Topeka — The first set of scores showing how well Kansas students are performing under the new Common Core standards for reading and math will be released today.

The Kansas State Board of Education will receive that report when it gathers for its regular two-day monthly meeting in Topeka.

The state board officially adopted the new standards in 2010, and school districts spent the next four years transitioning their classroom instruction to align with the SCHOOLS new expectations.

Known in Kansas as the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards, they were developed by a consortium of states and are intended to ensure students have the knowledge and skills they will need to enter college or the workforce by the time they graduate from high school.

Waste spills increase amid drilling boom

By John Flesher Associated Press

Crossroads, N.M. — Carl Johnson and son Justin, who have complained for years about spills of oilfield wastewater where they raise cattle in the high plains of New Mexico, stroll across a 1 1/2-acre patch of sandy soil — lifeless, save for a scattering of stunted weeds.

Five years ago, a broken pipe soaked the land with as much as 420,000 gallons of wastewater, a salty drilling byproduct that killed the shrubs and grass. It was among dozens of spills that have damaged the Johnsons’ grazing lands and made them worry about their groundwater.

“If we lose our water,” Justin Johnson said, “that ruins our ranch.”

Over 30 years, environmentalists have warmed up to Wolf Creek plant

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A quiet celebration took place Thursday near Burlington, where the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant celebrated its 30th anniversary.

The plant, which is jointly owned by Westar Energy, Kansas City Power and

Light and the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, officially began commercial operation on Sept. 3, 1985.

At the time, a mere six years after a major accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, Wolf Creek was a lightning rod for protests by Kansas environmental groups, and heated debates over the

safety and costs of nuclear energy.

But today, in the face of new information about the link between carbon emissions and global climate change, some environmental groups have begun to soften their attitudes toward nuclear power.

Another $2.9 million in federal Title III dollars was put to use specifically for technology.

One of the biggest tech upgrades happened in the residence halls — for the first time, all halls now have Internet access in the rooms.

There’s no buildingwide Wi-Fi because the walls are too thick, Prue said. But common areas have it, and students can get routers to enable WiFi within their respective rooms.

Another major improvement is the recon-

On Wednesday, the board will conduct a vision planning retreat from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kansas National Education Association building, 715 SW 10th Ave., in Topeka.

On Thursday, the board will conduct a mentoring session with the Kansas Educational Leadership Institute from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Kansas State University Alumni Center, 1720 Alumni Center, in Manhattan.

Zach Pistora, lobbyist for the Kansas Sierra Club, said his group still opposes nuclear energy as a long-term solution for the nation’s power needs, and believes the U.S. can eventually meet all of its needs with renewable sources such as wind and solar energy.

But he said he recognizes that it’s now a divisive issue within the environmental movement because of the more immediate concerns about climate change.

“I know for a lot of folks nuclear is a dividing issue because of carbon,” Pistora said. “We’ve got to make some pretty large moves on the carbon issue.”

Pistora, who is 27, was born three years after Wolf Creek went on line and thus has no memory of the controversy that once swirled around the plant’s construction.

But at that time in 1985, the expansion of nuclear power was among the most controversial issues in the country.

Two years earlier, ABC Motion Pictures released “Silkwood,” a movie based on the true story about the suspicious death of a whistleblower and union activist who worked at the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant in Oklahoma. It was nominated for five Oscars.

Partly as a result of public concerns, very few nuclear plants have been built since Wolf Creek.

The most recent was the Watts Bar 1 plant in Tennessee, which opened in 1996.

But Jeffrey Geuther, who teaches nuclear engineering at Kansas State University and manages the nuclear reactor on the K-State campus, said all that is about to change very soon, starting with a second unit at Watts Bar. “My understanding is that Watts Bar 2 is going to go critical late this year or early next year,” Geuther said. He also noted that at least four other plants are expected to be built in Georgia and South Carolina.

“I think for the environmental-minded folks, carbon dioxide emission is the big issue, and nuclear power is the quickest way to solve that problem, considering nuclear power plants produce so much more electricity at a baseload level than you would get out of wind power or solar power,” Geuther said.

Wolf Creek was initially licensed to operate for 40 years. But officials at the plant said it has received a 20-year extension, meaning it has at least another 30 years of operating life ahead of it.

Today, the plant’s output is rated at 1,250 megawatts, making it a significant portion of the total electricity production of the three companies that own it. Westar

and KCP&L serve nearly all customers in eastern Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area.

Currently, there are no plans to build another nuclear power plant in Kansas. Guether said that’s because there isn’t enough demand in Kansas currently to justify another 1-gigawatt power plant.

But he said it’s possible that could change, given the Environmental Protection Agency’s new Clean Power Plan, which utility officials say could force them to retire some of their aging coal-fired power plants.

“As a replacement for coal, I don’t see any reason why we wouldn’t install another nuclear plant in Kansas,” Geuther said.

Larry Erickson, president of the Kansas Natural Resource Council, a group that opposed building Wolf Creek in the 1980s, said attitudes toward nuclear power have shifted. But he said there are still plenty of concerns about it.

“Finding good places for nuclear waste continues to be an issue because it is around for a very long time,” he said.

“There is more support for wind and solar energy than nuclear energy.

“I rank nuclear energy above coal because of all of the environmental issues related to coal,” Erickson said.

Needed maintenance On top of the Title III retention and technology funded projects, Haskell also is completing a batch of maintenance projects.

Those include installing a new heating and cooling system in the Stidham Union, which Prue said would be closed until spring for the undertaking — a difficult job to retrofit in a 1965 building.

“They are having to invent an HVAC for it,” Prue said.

Kiva Hall is getting new windows, new flooring and foundation repairs; Blue Eagle Hall is getting a new heating and cooling system; and Curtis Hall required mudjacking to repair the foundation, Prue said.

Long process Haskell — the only federally run four-year university in the country — is required to go through often lengthy federal processes to secure funding for projects.

Prue said many of this summer’s projects have been in the planning stages for several years. He credited Haskell President Venida Chenault, who started working on them before she became president, and several other administrators with pushing them through.

“The procurement process can be a little bit slow in the government,” Prue said. “We’re seeing a lot of the projects we’ve been working on finally come to fruition.”

Students approve Residence halls are an important part of getting students engaged at college, socially and academically, Salvini said.

In the residence halls, the freshman men of Blalock Hall are living with some disruption, as workers complete renovations there, more extensive than the other halls.

In addition to new flooring throughout, Haskell is replacing Blalock’s original 1977 bathtubs plus other original furniture and bathroom fixtures that still remained.

In historic Pocahontas Hall, home to freshman and transfer women, students say they like their new room furniture as well as the plush —

Kansas first tried to administer tests aligned to the new standards in 2014, but a cyberattack on the computer system that manages the tests made it impossible for many students to complete the tests, and the state board agreed last summer not to use those scores for reporting purposes.

As a result, the scores being released Tuesday will be the first official set of scores under the new standards, and state officials say they will not be comparable to any previous scores.

Although students themselves may have little interest in the scores — they are not used for grades or determining whether a student can graduate — they are hugely important to teachers, building principals, administrators and state officials.

The scores are used to develop what are called Building Report Cards, which show the percent-

age of students, broken down by demographic groups, who are scoring at or above state expectations.

Those numbers, in turn, are used to evaluate teachers and principals.

They’re also used to determine whether particular buildings or districts need targeted help in order to raise their students’ performance levels.

And ultimately they are used to determine whether Kansas qualifies for federal K-12 education funding.

Department of Education officials said Tuesday’s report will only reflect statewide aggregate scores. They said it will take several more weeks to compile scores at the individual building and district level.

The new lecture classroom accounts for $921,000 of the Title III technology sum because it required changing the structure of the building, in addition to adding technology inside. The lecture hall is expected to be completed this month.

“That’s a big deal for us,” Prue said.

Other projects enabled by the technology funds include new computers in Tommaney Hall (the library), a new audio system in Coffin Sports Complex, “SMART” podiums and projectors in Blue Eagle Hall and computer upgrades campuswide, Prue said.

Mystery gas leak plagues home

Keeping hopes high

By Shawn F. Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

Tonganoxie — Scott Wogomon recently detected a strange smell outside his new home, so he contacted Kansas Gas Service to investigate the leak.

That was Aug. 18, and officials are still working to determine what exactly the gas is.

Kansas Gas Service visited the Wogomon home that day, tending to a gas meter on the property on North Hickory Street. In the process of the work, crews discovered an unknown gas in the soil.

After several tests, Kansas Gas workers found that the gas that was being detected wasn’t the natural gas substance the company supplies. “It’s not pipeline gas,� said Dawn Ewing, manager of communications for the Kansas Gas Service. “It’s been determined it’s a gas of an unknown source.�

Because of the unknown substance, Kansas Gas Service continued to do tests and asked that the Wogomon family not stay at the house.

The Wogomons are still dealing with the gas leak situation as of Monday.

Monday was their 21st day without natural gas, Sheila Wogomon said. She said the Kansas Department of Health and Environment has continued to test, but no one from the agency is there during the holiday weekend.

KDHE provided affected residents with methane detectors on Friday since no one from the agency would be on site for the extended weekend, Sheila Wogomon said.

She said no gas has been found in the atmosphere or in any homes over the weekend.

Sen. Tom Holland, a Democrat from Baldwin City, has been active behind the scenes working with state agencies as the family’s advocate, she said.

KGS drilled down into the ground throughout the property and requested that the gas and electricity be shut off at the Wogomon residence.

The company covered lodging and some dining costs for the family for several days. Then the family moved back into the house.

Sheila Wogomon said electricity was turned back on that day at the house, but KGS won’t return natural gas service to the property until it’s determined exactly what the unknown gas is.

In the meantime, the family, which moved into the home in early April, has tried to function without the use of hot water.

Kansas Department of Health and Environment has been conducting tests on the soil in recent days.

Tonganoxie City Administrator Nathan McCommon said officials are waiting to learn of KDHE’s research results.

The Wogomons invited neighbors to their block in late August so they could ask any questions of area officials.

McCommon, Tonganoxie Mayor Jason Ward, Tonganoxie City Fire Chief Jack Holcom and Tonganoxie City Council member Curtis Oroke were on hand at the meeting, along with representatives from Kansas Gas Service.

AmeriCorps worker tracks goals with psychological ‘Hope Scale’

By Micki Chestnut United Way of Douglas County

Amanda Ciambrone is a big believer in the power of hope to transform lives.

She’s seen it happen over and over again as a United Way of Douglas County AmeriCorps member serving at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. Now she has the data to prove it.

Ciambrone is one of eight members who served at six host sites providing one-on-one coaching to help patients become healthier.

