LAWRENCE POLICE INVESTIGATE THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE THAT WAS BLOCKING OHIO STREET, north of 14th Street, as KU students line up to enter the Jayhawk Cafe on Aug. 27. Police arrested the driver and searched the vehicle. As the school year begins, the Lawrence Police Department has to rearrange its priorities to keep the new influx of students safe during the year.

As Lawrence awakens from its summertime slumber to welcome back Kansas University students who returned to campus last week, the Lawrence Police Department is strategizing on how to keep up with the increase in population.

While the general population must deal with heavier traffic and longer checkout lines, Lawrence police officers suddenly have thousands more responsibilities — and people — to keep safe, Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said. “With an influx of new people to the community, we certainly see an uptick in activity,� McKinley said.

“We were busy this summer with alcohol-related crimes, but if you look at the capacity of bars on a Friday in June versus a Friday in September, you see the difference.�

While the increase in population affects police work, McKinley said it’s not because the students are always behind the illegal acts. “It’s not necessarily the students committing crime; it’s the criminals who have a new crop of victims each August,� McKinley said. “We’ve even seen that people come from outside of our community to target students and commit crimes.�

Though the population dramatically ebbs and flows with the KU calendar, the police de-

Drug abuse top reason for removing children from homes Wichita (ap) — Concern about drug and alcohol abuse by parents is the biggest reason hundreds of Kansas children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care each year, according to reports from the Kansas Department for Children and Families.

Statewide, nearly 750 children were removed from their homes because of substance abuse by parents in fiscal year 2014,

which ended June 30, The Wichita Eagle reported. Of those, 93 were in Sedgwick County.

“It’s safe to say that drugs and alcohol play a significant role,” said Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett.

Substance abuse is a factor in 60 percent to 80 percent of all child-inneed-of-care cases, said Ron Paschal, a Sedgwick County deputy district attorney in charge of the ju-

League

Situation is complex for some voters One of those who recently found out from the League of Women Voters that she was on that list was Marci Nielsen, a former high-ranking official in state government and Kansas University.

As it turned out, Nielsen’s voter registration situation in Douglas County was even more complicated than providing proof of citizenship, but it was cleared up last week by county officials and now she is registered to vote.

Still, the ordeal prompted Nielsen, who commutes between her job with a health care group

tant distinction (from Nielsen’s situation) is that registrants who are on the incomplete list for failure to provide proof of citizenship get two contacts from the county election officer reminding them to complete their application — one by mail, the other by telephone. Their situation is a simple one, and they get multiple notices from the county,” he said.

King, the president of the local League of Women Voters, disagreed that compliance is easy, saying many people can’t deal with another requirement that they must meet in order to vote.

“Some people are so busy just trying to provide a living for themselves and their family, and that one more thing they have to do is just too much. And some people, it is just apathy and they think it just doesn’t matter,” King said.

In addition to the League of Women Voters’ ongoing effort to contact people on the suspense list, the Douglas County election office sends out postcards monthly to people who are on the list, telling them they need to provide their proof of citizenship.

Dolores Furtado, president of the League of Women Voters of Kansas, said different chapters of the organization are using various methods to help local election commissioners reach people whose registrations aren’t complete.

The organization is fighting in federal court, a move by Kobach, to have the proof of citizenship requirement be Kobach says part of the federal votcompliance is easy er registration form in Kobach has argued that Kansas. “We consider it it is not that difficult to a barrier,” Furtado said. provide proof of citizenReporter Scott Rothschild can be ship to register to vote. reached at 785-423-0668.

almost never answered, she said.

“It takes a lot to get them off that list,” she said.

National battle over voter registration Kansas is at the center of a national battle over a requirement that wouldbe voters prove U.S. citizenship.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, has spearheaded the proof-of-citizenship requirement, saying it is needed to prevent illegal immigrants from voting.

Critics of the requirement argue that illegal immigrants aren’t going to the polls and the proof requirement is a smokescreen to suppress voting, especially among Democratic constituencies, such as minorities.

There are more than 20,000 people in Kansas, including more than 640 in Douglas County, who are on a suspense list because their voter registrations are incomplete due to lack of proof of citizenship.

that have problems.”

McKinley said the department is focusing on three major issues this year: lowering the intensity and frequency of violence at night, lowering the frequency of street robberies and reducing the amount of alcoholrelated accidents.

To reach their goals, officers are assigned to patrol areas where there is a combination of alcohol, pedestrians and motorists — specifically, downtown and the Oread neighborhood — at night and to proactively watch for dangerous situations

venile division.

Last week, Paschal’s staff pulled 10 random cases from August. Of those, eight involved parents with a history of drug or alcohol abuse, one had maternal grandparents with substance abuse issues and only one involved parents with no records of drug or alcohol use.

There are no clear-cut state laws about what to do in parental substance abuse cases, Paschal said.

in Washington, D.C., and her home in Lawrence, to wonder about the obstacles some Kansans face to exercise their right to vote.

“I’m concerned about the people who don’t know they are on this list and may not easily locate their birth certificate or passport,” to prove citizenship, said Nielsen, who is a registered Democrat.

In response to inquiries from the Lawrence Journal-World, Kobach looked at Nielsen’s case and said that her placement on the list was caused by several things, including what appeared to be a typo in the birth year that she filled out on a registration form in 2008, and then in 2012, where there was a change in her last name and she failed to fill in an oval regarding citizenship.

“Ms. Nielsen’s situation was a very unusual and complicated one, caused mainly by her own actions,” Kobach said.

Nielsen said, “Any woman who ever married and changed their name would disagree.” And, she said the proof of citizenship requirement was onerous and insulting.

“I have two thoughts about this. The first is, I served in the U.S. military and the Peace Corps.

I have worked for the federal government and state government. I take very seriously my right to vote, and so I would be prevented from voting and have to prove that I was a citizen?

“It is offensive to me as someone who is empowered as I am. What about the person who has three jobs and doesn’t get the phone call from the League of Women Voters?

Their fundamental right to vote has been taken from them, and they may not even know,” she said.

and suspicious activity, McKinley said.

Consistency is key when it comes to cutting down on nighttime violence, McKinley said.

Lawrence police are trained to take an enforcement action, rather than just defusing the situation.

“If people think we’re just going to separate (fighters), it will happen again next weekend,” McKinley said. “Even if

just issuing a ticket is far better at reducing bad behavior.”

Sometimes, McKinley said, greater action is needed. McKinley insists the strict enforcement is necessary to eliminate future crimes.

“What some people would call a ‘fist fight’ can have severe consequences. Those get charged as felonies,” McKinley said.

In addition to focused patrolling efforts, the LPD employs other tactics to reduce alcoholrelated vehicle crashes.

Last Friday, police conducted a DUI check lane that resulted in 10 arrests for drivers under the influence and six citations for traffic violations and two citations for drug violations.

TED GRINTER’S SUNFLOWERS at 24154 Stillwell Road have started to bloom Sunday in the early morning hours.

Cooler weather delayed opening of sunflower field Staff Reports

A popular photo backdrop soon will be in full bloom, but cooler weather is causing a slight delay.

Ted and Kris Grinter’s sunflowers should be better suited for pictures starting about Wednesday, Ted Grinter said Friday.

He originally thought the fields would be full of blooms this weekend, but the cooler weather has slowed the process.

He said he is liking the lower temperatures and

the rain, but the sunflowers right now prefer the hotter weather.

Though some sunflowers have opened up, he said the fields should be in more full bloom in a few days.

