly how the wounds were inflicted, citing the need for more information.

An independent autopsy determined that Michael Brown was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, the family’s lawyers and hired pathologists said.

Witnesses have said Brown’s hands were above his head when he

was repeatedly shot by an officer Aug. 9 in Ferguson.

In Washington, President Barack Obama said the vast majority of protesters in Ferguson were peaceful, but warned that a small minority was undermining justice.

During a brief pause in his summer vacation, Obama said overcoming the mistrust endemic between many communities and their local police would require Americans to “listen and not just shout.”

The president also weighed in for the first time publicly on the militarization of some local police departments, saying it would probably be useful to examine how federal grant dollars had been used to allow local police to purchase military-style equipment.

Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to

travel to Ferguson later this week to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown’s death.

Obama said he told Nixon he wanted to ensure Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon’s use of the National Guard was limited in scope.

Forensic pathologist Shawn Parcells, who assisted former New York City chief medical examiner Dr. Michael Baden during the private autopsy, said a bullet grazed Brown’s right arm. He said the wound indicates Brown may have had his back to the shooter, or he could have been facing the shooter with his hands above his head or in a defensive position across his chest or face.

“We don’t know,” Parcells said. “We still have to look at the other (elements) of this investiga-

tion before we start piecing things together.”

A third and final autopsy was performed Monday for the Justice Department by one of the military’s most experienced medical examiners, Holder said.

Also Monday, Nixon lifted the neighborhood’s midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew two days after it went into effect when he declared a state of emergency. The governor had summoned the National Guard overnight after police again used tear gas to quell protesters.

Nixon said the National Guard troops would be under the direction of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, which is overseeing security during protests.

As darkness fell Monday, National Guard units with armored vehicles were waiting at a staging area about a half-mile

iPads This spring, the Lawrence school board approved the purchase of 125 iPads for each middle school and 600 for the K-12 blended classrooms, Kemble said. It brings the total number of district-purchased iPads to 1,100.

The tablets will allow students to become “content creators and not just content consumers,” Kemble said. Among the benefits of an iPad in the

classroom: Students can shoot and produce their own films.

The school district is also looking into the possibility of fusing robotics with the iPads. Last year, a Lawrence Virtual High School student used a telepresence robot (essentially an iPad on wheels) to attend prom while she was away in California.

WSU considering major expansion

Wichita (ap) — Wichita State University is considering a 20-year, multimillion-dollar proposal to add up to 20 new buildings and increase the size of the campus by about 50 percent.

The plan would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, with much of the money coming from the private sector or donations, along with some state funding, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Bardo wants to break ground in January on an “experiential engineering” building, which he said would provide labs and offices filled with entrepreneurs, students and researchers. They would be connected with business partners, and feature hightech 3-D printers, plasma cutters, high-tech lathes and lasers.

“So many businesses now, instead of doing research and development in-house, are finding that partnerships are more cost effective with universities and sometimes even with other companies,” he said.

Rep. Gene Suellentrop, a Republican from Wichita who controls the House Appropriations Committee, said he was eager to hear what Bardo is proposing, even though he’s seeking millions of dollars from the state in a time of declining revenues.

Coach’s call

Obama tests lame-duck limits

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

We hope Kansas State coach Bill Snyder won’t be the last coach to speak out about the money-driven culture of college athletics.

W

hen Kansas State University coach Bill Snyder talks football, people usually listen.

The respected coach’s recent criticism of college athletics apparently had no impact on an NCAA vote giving increased autonomy to the nation’s five biggest athletic conferences, but his comments nonetheless were refreshing.

When asked about how university athletic programs have bowed to outside interests, such as lucrative TV contracts, Snyder didn’t mince words. “I think we’ve sold out,” he said. “We’re all about dollars and cents. The concept of college football no longer has any bearing on the quality of the person, the quality of students. Universities are selling themselves out.”

It’s not exactly what you expect to hear from such a successful coach, but Snyder, who rebuilt the K-State football program twice, is known for holding his players to a high standard of behavior and academic performance. And despite the fact K-State’s football stadium bears Snyder’s name, he also seems to appreciate the proper role of sports at an academic institution.

“Our professors … I have an office I could swim in. They’re in a cubbyhole somewhere,” he said. “Yet, they go out and teach and promote education every day, and I value that.”

A day after Snyder made his comments, the NCAA board of directors voted to give the nation’s five biggest conferences — Big 12, SEC, Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC — new authority to make their own rules without input from other Division I conferences. The move is expected to further increase spending on college football.

Does the fact that the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium recently underwent a $90 million renovation, with another $65 million in work scheduled after this season, weaken the coach’s point about spending on college athletics? Maybe so, or maybe it offers him the perfect platform to say enough is enough.

Snyder has won 178 games during 22 seasons as the K-State coach. With that kind of record, the 74-year-old Snyder’s job is secure, and he can afford to say what he really thinks even if it doesn’t win him any friends. It takes some guts for any coach to say college athletics has “sold out to the cameras” and “I think we’ve lost sight of what college athletics is all about.”

Right now, it’s all about money. Congratulations to Snyder for being willing to say that.

There are two words every president, including Barack Obama, hates to hear: “lame duck.”

He’s in year six of his eight-year run. His biggest accomplishments are all in the past; his remaining proposals are stymied by Congress. His popularity is mired near 40 percent, and voters tell pollsters they see him as a leader “who can’t get things done.”

No wonder he’s a little sensitive. The president has spent much of the year fending off lame-duckery, insisting that he’s still hard at work, still bent on getting things done. “Let’s pass some bills,” he called out, mock-plaintively, to Congress last month. “It’s lonely, me just doing stuff.”

He announced that 2014 would be a Year of Action — the White House uses capital letters — whether Congress joined in or not.

He hired John Podesta as his counselor, the wily strategist who helped Bill Clinton end his presidency on a high note.

“

Obama hasn’t issued more executive orders than earlier presidents — in fact, he’s issued fewer.”

order in 2012.

Its expansion has long been sought by liberal immigration reform advocates as a humanitarian measure to avoid dividing families that are already in the country.

But the idea has turned out to be more complicated — politically, at least — than it looked at first. The sudden flood of Central American children crossing the border this spring made illegal immigration a hot-button issue for more voters than before.

Even though the border crisis has ebbed, some Democrats worry that a sweeping executive order could cause a backlash that would help Republican Senate candidates in conservative states, such as Arkansas and Louisiana, in the November midterm elections.