The United Way, which is focused on achieving measurable results in its three community goals — education, health and self sufficiency — wanted to test the intervention to ensure it was working. “In the long term, are

squishy as that sounds.�

So during the last service year, which concluded in July, Ciambrone and the other AmeriCorps members working in the health goal began using the Hope Scale to quantify the impact they were having in helping those they served reach their health goals.

The Hope Scale was developed by former Kansas University professor C.R. Snyder, an internationally acclaimed researcher in the field of positive psychology. Snyder’s research showed that people’s capacity to make positive changes in their lives, like quitting smoking, losing Please see HOPE, page 4A

Maysville, Mo. — The demanding daily chores of a farmer were always a little different for Alda Owen, who is legally blind, able to see some blurry shapes and very close objects but not much else.

It was like that for years on the 260-acre farm she shares with her husband in northwest Missouri until a bull knocked a gate into her, requiring 60 stitches in her left leg.

Owen’s daughter decided her proud mother needed a helping hand — or in this case, a wagging tail: Sweet Baby Jo, a friendly, en-

ergetic border collie who helps control the couple’s Angus cattle.

The pairing was made possible through a nonprofit, believed to be the only one of its kind in the United States, that trains dogs specifically for farmers with disabilities.

“People think of farmers as rugged and tough,” Allenbrand said. “When you see a big, burly farmer crying after they get a dog because they know they can keep farming, you see what a difference it’s making. That’s what drives us.”

PHARM Dog USA trains Labrador retrievers and Lab mixes for service skills, such as retrieving tools, carrying buckets or opening gates, while border collies are trained only to herd and help control cattle and other animals. The farmers never pay for the dogs, which are donated or rescued

weight or managing their anxiety, depended upon their level of hope. People with high levels of hope, Snyder found, were better able to figure out how to set and achieve their goals.

As a result, they had improved outcomes in life, such as higher academic achievement and lower levels of depression.

The AmeriCorps members had the individuals they worked with take a hope survey prior to beginning their health coaching sessions to determine the participants’ hope scores. During the ensuing personal coaching sessions, the members assisted the participants in setting personal health goals and taking steps to achieve their goals.

For example, Ciambrone created a walking group to support people’s fitness goals, and regularly took groups to walk on the track at Sports Pavilion Lawrence.

“We’re educating them on the resources available to them, and assisting them in getting those resources.

Knowing there are options might increase their hope,” Ciambrone explained.

At the conclusion of the sessions, the participants took the hope survey once again. The post-test results proved the intervention worked.

Of the 95 people who met

BBB: Use caution at state fairs Hutchinson — The Better Business Bureau wants consumers to be cautious when making purchases at state fairs.

The Topeka Capital Journal said the Better Business Bureau is calling on the public to “exercise smart consumerism.”

The Kansas State Fair,

along with the exhibits and contests, starts Friday and lasts for 10 days at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson.

The Better Business Bureau says the Federal Trade Commission’s “cooling-off rule,” which lets consumers change their mind about purchases within three days, doesn’t apply to the state fair if the value of the item is less than $25, the goods and services aren’t primarily for personal, family or household purposes or if the purchase is of insurance, securities or real estate, motor vehicles or arts and crafts.

from shelters, and agriculture rehabilitation groups pay for the training.

It takes about a year to determine if a dog has the intelligence and temperament to be a service dog, according to Bobby Miller, a Plattsburg, Mo., rancher who also trains border collies, including Sweet Baby Jo. The biggest challenge is matching a farmer’s specific needs with the right dog, said Don McKay, an Iowa farmer who trains border collies.

“Dogs have different abilities, just like people,” he said, adding that the first days can be bumpy but most matches work out once the pair improves communication.

The emotional support is as important as the work Sweet Baby Jo does, Owen said. Now 62, Owen spent most of her life hiding her disability and staying within a small comfort zone. Since she got Sweet Baby Jo, Owen has started traveling and speaking at panels about farmers with disabilities.

“It gave me back my self-esteem and pride,”

Owen said.

Troy Balderston, who has been in a wheelchair since a car accident in 2010 left him a quadriplegic, said he wouldn’t be able to work on a feedlot in Norton or live on his farm near Beaver City, Neb., without Duke, his border collie provided by PHARM Dog and trained

by McKay. “Duke keeps me safe.

He keeps the cattle from running me over,” Balderston said. “He’s a great worker and a great companion.”

PHARM Dog USA has had inquiries from farmers in several other states — including New York, Colorado and Mississippi — but Allenbrand said it isn’t yet financially possible to meet those needs.

She hopes to someday have corporate sponsorship to expand the effort, because “there are farmers all over the country who need this service,” she said. “It’s important that we help them.”

with the AmeriCorps members, 57 percent had an increase in their hope score.

One of those was a man Ciambrone worked with last year at Bert Nash who suffered from severe anxiety. During the one-on-one coaching sessions, he shared that his goal was to engage more socially, so Ciambrone encouraged him to attend several groups she managed, such as an art explorations class and a walking group.

“I made sure we could get him to group, and to keep him connected,” Ciambrone said. “He’s been really happy.”

Another was a man who was experiencing chronic pain and complex dental issues.

“He had a lot of stuff going on. He has a lower income and is trying to find work,” Ciambrone explained.

A goal he identified was to address his dental problems, which he believed were preventing him from finding work and engaging socially. She helped him connect with a program that provided him with dentures and also invited

him to attend the art exploration class. The social interaction he’s gained from the classes, and the new teeth, have opened doors for him.

“Now it’s easier for him to find work, with teeth, and he can be more social,” she said.

During the current AmeriCorps service year, which began in August and will conclude in August of 2016, the members will once again use the Hope Scale to measure results.

“The experts tell us the critical components of hope are being able to imagine the possibilities and having the tools to realize those possibilities,” Dvorske said. “Many of the folks we serve might be able to imagine those possibilities but do not have the tools. Through our AmeriCorps program, we are trying to see how we can get the tools in the hands of people who can imagine greater possibilities.”

Women abused by ISIS need help

EDITORIALS

Amnesty optimism It seems unlikely that a state tax amnesty program will raise $30 million in additional revenue, but Kansans should hope the state meets and exceeds that goal.

L

ike many of the revenue predictions issued by the state in recent years, the suggestion that a tax amnesty program that began this week will add $30 million to state coffers seems a bit optimistic.

That’s the figure that was plugged into the state budget during negotiations a few months ago. If the amnesty program falls short of that goal, it could trigger a need to make additional cuts in state spending. With that in mind, Kansans should be encouraging everyone who owes back taxes to pay up.

The $30 million would be less than 10 percent of the estimated $274.8 million in tax debt that the Kansas Department of Revenue says is eligible for the amnesty program. People who owe back taxes have until Oct. 15 to pay those taxes without penalties or interest. Among the taxes covered by the amnesty program are income tax, estate tax, withholding tax, sales tax and tobacco tax. Applications and more information about the amnesty program are available from the Department of Revenue.

The big question here is how great an enticement the amnesty program will be for people who want to clear their debts. A Department of Revenue representative told a Wichita newspaper this week that Kansans should take advantage of the amnesty program because “there’s no guarantee that a program like this will ever come up again.”

That’s sort of a hard sell considering that it’s only been five years since the department’s last amnesty event in 2010. In fact, the $30 million figure for the current amnesty event was based on the experience during previous amnesty periods, the representative said, so it’s not exactly a once-in-a-lifetime offer.

Nonetheless, Kansans certainly should hope that the amnesty program meets or exceeds expectations. With monthly state revenues continuing to fall below state estimates, Kansas coffers need all the help they can get.

Recently, I wrote about the lack of global outrage over the Islamic State’s enslavement and rape of thousands of Iraqi girls and women.

I’ve found the outrage.

The column provoked a deluge of email from readers asking what they can do for these young women. So here are some suggestions on how you can help.

There is a pressing need to mobilize more public awareness about this ongoing tragedy and to galvanize U.S. politicians to do more for the victims. Meantime, concerned readers can donate to humanitarian aid organizations such as Yazda, which seeks to provide support and counseling for girls who have escaped.

So far, this modern-day slave trade has received startlingly little global media coverage. Most victims come from the Yazidi religious minority, an ancient non-Muslim sect that the Islamic State regards as infidels. The jihadis justify their rape of Yazidis (and sometimes of Christians) with selective quotes from the Quran; they buy and sell the girls on an open market or hand them as chattel to Islamic State fighters.

The girls were seized a year ago when the Islamic State invaded northern Iraq and decimated their communities.

The lack of coverage is especially surprising given that one Islamic State victim was a 25-year-old U.S. aid worker, Kayla Mueller, captured in Syria and forced to become the personal sex slave of leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi be-

The jihadis justify their rape of Yazidis (and sometimes of Christians) with selective quotes from the Quran; they buy and sell the girls on an open market or hand them as chattel to Islamic State fighters.” fore, she was killed, allegedly in a coalition air strike.

Coverage of this tragedy has paled compared with the headlines generated when the jihadi group Boko Haram kidnapped around 300 Nigerian schoolgirls. The Nigerian girls were never rescued and little is known of their whereabouts. But 10 times as many Yazidis are in captivity and much more is known about their situation.

An international publicity campaign — hashtag #SaveYazidiGirls — might encourage Arab or Western governments to seek ways to rescue some of the victims. It might also attract celebrity attention, which in turn draws media: Angelina Jolie, take notice.

Toward that goal, concerned readers can also sign

the change.org petition calling on President Obama to help the girls (www.yazda.org/changeorg-petition). The petition is being promoted by Yazda, an aid organization founded by a group of talented young Yazidi Americans (several of whom emigrated here after working as translators for the U.S. military during the Iraq war).

The effort has collected nearly 50,000 signatures.

Politicians notice such petitions when the number of signatories soars. A similar change.org petition that was started by a Yazidi high school student in Coventry, England, garnered 200,000 signatures and drew the attention of British media and members of parliament. If the U.S. petition could outdo the British numbers, it might finally galvanize the White House, Congress and the media.

That in turn, might generate more U.S. help for Kurdish forces, notably Syrian Kurds who have rescued many Yazidis. It might inspire more targeted coalition air strikes to rescue enslaved captives, or more funds for middlemen to extricate some of the girls.

And the petition might also promote more U.S. government and private aid for the hundreds of women and girls who have escaped the Islamic State. The Kurdish regional government that is hosting them is overburdened, and the Iraqi (and neighboring Arab) governments have done little to help.

“When the women escape, they are still living under very difficult conditions,” says Abid Shamden, one of Yaz-

da’s founders who now works as a senatorial aide in the Nebraska legislature. Most of the survivors, some as young as 11, are stuck in desolate refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Many have endured multiple rapes and seen their male relatives slaughtered.