The field can be seen from U.S. Highway 24-40, but to take photos near the fields and with a barn backdrop, visitors from Lawrence should turn left at 243rd Street from U.S. 24-40.

It eventually will connect with Stillwell Road.

People coming from Tonganoxie can turn right onto Stillwell

Road from U.S. 24-40.

The turn onto 243rd Street is about 7 miles northeast of Lawrence from U.S. 24-40. The turn onto Stillwell Road from U.S. 24-40 is about 5 miles southwest of Tonganoxie.

For updates on the sunflowers’ progress, people can visit Kris’ blog, which is at krisgrinter.blogspot.com.

Taking the stage with McBride will be the Good Lord Bird Band, a gospel jazz quintet providing musical backup to the author’s readings from the novel. The evening also will include a special performance by Lawrence’s Ninth Street Baptist Church choir.

McBride’s most recent novel, “The Good Lord Bird,” is an irreverent and funny story of a young slave who joins John Brown’s abolitionist campaign, according to the library. It won the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction.

The author series is made possible by Lawrence resident Marianna Beach and her late husband, Ross Beach, said library spokeswoman Kathleen Morgan.

The Beaches’ funds were matched by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

“The idea behind it is to bring a major author once every year,” Morgan said.

She said nearly everything the library does falls into the category of the humanities.

“Hosting the current National Book Award winner at Lawrence Public Library is such an incredible gift to this community,” Brad Allen, library executive director, said in a news release. “James McBride’s ‘Good Lord Bird’ offers a wonderful blend of humor and history. It is the perfect selection to launch our new Beach Author Series.”

United Way is beginning its 10th year administering the AmeriCorps program in Douglas County for its community partners.

Last year, 16 United Way AmeriCorps members gave the community 27,200 hours of service, working at 10 agencies focused on health.

Volunteer with United Way AmeriCorps host sites Do you have a special skill or ability you’d like to share with others in our community who are working to improve their education, health and self sufficiency?

Serve alongside the United Way AmeriCorps members at their host sites, doing things such as: l Host a walking group to help people achieve their health goals. l Teach people how to prepare healthy meals on a budget. l Provide transportation to medical appointments. l Start a smoking cessation support group. l Conduct mock interviews for people looking for employment.

For more information on volunteering with AmeriCorps members, email americorps@unitedwaydgco.org. ment.

Six members will serve under the self sufficiency goal at Ballard Community Service’s Penn House, Catholic Charities of NE Kansas, Lawrence Community Shelter, Lawrence Douglas County Housing Authority, Van Go and the Willow, helping people obtain and sustain employment.

Two additional members will serve at Kennedy Elementary School, United Way’s education goal pilot program site, implementing the Kidz Lit reading program for

students in kindergarten through fifth grades.

In addition to their service at their host agencies, the AmeriCorps members will also develop and deliver monthly health related programming at the Lawrence Public Library’s Health Spot, delving into topics like teen health and nutrition.

“The AmeriCorps program is a huge resource we can provide to our partner agencies and the community as a whole,” said Johns.

“It allows the agencies to extend their reach

to serve people they otherwise might not be able to reach with their current staff. The program allows them to serve more people and have more impact.”

“The AmeriCorps members give a fresh eye to projects that have been long standing,” Van Schoelandt added. “They bring that enthusiastic look, using a new lens, to make programs more efficient and to reach more people. They are integral in bringing new ideas and not wanting to settle for what has been done before.”

No guarantees City officials should take a pass on a request to get financially involved in a local company’s plans to deploy super-fast Internet services in Lawrence.

S

uper-fast Internet service is the latest big thing. It is touted as the way to give cities a headstart on the future and attract major business development.

Google Fiber’s decision to deploy gigabit service in the Kansas City metropolitan area was seen as a huge coup.

Only time will tell whether superfast Internet service actually will be the boon it is portrayed to be. So far, it seems like an interesting perk for a community but not a silver bullet that guarantees a city’s future vitality.

For that reason, Lawrence city officials shouldn’t be so enamored with the promise of gigabit service that they leap into what could be an unwise commitment to a local company that wants to provide that service in Lawrence.

The Lawrence City Commission reportedly is close to considering whether to guarantee a $1 million loan for the local Wicked Broadband. The company would use that money for a pilot project that would make super-fast Internet service available to about 1,200 households downtown and just east of downtown.

The plan would be for Wicked to secure private financing for the project, but if the company defaults on the loan, the city would be responsible for paying if off. If that occurs, the city would become owner of whatever portion of the Wicked network had been installed and would have to decide what to do with that system.

There are a number of reasons the city should be skeptical of this deal.

If the prospects for this project aren’t solid enough to obtain a loan without a city guarantee, why would the city want to be involved? Current plans call for customers to pay $99 a month for the gigabit Internet service. How many east Lawrence residents or even downtown businesses are going to think the faster Internet service is worth that cost?

Josh Montgomery, the co-owner of Wicked Broadband, says he believes a successful pilot project will allow his company to raise about $10 million in private funding to add about 10,000 more homes to the super-fast network. Even if Wicked doesn’t default on the city-guaranteed loan, how long will it take to get the financing for an expanded project that still will fall far short of covering the entire city? What are the chances the city will be asked to provide additional financial support for that expansion? What if, in the meantime, another firm offers a more solid plan — maybe one that doesn’t require a city loan guarantee — to deploy gigabit Internet service in Lawrence?

Acquiring super-fast Internet service may be a desirable goal for Lawrence, but, especially with all the other projects the city currently is pursuing, there’s no reason for city officials to jump into a deal that still has so many questions and potential financial risks.

Challenges lie ahead for Saudi Arabia Washington — With Iraq and Syria ablaze, the oilrich kingdom of Saudi Arabia seems almost an afterthought. But Riyadh will be a crucial, if quixotic, ally as the U.S. seeks to mobilize Sunni Muslims against the terrorist Islamic State.

The kingdom’s many critics argue that Saudi Arabia itself helped spread the toxic virus by bankrolling Islamist rebels and their extremist Salafist Muslim ideology. As if to insulate itself from such criticism, the kingdom recently donated $100 million to a new U.N. counterterrorism center, and its senior religious leader, the grand mufti, declared the Islamic State and its al-Qaida forebear “enemy No. 1 of Islam.”

Complicating Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in containing regional instability is the fact that generational change is slowly coming in the kingdom, too. The stakes for the U.S. in this leadership transition are large, and the outcome is hard to predict.

King Abdullah remains in power, a generally popular and respected monarch. But at 90, his energy and attention span are limited. Tensions have surfaced at several Saudi ministries over the last year, suggesting a jockeying for power.

For a generation, Americans and Saudis have worried that the kingdom was a potential tinderbox, with Muslim and secular extremists vying to undermine the conservative monarchy. If anything, the kingdom seems slightly more stable now than

David Ignatius

“

Complicating Saudi Arabia’s pivotal role in containing regional instability is the fact that generational change is slowly coming in the kingdom, too.” a decade ago — but Sunni and Shiite extremists, otherwise deadly adversaries, share a common dream of toppling the House of Saud.

The inner workings of the royal family remain all but impenetrable to outsiders.

The senior princes are slowmoving, self-protective and resistant to foreign counsel — traits that invite speculation about what’s happening behind the palace walls.

But whatever their internal disagreements, the sons and grandsons of King Abdul Aziz, the kingdom’s modern founder, have been able to maintain the family consensus necessary to preserve their rule.

