Ex-Joint Chiefs chair to be interim K-State leader

By John Hanna Associated Press

Topeka — A former chairman of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff with ties to Kansas State University will serve as its interim president, the state Board of Regents announced Thursday.

The regents said retired Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers will become the university’s top administrator later this month.

The board said Myers will have a news conference Wednesday on the university’s main campus in Manhattan, where the regents

are having their next monthly meeting.

Myers will succeed former President Kirk Schulz, who stepped down in March to become president of Washington State University.

ACLU calls for judge to block voting rule ——

Lawyer: Citizenship proof mandate violates federal law

By Bill Draper Associated Press

Kansas City, Kan. — The American Civil Liberties Union urged a judge Thursday to block Kansas from requiring people who register to vote at state motor vehicle offices to show proof of citizenship before they can cast ballots, arguing the mandate violates federal law.

Dale Ho, an ACLU attorney, said that without an injunction thousands of registered voters could be disenfranchised in upcoming state elections. After about four hours of State arguments, U.S. District Judge Julie Rob- law is still in inson said she would place. They take the matter under can’t claim advisement.

“State law is still in place,” said Kobach, who helped craft the state’s proofof-citizenship requirement. “They can’t claim the (federal law) trumps state law for state elections.”

KU Senate working to create new M&M panel on diversity

K

ansas University has an active diversity task force, the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group” created in November by the Office of the Provost. But there are two main problems with it, said University Senate President Mike Williams, who is a representative on the group.

One, it’s finite. Two, it’s not autonomous from university administration.

Williams wants the University Senate to establish a permanent and separate standing committee to address diversity, he said at this week’s University Senate Executive Committee meeting.

He said he’s working on a proposal and hopes to bring it to the full University Senate for a vote before the end of the school year. He said the proposal may be to create an ad hoc committee first, which under University Senate rules could be populated and begin work immediately, with the idea it would lead to a permanent committee later, which would take more time to formalize.

Williams said “many” other universities have such committees for diversity and he was surprised KU did not.

“I think it’s more than just an appropriate gesture,” Williams said.

“It’s overdue. I think it’s a chance for governance to become very visible in their support of improving the climate of the university.”

KU’s Student Senate already has a Multicultural Affairs Committee, one of that body’s four standing committees (the others are Finance, Student Rights and University Affairs). The University Senate (composed of students, faculty and staff) currently has nine

“I am confident, given the tremendous leadership experience he has gained throughout his career, that retired Gen. Myers will successfully oversee KState while we search for the university’s next president,” Regents Chairman Shane Bangerter said in a statement.

Myers served as the joint chiefs chairman in 2001-05, making him the top military adviser to President George W. Bush and then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

He is a 1965 graduate of Kansas State, and since his retirement from the military, he’s had a part-time position at the school as a professor of military history and leadership. The military science building on campus

standing committees: Academic Computing and Electronic Communications; Academic Policies and Procedures; Athletic; Calendar; International Affairs; Libraries; Organization and Administration; Planning and Resources; and Retirees Rights and Benefits.

Williams said fellow Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group members and others have said that KU should have a body “beyond administrative reach” that can hear concerns from across campus and make recommendations for how the university can do better.

According to the Office of the Provost website, this is the charge of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Group: “The DEI Advisory Group will discover and inform our campus community of patterns of discrimination, including lack of respect, inclusion, and equity in our educational and research environments and social communities.

The group will consider on an ongoing basis the degree to which we provide inclusive educational, research, and social environments for all students, staff, and faculty.”

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

“

I am confident, given the tremendous leadership experience he has gained throughout his career, that retired Gen. Myers will successfully oversee K-State while we search for the university’s next president.”

— Board of Regents Chairman Shane Bangerter is named for him.

The regents anticipate naming a permanent replacement for Schulz by the end of this year. Schulz had held the top job at Kansas State since 2009.

The university has about 24,000 students and an annual budget of more than $770 million, including its Kansas State Polytechnic campus in Salina.

In their filings with City Hall, Treanor officials said they want to put windows back into the front of the building that used to exist before the current facade was placed. The filings don’t give a date for when that facade was put on the building, but architects indicated it was done because the yellow-glazed brick that was part of the original building was breaking down. Plans call for new brick to be put on the building rather than trying to rehabilitate the old brick.

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

What will be more interesting is what will end up inside the building. I put a call in to Craig Marsh, who heads the building’s ownership group. I haven’t heard back from him yet. In their filings with City Hall, the architects said there are no current tenants for the building, but “it is anticipated that the ownership group will renovate the interior into a configuration that is suitable for a multi-tenant building.”

With a basement, ground floor and second floor, the building is expected to have a little more than 20,000 square feet.

The proposed facade, which includes big letters declaring the structure as The Marsh

Building, has the look of an office building to me.

But, who knows, perhaps there will be an effort to put retail space on the ground floor. The front door parking certainly will attract the attention of some retailers.

The architects said there will be other exterior renovations, including a likely redesign of the backside of the building as plans progress to make it a multitenant facility. Interior renovations also will be needed.

I’ll let you know when I hear more about who may locate in the building.

Parks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Pat O’Toole, with GreenPlay, said Thursday it’s estimated a new plan would be finished in September. The City Commission is scheduled to have a work session on the issue Aug. 23.

“I truly believe that Parks and Recreation is so important to our health and well-being that we need to have a very good plan moving forward,” said City Commissioner Lisa Larsen immediately before Thursday’s meeting. “Along that line, our goal is to develop a plan with your voice, your vision. We need your input.”

Lawrence resident Aida Alaka said she’d like to see more small “pocket parks” as new neighborhoods are developed. She noted a lack of small parks and gathering spaces in newer areas of the city.

Jared Scholz, with Greenhouse Culture, and Sean Ingram, bike polo player and president of Lawrence’s Blue Collar Press, came prepared with a suggestion to build a multi-use hard-court space that could be a site for roller skating, roller derby, bike polo, cricket

and bicycle safety courses, among other uses.

“We’d like to see some sort of multi-use court that could be used for both roller-skating and a lot of other sports there, as well,” Scholz said.

“The skate park is great; there are guys there who are really good, but I have a 4-year-old trying to stay on a bike. It’s nice, it’s just not real safe.”

Other ideas voiced Thursday included adding: more diamond ballfields, batting cages, outdoor classes, a therapeutic pool, a swimming pool, a zipline course, a Bocce ball space and parks and recreation amenities in southeastern and northern Lawrence.

There was also talk of how the city could fund more facilities and services in coming years.

“Everything you see up here — there’s more than there is money to do,” O’Toole said.

Charlie Bryan, a community health planner with the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, said the city should consider allotting a portion of the transient guest tax fund toward Parks and Rec projects and possibly raising the tax amount.

Transient guest tax is the 6 percent tax the city

collects on all overnight hotel stays in Lawrence.

“The most important part is establishing that Parks and Rec impacts the utilization of our hotels and should be a part of that,” Bryan said.

Attendees were also asked to weigh in on sponsorship opportunities, such as giving businesses naming privileges if they donated a certain amount toward a facility or allowing restaurants to put up banners at sports tournaments. Some of those who commented on the issue Thursday said they’d be comfortable with it, as long as the businesses weren’t ones that went against the message of health and wellness.

Over the past week, GreenPlay hosted nine focus groups, ranging from seven to 14 people and seniors to children. The focus groups will continue next week, and there’s another public meeting planned for 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21 in the commons area of Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St. Once the meetings are complete, the city in May will conduct a statistically valid, random survey of Lawrence residents.

Eudora school board OKs bid for 500 laptops

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

By Sylas May

All Eudora High School students will have access Read more responses and add to laptops next school year, your thoughts at LJWorld.com the school board decided at its meeting Thursday.

What’s your favorite Following recommenmusical? dations from district technology director Ron Long, Asked on the board voted to accept Massachusetts Street a bid from Insight PubSee story, 5A lic Sector for 500 laptops, Google Management Console licenses, and four mobile charging carts for a total of $115,177. Additionally,

the board accepted a bid of $10,900 from Sterling for 500 Brenthaven protective sleeves for the laptops, for a grand total of $126,077.

This total is significantly lower than Long’s previous estimate of approximately $140,000, which included 466 laptops with protective sleeves and three mobile carts. School board President Eric Votaw said that made it easier for the board to move forward.

The schools currently function on a cart-based model, meaning all laptops

are stored on mobile carts that are shared between classrooms. With the approval of these bids, the district will purchase 500 new Dell Chromebook laptops, bringing the high school to a 1-to-1 student-to-device ratio. Each student will have his or her own laptop to bring to school every day and use for homework in the evenings.

Votaw told the JournalWorld in March that the influx of cash from the district’s 2014 sale of the Nottingham property at 14th

and Church streets to the city of Eudora, at an approximate total of $850,000, means the district can feasibly fund this plan right now.

There are some small details that still need to be ironed out, Votaw said, such as what happens if a laptop breaks or if a student forgets theirs at home for the day. The board has also charged school administrators with providing evidence that this plan is working, whether that be through increased engagement or improved

assessment scores, and so on.

Long will proceed with ordering the devices, setting them up and having them ready in time for the first full day of the 20162017 school year, Aug. 17.

The Eudora School Board usually meets at 7 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month at 1310 Winchester Road, Room 108.

“I cleaned the Methodist church, I cleaned the mayor’s house,” she said. “I did ironing. I worked at the grocery, all without a car.”

She earned her GED the same year her oldest son graduated from high school. Then she went on to business college.

Eventually Staples got a better job and bought a car. She had a good job at Vangent in Lawrence.

Life was humming right along. During a visit to her

pulmonologist to check out some long-standing asthma issues, Dr. Lida Osbern ordered blood tests. Surprisingly, the results brought a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, cancer of the bone marrow.

“They caught it very early. I had my first bone marrow transplant in December 2006.

“A bone marrow transplant is not painful. I really don’t feel anything during the transplant,” Staples says.

During the procedure, Staples’ blood is filtered and white blood cells are removed. She says the hardest part is the nausea and diarrhea that follow.

“Sometimes, after a transplant,” she says, “I’ve been so weak that I’d have visitors come and go and I would not even know they’d been there.”

Staples says it takes her about a year to fully recover from a transplant.

Each time the process has removed her own bone marrow, Staples has had enough extra to freeze for another transplant. But sometimes, after weeks of nausea and extreme fatigue, she is ready to resign herself to

Schmidt’s passion for volunteering has kept him at CASA for 10 years, where he has had the opportunity to be an advocate for eight children.

As a CASA volunteer, Schmidt is the consistent figure in the children’s lives, sometimes the one adult who knows everything that is going on with them. He advocates for the

children’s best interest in court, helps the children understand what’s going on and meets with social workers, teachers and health professionals to ensure that the children’s needs are best met.

For Schmidt, watching the children grow emotionally as well as helping them get placed with the right home is what drives his enthusiasm for CASA. Not only has Schmidt made a lasting impact in

Do the right things. Life is too short to do otherwise.

“One time, during one of my transplants I was lying in bed so sick and I started thanking God for my sheets and my pillowcases and my blanket. I thank Him for everything. Lots of what I have was given to me. I want to say to anyone who needs to hear it: You can do this.”

Kenan Staples, of Eudora, is Staples’ third son.

He and his wife, Autumn, are parents to grandson Andrew and have been the main caregivers for Staples because they live close by.

“Whenever I think of my mom, I think of her as an overcomer,” Staples’ son says. “She has overcome so many things, so much more than just cancer. She has gone through lots of discomfort with the disease, but through every day of it, if it is at all possible, she seeks to encourage those around her. We see her, no matter how bad she feels, smiling and making the most of her situation.

She looks at the bright side and she is thankful. She’s a treat for us to be with.”

“I say to my kids, ‘Don’t ask me to do this again. I won’t do it.’ But then, of course, they do and I do and I am so glad,” she says.

“Otherwise I would have missed out on seeing one, two, three grandchildren.”

“I’ve gotten to know some pretty amazing people in all kinds of systems here that I’ve found to be very beneficial and broadened my opportunities to get involved,” he said.

“Gary is a gifted diplomat in the CASA realm, a caring advocate, a mentor and he personifies the spirit of volunteerism in its highest form,” said Douglas County CASA Executive Director Diana Frederick. “He shies away from recognition, but he inspires others through his actions.”

