Supreme Court impeachment bill barely advances

SWEET TALK

By John Hanna

More inside

Associated Press

Topeka — A bill declaring that Kansas Supreme Court justices can be impeached for attempting to infringe on the Legislature’s power was narrowly approved Tuesday in the state Senate, but a split among majority Republicans signaled the measure could face difficulty moving ahead.

The Senate’s vote of 2119 reflected some misgivings within its GOP supermajority about a proposal that critics labeled an at- LEGISLATURE tack on the court system’s independence. The measure goes next to the House, where similar divisions among Republicans exist.

It’s the latest in a series of initiatives putting Kansas at the center of a national effort by GOP conservatives to remake state courts. Those have included failed efforts to change how Supreme Court justices are chosen and a threat by lawmakers — later dropped — to

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF TALKS TO MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA TUESDAY at the Hyatt Regency Downtown hotel after the Jayhawks arrived in Louisville, Ky. Kansas plays Maryland in a Sweet 16 matchup on Thursday.

The lowdown on Louisville for KU basketball fans in downtown Louisville.

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

Kansas University basketball fans bound for Louisville are in for a long drive but should find a lot to do once they arrive in this colorful and historic Kentucky city, located on the Ohio River.

Here’s what you need to know about the game, the KU Alumni Association fan events and things to do

SWEET 16 SECTION COMING THURSDAY

Game time KU tips off against the Maryland Terrapins at approximately 9:40 p.m.

(Eastern Time) Thursday.

Maryland — coached by former KU basketball player Mark Turgeon (1983-87) — is the No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament South Regional bracket.

Thursday’s Journal-World will feature a special section — Journey to the Sweet 16 — providing pictorial highlights of KU’s season and its run thus far in the NCAA Tournament. The special section will be available at newsstands across the area for a $2 price.

The vote Tuesday also came less than six weeks after the Supreme Court ordered lawmakers to increase state aid for poor school districts — or face having all public schools shut down in July.

Supporters said the bill simply gives examples of what the state constitution means when it says Supreme Court justices can be impeached and removed from office for “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The new list would include “wanton or reckless judicial conduct” and “attempting to usurp the power” of legislators or executive-branch officials.

City Commission delays decision on HERE parking ‘mess’

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

The Lawrence City Commission delayed, for a second time, a decision on what commissioners and developers have called a “mess” of a parking situation for a large apartment and retail structure near Kansas University.

After hearing about a parking plan slightly revised from what it had been in January, com-

missioners again gave direction to developers on how they want it fixed before they’d approve it.

HERE @ Kansas is an under-construction development at 1101 and 1115 Indiana streets that comprises 624 bedrooms and approximately 13,500 square feet of retail space.

Under the previous City Commission, it received an incentive package from the city including a 10-year, 85 percent tax rebate.

Parking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Developers’ original plan for an automated parking garage for the site was thwarted when the company building it went bankrupt in October.

They’ve since been working on a solution to meet the city’s parking requirements with the alreadyconstructed parking deck, which was not built to city standards for a self-park garage.

“This is just a mess I feel like I’m continuing to have to clean up,” said Vice Mayor Leslie Soden, after about two hours of discussion. “I do want to see the project successful, no matter how nasty I may say things. It was stuck in our laps, and we have to make the best of what we can.”

James Letchinger, the president of the company behind HERE, responded, saying: “This is a mess, and I wish I wasn’t involved in it, either.”

“We tried to give you every piece of documentation humanely possible to explain how this works,” Letchinger said. “We’re stuck. We’ve done everything we can to solve our problem.”

Letchinger proposed Tuesday operating the parking deck with valets, which would cut the number of spaces in the garage and put the development about 100 short of what the city requires. Because of the shortfall, Letchinger suggested filling only 592 of 624 bedrooms and not filling any retail space until more parking were secured.

Letchinger said he’s close to proposing a solution that would create another 100 spaces, though he didn’t divulge details Tuesday.

Commissioner Matthew

“

This is just a mess I feel like I’m continuing to have to clean up.”

— Vice Mayor Leslie Soden Herbert presented another option that the City Commission directed developers to plan: filling only 486 bedrooms and at least some of the retail space by the time the development opens this August. Herbert said he did not want 108 on-street spaces to be counted toward resident parking, but devoted to the retail.

“My concern is, this entire agreement was made with the city based on the notion of this being mixed-use,” Herbert said. “I’ve got to think the (Neighborhood Revitalization Act) would never have happened if they said, ‘Hey, we want to throw up an enormous apartment house.’ What I want to see happen is the mixed-use, from day one.”

Commissioners also told developers they didn’t want an entrance to the parking deck off 11th Street, and instead wanted vehicle elevators added into the garage for valets’ use.

Mayor Mike Amyx reiterated that he wanted the parking spaces and aisles in the garage to be built to city standards, saying, “I really believe in our code.”

But Letchinger said it was impossible with how the columns were built to make the spaces and aisles wide enough to meet code.

“What a mess,” Amyx responded.

The commission is expecting to see the issue again in two weeks, at the latest.

Amyx, Soden and Commissioner Stuart Boley voted against a rezoning that would’ve allowed it. Herbert and Commissioner Lisa Larsen voted for the shooting range to be located there.

A site plan for Sells’ backup location, in the southwest corner of The Malls shopping center, has already received approval from the city planning office. Because that location is already zoned to allow a shooting range, the plan does not have to go to the City Commission for approval.

The city received no correspondence from anyone in favor of The Malls location. Lawrence School Board Member Shannon Kimball and Colby Wilson, director of the Lawrence Boys & Girls Club, spoke against the 31st and Haskell location, saying it would make the area unsafe for students. Kimball said the school board did not have a position regarding The Malls location.

“It’s forced me to open a gun range at a busy intersection,” Sells said. “If the people of Lawrence have a problem with that, they can come up here and talk to these people.” l Voted 5-0 to allow the Downtown Lawrence Farmers’ Market to move its Tuesday evening markets to the plaza area near the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Tuesday markets start May 3 and run from 4 to 6 p.m.

Fire damages apartments; nobody injured

Firefighters are investigating the cause of a two-alarm fire Tuesday afternoon at Orchard Corners Apartments in west Lawrence.

No injuries were reported.

At 12:12 p.m. a fire was reported on the balcony of a third-floor apartment at 1403 Apple Lane, near the intersection of Kasold Drive and Bob Billings Parkway, said Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Division Chief Bill Stark.

Flames and heavy smoke emerged from the apartment and the roof.

Most of the flames were knocked down within 10 minutes of firefighters arriving on scene, Stark said.

FIREFIGHTERS WORK TO CONTROL A FIRE TUESDAY at Orchard Corners Apartments, 1403 Apple Lane.

“But it took us quite some time to bring it totally under control,” he added. “Because of the design of the building, it’s very tall and there are a lot of hidden areas where the fire can go.”

Crews remained on scene into the evening, checking the complex to ensure the fire was out, Stark said.

Two third-floor apartments received the bulk of the fire, smoke and water damage, Stark said.

Many residents living in other apartments in the building were allowed inside Tuesday afternoon.

SCHOOL BOARD

Committee considers Confederate flag ban

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

The Lawrence school board’s policy advisory committee is considering whether to recommend a districtwide ban on the Confederate flag.

Three Free State High School students — Abena Peasah, Seamus Ryan and Maame Britwum — attended the board’s meeting Monday and submitted a student petition in sup-

port of creating a district policy to ban the flag.

“We, along with hundreds of students from both high schools who have signed the petition, believe that the district has failed its students by ignoring the hostile and disrespectful environment that the Confederate flag promotes,” said Peasah, a junior at Free State and one of the students who drafted the petition.

Funding CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Still, the complexity of the new proposal left many people scratching their heads, trying to figure out which districts would be better or worse off than they are now, and whether it would be seen as acceptable when it’s reviewed again by the Supreme Court.

“If you look at what the court actually asked for, it would have been $71 million this school year and $38 million next year, so I’m not sure the way we’ve designed this that it would jibe with the adequacy piece (of the lawsuit),” said Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka.

But Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, said he was confident the bill would pass court muster because it is based on a

Flag CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The student petition followed an incident in January in which a Free State student flew a full-sized confederate flag from his pickup truck that he parked on school grounds.

Some students were upset by the flag, which was displayed from its makeshift flagpole for several days before school administration told the student he could no longer display it.

Peasah said that the Confederate flag’s presence on the school grounds endangers the quality of learning for students in the district and should be included with other banned expression.

“We, the students of the Lawrence public school district, fail to see how the district can ban hate mes-

formula used elsewhere in the state’s school funding system that the court has previously upheld.

The purpose of equalization aid is to subsidize the property tax levies of less wealthy districts so that all districts can raise comparable amounts of money with comparable tax rates.

The bill deals with equalization aid in two areas: local option budgets, which districts can choose to provide on top of their base, statefunded budgets, within limits; and capital outlay budgets, which are generally used for big-ticket purchases such as new equipment and furniture or building renovations.

Previously, each of those has been governed by different equalization formulas, ones that Masterson said were developed more for political reasons than for any real policy consideration. But last year, lawmakers repealed those sages on clothing, but not apply those restrictions to one of the most hateful messages in American history,” Peasah said. “We fail to see how we can have a ban on gang symbols, but not on those of white supremacy.”

School board President Vanessa Sanburn told the students Monday that the policy advisory committee would review the issue. In addition to Sanburn, the committee is made of up of school board member Shannon Kimball and Dave Cunningham, director of human resources and legal services for the district.

The committee met Tuesday to discuss the student petition. Sanburn told the Journal-World after the meeting that she personally agrees with the students and that the committee as a whole is thoroughly considering a districtwide ban of the flag.

The two new bills would pull capital outlay

and local option budget aid back out of the block grant and apply a single, uniform formula for calculating each type of aid.

Under the new formulas, most districts would receive more aid for capital outlay but substantially

“

I certainly want (the students) to recognize that the hesitation and discussion that we’re putting into it doesn’t mean that I don’t fully support where they’re coming from and don’t agree completely that the Confederate flag is inappropriate.”

— School board President Vanessa Sanburn

“I think, especially given the current political climate that we’re in where ideas of white supremacy and hate speech are gaining some momentum in certain political groups, it’s a scary time,” Sanburn said. “And as a board member and as a person who cares about these issues, I want to take a very vocal stand against that.”

However, Sanburn said she realizes that those concerns have to be balanced with freedom of speech, and the policy committee is consulting with legal

counsel as it considers a recommendation.

“At the same time, I think it’s important that we recognize our country has very strong laws about freedom of speech,” Sanburn said. “And I don’t want to make a decision as a board member that would tie us up in litigation and cost the district a ton of money defending a policy that may be unconstitutional. And so it’s a matter of figuring out where that balance lies.”

The reason that the student was disallowed

L awrence J ournal -W orld less for local option budgets. The net effect statewide would be a reduction of $59.4 million, compared with what districts are receiving this year. But that money, plus about $2 million more, would be redistributed to those districts that would otherwise lose money, holding them harmless from the change.

Under that plan, the Lawrence school district would gain $656,309 in capital outlay aid, but it would lose nearly $2.4 million in local option budget aid, for a net loss of $1.7 million. But that money would be replaced with $1.7 million in “hold harmless” money.

That new system would be in place only for the 2016-2017 school year.

Lawmakers are expected to adopt a new, long-term funding formula before the end of the 2017 session.

The Lawrence district has already adopted the highest local option budget allowed, roughly 33

percent of its general state aid. The loss of state aid in that category would result in the district having a smaller local option budget, although there would be more in its general operating budget.

The district could, however, raise its local option budget property tax to make up the difference, resulting in higher overall spending authority.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee plans to continue its hearing on the bill this morning, and could vote as early as this afternoon to send it to the full Senate. The House Appropriations Committee is working on a similar schedule.

Lawmakers are planning to adjourn the 2016 regular session on Thursday and will not return until late April for the annual wrap-up session.

from flying the flag was not because of any school rule or district policy that specifically prohibits the flag, but instead because administrators decided it was disrupting the learning environment.

Without a specific policy banning the flag, future decisions regarding its display would be made on a case-by-case basis.

Sanburn said she plans to arrange meetings between the policy advisory committee and students from both high schools who are involved with the petition. The dates for those meetings are not set, but Sanburn said she is hoping to schedule them for late April.

“We just want to make sure that we get some student representation as we discuss and make decisions about the recommendation that the policy subcommittee wants to bring to the board,” Sanburn said.

If the committee decides to recommend a districtwide ban, that proposal would be submitted to the school board for approval.

Sanburn said she is doesn’t want the multiple steps of the process to indicate a lack of support.

“I certainly want (the students) to recognize that the hesitation and discussion that we’re putting into it doesn’t mean that I don’t fully support where they’re coming from and don’t agree completely that the Confederate flag is inappropriate,” Sanburn said. “But I think there’s more to it than that and I’m anxious to engage in those conversations.”

