Self, Pollard team up to buy Mass Street property

W

ell, here’s a property to keep an eye on — and a partnership that sets the mind to racing. Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self and former KU basketball star Scot Pollard have bought a Massachusetts Street commercial property.

Documents filed with the Kansas Secretary of State’s office confirm that Self and Pollard are the members of a corporation that bought the former

Bill Self, left, and Scot Pollard Performance Tire and Wheel building at 1828 Massachusetts St. That’s right. We’re talking about south Mass. here. In case

you left your map of former tire shops at home, the building is just north of Cottin’s Hardware or a couple doors south of Dillons.

No plans have been filed at City Hall yet that give any clues about how they plan to use the property. The rumor that Self bought the property has been floating around for quite awhile now. Indeed, the property was purchased some time ago, but until recently the only informa-

tion I had was the name of the corporation that bought it. But in recent weeks the corporation had to file an annual report that listed its shareholders. Self and Pollard were the only ones listed as owning more than 5 percent of the company.

The most common speculation I’ve heard is about a restaurant going into the location.

But I don’t have confirmation.

COMPETITOR CHRISTIAN CANTWELL THROWS UP HIS ARMS as he watches his final throw of the night along with hundreds of spectators during the Downtown Olympic Shot Put event Friday at the intersection of Eighth and New Hampshire streets.

Cantwell won the competition with a throw of 70 feet, 6-and-a-half inches.

Winning toss clears 70 feet

A fundraising campaign has begun to build an event center on the western shore of Clinton Lake.

The Clinton Lake Historical Society will launch on Sunday its fundraising drive for a center that it plans to build adjacent to its longtime Wakarusa River Valley Heritage Museum, which is located in the Bloomington Park campground on the federal reservoir.

“It has a chance to be a really special meeting place,” said Martha Parker, director of the historical society. “This will be a place where people can have weddings or corporate meetings or community meetings. Anybody who wants to have a meeting at Clinton Lake, this is going to be the place.”

Plans call for the facility to seat 150 people and to include full kitchen and restroom facilities. The center will be just west of the museum building and will have views across Clinton Lake and the dam.

struggled with the most.

When you have two people on opposite sides, and you try to bring them to the middle, both parties feel like they have lost.

“We have to try to get away from that as a community. It is not about winning or losing. It is about what we can accomplish as a community.”

Farmer said he’s spent more time listening — he hosted a series of listening sessions on capital improvement planning, and has regular sessions at coffeehouses that he calls “Conversations with Your Commissioner.”

“Wouldn’t you know it,” Farmer said, “after I started doing that, I started liking the job better.”

Familiar faces When Farmer starts talking to people around town, there’s a good chance he knows them.

Farmer grew up in Lawrence, attending Centennial Elementary, Southwest Junior High and Lawrence High. A couple of his elementary school teachers congratulated him after his fellow commissioners elected him as mayor on Tuesday. But that wasn’t much of a surprise. He still regularly talks to his past teachers.

“I owe everything to the investment people have made in me,” Farmer said. “It has meant a lot knowing there are people who are cheering me on.”

There even will be a familiar face on the City Commission.

Newly elected commissioner

Matthew Herbert and Farmer were classmates.

They attended junior high together, worked on a summer mowing crew together, then competed against each other in debate, when Farmer was on the LHS team and Herbert was on the Free State team.

Farmer grew up in southwest Lawrence before it really developed, and lived in “some questionable duplexes.” He said he grew up thinking of Lawrence as the “biggest small city in the country.” He said that’s still an appropriate way to describe Lawrence.

The designation has its pluses and minuses.

“I remember always wishing there was more stuff to do,” Farmer said of growing up here. “I would walk downtown, but my family couldn’t afford to shop downtown.

We had to go out of town to do stuff.

“But I love what we have now and how we have grown, and where we are as a community.”

Issues to tackle Farmer is 31 and single, a demographic that is prominent in Lawrence but not always well represented on the City Commission. He’s confident he’ll bring his own unique perspective to the job of mayor. But he said it is the experience that he gains in his full-time job as director of the food bank Just Food that gives him a unique view of the city. Farmer has been with the nonprofit since 2011, when he returned to Lawrence after attending seminary and working in churches in California and Arkansas.

“The next few years, we are going to have

L awrence J ournal -W orld

some good conversations about social services,” Farmer said. “Poverty is here in Lawrence, and it comes in a lot of different forms.”

The City Commission will need to have conversations about several other issues as well. Farmer said he plans for the commission to have discussions next week about the search process to replace City Manager David Corliss, who is leaving to take a town manager job in Colorado.

Farmer said the commission needs to appoint an interim city manager.

He said he’ll recommend Diane Stoddard, an assistant city manager for Lawrence, for the interim position.

He said the commission also will need to have a conversation sooner rather than later about whether Lawrence wants to change its government structure to include a mayor that is directly elected by the public. Currently, the five city commissioners choose one of their own to serve a one-year term as mayor.

Farmer said he thinks the idea of a “strong mayor” that would serve a multiyear term is definitely worth discussing.

But he said the commission should have some

conference to address the new development in the lawsuit.

The lawsuit contends the Quapaw tribe misled state and federal officials in late 2011 or early 2012 by providing assurances the land would not be used for gaming purposes.

The legal fray is playing out at the same time the state is considering proposals for the development of a gaming facility in the area. The state facility would provide a percentage of lottery revenues to the state and counties, and the Quapaw’s direct casino competition lowers the value of the state’s gaming facility in that zone, according to the court filing.

Any casino built by the Quapaw would provide no revenue to the state or county to compensate for the impacts of such a facility, although the county would be obligated to support it through emergency services and road maintenance without any financial support for those services, the state argued.

Construction of the tribe’s casino would also impact

the size of the state project and consequently impact the amount of revenues provided to the state and county.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt sued the tribe last month challenging a decision by the National Indian Gaming Commission last year to authorize casino games on 124 acres in Cherokee County.

The site is adjacent to the Downstream Casino site in Oklahoma and was purchased by the tribe in 2006 for a parking lot.

The federal government put the Kansas land in trust for the tribe in 2012, and the commission in November declared that the site could be treated as reservation land and used for casino gambling under federal law. The tribe is planning a $15 million addition offering table games, such as roulette, not allowed in Oklahoma.

Schmidt’s lawsuit argues that the commission acted arbitrarily and exceeded its legal authority. Schmidt also contends federal law gives Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback a veto over the tribe’s expansion plans.

painting his fingernails, and then wore a Mohawk and muttonchops in the NBA. The possibilities of a Scot Pollard-themed club are fun to think about. But the possibilities of a Bill Self-themed club — again, I don’t know that’s going to happen — are even more fun. Ponder this for a second: The corporation Bill Self formed to buy this property is BS, LLC. How about the BS Club? Anyone interested in that? Referee blows a call. Rehash it at the BS Club. Iowa State fan has too much of a liquid corn product and charges our head coach. Mock him at the BS Club. KU football season . . . well, the BS Club may need an expansion.

Again, I don’t know what the future holds for the property. I had the good folks on our sports

desk reach out to Self, and he said he didn’t have any comment at the moment. It certainly could just be that Self and Pollard bought the property as a real estate investment.

If so, they may be finding that some real estate investments can be as much fun as a road trip to Ames. This property used to be an old gas station, and it had an underground storage tank that had to be removed. In fact, I think it had two underground storage tanks, which may have been a surprise, according to some people I have talked to. The latest paperwork filed at City Hall is for a demolition permit for one of the small buildings on the site. The permit application indicates the work is related to an underground storage tank remediation project.

idea of whether it wants to make a change before it starts interviewing city manager candidates.

Farmer said he has confidence that the new commission can tackle the issues. The commission — it has three firsttime commissioners, and Farmer just finished his second year on the commission — is one of the lesser experienced commissions in recent memory. But Farmer said none of that concerns him.

“We have three great people who got elected, and they have a vision, and they did a lot of listening during the campaign,” Farmer said.

“That’s very important.”

Farmer said the theme of listening to the public should be the dominant one of his term. In the next month or so, he intends to ask the commission for approval to start using a new government software system — Open Town Hall — that gives residents more ability to provide meaningful online feedback to elected officials. He also is exploring another software system that would allow the city to put its financial documents online in a more user-friendly way.

Farmer also has taken to writing a blog that he emails to constituents, and he’s hoping other

commissioners find their own ways to communicate with residents.

Dean will be giving an artist talk at 7 p.m. April 30 at the arts center.

None of the complaints from members of the public against Lawrence police officers in 2014 were found to have merit after investigation, according to a report released this month by the Lawrence Police Department’s Office of Professional Accountability. Two complaints from police department employees were found to have merit and officers were disciplined.

The department received 17 complaints in 2014, 13 of them from members of the public, according to the report.

Police department employees made the remaining four complaints.

Complaints resulting in disciplinary action were that “an employee was untruthful in the performance of their duties” and Please see OFFICER, page 4A

SATURDAY COLUMN

Regents, Relays and roads among comment topics

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Based on numerous reports, past accomplishments and evaluations, the departure of Kansas Board of Regents President and CEO Andy Tompkins will be a major loss for Kansas and the Regents. Tompkins was held in high regard prior to his move to the Regents five years ago; he has strengthened this reputation and will be difficult to replace.

Apparently, the regents made a quick decision soon after Tompkins informed them he planned to step aside to name Blake Flanders, the Regents vice president for workforce development, as his replacement.

Tompkins received much praise and a standing ovation from the regents, state university presidents and students after making his public announcement this week.

A news report told of Regents Chairman Kenny Wilk saying Flanders will continue the positive culture created by Tompkins, as well as continue progress on the board’s strategic plan.

The big question is what is in the “strategic plan”? Unfortunately, the regents don’t seem to carry much clout with state legislators or the governor who appoints members of the board. State funding has decreased year after year, and it is questionable whether regents have a good handle on what is going on at the various schools they are supposed to oversee. If they do know what

is happening, it appears they do not have the courage to take corrective actions. Are they planning ahead for future top vacancies at Kansas University or are they merely going to rely on highly paid headhunters?

Are regents thinking about the search and replacement process when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, who is around 70, steps aside? Are they putting together a scouting and recruiting effort to identify potential future “all-stars” to become university chancellor, not settling for who might be looking for a job but rather recruiting people who are happy where they are but look to KU as a wonderful opportunity.

In the meantime, faculty morale and unrest, at least at KU, continue to slip.

COMMENTARY l l l

What has happened to the Kansas Relays? In past years, the Relays were national news with teams from throughout the country participating, along with all-star track and field personalities sponsored by large athletic equipment manufacturers.

Downtown Lawrence was festooned with Relays banners. It was a big event, drawing large numbers of high school and junior college teams from a wide geographic area with one high school team coming from Hawaii. It served as an excellent recruit-

ing tool for the university and Lawrence.

The event was moved to the Rock Chalk Park facility, out of the “embarrassing” Memorial Stadium environment.

The public was told the new track would be one of the nation’s best and would attract the nation’s best.

With the 2016 Summer Olympics only a short time away, it seems logical that many of the nation’s elite would want to compete in the KU Relays. Not this year. In the past, the Texas, Kansas, Drake and Pennsylvania relays were the best.

