Gunman in Louisiana kills 3 cops and injures 3 others ‘Stop this killing’ is cry in Baton Rouge as nation reels from violence By Amy Ellis Nutt, Matt Zapotosky, Mark Berman The Washington Post BATON ROUGE, LA. — A lone gunman killed three law enforcement officers and wounded three others in Baton Rouge on Sunday morning, less than two weeks after the death of an African-American man at the hands of Baton Rouge police. The shootings occurred when police responded to a 911 call that a man, dressed in black and armed with what appeared to be an assault-style rifle, was walking near a shopping plaza about a mile from police headquarters. The deaths shocked a nation already on edge over recent killings by police, a run of violence that began July 5 in Baton Rouge and which has now left 10 dead, including eight law enforcement officers and two residents killed by police. Two city policemen and one sheriff’s deputy were fatally wounded, and another sheriff’s deputy was critically injured, said Col. Michael Edmonson, the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police at a news conference.

Hogan weighs releasing funds Assembly ‘fenced off’ Priority projects of legislature, governor await his release of money By Michael Dresser The Baltimore Sun At Prettyboy Elementary School in northern Baltimore County, workers are tearing up worn carpeting and replacing the floor as part of a $200,000 project paid for by Maryland’s Aging Schools Program. All over Maryland, dozens of similar state-financed projects are in the works in public schools, but the program could grind to a halt if Gov. Larry Hogan decides not to release $6.1 million the General Assembly set aside for it in this year’s budget. The money is part of $160 million the legislature “fenced off” in the budget, telling Hogan he may spend the money only for purposes they specified. But under Maryland’s strong-executive Constitution, the legislature cannot force the inside Baltimore City Council members plan to begin work this week on legislation that would rapidly increase the city’s minimum wage to $15 an hour — a proposal that has drawn heavy criticism from city agencies, economists and businesses. Council members are split on the measure, which would increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2020. Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has not formally opposed the bill, but the city’s Finance Department estimated it would cost the city more than $150 million over the next five years, and push the unemployment rate as high as 10.6 percent. “This would return the City to the unemployment levels of the Great Recession, and virtually all of the jobs lost would be youth, young adults and unskilled jobs,” the department reported. Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke introduced the bill in April amid a national movement to increase the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage is $7.25. New York, California, the District of Columbia, San Francisco and Seattle all have approved legislation to push the rate to $15 over time. Maryland’s minimum wage increased to $8.75 from $8.25 this month, the first of See COUNCIL, page 9 governor to spend the money. He could just add it to the state’s roughly $360 million budget surplus. Some lawmakers believe Hogan is determined to withhold the funds, but spokesman Matthew A. Clark said the governor has yet to decide. “We’re going to look carefully at the items they fenced off,” he said. “We are keeping a very close eye on revenues in order to make decisions that match up with fisHogan cal realities.” The decision is part of a broader struggle between the Republican governor and Democratic-dominated legislature over who gets to decide spending priorities in the state’s $42 billion operating budget. The fenced-off money has taken on a political importance larger than its actual effect on state finances. “That’s a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the See SPENDING, page 9 SUMMARY OF THE NEWS MARYLAND Hostages unharmed in standoff in SW Baltimore A 7-year-old girl and three other hostages were unharmed in a 51⁄2-hour standoff at a Burger King restaurant in Southwest Baltimore, where a rape suspect had barricaded himself.

Liquor board adopts new operating procedures Restoring transparency is aim of troubled agency By Sarah Meehan The Baltimore Sun KENNETH K. LAM/BALTIMORE SUN A suspect surrenders to Baltimore police after a standoff inside inside a Burger King restaurant at Washington Boulevard and South Monroe Street. Four hostages were held during the incident. Hostages unharmed after being held in SW Baltimore restaurant By Colin Campbell The Baltimore Sun An armed man suspected in an alleged recent rape took four people hostage — including a 7-year-old girl — for hours Sunday inside a Baltimore Burger King, where he had barricaded himself following a police pursuit across the city that ended in a car crash, authorities said. After hours of negotiations, the man released the first two hostages one at a time, authorities said, then surrendered to police with his hands in the air and walked out of the Carroll Park restaurant with the last two hostages just before 5 p.m. Keysha MacKall, mother of 7-year-old Kamya Commander, said she was relieved her daughter and the other hostages were unharmed. Kamya smiled as she stood next to her sipping a Slurpee. “It’s been like hell,” MacKall said. “My nerves was all over the place. ... I’m just glad she’s fine. She’s here.” The arrest of the unidentified suspect brought an end to a 51⁄2 -hour standoff in the hot Sunday sun that prompted Baltimore Police to request SWAT reinforcements from Howard, Harford and Anne Arundel counties. Police said charges are pending. Officers initially tried to stop the man to serve him an arrest warrant on the northwest side of the city about11a.m., when he sped off and led police on a chase to Washington Boulevard and South Monroe Street, police said. The man’s car crashed into another car at the intersection about 11:30 a.m. and ran inside the fast food restaurant, where he barricaded himself and the hostages, police Video online For a video from the hostage incident in West Baltimore, go to baltimoresun.com said. The driver of the other car sustained minor injuries and was treated at a hospital, police said. Tactical units lined up, guns drawn, along the restaurant’s exterior wall Sunday afternoon. An officer with an assault rifle ordered bystanders to clear Carroll Park. Police taped off the crime scene a block away, and the Foxtrot helicopter circled overhead. The owner of the Burger King franchise paced anxiously along the police line. He declined to be interviewed. Three others were taken hostage with the girl, police said: a 67-year-old customer and two female employees, a 17-year-old and 25-year-old. “We’re very fortunate this situation ended peacefully,” Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith said. The 17-year-old was released about 1:45 p.m., police said. Then came the release of the 67-year-old shortly before 2:30 p.m. The suspect made clear in the negotiations that he did not want to hurt any of the hostages, Smith said. Police negotiators were in “constant communication” with the man, Smith said, and his family members assisted by speaking to him over the phone during the standoff. “He made the decision to do the right thing and that was not to harm anyone,” Smith said. “He absolutely had the opportunity to do so, but he chose not to do so.” Ryan Weinberger, 29, of Glen Burnie, said he was in the dining room as the suspect ran into the restaurant. “Don’t come in here!” the suspect yelled repeatedly after running from the crash, Weinberger said. The man appeared frantic and was talking on a cellphone, Weinberger said. Weinberger said he had stopped at the Burger King for lunch on his way home from dropping his sister off in Pigtown. Weinberger said he heard the crash and walked over to the window to take a picture of it when he realized that police were surrounding the restaurant and the man who’d run in was armed. He was one of three customers who escaped through a side door after the suspect came in through the front, he said. “One of the customers grabbed me and said, ‘Get out — run,’ ” Weinberger said. A young girl with pigtails had been playing a game on an iPhone behind the counter while Weinberger ordered his burger, milk shake and onion rings, he said. Police said Kamya was related to an employee, but they did not say who. They did not identify the other hostages. Valerie MacKall, of Cherry Hill, Kamya’s great-aunt, was trembling as she arrived. She was relieved to hear the suspect had surrendered and her grandniece was safe. “I’m going to hold her and tell her I love her, and everything’s going to be OK,” she said.

GOOD WORKS McDaniel College reading clinic fosters education and enjoyment By Emily Chappell Baltimore Sun Media Group Public schools have been out for a few weeks now, but at Robert Moton Elementary School in Westminster, the rooms in recent weeks have been bustling with students and teachers. The rooms were decorated with maps and flags representing the Summer Olympics — the theme of this year’s McDaniel College Reading Clinic. Deb Miller, program coordinator of the master’s degree program for reading specialists at McDaniel, said the clinic is designed to help graduate students put into action what they’ve learned, and at the same time help local students who could benefit from a little extra help with reading skills. “It’s practice of all the concepts and content,” she said. The summer program is a joint initiative between Carroll County Public Schools and the college. she said. The McDaniel effort is also a Title I federal program “that provides financial assistance to local school systems and schools with high percentages of poor children to support the academic achievement of disadvantaged students,” according to the Maryland State Department of Education. The students, who range in grades from third to fifth, spend four weeks developing reading comprehension under McDaniel instructors, Miller said. Ashleigh Rizzo, a teacher at Robert Moton and a McDaniel student serving as an instructor for the program, described it as a benefit to both McDaniel and the young students – many of whom hate to see KEN KOONS/BALTIMORE SUN MEDIA GROUP PHOTOS Teacher Amy Appleby works with Alberto Quintanilla during the McDaniel College Reading Clinic at Robert Moton Elementary School. Teacher Holly Belfont works with students during the McDaniel College Reading Clinic at Robert Moton Elementary School. it end. The program is important, she said, because it gives special attention to those who can really benefit from it. “We invite just the ones that really need the help,” she said. Miller said the McDaniel instructors work primarily to keep the children on a level maintaining what they’ve learned throughout the year, and stress exercises to help make sure they don’t lose that knowledge over the summer months. That includes a focus to help them keep skills developing once the program is over and before the new school year starts in the fall. During a session this past week, instructors gave parents a set of recommendations that mirrored what the children did this summer, Miller said. “Our goal is that they will then continue working,” she said. Of course, some children go far beyond simply maintaining skills, and show great progress in their reading and writing prowess. Rizzo had some youngsters have improved not only their abilities to read and write, but are getting more out of what they’re reading – which makes them hungry for more. “They’re actually thinking during reading now,” she said. “And they’re enjoying it.” emily.chappell@carrollcountytimes.com A manual of employee expectations and work processes wouldn’t be noteworthy in most workplaces, but for the Baltimore Board of Liquor License Commissioners, a set of standard operating procedures released Thursday represents its latest step to remedy longstanding problems within the agency and improve relationships with local stakeholders. The board, which regulates liquor licenses at bars, restaurants and other establishments across the city, has been mired in controversy for years, and had no formal guidelines for its staff before the manual’s publication. The procedures have been in draft form for several years and address a number of problems exposed in a 2013 audit of the agency. They come as another audit is due to be published. Although mandated by the state, the new procedures are part of the board’s efforts to make the organization more effective and transparent, commissioners said. “A lot of the problems that our agency incurred was that one person would do it one way, another person would do it another way and there was this sense that the process wasn’t fair,” said Thomas Akras, the board’s deputy executive secretary. “And by publishing this document, by training our employees, we can hold them accountable, and the public can hold us accountable for being fair.” The board has been slow to evolve since the 2013 audit unveiled widespread problems within the agency, including 311 complaints closed prematurely, inspections handled inconsistently and failure to follow state law in awarding licenses. Commissioners said part of the delay in righting those problems stemmed from turnover in board leadership and staff. The agency has seen three sets of commissioners in the past three years. “When you don’t have commissioners directing staff and you don’t have staff that’s permanent and has institutional knowledge … it trickles down to the administrative staff, certainly the inspectors and how they inspect,” commissioner Aaron Greenfield said. Greenfield, commissioner Dana Moore and chairman Albert Matricciani were appointed in late April by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and City Council President Bernard C. “Jack” Young after the power of liquor board appointments was transferred to the city from the governor. They replaced chairman Benjamin Neil and commissioners Douglas Trotter and Elizabeth Hafey, whose appointments had not been confirmed by state senators. That board also helped craft the operating procedures. Now, armed with a document that outlines day-to-day operations, a new system to track employee performance and a budget surplus, the agency’s members are starting to realize the work their predecessors began. “I do think it’s a turning point. I feel like the temperature’s coming down,” said Moore, who previously served on the board in 2014-2015. “We want to demystify this board and the work that we do. … And I don’t think this is a board of ogres; this is a board of people that care about Baltimore just as much as anybody else.” Matricciani said he was pleased to see the operating procedures were in the pipeline when he joined the board. “When I first read the audit from 2013, I was taken aback at so many serious criticisms about the way that money was handled internally … evaluations of staff, the supervision of inspectors and on,” he said. “I thought, ‘What did I get myself into?’ ” The procedures address the daily workings of liquor board staff, no matter how mundane. They include instructions on processing license transfers and amendments, docket preparation guidelines, policies for responding to 311 calls, and processes for conducting inspections and reviewing violations. At the same time, the board has created a system to track inspectors’ productivity, which includes monthly goals and breakdowns of the number and type of inspections they complete. Similar to the Baltimore Health Department’s recent upgrade, the liquor board is hoping to soon equip its inspectors with tablets that allow them to upload inspection results in real time. Another project that has been in the works for several years — creating an online portal that allows the public to view liquor license files — is set to roll out by the end of the month. It was due a year ago. Chrissy Anderson, president of the Fells Prospect Community Association, said she would have liked to see those projects come to fruition sooner, but she’s been largely pleased with the changes the board has implemented. “I do see a major difference,” she said. “[The previous board] let licensees or their attorneys kind of run the show, and they’re not standing for that anymore.” smeehan@baltsun.com twitter.com/sarahvmeehan MARYLAND MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 | USM chancellor was highly paid when he led university system in Massachusetts By Carrie Wells The Baltimore Sun University System of Maryland Chancellor Robert Caret was the 22nd best compensated public college leader while he headed the Massachusetts state university system, according to data released by the Chronicle of Higher Education on Sunday.