The committee’s next meeting is April 5 at 9:30 a.m. at the district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Businessman to ask county to support installing traffic light at SLT intersection

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

A Lawrence businessman will ask the Douglas County Commission today to support his alternatives to closing access to the South Lawrence Trafficway from Kasold Drive, including the idea of a traffic light at the intersection.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has announced that in October it will eliminate Kasold Drive access to the South Lawrence Trafficway — which is also Kansas Highway 10 — as the eastern leg of the SLT opens. Douglas County Public Works Director Keith Browning said traffic on K-10 was expected to increase significantly with the SLT’s opening, and KDOT was concerned about safety issues at the at-grade Kasold Drive intersection about one mile west of U.S. Highway 59.

Frank Male, whose Lawrence Landscape has a nursery south of the intersection, said he would ask commissioners to send a letter of support for short-

and long-term alternatives to eliminating highway access from Kasold Drive, which is East 1150 Road south of the highway. He would ask the Lawrence City Commission for the same support at a later meeting, he said.

The short-term solution would be installation of a temporary traffic light at the intersection, which would stop traffic on the highway only when vehicles were waiting on the side streets, Male said.

The long-term solution would be construction of a Kasold Drive interchange when the west leg of K-10 is expanded to four lanes in the future.

Male said he would share with county commissioners plans for the interchange he had Landplan Engineering develop. The interchange’s separated-grade design would provide entry and exit lanes for eastbound and westbound K-10 traffic at Kasold Drive.

The plan would realign Kasold Drive/East 1150 Road about 100 yards to the west. It includes a frontage road south of the

highway from East 1150 Road to Wakarusa Drive.

KDOT currently is studying possible designs for an expansion of the SLT west of U.S. Highway 59. But there is no funding in place to expand the road, and KDOT officials have said the earliest a project could start would be 2020.

When the four-lane expansion is approved, KDOT plans a separatedgrade interchange to serve the Youth Sports Complex near the intersection of the SLT and Wakarusa Drive.

But Male noted that interchange would not provide direct access north into Lawrence or provide those south of the highway access to K-10.

Closing access from East 1150 Road to Kansas Highway 10 would force many in the area south of the highway to use County Road 458 and U.S. Highway 59 to get into Lawrence, Male said.

The added traffic would increase the danger at the at-grade CR 458/U.S. 59 intersection, which has no traffic light, he said.

The closure also would

add traffic to the Clinton Dam road, Male said.

He hoped KDOT would reconsider the alternatives with the letters of support from the two commissions, but said he wasn’t sure department officials could be swayed.

“I’ve been told KDOT can pretty much do what they want,” he said. “The ball is 100 percent in their court.”

The County Commission will meet at 4 p.m. today at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. — County reporter Elvyn Jones can be reached at 832-7166 and ejones@ljworld.com.

About 20 residents attended Monday’s Baldwin City Council meeting despite an agenda that had nothing requiring council members to vote.

The draw was Baldwin City Public Works Director Bill Winegar’s report on the status of negotiations with the Kansas Department of Transportation about proposed improvements to the U.S. Highway 56 corridor from First to Eisenhower streets.

In July 2015, the City Council hired BG Consultants to make application for Kansas Department of Transportation corridor management access construction funds to improve safety on that section of U.S. 56.

Early plans shared with the council last year indicated the proposed project would widen the highway to three lanes from First Street to the current Eisenhower Street alignment. It would reroute Eisenhower Street so that it aligns with Third Street to the south of the highway and move the U.S. 56 access to Washington Street to the east so it is halfway between Second and Third streets.

The proposal of most concern to residents after last summer’s discussion, however, was the proposed closure of through traffic

of Third Street with the installation of an over-theroadway signal at that location.

A final improvement would be the installation of a block of sidewalk on the west side of Eisenhower north of the highway.

Based on the U.S. 56/ High Street intersection project, it would probably be at least two years before work started on the proposed improvements, Winegar said. KDOT provided up to $775,000 for the High Street project with the city paying 60 percent of the $137,000 cost of engineering, design and right of way acquisition. Douglas County paid the remaining 40 percent of those costs.

on Washington Street from the highway to Ames Street.

Residents said the closure would funnel too much traffic onto First and Eisenhower streets and increase emergency response times.

The partial Washington Street closure remained part of a conceptual plan Winegar shared Monday with the City Council, as did the addition of a middle turn lane on the highway, construction of sidewalks on both sides of U.S. 56 along the section and rerouting of Eisenhower and Washington to the east.

Winegar noted, however, the city and KDOT were still in negotiations and no funding had been approved for the project.

New in the plans shared Monday was the replacement of the current highway crosswalk signal west

Effort to repeal Common Core fails

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

After the Kansas House spent more than three hours Tuesday debating a bill that would have repealed the Common Core curriculum standards for English language arts and math in the state, it failed to receive first-round approval by a vote of 44-78.

House Bill 2292 would have repealed the current standards, effective July 1, 2017, and it would have required the Kansas State Board of Education to develop new standards by that time.

In addition, though, the bill would have prohibited the use of any “federally-provided or required” set of standards, and it would have given the Legislature authority to review and approve any new standards the state board submits.

Supporters of the bill called the Common Core

standards an example of federal government meddling in state education policy.

But opponents said repealing the standards would have put Kansas out of step with the rest of the nation, and would have put Kansas students at a disadvantage when taking college entrance exams that are designed around the Common Core.

An indicator that the bill had little support in the House came early when a majority voted not to accept the committee report, a routine procedure that allows the House to debate the bill as it was amended in committee.

GOP leaders then considered sending it back to committee. But opponents of the bill later reversed their move and agreed to have a full debate.

Kansas was one of the states that took part in a consortium that de-

veloped the standards in 2008 and 2009. They were intended to raise academic standards nationwide to ensure that students would be prepared for college or the workplace by the time they graduate high school.

They replaced standards in place in many states that critics had argued were disconnected from the expectations of higher education and the business world.

The Kansas State Board of Education formally approved them in October 2010. But soon thereafter, the Obama administration made adoption of the standards, or others like them, a condition for states to qualify for certain kinds of competitive grants, leading to charges within conservative circles that they were part of a federal effort to take over state education policy.

Rep. Amanda Grosserode, R-Lenexa, argued that the new standards

are unpopular among parents and teachers throughout the state. But many opponents argued just the opposite, saying the parents and teachers they talk to fully support the new standards.

Opponents also argued that the bill might be unconstitutional because the Kansas Constitution gives the state board general authority for supervising K-12 education.

And they said abolishing them would put Kansas students at a competitive disadvantage because many national tests, including the ACT and SAT, are designed around the Common Core.

All four House members from Lawrence — Democrats Barbara Ballard, Boog Highberger and John Wilson; and Republican Tom Sloan — voted against the bill.

Legislating religious clubs and restrooms: How does it affect KU?

K

ansas lawmakers in the past week have advanced a couple of measures that could affect certain Kansas University populations: transgender students who need to go to the bathroom, and students who want to join a religious club they don’t necessarily agree with.

One was just signed into law, and I’m unqualified to guess whether the other is going anywhere, but I did do some poking around to find out how they compare with the status quo at KU. First, restrooms.

In short, two separate but identical bills proposed in the House and Senate would require transgender students at Kansas public schools and universities to use restrooms and locker rooms designated for their chromosomal sex at birth.

With help from KU spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, I determined that with the exception of a KU Libraries policy that prohibits use of library restrooms “for purposes other than which they are intended,” KU doesn’t currently have any rules or regulations about where people can go to the bathroom.

There are a number of single-occupancy restrooms on campus (often

Heard on the Hill

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

called family restrooms), some of which have signage specifying that they are gender-neutral — even though by definition they already are.

It doesn’t seem this bill would apply to those, but rather only restrooms that are designated for one sex or another.

The Kansas Board of Regents doesn’t have any overarching bathroom policies, either, but says federal laws prohibiting sex-based discrimination would dictate what’s required. According to a memo from the Regents legal team, transgender students seeking to use restrooms designated for the sex they identify as have repeatedly won court cases, and the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights has also ruled that they can use the restroom of their choice.

Next, religious clubs.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed this bill into law Tuesday, and it will take effect in July — although, according to The Associated Press, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled nearly six years ago that universities can require membership in such groups to be open to all. The bill will allow college religious groups to restrict membership to like-minded students.

Currently at KU, all registered KU organizations are open to all students, KU spokesman Joe Monaco said. Whether they actually receive university funding (clubs often get money in the form of student fee revenue) doesn’t matter, Monaco said — all registered KU organizations are eligible to request it so they’re all in the same category and follow the same rules.

There is an overarching Regents policy specifically addressing club membership. Relevant passages: “The established policy of the Board of Regents prohibits discrimination on the basis of age, race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, physical handicap or disability, status as a Vietnam Era Veteran, sexual orientation or other factors which cannot be lawfully considered, within the state universities. All

fraternal and campus related organizations shall follow this policy in the selection of their members, except the prohibition against sex discrimination shall not apply to social fraternities or sororities which are excluded from the application of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681 et seq.).”

“The right of organizations to establish standards for membership is acknowledged, provided that all students are afforded equal opportunity to meet those standards. Just as all students have the right to choose those with whom they would associate on the campus, an organization shall have the right to select its members subject to these principles.”

There are currently 36 registered KU organizations in the “Religious” category, according to a search of groups listed on RockChalkCentral. ku.edu. Those include lots of Christian groups, several Jewish ones, the Muslim Student Association and the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, to name a few.

— This is an excerpt from Sara Shepherd’s Heard on the Hill blog, which appears regularly on LJWorld.com.

Campus religious groups bill becomes law Topeka (ap) — Kansas’ conservative Republican governor signed legislation Tuesday allowing faith-based groups at college campuses to restrict membership to like-minded people, likely putting the state on a collision course with civil liberties groups.

The GOP-dominated Legislature approved the legislation earlier this month, even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled nearly six years ago that universities can require membership in such groups to be open to all. Supporters

have said the bill was a victory for the freedom to exercise religious beliefs, but opponents called it a veiled attempt to legalize discrimination.

Kansas already has a religious objections law that prevents state or local governments from limiting people’s freedom to express their religion, though that law doesn’t touch on organizations at universities. With Gov. Sam Brownback’s signature, Kansas becomes the second state after Oklahoma to have a collegespecific law.

“This is very good, narrow, targeted piece of legislation that will serve the betterment of our college campuses,” Brownback said.

The new law, which will take effect July 1, will prevent public colleges and universities from denying religious groups funds or campus resources for limiting their memberships.

Critics argue that the bill is far broader than its supporters acknowledge and will in effect force minority students and their parents to sup-

port groups that would actively discriminate against them. They said the new law will sanction discrimination not only against gays and lesbians, but based on race, gender or disabilities.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas is considering a legal challenge “very seriously,” said Micah Kubic, its executive director.

“It’s a step backward to a time when government was actively enabling discrimination against people based on who they are,” Kubic said.

Kansas Senate votes to retain policy on Planned Parenthood funding Topeka — Kansas legislators are moving to make permanent an annual budget policy that prevents the state from providing federal family planning dollars to Planned Parenthood.

The Senate approved a

bill Tuesday on a 31-9 vote, sending the measure to the House.

The legislation deals with federal family planning dollars for non-abortion services.

Lawmakers have included a provision in the state’s

annual budgets since 2011 saying that money must go first to public health departments and then to hospitals.

The goal was prevent any of the funds from going to Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Mis-

souri, which also provides abortions. Putting the policy into state law means lawmakers won’t have to keep renewing it.

A federal appeals court upheld the policy in 2014.

Planned Parenthood lost about $370,000 a year.

Senate declines to debate phaseout of sales tax on food

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

The Kansas Senate on Tuesday declined, for the time being, to debate a proposed constitutional amendment that would phase out the state sales tax on food over the next three years.

Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, proposed that amendment earlier in the session. But so far it had not received a committee hearing and was in danger of dying as the 2016 session winds to an end.

Holland made a motion on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday to force the bill to the top of the Senate calendar for immediate debate and vote.

But the motion, which required a two-thirds majority, fell six votes short, 21-19.

Had the motion passed, it would have needed another two-thirds m a j o r ity vote in both cham- Holland bers in order to be placed on a general election ballot for public approval.

Holland argued that since last year’s increase in the state sales tax rate to 6.5 percent, Kansas now has one of the highest sales tax rates on food in the country. Many other states, including Missouri, do not charge the full sales tax rate on food purchases, and some states exempt food entirely.

But Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, who chairs the Senate tax committee, said Democrats had a chance last year to lower the sales tax on food, but voted against the bill.

In fact, it was Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, who offered that amendment onto a Senate bill last year. And when House and Senate negotiators met in conference committee, that provision was included in one version of a compromise bill.