Hopefully, this again will prove to be the case, but, so far, such predictions have failed to materialize.

KU track coach Stanley Redwine is one of the nation’s best, and Kansas Athletics has more money these days than ever before. So why not use some of these dollars to build the KU Relays into the event it used to be?

It is interesting today’s schedule of events was canceled due to predicted bad weather. When the event was held in Memorial Stadium, on the outdated track, events were conducted during tornado warnings, sleet and heavy rain, but in those days, Memorial Stadium provided a safe shelter and facilities.

With Rock Chalk Park designed to attract and accommodate large numbers of participants and spectators, are adequate, strong storm shelters available?

l l l

What does it say about our national security system when a 61-year-old Florida mailman can fly a small ultralight gyrocopter through highly protected airspace and land untouched on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol? This is just the latest embarrassing example of the lack of security being provided for national strategic targets. What’s the excuse this time? l l l

As one noted expert on city development once asked, “What buildings have been built in Lawrence in the past 50 years that will be considered historic and untouchable 50 years from now?”

What can be so special about a rusty Quonset hut near Eighth and Pennsylvania streets? Why is this rundown building so historic? Some of those who want to preserve the structure claim the hut represents a rare form of architecture that is worth preserving. l l l

It is difficult to understand the relatively sudden expression of opposition or concern about projected traffic numbers of Bob Billings Parkway when the interchange connecting the street to the South Lawrence Trafficway is completed.

Plans for the improved 15th Street/Billings Parkway were announced years ago, years before many of the residences and businesses were built along this route.

There is no excuse for residents, homeowners, builders or city officials not to have looked ahead and known what was likely to happen. The street was to serve as a direct, easy-to-navigate route from the SLT to KU, not a tranquil residential street. Adding roundabouts and numerous traffic signals defeats the original purpose of the road.

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri hit the nail on the head earlier this week when she called attention to the “one and done” trend for university basketball players and said it’s time to reform NCAA basketball. She said she has no problem with players going straight to the NBA, but if they choose college, they shouldn’t be called “students” because they are being recruited “for an NBA tryout, not going to college.” l l l

If the recent Hillary Clinton trip to Iowa is a sign of what’s to come, the public should be accustomed to exaggerations, or lies, about her history and cover-ups from the national l l l media. Apparently, it is going to be a testing ground for Lawrence is known for its how much voter support can almost obsession to protect be generated or bought by a so-called “historic” buildings. $2 billion campaign fund.

BONNER SPRINGS

Agriculture Hall of Fame to reopen with new hopes Bonner Springs (ap) — Like many farmers, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame struggles to hold on from one year to the next.

After being closed last year except for special events, the 50-year-old hall in Bonner Springs will reopen this weekend, thanks to a financial windfall, volunteers and a new executive director.

Board president Clausie Smith says this will be a pivotal year for the center, which opened in 1965 and has struggled finan-

cially for years. The center lost almost $800,000 between 2009 and 2013, according to the federal income tax forms that nonprofits file.

He says the board will work on a strategic plan for the next 50 years that will be the basis for a campaign to bring in new exhibits and increased programming.

The Kansas City Star reports the sale of 5 acres last year allowed the organization to pay off some of its debts and provide cash sufficient to reopen.

A ribbon-cutting cere-

mony today will celebrate the center’s anniversary.

The annual Barnyard Babies exhibit will be held again as well. It will feature sheep, goats and other farm animals that kids can pet.

Dawn Gabel, an experienced fundraiser who was hired in January as executive director, hopes the event will expose visitors to the center’s permanent collection.

“We have a better collection than the Smithsonian of historic implements,” Gabel said.

BRIEFLY KU students elect new leadership

a statement shared on their Facebook page. “However, due to the magnitude of the event, we will not reschedule this year.”

This year’s Big Event was expected to involve 3,600 volunteers — from KU and the community — volunteering at 311 job sites across Lawrence.

After receiving information from the National Weather Service, organizers had “a great deal of concerns,” the statement said.

Kansas Relays events set for today also were called off and moved to Friday instead.

The National Weather Service on Friday issued a hazardous weather outlook for Northeast Kansas. Strong to severe storms are possible today with threats of large hail and damaging winds, according to the outlook.

Jessie Pringle and Zach George will be the 20152016 Kansas University student body president and vice president.

The duo of Pringle and George, of the Advance KU coalition, took 68 percent of the vote during Student Senate elections Wednesday and Thursday on the KU campus, according to a preliminary tally published Thursday by The University Daily Kansan. Election results will be confirmed Monday, the Kansan reported.

that “an employee used excessive force,” the report said.

The employees behind the violations were disciplined, according to the report. Consequences can range from a verbal reprimand to firing, depending on the seriousness of the offense. The department does not release the identity of employees investigated, descriptions of the cases or actions taken because they are considered confidential personnel matters.

The department’s policy is to investigate all complaints, from people inside and outside of the department, “regarding the alleged violation of laws, policies and procedures,” Sgt. Casey Cooper said in the report.

Department spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley said that because the department has the ac-

cess to and cooperation from employees who issue complaints, internally generated complaints are often easier to investigate.

“External complaints are made under a variety of circumstances, often with varying levels of cooperation on the part of the individual making the complaint,” McKinley said. “Though we will continue to investigate any allegation of wrongdoing, often the person making the complaint no longer cooperates with investigators.”

McKinley said other complaints from members of the public, especially regarding traffic stops, “are resolved in the officer’s favor when a review is made of the patrol car video documenting the incident.”

In 2013, 23 complaints were filed. Ten were found to have merit. Eight of the 2013 complaints were filed by employees.

The event’s normal location at Broken Arrow Park currently is difficult to access due to large amounts of construction related to the South Lawrence Trafficway.

Citizen’s Academy seeks applicants The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has begun accepting applications for its sixth Citizen’s Academy, sheriff’s office spokesman Lt. Steve Lewis said in a news release Friday.

The academy, which aims to educate participants on the duties of the sheriff’s office, will run from Aug. 20 through Oct. 1, meeting every Thursday evening from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. There also will be two additional allday Saturday sessions, the release said, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 29 and Sept. 12.

Attendees will receive both classroom and handson instruction on several topics, including driving skills, car-stop techniques, field sobriety testing, building searches, defensive tactics and use of force.

Interested individuals must be Douglas County residents and 18 years of age or older. Applications are available at the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 E. 11th St., or at the Douglas County Jail, 3601 E. 25th St. Completed applications can be brought to either location, mailed to the Sheriff’s Office in the JLEC, faxed to 785-8415168 or emailed to Lewis at slewis@dgso.org. content/complimentsand-complaints-lkpd, contact Cooper at 8327551 or call the administrative division at 8307400.

McKinley said in addition to the complaints in 2014, the department received 50 compliments.

The complaint and compliment system helps create a dialogue between police and the public, McKinley said. Often, those wishing to make a complaint “just need clarification or insight as to why something did or did not occur,” he said.

“Feedback regarding contact officers have with community members, both positive and negative, helps the department determine what things we are doing well and what may be in need of improvement,” McKinley said. “Good communication often resolves situations at hand.”

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS Date of Publication: April 18, 2015 Community Development Division – City of Lawrence P.O. Box 708 – 1 Riverfront Plaza Level One, Suite 110 Lawrence, KS 66044 785-832-7700 On or after May 4, 2015, the City of Lawrence will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Kansas City regional office for the release of funds under the 2014 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program (#B-14-MC-20-0005).

The 2014 CDBG Program is funded under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, and the city proposes to undertake the following projects: Project Title (1): City of Lawrence Street Maintenance Program / Bike Lane Project Purpose: Bicycle-related improvements in low-moderate neighborhoods where bike lanes would provide an area benefit to residents of those neighborhoods. The project will include bike lane markers, sharrows, and bike route signs.

Location: To be determined as stated above.

Estimated Cost (Project 1): $12,000 (CDBG reallocated funds for the 2014 Program Year).

Project Title (2): United Way Parking Lot improvement / repair project Purpose: The United Way Center is a public building that functions as a nonprofit incubator. The improvement of the parking lot adds 5 additional spaces while maintaining the handicapped parking spaces and loading area. The lot improvements assist with drainage around the parking lot, and provide connectivity to the east.

Location: 2518 Ridge Court, Lawrence KS 66046 Estimated Cost (Project 2): $24,543 (CDBG reallocated funds for the 2014 Program Year).

The activities proposed are categorically excluded under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the City of Lawrence Development Services Office, 1 Riverfront Plaza, Level 1, Suite 110, Lawrence, Kansas, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Development Services Office. All comments received by May 4, 2015 will be considered by the City of Lawrence prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Lawrence certifies to HUD that Jeremy Farmer in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Lawrence to use HUD program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Lawrence’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Lawrence; (b) the City of Lawrence has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Planning and Development at 400 State Avenue, Gateway Tower II, Kansas City, Kansas 66101-2406. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Dear Annie: When I was growing up, the rule was that if you had to cancel an appointment, you would call to let the person know that your plans had changed. Now that everyone has cellphones, it seems that the rules have changed.

A couple of friends stood me up on my birthday because my cellphone was turned off. They said they didn’t come over because I hadn’t called to verify that I was actually going to be there at the appointed time. But we had already made these plans a week before. I thought I only needed to call if I was NOT going to be there.

friends to assume you had canceled, but even if they apologize for their rudeness, it won’t change how they respond when they cannot get ahold of you next time. The problem is, so many plans are transient these days.

People expect to be able to reach you at any moment of the day or night in case something changes at the last minute. But it also means people need constant verification to be sure

BBC ‘Black’ kicks off its third season Are the Emmys pointless? If they meant anything, Tatiana Maslany would have been nominated for best actress last year.

In fact, she should have been nominated several times.

For the uninitiated, she is the star, or stars, of “Orphan Black” (8 p.m., BBC America and WE).

In a dystopian future not terribly far off, she plays a set of cloned women produced by a shadowy organization. First she was Sarah, the strong outsider who slowly discovered her own past and the fact that she had many “sisters.” These include the volatile Helena, a Ukrainian wild woman raised by nuns; Alison, the ultimate soccer mom; and Cosima, the genius who actually understands the science behind the cloning project.

That Maslany can pull off these characters and others in a seamlessly credible fashion deserves recognition. Some social critics have begun to consider her juggling act on “Orphan Black” to be the most serious meditation on female identity in today’s popular culture.

Maslany’s performance(s) aside, I find “Black” a tad too grim, violent and filled with dread for my tastes. Season three kicks off on a brighter note. Helena is seen on a sunny day in a suburban backyard surrounded by her sisters as a Ukrainian singer covers the Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” But nice it’s not, because we quickly realize that she’s only dreaming and she’s really trapped in a box and she’s not alone. There’s a scorpion to keep her company.

Among the familiar faces on “Orphan Black” is Dutch-born actor Michiel Huisman. He may not be a household name or play a “family” of clones, but he portrays Cal, the father of Sarah’s daughter. He can also be seen as Daario Naharis on “Game of Thrones,” and he was Liam, the edgy music producer who romanced Rayna during the first two seasons of “Nashville.”