“It’s fun and it’s important work, and I think that at the end of the day you can feel really good about helping kids who sometimes don’t have many people pulling for them,” Schmidt said.

A Kansas University journalism alumnus accepted the 2016 William Allen White Foundation National Citation on behalf of broadcaster Gwen Ifill Thursday.

Gerald Seib, the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, accepted the award and delivered the keynote address during the School of Journalism’s William Allen White Day celebration in the Kansas Union ballroom.

Seib is a former winner of the national citation and a 1978 graduate of the KU School of Journalism.

Ifill, who was announced as the award winner in January, was unable to attend Thursday’s event.

Ifill is moderator and managing editor of “Washington Week,” according to her PBS biography.

Alcorn has been Student Senate’s Government Relations Director this academic year. Naylor has been a School of Business representative on this year’s Senate.

The two led the One KU coalition, which describes its mission as “cultivating tangible change” at KU by establishing “unity and inclusion by addressing the challenges and embracing the differences we face as individual students, working together as One KU.” Alcorn’s and Naylor’s platforms are student vitality, inclusion and representation and campus renewal, according to the One KU website.

Specific goals include improving mental health services on campus; helping connect more freshmen with research opportunities; creating a

peer mentoring program for first-generation students; establishing the You at KU program to recruit students from inner-city high schools; revitalizing the Potter Lake area; and improving campus sustainability practices.

Alcorn and Naylor defeated presidential candidate Richie Hernandez and vice presidential candidate John Castellaw, running as the CARE KU coalition.

In addition to the two executives, KU students also elected dozens of Senate representatives.

The Elections Commission did not release vote percentages or turnout Thursday night but said that information would be shared once the commission officially certifies the election results, expected Sunday. The Elections Commission did say more than 700 more votes were cast in this year’s election than in last year’s.

rying to carve out a career as a young musician in the age of doit-yourself culture can be as overwhelming as it is empowering, says Nick Carswell, of the Lawrence-based indie-rock band Carswell & Hope.

That’s why it’s important, especially now as the industry continues to reinvent itself, for musicians to talk to each other, he says. Upwards of 100 artists, bookers, radio DJs, promoters and other music professionals will be doing just that at this weekend’s third annual MixMaster music conference.

This year’s free conference, hosted by the Lawrence Public Library and supported by a $3,200 grant through the Lawrence Public Library Foundation, will be preceded by a series of production workshops from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. today at the library’s Sound + Vision Studio, 707 Vermont St. “There aren’t too many outlets or opportunities for artists in the industry to connect,” says Carswell, whose independent music collective, Silly Goose Records, has spearheaded the conference since its beginnings in 2014. “While we’re used to seeing each other at gigs or concerts, there are very few trade shows and conferences that

To honor its upcoming 40th season, Theatre Lawrence is staging four musicals instead of the usual three, and it will “include two shows that were offered as examples of why the Theatre needed to build a bigger stage,” it was announced this week.

Theatre Lawrence opened its then-new, state-of-the-art facility at 4660 Bauer Farm Drive in summer 2013 after nearly 20 years of operating inside a much smaller building at 1501 New Hampshire St. The 2016-2017 season kicks off with one of those ambitious shows, the iconic musical “A Chorus Line,” followed by “Peter Pan” around the winter holidays.

As a special post-season treat, Theatre Lawrence will stage “The Rocky Horror Show” in October, just in time for Halloween.

Wife’s constant criticism borders on abusive Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for five years and we have two children.

In the past year, she has been exceptionally critical and unloving.

I work full time. I also cook every meal, do all of the laundry, clean the house, do the grocery shopping and help with the children.

My wife works from home as a private tutor. She pays the bills and handles most of the financial stuff.

Right now, her job pays better than mine, so I feel obligated to do more around the house despite being gone for much of the day.

It seems as though 90 percent of our conversations are about how disappointed she is in me. She says that I am burdening her with carrying the family because ‘‘she has to have

a job for us to make it.’’

I already feel terrible about this without her emphasizing it, but I am clueless as to how to change the situation.

She complains about things she wants me to do, but when I do them, she questions my sincerity, saying I only did it because she nagged me. She often uses foul language, calls me names and insists things will never get better. She frequently threatens to divorce

Revisiting Hill-Thomas on HBO

By Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune

A quarter century ago, after a law professor’s accusations of sexual harassment turned a Supreme Court nomination into daytime TV’s most compelling soap, the CBS sitcom “Designing Women” aired an episode titled “The Strange Case of Clarence and Anita.” The show’s most dedicated feminist unveiled a T-shirt that read “He Did It.” Her political frenemy countered with one emblazoned “She Lied.”

Those fictional characters may have had an easy time picking sides, but for many of the 50 million Americans who sat slack-jawed through the 1991 televised battle between Anita Hill and her former boss, future Justice Clarence Thomas, allegiances weren’t so cut and dried.

Like FX’s recent miniseries “American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” the HBO film “Confirmation,” premiering Saturday, is more interested in examining our tendency to squirm through social issues than engage in a celebrity edition of “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire.”

The testimony is riveting, but more revealing is how the Washington press corps and U.S. senators kept poking their fingers in the air to see which way the wind was blowing, only to gather soot. Unlike the current debate over whether Judge Merrick Garland should get his day in Congress, the war back then wasn’t between political parties but, rather, men and women — a division that dates to Adam and Eve arguing over whose choice it was to serve apple as an afternoon snack.

“I think the assumption is that the movie is about ‘Who’s telling the truth?’ ‘Who did you believe?’” said Kerry Washington, who plays Hill. “That’s a very provocative question, but one of the things we learned is that when you pull back the curtain, the story is way more complicated than he said-she said.”

Washington alters her posture just enough to appear a full 2 inches shorter than her ninjawarrior fixer on “Scandal” and strips all urges to tap her inner rabble rouser, despite rant-bait dialogue by “Erin Brockovich” screenwriter Susannah Grant.

Instead, the actress expresses strength through quiet determination and fierce intelligence, letting her calculated pauses do the talking. Those who dare to cross her had better bring their A-game — and their law books.

“Susannah really worked hard to make sure these were complicated, three-dimensional, vulnerable human beings and not kind of fulfill our idea of who somebody is,” Washington said.

Editor’s note: Kevin McDonough’s usual Tune In column will return Saturday.

me if things don’t improve immediately.

Right now, I don’t talk to her much, because everything becomes an opportunity for her to criticize me, but she seeks me out.

I have to walk away to avoid saying things in anger, and then she snipes at my walking away.

Annie, I promised to love her for better or worse, so I often wish I were dead. But I love my kids and don’t want them to grow up without a father. She won’t try counseling, because she doesn’t want other people to know. — Can’t Win in Tennessee Dear Tennessee: Anyone who calls you names, constantly criticizes and threatens divorce is behaving abusively.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, April 15: This year you are more gregarious and caring than in the past.

Actually, you feel more secure, thus willing to express your feelings.

Others delight in your openness.

Do not allow someone who is at a distance or whose intellect you believe is better than yours to rain on your parade. You have a lot to offer.

If you are single, you meet someone with ease, but is it someone you want to keep in your life?

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ You have get-up-andgo, especially in the morning. You might be thinking of your weekend plans. Tonight: Opt for what you know.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++ You could be a lot happier if you relax and don’t worry so much about a personal situation.

Tonight: Entertain at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Keep the conversation moving. Someone might be abnormally flirtatious at the moment.

Tonight: Flirt away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ You could have a problem before you know it. Be very careful when dealing with a friend.

Tonight: Your treat.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ You might feel like a ray of sunshine to another person.

This person’s mood lightens up.

plain that she has to work. The days when a husband needed to be the sole provider are long gone. Counselors do not broadcast the names of their clientele. Your wife doesn’t want to go for counseling because it might require that she change how she behaves. This is too bad, because she’d be much happier if the two of you could work on this together. Since she refuses, go without her. And if the constant berating doesn’t let up, try the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. You need help.

EDITORIALS

Right track A new report outlines a solid course for improving the operation of Douglas County’s zoning and building department.

R

esidents should be pleased with steps Douglas County officials are taking to make the county’s zoning and building department more responsive, consistent and fair.

The Douglas County Commission has received the results of a study it approved several months ago to look at how the department could better serve the county. Hiring an independent review of the county’s zoning and building operation was a good step. The county had become mired in a controversy involving property owned by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and it was time to take a step back and look at the broader picture. The consultant’s report does that, and, as Commissioner Jim Flory noted, “I think we have something to work with going forward.”

In the world of planning and zoning, high priority often is given by being “user friendly.” The best way to accomplish that is not by being lenient or cutting corners. It’s through good communication, good customer service and consistency in both the permit process and enforcement of county codes. Let people know what is required, how you will help them and how to do it right.

The consultants’ recommendations set a strong course for improved service. They suggest a one-day process for routine electrical, mechanical, plumbing and demolition permits and reduced permit timelines for larger projects. To improve communication and service, they suggest conducting information sessions for both contractors and the public. Providing understandable information about the permitting process — like “When Do I Need A Building Permit” — on the county’s website also was recommended, along with reviewing the use of online permit applications.

When it came to fairness, the consultants emphasized the need for standard and consistent documentation of the permit and inspection process. Documenting the basis for various decisions makes the process more transparent and understandable, as well as providing a record if any disagreements occur.

The consultant also recommended that the county consider requiring contractors to be licensed, which seems like a good move both for the county and for consumers. The city of Lawrence already has instituted a licensing system and it makes sense to extend that to the county.

Having a professional zoning and building department that responds quickly and efficiently requires some resources. Although the consultants said the department’s current budget is adequate, they also noted that vacant positions needed to be filled and that many of the report’s recommendations could only be accomplished with a department that was fulling staffed.

The county spent a little more than $9,000 on the consultants’ review and it seems like a wise investment. The report outlines clear steps for making this department function in a way that will benefit county residents. The county and its new zoning and building director should move forward on implementing those recommendations as quickly as possible.

Washington — How far they’ve come. And I’m not talking about the GOP, whose front-runner representing 37 percent of the Republican electorate has repudiated post-Reagan orthodoxy on trade, entitlement reform, limited government and Pax Americana (and possibly abortion, but who knows?). I’m talking about the Democrats.

The center-left, triangulating, New Democrat (Bill) Clintonism of the 1990s is dead. It expired of unnatural causes, buried — definitively, if unceremoniously — by its very creator.

The final chapter occurred last week when, responding to Black Lives Matter hecklers denouncing his 1994 crime bill, Bill Clinton unleashed an impassioned defense. He accused the protesters of discounting the thousands of lives, mostly black, that were saved amid the crack epidemic of the time because gang leaders and other bad guys got locked up.

Yet the next day, the big dog came out, tail between his legs, saying he regretted the incident and almost wanted to apologize. It was a humiliating, Soviet-style recantation obviously meant to protect his wife’s campaign, which depends on the African-American vote to fend off Bernie Sanders.

You know Bill Clinton still believes his crime bill was justified. One cannot definitively prove causality, but it certainly contributed to one of the most radical declines in crime ever recorded in

“

The center-left, triangulating, New Democrat (Bill) Clintonism of the 1990s is dead. It expired of unnatural causes, buried — definitively, if unceremoniously — by its very creator.” this country.

Moreover, the Black Lives Matter charge that the 1994 law was an inherently racist engine for the mass incarceration of young black men is belied by the fact that it was supported by twothirds of the Congressional Black Caucus (including civil rights pioneer James Clyburn, D-S.C.), justly panicked at the time by the carnage wrought by the crack epidemic ravaging the inner cities.

It’s one thing to argue that the law overshot and is due for revision with, for example, a relaxation of its mandatory-sentence provisions.

It’s quite another to claim, as does Black Lives Matter, that it was a vehicle by which a racist criminal justice system

destroyed the lives of young black men. Hillary Clinton, catching up to Sanders, has essentially endorsed that view, demanding an end to “the era of mass incarceration” and the underlying maltreatment of blacks by police and the courts.

For the man who changed the image of the Democratic Party 25 years ago by daring to challenge the reverse racism of Sister Souljah to have to bow to this new — false — orthodoxy, symbolizes perfectly how far the Democratic Party has traveled since the Clinton era.

