Report may help city change incentives policy 2015 projects receiving financial help were all in compliance, review finds

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Skepticism about how Lawrence is using its economic development incentives has been raised in City Commission conversations on a few recent projects:

The Eldridge hotel expansion, HERE Kansas and an apartment development at 800 New Hampshire St. Now, the City Commission’s acceptance at its weekly meeting today of a report detailing Lawrence’s economic development incentive work

in 2015 will kick-start a review — and potential changes — to policies that govern those incentives.

“I always think of this report as historical record: what we’ve done, how did it work, is that the way it’s going to go in the future or are we going to do something

different,” said Britt CrumCano, Lawrence’s economic development coordinator. “I think it provides context for that.”

The Economic Development Support and Compliance report is produced every year and details what the city provided in assistance

A PEDESTRIAN WALKS PAST A RAIN-SOAKED ALLEYWAY MONDAY between the 700 and 800 blocks of Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets in downtown Lawrence. About a half-inch of rain was recorded in Lawrence on Monday, but with just .62 inches so far for the month of April, the city is still well below its normal rainfall total of 2.25 inches.

t is becoming a familiar issue for city commissioners to consider: Should a new multistory building in downtown Lawrence be offered some sort of financial incentive from the city?

It looks like the next project commissioners will be asked to consider is a proposed five-story commercial/residential building along Vermont Street that former City Commissioner Bob Schumm hopes to build.

Back in June, we reported that Schumm had plans for a major building on the vacant lot that is just south of the old Headmasters salon building Schumm in the 800 block of Vermont Street.

Well, the proposal has changed a bit since then — we reported on some changes in August — and Schumm said he is getting closer to moving ahead with the project.

But Schumm told me

Lawrence will receive about $190,000 in state funding this year to give students safe routes to Liberty Memorial Central Middle School and Woodlawn Elementary School.

But the city missed out on funding — for the second consecutive year — to complete the “Lawrence Loop,” or what’s intended to be a 22-mile shareduse path that would circle the city.

The Kansas Department of Transportation on Friday

announced the alternative transportation projects across the state that are receiving awards this year. KDOT was looking to fund projects that are pedestrian or bicycle related; include preserving historic transportation structures; offer safe routes to school; or improve scenic

he has decided he’s going to need a city incentive to make the project work as planned. Schumm said he plans to file this month an application for a property tax rebate through the Neighborhood Revitalization Act. No word yet on exactly how large of a rebate the project may seek.

The city has given out rebates in the 50 percent range to 85 percent.

Schumm said there is one particular part of the project that makes the incentive needed.

“The project is going to have 22 underground parking spaces that are very expensive,” Schumm said.

Jury set in trial for 2015 killing The jury trial process got underway Monday for a 34-year-old Oskaloosa man accused of killing a Lawrence man in 2015.

Joshua Lee Back faces felony charges of seconddegree murder and theft.

He is accused of stealing a pickup truck and stabbing another man, 45-year-old Tracy Dean Lautenschlager, in the neck on May 25, 2015, according to Back arrest affidavits filed in Douglas County District Court.

For most of Monday, prosecuting and defense attorneys interviewed a pool of 42 potential jurors, questioning them about their jobs, family members, personal histories and their opinions on issues such as methamphetamine or police interrogation techniques.

After hours of questions, a total of 14 jurors, including two alternates, were chosen as the jury for Back’s trial.

Just after 6 a.m. on May 25, 2015, Lautenschlager was found bleeding heavily in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant at 1309 W. Sixth St., the affidavit says. He was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, but died within the hour.

Projects receiving incentives in 2015 ranged from historic renovations to development of manufacturing plants, hotels and apartment and retail projects.

A blood trail led officers from the parking lot to a nearby home at 700 Arkansas St., where a pool of blood was found at the southeast door, the affidavit says. Police interviewed three witnesses inside the home who told them Lautenschlager and another man, Jeremy McCarty, smoked methamphetamine there the night before.

McCarty later told officers he heard Back speaking on May 25 about cutting a person’s throat and laughing about the amount of blood coming from the wound, the affidavit says.

A gray pickup truck was also stolen from the Arkansas Street home after the incident, the affidavit says.

The next day another man, Steven Radcliff, told police he also heard Back speaking about cutting a person’s throat the day before as the two drove a gray truck to a Bio-Foods plant, the affidavit says. Radcliff said he forced Back to get out of the truck after he made the comment.

A gray pickup truck matching the description of the stolen vehicle was found at a Jefferson County Bio-Foods meat packing plant on May 26, the affidavit says.

Back was arrested in Leavenworth County on May 27 after leading police on a chase in both Jefferson and Leavenworth counties.

Back remains in the Douglas County Jail in lieu of $750,000 bond. He is scheduled to be back in court at 9 a.m. today, when attorneys will present their opening statements.

A grant awarded Friday will allow the city of Eudora to complete a mixed-use trail at the school campus south of Kansas Highway 10.

The Kansas Department of Transportation informed the city that its application for a transportation alternatives grant of up to $261,886 was approved for phase two of the Eudora South Trail. The grant of federal money, which is administered by KDOT, will provide 80 percent of the funds needed to install the 10-foot-wide concrete trail that will stretch about 3,500 feet in length. The city will be responsible for a 20 percent match of $65,472.

School CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

$189,156 for the second phase of its Safe Routes to School program. The city will be obligated to make a 20 percent match of $47,289, for a total project cost of $236,445.

According to a city memo from November, Lawrence wants to use the money to install sidewalks and 10 crosswalk beacons surrounding Liberty Memorial Central Middle School, 1400 Massachusetts St., and Woodlawn Elementary School, 508 Elm St. in North Lawrence. Those were the first priorities settled on by a Safe Routes to School working group,

As is standard with KDOT grants, the city is also responsible for rightof-way acquisition, utility relocation and design and engineering costs.

The trail, which is part of the city’s parks master plan, will connect to an existing trail that runs along County Route 1061.

The new trail also will run along the perimeter of the school district’s property, will connect to a neighborhood park, the district’s middle school, and will have two access points into the adjacent Shadow Ridge neighborhood.

Several administrative steps have to be cleared with KDOT before the city can design and bid school district staff and a survey of parents.

Lawrence was not granted the $600,000 it sought from KDOT this year to complete four sections of the Lawrence Loop. Had the project received funding, the city would’ve been required to pay a 20 percent match of $150,000, plus $100,000 in design costs, for a total project cost of $850,000.

The sections were: 750 linear feet from 29th Street to the Haskell Rail-Trail to the South Lawrence Trafficway Trail; 1,450 linear feet from Hobbs Park to 9 Del Lofts; 950 linear feet from Poehler Lofts to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Depot; and 800 linear feet from City Hall to Constant Park.

the project, said Barack Matite, Eudora’s assistant city manager. Nonetheless, the city anticipates the project will be completed this construction season, he said.

Completion of the Eudora South Trail would add momentum to the city’s longstanding request that KDOT provide a pedestrian walkway over Kansas Highway 10 at the Church Street intersection, Matite said.

“That is the only link in the community connecting north and south Eudora,” he said. “Now that we will have the trail in place, we know that will be needed to improve public safety.”

BRIEFLY Quail Run principal named HR director The Lawrence school district has named a new director of human resources.

Samrie Devin, currently Quail Run Elementary principal, will begin her new position in July, the district announced Monday. Devin will replace Anna Stubblefield, who will assume the role of assistant superintendent of business and operations.

Devin has been Devin principal of Quail Run since 2014 and prior to that served as an elementary principal for 10 years and a classroom teacher for eight years for the Geary County school district.

“Samrie (Devin) is a dedicated veteran administrator who will bring a

wealth of experience as an educator and building principal to the district’s Human Resources Department,” incoming Lawrence schools Superintendent Kyle Hayden said in a news release.

Devin earned her bachelor’s degree at Morehead State University and master’s degrees at MidAmerica Nazarene University and Kansas State University.

“I am honored to be joining the Human Resource team,” Devin said in the release. “I look forward to helping teachers and staff best meet the needs of all students.”

The district will immediately begin a search for a new principal at Quail Run.

U.S. Sen. Moran files for re-election U.S. Senator Jerry Moran has filed for re-election.

Moran, a Kansas Republican from Hays, is seeking his second term in the U.S. Senate, after serving seven terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Moran’s filing Moran comes at a time when speculation has been increasing that U.S.