Tonight’s other highlights

The New York Rangers host the Pittsburgh Penguins in an NHL conference quarterfinal (7 p.m., NBC).

The town unites on the season finale of “Good Witch” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

Claire and Geillis face sorcery charges on “Outlander” (8 p.m., Starz).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Cindy Pickett is 68. Actor Rick Moranis is 62.

Ventriloquist/comedian Jeff Dunham is 53. Talk show host Conan O’Brien is 52. Actress Melissa Joan Hart is 39. Actor Sean Maguire is 39. Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian is 36.

the plans are still on.

We think they would be happy to reschedule, and we hope you will let them.

“Dick.”

(Apparently, there used to be another rhyming nickname, “Hick,” which has since dropped from its early popularity in the 13th century.)

Here’s a little additional information for you: Richard derives from the old German and means “brave power” or “brave ruler,” which could explain why England had three kings named Richard, the last of whom was recently given a royal burial in Leicester Cathedral after his remains were discovered underneath a municipal parking lot.

Dear Annie: You printed a lot of responses about people whose nickname is “Dick.” But how does one get that out of Richard? — K. in Hot Springs, Ark. Dear K.: It is human nature to shorten names, both when speaking and when writing. Shortened versions of Richard have been common for centuries, likely starting with “Rick” or “Rich,” which then produced nicknames of their own, such as “Richie.”

“

Hillary Clinton’s problem is age, not chronological but political. She’s been around for so long that who can really believe she suddenly has been seized with a new passion to champion …”

states for a failed foreign policy.

There’s something surreal about Hillary Clinton’s Marie Antoinette tour, sampling cake and commoners.

But what else can she do? After Barack Obama, she’s the best known political figure in America.

She has papal name recognition. Like Napoleon and Cher, she’s universally known by her first name. As former queen

consort, senator and secretary of state, she has spent a quarter-century in the national spotlight — more than any modern candidate.

She doesn’t just get media coverage; she gets meta-coverage. The staging is so obvious that actual events disappear.

The story is their symbolism — campaign as semiotics.

This quality of purposeful abstractness makes everything sound and seem contrived.

It’s not really her fault.

True, she’s got enough genuine inauthenticity to go around — decades of positioning, framing, parsing, dodging — but the perception is compounded by the obvious staginess of the gigantic political apparatus that surrounds her and directs her movements.

Why is she running in the first place? Because it’s the next inevitable step in her career path.

But that’s not as damning as it seems. It can be said of practically every presidential candidate.

The number of conviction politicians — those who run not to be someone but to do something — is exceedingly small.

In our lifetime: Ronald Reagan. And arguably, Barack Obama, although with him (as opposed to Reagan) a heavy dose of narcissistic self-fulfillment is admixed with genuine ideological conviction.

Hillary Clinton’s problem is age, not chronological but political.

She’s been around for so long that who can really believe she suddenly has been seized with a new passion to champion, as she put it in Iowa, “the truckers that I saw on I-80 as I was driving here”?

Or developed a new persona. She will, of course, go through the motions. Her team will produce a “message,” one of the most corrosive, debased words in the lexicon of contemporary politics — an alleged synonym for belief or conviction, it signifies nothing more than

a branded, marketing strategy.

She will develop policies. In Iowa, she’d already delivered her top four, one of which is to take unaccountable big money out of politics. This is rather precious, considering that her supporters intend to raise $2.5 billion for 2016 alone and that the Clinton Foundation is one of the most formidable machines ever devised for extracting money from the rich, the powerful and the unsavory.

She will try to sell herself as champion of the little guy. Not easy to do when you and your husband have for the last 25 years made limo-liberal Davos-world your home.

Hence the van trek to Iowa, lest a Gulfstream 450 invade the visual.

Clinton’s unchangeability, however, is the source of her uniqueness as a candidate: She’s a fixed point. She is who she is. And no one expects — nor would anyone really believe — any claimed character

change.

Accordingly, voters’ views about her are equally immutable. The only variable, therefore, in the 2016 election lies on the other side, where the freedom of action is almost total. It all depends on who the Republicans pick and how the candidate performs.

Hillary is a stationary target. You know what you’re getting. She has her weaknesses: She’s not a great campaigner, she has that unshakable inauthenticity problem and, regarding the quality most important to getting elected, she is barely, in the merciless phrase of candidate Obama in 2008, “likable enough.”

But she has her strengths: discipline, determination, high intelligence, great energy. With an immense organization deploying an obscene amount of money. And behind that, a Democratic Party united if not overly enthusiastic.

That’s why 2016 is already shaping up as the most unusual openseat presidential race in our time: one candidate fixed and foregone, the other yet to emerge from a wild race of a near-dozen contenders with none exceeding 20 percent.

So brace yourself for a glorious Republican punch-up, punctuated by endless meta-coverage of the Democrats’ coronation march. After which, we shall decide the future of our country. Just the way the Founders drew it up.

PUBLIC FORUM

Ill-informed point To the editor: In his column “Progressive gestures hurt universities,” George Will attacks the preoccupation with sustainability, along the way hitting “diversity,” “multicultural” and inclusivity. Near the beginning, he mentions Stanford, which has apparently divested coal stocks, but not oil or gas. He says, “Evidently carbon from coal is more morally disquieting than carbon from petroleum.”

No, George. Coal emits a lot more carbon per unit of energy gained — about half again as much as oil and nearly twice as much as natural gas.

Also, coal recovery and burning emits a lot more toxic waste. So some people, recognizing that we can’t do it all at once, advocate switching off coal and toward oil and gas as “bridge fuels” in a broad strategy while we come up with better choices. One may or may not agree with this, but the Stanford choice is based on facts, not moral disquiet.

Facts are something that Mr. Will doesn’t seem to worry about. Becoming informed before commenting is not needed. His Ph.D. in politics makes that unnecessary. However, for many of us, it has the same effect he claims progressive gestures have on universities. It prevents us from taking him seriously.

Adrian Melott, Lawrence

Shining examples?

To the editor: With regard to the article on rural gun noise, I was shooting for a higher target. Gov. Brownback and his current Legislature have moved the political pendulum far to the right with a plethora of new laws, and accompa-

nying mores.

Our schools: Once a point of pride, they are now a political money target, ripe for the picking. Our teachers: Guilty as charged for whatever ails the system, but, as proposed, let’s arm them to protect our children and really get our money’s worth.

Our health: The Affordable Care Act is alive and working and bringing a true positive difference to millions in this nation. Visit Osawatomie State Hospital and tell me KanCare is working. Our taxes: When any entity pays no taxes, others have to. But not Kansas business owners. And today’s exempt farmers are not ma and pa on 40 acres but corporate farm conglomerates with huge holdings. Our E.P.A.: Created solely for the protection of the planet from the misdeeds of the greedy, what a scapegoat it’s become.

Finally, our guns. It’s OK to own as many as you like. It’s OK to own nearly anything any gun manufacturer makes. It’s OK to open carry. It’s OK to conceal carry. It’s OK without mandatory training. It’s OK to shoot anything and everything from early morning to late at night with no noise restrictions. And it’s OK to buy guns and ammo if you are on welfare, just not movie theater tickets.

Thank you, governor, for the “shining sun” on the falling horizon.

Alan P. Miller, Baldwin City

Asparagus is a cinch to grow

T

Garden Variety

he modern conveniences of grocery stores and worldwide shipping make it easy to get almost any kind of produce any time of year, but some fruits and veggies, including asparagus, just taste better when picked up fresh and local.

Asparagus is in season right now in northeast Kansas and tastes so much better fresh from the garden than when it has been sitting on a truck for a few days. It is also quite different from the canned and frozen stuff, even if all of them are good for you.

The best part about asparagus is how easily it is grown in the garden or backyard. The plants take up a relatively small space and require very little maintenance to keep producing year after year.

Plant asparagus in early spring or early fall while the crowns are dormant. Mid- to late-April is the end of the planting season, so act quickly to get them going this spring. Lawrence-area residents can get asparagus crowns direct from the producer at Pendleton’s Country Market, 1446 E. 1850 Road, or at some of the other local garden centers.

Select a planting space that is in full sun and is

for a full five to eight weeks, always leaving some spears at the end of the season (late Mayearly June). Harvest by snapping the spears off just above the ground. If spears get tall and tough at the bottom, snap them higher up where they become tender again.

Little rain fell Friday; more is expected today day, Bowen said.

To date, Lawrence has seen 1.68 inches of rain in April, just behind the average expected amount of 2.11 inches, Bowen said. But scattered thunderstorms and showers in this weekend’s forecast likely will drive those numbers up.

Stocks took a pounding Friday as the Greek financial crisis reentered investors’ radar and Asian markets recoiled from a regulatory move in China.

The Dow Jones industrial average ended down 1.5%, or 280 points. The blue-chip index had dropped more than 345 points to dip into the red for 2015 but is now barely in the back for the cal-

endar year. The Nasdaq composite finished down 1.5% and the S&P 500 closed 1.1% lower.

Europe markets saw steep declines on Greek jitters: Germany’s DAX tumbled 2.6% — 310 points.

France’s CAC 40 sank 1.6%, while the FTSE in Britain finished down 0.9%. The Stoxx Europe 600 index, a continent-wide gauge, fell 1.8%.

Greece isn’t winning much sympathy from its debt-wracked European counterparts as the country draws closer to default for failing to make bailout repayments.

“We are not sympathetic to Greece,” French Finance Minister Michael Sapin said in an interview at the International Monetary Fund-World Bank

spring meetings in Washington.

Issues at core of final deal still in dispute, leaving ‘difficult path ahead’

MAJID ASGARIPOUR, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Oren Dorell USA TODAY

Two weeks after world powers and Iran announced a framework agreement to curb Iran’s nuclear program, widening gaps between the two sides are emerging.

As negotiators prepare to start working on a final agreement in Vienna on Wednesday, the United States and Iran are at odds on key issues that form the basis of the deal unveiled April 2 in Switzerland.

They include when economic sanctions on Iran will be lifted, the number of machines it can keep to process uranium and the length of the final agreement.

The six world powers — the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — and Iran have set a June 30 deadline for a comprehensive deal that would curb Iran’s nuclear program and ensure it is for peaceful uses, as Iran claims.

In return, sanctions that have

crippled Iran’s economy would be lifted.

That will not be an easy task, given the sizable differences that must be resolved.

“There is a difficult path ahead of us towards the final deal,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in the northern Iranian city of Rasht, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported Thursday. But there seems to be an international “will” to conclude a deal, he said.

Tuesday, the U.S. Senate agreed on a bipartisan bill that would give it the final say on any deal, adding another complication to the negotiations. The White House said President Obama would sign that bill, which would require a two-thirds vote to kill a final agreement.

Many U.S. lawmakers are skeptical of negotiations with Iran because they don’t trust it to abide by the terms of any agreement it signs. Likewise, Iranian politi-

ANNE R. CAREY AND KARL GELLES, USA TODAY

OKLAHOMA CITY Representatives of the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and Museum have been privately seeking the cooperation of a convicted associate of Timothy McVeigh, now believed to be hidden in the government’s witness protection program.

