n a video projected on a classroom wall in Havana, middle school students introduce themselves in well-enunciated English.

The students say their name, age and where they live.

“Hi, my name is Brooke. I’m 13 years old. I live in Topeka, Kansas, which is in the United States,” one student says as part of a vocabulary lesson.

Cuban students are gathered to watch the video on a makeshift

Topeka — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback announced Thursday that he has signed a school funding bill aimed at satisfying a Kansas Supreme Court order to make funding among the state’s 286 school districts more equitable, saying he wants “to keep our schools open and ensure our students continue to have access to a quality education.”

His action means the court now must decide The Legiswhether the bill satisfies the Kan- lature consists sas Constitution’s requirement for of 165 elected equitable funding. representatives If not — and many of the people. critics of the bill I do not take say it doesn’t — the court has indi- their judgment cated it may shut lightly.” down the public school system on — Gov.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Bill CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Such a ruling could inflame tensions that already exist between the legislative and judicial branches of state government, which Brownback alluded to in his statement after signing the bill.

“The Legislature consists of 165 elected representatives of the people,” he said. “I do not take their judgment lightly.

This bill is the result of a delicate legislative compromise — one that I respectfully endorse and that the Court should review with appropriate deference.”

Within hours of the governor’s announcement, Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed a notice with the Supreme Court, submitting the new law as the Legislature’s response to the court’s order in February.

In that filing, Schmidt also urged the court to act quickly.

“The Legislature is scheduled to adjourn sine die on June 1, 2016, and it would be useful to provide budgetary certainty to school districts as they prepare for the upcoming fiscal year,” Schmidt said.

The bill redistributes about $40 million in socalled “equalization aid,” money the state distributes to districts with less property wealth than others in order to hold down the property tax mill levies that fund districts’ local option budgets and capital outlay funds.

In February, the court struck down the equalization formula lawmakers

enacted last year, saying the aid must be distributed in a way so that all districts can access substantially equal educational programs with substantially equal tax efforts.

But in a compromise aimed at satisfying conservative lawmakers who were reluctant to spend more money on education, the bill essentially takes equalization aid away from wealthier districts, but then gives it back to them in the form of a “hold harmless” grant that goes back into their general operating fund.

Critics have said that while the bill may equalize the LOB and capital outlay aid, it does so by dis-equalizing the block grants that make up the bulk of school districts’ general operating funds.

It also allows districts that lose aid for their local option budgets to raise local property taxes to make up the difference.

“It is pure smoke and mirrors,” said John Robb, one of the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the lawsuit Gannon v. Kansas. “It gives all districts the exact same money they had this year, with minor arithmetic anomalies. It does not change the distribution between wealthy and poor districts. It does not improve equity. The equity gap even gets worse with the rich districts’ ability to backfill the lowered equalization formula with new local dollars. It fixed nothing and made it worse.”

Anticipating that the court might find part of the bill unconstitutional, lawmakers inserted a “severability” clause that says if any part is voided, the rest of the bill would still stand.

Renner had hoped the city would provide more funding through its new Transient Guest Tax Grant Fund program.

The GoFourth! festival sought $19,200 in funding from the transient guest tax program, which is funded through the special tax that hotel patrons pay. But the city decided to provide $5,000 instead, which is consistent with what the city has provided to the fireworks show in the past, Renner was told.

As a result, Renner has started a fundraising effort on the website GoFundMe. He’s seeking $5,000 by June 1 to fund

the fireworks show.

The GoFundMe page can be accessed at gofundme.com/ pkxrenak.

As for other details of the festival, it will continue to be free to the public to attend, Renner said.

Plans call for the event to begin at 3 p.m. and end at 10 p.m. The fireworks show is scheduled to begin about 9:30 p.m. lll

Lawrence has lost a once-promising manufacturing company to Kansas City. As we reported in October, Lawrencebased HiPer Technology — which makes racing wheels for the ATV market — was close to signing a deal to be bought by Kansas City-based Weld, one of the leading manufactures of high-performance wheels.

Well, that deal has

L awrence J ournal -W orld The two provisions thought to be the most vulnerable are the “hold harmless” provision, which could cost the Lawrence school district $1.7 million if it is taken out, and the provision allowing districts to raise local property taxes.

The bill passed both chambers largely on party-line votes: 32-5 in the Senate and 93-31 in the House.

All members of the Douglas County delegation in the Legislature voted against the bill except Sen. Marci Francisco, DLawrence, voted “pass,” meaning she was present but did not vote yes or no.

Brownback actually signed the bill Wednesday, and the administration did not say why he took an extra day to announce it publicly. The 10-day deadline for him to sign or veto the bill would have expired today.

The court has not indicated when it may take up a review of the new law.

But legislators rushed to finalize the bill before they adjourned for their five-week spring break, hoping that the court will issue a decision before they return April 27 for the start of their wrap-up session.

Mark Tallman of the Kansas Association of School Boards said he hopes the Supreme Court will rule quickly on the bill.

“If it is struck down, we hope legislators will tackle the issue as quickly as possible to avoid a possible closure of schools this summer,” he said.

come to fruition, and Weld has announced that it has moved HiPer’s Lawrence operations to Kansas City. We reported in October that was a possibility but wasn’t a certainty with the deal.

In a release, Weld president and CEO Norm Young said the move made sense to maximize many business functions, including finance, sales, engineering, marketing and customer support.

The move to Weld’s 200,000 square-foot production center in Kansas City, Mo., also gives HiPer better access to Weld’s forging technologies.

The release didn’t state how many jobs were involved in the move, but in October, HiPer employed 11 people in Lawrence.

HiPer was located at 2920 Haskell Ave. It shared space with the new

Peaslee Tech vocational training center. HiPer was a tenant in the building, and its lease payments are a key part of the finances of the nonprofit Peaslee Tech center. I need to check in with Peaslee Tech officials to find out how the move has affected the center’s finances, but I know they have been planning for the move.

In October, an official with the center told me the center’s leaders were aware of the possible move, and were in discussions to ensure the center would be made whole.

Peaslee Tech leaders were optimistic that another tenant could be found for the space. I’ll let you know what I hear on that front.

Eudora to select developer for Nottingham property

T

he Eudora City Commission will select on Monday the developer with whom it will start negotiating an agreement for the redevelopment of the Nottingham property.

The city received two applications for its request for proposals to develop the 15-acre site that includes the closed Nottingham Elementary School and the old Eudora school district football stadium. The city purchased the property, which is on the west side of Church Street just north of the city’s main gateway from Kansas Highway 10, from the school district for $850,000.

The developer was to be named March 29, but the selection was delayed because of a mix-up in the date set to interview the two candidates. Eudora Assistant City Manager Barack Matite said the selection would be made at the City Commission’s regular meeting Monday, which starts at 7 p.m. at

The Baldwin Academy of Dance and Voice is planning even greater changes than the noon and evening meals it started making available in February at its downtown studio, 711 High St. Courtney Williams said she and her husband, Brian, plan now to expand into the empty lots to the east of the academy. Late last year, Dave Hill razed the two vacant buildings he owned that stood on the lots, saying it was a beautification project.

The extension would

house classrooms for gymnastics and tumbling and would have added room for students to do homework and eat while attending evening classes or rehearsals, Williams said.

“Our enrollment is larger than it’s ever been, and we need more space for classrooms,” she said.

She and her husband are talking with a number of construction firms on the project, which they hope to start in the late summer or fall, Williams said.

The new construction would blend with the character of downtown Baldwin City, she said.

BRIEFLY Distinguished professor to give inaugural lecture

Crisis and America’s First Encounter with Radical Islam” and “Sloan Rules: Alfred P. Sloan and the Triumph of General Motors.”

David Farber, who joined Kansas University in August as the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professor of History, will present his inaugural lecture next week, “The Uneasy State of American Conservatism: A Brief History.”

His talk is set for 5:30 p.m. Monday in the Summerfield Room at Adams Alumni Center.

Farber’s lecture will draw on his recent book, “The Rise and Fall of Modern American Conservatism.”

In the book, according to a KU announcement, Farber contends conservatism is “an odd-job word used by a hodgepodge of political actors to organize a movement capable of gaining political power in the United States. American conservatism, then, is a historically contingent, fragile project that has produced an uneasy alliance of disparate elements.

Managing that alliance has never been a project for the faint of heart, as recent events have driven home.”

Prior to joining KU, Farber was professor of history at Temple University. In addition to collecting numerous honors, he is a prolific author whose other books include “The Age of Great Dreams: America in the 1960s,” “Taken Hostage: The Iran Hostage

Parks and Recreation seeks public input for master plan Lawrence Parks and Recreation will hold two public meetings this month to gain input on the department’s master plan — a document that will prioritize which facilities and services need upgrading in the future.

The first meeting will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. April 14 in the Legacy Room of Sports Pavilion Lawrence, 100 Rock Chalk Lane.

The second is scheduled from 7 to 8:30 p.m. April 21 in the commons area of Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St. Besides getting feedback on the future of parks and recreation facilities and services, staff will explain at the meetings the process of updating the master plan, which has remained unchanged since 2000.

The City Commission appointed a 16-person committee last month to help in the process. In February, the city hired parks and recreation management consulting firm GreenPlay LLC to lead the effort. Costs of GreenPlay’s services are estimated at $69,500.

It’s been 16 years since Parks and Rec’s master plan has been updated.

The update will include plans for

upgrading or building facilities over the next several years and the timing and funding for those projects.

According to a news release, the process of changing the master plan will include a “comprehensive community-input process.” In May, the city will conduct a statistically valid, random survey of Lawrence residents to help with the updates.

The family business has more than a half-century of success and customers all over the world.

Black was thinking about that life — and about how to put all that he cared about “in order” — after a lump in his neck was diagnosed as lymphoma in 2012. He’d noticed something puffy on his neck while shaving. He knew he hadn’t really been feeling well and so he went in to see his regular doctor to get that puffy lump checked.

He asked his doctor to take another look at a fibrous mass at the top of his chest cavity, as well.

They’d been keeping their eye on that for several years.

When Dr. Larisa Kimuri called a couple of days later to say they had results of a CT scan and asked, “Could you come in and talk about it over the lunch hour? Maybe today?” the Blacks knew it would not be good news.

FRIENDS SUGGESTED TO GARY BLACK AND HIS WIFE, KRISTIN, that they leave Lawrence for treatment of his cancer. “But Gary and I were impressed with the care and information we received from LMH,” Kristin Black said. wanted to know.

“I’ve already made Gary an appointment with oncologist Luke Huerter,” Kimuri said.

“You can choose to see any doctor, anywhere; but I would trust Dr. Huerter.”

And just like that, life changed. Black thought about his mom, who had died of lymphoma, not long after being diagnosed. Already he knew he had lesions in his sinuses, swollen lymph nodes below his diaphragm and in his neck. At Black’s first appointment, Huerter gave the Blacks lots of information on lymphoma and its treatment. The couple was thankful that Huerter directed them to specific sites on the Internet; Kristin Black knew from her work at

a veterinary clinic that poking around unreliable medical sites can leave a person overwhelmed and loaded with wrong information.

Black says he was in shock for a few days after that first appointment, but he did what he’d always done. He went to work.