Rep. Mike Pompeo will run against Moran in the Republican primary.

In an email announcement on Monday, Moran indicated he would be running on a conservative platform, saying he plans to “stand against those who spend recklessly, surrender continually, and tax repeatedly.”

Baldwin City school district could move offices

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

The Baldwin school district’s administrative offices may be moved to a new community center if voters approve funding for the facility in November.

Superintendent Paul Dorathy told the Baldwin school board of that possibility at its meeting Monday after providing an update on negotiations with Baker University about the university’s interest in purchasing two Chapel Street properties.

The school board agreed in February to talk with Baker about its interest in purchasing the district office and maintenance buildings in the 700 block of Chapel Street and the vacant square block it owns north of the 500 block of

Most of the money would be spent at Osawatomie State Hospital in eastern Kansas; Keck said working conditions are the bigger concern for

Crum-Cano said all of the entities receiving incentives were in compliance in 2015.

“We’ve got a variety of programs, each designed to work on certain goals,” she said. “I think, overall, they’re doing exactly as they’re designed to do.”

City reimbursements to The Oread hotel, the site of a tax increment financing district and transportation development district, have been suspended during an ongoing investigation into how developers are using those incentives.

Because it’s still under construction, reimbursements have not started for HERE Kansas, the apartment and retail development near Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium.

The city’s performance agreement with HERE developers is in the process of being amended.

City boards will use the report when reviewing Lawrence’s overarching economic development policies in the next month.

Chapel Street. The district office and maintenance building are bordered on the east, south and west

by Baker property, and the vacant lot abuts university property to the south.

Andy Jett, Baker vice president of strategic planning and academic resources, told the Journal-World last month the university was interested in the properties so that it could secure its northern boundary for future needs.

Dorathy said there was little to report as talks were on hold while Baker officials worked to get evaluations on the two properties to share with the district.

Should the properties be sold, the district would be looking for a new district office. Dorathy said Baldwin City Parks and Recreation Director Steve

Friend suggested district offices, perhaps with conference and board rooms, could be part of a new community center.

Last month, the school district approved making about 2.5 acres of land it owns north of Baldwin High School available for a community center should voters approve a bond issue in November financing its construction. Dorathy said he told Friend the district would have an interest in exploring such an arrangement should the city agree to move forward on a bond issue.

The Baldwin City Council is reviewing the community center with other proposed building projects in preparation to crafting the city’s 2017 budget, The other projects include a new public works

headquarters, a new police station, expansion of City Hall and a theater at the Lumberyard Arts Center.

Dorathy was less encouraging to Friend about the district being part of any property tax financing of the community center, an arrangement that would capture the district’s tax base, which is larger than that of the city.

Although much is still unknown, the board might be forced to increase property taxes under a school finance plan the Kansas Legislature approved in March that could force the district to rely more on local tax dollars to maintain classroom funding at this year’s level, Dorothy said.

included, such as for districtwide early release days. Language defining the length of the day for high school teachers is already included in the contract, and also adds time before and after class that totals 55 minutes.

Reber told district representatives that the union also intends to propose language at a future meeting that would clarify teacher obligations regarding parent-teacher conferences, particularly for elementary school teachers.

“There seems to be maybe a need for more consistency from one building to the next,” he said.

Monday’s meeting was the third between negotiators. At their meeting April 4, committees made up of union and district representatives recommended adjustments to the schedule of the district’s elementary schools that would lengthen lunch by five minutes and give teachers two more days for planning per year.

Those changes were also reflected in the union’s proposal Monday.

Though teachers’ workload has been one of the

main concerns addressed by the union so far in negotiations, a proposal regarding teacher salaries is forthcoming, Reber told district representatives. Those proposals are planned for future negotiation meetings with the hope that more will be known about the level of state funding the district will receive, Reber explained after the meeting.

Earlier this month, Gov. Sam Brownback signed a school funding equity bill that supporters hope will satisfy the Kansas Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declared parts of the current funding system unconstitutional in February, and said it will close Kansas schools next school year unless lawmakers fix it. Oral arguments in the case are scheduled for May 10.

Teacher and district negotiators have two additional sessions scheduled. The next meeting will be from 5 to 7 p.m.

May 2 at district offices, 110 McDonald Drive.

Larned employees.

Lawmakers’ concerns about both hospitals intensified after the federal government in December decertified Osawatomie over the reported rape of an employee and other safety issues. Nuckolls and Lewis testified about Larned during a meeting of a joint House-Senate oversight committee on social services.

“This has been building up for a long time,” the committee’s chairman, Rep. Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican, told the two Larned employees.

“It’s steadily getting worse and worse and worse.”

Lewis said the forced overtime at Larned makes working conditions there unacceptable, and Nuckolls said exhausted workers are more prone to mistakes — and fear they’ll be fired for making them.

He said many employees, including him, regularly fall asleep at the wheel on their drives home and feel they “are not treated like human beings.”

Both Nuckolls and Lewis are representatives at the Larned hospital of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, a union for government workers.

“It seems the fact that we are people has been

forgotten,” Nuckolls said.

“The fact that we have families and lives outside work isn’t even acknowledged.”

Keck later told the same committee that he’s bothered by such reports.

He said the hospital needs “a change in culture” so that it becomes “a good place to work again.”

Staffing has been a persistent issue at both hospitals. Keck said he’s asking Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget staff to include his spending proposals in recommendations to lawmakers.

The Legislature returns April 27 from its annual spring break to wrap up

its business for the year.

Keck’s proposals include nearly $6 million to cover the federal funds lost through Osawatomie’s decertification, as well as nearly $1.3 million for consultants who are working on regaining certification.

At Larned, mental health technicians would see a 2.5 percent increase in their pay so that they would start at $13.95 an hour.

The Larned hospital’s last permanent superintendent, Tom Kinlen, resigned in March. Keck last week named Chris Mattingly, an Oklahoma City-area hospital management consultant, to run Larned for the

next six months.

Keck said KDADS has for about a month allowed employees who are not direct-care workers to volunteer to work overtime in direct-care positions. Also, he said, KDADS is working with the Department of Corrections to have workers at a prison mental health center on the Larned hospital campus take overtime shifts at the hospital.

KDADS also began transferring 60 prison inmates who were being treated at the hospital back to the corrections facility, so the hospital can shut down two units and free up its staff.

commissioners held a meeting listing changes they’d like to make to the policies, including scaling back the cap on the amount of property tax that the city would rebate a project to 50 percent over 10 years.

Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard said at the time that the action could limit Lawrence’s potential for attracting large-scale manufacturing companies and the jobs that accompany that type of development.

Another proposal was to add a stipulation to the issuance of industrial revenue bonds that, in order to receive them, developers have to prove they could not complete their project otherwise.

It was also suggested the city raise the application fee for incentives; add a special provision to require affordable housing for some deals; and add a policy that provides rules on “payment in lieu of taxes” deals.

The Joint Economic Development Council, Public Incentives Review Committee and Douglas County will discuss the changes and provide

their recommendations.

Then, they will go back to the City Commission for a final decision.

Crum-Cano said she’d like the changes to be decided upon by the end of May. Here’s a rundown of the Lawrence’s incentives disbursements in 2015: l Four Lawrence entities received property tax abatements in 2015: Amarr Garage Doors, Grandstand Sportswear and Glassware, Sunlite Science & Technology and Rock Chalk Park. The city abated $21,182 for Sunlite last year, $99,422 for Grandstand and $28,593 for Amarr.

The abatement for Rock Chalk Park is 100 percent of real property for 10 years. Stoddard said the project does not have to adhere to job or wage requirements because it wasn’t incentivized for job creation. l Six companies had industrial revenue bonds in 2015, giving them a sales tax exemption on construction materials. Those projects were: Bowersock Mills and Power Company’s hydroelectric power plant; manufacturing facility

Prosoco Inc.; Rock Chalk Park; HERE Kansas; the apartment and retail development at the northeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets; and the Dwayne Peaslee Technical Training Center.

The companies saved an estimated total of $907,477 in 2015, $214,610 of which would’ve gone to the city, $36,367 to the county and $656,500 to the state. l Lawrence has seven neighborhood revitalization areas, which contain developments eligible for property tax rebates.