“I went over and made a point to talk to two of the senators across the aisle, face-to-face, and explain to them, this is your opportunity to lower the sales tax on food,” Dono-

Judges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“This bill clarifies the checks and balances on the branches of Kansas government,” said Sen. Greg Smith, an Overland Park Republican who is one of 18 sponsors of the measure.

But Rep. Steve Becker, a retired district court judge, said the bill is so broad that any time the court strikes down a law, it could be seen as usurping lawmakers’ power — allowing for judges to be impeached.

“It totally handicaps the Supreme Court,” the Buhler Republican said.

“It would render the Supreme Court useless, basically.”

Republicans hold 32 seats in the Senate, but 11 GOP senators joined all eight Democrats in voting against the bill, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, of Independence. A Washington-based group, Justice at Stake, called the measure “an affront to democracy.”

The bill’s supporters said they aren’t attacking the Supreme Court.

In committee, they added language creating a similar list of examples of impeachable offenses for

van said. “They smiled at me very politely and voted no.”

Donovan said Holland’s proposal was meant to back Gov. Sam Brownback and Republican lawmakers into a corner and force a repeal or roll-back of the income tax cuts of 2012 and 2013.

Eliminating sales tax on food would reduce state revenues by about $400 million a year. And because the exemption for food would be added to the Constitution, lawmakers would not be able to change it in future years without another constitutional amendment.

Holland did not dispute that, and he said a constitutional amendment would be preferable because it could not be vetoed by the governor. Once an amendment passes both chambers with a two-thirds majority, it goes directly onto a ballot without action from the governor.

“We’re going to pay for this exactly the way we pay for other sales tax reduction bills,” Holland said. “It’s going to have to be cuts or a combination of reworking Gov. Brownback’s income tax cuts from 2012.”

But he denied that reducing the sales tax on food would be the cause of future budget problems.

“Let’s not kid ourselves,” he said. “We are in a financial mess now.

This sales tax resolution before you has nothing to do with that. What we are asking in this resolution, by my motion today, is simply to have a debate on the floor of the Senate to talk about the feasibility and how we might put forward some sales tax relief for Kansas citizens.

Obviously there’s a desire to do that.”

Donovan said there are at least two bills in the tax committee that would reduce the sales tax on food, including one that would make up the revenue loss through “other things on the income side.”

He said he intends for the committee to work on those bills after lawmakers return from their spring break in late April.

the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state.

Still, as the Senate considered the measure, supporters repeatedly suggested that the Supreme Court has overstepped its authority in some of its decisions.

“We live in an era when people believe the independence of the courts and absolute power are synonymous,” said Sen. Mitch Holmes, a St. John Republican and another sponsor of the bill.

In other states, conservative groups have spent heavily in contested judicial elections, most recently in Arkansas.

But in Kansas, justices are appointed by the governor after a commission led by lawyers screens applicants and picks three finalists, with no role for legislators.

Justices face “retention” elections every six years, remaining in office unless more than 50 percent of voters vote against them.

Four of Kansas’ seven Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, who served from 2003 to 2009, and two by her predecessor, Bill Graves, a moderate Republican. Only one was appointed by current Gov. Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican.

KU activist facing drug charges fails to appear Lights A & Sirens Kansas University student and former leader of KU’s Black Student Union who recently accused police of racial discrimination did not appear in Lawrence Municipal Court Tuesday morning for an arraignment on drug charges.

Kennedi Grant, 20, was arrested Feb. 5 on suspicion of possession Grant of marijuana, a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

Grant was released from the Douglas County Jail shortly after her arrest when she posted a $5,000 bond. Her first appearance in Douglas County District Court was canceled after the case was referred to Lawrence Municipal

Fort Riley — Officials say Fort Riley’s long-delayed new hospital is one step closer to opening and could do so by the end of July.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials told U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp’s office that since last Wednesday, the Army has been able to begin using the facility while the remaining construction is completed.

The Corps says the following 120 days are allotted for initial outfitting and transition, including finishing touches, such as installing fixtures and equipment.

If all goes according to schedule, the building will likely open for patients in mid- to late July.

The new Irwin Army Community Hospital was most recently set to open in January, but officials held back the date after pre-final inspections revealed a list of deficiencies.

The Salina Journal reports that the arrest happened early Monday at a Taco John’s. Capt. Chris Trocheck says the suspect told police as he was being arrested that a second person was still inside the restaurant.

Trocheck says the police department’s SWAT officers were called in to clear the building and found no one else inside.

Police were summoned after the manager heard a banging sound inside and reported that someone might be trying to break into the safe. The suspect fell through the ceiling when officers entered the restaurant.

Unwanted visitor in the showers warrants complaint Dear Annie: This evening, I went to the local YMCA to swim.

When I was through, I showered, as I always do, since I go back to work afterward. Near the end of the shower, I removed my swimsuit and found a boy of about 8 looking through the curtain at me. I yelled at him and he stopped, but a few seconds later, a woman (I think it was his grandmother) looked in, too. I told her I’d like just a few more minutes, and I’ll admit, my tone wasn’t that friendly. I got out of the shower and locker room as fast as I could.

Annie, that boy was too old to be in the women’s locker room.

My question is, was I out of line for showering in the nude in a public locker room? This particular shower had four nozzles, so I assume other people would feel free

But both the boy and the older woman were not showering. They were just peeking in. That strikes me as rude.

Scriptwriters take aim at reality TV Layla stops grieving and starts scheming to steal Avery from Juliette on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). If anybody has the right to lash out, it’s the put-upon alt-country chanteuse played by Aubrey Peebles.

In many ways, Layla’s character has been the writers’ way of showing their disdain for the cynicism and emptiness of reality television. On “Nashville,” Layla emerges from an “American Idol”-type series only to be treated like a joke by “real” musicians.

She later appears on a reality series modeled on the old MTV show “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.” There she discovers that everything about her relationship with Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) is bogus. While he’s fond of her, he uses their relationship and, eventually, their marriage to hide his closeted homosexuality.

Later, Layla becomes romantically involved with scheming producer Jeff Fordham (Oliver Hudson), a man who manipulates and abuses her and nearly kills her. This plot development made little sense, except to showcase the evil machinations of the corporate interests who have all but killed “real” country music.

Throughout all of these convolutions, Layla’s feelings, while misguided, have always been depicted as genuine. Despite her Harvard acceptance letter, she just wasn’t bright enough to see that everything around her was fake.

There’s been a long history of scripted dramas depicting reality TV people as the bogeymen. On a very basic level, reality television has eaten into the schedule and reduced the need for scripted shows. Over the years, “Law & Order” and its “SVU” spin-off have included several plots about murders, rapes and predators in the reality TV world.

No series has been as caustic in its depiction of the genre as Lifetime’s “UnREAL.” There, the producers go to cruel lengths, even well-researched psychological sadism, to evince “drama” from the contestants on “The Bachelor”-like series.

“UnREAL” is also unstinting in its depiction of how little the show’s makers think of their intended audience.

This stark message has made “UnREAL” a bitter pill for some.

Is it all that surprising that not many people have shown up to watch a series about people who hate their jobs, hate themselves and especially despise their audience?

The first season of “UnREAL” is streaming on Hulu. A second season is in the works.

Having grown up in a crazy family with full siblings, stepsiblings and half siblings, things like this were a challenge.

My dad liked to spoil the three of us who were his biological kids, but my stepdad was more practical. He and my mother both tried hard to keep our household “equal,’’ so my full siblings and I left some of our stuff at my father’s.

Political paralysis How can the federal government function properly when politics takes precedence over sound policy?

I

t’s sad to see Merrick Garland, a respected judge and highly qualified nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, caught in the political morass that is paralyzing Washington, D.C. Politics never is far from the minds of our elected federal officials, but voters expect those officials to rise above partisan interests when needed to ensure the smooth operation of government. Unfortunately, in this contentious election year, political calculations are taking precedence over sound decision-making.

Even before Garland was nominated, Senate President Mitch McConnell vowed that the Senate wouldn’t consider the nomination of anyone named to replace Justice Antonin Scalia. Many senators, including Kansas Sens. Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, support the decision to block any Supreme Court nomination in the final year of President Obama’s term. Interestingly, Roberts was one of 76 senators who voted in favor of Garland’s appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1997.

But, sometimes, things change quickly.

Less than a week before Obama announced his choice of Garland, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, suggested Obama “could easily name Merrick Garland, who is a fine man.

He probably won’t do that because his appointment is about the election.”

At this point, it’s clear that political calculations are far more important than Garland’s qualifications for the job. Obama undoubtedly weighed the political ramifications of his appointment and, in some ways, could be using Garland as a political sacrificial lamb.

The Senate’s handling of the nomination almost certainly will be guided by what Senate leaders think will help senators seeking election more: acting on the nomination or simply ignoring it.

Senators who want to block the nomination say that duty should go to the next president, but data compiled by news agencies show that, since 1900, the Senate has voted on eight Supreme Court nominees during an election year and confirmed six of those. There also appears to be plenty of time to decide this issue before the end of Obama’s term. Obama has almost 10 months left in his term, and the Senate has never taken more than 125 days to vote on a nomination. The average duration between appointment and the confirmation, rejection or withdrawal of a candidate is 25 days.

What kind of precedent would be set by the Senate refusing to consider Garland’s nomination? Obama had 342 days remaining in his term when Justice Scalia died. If that’s too short a time, what is the limit? A year? Two years? How long should politics keep a seat on the Supreme Court empty?

Republicans are pointing to the “Biden rule” that harkens back to remarks Vice President Joe Biden made in 1992 arguing against considering any Supreme Court nominations at the end of President George Bush’s term. There were no vacancies on the court or nominations to consider at that point, but maybe Democrats would have followed the same course as Republicans now are taking. Democrats did employ hardball tactics in rejecting the appointment of Robert Bork to the court in 1987.

Is this just a high-stakes game of tit for tat? If so, how can the nation break that cycle? Garland is a nominee who, in all likelihood, would have been easily confirmed in a more statesman-like time. Americans need look no further than the current presidential election to see voters’ dissatisfaction with a federal government that puts political agendas ahead of the nation’s welfare. It’s little wonder they are looking for a change.

Education can help fight terrorism Molenbeek, Belgium — Four days before Tuesday’s grisly bomb attacks in Brussels, the police raided a shabby three-story brick row house in this heavily Moroccan working-class district of Brussels. There they captured Salah Abdeslam, the last surviving member of the terror group that killed 130 people in Paris in November.

Abdeslam had eluded police for four months and no one in Moleenbeek betrayed him. Nor did anyone warn police about Tuesday’s plans to bomb Brussels’ airport and metro.

So the new attacks raise the same frustrating question: How to deal with the social pathology that has made Molenbeek a notorious jihadi base from which youths travel to Syria and hatch plots to attack Europe?

Earlier this week I visited Molenbeek, and found two different communities, one isolated and resentful and the other struggling to advance with insufficient help from the outside. The key to halting the incubation of terror lies in whether officials can offer “the other Molenbeek” a more hopeful future — one that shields its children from the fantasies sold by the shills for jihad.

At present, those children grow up isolated from the world outside their ghetto.

On the surface, Molenbeek doesn’t look scary. Crowds of locals, including many women in hijab, jostle along a main street lined with halal butcher shops, inexpensive clothing and household goods stores, barber shops, and cafes, where unemployed men gather to sip tea.

But residents say that Molenbeek has changed dramatically over the past

All over Europe, but especially in Belgium, officials are wrestling with how to reach out to alienated and culturally isolated Arab-European youths.” decade, losing its onetime diversity of cultures. Locals no longer mingle with other Belgians.

“This municipality has the highest population density in Brussels and one of the most youthful populations,” I was told over coffee by Sarah Turine, deputy mayor of Molenbeek. She says the schools are poor, and the dropout rate high, while unemployment reaches 40 to 50 percent in the 18- to 25-year-old age group.

“Recruiters from Syria come looking for them (unemployed youths, and), hang out in cafes and mosques to talk to them. They give them a sense of purpose,” Turine said.

Abdeslam was a typical school dropout: He trafficked in drugs with his brother (who was also one of the Paris attackers).

There was no hint he was ever involved in radicalism, nor did he attend a mosque.

But a childhood friend who had gone to Syria in 2014 recruited the brothers.

All over Europe, but es-

pecially in Belgium, officials are wrestling with how to reach out to alienated and culturally isolated Arab-European youths.

After many locals left for Syria in the summer of 2013, the Molenbeek municipality set up an outreach program to help families whose children “were in danger of leaving.” They trained social workers to discredit what the recruiters are saying.

Clearly these programs are insufficient.

“What can we do to manage these young people who prefer death to life?” asked Yves Goldstein, cabinet chief to the Brussels regional president, who addressed the German Marshal Fund’s annual Brussels Forum. Goldstein’s main concern: the failure to integrate isolated urban ghettoes such as Molenbeek into the wider world.