Friends suggested to the Blacks that they go out of town for treatment. “They’d say they read about such and such a place or heard that some such cancer center is the place to go,” Kristin Black says. “But Gary and I were impressed with the care and information we received from LMH. I can’t say enough about Dr. Huerter, the oncology department staff and nurses.

They just wrapped their

arms about us. Anything we needed, they’d find or do for us.”

Black began chemotherapy, with one treatment every two weeks, soon after New Year’s Day in 2012. At the end of July he finished chemo.

He began radiation in September. In October 2012, his treatment was complete.

“Now it seems like eons ago,” Black says.

“It’s a little like when your parents die, and for weeks and months you think about them all the time. Then, as time goes by, you still think about them often, but not quite all the time. The gap widens as you get time behind you.”

Black says it was helpful during treatment to talk with other cancer survivors. Now Black is

returning that favor. “I have a friend with breast cancer. She comes by and wants to talk and I am good with that,” he says.

“Some days during treatment, I didn’t come to work, and sometimes I’d cut back my work time,” Black recalls. “But coming to work was good for me. Work broke up the time while I felt bad.

I had a purpose coming to work, and I knew I was contributing. Everybody here is great. They shored me up.”

Kristin Black doesn’t withhold her praise.

“Gary is a good friend to people and good to talk to,” she says. “I was tickled when the hospital called and wanted him to tell his story. I knew it’d get him out of his comfort zone, but that’s OK.” “If my story gives other people hope, I am glad to share it,” Black says. “I’m just happy to be here and to be able to talk about it all.”

a.m. at the Lied Center pavilion. The event is free and open to the public.

There will be time for questions after King presents the potential changes to access points during the future expansion of the west leg of K-10.

Local residents, business owners and emergency personnel have spoken out against an option that would eliminate access from K-10 to North 1500 Road, commonly known as the Farmer’s Turnpike. A meeting on the issue held last month drew 450 people.

Residents and business owners south of K-10 near the Kasold Drive intersection have also formed in opposition to eliminating access. After about 20 people spoke against the closure at a LawrenceDouglas County Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting in February, KDOT said it would plan a public forum.

Both the City Commission and Douglas County Commission agreed late last month to send letters requesting KDOT maintain access to Kasold Drive and the Farmer’s Turnpike from K-10.

Plans are in the works for the expansion, but funding has not been approved.

KDOT officials have said it’s not likely construction will begin before 2020.

KDOT has said it wants to close access to Kasold Drive later this year because of the anticipated increase in traffic — and safety concerns that come with it — when the South Lawrence Trafficway opens.

hen country singersongwriter Brandy Clark emerged from relative obscurity to garner a 2015 Grammy nod for Best New Artist, even people on her own team couldn’t help but poke fun at her “dark horse” status, printing T-shirts that read “Who the (expletive) is Brandy Clark?”

These days, the Washington state native finds herself fielding versions of that question less and less. With a new album slated to drop this summer and a spot on CMT’s Next Women of Country Tour, Clark is poised for big things — including said tour’s stop Sunday at the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive.

In advance of her first Lawrence gig, Clark chatted with the Journal-World about her journey thus far, writing influences, and “country for people who don’t like country.”

A lot has been Q: said lately about the depiction or lack of

representation of female artists in country. The trope of women as onedimensional figures is something you tackle in your new single, “Girl Next Door.” Do you find there’s more pressure in your genre to be that “cardboard cutout” of a girl, to quote your lyrics?

I don’t think that’s just country. I think that’s our world in general. There’s a certain image of what a woman should be and what’s beautiful and what’s not, and it’s pretty hard to obtain what is stereotypically considered beauty.

So, I think “Girl Next Door” is kind of an anthem for all women, and I also think that all women have a little bit of both in them — the girl next door and the not-so-girl-nextdoor. It’s just saying, “You know what? I’m perfectly fine with my imperfections. If you don’t like You’ve been working them, go next door.” steadily as a songI read somewhere writer for more than a dethat you describe cade now, but when you your music as dark comreceived your Grammy edy.

I don’t see it as backhanded at all, because a lot of artists who I strive to be like, I would put in that category. I mean, Mary Chapin Carpenter…a lot of people who’d think they didn’t like country music liked her. I think that people have an idea of what country music is, and they’ve made up their minds that they don’t like it, but then they hear an artist like Kacey and they’re like, “Oh, I like that. I don’t like country music, but I like that.” I love being in that same breath, honestly.

av Chawla learned how to cook from his father.

One day, watching his restaurateur dad make a chicken curry in their kitchen, Chawla wondered why his mother would, in cooking the same dish, add ingredients into the pot all at once while his father spent more time sauteing the onions.

So Chawla, now 41 and the manager of downtown’s Bayleaf Indian Restaurant and Bar, asked him.

“I learned from him that everything has its own time,” Chawla says of his father, Kuldip Singh, who owns Bayleaf and co-owns its popular sister location, Passage to India, in Wichita. “Everyone can make a chicken curry — it’s how you make it that’s important.”

Turns out no two dishes — even those that share a recipe — taste exactly alike in Indian cuisine. Every cook has a different style, Chawla says.

Opening Bayleaf, 947 New Hampshire St., has been a realization of a lifelong “dream” for Chawla, who picked up almost every aspect of the business through his dad.

“About 95 percent” of Bayleaf’s restaurant derives from his father’s recipes, which include Indian delicacies (the family hails originally from the Punjab state) such as chicken tandoori, palak paneer, samosas and a variety of korma specialties.

“In Wichita, everyone liked tikka masala, but when we gave them the option to try new stuff, we got almost 50 percent

CHEF RAJ VIRI SHOWS OFF FRESH-COOKED CHICKEN at the newly opened Bayleaf Indian Restaurant and Bar, 947 New Hampshire St. to change to the korma curries,” Chawla says of the Mughlai dish, which has been popular at Bayleaf since the restaurant opened last month. “It’s not a chicken tikka masala monopoly anymore.”

He thinks Lawrence

up in numbers above Chawla’s expectations.

Part of that he owes to the month-and-a-half delay in opening Bayleaf, which he had originally told the Journal-World would be ready by the end of 2015. Nothing builds hype like the vagueness of a “coming soon” sign hanging over a storefront.

Chawla, who grew up in India and spent most of his adult life in Canada, made the move from Vancouver to Kansas about a year ago. Opting to call the new location Bayleaf instead of carrying on the Passage to India name is a nod to Chawla’s late cousin, who fulfilled a longtime wish by opening his own Bayleaf restaurant in Canada.

The Lawrence restaurant, Chawla says, is the first in hopefully many expansions of his father’s business — they’re eyeing Kansas City next.

“Maybe Seattle, too — my wife would love that,” he adds, smiling at the thought.

She’ll be joining him — along with their two children — in Lawrence this summer.

“This is my hometown now, and I’d like to stay for a long, long time,” Chawla says.

Stop bailing out son, but help him find a job Dear Annie: Our 46-year-old son is bright, caring and an all-around good guy.

Here’s the problem: “Munro” has never gotten much of an education, even though he’s had multiple chances and we have encouraged him to do so. If we say anything about it, he gets nasty and rude and tells us it’s none of our business.

He is absolutely right — until he and his family hit us up for money.

Munro has a wife and three children. The oldest, age 20, still lives at home and does not work or contribute to the household.

Our daughter-in-law refuses to work more than part-time, and then only temporarily.

The entire household lives hand-to-mouth.

We have loaned them a lot of money over

Annie’s Mailbox

the years, not to mention the many “extras” we’ve done for the kids.

We made a decision to close the bank, at least until his wife and adult son contribute more to the household.

The problem now is that Munro was in a serious, life-altering accident and is lucky to be alive. He won’t be able to work for some time.

Of course, they can’t pay their bills. I spoke to my husband about helping again because

‘Adult Swim’ takes a swing at golfing The word “soporific” just doesn’t get thrown around as often as it should. An adjective describing something “tending to induce drowsiness or sleep,” it’s a perfect description of televised golf coverage.

The “Adult Swim Golf Classic” (10:30 p.m., Cartoon Network) takes a swing at spoofing the decidedly low-key conventions of televised golf. It stars Jon Daly (“Kroll Show”) and Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”) as professional golfers named Jon Daly and Adam Scott in a fictional golf invitational taking place in 1966.

Absolutely no effort was given to make the fashions, references and attitudes ring true to that period. And that appears to be the point. The only “real” things about this half-hour live-action special are the charities (St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and Save the Children) and the actors’/ duffers’ passion for the sport.

For those who take their golf seriously, the second round of the 2016 Masters Tournament (7 p.m., ESPN) is also scheduled.

O Abby and Ichabod achieve a roundabout victory over the Hidden One on the season finale of “Sleepy Hollow” (7 p.m., Fox, TV-14).

Or is that series finale? TV by the Numbers, the website that worries about such things, gives this series a less-thaneven chance of surviving cancellation.

This fantasy mash-up of Washington Irving’s “Headless Horseman” tale and historical conspiracy thrillers like “National Treasure” has the difficult task of finding an audience that has been indulged with countless hours of fantasy programming, much of it geared to specific comic book heroes, even publishers.

O Proof that perhaps “Hell’s Kitchen” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) has run out of creative gas arrives with a contrived episode.

Contestants must complete Chef Ramsay’s dish while strapped in a straitjacket and reduced to shouting instructions to a close friend or loved one.

Tonight’s other highlights

O Bloody fingers on “The

Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS, TV-PG).

O A preacher harvests a congregation via identity politics on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC, TV14).

O Entrepreneurs propose a toolbox with attitude on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG).

O The owners of an aggressive German shepherd need some tough love on “Cesar 911” (8 p.m., Nat Geo Wild).

O Baez has bad personal history with a new partner on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

of these extenuating circumstances, but he replied that now is a good time for his wife and son to step up and get jobs.

What do you think we should do? We are financially secure, but not rich. — Worried Mom in California Dear Worried: This is a tough situation. You have been too generous already, but with Munro out of work for an indefinite period, his family will likely sink further down before it occurs to them to step up and contribute. They have been enabled for so long that they don’t know how to adjust their expectations. They will accuse you of abandoning them in their time of need.

Please sit down with Munro, his wife and their grown son. Ex-

plain that the gravy train has stopped running. Offer to help your daughter-in-law and grandson look through the want ads in the newspaper and online to find full-time jobs that will make up for Munro’s missing salary.

And if you are feeling generous, pay for them to get some financial and budget planning advice from a professional. Check with your bank or the National Foundation for Credit Counseling at nfcc. org. As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

Policy needed County officials need to be ready for the new wind-power proposals that almost certainly will come their way.

I

t’s good the Douglas County Commission is talking again about how to regulate the installation of wind turbines in the rural parts of the county.

The commission placed a moratorium on new wind energy systems in December 2013 when it discovered it didn’t have the right regulations in place to handle a Florida company’s request to install two meteorological towers to measure wind speeds in southwest Douglas County. Although there hasn’t been much pressure from potential wind energy developers since the moratorium was implemented, new proposals are bound to come and the county needs to be ready for them.

It’s also reasonable for the commission to take some extra time to gather public input on the county’s wind energy policies. The installation of smaller generators for personal and small commercial use as well as larger wind generating developments may be a positive for the county, but regulations are necessary to make sure the location and scale of those installations are appropriate.

