A top court ruled Friday that a French town’s burkini ban violated basic freedoms. Two women at KC’s Al-Inshirah Islamic Center praised the ruling.

Muslim women in KC praise France court’s striking down burkini ban
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
A French court overturned a ban of burkinis yesterday in the French resort town of Villeneuve-Loubet.
The court deemed the ban an “illegal infringement on basic freedoms such as freedom to come and go, freedom of conscience and personal freedom.”
Two local Muslim women praised the ruling.
“It (France) is a free country,” said Gwen Ahmed, a treasurer at Kansas City’s Al-Inshirah’s Islamic Center.
Another member of the mosque, Aisha Sharif, called the initial burkini ban hypocritical that targeted religious coverings worn by Muslim women.
“What if someone finds the idea of women wearing thongs on a beach offensive to their faith?” Sharif said.
Though the court ruled solely on Villeneuve-Loubet’s ban of burkinis, the ruling makes illegal similar bans in some 30 other French towns that have issued similar regulations on the garment.
Villeneuve-Loubet’s mayor, Lionnel Luca, denounced the court’s ruling.
“We need to decide if we want a smiley, friendly version of Sharia law on our beaches or if we want the rules of the (French) Republic to be implemented,” Luca said, according to BBC News.
Sharif said the repeal of the ban is a step in the right direction, but potential future regulations that are similar may target the Muslim faith while ignoring others.
“The burkini ban is kind of giving mainstream Christians and Jews a pass to practice their faith without having any penalty, since there’s nothing overt on their bodies to identify their faith,” Sharif said. “It (the burkini ban) is essentially targeting the display of faith when it doesn’t look like or fit in the mainstream way of dress.”
What is a burkini?
A burkini is a full-body swimsuit that covers most of a woman’s body except her face, hands and feet.
The term conflates burqa and bikini, though a burkini is distinct from a burqa in that burkinis do not cover a woman’s face.
The burkini was invented in Australia to give Australian Muslim women the opportunity to participate more fully in Australian cultural activities.
Legislating religious attire
Marine Le Pen, a leader of the far-right National Front party in France, said the battle to quash burkinis from French beaches is not over.
In a statement, Le Pen called the court’s ruling regrettable and pushed lawmakers to extend a 2004 ban “as quickly as possible” of Muslim headscarves and other religious symbols from classrooms.
“The burkini would obviously be part of it,” said Le Pen, who is a candidate in the 2017 French presidential race.
But Ahmed advocated for women’s freedom to choose what to wear.
At the Al-Inshirah Islamic Center, for example, women are not required to wear headscarves outside the mosque, Ahmed said.
“But there are some people you will not see without a scarf,” Ahmed said. “That’s them, and I choose to maybe not wear it all the time. That’s my choice.”
Ahmed added different Muslim women wear headscarves and other religious clothing for varying reasons, but regardless of attire, acceptance of others’ faith is crucial.
“We need to be able to accept everyone’s religion,” Ahmed said.

Siblings related to George Washington would have had a claim to the American throne if a monarchy been established. Instead, they lived quiet life of poverty in Garden City.

‘American royalty’ lived in Garden City
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
Would-be heirs to an American kingdom that never materialized lived and died largely in obscurity in Garden City.
Marian and Thornton Washington were born in the mid-19th century. They were the great-great grandchildren of Samuel Washington, George Washington’s oldest brother.
Among Garden Citians, the story goes that if a monarchy rather than a democracy had been established here, Marian and Thornton would have been a prince and princess and could have become king and queen of America.
Instead, Tony and Miss Minnie, as they’re remembered by locals, lived a quiet, even poor life in Garden City in the early 20th century.
“We just thought she was a saint, even though she was very poor,” said Eleen McCulloh, 89. McCulloh was born in 1926, nine years before Tony died and 22 years before Minnie died.
McCulloh grew up on the same street as Minnie and Tony’s hut, where the siblings, who were both unmarried, lived together.
“Everything was very meager. The back room in that little hut was a dirt floor,” McCulloh said. “(Minnie) was just as happy as if she had a million. She never seemed to think about what she didn’t have and what someone else did have.”
McCulloh, who will be 90 in September, remembers Minnie as one might remember a neighbor who happened to be a celebrity. Minnie Washington was a close friend of McCulloh’s mother, and McCulloh remembers the great-great niece of George Washington “trotting” to and from her house on many occasions.
She also remembers the would-be princess as an avid reader, seldom church-goer and largely apolitical woman.
“I never heard her mention anything about politics,” McCulloh said. “Possibly they didn’t dwell on that. They dwelled on existing.”
Though Tony Washington served as postmaster at a neighboring town then known as Index, and Minnie Washington also worked for the post office, the siblings were impoverished, McCulloh said.
The Wilhite brothers, owners of a local grocery store, supplied the Washingtons with groceries free of charge, even delivering it to them to their hut. And according to a Garden City history book, Garden Citians donated the plot of land and the hut where the Washingtons lived, on what is now Spruce Street.
“She didn’t dress up and fix up,” McCulloh recalled. “I think she kind of felt self-conscious that she just didn’t fit in, but everybody in town knew her.”
One possible explanation for Tony and Minnie Washington’s indigence could be traced all the way back to George Washington’s brother, Tony and Minnie’s great-great grandfather Samuel Washington.
According to “The True George Washington,” a biography by Paul Leicester Ford, the nation’s first president once wrote a letter in which he criticized Samuel for his financial insolvency.
“In God’s name how did my brother Samuel get himself so enormously in debt?” George Washington wrote.
Washingtons live on in Garden City
Randy Jones, the city clerk and a history enthusiast, has family members with ties to the Washingtons. His mother, Sharon Yoder, vaguely remembers passing the Washingtons’ house and seeing Minnie at work in her garden or reading a book on the porch.
Yoder and McCulloh remember Minnie for her skilled hand with scissors. Minnie could cut out images such as animals and people from a blank sheet of paper without using tracing lines. The hobby was her favorite, the residents said.
When Jones’s relative, Lila Welch, gave birth to a stillborn baby, Minnie Washington made an entire booklet of the cutouts as a tribute to the lost child.
She wrote on the first page: “In loving memory of our darling baby Veneta Lucille Welch, born died Jan. 23, 1930. A tiny bud on Earth to bloom in heaven.”
Jones and his second cousin Peggy James have retained the booklet, as well as newspaper clippings and more of Minnie’s cutouts, some of which are preserved within frames.
Jones has become the de facto preserver of historical relics in his family. He said even though he’s now dedicated to recording his relatives’ memories, he wishes he’d started earlier, when some of his relatives were still alive.
“I think a lot of people wish they had paid more attention, listened to more stories,” Jones said. “But then it’s too late. When those people pass away, you wish, ‘Why didn’t I ask them something?’ or ‘Why didn’t we write it down?’”
Though McCulloh could not recall Minnie ever talking about politics, it is clear from news clippings that Minnie’s brother followed the developments in the nation’s capital closely.
In an article by “The Star’s own service,” Tony Washington is quoted as saying the Great Depression was a result of “selfishness and greed, and no amount of legislation will end it.”
He also said, “General Washington fought for freedom to establish a government of the people. We have, instead, a government of the politicians, by the politicians and for the politicians. I believe that if General Washington would rise up now and see conditions, he would be greatly surprised.”
A stone monument to the would-be royal family was erected in Garden City in 1976, the bicentennial of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
The monument recognizes Minnie and Tony Washington, as well as their immediate family members, who were buried in Index. A plaque states: “This family might have been the royal family had the U.S. become a kingdom.”
The monument is located on U.S. Post Office property adjacent to city hall on Third Street.
After serving as Maj. Gen. George Washington in the colonial forces and leading the country through the Revolutionary War and to its freedom, George Washington seemed content to live out the remainder of his life much as Tony and Minnie Washington would a century and a half later: in relative obscurity.
But the young country was not unified. The states “fought among themselves over boundaries and navigation rights and refused to contribute to paying off the nation’s war debt,” according to an online biography of George Washington.
So George Washington left his home for a Constitutional Convention, “convinced of the need for a strong national government,” according to the Center for Civic Education.
Two years later, he was unanimously elected to serve as president, the only person ever to earn universal support from the electorate.
George Washington reluctantly served two terms as president. Before his inauguration, he wrote a letter in which he likened the burdens of public service to “those of a culprit who is going to the place of his execution: so unwilling am I, in the evening of a life nearly consumed in public cares, to quit a peaceful abode for an Ocean of difficulties, without that competency of political skill — abilities & inclination which is necessary to manage the helm.”
Two years after serving as the nation’s first president, George Washington died on his estate in Mount Vernon, Va.

Belton’s Ed Stevens, a decades-long Missouri Powerball player, wins third-tier prize for $50,000.

(Roughly) $50,000 richer after decades of lotto play
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
The next estimated jackpot is currently listed at $142 million, according to the Missouri Lottery.
The likelihood of winning $50,000 is one in 913,129. The likelihood of winning the jackpot (correctly naming five white balls and the Powerball) is one in about 292 million.
Lottery participants have won more than $12.1 billion in prizes since its inception.
With 95 cents of every dollar spent on the Missouri Lottery being returned to the public, the lottery is the sixth-largest source of state revenue. It has generated more than $5.4 billion for state and public education and contributes 4 percent to the state’s public education funding.
The prize was worth years of picking wrong numbers for Belton’s Ed Stevens.
The seasoned Powerball player, who has played the lottery since its inception in Missouri in the early ‘80s, learned he won $50,000 earlier this month. He matched four numbers plus the Powerball number. The prize is the third-highest payout for the Powerball game.
Stevens purchased his ticket from Belton’s Price Chopper, and he said he won with borrowed numbers from a friend — numbers he has used consistently for the last about eight years.
He borrowed the numbers after he watched his friend, who lives in Lenexa, employ them to great success at casinos’ roulette tables.
“This money is going to pay the monthly bills,” Stevens said.
After taxes were deducted, Stevens deposited $35,502 into his bank account. His wife, Margaret Stevens, quipped that with the win, her husband has simply recouped the money he’s spent on tickets through the decades.
Ed Stevens said it felt like the right time to win, after years of paying to play.
“I figure you have to get older ‘til you can win,” he said.
In terms of pot size, Ed Stevens won at the right time, as a payout increase was adopted in October 2015, which increased the third-tier prize from $10,000 to its current $50,000. Since that time, 63 people including Stevens have won the prize.
The couple did nothing particularly special to celebrate the win, but they will enjoy already planned vacations — two to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and one to Aruba — in the coming months.
During a previous visit, a bartender at a Cabo restaurant invited the Stevenses and their friends to his home for an authentic Mexican meal.
During the upcoming trip, Ed Stevens said this time he plans to treat the bartender to a meal.

After flooding in Louisiana displaced thousands, a Harrisonville resident familiar with hardship plans to lend a hand.