Goldstein believes that reaching children ages 7 to 12 — before they quit school — is essential. “We have to create more diverse schools, housing, education, but local governments have no money,” he said in frustration.

In other words, Belgian officials are spending hundreds of millions for security but haven’t the funds to bolster schools and expand cultural offerings for youth who are prey for jihadi recruiters.

Yet just three blocks from Abdeslam’s hideout, I found a hint of the other Molenbeek, the majority of whom are looking for a better life and fear that their children might be wooed away to fight jihad.

The symbol of this other Molenbeek is a new cafe, Le Palais de Balkis, which displays a level of diversity that had leeched out of the district.

There I saw Muslims of all ages, including a fam-

ily with a heavily covered mother and chic young girls in hijab, along with nonArab Belgian “bobos” (slang for “bourgeois bohemiens”) whom one wouldn’t expect to see in the neighborhood.

Manager Karim Bazah said, “For me this is the real Molenbeek. I was born here.

I want to build good things.”

Aziz Mouaouia, a factory worker at a local Audi plant, who had stopped for a snack, summed up for me the untapped possibilities in the community.

“Molenbeek is a victim of the political failure to integrate,” he states flatly.

He hopes his daughters will go to university but “it is difficult because teachers never show up and it is very hard to fire them. At 12 to 13 years old, the students drop out.”

“Young people want to live the dream they see in the movies,” he said, but “when they realize it is impossible, they turn to petty crime. Then if they try to reintegrate, society rejects them.

“This is the perfect opportunity for these recruiters to pick these guys up and capture them emotionally.

Our parents’ organization is trying to organize projects to help the mothers of these guys. The mothers are scared (of the recruiters).

They say, ‘I would prefer to see my son in prison.’”

Mouaouia suggests higher goals: “I say, ‘He could be a doctor.’”

The riddle of Molenbeek is how to convince more youths that they, too, could be doctors. One way would be to use some of the millions allotted to security to beef up the schools.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 23, 1916: “A petition is now being circuyears lated in Lawrence asking ago the city commissioners IN 1916 to remove the ban on firecrackers imposed by a recent ordinance, and permit the town to indulge in the orgies of an old fashioned Fourth of July this year. The petition is said to urge that the patriotic spirit of the ‘old time’ Fourth of July has been missing since the ordinance was placed on the city’s books that prevents the time-honored form of celebration.”

Garland would shift court to the left Whenever I hear the words “centrist” or “moderate,” especially when they come from The New York Times and The Washington Post, the words “liberal” and “cover-up” immediately come to mind.

Since President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, a confirmed conservative, the words “centrist” and “moderate” have been repeated ad nauseam. They were repeated so often, in fact, that they resembled the sound of a skipping needle across a vinyl LP with dust in its grooves.

Even the reliably liberal New York Times, while repeating the centrist and moderate line, acknowledged that Garland’s addition to the court “would make the justice at the center of the court more liberal than at any point in nearly 50 years.”

This is why Republicans are within their constitutional rights to refuse to grant Garland a hearing or a vote, especially since, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll, “two-outof-three likely U.S. voters (67 percent) are angry at

Cal Thomas tcaeditors@tribune.com

the current policies of the federal government.” Senate Republicans rightly believe a new president should make the critical next appointment to the court.

At the announcement ceremony in the Rose Garden, one could see a tableau of liberalism on display. Does anyone believe those senators, who included uber-leftists Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy and Dianne Feinstein, would vote to confirm someone who might not reflect their liberal worldview, including the belief that the Constitution is a “living document” to be tampered with according to the whims of the age? Would a liberal Democrat vote to confirm anyone who might impose restrictions on abortion or rollback same-sex marriage?

A Wall Street Journal edi-

torial unmasked the liberal cover-up over Garland, even while other editorialists, columnists and broadcast news anchors extolled his supposed virtues: “Judge Garland’s 19-year tenure on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals demonstrates a reliable vote for progressive causes, with the arguable exception of criminal law. Two issues in particular make the point: the Second Amendment and deference to the growing power of the administrative state.”

The president probably knows that Garland’s nomination isn’t going anywhere and that like so many other things in this administration Garland will be used for political ends in the election. It is amusing to hear liberals claim Republicans are “obstructionists” after all the obstructing Democrats have done. Democratic roadblocks extend back to Robert Bork’s confirmation hearings and include Sen. Barack Obama’s opposition to Justice Samuel Alito for reasons even he admitted were solely political.

I suspect, not since John F. Kennedy named Byron R. White to the Supreme Court has there been a justice who

disappointed Democrats.

White was one of two justices who dissented in the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion case. The Republican record has been far more checkered, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower’s naming of Earl Warren, a nomination he came to regret, calling it “the biggest d—n fool mistakze” he ever made.

Perhaps Republicans will cave on the president’s nomination of Garland because they have done so before. Backbone is not a word normally associated with often-squishy Republicans, but so far they appear to be standing as one. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seems unconcerned that Republicans might lose their majority should voters punish them for refusing to confirm Garland. That’s something Democrats and their big media allies have alluded to during the campaign.

Meanwhile, only believe Merrick Garland is not a liberal, if you believe President Obama and most Senate Democrats are moderates.

USA TODAY

Major cities across the U.S. scrambled to harden their security nets after the latest terror attacks — this time, in Brussels — left dozens dead and renewed fear that urban transit stations are easy and attractive targets for suicide bombers.

Police in Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles reported stepped-up security at rail stations and airports. New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio pledged that New Yorkers “will not live in fear.”

“NYPD is on increased alert across our city,” De Blasio said.

“While we take this threat seriously ... our lives will continue today in honor of those lost to terrorism.”

NEW YORK

Intelligence officials assured Americans that there is no evidence of a similar attack being planned here, but experts say the USA’s relatively open transportation system could make it vulnerable to attacks like the ones that struck Brussels. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s urban assault in Belgium, which brought the capital city’s airport and downtown metro to a terrifying halt, killing more than 30 and wounding at least 150 as screaming commuters dived for cover from shards of bomb shrapnel.

Police at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey increased security at each of the region’s three area airports — John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark — and at bridges, tunnels and bus terminals.

At Manhattan’s busy Penn Station, police checked morning commuters’ briefcases and backpacks. The city’s massive police department deployed additional

‘I could feel the building move’

Eyewitnesses recount moments of terror at airport and subway.

IN NEWS

BRUSSELS Explosions at an airport and a downtown metro stop during morning rush hour rocked the Belgian capital Tuesday, killing at least 34 people, wounding more than 150 and shutting down all public transportation.

Terror alerts rose across Europe, in the USA and around the world.

Belgium’s federal prosecutor confirmed the two blasts at the airport and a third at the metro station were terrorist attacks.

The metro station is located near buildings that house European Union institutions in central Brussels. “We were fearing terrorist attacks, and that has now happened,” Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said.

A couple with connections to Tennessee were reported missing while a former Oakland University basketball center was injured.

Sebastien Bellin, who was born in Brazil, had leg surgery and was scheduled for more, OU coach Greg Kampe said.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement to the Amaq news agency. “Islamic State fighters opened fire inside Zaventem Airport before several of them detonated their explosive belts,” the statement said, adding that a “martyrdom bomber detonated his explosive belt in the Maelbeek metro station.”

The attack follows the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in November’s attacks in Paris who was captured in Brussels on Friday after a four-month manhunt.

A U.S. federal law enforcement official said it was likely that the assaults had been long planned but were accelerated after Abdeslam’s arrest.

The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly, discounted the notion that the attacks were a form of retaliation.

Rather, they might have been accelerated out of concern that Abdeslam would cooperate with Belgian investigators.

President Obama, speaking in Havana on the third day of a Latin American tour, said the United States stands with Belgium, and the attack is “yet another reminder that the world must unite ... in fighting against the scourge of terrorism.”

Water systems continue to violate safety standards Report says EPA must improve compliance Laura Ungar and Mark Nichols USA TODAY

More than three-quarters of small-community water systems across the nation that had the most serious health-related violations of federal safe drinking water regulations still were violating those rules three years later, according to a federal report released Tuesday.

The Environmental Protection Agency needs to do more to ensure that the small-community systems, which serve more than 24 million people, stay in compliance, said the report from the EPA’s Office of Inspector General.

“The IG’s recommendations will be added to our ongoing efforts to address non-compliance of small drinking water systems nationally,” EPA spokeswoman Monica Lee said in a statement.

The report comes a few days after a USA TODAY NETWORK investigation focused on lead contamination in public water systems and found nearly 2,000

A USA TODAY NETWORK investigation found nearly 2,000 systems across the USA with excessive lead levels.

Some water systems have trouble meeting standards.

systems across the USA with excessive lead levels from 20122015.

About 48% of the systems in the NETWORK’s analysis meet

the OIG report’s description of small-community water systems, serving 3,300 people or fewer.

The OIG report looked at violations overall, not just those involving lead. Contaminants may include bacteria, nitrates, arsenic and copper, all of which pose health risks if people ingest excessive levels in water.

Nationally, the EPA classified 2,252 small-community water systems as serious violators in October 2011, including 193 systems with the most serious problems, according to the report.

Top-tier violations require that the public be notified within 24 hours of a water system discovering them.

Out of those 193 systems with the most serious violations, only 43, or 22%, were back in compliance within three years — meaning 78% were not.

Almost half of the 193 most serious violators were in Kansas, Texas and Puerto Rico.

CUBAN VIEWERS PRAISE OBAMA’S ADDRESS President goes beyond just ‘the blockade’ to share vision of island’s future

Guillermo Isaac Martinez watches President Obama’s speech on Tuesday.

Sitting under a portrait of his grandmother, Angel Cuza watches President Obama's speech inside his home in Old Havana on Tuesday.

Alan Gomez USA TODAY

As President Obama stood in a theater in Old Havana on Tuesday and praised the young, entrepreneurial Cubans who are changing the island’s future, Angel Cuza was watching on his TV a few blocks away and let out a chuckle.

“Like the young people who took down Batista?” said Cuza, referring to Fidel Castro’s guerrillas who took down the former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1959. “They were kids, too.”

As Obama talked about how it was up to the Cuban people, and not the United States, to improve the country’s situation, Cuza’s friend pulled his cigar out of his mouth and nodded his head.

“Exactly,” Guillermo Isaac Martinez said. “Exactly.”

Cubans throughout this capital city praised Obama’s speech, delivered at the Grand Theater of Havana and broadcast in its entirety by Cuban media.

People huddled around TV sets and radios to listen and were overwhelmed that they were hearing directly from a U.S. president standing on their soil.

Cuza and Martinez, longtime friends who are now partners in an multi-city domino league, have plenty of reservations about the United States and the recent diplomatic opening that allowed for Obama’s historic trip to the island. Neither of them feel that Cuba needs to adopt the kind of U.S.-style government that Obama highlighted in his speech; both are perfectly content with Cuba’s communist model.

“The system is good, it’s solid,” said Martinez, 56. “We have free education, free health care, peoHAVANA

ple have liberties that they don’t have in most places in the world.”

The two friends looked exasperated when Obama spoke about the need to improve Cuba’s human rights record.

“We shouldn’t mix human rights with politics,” Cuza said, using nearly the exact phrase Cuban President Raúl Castro used the day before.

But Cuza, a former member of Castro’s military who spent decades working in Cuban prisons, changed his tone when the president started talking about ways to improve the Cuban economy.

Ever since Fidel Castro stepped down and elevated his brother to the presidency in 2008, Raúl Castro has instituted a series of economic changes, allowing people to buy and sell their homes and cars, and to work outside the state-run economy as self-employed entrepreneurs.

Some call those changes a shift toward capitalism. Cubans refer to them as “perfecting the socialist model.”

“You can call it socialism, capitalism, whatever you want,” Cuza

said.

“What I want is improvement.”

The two friends then started lamenting how bad their economic situation has become.

Martinez, a mechanic who fixes ferry boats that run across Havana Harbor, said he makes 320 Cuban pesos a month — roughly 12 U.S. dollars a month. Cuza, who retired from the military and now works as a maintenance worker at a school, said he gets even less — about $10 a month.

“What am I supposed to live on the rest of the month?” Cuza said.

That’s why Martinez was happy to hear Obama talk about ways the United States can help young people in Cuba start and expand businesses. Martinez praised the talent on the island and said they just needed the opportunity to flourish on a global level.

“Raúl is preparing to pass things on to the younger generation,” Martinez said.

Obama got a good laugh out of the two friends when he tried to muster his best Spanish to talk about the ingenuity and resourcefulness Cubans have be-

come famous for. Obama turned to an old Cuban saying to make his point: El Cubano inventa del aire. Or, “The Cuban invents things out of thin air.”