U.S. and Arab experts describe a kingdom that is worried about three dangers: the rise of Iran and its Shiite Muslim allies; the resurgence of Sunni extremism embodied by the Islamic State; and the reliability of

the United States, the kingdom’s protector, which is seen by many Saudis as a superpower in retreat.

The unsettled situation is illustrated by the mercurial Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

He was ousted as intelligence chief last April, then rehabilitated this summer with the honorific title of chairman of the national security council. The outcome is probably a net gain for Saudi stability: Khaled bin Bandar bin Abdul Aziz, the new chief of the spy service, is seen as a more reliable and professional operator; he works well with Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, the interior minister who is trusted by the U.S. The new spy chief and the interior minister, accompanied by Bandar and Saudi Foreign Minister Saud alFaisal, traveled to Qatar this week, presenting a common front to a regional rival that has often bedeviled Saudi and U.S. policy.

One question mark has been Crown Prince Salman, 78, the defense minister, who is reportedly in poor health. Speculation about succession was fueled by the appointment of Prince Muqrin as deputy crown prince last March. Meanwhile, Salman has struggled to run the defense ministry.

Since assuming that post in November 2011, he has had four deputies, including two sons of his predecessor, Prince Sultan.

The wild card in the Saudi deck is Bandar, the flamboyant former ambassador to Washington. When he was

head of Saudi intelligence and paymaster to Saudi allies in Syria and Lebanon, he was an unpredictable — and in Washington’s eyes, sometimes untrustworthy — operator.

Some Americans feared Bandar’s covert efforts in the Syrian civil war were unintentionally spawning al-Qaida terrorists. U.S. officials were relieved when Bandar was removed as steward of the Syrian opposition.

It has been Saudi Arabia’s recurring nightmare to fight external enemies by encouraging Sunni movements that turn extremist and threaten the kingdom itself. This happened in the 1980s, when the Saudis joined the CIA in sponsoring the mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The devout Muslim fighters drove out Soviet troops but evolved into the Taliban and al-Qaida.

The Saudis must worry that a similar process has happened again. Some of the Sunni fighters they backed against Iran have drifted toward the Islamic State. The Saudis didn’t intend the ensuing disaster, but they must now deal with it.

Western analysts credit Mohammed bin Nayef and Khaled bin Bandar for seeking to build more competent, professional security services at Interior and Intelligence. They’ll need that skill, and luck, too. For Saudi Arabia, big challenges lie just over the horizon.

Scotland weighs independent future “The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.”

— Scottish poet Robert Burns, “To a Mouse” (1786) Cairnryan, Scotland — For Americans whose knowledge of this beautiful land is limited to kilts, whiskey, bagpipes and the film “Braveheart,” the forthcoming referendum on whether Scotland should remain part of the United Kingdom or become an independent nation will come as a curiosity at best.

The primary objection of those favoring separation is the lack of self-determination granted to Scots by the British government. Though Westminster in recent months has devolved more powers to Edinburgh, those favoring separation say it is not enough.

Last week, in the final debate before the Sept. 18 vote (a turnout of 80 percent is predicted), the chairman of the “Better Together” campaign, Alistair Darling, engaged in the rhetorical equivalent of a heavyweight prizefight with Alex Salmond, first minister of Scotland.

Salmond was declared the winner of the debate, decisively defeating Darling on performance, despite

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

“

The referendum generally pits a younger liberal population in favor of separation against older, more conservative Scots.”

numerous interruptions by both men. Darling mostly had the better of it on substance when he noted the uncertainty that would follow separation, especially over the currency that will be used, the debt Scotland could still owe Britain, lost revenue from North Sea oil and gas and “thousands” of jobs that might be lost if U.S. Trident submarines were forced to leave Scottish waters, since presently, the U.S. is allied firmly with Great Britain, who, after separation, would no longer hold sway over Scottish ports.

The referendum gener-

ally pits a younger liberal population in favor of separation against older, more conservative Scots. Listening to questions from the Glasgow audience in the nationally televised debate, I was struck by how much the ideological battles here resemble U.S. politics, especially when it comes to defense. The naive argument by one young man, who appeared no older than 30, that ridding Scotland of nuclear weapons will somehow make the country safer might make some liberals feel better in the short term, but it denies the reality of peace through strength and the superior argument that having nuclear weapons serves as a deterrent.

Salmond mentioned the aging and increasingly dysfunctional National Health Service and the thousands of Scots who have come to rely on it. He wondered whether they will become victims of budget cuts, privatization and austerity measures should Scotland remain part of the UK. He’s right, of course. NHS is running in the red and cannot sustain itself, but parting ways with Britain won’t fix that for Scotland, reports the Daily Mirror, and Salmond has no viable alternative to the

NHS. Darling might have pointed this out to him, but he chose not to.

Another similarity with U.S. politics was the failure of both men to challenge the populace to rely less on government and more on themselves. “We can’t go on like this” might not sit well with voters who have come to rely too much on government and as a result contributed to the national debt of both countries, but it is reality.

Polls taken before the final debate show the proseparation side still trailing by 14 percent those who wish Scotland to remain part of Britain, but people are now paying attention.

The loudest applause of the night came when Salmond closed with this line: “This is our time, it’s our moment.

Let us do it now.”

Scottish independence would further weaken what remains of Britain’s once great “empire.” It could also seriously weaken Scotland, which could learn that unlike the young adult who leaves home unprepared and soon has to return, there may be no going back if Scotland leaves the “home” it has lived in for more than 300 years.

Milwaukee — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” performance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midterm congressional elections.

“America deserves Obama a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife. “I just wore her down,” he cracked.

Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.

“By almost every measure the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” he said, rattling off a string of improving economic indicators even while acknowledging not all people are benefit-

minimum wage is designed to draw campaign contrasts with Republicans, many of whom maintain that an increase would hurt small businesses and slow down hiring. No one expects Congress to act on it before the November elections.

2 killed in shootout near biker club Birmingham, Ala. — Police say at least 40 rounds were fired during a gun battle outside a Birmingham motorcycle club that killed two people and wounded two others.

Birmingham police say the shooting happened shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, outside the Showstoppers Motorcycle Club.

Police say the battle started during an argument between members of two separate motorcycle clubs.

Birmingham police Lt. Sean Edwards said Monday afternoon that detectives are not getting cooperation from potential witnesses.

No arrests had been made.

Police say several people fired shots. The two who died had wounds to their chests and backs.

Edwards says the two people who were wounded are both expected to survive.

that would include being able to appoint their own local law enforcement officials.

This deal is only for eastern Ukraine. There are no negotiations on handing back Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that Russia annexed in March, a move that cost Ukraine several major ports, half its coastline and untold billions in Black Sea oil and mineral rights.

The talks lasted for several hours Monday and were adjourned until Friday, when the parties are to discuss a cease-fire and an exchange of prisoners, rebel negotiator Andrei Purgin said, according to RIA Novosti.

The rebels’ more moderate negotiating platform appeared to reflect Putin’s desire to make a deal that would allow Russia to avoid more punitive Western sanctions while preserving a significant degree of leverage over its neighbor.

Baghdad — Iraq’s outgoing prime minster pledged Monday to turn his country into “a big grave” for Sunni militants from the Islamic State group and commended security forces who achieved a rare victory over insurgents by ending the siege of a Shiite town.

Nouri al-Maliki made the comments during an unannounced visit to the northern community of Amirli, where he was greeted with hugs. A day earlier, Iraqi forces backed

by Iran-allied Shiite militias and U.S. airstrikes broke a two-month siege of the town where some 15,000 Shiite Turkmens had been stranded.