Those eligible for rebate in 2015 were: Eighth and Pennsylvania streets (the Warehouse Arts District); Treanor Architects’ headquarters at 1040 Vermont St.; and the Cider Building, at 810 and 812 Pennsylvania streets.

The Eighth and Pennsylvania area was reimbursed $13,617 in 2015, Treanor Architects headquarters $29,718 and Cider Building $26,370. l Lawrence has three transportation development districts, in which public improvements fronted by the developer are reimbursed through a

1 percent tax on goods or services purchased within the district. Those districts are: Bauer Farms; The Oread hotel; and Ninth and New Hampshire streets, which includes the TownePlace Suites development and the apartment and retail project just north of it.

In 2015, the southern development in the Ninth and New Hampshire district garnered $21,622 in TDD funds. But, the city is keeping the first $850,000 generated in that area as a contribution toward the city-owned parking garage at 10th and New Hampshire streets. Bauer Farms earned $115,851 through its TDD in 2015, and The Oread generated $93,559.

Developers of The Oread have not received the $93,559 because the city has suspended all reimbursements in that district during an ongoing tax dispute. l There are three tax increment financing districts in Lawrence: The Oread hotel; the developments Ninth and New Hampshire streets; and the “Downtown 2000” redevelopment, a block-long district created in 1999 to support the 10th and New

Hampshire parking garage.

TIFs allow projects to receive rebates on sales and property taxes from the city in exchange for public improvements fronted by developers.

The apartment and retail development at 901 New Hampshire St. was reimbursed $28,085 in 2015 through the “Downtown 2000” district. The southern portion of the Ninth and New Hampshire district — the TownPlace Suites hotel development — received $50,786 in sales tax rebates and $22,685 in property tax rebates. The Oread hotel was set to receive $181,009 in sales tax rebates and $270,490 in property tax rebates; however, as previously stated, payments to that district have been suspended. l The city also offered other assistance in 2015 to drive economic development relocation assistance to Integrated Animal Health for its global headquarters and business expansion assistance to Prosoco, among other direct support.

Water woes

Trump contrast benefits Obama

By Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times

The flatness of North Lawrence presents some special challenges when it comes to drainage.

I

t’s a matter of physics that water flows downhill. But in a place as flat as North Lawrence, rain water doesn’t have much incentive to go anywhere so it pretty much stays where it is, soaking into the ground, unless it is directed somewhere else by a ditch or a drainage system.

And that can create some special problems. “We don’t have any hills,” said Ted Boyle, president of the North Lawrence Improvement Association.

“It’s water on a flat surface and it just sits there. Houses are like rocks in a pond; the denser it is, the more prone to flood.”

Tonight, the Lawrence City Commission will consider a request from the NLIA to revisit an action the city took a decade ago to allow residential development on lots that are smaller than normally required. Building residences on small lots, residents say, damages the rural character of their neighborhood and puts more pressure on stormwater management in the area.

The minimum lot size in 2006 was 7,000 square feet, but the city approved a new zoning category for lots that are 3,000 or 5,000 square feet. The hope was that the small lots would provide sites for affordable housing. That’s a good goal, but it apparently had some unintended consequences in North Lawrence, which now would like to see the zoning for 3,000-square-foot lots eliminated. The 5,000-square-foot lots, are fine, Boyle said, but only if the city enforces a limit on how much surface space can be covered and requires a storm water grading plan as part of the project.

The grading plan would help identify and correct drainage issues that could impact neighboring properties, but it also adds between $1,500 and $3,000 to the cost of building a home. Nonetheless, city staff members agree a grading plan should be required.

Interestingly, one of the reasons the city approved the smaller lots in 2006 is that those lots were closer to the lot sizes found in the original plans for the city. Obviously, many things have changed since then. North Lawrence residents still are proud of their neighborhood and what makes it a little different from the rest of the city. Lawrence city commissioners need to take those differences into account and take reasonable steps to address North Lawrence’s water concerns.

President Obama’s standing in the eyes of the American people has recovered after a three-year slump — and that’s good news for Hillary Clinton.

Obama’s job approval rating — the percentage of voters who say he’s doing a decent job — has reached an average of about 50 percent over the last two months.

A 50-50 split may not look like a historic achievement, but it’s a better number than Obama has seen since 2013. And it’s not a mirage; the president’s standing has been on a gradual upswing for the last four months.

That’s been enough to make Obama aides throw their hats in the air, figuratively speaking. “Five points makes a huge difference,” one of them told me last week.

Politicians routinely pretend that they don’t pay attention to the polls, but there’s no question Obama pays attention to his. During his years in the polling wilderness, he often sounded frustrated that he wasn’t getting credit for his accomplishments.

Now, though, Obama sounds more confident that he might be able to end his presidency on a high note. “I feel greatly encouraged,” he told Democrats in Texas last month. “I think when people step back and get some perspective, they’ll say we did good.”

And he sounds eager to campaign for a Democratic successor “who can contin-

“

Obama’s numbers appear to have gone up in large part because the Republican campaign …has reminded many voters why they chose Obama in the first place.” ue the legacy that we built” — especially if it’s Hillary Clinton, who has embraced his record more fervently than Bernie Sanders.

A popular president, even one on the way out, is naturally a bigger asset to his party than an unpopular one. Alan Abramowitz of Emory University has found that when a two-term president leaves office, his party is likely to win the next election if his job approval is over 50 percent, but lose if the number is below 50 percent.

But there’s a quirk inside Obama’s improved poll numbers.

The president and his aides would like to think his standing has improved mostly because Americans have finally recognized that the economy is on the upswing, and acknowledge the president’s role in making that happen. But most of the available evidence doesn’t support that theory. The Gallup Poll’s economic confidence index, a measure of how Americans feel about the economy, is the same now as it was late last year, when the president was less popular.

“There’s no clear correlation with presidential approval,” Democratic pollster Mark Mellman noted.

Instead, Obama’s numbers appear to have gone up in large part because the Republican campaign — in particular, GOP front-runner Donald Trump — has reminded many voters why they chose Obama in the first place.

The public image of the Republican Party has fallen as the president’s has risen. During the last three months, the CNN-ORC poll found that the share of voters with an unfavorable view of the GOP swelled from 50 percent to 61 percent. In the same period, Trump impressed increasing numbers of American voters — in the wrong direction. In the CNN-ORC poll, 67 percent of adults said they had an unfavorable impression of the real estate magnate, the highest negative rating ever recorded for a major party’s presidential candidate.

The Trump hypothesis is bolstered by other surveys showing that much of Obama’s increased support has come from younger voters and Latinos, two groups that have reacted strongly against the Republican front-runner. Both groups are strongly opposed to more restrictive immigration policies, Trump’s signature issue.

Obama has tried quite bluntly to capitalize on the vulnerabilities of the GOP field as he has tuned up his message for the fall campaign.

“I actually think that Don-

ald Trump and Ted Cruz have done us a favor,” he said at a Democratic fundraising event in San Francisco on April 9.

The favor, he explained in Los Angeles, “is laying bare, unvarnished, some of the nonsense that we’ve been dealing with in Congress on a daily basis. People act as if these folks are outliers. But they’re not. … We should thank Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz for just being honest.”

That’s a partisan argument, of course, aimed at rallying Democrats around their president and, eventually, their new nominee.

But that’s what a presidential campaign is mostly about: making sure a party’s voters “come home” and vote for their side — or against the other side, which is just as effective. That’s pretty much what Obama did in 2012, when he succeeded in painting Mitt Romney as a heartless plutocrat.

Obama’s standing is still fragile. He and his aides would feel better if he were over the 50 percent mark.

They know that an economic reversal (which they consider unlikely) or a terrorist attack (entirely possible) could blow a hole in his job approval.

But for the moment, their prospects for securing the Obama legacy with a third Democratic term have been improved — thanks to the unlikely assistance of Donald Trump.

PUBLIC FORUM

Free speech at KU To the editor: The Kansas University administration is working hard to acquire the power to put any faculty member on indefinite “leave without pay” for any reason they can dream up, at any time. Their unending stream of blatant and subtle provisions in their Code of Faculty Conduct rewrites now before the Senate would simply gut what’s left of free speech and academic freedom at KU. The top employment attorney in the state has accordingly advised the faculty not to agree to the administration’s proposed changes and stay under the existing code if the offending provisions are retained.