One question that commissioners asked at their Wednesday meeting was what kind of economic benefit the county might reap from commercial wind developments. Although other counties have negotiated payments-in-lieuof-taxes with wind developers, county staff members warned that such payment might be seen as a form of bribe.

Nonetheless, Commissioner Jim Flory said he would want to make sure the county benefited financially from such projects. “If I was ever to vote for one of these monstrosities, which I don’t think I’ll have to, I would want the county to get significant revenue,” he said.

Flory has announced he won’t seek re-election in November so it does seem unlikely that he’ll face a vote on a major wind development before leaving office, but his portrayal of wind generators as “monstrosities” was a little disappointing. Modern wind turbines may not have the same bucolic charm as oldfashioned windmills, but some people find them somewhat majestic. Their ability to generate clean energy from one of the state’s most abundant natural resources is a major selling point for many Kansans, as are the financial benefits to property owners where wind farms are developed.

The company that sought the windmeasuring towers in 2013 has said it still has an interest in exploring the potential for a development in Douglas County, so this issue isn’t going away.

The moratorium has been in place long enough. It’s time to move forward on a reasonable policy to accommodate wind power development in the county.

Republicans still trying hard to lose Washington — Yes, the big Wisconsin story is Ted Cruz’s crushing 13-point victory. And yes, it greatly improves his chances of denying Donald Trump a first-ballot convention victory, which may turn out to be Trump’s only path to the nomination.

Nonetheless, the most stunning result of Wisconsin is the solidity of Trump’s core constituency. Fundamentalist Trumpism remains resistant

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

Moreover, 36 percent of Wisconsin Republicans, facing a general-election choice between Hillary Clinton and Trump, would either vote Clinton, go third party or stay home.”

to every cosmic disturbance.

He managed to get a full 35 percent in a state in which: l He was opposed by a very popular GOP governor (80 percent approval among Republicans) with a powerful state organization honed by winning three campaigns within four years (two gubernatorial, one recall). l He was opposed by popular, local, well-informed radio talk show hosts whose tough interviews left him in shambles. l Tons of money was dumped into negative ads not just from the Cruz campaign and the pro-Cruz super PACs but from two antiTrump super PACs as well.

And if that doesn’t leave a candidate flattened, consider that Trump was coming off two weeks of grievous self-inflicted wounds — and still got more than a third of the vote. Which definitively vindicated Trump’s boast that if he ever went out in

the middle of Fifth Avenue and shot someone (most likely because his Twitter went down — he’d be apprehended in his pajamas), he wouldn’t lose any voters.

The question for Trump has always been how far he could reach beyond his solid core. His problem is that those who reject him are equally immovable. In Wisconsin, 58 percent of Republican voters said that the prospect of a Trump presidency left them concerned or even scared.

Cruz scares a lot of people, too. But his fear number was 21 points lower. Moreover, 36 percent of Wisconsin Republicans, facing a general-election choice between Hillary Clinton and Trump, would either vote Clinton, go third party or stay home.

Trump did not exactly advance his needed outreach with his reaction to the Wisconsin result: a nuclear strike on “Lyin’ Ted,” as “a puppet” and “a Trojan horse” illegally coordinating with his super PACs (evidence?) “who totally control him.” Not quite the kind of thing that gets you from 35 percent to 50 percent.

Not needed, say the Trumpites. If we come to Cleveland with a mere plurality of delegates, fairness

demands that our man be nominated.

This is nonsense. If you cannot command or cobble together a majority, you haven’t earned the party leadership.

John Kasich makes the opposite case. He’s hanging on in case a deadlocked convention eventually turns to him, possessor of the best polling numbers against Clinton. After all, didn’t Lincoln come to the 1860 convention trailing?

Yes, and so what? The post-1968 reforms abolished the system whereby governors, bosses and other party poo-bahs decided things.

In the modern era, to reach down to the No. 3 candidate — a distant third who loses 55 of 56 contests — or to parachute in a party unicorn who never entered the race in the first place would be a radical affront to the democratic spirit of the contemporary nominating process.

A parachute maneuver might be legal, but it would be perceived as illegitimate and, coming amid the most intense anti-establishment sentiment in memory, imprudent to the point of suicide.

Yet even without this eventuality, party suicide is a very real possibility.

The nominee will be either Trump or Cruz. How do

Crazy contractions To the editor: Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, it’ll. Why do I keep seeing these contractions in print in the Lawrence Journal-World? My high school journalism teacher would have (yes, “would have”!) fired us from the school newspaper staff for these grammatical travesties. Yet today’s journalists seem to think these peculiar constructions are OK. What’re they thinking? I’d’ve never believed it. But just wait — it’ll prob’ly get worse.

Trump threats?

To the editor: I cannot believe what I have just heard a Trump campaign manager say in reference to the National Republican Convention coming up soon. The message was that if opponents of Donald Trump would organize an attempt to have some other candidate than the highly controversial candidate for president of the United States nominated for the office of commander in chief, they would identify delegates who were part of the movement, give out hotel room numbers and otherwise threaten and harass these individuals who were doing their required job at the convention.

Has it finally come to this? Has the presence of Donald Trump created more viciousness and veiled threats of violence in our political process? Has this unqualified wannabe decided that the only

way to terrorize his way to the White House is to make terroristic threats to the party delegates?

Is there no law or common sense way to put this vicious circus in our political process out of business? Whatever happened to the laws against terroristic threats?

Having learned on late Tuesday night television that Sanders and Cruz had won their respective primaries, I eagerly awaited the morning newspaper to learn by what margin each had won: by 51 percent, by 80 percent, by what? Yet in some 50 inches of column length in the USA Today issue, there is not one mention of this relevant information. To paraphrase a familiar expression, a number is worth a thousand words!

Charles Wyttenbach, Lawrence

they reconcile in the end?

It’s no longer business; it’s personal. Cruz has essentially declared that he couldn’t support someone who did what Trump did to Heidi Cruz. He might try to patch relations with some Trump supporters — is Chris Christie’s soul still for sale? — but how many could he peel away? Remember: Wisconsin has just demonstrated Trump’s unbreakable core.

And if Trump loses out, a split is guaranteed. In Trump’s mind, he is a winner. Always. If he loses, it can only be because he was cheated. He constantly contends that he’s being treated unfairly. He is certain to declare any convention process that leaves him without the nomination irredeemably unfair. No need to go third party. A simple walkout with perhaps a thousand followers behind will doom the party in November.

In a country where only 25 percent feel we’re on the right track and where the leading Democrat cannot shake the challenge of a once-obscure dairy-state socialist, you’d think the Republicans cannot lose.

You’d be underestimating how hard they are trying.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 8, 1916: “Triumphing over bad weather conditions, the city workmen will years complete the white way to such an ago extent this afternoon that the enIN 1916 tire five blocks will be lighted up for the first time this evening. A few lights may be missing from the north end of Sixth street, City Engineer Dunmire said today, as it has been impossible to get all the work done. But enough has been done in the face of adverse conditions to make it possible to light up every block of the street. The south end of the white way has been alight every night for several weeks now, and the coming of the lights to the 600 and 700 block will be a welcome event to the business men in that part of town.”

“A final test to insure perfect service for the transcontinental telephone reunion for K. U. alumni tonight was made at 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The representative of the Bell company brought here from Kansas City to install the 500 receiving phones and the proper connecting circuits, talked to fellow craftsmen at both New York and San Francisco. Those with tickets for phones here should be at Robinson gymnasium at 7:45 o’clock.... The reunion tonight is one of the methods which the Bell telephone company takes to demonstrate the efficiency of its cross continent service. Transcontinental service was inaugurated a year ago in January.”

“E. L. Mason in a fit of despondency committed suicide at 1110 Vermont street yesterday afternoon by swallowing cyanide of potassium.

The poison was taken while Mr. Mason was in the dining room of his home, about 3 o’clock. Members of the family who were about their tasks in the house discovered his condition shortly afterward and physicians were summoned, but could do nothing. No reason was ascribed for the act other than the fact that Mr. Mason had been despondent for a considerable period recently....

The poison with which Mr. Mason ended his life was purchased at the Round Corner drug store December 25, 1915…”

VA bosses falsified veterans’ wait times Recently released reports detail extent of problems at U.S. medical centers Donovan Slack USA TODAY

Supervisors instructed employees to falsify patient wait times at Veterans Affairs medical facilities in at least seven states, according to a WASHINGTON

USA TODAY analysis of more than 70 investigation reports released in recent weeks.

Overall, those reports — released after multiple inquiries and a Freedom of Information Act request — reveal for the first time specifics of widespread scheduling manipulation.

Employees at 40 VA medical facilities in 19 states and Puerto Rico regularly “zeroed out” veteran wait times, the analysis shows.

In some cases, investigators found manipulation had been going on for as long as a decade. In others, it had been a few years.

In many cases, facility leaders told investigators they clamped down on scheduling improprieties after a scandal in Phoenix, but in others cases, investigators

found they had continued unabated.

The manipulation masked growing demand as new waves of veterans returned from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and as Vietnam veterans aged and needed more health care.

In 2014, The Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, and other news media revealed that schedules were manipulated at the Phoenix VA Medical Center and that dozens

Astronomers discovered a “behemoth” black hole weighing as much as 17 billion suns in a remote part of the universe, the British journal Nature reported.

Black holes are collapsed stars — bottomless pits of gravity from which not even light can escape. The biggest ones are typically located at the center of large galaxies in crowded parts of the universe.

What is surprising about the discovery is the remote location of the galaxy where it resides.

“The newly discovered supersized black hole resides in the center of a massive elliptical galaxy, NGC 1600, located in a cosmic backwater, a small grouping of 20 or so galaxies,” said lead discoverer Chung-Pei Ma, a University of California-Berkeley astronomer.

Ernie Els’ Masters disaster 9 on first hole worst in history of tourney Steve DiMeglio @Steve_DiMeglio USA TODAY Sports AUGUSTA , GA .

Ernie Els was the Big Uneasy one hole into the Masters.

The South African, whose relaxed ways and smooth swing begot the nickname the Big Easy, took a 9 on the first hole Thursday in the first round at Augusta National Golf Club.

That’s a quintuple-bogey. He needed six putts to hole out. It’s the worst opening-hole score in the 80 years of the Masters. Els wound up shooting 8-over-par 80.

At least it’s better than the 10 the Masters app and scorer recorded on the hole; that was corrected after the round.

“I can’t explain it,” said Els, who recently has battled the yips

Investigators had said manipulation was “systemic,” but they did not identify which facilities had problems and how serious they were. The inspector general launched investigations of more than 100 facilities.

“I can’t explain it,” Ernie Els said of his quintuple-bogey Thursday.

— an involuntary spasm of the hands while putting — and now has a mental challenge while putting in tournaments. “I couldn’t get the putter back. I was standing there, I’ve got a 3-footer, I’ve made thousands of 3-footers, and I just couldn’t take (the putter) back. ...

“And then I just kind of lost count. The whole day was a grind.

I tried to fight. I’m hitting the ball half-decent, and I can’t make it from 2 feet. I’m not sure where

I’m going from here.”

Els wasn’t the only one shaken up by the six putts. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that. I feel for Ernie,” playing partner Jason Day said. “I didn’t realize he was fighting stuff like that upstairs with the putter. …

You don’t want to see any player go through that, because it could be career ending.”