Relief from afar: Cass woman will help Louisiana flood victims
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
At 3 a.m. Saturday morning, when most of Harrisonville will be asleep, one resident will set out in a borrowed Penske van for Louisiana.
Juanita Morgan will be bearing supplies for the displaced and downtrodden in the state, where flooding has damaged or destroyed 60,000 homes and where more than 100,000 people have registered for federal assistance so far.
Morgan drove truckloads of jeans to relief workers in Joplin after the 2011 tornado, and she sees a parallel to the flooding disaster sweeping Louisiana’s streets and homes.
“What we did for Joplin can be done for them,” Morgan said of the flood victims. “(Baton Rouge) may be 750 miles away, but it’s like it’s across town. You help people; that’s all you do.”
Morgan has made it her mission to deliver as many supplies as possible for the recovery. A call to Church and Dwight Co. yielded a large donation of cleaning supplies, she said.
But the company couldn’t transport the supplies to Louisiana, Morgan said, so she called another local business, this time R.L. Hannah & Sons Trucking. The trucking company offered a semi truck, and Harrisonville’s Bela Flor Nurseries will provide the trailer to transport the cleaning products 750 miles south to flood victims.
Morgan has also collected about 20 bags of clothing from the Harrisonville Ministerial Alliance Thrift Shop, cleaning supplies from the Family Center Farm and Home, and canned goods and children’s items from Angie’s Hot Tan Café.
She’s procured $400 in monetary donations for her trip, which she estimates will pay for the gas needed to get her borrowed Penske van full of supplies to Louisiana.
Her motivations for helping are simple: “Love thy neighbor,” she said. “By the grace of God, it isn’t us, but one day we might be them.”
In fact, one day Morgan did experience what many are dealing with as a result of the flooding. From about 2006 to 2008, she and her husband, Jim Morgan, were homeless.
When she moved to Harrisonville, she lived out of a truck, stood in line at the Ministerial Alliance Thrift Shop for bread, and when she didn’t have a car, she walked around town with resume in hand in search of work.
“It’s one thing to be down and one thing to stay down,” Morgan said, “but if you can help them up a little bit, you begin to feel it’s not hopeless.”
She and her husband have since secured jobs and bought a house near the Harrisonville Middle School, allowing them the stability to return the help they once received.
This weekend, Morgan plans to attend church at a Jimmy Swaggart Ministries worship center in Baton Rouge. Her membership in the church is a large reason why she’s decided to make the trip. Because of her membership, she knows many people in Baton Rouge and is tracking their plight on Facebook.
“Facebook posts of the damage that happened; that’s what drove me,” Morgan said.
When not worshiping, she’ll hand out supplies to families in need this weekend before driving back to Harrisonville Monday. She worked an extra shift this week in order to take Monday off, allowing her to dedicate her entire weekend to providing relief.
Among her delivery stockpile will also be six quilts made from jeans that have been cut into long strips and sewn together. Her husband, Jim Morgan, makes the quilts and other items out of denim.
On donating the six quilts to flood victims in Louisiana, the last few he has left after making other donations over the years, Jim Morgan said simply, “It’s the right thing to do.”
For more information on helping the flood victims in Louisiana, call Juanita Morgan at 816-738-1986. Morgan said additional monetary donations will be used to purchase Bibles for those who have lost theirs in the flooding. She added non-perishable food is a much-needed item.

Belton Foundation donates $100 to new teachers

On Aug. 8, the Belton Educational Foundation surprised 49 new teachers at the Belton School District with a gift of $100.

New patients being accepted by Cass County Dental Clinic
The Cass Community Health Foundation is accepting new patients at the Cass County Dental Clinic to help families get back into the routine of regular visits to the dentist.
Amanda Hetrick, Harrisonville resident and mother of three, made an appointment for her two school-aged children late this summer.
“There are not many dentists who accept Medicaid, so we came to the Cass County Dental Clinic. We aren’t going anywhere now,” Hetrick said. “They are friendly and very nice to my kids. It’s a convenient experience. If I don’t call to make an appointment, they call us. They really care.”
Cass County Dental Clinic provides services to children and adolescents from birth through age 20 who are insured by Missouri Medicaid or are low-income uninsured. These services include X-rays, exams, fillings, extractions, crowns, root canals, cleanings, sealants and fluoride varnish. The Cass County Dental Clinic treated more than 2,700 children in 2015.
Many families aren’t aware of the importance of dental visits while preparing to send their children back to school. Oral disease and pain can negatively affect children’s school performance.
According to the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center, untreated pain and infection caused by tooth decay can result in problems with eating, speaking and learning.
“Improved oral health leads to overall health,” said Cynthia Randazzo, Cass Community Health Foundation president. “Neglecting your children’s oral pain can affect their ability to learn. Proper dental care can help parents ensure their children are succeeding academically.”
Children too young to attend school also have the opportunity to received proper dental care this fall. Cass Community Health Foundation and the Cass County Dental Clinic will host Smiles from the Start, a program to improve the oral health of infant and toddlers in the Cass County area.
The program will be held 9 to 11:30 a.m. Aug. 17 and Aug. 31 at Raymore Christian Church. Participants will learn how to care for baby teeth, when to visit the dentist, tips for weaning and more. It is a free program for expecting parents and those with children less than 3 years of age. Call 816-276-4812 or email katie@theresearchfoundationkc.org to register.

Ray-Pec overcomes inexperience and injuries to reach Gold Bracket in Greater Kansas City Softball Tournament.

Young Panthers get off to good start
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
Raymore-Peculiar is picking up where it left off last softball season, and that’s not necessarily a good thing.
Illness and injuries hampered the Panthers last season as their young lineup struggled to an 11-16 record. This year the Panthers are younger, and they’re already dealing with the same problems as they begin this season.
“We can’t shake the injury bug and we’ve got some kids getting a late start,” Ray-Pec coach James Brown said. “So we’re working through it.”
Even with some players missing from an already green lineup, Ray-Pec still managed to get off to a good start at the season-opening Greater Kansas City Softball Tournament. After winning their pool Saturday, the Panthers played for fifth place after losing to Lee’s Summit West 6-1 and beating Oak Grove 7-4 on Monday at Adair Park in Independence.
Making the 24-team tournament’s top bracket is an encouraging sign for Brown as he tries to piece together a lineup with a host of freshmen and sophomores and only two seniors. It helps that one of those seniors is Callie Martin, a second-team all-district and all-metro player last season who has committed to Missouri. Darby Lewis, the other senior, should be a key contributor, too, but she is currently battling mononucleosis.
“We’re battling the bug a little bit but it’s a good opportunity early in the year for some of these young kids to play, too,” Brown said. “So it’s not always a bad thing.”
Ray-Pec sophomore shortstop Payton Maier is one of those young kids that Brown said is really starting to contribute. There could be as many as four freshmen in the lineup, too, including Aubrey Brown, who has also been out of action early, and pitcher Camryn Stickel, who held Lee’s Summit West to one run before the Titans collected four runs in the fifth inning.
Ray-Pec’s youngsters also helped the Panthers win both their pool play games and reach the tourney’s top bracket. They opened the tournament with a 6-4 victory over longtime rival Belton, a victory that had Brown feeling more optimistic about his team’s start and its future.
“I think when it gets down the road we’re going to be clicking pretty good,” Brown said. “I think we’re in a pretty good spot right now. I like where we’re at.”
That loss to Ray-Pec put Belton in the Silver Bracket with the other second-place finishers in pool play. It’s not a place the Pirates have been accustomed to lately. And while the Pirates lost six seniors from last year’s 21-7 district champions, second-year coach Jeff Hulse believes the Pirates still have more than enough talent to be a contender again this year.
“The well wasn’t dry, but we did lose one of the most-decorated classes in the history of our program,” Hulse said. “We lost some key players and we’ve got some serious holes to fill. But we’ve got some good young kids that have come up and accepted that challenge.”
Belton still has Madison Hunsaker, a senior pitcher who went 20-4 with a 1.08 ERA and had a.454 batting average last season. This season, Hulse again expects Hunsaker, who has committed to Missouri State, to be key to the Pirates’ success.
“She’s a difference maker for us,” Hulse said. ‘Not only in the circle, but with the bat. She’s one of the best hitters I ever coached.”
Third baseman Amelie Hall is also a returning senior starter for Belton, as are center fielder Hayley Wells and left fielder Sydney Bandy. Junior Megan Murphy is back in right field, and sophomore second baseman Macee Austin also started last year. The Pirates also have two freshmen in the starting lineup: shortstop Avery Hobson and catcher Chloe Murphy.
That lineup struggled in the opener against Ray-Pec, with the Panthers taking a 5-0 lead with the help of four unearned runs. But the Pirates settled in after that and went on to dominate their first two Silver Bracket games, beating St. Joseph Central 10-1 in the quarterfinals and routing Fort Osage 15-0 in three innings in the semifinals. The Pirates were scheduled to play Kearney Wednesday in the bracket final.
“I think we can compete,” Hulse said. “I think we could be very good if we continue to grow. These girls care for each other, they play for each other, and they have all the ingredients to be successful.”
Harrisonville and Pleasant Hill both took third in pool play and advanced to the Bronze Bracket and were to meet Wednesday in the third-place game. Harrisonville beat Truman 10-2 in the bracket quarterfinals and fell to Winnetonka 9-3 in the semifinals, while Pleasant Hill downed Park Hill 10-2 and lost to Grain Valley 4-2.

Roosters have just three returning starters from last season’s 3-7 team.

Roosters will be relying on newcomers
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
Last season, Pleasant Hill broke in a new football coach. This season, the Roosters are breaking in a new roster.
Only three starters – one on offense and two on defense – are back from last season, which was the first under Greg Smith. Smith’s first team went 3-7 overall and 2-3 in the MRVC West, so having so many new faces on the Roosters’ 56-man roster may not be such a bad thing.
And those new faces, Smith said after the Roosters hosted a jamboree last Friday with Ruskin, O’Hara and Van Horn, are starting to blend together nicely.
“It certainly presents some challenges,” Smith said. “But the kids did an outstanding job of buying in months ago. They really did a good job over the course of the summer and the offseason.”
Offensive lineman Trey Stone, a junior who also started as a sophomore, and senior linebackers Casey Gifford and Cole Lightfoot are the extent of Pleasant Hill’s starting experience. But that doesn’t mean the Roosters are totally devoid of proven players beyond those three. Many of the players on the roster, Smith said, started later in the season or saw a good amount of playing time coming off the bench.
“It’s not like we’re starting completely fresh,” Smith said. “A lot of those guys played a lot and got a few starts last season as well.”
That would include Dalton Bach, a senior who takes over at quarterback for the graduated Cameron Haws. At running back, Smith plans on using Lightfoot and Gifford for most of the carries and Cody Fause, a junior who has also been getting some reps in the preseason.
With Gifford and Lightfoot also starting on defense, Smith said it was important to spread out the rushing workload.
“Absolutely, at least early in the season,” Smith said. “And we need to keep them fresh.”
Smith said the Roosters are deeper at receiver this season, with junior Tanner Todd and senior Zach Gray manning the wideout spots and sophomore Garrett Schick also looking impressive in practice.
“The receivers are doing a really good job,” Smith said. “We’ve got a little bit more depth this year than we’ve had at the receiver spot last season. We’ve got some other kids that are getting some good reps as well.”
While Stone will certainly be a mainstay up front, Smith said the Roosters’ offensive line remains unsettled. There are several candidates to join Stone, but Smith hadn’t seen any of them rise to the top before the jamboree.
“We’re waiting to see a couple of those kids distinguish themselves from the group,” Smith said. “That could be a work in progress for a couple of weeks yet.”
Pleasant Hill’s defense is more certain with two proven linebackers in Gifford and Lightfoot. Smith said he’s also been impressed with senior cornerbacks Matt Berry and Parker Evans and senior safety Kevin Aguilar.
Smith will be counting on all the new and few returning starters to navigate the Roosters through another rugged schedule, which begins tonight when they play host to the same Smithville squad Smith led for 12 seasons before coming to Pleasant Hill.
After that comes another rugged MRVC West schedule which again includes Oak Grove, Odessa and county rival Harrisonville. And while they drop down from Class 4 to Class 3 this season, the Roosters will now have Oak Grove and Odessa as district rivals along with Hogan Prep and Center.
“The district is stacked, our schedule is incredibly tough, but we can’t worry about all those outside things,” Smith said. “We just have to worry about trying to improve on a daily basis.”