This topic will be debated over the next two Thursday afternoons in public Senate meetings from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in 203 Green Hall. If this issue concerns you, we ask you to please consider reading more about the subject on the Kansas AAUP Facebook page and joining the few, determined AAUP members in speaking out before yet more irreparable damage is done to this institution we know and love.

was interested the recent article on the potential effects on the city of Amazon’s upcoming warehouse in Logistics Park near the intermodal facility in Edgerton. I’m not sure how it will affect the community, but like most development, I suspect it will be good for some, bad for others.

One statement in the article, however, did catch my eye and I’d like to take exception to it. A local bank president and president of Baldwin City’s Economic Development Corporation said we could expect the city’s population to grow by 3 to 5 percent per year and that growth rate would not change the character of the community. At 5 percent growth, a population will double in about 15 years. At 3 percent it will double in 24 years. I don’t know how long he expects the growth to continue, but I think either of these rates will significantly change the community.

Whether it’s for better or worse will depend on your point of view, but I think any decisions made promoting that kind of growth ought to be made with doubling time in mind.

had no problem finding three. I also take issue with the editor’s negativity on Hillary Clinton, using five pejorative descriptors for her while just listing biographical items about the three less-experienced men.

Hillary Clinton was already wellqualified and experienced to run for president in 2008, and many who voted for Obama assumed she would run again in 2016, especially with her four years as secretary of state solidifying her credentials in international service.

However, the editor seemed to dismiss everything that Hillary has ever done in politics and government, including her work on the Children’s Defense Fund, voter registration in the South, developing a health care initiative as first lady, speaking for women’s rights around the world, serving eight years as a senator from New York, and campaigning for down-ballot Democrats everywhere.

Many women like me have been waiting to vote for a woman president for over 50 years, and we now have our candidate! I can only conclude that most of the males in this country are so afraid of losing control to a strong, intelligent, and powerful woman that they simply trivialize her accomplishments, minimize her abilities, and call her names. “When misogynists resort to name-calling, they’re labeling themselves more than they ever could disprove us.” — Jessica Valenti, The Guardian (4-28-14) Audrey Mortensen, Lawrence

Pentagon offers Iraq firepower from Apache helicopters, a possible key to liberation of Mosul

Obscure PAC in Virgin Islands is one of top spenders Fredreka Schouten and Christopher Schnaars USA TODAY

In less than two years, Sacramento resident Charles Paulsen has written at least 10 checks to a Republican fundraising committee based in the Virgin Islands, but he’s not quite sure what it does or why he keeps giving.

“They got my name probably, and since I was sympathetic to Republicans, I continued, I guess,” Paulsen, 89, said of his repeated donations to VIGOP, a political committee established by the chairman of the Virgin Islands Republican Party. In all, he’s given more than $700 to the group, records show. “I don’t think I’ve ever been to the Virgin Islands. That’s in the Caribbean, isn’t it?”

Donations from hundreds of retirees such as Paulsen have helped make VIGOP, an obscure fundraising committee from the tiny U.S. territory, one of the top-spending political action committees in a constellation of groups tied to Virginia-based political treasurer Scott B. Mackenzie.

Mackenzie, whose spending practices have drawn intense scrutiny in recent years, has served as treasurer of more than 20 PACs at some point in this election cycle.

Three of them, including VIGOP, WASHINGTON

U.S. TURNS SCREWS ON ISLAMIC STATE U.S. ARMY APACHE HELICOPTERS FLY OVER BAGHDAD IN 2007. BY AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Pentagon lets Americans take bigger part in battlefield ops Jim Michaels @jimmichaels USA TODAY

Riding on a string of successes against the Islamic State in Iraq, the Pentagon upped the stakes Monday by loosening restrictions on what U.S. troops can do there and sending more than 200 additional servicemembers to support Iraqi forces as they try to recapture the city of Mosul.

The Pentagon will provide $415 million in aid for Kurdish fighters, called peshmerga, who will play a key role in the effort to retake Iraq’s second-largest city.

It offered to assist Iraqi security forces with U.S. Apache attack helicopters, which excel at providing close fire support to help ground troops engaged in urban combat.

The moves came after President Obama said last week that the Islamic State is on the defensive. The Pentagon touted the recent killings of three of the Islamic State’s top commanders in Iraq and Syria as part of a bigger airstrike campaign that won back more than 40% of the group’s territory in Iraq.

Monday’s measures will allow the U.S. military to assist Iraq’s security forces as they enter a critical phase in the fight against the Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, while adhering to White House demands against sending conventional forces to directly fight the militants.

“It does not change the basic

elements of the strategy, which is that this has to be a fight that is led by local forces with the support and assistance of the United States and our coalition partners,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Under the loosened rules, U.S. advisers could get closer to the battlefield by being embedded with the Iraqi battalion headquarters.

Before, they were limited to remain at higher brigade or division headquarters, which generally meant they were not close to the fighting.

American advisers, under this new authority, could remain with Iraqi units as they advance north and move farther from established bases. Their role as advisers will not change.

“They’re not engaged in direct, on-the-ground combat,” Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Monday.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called the troop increase too small to make a difference.

“This is yet another example of the kind of grudging incrementalism that rarely wins wars but could certainly lose one,” he said in a statement.

The additional 217 troops announced Monday will raise the authorized level to 4,087 from 3,870, though the Pentagon acknowledged the number could go higher when servicemembers are deployed on temporary assignments.

How much territory coalition has won back from ISIL in Iraq

Retaking the sprawling city of Mosul is probably the biggest challenge Iraq’s military has faced since much of its armed forces collapsed when the Islamic State advanced into Iraqi territory two years ago.

The money for the Kurdish peshmerga signals the U.S. confidence in the fighters, who continue to battle the Islamic State as Iraq has struggled to rebuild its military. The money will be disbursed in monthly increments, Davis said.

The semiautonomous Kurds have long been at odds with Iraq’s central government over the disbursement of oil revenue, which declined as oil prices fell. Davis said the money for the Kurds would still go through Iraq’s central government.

The United States made a similar offer of Apache helicopters to Iraq last year during an operation to retake the city of Ramadi, but Iraq declined to use them.

A final assault to clear Mosul, a much larger city, is months away.

As many as 1 million civilians remain in Mosul, and thousands of Islamic State fighters are there.

Before Monday’s announcement, Pentagon officials said they had discussed with Iraq ways to accelerate the offensive to retake Mosul.

“I do expect that there’ll be increased capabilities provided to the Iraqis to set the conditions for their operations in Mosul,” Marine Gen. Joe Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said last month.

150 sightings in the past 18 months @ganjansen USA TODAY

A British Airways jet’s collision with a drone while landing at Heathrow Airport has renewed calls for stricter regulation in the USA, where more than 150 airliners reported close sightings of drones in the past 18 months, including eight in the last two weeks of January.

“This is a real issue,” said Steve

Marks, an aviation lawyer in Miami. “This is a warning for the flying public, airlines and operators that this can’t be ignored any longer.”

The Air Line Pilots Association seeks stricter regulation of drones and their operators to avoid such collisions, which could disable an aircraft if the metal frame and battery of a drone come in contact with an airliner’s engine. The result would be similar to a bird strike, such as the geese that knocked out the engines of a US Airways flight that was forced to land in the Hudson River in 2009.

“There is a reasonable, remote

risk of a plane going down,” Marks said. “It would be irresponsible to ignore that danger.”

The Federal Aviation Administration logged 1,348 reports of drone sightings from Nov. 13, 2014, through Jan. 31, 2016, the latest month available. Many of the incidents involved generalaviation aircraft rather than commercial airliners, but a USA TODAY analysis of the FAA data shows that at least 153 of the drone-related sightings and incidents, or 11%, involved airliners or large cargo planes such as those operated by UPS. In a two-week period in January, the pilots of eight commercial

airliners reported drone sightings, including one in Miami that came within 100 feet of the plane.

The pilot of an Airbus 319 en route from Ecuador on Jan. 30 spotted a white, quad-copter drone about 100 feet above the jet as it approached Miami’s airport at an altitude of 1,700 feet. The same day, an ExpressJet Airlines flight at 19,500 feet, traveling about 50 miles south of Atlanta, reported a drone 300 feet below and to the left of the airliner.