Museum officials have contacted the U.S. Marshals Service, which manages the secret program, for help in asking Michael Fortier for an oral history that would outline his relationship with the bomber and his decision not to alert authorities before the attack, said Kerri Watkins, the memorial’s executive director.

The bombing remains the deadliest assault carried out by domestic terrorists in the U.S. The Arizona man served as a star witness against McVeigh in the bomber’s 1997 trial, after striking a deal with federal prosecutors in which he agreed to testify that McVeigh confided his plan to target the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City with the powerful fertilizer bomb that left 168 dead two decades ago.

Officials will mark the 20th anniversary of the attack Sunday in ceremonies at the downtown memorial, where empty chairs arrayed on the vast lawn where the building once stood symbolize

Obama tells Senate: ‘Enough — call Lynch for a vote’ He calls confirmation a ‘crazy’ process Gregory Korte and David Jackson USA TODAY

President Obama implored the Senate to approve his nominee for attorney general Friday, calling Loretta Lynch’s confirmation process “crazy” and “embarrassing.”

“What are we doing here?”

Obama said in a tone at once animated and exasperated. “There’s no reason for it. Nobody can deWASHINGTON

“And I have to say, there are times where the dysfunction in the Senate just goes too far,” he said. “This is an example of it.

The Lynch nomination is bogged down in a debate over a human-trafficking bill.

Democrats controlled the Senate until January.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, RIowa, says Democrats are responsible for at least part of the delay,

“It was Lynch or judges,” said Beth Levine, a Grassley spokeswoman. “They chose judges.”

But Obama noted that the Lynch nomination has waited twice as long as the previous seven attorney general nominees combined.

Obama recited a litany of Lynch’s qualifications, saying she had prosecuted terrorists and street gangs, had the support of civil rights and police groups, and was a good manager.

“Nobody suggests otherwise,” he said.

Australia faces threat from ISIL WAR ON TERROR

Radicalized citizens joining battles in Mideast

People run with their hands up from the Lindt Cafe at Martin Place during a hostage standoff Dec. 16, 2014 in Sydney.

Lauren Williams

Special for USA TODAY

Long protected from homegrown terror threats by geographical isolation, Australia is confronting terrorism inspired by the Islamic State that has washed up on its shores.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said this week that 150 Australians are fighting alongside Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria. The Australian Federal Police announced it has prevented 200 suspected Islamic fighters from departing Australian airports for the Middle East.

The fear is that Aussies radicalized on the battlefields in the Mideast will return home to wreak havoc. The United States and Western Europe share similar worries about thousands of their citizens who have been recruited by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. Terrorism is not new to Australia, which lost 88 lives in an attack in 2002 on nightclubs in Bali, Indonesia. The latest threats from the Islamic State are on home turf.

In December, two people were killed in a siege of a cafe in central Sydney, along with a hostagetaker claiming loyalty to the Islamic State. In February, police announced they foiled a terrorist SYDNEY

plot by two men associated with the Islamic State to launch attacks on Sydney. Last month, Australian teenager Jake Bilardi blew himself up in a suicide attack for the Islamic State.

On Saturday, five Australian teenagers were arrested on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack at a Veterans’ Day ceremony that included targeting police officers, according to the Associated Press.

The suspects included two 18year-olds who are alleged to have been preparing an attack at the ANZAC Day ceremony in Melbourne, Australian Federal Police Acting Deputy Commissioner Neil Gaughan told reporters.

Another 18-year-old was arrested on weapons charges and two other men, aged 18 and 19,

were in custody and assisting police, police said.

ANZAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and commemorates the World War I battle in Turkey on April 25.

The threats and attacks have prompted the government to tighten security at the expense of Australians’ cherished personal freedoms and carefree lifestyles That has revived a security vs. liberty debate that played out recently among visitors at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach. Traffic controller Luca De Montis, 50, said he didn’t mind sacrificing some freedoms to protect against “threats to the Australian way of life.”

“If the laws are there to protect us, I don’t mind if they are a

bit invasive. If you’re not doing anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about,” he said.

“But if they come here and do the wrong thing, then ship them back where they came from.”

Barista Francois Fotaneau, 30, a French national becoming an Australian citizen, said getting the balance right is important.

“Australia is more libertarian than most places,” Fotaneau said.

“I don’t like the idea of moving toward more restrictions.”

Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who spearheaded Australia’s new security efforts, has lamented that terrorism is a growing threat to the Australian way of life. “I don’t think it would be possible to witness uglier fanaticism than this … and I regret to say it is now present in our coun-

try,” he told Parliament in February.

The government’s response has been to ramp up some of the most expansive counterterror laws in the world, many adopted after the 9/11 attacks in the USA. In October, the government passed the Foreign Fighters Bill, making it an offense to travel to certain conflict zones other than for legitimate purposes. A separate bill empowers the Australian Secret Intelligence Service to provide intelligence to military forces cooperating with the United States in airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq.

Australia has expanded domestic intelligence-gathering powers, which authorities say have prevented attacks on home soil.

“The legislation is working well,” said Detective Superintendent John O’Reilly, head of New South Wales’ Counter Terrorism and Special Tactics Command.

“While buying a chemical or a car may not be criminal acts in and of themselves, the legislation has allowed us to act at the planning stage, if such a purchase is in preparation for an act of terrorism.”

Others worry the new laws erode important liberties. University of New South Wales constitutional lawyer George Williams said Australia does not have a bill of rights, which makes it “vulnerable to bad laws.”

“You can go to jail for visiting family and friends, for business travel … even for religious pilgrimage,” Williams said. “

the lives lost in the assault.

KEY TESTIMONY

Based in part on Fortier’s testimony, McVeigh was convicted in 1997 and executed in 2001.

Fortier, who also testified against convicted bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, served more than 10 years of a 12-year sentence for failing to inform authorities about the plot.

He was released in 2006, and his whereabouts have remained shrouded in secrecy.

The search for Fortier is part of the museum’s effort to interview major figures to provide a fuller account of the attack, Watkins said. The attack opened the nation’s eyes to a simmering threat from within, altered the landscape of victims’ rights in the U.S. and began transforming the government’s anti-terrorism strategy.

Watkins said Fortier’s cooperation could be “incredibly relevant” to the museum’s attempt to educate visitors about the tragic risks associated with remaining silent in the face of dangerous risks.

“If he called tomorrow, we’d go get the story,” Watkins said.

The Marshals Service hasn’t

confirmed Fortier is part of the program, which has provided protection for 8,500 government witnesses and 9,900 family members since it began in 1971. The agency declined to discuss any contact with museum representatives.

An official with knowledge of the matter but not authorized to speak publicly about it said Fortier has been in the government’s protective custody.

Watkins said there have been at least “a couple” of attempts to contact the witness in the past two years.

Tulsa attorney Michael McGuire, who represented Fortier during the bombing investigation, declined to elaborate on his client’s whereabouts or his association with the government program.

He said his client had no interest in speaking publicly about his involvement in the 1995 attack.

“He doesn’t want to be interviewed,” McGuire said.

TRIAL WITNESS

In his testimony during McVeigh’s 1997 trial, Fortier said his former Army buddy took him to the site of the Oklahoma federal building four months before the attack and identified it as the target of the bomb plot.

HEATHER WINES, GANNETT

Empty chairs symbolize the dead at the Oklahoma City National Memorial.

Attorney Michael McGuire says Michael Fortier has no interest in speaking about his involvement in the 1995 attack: “He doesn’t want to be interviewed.”

“He made the comment that if he (McVeigh) had to, he was going to drive the truck down the stairs and crash it through the front door,” Fortier told the jury.

The witness also recalled details about the building, including its nine-story facade of black glass.

Fortier testified that during the ride, McVeigh asked whether a large truck would fit in the driveup space at the front of the building, where the 4,800-pound explosive was detonated.

Glaring split for U.S., Iran on nuke deal v CONTINUED FROM 1B

cians in Tehran accuse the U.S. Congress of trying to sabotage an agreement and say Iran’s actions to satisfy a deal should be reversible if world powers fail to live up to their obligations.

Based on recent comments from U.S. and Iranian leaders, as well as fact sheets on the interim deal issued separately by the United States and Iran, glaring differences appear. The main ones: uSanctions: The fact sheet issued by Iran’s parliament Wednesday said that when the comprehensive deal begins, “all the U.S. and (European Union) sanctions will be terminated, and Iran will start fulfilling” its obligations under the deal. The White House said sanctions would be suspended in phases as Iran meets the terms of the deal and its actions are verified by United Nations inspectors. uCentrifuges: Iran’s fact sheet said Iran should keep operating about 10,000 centrifuges used to process uranium fuel.

The White House said the frame-

work agreement calls for Iran to scale back to 5,060 operating centrifuges to make it more difficult to produce fuel for a nuclear bomb. uFordow: Iran’s fact sheet said a bunkered facility under a mountain in Fordow would continue uranium enrichment and research and development activities to prepare for more ad-

vanced machines in five years.

The White House said Fordow would be converted to R&D that does not involve uranium enrichment. uInspections: The White House said U.N. inspectors would have access to “all of Iran’s nuclear facilities,” including undeclared sites. Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei flatly re-

jected inspections of military sites. uDuration: Iran’s parliament called for a five-year limit on the nation’s nuclear program. The White House said some aspects of the deal would last 10 years, and others would last 25 years.

Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a skeptic of an emerging deal, expressed worries that Obama will make new concessions to Iran to reach an agreement. “President Obama wants a deal and will back ‘creative negotiations,’ in his own words, to bridge remaining gaps on these issues,” he said.

Kelsey Davenport, director of non-proliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, which supports a deal with Iran, said the Iranian fact sheet was produced by a hard-line opposition in response to the planned U.S. Senate review of the agreement and does not reflect the position of Iran’s negotiators or Khamenei.

“These are tough decisions for the negotiators to make,” she said, “because each side needs to be sure they can sell a final agreement back home.”

three trucks there,” Fortier testified.

Fortier’s wife, Lori, who was granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for her testimony, told the McVeigh jury that at least three times in the year before the attack, McVeigh outlined details of his plan. She testified McVeigh arranged soup cans on the kitchen floor of the couple’s trailer home in Kingman, Ariz., to illustrate the attack.

“I could have stopped it,” she testified.

NATION/WORLD House bill may whittle pay for ex-chiefs

ELECTION 2016

Presidential pension, expenses could be cut Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON U.S. taxpayers provide former presidents a pension of $203,000 a year, plus yearly expenses that can add up to more than $1 million.

But most of them don’t need the money, said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. He wants to reduce the pension to $200,000, and phase out expense allowances for former presidents who have outside income.

A bill he introduced this week would cap expenses at $200,000 a year. And once a former president makes more than $400,000 a year, that expense budget would be reduced dollar-for-dollar, eliminating it for former presidents making more than $600,000.

“The basic premise here is, if they want to go fishing in Utah for the rest of their lives, they can do that. They will be well compensated for the rest of their lives,” Chaffetz said.

The formula for paying former presidents hasn’t changed since Congress passed the Former Presidents Act in 1958.

In modern times, former presidents have made a comfortable living writing memoirs, giving speeches and running foundations.