“One of the biggest problems is providing psychological therapy to the escapees.” says Matthew Barber, a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago and expert on Yazidi culture. “They are so emotionally damaged the question is whether they can have a normal life.”

Unusually for the Middle East, with its shame culture that stigmatizes female victims of rape, the Yazidi community and its religious leaders have fully accepted these victims back into the community, Barber told me.

But few counseling resources are available in Iraqi Kurdistan, and only a handful of small aid organizations focus primarily on the rape victims. With volunteers and staff who speak the Yazidi dialect, Yazda is setting up a counseling program, in cooperation with the Christian aid group Samaritan’s Purse. To donate, visit www.yazda.org.

Other groups helping Yazidi women and children in camps include UNICEF (http://supportunicef.org/iraq) and the International Rescue Committee (www.rescue.org).

The female victims of the Islamic State barbarity deserve a second chance at life.

Schools must adapt to new demands

By Thomas E. Perez and Arne Duncan The Philadelphia Inquirer

If you have school-age children like we do, you’ve probably heard the following question after a particularly challenging homework assignment or classroom project: When am I going to use this in the real world?

Every parent understands that what kids learn in the classroom will help them in later life. But sometimes it’s hard — even for us as the nation’s secretaries of labor and education — to explain how abstract concepts relate to practical applications. Why? For one thing, we have a 21st century economy, but much of our K-12 education system remains stuck in the 20th century. What kids learn at school isn’t always aligned with the skills they’ll need as adult professionals.

To prepare all students for the 21st century workforce, we must do a better job of teaching job-ready skills and equipping the next generation to thrive in the global economy.

As the columnist Tom Friedman points out, 21st century workers need the knowledge, flexibility and ingenuity to thrive in jobs that haven’t even been invented yet.

That requires creativity and foresight of our nation’s schools. Students should have a solid foundation in the basics, but they also need technical know-how to match the technology they’ll inevitably work with. And they need employability skills — like critical thinking, collaboration and communication.

Some high schools are rising to the challenge. In addition to core classes, they’re offering instruction in robotics,

“

To prepare all students for the 21st century workforce, we must do a better job of teaching job-ready skills and equipping the next generation to thrive in the global economy.”

computer programming, even nanotechnology. These courses are developed in collaboration with local employers who understand that working with schools will benefit their communities and their bottom lines.

Some communities are taking this to the next level, creating formal partnerships among industry, community colleges and the K-12 system.

In Brooklyn, Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) is a unique arrangement among IBM, the City University of New York, and the New York City Department of Education. This six-year high school allows students to graduate with a high school diploma, an associate’s degree and the industry experience they need to compete for high-demand jobs. They also have “first in line” preference for employment with IBM. It’s precisely the kind of innovative approach needed to compete in the 21st century economy.

This model has been replicated successfully across the country; today, about 40 schools nationwide are partnering with more than 70 privatesector employers in various industries.

Last summer, we traveled together to Toledo Technical Academy in Ohio

and were blown away by the state-ofthe-art skills of its robotics team.

We want to help take this model to scale. Last year, the Obama administration invested $107 million in Youth CareerConnect grants to support similar efforts nationwide. The Toledo Public Schools won funds to scale up their efforts even further.

In the decades ahead, middle-class jobs will require more than a high school diploma but not necessarily a four-year degree. That’s why President Barack Obama has called for free community college for all responsible students.

With more than five million job vacancies in the United States right now, our training programs must align with employer needs, and the nation’s community college system is the obvious place to turn. In the future, we must provide students with a strong academic foundation that links classroom activities with real-world issues and careers.

Students can no longer sit down after graduation and apply for jobs from the classified section. They need career training long before they receive their diplomas. The K-14 model does exactly that. With technical education, experience in the workplace, and mentors in their chosen field, these young people gain a solid career footing and a chance to punch their ticket to the middle class. They have no doubt that what they’re learning is relevant to the workplace and that those skills will help them succeed in the real world.

“

Oil spills may look bad, but we know how to clean them up. Brine spills are much more difficult.”

— Kerry Sublette, University of Tulsa environmental engineer spilled doubled from 21.1 million gallons in 2009 to 43 million in 2013.

Industry groups said waste is often recovered during cleanups, although some can soak into the ground.

“You’re going to have spills in an industrial society,” said Katie Brown, spokeswoman for Energy In Depth, a research arm of the Independent Petroleum Association of America. “But there are programs in place to reduce them.”

Concentrated brine, much saltier than seawater, exists in rock thousands of feet underground.

When oil and gas are pumped to the surface, the water comes up too, along with fluids and chemicals injected to crack open rock — the process known as hydraulic fracturing.

The spills usually occur as oil and gas are channeled to metal tanks for separation from the wastewater, and the water is delivered to a disposal site.

Pipelines, tank trucks and pits are involved.

Equipment malfunctions or human error

cause most spills, according to state reports.

Landowners speak out The loudest whistleblowers about spills are often property owners, who must allow drilling access to their land if they don’t own the mineral rights.

“Most ranchers are very attached to the land,” said Jeff Henry, president of the Osage County Cattlemen’s Association in Oklahoma. “It’s where we derive our income, raise our families.”

Some are reluctant to complain about an industry that is the economic backbone of their communities.

“If they treat us right, we’re all friends of oil,” said Mike Artz, a grower in North Dakota’s Bottineau County who lost a fiveacre barley crop in 2013 after a saltwater pipeline rupture. “But right now, it’s just a horse running without the bridle.”

Tessa Sandstrom of the North Dakota Petroleum Council said the industry is supporting research on spill prevention and land restoration. When spills do happen, she said, most are cleaned up within a year, with tainted soil cleansed or replaced.

But in New Mexico, the Johnson ranchers said the site of their 2010 spill has not returned to life.

“It will never, ever be like it was,” said Justin Johnson. “It will never fully recover.”

IN THIS APRIL 24 PHOTO, CARL JOHNSON, RIGHT, and his son, Justin, check a storage tank used for watering livestock on their ranch near Crossroads, N.M. For about 20 years, the tank was unusable because the aquifer that provided the water was contaminated with oilfield brine that a company disposed of improperly.

Widespread problems The AP obtained data from Texas, North Dakota, California, Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, Utah and Montana — states that account for more than 90 percent of U.S. onshore oil production. In 2009, there were 2,470 reported spills in the 11 states; by 2014, the total was 4,643. The amount

Their plight illustrates a side effect of oil and gas production that has worsened with the past decade’s drilling boom: spills of wastewater that foul the land, kill wildlife and threaten water supplies.

An Associated Press analysis of data from leading oil- and gas-producing states found more than 180 million gallons of wastewater spilled from 2009 to 2014 in incidents involving ruptured pipes, overflowing storage tanks and even deliberate dumping. There were some 21,651 individual spills. The numbers are incomplete because many releases go unreported.

Though oil spills get more attention, wastewater spills can be more damaging. Microbes in soil eventually degrade spilled oil. Not so with wastewater — also known as brine, produced water or saltwater. Unless thoroughly cleansed, salt-saturated land dries up. Trees die.

Crops cannot take root.

“Oil spills may look bad, but we know how to clean them up,” said Kerry Sublette, a University of Tulsa environmental engineer. “Brine spills are much more difficult.”

In addition to extreme salinity, the fluids often contain heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury. Some ranchers said they have lost cattle that lapped up the liquids or ate tainted grass.

“They get real thin. It messes them up,” said Melvin Reed of Shidler, Okla. “Sometimes you just have to shoot them.”

Two refugees smile as they are greeted with presents upon their family’s arrival by train in Munich on Monday. Up to 800,000 migrants are likely by the end of the year.

France, U.K. open to 44,000 refugees As Europe copes with historic migrant crisis, nations add to German pledge of $6.6B

Kim Hjelmgaard and Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

BERLIN France and Britain on Monday offered haven to a combined 44,000 migrants, the latest efforts by Europe to cope with its worst migration crisis since World War II. French President François Hollande said that in accepting 24,000 migrants France had a duty to help people who are fleeing war and that he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had agreed on a system to more equally spread the load. Hollande said Germany, which is taking in the most migrants, should not shoulder the entire burden for addressing the problem.

British Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament on Monday that they had a moral responsibility to take in 20,000 of those fleeing oppression, and said children and orphans will be given priority, according to the Associated Press.

The twin announcements follow a pledge of $6.6 billion made

by Germany late Sunday night to care for hundreds of thousands entering the country. The aid package will provide asylum seekers improved housing, language courses and enhanced security.

The United States has made no such commitments, although it has sent $4 billion in humanitarian aid to Syria’s neighbors since the crisis began, and is considering more. “The administration is actively considering a range of approaches to be more responsive to the global refugee crisis, including with regard to refugee resettlement,” said Peter Boogaard, a spokesman for the National Security Council.

migrants has sparked a backlash in the country. In recent months refugee centers across Germany have been the subject of apparent attacks by anti-migrant extremists. On Sunday night, five residents of a refugee shelter near Stuttgart were injured when a fire was started. Police said they suspected arson.

Germany and France are calling for a quota system so migrants are more evenly distributed across the 28-nation European Union.

“Germany is a country willing to take people in, but refugees can be received in all countries of the European Union in such a way that they can find refuge from civil war and from persecution,” Merkel said Monday in Berlin. She said other EU nations need to do more.

Up to 800,000 migrants are likely by the end of the year.

v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

WASHINGTON Members of Congress return from summer recess facing a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the federal government, a deadline they are certain to miss, as they have each of the past 18 years. The question is: Will the government shut down Oct. 1, or can lawmakers agree to a temporary spending plan while they argue about a longer-term solution?

The “normal” congressional budget process involves the House and Senate passing 12 separate spending bills for various agencies and programs around the government, each of which must be signed by the president by the time federal spending authority expires Sept. 30. But according to the Congressional Research Service, Congress has failed to fund all or most federal agencies by the Sept. 30 deadline every year since 1997. Instead, lawmakers pass a series of temporary funding measures — called “continuing resolutions” — and then wrap most of the funding into a single “omnibus” spending package.

This year, the House has passed a handful of spending bills that President Obama has threatened to veto for reasons ranging from funding cuts to disputes over policy mandates; the Senate has passed none. Obama said Saturday that a government shutdown “would be wildly irresponsible” and urged Congress to pass a spending bill that would move beyond the government-wide spending caps called “sequester” that have constrained every federal agency’s budget.

“If they pass a budget with shortsighted sequester cuts that harm our military and our economy, I’ll veto it,” Obama said. “If they make smart investments in our military readiness, our infrastructure, our schools, public health and research, I’ll sign that budget — and they know that.”