In footage aired on state TV, al-Maliki was shown sitting at a wooden desk in front of a large poster of Shiite leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistsani, ordering promotions and awards for those who fought in the battle.

“I salute you for your steadfastness and patience against those beasts and killers,” he told a gathering of fighters in a large hall as they chanted Shiite religious slogans. He vowed to root out Sunni militants from areas they control in the country.

Moscow — Pro-Russian rebels softened their demand for full independence Monday, saying they would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for autonomy — a shift that reflects Moscow’s desire to strike a deal at a new round of peace talks.

The insurgents’ platform, released at the start of Monday’s negotiations in Minsk, the Belarusian capital, represented a significant change in their vision for the future of Ukraine’s eastern, mainly Russian-speaking region.

It remains unclear, however, whether the talks can reach a compromise amid the brutal fighting that has continued in eastern Ukraine.

The peace talks in Minsk follow last week’s meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko. The negotiations involve former Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma; Russia’s ambassador to Ukraine; an envoy from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and representatives of the rebels.

Yet similar talks earlier this summer produced no visible results.

Unlike the previous rounds, this time rebels said in a statement carried by Russia’s state-run RIA Novosti news agency that they are willing to discuss “the preservation of the united economic, cultural and political space of Ukraine.” In return, they demanded a comprehensive amnesty and broad local powers

PHYSICAL THERAPIST CINDY JOHNSON owns Therapy Works, a clinic in Lawrence. She has been a leader in the community on local health issues and helped found the local wellness coalition LiveWell Lawrence.

Physical therapist strives to make residents healthier

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @gilesbruce

Cindy Johnson approaches each of her patients like they are part of something greater. Curing their ailments, she says, will ultimately make for a healthier, happier Lawrence.

“I know people have a job here in the community; they have kids. And kids are going to have better self-esteem and skills in school if they have a parent who doesn’t have such a bad headache that they can’t read with them in the evening,” she said. “That parent is going to help their employer by not having a headache and showing up, and when they do show

up, being productive because they don’t have a headache.”

“Plus, volunteering is such a big piece of my life, as well as for most people here in Lawrence — that’s what makes it such a great community,” she added. “But no one in their right mind with a bad headache would want to be in the Quail Run rotunda after school with a bunch of Scouts.”

This attitude has served Johnson well in her 20 years as the owner of Lawrence physical therapy clinic Therapy Works. But that’s not all that defines her: She’s also a wife and mother to four children, a community leader who serves on various nonprofit boards and an inspiration to others.

“She practices what she preaches,” said Therapy Works marketing director Nikki White, who has known Johnson for more than 15 years through their prior work together for local nonprofit Health Care Access. “She’s definitely an inspiration, especially to working moms, that you can juggle it all. She approaches every day with a lot of positive energy. She must take her vitamins because she is full force every single day.

If there’s a challenge, she just embraces it and says, ‘OK, what can we do to overcome this?’”

Johnson, 49, moved to Lawrence in the early 1990s when her husband, Chris, took a job

as a music professor at Kansas University. She got her graduate degree in physical therapy from KU, and opened Therapy Works in January 1994. She got the idea for the business like she comes up with many of her plans: on one of her and her husband’s daily morning walks, which she called “the secret to our 26 years of marriage.”

Therapy Works opened at Sixth Street and Gateway Drive with one treadmill and a hot-pack machine. The clinic moved again before settling in at 1311 Wakarusa Drive, in 2008. It has grown to have 30 employees and its own wellness and fitness center. But Please see THERAPIST, page 2B

Learn about stroke basics and the latest research

By Aynsley Anderson

Stroke resources

Lawrence Memorial Hospital

On average, one American dies from a stroke every four minutes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stroke, also referred to as a “brain attack,” is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. About 800,000 people have a stroke each year.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

But what exactly is a stroke? A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, causing brain tissue to die. In the areas where tissues are affected, body and motor function are often lost. Speech, movement and memory are frequently impaired.

The severity of the loss varies based on a number of factors. The National Stroke Association states that some people recover completely from strokes, but more than two-thirds of survivors will have

some type of disability.

Stroke: a medical emergency Stroke is a medical emergency. Know the signs and symptoms of stroke because getting fast treatment is important to preventing death and disability from stroke. Stroke symptoms often include sudden: l Numbness or weakness of face, arm or leg; especially on one side of the body l Confusion, trouble speaking or understanding l Trouble seeing with one or both eyes l Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination l Severe headache with no known cause A great way to remember stroke symptoms is to think FAST. Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of

l cdc.gov/stroke/ l ninds.nih.gov l stroke.org

the face droop?

Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?

Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is their speech slurred or strange?

Time: If you observe any of these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately.

It is vital to seek treatment as soon as symptoms appear and to note the time. If given within three hours of the first symptom, an approved clot-buster medication may reduce long-term disability for the most common type of stroke.

There are also two other types of stroke treatment available that might help reduce the effects of stroke.

New in research

The medical field is always searching for the best treatments, and the ultimate goal is to cure and/or prevent disease.

One of the major organizations that invest in stroke research is the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It conducts stroke research and clinical trials at its laboratories and clinics at the National Institutes of Health and through grants to major medical institutions across the country.

Currently, these researchers are studying the stroke risk factors and the process of brain damage that results from stroke. Basic research has also focused on the genetics of stroke and stroke risk factors. Scientists are working to develop new and better ways to help the brain repair itself to restore important functions.

New advances in imaging and rehabilitation have shown that the brain can compensate for function lost as a result of stroke.

Dear Dr. Wes and Kyra: A friend of mine who is over 18 recently went down really hard (more than a couple years in prison) for sale and distribution of weed. My friend wasn’t this big drug dealer, just bringing it from Colorado and selling to friends and coworkers. Just about everyone who smokes sells now. Even I’ve done it.

But as much as I disagree with this law and putting someone behind bars for nothing, I think people should know that it’s more dangerous than it looks. I really care about my friend and don’t want other people to have the same experience.

Wes: Just about every week I become more supportive of legalizing marijuana. Your story is a fine example of why.

While I don’t agree that, “just about everyone sells now,” a whole lot of kids do, many of them teens. In fact, if the high schools were to actually decide to enforce drug policies, heads would spin at what might be found. Which is exactly why that will never happen.

Even I’m shocked at how dealing weed is now seen as “no thing,” when in fact people are going down every week all over the state for similar charges. Colorado’s new export crop makes for easy pickings in the Kansas law enforcement community. Legalization would generally stifle that black market and wipe out a ton of illegal and unregulated small businesses operating on every block in town.

To be clear, I support legalizing marijuana. I don’t support using it.

Yes, some people partake at only the most recreational level (e.g., once in awhile and moderately).

But, let’s be honest.

Responsible consumption isn’t reality and thus not the point of contention. It’s heavy daily use that creates the concern about pot just as does daily or binge drinking.

Increasingly that’s the norm for many teens and young adults. They don’t respect any limits and anyone who argues to the contrary is hurled out of favor, fast.

While I sympathize with your friend and I hope we’ll see changes that allow regulated, legal sale and distribution, I also agree that until then, even part time, low-level dealers shouldn’t do the crime Please see WEED, page 2B l Legalization and

its impact on traffic deaths. Page 3B

Parenting: Guess what? You’re doing it wrong If you’re a parent of small children, just how many foam, plastic or rubber contraptions do you have around your home? You know, the ones that serve no other purpose but to protect your children from harm?