But the 2016 undoing of classic Clintonism hardly stops there. Take trade. It was Bill who promoted and passed NAFTA. Although Hillary criticized NAFTA when she ran in 2007-2008, as secretary of state she returned to her traditional free-trade stance, promoting and extolling the Trans-Pacific Partnership as trade’s “gold standard.”

Now dross, apparently.

She came out against the TPP, once again stampeded

by Sanders and the party’s left, i.e., its base. She may not have sincerely changed her view, but there are only so many times you can flipflop. She’s boxed into the party’s new anti-trade consensus.

Other pillars of her husband’s internationalism were already toppled, pre2016, by the Obama presidency, often with her active collaboration. At the core of Bill Clinton’s foreign policy lay the notion of America as the “indispensable nation.”

It is today quite dispensable, indeed a nation in retreat — from (Hillary’s) reset with Russia to the Iranian nuclear negotiations (which Hillary initiated with secret meetings in Oman in 2012) to the disastrous evacuation of Iraq in 2011.

As has happened with another of Bill’s major achievements: welfare reform. President Obama has essentially dismantled its work requirements (with Bill Clinton’s acquiescence, a sign of things to come). No need for Hillary to repudiate her husband’s legacy. It’s been done for her.

How far has the party moved left? Under Bill Clinton, it gave up on gun control after stinging defeats in the 1994 midterms. Today, Hillary Clinton delights in attacking Sanders for being soft on gun control. Malleable she is. And she sure knows her party.

It is nothing like her husband’s party. Which is why she campaigns as Bernie lite — they share the same goals, she says, but she can get things done. Hence the greatest irony of all: For the last decade and a half, the main propellant for the Hillary-for-president movement has been the rosy afterglow of Bill’s 1990s, the end-ofhistory era of peace, prosperity and balanced budgets.

Want it back? Vote Hillary. That’s the tease. Yet a Hillary victory would yield a Clinton Redux animated not

by Bill but by Bernie.

Wind energy tax?

Attack on humanities

no longer required to take courses in the humanities?

The theory is that core skills like writing, public speaking, and critical thinking can be taught in courses in almost any discipline.

So, when students have no incentive to take courses in language, literature, history or philosophy, we should not be surprised if they don’t. When enrollments in humanities courses decline, so does the need for humanities professors. It is a recipe for turning institutions once known for providing quality liberal education into trade or professional schools, and it is happening all across this country.

As one of my friends who teaches philosophy in Indiana said, “It seems like all of the deans attended the same conference and heard the same speech on how to systematically replace humanities faculty with teachers in the more market-friendly disciplines.

If colleges just get rid of their distribution requirements, the humanities departments, usually with relatively few majors, will no longer be able to justify their cadre of professors, freeing up needed resources.”

Donald Hatcher, Lawrence

To the editor: The April 11 Journal-World article on solutions for those with graduate degrees in the humanities who were having trouble finding positions in academe ignored one important question: What might be the cause of this situation? If the number of students in college has not decreased, why would the number of jobs for humanities professors decrease? Could part of the problem be that many institutions, e.g., KU, have redesigned their general education requirements so students are

To the editor: The April 10 Journal-World article about the wind energy potential for Douglas County mentions the county commissioners’ interest in levying a county tax assessment on the provider. I believe such a tax would only increase the rate paid by the user.

By law, the public utility provider, in serving the public interest, is entitled to earn a fair, but not an excessive, rate of return on their rate base, which includes their investment and operating expenses. To avoid a monthly bill that includes the profit earned on the county assessment, it would be cheaper if the county just directly added their assessment to the wind energy users’ bill.

Keep the rate base low. Put more directly, don’t try to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

George Taylor, Lawrence

Letters Policy

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 15, 1916: years “A large numago ber of interested IN 1916 men and women filled the First Baptist church last night and heard Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, noted suffrage lecturer, tell why she was speaking in Kansas, where women already have the vote. Mrs. Catt is making a tour of the nation, and Kansas is the eighteenth state she has visited. She is ascertaining the sentiment in the states concerning a national suffrage amendment. Thirtysix states must be favorable before the amendment can carry.... In the opinion of Mrs. Catt the suffrage question can not be carried if it is made a party question, for no party alone can control the twothirds vote required, or getting that, the additional ratification of the states. So the women are working to make the question a plank in every party platform.”

“The campaign against cigarettes among the high school students is being carried on daily. Already a census of the school has been started to ascertain the extent of use of tobacco among high school boys. A report of the results of the census will be made at the next meeting of the Boys club. The petition being signed by the members of the High School clubs asking the dealers in tobacco to aid in discouraging the use of the weed among minors has found great favor among the high school boys. It will probably be presented to the dealers of Lawrence with a request for their signatures early next week.”

“Postmaster W. N. Collins of Kansas City has decided that Hubbard squashes must be inclosed in wooden crates or pasteboard boxes before being shipped by parcel post. The decision was made in response to an inquiry to Postmaster Collins from E. A. Haycroft of Lawrence, who asked if he could not ship his squashes without wrapping, merely pasting the address slip on the squash.”

Olathe (ap) — Birders are reporting a rare Kansas sighting of a small, bright red species known as the vermilion flycatcher.

The Kansas City Star reports that Rex Miller spotted the bird Monday at the Olathe park where he works. He then alerted other bird watchers who took photos to verify the sighting.

Johnson County Park and Recreation District field biologist Matt Garrett says the bird is “way out of his range,” which includes Mexico and the southwestern United States.

SOME OLATHE BIRD WATCHERS HAVE REPORTED spotting the vermillion flycatcher, whose normal habitat is Mexico and the southwestern U.S. likened the sighting to observing a monkey on the streets of Kansas City. Nemecek is a board member at the Burroughs Audubon Society of

Greater Kansas City.

Since birders started keeping track decades ago, the species has been sighted in Kansas and Missouri only 26 times.

America’s CEOs are fighting back.

Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam became the latest chief executive to spar with the Democratic presidential candidate after Sanders accused the telecommunications giant of “corporate greed” for its plans to “outsource decent paying jobs” while paying high executive wages and avoiding federal taxes.

“You have chosen to stand up for dignity, for justice and to take

on an enormously powerful special interest,” he told striking Verizon workers in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Wednesday.

Sanders’ comments come just more than a week after his criticism of General Electric for “destroying the moral fabric of our country,” also claiming GE outsourced jobs and avoided taxes.

Lack of black pitchers confounds baseball On Jackie Robinson weekend, true diversity still a dream

M

ajor League Baseball is celebrating the 69th anniversary Friday of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier, and while the number of African-American players on teams remains near historic low levels, there’s an alarming trend that mystifies the industry.

It’s the dearth of African-American pitchers.

While the African-American population in baseball remains flat at 8%, according to an examination of opening-day rosters conducted by USA TODAY Sports, the scarcity of black pitchers is staggering.

Canada unveiled an assisted death bill Thursday designed to ease the end of life for terminally ill patients while slamming the door on “suicide tourism” to ensure Americans and others won’t flock there to die.

People with psychiatric problems also would be excluded, and no advance consent would be allowed.

“This is a historic day for our country,” said Health Minister Jane Philpott. “It’s an enormous responsibility to address the needs and suffering of Canadians as they reach the end of life.”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau backs the bill, which now goes to the parliament for approval.

“This is a difficult & deeply personal issue, and our government has carefully studied how best to support those in great suffering,” Trudeau tweeted.

In the United States, Peg Sandeen, executive director of Portland-based Death with Dignity National Center, was encouraged by the Canadian proposal.

“Prime Minister Trudeau is a hero to many Canadians who suffer from a terminal disease and the family members of those who died long, agonizing deaths without the option of death with dignity,” she said, adding that “much of the law Trudeau proposed comes from the work we have done in Oregon.”

Washington, Oregon, Vermont and Montana allow the practice, and California will join them in June. A court battle over the issue is underway in New Mexico More than half of the states took up the issue in 2015.

Germany, Japan and Colombia are among countries allowing assisted deaths. Canadian Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said the new bill would allow Canadians to “apply for a peaceful death” and protect the “conscience” of health care providers who provide suicide assistance.

The Canadian bill would set a minimum age of 18 and require a 15-day “reflection period” to avoid a quick decision after a dark diagnosis.

And patients must be eligible for Canada’s national health care, a rule that would preclude foreigners from going to Canada to end their lives.

Patients must be “suffering intolerably” and facing a “foreseeable” death.

Russia shrugs off criticism after buzzing ship John Bacon @jmbacon USA TODAY

The Russian Defense Ministry dismissed U.S. concerns Thursday about Russian war planes buzzing a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea this week, saying their pilots “fully observed all safety measures.”

Russian Defense Ministry Maj.-Gen. Igor Konashenkov told Russian news agency Tass that the Russian SU-24 jets were conducting planned exercises Monday when they came upon the

USS Donald Cook in neutral waters less than 50 miles from a Russian Navy base.

“Spotting the ship within the visibility zone, the Russian pilots turned their aircraft away from the vessel, fully observing the safety measures,” Konashenkov told Tass.

The U.S. European Command, however, said two Russian SU-24 jets made “numerous, closerange and low-altitude passes” on the Cook as a helicopter refueled on the deck. The ship temporarily suspended flight operation exercises it was conducting with Polish forces, it said in a statement.

A U.S. defense official said one pass was about 30 feet from the ship at an altitude of 100 feet.

On Tuesday, a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter flew seven circles at low altitude that were “deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the ship’s commanding officer,” the statement said. About 40 minutes later, two Russian SU-24 jets made 11 close-range

and low-altitude passes.

The statement said the jets “flew in a simulated attack profile and failed to respond to repeated safety advisories in both English and Russian.” The flights were risky, could have resulted in a fatal accident and could unnecessarily add to political tensions, the statement said.

One pass was about 30 feet from the ship at an altitude of 100 feet, a U.S. defense official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the incident, told USA TODAY. Two more passes farther from the ship came at 50 feet above water.

U.S. sailors said the jets were flying “wings clean,” meaning there were no visible bombs or armaments, a defense official told defensenews.com.

The Russian news website RT questioned how threatening the flights actually seemed to U.S. sailors aboard the Donald Cook.

“Judging by the videos released by the U.S. Navy, the sailors were nonplussed by the Russian aerobatic skills. They gathered on the top deck of the destroyer to watch the Russian pilots,” RT said.

VOICES

For Hastert, the kid gloves may be on Aamer Madhani @AamerISmad USA TODAY

CHICAGO The lawyers for former House speaker Dennis Hastert, who as a lawmaker championed stiff punishment for child predators, offered a jawdropping retort to allegations that he had molested a boy whom he coached before launching his political career.

The alleged incident, which involved someone federal prosecutors call “Individual A” in court documents, occurred more than 40 years ago in a motel room on the way back from a wrestling camp, where Hastert was the only adult chaperone among at least 10 boys.

“While undoubtedly many would consider this episode as described by (Individual A), consisting of a groin rub for a groin pull and a massage, to be misconduct, we are not so certain that the incident qualifies as sexual misconduct, especially for a coach and trainer forty-two years ago,” the attorneys said in their filing this week.

That legal jujitsu on behalf of the man who was once two heartbeats from the presidency comes as Hastert is set to learn on April 27 whether his fall from grace will include prison time.

The statute of limitations has

long expired for the abuse alleged by Individual A and four other teens, who prosecutors say were sexually abused by Hastert during his time as a revered wrestling coach and high school teacher in Yorkville, Ill., a community west of Chicago.

Instead, prosecutors got Hastert for illegally structuring bank withdrawals — a financial crime he admits he committed as part of a scheme to pay for Individual A’s silence. Prosecutors have recommended that the ex-lawmaker receive a maximum of six months in prison.

Federal authorities began investigating Hastert in 2013 after they caught wind of high-dollar withdrawals from his personal bank accounts, which he set up to prevent banks from flagging the IRS as required by an antiterrorism law that he backed when he was in Congress.

His legal team says Hastert has been punished enough with his public shaming and should be spared prison. The Hastert lawyers also contend that the judge should consider their client’s history of public service and his poor health. (He recently had a small stroke and was hospitalized for a blood infection.)

For outsiders, including journalists like me who have covered the proceedings since he was indicted in May, it’s hard not to wonder whether the former speaker has already been shown a measure of deference that wouldn’t have been extended

His legal team says Hastert has been punished enough with his public shaming.

had he simply been a high school wrestling coach.