To that, Martinez grabbed a chair next to him and said, “He’s right! I can turn this into an airplane if I wanted to.”

After the speech was done, they sat still for a moment before marveling at what they had just seen on Cuza’s crackling TV. Cuza said he was excited to be talking about the United States without the economic embargo being the first and only point of discussion.

“The only thing we talked about was the blockade,” he said, using the word the Cuban government uses for the economic embargo. “That’s why it’s so good to hear about all these other things, to talk about all these other things.”

And with that, Martinez turned to his friend and jokingly quoted a line Obama used in his speech.

Todos somos Americanos.

officers throughout the city, mainly to crowded areas and busy transit locations “out of an abundance of caution” and to provide “public reassurance,” New York Police Department (NYPD) spokesman J. Peter Donald said.

Police Commissioner William Bratton said a special police unit is now permanently assigned to the Times Square subway station, but the Tuesday deployment was planned in advance of the Brussels assault.

Worldwide, terrorists have targeted railway systems for more than a decade: In 2004, they bombed a commuter train in Madrid, killing 191 people and injuring 2,000. In 2005, suicide bombers killed 52 people in the London Underground and on a double-decker bus.

Like many nationwide, New York’s transit system is vulnerable. The city’s massive, five-borough subway system, which in 2014 carried more than 1.75 billion riders, or about 5.6 million riders each weekday, features more than 1,000 entrances and exits. That makes it much more open than the typical U.S. airport, with its checkpoints and tight security, said U.S. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. “We can never have the same level of security on trains as we do on planes,” said King, who supports more railway canine units and random searches.

Nationwide, many more passengers travel by rail than plane — five times as many daily, a November report by the Congressional Research Service found: In 2014, passengers took 5 billion rides on subway, commuter and intercity trains.

By comparison, travelers take about 730 million airline flights each year.

If cities moved to screen even a portion of those rail passengers, experts say, the costs could be high.

The Transportation Security Administration estimates that it spends $7 on screening for each airline passenger, a prohibitive cost for any subway or commuter rail system, said Brian Michael Jenkins, director of the National Surface Transportation Security Center at the Mineta Transportation Institute.

Add a 10- to 15-minute wait — shorter than what is typical in today’s airport security lines — and “it would destroy public surface transportation,” he said.

People gather at a growing memorial at Place de la Bourse in Brussels to pay tribute to the victims of the terror attacks that occurred earlier Tuesday.

‘There was panic’: Eyewitnesses speak BRUSSELS Explosions at the Brussels airport and a downtown metro stop rocked the city Tuesday, killing dozens.

Here’s a look at the chaotic scene in Brussels from people who witnessed the attack:

Alex Rossi, a journalist for Sky News who was in the duty-free area of the airport at the time of the explosions, told the British broadcaster: “There was panic, people trying to find shelter where they were after we heard those two explosions. I could feel the building move. There was also dust and smoke as well.”

The mover, in his early 50s, was at work with his colleagues in a building next to the Maelbeek metro station when they heard an explosion.

“We ran outside, and helped evacuate the people there who came out,” Devilez said. “We couldn’t go in further because of the smoke. We were able to help some 30 people from the exit we were at they all had dust on their faces; some had their hairs

Increasing the number of security personnel does cause terrorists “to back off,” Jenkins said, noting research on terrorists who survived their own attacks. But he said educational campaigns encouraging travelers and transportation workers to report suspicious activity also work.

Actually, said Jeff Price, a transportation security expert and associate professor at Metro

State University in Denver, such screening could also make rail systems more attractive terrorism targets.

Large crowds backed up at crammed train stations waiting to get through checkpoints create bigger targets.

“There would have to be massive changes in facilities throughout the U.S., and ultimately, we would just end up creating more crowds for

“Schools are closed, no one is allowed to leave,” she said. “In fact, no one allowed out of wherever they are. All you can hear is sirens and streets are completely deserted.”

When asked if she wanted to leave Belgium for Spain, she noted this is not just a problem in Belgium.

“No point going back to Spain,” she said. “This is not just a Belgium problem, it is a European problem. We would not be safer elsewhere.”

She said hospitals are calling for blood donors.

bombers to attack,” he said.

Instead, the TSA posts highprofile canine teams with local police in subway and train stations at a small fraction of the cost teams stationed at airports.

In Washington D.C., the city’s subway system announced it would conduct more canine sweeps and patrols Tuesday. The city’s police chief, Cathy Lanier, said that police in the nation’s cap-

ital are “at a heightened state of alert at all times,” but she urged local residents to be vigilant in wake of the attacks and report anything unusual. “If you see something, say something,” she said.

That tracks with a Mineta Transportation Institute study of worldwide incidents, which found that nearly one in 10 thwarted bombings on trains, buses and ferries was discovered by passengers or workers before the bomb detonated.

“The reason for that appears to be the effectiveness of these seesomething, say-something campaigns,” Mineta’s Jenkins said.

In Chicago on Tuesday, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the city remained on alert, but he stressed that there were “no known threats.” Police increased their presence at airports, transportation hubs and other high-profile locations, said Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Emanuel said Chicago “will continue standing with the Belgian people both today and in the difficult days ahead as they move forward in their healing process.”

Boston officials strengthened security on public transit systems and at airports, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said.

Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said while there was no specific threat in Boston, “all department personnel are advised to be extremely vigilant as they go about their duties and to pay particular attention to all transportation hubs.”

President Obama, visiting Havana, on Tuesday said the attacks were “another reminder we must unite” in the fight against terrorism.

“We will do whatever is necessary to support our friends in Belgium,” Obama said.

Ex-mayor of Toronto Rob Ford dies at 46 Stripped of powers after 2013 scandal

Gregg Zoroya and Adam Kovac USA TODAY

Rob Ford, the once eccentric mayor of Toronto whose reign was marked by bombast and substance abuse, died Tuesday after battling a rare, aggressive cancer the past two years, his family announced. He was 46.

Ford made international headlines after a 2013 scandal in which he admitted to using crack cocaine, public drunkenness, and drinking and driving, prompting colleagues to strip him of some of his mayoral powers.

The scandal vaulted Ford onto the stage of the outrageous. But he remained popular in Toronto. His followers called themselves the “Ford Nation,” and he aimed for a second run as mayor.

He was a strong AFP/GETTY IMAGES candidate for Rob Ford re-election, according to the Toronto Star. In the fall of 2014, Ford announced he had a rare form of cancer called liposarcoma that grows in the fat cells, and he had a tumor in his abdomen.

The diagnosis forced him to drop his re-election campaign. He re-emerged on the political scene in October 2014, winning by a large margin his old Toronto City Council seat.

His chief of staff, Dan Jacobs, said Monday that Ford was receiving palliative care after the former mayor had not responded to chemotherapy.

“With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Ford family announces the passing of their beloved son, brother, husband and father,” Jacobs said Tuesday in a statement.

Toronto Mayor John Tory said the city was reeling from the news. “I know there were many affected by his gregarious nature and approach to public service,” he said.

“It is my sincere hope that Canadians will remember Rob Ford for his enduring love for his community and country,” said Rona Ambrose, interim leader of Canada’s Conservative Party.

“His followers were willing to forgive him a lot,” said Andrew Sancton, political science professor at Western University in London, Ontario. “They understood he was a human who made mistakes and would apologize for them.”

The Arizona Republic

Terror attacks that killed dozens in Brussels on Tuesday provided a somber backdrop to Arizona’s presidential primary, which the candidates viewed as a potentially crucial battle of the 2016 Republican and Democratic White House races.

All five candidates still in contention paused their campaigning to react to the attacks.

Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner who had been running TV ads in Arizona touting his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from traveling to the USA, tweeted, “I have proven to be far more correct about terrorism than anybody- and it’s not even close.

Hopefully AZ and UT will be voting for me today!”

In addition to Arizona’s primary, Republicans and Democrats held caucuses in Utah, while Democrats caucused in Idaho.

Ted Cruz, a Texas senator favored to win in Utah, said the West no longer can afford “to deny this enemy exists out of a combination of political correctness and fear.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has not actively competed for Arizona, denounced the latest round of terror strikes. “We must also redouble our efforts with our allies to identify, root out and destroy the perpetrators of such acts of evil,” he said.

Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of State who has led Bernie Sanders in Arizona polls in the Democratic race, said, “The people of Brussels, of Europe and of the world will not be intimidated by these vicious killers.”

Sanders, a Vermont senator who has aggressively campaigned in Arizona, called the Brussels attacks “another cowardly attempt to terrorize innocent civilians.”

It was unclear early Tuesday

how much, if at all, the Brussels terrorism weighed on the minds of Democratic and Republican voters in Arizona as they endured long lines — in some cases, they reported waits from 90 minutes to two hours or more.

A cost-cutting decision in Maricopa County — Arizona’s most populous county — to downsize to 60 polling places from more than 200 in 2012 may have contributed to the logistical nightmare at some sites.

Joshua Hart, 20, of Phoenix waited in a long line that snaked around the Church of the Beatitudes in north-central Phoenix.

A Democrat, he planned to vote for Sanders, saying he speaks to the issues Hart most cares about: distribution of wealth and income inequalities in the workplace.

“You have clear separation between the higher class and lower class,” Hart said. “I’d like to see them closer together.”

Phil Garcia, 85, of Phoenix, a retired Department of Defense employee, planned on casting a vote

for Clinton.

Garcia said he “hates those Trump” ads and views the GOP front-runner as a “con-artist” because of his business practices and the controversies surrounding Trump University.

Many pro-Trump voters cited the New York billionaire’s controversial immigration policies, such as his promised border wall built at Mexico’s expense; his perceived economic prowess; and his anti-establishment swagger.

“We need an outsider who will get things done,” Republican Phil Wyatt, 38, said.

Chris Rohman, 45, a Mesa Republican, voted for Trump because he represents “a change in D.C.’s establishment handpicked candidates.”

Bill Holder, 65, a lawyer in Phoenix, waited 90 minutes to cast a vote for John Kasich.

“He’s the only moderate Republican left,” he said.

Ukrainian pilot Nadezhda Savchenko, 34, was sentenced Tuesday by a Russian court to 22 years in prison for complicity to murder in the 2014 deaths of two Russian journalists and several civilians, Russian state media reported.

Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko offered to exchange two Russian prisoners being held in his country for the return of Savchenko.

At the sentencing, the judge said Savchenko — Ukraine’s first female military pilot — will also have to pay a fine for crossing into Russia illegally. Her sentence will start from the date of detention, June 23, 2014, Russia’s TASS news agency reported.

TERROR’S SHOCK ON STOCKS USUALLY PROVES FLEETING As attacks become more common, their impact on markets becomes more muted

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

TERROR IMPACT ON STOCKS WANES

If recent history is a guide, the latest terrorist attack in Brussels, while a terrible human tragedy, won’t scare stock investors into selling or keep the stock market down for long.

The impact of terror attacks on financial markets has become less dramatic and far more muted in recent years, compared with the massive sell-off after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, when the broad U.S. stock market tumbled nearly 5% in the first trading day after the attack and was down nearly 12% five trading days after planes hijacked by terrorists brought down the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.

Indeed, as terror attacks become more commonplace, their shock value has diminished. A list of terrorist-related events since 1979 shows that the stock market impact from terrorist events fades within 10 days, according to data from Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Asset Management Group.

“Economies and markets tend to adjust and become desensitized to terror attacks over time,” Stone says. “The fact remains that the impact of terror attacks on the market has always faded over time.”

David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors, agrees each successive attack has less psychological effect on investors. “Shocks work like this: The first one is a surprise and (gets) a big response,” he says. “The next one, less so. And so it goes.”

Terror events normally are not on a scale that can create massive downside risk for the economy, says Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management.

“The market appropriately prices each event,” Paulsen says.

“There have now been several examples, and it is becoming clear that these events are typically temporary and minor as far as

their impact on future economic, business and earnings growth.”

While the frequency of terror attacks has picked up in recent months, with three highly publicized attacks occurring since November, the reaction of the stock market has been decidedly hohum as investors put these tragic events into perspective.

Data compiled by USA TODAY show stocks often shrug off the terrorist act altogether. After the Boston Marathon bombings in March 2013, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, which plunged 2.3% on the day of the attack, was close to break-even 10 trading days later. Similarly, following last year’s attacks in Paris at the offices of magazine Charlie Hebdo and the more recent attack in No-

vember at the Bataclan theater and outdoor Parisian cafes, the U.S. stock market finished in positive territory the day of the attacks as well as in the five-, 10and 30-trading day periods after.

Tuesday, Wall Street shrugged off the latest attack, with the S&P 500 down less than 0.1%.

It would take a terror strike of much larger proportions and shock value to spook investors and cause a major downdraft, Wall Street pros say.