Here’s how Els, 46, a Hall of Famer who has won four majors, made 9 on the par-4 hole.

After a drive short of the bunker and an approach that was just off the green to the left, Els was 18 yards from the hole. After a chip to 3 feet, the misery began. He missed the 3-footer for par and then missed a 2-footer.

Then he missed from 2 feet again and then from 4 feet.

By this time, Els carelessly one-handed his next putt from 11 inches. And missed. He finally holed out — again one-handed — from 11 inches. That’s six putts that traveled 13 feet.

Tax filing? April 18. Tax freedom? Six days later Melanie Eversley USA TODAY

Six days after the tax filing deadline of April 18, Americans will be free — free of working to pay their share of the national tax burden for the year.

April 24 marks Tax Freedom Day, the day people in the United States are collectively done working toward the nation’s tax burden, according to the Tax Foundation, a tax policy research organization based in Washington. Bottom line: It’s the day the U.S. has earned enough income to

pay its taxes — at least in theory.

This year’s freedom day falls a day before it fell last year because of lower tax collections as a proportion of the economy, the foundation says.

By then, Americans will have contributed 114 days of work to collectively pay for the nation’s tax burden. Broken down, that works out to 46 days toward federal, state and local individual income taxes, 26 days for payroll taxes, 15 days for sales and excise taxes, 11 days for property taxes, nine days for corporate income taxes and seven days for estate and inheritance taxes, customs duties and

other taxes, according to the foundation.

All told, Americans will pay $3.3 trillion in federal taxes this year and $1.6 trillion in state and local

taxes, the foundation says.

“Tax Freedom Day gives us a vivid representation of how much federal, state and local tax revenue is collected each year to pay for government goods and services,” Scott Greenberg, Tax Foundation analyst, said in a statement. “Arguments can be made that the tax bill is too high or too low, but in order to have an honest discussion, it’s important for taxpayers to understand the cost of government.”

With more money going to taxes, there is less capital around for investment in the private sector, Patton writes.

Individual states will reach their tax freedom on varying dates, according to the Tax Foundation. Mississippi reached the finish line first, on April 5, meaning residents bear the lowest average tax burden. Connecticut will be the last state to finish, on May 21, the foundation reports.

Kids caught up in a scary media climate Marlo Thomas

@MarloThomas Special for USA TODAY

The other night, a friend’s daughter came tearing into her parents’ bedroom — she’d had a nightmare that the Islamic State was hunting her down. Though only 10 years old, this child’s reality had been shaken by headlines that have become inescapable. Images and fears that saturate today’s media landscape were finding her as she slept.

Whether the story is terrorism, economic turmoil, global warming or racial tensions, children are being raised in fear and are having an increasingly difficult time remaining, well, children. Fold in a world of bullying and the constant pin pricks of social media, and you begin to get the disturbing picture.

This alone should be enough to keep parents up at night, yet our troubles don’t end there.

The problem is exacerbated by a programming gap for tweens, or kids 7 to 12. At the critical age when they are forming their ideas of who they are, how the world works and how they should behave in it, tweens have no developmentally appropriate and humane content just for them. One would think that in the sea of TV, gaming and social media content, every age group would become a niche audience.

But tweens have fewer tools and outlets than their younger

These “always-connected” youth, as Levine puts it, devour a swamp of low quality, stereotypical offerings that too often promote gender bias, lack diverse role models, glorify conflict and may compromise children’s social relations and identity needs. counterparts or the adolescents above them, experts tell us. Today’s tweens are being neglected.

I wanted to find out how kids are supposed to navigate this world. So I reached out to Michael Levine, an educator who runs the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop that focuses on children’s learning and all things digital. He explained that tweens today are experiencing an adult world without the life experience or cognitive abilities to process it or make sense of it. This exposure creates a “modeling crisis” in which children race toward adulthood unprepared and, in many cases,

damaged. This isn’t just a parenting problem, he says, but a societal one.

This all takes me back to a different time. In the 1970s, some of you may remember Free To Be … You and Me, a project I started with a group of friends. That, too, was a time of tumult, as American society was struggling with issues of race, gender equality, violence and sometimes-apocalyptic fears. Children, we knew, were catching whiffs of this in their daily lives. We wanted to help them grow up in a different kind of world.

So we set about to empower and inform these pillars of the

VA health official plans overhaul v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The newly released findings of those probes show that supervisors instructed schedulers to manipulate wait times in Arkansas, California, Delaware, Illinois, New York, Texas and Vermont, giving the false impression facilities there were meeting VA performance measures for shorter wait times.

In some cases, the system encouraged manipulation even without explicit instruction from supervisors. A manager in West Palm Beach, Fla., sent out laudatory emails touting the shorter wait times the system showed.

Schedulers in Harlingen, Texas, reported being berated by supervisors when they booked appointments showing longer wait times for veterans. (It was “not pretty,” one employee said.)

In other cases — in Gainesville, Fla.; White River Junction, Vt.; and Philadelphia, for example — VA employees improperly kept lists of veterans needing care outside the scheduling system, a violation that hid actual wait times.

Roughly half of the 70 newly released reports are from investigations completed more than

a year ago, and the VA said it initiated discipline against 29 people — three of whom left the agency — because of the findings.

The agency said it retrained thousands of schedulers and is updating software to make it easier for them to book appointments properly. A pilot program at 10 facilities allows veterans to book their own appointments, and the VA expects to roll that out nationwide, according to David Shulkin, a physician who took over as undersecretary for health at the VA in June.

Shulkin told USA TODAY he initiated two massive, same-day efforts to try to provide care sooner for more than 100,000 veterans, and the agency has increased capacity to get wait times down. “We’ve expanded appointments, we have added evening hours and weekend hours, we’ve added 3 million square feet of space, we’ve hired 14,000 new providers,” he said.

VA whistle-blowers said schedulers still manipulate wait times.

Shea Wilkes, co-director of a group of more than 40 whistleblowers from VA medical facilities in more than a dozen states, said the group continues to hear

‘Very American problem’ arises v CONTINUED FROM 1B

corporations have officers with addresses in this country: 90 in Nevada, nine in Florida and one in Delaware.

The financial records show more than 600 of the companies’ corporate officers are listed at one of just two addresses in the world, one in Panama and the other Seychelles, a small Indian Ocean archipelago. The addresses in both countries are Mossack Fonseca’s headquarters.

For about 700 of the American shell companies, the corporate officers are business entities rather than people, meaning no individual is linked to the Nevada firm in state records.

“We shouldn’t be thinking about this as a Panamanian problem,” said Matthew Gardner, executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy in Washington. “We should be thinking about this as a very American problem and a problem that arguably is worse here in the

States than it is in Panama.”

The registered agent for all of the companies in Nevada is M.F. Corporate Services (Nevada), a one-employee operation located in an unassuming Las Vegas office suite.

In Argentina, a prosecutor’s report in 2014 on the financial dealings of the former and current presidents, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and an associate, Lázaro Báez, included the names of 150 Nevada corporations with Mossack Fonseca links.

The Nevada firms have been brought into a separate nationwide corruption investigation by Brazilian officials, dubbed “Operation Car Wash,” which centers on allegations involving the state oil company Petrobras. The names of least 45 Nevada and Wyoming companies companies linked to Mossack Fonseca are listed in investigative records published online by Brazilian prosecutors.

“Until the VA decides it truly wants to change its corrupt and poor culture, those who work on the front lines and possess the true knowledge relating to the VA’s continued data manipulation will remain quiet and in hiding because of fear of workplace harassment and retaliation,” said Wilkes, a social worker at the VA Medical Center in Shreveport, La. This is not the first time the VA said it would fix problems with scheduling. When the inspector general found in 2005 that VA schedulers were improperly booking appointments — and wait lists were therefore underestimated by as many as 10,000 vet-

erans — the agency initiated a “national education plan” to retrain schedulers and supervisors.

In 2010, VA officials discovered schedulers used “gaming strategies” to falsify wait times to meet agency performance targets, and they required all schedulers to undergo new training.

In the newly released reports, investigators found schedulers were using the same strategies.

Most commonly, schedulers would start the wait clock on the day of the appointment they were booking rather than when the veteran wanted to be seen. The system then showed there was no wait time even if the veteran had to wait weeks or months for an appointment.

I took these concerns to Michael Rich, a pediatrician who founded Harvard’s Center on Media and Child Health. He points out that our society really can’t even comprehend how this cocktail of media immersion and programming vacuum will play out in this generation of tweens.

Rich tells me that the narrowcasting websites popular among tweens are populated by snarky, values-free content.

I’m someone who believes in the power of media to change the culture. And it’s hard to sit passively and watch children suffer. In my work at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I see the indescribable and captivating kindness and empathy that children are wired to offer. I see children comforting peers who are also fighting cancer. All of them show remarkable strength, courage and otherworldly compassion. Yet life’s lessons, and deep human kindness, should surround all children, and not just when tragedy is at their family’s doorstep.

We as a society need to take stock of how today’s messages and programming are affecting children. What kind of world will be created by a generation of Americans seared by anger and numbed to hate?

Do we really want to find out?

Thomas is an actor and national outreach director for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Government Accountability Office said the VA’s wait-time system still is prone to scheduler error and produces unreliable data.

Shulkin said that in addition to the actions the agency has already taken, he plans to overhaul the way the VA measures wait times and ensures veterans get care when they need it.

“I have found reports in the bottoms of drawers from 15 years ago that suggested that access issues existed in the VA and that we needed to address these systems systemically rather than piecemeal,” he said. “It’s not a matter of just retraining people to be able to accurately record wait-time data, this is a matter of actually redesigning and relaunching your whole approach to how you care for veterans.”

Friday, he plans to launch a “declaration of access” that lays out goals to reach by the end of the year.

He said the agency is moving toward measuring wait times by veteran satisfaction. The VA asks veterans at computer kiosks when they check in for appointments whether they are satisfied that they got the appointments when they wanted them.

He said 89% of veterans say they are satisfied and he uses the data to guide management.

More than 480,000 veterans were waiting more than 30 days for an appointment as of March 15, public VA data show. public view.

Some of the Nevada-based firms do identify officers. A dozen of the shell companies were controlled by members of one of Thailand’s wealthiest dynasties, the Chirathivat clan that owns a sprawling empire of shopping malls, hotels and real estate developments in every major city in Thailand.

Tos Chirathivat, the Americaneducated chief executive, is listed as an officer in six Nevada corporations set up by MF Nevada. Another six Nevada firms have had officers that are Tos’ relatives or people associated with his family’s businesses.

In Wyoming, where Mossack Fonseca has registered about two dozen companies, corporations are even harder to trace. Officers are not listed in public records.

“They’re actively selling this stuff abroad,” Heather Lowe, director of government affairs at Global Financial Integrity, a Washington research group, said of the secrecy offered by a handful of U.S. states.

In a statement responding to recent coverage of the Panama Papers, Mossack Fonseca said incorporating companies in different jurisdictions is “the normal activity of lawyers and agents around the world.”

AURORA VICTIM’S STEPFATHER SLAMS SANDERS OVER GUN VIEWS WOJTEK RADWANSKI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

A wall commemorates Poles who saved Jews by hiding them from the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Holocaust database grows to 1M records Online memorial is driven by volunteers Shakeeb Asrar USA TODAY

The Nazis aimed to erase the Jewish people. Now, 70 years later, contributors around the globe are etching victims’ names back into memory through an online memorial that’s just hit 1 million records.