“In the end it always gets framed around some hot-button issue in order to take your eyes off the prize” of reducing the nation’s $18 trillion debt, freshman Rep. Dave Brat, R-Va., said.

This year, that hot-button issue is de-funding Planned Parenthood after the release of edited undercover videos suggesting the group was “selling” tissue from aborted fetuses — an allegation the group denies.

Colbert is ready to put his own stamp on ‘Late Show’ Gary Levin USA TODAY

One more seat is being filled in the late-night talk show host world Tuesday, and while it won’t be a new face, it will be a new act.

When Stephen Colbert takes the stage as successor to David Letterman on CBS’ Late Show, a new era will be ushered in. For one thing, Colbert, formerly of Comedy Central, will doubtless attract a younger audience than Letterman, whose viewers’ median age was over 60. And in contrast to technophobe Dave, Colbert has embraced promotion

on social media, parceling out viral videos all summer as fastturnaround “finger exercises.”

Last week he sparred with Jeb Bush on Twitter and churned out a series of Snapchat videos.

Colbert says filling Letterman’s shoes as host of CBS’s Late Show was the only second act he could get truly excited about.

“I started college when he started the (NBC) show, so Dave … was a significant influence” that’s reflected in Colbert’s humor. “His anti-authority quality served all of us well.” Still, he’s ready to make his own mark.

With Jon Stewart retired and Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kim-

FREDERICK M. BROWN, GETTY IMAGES

Stephen Colbert spoke with David Letterman to get tips about the gig.

mel veering toward other topics, Colbert claims the mantle of political humor. He says he chose his premiere for the day after Labor Day because it’s a traditional start to the presidential campaign, and he’s “uniquely positioned” to tackle politics because of the relationships with politicians forged over the past decade.

He insists he’s not the liberal-indisguise people might think. He wants conservatives on his show, including Donald Trump.

Because he has such big shoes to fill, Colbert says he has talked with Letterman about the gig.

“He mostly spoke and I mostly listened,” Colbert says. “A couple

weeks before he went off the air, I said, ‘Can I come talk to you?’ We sat in his outer office ... and then I started asking him things about the show, nuts and bolts.

“He got down to the theater in a hand-driven brass-handled freight elevator. ... To get from the offices you have to go down to the basement and crawl through the ‘Jackie Gleason tunnels,’ (so called) because Gleason would use them to get to a trap door to get to a bar next door. I said, ‘Would you show me how to run the freight elevator?’ And he goes, ‘Absolutely! ... So he taught me how to run it. It was like handing me the keys to the car.”

VOICES Trevor Hughes @trevorhughes USA TODAY

BLACK ROCK CITY, NEV. As you read this, nearly 70,000 dirty, dusty and exhausted people are making their way home from a remote Nevada desert carrying a renewed faith in humanity and recommitted to appreciating the beauty of life.

I’m one of them.

I was assigned to cover Burning Man in large part because it has such a reputation for drawing the California tech crowd.

My editors wanted to explore the conflict created by those ultra-rich tech titans plunking down luxury encampments within the otherwise egalitarian event.

Aside from that angle, there’s the sheer spectacle of this mass of strangers building a temporary city in the desert, partying for a week and then tearing it down. On that front, Burning Man didn’t disappoint. All of us, myself included, were both spectators and participants in a 24hour-a-day event that defies efforts to describe it.

Yes, there really was a dustcontrolled orgy dome. Yes, there was a line to get in. And no, I didn’t. There were elaborate costumes, buses turned into mobile dance parties and a whole lot of naked people biking around the desert. I saw people getting massaged with car-wax buffers, watched a glass fish sculpture fight the wind and photographed strangers drinking Kirkland sparkling wine while standing atop a fire-breathing rhinoceros.

After Burning Man, lessons for Everyman TREVOR HUGHES, USA TODAY

A neon sign in the middle of the desert at Burning Man reminds attendees to spend less time worrying about the rest of the world and to focus on their current experience.

That was my experience.

Yours would be different. Burning Man is so big, so sprawling, so seemingly random that there’s no way you’ll ever re-create the same visit. Heck, I have friends here I never even found because everyone’s always out experiencing everything else.

Want to hear a TED Talk?

They’ve got that. Want to shoot sunrise photos deep in the desert where you feel totally alone?

You can do that, too.

Sure, I saw the luxury camps.

Yes, there really was a dust-controlled orgy dome.

Yes, there was a line to get in.

And no, I didn’t.

They seemed nice. If I had lots of money, I’d be tempted to stay in one, especially having gone without a shower for a week. But by and large, the conflict between those camps and the rest of the city exists in the media. Instead, I found thousands of people happy to be sharing what they had with each other.

One “Burner” explained that the folks who stay in those luxury camps never really understand what Burning Man is really about, and they just come

to party. And, she added, that’s OK. No one here is going to judge you for how you choose to live your life, she said. That’s something people in the “Default World” do.

It’s a temporary utopia of course, made possible because the vast majority of attendees come prepared for a week, and those who come generally have some money to create those elaborate costumes or spend hundreds of dollars a night for propane to power a flamethrower. Entry tickets alone cost about $400, and more if you want to drive a car in. As another of my new friends said, Burning Man is only 48 hours away from chaos if organizers stop emptying the port-a-potties. Thankfully, they didn’t.

For a brief, shining, fiery period, Burning Man represents the good things about society: kindness, sharing and presence. People put down their cellphones and made new friends, and reconnected with old ones. They chatted with strangers and gave away pancakes or mimosas or home-brewed beer or custom bracelets.

I never felt unsafe or worried I wouldn’t fit in. People gave me hugs. So many hugs.

And it is so brief. While attendees saw amazing costumes and beautiful art, many of the most striking sculptures and installations were burned to the ground before the week was over. It’s a reminder that beauty is temporary, and that perhaps we ought to put down the cellphones more often and appreciate and actually participate in life just a little bit more.

That’s good advice for all of us.

others are seeking a better economic life.

Over the weekend, thousands of people crossed into Germany and Austria following days effectively marooned in Hungary, which would not let them leave amid confusion over the EU’s migration policy. Hungary has stood out as a hostile destination for migrants, even building a fence to keep them out.

On Monday, hundreds of asylum seekers broke through police lines near Hungary’s southern border with Serbia and marched north toward Budapest, chanting “Germany! Germany!” the AP reported. Officers offered no resistance. A similar surge Friday of people from Budapest toward Austria forced Hungary to bus thousands to the Austrian border.

Other key funnel points are Greek islands clustered a few miles from Turkish shores. On Lesbos, the profusion of refugees from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan arriving in rubber boats was reaching crisis levels Monday. As asylum seekers encountered long waits for Greek documents allowing them to transit to the European mainland, tensions rose between the 15,000 to 20,000 asy-

A grim mystery sparked by the discovery of a child’s body parts in a Chicago lagoon stretched into a third day Monday as the coroner’s office said the head of the toddler was found.

Officers returned to Garfield Park on the city’s West Side, looking for clues that could determine the child’s identity. The investigation began Saturday when a passerby found a child’s foot floating in the lagoon and alerted police.

A brief statement Monday from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office says the head appears to be from an AfricanAmerican child of between 2 and 3 years old, the Associated Press reported. The statement doesn’t mention the victim’s gender.

In an interview Sunday evening conducted jointly by the AP and the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Walter Palmer said he intends to return to his suburban Minneapolis dental practice

Tuesday. He has spent more than a month out of sight after becoming the target of protests and threats after he killed Cecil in the Hwange National Park.

Palmer again stressed that he believes he acted legally and that he was stunned to find out his hunting party had killed one of Zimbabwe’s prized animals.

As supporters of jailed Kentucky clerk Kim Davis prepared for a rally Tuesday featuring Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, Davis’s attorneys spent the weekend fighting a judge’s order that sent her there.

Davis has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. A new appeal, filed Monday with the federal appeals court in Cincinnati, came four days after the Rowan County clerk was held in contempt of court for defying a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalizes gay marriage. Davis cited her religious beliefs.

uItaly’s top criminal court has formally vindicated Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend once and for all, saying Monday it threw out their convictions for the 2007 murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in part because there was no proof they were in the apartment bedroom where the woman was fatally stabbed.

A representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Alessandra Morelli, told the Telegraph that exceptional measures are called for. “People are arriving every day and there are not enough ferries to take them to Athens to the point where it’s a crisis.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said an EU quota system did not make sense because of the EU’s open-border policy. Orban has consistently referred to Europe’s migrant crisis as a “German problem.” “(Migrants) want to live a German life,” he said Monday. “It has nothing to do with security.”

Berlin said Sunday it would introduce measures to make it easier to deport asylum seekers from nations it deems to be “safe,” such as Albania and Serbia. Thousands from the Balkans are also trying to relocate to the EU. Zoroya reported from McLean, Va.

Obama: GOP has hurt ‘working people’

After unveiling plan to expand sick leave, he takes aim at 2016 field Erin Kelly USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama chastised Republicans on Monday for trying to “re-brand themselves as the party of the middle class” while opposing efforts to raise the minimum wage and bragging about busting unions.

“You can’t say you care about working people and then do things that hurt working people,” Obama said in a Labor Day speech to the Greater Boston Labor Council.

The president sought to highlight the sharp divide between Democrats and Republicans on workplace issues heading into the 2016 presidential race.

While flying to the Boston event from Washington, Obama signed an executive order requiring federal contractors to offer employees up to seven paid sick days a year. The president said that would give more than 300,000 workers paid sick leave for the first time. About 40% of Americans who work in the private sector don’t get that benefit, Obama said.

The Republican-led Congress has opposed his efforts to give paid sick leave to all Americans, raise the minimum wage, and provide paid family leave to care for babies or sick relatives.

world, work together in a bipartisan fashion, find a way to make paid family and medical leave a reality for all Americans,” the president said. “It will be good for business, not bad for business.”

GOP lawmakers say the proposals would burden American businesses, increasing their costs and forcing them to raise prices for consumer goods and services.

“Republicans know that with a quality education, a good job and the freedom to make their own economic choices, there is nothing an American can’t accomplish,” Republican National Committee co-chairs Reince Priebus and Sharon Day said in a statement Monday. “Unfortunately, the Democrats have not provided those solutions.”

Yale is anointed best college in USA, based on key metrics Top 10 schools do the shuffle in College Factual’s latest analysis Kristen Rein USA TODAY

Yale’s 2019 freshman class already knew they were attending an elite institution. Unknown to them was exactly how elite the institution is.

Its 1,364 incoming freshmen are officially attending the top school in the U.S., according to new data released today by College Factual.