According to a Washington Post analysis of personal financial disclosures, former President Clinton earned $104.7 million in speaking fees from the time he left office until 2013, the last year his wife had to file a disclosure as Secretary of State.

KIMIMASA MAYAMA, EPA

Former president Bill Clinton and other ex-commanders in chief could see their pensions reduced.

“The basic premise here is, if they want to go fishing in Utah for the rest of their lives, they can do that.”

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who wants to reduce presidential pensions to $200,000 a year

Chaffetz’s bill would also increase the pensions of presidential widows from $20,000 to $100,000 — and update the language to include widowers.

“They’ve sacrificed a great deal, and they need to be taken care of as well,” he said. (The only current surviving presidential widow, Nancy Reagan, has waived her pension, though she was budgeted $7,000 for postage last year.)

Former presidents get other benefits that wouldn’t be affected by the bill. They receive health benefits, a Secret Service detail and unlimited postage for official correspondence. They may also get funeral and burial benefits.

Chaffetz has introduced the bill before, but it died in the last two Congresses. This time could be different. He has a Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, as a co-sponsor. And Chaffetz is now the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which has jurisdiction.

“It will certainly make it out of committee; I can promise you that,” he said.

Former Texas governor Rick Perry speaks at the First in the Nation Republican Leadership Summit Friday in Nashua, N.H.

‘Summit’ lures top names Potential Republican candidates test the field in N.H. Martha T. Moore USA TODAY

NASHUA , N. H . Presidential hopefuls arrived en masse in the firstin-the-nation primary state, drawn by a Republican “summit,” sometimes referred to as a candidate cattle call.

More than a dozen presidential aspirants are here to pitch their policies and personalities to a hotel ballroom full of politically active Republicans.

The lineup includes potential candidates with money and buzz, including Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and Marco Rubio, and those who could be considered long shots: former New York governor George Pataki, New York Rep. Pete King and former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina.

First up among the betterknown hopefuls: former Texas governor Rick Perry, whose toughest question came from a self-described supporter in the audience: “Tell us what is going to be different this time around.”

Perhaps Perry’s biggest challenge in attempting a second run at the Republican nomination would be overcoming the memory of his poor debate performance during the 2012 campaign, when he forgot a central part of his own platform. At the time, he blamed his memory lapse on re-

cent back surgery.

“You gotta be healthy, you gotta be on your game,” Perry said.

Preparing to be president “takes years of intense study. I spent the last three years in that mode.” He said he had talked to policy experts “from the Hoover Institute to the Brookings Institute and everything in between.” (The Hoover Institution is generally considered conservative, and Brookings is liberal.)

A number of candidates held additional events: Rubio went to a house party in Manchester, and Christie held a town hall in Exeter. Bush spoke Friday morning at “Politics and Eggs,’’ a breakfast event at St. Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics.

The former Florida governor stressed his record of cutting taxes, shrinking the state government and maintaining the state’s bond rating — popular topics in fiscally conservative New Hampshire. Though he is known for his interest in improving public education — his support of Common Core educational standards is one reason why he gets labeled a moderate — Bush said he opposes President Obama’s proposal to make community college tuition free. “The idea of giving something free — it’s political. It’s polldriven. Someone did a focus group. Free stuff. Free community colleges, it’s a great sound bite,’’ Bush said.

DARREN MCCOLLESTER, GETTY IMAGES

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was among the prominent Republicans speaking with conservative activists.

The Republican summit is a fundraiser for its organizer, the state GOP. Tom Rath, a Manchester lawyer and a longtime Republican activist, says he has yet to choose a candidate for 2016. “It does a little bit appear like you’re firing a starter’s pistol.” Potential candidates “have got to get serious now. You better get up here.’’

Though voters may still be sorting out which governor is which, the politically involved audience at the GOP summit has already been following the

proto-candidates closely, says Dante Scala, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire. “As they start to choose up sides, I think this weekend could be significant for them. They may be able to winnow down in their mind the two or maybe the one candidate they’re going to go with. Not the voters, but with the activists, there’s the opportunity (for candidates) to build good word of mouth … and persuade some activists to get on board the train.’’

Still to come today: Paul, Walker, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz.

The politicopalooza is a welcome event for New Hampshire Republicans. In 2012, Mitt Romney’s status as front-runner kept campaigning fairly quiet in the state, and people in New Hampshire “had to watch candidates on TV just like everybody else in the country,” Scala says. “There’s all sorts of possibilities because people feel it’s fluid and wide open. If you’re a Republican activist, you’re just smiling from ear to ear. If you’re a Democratic activist, you’re jealous.’’

In fact, Democrats set up shop across the street from the summit, where Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida said any one of the GOP candidates would damage middle-class Americans by cutting taxes for the wealthy and repealing the Affordable Care Act.

IN BRIEF TULSA VOLUNTEER DEPUTY SAYS KILLING WAS A MISTAKE

A 73-year-old Tulsa volunteer deputy who killed an unarmed man when he mistook his gun for a stun gun told the Today show he can’t believe he took someone’s life.

Speaking publicly for the first time, Robert Bates told the NBC morning show Friday that he doesn’t know how he made such a mistake. He said each weapon he carries has a laser light that indicates the intended target.

“I saw the light and I squeezed the trigger, and then realized. I dropped the gun,” he said. “This was not an intentional thing. I had no desire to ever take anyone’s life.”

He apologized to the family of Eric Harris, 44, the man he shot during an April 2 undercover operation.

A group of doctors sent a letter to Columbia University, asking for Oz’s dismissal from the medical school’s faculty.

“I bring the public information that will help them on their path to be their best selves,” Oz said in a statement released through a representative of The Dr. Oz Show.

That’s on top of the 9,000 jobs the company previously announced would be cut.

The problem with the brinkmanship in the Greek crisis is figuring out how much of the official posturing is bluff and how much is serious.

A lot of posturing has been in evidence in Washington this week during the spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, which brings together policymakers from around the world.

The IMF meetings are designed to foster greater communication and consensus on how to best manage global financial risk, but statements by some of the principals involved in resolving the Greek crisis have instead fanned the flames of financial instability.

The Dow Jones Index shed more than 300 points at one point Friday partly because of concerns about Greece, and other markets were roiled by news emanating from the Washington meeting.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde made headlines as her remarks at a news conference implied she would deny any payment delay to Greece on about $1 billion in IMF loans falling due next month.

Unless Greece concludes its negotiations for a further round of bailout money from the European Union, it is not likely to have the money to repay the IMF. The actual remarks of the former French finance minister, a veteran politician, conceivably leave the door open for her to consider a delay.

She noted in response to a question about Greece that the IMF has “never had an advanced economy asking for payment delays” and that such a delay in FIRST TAKE

WASHINGTON

Posturing on Greece dangerous Greece’s case was “clearly not a course of action that would actually fit or be recommendable in the current situation.”

This was still not an outright rejection of the notion, and Lagarde nimbly evaded a follow-up question seeking a definitive statement.

The dialogue of the deaf between Greece and its creditors continued later in the day.

Each insisted that he wanted Greece to stay in the euro, but each also ruled out any compromise on the core issues separating them.

It is a dangerous form of brinkmanship, because the resolve in Athens may be stronger than the EU and the IMF think.

Creditors could be forced to blink and compromise after all, enduring a tremendous loss of face, or to force a default with consequences that are impossible to predict.

oil-producing states such as North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

The chopping block has included other oilfield producers such as Baker Hughes, as well as large oil and gas producers such as Chevron and BP. Some cuts have occurred, and others are planned for next year.

Oil prices have fallen by more than half since mid-2014, causing many companies to cut back on exploration and production, leading to ripple effects on other businesses.

The benchmark U.S. crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, closed at $55.74 Friday, down 97 cents, or 1.7%. But prices are near their 2015 high.

“In spite of the detailed preparations we made in the fourth quarter, the abruptness of the fall in activity, particularly in North America, required us to take additional actions during the quarter,” Schlumberger said. “These included the difficult decision to make a further reduction in our workforce of 11,000 employees, leading to a total reduction of about 15% compared to the peak of the third quarter of 2014.”

Schlumberger reported firstquarter revenue of $10.2 billion, a 19% decrease. Its shares closed Friday at $92.86, up 1.06%.

As winter retreats and spring takes hold, it’s a good time to look at trees. Although there aren’t 13 investment themes to take from trees, there are three — and they’re good ones.

I. Lumber prices are a good predictor of stock market volatility.

This may sound farfetched, but it’s the subject of an award-winning paper titled “Lumber: Worth Its Weight in Gold — Offense and Defense in Active Portfolio Management” by Michael Gayed and Charlie Bilello of Pension Partners. In a nutshell: When lumber outperforms gold over the previous 13 weeks, you should be more aggressive in the stock market, and when gold outperforms, you should be more defensive.

Why lumber? Lumber prices are a good indicator of the housing market — which, in turn, is a good indicator of the economy as a whole. Unlike most housing indicators, lumber isn’t lagged by weeks or months, as are things such as housing starts and home prices. Nearby lumber futures prices are available throughout the trading day.

Toy company tries to reverse falling fortunes Q: Is it time to play with Mattel stock?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Mattel stock is bad enough to make investors want to sit down and cry. This stock belongs on the shelf for awhile.

Shares of Mattel have lost roughly a quarter of their value over the past year.

And don’t think this is just the typical Wall Street fun and games. The company’s fundamentals haven’t been any fun either.

Mattel, the company behind Barbie and Hot Wheels, saw its net income drop 44% in 2014 to nearly $500 million as revenue dropped 7% to roughly $6 billion.

The company is trying to turn things around. CEO Christopher Sinclair says the company is working to boost creativity and shorten the time it takes to get good ideas on store shelves.

The company loss during the first quarter, at 9 cents a share, at least wasn’t any worse than expected. The company missed earnings forecasts in each of the previous four quarters.

The company is likely to post an adjusted loss in the current quarter, too.

Mattel is a work in progress that’s much too soon for most investors to play with.

Adjusted profit is likely to fall again this year by 8%.

Analysts rate the stock a “hold” and say the stock is worth about what it’s trading for after the rally Friday off the earnings news.

before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, according to Morningstar.

A less expensive choice is Rayonier (RYC), which has 2.6 million acres of timberland. One reason it’s cheap: The company sells significant amounts of timber for paper, which will decline in this digital age. And it has overharvested in the Northwest, according to Morningstar. But it should benefit as timber demand increases, especially in the South.

III. You need a lot of patience — and land — to make money growing timber.

High-quality hardwood, such as walnuts, can fetch high prices.

Why not skip making an IRA contribution this year and plant a couple of walnut trees instead?

That’s an interesting thought.

Greger points out, however, that timber is no sure thing. You’ll have to be on guard against fire, insects and the occasional beaver.

You’ll have to trim the trees to grow straight and tall — otherwise, it will be hard to cut a goodsized log out of that.And you’ll need time. So you can learn a great deal from lumber, and, with the right investments, actually make some money. But the best return you can get is to walk outside on a spring morning and see them in bloom.

The trailer for the ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ movie was supposed to land Monday — but leaked late Thursday to streaming video sites. Worse, it looked like it was recorded with a shaky camcorder off a movie screen, with subtitles in Portuguese. But as they say, all publicity is good publicity.

t’s time for studios to show off what they’ve got.