Manning Edgewater crash sends bicyclist to hospital | THE BALTIMORE SUN LOTTERY AROUND THE REGION Two men shot in Mondawmin area NEWS 4 THE BALTIMORE SUN | NEWS NATION & WORLD | MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 Near RNC site, man goes great guns to make point By Matt Pearce and James Queally Los Angeles Times CLEVELAND — A top police union official asked Ohio’s governor to temporarily ban guns outside the Republican National Convention in downtown Cleveland after the shooting of several police officers in Louisiana renewed fears about the safety of this week’s political gathering. But a spokeswoman for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, said Sunday that he did not have the power to suspend the state’s open-carry laws. The city has banned a wide variety of potential weapons from the protest zone near the convention — a list that includes tennis balls, water pistols and bicycle locks — but cannot limit firearms. The dispute over the open-carry law, which is similar to statutes in most other states, came as protesters from a long list of organizations began to gather here for demonstrations that are expected to last at least until Donald Trump accepts the Republican presidential nomination on Thursday. Sunday afternoon, a man with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, a handgun and ammunition stood in Cleveland’s downtown Public Square saying he was there to exercise his rights and make a point. “What are you going to do, ban everything that kills people?” Steve Thacker, a 57-year-old IT engineer from Westlake, Ohio, asked when someone criticized his decision to walk through Cleveland with the rifle. “The point is to protect yourself. This world is not the world I grew up in.” A local resident, Steve Roberts, 61, who was riding his bike through the square, stopped to acknowledge that Thacker was within his rights, but asked him to LUCA BRUNO/AP People gather in grief Sunday at a makeshift memorial to the victims of last week’s attack in Nice, France. Eight people have been taken into custody since the attack. In France, more signs of killer’s radicalization By Frank Jordans and Angela Charlton Associated Press NICE, France — There is mounting evidence that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the Tunisian-born truck driver responsible for the deadly carnage in Nice last week, had recently absorbed extremist ideas and had become radicalized, French authorities said Sunday. The image of a religious extremist is at odds with the portrait that neighbors and family members initially painted of a man who ignored even the most basic rules of Islam by eating pork, drinking alcohol and shunning the mosque. Many of those who knew him said in the days after Thursday’s Bastille Day attack that Bouhlel, 31, was a difficult person, describing him variously as aloof and hostile, even violent at times. In March, he received a suspended sentence for a road-rage incident — not enough to put him on the radar of France’s security services. But officials said Sunday that Bouhlel, who was killed by police Thursday, had apparently undergone a rapid conversion to radical Islam and carefully planned the attack that claimed the lives of at least 84 people, including 10 children. Hours after the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack Saturday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls said authorities “now know that the killer radicalized very quickly.” Neither Islamic State nor the French government have provided tangible evidence of a link between the group and Bouhlel. But Valls told the newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche in an interview Sunday that the extremist group “is encouraging individuals unknown to our services to stage attacks.” “That is without a doubt the case in the Nice attack,” said Valls, warning that “terrorism will be part of our daily lives for a long time.” Bouhlel rented the refrigerated truck on July 11, purchased a pistol and was seen on closed-circuit TV footage visiting the Prome- nade des Anglais in the following days, according to a French security official, who wasn’t authorized to be publicly named speaking about an ongoing investigation. On Thursday, Bouhlel sent text messages to people who may have been accomplices, the official said. One of those who received text messages was among eight people taken into custody after the attack. The official wouldn’t comment on the content of the text messages or confirm reports that they included a request for more weapons. At least two of the three people detained Sunday are suspected of helping Bouhlel obtain the pistol found in the truck, the official said. Most of those taken in for questioning, including Bouhlel’s estranged wife, who has since been released, described him as violent and unstable. While they all said he had long been indifferent to religion, some described a recent and very rapid conversion to radical Islam, the official said. leave. “You’ve shown it — why don’t you take it back?” Roberts, who was wearing a “Stand for Love” T-shirt, told Thacker. “I find it offensive.” The miniature drama between the men could be one of many that will play out as viewpoints collide in Cleveland this week — not just left versus right, but sometimes far-left versus far-right. In preparation, metal security fencing stands around the convention site, which is protected by the U.S. Secret Service. The rest is the responsibility of a police force including thousands of officers from agencies from California to Florida who have been sworn in with arrest powers in the city. “It’s game time,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said Sunday morning, “and we’re ready for it.” Black nationalists drew an escort of bicycle officers in helmets and shorts as they marched through the city Saturday. Planes towing banners opposing abortion and supporting the imprisonment of Hillary Clinton circled the city Sunday, while on the ground, hundreds of activists marched through the streets to protest Trump and killings by police. Meanwhile, a small but raucous crowd began to chant outside the Cleveland Masonic and Performance Arts Center. “No Trump. No KKK. No fascist USA,” the crowd chanted. On Monday, one group of anti-Trump activists plans to hold an illegal march to the Quicken Loans Arena to have a “clash of ideas” with Trump supporters. The city granted the group use of a public park, but denied them a permit for the route it desired, said organizer Tom Burke. Cleveland police union president Steven Loomis, who called for the ban on guns outside the Republican National Convention, said he was not “against the Second Amendment.” But recent killings of police in Dallas and Louisiana, combined with volatile confrontations that could occur outside the convention, will create situations that are too risky for city police, he said. City officials canceled a planned security briefing for reporters Sunday night but said nothing about whether Sunday’s Louisiana shootings would change the security plan.

NATION & WORLD MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 | NEWS ANALYSIS Political battle just beginning on terror front Candidates differ on how to tackle U.S., global crises By Cathleen Decker Los Angeles Times CLEVELAND — Two successive weeks of political conventions meant to frame the November choice for president kick off this week nearly obscured by violence and terror here and abroad. That has driven a fierce imperative during both gatherings, the Republican convention, which begins Monday, and next week’s Democratic one: convince voters that the party nominee can be an effective leader in a world that seems distraught and divided. The presumptive nominees have offered voters different responses to that need. “Hillary is a weak person,” Donald Trump said Saturday, referring to Democrat Hillary Clinton during a meandering introduction of his vice presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, in New York. “We are the law-and-order candidates, and we’re the law-and-order party. We’re going to change things around.” While Trump talks of strength, Clinton pushes steadiness. Her campaign released a video referring to Trump as “always divisive, not so decisive,” as it recounted Trump’s back-andforth contradictions as he selected his running mate. That came atop a television ad that showed Trump telling interviewer Chuck Todd that he got his military advice information from “the shows,” referring to Sunday news programs. “Hillary Clinton, a steady leader in an unsteady world,” the ad concludes. In marketing themselves to American voters, both candidates are operating from a posture of political weakness. Clinton and Trump are regarded negatively by a majority of Americans, meaning that both are try- MATT ROURKE/AP Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers walk Sunday outside Quicken Loans Arena, where the Republican National Convention is set to begin Monday in Cleveland. ing to persuade voters who are, at least at this point, dissatisfied with their choice in November. The lack of popularity on the part of either candidate could alter what has historically been the response to crisis: opting for the most experienced or publicly stable candidate. In any other year that would be Clinton, a former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state. But concerns about her character appear to have blunted her advantage over Trump. The New York businessman, whose inexperience with foreign policy and mil- itary matters might otherwise have disqualified him during such turbulent times, benefited during the primary season as voters turned away from experience and toward a toughtalking, if detail-free, alternative. Unknown at the moment is what would happen if similar disruptions persist through Election Day. Clinton’s and Trump’s approaches as they try to surmount the political challenges to the outburst of violence here and abroad have diverged along the same lines seen elsewhere in the campaign. Trump played to fear with an apocalyptic tone and few concrete solutions. “Another horrific attack, this time in Nice, France. Many dead and injured. When will we learn? It is only getting worse,” he said on Twitter. Clinton has taken a more diplomatic tone. The U.S. had to work with other nations to defeat terrorism, she said as she warned against unilateral actions that would feed terrorist recruitment. She used as a case study the Obama administration’s extensive efforts to find and capture Osama bin Laden before he | THE BALTIMORE SUN 5 was killed in a U.S. raid. “It’s a different kind of war, and we have to be smart about how we wage it and win it,” she said during a telephone interview with CNN. A ground war in Syria, of the sort that Trump appeared to be hinting at, would only boost the ranks of terrorists, she said. “They would love to draw the United States into a ground war in Syria,” she said. Both candidates face risk as they confront an environment churning with concern. Clinton’s campaign has been operating like a cohesive machine, and she has confronted crises with a sense of surety and deliberateness. That can be reassuring to some voters. But to others, it can seem to telegraph a lack of urgency, even if there are no swift solutions to the problem at hand. Trump has the opposite problem. In trying mightily to adjust to a presidential campaign, he has demonstrated a capacity for disarray that to some voters could suggest lack of readiness for the White House. But the traits they illustrate are easily transferable, given the world’s turmoil. From now on, everything the candidates do will be viewed through the lenses of steadiness and strength. cathleen.decker@latimes.com Mourners mark Garner death anniversary By Michael Balsamo Associated Press NEW YORK — Marking two years since Eric Garner’s death became a flash point in a national debate about relations between police and minority communities, his mother joined families of more than a dozen men killed by police Sunday at a New Jersey church before laying flowers at her son’s grave. “My heart is heavy today,” Garner’s mother, Gwen Carr, said as she stood at his grave site holding a bouquet of yellow flowers and white balloons. “I love you my son. You’ll always be my strength,” she said tearfully. Before traveling to the cemetery in a white limousine, Carr joined the Rev. Al Sharpton and dozens of mourners to remember Garner at a church service in Elizabeth, N.J. They were joined by more than a dozen families whose children had been killed by police, including the family of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old killed in Cleveland months after Garner. “We’re not fighting for revenge; we’re fighting for justice,” Sharpton said. “This is not a battle against the police; it’s a battle against wrong.” Carr said families of all races need to do more to support each other and called for stronger policecommunity relationships. “Let’s not wait until tragedy knocks on our door,” she told churchgoers. Garner’s July 17, 2014, death had been captured on video, which showed him calling out “I can’t breathe” as New York City police officers pinned him down and one held him in an apparent chokehold. Garner’s dying words became a rallying cry at protests nationwide over police killings of black men. At a church service in Staten Island, N.Y., on Sunday morning, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, said society had to overcome “a history of structured racism to move forward.” MEL EVANS/AP Gwen Carr, the mother of Eric Garner, applauds as the Rev.

The crackdown targeted not only generals and soldiers but a wide swath of the judiciary that has sometimes blocked Erdogan, raising concerns that the effort to oust him will push Turkey even further into authoritarian rule. The plotters on Friday sent warplanes firing on key government installations and tanks rolling into major cities, but it ended hours later when loyal government forces regained control of the military, and civilians took to the streets in support of Erdogan. At least 294 people were killed and more than 1,400 wounded, the government said. On Sunday, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said the coup had failed and life has returned to normal. “Another calamity has been thwarted,” Yildirim said in Ankara after visiting state TRT television, which had been seized by soldiers supporting the coup. “However, our duty is not over. We shall rapidly conduct the cleansing operation so that they cannot again show the audacity of coming against the will of the people.” Yildirim said those involved with the failed coup “will receive every punishment they deserve.” Erdogan suggested that Turkey might reinstate capital punishment, which was legally abolished in 2004 as part of the country’s bid to join the European Union. Even before the weekend chaos in Turkey, the NATO member and key Western ally in the fight against Islamic State had been racked by political turmoil that critics blamed on Erdo- ARIS MESSINIS/GETTY-AFP Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, center, gestures Sunday as he leaves a funeral for victims of Friday’s failed coup attempt, in which at least 294 people were killed. gan’s increasingly heavyhanded rule. He has shaken up the government, cracked down on dissent, restricted the media and renewed fighting with Kurdish rebels. Speaking to a large crowd of supporters in front of his Istanbul residence Sunday evening, Erdogan responded to frequent calls of “We want the death penalty!” by saying: “We hear your request. In a democracy, whatever the people want they will get.” Grief-stricken relatives in Ankara and Istanbul buried those killed in the coup attempt, and prayers for the dead were read simultaneously at noon Sunday at Turkey’s 85,000 mosques. Erdogan attended a funeral for his campaign manager, Erol Olcak, and his 16-yearold son, Abdullah Tayyip Olcak. The president wept and vowed to take the country forward in “unity and solidarity.” Observers said the scale of the crackdown, especially against the judiciary, indicated the government was taking the opportunity to further consolidate Erdogan’s power. “The factions within the military opposed to Erdogan who did this just gave him carte blanche to crack down not only on the military but on the judiciary,” said Aykan Erdemir, a former lawmaker from the main opposition party and now a senior fellow at the U.S.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “The coup plotters couldn’t have helped Erdogan more.” In a half-dozen cities, tens of thousands marched throughout the day after officials urged them to defend democracy and back Erdogan, Turkey’s top politician for 13 years. At nightfall, flag-waving crowds rallied in Istanbul’s Taksim Square, Ankara’s Kizilay Square and elsewhere. This month, parliament approved a controversial bill to reform two Turkish high courts, which allows the government to dismiss hundreds of administrative and high appeals court judges and allow Erdogan to replace them with judges loyal to him. The government alleged the coup conspirators were loyal to moderate U.S.based cleric Fethullah Gulen, whom Erdogan has often accused of trying to overthrow the government. Gulen, who lives in Saylorsburgh, Pa., espouses a philosophy that blends a mystical form of Islam with democracy. He is a former Erdogan ally turned bitter foe who has been put on trial in absentia in Turkey, where the government has labeled his movement a terrorist organization. He strongly denies the government’s charges. At a funeral in Istanbul, Erdogan vowed to “clean all state institutions of the virus” of Gulen’s supporters. He also called on the United States to extradite Gulen. At two weekend news conferences, Gulen strongly denied any role in or knowledge of the coup. Gulen even raised the possibility the coup attempt had been staged, saying it had “all the signs of a movie scenario,” in order to purge the military of Erdogan’s opponents. Pakistani man: Killed sister for ‘honor’ By Asim Tanveer and Zarar Khan Associated Press FAISAL KAREEM/EPA Waseem Azeem says he slipped sedatives to his sister, Pakistani model Qandeel Baloch, and later strangled her. MULTAN, Pakistan — The brother of slain Pakistani model and activist Qandeel Baloch on Sunday confessed to strangling her for “family honor” because she posted “shameful” pictures on Facebook. Baloch, who had become a social media celebrity in recent months, stirred controversy by posting pictures online taken with a prominent Muslim cleric. She was found dead on Saturday at her family home in the central city of Multan. Police arrested her brother, Waseem Azeem, and presented him before the media in Multan, where he confessed to killing her. He said people had taunted him over the photos and that he found the social embarrassment unbearable. “I was determined either to kill myself or kill her,” Azeem said as he was being led away. He said that even though Baloch was the main bread- winner for the family, he slipped her sedatives the night before and then strangled her in her sleep. “Money matters, but family honor is more important,” said Azeem. Nearly 1,000 women are murdered in Pakistan each year for violating conservative norms on love, marriage and public behavior. The so-called honor killings are often carried out by family members. Such killings are considered murder. But Islamic law in Pakistan allows a murder victim’s family to pardon the killer, which often allows those convicted of honor killings to escape punishment. Regional police Chief Sultan Taimuri said authorities will seek the maximum punishment for Azeem, without providing further details. Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, was buried Sunday. In postings and public comments, she presented herself as a symbol of female empowerment. MADE IN THE USA IS A POWERFUL STATEMENT. It’s Also Our Story. MORE AMERICANS CHOOSE WINDOW WORLD.

Central Intelligence (tie) The Infiltrator (tie) $5.3 HOPPER STONE/SONY PICTURES Melissa McCarthy stars in director Paul Feig’s much-scrutinized reboot of “Ghostbusters.” ‘Ghostbusters’ can’t scare away ‘Pets’ After months of pre-release debate, Sony Picture’s female-led “Ghostbusters” reboot arrived in theaters as neither a massive success nor the bomb some predicted, as the much-scrutinized film opened with an estimated $46 million in North American theaters, second to the holdover hit “The Secret Life of Pets.” “The Secret Life of Pets” stayed on top with $50.6 million in its second week, according to studio estimates Sunday. But all eyes were on Paul Feig’s “Ghostbusters,” which resurrects the 1984 original with a cast of Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon. Sony, noting it was the best opening for a live-action comedy in more than a year, called the result “a triumph.” Yet given its hefty price tag — the film cost $144 million to make, after rebates, plus more than $100 million to market — it’s a relatively tepid start for “Ghostbusters” that will put pressure on the film to perform well overseas. And that could be a challenge in some territories that don’t have the same familiarity with the original “Ghostbusters” films. For Sony, the stakes for “Ghostbusters” were extremely high. The film is intended to kick off several future “Ghostbusters” installments. But the film found plenty of detractors. Some fans objected to the gender switch, others complained that the first trailer was subpar and some even fretted that any new incarnation of the comedy classic (one of the biggest box office hits of the 1980s) would tarnish their fragile memories. — Associated Press On a Stannah Stairlift L N W IF EW AR ET RA IM NT E Y GLIDE UPSTAIRS 1.