World Memory Project, a collaboration between the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and genealogy website Ancestry.com, is a free online database that lists information about victims and survivors of the Holocaust.

Launched in May 2011, the project hit 1 million records this month, a major milestone made possible through more than 3,500 volunteers from 18 countries. The contributors spend hundreds of hours indexing archived documents from the Holocaust Museum into an online software provided by Ancestry.com.

“The Nazis tried to erase these people from history. Today, this achievement helps restore their identities for posterity and honor those who were lost,” said Neal Guthrie, director of the Museum’s Holocaust Survivors and Victims Resource Center.

Thousands of people have accessed the database to find information about their ancestors since it started.

Retired physician Patricia Lewin, 75, started volunteering to search about the ancestors of her deceased Jewish husband, but what she didn’t know was that despite being from a non-Jewish family, she had kin who became victims.

“My cousin’s husband’s father had died there (in Germany) and it was a big surprise,” said Lewin.

“I was excited, but depressed at the same time.”

According to Guthrie, finding material is a challenge, since many archives are handwritten.

Last year, students from three U.S. high schools volunteered to index about 7,000 individuals.

onnie Phillips is filing for bankruptcy because he owes $203,000 to the company that sold his stepdaughter’s killer 4,000 rounds of ammunition over the Internet.

A federal judge threw out his lawsuit against Lucky Gunner, and now the Phillips family must pay its legal fees under Colorado law.

As the Democratic primary race turns to New York, where the gun issue looms large, Hillary Clinton will seize upon their story and those like it. The Phillips’ daughter, Jessica Ghawi, died in the 2012 mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo.

Lucky Gunner was shielded from prosecution under a 2005 law that grants gunmakers and sellers immunity from prosecution for crimes committed with their products. Bernie Sanders voted for the law while a member of the House, though he’s recently wavered over whether he supports it.

DUSTIN BRADFORD, GETTY IMAGES

“We don’t have that much money to pay them, and they can take our house,” Phillips told USA TODAY. “Right now we’re living in a trailer, traveling and speaking around the country trying to get people to understand how egregious this law is.”

“I don’t think he had any idea of the repercussions this law would cause,” Phillips said of Sanders. “I would like Bernie Sanders to at least apologize to us for the heartache this has caused.”

Clinton has made Sanders’ record on guns a major theme throughout the Democratic primary. It’s one of the few issues where she’s to the left of the senator from Vermont at a time when the Democratic Party is becoming more liberal. Yet, until now, it hasn’t been front-and-center.

During a recent New York Daily News editorial meeting, Sanders was asked whether he thinks victims of a crime committed with a gun should be able to sue the manufacturer. “No, I don’t,” he said, prompting a front-page reading “Bernie’s Sandy Hook Shame” and recriminations from Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy and Gov. Dan Malloy.

The Sanders campaign responded by calling Clinton a flip-flopper on guns. In an email, campaign manager Jeff Weaver

said she’s “been all over the map.”

Clinton attacked then-senator Barack Obama for being too tough on guns in 2008, prompting him to call her “Annie Oakley,” said Weaver.

Sanders is also co-sponsoring a recent bill to repeal parts of the 2005 law. Sanders’ concern has been about small stores that support the hunting community, Weaver said on MSNBC Tuesday night. “He is certainly in favor of making sure anybody who’s a bad actor is punished,” said Weaver.

Clinton is pouncing on the issue.

In a Wednesday interview on MSNBC, she called guns “one of my biggest contrasts” with Sanders. “That he would place gun

manufacturers’ rights and immunity from liability against the parents of children killed at Sandy Hook — it’s just unimaginable to me.”

“The gun issue is tailor-made for her to use against Sanders in New York,” said Robert Spitzer, political science chair at SUNY Cortland in New York, who’s published five books on gun control.

New York was the first state after Sandy Hook to enact strict new gun laws, with the SAFE Act of 2013 that Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called the “toughest” law in the U.S. Statewide, there’s greater support for gun control than there is nationally, and despite higher levels upstate, gun ownership has been declining in New

Bernie Sanders’ record on guns could hurt him in New York.

ERICH SCHLEGEL FOR USA TODAY

Lonnie and Sandy Phillips, top, speak about their daughter, Jessica Redfield Ghawi (inset), who died in the 2012 Colorado theater rampage.

York City and the suburbs, where most people live, said Spitzer.

The issue is also timely because the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims are suing the makers of the Bushmaster AR-15 assault rifle used to kill 20 students and six adults at the elementary school in Newtown. The families argue that gun companies are negligent to market and sell a military-style weapon to the general public.

New York is shaping up as a major battlefield after Sanders beat Clinton in six of the past seven Democratic contests. She’s ahead in polls in New York, but Sanders could benefit from the state’s strong progressive bent.

The one issue where Sanders is vulnerable is guns. Phillips believes the bill Sanders is co-sponsoring falls short. “Bernie wants to throw us a bone, he knows it’s not going to go through,” he said.

The Islamic State’s presence in Libya has doubled over the past year, but the political chaos in the country has prevented the United States and its allies from building a local ground force needed to confront the militants, U.S. officials said.

The number of Islamic State fighters in Libya has grown to 6,000 fighters, Army Gen. David Rodriguez, commander of U.S. Africa Command, said Thursday.

The Pentagon stands ready to support a Libyan national military if current efforts to build a central government succeed and if the new government wants help. “It’s going to be driven by their leadership,” Rodriguez said.

Last week’s arrival of a prime minister to head a new U.N.backed unity government is providing hope that Libyans will form a legitimate central government in a country that spiraled into chaos after the collapse of Moammar Gadhafi’s regime in 2011.

The acquisition, which was announced in October, is expected to be completed Friday.

In the deal, Gannett is paying about $280 million for the Milwaukee-based company, which owns the 178-year-old “Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,” “The Commercial Appeal” of Memphis, 13 other daily newspapers, 18 weeklies and their affiliated websites in 14 U.S. markets.

REASONS WHY STOCK RALLY HAS STALLED

Adam Shell l USA TODAY

A

fter a big rally that helped Wall Street sidestep its first bear market since the 2008 financial crisis, the U.S. stock market has caught a fresh case of the blahs.

The bullish optimism and positive momentum that powered stocks more than 13% higher since the midFebruary lows have faded. Caution and skepticism have taken root. Stocks have stopped going up and have finished lower three of the past four sessions. The market looks tired. The risk-off mentality is back. And the upside for stocks from current levels could be limited due to nagging headwinds, some Wall Street pros say.

“It’s like the market is now carrying a 50-pound sack of sand on its shoulders,” says Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network.

And there’s a few reasons why the stock market seems gassed: Stocks had a big run

The stock market isn’t cheap

PAY YOUR TAXES IN CASH AT CERTAIN 7-ELEVEN STORES The Internal Revenue Service announced Wednesday that taxpayers who don’t have a bank account or credit card can now pay their tax bills with cash at one of 7,000 participating 7-Eleven stores in 34 states. Previously they would have had to trek to an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center. The maximum payment is $1,000 per day, and each payment requires a $3.99 fee.

LONGTIME MCDONALD’S CHAIRMAN TO RETIRE Andrew McKenna is retiring after a quarter-century as a director at McDonald’s, the last dozen as chairman. The world’s largest hamburger chain will elect a new independent chairman at its annual meeting May 26. McDonald’s has had seven CEOs during McKenna’s tenure as a board member. McKenna, 86, will be chairman emeritus after he steps down. He is also on the board of the NFL’s Chicago Bears.

STOCKS HAD A BIG RUN.

A 13.3% gain in seven weeks is a big move. How big?

That’s 3 percentage points more than the long-term average gain of 10% for a full year. Stocks, analysts say, were vulnerable to profit taking.

The quarterly profits season kicks off next week when aluminum giant Alcoa reports results. And the outlook for first-quarter 2016 earnings is bleak. Analysts forecast a nearly 7% contraction in earnings, down from a 2.3% gain forecast back on Jan. 1, according to Thomson Reuters.

Stocks had a big run

Whatever bargains were available earlier this year when stocks were in freefall are long gone following the rebound rally. The market is trading at more than 17 times earnings estimates for the next four quarters, Thomson Reuters data show. And that’s more expensive than the priceto-earnings ratio, or P-E, of 15 back at the February market low and well above the long-term average P-E ratio of 14.7.

A more expensive market has The stock market isn’t cheap

Profit outlook is bleak

INTEREST RATE POLICY REMAINS A WILD CARD.

Sure, the Federal Reserve said last month that it only plans to hike interest rates two times this year – not four.

And the minutes of its March meeting suggest a rate hike this month isn’t likely. Still, uncertainty related to the Janet Yellen-led Fed’s plans still persists as strong jobs data in the U.S. collides with risks from abroad, still-low inflation and a recent slowdown in U.S. economic growth.

The growing dissension on the Fed between voting members who want to hike rates sooner, or the so-called “hawks,” and the “doves” like Yellen who want to take a more cautious approach also increases market angst.

“The rising level of dissent radically changes how the market perceives emerging Fed policy,” McMillan says.

slowed the rally and likely will put a ceiling on gains.

“It’s valuation, pure and simple,” Ablin says.

The race for the White House is still very much up for grabs. And many of the candidates — and their policies — are deemed outside the mainstream, which worries Wall Street.

Nobody is predicting a major stock downdraft given that the economy remains in decent shape despite the somewhat lofty stock valuations. And stocks still look attractive when compared to bonds, where yields are still very low.

“If you don’t own stocks, what are you going to hold,” Ablin says.

Political risk is elevated

JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank, urged shareholders to reject a proposal asking it to re-examine its size at a time when calls for breaking up the banks are growing louder.

Both JPMorgan and Citigroup face shareholder proposals this year calling on them to review how shareholders might benefit from a sale of “all non-core banking business segments,” such as investment banking and trading.

The proposals, by Bartlett Naylor of non-profit advocacy group Public Citizen, ask that they set up committees of independent directors to examine the issue.

“All of them suffer from a too-big-tomanage problem,” Naylor GETTY IMAGES said in an interview, citing the Kashkari billions in fines banks have had to pay out in recent years for allegations of wrongdoing in trading and sales.

“As an American, I am also worried about blowing up the world economy,” Naylor said, referring to the risks of large banks’ trading operations.

In announcing its annual meeting Thursday, JPMorgan urged shareholders to reject Naylor’s proposal, saying the bank actually benefits from its girth.

Separating its businesses would “incur significant costs resulting from the need to duplicate corporate functions,” such as the money it spends on cybersecurity, the New York bank argued.

Shareholders will vote on the proposal at JPMorgan’s annual shareholder meeting on May 17.

Citigroup, which is holding its shareholder meeting April 26, has also urged shareholders to reject the proposal, which echos complaints from the financial crisis that some banks had grown “too big to fail.”

Calls for breaking up the banks have gained renewed steam in recent months, and not just from Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who has made breaking up the banks one of the tenants of his campaign.

The new head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, shocked Wall Street earlier this year when he said policymakers should consider breaking up the biggest banks to avoid another government bailout.