Last year’s top choice, the University of Pennsylvania, dropped to second place, while Duke held firm in third. Rounding out the remaining seven spots were more familiar institutions — all schools that made an appearance on the 2015 list. This year’s list is similar in composition, but placement within the top 10 shuffled.

“The two factors that seem to cause the shuffling comes down to time to completion amongst graduating classes — with each school just slightly over four years — but slight improvements getting to a rate of four years,” says Bill Phelan, co-founder and CEO of College Factual.

“The second factor involves slight improvement in freshman retention rate — this would indicate that the schools are getting better at more precise placement of students within programs. It’s worth noting that shuffling amongst these schools will continue to change every year, with ever-so-slight variances as other schools also strive to improve,” he adds.

These rankings look different from other lists and for good reason — instead of burying methodology in fine print at the bottom of the list, College Factual puts theirs up front. Freshman retention rate, the number of full-time teachers and student loan default rates are all key components in the final rankings.

“Our rankings are “datadriven” and not built upon surveys of college administrators in the industry,” Phelan says. “You would never pick the winner of the SuperBowl based upon gathering the opinion of all the coaches in the NFL.”

This data-driven methodology is what allowed Yale to rise to the top of the 1,394 universities studied. Here’s a closer look at College Factual’s three overall best U.S. colleges:

The private research school has a freshman retention rate of 99% — higher than any of the 1,393 schools on this year’s list.

Additionally, the school has the highest on-time graduation rate in the country, at 89%.

DUKE

Over 96% of the teachers on staff at Penn are full-time, making the Philadelphia school a true standout. At a remarkable 45 points above the national average, students at Penn have the benefit of learning from staff members who are dedicated to instruction.

Also an anomaly in the higher education landscape is the low student loan default rate at this Durham, N.C., school. A default rate of only 1% — eight points below the national average — indicates that Duke University is doing a stellar job “helping students afford to attend college without undue reliance on loans.”

Obama, stopping short of naming any GOP presidential candidates, talked about how one Republican was bragging about how he busted unions in his state.

The president was clearly referring to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who became nationally known for restricting the collective bargaining power of state employee unions as part of his efforts to cut the state budget.

Quoting Sen. Edward Kennedy, Obama said, “What is it about working men and women that they find so offensive?”

NEW YORK A man was killed and several other people injured — including an aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — in a series of stabbings and shootings ahead of Monday’s West Indian Day parade here, police said.

The stabbing death and the first shooting happened at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza after violence broke out about 2 a.m. near where a separate predawn march was scheduled to start at 4 a.m.

One man had a gunshot wound and another was stabbed, police said. The two men were taken to New York Methodist Hospital, where the stabbing victim, age 24, died. The shooting victim, 21, was shot in the buttocks. He was likely to recover.

The Cuomo aide, Carey Gabay, 43, who is the Empire State Development’s first deputy counsel, was shot in the head in nearby Crown Heights about 3:40 a.m., police said, adding that he was caught in the crossfire as two gangs exchanged fire. He was listed in grave condition at Kings County Hospital. No arrests had made been, police said.

“I’m the governor of the state of New York, and there’s not a thing I can do,” Cuomo told reporters after he visited Gabay’s family at the hospital. “And sometimes it just hurts.”

In an earlier statement, Cuomo said: “Carey is an outstanding public servant who joined our administration in 2011. He is a Harvard-educated lawyer who works for the state because he wants to give back to others and make a difference. He is just 43 years old and is a kind-hearted man.”

Bloodshed before or after the celebration has become a familiar part of the parade. Last year, a recent parolee opened fire into a crowd of revelers, killing one man and wounding several others. And in 2013, a 1-year-old boy sitting in his stroller was killed by a bullet meant for his father.

Doctors urged to screen teens for major depression But only if patients have access to services, treatment Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Doctors should screen teenagers for major depression, a federal advisory group said Monday, but only if their young patients have access to mental health professionals who can diagnose them, provide treatment and monitor their progress.

That’s a big “if.”

Mental health services are in

short supply for anyone, but especially teens, said Jeffrey Lieberman, a professor and chairman of psychiatry at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.

States have cut billions of dollars from mental health programs in recent years, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors says.

Only 36% to 44% of children and adolescents with depression receive treatment, according to draft recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of experts who advise the federal government on medicine and health policy.

Often, that treatment comes only after people suffer a major breakdown, get arrested or see their lives unravel. People with depression wait an average of seven years between the time when they first develop symptoms and when they finally receive treatment, Lieberman said.

“When it comes to mental illness, we do too little, too late,” said Lieberman, who is not a member of the task force.

The task force looked specifically at studies of major depression — which lasts at least two weeks and significantly impairs a person’s ability to function at work, school or socially — in ado-

lescents ages 12 to 18.

About 8% of teens reported having major depression in the past year, according to the report.

The task force doesn’t recommend screenings if there are no services available, said task force member Alex Kemper, a professor of pediatrics at Duke University Medical School in North Carolina. Screening people but failing to provide treatment is unlikely to do much good.

Treating kids with depression — with counseling, medication or other services — can make a big difference by relieving teens’ symptoms and reducing their risk of suicide, Kemper said.

Apple’s gleaming new iPhones, a rumored iPad and a refreshed Apple TV set-top device are sure to give the company a jolt of momentum as it steams into the holiday shopping season.

Sales for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus alone are expected to pack a financial wallop after they are formally announced at a gala press conference here Wednesday — though nowhere on the scale of the massively popular iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, say analysts such as John Butler SAN FRANCISCO

The current-generation Prius hybrid is about to be replaced with a slicker model, but Toyota has dropped few hints.

Toyota’s next Prius may hit some bumps Lower gas prices, new competition could present challenges Chris Woodyard USA TODAY

K

nown for its humility and practicality, Toyota’s Prius hybrid is about the last model one might expect to have a glitzy debut of its next generation on the Las Vegas Strip.

But to those who follow technologies that have made gas-saving cars possible, the Prius remains a rock star worthy of a Sin City introduction such as the one planned for Tuesday night. Featuring electric batteries working in combination with a small gas engine, Prius is the nation’s top-selling alternative-powered car, garnering a commanding 23% of the market, according to Edmunds.com.

Prius, which has an average EPA rating of 50 miles per gallon in the current version, soldiers on as the nation’s mainstream automotive poster child for fuel economy. Toyota estimates that the Prius model in the USA has collectively saved 2.1 billion gallons of gasoline and 11.7 millon tons of carbon dioxide emissions compared with the average car since it was introduced in 2000.

“The Prius pretty much taught the world what a hybrid was,” says Genevieve Cullen, president of the Electric Drive Transportation Association. “It’s a seminal vehicle and such a beloved car.”

The unveiling comes at a challenging time for the compact in a new age of cheap gas. Among the issues it faces:

2008, Detroit automakers and others were left flatfooted when it came to being able to offer gassaving hybrids. Today, they offer many, including plug-in models that save even more gas. As a result, Edmunds.com says, Prius has seen its share of the alternativepowertrain market fall by almost half. As recently as 2010, it was 51.7%.

uNEW ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY.

Prius, which has a nickel-metal hydrid battery, showed the possibilities for a car that could run on batteries alone, then be recharged by its small gas engine. Tesla Motors, which uses lithium-ion technology, has since paved the way for cars that run on batteries alone for hundreds of miles per charge. Several automakers, including General Motors, plan to field their own long-range electric cars.

Toyota has remained faithful to its belief in the Prius. It created a “family” of Prius vehicles, including a wagon, subcompact and plug-in version, in addition to the original hatchback. Prius has become a favorite of taxi operators, lured by its economy and growing reputation for dependability, even though it has rarely been sold with the kind of deep incentives that attract fleet buyers.

Toyota has dropped a few hints about the next Prius. Jim Lentz, CEO of Toyota North America, promised slicker looks, an important issue to address given the car’s odd styling that contributes to its aerodynamics while alienating some buyers.

Toyota said two years ago that it would shoot for an additional 10% improvement in fuel economy.

Don’t count out the next generation’s potential for luring new buyers, analysts say.

“The 2016 Prius will be a muchneeded shot in the arm for not only Toyota but the entire ‘greencar’ segment,” Edmunds.com analyst Jeremy Acevedo says in a statement.

SAN FRANCISCO WhatsApp has reached 900 million monthly active users, cementing Facebook’s dominance in mobile messaging.

Facebook owns the world’s two most popular apps: WhatsApp, which it bought for billions, and its homegrown app, Facebook Messenger, which recently announced it has 700 million monthly active users.

WhatsApp founder Jan Koum made the announcement on Facebook on Thursday evening.

MARK ZUCKERBERG, FACEBOOK

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg snapped this photo of WhatsApp founder Jan Koum announcing that WhatsApp hit 900M monthly users.

Monthly active users isn’t the best way to measure activity on a messaging app. WhatsApp did not say how many messages are being sent each day, for example. But the growth is impressive. WhatsApp added 100 million users in the past six months. It announced it had crossed 800 million in April. That is no small feat for either app: Smartphone owners spend more time in messaging apps than any other app.

By way of comparison: Twitter has a bit more than 300 million monthly active users. Instagram also has about 300 million.

Still, WhatsApp faces fierce competition from Asian rivals.

And those apps are making money from games and other in-app wares, moneymaking opportunities that Koum has rejected.

In the first half of 2014, WhatsApp made $15 million from subscription fees on a loss of $232.5 million. WhatsApp was charging users $1 a year, with the first year free, before it was bought by Facebook.

Facebook’s chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s second-quarter earnings call that the company is not yet ready to turn on the moneymaking spigot with Messenger or WhatsApp. Zuckerberg has said Facebook has “many clear ways” to make money from a product once it reaches one billion users.

One billion people, one out of seven on the planet, used Facebook on a single day last week.

“This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it’s just the beginning of connecting the whole world,” Zuckerberg wrote.

AIRPORTS FEEL PRESSURE TO SNUFF OUT SMOKING Groups urging them to close special rooms where fliers light up

Question: Can you describe a typical day for a pilot and flight crew?

— Submitted by reader Bob Ciesco, The Villages, Fla. Answer: Pilots, like every other profession, experience very different days throughout a career. Long-haul pilots may make only a single flight in a day while regional pilots may take off and land eight or more times. Helicopter pilots may make more than 20 takeoffs and landings in a day. There really is not a typical day because of the 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year nature of aviation. Some pilots fly overnight, while others work early mornings and still others work the afternoons/evenings.

ravelers can shop, snack, dine and order fancy cocktails in most U.S. airports.

In many airports, manicures, music concerts, kids’ play areas and lottery ticket sales are offered.

And in some major U.S. airports, there are special indoor spaces for smokers to light up.

If non-smokers’ rights advocates and the country’s top public health advocate get their wish, airport smoking rooms will be snuffed out.