The latest strike in Europe, however, could impact markets negatively in different ways, says Barry Bannister, chief equity strategist at Stifel. It could exacerbate political risks and create headwinds related to free trade and immigration, as well as spark a backlash against globalization, he warns. It could exacerbate socalled “Brexit” fears, as England weighs whether to leave the European Union, experts say.

“The only market readthrough is how it affects politics in the U.S. and Europe,” Bannister says.

How the FBI can hack killer’s iPhone — without Apple Agency’s method likely uses a digital copy of phone’s chips Elizabeth Weise and Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

In the month since it became public knowledge that the FBI was locked out of an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino killers, the bureau has been flooded with offers from people who said they could get into the encrypted phone, a federal law enforcement official said Tuesday.

Now the agency is getting help from one of these unnamed hackers, presenting this tantalizing SAN FRANCISCO

mystery within the code-cracking community: Which approach seemed promising enough for the government to postpone its court face-off against Apple?

One method that has had a lot of notice involves creating a digital copy of the phone’s chips.

“The most likely one to my mind is something that was originally suggested by Daniel Kahn Gillmor,” a technology fellow with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist with the Center for Democracy and Technology, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on digital civil liberties.

Gillmor’s hack, detailed in a blog post in late February, would allow the FBI to try countless

The hack would allow the FBI to try countless passcodes without touching the actual phone used by Syed Rizwan Farook. passcodes without touching the actual phone used by Syed Rizwan Farook, who with his wife killed 14 in a December shooting spree. That hack would also avoid tripping the self-erase program built into the iPhone, the security hurdle at the crux of the U.S. government’s legal fight with Apple.

The Justice Department isn’t

saying which “outside party” is helping it hack into the phone. If the method works, the agency won’t need Apple’s aid unlocking the phone, the department said in a filing late Monday when it asked for a surprise postponement of Tuesday’s scheduled hearing in the Apple dispute.

That was quite an about-face from the FBI’s previous stance, which held there was no way to get into the phone without Apple’s assistance.

A second government official, who also was not authorized to speak publicly, said the undisclosed party had been in contact with the FBI over a period of days before authorities felt confident enough to seek a postponement of Tuesday’s hearing.

Investigators have been able to

bypass the security function on sample phones, providing some measure of confidence. They should have an update to the court by April 5 on their progress, Justice lawyers said Monday.

Gillmor’s approach involves making a digital copy of the phone’s chips and then creating a purely digital version of them.

The FBI could then try to crack the passcode nine times, delete that digital version, make a new one and keep going until one of them worked.

The FBI has the technical experts and necessary hardware in place to do the hack in no more than two days. Even if they had to start with nothing, it wouldn’t take more than a month to unlock the phone, Gillmor told USA TODAY.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

The housing recovery has been a key building block of the economic comeback. And more good news on the housing front is expected Wednesday when new home sales for February are reported.

Wall Street is looking for 510,000 new home sales, up a little more than 3% from the disappointing 494,000 new houses sold in January.

“January was weak despite the warm weather, so some snapback is likely in February, which also saw generally warmer and less wintery weather,” says John Canally, chief economic strategist for LPL Financial .

growth this year, just as it has every year since 2010. Still, given that housing accounts for roughly 5% of GDP, even a strong housing market likely won’t be enough to “offset weakness elsewhere,” such as weaker exports and less capital expenditure spending from U.S. businesses, he adds.

Still, housing continues to enjoy many tailwinds, Canally says.

“Taking a longer-term look at things like housing affordability, demographics, the labor market, household formation, mortgage rates, rising rents (which affect the rent vs. buy decision), banks willingness to lend, household balance sheets and housing prices — almost all of these favor ongoing improvement in housing,” Canally says.

Housing headwinds include higher prices due to low inventory, which also increases down payment amounts, Canally adds.

They’re risky, but long term they produce profits Q: When will emerging markets stop plunging?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you’ve followed the advice of most financial planners, you’ve added emerging markets stocks to your portfolio. And if you’re like most investors, you’re probably angry about it.

Emerging markets have been the blemish on many a diversified portfolio.

The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund (VWO) has fallen roughly 20% over the past three years, dragging down what has been a solid period for U.S. stocks. The U.S.-centric Standard & Poor’s 500 is up about 30% during the same period.

Weak commodity prices have been brutal for companies in emerging markets. Energy and materials stocks together account for nearly 16% of the weighting of the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets exchange-traded fund.

If anything, emerging markets stocks are living up to their reputation of being one of the riskiest major asset classes.

Emerging markets stocks, over the long term, have been 25% riskier than the S&P 500, Index Fund Advisors says. But the payoff is worth it — emerging markets stocks have generated 28% higher returns over the long-term, too.

Guessing when emerging markets will finally bounce is impossible. But you’ll want to own the asset class when it does come back.

KBW calls for breakup of Citigroup to boost shareholder value Kaja Whitehouse @kajawhitehouse USA TODAY

Citigroup, the nation’s fourth-largest bank, could boost shareholders’ returns by more than 50% by breaking itself into pieces, a new report says.

“We believe that investors could own two companies with a combined market cap of almost $190 billion if Citi were to split up,” KBW banking analysts wrote in a research report. Citigroup is currently valued at $130 billion.

KBW’s banking analysts said NEW YORK

TIMOTHY A. CLARY, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Citi, which has been selling assets since the financial crisis, should divide its consumer banking operations from its corporate bank, along with a separate sale of the company’s international consum-

er business.

The asset sales could boost the cash the bank has to spend on shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks, the report suggested.

“We believe that the Fed would only allow Citi to return excess capital if the company were actively working to become smaller via a Fed-approved plan,” KBW’s analysts Brain Kleinhanzl and Michael Brown said.

The call for a smaller Citi comes as shareholders prepare to vote on that very issue next month. Both Citi and JPMorgan Chase face proposals this year

asking shareholders to weigh in on the sticky matter, which has been a topic of hot debate since “too big to fail” became a common catchphrase during the financial crisis.

For shareholders, the issue will turn on whether divestitures can free up cash at a time when banks are facing growth pressures, including rising loan defaults in oil and gas.

Banks that fail the government’s stress tests can be prohibited from spending on dividends and buybacks, a problem Citi has faced twice already.

But concern over the size of

the banks has also taken on new political life, thanks to the presidential election. Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, for example, has made breaking up the banks a major tenant of his campaign.

Citigroup declined to comment on the KBW report.

But the bank has asked shareholders to vote against this year’s too-big-to-fail proposal, which asks the bank to create a committee of independent directors to assess whether the sale of all noncore banking business segments would enhance returns for shareholders.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

Brian Truitt USA TODAY

Todd Phillips has told some insane stories on screen for years in comedies such as The Hangover and Due Date. With his newest effort, War Dogs, the truth is just as bonkers as any fiction.

Directed and co-written by Phillips, the real-life comedic drama (in theaters Aug. 19) stars Jonah Hill and Miles Teller as ambitious young men who become weapons traders for the U.S. government and enjoy the high life multimillion-dollar contracts let them lead before the proverbial chickens come home to roost.

“I like making movies about bad decisions,” Phillips says.

“This is the ultimate story about these two guys making some key bad decisions in their lives — seeing an angle and exploiting that angle but going too far.”

The filmmaker read about the true exploits of David Packouz (Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (Hill) in a 2011 Rolling Stone article that detailed how they kept winning larger contracts with the government in the mid-2000s until their biggest payday: a $300 million cash windfall from the Pentagon for arming U.S. allies in Afghanistan.

The tale appealed to Phillips’ penchant for grounded stories.

Before he made comedies like Old School and Starsky & Hutch, he chronicled musicians (Hated: GG Allin & the Murder Junkies as well as the Phish doc Bittersweet Mo-

tel) and college life (Frat House) as a documentary filmmaker.

“I’ve always strived to draw from the real world, even though The Hangover is ridiculous,” Phillips says. “Comedy plays better when it’s put up against reality.”

In War Dogs, David is looking for ways to better himself financially, especially since his girlfriend (Ana de Armas) is pregnant. Efraim, a former school chum, gets him involved in the world of arms trading.

“It’s as if your best friend from junior high has made all these crazy ‘advancements’ and he sucks you into this whirlwind life,” Phillips says. Bradley Cooper co-stars as David and Efraim’s idol in the international arms world. (Cooper also is a producer.)

While Teller brings a groundedness to David — the movie is told from his point of view — Hill’s unhinged Efraim has a swagger the actor has never shown before, Phillips says.

“He’s almost like a Tony Soprano — he’s not that but he sees himself as that, this swagger that doesn’t match who the character is,” the filmmaker says. “It’s a weird confidence with this guy that I just love.”

The central twosome ends up in some dangerous shenanigans, but Phillips was most impressed with how well they deceived the government.

“That comes with a youthful ignorance,” he says. “They really thought they could compete with these big defense companies, whether it’s Halliburton or Raytheon, and step into this arena as these two kids working out of an office in Miami Beach.

They were in over their head from Day One, and the ballsy part of the story is really interesting — the fact that they thought they could compete and did successfully for a few years.”

“It’s more of an indictment on the government than it is on these two kids who saw an angle.”

David (Teller) and Efraim (Hill) let Marlboro (Bradley Cooper) do the driving.

Director Zack Snyder proves he just might be the biggest fanboy of all by creating a superhero movie suitably epic for having Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and all their derring-do.

Is that a good thing for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, though? Well, not always in this massive though improved sequel (eee out of four; rated PG-13; in theaters Friday) to Snyder’s Man of Steel. BvS does well laying groundwork for a cinematic universe that could hold an entire Justice League. But it unpacks too much material for even a 2½hour film, leaving Dawn of Justice a superpowered jumble at times.

But that takes a backseat to the joys of watching Gal Gadot’s awesome Wonder Woman smile gloriously in the middle of a fight, Ben Affleck turning in a strong take on an older Dark Knight and his alter ego Bruce Wayne, and a story about two orphans.

Batman plays a major role from the start, as a quick recountREVIEW BRIAN TRUITT

WARNER BROS. ENTERTAINMENT

Bruce Wayne, aka Batman (Ben Affleck), watches as his city crumbles in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. ing of his origin leads to Bruce driving into the 9/11-type destruction of Metropolis and seeing the carnage wrought by Superman’s Man of Steel battle against Zod. Fast-forward 18 months, and Superman becomes part of another incident saving his love, Lois Lane (Amy Adams). Enough’s enough for three folks: Sen. June Finch (Holly Hunter), a congresswoman who wants to hold Superman accountable; Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), a xenophobic villain planning to whale on this alien interloper; and Batman,

who’s waging his own war against criminals while figuring out what to do about the Man of Steel.

BvS starts losing its way when Lois secretly meets with government officials, someone tries to sneak a dirty bomb into Gotham City, Lex is conniving in pretty much every way, and Batman has a post-apocalyptic nightmare that involves evil Superman, a large Omega symbol, a locale that looks like Dark Knight: Fury Road and a fleeting superhero sighting.

The subplots dovetail decently into the big finish, one Snyder pulls off with a surprise return,

one huge shocker and the promised throwdown between Batman and Superman. For those wondering why these two have to fight, there is a very good storyline reason for the two frenemies coming to blows, and in the director’s action-packed movie résumé (300, Watchmen), that faceoff and their inevitable alliance with Wonder Woman against Lex’s vicious Doomsday vault to the top of Snyder’s best-told fight sequences.

Henry Cavill is again a solid Superman (and Clark Kent), though Affleck and Gadot are really special in their debuts. Whether in an evening dress or brandishing bulletproof bracelets in costume, Gadot proves to be just as entertaining and watchable as either of the headlining heroes.

Affleck’s Batman is a surprisingly emotional one. A few scenes showcase a strong, even flirty chemistry between him and Gadot, rivaling that of Cavill and Adams.

BvS will please those either waiting for the two main players to lock horns on a movie screen, or those who’ve just been pining for Wonder Woman forever. And for the nerdier crowds, a fleeting glimpse at other superheroes hints this is the Dawn of something potentially sensational.

Baker women settle for second

By Mack McClure Special to the Journal-World

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Starting lineup a good fit for Kansas Louisville, Ky. — Give me a dollar for every time Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self has said he doesn’t care who starts, just who finishes games, and I’ll give you a wardrobe worthy of Villanova coach Jay Wright, plus a few threads, on a daily basis.

The funny thing is, though, Self hasn’t uttered one of his favorite quotes in a quite a while. Why would he? It hasn’t been an issue since Landen Lucas slid into the starting center spot and everything else fell into place.

The lineup, which Self made seem to the starters at the other four spots that the center selection was their idea, has just the right chemistry from a personality and basketball sense, both in the frontcourt and backcourt.

Starting guards Frank Mason III, originally committed to Towson University, and Devonte Graham, initially an Appalachian State recruit, both found their way to Kansas as underrated freshmen and immediately exposed the inexact nature of assigning ratings to high school players.

Both fit the profile that Self prefers in guards in that neither fits the classic description of either a point guard or a shooting guard.