“The Latino vote is critical in a presidential election,” a Democratic strategist told me. “But in this election, the conservative Anglo vote is more powerful.” In Arkansas, for example, where Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., faces a tough re-election race, only about 2 percent of voters are Latinos.

ics, Obama is a lame duck on a rampage.

Obama hasn’t issued more executive orders than earlier presidents — in fact, he’s issued fewer. But he’s been unusually blunt in saying that he’ll use executive orders to pursue his aims whenever Congress fails to act, which a divided Congress frequently does.

When Congress wouldn’t raise the federal minimum wage, Obama used an executive order to raise it for federal contractors. When Congress wouldn’t pass legislation on climate change, Obama ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to impose emission limits on power plants.

And with Congress failing again and again to pass an immigration reform law, aides say Obama plans to issue an order later this year to give more immigrants without papers temporary Immigration dilemma Progress not impressive That leaves Obama with permits to stay in the counAnd he issued a prog- try — and even, potentially, a dilemma.

Exceeding authority?

That still leaves the question of whether Obama is exceeding his authority by issuing high-impact executive orders. On immigration, at least, most legal scholars say the law gives the president broad discretion — especially on how to prioritize enforcement efforts, which is how officials are describing Obama’s impending decision.

One White House aide pointed me to an unexpected authority: former Atty.

Gen. Alberto Gonzales, who served under President George W. Bush. “The courts have generally been inclined to defer to the executive’s discretion” when it comes to enforcing immigration laws, Gonzales wrote in USA Today last week.

It will matter, of course, how broad Obama’s order is, and whether it stretches the idea of “deferred action” to create a new category of long-term residency permit.

But it won’t be much of a threat to the Constitution. It will be an executive order, issued in broad daylight. If members of Congress don’t like it, they can pass a law to overturn it.

They can even sue Obama, as House Republicans say they will over the president’s selective implementation of his healthcare law.

Nothing wrong with that.

Leadership lacking

Relationship repair

To the editor: The fix is in! One needs around $50,000 in the bank to earn enough income at current interest rates to fund the city and county tax increases — and also the recycle fees, Black Hills and Westar levies.

Or spend from monthly income, which many will not get an increase in from Social Security or private employment. Only city, county and school district employees get raises each time costs go up.

I am still waiting to know who has profited from the public/private partnership at East Hills. The county taxpayers bought the land and the city taxpayers paid for infrastructure but have your taxes been reduced with the new buildings added to the tax rolls? The land cost $750,000, and who has profited? Lots are selling for $50,000 an acre and the original $750,000 bought 300 acres as I recall.

The taxpayers of Lawrence have not seen property taxes go down even with an expanded tax base. Why expand the tax base if taxes cannot be lowered?

Our leadership is lacking! And now another sales tax. One has to wonder when the Chamber will endorse it even though the current CEO knows full well that a sales tax increase is a bad thing. Let’s see how the Chamber spins the sales tax as a “good thing.”

David Holroyd, Lawrence

To the editor: Reading about the situation in Ferguson, Mo., and the other “relationship” issues in our nation is not very encouraging for those who want to see healing take place in our families, communities, cities, states and nation. We all know that this is just another episode in the life of a nation where the various units are polarized and there doesn’t seem to be any hope for healing. Instead, we just accept it as the “way it is” and hope that it will go away or that it won’t affect us. It will not go away and it does affect us. It will continue to fester until something gives, which usually results in something bad.

I saw the other day a sign in a store downtown which offered a solution to someone who has car or home problems. It said, “I can fix that.” It reminded me of Jesus, because he is the only one who can fix all of the relationship problems we face, individually and collectively.

It’s really easy to blow off this truth but if we get desperate enough and seek his help, he will fix the problem. Psalm 50:15 says it clearly: “Call upon me in the day of trouble and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.” Try this fix, and you will never regret your decision. No problem is too big for Jesus.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Aug. 19, 1914: years “John Rush, who ago is a district attorIN 1914 ney in the city of Denver, arrived in Lawrence about noon over the Union Pacific today. He is making his return to Denver from Europe. ... When interviewed Mr. Rush said that he was due to sail from Liverpool today, the 19th, but when war was declared there was a great crash and everything was in a state of turmoil and the Americans made the exodus from the European countries in the quickest possible time and manner.

Mr. Rush stated today that his return to this country was necessarily made by way of second class passage. Americans are getting out any way possible.

Millionaires are leaving the countries by steerage passage and accepting the poorest of accommodations. He said that in June he visited Germany and France and that the country there at that time was a sight to behold and represented a great military camp. Germany with her million men is reputed to be the best army in Europe and he is interested in the final result of the Germany struggles. ...

feats at the hands of the Islamic State as the extremists took over large parts of northern and western Iraq and sent religious minorities fleeing.

The militants’ battlefield victories brought U.S. forces back into the conflict for the first time since it withdrew its troops in 2011 and reflected the growing international concern about the Sunni extremist group.

Washington launched attacks from its warplanes and drones on Aug. 8.

Had the dam been breached, it could have had catastrophic consequences and endangered U.S. Embassy personnel in Baghdad, Obama said at the White House. He said the U.S. is urgently providing arms and assistance to Iraqi security forces as well as Kurdish fighters fighting the extremists.

Cairo — Egypt late Monday announced a 24-hour extension in talks between Israel and the Hamas militant group aimed at salvaging a long-term arrangement that would allow reconstruction of the Gaza Strip following a monthlong war that killed more than 2,000 people.

The announcement came just minutes before a temporary truce was set to expire at midnight, averting a resumption of the fighting that has caused devastating damage across Gaza and disrupted life throughout southern Israel.

“Palestinians and Israelis agreed on extending the cease-fire by 24 hours to continue current negotiations,” the Egyptian government said in a statement.

Palestinian and Israeli officials confirmed they had accepted Egypt’s request for an extension.

A Palestinian negotiator said the sides had exchanged draft proposals for a long-term truce that were to be addressed during the 24-hour extension in talks.

He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

Since last week, Egypt has been hosting indirect talks between Israel and Hamas aimed at ending the war.

Des Moine, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton will headline a high-profile fundraiser next month in the nation’s first presidential caucus state of Iowa, creating a big campaign splash as Democrats scramble to hold a key Senate seat in November and the former secretary of state considers a campaign of her own in 2016.

Former President Bill Clinton and Mrs. Clinton Clinton will attend retiring Sen. Tom Harkin’s annual steak fry in Indianola on Sept. 14, Iowa Democrats said Monday.