In May, a few months after the 25th anniversary of the federal law banning smoking on domestic U.S. flights, Vice Adm. Vivek Murthy, the U.S. surgeon general, posted a photo on Facebook and Twitter giving thumbs down to smoking rooms at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Several anti-smoking groups publicly urge Salt Lake City International Airport, which has five smoking rooms, to make the airport’s new main terminal — scheduled to open in 2020 — entirely tobacco-free.

“In a state that does not allow smoking in other major public places and workplaces, it is time that the Salt Lake City International Airport does what is right to protect the health of all of those who utilize it by eliminating all the indoor smoking rooms,” said Brook Carlisle, Utah government relations director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.

SLC spokeswoman Bianca Shreeve says the plan is to keep the smoking lounges as a benefit to smokers who make connections at the airport. The lounges “not only segregate smokers from non-smokers, they keep smokers with short connections from trying to smoke in areas they are not supposed to,” she said.

Initially paid for by Phillip Morris and built before the 1996 Olympics, the 12 smoking lounges at Atlanta’s airport “are an amenity that many of our passengers still use,” ATL spokesman Andrew Gobeil says. “There are no immediate plans to close them.”

Gobeil says that if HartsfieldJackson were to go smoke-free, airport guests might be exposed to secondhand smoke from smokers who might “surreptitiously light up in airport restrooms.”

A smoke-free policy “would also force smokers outside the terminal and would unduly burden security lines as those passengers re-enter secure zones,”

For pilots, there’s never a typical day

he said.

In addition to SLC and ATL, there are public indoor smoking spaces in several other major U.S. airports, including Washington Dulles International, McCarran International in Las Vegas and Denver International.

Nashville International Airport has two Graycliff smoking lounges accessible to those paying an entrance fee. T.G.I. Friday’s, in the middle of Concourse D at Miami International Airport, has a smoking lounge for patrons, and the Smokin’ Bear Lodge Smoking Lounge located behind

SALT LAKE CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Salt Lake City International Airport currently has five smoking rooms.

if Hartsfield-Jackson were to go smoke-free, airport guests might be exposed to secondhand smoke from smokers who might “surreptitiously light up in airport restrooms.”

the Timberline Restaurant at Denver International Airport is accessible with a $5 minimum purchase from the restaurant.

At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, there is a smoking area inside the Admirals Club in Terminal A, although American Airlines says that smoking policy is “under evaluation.”

Dulles Airport has four smoking lounges and considers them an amenity for the “broad cross

section of passengers we serve, which includes a large number of international travelers and domestic travelers boarding or getting off long transcontinental flights,” airport spokesman Christopher Paolino says.

In Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport allows smoking in select bars and gaming areas.

“When smoking was previously not allowed, we repeatedly dealt with instances in which smokers would improperly light up in inappropriate public-use areas, such as companion care restrooms, or would push open alarmed fire escape doors to go outside to smoke, requiring a law enforcement response,” airport spokeswoman Christine Crews says.

A study by the CDC found that the average air pollution levels from secondhand smoke directly outside designated smoking areas in five large hub U.S. airports — Washington Dulles, Denver, Salt Lake City, Atlanta and Las Vegas — were five times higher than levels in smoke-free airports.

“Given all the science that we have and the fact that so many cities and states are working toward going smoke-free, the fact that airports aren’t going in that direction more quickly is disconcerting,” says Cynthia Hallett, executive director of Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights.

The U.S. surgeon general agrees. “We know secondhand smoke kills,” Vivek Murthy wrote in an email.

“By making our indoor spaces — like airports — smoke-free, we can help prevent 41,000 deaths each year in the U.S.” Harriet Baskas is a Seattle-based airports and aviation writer and USA TODAY Travel’s “At the Airport“ columnist. Follow her at twitter.com/hbaskas.

Pilot Nancy Kaney checks out the weather conditions at New York’s LaGuardia Airport after her flight was canceled on Jan. 26, 2015.

All pilots arrive early, make preflight preparations and inspections, and get a weather briefing. Before departure, performance calculations are done, and navigation computers are loaded.

One of the benefits of the piloting profession is the variety of schedules, destinations and job demands. It is definitely not a routine job.

Q: Our flight was delayed for about 15 minutes because the backup pilot had to be called in from a nearby hotel.

How do airlines normally handle situations like this? Is there a set number of pilots available on standby ready to be called upon?

— Mike, Texas A: All airlines have reserve pilots standing by every day. The response time for a reserve pilot (or flight attendant) varies from airline to airline. If you had only a 15-minute delay, the response was very good. Reserves are needed to accommodate irregularities in the flight operation or if a crewmember becomes ill. Being on reserve is a difficult job, as it is impossible to plan anything because of the possibility of being called to fly on very short notice.

What to do when your lodging is too terrible to stay Online review sites aren’t always trustworthy Christopher Elliott Special for USA TODAY

Susan Farkas couldn’t stay in the New York City apartment she’d rented.

The air conditioning was on the blink during a summer heatwave, and the toilet stopped working.

She tried to resolve the situation with the owner and Airbnb, the company through which she’d booked the studio unit.

“But there was no action,” Farkas says. “The apartment didn’t meet my minimum standards.”

As the number of hotel and lodging choices multiplies, her problem is becoming more common. Farkas, a retiree who lives in Portland, Ore., paid $991 for a week in Manhattan, about half what it would have cost for a hotel. Yet standards are all over the ON TRAVEL

map for accommodations, and a site such as Airbnb can’t enforce quality like a chain hotel.

Maybe it’s time for standards.

Or at least more accurate information about our accommodations.

When it comes to lodging in general, and hotels in particular, there are no true standards in America. For example, a TripAdvisor review may have been written by a real guest or an employee; a AAA diamond rating, particularly at the higher level, is a subjective review. And forget vacation rentals and apartments — there’s no authoritative source for reviews or ratings.

What’s in plentiful supply?

Horror stories from people who checked in, then checked out.

Kathy Williams, who works for a university in Tacoma, Wash., rented an apartment in Gulf Shores, Ala., with her two sisters, paying $920 up front. The online ad showed an immaculate residence on a pristine beach.

“When we arrived, the place was a total dump,” she recalls.

“There were drunk people walk-

ing the balcony, the wooden deck railing was broken, a discarded metal table was next to the Dumpster and the pool was behind a high wooden fence and the size of a hot tub.”

The Williams sisters left early, but the owner pocketed their entire $920.

The disappointments are not limited to vacation rentals. When Jill Ferguson checked into a hotel in Buffalo recently, a representative handed her the key to an unmade room.

“The sheets were all rumpled on the bed, hairs were on and in the toilet and in the sink, and the wastepaper baskets were littered with used tissues,” recalls Ferguson, a writer from Seattle.

Ferguson says there’s a traditional Japanese business practice, that when part of an order is wrong, the whole product is returned.

“And that is how I felt about this hotel,” she says. She checked out.

Farkas, the unhappy apartment renter, left her accommodations after two days and paid Priceline $1,187 to stay at an independent hotel in the Wall Street

BUILD YOUR OWN EARLY-WARNING SYSTEM uDON’T RELY ON ONE SOURCE. Booking a hotel based

can control unflattering reviews by forcing consumers to sign “nondisparagement” agreements when they check in, which prevent them from leaving critical reviews.

Some rental sites require that you have stayed at a property to leave

area for the balance of her visit to New York. Airbnb refunded $655, the value of her unused nights, and after I asked about her case, it offered her a coupon for $168.

Sometimes, customers who leave their accommodations can dispute the charges with the owner or with their credit card issuer, if they’re paying by credit card.

None of that should be necessary.

Shouldn’t we have an early-

a review, which eliminates the ability of guests who check out early to leave an honest appraisal.

Bottom line: The reviews don’t tell the whole picture. uDON’T HOLD BACK. If you check into a hotel or resort that isn’t up to your standards, say something. Remaining silent means others will book the same property, but it also deprives the hotel of a chance to improve. “A true friend criticizes you to help you improve and become a better person,” says Manu Lail, a managing partner at RMG Hospitality, a hospitality management company based in Dallas.

Stephen Colbert is ready to show his true self.

The actor, comedian and — since 1998 — faux bloviator of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report — begins his dream job Tuesday, replacing David Letterman as the host of CBS’s Late Show (11:35 p.m. ET/PT).

“It gives me everything I want,” the 51-year-old says. “I like meeting the guests, I like the grind, I like a live audience, I love to hear the laughter. It’s the only job I could imagine that was a promotion. I was very proud of the show we had done, we’d had some success with it. (But) if I was going to do another live show in front of an audience, taking over for Dave was the only thing that had a laurel wreath on it.”

He even spent time with Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Thea-

ter, where Dave showed him how to use a freight elevator to get from the show’s offices to the stage.

Unlike retired Daily Show host Jon Stewart, who called interviews “filler” around his carefully crafted segments, Colbert enjoys them.

“I was never a stand-up, I’m an improviser, and so for me the joy is: What’s going to happen between the two of us for the next six or eight minutes? That’s the reason to continue to do a talk show for me, is the talk. Jon didn’t like it.”

Colbert plans an eclectic mix of “scientists, newsmakers, politicians, intellectuals, musicians that I love” and the usual assortment of movie and TV stars promoting projects.

George Clooney and Jeb Bush are booked for Tuesday’s extended opener; other guests due this week and next include everyone from Supreme Court Justice Ste-

“I don’t see any need to strap dynamite to the wheel and blow it up and reinvent it.”

phen Breyer, U.N. secretary-genKi-Moon and eral Ban presidential candidate Bernie Sanders to the CEOs of Uber and Tesla to Scarlett Johansson, Jake Gyllenhaal and Lupita Nyong’o.

He’s coy about exactly what you’ll see, but at a rehearsal last week, he opened with a seated monologue, graphic screen behind him, and bantered with bandleader Jon Batiste from a desk on the left side of the stage.

“I don’t see any need to strap dynamite to the wheel and blow it up and reinvent it. It’s an hour, there are six commercial breaks.

There’s a live audience.”

And: “I will tell topical jokes every night about things in the news, and if that’s a monologue then that’s a monologue, but I don’t think you’ll see it quite the same way.” And despite those test shows, he’s not sure exactly how things will roll: “I don’t know how to surf the wave until I’m on the board.”

MUSIC REVIEW First, it’s availARIENNE able exclusively on THOMPSON Tidal, the streaming music service Jay Z invested in, and according to Prince’s camp, plans for a physical release of the album have yet to be announced.