Simulation educates group about the realities of poverty
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com

Gail Cheatam waded through a throng of people to a desk. Once there, she was direct.
“Hi, my name is Eunice and I have $27 left in my budget,” Cheatam informed the woman behind the desk, initiating a request for a utility subsidy.
Cheatam was among a group of around 50 participants of a poverty simulation held by the West Central Community Action Agency last week.
The nonprofit gathered participants from Belton and surrounding cities to briefly reveal the responsibilities the poor are commonly burdened with: applying and qualifying for utility assistance, providing meals for families on limited incomes and working around restricted access to transportation.
Cheatam is a financial planner who manages clients with an average net worth of around $500,000. But inside the simulation she was 85-year-old Eunice Ussar, an impoverished elderly woman.
The exercise recreated the experience of intense poverty by tasking participants with budgeting time and scarce resources to meet their basic needs. The experience recreates the day-to-day high demands of the poor, an obstacle to breaking out of the poverty cycle. In the 10 minute sessions, participants were faced with the consuming work of survival the poor face.
“I was very taken aback,” Cheatam said in the break between the first and second sessions.
Cheatam once managed a group of restaurants in Kansas City, and was in charge of more than 300 employees. In the two decades she worked there, Cheatam said she would often hire people who didn’t have the money to fulfill the uniform standards. In those instances, Cheatam would offer to buy the clothes for her employees. She estimated 25 percent of her employees came from impoverished conditions.
While the activity mirrors some of the basic principles of a game, “poverty is not a game,” Sandy Koetting, a community service specialist, reminded the group before beginning.
Belton Mayor Jeff Davis also participated in the exercise. In a debrief after the exercise concluded, he said the experience recalled his time as a school administrator. Many of his students were living out of cars.
“Several of these kids were brilliant kids, but they didn’t get a chance to go to school,” Davis said. “They didn’t have a home.”
Citing the number of children who qualify for free and reduced lunches — about half of the entire Belton School District — Davis called poverty in the city an epidemic.
“The biggest fear I have … is that some of my friends, some of my constituents, are going through some of what we’ve done here today,” Davis said.
Grandview substitute teacher Jane Redmond said it’s not uncommon to meet homeless students in the classes she teaches.
“(Poverty) is very real for me in terms of children that I interact with daily,” she said.
In the debrief, Cheatam said the exercise revealed that the availability of resources isn’t by itself enough to lift people out of poverty, and that the work to access a necessary service can potentially create new obstacles.
“There are resources out there, but at 85 are you really going out there to get them?” Cheatam asked the group, recalling her assumed identity as a poor senior.
According to the Missouri Community Action Network’s annual state poverty report, 10.5 percent of Cass County residents lived at or below federal poverty line in 2014, a $23,850 annual income for a four-person household.
The same report states the number of Missouri households in poverty started rising in 2007 from 13 percent to its peak at 16.2 percent. It fell to 15.5 percent in 2014.

John Gray, hired last April as the junior high coach, faces depleted roster after taking over the varsity in June when the previous coach left.

Eagles dealing with sudden coaching change
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
John Gray wanted to get back into coaching soccer, so last April he took a job coaching the junior high team at Summit Christian Academy.
Little did he know that two months later – and less than two months before the start of the season – he would wind up taking over the high school varsity program when former coach Dane Cockrell stepped down in June.
All of a sudden, it became transition time for the Eagles.
“Dane had 30 players last year and I was kind of excited seeing the talent that I had and 10 seniors,” Gray said. “Then I saw them all drop off.”
Gray wound up with just 20 players and three seniors back from last season’s 8-14-1 squad. But there’s still some experience and talent in that group, and the Eagles don’t plan on writing off this season despite all the upheaval.
“We are not as good as we were last year,” SCA senior Eddie Banks-Johnson said. “But we have a lot of talent on our team, and I think we can do good this year.”
Banks-Johnson, an all-Crossroads Conference and all-district player last season, is one of the three seniors, and Gray expects to have another once a promised foreign exchange student shows up. Normally a forward and a goal-scorer, Banks-Johnson has volunteered to man the back line as a defender and help shore up the Eagles’ depleted defense.
“Eddie’s a great leader; he has a great spirit,” Gray said. “It’s something that I’m excited to see, people willing to step up and be those defenders. So I’m kind of proud of Eddie.”
Goalkeeper Keegan Gladey, who backed up senior Vance Vandermark last season, is another one of the seniors along with Collin Burgess. The only juniors are defender Luke Zizza and midfielder Garrett Sanders, both returning starters, and backup goalie Josh Cassell.
“A lot of these kids haven’t played together,” Gray said. “I’ve got a lot of returning forwards and midfielders, but my defense I’m going to have to really build. That’s a point of emphasis for me.”
SCA does have a proven goal scorer in Isaiah Vigliano, a sophomore who also earned all-conference and all-district honors last season. Vigliano scored 19 goals last season, the most among the returning Eagles, and he doesn’t see any reason for a drop-off even with fewer players and more new faces.
“The first few practices were a little rough but we’ve definitely gotten better,” Vigliano said. “We’ve progressed each practice. I expect what happened last year and maybe (going) further.”
A lighter schedule should help, said Gray, who has almost 20 years of coaching experience and teaches chemistry at Lee’s Summit West High School. The Eagles open Aug. 23 at home against Kansas City East Christian and will faces fewer bigger-class schools than in the past.
“We don’t have as tough a schedule this year,” Gray said. “Last year they were playing a lot of 4A and 5A schools. Essentially we have about three 3A schools on our schedule, but it’s going to be schools that are about our size.”
It’s another way Gray hopes to make this season of sudden transition smoother. Banks-Johnson, after just a couple of weeks of workouts, already sees things smoothing out.
“We’ve handled it pretty well,” Banks-Johnson said. “Practices have gone perfectly fine. Just a lot of new people and we have to learn to work together as a team.”

Belton believes progress will continue
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
The challenge for Todd Vaughn when he first took over Belton’s football program four years ago was to instill a winning attitude into an often downtrodden team.
Vaughn has done quite well in that area, as could be seen in the atmosphere last Friday at Southwick Stadium in the second annual City Wide Pep Rally. Hundreds of purple-clad Pirate fans turned out to bid in a silent auction, hear the marching band and watch the Pirates scrimmage.
And it’s also been visible on the field, where last season the Pirates, who only won one game in Vaughn’s first year, went 8-4 and advanced to the Class 5 District 6 final.
Now it’s time to see if Vaughn can take the Pirates another step further. And even though he’s lost some talented seniors from last season, he still feels this team has the potential to do it.
“We’ve got to have some kids step up in some key areas to go to the next level,” Vaughn said. “It’s going to be a process, but I think we have the kids that can do it. It’s just a matter of getting some game time, getting some game experience and then seeing where they’re at.”
Belton has 11 starters back from last year, four on offense and seven on defense. What the Pirates are missing is a running back like Zach Willis, who rushed for 2,628 yards and 41 touchdowns and was a Simone Award finalist last season.
Vaughn isn’t so worried about replacing all those yards. He’s more concerned about rebuilding an offensive line that has no returning starters.
“I don’t know if you replace a kid who rushes for 2,600 yards,” Vaughn said. “I think the harder challenge is replacing our offensive line, because there’s four of them and (there was only) one Zach.”
Vaughn will be relying on three seniors with limited experience up front: left tackle Chris McDonald, center Tui Houston, and Charles Vestal, who is competing for one of the guard spots. They will pave the way for senior running backs Dylon Smith and Garrison Whitney, who will share the load once carried by Willis. Juniors Dante Madden and Nick Hammer are expected to get carries, too.
“Dylon’s the type of kid who could carry that load but he also plays on defense so we’ll have to key an eye on that,” Vaughn said. He’s a good running back, but we didn’t have to play him last year, obviously.”
Belton has a first-year starter at quarterback in Bart Harris, but the junior did get some varsity experience last year and as a freshman. The Pirates’ top receivers - Nick Snyder, Malik Clayborn and Joe Lind - are all seniors that started last year.
“We’ve got some good skill kids,” Vaughn said. “I’m not saying we have a Zach Willis, but we’ve got some really good receivers and we feel our quarterback has the potential to be pretty special. We’ve just got to progress up front. That’s our key offensively.”
Experience will be the key to Belton’s defense, which has several veteran seniors on the line and in the secondary. Rogers McDaniels, a first-team all-conference end last season, returns to the defensive line along with fellow seniors Houston and Thomas Beckford.
Smith, a first-team all-conference cornerback last year, moves to free safety in the Pirates’ secondary. Senior Dalton Chastain moves from cornerback to outside linebacker to join Clayton Staats while returning starter Jaden Clark and Tyler Ortman will be the cornerbacks.
Vaughn was still deciding last week who would replace last season’s three senior linebackers. Senior C.J. Christensen and junior T.J. Brown are expected to earn two of those spot, and five other players were competing for the last position.
That decision had to come soon, because the schedule doesn’t allow Vaughn the luxury of easing anybody in. Belton once again opens against Raymore-Peculiar, and the two bitter Cass County rivals meet tonight at Southwick Stadium.
It’s a tough way to start out the year, but Vaughn knows the Pirates should see how close they are to taking that next step.
“They’d be a challenge for us in weeks three and four, too,” Vaughn said. “It would be nice to get some weeks in before we play them, but I think it’s a great way to start. I wouldn’t pick it any other way.”

Raymore keeps its poise after weather delay and rolls to a 48-21 victory at Belton.