When the indictment was announced last year, prosecutors were tight-lipped about the specific nature of his wrongdoing.

They said that the bank fraud was related to payoffs that Hastert made to someone from his past in Yorkville for unspecified misconduct years ago. Law enforcement sources, who insisted on anonymity, quickly leaked to USA TODAY and other media outlets that the payoff was for sexual abuse of a male student.

In fact, prosecutors didn’t publicly air the allegations of sexual misconduct by Hastert until last month when they announced they planned to call on a man, known as Individual D, who alleges Hastert abused him when he was on his wrestling team years ago as well as the sister of another alleged victim.

It wasn’t until last week that prosecutors said, in their presentencing memo, that Hastert lied to federal authorities and falsely claimed through an attorney that Individual A was extorting him. After asking Hastert to record his conversations with

the now middle-age Individual A, they learned it was Hastert who insisted on keeping their $3.5 million deal off the books.

Prosecutors declined to request that Hastert's lie to authorities should be considered an aggravating factor in his sentencing. Judge Thomas Durkin, however, indicated on Wednesday that he would consider it.

Earlier this week, I was running late after a Hastert hearing to meet with my wife and our daughter’s teacher. When I finally arrived, the teacher, Alison Bigane, told me she had been fol-

lowing Hastert’s case. His lawyers’ persistent push for the court to show mercy on him because of his poor health had triggered a piercing memory.

Just a few years back, Ms. Alison had been diagnosed with cancer and endured months of successful chemotherapy treatment. One of her memories from those sessions was the depressing scene of incarcerated women being brought in from a prison for radiation. Those women had to keep their shackles on as they went through treatment.

We’ll learn soon enough how much, if any, time Hastert will do for his crime.

But as my daughter’s teacher can attest to, as a society, we’ve shown less sympathy for criminals in a far worse state.

Black pitchers being squeezed v CONTINUED FROM 1B

the Boston Red Sox, Chris Archer of the Tampa Bay Rays and Marcus Stroman of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Remarkably, there is not a single African-American pitcher in the AL Central, and only one, San Diego Padres starter Tyson Ross, in the National League West.

Granted, there are 19 clubs that opened the season with two or fewer African Americans on their entire team. The Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels and Colorado Rockies are playing without a single black player.

Considering the increased emphasis on pitching depth in baseball — with every team employing 12 or 13 pitchers on its 25-man roster when 10 or 11 used to suffice — it’s clear that Major League Baseball’s efforts to diversify the makeup of American-born players will hit a ceiling without a resurgence in the number of black pitchers.

African Americans constitute 1.6% of major league pitchers — well below their 7.9% of the general player population. Forty-two of 69 African-American major leaguers — 61% — are outfielders.

And when teams opt to carry a 12th or 13th pitcher on their roster, it often comes at the expense of an extra outfielder.

So the cruel reality is that the African-American baseball player — whether prodded to abandon pitching or by his own volition — is being excluded from more than half of the jobs in the industry.

Anecdotally, the immediate future doesn’t look much more promising. The top 100 minor league prospects, according to rankings by MLB.com, include four African-American pitchers — Dillon Tate, Amir Garrett, Touki Toussaint and Justus Sheffield.

And of the top 50 projected players in this year’s draft, Reggie Lawson of Victorville, Calif., Alex Speas of Powder Springs, Ga., and Jordan Sheffield of Vanderbilt are the only African-American pitchers.

Oh, where have you gone, Bob Gibson?

“When you think about it, the black pitchers have almost become extinct,” says Arizona Diamondbacks general manager Dave Stewart, one of 15 black pitchers to win 20 games in a season in major league history.

“There are a lot of reasons. I don’t know if any of them are valid, but it seems a lot of teams take black pitchers and convert them to infielders or outfielders. I know it happened a lot in the past, so maybe it’s still happening.”

It’s possible that ingrained patterns of stereotyping remain. Ma-

jor league rosters are filled with failed position players turned pitchers — the St. Louis Cardinals’ Trevor Rosenthal, the Oakland Athletics’ Sean Doolittle, the Colorado Rockies’ Jason Motte, the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Chris Hatcher and Kenley Jansen among the current crop — but rarely are they black. The only current African-American pitchers who were converted position players are Edwin Jackson of the Miami Marlins and Mychal Givens of the Baltimore Orioles.

Rare, too, is the African-American finesse pitcher. Of the 50 softest-throwing starters in 2015 based on average fastball velocity, only 35-year-old Sabathia — who eight years ago struck out 251 batters — and his diminished 90mph heater make the list.

“There’s a certain criteria for

black players, and one of those is you can’t be a soft tosser,” Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker says. “We were always taught you can’t be a slow runner unless you hit a lot of home runs.

And you couldn’t be a utility player because those jobs are for the white guys.

“The reason you don’t see a black player converted into being a pitcher is because teams don’t have money invested in them.

Most of the white pitchers being converted, you have money invested in them.”

Perhaps it goes even deeper, says Negro Leagues Baseball Museum President Bob Kendrick, who traces the scarcity of black pitchers to the integration of baseball in 1947. It’s similar with the catching position, with Canadianborn Russell Martin of the Blue Jays the lone black catcher. The last African-American everyday catcher was Charles Johnson, and he retired 11 years ago.

“Historically, pitchers and catchers did not transition from the Negro leagues,” Kendrick says.

“There were great

Mychal Givens is a rarity: a converted black pitcher.

arms in the Negro leagues, and we had great catchers from Josh Gibson to Roy Campanella, but that was considered a cerebral position. And the consensus then was that these men weren’t smart enough to play in the major leagues.

“We know that the Negro leagues actually had more college-educated men than the major leagues then, but that was the misnomer.

“So outside of Don Newcombe and a handful of other guys, they never really got an opportunity to pitch. The problem, too, (Negro leagues manager) Buck O’Neil used to tell me, was how difficult it was for the black pitcher in the major leagues.

“So after the Negro leagues ended, there was no place to groom and train African-American pitchers, and the pitching aspect started to really diminish.”

Maybe it’s simply a case, Archer said, of parents not wanting their kids growing up to be pitchers.

“People don’t really view athleticism transcending onto the pitcher’s mound as you would an outfielder or a shortstop,” Archer says. “It’s really the last choice of the parents.”

Perhaps this wave of young African-American pitching, at an average age of 27, will continue to flourish, encouraging young players to step onto the mound. The African-American population, overall, could be on the rise, too.

There were 17 African-American players selected on the first day of the draft last summer, including the highest percentage of firstround picks since 1992. This year, eight of the top 50 projected picks are African American.

“Maybe it doesn’t seem cool or exciting standing on the mound and throwing, but it is.

Really, it is,” Archer says. “Hopefully, this group of us, I know it’s small, can make a big difference.”

Washington Post that “we’ve never been a big hit with socialists.

We create wealth and jobs, instead of just calling for them in speeches.”

Similarly, Verizon’s McAdam wasn’t backing down from Sanders and responded with an essay on LinkedIn entitled “Feeling The Bern of Reality — The Facts About Verizon and The ‘Moral Economy.’ ” McAdam called Sanders’ views “uninformed” and “contemptible” and said the company had paid more than $15.6 billion in taxes over the last two years.

McAdam said Sanders “oversimplifies the complex forces operating in today’s technologically advanced and hyper-competitive economy. ... Our objective in these negotiations is to preserve good jobs with competitive wages and excellent benefits while addressing the needs of our everchanging business.”

The back-and-forth came during the first day of a strike by 40,000 Verizon employees Striking union members want the company to limit outsourcing and increase job security, complaining the telecommunications giant’s profits — $39 billion over the last three years — have come at the expense of workers. Verizon, in turn, says health care and retirement compromises are needed to help manage costs in the landline business as more consumers shift to wireless.

After McAdam posted his commentary, Sanders fired back on Twitter that “I don’t want the support of McAdam, (GE CEO Jeffrey) Immelt and their friends in the billionaire class. I welcome their contempt.”

Citizens for Tax Justice, a tax fairness advocacy group, found some fault with McAdam’s statement that Verizon paid a 35% tax rate in 2015. Instead, its analysis of the telecom company’s SEC filings suggests that Verizon’s 2015 U.S. tax bill was about $5.5 billion, a 23% tax rate based on its $23.8 billion in pretax profit.

McAdam “likely is tallying the company’s global taxes to make this claim,” wrote CTJ director Bob McIntyre in the post on the group’s website.

12.4%, and the company paid no taxes in five years over that period, the group found.

“While there is no indication that this spectacular feat of tax avoidance is anything but legal (the company’s consistently low tax rates are most likely due to overly generous accelerated depreciation tax provisions that Congress has expanded over the last decade), few Americans would describe the company avoiding tax on $78 billion of profits as ‘fair,’ ” McIntyre wrote.

Verizon did not provide exact numbers on its taxes paid, but company spokesman Richard Young said that “(Sanders) needs to get his facts straight and so does this group. Verizon pays billions in local, state and federal taxes each year. The Senator and his friends need to find a new calculator.”

For his part, McAdam visited several Verizon work sites in New York on Thursday. He spoke to customers as well as striking employees and workers from other Verizon locations who are filling the strikers’ jobs. Topics discussed, Young said: “our offer on the table and the need to bring in non-union Verizon employees to fill-in for those engaged in this union-led strike. He also urged these striking workers to ‘get the facts’ from a source other than the union.”

Verizon (VZ) shares were up 0.1% Thursday to $51.34.

FIERY WORDS LIGHT UP THE DEBATE STAGE IN N.Y. Sanders, Clinton exchange shots as crucial contest nears

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL An Israeli soldier caught on video fatally shooting a Palestinian in the head will be charged with manslaughter, prosecutors announced Thursday in a case that has sparked national outrage.

After the military court in Jaffa ordered the soldier to remain in custody until Monday so the prosecution can finish its work before indicting him, demonstrators chanted, “Whoever kills a terrorist is an Israeli hero!”

The military investigation of the sergeant, 19, began after the

Clinton repeatedly invoked President Obama and suggested that Sanders’ critiques of her amounted to attacks on Obama. In response to Sanders’ charge that she has been weak on climate change, she said she and Obama had made progress in the face of GOP opposition. “I really believe that the president has done an incredible job against great odds and deserves to be supported.”

The campaign for the Democratic nomination — tame compared with the battle on the Republican side — has turned increasingly nasty ahead of New York’s delegaterich Tuesday primary.

Rescuers in southwest Japan are searching for people trapped beneath collapsed buildings after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.4 hit the Kumamoto Prefecture on Thursday night. Nine people were killed; 761 were injured.

North Korea launched a missile Friday, but the test launch failed, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.

The South Korean Defense Ministry confirmed the failed missile launch but gave no other details, according to The Associated Press. North Korea had deployed one or two mid-range mobile ballistic missiles capable of reaching U.S. forces in Guam in preparation for a test launch Friday to mark the birthday of the country's founding father, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reports.

The news agency quotes other military sources saying the missiles had been loaded onto a mobile missile-launcher.

A Florida state attorney said Thursday that he would not prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for simple battery in connection with an incident involving a reporter, saying a conviction would have been unlikely.

“This office will not be filing charges against Corey Lewandowski,” Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg

told reporters in Florida.

Echoing a legal filing made earlier in the day, Aronberg said that although the evidence — including a video — justified Fields’ complaint Lewandowski grabbed her after a March 8 news conference, there is a question as to whether his action constituted criminal activity. Aronberg noted that the legal bar for a police charge is lower than the one for an actual prosecution.

Gov. Bill Haslam has vetoed the controversial bill that would have made the Bible the official book of Tennessee. Haslam noted an opinion issued in 2015 by Attorney General Herbert Slatery that said the bill could violate the state and federal constitutions.

“If we believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, then we shouldn’t be recognizing it only as a book of historical and economic significance. If we are recognizing the Bible as a sacred text, then we are violating the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Tennessee by designating it as the official state book,” he said.

Manslaughter for killing Palestinian spurs protests Shira Rubin

Paul Singer and Nicole Gaudiano Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton stood face-to-face Thursday and repeated the attacks they have been airing in the media since their last debate a month ago.

Sanders started out their ninth debate saying “of course” Clinton has the qualifications to be president — having suggested in a recent speech that she is unqualified — but said he questioned her judgment based on her vote in favor of the Iraq war and her decision to allow a super PAC to support her campaign.