The British Airways Airbus A320 landed safely and was cleared for another flight.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump greets members of the “National Diversity Coalition for Trump,” a day ahead of New York primary Tuesday in New York City.

Endorsement shows Trump’s Upstate appeal N.Y.’s Chris Collins is billionaire’s first backer in Congress Rick Hampson @rickhampson USA TODAY

What did U.S. Rep. Chris Collins, the first member of Congress to endorse Donald Trump for president, see in Trump that most of his Republican House and Senate colleagues did not — and apparently still don’t?

First, he saw himself. “I’m a private sector guy, and so is he,” Collins says. “The next president has to have chief executive experience. … We’re electing a chief executive, not a chief politician.”

Second, he saw someone who knew what to blame for the economic fall of western New York.

“There’s only one solution to the problem,” Collins says. “Fair trade.”

Collins represents the region between Buffalo and Rochester, which has suffered from one of the nation’s biggest industrial declines. But if the U.S. renegotiates advantages enjoyed by Chinese and other foreign companies, he says, “our jobs will come back. Every toaster you use and pair of jeans you wear can be made here again.”

Last year, Collins’ definition of chief executive was expansive NEW YORK

enough for him to support Jeb Bush’s presidential candidacy until the former governor — “Florida’s chief executive,’’ as Collins puts it — dropped out after the South Carolina primary.

Then he endorsed Bush’s archenemy — “a really big leap,” says Kevin Hardwick, an Erie County legislator who supports John Kasich but was a Collins ally when he was county executive.

Most Republicans were surprised. “Either Chris Collins sees something nobody else sees, or everyone else sees something that Chris doesn’t,” Anthony Gioia, a GOP contributor and former U.S. ambassador to Malta, told the Buffalo News.

But Collins is hardly swimming against the political tide. Trump has the support of regional GOP power broker Carl Paladino, the party’s nominee for governor in 2010. Eleven days before Collins’ endorsement, Trump won a GOP Erie County straw poll with 57%.

He’s favored to win the New York primary Tuesday and leads polls in Pennsylvania and other Northeast states with upcoming primaries. Only eight of 246 Republican House members have endorsed the front-runner, but four come from a roughly contiguous area of New York and Pennsylvania that’s suffered from globalization and associated trade agreements.

Collins says he can identify with Trump’s transition from business to politics.

After making a fortune building, reorganizing and managing various companies, in 2007 he was elected executive of Erie County, which has more than 900,000 residents and includes Buffalo and more than 40 of its suburbs.

Collins applied business management principles to government, reduced payroll and held down taxes. He was defeated for re-election in 2011 but won a seat in Congress in 2012.

Collins acknowledges that Trump has been through a “rough patch” in his campaign, including his comment (which he later backed off ) that he favored punishing women who have illegal abortions.

But now, he says, Trump is “pivoting’’ and “transitioning” to focus on general election voters.

He points to signs of Trump’s “evolution” as a candidate: hiring experts in delegation selection; appearing on a town hall meeting with family, which Collins said would “personalize” the blustery tycoon; and admitting, “he’s gotta be more careful with the words.’’

Campaigning, Collins said, “has been a learning experience for Donald Trump.”

“People are fed up with the political speak about free trade,” Collins says. “Now we’re talking about fair trade. They’ve not heard anyone speak that way because it sounds like protectionism. But there’s nothing wrong with Donald Trump saying, ‘America First.’ ”

Hillary Clinton is hoping Tuesday’s New York primary will accomplish what she’s failed to do so far: deliver a crippling blow to Bernie Sanders.

The Empire State has 247 pledged delegates at stake, a haul second only to California, and she’s hoping a victory in the state she once represented in the U.S. Senate will create momentum that sweeps through the next wave of primaries in some northeastern states.

Despite trailing in the delegate math needed to win the nomination, Sanders, a Vermont senator, is still drawing huge crowds and has won seven of the last eight state contests.

On Sunday, he attracted what he described as a record audience of nearly 29,000 in his boyhood borough of Brooklyn.

However, Clinton leads Sanders in New York by double digits, according to most polls.

“For Clinton, anything less than a double-digit margin would be a minor embarrassment. A loss would be a major embarrassment,” said David Wasserman, an elections analyst with the non-partisan Cook Political Report in Washington.

The reality, he said, is that Sanders “hasn’t had a realistic path to victory in the delegate count for over a month.” The New York primary “looks likely to push Sanders even further

into the symbolic/cathartic realm.”

Sanders has said, no matter what, he’ll take the Democratic nomination fight all the way to the convention in Philadelphia in July. On Tuesday night, he’s moving on to campaign in Pennsylvania, which votes April 26.

Clinton now has 1,289 pledged delegates to Sanders’ 1,045, according to the Associated Press.

When including superdelegates, who are elected officials and party leaders who can back any candidate, Clinton’s lead is 1,758 to Sanders’ 1,076. It takes 2,383 to win.

Despite her lead, Clinton is leaving nothing to chance.

She’s betting on a large African-American turnout to buffer her lead in Manhattan and surrounding areas, while trying to neutralize Sanders’ appeal in the whiter upstate region by emphasizing her efforts as a U.S. senator on jobs and economic development.

“I’m always nervous before every election,” Clinton told 77 WABC radio. “I hope to do really well here in New York.”

Sanders had wanted a real showdown in New York — predicting, after winning in Wisconsin, that he could win New York, a state Clinton represented for eight years in the Senate.

Unlike in Michigan, whereSanders caught Clinton off guard amid polls showing her in the lead, New York is a closed primary. That means the independent voters who’ve carried Sanders in other contests cannot participate. In 2008, Clinton beat then-senator Barack Obama by 17 points in New York.

Funds funneled to more fundraising v CONTINUED FROM 1B

have collected more than $1 million for the 2016 election. In each case, more than half their contributions larger than $200 came from retirees.

A large share of the donations these groups took in went to fund operating expenses instead of direct contributions to Republican candidates. In the case of VIGOP, more than half of its contributions went to Forth Right, a direct mail firm with ties to Mackenzie, and other firms that share its offices.

Sheila Krumholz, who examines political spending as head of the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, called Mackenzie an “outlier” in the world of federal elections. Her tally of about 1,200 PACs that are aligned with Democrats or Republicans or other ideological groups shows that, on average, 26% of what they take in is spent on political contributions.

“Mackenzie is giving virtually zero percent in campaign contributions for his biggest committees,” she said. “He’s in a different league because he has a slew of these (PACs). People think they are giving to these various operations, but there’s a whole lot of self-dealing going on behind the scenes in terms of the vendors that he uses.”

In an interview, Mackenzie defended his practices, saying the PACs’ operating costs are high because “it’s expensive to fundraise.”

Both he and John Canegata, chairman of the Virgin Islands Republican Party, said the committee is not preying on the elderly. “The older generation remembers how great this country was and knows it can be great again, and that’s why they are giving their money,” Mackenzie said. “They hate what

they see going on now.”

VIGOP’s operations have been the source of considerable friction between Canegata and several other officials in the local party. The infighting has gained more attention in recent weeks as Canegata and other party officers tussle over which delegates to send to the Republican National Convention.

Many of the elderly donors to VIGOP are repeat givers, even if they don’t give large amounts.

A USA TODAY review found 16 people had donated at least 20 times to VIGOP through the end of February. Fifteen were retirees, who gave a total of $28,027 to VIGOP. Canegata said the committee has had three complaints in a fouryear period from the children of people who received the committee’s fundraising solicitations. He

said party officials complied with the requests to remove their names from its mailing list.

Debbie Carrico of Buckhannon, W.Va., said she got help from the West Virginia attorney general’s office to strike her father’s name from VIGOP’s mailing list in 2014 after he received multiple pleas for money from a “Stop Hillary Now” PAC. The fine print showed it was a “project of VIGOP.” Carrico said she spent a year and a half working to remove her father, Dorse Gillum, from hundreds of mailing lists and resorted to complaints with West Virginia authorities when she couldn’t find phone numbers for the companies or political operations responsible for the mailings.

Gillum does not appear as a donor in VIGOP’s filings, and Carrico said she doesn’t know whether he

ever contributed to the group.

She said she was eager to help her father, 89, escape from the piles of junk mail inundating his home. Gillum received 30 to 50 pieces of mail each day, Carrico said.

Some groups masked their solicitations as political surveys that carried a reminder at the end “not to forget your $17 donation,” Carrico said. “It just made my blood boil.”