But when he abandoned the Capitol in a slippery move to get to Washington, voters never forgave the youthful Democrat who just three years earlier won statewide accolades for embodying Minnesota’s strengths on an iconic Time magazine cover. Mr. Anderson, a handsome Olympic silver medalist in hockey, gave up the job he loved in 1976, resigning so that second-in-command Rudy Perpich could become governor and name him to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by newly elected Vice President Walter Mondale. The move was deeply unpopular and voters decisively ousted Mr. Anderson two years later in favor of Republican Rudy Boschwitz. Mr. Anderson, who died Sunday, was never elected again, though friends said he longed to return to public life. Mr. Anderson’s family issued a statement, calling the former governor many things: “A kid from East St. Paul. A Gopher. An Olympian. An elected public servant of the highest order. But above all else he was a Minnesotan. His love for the state and its citizens was second only to his love for his family.” Mr. Anderson reached the summit of Minnesota politics in 1970 when he won the governor’s office at age 37. The next year, he pushed through an overhaul of school aid and taxes that became known as the “Minnesota miracle.” In a special legislative session that stretched more than five months past normal deadlines, Mr. Anderson outmaneuvered the conservative-dominated Legislature by rejecting an alternate tax plan he called “the old way of doing things.” Sympathy Elegant Flowers & Gifts Since 1934 Save 10% Promo Code: BALTSUN R RAIMONDIS FLORIST Raimondisfuneralflowers.com 410-655-7700 The outdoorsy governor familiarly known as “Wendy” landed on the cover of the Aug. 13, 1973, issue of Time, shown hoisting a trophy fish over the headline “The Good Life in Minnesota.” The story inside called Mr. Anderson a “Midwestern Kennedy.” The son of a sausage delivery truck driver, Mr. Anderson was born on Feb. 1, 1933, in St. Paul, where he grew up on the city’s blue-collar East Side. He played hockey at Johnson High School and the University of Minnesota, where he got his law degree while serving in the Legislature. He was an Army infantry officer and won a silver medal as a member of the U.S. hockey team in the 1956 Olympics. He jumped into politics young, winning his first election to the Minnesota House in 1958 when he was 25 and moving up to the state Senate four years later. He headed Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey’s Minnesota presidential campaign in 1968 before running for governor in 1970. Mr. Anderson crushed his Republican opponent, John Johnson, by better than 2-to-1 to win a second term in 1974. Mr. Anderson’s fall began when he resigned as governor on Dec. 26, 1976, to claim Mondale’s Senate seat. But the self-appointment was unpopular from the beginning. He apologized in a TV ad, saying, “Many tell me it was a mistake, and I accept your judgment.” Voters rejected Mr. Anderson by a wide margin in 1978. His friend, former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe, has said Mr. Anderson should be remembered for what he accomplished. “His tenure as governor will go down in the history books as probably the six most productive years in terms of progressive, forward-looking state government,” Moe said. — Associated Press IN MEMORIAM DEATH / LODGE NOTICES Hausman, Wayne Frederick On July 17, 2016, Wayne Frederick Hausman loving son of Kathy A.

Share your Memories or Express Condolences For a Loved One By using the“Guest Book”on-line at: baltimoresun.com/obituaries FROM PAGE ONE MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 | THE BALTIMORE SUN 9 Council to consider boost in minimum wage COUNCIL, From page 1 several yearly bumps approved by state lawmakers two years ago to bring the rate to $10.10 an hour by 2018. David Cooper, an analyst for the liberal Economic Policy Institute, called attempts to predict the cost of the bill “pure speculation” and a “total shot in the dark.” Clarke called the Finance Department’s analysis “worse than hypothetical” with “absolutely no basis.” “They’re creating a dramatic number which is a way for this administration to oppose this legislation without saying so,” she said. Others have expressed concerns. William H. Cole IV, the director of the Baltimore Development Corp., wrote to the council that it “would most likely lead to increased prices for goods and services, reduced employment opportunities and possible relocation or closure of some businesses.” The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development said its YouthWorks summer jobs program, which gave 8,000 city youth work this summer, would need an extra $2.65 million to maintain its size by 2020 if the bill was enacted. The Greater Baltimore Committee, the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore and the Restaurant Association of Maryland all opposed the measure. “Baltimore City doing this in isolation is a significant challenge and would be a competitive disadvantage for the city,” said Donald C. Fry, president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Committee. A spokesman for Rawlings-Blake said she will sign the bill if it passes the council, but she would hope to coordinate increases with officials in neighboring counties. “The mayor knows that any increase has a broader economic impact than on just one jurisdiction and hopes that the conversations around increases are coordinated regionally or even statewide,” spokesman Anthony McCarthy wrote in an email. In Baltimore, opponents say fundamental differences in the workforce compared to those of other cities make the increase problematic. Only about a quarter of city residents 25 years or older have at least a bachelor’s degree. The proportion in San Francisco, Seattle and the District of Columbia is upward of 50 percent. “We have a very unskilled labor force,” said Councilman James B. Kraft, who opposes the bill. “It’s easy to get rid of those people, and easy to change those jobs from full-time jobs to part-time jobs.” The rate of increase in Baltimore would be greater than in other cities. Clarke’s proposal would raise the minimum wage an average of about 18 percent a year. In the District of Columbia, the wage is set to increase about 8 percent annually. In San Francisco, the increase averages 10 percent a year. In Seattle, smaller businesses were allowed to increase their wages at a slower rate than larger ones. “We aren’t even talking apples and oranges here,” Kraft said. Economists on both sides say such a rapid increase is outside the range of what has been studied. “It seems crazy,” said David Neumark, director of the Center for Economics & Public Policy at the University of California, Irvine. “I have no problem calling it reckless.” The hike is dramatic but not unprecedented, Cooper said. Santa Fe, N.M., raised its minimum wage by 65 percent — from $5.15 to $8.50 an hour — in 2004. Cooper said the concerns voiced then were similar to those raised about Baltimore’s bill, but have not materialized in Santa Fe. The unemployment rate there fell by about a percentage point in the three years after the hike, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and per capita income increased slightly during that same time period, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Neumark, a research associate for the National Bureau of Economic Research, said minimum wages are “a very ineffective way of helping the poor.” “I think politicians want to be seen doing something on inequality, and inequality has gotten worse,” Neumark said. “I don’t know that we know how to help cities in very poor circumstances, but the minimum wage is kind of a cop-out.” Cooper said a minimum wage increase isn’t supposed to act as an anti-poverty measure. “Just because this policy is not going to eliminate Baltimore’s poverty problem doesn’t mean it’s not a good thing to do,” he said. Clarke said she set the increase to $15 because it’s close to the amount required to support a working person in Baltimore, and also fits the national Fight for $15 movement. She said the bill’s passage could influence the state to increase the minimum again. But the council is split. Members Jim Kraft, Carl Stokes, Rikki Spector and Helen Holton told The Baltimore Sun they would vote against the bill in its current form. Brandon Scott, Robert Curran and Sharon Green Middleton said they leaned in favor of it without fully backing it. Edward Reisinger said he was skeptical. Eric Costello, Jack Young, Bill Henry and Nick Mosby said they do not have a position. Pete Welch and Warren Branch did not respond to multiple requests for comment via phone and email. The council’s labor subcommittee is scheduled to begin reviewing the bill Tuesday in a work session. Curran, the committee chair, said he expects the bill to pass out of committee with amendments, and hopes for a full council vote by September. Clarke said she is optimistic that the discussion will address “legitimate concerns,” and persuade her colleagues to support the increase. adunn@baltsun.com twitter.com/AndrewE_Dunn 3 cops killed, 3 hurt by gunman in Louisiana SHOOTING, From page 1 The alleged gunman, who was shot and killed during the exchange of gunfire, was later identified as Gavin Long, an AfricanAmerican resident of Kansas City, Mo., who turned 29 on Sunday and, according to relatives, was in Baton Rouge celebrating his birthday. Long served five years in the Marine Corps as a data network specialist, from August 2005 to August 2010. Records released by the Marine Corps on Sunday showed that he deployed once to Iraq. In Kansas City on Sunday police officers, some with guns drawn, converged on a house listed as Long’s. With the circumstances of the shootings unexplained Sunday night, a community already numbed found itself searching for new words to describe its horror and despair. “Stop this killing. Stop this killing. Stop this killing,” said Veda Washington-Abusaleh, the aunt of Alton Sterling, the man killed by Baton Rouge police July 5. “That’s how this all started, with bloodshed. We don’t want no more bloodshed. ... Because at the end of the day, when these people call these families and they tell them that their daddies and their mommies not coming home no more, I know how they feel, because I got the same phone call,” she said, breaking down in tears during an interview Sunday by a TV station. One of the dead officers is Montrell Jackson, 32, an African-American, married and with a baby. Although his name had not yet been released by authorities Sunday evening, multiple sources, including relatives, con- firmed he was among those killed. The father of Matthew Gerald, a white officer, also confirmed Sunday that his 41-year-old married son, the father of two daughters, was another police officer killed. Before joining the Baton Rouge Police Department last year, Gerald served in the Marines and the Army, according to Ryan Cabral, a friend who served with him in Iraq. Jackson’s sister, Jocelyn, was attending church when she learned that her little brother was among the three officers killed. Her pastor had just asked the congregation to send prayers to her family. “I didn’t want to break down in church, but it was just something I couldn’t hold,” said Jackson, 49. “He was a wonderful person. A wonderful person.” A cousin of Long’s, who spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because he feared for his job, said Long was quiet, smart and had recently written a book about his travels around the world. The man said that Long, as far as he knew, had not expressed any particular outrage over the shootings of black men by police. “I can’t see my cousin doing nothing like that,” he said. “Right now, I’m at a loss for words.” Of the shooting, Chris Nassif, president of the Louisiana Union of Police, a statewide association of municipal police departments, said: “It’s just very senseless and tragic. “You’re seeing law enforcement targeted for doing their jobs." Sunday’s gun battle occurred in an area of Baton Rouge known as Tara, about five miles from where Sterling was killed. HILARY SCHEINUK/ASSOCIATED PRESS Baton Rouge Police run from the emergency room ramp as a man unrelated to the police shootings is taken into custody near the entrance of Our Lady Of The Lake Medical Center. Protesters have gathered there nightly. It was a sunny, breezy morning in Baton Rouge when shots were heard around 8:40. Police reported “officers down” at 8:44, according to Edmonson. Minutes later, the alleged gunman was also dead. President Barack Obama on Sunday asked the nation to refrain from “overheated” political discourse on the eve of the Republican and Democratic conventions. “Regardless of race, political party or profession ... everyone right now, focus on words and actions that can unite this country rather than divide it further,” he Governor weighs releasing ‘fenced off’ funds SPENDING, From page 1 operating budget,” said Donald F. Norris, who heads the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. “This is all symbolic stuff, and it’s political.” Hogan let the July 1 start of the fiscal year pass without announcing a decision. Before this year’s legislative session, the governor vowed not to spend fenced-off money, but the committees that craft the budget tried to make it difficult for him to carry out that threat. The money for aging schools is not spending Hogan opposes. In fact, he allocated that $6.1 million as part of his capital budget. But a Senate committee moved the money to the operating budget, paying for it with some of the $80 million it trimmed from Hogan’s proposed payment to the state’s Rainy Day Fund. The $1 billion fund, set aside as a hedge against budget reverses, is still large enough to maintain the state’s AAA bond rating, but Hogan wanted to add more. To prevent the governor from cherrypicking programs, the senators made it an all-or-nothing proposition. The House of Delegates agreed. Now Hogan may choose to spend all $80 million or none of it. To complicate the governor’s decision, the lawmakers put in that basket a mixture of his favored programs and their own. If he says no, Hogan would deny funding for several of his priorities, including aging schools, a statewide public safety communications system and demolition of part of the Baltimore City Detention Center that Hogan closed. To free the money, Hogan would have to allow spending on legislative priorities such as helping local school systems with the cost of employee pensions and improving compensation rates for physicians in the Medicaid program. The Assembly also fenced off $46 million for programs including rental housing, neighborhood revitalization and drinking Spending in limbo This is some of the money in the $80 million the legislature has fenced off: HOGAN PRIORITIES ■ $15 million for repair of state-owned buildings. ■ $9.2 million to build a Public Safety Communication System to let police, fire departments across the state communicate better in emergencies. ■ $6.5 million to demolish buildings Hogan closed at the Baltimore City Detention Center. ■ $6 million for farmers — a key Hogan constituency — to plant cover crops to prevent nutrient runoff into the Chesapeake Bay. ASSEMBLY PRIORITIES ■ $19 million to help most of the state’s local school systems with the cost of employee pensions. ■ $14 million to increase the rate of reimbursement for physicians under Medicaid to 96 percent of the rate paid under Medicare. ■ $1 million for the Baltimore Health Department’s Safe Streets program, which attempts to defuse disputes before they lead to violence. ■ $550,000 for lead remediation in the homes of children treated under Medicaid. water projects. And there’s another $36 million the legislature cut from Hogan initiatives and directed to other purposes. But none of that money is “all or nothing.” Hogan could fund some programs while declining others. The Aging Schools Program is an example of why Hogan’s decisions could be difficult. The program pays for middle-range improvements — usually costing $10,000 to $300,000 — that likely would have to be deferred if local school systems had to pay for them on their own. For Baltimore — because of its high proportion of old schools — the program if fully funded would bring in almost $1.4 million over the next year, making it the state’s largest recipient of such funds. Baltimore County, which also has many older schools, would receive about $875,000, putting it third in the state. In Baltimore County, the delayed decision is complicating school officials’ plans for projects similar to the one at Prettyboy. The program helps pay for projects that fall between routine maintenance and major renovations. “It fills a niche that is so critical for aging infrastructure, and we would really be at a loss if we don’t get those funds,” said Pete Dixit, executive director of physical facilities for the county school system. The association of local schools boards wrote the governor in April urging him to release money for the program. John R. Woolums, government affairs director of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education, said local school systems feel caught in the middle. “We’ve never had the Aging Schools Program in jeopardy before,” he said. “It has been a painful pill to swallow.” But Woolums said school systems are also sweating the $19 million the legislature wants to offset pension costs. “Nineteen million would have gone a long way to easing that burden as well,” Woolums said. “It would mean a lot to us for the governor to un-fence that funding.” said. “We need to temper our words and open our hearts — all of us.” Black activists also expressed outrage at the Baton Rouge police deaths. “We’re all grieving. We’re still grieving the loss of Alton Sterling. We don’t value any life more than any other life," said Ada Goodly, an attorney and activist with the National Lawyers Guild in Baton Rouge, who had been involved in the recent protests. The Associated Press contributed to this article. Gene Ransom, chief executive of the state medical society, said physicians are waiting nervously to learn whether they will get $14 million in higher compensation for Medicaid care. He said increased pay is critical to keeping doctors in the program to treat low-income Marylanders. If doctors drop out, he said, “more and more folks will end up in the emergency room and in the end we’ll pay more for that care.” Clark said that while the governor has yet to make up his mind, he opposes the legislature’s tactics. “Taking money from the Rainy Day Fund is a bad idea. It’s short-sighted,” Clark said. “This all-or-nothing approach for the $80 million is little more than political maneuvering and not sound fiscal policy.” Sen. Richard S. Madaleno Jr., a Montgomery County Democrat, said the majority party adopted its strategy because of the governor’s “my way or the highway” approach to the budget. “He is unwilling to actually negotiate, so we had to use this mechanism to make sure these important projects and programs move forward,” said Madaleno, vice chairman of the Senate’s budget committee. Norris said the logical resolution in divided government would be to spend at least the $80 million. “They give him what he wants, he gives them what they want out of the governor. It’s called compromise,” he said. But if Hogan refuses to spend the money, his political base will still be happy, Norris said. “He will just annoy the heck out of the leadership of the General Assembly,” he said. Norris added, “They’ll probably take it out on him later.” Or they could do so sooner. Hogan has a $20 million request pending before a legislative committee to award Sunny Day Fund money to Northrop Grumman Corp. A meeting to consider that request had been set for Thursday but has been postponed by legislative leaders. mdresser@baltsun.com 10 THE BALTIMORE SUN | NEWS | MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 READERS RESPOND Political priorities over criminal justice reform Your latest article highlighting the necessity to renovate the Baltimore City Circuit Courts (“Baltimore Circuit Court considers private partnership for long-desired new facilities,” July 14) was both timely and eye-opening. As both a political activist involved in the fight for upgrading these dilapidated buildings for years, as well as a state employee subject to these deplorable conditions on a daily basis; I find it appalling that the current Rawlings-Blake administration would make an arena, convention center and soccer complex a greater priority than upgrading the age-old facilities that house their elected colleagues, hundreds of employees and thousands of city residents who are forced to have to endure such horrendous conditions. If we are serious about reforming our criminal justice system, we must begin by making sure that judges are no longer subject to having to ride the same elevator as the convicted felons they just sentenced, and that citizens performing their civic duty as jurors aren’t subject to the same dire conditions as prisoners in a third-world country. We must get serious about reform by providing the necessary resources to upgrade an antiquated computer system that looks to have been around since the Reagan administration, which has city judges still issuing prison orders by way of carbon copy paper instead of the 21stcentury systems used by surrounding jurisdictions. It’s time we stop with the political double-talk and the double-edged sword of inefficient government, due to misguided priorities that always seem to put the desires of a few ahead of the needs of the masses. Hassan Giordano, Baltimore Stand up for racial justice In light of the deaths in Baltimore of Freddie Gray and Tyrone West and others as well as Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner and most recently of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, it is beyond time to say enough is enough (“Race and police shootings,” July 9). Outrage, anger, sadness, despair — the emotional responses can be overwhelming. For those of us who are white, we can easily choose to not pay attention, to brush the news reports and our feelings aside and get on with our day. But then we must be willing to live with the consequences. How many deaths does it take? How many lives lost, whether at the hands of police or from community or domestic violence, before we wake up and take a stand? Our lack of action perpetuates white privilege and white supremacy in our country. If we do not act against it, we are complicit in it. So what can we do? First of all, wake up and notice the differences in the ways that white people and people of color are treated in our society. Believe people of color when they talk about discrimination and racism they have encountered. Be brave and have the sometimes difficult conversations with other white people — your friends, your family, your co-workers, your neighbors — to raise awareness and find ways to act together to bring about change. Educate yourself — local groups like Baltimore Racial Justice Action and Baltimore’s chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice are great resources for learning more and connecting with like-minded people. Demand that our local officials do more to end police brutality. Baltimore’s recently updated use of force policy is a start. “Building From the Ground Up: A Toolkit for Promoting Justice in Policing,” compiled by the Center for Popular Democracy and Policy Link has even more steps our city can take. Locally, we can follow and support groups like Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle who are advocating and organizing for police reform. What we stand to gain is a strong, vibrant community where we’re all better off because we’ve broken free of a society that has wasted far too much time, money, resources and energy holding people down. Gretchen Tome, Baltimore A terrible loss in Roland Park Molly Macauley’s shocking death is so sad and frightening (“Police seek clues in fatal stabbing,” July 12). I did not know her, and yet I feel a great sense of loss. She was an incredible and highly educated individual and an avid environmentalist. There was so much more for her to add to all our lives. Walking her two dogs in her secure Roland Park neighborhood was probably a nightly activity that most of us take for granted during our cool Baltimore summer evenings. This is a terrifying wake-up call for people like me who assume that we are safe in our own neighborhoods and have some measure of security when with our dogs. I walk my dog usually around 10 p.m. and live in a gated community but the gatehouse is unattended. Molly’s death feels very personal to me.