Panthers stay focused and storm past Pirates
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
When lightning suspended the annual rivalry between Belton and Raymore Peculiar on Aug. Panther coach Tom Kruse began to think that it was Déjà vu all over again.
Two years ago, the same thing happened when the Panthers played at Staley. Up by seven points with a suspended quarter to play, the Panthers wilted the next day and lost 18-17.
On the other sideline, the Pirate experience was just the opposite. During his first season as Belton’s head coach, Todd Vaughn’s team drilled William Chrisman in a suspended two-day affair 48-19.
This time Ray-Pec kept enough focus to beat Belton 48-21 at Southwick Stadium in Belton. But even with Ray-Pec holding a 28-0 lead at the suspension, Kruse was taking nothing for granted.
“We will change our focus; we will attack this like it is a whole football game, not just finishing the game we just started,” Kruse said after the game was suspended. “At Staley, it was ‘hey, let’s get through a quarter’ and it didn’t happen. We are going to find a way to change that this time around.”
On Saturday, Belton used the suspension to break down the newly installed Panther offense and actually outscored Ray Pec 21-20, but it wasn’t enough.
“The delay was beneficial for us defensively,” said Vaughn. “Most of what they did, they have never done before. When they came out in some new formations it was good for us to come in and sit down and watch some film and see what we were doing wrong.”
Despite the new-found Ray-Pec offensive explosion, it was a first-quarter 55-yard interception return for a touchdown by defensive back by Andrew Houston that pulled the momentum to the Panthers.
“Houston is a playmaker for us in the secondary,” said Kruse. “Andrew just stepped in front of it and he’s a pretty good athlete. He just outran everyone to the end zone. That definitely got us a little bit of momentum and helped put it away.”
In northern Cass County, these players see a lot of each other in the community, and Houston’s big play will give the Panthers some bragging rights, at least until next year.
“The Belton players usually talk before the game; we see them at Buffalo Wild Wings and around town,” said Houston. I’ll just let my play do the talking.”
Belton got off to a sluggish start last season, losing two of its first three games, but rebounded to finish 8-4, and advance to the Class 5, District 6 championship game.
“We have four brand-new starters on offense and we have good skill kids,” said Vaughn. “Once those offensive linemen start to gel we are going to get better.”
Noah Durham led the Panther offense with 136 yards on 13 carries. Receiver Keith Slider had three catches for 56 yards and a touchdown.
Both schools will open conference play tonight, with Belton hosting Liberty in a Suburban Blue Conference game while the Panthers will be home to face Lee’s Summit North in a Suburban Gold Conference matchup.

Raymore-Peculiar and Lee’s Summit engage in another physical battle that ends with a 3-0 Tiger victory.

Panthers develop new rival in soccer
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
Raymore-Peculiar’s biggest rival in sports and everything else is supposed to be that purple-clad school on the other side of I-49. Panthers soccer coach Mike Williams though would beg to differ.
“They always used to say that Belton was our rivals but I have to be honest with you: I think Lee’s Summit is,” Williams said. “I think these boys get more up for a Lee’s Summit game than they do all those other games.”
It’s easy to see how Ray-Pec and Lee’s Summit have created one of the area’s better and bitter soccer rivalries. They both play in the Suburban Gold Conference, and they frequently meet in district tournament play too.
And the two teams apparently don’t care much for each other.
It can get a little chippy when the Panthers and Tigers meet on the pitch. And Monday night’s season-opener for both teams was no exception. There was enough shoving, tackling and jawing to produce four yellow cards and one red card, and enough ill will generated to fan the flames even more after Lee’s Summit claimed a 3-0 victory at Bud Hertzog Stadium.
Ray-Pec has spiced up this rivalry by pushing Lee’s Summit hard over the last two seasons, even as the Tigers went on to win a Class 4 state championship and advance to the quarterfinals. And early on in Monday’s contest, the Panthers were pushing the Tigers again.
Ray-Pec got off three good shots over the first six minutes as they kept the pressure up around Lee’s Summit’s goal, but the Panthers couldn’t get one to convert. One shot banged off the crossbar, another sailed too high and another was smothered by the Tigers’ goalkeeper.
“You know if you hit those early on, it turns into a different game,” Williams said. “Unfortunately, they didn’t go in.”
Williams said the back-and-forth physical play may have taken a toll on his team even as it affected the younger Lee’s Summit squad too.
In the 19th minute, Lee’s Summit midfielder Nick Froelich was taken down in the 18-yard box and the Tigers received a penalty kick. Bailey Oelberg made the shot and gave the Tigers the lead and some needed confidence.
“We were on our heels,” Lee’s Summit coach Dave Wiebenga said. “Ray-Pec is an older team, and they were really pushing us. The goal really settled us down and we started to play the ball a little bit.”
Lee’s Summit upped its lead to 2-0 when Jake Renetzky scored off a set piece, and sophomore forward Keenan Johnson added another when he angled in a low shot to the far post in the final three minutes.
With all the talent and experience the Panthers have this season, Williams couldn’t get too disappointed about Monday’s loss. Mark Poindexter, an all-state forward who scored more than 30 goals last season, is one of 12 seniors on the varsity roster. The Panthers also have another capable forward in junior Corey Prince and a solid midfielder in junior Bret Felz.
“It’s probably one of the most experienced teams and most talented teams I’ve ever had,” said Williams, who’s in his sixth season at Ray-Pec. “So it’s just a matter of what they do with their potential.”
BELTON WINS: Belton evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 victory over Kearney Tuesday at Kearney. Juan Garcia recorded a hat trick for the Pirates and goalkeeper Michael Wright had the shutout.
Belton opened its season with a 3-1 loss Aug. 19 at Park Hill South. Dawson Lee scored the Pirates’ goal.

Harrisonville attorney Steve Mauer announced he would resign effective in September. City documents show Mayor Brian Hasek forced him out, then quickly found a replacement. Some on council are concerned.

Longtime city attorney forced out, replaced by former judge
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com
|
Steve Mauer, an attorney who has represented Harrisonville for the past 20 years, announced in a letter to Mayor Brian Hasek and the Harrisonville Board of Aldermen that he would resign.
He wrote in the resignation letter last week that his exit was not voluntary.
“Pursuant to the request of Mayor Hasek, we are resigning as city attorneys,” Mauer wrote, referring to himself and his legal firm, Zerger and Mauer LLP.
On Monday’s city council meeting, former Platte Woods municipal judge and current Platte County Commission candidate John Fairfield was formally approved as city attorney.
But neither the decision to remove Mauer, nor the hire of Fairfield, was applauded by all.
Readings of an ordinance to install Fairfield ended in 4-4 split votes between the aldermen, with Mayor Brian Hasek casting the deciding “yes” vote in both case.
“I would not be in favor of changing attorneys,” Ward 4 Alderman Josh Stafford said before casting “no” votes on a question to replace Mauer. “The manner in which our new gentleman was selected was completely unprofessional .. underhanded.
“But I pretty much know how these things work out.”
When asked last week if he forced Mauer to resign, Hasek said, “My official statement is Mr. Mauer has resigned ... and we’re moving forward. That’s all I’m saying about it.”
But city documents show Hasek asked the attorney to resign.
In emails to Mauer, Hasek asked for a meeting with the city attorney. After the meeting took place, Hasek asked if Mauer had spoken with his team.
“I would request your resignation, as of Aug. 1, as city attorney from all general and everyday matters,” Hasek wrote on July 24.
The email exchange also included Mauer and Hasek discussing pending litigation and how Mauer could help the city make the transition to a new city attorney.
Mauer asked not to be quoted for this story, as he will continue to represent the city in a limited capacity to see a case to its conclusion.
City documents show that Hasek and Aldermen Brad Bockelman, Clint Long and David Dickerson previously met with Mauer’s potential replacement, Fairfield.
In a letter to the mayor, Fairfield writes that he has also provided legal counsel to Hasek and Bockelman in the past.
When The Democrat asked if he and other aldermen met privately with Fairfield, Hasek declined to answer the question.
“I don’t have to,” he said. “These are allegations and I don’t know why it’s privy to the story.”
He added later by text message that he had never met with Fairfield and other aldermen intending to discuss asking Mauer to resign.
However, Fairfield said by phone that during one of the meetings, the aldermen and Hasek “inquired as to my interest in being city attorney, if there was a change at some point in time in the future.”
Alderwoman Judy Bowman said that if the aldermen met privately with Fairfield after Hasek reinstituted his committees on July 20, the meetings may have broken the Sunshine Law.
Hasek, Long, Dickerson and Bockleman are four of five members of the personnel and finance committee.
“If they met as a quorum of the personnel committee,” said Bowman last week, “then this is likely a violation of the Sunshine Law as it relates to the posting of a meeting.”
Three members constitute a quorum of the personnel committee, and Hasek can be included toward that count because he can vote, City Clerk Kim Hubbard said.
An agenda for meetings where a quorum is present must be announced to the public prior to the meeting, and a record of the meeting itself must also be made available. No such documents exist for the aldermen and mayor’s meetings with Fairfield.
John Fairfield said he could not recall specific dates when the mayor and aldermen met with him.
Fairfield added that during one of the multiple meetings, which he said took place this summer, Long was not present.
“It’s unfortunate that the mayor has chosen to govern in a non-transparent manner,” Bowman said, adding that even if the aldermen and Hasek met with Fairfield before the personnel committee was formed, “at the very least, it looks bad.”
Hasek said there were no committees in place from June 1, 2015 through July 20, 2016, so there was no quorum of committee members. He added that all meetings with Fairfield occurred between the same dates.
“There were never more than two alderman with me at a meeting with Mr. Fairfield at any given time, so there was never a quorum present,” Hasek said.
Fairfield submitted to the city a prior conflict waiver stating he will not represent either the city or Hasek if a conflict arose between the two. He also said he submitted the waiver to let the citizens know he had contact with the aldermen.
“The document is saying if I would find out something in my representation of the city that would be detrimental to Hasek, I can’t use that personally against him,” Fairfield said.
He added he would report any improper behavior by Hasek, should he discover it, though he couldn’t represent the city against Hasek in such a case.
Lack of transparency
The aldermen discussed Mauer’s resignation in a closed session after its Aug. 1 regular meeting. Bowman questioned why that meeting was held behind closed doors, as Mauer served as an independent contractor and not a city employee.
Mauer’s resignation comes less than a year after former city administrator Keith Moody left Harrisonville for Roeland Park’s city administrator position.
Moody declined to comment on the record for this story.
Alderwoman Marcia Milner believes Moody’s and Mauer’s resignations could be the first of many city employee resignations.
“I think we’re going to see a huge number of staff exiting,” Milner said. “As a city we’re creating a hostile work environment.”
John Foster, a long-time builder in Harrisonville who began attending city aldermen meetings in the ’60s, said the mayor and those close to him “try to figure out a way to destroy their opponents.”
New administration, new city leadership
After Moody’s resignation last September, Mike Tholen, the former finance director, put retirement on hold to serve as the city’s interim administrator.
He said turnover on city staff is common, especially following elections that reshape a city’s governing body.
“The makeup of the board changes, so the board that hired you isn’t necessarily the board you’re working for. The board today deserves to have somebody that reflects their vision and goals,” Tholen said, speaking of the board’s ongoing search for Moody’s permanent replacement.
“That’s an accepted premise of this vocation. You have to deal with that, and sometimes that requires you to move on.”
Hasek, during a public forum prior to his election, called for a state audit to reestablish trust between voters and elected officials.
A few months after he was elected, citizens collected enough signatures to initiate the audit, which is ongoing.
“I truly believe I was elected by the majority of the voters to make changes to the way our city government is run,” Hasek said.
He believes in smaller government through fewer city ordinances, fewer tax incentives granted to developers and no tax increases, if possible.
“I think that’s kind of the catching trend around the country,” Hasek said. “People are wanting to see government have less interaction in the free market.”
Some of Hasek’s critics claim the mayor is intractable in his pursuit of his vision for the city, and that Mauer’s resignation is evidence that those who do not fall in line will be shown the door.
“I believe the mayor is attempting to get rid of as much of the cadre that he can get rid of,” Foster said. “It appears he is looking for ‘yes’ people, people that agree with his line of thought.”
Since Moody’s resignation, the board has reviewed 32 resumes from candidates for city administrator.
Six candidates made it to a final round, Bowman said, but for varying reasons none was hired. Now the board is left with the remaining 26 candidates who did not make it to the initial final round.
Hasek admitted the search has taken longer and has been more difficult than he expected.
But he contends the city is running smoothly with Tholen serving as the interim administrator, albeit while working just two days a week, pursuant to the terms of his contract.
Tholen, though, said a city of Harrisonville’s size requires a full-time administrator.
“It’s not a part-time job,” Tholen said. “I think the board doesn’t get as much feedback as would be ideal. Staff doesn’t get as much coordination as is ideal.”
Heads butt at meeting
At Monday night’s meeting, some aldermen bristled about being presented a candidate who appears to have been privately vetted. Those voting no insisted that the city attorney vacancy ought to have been vetted through the finance and personnel committee, which is currently reviewing candidates for city administrator.
Before a packed aldermens’ chambers, the discussion periodically broke down. Ward 1 Alderman Judy Bowman was interrupted while asking about how Fairfield was paid in the initial meeting with Hasek.
“Judy is still speaking,” Ward 2 Alderman Marcia Milner countered.
“I’m tired of this line of questioning,” Ward 3 Alderman David Dickerson replied.
Alderman Clint Long, like Hasek, said the city is running efficiently without a full-time administrator.
“I would like to have an administrator that is someone we could mold,” Long said.
Bowman, though, said she believes Hasek is seeking an administrator who will follow his directives, and his alone. And that only his select aldermen are truly involved in the process of filling the roles of Moody and Mauer.
“I believe there’s some overreach on his part,” Bowman said. “It’s the mayor’s role to build the team, and you govern through compromise, and this mayor does not compromise. He does not communicate.”
Foster said his job as a builder was the reason he began attending city government meetings. He said he’s interacted with 13 mayors including Hasek in various capacities, both professionally and personally.
Leadership, Foster said, entails a responsibility to all the citizens and their aldermen.
“The law gives him a lot of authority,” Foster said. “But you should not be in the business of tearing down with that authority. You should be in the business of building up.”