It will be the former first lady’s first appearance in Iowa since 2008 when she finished a disappointing third in the state’s presidential caucuses.

Clinton has urged Democrats to mobilize for November’s midterm elections and party officials said she would likely appear at other events around the country to help the party’s major fundraising committees.

Cost to raise child in 2013? $245K Washington — A message for new parents: get ready for sticker shock.

A child born in 2013 will cost a middle-income American family an average of $245,340 until he or she reaches the age of 18, with families living in the Northeast taking on a greater burden, according to a report out Monday. And that doesn’t include college — or expenses if a child lives at home after age 17.

Those costs that are included — food, housing, childcare and education — rose 1.8 percent over the previous year, the Agriculture Department’s new “Expenditures on Children and Families” report said. As in the past, families in the urban Northeast will spend more than families in the urban South and rural parts of the U.S., or roughly $282,480.

When adjusting for projected inflation, the report found that a child born last year could cost a middle-income family an average of about $304,480.

Baghdad — Iraqi and Kurdish forces recaptured Iraq’s largest dam from Islamic militants Monday following dozens of U.S. airstrikes, President Barack Obama said, in the first major defeat for the exObama tremists since they swept across the country this summer.

Militants from the Islamic State group had seized the Mosul Dam on Aug. 7, giving them access and control of enormous power and water reserves and threatening to deny those resources to much of Iraq.

Iraqi forces suffered a string of humiliating de-

security interest in making sure our people are protected and in making sure that a savage group that seems willing to slaughter people for no rhyme or reason other than they have not kowtowed — that a group like that is contained, because ultimately it can pose a threat to us,” Obama told reporters.

He also urged the badly fractured and largely dysfunctional Iraqi government to move quickly to forge a united front. He noted last week’s decision by Nouri al-Maliki to step down as Iraq’s prime minister, a move that raised hopes a new government could roll back Iraq’s powerful Sunni insurgency and prevent the country from splitting apart.

“They’ve got to get this done because the wolf’s at the door,” Obama said.

DONORS ARE MORE LIKELY to donate corneas; there are about 40,000 cornea transplants every year in the United States.

Cornea replacements help patients see clearly soon after surgery

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @gilesbruce

Lawrence accountant Janet Mears can see clearly now — thanks to the generosity of two organ donors.

Last year, after a hereditary condition left her vision severely impaired, Mears had both of her corneas replaced. But even though corneas are one of the most common organs to be donated, they are also one of the least publicized.

There are about 40,000

cornea transplants in the United States every year.

While a lot of attention goes toward kidney, heart and liver transplants, donors are more likely to pass along their corneas than they are any of those other organs combined.

The cornea is the clear tissue that covers the front of the eye and helps with focus; if light can no longer enter through it, the person’s vision becomes blurry.

“The cornea is like a clear windshield on the front of the eye, so if

“The cornea is interesting, because the eye is in kind of an immuneprotected location.”

it’s cloudy you can’t see through it,” said Dr. Michael Mulhern, an ophthalmologist at Lawrence

Eye Care Associates.

Leading causes for cornea transplants include Fuchs’ dystrophy, a disorder that causes the cornea to swell over time and can lead to blurred vision; keratoconus, a degenerative condition in which the cornea thins and becomes misshapen; and scarring from cataract surgery or other injuries.

“It’s usually very successful in clearing things up,” Mulhern said of transplant surgery. “The cornea is interesting, be-

cause the eye is in kind of an immune-protected location, so there’s not as much rejection as there is in other kinds of organ transplants.”

He added that the recovery time is generally weeks to months, with vision continuing to improve over time.

Mears, 52, first started noticing vision problems after she underwent chemotherapy for breast cancer in 2008. She used glasses to correct her vision until they no longer Please see CORNEA, page 2B

Prostate gland plays key role in men’s health

By Aynsley Anderson Special to the Journal-World

Prostate glands — most men have them, but what are they?

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines the prostate as a gland that makes semen, the fluid that contains sperm.

The prostate surrounds the tube that carries urine away from the bladder and out of the body.

The NIH notes that a young man’s prostate is about the size

that are not cancer related. One of the most common is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

This issue means that the prostate is enlarged but is not cancerous. It is very common in older men. An enlarged prostate may make it very difficult to urinate or cause dribbling after urination. It also causes men to urinate often, especially at night.

Common prostate health BPH may be treated in a variety issues of ways, ranging from the “wait There are a few common and see” method to surgical inprostate issues men experience tervention. of a walnut and slowly grows larger with age. If it gets too large, it can cause problems.

This is very common after age 50. The older men get, the more likely they are to have prostate trouble. An enlarged prostate can be caused by cancer, but many men have an enlarged prostate and do not have cancer.

The National Cancer Institute calls prostate cancer the most common nonskin cancer among men in the United States. The good news about prostate cancer is that although the number of men with prostate cancer is large, most men diagnosed with this disease do not die from it.

There is some debate, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the following are the most common risk

That’s not surprising given that she’s 10 months old, but all the same I’d really like to protect her vision when we go for walks on hot summer days and the sun is beating down on us.

Since I’m worried about this, I figured there are probably a few other things I should know about protecting my daughter’s sight. So I reached out to Dr. N. Marie Koederitz, who recently opened a practice in Lawrence specializing in kids’ vision health, called Sunflower Pediatric Eye Care & Strabismus, or SPECS. Here are a few tips she gave me: 1. Get your kid’s eyes checked often if your family has a history of vision issues, such as eyes crossing or poor vision on one side.

2. If you notice your child’s eyes crossing or drifting, this could be a sign of strabismus, or misalignment of the eyes.

“Some kids just need glasses and that straightens their eyes, and some need other services or treatments,” Koederitz said.

3. Do a photo screening of your kiddo’s eyes once a year.

“At least until they’re old enough to do a visual acuity test and identity pictures, letters and numbers,” she said.

“That way you can catch eye conditions early and treat them early, and prevent blindness or

Depression diagnosis takes time, professional experience Wes: According to the National Institute of Mental Health 11 percent of teens have been diagnosed with a depressive disorder by age 18. Yet many families still imagine their kids can’t be affected by depression, leaving many undiagnosed and untreated. It’s easy to get indignant and wonder what’s wrong with those blissfully ignorant parents. Let’s not.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, clinical depression is among the most difficult disorders to accurately assess in children and teens.