Clinton fired back that the “people of New York voted for me twice” for the U.S. Senate, so clearly believed in her judgment. She added that Sanders’ widely criticized April 1 interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News — in which he struggled to provide detailed explanations of key policies — raised questions about his judgment.

When Sanders accused Clinton of being too reliant on Wall Street, she said “I stood up against the behavior of the banks” for reckless financial transactions. Sanders shot back, “Secretary Clinton called them out. Oh my goodness, they must have been really crushed by that.”

Clinton, pressed by moderator Dana Bash to release transcripts of her private speeches, turned the issue instead to Sanders’ failure to release his

Israeli soldier to be charged in shooting

MOSCOW Sporting a natty tie, crisp white shirt and perched behind a desk like a friendly but serious news anchor, Russian President Vladimir Putin fielded questions for almost four hours Thursday in his annual marathon call-in show, discussing topics as far afield as illegal sports drugs, Ukraine, potholes and Washington’s “imperial ambitions.”

The Russian president uses the annual show to project an image as a strong leader who protects the nation from foreign threats and cares about people’s needs. Minutes after a woman complained of bad roads in her city of Omsk via video chat, local officials vowed to rebuild the road by May 1.

Varya Kuznetsova, 12, asked who Putin would save first if they were drowning: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko or Turkish President Recep Erdogan, two leaders with whom the Russian leader has a strained relationship.

“Varya, you’re putting me in a difficult situation. ... If someone has decided to drown, it’s probably already impossible to save them.”

Putin deflected a question about whether he was planning to remarry. “(Let’s hope the question you raised) doesn’t influence the currency exchange rate or oil prices,” he joked. “Seriously, people elect … the president to work.” Putin said he sees relations with his ex-wife, Lyudmila Putina, as even better since they got divorced in 2014.

On foreign policy, Putin said the United States must treat Russia as an equal partner.

He warned the U.S. against “speaking from the position of force, diktat and imperial ambitions.” If the U.S. treats Russia with respect, he said, “we will always be able to find solutions that will satisfy everyone.”

Stanglin reported from McLean, Va.

The Russian president will take your questions now Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with people from around the country during a Q&A broadcast live on TV and radio. Here are a few topics he touched on: PORRIDGE FOR BREAKFAST Asked by an 11-year-old about his views on eating porridge for breakfast, Putin said, “I eat porridge with pleasure. Every day.”

Asked whether he was forced to eat it as a child, he answered: “I generally don’t do what I don’t want.”

THREE WISHES If he were granted three wishes, what would he wish for? “Do you remember there was a little song in Soviet times, ‘No one will help us. Not God, not a tzar, not a hero.’ We shouldn’t rely on miracles. We have to work with our own hands, otherwise we will end up with nothing, just like in a famous Pushkin fairy tale.”

U.S. PRESIDENTIAL RACE Asked if he preferred Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, he said the individual doesn’t matter as much as the need for Washington to abandon its “imperial ambitions.”

“It isn’t about specific people.

If they (the U.S.) will maintain their false assumption of exceptionalism, then it means they will always demand a special place and special rights.”

MEDICINE Asked whether he takes imported medicine: “I try not to let it come to that. I work out.”

Top meteorologists from Colorado State University forecast a near-average Atlantic hurricane season this year, predicting 12 tropical storms will form, with five becoming hurricanes.

A typical year, based on weather records dating to 1950, has 12 tropical storms, of which seven spin into hurricanes. A tropical storm contains sustained winds of 39 mph. It becomes a hurricane when winds reach 74 mph.

Meteorologists Philip Klotzbach and William Gray of Colorado State University’s Tropical Meteorology Project released the forecast this week. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, though storms sometimes form outside those dates.

Although El Niño, which tends to suppress Atlantic hurricane activity, is weakening, water in the North Atlantic Ocean is unusually cold, which could also suppress storm development.

Klotzbach said that of the five predicted hurricanes, two should be major — category 3, 4 or 5 — with sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or greater.

11 CEOS BUST THROUGH Energy,

$30M-A-YEAR BARRIER Pay packages rise again, but wealth has yet to spread to shareholders Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

I

nvestors didn’t see a big pay day last year since the stock market was flat.

But some CEOs sure did.

Eleven current CEOs in the S&P 500, including Philippe Dauman of media giant Viacom, Marc Benioff of online sales software maker Salesforce.com and Robert Iger of media powerhouse Disney, are members of the lucrative $30-million-a-year club, based on an analysis of data from S&P Global Market Intelligence

by USA TODAY of the 418 CEO pay packages reported so far.

Total pay package sums were tallied using the methodology required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Breaking the $30 million-ayear barrier was even more rare this year because the stagnant stock market, stalled earnings growth and anemic gains in pension values due to accounting changes put a lid on CEO pay gains. Contrast that with 2014, when 22 of current S&P 500 CEOs made $30 million or more.

These pay packages “are not just out of line with what shareholders are making ... (they are) causing negative effects on the economy.”

Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of The Value Alliance

“These kinds of paychecks are really out of line,” says Eleanor Bloxham, CEO of The Value Alliance, an advisory service for corporate boards and executives.

These pay packages “are not just out of line with what shareholders are making ... (they are) causing negative effects on the economy.”

The biggest pay package was awarded to Dauman to the tune of $54.2 million, a total that rose 22% from the same year-ago period that ends in September. During the fiscal year, shareholders didn’t fare nearly as well with the stock dropping 44% and net income falling 19% to $2 billion.

Viacom’s regulatory filing shows $17 million of Dauman’s total pay was from a contract renewal. Excluding that renewal, Dauman’s pay fell 16%, the filing shows. Viacom didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Large CEO pay packages catch attention, but they might be easier for shareholders to take if they are gaining, too. Take Disney’s Iger, who was paid $44.9 million last year. That package puts the CEO among the best paid, but Disney shareholders saw the stock jump 16% during fiscal 2015, which ended Oct. 3. Iger’s pay was down 4% from 2014. A Disney spokesman said 92% of Iger’s compensation is linked with financial performance. Disney’s net income rose 12% last fiscal year to $8.4 billion.

Also hurting financial stocks — and banks’ earnings — was an about-face by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which in mid-March dialed back its planned interest rate hikes in 2016. Low interest rates prompt more consumers to shop for auto loans and credit cards.

But they also make it tougher for banks, especially banks that cater to consumers, such as Wells Fargo and Bank of America, to book big profits. Reports so far have shown the strain: uBank of America: First quarter net income fell 13% from a year ago to $2.7 billion, it said Thursday. Total revenue, after accounting adjustments, declined 6.7% to $19.7 billion. Bank of America’s net interest income fell to $9.2 billion during the first quarter vs. $9.4 billion a year ago. uWells Fargo: Its first quarter net income fell 6% year-overyear to $5.46 billion. Revenue rose 4% to $22.2 billion. Its net interest income tumbled 6.1% to $11.7 billion. uJPMorgan: First quarter net income fell 6.7% to $5.5 billion, it reported Wednesday. Revenue dipped 3% to $24.1 billion.

Banks’ sluggish earnings arrive at a time when public discussion about their viability and size continue to generate headlines, with calls by some politicians to break them up and regulators seeking better liquidity rule compliance.

Christine Short, senior vice president at earnings tracker Estimize.com, said the worst of the energy impact may be over: “As oil prices move up, this should be less of a concern.”

NOTE 2015 PAY FOR FISCAL YEAR

Deciding how to measure CEO pay continues to be a topic of great discussion. David Cote, CEO of Honeywell, was paid $34.5 million last fiscal year, up 18% from fiscal 2014. The SEC required the company to include pay Cote received connected with a growth plan that actually is paid over two years, says Rob Ferris, a spokesman at Honeywell.

“This differs with how our compensation committee views this element of compensation because the total payment is earned over two years and should be annualized since performance cycles do not overlap,” Ferris said.

Adjusted to an annual basis, Cote’s total pay fell in 2015. Honeywell’s stock rose 3.7% in 2015.

Banks are taking a hit from global economic pressures, a truth that’s becoming crystal clear from their first-quarter profit reports.

Bank of America and Wells Fargo, two of the largest retail banks, joined JPMorgan Chase this week reporting lower firstquarter net profit. Higher potential loss reserves set aside for loans to the energy industry — pummeled by low oil prices and bankruptcies — have cut into banks’ bottom line.

Investors have been bracing for the downturn in earnings, as the Financial Select Sector SPDR exchange-traded fund is down 3.6% this year, making it the worst performing of the 10 sectors. Rising fears of a U.S. recession dampened investor sentiment on banks, as did a surprise move by the Bank of Japan in late January to push a key interest rate into negative territory.

Some companies make a point to say they’re addressing CEO pay. Benioff saw his pay in fiscal 2015, which ended Jan. 31, 2016, drop 16%. But it still came in at a $33.4 million, making him the fifth-best paid CEO in the analysis. The company said, in its regulatory filing, it made “significant changes” to Benioff’s pay “taking into account feedback we received from stockholders.”

The biggest change replaces option-based incentives to an “atrisk” compensation where 91% of CEO pay is tied to performance pay or pay tied to the stock’s performance. Shares of Salesforce rose nearly 21% in fiscal 2016, while the company’s net loss widened to $263 million.

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

The Dow, which looked down and out in mid-February, is within striking distance of 18,000, a big number with both psychological and market implications.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose for a third consecutive day Thursday, closing up 18.15 points to 17,926.43. The last time the Dow closed above 18,000 was July 20, 2015.

At the Feb. 11 market low, the Dow closed down more than 10% for the year and was more than 14% off its May 19, 2015, all-time closing high of 18,312.39. If the Dow, now roughly 76 points shy of 18,000, can take out that old milestone, it would send a positive message to a market that has traded sideways for almost a year.

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

One Wall Street analyst that identifies market trends using stock charts and past price action says a move above 18,000 will be more than just a boost to investors’ bruised psyche after the worst start to a year ever. Dow 18,000 will show it has taken another step to break the downtrend it has been stuck in.

“Big round numbers are more than psychological,” says Mark Arbeter, president of Arbeter Investments.

The fact the Dow has topped 18,000 in the past, and fell just shy of that level in November 2015, means a break above 18,000 “ends the series of lower highs that began in May 2015,” he says, adding that a breakout would be signaled by a 1%-plus rise above 18,000. With stocks overbought, a stronger breakout would likely occur if it happened after a pullback, he added.

Savings account a big help when buying a house

Q: How should I invest my down payment?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: If you’ve finally saved up for a down payment on a house, you don’t want to blow it.

And if your down payment funds are invested in stock mutual funds and you’re looking to buy a home in a year or less, those are two key details that warrant a change.

If you think you will be buying a house within a year, it’s a good idea to move your money into a savings account.

When you are house shopping, especially in a hot urban area, opportunities pop up, and you need ready access to cash to lock in the deal. A variety of online banks such as Ally, Discover and Capital One offer accounts paying about 1% on savings.

It’s easy to shift money from a mutual fund company to a bank account. Log into the mutual fund account and sell the funds. Keep in mind you may owe taxes if you have gains on the funds.

Next, log into the new bank online and have it transfer the cash.

Most banks also go out of their way when you call and ask for help transferring money to them. You will just need the name of the firm where the funds are held and the account number. The transfer usually takes about a week.

You don’t want your home-buying plans foiled by a bear market if it hits at the wrong time.

IMF chief says Greece must spurn ‘fantasy’ budgeting Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

The International Monetary Fund’s Christine Lagarde distanced herself Thursday from a leaked phone call among deputies who appeared to suggest Greece must be threatened with default before it will agree to substantive concessions in loan talks.

The IMF has pressed Greece for political and economic concessions, such as pension cuts, in exchange for relief through its $98 billion bailout.

WASHINGTON

Lagarde’s comments come two weeks after Wikileaks published a transcript of a phone call among IMF officials who plotted to press German Chancellor Angela Merkel to reduce Greece’s debt burden or face the IMF’s withdrawal from the bailout program.

By some assessments, the call seemed to suggest the IMF believes Greece needs to approach the edge of insolvency before it will change its budgeting ways.