Whirlwinds see reason for optimism
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com

The last few seasons, Archie hasn’t had much to brag about in football. Over the last three years the Whirlwinds combined record was 4-23.
However, there is talk around the Western Missouri Conference that this year’s team might be different.
“The kids worked really hard in the offseason,” said Archie head coach Michael Toschi. “For years we have only really had freshmen and sophomores. This year we have 15 juniors and five seniors. At the team camp in early June we looked good. At the jamboree we only gave up one touchdown.”
The preseason enthusiasm got off to a good start on Aug. 19 in the home opener against Crest Ridge. While the Whirlwinds kept it close, Archie fell short to the Cougars 16-13.
It didn’t look good for the Whirlwinds early. After giving up a touchdown to Crest Ridge on the opening drive, Archie created its own momentum and responded with a 92-yard drive.
Archie’s defense came up big later in the quarter, recovering a fumble on the Cougar 20-yard line, setting up the offense within striking distance of the lead.
With an eye on the sky, the officials suspended the game after the first quarter due to lightning. According to the lightning meter in the Whirlwind press box, the nearest strike was over 90 miles away, but the officiating crew suspended the game anyway.
“I think we were the only game who didn’t have a chance to finish the first half,” said Toschi. “We had all the momentum at that point and the suspension just killed us.”
The game resumed Saturday morning at 11:30 with a Crest Ridge momentum killing defensive stand, denying the Whirlwinds a chance to take the lead.
The Cougars took the defensive stand and turned it into a touchdown, putting a Whirlwind victory out of reach.
“Crest ridge has a nice ball team, they are well coached and hard-nosed,” Toschi said. “Our kids competed their tails off, overcame a lot of adversity in a 24-hour period, and fought until the final whistle. I am extremely proud of our team.
Quarterback Caleb Schacher was nine for 19 with a touchdown, and Kale Wheeler led the rushing attack with 65 yards on 15 carries. Wheeler also led in receiving yards, catching three balls for 45 yards.
Archie will face a much stiffer challenge tonight when the Whirlwinds travel to conference rival Midway.
“They are good a really solid football team,” said Toschi. “They are big upfront and play mistake free football.”
Midway will enter the contest having won its season opener at Osceola 36-16. Peyton Richardson rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns and Joe Zielinski had 103 rushing yards to lead the Vikings. Tristan Driggs had a TD catch and rushed for another score.

Harrisonville High freshman struck, killed by vehicle after school

A Harrisonville High School student walking away from school died after being struck by a vehicle Tuesday.
Corey Turner, 14, was a freshman at the high school. He was walking west on the sidewalk along East Elm Street when a swerving vehicle struck him.
The identity of the driver has not been released by the Harrisonville Police Department, which is assisting with an investigation by the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Lt. Chris Osterberg, an investigator with Harrisonville police, said the driver is 17 years old and also a student at the school. The driver, who was also heading west on Elm Street, swerved near the intersection at North Halsey Avenue. When the driver attempted to re-enter the roadway, he struck Corey, Osterberg said.
The vehicle then crashed into the front of a home, causing damage.
Corey was rushed by ambulance to Cass Regional Medical Hospital, but he was later pronounced dead.
The driver of the truck was uninjured, Osterberg said. He added the driver was questioned before being released to his parents.
Sgt. Collin Stosberg, a spokesman for the patrol, said there was no evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.
He added that the reconstruction investigation, which includes witness interviews and analysis of the scene to determine vehicle speed at the time of a crash, would not be finalized for about a month.
A resident, students and Osterberg said speeding in general has been a concern in the afternoons after students are released from school. No evidence has been released that the driver was speeding before the crash in this incident, though.
A resident of the neighborhood, Gary Johnson, said he’s felt enough concern about high school students driving on Elm that he’s asked local elected officials to consider placing stop signs on Elm at the Halsey intersection, near where the driver swerved off the road.
Osterberg said the police department typically assigns five officers to patrol the city specifically to counter speeding after school each day. On Tuesday, three officers were out on patrol.
“We have speeding issues in general when school lets out,” Osterberg said.
Paul Johnson, the resident inside the home that was struck by the vehicle, said he felt the house shake but was in another part of the house during the impact and so was unharmed.
The vehicle, a Chevrolet Blazer, appeared to fully penetrate a front wall of the house.
“I’m homeless now,” Paul Johnson said. “But (Corey) and his family is where the thoughts need to go.”
As news spread of Corey’s death at the high school, only a few blocks from the site of the crash, several students in the stands and on the gym floor for a volleyball game began to cry.
Karley Reynolds, a freshman, was shocked by Corey’s death.
“It’s unimaginable. It’s just an ordinary day, and then something like this happened,” she said.
But she said she’d remember Corey for his jocular personality.
“Even in the most awkward times, he’d always make jokes,” Karley said. “He’d really make us laugh if we were ever in a sad situation.”
Another freshman classmate, Joey Lasure, said he played soccer with Corey.
“He was into country music,” Joey said, “and he liked to hunt.”
Joey added that as a member of the cross-country team, he’s felt unsafe in the past when running on Price Street near the high school.
“Cars will drive past, and I’ll get a little uneasy,” Joey said.
The Harrisonville School District announced extra counselors will be available to students and staff at the middle school and high school in the coming days.
On the morning after the incident, students gathered at the flag pole on school grounds for a prayer, a moment of silence and to speak about Corey, according to Jill Filer, a spokeswoman for the district. Several youth ministers from the community also came to speak with students Wednesday.
Statement from the Turner family
“We appreciate the outpouring of support and prayers from the community. We are still in shock and our hearts are broken for both our family and (the driver’s) family because this has catastrophically changed all our lives.
“Corey was a sweet kid who always had a smile and was always respectful to others. He also wanted everyone to respect each other. This morning at the remembrance ceremony organized by Harrisonville High School students, Corey’s mom told the students to live life to the fullest because tomorrow is not a guaranteed thing.
“We hope everyone will respect our privacy during this difficult time and give us our time to grieve.”

Lanei Saelens was nursing her baby as she watched her two sons play at Jump City in Belton. A manager first asked her to cover up or nurse in a separate room, then asked her to leave.

Mother asked to leave children’s play center for breast-feeding
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com

A mother of three said she felt embarrassed and angry when a manager of a local business asked her to leave because she was breast-feeding her baby.
Lanei Saelens, a mother of three sons — one a 2-month-old baby — took her children to Jump City, a play center in Belton, Aug. 2. After she finished breast-feeding, Saelens said a manager asked her to cover up or remove herself to a party room. When she refused to do either, Saelens said she was asked to leave.
The manager told Saelens other patrons had made complaints.
“I said I don’t have to cover while feeding,” Saelens said. “I don’t have to go in another room. In Missouri, it’s legal to feed him.”
Saelens wanted to remain in the play area to watch her other sons, and she added her baby becomes too uncomfortable to breast-feed while underneath a cover.
“She said, ‘Excuse me, I know the law,’” Saelens recalled of her interaction with the manager in an interview following the incident.
Missouri law states “a mother may, with discretion, breast-feed her child or express breast milk in any public or private location where the mother is otherwise authorized to be.”
A 2014 House bill altered the language of the law from “with as much discretion as possible” to “with discretion.”
The manager involved in the incident said the company was not releasing a public statement at this time.
Saelens said the owner of Jump City, who she said was not present during the incident, later told a media outlet that the manager had only suggested she cover up or remove herself to a separate room.
“But it definitely was not a suggestion,” Saelens said.
A few hours before the incident, another mother at Jump City breast-fed her baby without a cover. Sheria Dawson said Jump City staff did not give her any trouble and even helped her other child down from a slide.
“A couple of employees saw me and just smiled,” Dawson said. “They acknowledged my presence and knew what I was doing but didn’t say anything about it.”
Dawson, a mother of two, said she still feels a sense of wariness when breast-feeding in public. She cited online videos that show mothers accosted because they are nursing.
“I don’t want someone to attack me,” Dawson said. “It’s a very vulnerable position ... (Breasts) are everywhere, so why is it a big deal if they’re being used for what they’re made for?”
Saelens said she was surprised by how she was treated at Jump City considering she regularly breast-feeds at other area businesses without incident.
“I just want it to be out there that breast-feeding is normal,” Saelens said. “You should not have to go and hide your baby to be able to feed your kids.”
A friend who accompanied Saelens on the trip to Jump City, Kayly Jones, posted about the incident on a Facebook page. Before the post was removed due to profanity by page administrators, it garnered comments from many people who were largely critical of Jump City for its treatment of Saelens.
Bonnie Leismeister commented and is also one of the page administrators who decided to remove the post.
Leismeister said she always used a cover of some sort while breast-feeding. She even used one while nursing in her home to conceal herself in front of her 12-year-old child.
“Saying that publicly, women who disagree will attack. They will say it was because I was ashamed,” Leismeister said, adding discussions on the topic are unfortunately polarizing and make dialogue difficult.
But she supports a mother’s right to choose how to breast-feed.
“I support all mothers in whatever they decide works for them, their baby, their lifestyle, their work and their family,” she said. “In the end, a healthy baby is what we all want.”