Candidates themselves have taken aim at these groups with mixed results.

Virginia’s Republican former attorney general Ken Cuccinelli filed a civil lawsuit in federal court against a group called Conservative StrikeForce PAC, Mackenzie and several others affiliated with the group. The Conservative StrikeForce sent out solicitations promising to support Cuccinelli’s bid for governor, but only $10,000 “of approximately $2.2 million” raised by the group went to his campaign, he said.

Cuccinelli reached a settlement last year in which Conservative StrikeForce agreed to pay $85,000 to Cuccinelli’s campaign and to surrender its email and direct mail lists to him.

Mackenzie cast Cuccinelli as a sore loser. “We tried to help him in his governor’s race, and when he lost, he decided to strike out at the people he felt didn’t help him enough,” Mackenzie said.

“Then why did you concede we were right in this lawsuit?” Cuccinelli said. “Their defense was ‘free speech,’ but you don’t have the freedom to go tell little old ladies that if they give you $50, you are going to do ‘X’ with it and then not do it. You don’t have a First Amendment right of free speech to bilk them out of money.”

Brazil in turmoil as impeachment goes forward Shannon Sims and Alaine Ball Special for USA TODAY

STEVE GONZALES, HOUSTON CHRONICLE, VIA AP

A rescue boat approaches Greens Bayou in Houston on Monday. Storms left more than a foot of rain in some areas.

Five die as ‘historic rainfall’ swamps Houston region Doyle Rice

@usatodayweather USA TODAY

Drenching rain, which brought flash floods to much of eastern and southern Texas on Sunday and Monday, deluged Houston, killing five and leading to scores of water rescues.

Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said two people died in a vehicle that ignored barricades at a freeway underpass. He said traffic cameras recorded the vehicle going around the blockade and heading into the water.

Two deaths reported earlier Monday include one man found inside a truck that drove into high water on a freeway service road.

Harris County Precinct Sgt. Herbert Martinez said crews monitoring the high water saw the man in the 18-wheeler truck drive di-

rectly into the water. He said it’s possible the driver may have suffered a medical emergency.

Another man, identified only as a contractor working for the city’s airport, was found dead in a submerged vehicle not far from Houston Intercontinental Airport.

In Waller County, west of Houston, the Royal Independent School District confirmed Monday evening that teacher Charles Odum died in rising floodwaters.

Monday was one of the rainiest single days ever recorded in Houston: nearly 10 inches of rain reported at the city’s official weather observing location at the airport as of midafternoon.

Hundreds of homes and many major roads were flooded out in the community, forcing schools, governments and businesses to close and causing power outages for thousands of residents.

Many areas reported more than

Nearly 900 water rescues were performed in the city of Houston alone and 1,222 total in the metro area.

The National Weather Service called it a “historic rainfall event.”

The city opened several emer-

gency shelters throughout the region, AccuWeather reported.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner called the flooding “unprecedented” in the city.

Seven bayous were over their banks in Houston, Turner said.

The weather service warned residents to stay out of the floodwater, noting the risk of drowning along with potential encounters with “chemicals, ants and snakes.”

Parts of Harris County and nearby communities saw rates of 2 to 4 inches of rain per hour.

Hundreds of flights at Houston airports were canceled or delayed.

Several school districts and many government buildings in the Houston area were closed Monday.

In Austin, flash flood watches and warnings were issued, some until Tuesday morning.

Some parts of North, Central and South Texas could see 3 to 8 inches of rain.

JERUSALEM BUS EXPLOSION INJURES AT LEAST 21

VA HASN'T FIXED WAIT-TIME PROBLEMS, GAO FINDS

A bus exploded Monday in an industrial zone in southern Jerusalem, wounding 21, police said.

Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident was caused by an explosive device. He said two people on board the bus that exploded were seriously wounded, while the other wounded people had been in a nearby bus and car that also were damaged.

“Since we know there was an explosive device that exploded on a bus, there is no doubt that it was a terror attack,” said Yoram Halevy, chief of the Jerusalem District Police.

The blast then ripped through a second bus next to it, causing both buses to catch on fire, the station said. — Michele Chabin

The Department of Veterans Affairs has not done enough to prevent schedulers from manipulating appointment wait times, and wait-time data remain misleading and underestimate how long veterans wait for care, according to a non-partisan watchdog report released Monday.

“Ongoing scheduling problems continue to affect the reliability of wait-time data,” the Government Accountability Office found.

The GAO said the VA has taken a “piecemeal approach” to addressing the problems since the wait-time scandal broke in 2014 in Phoenix, where schedulers falsified wait times, and at least 40 veterans died awaiting care. But the agency needs to take comprehensive action, the GAO concluded in its audit, which stretched from January 2015 through last month.

Auditors found schedulers at three of the six medical centers they reviewed had improperly changed dates so the VA system falsely showed shorter or zero wait times.

DEATH TOLL FROM ECUADOR QUAKE RISES TO 350

Emergency workers in Ecuador urgently dug through heaps of rubble Monday looking for survivors of the monstrous earthquake that killed hundreds, collapsed buildings and ravaged the Andean nation’s already brittle infrastructure.

Ecuador Security Minister Cesar Navas said the death toll had risen to 350.

The magnitude-7.8 temblor struck Saturday night; its epicenter was the fishing village of Muisne.

SÃO PAULO Impeachment proceedings against Brazil’s embattled President Dilma Rousseff now move to the Senate, which could vote to remove the leader from office and throw the country into further turmoil before it hosts the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazil’s lower house of Congress voted 367-137 late Sunday for impeachment — well more than the 342 votes needed to approve the measure.

The vote was a tense, wild ride, with lawmakers fighting and AFP/GETTY IMAGES throwing confetti as the tally President Rousseff proceeded.

The Senate vote is expected in May. If a majority votes to proceed with a trial, Rousseff would be suspended from office while Vice President Michel Temer, 75, temporarily takes over. Local nemedia report that 45 of the 81 senators have said they will vote to hold the impeachment trial, the Associated Press reported.

Rousseff faces impeachment over allegations that she misappropriated funds from public banks to shore up government finances as she faced re-election in 2014. She denies the allegations.

At a news conference Monday, Rousseff said she would not step down, the AP reported. “I have the energy, strength and courage to confront this injustice.”

Bryan McCann, a professor at Georgetown University, called the vote a farce.

“Impeaching Dilma Rousseff is not a step toward eliminating corruption. This allows corrupt members of Congress to cover their tracks in a show of repudiating an unpopular president.”

WASHINGTON President Obama’s effort to offer temporary protection from deportation to more than 4 million undocumented immigrants ran into opposition from conservative justices on the Supreme Court Monday, but the outcome of the case remained unclear.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy didn’t give much ground on whether Texas has the right to sue the federal government and whether the president has the authority to go around Congress.

“What we’re doing is defining the limits of discretion” for who the government can and cannot deport, Kennedy told U.S. Solicitor General Donald Verrilli. “And it seems to me that that is a legislative, not an executive, act.”

The court’s more liberal justices said Obama’s deferred-action program merely tells

Activist Omar Martinez attends a rally in front of the Supreme Court on Monday. undocumented immigrants who qualify that “you will not be deported unless we change our minds,” Justice Elena Kagan said.

The immigration battle was waged on two fronts before the court: The Obama administration fought with Texas and 25 other states, as well as with the House of Representatives, which previously blocked the president’s effort to confer legal status to some of the nation’s more than 11 million illegal immigrants.

Much of the debate before the eight-member court, shorthanded since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February, focused

on whether the program would grant undocumented immigrants “lawful presence” — a phrase used by the federal government but which Verrilli insisted has no meaning in immigration law.

“That phrase, ‘lawful presence,’ has caused a terrible amount of confusion in this case,” Verrilli said. “We are not trying to change anybody’s legal status.”

Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito didn’t buy that explanation.

“How is it possible to lawfully work in the United States without lawfully being in the United States?” Alito asked.

The case could be decided on more narrow grounds: whether Texas even has the right to sue, based on its prediction that it would have to spend money issuing driver’s licenses to hundreds of thousands of immigrants who receive the three-year reprieve from possible deportation.

Obama announced the “Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents,” or DAPA program, in November 2014. It would extend protections to more than 4 million parents who meet the criteria, just as a 2012 program did for immigrants brought to the USA as children.