I have 33. Thirty-three apparatuses that keep my children out of cabinets, keep their fingers out of electric sockets and keep them out of rooms full of “no-nos�. It sounds like a lot, but I promise, it’s really not. I have far fewer than most parents I know.

I even have fewer than my own parents who used to use a 15-year-old car seat for the grandkids (Sorry for throwing you under the bus, Mom and Dad).

Even after the insistence of family members,

if they can’t do the time.

And after reading the longer version of your letter, I know your friend will be doing quite a bit of it.

Kyra: During a few unsupervised moments in ninth grade biology, my table partner dug into his backpack, pulled out a baggie full of something green and began animatedly waving it around.

That was the first time I saw marijuana.

As a particularly naive freshman, this flaunting of an illegal substance stunned me. As a senior, it’s so common that I’ve become completely desensitized. While flagrant displays are rare in the hallways, one regularly sees the bloodshot eyes, smells the oily herbal musk and hears the weekend’s waterfall bong hit stories. Weed really is everywhere, easily accessible and socially acceptable. It is not, however, legal here nor even in Colorado for the under-21 crowd.

Most people’s discretion exceeds that of my lab partner. Consequently, I find myself acquainted with numerous weed users and dealers who’ve never seen legal repercussion for their chill recreation. But until Kansas and the rest of the country follow Colorado and Washington and abolish Pot Prohibition, one misplaced gram could result in a sticky icky situation.

In Kansas, possession of any quantity of weed, even just a gram, is classified as a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $2500 fine and/or a year in jail. That misdemeanor jumps to a level 2 felony if the substance is distributed to a minor or within 1000 feet of school property.

Remember, I’m not a lawyer. But that is what Kansas law says.

As high school dealers turn 18 and continue selling to underclassmen, the stakes become much higher, as selling weed is punishable by up to 68 months in prison. A fiveand-a-half year stint in a cell just isn’t worth hooking someone up with an hour or two of euphoria and a strong, burning desire for Doritos. —Wes Crenshaw, Ph.D., ABPP, is author of “I Always Want to Be Where I’m Not: Successful Living with ADD & ADHD.� Learn about his writing and practice at dr-wes.com.

Larryville Mom

Megan Spreer we refused to get the foam bumpers for our brick fireplace, the drawer catch levers, the whale that covers the bathtub faucet and so many others. We even opted out of the sun shade for the car.

Why? Because we felt like our kids should get accustomed to the world rather than bending the world to accommodate

them.

The world is full of helicopter parents. They’re the ones I talked about on the playground who follow their kids around and show them how to navigate every single piece of equipment. They’re also the ones who leave in the middle of a lunch date because “Holy God, it’s almost nap time and we have to get home NOW!�

They change every element of their world to fit their children rather than raising their children to fit into the world.

It’s not a good look, and it has some awful consequences.

I saw this on my Facebook news feed last week.

A friend of mine is an academic advisor at a large college. She deals with

all kinds of these types of situations, but she shared this particularly funny email from a student last week: Student: I have a question about my enrollment. I’m about to enroll in (Class A) and (Class B), but the first one starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 11:50 a.m., and the second one starts at 12 p.m. and ends at 12:50 p.m. That means I`ll have no time to lunch every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Isn’t there anything we can do about that? Please, answer me as soon as possible. I’m sorry to bother you.

I read this and went “WHAT?� Who in their right mind would send this email? Why in the world would this be my friend’s problem to solve?

And then I realized this email was probably from a kid of a parent who bent over backward to ensure their child never experienced a single inconvenience.

Life has pains. It has inconveniences, hurts, unfortunate circumstances, and heartache. If we, as parents shelter our kids from these things while they’re young, how in the world are they going to function when we aren’t around later? How are they going to know how to pick themselves up, brush themselves off and move on? How in God’s name are they going to know when to eat lunch?

It is our job to teach them. It is our job to give them the tools they need to live their life. Not to do

it for them. Not to put up bumpers everywhere they turn so they don’t bump their head. Sometimes a bump on the head is what will keep them from running into another disaster. Sometimes they need to learn to accommodate others’ needs before their own just so they don’t suck as people later.

Yes, it hurts a lot to see your child hurting. It kills me when one of my girls cries. But sometimes the best lesson they learn is to fall down. They’ll get back up and they’ll thank you for it later (at least that’s the rainbow and sunshine picture I have in my head). —Social media specialist Megan Spreer writes the Larryville Mom blog for WellCommons.com.

New Lawrence psychiatric clinic offers intensive outpatient treatment

By Giles Bruce Twitter: @gilesbruce

A new psychiatric clinic in Lawrence says it can help treat patients’ serious mental illnesses without having them spend time in an inpatient facility.

Awakenings, located in the Medical Arts Building at 346 Maine St., offers intensive inpatient therapy to treat such conditions as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Patients in the program meet for small group therapy sessions three times a week for about a month and a half, with weekly medication

checks with a psychiatrist.

Maria Cristina Davila, the Awakenings psy- Davila chiatrist, says this intensive outpatient program, the only one of its kind in Lawrence, can keep people with mental illnesses out of institutions and continuing to work or go to school while they seek treatment. “We’re able to handle more acute cases on an outpatient basis,� said Davila, who has been a psychiatrist for more

than 20 years and also operates an Awakenings clinic in Prairie Village. “I Logan can imagine in another program a suicidal patient comes in and they say, ‘Hospital.’�

After patients graduate from intensive outpatient therapy, they return to the clinic once a week for a year for free aftercare.

Family members attend the group sessions as well. The intensive outpatient program is also offered for youth ages

12-17. “To have the support of not just a therapist, but a therapist, a doctor and each other is pretty powerful,� said Awakenings therapist Angie Logan. “Patients get better faster in connection with other people. Group therapy is really powerful in expediting wellness.�

Logan noted that the clinic can do intakes with patients as soon as they call and see them within 24 hours. “You don’t have to wait to get help, or to Kansas City or Topeka,� she said.

Awakenings also offers transcranial magnetic stimulation, which

Johnson always saw her mission in the scheme of the larger community.

She has served on the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s ribboncutting committee, as a Girl Scout troop leader, and on the boards of several local nonprofits. Her clinic hosts regular seminars on health-related topics. And in 2008, she helped found a local wellness coalition, LiveWell Lawrence, to expand opportunities for local residents to be their healthiest selves. “This community feels like family, and you want the best for your family,� said Johnson, who has the kind of infectious personality that makes it hard not to smile around her. “When a community’s healthy, it can do so many more things, and it thrives and it’s energized and it grows and it flourishes.�

Johnson teaches patients that their pain is usually part of something bigger, too. “Helping people really understand what’s going

Experts debate rise in traffic deaths as pot is legalized

| 3B

BRIEFLY

Expert to speak ing to Monitoring the on depression

The Associated Press

Washington — As states liberalize their marijuana laws, public officials and safety advocates worry that more drivers high on pot will lead to a big increase in traffic deaths. Researchers, though, are divided on the question.

Studies of marijuana’s effects show that the drug can slow decisionmaking, decrease peripheral vision and impede multitasking, all of which are critical driving skills.

But unlike with alcohol, drivers high on pot tend to be aware that they are impaired and try to compensate by driving slowly, avoiding risky actions such as passing other cars, and allowing extra room between vehicles.

On the other hand, combining marijuana with alcohol appears to eliminate the pot smoker’s exaggerated caution and seems to increase driving impairment beyond the effects of either substance alone.