Even with fewer players, the Vikings feel they still have the personnel to make another deep playoff run.

Midway maintains a healthy outlook
| null | null |
www.demo-mo.com

Two-a-days concluded last Tuesday for the Midway football team, and coach Larry Burchett didn’t mind seeing them come to an end. With the Vikings’ season opener just over a week away, Burchett was ready to pick up the pace.
“It’s coming together OK,” Burchett said. “This week’s pretty draggy; last week was pretty good. You get full pads getting seven days of two a days, it’s draggy time.”
Burchett is entering his 29th season at Midway and his 42nd in coaching hoping injuries and a drop in numbers won’t combine to thwart another deep postseason run. He has a lot of talent and experience back from a team that went 10-3, won the Western Missouri Conference and reached the Class 1 quarterfinals, but he also doesn’t have the depth he had last season.
Midway will have a small freshman class this year, so the drop in numbers didn’t come as a complete surprise. Still, Burchett expected to have 35 players on the roster; now it looks as if he’ll have closer to 30.
“We knew we’d be down in numbers a little bit, but we’re down a little lower than we thought we’d be,” Burchett said. “If we get in a few injuries, we could get in trouble pretty quick.”
If it stays healthy, Midway will be a team with plenty of experience on both sides of the ball. The offense will once again be in the hands of senior quarterback Blake Mincks, who started for the Vikings last season. Senior running backs Tristan Driggs and Peyton Richardson will get most of the carries in the Vikings’ spread offense, and wide receiver Joe Zielinski, also a senior, will be Mincks’ main target.
“We’ll pretty much do the same thing we’ve been doing,” Burchett said. “And our skill spots are pretty good.”
Protecting the Vikings’ backfield will be a line with three returning starters in center Zach Schofield and fellow senior linemen Bobby Potts and Nick Harper. Potts was a starter on defense last season and Harper played both ways.
Junior Spencer Smith, who weighs around 260 pounds, will give Midway added size up front, as will junior Boog Chandler and senior Jesse Kelley, who will start on defense.
“It always helps to have some experience back because the other guys are going to be first-year starters,” Burchett said. “I think our front group will be OK. We’re not going to have the depth we had, obviously.”
Driggs, who was one of the WEMO’s top linebackers last season, will lead the Vikings’ defense again this season. Senior Kale Williams will start again at defensive back while Mincks and sophomore Josh Yahnig are expected to play in the secondary.
“We’ve still got three or four spots we’ve got to find yet, but I think that first group is going to be very competitive,” Burchett said. “And as long as we stay healthy we’re going to be all right. But if we start to get a bunch of injuries, it could change us in a hurry.”
Staying healthy is more a concern considering Midway’s schedule, which Burchett believes is tougher than last season’s. An improved Archie squad along with tough tests in Drexel and Adrian will make the WEMO more rugged, and Butler and Class 3 school Kansas City East will offer challenges too. The season kicks off Aug. 19 at home against Osceola.
“I think that if we stay healthy, we’ve got a chance to be close to where we were,” Burchett said. “We’ve got a tough schedule.”

S.Sudan seeks $300 million to support budget

www.dailystar.com.lb

South Sudan's government wants $300 million in aid and loans to support its next budget, as it seeks to stabilize the country, which has been scarred by civil conflict since achieving independence in 2011 . Last week, the Cabinet approved a budget proposal for the 2016/17 fiscal year which nearly tripled spending at 29.6 billion South Sudan pounds ($520 million).
Dau said in 2016/17, the government planned to raise 9 billion South Sudanese pounds in non-oil revenue, a 50 percent increase from the previous year.

Vaccines for young and old reap benefits for the whole community
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Influenza is another vaccine-preventable disease. While the influenza virus can cause disease in people of all ages, the elderly – those 65 and above – are disproportionately affected in terms of death and hospitalization, with the oldest being at greatest risk.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices thinks that the burden of disease is at least 100 times greater than currently reported.
The Tdap vaccine, which protects adults from diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, could reduce this burden considerably. Another vaccine, called Td, protects against tetanus and diphtheria, but not pertussis.
Finally, there is pneumococcal disease, a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, which can cause pneumonia, meningitis, or bloodstream infection (sepsis).
In the U.S. alone, pneumococcal pneumonia, bloodstream infections and meningitis kill tens of thousands of people each year, including 18,000 adults aged 65 years and above. Two main types of pneumococcal vaccine available for older adults – the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) and the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) – could ameliorate the situation.
Thanks to child immunization programs, fewer children die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases.

STL to resume with Al-Akhbar editor sentencing
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Al-Akhbar editor-in-chief Ibrahim al-Amin will be sentenced by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon Monday at 4 p.m., convicted of interfering with the administration of justice by revealing the identities of purported confidential witnesses. The sentencing hearing will be the court's first action after returning from a monthlong summer judicial recess.
Amin and Al-Akhbar were found guilty on contempt charges related to undermining public confidence in the courts ability to protect witnesses July 15 .
Both parties will have a chance to speak before Contempt Judge Nicola Lettieri issues the sentence. Lettieri has invited Amin to attend Monday's hearing, but it would a significant surprise if he appeared.
Throughout the proceedings prosecutors have asked that the court summon Amin to attend or issue a warrant for his arrest. Lettieri has declined to do so, but a sentence which includes jail time could prove a significant problem for the court.
The court's finding provoked significant discord.

France to call for end to talks on EU-US trade deal: minister

www.dailystar.com.lb

France will ask the European Commission to halt negotiations on a massive trade deal between the European Union and the United States, the country's junior minister for trade said Tuesday.
The negotiations have been bogged down over the terms of the agreement as well as Britain's shock vote to leave the EU and rising opposition to the deal in France and Germany.
France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls has said it would be "impossible" for the two sides to conclude negotiations on a trade deal by the end of 2016 .

Guantanamo’s quagmire, a U.S. walk of shame
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Only 61 prisoners remain in Guantanamo, of which only seven are facing criminal charges.
Thirty-two respected retired generals asked Obama to submit a plan to Congress detailing actions the administration will take to close Guantanamo.
Obama's plans to close Guantanamo suffered a setback when, on Nov. 25, 2015, Congress passed a defense authorization bill, the National Defense Authorization Act, reinforcing a ban on the use of torture, another historical stain on U.S. foreign policy also tied to Gitmo's infamous story. Although widely praised by its stand on torture, the NDAA contains provisions that make it practically impossible for Obama to close Guantanamo.
Obama's plan to close Guantanamo is based on speeding up the work of the Periodic Review Boards, created by executive order on March 7, 2011 .
There are presently about 35 countries willing to accept a Guantanamo detainee, where the remaining 61 detainees could be transferred.

United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Sigrid Kaag will visit the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh Tuesday, following a period of collaboration between Lebanese and Palestinian authorities in the camp to subdue heightened security concerns. Kaag's second visit to the camp will be dominated by meetings with Palestinian officials.
Kaag's presence in Ain al-Hilweh at this time is believed to be significant due to the recent security developments within the camp.
Sources say Kaag's visit can be seen as international mobilization to parallel local action, or as the U.N.'s way of offering its "blessing" for the Lebanese-Palestinian cooperation.

Germany’s Iran exports soar post-sanctions

www.dailystar.com.lb

Exports to Iran surged by 15 percent year-on-year in the first six months of 2016 to 1.13 billion euros ($1.3 billion), the Federal Statistics Office said.
This compares with a rise of 1.4 percent in overall German exports in the same period and a decline of 14 percent in German exports to Iran in 2015 .
German exports to the United States and France, its two most important markets, fell 4 percent to 53.4 billion euros and 2 percent to 52.1 billion euros respectively on the year in the first six months of 2016 .
Demand from emerging markets was subdued, with German exports to China only inching up 1 percent to 36.3 billion euros, to Brazil falling 18 percent to 4.4 billion euros and to South Africa down 11 percent to 4.4 billion euros.

The photos were part of a months-long exchange between Weiner and the woman and many of the messages were sexual in nature, according to the Post report.
Weiner resigned in June 2011 from Congress, where he represented New York, followed a sexting scandal in which he accidentally posted an explicit photo of himself on his public Twitter timeline instead of via a direct message to a woman, as he had intended.
Weiner said he had undergone therapy after the first sexting scandal, according to media reports.
Abedin often travels with the Clinton campaign.

New concerns rise over Novak Djokovic’s fitness
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Novak Djokovic opened the defense of his U.S. Open title with a 6-3 5-7 6-2 6-1 win over Poland's Jerzy Janowicz Monday, but the labored performance gave rise to fresh concerns about the world No. 1's fitness.
The Serb might have been in trouble on another day at Flushing Meadows but Janowicz, ranked 246 places below Djokovic, has advanced from the first round just once in four previous U.S. Open visits and looked unlikely to do it again Monday.
Several times during the 2 hour, 37 minute match, Djokovic could be seen grimacing when hitting his powerful forehand, while his serve rarely looked threatening, stuck at around 100 mph.
When play resumed, Djokovic immediately broke the Pole and held serve on way to taking the first set.

Germany's Gabriel says poorly handled Brexit would see Europe go down the drain
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said on Sunday that if Britain's exit from the European Union was badly handled and other member countries followed its lead, Europe would go "down the drain".
Since Britain's stunning June 23 referendum vote to leave the European Union, all eyes have been on Germany to indicate a way out of danger for the 27 members who will remain.
EU leaders are refusing to countenance a "Europe a la carte" by letting Britain select the parts of its future relationship that it may like, such as access to the bloc's single market of 500 million consumers, while dispensing with EU principles such as the free movement of people.

Ryan Lochte to dance with stars, says Rio scandal overblown
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Disgraced Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is joining the "Dancing With the Stars" cast, ABC television announced on Tuesday, as the gold medalist said he thought reaction to his tale about being held up at a Rio de Janeiro gas station had been blown out of proportion.
Brazilian authorities say the group destroyed a bathroom and urinated in public, and have recommended that Lochte be charged with falsely reporting a crime.
Other "Dancing With the Stars" contestants in the season starting on Sept. 12 will include 16 year-old U.S. Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez, former Texas governor Rick Perry, and rapper Vanilla Ice.