Lagarde, IMF’s managing director, pledged the fund “will not walk away” from the bargaining table, saying she “would like to strongly dissent” from the sug-

SHAWN THEW, EPA

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, right, says no debt default threats were directed at Greece.

gestion the organization believes a threat of default is necessary.

But she made it clear Greece must spurn “far-fetched, fantasy”

budgeting.

“It needs to have debt that is sustainable,” she said in an onstage interview at the IMF Spring Meetings, which bring together finance ministers and central bankers from around the world.

“What we cannot compromise on is the fact that it needs to add up.”

Lagarde said she is open to some combination of extensions to the maturities of Greece’s loans, an interest-rate holiday and reduced interest on principal.

Lagarde also: uAdmitted she was “a little bit” surprised at the Panama Papers leak, which exposed a ring of

offshore, secretive financial deals by many of the world’s top leaders. “We need to understand why there are so many loopholes.” uCritiqued the trade policies of leading Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. “We believe in a free world, in free-market principles — and properly combined with appropriate and implemented regulations,” Lagarde said. “So any proposals that purpose to restrict trade, to exclude, to eliminate, to build barriers, is not something that we believe is conducive to a stable and prosperous” world.

A superb Kerry Washington gets our vote in ‘Confirmation’ She perfectly and sensitively portrays Anita Hill’s ordeal Anita Hill and Kerry Washington both know the power of restraint.

For Hill, whose accusations of sexual TV PREVIEW harassment against ROBERT Supreme Court BIANCO nominee (and now Justice) Clarence Thomas are the centerpiece of HBO’s sturdy Confirmation (Saturday, 8 ET/PT, eeeE out of four), restraint became a watchword. In the midst of the media frenzy during Thomas’ 1991 confirmation hearings, faced with senatorial inquisitors who attacked everything from her morals to her memory to her sanity, she maintained a quiet, dignified calm that refuted every attempt to label her “hysterical,” the typical attack used on women who dared to speak up.

Given the steady deliberation Hill displayed, Washington might seem an odd pick to portray her.

Most of us, after all, know her from Scandal, where she’s given a weekly invitation to express every emotion and mood, no matter how big, unlikely or nonsensical.

In Confirmation, her role constrains her — and, paradoxically, liberates her to do what may be her best work yet. She expertly captures Hill’s emotionally drained speaking style, a necessity these days, when anyone can watch clips for comparison. Yet what’s equally impressive is her use of silence, in the way she watches Thomas on TV, breathing slowly and weighing whether she should put herself forward, or

FRANK MASI, HBO

Hill (Washington) finds herself in the eye of a political storm. the way she closes her eyes and gathers herself before she speaks.

It’s a lovely performance in a film that, despite being about Thomas’ hearings and despite making some obvious attempts at balance, is really about Hill. She is the story’s emotional focus as we retrace one of our first public lessons in what awaits those who wander into the morass of sexual harassment.

Laced with news footage, Confirmation begins with Thomas’ nomination to the Supreme Court. It is set to sail through the Senate, until Hill is discovered by two aides, played by Grace Gummer and Zoe Lister-Jones, who with Washington give the movie its heart and its heroes.

And so begins the back and forth as writer Susannah Grant and director Rick Famuyiwa try to walk down the center of the story. We may see more of Hill, but Thomas (in a very good turn

by Wendell Pierce) gets his own, spirited chance to defend himself.

Yet for whatever attempts at balance they may have taken, the film inevitably tilts Hill’s way. You can see it in the way Hill is shot and framed when we’re catching her in private, and in a crucial if basic fact: The script gives you no rational reason to think Hill is lying. The argument that she did it for political reasons is instantly dismissed; the attacks on her sanity are justifiably ridiculed.

Nor does it help that everyone who supports Thomas comes across badly — though to be fair, outside of Jeffrey Wright as Hill’s chief attorney, those lined up against Thomas don’t fare very well either. But at least Sen. Joe Biden (Greg Kinnear) is allowed to seem well-meaning, if incompetent. There is nothing about Confirmation that’s transformative, but it’s solid work about an important moment in our history. And for TV purposes, it’s a work that allows Washington to show what a fine actor she can be.

Or, if you prefer, to confirm it.

Hometown Lawrence Blue Moose Bar & Grill coming to town Lawrence Journal-World l Homes.Lawrence.com l Friday, April 15, 2016

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

I

can now officially say there will be moose adventures in west Lawrence, although I’m still unclear on whether I need to continue practicing my moose calls. Regardless, Kansas City-based Blue Moose Bar & Grill indeed will open near Sixth and Wakarusa.

For a few months now, I’ve been reporting that speculation was pointing toward the Blue Moose opening a restaurant in the new building that is being constructed just east of the Wal-Mart near Sixth and Wakarusa. Well, the president of the company has now confirmed it.

“With the high school, the theater, with Rock Chalk Park, we love the area,” said Ed Nelson, who is president of the Kansas City restaurant company KC Hopps, which is the parent company of Blue Moose. “We think it is going to be a really good fit for casual dining in Lawrence.”

Looking at the menu, it appears the restaurant is going for a niche that I’ve noticed more and more: fancy but not full-on fancy.

(I think that means I still can wear my antlers, if I want.)

“Our goal is definitely to compete with a higher end restaurant on quality, but for price and atmosphere we are more casual,” Nelson said.

That means the restaurant

goes quite a bit beyond what you would expect from a sports bar menu, for example. Yes, the restaurant does serve items such as chicken wings, hamburgers, pizza — the flatbread variety — and even fried pickles. But you’ll also find more upscale items such as a baked brie appetizer, several salmon and fish dishes, a couple of pasta offerings, and a dish called lemon chicken saltimboca, which features parmesan cheese, spinach, zucchini, rice pilaf and multiple mispronunciations as the guy in the moose antlers tries to order the dish.

The restaurant even has several desserts, including cheesecakes, creme brûlée and a torte that does feature chocolate mousse — not moose. (My experience has been to steer clear of the chocolate moose desserts.

Too chunky.)

Nelson said the restaurant will have about 6,000 square feet of space in the multitenant building that is now under construction. As we’ve reported, Kansas City’s Spin Neapolitan Pizza will be in one end of the building, and an undetermined retailer will be the third tenant.

Nelson said part of the

space will be set aside for a banquet room for large parties or other events. This will be the fifth location for Blue Moose, with the original one in Prairie Village and more recent additions in Overland Park, Lenexa and Topeka. Nelson said the company also plans to open a restaurant in Manhattan.

Nelson said he hopes the restaurant can open in October or November of this year. As for the feel and vibe of the place, Nelson shared a few renderings of the proposed interior of the restaurant. He said the group is looking to be a bit contem-

porary in the design but also casual. He said one theme that will carry over from other Blue Moose restaurants is that the restaurant will be filled with photographs of local landmarks.

Each photograph will have a blue moose in it somewhere.

It will be kind of like a find Waldo situation.

Blue Moose’s parent company, KC Hopps, also operates several other popular Kansas City chains, including Stroud’s fried chicken, the 810 Zone, Barley’s Brewhaus and several others. But Nelson, who is a KU graduate, told me his company didn’t have any other Lawrence projects on the radar screen.

“The Lawrence restaurant market right now is really competitive and really eclectic,” Nelson said. “From a consumer standpoint, I think it is a really fun place to be.

For now, we are just focused on the Blue Moose project.”

Variables help decide whether to buy first or sell first

T

he nightmare scenario for many homeowners is buying a house before selling the one they currently own, or the reverse — selling their home before completing the purchase of another one.

So, should you buy a new home before you sell your current one, or vice versa? There are pros and cons to each approach. For the buy first and then sell argument, consider:

Pros l You only have to move one time. l The move is easier and less stressful. l You have the time to make improvements on the old home once it’s empty before putting it on the market. l You can get the house of your dreams when it becomes available instead of waiting for your current home to sell.

l It is easier to schedule showings to potential buyers.

Cons l Making two house payments for an unknown amount of time. l Getting approved for the new loan while still paying on the current one. l Double the maintenance, insurance and taxes. l Not knowing how much profit you will make on the sale of your

home before buying the new one.

If you’re thinking of selling your home first before buying the new one, take into account:

Pros l More cash is available for the down payment on the new home. l Only one mortgage payment. l While you will want to set an appealing price on your current home, you won’t feel compelled to slash the sale price so the house sells quickly to avoid financial hardship.

Cons l Scheduling closings on the current home and the new home can be tricky. It can be difficult to get everything organized to avoid being “homeless” for a period of time. l You have to rely on the buyer’s financing since the purchase of your new home depends

‘Lazy Man’s Paradise’ from 1950s moved to new site Overland Park (ap) — A suburban dream-home prototype that was built in the 1950s completed its nine-mile journey to a new location in suburban Kansas City early Wednesday.

The Johnson County Museum’s All-Electric House began its trip Tuesday night in Shawnee. It arrived around 1 a.m. Wednesday at the new Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center in Overland Park, where it will be the centerpiece of a new exhibition.

The ranch house was built in nearby Prairie Village as a model show house for Kansas City Power & Light. More than 60,000 people trooped through the house in 1954, checking out its electric heat pump, its largescreen TV behind a slideaway seascape painting, its indirect lighting and its ubiquitous electrical sockets.

Decades later, its owner donated the home, which was carefully restored to its mid-century appearance.

“This house was called the ‘Lazy Man’s Paradise’ when it was built. There were a lot of electrical features and gadgetry that was not typical at the time,” said Johnson County Museum Director Mindi Love.

The home now lives inside the former King Louie building, where an old ice rink once sat. The new indoor location for the house will keep it safe from the elements.

The contract to move the home was for $267,162.

on the buyer being approved to purchase your current home. l You may have to rent another home for a while, or stay with friends and relatives. l You may have a shorter window in which to find your new home, limiting the number of houses from which to choose. l Showings of your home will take place while you still live there, which means keeping it clean and adjusting your schedule. l You may lose out on your dream home while waiting for your current home to sell.

The first step is to examine the current

housing market. Is it a seller’s or a buyer’s market? Will your home sell quickly, or is the market slow for your type of house? Right now, Lawrence is a seller’s market, so a home in the right price range will go fast.

Also what is the market like in your proposed new neighborhood? If you plan to move into a popular area, say with an in-demand school district, houses may be in short supply. Your real estate agent can clue you in on the answers to all these questions.

Next, take your financial situation into account. Would you be able to carry two mortgages for a period of time? Do

you need the equity from the sale of your current house to purchase the new one? Can you pay for temporary housing (or arrange to stay with family or friends) should your home sell before you find a new one?

The final consideration is your comfort level. How secure do you feel financially?

How confident are you in selling your home and buying the new one?

How flexible will you be should things not go as expected? Again, this is where your real estate professional can guide you in the right direction.

In homelessness crisis, Hawaii eyes thatched ‘hale’ homes Honolulu (ap) — When Daniel Anthony spent the night sleeping in a traditional Hawaiian structure known as a “hale,” the sound of rain falling on the thatched roof made him feel like he was sleeping in the forest.

“This is the sound of aloha,” he said, recalling the experience. The hales, he said, are also a solution to a crisis of homelessness in Hawaii, which has the highest rate of homelessness per capita in the nation.

Anthony, lawmakers and community members are pushing to revive the Hawaiian tradition of living in hale (pronounced hah-lay), thatched homes made from local trees and plants, as a way to provide more affordable housing.

Though a bill to ease restrictions on building hale died after critics brought up safety concerns, advocates are trying to bring attention to a type of housing that celebrates culture and uses environmentally sustainable techniques to house the homeless.

“If we can use invasive species, which we’re saying is out of control, to construct housing in an area where they say we’re in a housing crisis, how is this not a solution?” Anthony said.

Homes based on indigenous architecture are found from Austin, Texas — where tipi style homes are part of an affordable housing community — to Tahiti, where thatched homes lure honeymooners.

In Hawaii, a revival

A HALE STANDS at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu. In the midst of Hawaii’s homelessness crisis, lawmakers and community members want to revive a Hawaiian tradition of living in the thatched homes. of hale building led to dozens of the structures throughout the islands, used for gatherings, canoe storage and teaching about cultural traditions.

Building a hale can cost from $30,000 for a 180-square-foot structure to $95,000 for 600-squarefeet, including labor and materials, depending on size and location, according to rough estimates from Holani Hana, a nonprofit that builds nonresidential hale to promote Hawaiian cultural values.