Wall Street shrugs off price plunge after lack of agreement in Doha Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

No deal in Doha from major oil producers this weekend to cap crude production pushed oil prices down Monday, but stocks shrugged off the negative news in the energy patch as Wall Street kicked off the week that will be dominated by earnings reports from 20% of companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

A hoped-for deal to cap oil production didn’t happen Sunday, as MONEYLINE PEPSI BEATS EARNINGS ESTIMATES FOR Q1 PepsiCo surprised investors Monday with a first-quarter earnings report that came in above expectations, though sales fell, impacted by the company’s overseas business. PepsiCo made $931 million in the quarter ended March 19, a 24% decline compared to earnings of $1.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. Still, the maker of brands including Pepsi and Lays potato chips said earnings per share came to 64 cents — or 89 cents adjusting for one-time costs — that beat analyst estimates for earnings per share of 81 cents, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.

MORGAN STANLEY PROFITS DROP IN FIRST QUARTER Morgan Stanley’s profit plummeted in the first three months of 2016 amid global concerns about stagnating economies, falling oil prices and other economic uncertainties. The investment banking firm on Monday reported net income of $1.1 billion or 55 cents per share vs. a $2.4 billion profit, or $1.18 per share for that same quarter last year. But while the results were down sharply from a year earlier, they came in above lowered expectations.

NORDSTROM ELIMINATING UP TO 400 JOBS Nordstrom will eliminate up to 400 jobs in pursuit of a leaner business model and about $60 million in cost savings, the retailer said Monday. Affected positions will primarily be from the company’s corporate office and regional support teams, and the changes are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter.

AIRBNB IN TALKS TO ALLY ON $15 MINIMUM WAGE Airbnb is in final talks with the Services Employees International Union over an agreement to encourage hosts of the shortterm rental company to use unionized cleaners who are paid at least $15 an hour, the company said. Under the agreement, Airbnb would endorse SEIU’s national campaign for a $15 minimum wage.

Saudi Arabia was unwilling to strike a deal unless Iran was part of it. The lack of a deal took down prices of U.S.-produced crude, ending the day down 1.4% at $39.78 a barrel after plunging more than 7% earlier. Oil prices have rallied more than 50% since their lows in February amid hopes of a deal getting done in a world still awash with oil.

The hit to the U.S. stock market was brief. The Dow Jones industrial average, which was down about 50 points at the open of trading, quickly turned higher and ended the day up 107 points, or 0.6%, at 18,004, closing above 18,000 for the first time since July 20, 2015. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index was up 0.7% to 2094, threatening

to top 2100 for the first time since Dec. 2. The Nasdaq composite index rose 0.4% to 4960.

Energy stocks, hit hard in premarket trading, also rebounded.

Vanguard’s Energy ETF (VDE) turned positive and was up 1.6% after being down 2.5% minutes before the opening bell.

While Wall Street was hoping for a deal, the hit to stocks was only temporary as some of the over-production issues have been dealt with already due to the steep drop in oil prices earlier this year, which forced out some producers and lessened some of the supply-demand imbalances.

The stock market’s ability to shrug off the lack of a deal to cap oil production is a sign that oil may no longer have a strangle-

hold on market sentiment.

What’s more, it is a sign that stock investors see better days ahead and remain convinced that the stabilization in oil prices will stick as normal market forces adjust to the oil supply glut.

“The oil market is responding to stabilizing forces and the supply/demand imbalance is gradually curing; time and economic forces work,” David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors told USA TODAY. “It also seems like markets are saying that the outlook for earnings and the economy will improve.”

It’s likely that earnings will emerge as the key driver of stock prices this week, as 102 of the 500 companies in the S&P 500 report first-quarter results.

YAHOO BID PROCESS HELPS NARROW FIELD Barring a surprise or two, shakeout leaves Verizon as likely winner Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

The bidding process for Yahoo’s Web assets has shaken out some interested parties, leaving Verizon as one of the front-runners and making the value of its patent portfolio a wild card in the complicated, multiplayer process of breaking up Yahoo.

As ever with Yahoo’s next steps, there could still be surprises in store. Monday, YP Holdings, the digital successor to the Yellow Pages, emerged as a bidder, according to Bloomberg.

The digital advertising and search company, which has 70 million users monthly, is submitting a merger proposal as part of Yahoo’s first-round bid process, which ended Monday. YP declined to comment on the report.

Meanwhile, many of the expected dozens of companies thought to be potential bidders have fallen by the wayside with AT&T, Comcast, Alphabet (the parent company of Google) and IAC/Interactive, the Web media company chaired by Barry Diller, excusing themselves from the process, according to The Wall Street Journal, which cited persons familiar with the situation.

Alibaba and Time Inc., didn’t bid, according to two people not authorized to speak on behalf of each company.

Yahoo declined to comment, as did AT&T and Microsoft, while others did not respond to inquiries from USA TODAY. The bidding process has been complicated by Yahoo’s apparent reluctance to share key financial data beyond this year. The company has offered dreary business projections for just 2016.

Verizon, which also declined to comment on the bidding process, had publicly announced interest in the troubled Web conglomer-

ate even before the official bidding process began. Yahoo’s advertising technology and its content such as Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Sports could mesh well with Verizon, which is ramping up its mobile video service, analysts say. The bids come as Yahoo bows to pressure to engage with buyers for its core assets.

Despite acquisitions and a strategic overhaul by CEO Marissa Mayer, Yahoo sales are sinking and its market share is losing ground. It reports earnings after the bell Tuesday. Analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence expect revenue of $846.8 million and adjusted earnings per share of 7 cents, significantly shy of the $1.04 billion and 15 cents reported in the same quarter a year ago.

GETTY IMAGES

Yahoo President and CEO Marissa Mayer has been under fire.

Yahoo’s fragile financial state has prompted a sell-off of its assets amid mounting doubts over Mayer’s stewardship since she took over as CEO in July 2012.

Although Yahoo has maintained a large audience upwards of 1 billion online, eMarketer predicts Yahoo’s worldwide ad revenue will plunge 14% this year to $2.83 billion as it continues to lose market share to Google and Facebook.

Yahoo’s technology patents could truly interest Verizon, says Eric Jackson, managing director of investment firm SpringOwl, which is a Yahoo shareholder and has acted as an activist to push Yahoo to change its management and reduce headcount.

Yahoo shares were up 0.03% Monday to $36.52.

Shop at CVS without ever leaving your car Drugstore chain to offer curbside pickup Nathan Bomey @NathanBomey USA TODAY

You may never need to walk into a CVS store again — and that’s just fine with the drugstore chain.

The retailer plans to announce Tuesday that it will allow customers to order most items using a mobile app and get their order delivered to their vehicle when they drive up to the store. The idea puts a new twist on drivethru businesses — whether it has been banks, dry cleaners and, of course, myriad fast-food chains.

The service, dubbed CVS Express, was built on a mobile plat-

form in partnership with Palo Alto, Calif.-based start-up Curbside, founded by the same entrepreneurs behind Apple’s Find Your iPhone app. CVS also invested an undisclosed amount in Curbside.

The curbside pickup service, integrated into the main CVS smartphone app, will come without any price markups, and CVS is promising to get orders ready within “about an hour.”

CVS Express represents a new offering in the battle for customers in a get-in-now culture with same-day-delivery services on the rise. For example, it reflects a response to Internet giant Amazon’s encroachment on the territory typically owned by convenience stores, such as beauty products, baby goods and groceries.

CVS stores in California, North

JORGE BARDINA

Customers will be able to order items from an app.

Carolina and Georgia will offer the service immediately, followed by most of the retailer’s 7,900 stand-alone U.S. locations by the end of the year. Urban locations without easy vehicle access are unlikely to get the service.

There are a few caveats. Prescription drugs must still be sold in store or through a separate drive-thru window. And about

75% of the average CVS store’s retail products will be available for order through the service.

CVS Pharmacy President Helena Foulkes said that in test markets, repeat business was high.

“We think this is an answer for people who are looking for convenience and know and trust us,” Foulkes said.

There are a few hurdles for CVS, the nation’s largest drugstore chain. For starters, Foulkes acknowledged that the CVS Express service will not be linked to the in-store inventory system. So employees who fulfill orders won’t discover that items are out of stock until they walk through the aisle. Foulkes said that currently customers will be notified by text when they’ve ordered an item that’s not available, offered a substitute item or provided their order without the item.