Given the complex array of emotions most teens experience, it can be hard even for mental health providers to pick out which teens are depressed and which are just going through the necessary emotional upheaval of normal growth and development. For the untrained parent’s eye, depression is even harder to recognize,

helped. Last year, the blurriness got so bad surgery became a necessity.

The procedures were performed by Dr. Timothy Cavanaugh of Overland Park, one of the region’s leading providers of cornea transplants. He used a newer surgery that replaces only the diseased layers of the cornea rather than the whole thing. This allows for a faster recovery time and doesn’t require stitches. After each transplant, Mears had to lay flat on her back for two days while the replacement layers adhered to the rest of her cornea.

Mears handled the first surgery well. A few months after her second transplant, however, her body started to reject the new cornea. She knew something was wrong when she woke up one day and it looked like there

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Kyra Haas particularly if kids aren’t very open about how they’re feeling. Moreover, symptoms may not manifest themselves in the same way for kids as they do for adults, and they’re often secondary to conditions like anxiety, ADHD and mood dysregulation disorders.

For teens, a one-time psychiatric evaluation, drop-in doctor’s appointment and a bottle of pills isn’t usually a great way to approach this problem. It takes a lot of fairly deep and at times,

was gauze covering her eye. She had to get an antirejection shot and go back to using the more powerful eye drops she needed after surgery; she has to put two drops in that eye every day for the rest of her life (as well as one in the other).

Almost a year after her last transplant, Mears said her distance vision is good but that her near vision is actually worse than before the surgery. So she uses triplestrength reading glasses when she’s on the computer at work.

If anything, the two procedures have reinforced for Mears the importance of organ donation. Not only did her late father have a cornea transplant, but her brother once had to get a new heart. “Out of my immediate family, three of six family members have needed some sort of organ transplant,� she said. “It’s something that has a lot of meaning to me now, and I try to encourage it as much as possible.�

probing conversation in a relaxed and trusting environment to figure out what’s what. So, except in the most exigent circumstances (e.g., risk of suicide), start by finding an outpatient therapist.

If things don’t improve after a few weeks, NIMH and every adolescent and psychological professional association agree that a combination of therapy and medication is the next step.

If things are more severe or if they start to get that way, I now recommend intensive outpatient therapy (IOP), an approach that increases the number of hours per week that the client is seen for four to six weeks. Awakenings, Dr. Maria Davila’s program, is new and (thankfully) now available in Lawrence.

Inpatient hospitalization is an extreme, but occasionally necessary, next step in preventing self-harm. It’s rarely a good experience for teens,

factors for the disease: l Age: The older a man is, the greater his risk for getting prostate cancer. l Family history: Certain genes inherited from parents may affect prostate cancer risk. A man with a father, brother or son who has had prostate cancer is two to three times more likely to develop the disease himself. l Race: Prostate cancer is more common in some racial and ethnic groups than in others, but medical experts do not know why.

Trusted health professionals differ on their recommendations for who should undergo prostate cancer screenings and

but for those who cannot make and keep a self-harm safety plan, it can be a lifesaving option.

Kyra: According to research, the average age of onset for teen depression is between 13 and 15. According to parents everywhere, the average age of onset for “moody teenager� is about the same. So, Wes is right, distinguishing between the two can be difficult.

Here’s what you need to know to try and sort out the differences: l Know the signs: There are numerous symptoms of teen depression, including a loss of interest in activities; a belief that life is meaningless; self-deprecating behavior; poor performance in school; and significant changes in weight or appetite. The more of these that show up, the more likely that depression is the cause. l Friends matter: As Wes notes, teens aren’t always willing to share how they feel with their

parents. That’s why friends can make the critical impact when a teen starts hitting bottom.

You might feel like a snitch, but if your friend isn’t cheering up or joking around like he or she used to, tell somebody.

That somebody can be your friend’s parent, a school counselor or another trusted adult. l Know the risks: Untreated depression can lead to or perpetuate negative behaviors. Depressed teens are more likely to exhibit anxiety, substance abuse, self-mutilation or eating disorders. They are also more likely to commit suicide, particularly if their depression leans toward the bipolar spectrum.

Know the difference: Depression isn’t just feeling bummed occasionally. That happens with everyone. Keeping with a tried and true clichÊ, teenage moods are like an emotional roller coaster — up and down at a moment’s notice. But

“The older a man is, the greater his risk for getting prostate cancer. Family history also plays a part; certain genes inherited from parents may affect prostate cancer risk. Race also is a factor, although experts do not know why.

when. Before considering a screening it is important to talk to a healthcare provider. If a screening is recommended, there are two common options including: Digital rectal exam.

During this screening a doctor or nurse inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to estimate the size of the prostate and feel for lumps or other abnormalities.

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test. This test measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made by the prostate. The levels of PSA in the blood can be higher in men who have prostate cancer. The PSA level also may be elevated in other conditions that affect the prostate.

Organic: Do the best you can (and don’t mess with beer) Corn syrup. Red dye 40. Pesticides. These are just a few of the things that I’m not supposed to be feeding my kids. Add to that shredded cheese, non-organic milk and Froot Loops. If you’re paying attention to what the nutrition experts are saying, you probably have plenty more to add to the list of no-no foods.

The list is long. Very, very long.

These days it seems that almost everything I hand my kids is guilt inducing for one reason or another. The food experts say almost everything is full of cancercausing GMOs or some other crazy chemical that’s banned in Europe.

It’s so frustrating.

No trail mix. No Kraft mac & cheese. No Cheerios. No Starbucks.

vision issues when they’re older.�

4. If you see your little one squinting when trying to look at a faraway object, he may be nearsighted and need glasses.

5. Encourage your youngster to play outside and get away from TV and computer screens. “There are some studies that show that kids that have more outside play time have less risk of needing glasses. They may be less nearsighted later on,� she said.

6. If your child has chronic tearing or an eye infection, it may be the result of a clogged tear duct.

7. Protect your kid’s eyes from the sun. “This limits UV light exposure, which may, as they grow older, contribute to cataracts and macular degeneration,�

Koederitz noted.