They both personify the hybrid “combo” label, although Graham leans much closer to a point. Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins of the 2008 national-championship squad had “combo” written all over them as well. The same went for Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson of the 2012 national runner-up.

Mason and Graham both attack on the dribble with effectiveness. Mason, when at his healthiest, finishes at the rim and with a variety of floaters, even better than Graham, who is an even more accurate three-point shooter (.438 to Mason’s .390).

Mason, such a quick jumper, so strong, is the slightly better rebounder, Graham the more versatile defender. Three inches taller and blessed with longer arms, Graham is equally comfortable guarding shorter and taller scorers.

Yet, more than any of their differences as basketball players, it’s their divergent personality types that make them blend so well.

BAKER’S JAMI HODGE, RIGHT, defends MidAmerica Nazarene’s Kylee Weston during the NAIA women’s title game Tuesday night in Independence, Mo. Baker lost, 49-35.

Independence, Mo. — One minute, you’re playing for a national championship and then all of sudden, everything comes crashing down.

Baker University’s joyride in the NAIA women’s national basketball tournament had it venturing to Tuesday night’s title game against MidAmerica Nazarene at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena.

After leading 25-21 at half-

time, the Wildcats seemed to hit a wall coming out of the locker room at halftime, and MidAmerica Nazarene rode a 12-0 third-quarter run en route to a 49-35 victory for the national crown.

“We struggled in the third quarter,” Baker coach Ben Lister said. “I think we were 1-for-17 from the field and obviously, playing that caliber of a team, you’re not going to win.”

Baker (28-9), which established a single-season school record for victories,

could never get untracked after intermission. The Wildcats scored only four points during the opening 15 minutes of the second half, a microcosm of their fortunes.

“We fought back and never gave up,” said Baker guard Jami Hodge of the Wildcats finishing only 24.6 percent from the field (15 for 61). “It was just one of those nights where our shots weren’t falling. It happens, Please see BAKER, page 4C

Jayhawks arrive in Louisville

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Louisville, Ky. — If there ever was a perfect travel day for Kansas University’s basketball team it was Tuesday. The Jayhawks, who flew charter to the home of the Kentucky Derby and the Louisville Cardinals, had absolutely no travel delays, arriving at the downtown Hyatt Regency Hotel at 5:10 p.m., Eastern time.

“It’s good to still be play-

ing. It feels good to be here with the warm weather,” KU coach Bill Self said after exiting the bus the team took to the hotel from Louisville International Airport.

“I’m really excited to see the Yum! Center. I hear it’s fabulous,” Self added of the 22,090-seat downtown arena where the Jayhawks will hold an open practice from 3:10 to 4 p.m., today.

It’s in advance of Thursday’s NCAA South Regional Sweet 16 game against

Maryland, set for 8:40 p.m., Central time.

“It’s been pretty good,” Self said of the team’s itinerary since defeating UConn, 73-61, in a Round of 32 game on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. The Jayhawks traveled to Iowa by bus and returned early Sunday morning after the contest.

“It’s been pretty relaxing. We practiced yesterday (Monday) an hour. It was probably average at best. Today we went a little longer

(in Allen before leaving at 1 p.m. for Topeka Regional Airport). “Tomorrow we’ll go real short. The guys seem to be loose and focused and certainly I can tell there’s genuine excitement,” Self added.

He said it was nice to be able to actually watch Maryland beat Hawaii, 73-60, on TV on Sunday.

KU women go 0-2 in San Diego matches San Diego — Kansas University’s women’s golf team started the day finishing its suspended second-round match against third-seeded Arizona at the SDSU Farms Invitational at the Farms Golf Club. Arizona was able to keep its momentum from Monday and defeated Kansas 3-1-1.

KU then tied San Diego State, 2.5-2.5, but lost the tiebreaker.

KU freshman Ariadna Fonseca Diaz had a tough back-nine, at one point falling four strokes back. She eventually ceded with a 3-and-1 score. KU senior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn lost a hardfought battle to Krystal Quihuis by one hole. Pitsinne Winyarat was not able to provide a win to force a tiebreaker, falling to Lindsey Weaver 3-and-2.

After its loss, Kansas was sent to the fifth-place bracket, where it took on the seventh-seed and host, San Diego State. Chandra, who had played in two tight matches earlier, quickly fell to Georgia Lacey 5-and-4. Sakdee remained unbeaten after closing up shop three rounds early against Milagros Chaves, 4-and-3.

Fonseca Diaz completely controlled her match against Haleigh Krause, leading for all but the first hole and at one point nursing a six-stroke lead. Fonseca Diaz ended up winning the match 1 up.

Kawinpakorn was unable to come up victorious, falling behind by a stroke with three holes left and never recovering.

It came down to Winyarat, who had maintained a lead over Emma Henrikson for 14 holes before losing her one-stroke advantage with three holes to go.

Winyarat was unable to break their tie finishing all square and the team score was 2.5-2.5. The tiebreaker of total holes won was given to SDSU, leaving Kansas to face eighth-seeded Oregon for seventh place today.

Tampa Bay defeats Cuban Nationals Havana — In a landmark game attended by presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro, the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Cuban national team 4-1 Tuesday in the first visit by a major league team to the communist island since 1999.

James Loney homered and drove in three runs, and Matt Moore and the Tampa Bay pitchers shut out the Cubans until the ninth inning.

But the game will be remembered less for the final score than for the two men sitting in the front row at Estadio Latinoamericano.

Obama signaled safe when Kevin Kiermaier safely slid home early, then shook hands with Castro.

The near-capacity crowd included former All-Stars Derek Jeter and Dave Winfield, along with Jackie Robinson’s widow, Rachel.

The Baltimore Orioles were the last big league team to play in Cuba, in 1999 during spring training.

Heat 113, Pelicans 99 New Orleans — Hassan Whiteside had 24 points, 14 and three blocked shots, and Miami beat injury-ravaged New Orleans.

Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic each scored 23 points for the Heat, who’ve won nine of 12 games to put Miami in position to grab a playoff seeding as high as third in the Eastern Conference.

Jrue Holiday scored 24 for New Orleans, but missed 16 of his 23 shots. His shooting struggles against Miami’s stout defense was part of a theme for

Brook Lopez had 29 points, nine rebounds and a seasonhigh six assists, and Sean Kilpatrick added a career-high 25 points for the Nets.

Batum hit two big shots down the stretch to key the win. Batum had a four-point play to put Charlotte up 91-84 with 4:11 left and three-pointer to extend the lead to 96-88 with 2:44 remaining.

said Tuesday, “so it’s too early to tell where he’s at right now, but he’s on the road to recovery.”

That timeframe means Houston could return by the start of the season if everything goes perfectly. It also means he could miss the entire season if there are any setbacks.

“We’re hoping, just because of his work ethic and he’s been a fast healer in the past, we’re hoping that that’s not the case, that he’ll be able to play this season,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “When and where that is, it’s too early to be able to tell.”

Houston has established himself as one of the league’s premier pass rushers, earning All-Pro honors when he led the NFL with 22 sacks in 2014. He parlayed that performance into a huge contract after Kansas City designated him its franchise player, a $101 million, six-year deal with $52 million guaranteed.

Chiefs LB Houston could miss season Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Pro Bowl pass rusher Justin Houston could miss the upcoming season for the Kansas City Chiefs after having surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee that bothered him in the playoffs.

Houston hurt his knee in a game against Buffalo last November, and at the time it was diagnosed as a hyperextension.

He missed the remainder of the regular season but returned wearing a brace for the playoffs, playing 44 snaps in a win over Houston, but just eight in a loss to New England.

Still feeling discomfort in the knee, Houston visited orthopedist Dr. James Andrews for an arthroscopic procedure during the first week of February. Andrews realized that the ligament was not functioning properly.

After discussing his options with the Chiefs, Houston had surgery to repair it on Feb. 16.

“As you know from past, those are six-to-12 month recoveries,” Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder

Houston still had 71⁄2 sacks.

“Right now he’s in the middle of the process of doing rehabilitation,” Burkholder said. “(The injury) was a little bit tricky because his ACL wasn’t torn, but it wasn’t functioning the way it should.”

The injury may explain in part why the Chiefs moved quickly to re-sign veteran pass rusher Tamba Hali to a $22 million, three-year contract in free agency. Hali made the Pro Bowl last season, but he battled his own knee issues throughout the year and appears to be on the downward side of his career.

Hali had surgery to clean up his right knee in February, but should be back by training camp.

“He’s here every day as well. He’ll be ready to go in July,” Burkholder said. “That’ll come down to (Reid) and myself, with some help from our strength coaches, to give him some adequate prep work as well as rehab as well as recovery, just like we did last year.”

Jayhawks cultivate a ‘killer instinct’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A couple of recent postseason victories afforded the Kansas University men’s basketball team an opportunity to show off just how far it had come in the killer instinct department.

And make no mistake about it, putting teams away is something the Jayhawks absolutely have had on their radar.

“At halftime, every game, people will joke around and say, ‘What’s the score,” said KU junior Landen Lucas. “And we’ll all say, ‘Zero-zero.’

It’s just something that we say because we have to go out there and have that mindset.”

Leading K-State by 15

at halftime during the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tourney, the Jayhawks, in Louisville prepping for Thursday’s 8:40 p.m.

Sweet 16 contest against Maryland, continued to pour it on in the second half and topped the Wildcats by 22.

Four games later, during a second-round victory over Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament in Des Moines, Iowa, the top-seeded Jayhawks did not pull back after sprinting out to an 18-5 lead and, instead, built a firsthalf lead of as many as 24 points before coasting to a 12-point victory.

Lucas said the 0-0 mantra was used during halftime of each game. And even though the Jayhawks allowed UConn to trim

their lead to nine midway through the second half, the junior forward said KU’s desire to finish the job helped maintain the comfortable lead.

“I don’t think it’s new,” he said of referencing the 0-0 score at the break. “I think we’ve always said it. What would be new is us actually going out there and playing like it.

We would say it but not really have that mindset.

But I think you can see the change in this team.

We’re getting more mature in many areas.”

That idea of capitalizing on this team’s maturity is something that took awhile to surface. With two juniors and two seniors in the opening-night lineup, many expected KU to take full advantage

of the luxury of having its most veteran team since 2013. But early on, that was not always the case, and it showed up most during KU’s three-game road-losing streak and 5-3 Big 12 Conference start in January.

The reasons for KU’s struggles were many, and it was not until KU coach Bill Self settled the lineup and rotation that this team could fully use its wisdom and maturity to its advantage.

Since that time, after putting Lucas in the starting lineup for good, the Jayhawks have been on a big time roll and appear, in many ways, to only be getting better.

“If you compare us now to the beginning of the year, it’s a big difference

between getting up and putting teams away,” Lucas said. “We would get up on teams early in the year and then the next thing you know we’ve got a ballgame with 10 minutes left.”

Junior guard Brannen Greene said seniors Perry Ellis and Jamari Traylor played a huge role in increasing the sense of urgency with which this team played. He also pointed to each player’s personal pride — as well as the collective pride of the team as a whole — for helping the Jayhawks (324) take things to another level.

“They’re kind of the catalysts of it all, bringing the energy and making sure that we all know that whenever we lose that’s our last game,” Greene

said of Ellis and Traylor.

Asked to define what the phrase “killer instinct” meant to this team, Lucas’ explanation sounded an awful lot like the Jayhawks have looked during the past month and a half.

“It’s really just always treating the game like it’s a tie game,” Lucas said. “If we go out there and play a possession like we’re up 15 or 20 points, that’s when you can let a team come back into it. If you play every possession like it’s a tie game, that’s when you extend the lead and that’s what we need in a tournament like this.

“You never want to level off. The good teams that make deep tournament runs always get better and improve.”

LAWRENCE HIGH’S MICAELA RILEY, LEFT, kicks the ball away from Pembroke Hill’s Caroline Patterson Tuesday night at LHS.

LHS girls soccer tops Pembroke

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

There were times when Lawrence High’s girls soccer team looked dominant on Tuesday, creating offense with strong passes and playing tough defense.

Then there were times when the Lions looked like a team playing in their first game of the year. In the season opener, the Lions took the bad with the good in a 2-1 victory against Pembroke Hill (Mo.) at LHS. “I told the girls it was an ugly win, but we’ll take it,” first-year coach Matt McCune said after winning in his LHS debut.

“I’m happy for the girls because they’ve been working really hard. But they deserved it. We got better and better as the game went along.”

LHS sophomore midfielder Maria Duncan scored the game-winner with 30 minutes left, converting on a penalty kick after a handball in the 18yard box.

Duncan drew the PK when she tried to dribble around a defender and the defender fell, which led to the handball.

“I was just like, ‘I can’t kick this over. I need to focus and keep my head down,’” Duncan said of her

thoughts before she scored in the lower left corner.