CinemaCon, the four-day convention sponsored by the National Association of Theatre Owners that kicks off Monday in Las Vegas, allows exhibitors to see what studios are bringing to the table this summer.

There’s nothing shy about the revue.

“The studios are going to show off their product Magic Mikestyle,” Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock says. “The biggest film time of the year is right around the corner. If these films excite the exhibitors, they’re going to pass that enthusiasm on.

That’s what this is all about.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger will talk up Terminator: Genisys, and the Fantastic Four superheroes

will assemble. San Andreas will begin to send out tremors. And there will be inevitable surprises.

“There’s no question this is going to be the best box office summer and year of all time,” says Dave Karger, chief correspondent for Fandango.com. (The box office is already up nearly 7% from last year at $2.9 billion, according to Rentrak.) “With Furious 7 and Avengers: Age of Ultron stepping up, the studios want to keep the cheerleading going.”

HOW WAS YOUR DAY? GOOD DAY SARAH JESSICA PARKER

DANIEL ZUCHNIK WIREIMAGE

Parker is returning to HBO: She’s getting a half-hour comedy series in 2016 called ‘Divorce,’ about a “very, very long” breakup with her clueless husband, played by Thomas Haden Church.

BAD DAY ‘SÁBADO GIGANTE’ Univision is canceling the venerable Spanish-lanSLAVEN VLASIC, guage variety show GETTY IMAGES in September; no reason was given. It has been on the air 53 years (30 in the USA), making it the longest-running show ever. The host, Chilean-born Mario Kreutzberger, known on TV as Don Francisco, is 74.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “I was so focused on not being pigeonholed and so scared of being considered only one thing as an actor. Watching Christian Bale go on to do so GETTY IMAGES many other things has been just awesome. I mean, he’s been able to overcome that. I know now that I wouldn’t turn something down just because it’s a superhero role.” Josh Hartnett, in ‘Playboy,’ on his regret for turning down the role of Batman.

WILL ‘PITCH 2’ BE PERFECT? Having boosted buzz with a new clip

at last Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, Universal opens the conference Monday night with director Elizabeth Banks and a screening of the entire film.

The studio won’t say whether cast members will take to song or share any other details. But it’s a big push for the rare female-driven comedy franchise.

THANKS FOR THAT JANUARY HIT, CLINT. The conference will honor

SONY FACES THE MUSIC. Sony

will come face-to-face with theater owners for the first time officially after last year’s debacle with North Korea comedy The Interview, which ended up with a mostly independent theater/video on demand release.

Exhibitors expressed displeasure over the mangled rollout. Sony has new leadership and a slate of fresh films that include Adam Sandler’s Pixels and Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk.

“Relations soured last year,” Bock says. “Sony wants to put on a bold new face.”

‘INSIDE OUT’ FINALLY COMES OUT.

The first Pixar film in two years will be unveiled in its entirety.

Director Pete Docter’s story will give an animated look into a young girl’s mind — it’s already sparking synapses in the industry with its pedigree brand and intriguing concept.

“The advance buzz is very positive,” Karger says. “That’s one a lot of people are going to look forward to.”

Melissa McCarthy has pulled out from promoting her CIA caper (another secret mission?) at the industry event. But director Paul Feig will show the full film Thursday with stars Jason Statham, Jude Law and 50 Cent. The same night, Rose Byrne will be feted as female star of the year.

“Spy had a fantastic premiere at South by Southwest film festival,” Karger says. “Can it keep the momentum going in this next big screening?”

Clint Eastwood, the 84-year-old director and actor, who is still riding high off his box office smash American Sniper, with a luncheon tribute Wednesday.

“It’s a chance for theater owners to say thanks to Clint in person for all he’s done for them in his career,” says Mitch Neuhauser, CinemaCon managing director.

Pop meets country at ACM Awards Brian Mansfield @brian_mansfield USA TODAY

For Christina Aguilera, a duet with Rascal Flatts on Sunday’s 50th Academy of Country Music Awards will be a chance to introduce a new song.

For Rascal Flatts, it’s a chance for redemption.

The two acts will perform Aguilera’s Shotgun and Flatts’ current single, Riot, for the awards ceremony. “We’re going to do some of her song, then go into Riot,” Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus says. “It’s going to be a nice, seamless transition and a really powerful performance.”

Shotgun was written for Aguilera’s character on the ABC series Nashville, where she plays Jade St. John, a pop star.

“We’re putting a different spin on the song for the awards,” she says, “but it’s a quiet, beautiful song about true love that lasts a

lifetime.”

Flatts, who are up for top vocal group for the first time since 2012, view the performance as a way to rebuild their reputation after being caught lip-syncing their song Rewind during last year’s show. Lead singer Gary LeVox had lost his voice shortly before the ceremony.

“It’s the only time we’ve ever tried it,” DeMarcus says. “We’re still getting asked about it.” This year is “a chance to redeem ourselves, to show everybody we have a wonderfully gifted singer in Gary and a wonderful partnership with Christina.”

DeMarcus says the group jumped at the chance to perform with Aguilera.

“When you make a list of people you want to collaborate with, over the years that list gets shorter,” he says. “Christina was one of those names that’s always been at the top of the list, but we’d never had the chance to work with her.”

It happened this way: Aguilera

has become friends with ACM cohost Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert, through working with Shelton on NBC’s The Voice. Though she has yet to meet the Rascal Flatts trio, she says, “I really love the rich tone of (LeVox’s) voice. He has a sound that fans recognize immediately.”

Aguilera is not the only pop star appearing on Sunday’s show: Nick Jonas is set to sing with

country duo Dan + Shay. Other entertainers include Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Florida Georgia Line and George Strait. A reunited Brooks & Dunn will give their first TV performance since 2010.

The Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Shelton and Luke Bryan, airs live from AT&T Stadium on Sunday in Arlington, Texas (CBS, 8 ET/PT).

DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE SHOT PUT

Like a shot

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Shot put circuit perfect for TV Five years of interviewing shot putters and watching them compete sparked a light bulb in my head, a genuinely good idea, one I’m putting down on paper here before it dies of loneliness or gets trampled by the debris that flies around up there in stops and starts, billions of tumbleweeds caught in that ceaseless wind storm between my left and right ears.

Here goes: A Hollywood producer needs to make a Reality TV show out of the shot-put circuit that starts every year in Lawrence. All of the events must be on city streets, with standings kept, interviews with all the competitors and shots of them checking out the nightlife in American and European cities across the world.

Call it, “Behind the Muscles: Globe-trotting with He-Men.” Or something punchier.

John Nubani, a former football and baseball player at Yale and president of “Sports Management and Marketing, Inc.” in Pittsburgh, long has been an advocate of having a downtown shot put series throughout cities in America and Europe. So far, no network has bitten. I shared my idea of making a Reality TV series out of it.

“It would be a fantastic reality show,” Nubani said.

“Can you imagine these guys going to 10 cities or 12 cities over the course of a season, and the winner gets a million dollars or something of that nature?

Have these guys scoring points, like the Fed Ex Cup on the PGA tour. And personalize it. Have (footage of) them training and doing the things they do.

One never really knows what to expect out of the Downtown Lawrence Shot Put. Not even its defending champion, Christian Cantwell.

Not once before had the

fifth-annual springtime spectacle turned out a repeat winner. Nor had the Eldon, Missouri, native and former Mizzou Tiger ever competed in Kansas University territory without getting showered with boos.

Free State High will name Shawnee Heights’ Sam Stroh as its next head boys basketball coach, according to published reports.

Free State athletic director Mike Hill told the Journal-World that he will provide more information today.

Stroh coached for two seasons at Shawnee Heights, leading the Thunderbirds to a 20-3 record last year and a spot in the Class 5A state quarterfinals, the school’s first appearance at state since 2002.

Before that, he was an assistant at Blue Valley North for six seasons.

Stroh will replace Chuck Law, who announced his resignation on March 9. Law led the Firebirds to an 11-10 record last season.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S MICHAEL STIGLER CLEARS a hurdle in the men’s 400-meter event. Stigler won the race at the Kansas Relays on Friday at Rock Chalk Park.

Michael Stigler had his Friday all mapped out. Venture out to Rock Chalk Park.

Jog. Stretch. Pretty simple.

The Kansas University senior — like most collegiate competitors at the Kansas Relays — had his plans wrecked Thursday night, though, when forecasts of severe Saturday weather moved the final day of events up to Friday.

So Stigler simply altered his mind-set, arrived at his home facility ready to compete and won the 400 hurdles easily, in 50.07 seconds.

Exactly what one would expect from a back-to-back runner-up at the NCAA

Championships who holds the No. 1 time in the world this year (48.44).

Since setting his personal-best mark at the Texas Relays in late March, Stigler’s name brings a little extra with it to the track.

Such was the case Friday, when the crowd buzzed in anticipation of watching the 2016 Olympic hopeful.

“That definitely puts all eyes on me, just lets me know people are paying attention to me,” Stigler said after repeating as Kansas Relays champion in his marquee event. “It does put a little adrenaline rush through my body, just hearing my name, hearing that Please see STIGLER, page 3C

Texas edges Jayhawks in 14 innings

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University catcher Michael Tinsley scored a run, drove in another and threw out a runner trying to steal second base.

But it was a leadoff walk in the bottom of the 11th inning that was nearly his biggest contribution. That walk set the stage for the Jayhawks

to load the bases with one out and put them something as simple as a sacrifice fly away from topping Texas.

But it never came.

After Blair Beck singled and Joe Moroney was intentionally walked, designated hitter Steve Goldstein bounced into a double play to end the threat. Three innings later, the Longhorns scraped together a run of

their own in a similar fashion and left Hoglund Ballpark with a 3-2, 14-inning victory.

“That was the biggest turning point in the ball game,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “You can win with a sacrifice fly, and that George Mullinix/Special to the Journal-World was just devastating.”

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Royals and A’s picked up right where they left off. Friday night, it nearly turned into punches.

In their first meeting since last September’s dramatic wild-card game, Paulo Orlando delivered a go-ahead triple in the eighth inning to help Kansas City to a 6-4 victory.

The victory nearly came at a big loss for the Royals when shortstop Alcides Escobar was run over by the Athletics’ Brett Lawrie covering second base.

The Royals took umbrage with Lawrie’s late slide, and both benches quickly emptied before order was restored.

“I can’t judge intent,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, who later acknowledged that he didn’t think Lawrie was trying to hurt Escobar when he slid over the bag.

Escobar was diagnosed with a sprained knee and likely will be sidelined for a few days.

“I’m trying to break up a double play there. It’s a tie game.

No one is trying to hurt anyone there,” Lawrie said. “That’s just playing the game hard.”

Omar Infante drove in a pair of runs for the Royals, whose 12-inning victory over the A’s last year ultimately spurred them all the way to Game 7 of the World Series.

Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis (2-0) each pitched a scoreless inning in relief of Jeremy Guthrie, and Greg Holland breezed through the ninth for his fourth save.

Dan Otero (0-1) gave up both runs in the eighth inning for Oakland.

“It was eerily similar to about six months ago,” said the A’s Stephen Vogt, who played in that wild playoff game at Kauffman Stadium that ended their season.