8. Feed your child lots of fruits and vegetables, which are good for vision health.

9. Make sure your little one wears eye protection while playing sports. “I think every kid should be wearing protective eyewear, but I know as a mom it’s hard to make them do it,� she said. “For my three boys, baseball is the only sport I can get them to wear eyewear consistently.�

As for my baby and her disdain for those cute, pink sunglasses her mother and I bought her, the doctor said to be persistent. “I think a lot of it is just consistency: to try every time they go out,� she asserted. Or Koederitz recommended some alternative sunprotection devices, like Baby Banz sunglasses that wrap around infants’ heads, stroller covers, or hats (which my daughter also seems to have trouble keeping on). I’ve since started walking Lily in her other, cheaper stroller — an umbrella model — that has an adjustable canopy I can put in front of her eyes when she’s facing the sun.

If you have concerns about your child’s eye health, contact SPECS, 346 Maine St., Suite 400, at 856-7732.

Larryville Mom

Megan Spreer These were all things I needed to avoid to get away from GMOs, pesticides and harmful dyes according to the few experts I was following.

For a couple of weeks, I read these things and tried my best to follow their recommendations.

I did a great job at first.

We bought the organic stuff at Aldi, I replaced our chicken nuggets with veggie bites (which I

ended up eating because they’re delicious), and I replaced the Cheerios in our pantry with some organic O’s that tasted like cardboard. I did everything I could afford.

It was still expensive. I spent our entire month’s grocery budget in one trip. And some of it was really hard to sell my kids. “Here HJ! Check out this yummy homemade mac & cheese that Mommy spent two hours making! Isn’t it delicious?� “It’s yucky. Where’s the box?�

It was maddening to spend three times the amount of time cooking, five times the money, and ultimately throw it away.

I get that our food system has evolved to become atrocious. I get

that food corporations are trying to maximize profits at the sake of our health. I even get that I’ve already broken my children for nutritious eating‌.and that’s my fault.

But why does almost all of the good food have to cost so much? Why does eating healthy seem to be something that only the wealthy get to comfortably enjoy?

On one hand we have corporate America trying to sell us bright packages of processed corn for pennies. Then, on the other hand, we have the experts telling us to buy only natural, organic food...that costs five times as much.

Either way, someone is profiting. And it’s not me.

I’m going broke trying to feed my family food they don’t like.

Then the day came when I decided enough was enough. One of the experts on my Facebook News Feed came out with a list of beer you should avoid. Beer. As if we’re drinking beer to benefit our health. Lady, I couldn’t care less if the hops in my Newcastle are pesticide free. The alcohol is taking care of my liver on it’s own. I mean, really?

We’re really going there?

Please! “Drink this poison.

Not that one. That one is using the wrong kind of ingredients.� Get outta here.

I was done. I felt like I was totally a sheep. She had an agenda or maybe a “sponsor,� I’m almost sure of it.

So now we have a new food plan: our own. We eat fruits and vegetables.

We eat chicken, fish and

even red meat. There are even times we still eat Froot Loops. But, we do it all in moderation. If we have waffles for breakfast today, tomorrow, we’ll have oatmeal mixed with applesauce. If an organic item at the store fits our budget that week, we’ll buy it. If it doesn’t, I’m not going to stress about it.

After all, until I can grow, harvest, prepare, and cook everything we eat myself (Ha! Like that will EVER happen), I’m just going to have to do my best.

But to all you experts, stay away from my beer. That poison is delicious, GMOs or not. —Social media specialist Megan Spreer writes the Larryville Mom blog for WellCommons.com.

KU hoops offers Eudora’s Ballock

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Eudora High sophomore combo guard Mitchell Ballock, who led the Cardinals to the Class 4A-II state championship last March and starred at this summer’s Stephen Curry camp in California, has been offered a scholarship to play basketball at Kansas University.

“Very excited,” the

6-foot-4 Ballock told the Journal-World on Monday night after receiving the offer on his parents’ 30th wedding anniversary.

He added that he has “no time frame. I have a long time (to make decision on a school).”

Ballock, a left-handed sharpshooter, has received offers from KU, Creighton and Iowa State. It’s expected that before long he will

be offered by all the major colleges in the country.

“I kind of knew it was coming, but I was surprised when it (KU offer) happened,” he told JayhawkSlant.com.

Ballock won a three-point shooting contest from the NBA line and was recognized with the “best shooter” award at the end of the Curry camp, which was for 20 of the top high school

guards in the country and a couple from overseas. It was invitation-only.

He averaged more than 20 points a game for state champ Eudora High last season.

“Kansas fans, I hate to get you too excited,” ESPN basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla tweeted from the Curry camp, “but … Eudora soph, Mitch (Ballock) put on a shooting show at @Ste-

His 16th birthday was the final day of the camp.

Sub Kratz keeps K.C. rolling

Kansas moves tight end to tackle

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Monday’s Kansas University football practice produced the first significant position change of the 2014 season.

Third-year sophomore Jordan Shelley-Smith, a tight end from Waco, Texas, spent Monday working with the offensive line, and it looks as if the shift is permanent.

Shelley-Smith wore jersey No. 79 — his old number was 87 — and spent a good chunk of his time working at right tackle with assistant coach John Reagan and the rest of the offensive linemen.

Judging by his effort in Monday’s practice and his postings on socialmedia sites, ShelleySmith seems to have embraced the Shelley-Smith move.

“Excited to announce that I will be following in my dad’s footsteps playing offensive tackle,” he wrote on both Facebook and Twitter on Monday evening.

Listed at 245 pounds in this year’s media guide, the 6-foot5 son of former NFL offensive lineman Dennis Smith (New York Jets and Washington Redskins) is up to 260 pounds and, with his big frame and ability to gain weight quickly, appears more suited for the line than tight end.

Though it remains to be seen whether his switch will pan out as well, Shelley-Smith’s position change brings to mind thoughts of former Jayhawk Tanner Hawkinson, who entered the program as a tight end out of McPherson High and left as a highly decorated offensive lineman picked in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals.

LAWRENCE HIGH RUNNING BACK J.D. WOODS PARTICIPATES in the first day of fall practice Monday at LHS.

Heat greets prep practices

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

The first day of preseason practices for high school fall sports teams opened with a lot of heat, but that didn’t put a damper on any enthusiasm for the upcoming season.

Lawrence High’s football team didn’t need much time to ease back into an energetic atmosphere, as the Lions are motivated by last year’s losses despite the temperatures rising in the 90s.

“It’s a great group,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said. “They

came ready to practice. I think (last season’s) 3-6 (record) left a bad taste in their mouth, and they want to do something special.”

The Lions had high participation numbers throughout Please see PREPS, page 3C

Minneapolis (ap) — Erik Kratz had played in only five games for Kansas City since being acquired from Toronto in a trade on July 28.