World Vision urges public trial by Israel of its staffer
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
World Vision's global president has questioned Israeli accusations that the NGO's Gaza head diverted millions of dollars in aid to Hamas and said his trial should be open to the public.
A first court hearing for World Vision's Mohammed al-Halabi is set for Tuesday and is expected to be held in secret.
The NGO has said its Gaza budget for the past 10 years was only $22.5 million, making the allegations all but impossible.
Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza have fought three wars since 2008 and Hamas is labelled a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union.
Jenkins defended the NGO's work in Gaza over the years, saying it had performed "with integrity".

Love of money is the root of poor investment
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Avarice, the love of money, is one of the seven deadly sins. Throughout world cultures, the belief is deep that avarice is an evil, to be avoided.
Psychologists say the love of money is not about any instrumental need to fulfil other goals, but rather about a love or need of cash for its own sake.
Using the Money Ethic Scale developed by Thomas Li-Ping Tang in 1992, State Street developed an "investor love of money", or Ilom, scale.
Prosperous nations, where people have less need to worry about money, are the least covetous of it.
State Street's survey suggests that to profit from people's avarice, you should give them ample opportunity to trade heavily and convince them they can make an easy buck.
Those who say the world's biggest financial centre profits from greed have a point.
Avarice, indeed, is the vital ingredient for any financial industry.
It is through irrational behaviour, indulged in by many, that the possibility of making money is created.

Lawsuit filed against LCB’s auditing firm
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
A shareholding company in the defunct Lebanese-Canadian Bank is suing Deloitte & Touche's Middle East operation and its managing partner Joseph al-Fadl for what it termed gross negligence in auditing the balance sheets of the bank and failing to unveil the money laundering activity of the lender and its management.
Nest Group acquired a 24 percent stake in LCB through a series of transactions between late 2005 and late 2007 .
Apart from Nest Investments Holding, nine other minority shareholders also filed the lawsuit against Deloitte & Touche (Middle East).
Nest Investments Holding said that Deloitte had been auditing the accounts of the LCB since 1995 until its liquidation in 2011 .
The claimants say that Deloitte failed in its duty as auditor since Fadl's team allowed its relationship with LCB senior management and majority shareholders to become compromised.

Friends, colleagues to remember slain Mississippi nuns
Friends and colleagues who knew two nuns killed in their Mississippi home are gathering Sunday to remember them, as authorities continue to investigate the harrowing crime that shocked people in the small communities where the women committed their lives to helping the poor.
Rodney Earl Sanders, 46, of Kosciusko, Mississippi, has been arrested and charged in the deaths of Sister Margaret Held and Sister Paula Merrill. The county sheriff said Sanders confessed to the killings although many people are struggling to comprehend why anyone would want to take the two women's lives.
Sanders had a criminal record.
Strain said he does not know if Sanders has an attorney.
Merrill said he would not support the death penalty if Sanders were to be convicted but that decision will ultimately be made by the people in Mississippi.

Antonio is a surprise name in Allardyce’s first England squad
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
West Ham United's versatile Michail Antonio was the surprise inclusion when new England manager Sam Allardyce named his first squad Sunday, for the World Cup qualifier away to Slovakia on Sept. 4 .
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart, left out of the West Ham match again, was included in the squad although Allardyce has expressed concern about his lack of match practice.
Manchester United's Luke Shaw, Everton's Phil Jagielka, Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater and Arsenal's Theo Walcott returned after missing Euro 2016, where defeat by Iceland in the last 16 cost Roy Hodgson his job.
He was succeeded last month by Allardyce, who has left out midfielders Ross Barkley of Everton and Arsenal's injury-prone Jack Wilshere.

Venezuela ex-mayor Ceballos sent to prison from house arrest

www.dailystar.com.lb

Ceballos was arrested in 2014 on accusations he helped lead violent unrest in the tumultuous western city of San Cristobal, where he was mayor.
Venezuela has faced intense international pressure to free jailed opposition leaders including Ceballos and Leopoldo Lopez, another former mayor who was also imprisoned in 2014 in connection with anti-government demonstrations.
Maduro calls says Lopez and Ceballos are dangerous coup-plotters intent on toppling his government, and blames them for more than 40 deaths during the 2014 protests.

Give arrested aid worker fair trial, Amnesty tells Israel
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Amnesty International Monday called on Israel to give an aid worker charged with aiding the Islamist movement Hamas a "fair and open trial", citing allegations of abuse in custody.
On Aug. 4 an Israeli court charged Halabi, the Gaza director of the World Vision NGO, with having channeled millions of dollars in foreign aid to the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and its armed wing.
World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organisation, has reacted by saying it had "no reason to believe" the allegations against Halabi were true.
The charge sheet said he was recruited by Hamas to infiltrate the aid organisation more than a decade ago, rising to become the head of World Vision's Gaza operation.

Robot baby schemes may increase teen pregnancy
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb

Electronic dolls designed to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy do not work, a new study has found, and may even raise the number of babies born to young moms.
Lead researcher Sally Brinkman said the group given the robot baby were more likely to become pregnant before early in life.
Brinkman said researchers at Western Australia's Telethon Kids Institute were trying to determine whether the robot babies, which she said cost over $1,000 each, were worth the money.
Of all the girls who fell pregnant, 53.8 percent of those who had the robot baby terminated the pregnancy compared with 60.1 percent in the control group.

Filipinos seen backing Duterte despite rising drug killings
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Faced with criticism of his actions by rights activists, international bodies and outspoken Filipinos, including the top judge, Duterte has stuck to his guns and threatened to declare martial law if the Supreme Court meddles in his work.
According to a survey early last month, he has the support of nearly 91 percent of Filipinos.
Jayeel Cornelio, a doctor of sociology and director of Ateneo de Manila University's Development Studies Program, said he suspects only a few of Duterte's supporters are disillusioned by the killings and his rhetoric because voters trust his campaign promise to crush drug criminals.
Duterte's death threats against criminals, his promise to battle corruption, his anti-establishment rhetoric and gutter humor have enamored Filipinos living on the margins of society.
Duterte has said drugs were destroying the country.
The following day, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay said the Philippines was not leaving the U.N. and Duterte made the comment only because he was tired, angry and frustrated.
Cornelio said the death toll is not the clincher in turning public sentiment against Duterte, because a lot of people look at them as justified killings.

Facebook aims for video-loving teenagers with new app
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Facebook Friday took direct aim at video-loving adolescents, and Snapchat, with the release of a new iPhone app that allows teens to watch clips about the lives of their classmates.
The app, called Lifestage, was released with no fanfare, and is available for anyone to download on iPhone, although seeing profiles of other users is reserved for those 21 years of age or younger.
A tool in the app lets users block and report older folks.
Lifestage was seen by some as an effort by Facebook to stay connected to young internet users disinclined to take part in the leading social network.

Colombia cease-fire 'will not stop govt fighting crime'
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Colombia's defense minister has insisted the historic cease-fire with FARC rebels will not end the country's commitment to fight crime, as a judge Friday issued arrest warrants for leaders of another group also pushing for a peace deal.
Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos ordered a definitive cease-fire with the Marxist guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), due to start on Monday, after the two sides reached a landmark deal to end their half-century conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced millions to flee their homes.
That announcement came after Colombian and FARC negotiators presented a 297-page peace accord Wednesday following nearly four years of arduous negotiations in Cuba.

Do more for S.Sudan refugees, says a top UN official

The international community must respond to the refugee crisis caused by fighting in South Sudan in the same way it responded to the crisis in Europe, the U.N. refugee chief said in Uganda Monday.
The U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, says 88,533 people have fled South Sudan for Uganda since July when fighting broke out between rival factions in the capital of the world's youngest country.
Grandi was speaking at Pagarinya Settlement Camp in northern Uganda where more than 22,000 refugees arrived within two weeks of fighting breaking out in the South Sudanese capital, Juba.
The UNHCR registers all of the South Sudanese migrants entering Uganda.

UN official tours Ain al-Hilweh, praises security efforts
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon Sigrid Kaag Tuesday praised the security coordination between Lebanese and Palestinian agencies during a tour of a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
The U.N. official's visit comes amid heightened tensions between factions within the camp and concerns over its use as a safe haven for militants and recruiting ground for extremism spurred the Lebanese-Palestinian collaboration to stabilize the areas.
She said she was in regular contact with General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim and Army Commander Gen. Jean Kahwagi on the overall security challenges in Lebanon.
Ain al-Hilweh, Lebanon's largest Palestinian camp, is home to rival Palestinian factions, some of which are considered terrorist groups by the Lebanese government.

A call to human decency in Yemen
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
A possible sign of change appeared this week in the call Thursday by the top United Nations human rights official for the international community to establish an independent body to carry out comprehensive investigations of human rights violations in Yemen.
The numbers in Iraq and Syria are much worse in magnitude, with hundreds of thousands dead due to the deliberate war policies by Arab governments and their local and foreign foes. In the past two weeks alone we have had official and credible reports by assorted international organizations that speak of tens of thousands of Syrians killed in government jails, 18 different starvation sieges on civilians in Syria, attacks against hospitals and other noncombatants in Yemen, and the use of chemical weapons in Syria by the government and its opponents alike.
Movement on the Yemen war alone could be a realistic first step for an international investigation on alleged war crimes that would be independent, multinational and credible – and fearless in investigating powerful and wealthy governments in the Arab world and abroad that have long enjoyed impunity in turning Arab lives into hell.

UEFA keeps it in the family as Champions League changed

www.dailystar.com.lb

Stung by criticism that the competition has become too predictable, UEFA emphasized that it would continue to be open for teams from Europe's smaller national leagues although the number of places set aside for them would drop from five to four.
UEFA also stopped short of guaranteeing captive places for certain big clubs, another possibility which sources said had been discussed privately in meetings over the past few months.
Under the present system, the top three leagues have three places each while their fourth-placed teams must play off over two legs for a place in the group stage.
UEFA uses a complicated coefficient to determine the rankings of the national leagues.

Turkey 'planned Syria operation for over 2 years'
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Turkey had been planning a Syria ground operation for over two years before launching an offensive this week, but it was stalled by the military and various international disputes, an official said Thursday.
The operation is Ankara's most significant move since the start of Syria's bloody civil war more than five years ago.
Jarablus has been under ISIS control for three years, with the timing raising questions over why Ankara had not launched the operation sooner.
The risk of a further confrontation with Moscow put an end to all Turkish air operations over Syria that would have been essential for any ground operation.

Winning run ahead of Manchester derby important for United: Rooney
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Manchester United's unbeaten start to the Premier League has helped the club build momentum before the derby clash against Manchester City, striker Wayne Rooney has said.
Marcus Rashford slotted in a winner in stoppage time against Hull City last weekend to ensure that Jose Mourinho's side were tied at the top of the Premier League on nine points after three league games.
Mourinho and City manager Pep Guardiola will renew their rivalry when the two Manchester clubs meet on Sept. 10 at Old Trafford, and Rooney said there was an air of excitement ahead of the eagerly anticipated clash.