Vogt had a pair of solo homers Friday night, and Ike Davis also went deep for the A’s, whose team bears little resemblance to the one from a year ago. For one thing, their designated hitter these days is Billy Butler, who was playing for the Royals back then.

Butler went 1-for-4, extending his hitting streak to 10 games to start the season.

Escobar was helped off the field without putting any weight on his left leg, while Lawrie had to be escorted by his teammates through a horde of angry Royals and back to the Oakland dugout.

“It was a weird play,” said Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer, who had a good view of the play. “It was obviously late, but I don’t think he meant anything by it.”

KANSAS RELAYS • HIGH SCHOOLS

Clark, Dabney doing their part

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High seniors Kiara Clark and Gabbi Dabney stepped into new roles this season, and they shined in their first big meet.

In the past, there was less pressure running hurdles alongside seventime state champion Alexa Harmon-Thomas, who would set the pace and have opponents gunning to beat her.

Now Clark and Dabney are dominating together to fill that void. Dabney took sixth place in the 100-meter hurdles, while Clark finished ninth at the Kansas Relays on Friday at Rock Chalk Park.

Clark finished seventh in the 300 hurdles, her best event.

“We’re a good fit, especially when we’re doing flat work together. We’re always pushing each other,” said Dabney, who added a fourth-place finish in the high jump and was 26th in the 300 hurdles. “Whenever I’m having an off day, she always makes sure I’m giving my best. Same with if she has an off day, I always make sure I’m pushing her.”

Clark, who will run at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco next year, missed the first two meets of the season

over that mental barrier, it’s going to put over us the hump of where we want to be.”

Edwards took 12th place in the girls 400-meters, Free State sophomore Emily Venters was 12th in the 3,200 meters and 16th in the 1,600, and FSHS senior Ryan Liston took 13th in the boys 3,200.

In a rematch of the 100-meter dash at the Free State and LHS dual two weeks ago, FSHS sophomore Avin Lane edged LHS junior JD Woods by 0.01 seconds to take 10th place, finishing in 11.25 seconds.

it was her worst marks of the season in both events.

Matia Finley was slightly better in the shot put, finishing 14th.

Rebecca Finley put extra pressure on herself when her college coach from Colorado State University, where she’s orally committed, showed up to watch her compete for the first time.

“I’m trying to hit 160 (feet) this year, and it would have been nice to hit 160 with him here,” Finley said. “But I’ve got to get out of my head more.”

LHS senior Tae Shorter took ninth place in the triple jump, earning a spot in the finals when he jumped 43 feet, 10.5 inches on his third attempt.

He missed a few meets early in the season due to tendinitis in his knees and a foot injury.

“I was just happy that I got into the 43’s since I’ve been out for a while,” Shorter said. “I’m just trying to get my body back into it. It’s all a process.”

Free State junior pole vaulter Callie Hicks finished seventh, clearing 10-11.75, LHS junior Amani Bledsoe set a personal-record when he took 17th in the shot put (4711.5), and junior Kyleigh Severa took 12th in the long jump with a leap of 16-4.5.

because of a hamstring injury. She said she was disappointed in her races because she knows how fast she wants to be, and her injury has slowed her down a little bit.

“I think having Alexa around was nice because they had somebody to kind of always be chasing and always be pushing them a little bit further,” FSHS coach Jordan Rose said. “We didn’t have her a lot last year anyway, so this is kind of their second year that they’ve really gotten to come into their own. I’m seeing a lot of improvement.”

After taking third place

at the Kansas Relays last year, Lawrence High’s girls 4x400 relay team — seniors Jensen Edwards, Marissa Pope, Leah Gabler and sophomore Myah Yoder — took seventh place with a season-best time of 4:03.40.

The ultra-competitive two-time defending state champions weren’t satisfied with their run as they work toward trying to break the state record time of 3:53.0.

“I think, honestly, it’s like a mental thing,” Gabler said. “We train hard in practice, and we do all we can. The physical part is there. Getting

Field Events Lawrence High senior Rebecca Finley was disappointed with how she put the shot on Friday and was determined to make up for it in the discus.

She didn’t mind the result in the discus, taking third place, but wasn’t happy with her performance. Her best toss was 144 feet, 5 inches. Her twin sister, Matia Finley, took fifth place with a throw of 142 feet, 6 inches.

“My whole form, my technique was off because I was just trying to throw it far,” said Rebecca Finley, who took 17th in the shot put and noted

Cantwell pumped his fist after opening the event in spectacular fashion. But he assumed better heaves were ahead.

“I actually thought I was gonna throw it quite a bit farther after that one,” the victor said.

Hoffa came closer than anyone on the second throw of the evening, but couldn’t muster a superior mark, even with the fans lining both sides of the street and watching from beyond the pit often chanting, “Reese.”

Cantwell had the title sealed before closing the

competition with his sixth throw, but still hoped to eclipse 70-6.5. Instead, that exact number bookended the festivities for the 2008 Olympic silver medalist. He said he had “lost it” by that point, because it is early in the competitive season and he’s just “grabbing and ripping” at this juncture.

“That last one was really good,” Cantwell clarified. “Just didn’t have any stank on it.”

Now 34, the two-time Olympian is trying to pace himself these days as he works toward an-

other possible appearance in the 2016 Games, in Rio de Janeiro.

“All my good years have followed years of not being hurt,” Cantwell said. “That’s what I’m looking for.”

Suddenly a man of the people at the Lawrence competition, the one-time downtown villain loves the event because of its uniqueness, which allows him to mix it up and get close to the crowd.

“When you’ve been doing it for this long,” he said, “you need something to juice it up.”

Cantwell, who threw a personal best of 73-11.5 in 2004, liked his power during his title defense.

And, in his mind, that’s all that matters.

“For me, and being old, I’ve still got some good tread on the tire,” he said.

“I think I can still throw super-far. I think I can still throw PR. It’s whether or not my body lets that happen.”

Canadian Tim Nedow explained why the winning marks set in the five Downtown Lawrence CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C Shot Put events always exceed 70 feet, not the Olympics, trying to be norm for so early in the the best in the world.

“I’m sure there are some guys ready for that,” Nedow said. “I’m not sure I’m one of them.”

Again, Nubani thought such footage would work well.

“There are a number of younger throwers who are single and, believe me, they have a lot of fun, especially in Europe, where they’re idolized,” Nubani said. “These guys, in Europe, they have groupies following them.”

Talk about compelling TV. Season I, Episode VI: “Inside the mind of Shot Put Annie.”

Christian Cantwell, the most popular University of Missouri athlete in the history of Lawrence, has won the event the past two years. He also deserves a prize for coming up with an outstanding twist to the Reality TV idea.

“Put us all in the same house and make us train

together,” Cantwell said.

“Everybody’s true personality would come out.

Have the Olympic trials be a series of say eight meets, where you throw out the high mark, the low mark, take the outliers out and average the other six marks. Make the championship meet count double.”

One great idea at a time. For now, the throwers aren’t thinking about Reality TV, but do want a street-shot-put circuit established. They’re all grateful to the city of Lawrence and event organizer Bob Sanner for staging a first-class, world-class event.

“We had meets of this sort before, but I think they do it better here,” Cantwell said. “The organization is better here.

The word spreads better here.”

In Zurich, a vector is constructed in a train station. In Stockholm, it’s in a city center, the same

for a city in the Netherlands.

“Passers-by will stop and watch, and they do stop, but they don’t know anything about us,” Cantwell said. “Here, with the mingling we do with the crowd, I feel like people are getting to know us.”

Said Nubani: “The throwers in Europe are keeping an eye on the event in Lawrence. They see the good marks, and they want to know what’s going on. Many of the meets in Europe are now trying to emulate this and are getting them out of the stadium, so the people can be right on top of the athletes. The athletes want it.”

Lawrence, which has such a rich history of track-and-field athletes excelling for Kansas University, is changing the sport for the better, and with any luck it will lead to significantly upgrading Reality TV.

my belt before I leave KU.” More accurately, he wants that championship before his days as a collegian come to an end.

Stigler revealed his postgraduate plans include staying right here in Lawrence so he can continue training with Kansas sprints and hurdles coach Elisha Brewer. He wants to stay in a groove by running at meets and probably will even compete at the 2016 Kansas Relays — all in the hope of prepping himself for the Olympic trials.

Any time in the range of 47.9 to 48.4, Stigler said, should be low enough to

land him on the U.S. team before the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“I definitely feel like I’m close,” he said. “I can taste it. I’ve just gotta keep working.”

On a long day, kickstarted by junior Sydney Conley winning the 100-meter dash with a personal record of 11.54 seconds, the Kansas women’s team won the quadrangular at the Kansas Relays with 194 team points, topping rival Kansas State, Colorado State and Purdue.

Twin sisters Malika and Nashia Baker, from nearby Lansing, teamed with Hannah Dimmick and Hannah Richard-

son to win the 4x800 (8:50.66). KU’s Sharon Lokedi took first in the 5,000 (17:20.47) by beating teammate Alaina Schroeder by six-hundredths of a second, and Colleen O’Brien won the high jump (6-0.75).

Behind Stigler, who also anchored a 4x400 victory late Friday night, and firstplace points from Kenneth McCuin (400, 47.49), Ben Burchstead (3,000 steeplechase, 9:23.15), Jacob Morgan (5,000, 14:20.71) and the 4x800 relay team of Ben Brownlee, Juan del Azar, Brandon Bernal and Teddy Oteba, KU’s men won their quadrangular with 226 points.

Now that he can see his KU career winding down right in front of him, the senior has unfinished business at the NCAA Championships.

Jayhawks to play exhibitions in K.C.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

There will be summertime basketball in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

Kansas University’s basketball team, as coach Bill Self first mentioned at Monday’s season-ending banquet, will play Team Canada in a pair of exhibition games to prepare KU and Canada for the World University Games.

The Jayhawks, who will represent the United States in the World Games (July 3-14, South Korea), will square off with Canada at 7 p.m., June 23 and 7 p.m., June 26 in Sprint Center. Self said the games will not be played in Allen Fieldhouse because KU’s building is not airconditioned. There would likely be sauna-like conditions with fans packing the building that time of year.

Tickets are currently available for purchase by Williams Fund members.

A two-game ticket package costs $50. General public sales will begin on May 13.

The Jayhawks will be allowed to field a 12-man roster for the Games. The roster will include any incoming recruits and/ or transfers who are from the U.S. KU’s Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk cannot play for the KU/USA team because he is a native of Ukraine.

The Canadian team is the one that will participate in the World University Games, thus is not the national team that will include former KU player Andrew Wiggins.

Even though KU was selected by the U.S. International University Sports Federation, the Jayhawk athletic department is responsible for all costs associated with the trip. KU officials said proceeds from these two exhibition games will help fund these expenses.

The World University Games and two exhibitions will feature FIBA rules including four, 10-minute quarters and a 24-second shot clock. l

Diallo MVP again: KU recruiting target Cheick Diallo, who was MVP of the McDonald’s All-America Game, was co-MVP of Friday’s Jordan Brand Classic in New York. Diallo, a 6-9, 220-pound senior from Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, scored 26 points off 12-of-16 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds in the East’s 118-116 loss to the West. Future Arizona player Allonzo Trier had 28 points for the West and shared MVP with Diallo.