Uber fined $25 million for unfair practices As part of the settlement, San Francisco-based Uber will no longer use phrases such as “safest ride on the road.”

Elizabeth Weise USA TODAY

Uber has agreed to pay up to $25 million to settle a lawsuit filed by San Francisco and Los Angeles alleging the ridehailing service engaged in unfair business practices.

The suit sends a clear message to businesses, especially startups, “that in the quest to quickly obtain market share, laws designed to protect consumers cannot be ignored. If a business acts like it is above the law, it will pay a heavy price,” said San Francisco district attorney George Gascón.

As part of the settlement, San Francisco-based Uber will cease claiming that its background checks are the toughest in the industry and will no longer use phrases such as “safest ride on the road” or describe its background checks as “the gold standard,” the company said in a statement.

The suit was brought by GasSAN FRANCISCO

Uber must pay $10 million within 60 days. The other $15 million can be waived in two years if Uber complies with all terms. cón and Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey.

“We are pleased that Uber has agreed to comply with state consumer laws,” said Lacey. “With this settlement, the ride-sharing company has pledged to communicate honestly about its driver background checks and airport

fees.”

Under the terms of the settlement, Uber will pay $10 million within 60 days, split equally between the two cities.

The remaining $15 million penalty can be waived in two years if Uber complies with all of the terms of the settlement.

The suit originally was filed in 2014. According to the district attorneys, it also contributed to Uber’s agreement to pay restitution to victims of unfair business practices in several private classaction settlements.

Uber agreed to pay restitution totaling $1.8 million to settle claims from riders who were charged for fake “airport fee tolls,” a statement from Gascón’s office said. Uber has agreed to allow ride sharing only at California airports where it has explicit permission, which includes San Francisco, Los Angeles, Burbank, San Jose, Oakland, Orange County, Monterey, Sacramento, Santa Barbara and Modesto.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch David Craig @davidgcraig USA TODAY

NEW YORK Blame lasting effects of the stock market’s worst start ever to a year. Blame uncertainties about the economy and interest rates. Blame the government.

But one thing is for sure, it’s been a bad year for deals.

First, look at mergers and acquisitions. So far, just $266 billion worth of U.S. deals have been announced in 2016, Dealogic says. If that pace keeps up, the deal total at the end of the year will be half the $2.3 trillion total for 2015.

And that’s if the pace keeps up.

With scuttled mergers such as the $160 billion tie-up between Pfizer and Allergan, this could be a record year for canceled deals, Richard Peterson at S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

Facts about America’s investors who use SigFig tracking services:

Then consider IPOs. Companies aren’t exactly eager to sell their stock to the public for the first time. So far just nine companies have launched initial public offerings in 2016, a 75% drop from a year earlier, Renaissance Capital says.

There are some glimmers of life in IPOs. Aeglea Biotherapeutics started trading Thursday, though it had to slash its IPO price to $10 from the $16-$18 expected range. And the first nonbiotech IPO of the year, exchange operator Bats Global Markets, could be out next week.

But a healthy deal market needs a healthy stock market.

And stocks have started to look wobbly again. The Dow was off 174 points to 17,542 Thursday.

Add to that the souring mood toward mergers in Washington, and there’s not exactly reason to expect the doldrums to lift soon.

Go ahead, have seconds of these savory stocks Q: Why are food stocks so hot?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Tech and biotech companies might be best-known for being money-making machines. But for investors this year, it’s been hard to resist some piping-hot food stocks.

Pepsico, McDonald’s, food distribution company Sysco and meat processor Tyson Foods are trading around all-time highs.

Another food processor, ConAgra, also set a new all-time high Thursday after reporting strong quarterly results for the period ended in February.

Shares of ConAgra, which makes everything from Chef Boyardee to Banquet frozen dinners, jumped 66 cents, or 1.5%, to $46.09 after reporting an adjusted profit per share of 68 cents a share, beating expectations by 17%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

That puts the stock already where analysts, on average, thought it would be worth in 18 months.

Investors are grabbing onto shares of food stocks because of their tendency to maintain profit no matter what kind of shape the economy is in. Even when the economy softens, consumers still need to eat.

This innate durability of food companies’ earnings makes them appealing at a time like now when there’s uncertainty about earnings and economic growth.

Amid gloomy outlook for tech stocks, a few sunny spots John Shinal

@johnshinal Special for USA TODAY

An “earnings recession” still hangs over the tech sector as it heads into firstquarter earnings season. And until that bearish trend reverses, it’s likely to put a cap on bullish stock rallies.

Tech-sector profits are expectTHE NEW TECH ECONOMY

ed to fall 7.7% on a slight uptick in sales, according to Zacks Research.

That’s almost as bearish as the 10% year-over-year drop in profit and 2% lower sales to start the year for the S&P 500 as a whole.

Those numbers help explain why the stock market in general and the Nasdaq in particular started the year with steep drops.

Stocks need stronger earnings to power higher and falter when profits fall.

After an impressive market rebound in February and March, which came as fears of a U.S. recession receded, all eyes this

month will be on quarterly results and full-year forecasts.

With three months in the books this year, however, both corporate America and the tech sector remain mired in the same negative profit stretch that started last summer.

The fact that Q1 profits are expected to fall amid flat-to-lower revenue suggests U.S. companies are facing higher operating costs, including for labor.

Year-over-year drops in revenue, meanwhile, show the effects of a flagging global economy and stronger U.S. dollar.

The lower sales are also a re-

minder that the increasing amount of money being spent on share buybacks by American CFOs does nothing to help grow a company’s business.

Amid the gloomy overall picture, however, some technology firms are expected to post double-digit growth in both sales and profit. Those include Facebook (FB), Adobe Systems (ADBE) and Alibaba (BABA).

Yet because they stand out in the current environment, investors have already pushed shares of such companies to pricey valuations.

All of this is part of a new real-

ity for investors reported here back in January. After a six-year bull market, those who buy tech stocks can no longer expect a rising tide that lifts all boats.

Rather, it’s a stock-picker’s market, requiring the ability to spot the winners and avoid the losers. Leaner profit environments have a tendency to separate out the two, so that’s not likely to change until profit growth returns.

BEVERLY HILLS Those chinskimming turtlenecks have come a long way, baby.

Fifteen-some years ago, the character Michelle Darnell was born in the back of a sketch comedy club. This weekend, Melissa McCarthy’s no-nonsense billionaire — who winds up in jail and is forced to reinvent herself as the head of a kid-centric brownie empire — is getting a national audience in The Boss (in theaters nationwide Friday).

Little has changed from sketch to movie studio — not even the character’s French tips. In those early days at The Groundlings comedy club, the character driving The Boss had “short red spiky hair, a turtleneck up to here, big earrings,” McCarthy, 45, says with a laugh. “A huge long change (between sets) was two minutes and I still put her in French tip press-ons.”

Back then, McCarthy held seminars in character on “How to Make Money and Not Be a Sucker.” In the R-rated movie, her character is a one-liner-spewing synthesis of Suze Orman’s financial truth-downs, Oprah’s arena-filling power, Kevin Hart’s pyrotechnics and Donald Trump’s bluster.

After McCarthy broke out of Bridesmaids and went on to con-

Melissa McCarthy dreamed up her Boss character in a comedy sketch years ago, and “I could just never shake her.” tinue to craft her own brand of comedy in movies such as Identity Thief, The Heat and Spy, she kept coming back to Darnell, whispering ideas to husband (and The Boss director) Ben Falcone in the dead of night. “I could just never shake her,” she says.

In the movie, she’s forced to live with her former assistant (Kristen Bell), sleeping on her couch and babysitting her daughter. That’s when Darnell dreams up a money-grab comeback using the work of children and Claire’s family brownie recipe — until a business foe and former lover (Peter Dinklage) gets in her way.

The Boss’ blend of crass jokes, physical comedy and even physical fights spurred on between children works because “Melissa’s comedy comes from a very happy place,” Bell says. “I believe that’s why people are so on board

with anything she does.”

It’s true, McCarthy is captivatingly nice in person. So where does all of her character’s fearsomely funny charisma come from? She laughs, calling work catharsis. “I get out all my rage at work. And then I come home and I’m super-boring.”

This boss’ next goal? To shake up women’s fashion through her clothing line, Melissa McCarthy Seven7.

“I’m trying to get rid of all the crazy things of ‘Don’t wear prints’ and ‘Only wear dark colors,’ ” she says, noting that “slowly” stores and magazines are eliminating the term “plus-size” and carrying a wider range of sizes.

“I certainly think it would be more fun if a group of women of all different sizes can go and shop together. I’m working on it as hard as I can.”

THIS IS AN ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING of the $6 million apartment project that’s part of the Bauer Farm commercial development at the northwest corner of Sixth and Folks Road.

ou’ve probably noticed a major construction project is underway at Sixth and Folks Road. I know I’ve certainly received questions about the big pile of dirt that is being created on site, and my attorney tells me I can actually answer questions about this dirt pile. (Let’s just say an aggressive dandelion eradication program has left some difficult dirt pile questions in my past.) As we have reported, a multimillion dollar apartment complex is being built at the intersection, and now I have renderings of the project to share.

City officials have issued a building permit for $6 million worth of multifamily apartment construction as part of the Bauer Farm commercial development at the northwest corner of Sixth and Folks Road. The project will add 100 apartment units to the area. We previously reported on the apartment complex when plans for the project were filed several months ago. But I know you have forgotten that, and now you want to know what the project will look like. I do have renderings of the project now, courtesy of Lawrence-based Treanor Architects, which is

I’ve also received questions about the construction underway just east of the Wal-Mart at Sixth and Wakarusa. As we’ve reported a few times, that is a multitenant building that will house Spin Neapolitan Pizza. The building also is planned to house one other restaurant. There’s certainly been speculation that it will be the Blue Moose Bar & Grill, a Kansas City-based chain, but there’s been no confirmation on that.

Construction scene off to strong start The city has released its building permit report for February. It shows construction activity is off to a slower start in 2016 compared with a year ago, but it is important to remember that 2015 was a record year for Lawrence construction.

City officials in the first two months of 2016 have issued permits for $36.2 million worth of construction. That’s down from the $53.5 million issued in the same period a year ago. But the $36.2 million

total is still the second highest total since at least 2009. In other words, the construction scene isn’t as busy as it was last year, but it is still off to a very strong start.

The $6 million Bauer Farm apartment project is thus far the largest single project started in the city in 2016.

One area to keep an eye on is single family home and duplex construction. As I reported earlier, real estate agents are expressing concern about the falling inventory levels in the single-family home market. The market has become tight due to a lower number of houses on the market. That may be a cue for builders to start building new homes at a faster rate. Thus far, though, we haven’t seen that in the numbers.

The city has issued 18 permits for single-family and duplex construction thus far in 2016. That’s down 20 from the same period a year ago.

The 18 permits basically are in line with the five-year average of housing starts. So, no homebuilding spike yet. We’ll see if one is to come.

Renovating a kitchen? Consider built-in seating

Cool variations If you can’t commit to a fully built-in breakfast area — or if you worry your kitchen will look too much like a roadside diner — Canada suggests adding a banquette to just one side of the kitchen dining area.

“This gives you the best of both worlds,” she says, “an architectural feature that provides storage and easy seating, and the opportunity to mix things up with chairs.”