Despite first-game jitters, it didn’t take long for the Lions to score their first goal of the season. Junior forward Skylar Drum weaved around defenders on the left side of the box and snuck a pass to junior midfielder Carson Drake, who was wide open and drilled a shot into the net in the 11th minute.

“The ball Skylar played to me was just an amazing ball — I couldn’t not put it in,” Drake said.

The Lions had chances to add more goals in the first 40 minutes. Freshman forward Anna Chieu had a pair of open looks around the net, but couldn’t sneak shots past the keeper, and Drum had a goal waved off after a lengthy discussion by the officials because she was ruled offsides.

In the second half, the Lions found their rhythm.

They only scored on Duncan’s penalty kick, but had several opportunities with strong passing by midfielders Drake, Sophie Minder, Erin Ventura, Mikayla Downs and Sofia Dominguez.

“In the first half, we were sort of just kicking the ball and running after it,” Drake said. “In the second half, we did a better job of finding feet and finding open space.”

again afterwards. Usually if I casually watch it (and it’s not upcoming KU foe) I wouldn’t watch it more than once.

They are really talented. They play terrific in spurts. They’ve been a lot like us in the tournament so far. We’ve been good in stretches, too.

Those are going to be two really good teams playing Thursday.”

It remains to be seen if some crazy travel affects No. 5-seed Maryland (278).

“The problem for Maryland,” Self said, “is they had to get back from Spokane (Wash, site of first two games). That’s a long trip for them. It was good we could relax Sunday, get our legs under us and start hitting it hard yesterday.”

Self said Maryland has one of the top teams in the country.

“I said personally as soon as the brackets came out Maryland is mis-seeded,” Self said.

“They started the season No. 2 in the country (finishing 18). They were No. 3 six to eight weeks ago.

They were ranked ahead of us for a stretch once conference play started.

Fortunately for us, we hit our dip in January.

Unfortunately for them they hit their dip in February. They fell a little bit. They can play to a 1-seed, there’s no doubt about that. I don’t think anybody can argue that this region has as good a teams left as any region,” added Self, whose overall No. 1-seed Jayhawks would play either No. 2-seed Villanova or No. 3-seed Miami on Saturday in the Elite Eight if the Jayhawks stop the Terps. l Injury update: “We’re fine,” Self said. “Perry (Ellis) got his knee bumped (against UConn in first half) which happens once every two weeks.

That’s not a big deal. He’s

Frank (Mason III) ... we’ve made such a deal out of Frank hangnails,” Self added, smiling. “He’s tired. He’s beat up. I think there’s a lot of people tired and beat up at the end of a six-month season. There’s nothing that’s happened with us to date that would keep us from being less than who we are out there.” l Kurtis to WKU?: KU assistant Kurtis Townsend , who played point guard at Western Kentucky from 1978-80, figures to be a candidate for the school’s head coaching vacancy. Ray Harper resigned last week after three Hilltopper guards were suspended.

“Right now, the biggest thing is no distractions for these guys (Jayhawks) so they can reach as high as they can,” Townsend said in an interview on Steve Gorman SPORTS! as relayed by kentucky. com. “All that stuff ends up working out the way it’s supposed to.”

Townsend played for Western Kentucky after transferring from Menlo (Calif.) Junior College.

“I love Western Kentucky,” Townsend told

Gorman. “I found my wife there. She went to school there, too, and is from Nashville originally. ... I loved it out there.

They care about basketball, I know that.” l More on Turg: Maryland, of course, is coached by former KU guard Mark Turgeon.

“I’ve got great respect for Turg. I actually coached him a year if you could call what I did coaching in those days,” said Self, a member of Larry Brown’s staff in 1986, when Turgeon and the Jayhawks reached the Final Four in Dallas.

“He was really fun to be around.”

Turgeon went 0-6 vs.

KU as Texas A&M coach from 2008-11.

“It really doesn’t (hold extra significance playing KU),” Turgeon told reporters on Tuesday as reported by maryland.247sports.com.

“The first time I coached against Kansas it was weird, but I was at Texas A&M so I’ve done it five, six, seven times. I’m not sure exactly the number so it’s really not about that. It’s about the Sweet 16. We’re playing the No. 1 seed in the whole

tournament, not just our bracket — and it’s a great opportunity for us.”

Noted Terp forward Robert Carter: “We know coach went to Kansas. He always talks about how great of an experience making the Final Four was for him, but nothing this week. Him going to Kansas is not going to help us score any points on the scoreboard on Thursday night.”

“He always tell us about the story where they didn’t get a key rebound to win the game (against Duke at Final Four) and he preaches that almost every day because that’s what we’ve lacked — our defensive rebounding,” added guard Melo Trimble. “He talks about that a lot. That’s pretty much the only story we know about him at Kansas.”

Forward Jake Layman told 247sports.com: “We’re not trying to worry about that stuff (KU ties). We’re just worried about going out there and playing Maryland basketball. Yeah, coach went there and played there.

I’m sure he’s excited.

We’re just going to go out there and play Maryland basketball and just worry about us playing well.”

Kansas softball takes twinbill from Evansville J-W Staff Reports

Lily Behrmann hit a two-run, game-winning home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, and Kansas University’s softball team defeated Evansville, 4-2, to complete a doubleheader sweep Tuesday at Arrocha Ballpark.

Andie Formby pitched a three-hitter as KU won the opener, 7-0.

Formby, who was named co-Big 12 pitcher of the week on Tuesday, started the first game against Evansville and threw her sixth completegame shutout of the season.

“My teammates make it easy,” Formby said.

“The defense is excellent, which is really helpful. Plus, our offense has been scoring a lot of runs, so I can put a lot of trust into the team to make it easy.”

Formby (11-2) pitched six innings of scoreless relief in the second game.

She struck out 13 in 13 innings in the doubleheader.

“Andie is doing phenomenal and is one of the hardest workers on our team,” KU coach Megan Smith said. “She has been one of the hardest workers since

just her but our whole team. There were some tense situations, especially in the second game, and she came through big time for us.”

Chaley Brickey homered for KU in the opener, and Daniella Chavez, in addition to Berhmann, homered in the nightcap.

Behrmann was 4-for-6 with three RBIs for the Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo day.

Perez homers in KC win Surprise, Ariz. (ap) — Chris Young threw 41⁄3 hitless innings and Salvador Perez homered as the Kansas City Royals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Tuesday night.

Young made his fourth start and walked three and struck out five before reaching his pitch limit. He was replaced by rookie left-hander Scott Alexander, who gave up an RBI-double to Rico Noel.

“Chris was awesome,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “We wanted to get his pitch count up to 75 and we did. We got to 78. I went out and told him, ‘CY you exceeded your pitch count. Dave (Eiland, pitching coach) is getting a little nervous.’

He said, ‘Does Dave know that I’m throwing a nohitter.’ I think he does. He was fantastic.”

Perez hit his third homer in the fourth on a 3-1 pitch by Alex Wood. He also drove in a run in the second with a groundout. Omar Infante singled home Alex Gordon for the other Kansas City run.

“We scratched together a couple of runs there early and Salvy’s home run was all the offense we needed,” Yost said.

“Our pitching is right where it needs to be.

bank on fertile brains on the floor and in the classroom, but as conversationalists could not be much different. Mature beyond his generation, Lucas has a natural gift for making anyone interviewing him feel at ease. He doesn’t speak in cliches.

Equally cooperative and polite, Ellis has worked hard at coming out of his shell, but remains on the quiet side and seldom takes conversations on unpredictable paths.

Put the basketball skills, experience level and personalities of the two guards, Mason and Graham, and the two post players, Ellis and Lucas, in a blender and the composite of the four would look like this: A 6-foot-5 junior who can play guard and forward, is above-average in every major aspect of the game, but not phenomenal in any one area, is much more extraverted than Ellis and Mason, but not as sociable as Graham and Lucas. In other words, the composite would walk, talk, emote and play exactly as does Wayne Selden Jr. (Interestingly, Selden’s statistics on neutral courts have been better than on the road or at home and that doesn’t even include his work in South Korea).

Selden ranks second on the team in scoring (13.6), tied for fourth in rebounding (3.4), third in assists and third in steals.

He brings vertical athleticism, punishes the rim with violent dunks and entices it with a soft shot from long distance.

Selden’s skills don’t always look as smooth as those of Mason, Graham and Ellis, but even in those games when the line next to his name in box scores is on the ugly side, the team still seems to perform better with him on the court than the bench.

Mason did a nice job of explaining why that is.

“He’s a physical presence for us,” Mason said. “He’s always in the right spot.

He helps defensively, off ball screens, just in the right spot, sometimes by bluffing to stop the offensive guy from getting in the paint. He’s been huge for us.”

All five have been huge for the Jayhawks (32-4, 16 victories in a row), growing steadily since forming a starting lineup that once locked, never changed.

and unfortunately, it was the national championship.

“We made it as far as we could go, so I’m just real proud of everyone, and I wouldn’t trade this team for anything in the world.”

Hodge and teammate Ericka Simpson, both from Spring Hill, were named to the all-tournament first team.

Tournament Most Valuable Player Kyleesha Weston scored a game-high 21 points for MidAmerica Nazarene (32-5), hitting six of 15 shots, including 2-for4 on three-pointers and 7-for-8 at the free-throw line.

It was Weston’s threepointer just before the halftime buzzer that pulled the Pioneers within 25-21. Then they seized command with their game-changing 12-0 run during the opening seven minutes of the third quarter for a 33-25 lead.

“I think we got a little tight when they made their run, and I thought we were a little passive shooting the basketball,” Lister said. “We just couldn’t hit any shots in the second half.”

But Tristin Wicks scored at the buzzer for the Pioneers to end the quarter, giving them a 3527 lead.

The Wildcats, who were outscored 14-8 in the final period, were led by Kelsey Larson and Wallisch with eight points apiece.

Both teams came out tighter than a drum at the start. Baker missed nine straight field goals after Hodge opened the scoring with a three from above the top of the arc.

In the meantime, the Pioneers missed 10 of their first 12 attempts from the floor in grabbing a 5-3 lead at the four-minute mark.

The Wildcats finally started getting in sync, getting a basket inside from Wallisch, a three from Larson, a bank shot from Wallisch and a Taylor Chase bucket just before the first-quarter buzzer for a 12-7 lead.

With their bench producing seven points, Baker, continuing a 9-0 run, extended its lead to 17-7 with 6 1/2 minutes left in the second quarter.

The best part is that it is so easy to customize the ham with your own glaze. My “hack” is to make a sweet and spicy dry rub that bakes into a burnished “glaze” (rather than brushing the meat with a wet sauce). It is so quick and easy that I urge you to throw away any packet of sauce that comes with your ham and try it my way.

A dry glaze is a dry spice rub with both sugar and granulated honey (or honey powder) to add sweetness and flavor. You also could use maple sugar granules.

Luckily, these powders are easier and easier to find at the grocer or online. My favorite sweet and spicy rub is a combination of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, white

pepper, dried honey, salt and sugar. But feel free to riff with your favorite flavors. Just don’t omit the sugar; it melts and holds the other spices together, creating the glaze.

SWEET-AND-SPICY GLAZED HAM Spiral-cut hams are fully cooked when you purchase them and just need reheating. This is your chance to add tons of flavor in the form of a glaze. This recipe is written for a 5-pound ham, but the recipe is easily adapted to accommodate whatever size you need to feed your Easter crowd. For timing, plan 12 to 15 Please see EASTER, page 2CRA

Cover the ham with foil again, then return to the oven or grill. Cook for another 30 minutes, or until the ham feels warm all the way through but is

not steaming hot.

Remove and discard the foil. Sprinkle the remaining dry glaze over the top of the entire ham. Turn the broiler on in the oven and place the ham under the broiler for 2 to 4 minutes.

Watch closely: You want the glaze to bubble and caramelize but you don’t want it to burn. When the ham is burnished to your liking, remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Easter sides are depressingly predictable. There will be asparagus, of course.

If you’re lucky, there might even be three or four variations of asparagus. And there will be peas. And gratin potatoes. And probably some sort of salad that most people will only eat to be polite. Not that there’s anything wrong with any of this.

It’s just that it would be nice to offer something ... different. So we’ll help you with this one. Try our butter roasted radishes with tarragon and lemon. It’s a simple dish that comes together in minutes, but has a wonderful flavor that is rich, light and lemony — the perfect combination for spring.

Fast, friendly service!

Start to finish: 30 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 6

Ingredients: 2 pounds radishes, halved 3 tablespoons butter, melted Kosher salt and ground black pepper Zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon Directions: Heat the oven to 375 F. Pile the radish halves in the center of a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the butter and toss to coat.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Arrange on a serving platter, then sprinkle with the lemon zest and tarragon. Serve warm or at room temperature.