Anthony believes he could build a hale for less — about $1,000 to buy parachute cord to secure the frame and thatching — using invasive species harvested from nature.

By comparison, the converted shipping containers Honolulu recently deployed to shelter homeless people on Sand Island cost $9,117 per unit for a 72-square-foot room for a couple, or $7,717 for a 49-square-foot room for singles, and each ship-

ping container holds two couple units or three singles units, according to the city. An apartment can cost more than $325 per square foot to build, according to the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, or $195,000 for a 600-square-foot apartment.

Maui County was the first to include hale in its building code, giving the structures a sense of parity with western buildings.

Hale builders gather ironwood, eucalyptus or other trees for the frame and pili grass, sugar cane or ti leaves for the thatched roofs and walls.

But while sleeping in hale is allowed in some Hawaii counties, no cooking, open flames, electricity, extension cords or generators are permitted, and obtaining building a permit can be difficult.

Sen. J. Kalani English, who pushed Maui County to adopt its hale building code, envisions updating those standards to a modern interpretation of in-

. s y e v r u S o N . s d No Banner A

digenous Hawaiian architecture. He has stayed in thatched homes in Tahiti and throughout French Polynesia, some with sliding glass windows and air conditioning, he said.

“I’ve always envisioned a traditional style structure — indigenous architecture — with Wi-Fi and internet and TV and wall plugs and all of that stuff plugged into it,” English said.

English is hoping to encourage more people in Hawaii to be trained in the art of hale building, incorporating indigenous architecture traditions from Samoa, Marshall Islands and other Pacific Islands.

Francis Palani Sinenci, a master hale builder who has constructed more than 160 non-residential hale in Hawaii, was hesitant to support widespread development of the structures to address homelessness.

“I cannot see hale everywhere, under the bridges,” Sinenci said.

“One of them catches fire, they’re going to ban all hales.”

“But I can see that the Hawaiians that are living on the beach because they’ve been displaced from their property, maybe they should have a place where they could build a hale for traditional living,” Sinenci added.

English co-sponsored legislation to encourage officials to set aside land for hale building and to exempt the structures from some planning and zoning requirements, but state agencies and the Honolulu planning department opposed the bill.

(First published in the Lawrence Daily Journal-World April 15, 2016) NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC The Lawrence Board of Zoning Appeals will hold a public hearing on Thursday, May 5, 2016, at 6:30 p.m., in the Commission Meeting Room, first floor of City Hall at Sixth and Massachusetts Street, Lawrence. The following item will be considered at that time: B-16-00132: A request for variances as provided in Section 20-1309 of the Land Development Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, 2015 edition. The first request is for a variance to reduce the 5 acre minimum site area requirement listed in Section 20-601(b) of the City Code to a minimum of 0.78 acres. The second request is for a variance to reduce the 40 foot minimum front setback requirement listed in Section 20-601(b) of the City Code to a minimum of 27 feet. The third request is for a variance to reduce the 40 foot minimum interior side setback requirement listed in Section 20-601(b) of the City Code to a minimum of 20 feet from the north property line, and 15 feet from the southern property line.

The fourth request is for a variance to reduce the 40 foot minimum rear setback requirement listed in Section 20-601(b) of the City Code to a minimum of 27 feet.

The property is located at 1220 Oread Avenue. Submitted by Philip Ciesielski with City of Lawrence Department of Utilities, for the City of Lawrence, Kansas, the property owner of record.

B-16-00130: A request for variances as provided in Section 20-1309 of the Land Development Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas, 2015 edition. The first request is for a variance to reduce the code required number of off-street parking spaces for a new dental health care office from 30 stalls required in Section 20-902 of the City Code to a minimum of 27 stalls. The second variance seeks to reduce the amount of interior parking lot landscaping required in Section 20-1003(c)(1) of the City Code from 1,080 square feet (based on the code

standard 40 square feet of landscaping per parking space) to a minimum of 360 square feet. The third variance involves a reduction in the 10 feet minimum width of a Type 1 Bufferyard required in Section 20-1005(c) of the City Code, to a minimum of 4.6 feet along the 60 feet width of the parking area adjacent to the south property boundary.

The legal description for each application is found in the respective project case file which is available in the Planning Office for review during regular office hours, 8-5 Monday - Friday.

RIVER CITY BASEBALL FESTIVAL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Greed is good building roster It pays to be greedy when assembling a college basketball roster, so even though Kansas University coach Bill Self already has the best collection of Big 12 perimeter players and the best post players, there is no such thing as an embarrassment of riches in sports. The more talent, the better.

So why stop now?

Self has a better than even chance of winning at least a share of his 13th consecutive Big 12 title with the roster he has now and it’s easy to see an eight-man rotation emerging if he doesn’t add to it. Devonté Graham, Frank Mason III and freshman Josh Jackson will start on the perimeter and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk can substitute for all three of them, playing 25 or so minutes per game. Lagerald Vick, depending on how much he refines his game during the offseason, also could earn time.

In the paint, Landen Lucas, Carlton Bragg, freshman Udoka Azubuike and transfer Dwight Coleby bring a variety of strengths and could fill the 80 post minutes, even if freshman Mitch Lightfoot could benefit from a red-shirt year.

That’s a nice eight-man rotation balanced with enough inside and outside scoring, solid defense in the paint and on the perimeter, and a nice blend of veterans.

Still, it’s best to go into a season with too many rotation candidates than just the right amount, in case a freshman needs more polish than anticipated or a veteran suffers an injury.

Plus, it’s nice to have a role player who fits certain situations in some games and doesn’t get off the bench for others.

If Cheick Diallo, as anticipated, stays in the NBA draft, Self will have three scholarships available.

Landing a major-minutes marquee high school talent such as Jarrett Allen, a 6-foot-9 forward from Austin who is considering KU, Texas and Houston, would shake up the rotation. Failing that home run, Kansas still could use help up front, someone to challenge Coleby for minutes. Another small guard, perhaps someone with a game similar to that of Nic Moore, the former SMU guard who helped Team USA to a gold medal in the World University Games last summer and then used his final season of eligibility. Sure, Kansas was the third-best team in the nation with no point guard beyond Graham and Mason, but it wouldn’t hurt to have more quick depth.

Adding a killer shooter also never hurts.

With three open scholarships and a seemingly reliable rotation that goes eight deep already, Kansas also has the luxury of using a scholarship or two on a transfer who must sit a year.

FREE STATE JUNIOR CATCHER JADEN MOORE (15) HUSTLES TO MAKE A CATCH BEHIND HOME PLATE in the top of the third Inning during the Firebirds’ 7-6 win over St. James Academy Thursday at Hoglund Ballpark in the first game of the River City Baseball Festival.

Firebirds take advantage of error in win

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

In a game that stretched nearly three hours on Thursday, Free State High baseball players weren’t happy with the way they played, but were satisfied with the result.

Free State sophomore Kyle Abrahamson lifted the Firebirds to a 7-6 victory over St. James Academy with a walkoff single in the 10th inning at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Abrahamson, a 5-foot8 left-handed hitter, was given extra life at the plate after a pop up in foul territory bounced off of the first baseman’s glove. On the next pitch, he slapped the ball into shallow right field, scoring senior Mikey Corbett.

“I was so relieved,” said Abrahamson, who went 3-for-6 with two RBI. “I can’t

even explain it. I was so happy just to get another shot and get up there again.”

To set up Abrahamson’s game-winning hit, Free State senior left-handed Parker Tietjen escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the top of the 10th inning. He walked two batters (one intentionally) and hit a batter, and, somehow, had them right where he wanted them. After a strikeout and a foul out, he ended the threat with a fly ball into right field.

Tietjen, who followed flamethrowers Trevor Munsch and Aaron Funk on the mound, walked four but didn’t allow a hit in three innings pitched. It was only his third appearance of the season.

“You go in there with Trevor and Funk throwing (velocity) and then you come back with Parker changing

up speeds, it’s pretty tough,” Corbett said. “I was talking with their first baseman and he said, ‘We can’t even hit that. It’s so different.’”

The Firebirds (8-1) forced extra innings with four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, right after the Thunder (4-5) scored four runs in the top of the frame. After loading the bases with a single by Corbett and the help of an error and walk, senior Hunter Gudde hit a RBI single on a dribbler to third base.

Down three runs with the bases loaded, Abrahamson hit a ground ball to SJA’s second baseman and the throw to second to start a double play went into left field, emptying the base paths and tying the score.

“I think we used up all nine of our lives there,” said Corbett, who scored four runs

and drew three walks. “It felt like we should’ve won that game five times and were lucky to be in it. It turned out they made just as many errors as we did and they just made mistakes. I’m glad we capitalized on one.”

The Firebirds capitalized on mistakes, but they weren’t without several of their own.

Runners were picked off on the base paths or doubled up on line drives. Bradley Collicott hit a would-be triple but was called out when he failed to touch first base.

Free State left 12 runners on base, including nine in scoring position.

“We have to fix some things,” FSHS coach Mike Hill said. “But it’s better to fix some things after a win than a loss.”

Lawrence High crushes Memorial, 9-1

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Back on the baseball diamond for the first time in 12 days, after missing three games with a tight hamstring, Lawrence High senior right fielder Ivan Hollins made up for lost time on Thursday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Leading the Lions to a 9-1 victory over Tulsa (Okla.)

Memorial, Hollins had three hits and a RBI at the plate, and he showcased his arm in the outfield, tossing out a runner at third base.

Hollins, nicknamed “GQ” by his teammates, was batting ninth in his return to the lineup, and belted hits into the outfield. In the fifth inning, the Chargers (8-9) intentionally walked junior Jacob Unruh to bring up Hollins with the bases loaded and one out.

The move backfired when Hollins drilled a single into center field, scoring senior Parker Kirkpatrick.

“I was just doing my job, doing what I was coached,” Hollins said. “Nothing special.”

Hollins, who has signed to play football at Baker University, started at catcher last season, but moved to the outfield this season, where the Lions were thin on depth.

He’s been bothered by a hamstring injury throughout the spring, but he only felt excitement when he made a catch in the sixth inning in the middle of right field and tossed a one-hop dart to third base to throw out the leading runner, who had tagged up on the catch.

COMMENTARY

For Kobe, farewell a fitting conclusion

Memphis names Tubby Smith coach

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

AMERICAN

By Tim Dahlberg AP Sports Columnist

They came to pay tribute, the rich and famous in their courtside seats and the less affluent up high in the rafters of Staples Center.

If they felt somewhat conflicted about saying goodbye to Kobe Bryant, well that was OK. Nike told everyone so with a series of farewell ads, including one where Bryant conducts from the court as fans of different teams sing to him.

“I hate you, I hate you,” they sing, bringing a wide smile to Bryant’s face.

It was finally time for sentiment for a player who for so long rejected any sentimentality. Up until this train wreck of a season, all Bryant wanted was the ball and for everyone — teammates and fans included — to get out of the way.

His farewell season showed there was a softer side to the self-named Black Mamba. In city after city he hugged opposing players, collected gifts from other teams and smiled through some of the most lopsided losses any Los Angeles Lakers team ever suffered.

It wasn’t really Kobe, no.

The old Kobe wouldn’t have stood for such nonsense. This was more like some impersonator in a No. 24 Lakers jersey throwing up shots that too often clanked hard off the rim.

The real Kobe hasn’t been around for a few years, at least since the end of the 2013 season when he tore his Achilles tendon and would literally never be the same. Try as he might — and Bryant always tried harder than anyone on a basketball court — he couldn’t consistently recapture the Kobe of old, something he finally acknowledged early into this season when he announced his pending retirement.

That he managed to do it on his final night in a Laker uniform — with his teammates feeding him the ball on every possession — was proof enough of his greatness. Somehow at the age of 37, after 1,346 regular season and 220 playoff games, he found enough to score 60 points and lead his team to one final win, the way he used to do it on a regular basis.

With his retirement now final comes the analysis of where he belongs among the greats in NBA history. Some put him in the top 5 players of all time, while others don’t even include him in their top 10.

The argument could even be made that he may not have been a starter on a team of great Lakers, a group that includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal and Magic Johnson, among others.

Fans may have found him tough to love until he turned into a teddy bear this year, but that didn’t seem to bother Bryant. They may have questioned his seemingly unquenchable desire to always take the last shot, but take it he still did.