Leslie Goldman, Pikesville ,')!-'+$ %*"&#( EDITORIALS Still a menace Our view: It’s past time Baltimore cracked down on illegal dirt bikes B altimore is famous — or infamous — for the dirt bike riders who roar through its streets running red lights while performing high-flying wheelies and other death-defying stunts. But what has long been tolerated as a colorful, if illicit, aspect of local outlaw culture more recently has taken a darker turn. Besides terrorizing pedestrians and other drivers, riders are killing and injuring themselves as well as passersby with their scofflaw antics, and gun crimes associated with the bikes are rising too. Dirt bikes are no longer just a noisy inconvenience and nuisance in traffic but an increasingly serious public safety threat as well. That’s why police Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis announced the creation of a specialized task force last week charged with investigating crimes involving the illegal bikes. Mr. Davis called the riders “gun-toting criminals who travel throughout the city recklessly, lawlessly and with impunity.” That a mouthful that might have sounded needlessly alarmist a few years ago. But today it’s a view that’s widely shared among law-enforcement officials and a public fed up with young riders notorious for thumbing their noses at the law. In just the last few weeks there have been a string of serious incidents involving collisions between dirt bikes and pedestrians or other vehicles. One rider was badly injured when he crashed head first through the windshield of a parked car. A pedestrian struck by a careening biker while crossing the street was likewise nearly killed. And in several cases accidents have led to violence or the threat of it. A military veteran who accidentally hit an ATV was later pulled from his car and beaten by the rider’s companions; a female driver involved in a minor fender bender with a bike was threatened at gunpoint by its owner. None of those incidents squared with the oft-heard claim that dirt bikes are mostly just harmless fun. Until now, most of the conversation about dirt bikes has focused on their recreational appeal. At one point city officials even considered the idea of building a dedicated park where riders could show off their prowess without endangering the public. For a variety of reasons that was never a practical alternative. For instance, how would riders transport their bikes to the facility if they couldn’t legally drive there on the streets? Moreover, half of biking’s appeal lies in its scofflaw ethic; would riders give that up even if they had such a facility? All those question have been superseded, however, by a growing element of criminality in the bikers’ ranks. In recent weeks homicide detectives have investigated two separate incidents in which riders were fatally shot while sitting on their bikes. There have also been a number of hit-and-run encounters in which riders have fled the scene of accidents. Last week, police displayed several illegal bikes seized from riders or from the KENNETH K. LAM/BALTIMORE SUN A dirt bike rider crashed with a Baltimore police cruiser in December. occupants of the so-called “trail cars” that accompany them on the streets to photograph their stunts. They also showed a video of a young rider carefully wiping the shell cases of bullets before loading them into his gun so police couldn’t recover his fingerprints as evidence. Police say they can only speculate as to the reasons why riders appear to be arming themselves. What they do know, however, is that the guns are illegal and that they potentially pose a threat to anyone who encounters their owners, including police officers. Getting those illegal guns of the streets will be as high or higher a priority for the new task force as seizing any illegal bikes they find. For two years running, police officials have promised to crack down on illegal dirt bikers and their riders and wound up without much to show for their efforts. What’s different this year is that the department has established a dedicated unit of four officers to tackle the problem in close cooperation with prosecutors from the city state’s attorney’s office. The team will focus on gathering intelligence about where illegal bikes are being sold, stored, gassed up, repaired and ridden. It’s almost impossible to believe the department hasn’t launched such a coordinated effort until now, but better late than never. One thing that won’t change is the department’s long-standing policy of not chasing dirt bikes through the streets when police encounter them. Officials say that puts innocent bystanders and other drivers at far too great a risk of serious injury or death. But it’s clear the police can’t just keep doing the same things they’ve done in the past and expect a different result. The department owes it to the community to get it right this time. The Trump-Pence platform Our view: Republicans are not only steering their party to the Midwest, they’re turning back the clock as well D onald Trump’s decision to name Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate Friday after a week of visiting candidates and their loved ones (like those late-season hometown episodes of “The Bachelor”) triggered the usual kind of instant analysis vice presidential picks get. One could hear the collective sigh of relief from Republican leadership on Capitol Hill as far away as the Inner Harbor — Governor Pence is one of them. Hurrah for them. But for all the attention paid to the No. 2 post — and let’s face it, with such strong personalities on the top of the ticket this year, Democratic and Republican, that selection has probably never been less relevant to the general public — easily lost is another major decision. It may not have received nearly as much attention as the veep stakes, but the GOP has been crafting a party platform in advance of their national convention this week in Cleveland, and it’s a doozy. It’s one thing for Mr. Trump to choose a fellow middle-aged white male (albeit a blander, less vulgar version than himself ) for his ticket, it’s another to accept a platform that appears just as lifted out of the “Mad Men” era. The authors clearly haven’t witnessed any social change of the last decade or more they wouldn’t want reversed. So much for that 2012 post-Mitt Romney view that the Republican Party needs to broaden its base and appeal to minority and non-traditional voters. How anti-21st-century is it? The platform would reverse the 2012 Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, encourage Bible instruction in public schools, bar women from serving in combat roles, view pornography as a public health “crisis,” support state laws to restrict transgender bathroom rights and repeal all taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood no matter to what purpose that money would be used. LGBT groups have already correctly identified the party platform as the most hostile toward their cause of any in the party’s 162-year history. It’s as if the committee of delegates that crafted the document were so distrustful of their presidential candidate on social issues (perhaps because he once tweeted his Talk to us The Baltimore Sun welcomes comments from readers on subjects of local and national relevance by email, by Twitter or on our Web site, baltimoresun.com.

Some of the platform changes from years past are obvious efforts to align the GOP with Mr. Trump’s peculiar world view. There is a call for an actual “wall” covering the entirety of the nation’s southern border, and it uses the same kind of anti-trade language that the candidate espouses calling for agreements that “put America first.” Such a wholesale rejection of the party’s historical support for free trade may not be shocking, but it’s still troubling to see the same “America first” slogan intended to keep the United States out of World War II in 1940 promoting isolationism in 2016. The party platform also offers up a wholesale rejection of climate change science, going so far as to recommend “clean” coal, as if such a thing actually existed and the world wasn’t currently facing a worsening environmental crisis from excess carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While carbon capture is theoretically possible (essentially storing carbon dioxide generated by burning coal underground and thus making it “clean”), it certainly hasn’t been proven economically viable. And, of course, if one rejects climate change science, why bother protecting the planet from rising sea levels and other ill effects of global warming at all? No Republican candidate for public office, including Mr. Trump, is bound by the platform, of course, but it’s regarded as an important insight to the party’s core beliefs. If so, the party’s core is stranded somewhere in the 1950s when it was the norm to deny rights to gays and lesbians, and “conversion therapy” was considered the best response to such inclinations (yes, the platform actually supports conversion therapy). Missing is any evidence that the GOP is interested in broadening its appeal to women, Hispanics or blacks, the groups that Mr. Romney failed to attract in sufficient numbers four years ago.

Seidl Editorial Page Editor Tim Thomas Senior Vice President / Business Development COMMENTARY MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 | Musical pathways to success By Fred Bronstein O ver the past year, there has been much public attention focused on the unmet needs and lack of options for Baltimore’s youth, and rightly so. It’s a huge and critical challenge. The simple fact is that the systemic issues that have marginalized so many of our city’s young people require many different kinds of solutions. As our city and community look to find and craft those solutions, the impact of music programs demonstrates the difference that music and the arts can make in the lives of young people. Take for example the case of 14-year-old Nyshae Cheatham, who boarded a Grand Rapids-bound flight at BWI this past weekend with her saxophone, dreams of a life in music and the support of an entire network of arts education programs serving Baltimore youth. She is one of over a dozen students from Baltimore City whose hard work, talent and dedication have earned them scholarships to attend Summer Arts Camp at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, far from her West Baltimore home. Nyshae’s path to Interlochen began in a Baltimore City Public Schools music program, then on to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s OrchKids, followed by entrance into the Peabody Preparatory’s Tuned-In program, which provides gifted young students who would not otherwise have the means with tuition-free opportunities to study an instrument. This fall she will enroll at the Baltimore School for the Arts. These and other complementary programs together comprise a pipeline of arts education in Baltimore that is creating a musical pathway for city schoolkids — in some cases leading to college and professional careers that they otherwise could only have imagined. The combined success of these and other programs can be counted in the individual stories of students like Nyshae and like Brandon Woody, a trumpeter who grew up in East Baltimore and is one of only five jazz students recently selected as a fellow at the Dave Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific. And like Osi Atikpoh, the child of Nigerian immigrants, a current Baltimore Scholar at the Peabody Conservatory, a BSA and Tuned-In alumnus and current teacher for OrchKids and Tuned-In. Success can also be counted in numbers. OrchKids and Tuned-In had more students accepted by Interlochen this summer — 13 — than any other comparable programs in the country. And seven Tuned-In/OrchKids students were recently awarded positions with the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s National Take-a-Stand Festival, receiving full tuition scholarships to partic- JAMIE MCCARTHY/GETTY IMAGES ipate in summer music camps at the Longy School of Music of Bard College and the Aspen Music Festival. The academic results are equally impressive. OrchKids participants are recording more regular attendance and better grades and test scores than Baltimore City Public Schools students’ average. And all of the Peabody Tuned-In students from the program’s first two graduating classes matriculated to college, far exceeding the 44 percent citywide average. Colleges of choice included Oberlin, Wellesley, the Peabody Conservatory, SUNY Purchase, the University of Maryland, the New England Conservatory, Towson University and more, with many of the students pursuing music studies. The simple fact is that music and the arts provide opportunity, focus, direction, a sense of purpose and the chance to develop a lifelong passion. It’s a matter of access, and while we can’t change it for the world, we can change it right here in Baltimore. Collectively we can provide that opportunity, that purpose, that chance to fall in love with music in a way that will be a life-changing experience and provide a path to a positive, meaningful future. Just ask Nyshae, Brandon and Osi. Fred Bronstein is the dean of the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University. His e-mail is fred.bronstein@jhu.edu. MIKE WINDLE/GETTY IMAGES FOR GQ MAGAZINE Vogue editor Anna Wintour, left, changed places with comic Amy Schumer, right, for a day to as part of a feature in the magazine’s July issue. Changing places Putting ourselves in other people’s shoes fosters empathy, understanding and humanity By Lynne Agress W hen Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue, decided to do a feature on comic Amy Schumer for the July issue of the magazine, she came up with a novel idea: Each woman would change places for 24 hours. For English-born, urbane and sophisticated Ms. Wintour, that meant she had to “get up late, eat a bagel, walk around the park ... work a comedy club, go home and have sex with her boyfriend.” (Wintour claims that the only thing she did not do was have “sex with a boyfriend.”) Ms. Schumer, on the other hand, got up early and went to Ms. Wintour’s office at Vogue, where she directed the fashion and accessories editors to change all clothes for an upcoming photo shoot — aiming for comfort as opposed to style. Needless to say, a strange tableau emerged. British writer/professor David Lodge has written several amusing and bestselling novels on the academic exchange between British English professor “Philip Swallow” (a thinly disguised version of Mr. Lodge) and an American English professor “Morris Zapp” (who many — including the character Morris Zapp — say was based on former Hopkins professor Stanley Fish). The differences between their heritage, their ideas and their lifestyles are often hysterically funny. The first novel in the series is called “Changing Places.” One of the many reasons we read novels is to expose ourselves to others’ lives. Unfortunately, many still think that most people are like them and their friends. For others, the grass is always greener; however, getting closer to different people often proves the opposite. Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel recently died at 87. His acclaimed memoir “Night,” which is often hard to read for the atrocities described, but necessary to understand man’s inhumanity to man, has become part of the curriculum in many high schools and colleges. Knowing people whose lives are different from ours, develops empathy, a trait sorely lacking in many people today. For example, how much more footage do we need to see on TV of uprooted men, women and children — people starving for food and water — fleeing from violent countries, yet with no other place to go, before we feel something for them? Why would we, as a democratic country started by immigrants and strengthened by immigrants, want to prohibit new immigrants from entering? A s for the terrorism argument — think Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols (Oklahoma bombers), Eric Rudolph (1996 Olympic games in Atlanta), unibomber Ted Kaczynski, Adam Lanza (Connecticut schoolchildren shooter) not to mention those who killed innocent abortion physicians — and the list goes on. All were Americans; all were murderers. Often, however, it is not so much ethnicity, religion or race that divides us but socio-economic class. Some 60 to 70 years ago, the middle-and upper-middle classes left the so-called crowded, crimeridden cities for the suburbs. Then, DOONESBURY BY GARRY TRUDEAU approximately 30 to 40 years later, their children grown, those who could afford to, moved back to the cities to enjoy the proximity of culture and entertainment. The younger, more affluent men and women — that is, the young professionals began moving into so-called poorer city areas, “gentrifying” those areas, while forcing many long-time poorer resident to move — often to projects, to Section 8 housing, isolating them even more. Actress, playwright, NYU professor and National Humanities Medal awardee Anna Deavere Smith, originally from Baltimore, has come up with one way to solve the “us versus them” dilemma. In her one-woman show, “Notes From The Field,” she plays multiple parts in order to examine the chasm between the rich and the poor. At the end of some performances, Ms. Smith invites members of the audience to fill out pledge cards offering to walk a child to school, to volunteer for a social service organization or to donate money to related research projects. Whereas not everyone is able to physically change places with someone who is different from him or her, we should try to be able to imaginatively change places, to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes, so to speak, which can serve to make us better people, a better nation.