But the big guy always stayed ready, and that discipline paid off Monday night to keep the Royals rolling.

Kratz homered twice after replacing an ailing Salvador Perez, and Jason Vargas pitched seven strong innings to lead the first-place Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

“You put your work in before the game as a bench guy to be ready to go in,” Kratz said. “Some people could say well, Salvy plays every day, so why not take a day off? In my opinion, what’s the point of taking a day off if that might be the day you come in and play?”

Vargas (10-5) allowed one run on four this and struck out three, but had his scoreless innings streak snapped at 17 when Oswaldo Arcia hit a solo homer in the seventh. Perez had two hits and two RBIs before leaving in the seventh because of discomfort in his right knee, helping the Royals win for the 21st time in 26 games.

Kansas City extended its lead over the idle Detroit Tigers in the AL Central to two games.

Trevor May (0-2) gave up three runs on seven hits and walked four in 42⁄3 innings for the Twins.

When Perez left, Kratz came in as a pinch hitter and broke his bat on a pitch from Anthony Swarzak, but still managed to muscle it over the wall in left field for a 4-0 lead. Kratz added a solo shot to center in the ninth for his first multihomer game.

The drives proved even more important when Trevor Plouffe hit a three-run homer off Aaron Crow in the ninth inning.

Bizarre foot injury sidelines Charles Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Jamaal Charles made it through every hit from Derrick Johnson, every shot from Eric Berry and every tackle from the rest of the Chiefs’ defense during three weeks at Missouri Western.

It wasn’t until he was leaving their training camp home that he got hurt.

Charles was in the process of moving out of the dorms last Thursday, as the team was getting ready to shift the rest of camp to their own practice facility, when he came to a grassy slope. He wound up slipping just a bit and turned his foot just enough to set alarm bells ringing.

X-rays and MRI exams ensued, and Charles did not make the trip to Carolina for Sunday night’s preseason game against the Panthers. And while all the tests came back negative, coach Andy Reid said Monday that he’s unsure just how long the explosive running back will be out.

“He’s feeling better today.

We’re optimistic about it,” Reid said. “Initially there was a little concern, but he had all stuff done to it and everything is clear.”

Reid did not say whether Charles will practice this week, or whether he’ll be available when the Chiefs host the Minnesota Vikings for their third preseason game Saturday night.

“I don’t know if there is any other guy in the league like him.

You can’t replace him,” Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said, “but that’s the NFL. It’s every team. If a guy goes down, the next guy has to step up and we got to go. We all have to take up the slack as a group.”

The health of Charles is hardly the only cause for concern in Kansas City these days.

The Chiefs’ offense has failed to score a touchdown on eight series spanning two preseason games, netting only a pair of field goals against the Panthers.

That production was clearly hurt by the loss of Charles, who is arguably the most valuable player on the entire roster.

The defense has continued to give up big plays, particularly in the downfield passing game against a secondary that is still missing Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry to his own injury. Carolina put up two touchdowns apiece in the second and third quarters on Sunday night.

Fundamentals remain problematic. And the yellow laundry that littered the field did little to make Reid feel good about discipline — Kansas City was flagged 13 times for 131 yards.

“Really, penalties were a significant issue,” Reid said.

“We’ve got to a better job.”

Of course, not everything is doom and gloom with two preseason games remaining.

The pass rush was effective in getting after Carolina quarterback Cam Newton, and it already appears that first-round pick Dee Ford will fit seamlessly with fellow outside linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston. And kicker Ryan Succop, being pushed by Cairo Santos, may have solidified his job by kicking a 54-yard field goal against the Panthers.

NEW LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS OWNER STEVE BALLMER, CENTER, APPLAUDS while watching a video presentation at the Clippers Fan Festival on Monday in Los Angeles.

Fired-up Ballmer leads cheers for Clippers Los Angeles — Sweating, clapping and shouting until he was nearly hoarse, Steve Ballmer introduced himself to Los Angeles Clippers fans at a rally on Monday celebrating his new ownership of the NBA team.

The former Microsoft CEO made his way through the crowd inside Staples Center to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” exchanging highfives and chest-bumping as he took the stage in front of 4,500 fans.

Ballmer paid a record $2 billion for the team in a sale that was confirmed by a judge last week.

The name of disgraced former owner Donald Sterling, who controlled the team for 33 years before being banned for life by the NBA for racist remarks, was never uttered during the rally.

“We’re looking forward,” Ballmer proclaimed, having removed his blue Clippers hat. “Everything is about looking forward.”

Ballmer’s fervor was in stark contrast to Sterling, who never spoke to the media and was famously frugal when it came to spending on the team during decades of losing — despite having amassed a fortune through real estate.

“Today is about this other guy who just happened to have two billion dollars in his pocket,” coach Doc Rivers joked on stage. “I asked him are you sure it went through and he said, ‘I know my bank account is minus two billion so I know something went through.’”

Ballmer gave out his email address during the televised rally and was quick to assure fans he won’t move the team to Seattle, where he’s lived for 34 years. He was nearly an NBA owner last year before league owners chose to keep the Kings in Sacramento, rather than allow them to be sold to a group that included Ballmer and moved to Seattle.

Richardson opened 2013 as the starter. But he struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness, and Rohach started the final four games for the Cyclones.

Richardson, who finished with 1,397 yards passing and 11 TDs last season, took advantage of the fresh start provided by new coordinator Mark Mangino to reclaim the starting job.

The Cyclones, who were 3-9 in 2013, open against defending FCS champion North Dakota State on Aug. 30.

Even though Richardson will open the season as the starter for the second straight year, he appeared to be behind Rohach until just a few weeks ago.

Rohach led the Cyclones to wins over Kansas and West Virginia to close out 2013 — including the biggest comeback in school history to beat the Mountaineers on the road. Rohach built on that momentum in spring practice and appeared to be well ahead of Richardson following the spring game.

OU suspends freshman RB Norman, Okla. — Oklahoma has suspended freshman running back Joe Mixon for the season after he pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of assault.

Mixon is accused of knocking a woman unconscious with a punch and breaking several bones in her face last month.

The release said school President David Boren accepted the recommendation of athletic director Joe Castiglione and coach Bob Stoops. Mixon will be excluded from all team activities and removed from the team roster.

COLLEGES COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Duke TE out for season Durham, N.C. — Duke says tight end Braxton Deaver will miss the season after tearing a knee ligament.