This approach is cheaper to build and easier to remove if you want something different later.

One popular option: Extend the bench the entire length of one wall, installing open or closed storage underneath.

“A table at one end for kitchen dining, general seating for those times when everyone ends up in the kitchen, and a space near the door that serves as a landing area for shoes, backpacks and jackets,” Canada says. “Add some hooks above the bench, and baskets below, and you’ll find that clutter disappears effortlessly.”

By Melissa Rayworth Associated Press

The term “breakfast nook” sounds hopelessly trapped in the 1970s, but modern homeowners are embracing the style and practicality of built-in seating in the kitchen.

“The idea of the built-in, with the kids piled in it and the pillows” can bring the casual fun of a beach house or farmhouse to any home, says Massachusetts-based interior designer Kristina Crestin, featured this season on “This Old House.”

Maxwell Ryan, founder of ApartmentTherapy.com, says built-in kitchen seating can maximize space in smaller kitchens and highlight a great window view. It can even become the most distinctive design element in your home.

“People, especially children, will gravitate toward it,” Ryan says. “Who doesn’t like to get a booth at the diner over a table?”

Practical and pretty For homeowners with an open-plan kitchen, built-in seating creates a cozy gathering place that functions like a formal dining room but is right in the heart of the cooking and socializing.

In smaller kitchens, a nook allows the dining table to be positioned along a wall or in a corner without looking as if it were stuffed awkwardly out of the way.

Built-ins also offer lots of space for storage.

“The space underneath a built-in banquette is ripe with possibilities,” says stylist and crafter Marianne Canada, host of the “HGTV Crafternoon” web series. Closed cabinets can be designed to match your existing cabinetry, or you can add open shelving, she says, to “add texture with baskets, show off your cookbook collection, even use it to store large ceramic bowls that take up too much cabinet space.”

Just be sure the design of the built-in seating area matches

Fabrics One big draw of built-in kitchen seating is the softness and color of the cushions and pillows. A tip from Crestin: Invest in high-quality fabric in a pattern and colors that are neutral enough you can love them for years to come. Then get really creative with fabrics for loose pillows, spending a bit less so you can swap those out seasonally for new ones when the urge strikes.

“You can easily swap out the fabric on the seat or the paint on the backrest anytime you want to shake up your kitchen AP Photo decor,” he says.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Millennials fuel apartment-building boom; will it last?

Denver (ap) — Jason and Rebecca Petersen’s lives are in flux, just as they are for many young families. They like life as renters in the urban neighborhood here called LoHi, where apartments are steadily replacing single-family houses, and crowds of millennials flock to trendy shops and restaurants.

But will they buy a house in the suburbs as their son, 3-yearold Lucas, nears school age? It’s a possibility, if jobs lead them there, or they go in search of better schools. But they would miss the lively neighborhood and its short walk downtown, through a scenic park where Lucas loves to ride his bicycle.

“We’d like to stay here. It’s just more vibrant,” said Jason, 30, a stay-at-home dad who develops software while wife Rebecca finishes her medical residency.

The Petersens, like other millennials — who were born after 1980, have a taste for city life, and are willing to move in search of work — have helped fuel a boom in apartment construction unlike anything in recent decades. They tend to have careers that were delayed by the recession, and to lack the job security or savings to settle down and buy a home.

Construction started on 386,000 new apartments last year, according to census data, the highest number since 1987.

Apartments, defined as housing units in buildings with five or more units, made up 35 percent of all home construction last year, the highest share since 1973.

Forty-seven states saw construction shift from houses toward apartments, as measured by approval of permits,

between 2005 and 2014, the most recent complete year of census data. The shift was especially dramatic in western states such as Colorado, where multifamily units made up 38 percent of new construction permits in 2014, up from just 10 percent in 2005.

Debate rages over whether a turning point has been reached as millennials begin to enter their late 20s and early 30s.

Will they stay in the urban spots they’ve come to love or will many move to the suburbs to have children, just as their boomer parents did, for more space, better schools and less crime?

The National Association of Home Builders predicts little growth in multifamily construction this year, with renewed emphasis on single-family homes, said

economist Robert Dietz.

But Jonathan Spader, a research associate at the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, said the need for new urban apartments is likely to continue. The center released a study of rental housing in December.

Rents are rising and vacancy rates for apartments are near 30-year lows, Spader said, and if some older millennials are buying houses, younger ones are still waiting for a chance to move out on their own.

The annual share of firsttime homebuyers is at its lowest ebb in three decades, according to a National Association of Realtors report, and a new 3-percent-down program had little effect in 2015. Buyers have been discouraged by higher home prices and mortgage rates, and rising rents are

making it harder for them to save, the report said.

“Those things together suggest a bull market at the national level,” for apartments, Spader said. “Growth in demand is rising and new multifamily construction, at least in the short term, is here to stay.”

Colorado state demographer Elizabeth Garner doesn’t see the trend stopping any time soon, because the influx caught the construction industry flatfooted after the housing bust in 2007. “Some people might consider it a boom. I consider it making up lost ground,” Garner said.

But it may be time to build more single-family units, she said. “Ownership is good for society because there’s more investment. People feel more invested in the community and more invested in the schools.”

Home prices, sales continue to increase

L

awrence is still very much a seller’s market when it comes to real estate. According to figures recently released by the Lawrence Board of Realtors, home sales rose by 13.3 percent in February compared with the same time in 2015.

“The spring market has definitely arrived,” said Carl Cline, president of the board of realtors.

“Our local market is emulating what is happening nationally, with a shortage of supply causing upward pressure on pricing as buyers compete for homes.”

The median sale price for February in Lawrence was $142,500, up from $119, 300 last year. A total of 51 units were sold, compared with 45 in February 2015. The homes were on the market an average of 41 days and sold for 97 percent of their list price.

By the end of February, there were 255 active listings on the market. That averages to a fivemonths’ supply of homes available for sale. The median list price of those homes was $250,000.

Real Estate Matters

Linda Ditch lindaaditch@gmail.com

In new construction, sales were down in February by 66.7 percent.

Two sales happened, compared with six in the same period last year. However, the average sale price of a new home was $539,846, which is a 35.5 percent increase from last year.

For 2016 as a whole, 91 homes have sold in Lawrence so far, which is a slight decrease from last year.

The average home price has increased 7.8 percent to $190.769.

For Douglas County, excluding Lawrence, February sales were off slightly from 2015. Only two units sold, compared with three last year. However, the median sale price was $505,000, up from $261,000 a year ago. Homes sold in the county in February were on the market an average of 189 days and sold for 94.4 percent of the list price.

There were 21 active listings in Douglas County at the end of February, which translates into a 10.5-months’ supply of homes available for sale outside of Lawrence. The median list price of these homes was $360,000.

“Realtors are busy,” Cline noted.

“In Lawrence during February, 135 newly listed homes hit the market, and 109 contracts were accepted by sellers. MLS wide, in Lawrence and the surrounding areas, we saw 202 new listings in February, with 169 accepted contracts. Buyers and sellers need to commit to their realtor of choice now to have the best possible competitive advantage in this tight market.”

Lightfoot included in All-Star contest

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

Close calls

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Future Kansas University basketball forward Mitch Lightfoot, a 6-foot-8, 217-pound senior from Gilbert Christian High School in Arizona, has accepted an invitation to play in the Ball is Life All-America game April 30, at Long Beach City College in California.

Other top players who have said they’ll be competing include Terrance Ferguson, a 6-6 senior guard from Dallas Advanced Prep who has a final list of KU, Arizona, Baylor, North Carolina, N.C. State and Maryland, plus Arizona signee Rawle Alkins, UCLA signee Lonzo Ball, Baylor signee Mark Vital and Auburn signee Mustapha Heron.

Lightfoot, who is ranked No. 117 nationally in the recruiting Class of 2016 by Rivals.com, recently was named Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Arizona. He averaged 22.6 points, 11.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks his senior season for the 21-6 Knights, who lost in the second round of the state tournament after winning it last year.

Lightfoot had 39 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks in a December victory over Laveen Cesar Chavez. He had 29 points and 21 rebounds in a January win over Tempe Marcos deNiza, 30 points in a sectional playoff semifinal win over Seton Catholic and 25 points and 16 rebounds in a 60-57 season-ending playoff loss to Nogales. He scored at least 20 points in 18 games.

“I have known Mitch Lightfoot since his middle school days and am definitely a fan of his, except when he plays against us. We saw a lot of great teams but no player was as valuable and talented as him. I believe what separates him from all the other (Gatorade) candidates is his character and academic focus that makes him a complete student-athlete,” Doug D’Amore, head coach at Catalina Foothills High told Gatorade officials.

Gatorade reports that Lightfoot has a 3.73 grade point average, is a volunteer for an assisted living facility and serves as a mentor for students at an elementary charter school.

The Ball is Life game will start at 8 p.m., Central time, and be streamed on Youtube.com according to the event’s official website. l

KU, Hoyas halted series at two: The current fouryear series between KU and Georgetown will stop at two games — KU victories in the 2014-15 season in Washington, D.C., and in Allen Fieldhouse in 2013-14.

The news was reported at casualhoya.com on Thursday.

However, it actually turned out to be old news.

KU schedule maker Larry Keating said the schools decided to cut the four-year series in half before the KU-Georgetown game was contested in 2014-15. Both schools had scheduling conflicts in 2015-16.

Both teams have challenging nonconference schedules in 2016-17. Casualhoya. com reports that the Hoyas have home games against Maryland and UConn and a contest at Syracuse. KU Please see HOOPS, page 3E

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR PITCHER DAONTE LOWERY (3) THROWS against Olathe Northwest Thursday during the Lions’ 10-9 win at LHS.

Five-run fifth sparks Lions to 10-9 win

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A backup senior infielder for Lawrence High, Colton Lovelace doesn’t gets many plate appearances, nor often see his name listed with the starters on the Lions’ lineup card.

However, his teammates and coach Brad Stoll trust Lovelace to succeed within his role when called upon.

Thursday evening at LHS, the 5-foot-9 pinch-hitter came through with a one-out single in the bottom of the fifth against Olathe Northwest, sparking a five-run inning that gave Lawrence the lead for good in a 10-9 victory.

During the previous inning, Lovelace prepared for his cameo by taking some mental at bats in the dugout, watching ONW left-hander Mason Green closely, armed with the knowledge he would see him in the fifth.

After fighting off two inside pitches in a tie game, Lovelace slapped an outside, two-strike fastball to right field. By the time he returned to the dugout, he had crossed home plate to give LHS a 6-5 lead, its first of the game.

“I felt great,” Lovelace said after delivering his first varsity hit in his seventh at bat of the spring. “I think it got everybody just energized and Ivan (Hollins) followed me up with a walk, and Reese (Carmona) had a clutch base hit with a drag bunt down the line. I just thought everybody did a good job of piggy-backing off each other. And that’s kind of our motto — kind of like the Royals — just keep the line moving. That’s what we have to do.”

Sophomore Andrew Stewart drove Lovelace in with a sacrifice fly. From there, senior Brad Kincaid drew a walk, and sophomore Devin Lauts smacked the ball down the third-base line, plating

two more runs on an error.