“We see the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington as a wake-up call for all of us in highway safety,” said Jonathan Adkins, executive director of Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety offices.

“We don’t know enough about the scope of marijuana-impaired driving to call it a big or small problem. But anytime a driver has their ability impaired, it is a problem.”

Colorado and Washington are the only states that allow retail sales of marijuana for recreational use. Efforts to legalize recreational mari-

THE WRECKED SUBARU IMPREZA IN WHICH FOUR PEOPLE DIED IS LOADED onto a truck in West Hempstead, N.Y., after and early-morning accident in October 2012. At the wheel was a New York teenager, Joseph Beer, who had smoked about $20 worth of marijuana, before getting into the car with friends and driving at more than 100 mph before crashing into trees. juana are underway in Alaska, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon and the District of Columbia. Twenty-three states and the nation’s capital permit marijuana use for medical purposes.

It is illegal in all states to drive while impaired by marijuana.

Colorado, Washington and Montana have set an intoxication threshold of 5 parts per billion of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in pot, in the blood. A few other states have set intoxication thresholds, but most have not set a specific level. In Washington, there was a jump of nearly 25 percent in drivers testing positive for marijuana in 2013 — the first full year after legalization — but no corresponding increase in car accidents or fatalities.

What worries high-

way safety experts are cases like that of New York teenager Joseph Beer, who in October 2012 smoked marijuana, climbed into a Subaru Impreza with four friends and drove at more than 100 mph before losing control. The car crashed into trees with such force that the vehicle split in half, killing Beer’s friends.

Beer pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and was sentenced last week to 5 years to 15 years in prison.

A prosecutor blamed the crash on “speed and weed,” but a Yale University Medical School expert on drug abuse who testified at the trial said studies of marijuana and crash risk are “highly inconclusive.”

Some studies show a twoor three-fold increase, while others show none,

said Dr. Mehmet Sofuoglu. Some studies even showed less risk if someone was marijuana-positive, he testified.

Teenage boys and young men are the most likely drivers to smoke pot and the most likely drivers to have an accident regardless of whether they’re high, he said.

“Being a teenager, a male teenager, and being involved in reckless behavior could explain both at the same time — not necessarily marijuana causing getting into accidents, but a general reckless behavior leading to both conditions at the same time,” he told jurors.

In 2012, just over 10 percent of high school seniors said they had smoked pot before driving at least once in the prior two weeks, accord-

Future, an annual University of Michigan survey of 50,000 middle and high school students. Nearly twice as many male students as female students said they had smoked marijuana before driving.

A roadside survey by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2007 found 8.6 percent of drivers tested positive for THC, but it’s not possible to say how many were high at the time because drivers were tested only for the presence of drugs, not the amount.

A marijuana high generally peaks within a half hour and dissipates within three hours, but THC can linger for days in the bodies of habitual smokers.

Inexperienced pot smokers are likely to be more impaired than habitual smokers, who develop a tolerance. Some studies show virtually no driving impairment in habitual smokers.

Two recent studies that used similar data to assess crash risk came to opposite conclusions.

Columbia University researchers compared drivers who tested positive for marijuana in the roadside survey with state drug and alcohol tests of drivers killed in crashes. They found that marijuana alone increased the likelihood of being involved in a fatal crash by 80 percent.

But because the study included states where not all drivers are tested for alcohol and drugs, a majority of drivers in fatal crashes were excluded, possibly skewing the results. Also, the use of urine tests rather than blood tests in some cases may overestimate marijuana use and impairment.

Stephen Ilardi, a nationally recognized expert on depression and a Kansas University researcher, will be the keynote speaker at the fourth annual WorkWell Lawrence symposium, which takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center, 200 McDonald Drive.

Given that adults spend about half of their waking hours on the job, work sites provide an optimal opportunity to initiate and support a healthy lifestyle. Such initiatives may include offering a Community Supported Agriculture program, a smoke-free tobacco policy, bicycle racks and healthy vending options. The WorkWell Symposium will provide an opportunity for employees and employers to learn about wellness strategies that work.

Ilardi, author of “The Depression Cure,” will talk about six lifestyle elements that help prevent and fight depression, a mental illness that affects one in four adults.

“We have an epidemic of mental illness,” Ilardi said.

He believes the increase is a result of our lifestyles.

“We were never designed for the sedentary, indoor, socially isolated, sleepdeprived, fast-food laden, frenzied pace of modern life,” he said.

The event will also feature KU professor Paul Atchley discussing nature as a cure for technology and a panel discussion on trends in healthy foods at work.

The symposium is open to the public. Advance registration is $40. After Monday, it will be $50. For more information or to register, visit livewelllawrence.org.

Ben Heeney is …

‘The Diabolical Defender’

by Benton Smith/basmith@ljworld.com

Ben Heeney’s teammates will attest: he is the hero Kansas University football deserves.

“I think it’s pretty cool.

I wish I had my own website,” Harwell said with a smile, referring to the Captain Heeney page.

When wide receiver Nick Harwell heard the senior linebacker had an online presence as a superhero, he had to check it out.

“I mean, I like it.

I like the idea of it.

He’s the captain of the team, so why not?”

When other Jayhawks, such as senior safety Cassius Sendish, talk about Heeney, he sounds faster than a kick returner, more powerful than a defensive lineman and able to take down the Big 12’s elite offensive playmakers with a single bound.

Harwell: “I wouldn’t exactly call myself a superhero … but Heeney is definitely a superhero.”

“He comes out of nowhere and he is on the running back’s tail,” Tight end JImmay Mundine said.

The 6-foot, 230-pound “Diabolical Defender” from Hutchinson has executed enough daring plays on the field for his teammates to applaud the promotion without feeling much envy.

“He’s a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. He’s playing at 110 percent from first kickoff to the very last whistle blow,” Sendish said.

“I’ve never played with a player like him, a linebacker like him, before.

It’s something special.”

“Some of the things he does is unreal,” Harwell said. “So I feel like that’s the reason he gets the website. They don’t want to overdo it with making too many more.”

“He does it every time like it’s nothing.”

New York (ap) — Bothered by the heat and stifling humidity, Eugenie Bouchard felt dizzy and her vision was blurry.

Chiefs QB looks forward Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Alex Smith didn’t have much choice when he was traded from San Francisco to Kansas City last year.

He had the final say when it came to staying with the Chiefs, though.

One day after signing a fouryear extension that should solidify his future through the 2018 season, Smith expressed relief at being able to focus solely on football — rather than negotiations that had been going on for months, and that were threatening to bleed into the regular season.

“As much as you don’t want to think about those types of things,” Smith said, “you can’t help but they sit in the back of your head: ‘I’m playing for a contract, I’m playing for this and that.’ Sometimes you can just be an added distraction. I was hoping and really happy that it got done.”

Smith said he made it clear to his agent, Tom Condon, he wanted an agreement done before the start of the season. Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said that was also his goal.

“This has been a long process,” Dorsey said. “You know, Tom Condon is very professional in his approach. We had ongoing discussions, consistent discussions, and I’m just glad we can concentrate on football.

I’m happy for Alex, happy for the organization.”

Smith is due $7.5 million this season, the final year of the contract he signed with the 49ers. His extension is worth $68 million, with $45 million guaranteed, a person familiar with the terms told the Association Press on condition of anonymity because details were not disclosed.

Asked whether the deal gave the Chiefs some flexibility moving forward, Dorsey replied: “I don’t really like to talk the specifics of numbers in these venues, but it’s a win for both sides.”