Team officials said Deaver injured his right anterior cruciate ligament Monday.

Coach David Cutcliffe says the Blue Devils will “miss his presence on the field” but that “the priorities with Braxton right now shift to his health and spirit.”

Deaver was one of the top targets for quarterback Anthony Boone. The fifth-year senior was the returning starter at tight end and caught 46 passes for 600 yards with four touchdowns last season.

Deaver is the second key player from the defending Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division champions who has been lost for the season with a torn ACL. Senior linebacker Kelby Brown tore his left ACL during a scrimmage last week.

Ohio State QB hurts shoulder Columbus, Ohio — Two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year Braxton Miller, considered among the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy, reportedly reinjured his throwing shoulder in practice Monday.

ISU to start Richardson Ames, Iowa — Iowa State has named junior Sam Richardson its starting quarterback.

Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that Richardson emerged as the starter over Grant Rohach.

MAC, ESPN agree for 13 years The Mid-American Conference has agreed to a new 13-year contract with ESPN, a person familiar with the deal told the Associated Press.

The agreement gives the network all television distribution rights to the league’s football games through the 2026-27 season.

The MAC has three years left on its current eight-year deal with ESPN that pays the conference about $1 million per year.

NFL

Simms, Dungy: no ‘Redskins’ New York — Two influential NFL voices — including CBS lead analyst Phil Simms, who will handle Washington’s Week 4 game — said Monday they likely won’t use the term “Redskins” when discussing the franchise.

“My very first thought is it will be Washington the whole game,” Simms told the Associated Press on Monday.

Simms will work the Thursday night package the network acquired this season and will have Giants-Redskins on Sept. 25. He isn’t taking sides in the debate over whether Washington’s nickname is offensive or racist. But he says he is sensitive to the complaints about the name, and his instincts now are to not use Redskins in his announcing.

His broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, says it is “not my job to take a stance.”

NBC’s Tony Dungy, one of the most prominent voices in the league as a Super Bowl-winning coach and now as a studio commentator, plans to take the same route as Simms.

“I will personally try not to use Redskins and refer to them as Washington,” Dungy said in an email. “Personal opinion for me, not the network.”

Ex-Jayhawk White surfaces at Nebraska Monday after White announced his plans to transfer to NU. “Andrew has been involved in the elite levels of high school, AAU, and college basketball, and that will continue with the Huskers,” Miles added.

White, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound junior-to-be from Richmond, Virginia, who also visited Maryland, Notre Dame and Richmond after announcing plans to leave KU last spring, already feels a connection with his new coach.

“I think this staff was the most personally invested in my success,” said White, who was recruited by current NU assistant Kenya Hunter when Hunter was at Georgetown and White White at Miller School in Chester, Virginia.

“There was a comfort level with the coaches and players, and I just

think they believe in my ability to play ball.”

White averaged 2.3 points and 1.2 rebounds a game in limited duty his sophomore season.

He hit 44 percent of his shots. He hit three threes and scored 13 points in 14 minutes against Towson and had 12 (three threes) versus Louisiana Monroe.

“My main objective with this decision is to win, be a great teammate and good student, but I want to show people I am a very good player,” White told the J-W. “I’m looking forward to putting myself

in a situation where my team goes to the next level and so can I.” White’s brother, Andrien, is an unranked 6-foot senior point guard at Thomas Dale High in Chester, Virginia, who will either land a mid-major or major-college offer this season.

“I’ve been working with him all summer,” Andrew said. “Not being in summer school and being home gave me the ability to make most strides on the court and him also. I left school three months ago. I’m not the same player I was when

I left Kansas. That’s what I really embrace going into my next school. I have to sit out a year, which will be a big development year.

I have the potential to do some really good things if I keep making the strides I have.”

Of Andrien’s situation, Andrew said, “The best opportunity for him to play and have a good career is for a school to want him by himself as opposed to us in a package. If Nebraska is interested in him, it’d be cool to have brothers at a school together,” Andrew said.

summer practices, and after those ended, they stayed in shape as the team’s seniors led practices over the past week.

“I’m so pleased,” Wedd said of the senior class.

“They’re few in numbers, and they’ve had no success, but they really have done a good job of being leaders today and then all summer. I couldn’t ask any more from them.”

Free State High’s football team returned to the gridiron after a nearly three-week break from the end of summer workouts. FSHS coach Bob Lisher said he hoped to see the seniors who took a leadership role this summer on the field and in the weight room take an even bigger role as the season approaches.

“I’m pleased with what they’ve done through the summer,” Lisher said.

“As a group, they worked hard. Now they’ve got to understand they’re the senior leaders this year, and as soon as they understand it better, things should start happening.”

However, the first day didn’t go without a few hiccups.

Nearly 20 Free State football players couldn’t practice because they didn’t have the necessary paperwork completed.

“It’s great to help the team out when you do get in there for any bench guy,” Kratz said.

Greg Holland came on for his 38th save in 40 tries. Josh Willingham had three hits and Alex Gordon and Billy Butler each had two for the Royals, who have won eight straight series for the first time since 1991.

May made his majorleague debut on Aug. 9, and it was a rough one. He walked seven batters in two innings and gave up four runs. He breezed through four innings of his home debut, but walked the bases loaded in the fifth.

Perez followed with a two-run single and Butler added an RBI single to give the Royals a 3-0 lead.

That was enough for Vargas, who has dominated the Twins this season.

He retired 10 in a row from the second through sixth.

don’t get a lot of opportunities like that every day.”

Mitchell, who scored 40 points in his first high school game, totaled 20 points, while his brother, Andrew, scored 19 in Eudora’s 71-58 state-title victory over Scott City in March in Park City. It

was the first state hoops title in Eudora history.

Andrew, a senior on last year’s team, is a freshman scholarship player at Missouri Southern, where he will play for former KU players Jeff Boschee (head coach) and Nick Bradford (assistant).

“We try to spend a lot of time looking at combinations, kids who work well together,” Hopkins said. “Like I told them when I was talking to them before we even started, I look at attitude.

People who are willing to listen to the coaches, do what the coach says, encourages their teammates and don’t roll their eyes or that kind of stuff.”

Volleyball Lawrence High volleyball opened tryouts with a conditioning test before heading into the gym to work on passing and serves. If the summer served as an indicator, the Lions are ready for the season to begin.