ESPN’s broadcast crew indicated that KU coach Bill Self was to have a meeting with Diallo after the game, with St. John’s to make a final pitch today and Kentucky on Monday.

He’s also considering Iowa State and Pitt.

“Nobody knows where I go to college,” Diallo told Zagsblog.com after the game.

KU recruiting target Malik Newman also played (8 points), while Jaylen Brown sat out the contest because of a sore hip. Newman, 6-4 from Callaway High in Jackson, Mississippi, is considering KU, Kentucky, LSU, N.C. State, Mississippi and Mississippi State. Brown, 6-7 from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia, is considering KU, Cal, UCLA, Kentucky, Michigan, Georgia, Georgia Tech and North Carolina.

KU coaches are slated to meet with Brandon Ingram, 6-8 forward from Kinston (North Carolina) High, today, according to Zagsblog.com.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Trout joins 100-100 club The Associated Press

American League Angels 6, Astros 3 Houston — Angels star Mike Trout homered twice to become the youngest player in history with 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases as the Angels edged the Astros on Friday.

Trout, who has 104 steals, hit a two-run shot off Roberto Hernandez in the sixth inning for his 100th homer, giving the Angels a 3-1 lead. At 23 years and 253 days old, Trout became the youngest player to reach the feat — breaking the mark set by Alex Rodriguez (23 years, 309 days old).

After the Astros tied it with single runs in the sixth and seventh, Trout hit a three-run shot against reliever Chad Qualls (0-1) in the eighth.

Tigers 2, White Sox 1 Detroit — Jose Iglesias hit a game-ending RBI single, and the Tigers improved their majorleague-best record to 9-1.

Nick Castellanos led off the ninth with a sinking liner to right off Zach Duke (1-1). Castellanos stretched the hit into a double, and while replays appeared to show shortstop Alexei Ramirez tagging him on a toe, second base umpire Brian O’Nora called the runner safe.

Chicago manager Robin Ventura came out to discuss the play with the umpires. Ventura said O’Nora told him that Ramirez had missed him, and the manager returned to the dugout.

Ventura then came back on the field after hearing from the team’s replay staff. Umpires ruled the time for a challenge had lapsed because the manager had gone back to the dugout and the Tigers had inserted Andrew Romine to run for Castellanos.

AGENT SPOTLIGHT Sarah Dreiling Realtor

(785)766-4666 Sarah@SarahDreiling.com Where did you grow up?

Right here in Lawrence, Kansas! I am a native Lawrencian and attended the University of Kansas too.

What area do you live in now? What do you like most about it?

I live in west Lawrence near Free State High School. I love the community atmosphere and the neighborly bonds. There are kids in the street playing all the time, pets running around, and we will take our fire pit out on to the driveway on nice nights where anyone is welcome to join us.

What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I truly do love what I do so it doesn’t feel like work, but I enjoy outdoor activities such as rock climbing, riding motorcycles, hiking, spending time exploring Lawrence’s ever-changing downtown, attending concerts, and of course supporting my Jayhawks at every opportunity. And I am a rabid Royals fan so obviously last year (and this year so far) has been fantastic!

How long have you worked in Real Estate?

A little over 8 wonderful years!

What did you do before that?

I was a student at the University of Kansas and I worked full time in the service industry throughout my collegiate career too. I started in high school bussing and waiting tables at a hometown favorite, Fifi’s Restaurant. Fifi was an absolutely incredible woman and role model. She taught me so much about customer care and appreciation. From there I moved on to work on the Plaza at Plaza III The Steakhouse and then bartended in Westport. I also helped out bartending around town at JB Stouts and Yacht Club when they were short-staffed. So I’ve always been involved in fields of service.

What is your specialty?

I am a full-time Realtor® so 100% of my attention and focus is on my clients, their needs, and how I can help them reach their goals.

My specialty is professionalism and exceptional client service.

What designations do you have and what does it mean for the people you work with?

I have earned my CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute) and e-Pro. Only 4% of Realtors® ever earn the CRS designation but account for 28% of all the business being done. I believe clients appreciate that I continue to learn and educate myself about this ever-changing industry.

What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do?

My days are NEVER the same, which most days are very gratifying but some days are challenging! It is exciting to know that every day will bring something new and different. Times can be stressful, when emergencies arise or issues pop up that must be dealt with immediately, it can throw a kink in your perfectly planned out calendar, but it is never boring!

What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate?

Well I’ve seen things I’m sure we cannot print in a family-friendly publication, but just a couple weeks ago in the span of 24 hours, I saw two grown men over 6 ft. tall jump like babies at the sight of snakes while out looking at houses! One was a buyer looking at a home near Perry Lake and another was a dear sweet colleague of mine who smacked his head on the beam of a house we were looking at. I’m sure he had quite a bump but it did provide me with quite a bit of amusement!

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?

Don’t trust everything you read on the internet. All real estate is local so go to a local expert for the most accurate information.

What do you see in the future for real estate sales/prices?

This year has been incredibly hot and listings have frequently gotten multiple offers and I do not see that trend changing soon.

Why should someone choose you as their Real Estate Agent?

To quote some of my past clients, “How do we sum up all that Sarah is? Exceptional. She is simply exceptional at what she does, how she makes YOU feel, and how she guides you through the process.

Her level of service cannot be matched.” The Laskares’

I’m getting ready to list an incredibly unique home that backs to the golf course. The seller gutted it over the last couple years and really maximized the phenomenal views with a wall of windows, high end finishes, and spectacular style. It is really a show piece that I am excited to bring to the market.

The league honored 33 men’s golfers on its allacademic teams.

To qualify for Academic All-Big 12, student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 60 percent of their scheduled contests.

Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.

Weather alters Big 12 honors KU-Tulsa events 10 KU golfers

The threat of inclement weather altered two Kansas University sporting events scheduled this weekend in Tulsa.

KU was to play an exhibition soccer match with Tulsa U. at 2 p.m. today, but that match has been canceled.

KU soccer will host Creighton in a spring exhibition at 6 p.m., April 25.

And Kansas tweaked its weekend softball plans with Tulsa. The first game of a two-game set scheduled for today has been washed.

KU and Tulsa still plan to play their Sunday game at 2 p.m.

Ten Kansas University golfers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 teams, the conference announced Friday.

On the women’s side, five golfers were named to the first team: seniors Gabriella DiMarco, Michelle Woods, Minami Levonowich and Carly Humes and junior Yupaporn Kawinpakorn.

There were 27 women’s golf academic all-league student-athletes named, with 24 first-team members and three on the second squad.

Kansas’ Gardner drafted by Fever

Former Kansas University basketball standout Chelsea Gardner was tapped 21st overall by the Indiana Fever in Thursday night’s WNBA Draft.

The 6-foot-3 forward led the Jayhawks with 16.8 points per game during her senior season. Gardner earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in addition to AllAmerica honorable mentions from the Associated Press and the Women’s Basketball Coaches Asso-

ciation. She also averaged 8.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and finished No. 12 on Kansas’ career scoring list with 1,516 points.

“I was nervous and anxious waiting to see my name on the screen, but it’s a great opportunity and it’s always been my dream of mine,” Gardner said.

Gardner is the seventh KU player taken in the WNBA draft and the first since former teammate Angel Goodrich was drafted 29th overall by Tulsa in 2013.

Kansas tennis blanked by Bears Waco, Texas — Baylor University dropped just two games in sweeping

the doubles point, then dropped just seven games over three singles matches to rout Kansas University, 4-0, in Big 12 tennis on Friday at Hawkins Indoor Tennis Center.

The Jayhawks played the eighth-ranked Bears with a shuffled lineup made shorthanded due to injury and illness.

KU will conclude the regular season Sunday at Texas.

He might actually enjoy going for daily runs.

Rosie

It wouldn’t be right of me to leave out the only cat we have for adoption at the Lawrence Petco.

Meet sweet Rosie. She is 3 years old and is a Domestic Short Hair mix with black brown tabby markings. We don’t know how she will do with another cat, but there are ways to introduce a new pet to your home, so give us a call if you need some guidance.

Go meet her today.

Bonnie

As we age, our priorities change. The same goes for animals. Little 12 year old Bonnie was not ready to share her space with the new little human in the house. It was decided that she should come here to find a home where she can be the center of attention. She is a cream grey (Siamese) mix and weighs in at almost 7 lbs. She would be happy to share your home with you and maybe some older kids.

Roman

The short answer for Roman: busy. The long answer would be Terrier mix, a little over 1 year old, black brown coat, about 26 lbs. and crazy cute ears. He would do best in a home where being busy is fun and acceptable. This little dog is not a couch potato. He would do great with older kids who can keep him occupied. Another dog would be a good option too.

PePPeR

Pepper was part of a transfer from another shelter and we couldn’t have picked a better group of cats. She is a Domestic Short Hair with black brown tabby markings. She was staying in their free roaming cat room, so we know that she would be able to adapt to another cat. She is 4 years old and is a medium sized fellow. She can be a bit gabby, so if you like chatty cats, she would be the girl to see.

BonBon

Bonbon is an adorable Terrier mix with a smile that melts hearts. She weighs about 42 lbs. and has a solid red coat. She is only 1 year old and would benefit from some puppy classes to help her learn to be the best she can be. Children and maybe another dog should be okay. Make a visit to the shelter and see if she is the one you’ve been looking for.

See you soon.

Kenneth

Say What? Kenneth is a young and always curious American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He’s in search of that special someone to help him find all the answers.

At a little over 1 year, he hasn’t been around long enough to know all there is to know about being a dog. His coat is black with white markings and he’s a healthy weight at almost 58 lbs. You can help him quench his thirst for knowledge. Adopt today.

JaCKy

Jacky’s another of our cats who is now residing at the new PetSmart.

He’s a gentle guy and is only a little over 1 year old. He’s a Domestic Long Hair with a black with white coat. We took him in when he had no place else to go. Even though he’s full grown, he’s small in stature at about 8 lbs. Go check out the new store. Jacky would be happy to help you buy supplies when you adopt him.

Lady

Sing along with me.

“Little bitty Pitty one.

Come along with me”.

Silly, but Lady is an adorable little girl. She is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix and has a black and brown brindle coat. She is a compact powerhouse, but can be a calm treat loving girl when she wants to be. She does like to pick her friends (as most of us do), so a dog meet is a must for her.

thoR

Thor is one of those stoic cats that are easy to get along with, but aren’t real demanding. He is about 10 months old and has a gorgeous orange cream tabby coat. Those big yellow eyes and his pleasant demeanor will win you over in no time.

He would prefer to be the only cat, so be ready to be on the receiving end of his affections. If you don’t have a carrier and collar, you can get them here.

CLove

Look at this sweet face.

Clove is a tiny Domestic Short Hair with a white orange cream tabby coat.

She is about 3 years old and is a demure little lady. Not sure if she would like another kitty in the home, but she has more than enough love to go around. She is shy and quiet, so she would do best in a home where she is appreciated for who she is. Would that be your home?