NEWS | THE BALTIMORE SUN 11 City Council should oversee police disciplinary board composition By David A. Plymyer D uring this past legislative session, the Maryland General Assembly made changes to the Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights that will allow civilians to sit on police department hearing boards starting Oct. 1. What lawmakers didn’t do, however, was remove the composition of trial boards from the collective bargaining process. So now, the Baltimore Police Department union is reportedly refusing to sign new collective bargaining agreements with the city to replace those that expired June 30 at least in part because members of the union don’t want civilians involved, despite the fact that citizen participation could improve transparency and community relations with officers — something the BPD sorely needs. And so, negotiations continue, along with a lot of hand-wringing. But there may be another option no one is talking about: It appears the City Council has the power to end the practice of submitting the composition of hearing boards to collective bargaining and therefore free officials from having to go hat in hand to Lodge No. 3 of the Fraternal Order of Police. State law does not require the composition to be submitted to collective bargaining, providing only that it “may” be negotiated. The use of the word “may” rather than “shall” makes clear that the decision to negotiate the method of forming a board rests with the city. And the council has the power under the city charter to place reasonable limits on the scope of collective bargaining. There already is an ordinance enacted pursuant to that power reserving to the city the “exclusive right” to “suspend, demote, discharge, or take any other appropriate disciplinary action against its employees for just cause and in accordance with the provisions relating to Civil Service of [the city] Charter and other applicable laws.” The “exclusive rights” of management should be expanded to include the right to decide upon the method of forming a hearing board under the LEOBR. When the LEOBR was enacted in 1972 it revolutionized police discipline by taking away the authority of police chiefs to initiate disciplinary action against their officers and turning it over to hearing boards consisting of other officers appointed by the police chief. The FOP eventually persuaded the General Assembly to allow cities and counties to negotiate “alternative” methods of selection intended to dilute the authority of chiefs over the selection of members. Alternative methods were negotiated by the city and Lodge No. 3 that did as intended, and the quality of the boards and their decisions deteriorated accordingly. In the “Strategic Plan for Improvement” issued by the BPD in November 2013 the department observed that, although recent improvements had been made, BPD hearing boards had “a bias toward inappropriately lenient verdicts and inappropriate ‘not guilty’ rulings. These biases occurred largely because officers of similar rank to the accused worried that they would endanger themselves if they were to render a strong verdict should they themselves be accused of similar offenses.” Civilian members would not have the same concerns and therefore may not have the same biases. Civilian membership on hearing boards is not a panacea but is something that a great number of citizens believe is necessary to restore trust in the police disciplinary process. Those citizens have the right to have the issue of citizen membership decided in the legislative arena where they can be heard rather than through a collective bargaining process from which they are excluded. The City Council is going to have to step to the plate and take back decisionmaking authority that it never should have surrendered. David A. Plymyer retired as Anne Arundel County attorney in 2014 and also served for five years as an assistant state’s attorney for Anne Arundel County. His email is dplymyer@comcast.net.

They didn’t have to hunt long before they found it. On May 18, a team working at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Maryland had its first look at a sample of the bacterium Escherichia coli, taken from a 49-year-old woman in Pennsylvania. She had a urinary tract infection with a disconcerting knack for surviving the assaults of antibiotic medications. Her sample was one of six from across the country delivered to the lab of microbiologist Patrick McGann. Within hours, a preliminary analysis deepened concern at the lab. Over the next several days, more sophisticated genetic sleuthing confirmed McGann’s worst fears. There, in the bacterium’s DNA, was a gene dubbed mcr-1. Its presence made the pathogen impervious to the venerable antibiotic colistin. More ominously, the gene’s presence on a plasmid — a tiny mobile loop of DNA that can be readily snapped off and attached to other bacteria — suggested that it could readily jump to other E. coli bacteria or to entirely different forms of disease-causing organisms. That would make them impervious to colistin as well. It was a milestone public health officials have been fearing for years. In a steady march, diseasecausing microbes have evolved ways to evade the bulwark of medications used to treat bacterial infections. For a variety of those illnesses, only colistin continued to work every time. Now, this last line of defense had been breached as well. A second U.S. case of E. coli with the mcr-1 resistance gene was reported this month in the journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. Researchers are still working to determine whether it, or any of 18 other samples from around the world, contained the gene on an easy-to-spread plasmid. The golden age of antibiotics appears to be coming to an end, its demise hastened by a combination of medical, social and economic factors. For decades, these drugs made it easy for doctors to treat FOTOLIA The gene was discovered in a Pennsylvania woman’s infection. A second U.S. case has been reported. infections and injuries. Now, common ailments are regaining the power to kill. Harvard University infectious disease epidemiologist William Hanage cautioned that “we will not be flying back into the Dark Ages” overnight. Hospitals are improving their infection control, and public health experts are getting better at tracking new threats. But in a race against nature, he said, the humans are losing ground. “We’re seeing more drug-resistant infections,” Hanage said. “And people will die.” In 1928, British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered that an errant penicillin mold growing in one of his petri dishes had the power to kill staphylococcus, a type of bacteria that causes pneumonia, skin infections and food poisoning. It took scientists, industrialists and the pressures of a world war to convert the mold into a mass-produced medicine, which was ready in time for troops to pack on D-Day. More than 100 antibiotic compounds have been introduced since. But almost as soon as they were given to patients, scientists began finding evidence that disease-causing bacteria were developing resistance to these new wonder drugs. Bacteria meet, mate, compete and evolve inside living bodies. When an antibiotic is added to the mix, only the strongest survive. Humans have accelerated this natural process by indiscriminately prescribing antibiotics and by routinely feeding the drugs to livestock, scientists say. Multiply the number of humans and animals taking these drugs and you multiply the opportunities for antibiotic-resistant strains to emerge. Until very recently, few made the connection between antibiotic use in individual cases and the emergence of antibiotic resistance, said Dr. Susan Bleasdale, an infection-control expert at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Patients with earaches, sinus pressure and sore throats demanded antibiotics, and physicians tended to oblige. The results have been deadly. Each year, more than 2 million people in the U.S. are infected with a bacterium that has become resistant to one or more antibiotic medications designed to kill it, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At least 23,000 people die as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant infections, and many more die from other conditions that were complicated by an antibiotic-resistant infection, the agency says. As medicines such as tetracycline, erythromycin and vancomycin lost much of their effectiveness, colistin continued to overwhelm trouble-making bacteria such as salmonella, Klebsiella and E. coli. Colistin is toxic to the human kidney, and doctors largely stopped using it in the 1970s when safer medications became available. But now that so many antibiotics have lost their ability to vanquish E. coli and other bacterial invaders, colistin has become the only hope for some desperate patients. The slow, steady march of antibiotic resistance doesn’t cause people to bleed to death in the streets, the way the Ebola virus does. It doesn’t cause heart-rending birth defects, as the Zika virus does. And it rarely makes headlines. A survey released in June by the Infectious Diseases Society of America found that only 30 percent of Americans believe that antibiotic resistance is a significant problem for public health. Yet, officials at the World Health Organization warn that gonorrhea “may soon become untreatable” because of growing resistance to the antibiotic ceftriaxone, a member of the cephalosporin class. The WHO also notes that extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis is now circulating in 100 countries and that worldwide resistance to carbapenem antibiotics has weakened physicians’ last line of attack against life-threatening intestinal enterobacteriaceae infections. “It’s a slow catastrophe,” said Army Col. Emil Lesho, director of the Defense Department’s Multidrug-resistant Organism Repository and Surveillance Network. The problem goes beyond treating infections. As bacterial resistance grows, Lesho said, “we’re all at risk of losing our access” to medical miracles we’ve come to take for granted: elective surgeries, joint replacements, organ transplants, cancer chemotherapies. These treatments give bacteria an opportunity to hitch a ride on a catheter or an unwashed hand and invade an already vulnerable patient. The struggle to sustain the effectiveness of antibiotics is a never-ending arms race. If human- kind were regularly finding new anti-microbial agents and turning them into medicines, there might be less cause for worry. But researchers haven’t identified a new class of antibiotic medication since 1987. As a result, while bacteria have continuously evolved new ways to thwart antibiotics, the medicines have not gained new mechanisms to fight back. The economics of drug development are partly to blame. To offset the millions of dollars they pour into research, clinical trials and the Food and Drug Administration approval process, pharmaceutical companies aim to develop blockbuster drugs, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases. An ideal candidate would be used by millions of people every day for the rest of their lives, like pills to keep cholesterol in check. Antibiotics won’t pay the freight. They should be prescribed sparingly and only used for about a week. They could be rendered obsolete at any time by resistance genes. Worst of all, they compete in a field of inexpensive generics. Without government policies that encourage investment in the antibiotics, “there’s very little incentive” for companies to do it themselves, Fauci said. Other approaches can help. Under Fauci, the NIAID is funding the development of tests that would speed the diagnosis of infections and prompt more careful use of antibiotics by physicians and hospitals. New vaccines to prevent bacterial infections are under study, and existing vaccines could be more widely used. The use of bacteriakilling viruses — an approach called phage therapy that revives an idea largely abandoned in the 1930s — is getting a second look. The Pennsylvania patient whose infection was impervious to colistin was able to beat back the bacteria in her urinary tract with the help of other antibiotics. Others have not been so lucky. Hospital patients infected by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are twice as likely to die as those infected by the nonresistant strains of the same bacteria, studies show. Experts say it’s just a matter of time before other disease-causing bacteria pick up the fateful mcr-1 gene. Since its discovery was first reported in China in November 2015, it has spread to human, animal, food and environmental bacteria on every continent. “It’s not apocalyptic until it is,” said Peter Pitts, president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest and former associate commissioner of the FDA. “Shame on us if we wait till bodies are in the street.” melissa.healy@latimes.com 14 THE BALTIMORE SUN | SPORTS | MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 NATION & WORLD eNEWSPAPER BONUS 4 charged in escape of Florida murder suspect By Mike Clary and Tonya Alanez Sun-Sentinel AP Ahead of Monday’s meeting, grandmothers in Durban, South Africa, Saturday demand more government support as caregivers for children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. AIDS conference shows S. Africa’s dramatic turn By Cara Anna Associated Press JOHANNESBURG — The first time the world went to South Africa for a conference on AIDS, the country’s leader shocked attendees by questioning whether HIV really caused the disease. Then-President Thabo Mbeki walked out of the room as an 11-year-old boy with AIDS addressed the crowd in response, pleading for treatment and understanding in a region where the epidemic was taking its harshest toll. “Don’t be afraid of us. We are all the same,” Nkosi Johnson said. He died the next year. South Africa’s official attitude to AIDS at that meeting in 2000 and for several years afterward set back the country so badly that more than 330,000 people died because the government withheld HIV drugs, a Harvard study found. On Monday, the return of hundreds of AIDS researchers and activists to Durban will highlight how radically the country’s outlook has changed. South Africa now is a global proving ground for treatment and prevention, including a study of an experimental HIV vaccine set to begin later this year. Today, the country says its HIV drug treatment program is the largest in the world. Life expectancy, which sank as the epidemic grew, rebounded from 57.1 years in 2009 to 62.9 years in 2014. And President Jacob Zuma has publicly tested for HIV to push back against stigma. But South Africa still leads the world in infections, with 6.8 million people living with HIV. Only half receive treatment. “The government is trying (its) best,” said Charity Mathe, who lives with dozens of mothers and children affected by HIV at Nkosi’s Haven, a Johannesburg-based project named for the boy who challenged the president in 2000.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Four people have been arrested and charged with helping a murder suspect pull off a daring escape from a Florida courthouse Friday in a wellplanned operation that included a fake police uniform and twins acting as accomplices, authorities said. But Dayonte Resiles, the 21-year-old accused of stabbing a woman to death, remained on the loose Sunday. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said Resiles’ 18-year-old girlfriend, LaQuay Stern, parked her silver BMW under a bridge next to the Broward County Courthouse on Friday, where she waited with Winston Russell, 22. Meanwhile, two 17-yearold twin brothers went into the courtroom where Resiles was awaiting a hearing on whether he would face the death penalty in his upcoming trial on charges that he murdered Jill Halliburton Su, a member of the Halliburton business family, during a home invasion robbery almost two years ago. As Resiles slipped out of his handcuffs and ankle shackles and broke for the door, Israel says at least one of the twins coughed into a cellphone to signal Stern and Russell that he was on his way. Resiles, while in the hallway, shed his jail jumpsuit, fled out a courthouse door and into Stern’s car, Israel said. There, Russell gave him clothes and kept for himself in a bag a generic police uniform, Israel said. The uniform’s purpose is unknown, Israel said.