“Oh, I was extremely happy,” LHS coach Stephanie Magnuson said. “I was most impressed with the leadership over the course of the summer. A lot of our seniors were present for the majority of the events throughout the summer and really set the bar for everyone else.”

Magnuson will have to make about a dozen cuts,

Boys soccer Free State boys soccer coach Kelly Barah is thrilled to have nearly 80 athletes trying out for the team this year, but that also means he will have to make a lot of cuts.

“It’s one of the things as

a coach you really don’t want to do, but for a cut sport, you have to do it,” Barah said. “It is absolutely brilliant and satisfying that kids want to be involved in the program, and so I would like not to have to cut anybody, but it’s just the nature of the sport.”

FSHS and Lawrence High had everyone go through timed conditioning tests while also working on drills on the field.

LHS coach Mike Murphy said he expects a high level of competition in tryouts as players fight not only for varsity spots, but starting roles.

“We had, on average, 40 guys out here on each (summer day),” Murphy said. “For the most part, I liked the numbers, and I liked the work ethic from most guys, particularly the upperclassmen, who worked really hard.”

Hawkinson in 2008 entered the KU program at 6-5, 230 pounds, ranked as the third-best player in Kansas and 23rd-best tight end nationally. He currently is listed at 6-5, 300 and is about to begin his second season with the Bengals.

Shelley-Smith in 2012 came to Kansas at 6-5, 220, after earning first-team all-state honors during his senior season of high school. His life in football has included stints at every offensive position. In Pee Wee football, he played lineman. In middle school, he was a running back. In high school, he played tight end, wide receiver and even quarterback.

Shelley-Smith’s move away from tight end leaves the Jayhawks with three eligible scholarship players at the position heading into the upcoming season. Senior Jimmay Mundine, who is almost fully recovered from a minor surgery to clean up his injured knee that was locking up on him, is the clear-cut starter, while senior Trent Smiley, a blocking tight end with game

experience, and red-shirt freshman Ben Johnson, of Basehor-Linwood High, provide depth.

With Mundine and Smiley out of eligibility after this season, the future of the position rests with Johnson and former University of Florida tight end Kent Taylor, a 6-5, 230-pound athlete who transferred to KU this offseason. Taylor will redshirt the 2014 season while sitting out in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.

Meanwhile, ShelleySmith’s addition to the offensive line gives Reagan and KU coach Charlie Weis another promising prospect with good athleticism and strength and the potential to add as much as 40 or 50 more pounds to his frame.

Tested in high school at 4.7 seconds in the 40yard dash and 32 inches in the vertical-jump test, Shelley-Smith’s move to the offensive line not only makes him an intriguing project but also backs up the words he uttered prior to signing with KU in 2012.

“Once I sign that paper, I’m theirs,” he told the Journal-World in an interview prior to signing.

“And they’ll do what they think is best for me. I’m open to everything.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Nats edge D’backs in extras The Associated Press

National League Nationals 5, D-backs 4 Washington — Adam LaRoche hit a game-winning solo home run with two outs in the 11th inning to help Washington beat Arizona on Monday night for its seventh straight win.

It was the third walkoff win in three days for NL-East-leading Washington.

LaRoche sent a 3-1 pitch from Will Harris (03) off the wall in the back of the Nationals bullpen and was mobbed by his teammates at home plate.

Winning pitcher Craig Stammen (3-4) pitched out of a bases-loaded, noouts jam in the top of the inning.

Arizona tied it 4-4 when David Peralta led off the ninth with a solo homer off Tyler Clippard.

Washington trailed 3-2 when Denard Span doubled with one out in the eighth against Brad Ziegler, and Anthony Rendon followed with a triple to tie it. Jayson Werth then scored Rendon with a sacrifice fly.

Miguel Montero had three hits for Arizona.

Rookie Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 18 games.

Arizona had taken the lead in the top of the eighth.

Jake Lamb drew a leadoff walk off Jordan Zimmermann, and Didi Gregorius sent a 3-2 fastball into the Nationals bullpen for his fifth home run.

Wilson Ramos had given Washington a 2-1 lead with a two-run homer off Arizona starter Vidal Nuno in the seventh.

Nuno, winless in eight starts with the Diamondbacks, pitched well, allowing two runs and five hits over seven innings.

Zimmermann went seven-plus innings, allowing three runs on four hits. His three walks were a season-high.

He faced the minimum through four innings thanks to a pair of double plays.

Cubs 4, Mets 1 New York — Kyle Hendricks and two relievers held New York to four or fewer hits for the fifth straight game, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez homered, and the Chicago Cubs rallied for a victory over the Mets.

Hendricks (5-1) gave up just three hits in seven innings, allowing only Lucas Duda’s home run in the fourth. The rookie right-hander won his fourth straight start — yielding four earned runs over 291⁄3 innings.

Neil Ramirez struck out two in a perfect eighth, and Hector Rondon allowed a leadoff double but finished the four-hitter for his 18th save.

Braves 7, Pirates 3 Pittsburgh — Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons homered to begin a six-run first inning, and Atlanta beat sliding Pittsburgh for its fourth consecutive victory.

The early outburst was enough for Ervin Santana, who allowed three solo homers among nine hits in 51⁄3 innings. Santana (13-6) improved to 8-1 over his past 10 starts.

Pittsburgh has lost six in a row. Starling Marte went deep twice, and Neil Walker added a homer that became the first to reach the Allegheny River beyond right field at PNC Park this season.

Parent worries for son claiming to see paranormal Dear Annie: My 5-year-old son has been claiming to see the paranormal. I’m sure part of it is just his imagination. But sometimes he describes in great detail people and even pets who have died. He mainly claims to see a cousin he never met but whom he can describe accurately. Sometimes, he will sit up in bed and start talking to a wall, saying he is talking to his cousin.

Now he says he can see someone else. He isn’t sure who it is, but it frightens him. My son won’t even walk past the bedroom door without me or another adult with him and the bedroom light on.

We don’t let him watch scary movies or anything like that. Is it possible that he is really seeing these things?

I’ve mentioned it to a

Dear Annie: A couple in our social circle have developed a disgusting habit in recent years, and no one knows how to approach them about it.

These people blow their noses at the dinner table every time they sit down and then return their dirty tissues to their pockets and carry on eating. This is not a dab at the end of the nose. It’s an emptythe-sinus kind of thing.

These people are well educated with good jobs.

I’m sure they would be devastated if we said something, but it has reached the point where we no longer accept dinner invitations if we know they will be there, because this nose blowing turns our stomachs.