Canadian autoworkers threaten strike
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Canadian autoworkers have voted unanimously to authorize a strike if contract talks with the big three U.S. automakers do not lead to new investments in Canadian assembly plants.
Unifor, which represents the 23,000 Canadian autoworkers who work for Ford, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors, set a September 19 strike deadline after the near-unanimous backing Sunday for a strike if the automakers don't meet their demands.
Canadian plants have steadily lost jobs to Mexico during the past 25 years, and unless the negotiations produce investment commitments, the auto industry will continue to contract, according to Unifor.

Art market echoes in Beirut
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb

Sales are down compared to the past five years, Saleh Barakat observed.
Most purchases have been made at his two galleries – Agial and the recently opened Saleh Barakat Gallery. Though he attends regional and international art fairs, he regards them to be more important for exposure than sales.
Modern and contemporary artists from this country occupy a prominent place in the art market, so the reflections of active gallerists like Barakat are a good way to assess the health of that market, albeit impressionistically.
Verifiable figures are few, especially for the primary market (galleries and art fairs), but numbers offered by Christie's Dubai suggest a general sense of the region's secondary market.
This past year Christie's held two auctions in March – timed to correspond to Art Dubai, the region's pre-eminent art fair.
A Damascus concern that in the past several years has opened branches in Dubai, Jeddah, London and Beirut, the gallery represents artists from around the Arab world and participates in one regional fair, Art Dubai.

Track and field gets ready for post-Bolt era
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb

As Usain Bolt parties in London, around 30 Olympic medalists, including nine champions, have headed to Switzerland for the first major track and field meeting since the Rio de Janeiro Games.
Meet director Jacky Delapierre said the stadium would have been sold out "for sure" if Bolt was running, though noted the sport must get ready for a new era.
Delapierre is in talks to bring Bolt back to Lausanne for likely the last time next July ahead of the 2017 world championships in London.
Looking to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 22-year-old McLeod could build on his 110-meters hurdles gold to become a star.
Olympic champions also in action Thursday include 100 and 200 champion Thompson in the shorter event, while Bolt's 4x100 relay teammate Asafa Powell headlines the men's 100 .

Ancient Greece’s Tower of Winds keeps its secrets
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
It is said to be the world's first weather station, to date back more than 2,000 years, and to have been used by merchants to tell the time – even in darkness. The Tower of the Winds – which still stands on a slope on Athens' ancient Acropolis hill despite attempts by Lord Elgin to move it to Britain – has been restored and re-opened to the public for the first time in nearly 200 years.
The octagonal monument is made almost entirely of Pentelic marble, the same used for the Parthenon and rarely found in buildings other than temples.
Its use as a Muslim place of worship, Daskalakis said, saved it from the hands of British diplomat Lord Elgin, who took prized Parthenon marbles from the Acropolis some 200 years ago.

Teen boy behind Colorado medical pot law dies
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
A 15-year-old Colorado boy who helped pass a law requiring schools to allow students to use medical marijuana has died.
Jack Splitt used marijuana to treat pain from cerebral palsy and he and his mother, Stacey Linn, began pushing for what ultimately became known as Jack's Law after a school employee ripped a skin patch delivering cannabis-derived medication off his arm in February 2015 .
The law, which was signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in June, requires schools to allow a parent or caregiver to administer medical marijuana on campus.

Wenger '99 percent confident' on Arsenal deals
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed the club were close to completing transfers Friday, amid reports they are poised to sign Germany center-back Shkodran Mustafi and Spanish striker Lucas Perez.
British press reports claim Mustafi, 24, will sign from Valencia for around 35 million pounds ($46.2 million, 40.9 million euros), with Perez, 27, set to cost around 17 million pounds from Deportivo La Coruna.
Both players will reportedly undergo medical examinations Friday.
Wenger has come under pressure from the club's fans to bring in new players, with supporters chanting "Spend some money!" during last weekend's 0-0 draw at Leicester City.
But Wenger said he would not be influenced by the fans' demands.
Commenting on the difficulty of signing players, Wenger added: "It was a strange transfer market.

German practitioner suspected of killing patients with experimental drug

The head of an alternative cancer treatment center in Germany is under investigation after three patients died there in suspicious circumstances, German prosecutors said on Friday.
The non-medical practitioner, identified as Klaus R., is suspected of manslaughter in three cases and negligent injury in the case of two more patients who remain in serious condition, said Axel Stahl, senior prosecutor in the Krefeld prosecutor's office.
Investigators are looking into allegations that the suspect treated patients with 3BP, an experimental drug that has not been clinically tested or approved for use as a cancer treatment.

Clinton proposes plan to address mental health treatment

www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Hillary Clinton is rolling out a comprehensive plan to address millions of Americans coping with mental illness, pointing to the need to fully integrate that plan into the nation's health care system.
If elected, Clinton would hold a White House conference on mental health within her first year in office.
Clinton's campaign said the plan would attempt to integrate the nation's health care system to create a more seamless way of providing both medical and mental health treatment to patients.
It would also be helped by a Clinton proposal to boost funding for community health centers that she announced earlier in the summer along with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, her primary rival.

An Israeli court Sunday postponed a hearing for a U.N. worker accused of aiding the Islamist movement Hamas after a dispute over whether he should be immune from prosecution.
After reviewing the charge sheet, the UNDP challenged Israel's allegations and said Borsh diverted the rubble under instructions from the Palestinian Authority.
More than two-thirds of the population of the enclave -- which Israel has blockaded for a decade -- are reliant on some form of aid, according to the United Nations.

Parliament's Finance and Budget Committee said Monday that decentralization was the ultimate solution for the garbage crisis and called on a number of municipal unions to meet later this week to discuss possible plans.
Kanaan explained that although there was consensus that decentralization of waste management as the best solution to the trash issue, it was the interim period before it was achieved that was problematic.
The temporary solution is due to last four years, allowing the government to develop a long-term plan to tackle the country's waste issues.
The Finance and Budget Committee will convene again Wednesday in the presence of the municipal unions of Metn, Kesrouan, Baabda and the Burj Hammoud and Jdeideh-Boushrieh-Sadd municipalities to discuss possible solutions.
Chehayeb urged the Kataeb Party to be flexible in dealing with the trash crisis in Metn areas and to stop stalling by blocking work at the Burj Hammoud landfill.

U.N. aid going to Assad-linked groups: report

www.dailystar.com.lb

United Nations aid contracts worth tens of millions of dollars have gone to people closely associated with Syrian President Bashar Assad despite U.S. and EU sanctions, the Guardian reported Tuesday.
It also said the U.N. had given money to the state-owned fuel supplier, which is under EU sanctions, and to Syria's national blood bank, which is controlled by Assad's Defense Ministry.
The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization had given $13.3 million to the Syrian Agriculture Ministry, which is on the EU sanctions list, the Guardian said.
A U.N. spokesman defended the contracts.

Scientists find Earth-like planet circling sun's nearest neighbor
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Scientists have discovered a planet that appears to be similar to Earth circling the star closest to the sun, potentially a major step in the quest to find out if life exists elsewhere in the universe, research published on Wednesday showed.
The planet, located about 4.2 light-years from Earth, or 25 trillion miles (40 trillion km), is the closest of some 3,500 planets that have been discovered beyond the solar system since 1995, according to the paper.
Based on the timing of wobbles, scientists determined that the planet circles its host star in just 11 days, compared to Earth's 365-day orbit around the sun.
That puts the planet far closer to its parent star than Earth orbits the sun. However, Proxima Centauri is so much smaller and dimmer than the sun that its planet's orbit is suitably positioned for liquid water despite being just 4.4 million miles away.

The United Nations on Friday applauded Canada's decision to commit 600 troops and funding to peacekeeping, saying it will have a big impact.
Military transport aircraft will also be deployed and training provided for UN troops and police, according to Canadian officials.
At that conference, more than 50 countries pledged more than 40,000 troops for deployment in UN missions worldwide.
The pledges represent a major boost to UN peacekeeping, which relies on voluntary contributions from UN member states to run its 16 missions worldwide.

Jets hit rebel-held Homs area for first time in year: residents, activists
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb

Jets believed to be Syrian planes hit the besieged Al-Waer neighborhood in the city of Homs Sunday, a day after the evacuation of residents and fighters from rebel-held Daraya on the outskirts of the capital, residents and activists said.
They said over a dozen air strikes on the residential quarter caused at least seven deaths and dozens of civilian injuries in the last rebel-held area in Homs city, Syria's third largest city.
It was the second day of air raids, the first such strikes since around a year ago in the rebel-held area where community leaders in December reached a U.N.-sponsored deal with authorities to evacuate fighters under a phased plan that would have shored up government control of the city.

Maldives issues arrest warrant for ex-president Nasheed

www.dailystar.com.lb

The Maldives announced Wednesday it is seeking former president Mohamed Nasheed's arrest for failing to return to the troubled archipelago to complete a prison sentence after receiving medical treatment in Britain.
Opposition sources said Nasheed has been meeting Maldives opposition groups in Sri Lanka in recent days to hatch a plan to topple the archipelago's president Abdulla Yameen.
Nasheed was among members of several exiled opposition groups meeting in Colombo, two people in Nasheed's Maldivian Democratic Party have told AFP.
Nasheed, a climate change activist who was also imprisoned during the three-decade rule of former strongman Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, was elected president in 2008 .

Iraq asks Riyadh to replace envoy who riled militias
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Iraq asked Saudi Arabia Sunday to replace its ambassador in Baghdad after his comments about Iranian involvement in Iraqi affairs and the alleged persecution of Sunnis angered local Shiites politicians and militia leaders. The request by Baghdad's Shiite-led government underscores the depth of enmity between Sunni and Shiite regional powers as sectarian conflicts rage in Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
Iraqi Shiite politicians and militias have made persistent calls to expel Sabhan, who has been calling on the Iraqi government to exclude Shiite paramilitary groups from its military campaign against Daesh in order to avoid abuses against Sunnis in Iraq.
Khafaji, who heads the Iraqi militia group Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas, said that many factions in Iraq want to target Sabhan.

Frank Ocean releases second album 'Blonde'
After months of suspense and weeks of cryptic online teasing ahead of the release of his long-awaited second album, hip-hop breakout star Frank Ocean has released "Blonde".
The album, released late Saturday via Apple Music, comes after the widely acclaimed 2012 "Channel Orange," which defied easy classification by bringing together R&B, jazz and funk with the singer's gentle, often-falsetto voice.
The name of the album is spelled "Blond" on the cover, but "Blonde" on Apple.

Houthis say ready for fresh peace talks
| null | null |
www.dailystar.com.lb
|
Yemen's Houthi-run governing council said Sunday it was ready to restart peace talks with the country's exiled government provided an Arab-led coalition stopped attacking and besieging Houthi-held territories.
In talks in Jeddah this week, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the conflict had gone on too long and needed to end.
Yemen's internationally recognized government, based in Saudi Arabia, has made similar demands but insisted that the Houthis fulfill all those measures before any new government was formed.
The Yemen war has killed more than 6,500 people and displaced some 3 million, leaving more than 80 percent of the population in need of humanitarian aid.