Rewards totaling $20,000 are being offered for his capture. “The fact that Resiles remains at Resiles large tells me there are more people aiding and abetting him in his escape,” Israel said during a news conference. He said that the manhunt for the suspected killer was being hampered by people in the community who have failed to cooperate with authorities. In custody are Stern of Palm Bay; Russell, of Sunrise; and twin brothers from West Palm Beach. Stern and Russell were taken into custody late Saturday in Deerfield Beach, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office. The brothers were arrested in West Palm Beach. According to arrest documents, the escape was planned during several phone calls and visits Resiles had with Stern and Russell. The documents say Stern and Russell confessed and laid out the plan to investigators. Stern and Russell are charged with escape and NEWS BRIEFING In quest for cure, Biden visits cancer center in Australia praised the scientists for their efforts. “We all have reasons to be in this fight,” he said. “What you’re doing here is profound.

Milwaukee cops: Suspect wounds officer then kills self MILWAUKEE — A domestic violence suspect opened fire on a Milwaukee police officer who was sitting in his squad car early Sunday, seriously wounding him before fleeing and apparently killing himself shortly afterward, authorities said. The suspect, a 20-yearold man from the suburb of West Allis, had two felonies on his arrest record, according to police spokesman Sgt. Tim Gauerke, who did not disclose the man’s name. The 31-year-old officer, identified by authorities as Brandon Baranowski, was taken to a hospital with serious wounds that weren’t considered lifethreatening, he said. Baranowski, a 13-year Police Department veteran, was wearing body armor that protected him from the shots to his chest, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said. Rapper’s anti-gang summit in L.A. draws overflow crowd LOS ANGELES — Rapper The Game said he was moved to call together gang members for an antiviolence summit Sunday after the recent killing of his foster brother in Los Angeles. An overflow crowd of several hundred gathered at a community center in South Los Angeles to hear pleas for peace from current and former gang members, entertainers, activists and preachers from the Nation Of Islam. Mayor Eric Garcetti and police Chief Charlie Beck shook hands with The Game outside the venue in a show of unity. Beck said the meeting was a “great first step” in the right direction toward curbing violence, especially considering the police shootings Sunday morning in Baton Rouge, La. The Game announced the summit word last week on social media.

The twins were in the custody of juvenile authorities in Palm Beach County, Israel said. Israel said that while there is no indication Resiles received help from a guard or other law enforcement agent, an internal affairs investigation has been opened. He said one area of focus will be on how Resiles was able to shed his restraints. “There is only two ways to get out of cuffs — either they weren’t put on tight or you have a cuff key,” he said. Resiles faces murder charges in the September 2014 killing of Su, grandniece of Halliburton Co. founder Erle P. Halliburton. ARIANA CUBILLOS/AP Border crossing: Thousands of Venezuelans cross into Colombia on Sunday seeking food and medicine that are scarce at home. It was the second July weekend in a row that the border was opened. Syrian soldiers block road to rebel-held parts of Aleppo BEIRUT — Syrian government forces closed the only road leading into and out of rebel-held parts of the northern city of Aleppo on Sunday, besieging hundreds of thousands of people and giving President Bashar Assad’s forces one of their biggest successes since the five-year conflict began. Sunday’s push raised worries among the city’s civilian population of a humanitarian crisis as many feared food and medicine will run out in Aleppo within a short time. The siege marks the biggest victory for the government in Aleppo since rebels captured parts of the city in the summer of 2012. Aleppo, Syria’s former commercial center and the country’s largest city, has been divided and contested since then. Aleppo and its suburbs have seen intense fighting in recent months, with Syrian troops and their allies advancing with the aid of Russian airstrikes. Earlier this year the government launched a largescale offensive that captured much of the city’s northern outskirts. The capture of the road came as Russia and the United States, who support rival parties in the conflict, are negotiating a possible military partner- ship over Syria. Both countries have been trying to end the conflict in Syria, now in its sixth year. An eventual government victory in Aleppo would be a major turning point in the conflict in favor of Assad. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government forces and members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group reached the Castello road early Sunday. Government forces reached a point where they could fire on the road earlier this month, effectively cutting it off, though some people still made the dangerous journey. Report: Al-Qaida commander in Mali dies in raid ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — A group that monitors online extremist activity says al-Qaida’s North Africa branch has reported the death of a commander in Mali. The SITE Intelligence Group on Sunday quoted a statement from al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb say- ing Abu Bakr al-Shinqiti was killed during a raid on a Malian army barracks near the border with Burkina Faso. SITE said he was Tunisian. The statement did not specify the date or location of the raid, nor did it report any Malian casualties. On July 10, an official in Mali’s Koro region near the Burkina Faso border said gunmen had killed two Malian soldiers in a raid on a military checkpoint. Northern Mali was occupied in 2012 by al-Qaida and other jihadist groups before a French-led military operation drove them from cities and towns. DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia’s guardianship system, which bars women from traveling abroad, obtaining a passport, marrying or exiting prison without the consent of a male relative, remains the most significant impediment to realizing women’s rights in the kingdom, according to a report released Sunday by a leading human rights group. The Human Rights Watch study takes on increasing significance as the kingdom works to implement its “Vision 2030” and “National Transformation Plan” to wean the country off its dependence on oil, including government targets to boost women’s participation in the workforce. The report also comes just seven months after Saudi women were allowed the right to run and vote for the first time in the country’s only local elections.

Stenson’s final stroke Sunday was a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at Royal Troon — his 10th birdie of the Mickelson round — which give him an 8-under 63 to match Johnny Miller for the lowest closing round by a major champion. Stenson finished at 20-under 264, the lowest 72-hole score ever in a major.

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — Dylan Bundy’s first major league start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays was met with extraordinary anticipation.

He’s a smart guy. He’ll learn. He’s competitive. It’s kind of like Kevin Gausman.

Teammate Kevin Gausman continues to struggle with that problem and he has thrown 360 major league innings.

The Institute of National Anti-Doping Agencies is one of a handful of anti-doping and athletes’ groups to draft letters calling for the ban. They plan to send the letters to the International Olympic Committee only if the investigation, due out today, reveals evidence of state-sponsored doping throughout Russian sports. A group of Olympic leaders, including IOC members and swimming’s international federation, have released statements suggesting that the draft letters have undermined the credibility of investigator Richard McLaren’s report. “It is very disappointing to see prominent Olympic stakeholders attempting to get another family member banned from the Olympic Games in this rather underhand way,” said Spyros Capralos, president of Greece’s Olympic committee. But iNADO CEO Joseph de Pencier said his organization has neither communicated with McLaren nor tried to influence his work; he said he knew of no iNADO members’ contacting McLaren, either. The weekend back-and-forth about the draft letters illustrates the stakes of McLaren’s report and the IOC’s reaction to it. Anti-doping leaders and groups of ath- letes are calling for a full Russian ban from the coming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro if McLaren’s report substantiates and expands on preliminary findings that already have been released. Meanwhile, IOC President Thomas Bach says a balance must be struck between “collective responsibility and individual justice.” Preliminary findings from the report, released in June as part of a probe into the Russian track team, which already has been suspended from the games, said there was “mandatory state-directed manipulation of laboratory analytical results operating within”the Moscowanti-doping labfromatleast 2011 through the summer of 2013. Those findings also said Russia’s “Ministry of Sport advised the laboratory which of its adverse findings it could report to WADA, and which it had to cover up.” The planned release of the report today comes 18 days before the start of the Summer Olympics. A statement sent Sunday by swimming’s governing body, FINA, said the iNADO and other letters were “based on the findings of theMcLarenReport,whichismeanttohave been independent and confidential. Such breaches of confidentiality and the perception of a breach of independence of the report undermine its credibility.” Zlatko Matesa, president of Croatia’s Olympic Committee, said the “premature” movement to ban Russia “is not in the Olympic spirit and casts a shadow over the integrity of the McLaren report.” But dePencier said iNADO had no more information than anyone else.

Terps rising sophomore Austin Henningsen won 15 of 26 faceoffs for the U.S., and Bernhardt was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament. — From Sun staff and news services BRITISH OPEN MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 | SPORTS | THE BALTIMORE SUN 3 Stenson can’t be topped Mickelson’s best overshadowed as Swede wins 1st major crown with record-tying round of 63 By Tod Leonard | FINAL-ROUND RESULTS At Royal Troon, Scotland, Par 71, 7,190 yards 264 (-20) Henrik Stenson 267 (-17) Phil Mickelson 278 (-6) J.B.

He can second-guess himself for his shots on the 18th hole at Winged Foot in 2006 or his poor wedge play down the stretch at Merion in 2013. In his mind, those were U.S. Open titles that he frittered away. On Sunday in the British Open at Royal Troon, Mickelson shot a bogey-free 6under-par 65 and lost to the round of a lifetime by someone else. Henrik Stenson’s 8-under 63 tied Johnny Miller for the lowest final round in major championship history. The Swede’s winning total of 20-under 264 was the lowest 72-hole score ever in the majors. The two-man duel was scintillating stuff, a back-and-forth match that will go down as among the greatest in history. Stenson didn’t get the lead for good until the 14th hole, and then he seized the claret jug emphatically with three straight birdies. Yet Mickelson, 46, was going to need time to process whether all that great play meant much since he lost, though his previous five major wins will no doubt be of some long-term comfort. Mickelson’s 17-under total would have won all but two Opens over the past century. In the first round, if his birdie putt on the 18th hole had not spun out of the cup, he would be the first player in history to shoot 62 in a major. “You know,” he reflected, “it’s not like I have decades left of opportunities to win majors, so each one means a lot to me. And I put in my best performance today. Played close to flawless golf and was beat.” The thought Mickelson said he was left with: “What do I need to do?” Maybe birdie every hole. Mickelson managed four birdies and an eagle Sunday, but Stenson overpowered him with 10 birdies. Stenson, 40 and ranked No. 6 in the world, became the first Scandinavian to win a major because he enjoyed the usual precision with his irons while finding a putting prowess he’d never displayed before. Moreover, he showed a resolve that he’d never tapped into this deeply. “It’s not something you want to run around and shout, but I felt like this was GERRY PENNY/EPA British Open champ Henrik Stenson celebrates one of his 10 birdies during the final round. going to be my turn,” Stenson said. “I knew I was going to have to battle back if it wasn’t, but I think that was the extra self-belief that made me go all the way this week.” In conditions that were tough and windy early, but turned benign and sunny on the back nine, Stenson and Mickelson lapped the field. J.B. Holmes closed with a 69 and finished in third, 14 strokes behind Stenson. The match was being compared to the 1977 British Open showdown between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson at Turnberry, dubbed “The Duel in the Sun.” Watson prevailed by a shot over Nicklaus and 11 over third-place Hubert Green. “I was thinking about that,” Mickelson said with a slight smile. “I know I wanted to be more of Tom in that case than Jack.” Down by one shot at the outset, Mickelson immediately reversed the score when he hit his approach to within 1 foot at No. 1 and Stenson three-putted. Over the next 10 holes, they halved with par only twice while combining to score nine birdies, an eagle $1,549,590 68-65-68-63 $890,190 63-69-70-65 $571,040 70-70-69-69 $444,436 67-75-68-69 $310,798 69-71-73-67 70-71-71-68 68-70-73-69 $310,798 69-69-70-73 $178,477 71-69-72-70 67-68-75-72 68-70-69-75 $178,477 71-71-72-69 67-76-71-69 69-72-72-70 69-73-71-70 67-70-75-71 66-74-71-72 $122,154 71-72-70-71 67-68-76-73 72-66-73-73 67-71-72-74 $91,492 71-73-73-68 71-71-74-69 74-70-71-70 68-77-70-70 73-70-71-71 71-74-69-71 73-73-68-71 70-69-73-73 $51,489 71-75-72-68 72-70-75-69 72-73-71-70 71-72-73-70 68-76-70-72 70-76-68-72 $42,861 70-72-73-72 66-73-74-74 69-71-73-74 $37,091 70-76-72-70 69-73-75-71 68-71-75-74 Webb Simpson 289 (+5) Adam Scott Luke Donald Jim Herman 290 (+6) Harris English Richard Sterne Rickie Fowler Ryan Moore Alex Noren Matt Kuchar Nicolas Colsaerts 291 (+7) Danny Willet Kevin Chappell KT Kim Marc Leishman Justin Thomas 292 (+8) Ryan Evans 293 (+9) Daniel Summerhays Jon Rahm Jim Furyk Byeong Hun An 294 (+10) Mark O’Meara Paul Lawrie Graeme McDowell 295 (+11) Zander Lombard Harold Varner III 296 (+12) Marco Dawson Patton Kizzire James Hahn Anirban Lahiri 297 (+13) Scott Hend Yuta Ikeda Branden Grace Jamie Donaldson 298 (+14) Kevin Kisner 299 (+15) Charley Hoffman 301 (+17) Colin Montgomerie 302 (+18) Kodai Ichihara Soomin Lee 305 (+21) Greg Chalmers 70-72-71-75 $31,322 69-73-76-71 73-72-72-72 70-70-72-77 $25,227 73-73-73-71 68-74-76-72 69-72-76-73 70-73-74-73 70-72-73-75 71-68-75-76 72-73-70-75 $22,103 71-75-74-71 71-75-73-72 70-71-77-73 74-69-75-73 67-77-74-73 $22,103 71-75-74-72 $21,034 71-73-77-72 74-71-73-75 74-72-72-75 70-70-76-77 $20,573 71-72-78-73 72-74-74-74 75-71-72-76 $20,573 69-76-74-76 71-72-75-77 $19,848 72-73-77-74 76-70-75-75 74-72-74-76 69-72-76-79 $19,848 71-73-77-76 68-74-78-77 70-74-76-77 69-73-76-79 $18,991 70-72-80-76 $18,859 71-73-78-77 $18,859 71-75-79-76 $18,859 69-77-78-78 68-77-75-82 $18,331 72-71-77-85 and one bogey. They traded birdies at No. 10, but Stenson fell into a tie when he bogeyed 11 with a three-putt. It stayed that way until Stenson made an 18-foot birdie putt at 14. “That stung,” Mickelson said. Then came the crushing blow — Stenson putting from off the green, at least 40 feet, and making birdie at 15. “Absolute bomb,” Stenson said. Mickelson had a chance to tie when he gave himself an eagle putt at 16, but his ball broke off an inch from the target and hung on the edge. He had to settle for birdie, and Stenson matched him with a 5-foot birdie. “I really thought I made eagle on 16,” Mickelson said. “I don’t know how that eagle putt missed. … But it seems there have been a couple of putts like that this week.” He smiled, obviously referring to the Thursday putt on 18 for 62. It was that kind of week for Mickelson: Being great just wasn’t good enough. tod.leonard@sduniontribune.com NOTES ‘Beef’ cools off after hot start, but relishes cheers London’s Johnston finishes eighth; Stricker, at age 49, gets to play again next year By Tod Leonard San Diego Union-Tribune TROON, SCOTLAND — The roar could be heard for hundreds of yards on the grounds at Royal Troon. When Andrew Johnston holed a birdie putt on the first green of the British Open on Sunday, the gallery was stirred into a frenzy. “Beef” was off to a roaring start, and there was a glimmer of hope that he might be the Open’s next “Champion Golfer of the Year.” It wasn’t to be, as Johnston struggled in shooting a 2-over-par 73 that dropped him into eighth place at 3-under. Still, in the last 200 yards of his walk up the 18th, Johnston heard a rousing ovation and the chants of “Beef! Beef! Beef!” He took off his hat and raised his arms triumphantly. “I’ll remember it forever,” said the 27-year-old former mini-tour player from North London. Johnston birdied three of his first four holes, but couldn’t make another after that, and scored 38 on the back nine. “It was probably slightly disappointing the way I played,” Johnston said. “I started off pretty good, but I don’t think my short game was good enough today. I didn’t putt that well. There was a better score to be hand, but I gave it my best and that’s what I come off with — no regrets.” Stenson dedicates win: In his remarks at the awards ceremony, Henrik Stenson said he was dedicating his win to an American friend, Mike Gerbich, who died of cancer at age 74 on Wednesday in Scottsdale, Ariz. Stenson posted a picture on Instagram of himself, looking very young, posed with Gerbich at a golf outing. The two met in Dubai years ago. “He was a very keen golfer and a great man,” Stenson said at his news conference. “He’s always been there as a big supporter of mine, and in good days and bad days he always sent me messages and been out at some events.” ANDREW REDINGTON/GETTY IMAGES Henrik Stenson, right, walks off the course with Phil Mickelson after winning the British Open. Stenson dedicated his victory to Mike Gerbich, an American friend who died Wednesday. pretty cool things.” Stricker tied for second in June in the FedEx St. Jude Classic. His best finish in a major is second in the 1998 PGA Championship. Stricker rocks at 49: Steve Stricker may be playing a limited schedule at the age of 49, but he’s showing no signs of letting up competitively. He shot 69 in the final round — with a double-bogey on the par-3 17th — and finished alone in fourth place at 5-under. As a top-10 finisher, Stricker will be invited back to the British Open next year. It also ensures his return to the Masters. “It’s a lot of spinoffs,” Stricker said. “That’s the great thing about playing golf MATT DUNHAM/ASSOCIATED PRESS Andrew Johnston of England acknowledges the crowd on the 18th green. “I’ll remember it forever,” Johnston said of the cheers. out here professionally. There are a lot of carrots dangling. When you’re playing well, you’re rewarded and you get to do some Monty’s quick round: Troon member Colin Montgomerie had a strange final round. Last in the field after Saturday, Montgomerie was the first off the tee Sunday and played with a marker, Troon’s head pro. He had been honored to be the first player off the tee Thursday morning. On Sunday, he played in 2 hours, 50 minutes, shot 76 and finished at 17-over. “Everyone in the scorer’s tent and even our own scorer said that was refreshing, and it’s the way to play golf,” Montgomerie said. “I’m tired now, very tired,” the 53-yearold said. “I’ve been the leader in the clubhouse again — second time this week.” Cancer survivor Southgate finishes in tears: With his family watching, cancer survivor Matthew Southgate was in tears as he approached the 18th green. A traumatic 12 months for the Englishman was ending on a high. Southgate was about to complete a final round of 2-under 69 that saw him finish tied for 12th, a year to the week that he underwent surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. At that point, he thought his golfing career was over. “Words cannot describe how that felt walking down that last hole,” the 27-yearold Southgate said. “Sixty-nine is a hell of a score for me on a day which meant so much.” Within weeks of the operation, Southgate was back playing — against his doctor’s advice — and initially using his girlfriend’s lighter clubs. He got through tour school to keep his place on the European Tour, had a fourth-place finish at the Irish Open in May for the biggest pay check of his career, and then qualified for the Open last month. With a 1-under 283, he finished higher than players such as top-ranked Jason Day and Jordan Spieth. It nearly earned him an exemption into next year’s British Open at Birkdale. Southgate missed out by one stroke. “It’s been a roller-coaster year for me,” said Southgate, who was told recently that doctors were happy with his recovery and that he doesn’t have to go to see them as regularly. “I always had the belief inside I’d get over the health issues and be back in an Open Championship, but to do it within the year and to have my family here it is a big achievement for me. If you had asked me last year, I’d have said it was possible for me to qualify. But to finish up there comfortably in the top 20, no one would have had a one-pound bet on that.” This week, Southgate has been wearing a wristband with the words “Hattie’s Heroes” on it. His 3-year-old niece, Hattie, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014 and is coming to the end of her chemotherapy. Southgate left Troon with a message: “For any youngsters out there who want to do it, just go for it and stick with your dreams.” Top players not in contention; “Postage Stamp” not so scary: Among the top four ranked players in the world, Rory McIlroy fared the best. He closed with a 67 and tied for fifth at 4 under. A year after coming within one shot of a playoff in the Open, Spieth tied for 30th. He shot his best score of the week on Sunday with 68. Day (71) tied for 22nd at 1 over. … The “Postage Stamp” par-3 eighth hole wasn’t such a beast. It ranked as only the 11th-hardest hole for the week. There were 11 double-bogeys and 10 “others” scored in four rounds. Matt Kuchar’s 7 on Sunday tied for the secondhighest score at the eighth since 1997.