That didn’t change in last game Wednesday night when he scored 17 straight points to put the Lakers ahead, in a meaningless game that meant everything to Laker fans.

Bryant put on one last show, one last performance for the ages. He did it before fans who were given black T-shirts that read “LOVE” with the Nike logo in place of the V. Nice touch. But there was no need to be reminded that love was what they were feeling on this night for Bryant.

Rams trade for No. 1 draft pick Nashville, Tenn. — The Rams have gone Hollywood with one of the splashiest trades in NFL draft history.

As if their return to Los Angeles after more than two decades in St. Louis wasn’t bold enough, they traded for the No. 1 overall selection in this month’s draft. The quarterbackstrapped Rams sent a collection of picks on Thursday to the Tennessee Titans, freeing the way for coach Jeff Fisher’s team to likely grab the QB they covet.

“Our philosophy has always been to build through the draft,” Rams general manager Les Snead said in a statement. “This trade is a reflection of that goal and Mr. Kroenke’s dedication to assembling a winning team on the field.”

Tennessee swaps the top pick to the Rams along with its choices in the fourth and sixth rounds. The Rams will give the Titans their

General manager Vlade Divac announced the move Thursday, a day after the Kings wrapped up another disappointing season with a 33-49 record. Karl was given a four-year contract when he was hired in February 2015 to replace Tyrone Corbin but never worked out and finished with a 44-68 mark.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Ellis repeats as Big 12 scholar-athlete

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior forward Perry Ellis on Thursday was named the 2016 Big 12 men’s basketball scholar-athlete of the year for the second straight season.

The 6-foot-8 Wichita native, who is a threetime academic all-league pick, majored in sports management with a minor in business.

Following his senior season, he was named a second-team consensus All-America selection, a unanimous first-team all-Big 12 pick, one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award and one of five finalists for the Karl Malone power forward award. On Wednesday, he was named the Danny Manning Mr. Jayhawk Award winner — which

goes to the team M V P — for the second straight season.

He finishes his Ellis career as KU’s eighth-all-time leading scorer and 12th all-time rebounder. Ellis, who graduates in May, currently is in Houston where he begins working out with John Lucas Enterprises. He’s currently listed as a second-round pick in the NBA Draft by draftexpress.com. l

Maker to NBA: Onetime KU recruiting target Thon Maker, a 7-foot senior from Orangeville Prep in Mono, Ontario, has been deemed eligible for the 2016 NBA Draft

thus will not be going to college for a year, ESPN’s Chad Ford reported Thursday.

Maker declared for the draft a couple weeks ago but had been waiting on a ruling by the NBA on his eligibility. According to NBA rules, one must be 19 and one year removed from high school to be eligible. He argued he did technically graduate from high school last year (with enough credits) and this year was simply to engage in post-graduate studies in prep school.

Maker is currently working out in South Carolina with trainer Drew Hanlen. KU coach Bill Self said KU freshman Cheick Diallo, who is not expected to be back for his soph season, also is working out in South Carolina. Self did not mention Hanlen by name.

BRIEFLY LHS softball rolls over SMNW Lawrence High’s softball team rolled to a 12-2 victory against Shawnee Mission Northwest on Thursday at LHS. The Lions (3-5) scored five runs in the fourth inning and four runs in the fifth inning, reaching the mercy rule. Sophie Taylor and Audrina Hidalgo both had three hits and two RBI. Kampbell Kilburn added three RBI, Morgan Husman had two RBI and Zoe Brewer scored twice.

“We’re coming together as a team,” LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton said.

“We’re starting to hit the Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo ball.”

FSHS soccer edges SM North Overland Park — Free State freshman Emma Yackley scored in the ninth minute, and that’s all the Firebirds needed to edge Shawnee Mission North, 1-0, Thursday at SM North.

Yackley fired a shot from just beyond the left corner of the 18-yard box that went over the outstretched arms of SM North goalkeeper Amy Epp. Free State coach Kelly Barah said that the goal from the freshman midfielder was an encouraging sign, but it did not give the Firebirds that boost that he expected for the rest of the match.

“We have to go back to our technical ability and try to clean some things in that area, and maybe that translates into our tactical game,” Barah said.

Free State (2-3-1) will play next at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Leavenworth.

FSHS softball blanks SM North Dacia Starr hit her fifth home run, Kate Stanwix went 3-for-4 with a double, and Free State High’s softball team defeated Shawnee Mission North, 12-0, on Thursday at FSHS.

“We’re swinging the bats pretty well,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said, “pitching pretty well, but we’ve still got to tighten up some things defensively.”

College is for Ayton: DeAndre Ayton, the No. 1 player in the recruiting Class of 2017, tells Rivals. com he will definitely play a year of college basketball. He denounced rumors he’d skip college to play pro ball overseas prior to the 2017 draft.

Ayton, a 7-foot junior from Phoenix (Ariz.)

Hillcrest High who is originally from the Bahamas, has a list of KU, Kentucky, Arizona and UCLA. “I’m going to college.

My mom would tell you that she wants me to go to college and that it’s a must. Overseas, that’s not me. I’m not trying to take risks with my career just to get to the pros fast,” Ayton told analyst Eric Bossi.

Bossi writes that Ayton, “will hit the grassroots

circuit this spring where he’ll play in Nike’s EYBL on a California Supreme team that features fellow five-star junior big man Brandon McCoy and potential 2019 star shooting guard Cassius Stanley.” l

More recruiting: KU is not recruiting Rodney Pryor, a 6-5 graduate transfer from Robert Morris, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman reports. Pryor had listed KU as a possibility in the past. Pryor is “focused on Georgetown, Florida and Gonzaga,” Goodman writes on Twitter. ... Arkansas transfer Jimmy Whitt, a 6-4 freshman from Columbia, Mo., tells Goodman he’s set up visits to Colorado and North Carolina State and has heard from KU, SMU and Kansas State. l

What if?: Duke signee

Harry Giles, a 6-10 senior from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., who is ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2016 by Rivals. com, tells USA Today from the Jordan Brand Classic he’d have attended KU had he not chosen Duke.

“Coach Self really does a good job at developing bigs and I felt really comfortable with the team. I could definitely see myself playing there and I know that I’d fit into that system,” he told the paper.

Why Duke?

“That’s where I felt the most comfortable and that’s the staff I knew had my best interest in mind. Coach K is Coach K. Coach (Jeff) Capel is my man; everybody. I just knew that Duke was where I’d have the most success so that’s why I’m going there,” he said.

Second-year Kansas football coach David Beaty made waves on the first day of spring football back in March, when he announced that he, and not offensive coordinator Rob Likens, would be calling plays for the Jayhawks this fall.

Last Saturday, during the Jayhawks’ annual spring game, Beaty got his first public opportunity to take a stab at calling the new offense.

The game, which was more of a skills showcase than a competitive battle governed by the clock and an emphasis on time, score and situation, was nothing like what Beaty will encounter Saturdays this fall. But it did give the head coach wearing multiple hats another FSHS record: 4-2. Next for FSHS: Saturday at chance to test his chops.

“

I think any time you’re getting a chance to call off-thecuff, unless you’re scripting it, I think you’re working on your role there. I think that’s going to be something that will be helpful moving forward.”

— Kansas football coach David Beaty on his first experience calling plays Saturday in the Jayhawks’ spring game led the White team to a 49-42 victory, handled the defense and Beaty said both he and Bowen were forced to adjust to what the other did on the fly.

Because of that, Beaty said both KU’s Blue team offense and the White squad kept things pretty simple throughout the afternoon.

“Clint (was) not carrying three calls,” Beaty said. “And, offensively (we weren’t carrying) a lot of calls, either, but honestly that’s your base.

You ought to be good at it, so you ought to be able to execute it.”

Despite keeping things simple and putting what he called “handcuffs” on the quarterbacks, Beaty said the Jayhawks provided fans with a good glimpse at how the newlook offense would operate this season.

The 6-foot, 170-pound Lowery allowed one run over six innings, striking out two and walking five.

“Before the game I took the approach to clear my mind,” Lowery said. “My last outings, I was thinking way too much.”

The Lions (5-4) gave Lowery some early run support when senior shortstop Brad Kincaid hit a two-run double in the first inning, scoring sophomores Reese Carmona and Andrew Stewart. Kincaid scored on a throwing error while he was stealing third.

Helped by six errors, the Lions scored runs in all but two innings. They nearly reached the mercy rule in the fifth inning

“It’s a combination of the beginning call and what the quarterback can put you in,” Beaty said. “...(But Saturday) was good because we need to play some base football and see if we can block and tackle and if we can execute at a high level with just really basic things.”

Quarterback Montell Cozart, who took the first snaps of last Saturday’s game, said the biggest advantage of the new offense is the pace at which it operates.

“Tempo is going to help us tremendously,” Cozart said. “Being able to put the defense on its heels helps us as an offense because the defense isn’t able to shift around as much. Tempo is something we stress and are going to continue to get better at.”

Thursday’s 15th and final practice of the spring marked the final chance for the Jayhawks to do that as a team in a football setting and, from here, it’s on to summer conditioning and roughly four months of emphasizing the small details — successes and failures — that will be playing on an endless loop in various film rooms this summer.

“There’s a lot of things that were good things that we were able to coach right off the field coming off,” Beaty said.

“But the video is going to be golden for us.”

when Hollins hit his RBI single, Lowery scored on an error and Kincaid drew a bases-loaded walk.

The Lions, who have won their last four games, are confident that their strong pitching and solid hitting is only a sign of things to come.

“It feels great knowing that we can keep this going,” Lowery said. “Not a fluke. We’re on the right track.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Kennedy, K.C. baffle Astros Rangers 6, Orioles 3 Arlington, Texas — Rougned Odor had a tiebreaking double in a five-run sixth inning, and Texas beat Baltimore, handing the Orioles their second straight loss after a 7-0 start.

The Associated Press

American League Royals 6, Astros 2 Houston — Ian Kennedy was dominant in his first start with Kansas City.

He was even more impressive in his second outing Thursday night.

Kennedy threw seven strong innings, Eric Hosmer hit a two-run double during a five-run sixth, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Houston Astros, 6-2.

Kennedy (2-0) started with five hitless innings and retired 14 straight before Carlos Gomez’s leadoff single to center in the sixth. Kennedy struck out seven and allowed a run on two hits and two walks.

The right-hander signed a $70 million, fiveyear deal with Kansas City in January.

“I’ve been very impressed with him,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It’s kind of what we expected. He is a guy that competes well and pitches down in the zone.”

Through two starts, Kennedy has allowed one run in 13 2/3 innings.

“He was every bit as good (as last time out),” Yost said. “He commanded everything really, really well. He managed his pitch count well and did a great job.”

Kennedy credited his defense, which tracked down several deep drives on the warning track to center among other plays.

Mike Moustakas hit a solo homer in the first and went 2 for 4 with a walk.

Hosmer, Lorenzo Cain, Alex Gordon and Omar Infante each had two hits, and the Royals set a season high with 13 of them.

The defending World Series champs are 7-2 after winning the final three games of this four-game set.

The Royals’ offense came alive with two outs in the sixth. Hosmer hit his double, Kendrys Morales and Gordon followed with RBI doubles and then Salvador Perez hit an RBI single to make it 6-0.

“That’s what our offense does,” Hosmer said.

“We kind of hang around there and take advantage of one big inning.”

Jose Altuve had two hits for Houston, including a solo home run to lead off the seventh. Carlos Correa had an RBI single in the ninth.

“He gave us a lot of trouble,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch said of Kennedy. “He was pretty bullish with his fastball and then he was landing his breaking ball in the strike zone which created a little bit of an in-between approach for us.”

KANSAS CITY’S IAN KENNEDY stretches during the Royals’ game against the Astros on Thursday night in Houston.

White Sox 3, Twins 1 Minneapolis — Minnesota dropped to 0-9 for the worst start by any major-league team in 13 years, falling to Mat Latos, Avisail Garcia and Chicago.

The Twins have scored only 14 runs this season.

According to STATS research, the last big league team to lose its first nine games was Detroit in 2003, when the Tigers finished 43-119.

The left-hander is 4-1 with a 1.44 ERA in his last five starts against the Brewers.

Randal Grichuk and Jeremy Hazelbaker hit two-run homers.