Senior Parker Kirkpatrick kept the rally going with a two-out single, and the Lions (3-4) took a 10-5 lead into the sixth after senior Daonte Lowery knocked in two more runs with a double.

Said Kincaid, who went 2-for-3, with a double and a triple: “It’s awesome to see guys come off the bench and always be ready to hit. And then when someone gets a hit, hitting’s contagious for us. We’ve seen it for the past two games now. We’re just pounding the ball around the yard. As soon as one person gets it, it just gets our train going, and there’s no stopping us.”

The third inning actually might have been equally important for the Lions, who had fallen behind 4-0, after two scoreless innings for both teams. LHS tied the game up by matching the Ravens with a four-run third of their own, highlighted by a

two-run triple off the bat of Kincaid, an RBI-double to the right-field gap by Lauts and a sac fly to center from Lowery.

Stoll said the Lions should be more relaxed in those must-have innings now that they’ve proven they can respond. Plus, they have senior Luke Padia (2-for-4) back in the starting lineup.

“We all feel there are some bats in there now,” Stoll said, “and when we’re down we can barrel some bats up and get right back in a baseball game, which we did tonight successfully.”

Kincaid closed the victory after ONW scored four runs off reliever Cade Burghart in the sixth. After walking two of the first three batters he faced in the seventh, Kincaid trusted his defense, recording outs with a fly ball to center and a pop-up just behind second base.

Firebirds’ 6-5 victory no work of art

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

Baseball Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson won’t be calling to acquire a video of Free State High’s 6-5 victory against visiting Olathe East any time soon. The game, played on yet another ultrawindy day Thursday was less than a classic.

Idelson might, however, be interested in framing the scorecard in Cooperstown to illustrate how it’s possible for a game that features 11 runs to have just one RBI. Zion Bowlin, third baseman for the Firebirds (6-1), had a couple of nice trips to the plate during his three-hit day, but a trip that resulted in the game’s only RBI just didn’t happen to be one of them.

In the second inning, Bowlin came to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded (on two walks and an infield hit).

Heat 106, Bulls 98 Miami — The way the Miami Heat played defense in the final minutes, it’s clear they want to be at home when the playoffs begin.

And they pretty much ensured that the Chicago Bulls will be home for the entire postseason. Dwyane Wade scored 21 points, Joe Johnson added 17 and the Heat shook off a slow first half to beat the Bulls on Thursday night, clamping down in the final minutes for their ninth win in the last 10 home games.

Free State follows game plan but loses, 4-2

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s softball team had a simple game plan against Olathe Northwest on Thursday: Don’t let leadoff hitters reach base in each inning and keep crooked numbers off of the scoreboard.

The Firebirds followed their plan to near perfection. But anything less than perfect makes it tough against last season’s Class 6A state runner-up and the Firebirds paid the price for their mistakes in a 4-2 loss in their home opener at FSHS. The Ravens (5-0) only put the leadoff hitter on base twice — doubles from sophomore Shayna Espy in the fourth and sixth innings. In both innings, the Ravens ended up with a pair of runs and the Firebirds didn’t help themselves with a couple of errors.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said. “I told them we played with them and had them on the ropes for five innings so I’m pretty pleased with the effort and game plan that

His nubber toward third base didn’t have enough juice on it to reach the third baseman in time for him to make a play, so he ate the ball without making a throw and Matt Hill scored from third with a run that put Free State up 3-2.

Bowlin’s infield hit off the end of the bat stood up as the game-winning RBI. Bowlin also lined a single to center and one to right.

“It was an outside pitch, so I just rolled over, got lucky pretty much,” Bowlin said.

Oklahoma-bound Trevor Munsch (2-1) was the winning pitcher, but he wasn’t boasting afterward. Munsch struck out nine batters, walked six and allowed two hits in his five-inning start.

“That was probably one of the worst outings I’ve had at Free State,” Munsch said. “I can’t walk that many. It’s just not acceptable, but it worked out. We got the win, but I’ve got to get better. I couldn’t control my fastball and it got in my head somewhat. It can’t happen again.”

A long, lean left-hander armed with a nasty breaking ball, missed some time during last season’s state-championship season with a sore elbow.

“It has felt so much better than last year,” Munsch said. “I’m staying healthy and it’s going well for the most part.”

Lions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1E

Stewart and Braden Solko bumped into each other on the final out, Solko kept the ball from reaching the turf and tying the game.

“I almost had a heart attack,” Kincaid said, with a laugh. “That was crazy.”

Stoll expected Kincaid to pitch himself out of the jam.

“He’s closing for us because of that,” the coach said.

FREE STATE HIGH PITCHER ELIZABETH PATTON (40) CELEBRATES a strikeout with teammate Emily Byers (45) during the Firebirds’ game against Olathe Northwest Thursday at FSHS. we executed. We pitched well. That’s a good team.”

The Firebirds opened with a 2-0 lead in the first inning against ONW junior pitcher Aubree Herrin, who shut them out twice last season, including a season-ending loss in the sub-state championship game.

In the first inning, Free

State (1-2) loaded the bases from singles by seniors Hailey Jump and Kate Stanwix and junior Dacia Starr, setting up senior Emily Byers for a tworun double into the rightcenter gap. Stanwix was thrown out at the plate trying to score from first.

“I had two strikes and I just knew I had to swing,”

said Byers, who went 2-for-3 and lined into a double play. “I finally made good contact.”

The Firebirds had seven hits in the first three innings, but they couldn’t plate any more runs and they stranded two runners in the third inning.

Then Free State went hitless for the final four

Munsch’s first inning painted an accurate forecast for his day in that it featured him struggling to find the strike zone and escaping in the clutch. He walked the bases loaded and escaped the jam unscathed on a called third strike. The first six batters: Walk, strikeout, walk, strikeout, walk, strikeout.

“Trevor came through when we needed him to come through,” Bowlin said. “We can definitely show better than we did tonight.”

Both teams scored one run on a double-steal, one run on an infielder’s throwing error to third base to try to nail a runner taking an extra base.

Free State scored a run on a balk, Olathe East two runs on wild pitches.

“Almost every conceivable way to score without the tradition way, which is get a base hit with a guy in scoring position. It was a weird baseball game. We have a recipe for success,” Free State coach Mike Hill said, meaning pitching and defense. “We’ve been able to play to that recipe on a consistent basis and today we got totally away from that. We have very good pitchers.

Today just wasn’t their day. We didn’t make a lot of physical errors, but mentally from a defensive perspective we were not what we should be.”

The standings don’t ask how, just how many.

“You can bemoan that,” Hill said of the quality of the game. “On the other hand, we still won a ball-

game. Despite not playing the way we want to play, we won.”

A number of hitters produced quality at bats, including Bradley Collicott, who reached on an infield hit and drew two walks, and Kyle Abrahamson, who smashed a high fly to the gap in right-center for a leadoff double in the two-run fourth, an inning that ended with Free State building its lead to 6-3.

Olathe East staged a two-run rally in the seventh, but it fell short when junior right-hander Aaron Funk struck out the final two batters to leave a runner stranded on third. His funky inning on the mound actually included four strikeouts.

Olathe East’s Kurt Paldino made it all the way to second base on a strikeout/wild pitch.

Perhaps the answer to Free State and the Hawks (3-4), two solid baseball teams, playing an atypically sloppy game was blowing in the wind.

Can you ever remember such a windy spring?

“No, I cannot,” said Hill, the coach, not the shortstop. “It has been really bad. Baseball players can adapt to the cold. They can even play with moisture, but the wind is not fun. It changes the game, but it changes the game for both teams. It’s been awfully bad.”

innings, finishing with 10 strikeouts, including four called third strikes.

“She struck us out a lot last year and we were expecting some really good movement,” Byers said.

“She left a lot over the plate. I think our bats just went down a little bit. We got excited and we just kind of flatlined.”

Ice added: “We squared up some balls that would be off the wall or out of the ballpark. Today, with the wind blowing in 30 or 40 miles per hour, they are popups.”

Facing a lineup that’s scored at least seven runs in every game this season, Free State senior right-hander Elizabeth Patton was at her best.

She struck out five in seven innings, only giving up two earned runs on six hits.

Along with strong command in the circle, Patton received some help from her defense. In the second inning, Jump sprinted from center field into the left-center gap and made a diving catch near the warning track.

In the fifth inning, junior shortstop Mayah Daniels made a diving catch to her left on a scorching line drive up the middle.

“We’ve gotten better,” Starr said. “We have the parts now. We just have to put it all together.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Latos, Sox subdue A’s STANDINGS

The Associated Press

American League White Sox 6, Athletics 1 Oakland, Calif. — Mat Latos gave up one hit over six innings for his first win since last July, Jose Abreu hit a two-run homer, and Chicago beat Oakland to give manager Robin Ventura his 300th career win.

A free agent who struggled this spring after signing with Chicago in the offseason, Latos (1-0) was stellar in his White Sox debut while striking out two and walking one.

He retired 13 of the first 14 batters and didn’t allow a baserunner until Chris Coghlan’s one-out single in the fifth — one pitch after left fielder J.B. Shuck dropped Coghlan’s foul ball.

Abreu homered on a 1-1 pitch from Oakland starter Kendall Graveman in the sixth. The White Sox slugger added a sacrifice fly during Chicago’s fourrun ninth.

Yankees 8, Astros 5 New York — Mark Teixeira sliced a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh inning and Starlin Castro connected again, sending New York past Houston.

The Yankees took two of three in the seasonopening series against the team that beat them in the AL wild-card game last October. The game began 12 minutes late because of rain, and Yankee Stadium was far less than half-filled.

Castro kept up his torrid start with a solo home run and a single off the wall, making him 7 for 12. The former Cubs infielder has eight RBIs, the most by any player in his first three games for the Yankees since the stat became official in 1920, STATS said.

Brian McCann also homered for the Yankees and Jacoby Ellsbury doubled twice.

CHICAGO PITCHER MAT LATOS DELIVERS against Oakland.

Latos earned the victory as the White Sox defeated the Athletics, 6-1, on Thursday in Oakland, Calif. first-inning homer to Joe Mauer and an unearned run in the second before bouncing back to hold the Twins at bay. The righthander allowed eight hits, struck out nine and walked none.

Jimenez retired 12 of the final 14 batters he faced, striking out seven.

Orioles rookie Dylan Bundy worked the eighth and Darren O’Day got three straight outs for his first save.

It was the first time the Twins were swept in Baltimore since 2012, when they also went 0-3 to open the season.

Minnesota went 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position after going 1 for 12 in those situations over the first two games of the series.

Marlins 6, Nationals 4 Washington — Miami reliever David Phelps entered after a rain delay and shut out Washington for four innings while delivering his first career RBI at the plate, and the Marlins spoiled the Nationals’ sloppy home opener in front of a dwindling crowd.

While Phelps (1-0) replaced Adam Conley following a 1-hour, 25-minute break because of a thunderstorm in the second with the score 3-all, Nationals starter Tanner Roark (0-1) surprisingly remained in the game.

Roark allowed four runs — three earned, all in the first — and nine hits in four innings.

Bryce Harper was presented with his 2015 NL MVP and Silver Slugger trophies during pregame festivities and hit his second homer of 2016 in the seventh, a no-doubtabout-it solo shot to right off Bryan Morris. Before that swing, Washington trailed by three, and fans had long since started departing.