It was time for a home run.” Marte’s solo shot off Oliver Perez in the 18th inning Sunday gave the Pirates a 2-1 victory. The only longer game in the majors came July 1 when the Indians beat the Blue Jays in 19 innings. “I just love the grit of our club,” said manager Clint Hurdle, whose Pirates snapped a three- game losing streak. “I don’t know if it builds character. It definitely reveals character.” It took 17 pitchers combining for 540 pitches in a game that lasted 5 hours, 48 minutes. It was close to ending a lot earlier. The Nationals were down to their last strike in the ninth inning when pinch hitter Daniel Murphy hit a tying home run. Murphy, who was out of the lineup for the third consecutive day with a sore left hamstring, took All-Star closer Mark Melancon deep on a 2-2 cutter. In extra innings, it turned into a battle of attrition. The Pirates could have taken the lead in the 16th on a double by Josh Harrison, but a perfect relay from Nats center fielder Michael A. Taylor to shortstop Danny Espinosa to catcher Wilson Ramos nailed Eric Fryer at the plate. “It’s the best relay in the history of the game in the 16th inning,” Hurdle said. “Ever.” Marte’s home run came on a swing the Nationals didn’t even want him to get. Manager Dusty Baker wanted to intentionally walk Marte but couldn’t get the signal to Ramos in time. “I didn’t put the (four) fingers up soon enough to walk him,” Baker said. “Before I could, he hit the first pitch out of the ballpark.” 000 000 000—0 000 000 001—1 4 0 7 0 Two outs when winning run scored. agrounded out for Teheran in the 7th. bout on sacrifice bunt for Gray in the 8th. c-walked for Descalso in the 9th. dgrounded out for Motte in the 9th. epopped out for Johnson in the 9th.