The Chiefs can now turn their attention to pass rusher Justin Houston, entering the final year of his rookie contract. Minus an agreement, the Chiefs could use the franchise tag on Houston next season without worrying about losing Smith to free agency.

Smith was a target for Dorsey and Reid almost from the moment they arrived in Kansas City. They traded two secondround draft picks to the 49ers to acquire him.

Taking over a franchise that won two games the previous season, Smith threw for a career-best 3,313 yards with 23 touchdowns and only seven interceptions, even while skipping a meaningless regular-season finale. He led Kansas City to a 9-0 start, an 11-5 record and a playoff appearance, throwing for 378 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-44 loss to the Colts.

Notes: The Chiefs signed DT Hebron Fangupo and LB Jerry Franklin to their practice squad. ... WR Kyle Williams, who had been on injured reserve, was released. ... WR A.J. Jenkins (concussion) and C Eric Kush (shoulder) did not practice Monday. Reid said both should be available Sunday.

CHRIS KIRK CHIPS TO THE SECOND GREEN during the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday in Norton, Massachusetts.

Norton, Mass. — Chris Kirk picked up the biggest victory of his career Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Still to be determined is just how big.

Kirk closed with a 5-under 66 in another wild Labor Day finish at the TPC Boston, coming up with three big putts on the back nine to pull away for a two-shot victory. Along the way, he made a strong case to be one of the three Ryder Cup picks that will be announced today.

Kirk played the final 36 holes with Rory McIlroy and outplayed the world’s best golfer. Of far greater importance was winning this FedEx Cup playoff event for his second victory this season. And he got it done with a bogey-free round.

“It’s my biggest win ever,” Kirk said.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a final-round 65, jumped 27 spots into a tie for 29th and earned $50,867.

Woodland carded seven birdies and two pars on the front nine, with eight pars and a bogey on the back.

Billy Horschel had a chance to at least force a playoff — and possibly win — when he stood in the fairway on the par-5 18th hole with a 6-iron in his hand. Horschel chunked the shot so bad that it barely reached the hazard, and he made bogey for a 69.

Horschel tied for second with 54-hole leader Russell Henley (70) and Geoff Ogilvy, who extended his unlikely run through these FedEx Cup playoffs. Ogilvy was the last of the 100 qualifiers for the Deutsche Bank Championship. He went 65-65 on the weekend without a bogey.

The top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to the BMW Championship in Denver later this week.

Ogilvy went from No. 100 to No. 24, and now stands a reasonable chance of getting to the Tour Championship.

transfer D’Vario Montgomery will likely get more playing time in Bundrage’s absence.

Iowa State (0-1) hosts Kansas State (1-0) on Saturday.

Texas QB to miss BYU Austin, Texas — Texas quarterback David Ash, who missed most of last season with concussion symptoms, was injured again and will miss this week’s game against BYU. Ash took several hard hits in a 38-7 win over North Texas. Longhorns coach Charlie Strong says Ash didn’t show any symptoms during the game, but that the coaching staff got a call later that night.

Strong did not detail what problems Ash was experiencing.

Ash ran for a touchdown and passed for another. But he also took several blows to the head, including a tackle when he bent low to pick up a fumble, and twice more when his helmet bounced off the turf.

Sophomore Tyrone Swoopes will start for Texas (1-0) against the Cougars (1-0).

Astros fire manager Porter

Houston — The Houston Astros fired manager Bo Porter on Monday, saying the dismissal had less to do with the team’s 59-79 record than the need for “new direction” and a “united message throughout the entire organization.”

Porter was in his second season with the Astros and was succeeded by interim manager Tom Lawless, who worked in Houston’s minor-league system. Lawless’ first game in charge is tonight at home against the firstplace Los Angeles Angels.

Bench coach Dave Trembley also was let go.

KU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Jayhawks suffer through bye week

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For the second year in a row, Kansas University football coaches and players watched the rest of the country kick off the season while the Jayhawks sat through an opening-week bye.

“I could lie and tell you that everyone was happy that they were off this week,” KU coach Charlie Weis said on Monday morning’s Big 12 coaches teleconference. “But that’s what that would be.

It would be a lie. I think that every player and every coach would have been much happier if they were playing on Saturday instead of sitting around watching games on TV.” Because KU’s first opponent — Southeast Missouri State, 6 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium — opened its season last

Thursday, Weis and company were freed up to scout other future opponents Saturday, and the third-year KU coach took full advantage.

“Saturday I just turned into your typical football junkie, tried to catch as many of our opponents as I could that were on TV,” Weis said.

That came after watching SEMO roll to a 77-0 victory over Missouri Baptist in its opener.

Weis watched the game online through the Ohio Valley Conference’s website and then broke down the coach’s copy of the film Friday. Weis said getting an early look at the Redhawks was beneficial.

“It was brutal,” he said of the game that SEMO led 49-0 at halftime. “But at the same time, we already had a pretty good idea, but you could see the tempo that the offense

KU SCHEDULE Sept. 6 — Southeast Missouri State, 6 p.m.

Sept. 13 — at Duke, 2:30 p.m.

Sept. 20 — Central Michigan Sept. 27 — Texas Oct. 4 — at West Virginia Oct. 11 — Oklahoma State Oct. 18 — at Texas Tech Nov. 1 — at Baylor Nov. 8 — Iowa State Nov. 15 — TCU Nov. 22 —at Oklahoma Nov. 29 — at Kansas State runs the game at, and you could see any tweaks that the defense had. (It gave us) the opportunity to confirm what their bread and butter is.”

Weis said he thought one of Southeast Missouri’s biggest concerns heading into the year

looked an awful lot like a strength in the opener.

“They played great in all three facets,” he said. “Besides going up and down the field on offense and shutting them out on defense, one point of the game that kind of slapped you in the face was how well their special teams played.”

This is the first competitive year of football for Missouri Baptist. The school announced the creation of the new program in March of 2013, played its first public scrimmage in September of 2013 and kicked off its first season with last week’s loss to SEMO. The Redhawks rolled to 516 yards of total offense while holding Missouri Baptist to 81. The 77-point total was the most scored by a SEMO football team since joining the FCS ranks.

“In the first game, you can’t get overly excited

or you can’t get overly disappointed in how things go,” Weis said when asked for his general thoughts about the Big 12 and college football’s opening weekend.

“You can’t really worry about it too much in the first week. I think it takes a couple of weeks for the dust to start to settle, and then you can figure out teams’ identities.”

Big 12 competitive Weis was asked Monday about last weekend’s strong showings of Oklahoma State vs. top-ranked Florida State (37-31 loss) and West Virginia vs. perennial SEC powerhouse Alabama (33-23 loss).

“I don’t think anyone that’s involved in the Big 12 thinks that’s a big surprise,” he said of the near upsets by teams picked to finish fifth and eighth in the Big 12. “We all know this is a loaded league,

and you can’t underestimate any of the competitors in this league.”

More Mizzou talk Another season brought another round of Missouri questions, and Weis’ answer to the inquiry sounded awfully familiar.

“When I came here, Missouri was already gone, so I don’t feel the same thing that most of the Kansas fans feel with the hatred toward Missouri,” he said. “When teams leave on their own, which they did, you can’t really worry about them.

You’ve just gotta put your time and energy into the fact that you’re playing nine good teams every year. We do happen to have a very good team instate, in Kansas State, that we play at the end of the year. We’re not hurting for a rivalry game. We’ve got one about 90 miles down the road.”

BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Cleveland forward Bragg still likes KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Carlton Bragg, a 6-foot9, 225-pound senior power forward from Villa Angela St. Joseph High School in Cleveland, on Monday cut his list of schools to five.

They are: Kansas University, Kentucky, Illinois, Arizona and UCLA. “No particular order, no favorites and thank you to all the schools

that have been recruiting me,” Bragg, Rivals. com’s No. 14-rated player nationally, Tweeted on Monday.

Bragg received scholarship offers from more than 20 schools, including Indiana, Texas, Michigan State, UConn, Louisville, Ohio State and Pittsburgh.

“They like to play open and my style of play matches their style of play,” he told the Cleveland Plain Dealer,

referring to his five finalists.

Bragg will visit KU for the Oct. 10 Late Night in the Phog and Kentucky for the Oct. 17 Big Blue Madness.

He has an in-home visit with KU coach Bill Self scheduled for Sept.

11.

It was big news in Ohio that Ohio State did not make Bragg’s list.

“I think these schools were the best fit for me, and Ohio State was not

the best fit for me,” Bragg told the Plain Dealer.

Bragg averaged 18.7 points and 8.5 rebounds a game his junior season of high school.

“He is a stretch four.

He can shoot the jumper, run the floor real well, and that’s what people love about him,” Bragg’s mentor, Michael Graves, told Zagsblog.com. “His upside is unlimited. He’s just gotta keep doing the hard work and stay hungry and humble.”

6-6 sophomore point guard from Centennial High in Las Vegas, has received scholarship offers from KU, UCLA, Duke, Arizona and UNLV, Zagsblog.com reports.

“It’s still kind of too early,” Brown told unlv. rivals.com, asked if he wanted to stay out West.

“I’ll take it into consideration, but right now I’m l just worried about playKU offers point ing basketball and being guard: Troy Brown, a a kid.” l

Tatum cuts to 10: Jayson Tatum, a 6-7 junior guard from Chaminade High in St. Louis who is ranked No. 4 in the Class of 2016 announced a list of 10 schools Monday on Twitter. They are: KU, Arizona, Duke, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Saint Louis, UConn and Wake Forest.

Holland struck out two in a perfect ninth, earning his 41st save in 43 chances. It was Holland’s third straight day of work.

“It’s kind of a doubleedged sword for me,” he said. “We’re in a playoff race and you never know when you’re going to get another chance to go to the playoffs. Kansas City hasn’t been there in a while, a long time exactly.

“You want to do everything you can, but you also want to be smart about it. If I go out there at 40 or 50 percent and don’t get the job done because of it, that’s me being selfish for wanting to pitch. You’ve got to understand the situation that if you need a day, you’ve got to express that to the coaching staff.”

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Man, 74, struggles with feeling jealous, inadequate Dear Annie: I am 74, and “Jane” is 56. We met online, where I said early on that I was not interested in dating because of the age disparity. I simply told her that I liked the expression on her face in the posted photos. She is beautiful.

But within a few months, we fell in love and became intimate.

Jane realized it was a mistake and was quick to point it out. Aside from the age problem, I also suffer from impotence, and the sexual dysfunction had too great an impact. Jane wanted a man who could provide for all her needs.

Jane told me she wanted to stay friends, but I refused. I really fell for her and cannot tolerate the idea that she is sexually involved with another man. This

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

woman is a complete 10 in her heart and soul.

After we broke up, I went through months of feeling bad. I cried a lot.

But here’s the problem. Jane seems unable to let go of me. She told me once that she liked me more than anyone she had ever known, and she finds me endlessly interesting. Every month or so, she contacts me. If it happens when I’m strong and happy, I reply, and we have a nice email chat.

Disney still riding cold streak “The Story of Frozen: Making a Disney Animated Classic” (7 p.m., ABC) offers viewers an inside peek at the popular cartoon musical as well as a glance at its sequel.

It’s also a good example of a bad trend, the use of network time to cross-promote shows and “properties” for its corporate parents.

This is hardly new. When Walt Disney (1901-66) was still alive, the old “Wonderful World of Disney” TV show was filled with promotions for his Southern California theme park. That show became “The Wonderful World of Color” when it moved to NBC in the early 1960s, just in time to promote the need for color TVs, particularly those manufactured by RCA, owner of NBC at the time. ‘‘Simpsons” fans are very familiar with Krusty the Clown using his dubious fame to promote his many showbiz offshoots and personally endorsed products.

It’s just never good when network cross-promotion begins to seem like a “Simpsons” parody, as when stars of new Fox shows just “happen” be in the stands during the World Series, or when NBC uses the Olympics and other sporting events for a nonstop onslaught of brand synergy. Can’t get enough of Julie Chen on “Big Brother”? The “news” personality and wife of the CBS chief, Les Moonves, is also on CBS’ “Late Show With David Letterman” (10:35 p.m.) tonight.

Sometimes corporate crosspollination works spectacularly well: Disney churned out an entire film franchise named after its “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme park ride.

Tonight’s other highlights O Speaking of cross-promotion, the girls spend the season opener of “19 Kids and Counting” (8 p.m., TLC) promoting their new book, “Growing Up Duggar.”

O Fans of “Ink Master” (9 p.m., Spike) may enjoy “Tattoo Nightmares: Miami” (10 p.m.).

O A tradition since 1977, “Inside the NFL” (10 p.m., Showtime) returns to anticipate the new season. “60 Minutes Sports” (9 p.m.) precedes it, airing on the first Tuesday of the month.

BIRTHDAYS Dancer-actress Marge Champion is 95. Singer Jimmy Clanton is 74. Singer Joe Simon is 71. Pro and College Football Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw is 66.

International Tennis Hall of Famer Jimmy Connors is 62. Actress Salma Hayek is 48. Actor Jonathan Kite is 35.

Of course, eventually she ends up accidentally mentioning her other men, and that caves me in. Jane would never try to make me jealous, but she has no appreciation for my inability to deal with this. I have tried to go cold turkey and dump her completely, but I seem too susceptible to the possibility that she’ll change her mind and want me as a sweetheart again.

It would be easier if I had other romantic options, but at my age and selectivity, I’m not hopeful. Jane was a mistake that got out of hand, and I’m paying for it. Is there a way to build a strong and lasting friendship with Jane regardless of her involvement with other men? — Too Old Dear Too: No matter how nice Jane is, we suspect she enjoys

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014: This year you often find that you are tense about a domestic or personal matter. You also tend to experience a lot of confusion when dealing with others. If you are single, a partnership of significance is more likely to develop close to your next birthday. If you are attached, there could be a lot of tension surrounding your love life.

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) ++++ Someone whom you might have least expected to expound on his or her perspectives will do just that. Tonight: Imagine what it would be like to be someone else.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You seem to be in opposition to a partner’s idea. You see life differently from this person, and it could be the source of a disagreement. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You don’t need to give in to others’ requests, but it might be easier. Tonight: Enjoy going along with someone else’s plans.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ Your creativity will allow greater give-and-take between you and others. Tonight: Run an errand or two.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Deal with someone

making you a wee bit jealous. Otherwise, she wouldn’t mention her male friends. The age gap is not insurmountable, but if a romantic relationship isn’t in the cards, it will take time before you can have the type of friendship you seek. Since you are so susceptible, it might help to distance yourself more thoroughly from Jane and send her emails directly to your spam file. It’s hard to cool off when you both keep fanning the flames.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

directly in order to get the results you want. Tonight: On the prowl.