As far as the music goes, there’s no rulebook there, either. The Purple One and his newly knighted in-house producer Joshua Welton jammed and noodled their way through HitNRun, com-

There’s nasty Darling Nikki Prince on HARDROCKLOVER, who over plenty of moaning and screaming demands, “Turn my guitar up so I can make this woman scream.”

There’s romantic Diamonds and Pearls Prince on 1000 X’s & O’s, who tells his hard-working paramour to take a load off when she comes home because “every drop of sweat on your brow is well-earned.” And oh, “I’m gonna give you 1,000 reasons why we need to be alone,” he adds.

on the floor-shaking Ain’t About 2 Stop, boasting to the track’s other vocalist, Rita Ora, “I come from North Minne and I never run from any!”

Fortunately, this reach back into the Prince vault, as it were, comes off as exciting and fresh rather than as a retread of past glory. Aided by Welton’s modern production, HitNRun achieves what he and Prince aimed to do with their extensive experimentation: create an album that allows you to hit play and run it all the way through, uninterrupted.

And, they also had plenty of fun simply jamming, evident on the instrumental Mr. Nelson, a sonic gumbo infused with reggae, funk and house that feels like the nascent score for a Prince biopic.

For fans worried about spending money for Tidal just to hear Prince’s latest, rest assured, HitNRun is well worth it.

COPING WITH CHANGE

Double Take

Dr. Wes Crenshaw and Gabe Magee

Replacing school nurses a bad idea

18, but participants can come on the day of the fair and still register at the door for blood work.

The blood work fee on fair day will be $40 (or $50 with the PSA).

Participants are asked to fast for 10-12 hours in advance of having their blood drawn. Water and necessary medications are permissible. There will be free light refreshments available for health fair attendees after their blood has been drawn.

Blood work is done on the day of the fair from 7 to 10 a.m. only.

Wes: A recent legislative post audit suggests another “innovative” solution for Kansas’ school budget woes: Replace school nurses with health aides.

We’re known for these clever ideas, particularly among comedians and those who associate Kansas with Dorothy and Toto, or perhaps more correctly now, the Wicked Witch, the heartless Tin Man, and the brainless Scarecrow.

This idea did get me thinking, particularly after several districts made a Dickensian march to Topeka, tin cups in hand, begging for “emergency” dollars.

So, I launched my own post audit and came up with this list of positions I’d like to see put on deep discount: l District superintendents. I’m recently home from New York, where they have building superintendents who run apartment complexes.

I propose firing all Kansas school superintendents, hiring building supers, and letting them live in the schools as part of their compensation package. That way we can fire the maintenance staff too because building supers know how to fix toilets and mop floors.

Building superintendents are also experts at rent collection and are able to boost funding by shaking down families for needed cash.

Average savings: $85,000 to $120,000 per district. l Principals. I suggest professional clowns replace all building principals. Animal rights activists are killing the circus industry, leaving a lot of these folks out of work. That means we can take advantage of a low price point per position.

THE SKILLBUILDERS PROGRAM SERIES, WHICH IS SPONSORED BY THE LAWRENCE PUBLIC LIBRARY, STARTED OUT AS A GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP, but has transformed into a resource for seniors going through all sorts of lifestyle changes. The sessions cover a broad range of practical topics, including financial planning, exercise and car care.

ife has a way of throwing curveballs.

Changes in life can be especially difficult for seniors, who may be adjusting to an entirely new way of navigating life alone after many years with someone by their side.

The Skillbuilders program series aims to ease that transition.

The series is for anyone who has lost a loved one, is transitioning to being single or is adjusting to illness or other lifestyle changes. There are 10 sessions, one each week starting on Sept. 17, that cover everything from car care to financial planning.

“Even though you think you know something, you really don’t. You learn something from every class.”

— Aleta Hirschberg, Skillbuilders attendee

During that time of change, “the whole world kind of takes a spin, and you aren’t sure where your feet are,” said Pattie Johnston, outreach coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library.

Anyone interested in attending a ses-

sion can attend all of the programs or only those topics that are of interest. No registration is required, and all programs are free.

Transportation is available by calling the Douglas County Senior Services at 865-6925.

Skillbuilders meets from 10 to 11:30 a.m. each Thursday from Sept. 17 through Nov. 19 at the Smith Center at Brandon Woods at Alvamar, 4730 Brandon Woods Terrace.

Johnston said the sessions typically have 10 to 12 attendees, but “cooking brings in more, because they get to eat,” she joked.

Get screenings, information at LMH health fair

By Aynsley Anderson Lawrence Memorial Hospital

The Lawrence Memorial Hospital annual health fair, a community tradition that attracts more than 1,000 people a year, is set for Sept. 26.

What is a health fair all about? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (cdc.gov), a health fair is an event where organizations have an opportunity to share health information with the public and to provide health screenings.

For more than 30 years, LMH has been offering a health fair to the

community.

With the nation’s overweight and obesity rate hovering at over 65 percent, coupled with an increase in the occurrence of many chronic diseases and conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke and several cancers, health and wellness fairs are a great way for community members to learn more about taking care of their health.

LMH’s health fair will include several health screenings; exhibits and information about prevention, diagnosis and treatment of health is-

sues, as well as information about staying well; and an opportunity to visit with LMH associates, some of our LMH Medical and Allied Health staff members, other area health care providers and representatives from community partner nonprofit health and wellness agencies.

Low-cost blood work for adults is available through the LMH Laboratory and includes a

complete lipid profile with additional select blood chemistry components. This is available for $30, if participants enroll by the advance registration deadline of Sept. 18.

For males who wish to include the prostate-specific antigen blood test (PSA), the discount registration fee is $40.

To register in advance for the blood work, watch for registration forms in area newspapers or call the LMH Lab at 505-2653 and ask for a health fair specialist.

Please note that no advance registrations will be processed after Sept.

Kids and medicines: 5 things to know Associated Press

New research suggests parents are doing a better job of keeping household medicines out of the hands of young children.

Emergency room visits by children who swallowed medicine while unsupervised have declined substantially, reversing an earlier trend, the study found. By contrast, ER visits for bad reactions from medicines meant for kids and given by parents increased during the same time.

Here are five things to know about the study, published Monday in Pediatrics:

gency room visits for bad drug reactions in kids aged 6 or younger. During those 10 years, there were about 640,000 ER visits involving young children who’d swallowed medicine they’d found around the house, and fewer visits — about 623,000 — involving medicine intended for children and given by parents or other caregivers.

The trends ER visits for unsupervised medicine use increased from 54,140 in 2004 to almost 76,000 in 2010, but then fell each following year, to about 60,000 visits in 2013. Visits for parent-given medicine exposure climbed The basics steadily throughout those Researchers from the years, from almost 47,000 federal Centers for Dis- to 70,400. ease Control and Prevention analyzed nationally The medicines In the unsupervised representative data for 2004 through 2013 from a group, the most comgovernment surveillance mon prescription drugs system involving emer- involved were opioids

LMH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Free health screenings at the health fair may include hearing, skin cancer, vision, fingerstick blood glucose (fasting is required), lung function, heel bone density, blood pressure, height and weight, body mass index, stroke risk assessment, and vein screening.

Health screenings are provided by LMH staff and community partner health care provid-

including the anti-addiction drug buprenorphine and painkillers, along with sedatives and anti-anxiety medicines.

Over-the-counter vitamins, alternative medicines and acetaminophen painkillers in pills or syrups were also commonly used.

In the supervised group, antibiotics were most commonly involved. There were no intentional poisonings.

Bad reactions The study did not list what symptoms the children had, but the implicated drugs can cause such reactions as drowsiness, breathing problems, vomiting, choking and allergic reactions including severe skin rashes.

Nearly 20 percent of ER visits for unsupervised medicine exposures resulted in hospitalization, versus 6 percent of visits involving parent-given medicine. Information on

specific outcomes or any deaths was not included.

Recommendations Lead study author Maribeth Lovegrove, a CDC researcher, said possible reasons for the increases include rising rates of medicine use, use of antibiotics for colds and other viruses, for which the drugs are ineffective, and parents taking children to the ER rather than a doctor’s office.

Improvements in child-resistant packaging likely contributed to the decline in visits for unsupervised medicine use, but better efforts are needed, the researchers said. They noted that some newer packaging doesn’t rely on parents to remember to replace child-resistant caps.

Lovegrove said parents should remember to relock safety caps on medicine bottles and return all medicines to a safe location after every use.

guides for those tests just like they do instruction manuals for other products.

Average savings: $18.9 million per district per year. l Students. If we implement the above cost-cutting measures, we can replace most students with cardboard cutouts.

I saw these life-sized images in Washington, D.C., recently of people like President Obama and Sarah Palin. You can pose tourists next to them, the picture you take looks real and it turns out to be a lot cheaper than paying the actual famous people to let you pose next to them. That same approach could cut per-pupil cost in Kansas from around $3,200 per year, to a single payment of $49.95 per student, if we buy in bulk.

From China.

Gabe: Before enacting Wes’ plan, remember that school nurses are more important than people may think.

The common image is one of a professional whose only job is to

administer Band-Aids and check for fevers. But a nurse’s job can range from developing individualized medical emergency plans for students to administering daily prescriptions. Nurses are licensed by the state to do these things.

On the other hand, health care aides only carry a few certifications, such as CNAs or CMAs. There are a lot of jobs that cannot be done by a health care aide without a nurse’s supervision. They can give oral prescriptions and insulin shots, but only under a nurse’s supervision, as well as help with clerical work.

But only nurses can administer intravenous prescription medicine, advise teachers or create emergency plans for students with special medical needs.

The only schools that could get by without nurses are schools where no students have medical problems. Sadly, there are none of these.

Some of the auditors suggest splitting registered nurses between

schools. This doesn’t really solve the problem.

Even if they have health aides at every school to help out, those nurses are stretched too thin over too many students.

In addition, the students are put at a greater risk by not having a licensed professional on campus full time. If an emergency happens, the response time will be unnecessarily prolonged.

School districts that want to cut nurses from their payroll may be enticed by the difference in pay between RNs and health aides, but they are blind to the extra price that a lower tier of care will pose to children who need and deserve more.

ers, many of whom are volunteering their time.

Therefore, screening availability on the day of the event may be subject to change from that noted here. Health screenings will be open from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Lines can be lengthy and screenings will close on time, so plan to come early. Entry is through the hospital’s Arkansas Street entrance.

Other events at the LMH health fair this year include flu shots for those age 18 and older, provided by the Visiting Nurses. Cost is $30 (cash

or check), or bring your Medicare card. No other insurance plans can be billed.

New this year is the Car Fit screening event for senior adults. Car Fit is a free program that assesses and then instructs older adults how to make any adjustments in their vehicles to enhance safety while driving and so their vehicles are the best “fit” for them. Appointments are required for this screening and are limited. Please go online to lmh.org/car-fit to make your appointment or call

LMH Connect Care at 505-5800. Car Fit screenings are available from 9 to 11:30 a.m.