Encina The Baltimore Sun Hart makes major league debut: When Orioles left-hander Donnie Hart was introduced — and the crowd was told he was making his major league debut — before the bottom of the sixth inning, the 25-year-old reliever could clearly and left the game after reaching his pitch limit of 70 in the Orioles’ 5-2 loss to the Rays. Tampa Bay ended an eight-game losing streak. Not only was Bundy’s arrival in the starting rotation the realization of the organization’s future becoming the present, but an exciting moment given the indirect path Bundy took to this point, from his fast-tracked but brief major league debut to the three injury-plagued seasons that followed, including Tommy John surgery in 2013. Confident those health concerns were in the past, the Orioles let Bundy start and received mixed results. “He’s got a good arm,” Showalter said. “Obviously, we know that. He got a couple of pitches they blocked the other way. [Evan] Longoria ambushed him, for one. It’s all a part of the process. . … He’s thinking like a pitcher, he’s not thinking about a lot of things that have been challenging him. Now, it’s about the competition, trying to give us a good chance to win. More times than not, giving up four, we’ll be in that game a little bit more than we were today.” He threw 12 of 18 first-pitch strikes, working ahead of the Tampa Bay hitters often, but the Rays obviously did their homework on Bundy, hitting all three homers on mid-90-mph fastballs, including two opposite-field blasts on two-strike counts on fastballs on the outside part of Harvey faces checkup on elbow today Oft-injured prospect left start with Aberdeen after 11⁄3 innings Sat. By Eduardo A. Encina | RERINHOLD MATAY/ASSOCIATED PRESS Donnie Hart, called up Friday from Double-A Bowie, makes his major league debut in the sixth inning of Sunday’s game. He got two outs before leaving. WILL VRAGOVIC/TAMPA BAY TIMES Pedro Alvarez rounds the bases Sunday after hitting his second homer in as many games. hear his mother, Kathy, cheering from the seating bowl. “That’s the one person I can hear no matter how many people are in the stands,” Hart said. “I heard that and kind of smiled a little bit inside and said, ‘It’s time to go to work.’ It was fun.” Showalter had been looking for a good opportunity for Hart to get his first major league appearance since joining the team Friday from Double-A Bowie. An opportunity emerged in the sixth inning against a part of Tampa Bay’s lineup that had three straight left-handed hitters. The sidearm-throwing Hart needed just six pitches to retire two lefties, getting a flyout from Corey Dickerson and striking out Kevin Bundy HR victim in first MLB start ORIOLES, From page 1 FRI NOTES Bundy out early; offense can’t cash in ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. – At least one time each trip to St. Petersburg, Orioles manager Buck Showalter mentions how Tropicana Field — with its vast foul ground, deep power alleys and controlled conditions — has morphed into more of a pitcher’s ballpark over the years. And the Orioles won a pair of low-scoring games to start their three-game series against Tampa Bay this weekend. But the Orioles couldn’t complete a sweep of the reeling Rays, dropping a 5-2 decision Sunday as Tampa Bay ended its eight-game losing streak in front of an announced 16,161. Former first-round draft pick Dylan Bundy allowed four runs — including three homers — over 31⁄3 innings in his major league debut as a starter, and the Orioles’ offense couldn’t capitalize on several opportunities to break through against Rays right-hander Jake Odorizzi. “It was more about us not scoring any runs today,” Showalter said. “We had a couple opportunities and could have cashed in on and didn’t. Odorrizi was good.” The Orioles (53-37) were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. They opened the game by putting two runners in scoring position when Adam Jones’ leadoff single was followed by Jonathan Schoop’s double, but they scored just one run that inning, on Manny Machado’s sacrifice fly. Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo struck out. Schoop was stranded in the third after his second double of the day — this time with one out. Machado grounded out and Davis struck out to end the inning. Davis then stranded the bases loaded with a shallow flyout to end the fifth — an inning that opened with back-to-back singles from No. 8 hitter Joey Rickard and No. 9 hitter Caleb Joseph. “We had him on the ropes a few times and just couldn’t cash in,” Joseph said of Odorizzi, who allowed just two runs on seven hits over six innings, striking out seven and walking one. THU the plate. “They were pretty much where I wanted them,” Bundy said. “These guys are good hitters up here, we just got to be able to make better pitches. It’s the most pitches I’ve thrown up here in my career, so that’s a positive. Had a good fastball, but the command of it wasn’t there like I wanted it to be and they took advantage of it.” One of Bundy’s biggest improvements this season has been using his changeup to keep the ball on the ground — and in the ballpark — but he induced just one ground-ball out on Sunday. “The Rays are aggressive and were looking to get on that fastball,” Bundy said. “One ball, I think, was on the ground [for an out], so that’s not very good from a starter. I’ve got to work on movement of it and getting the two-seam over the plate and keep the ball down.” A Rays team that had scored just five runs over their previous four games jumped on the rookie quickly. With the Orioles (53-37) leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Longoria turned on a 97-mph fastball on a 1-0 count, sending it an estimated 419 feet into the left-field stands for his 31st career homer against the Orioles. Longoria later homered off reliever Odrisamer Despaigne for his 17th career multi-homer game. Bundy was one strike from getting out of the second inning unscathed before Oswaldo Arcia homered on a a full-count, 95mph fastball on the outside corner Kiermaier on four pitches, the last a 75-mph slider that Kiermaier swung through. The Rays pinch-hit for the left-handed-hitting Oswaldo Arcia, and Hart walked off the field to a loud ovation from the Orioles contingent behind the third-base dugout. “It’s nice,” Hart said. “I saw the lineup today and saw the three lefties in a row and kinda knew those were the guys I would get. It’s nice it worked out in a fresh inning.” It was important to give Hart a look before the Orioles left for New York, where he might be needed again against a Yankees lineup with its share of lefthanders. Hart was given a game ball as a keepsake of his debut. “It’s going to go to Mama Hart,” he said. Alvarez homers in his second straight game: Designated hitter Pedro Alvarez’s solo homer in the sixth inning off Odorizzi was moot, but another sign that Alvarez’s bat is heating up. Alvarez took a 1-2 elevated sinker the opposite way into the left-field seats for his second homer in as many starts. He homered in Friday’s series opener, and missed a second home run that night by inches when one of this hits bounced off the top of the railing above the left-field fence. Alvarez is hitting .315 with nine homers and 20 RBIs in his past 26 games. eencina@baltsun.com twitter.com/EddieInTheYard to give the Rays a 3-1 lead. Brad Miller then homered to lead off the third inning, hitting an 0-2, 95-mph outside fastball the opposite way to left field. “You’re trying to work in the off-speed pitches there,” Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph said. “When a guy is really throwing it by guys, you run into the issue of not wanting to speed their bat up, but I think he just missed on a couple of pitches. A couple of opposite-field homers. I don’t think that’s going to be a very common thing when Dylan is on the mound.” Bundy was carrying a strong fastball that sat at 95-97 and hit 98 mph on the stadium radar gun multiple times. But the control he’s displayed this season in relief — he was averaging 2.8 walks per nine innings — wasn’t there Sunday, when he issued four walks. “I thought his stuff was really crisp,” Joseph said. “I thought he had a nice tempo out there. He left a few balls out over the plate. He didn’t give up many hits, but when they did, it seemed like they hit the barrel pretty hard. I thought tonight, or today, was not a good idea of what we’re going to get. He’s going to put together some really nice innings for us and it’s just a matter of their bats waking up at the right time. I thought his stuff was really crisp. I thought he did well. Bundy reached his season high of 57 pitches after three innings, and left the game after issuing back-to-back one-out walks to Arcia and No. 9 hitter Curt Casali. His intended pitch count was between 70 and 75 on Sunday with the hope he can continue to work it up as he continues to be stretched out. eencina@baltsun.com twitter.com/EddieInTheYard The Baltimore Sun ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. – Orioles pitching prospect Hunter Harvey is scheduled to have an MRI on his right elbow area today following his abrupt departure from his most recent start at short-season Aberdeen. Harvey, who was pitching in Aberdeen in an effort to build up innings following sports hernia surgery in May, left Saturday’s game after just 11⁄3 innings and 23 pitches against Batavia. Harvey, 21, was the Orioles’ first-round draft pick (22nd overall) in 2013. He was working up his inning count, first pitching in the Gulf Coast League before making his third start with the IronBirds on Saturday. In his previous start with Aberdeen, Harvey threw a season-high 69 pitches and allowed nine baserunners and three runs — two earned — over a season-high 31⁄3 innings. It’s the latest setback in Harvey’s injury-plagued career. He was shut down one month early in 2014, his first full minor league season, with forearm soreness and he missed the entire 2015 season, first with a hairline fracture in his shin after taking a comebacker in a minor league spring training game and then with more arm soreness. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection to help his recovery, but didn’t pitch for the rest of the season. Manager Buck Showalter said the report he received on Harvey’s outing showed that the pitcher had been performing well before leaving the game. “I was just looking at” the report, Showalter said. “He had good stuff, good velocity. I’m just hoping it was a precautionary thing. I’m not sure. … [Player development director] Brian [Graham] just said he had some soreness there that they didn’t like his description of it, but he was [throwing] 96. He was good.” Kim sticking with team: Outfielder Hyun Soo Kim tested his right hamstring before Sunday’s game and the team determined he had improved enough to accompany the squad to New York. There’s still no guarantee that Kim, who strained his hamstring July 10 while running to first base in his first at-bat, will play in the Orioles’ forthcoming four-game series against the Yankees, but he’s close enough that the team would rather keep him on the travel squad than leave him in Florida to rehabilitate at the spring training facility in Sarasota. “He’s closer. He could do a lot of things today he couldn’t do, wasn’t as good at on Thursday, so that was encouraging,” Showalter said. Kim, who was listed among the team’s available reserves for Sunday’s series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays, performed a variety of running drills before Sunday’s game and Showalter said he did well, only feeling any tinge of discomfort during the final set of drills. Kim said Saturday he believed he felt good enough to play. If he doesn’t play by Wednesday — the last of 10 days a team can backdate a disabled-list stint — he would likely be placed on the DL. In that case, Kim would be eligible to return July 26. Worley to start Tuesday: Despite throwing 12⁄3 innings of relief in Sunday’s 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay, right-hander Vance Worley will fill the team’s rotation hole Tuesday against the Yankees, Showalter said. Worley needed just16 pitches to retire all five batters he faced Sunday, so Showalter said the outing was treated more like a side bullpen session. Worley hadn’t made a start since April 15. Since then, he’s been a valuable weapon in long relief. He has a 2.34 ERA in 342⁄3 relief innings and a 5.06 ERA in two starts this season. Around the horn: Shortstop J.J. Hardy extended his hit streak to 10 games Sunday. He is hitting .385/.400/.641 over that stretch. … The Orioles dropped to 30-10 when scoring first this season. eencina@baltsun.com twitter.com/EddieInTheYard Remembering 1966 By Mike Klingaman | A weekly look at the Orioles’ first championship For the week of July 17-23 The Baltimore Sun Having struggled for two weeks (five wins, six losses), the Orioles explode, reeling off seven straight victories — including a three-game sweep of the second-place Detroit Tigers at Memorial Stadium — that balloons their American League lead to 121⁄2 games. At 66-32, they are a club-record 34 games over .500. “If we lose now,” Orioles coach Gene Woodling says, “we should be run out of town.” Frank Robinson erupts from a rare slump to hit six home runs, four of them against the Tigers, to increase his AL lead to 28. All told, the Orioles batter Detroit for 29 runs and 47 hits, starting with a13-3 rout on the heels of a road trip from which they’d arrived at 5 a.m. that day. During one stretch in the series, they hit safely in 22 consecutive innings. Pennant fever? Baltimore has it. “The Orioles’ magic number is 58,” The Sun reports. Brooks Robinson, who’d cooled after a torrid start, hits in nine straight games and Boog Powell sends a monstrous homer over the 410-foot sign in center field at Memorial Stadium. There are pitching stars as well. In a portent of his shutdown performance in Game 1 of the World Series, Moe Drabowsky pitches four perfect innings of relief, striking out eight (five in a row) to stave off the Tigers, 10-7. And in a 3-1 win over Chicago, Jim Palmer stops the White Sox on six hits for his team-leading 11th victory. He then beckons the media. “I had my pancakes this morning. That’s my secret,” the 20-year-old right-hander says. mike.klingaman@baltsun.com twitter.com/MikeKlingaman 6 THE BALTIMORE SUN | SPORTS VARSITY BASEBALL | MONDAY, JULY 18, 2016 Coaches laud guidelines on pitch counts High school rules body will require all states to monitor, limit pitch counts in 2017 By James Peters Baltimore Sun Media Group Looking to lessen the chances of high school pitchers’ injuring their arms because of overuse, the National Federation of State High School Associations’ Baseball Rules Committee announced Wednesday to “require a pitching restriction policy based on the number of pitches thrown in a game.” The rule change, which will take effect in 2017, requires each state association to “develop its own pitching restriction policy based on the number of pitches thrown during a game to afford pitchers a required rest period between pitching appearances.” Before the change, pitchers were allowed to throw a maximum of 14 innings in a seven-day span or 10 in a three-day span. “The recommendation is a good thing for the players,” Arundel coach Frank Hood said. “Something’s got to be done to protect the kids. It’s a precaution, but it will be interesting. In my opinion, if you are throwing a kid for over 100 pitches and not giving him ample amount of rest, like three or four days, you don’t belong [in] coaching.” The Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association oversees Maryland’s public school teams. “Ultimately, the NFHS is leaving it up to the state associations on a pitch-count policy,” Hood said. “The NFHS and the MPSSAA are looking at the guidelines of USA Baseball’s Pitch Smart Program. I have followed that for years at both Southern and now at Arundel. I never throw a guy on just three days’ rest.” The Pitch Smart Program standards include a limit of 95 pitches for ages 13 to 16 in a single day with four days of rest before taking the mound again. That pitch limit climbs to 105 for 17- and 18-year-olds with the same rest requirements. “It’s going to provide some consistency too,” Old Mill coach Charlie Chaffin said. “It goes all the way back to USA Baseball, so I think there are going to be guidelines. I think it’s going to start from there and filter down to all the high schools and amateur levels as well. It’s going to be put in place to protect the arms.” Well-intended as the new rule is, Hood and Chaffin say the measures may be difficult to enforce. “The hard part is keeping track of the pitches,” said Chaffin during a rain delay at Saturday’s Crab Claw Classic at Joe Cannon Stadium in Anne Arundel County. “We’re going to have to follow up game after game and check the accuracy of what we have and what the other team has. I don’t really think it’s going to alter the number of pitches a kid throws in a week versus if we track innings, but it’s the way things are going.” Said Hood: “The big question will be how it is enforced. Since it won’t be part of the rule book, it will be outside the umpires’ jurisdiction. But who will be responsible for the count? Each coach? How will you resolve discrepancies? Those questions all have to be answered.” Ultimately, Archbishop Curley coach Brooks Norris believes the responsibility for keeping players healthy is the coaching staff’s. “I don’t think there’s any one right answer,” he said. “I think it’s good to try to keep kids from getting abused. Counting pitches instead of innings is a big plus, but I don’t think it’s perfect. There are some kids who are bigger, stronger, more physically mature who can handle a higher pitch count. “I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I think it’s the coach’s responsibility to take care of the kids, take care of their arms to make sure they’re not getting overused. Hopefully, it will help, but who knows?” Archbishop Spalding coach Joe Palumbo said that the main problem with overworked arms should not attributed to high school coaches but to summer travel teams. He estimated pitchers will throw about 75 pitches in pool play, and if his team reaches the next round, the same pitcher will throw another 75 pitches for a total of 150 in five days. “So many young players get injured and need surgery at such a young age. It’s definitely something people need to be aware of as parents and as coaches,” Palumbo said. “It’s going to help players stay healthy long-term.” Baltimore Sun Media Group reporter Mike Morea contributed to this article. FROM PAGE ONE Despite numbers, Bundy showed some promise in Sunday’s start SCHMUCK, From page 1 work postgame comments, manager Buck Showalter seemed satisfied with the performance, which would have looked a lot better if the Orioles had figured out a way to get a hit or two with runners in scoring position. The Orioles were 0-for-7 in those situations, which they’ll attribute to a solid performance by Rays starter Jake Odorizzi and be half right. When the first six hitters in one of baseball’s best lineups strike out 13 times, there’s only so much cap-tipping you can justify. Here’s what matters: Bundy built up a lot of confidence on the way to a 2-1 record and 3.08 ERA in 22 first-half relief appearances. Nothing that happened Sunday should shake that confidence as long as he knows the Orioles understand they are grooming him for a long career as a starting pitcher and this was the beginning of that process. It’s not entirely clear just how often he will slot into the rotation. Showalter originally hinted at a very conservative innings limit this season — perhaps as few as 70. That might have evolved as Bundy Orioles grades For Peter Schmuck’s marks after the series against the Rays, go to baltimoresun.com/schmuckstop began to display the velocity and arm strength that encouraged the Orioles to make him the fourth overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft. Even if the club decides to hold him to, say, 100 innings this year, that would leave enough for him to make 10 to 12 starts. The decision to move Bundy into the rotation was made out of necessity, so his near-term future might be affected by whatever executive vice president Dan Duquette does before the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline. If the Orioles find a way to acquire a quality veteran starter — which appears unlikely at this point — Bundy might fall back into a spot starter-middle reliever role. No matter how well Bundy pitches going forward, however, the Orioles would be DON T MISS THOSE DON’T TREASURED MOMENTS. JOSEPH GARNETT.

In 26 starts for Roush Fenway Racing from 2000 to 2012, Kenseth had no victories and only five top-five finishes and 12 top-10 finishes at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. But these days the cozy confines of the tight 1.058-mile Loudon oval regularly put a smile on the face of Kenseth, who joined the Joe Gibbs Racing stable before the 2013 season. On Sunday, Kenseth proved once again that the horrors at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway are long in the rear view. Kenseth rallied from a deep starting spot and rolled to victory in the Sprint Cup Series New Hampshire 301. “It always feels good to win, but today especially,” Kenseth said. “Friday I didn’t do a good job qualifying. We had to start in the middle of the pack. Our first run wasn’t great, we adjusted and made some great changes for run two and really I felt like we had probably the best car all day, it just took forever to get there. It definitely feels good to get the win.” Tony Stewart was second and Joey Logano third. It was the second consecutive victory at the track for Kenseth — who won there last September in the second Chase for the Championship playoff event — and his third victory overall in his past six COMBAT WOUNDED COALITION 400 Indianapolis Motor Speedway Sunday, 3 p.m. TV: NBC Sports Network starts in Loudon.

I’m just thinking about moving on to [Indianapolis] and hopefully being in the mix.” Kenseth started 18th in the field. He was up to fifth by Lap 75. He went by Martin Truex Jr. for the lead on Lap 258 and held that spot until a round of pit stops under caution. Hamlin stayed out and assumed the lead, but Kenseth retook the lead for good on Lap 271. Busch led the most laps (133) Sunday, but faded to eighth place late. Hamlin led five laps and was ninth. Edwards was 20th. All four Gibbs teams are already unofficially qualified for the Chase for the Championship playoff. “That’s what it’s all about,” team owner Joe Gibbs said. “… I think the key is, as you continue to work during the year, is trying to keep the performance and try to point to the playoffs. When you get to the playoffs you never know what’s going to happen. You take your best shot. What you want to do is hopefully continue to improve as the year goes on and that’s kind of our goal.” More than an hour after the conclusion of the race, NASCAR officials announced that Kenseth’s car failed the postrace Laser Inspection System and will be further examined this week at the NASCAR R&D Center in Concord, N.C.

We’ve had some good runs here in the last three years and we always look forward to coming here. It’s been a track that’s not only good for the team, but obviously good for Matt.” For Joe Gibbs Racing it proved an important victory. The team had gone six events without winning, which stood out as a huge number considering Joe Gibbs Racing cars won seven of the first 12 events of the season. The last win for the team was Kenseth’s on May 15 at Dover International Speedway.

Pass 2♦ Pass ♦ "South next led a heart 12 NT Pass 3 NT All Pass to dummy and returned a diamond to his king. On Opening lead — ♣ 5 the next diamond, my husband’s queen and my ace clashed, and South made an overtrick." "My husband said I should have discarded my ace of diamonds on the third club. His queen would become an entry to his good clubs. I had to admit he was right, but I didn’t agree that I should have found such a bizarre play." To discard the ace of South’s long suit might have blown a trick -- vital at duplicate. Still, I would have tried it. I wouldn’t have passed up a chance for a once-in-a-lifetime play. DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ A Q 3 ♥ K J 4 ♦ K 5 4 2 ♣ K Q 8. You are the dealer. What is your opening call? ANSWER South in today’s deal opened one diamond. No doubt his range for a1NT opening bid was15 to17 points, as it is for many duplicate players. Even so, a case existed for downgrading the hand. It has only one ace, no long suit to serve as a source of tricks and no promising spot cards. Personally, I might have opened 1NT even with a 15-to-17 range. —Tribune Media Services IF YOU SUSPECT AN ADVERTISER IS FRAUDULENT, PLEASE CONTACT US AT 410-332-6146 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING DPMT.

She can be warm and generous, is a hard worker and is always the first to volunteer for projects and committees. She is also incredibly sensitive and thin-skinned and often perceives slights in benign comments. When this happens, she flies off the handle. She has stormed out of meetings in tears and snapped at co-workers. I have stopped defending her, both publicly and privately. But now and then I still “run interference” for her in an attempt to prevent her from melting down and to protect others’ feelings. She often wants to vent about how she has been mistreated and asks for advice about how to handle these imaginary insults, butsherejectsanyactualhelpand seems to only want to be told that she is right and others are wrong. She has experienced some trying personal circumstances in the past few years, and we work in a setting that gives workers a lot of autonomy (i.e. behavior has to be really egregious for a supervisor to get involved.) Any advice? — Emotional Hostage DEAR HOSTAGE: You have kindly run interference for your co-worker for years so that she will be shielded from the natural consequences of her actions. No doubt you have done this for her because you are a genuinely good person. Perhaps you’ve also done this for your own reasons. Her volatility makes you uncomfortable. You also sound a little afraid of her moods and behavior. Emotional bullies get the best of people by making others check their own reactions to try to protect themselves. Over time, this can make things much worse. If she is acting out, don’t offer help or advice. Never “protect” her from a meltdown. If she is venting to you and asks for advice, tell her, “You ask for advice but you don’t seem to actually want it. I’m confident you can figure this out.” The loose environment at your workplace gives her a lot of latitude about her behavior, but this environment might not be the best fit for her. If her unhappiness and behavior at work interferes with her (and others’) ability to do their jobs, it would be time for a supervisor to offer her a course correction. — Tribune Media Services JUMBLE SPORTS 11 | THE BALTIMORE SUN Best bets MONDAY AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR Atlanta is the setting for the latest City Finals in this new episode, as the top 30 local competitors from the qualifying round give the course another go to land a slot in the final contest in Las Vegas — and, possibly, the $1 million grand prize.