Just Food will be hosting a food drive at the LMH Health Fair. Plan to bring nonperishable food items to donate.

The program started in the Kansas City area through a grief support network, Johnston said, but it is not intended as a support group as it is currently structured.

However, she admits that one of the biggest strengths of the Skillbuilders is the experiences and solutions to questions that the attendees share, which is supportive in its own way.

“Some talk freely and others are more quiet, but a camaraderie develops as the series continues,” she said.

Aleta Hirschberg, of Lawrence, started going even before her husband’s death three years ago.

“I read the schedule and some of the things really piqued my interest,” Hirschberg said.

“Even though you think you know something, you really don’t. You learn something from every class.”

Hirschberg said she appreciated the openness and interactivity of the classes, which encourage inquiry and sharing.

“You’re allowed to ask questions, and that’s a good thing, because we are all different in needs,” she said.

Eda Thomason, of Lawrence, has attended several sessions and especially liked the programs about taking care of her car and home.

“You find out about things that help the elderly,” Thomason said. “It gets you more acquainted with Parks and Rec and what they’re doing with the older generation and

Johnston reiterated that while the programs are at Brandon Woods, they are not specifically for seniors. While the session time is chosen knowing it is appealing to seniors with more flexible schedules, anyone going through changes in life is welcome to attend.

“Those who have had a loss of any kind find a sense of support when they are with others who are also making transitions,” she said. “It is a very safe group.”

“It gets you more acquainted with Parks and Rec and what they’re doing with the older generation and the senior center. That really helps.”

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of three girls and have always been the black sheep of the family. I have two sisters who don’t have kids, yet they constantly tell me I’m not a good mother or daughter.

I have always tried to be a good daughter, especially after Dad passed away. My sisters don’t do much for our mom. One lives out of state, so I guess she thinks she doesn’t have to do anything.

The other sister calls Mom often, but doesn’t bother to stop by and see her.

Mom is on a limited income. We all work full time and have husbands, but I’m the only one who buys her groceries and takes her places. I recently told my mother how I was feeling about my sis-

ters, and she told me they will never change.

And why should they?

Mom refuses to ask for any help from the other two. She never asks me to take her shopping, but I know she needs food in her house.

I also enjoy spending time with my mom.

She’s an awesome woman who worked hard and provided for her children.

I had once before disappeared from

Colbert takes over ‘Late Show’ With much fanfare, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” (10:30 p.m., CBS) debuts.

These talk show transitions are rare enough to remain interesting.

They don’t always go smoothly.

In fact, these installations take on an almost mythic quality. Colbert replaces David Letterman, who once tangled with Jay Leno, who blessed and then usurped his anointed heir, Conan O’Brien, who then withdrew to the land of cable after much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Only after being bloodied by this struggle did Leno acknowledge his weariness and give way to the relative youth of Jimmy Fallon — known as Fallon the bland or Fallon the merry, depending on one’s taste.

As the late night legends continue, CBS has to wonder if Colbert will fit in seamlessly or merely find a niche audience as O’Brien did during his short “Tonight Show” tenure.

The mystery is compounded by the fact that Colbert’s reputation is based on his performance as the “fake” host of “The Colbert Report.”

Who is the “real” Stephen Colbert? Will he be funny? And what kind of “funny” works in late night these days?

Part of Fallon’s success is due to his genial personality and his need to be an entertainer. He’s nice, not edgy. ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel has also carved out an audience by identifying with an every-guy audience. Fallon, Kimmel and CBS’ James Corden have expanded the scope of their audience by creating bitesize bits suitable for YouTube.

BBC America’s Graham Norton has also gained wider popularity in this manner.

These bits obviously require the cooperation of celebrity guests, creating a rather friendly atmosphere on the couch. Has it become too friendly to be interesting?

Part of Letterman’s grouchy charm was to keep some personalities at arm’s length. That’s hard to do when you need them as YouTube co-producers.

On “The Report,” Colbert rarely failed to spoof or create some ironic distance from his guests. But that was easier when everybody knew he was playing the fool.

Tonight’s other highlights

Eleven acts enter the second part of semifinals on “America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC).

Critters overrun a hospital on a two-hour helping of “Zoo” (8 p.m., CBS).

PBS repeats part two of Ken Burns’ 1990 documentary “The Civil War” (8 p.m., check local listings).

The new biography series “The BET Life of” (8 p.m.) profiles Chris Brown.

A family wake hosts private deals on “Public Morals” (9 p.m., TNT).

Mom’s life because I was tired of putting up with this nonsense. I didn’t speak to anyone for a year. But I realized my mother won’t be here forever, and we’ve been attached at the hip ever since.

Now I’m tired of the nonsense again. What am I supposed to do?

My sisters are perfectly aware of Mom’s needs. I believe they are selfish. What’s it going to take for them to wake up?

I can’t talk to either one of them because it just upsets me. But I can’t go back and keep taking care of Mom all by myself. It gets expensive to do this every week with no help whatsoever. — The Black Sheep Dear Sheep: You sound like a caring daughter, but you cannot force your sisters

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 8: This year you often waver between being a social butterfly and being a recluse. Both work for you. You are seeking a balance. If you are single, you can expect to be surrounded by admirers. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy your friends enormously.

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) Use your resourcefulness with a child or loved one who seems to be driving a hard bargain. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Consider the past few days before you start any project.

Stay close to home, if possible.

Tonight: Make it easy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on, yet you might need to handle a personal matter first.

Tonight: Let the party begin.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You see a personal matter differently from how many other people see it. Open up to a new possibility. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes you would be best off retreating and not putting on your sunny face. Everyone needs some time off — even you.

Tonight: Take a nap, then decide.

to be the same. If you were an only child, would you continue helping Mom? It might be less frustrating for you to think of yourself that way.

However, you may be able to get your sisters to contribute financially if it lets them off the hook otherwise. Calmly explain that Mom’s income limits what she can buy at the grocery, and though you are happy to take her shopping and supplement her supplies, it is becoming too difficult.

Ask how much they can contribute for these expenses.

We hope they come through.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Taking a hit helped Cozart

Underdogs

Make quick reads and if nothing presents itself, tuck it and run. A simpler offense, the thinking on the part of the new Kansas University football staff went, would result in Montell Cozart using his speed more often.

One game into the season, a 41-38 loss to South Dakota State, that’s pretty much how it played out.

The second question I had of a coach during the offseason: But does he have the courage to run anywhere but out of bounds?

“Sometimes,” the answer came, “all it takes is taking a real good hit early to get that out of your system.”

I must confess I didn’t Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo fully understand that one, KANSAS UNIVERSITY HEAD COACH DAVID BEATY SCREAMS AT HIS PLAYERS during the third quarter of the Jayhawks 41-38 loss to South at least until watching Dakota State at Memorial Stadium. On Monday, Beaty acknowledged KU deserved to be underdogs in every remaining game this season.

“Took a deep breather after that and said, ‘Here we go, it’s time to play ball,’ ” Cozart said.

Royals drop fourth straight Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Tommy Milone pitched so poorly in April that the Minnesota Twins sent him to the minors in May. Milone is pitching confidently in September, helping keep the Twins in the playoff hunt.

Milone pitched seven effective innings and Eduardo Escobar reached base four times and drove in three runs as the Twins beat the struggling Kansas City Royals 6-2 on Monday night.

“You like the fact he’s an experienced guy,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said. “He trusts in what he does. He hasn’t been that way the whole year. We talked about it earlier in the year of getting back to being more aggressive. I think he’s tried to keep that philosophy.”

Milone (8-4) held the Royals to six hits and two runs, while striking out four and walking one. He is 2-0, allowing two runs and nine hits in two September starts.

“A lot of it is pitching games in September that are meaningful ones,” Milone said. “It kind of motivates me to go out there and pitch well. It’s a lot more fun.”

The Twins are 11⁄2 games behind Texas for the AL’s second wild card.

The Royals have been outscored 31-9 in dropping four straight, matching their longest losing streak of the season.

“We haven’t played up to our standard,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “I think our starting pitching hasn’t been exceptionally sharp through this run, and offensively, we’ve faced some tough pitching.

“Milone tonight did a great job. He was consistently strike one on everybody, he was com-

Naismith to be honored: A commemorative sculpture of Dr. James

Naismith, the inventor of the game and KU’s first coach, will be unveiled at 2 p.m., Friday, at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts. It is part of the Hall’s new Naismith Coaches Circle.

The sculpture, created

by Brian Hanlon, honors Naismith. In a prominent courtyard located at the north entrance of the museum, the sculpture, according to the Hall, “pays tribute to the core values Dr. Naismith instilled in his players – teamwork, determination, self-respect, leadership, initiative and perseverance.

He believed these principles to be the foundation by which young men and women should play the game and conduct their

lives.”

The Coaches Circle will allow Hall of Famers to “share the incredible stories of mentor-coach relationships, the compassion coaches have for their players and narratives of coaches impacting their communities, players and peers in a positive manner.”

KU coach Bill Self has supported the Coaches Circle as well as Roy Williams, Steve Alford, Billy Donovan, Mark Few, Paul Hewitt, Bob Huggins, Tom Izzo, Lon Kruger, Dan Majerle, Sean Miller, Bo Ryan and Jay Wright.

BAKER’S AMER DIDIC was the Heart of America Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week.

Baker to a perfect 5-0 record on the year with two victories at Goshen and against Holy Cross over the weekend.

He scored two goals in the win at Holy Cross on Saturday evening to help Baker to a 3-2 overtime win.

The Edmonton, Alberta, native has been the anchor of a stout defense that has four shutout victories in 2015.

Baker’s Pauley earns HAAC honor Baldwin City — For the second-straight week, a Baker University defensive player has been named the Heart of America Athletic Conference’s Football Defensive Player of the Week.

This week it is senior linebacker Tucker Pauley.

Pauley was pivotal in the Wildcats 58-0 shutout win at Culver-Stockton on Saturday, as the Grain Valley, Missouri, product picked off two passes and had six tackles.

He also had a tackle for loss, and the defense gave head coach Mike Grossner his largest margin of victory in his 12 years as Baker head coach.

Last week safety Hayden Jenkins took home the Heart Defensive Player of the Week.

Beaty, who talked all offseason about no spots on the depth chart being secure from day to day, on Monday hinted about depth chart tweaks to come.

“We have much higher standards in store for our guys than what we put out there on the field the other day,” he said.

“This was the first time for us to evaluate them out there so there’ll be some things that change for us this week based on how those guys handled that.”