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

Big news in the small-cap space. The small-company Russell 2000 did something Monday that it hasn’t done since last August: It closed above its average price over the past 200 trading days, a sign that a long downtrend might be nearing an end.

The small-cap index also moved back into positive territory for the year Monday. Smallcompany stocks had been the biggest losers in an early-year slide and was one stock index that did fall more than 20% from its peak of 1295.80 (26.4% to be exact) and officially fell into a bear market. But after Monday’s gain of nearly 0.7% to 1139, the smallstock index has rallied more than 19% from its low and is back

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

above its so-called 200-day moving average after 167 days below that key level, the fourth-longest stretch of that nature ever, according to Bespoke Investment Group. From a big-picture perspective, stocks are considered in an uptrend when an index is trading above its average price level over the past 200 days.

Following the three longer stretches below the 200-day average, which ended after long, bad stretches for stocks in 1982, 2003 and 2009, the Russell 2000 posted median gains of 1.6% one week later, 6.8% a month later, 24.1% three months later and 37.7% six months later, Bespoke said.

“Whether 2016 is a repeat of those years is unknowable, but the Russell 2000 has clearly put the issue of its consistent underperformance that it started out the year with behind it,” Bespoke concluded in its report.

Toymaker has seen best days, analysts say

Q: Is Hasbro stock played out?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hasbro is a big winner from Disney’s run of popular properties. But analysts think the toymaker’s stock is overheating and could be frozen.

It was a solid first quarter for Hasbro, as the company Monday reported 81% higher adjusted profit of 38 cents a share. That topped expectations by 58%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says.

Revenue also beat forecasts by jumping 16% to $831 million for the quarter.

The company’s Disney-licensed products are big winners. Hasbro’s girls’ business unit revenue rose 41% to $165.4 million largely due to strong performance of Disney Princess-branded toys and those tied to Disney’s Frozen franchise. The boys’ business unit is still twice the size of girls’ unit but was a slower grower at 24%. The boys’ unit got a boost from Disney’s Star Wars toys.

Analysts see growth continuing, calling for adjusted profit to rise 11% in fiscal 2016, S&P Global says.

Despite all this positive news and the continued strength of Disney-licensed toys, analysts think this stock is played out. Shares of Hasbro have jumped more than 10% over the past 12 months. The stock gained almost 6% Monday on earnings to $87.18. The problem is analysts think the stock is only worth $80.08 in 18 months, S&P Global says.

Netflix shares plummet on subscriber growth forecast Mike Snider @mikesnider USA TODAY

Netflix shares dove late Monday after an outlook in its quarterly financial report indicated an ongoing price hike is likely to cool user growth. Netflix shares dropped 10% in aftermarket trading to $98.50, extending a 3% loss in Monday’s regular session.

The streaming video provider expects to add less than half as many subscribers as it did during the first quarter, about 2.5 million, with one-fifth from the U.S.

CEO Reed Hastings

NETFLIX

and the rest globally.

“A modest effect from the beginning of the un-grandfathering” and tougher international growth comparisons leads to the lowered forecast for the second

quarter, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said in a letter to shareholders.

Next month, many Netflix members — possibly as many as 17 million, according to USB Investment Bank — will begin seeing a $2 monthly increase to its most popular subscription plan, upping their monthly bill to $9.99. Netflix announced the increase two years ago and had grandfathered long-term customers with the lower price. That increase will help Netflix increase its spending on content from $5 billion this year to $6 billion next year, Hastings said.

The outlook on subscribers, the most important metric for investors given the stock’s 300% rise in the past three years, overshadowed results for the first three months of the year.

Netflix earnings surpassed Wall Street’s earnings expectations, and it added more subscribers than expected. Revenue slightly missed expectations.

UBS estimates that 3% to 4% of U.S. subscribers — or about 500,000 — could leave the Net TV service over the next six months.

The Net TV company reported revenue of $1.96 billion and 6 cents a share in earnings, barely

missing the consensus estimate of $1.97 billion in revenue, but surpassing the 3 cents a share in earnings from analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Netflix had forecast revenue of $1.966 billion, up 25% from the same period last year.

Netflix’s subscriber growth in January through March was 6.7 million new subscribers — to a total of 81.5 million — beating its own forecast of an addition of 6.1 million net subscribers. More than 4 million came from outside the U.S., a benefit of Netflix’s expansion this year into 130 additional countries.

BAD DAY ‘CASTLE’ FANS Two major players are leaving ABC’s ‘Castle.’ On Monday, the network confirmed the exit of Stana Katic, who plays Detective Kate Beckett, and Tamala Jones, who plays medical examiner Lanie Parish. The series is still awaiting renewal for its ninth season.

THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES “I think it’s a fun thing to sort of imagine. I like imagining it, but I haven’t really heard anybody saying anything actually serious about that happening.”

FILMMAGIC — Michelle Williams to the ‘Today’ show on the possibility of a ‘Dawson’s Creek’ reunion IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

As heroes go, The Night Manager’s Jonathan Pine shows up on the complicated end of the spectrum.

The graveyard-shift luxury hotel manager (Tom Hiddleston) exists on the obscure fringes until a tragic loss persuades him to risk everything to thwart charismatic but despicable international arms merchant Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie). The six-episode miniseries (AMC, Tuesday, 10 p.m. ET/PT) is based on a 1993 novel by John le Carré, an executive producer.

After a series of period-piece roles, Hiddleston liked the idea of playing a contemporary man who changes his identity to enter an elite, extralegal world in a story with political resonance. Pine, who must gain Roper’s trust while maneuvering around his chief of staff, Major Corkoran (Tom Hollander), “was a thrilling prospect, mysterious, elegant, refined.

His particular blend of Englishness and edge was something I found exciting.”

Hiddleston sees Pine, who works with tenacious British intelligence officer Angela Burr (Olivia Colman), as an emblematic le Carré character. “His heroes are all haunted by doubt and moral ambivalence, by an awareness of the hypocrisy of doing bad things for the greater good,” he

John le Carré’s heroes “are all haunted by ... an awareness of the hypocrisy of doing bad things for the greater good. In spite of their heroic action, their spirits are unquiet.”

Tom Hiddleston

says. “In spite of their heroic action, their spirits are unquiet.”

Laurie, who wanted to play Pine at the time the book was published, is a fan of the novel, citing Manager’s understanding of a

murky world hidden from most.

“I imagined that with the end of the Cold War, not only would spies be out of work, but spy writers would be out of work. And, instantly, I saw he’d found a greater adversary” in Roper, Laurie says.

The Panama Papers, an investigative-journalism project revealing shell companies operated by some of the world’s wealthiest people, underlines the author’s prescience regarding Roper, a worldly criminal who jaunts with his beautiful mistress (Elizabeth Debicki) between Swiss ski resorts and Majorcan beaches with no concern for the

law, Laurie says.

“It’s a weird fraternity of rich and powerful people,” Laurie says.

“Roper would be a platinum member of that particular club.”

The novel gets a contemporary makeover, as Pine’s military service was in Iraq, not Belfast; his hotel work places him in Cairo during 2011’s Arab Spring; Roper has a major arms deal with Middle Eastern operators rather than a Colombian drug cartel; and Burr is now a woman.

“It’s a truer reflection. There are a lot of spies who are women.

In 2016, (making) one of the decision-making characters a woman makes sense,” Colman says.

Colman, who was pregnant during filming, says that’s “a perfectly normal occurrence. Spies don’t get sterilized.”

Any changes in adapting the book from the miniseries don’t obscure the author’s passionate belief in Pine’s cause.

“Le Carré’s anger with Richard Roper is righteous, and his support of Pine and Burr’s mission is deeply romantic,” Hiddleston says.

Although Hiddleston enjoyed playing the character, it doesn’t sound as if he envisions a sequel: “We’ve reached the end of the novel. I don’t want to count my chickens on whether The Night Manager has a further life.”

‘Containment’ lacks that infectious energy Another apocalypse is brewing on TV, but do we really care?

Contain your enthusiasm.

Yes, apocalyptic visions are popular on TV these days, from zombie armies to alien invasions to the TV PREVIEW bioweapon epidemic ROBERT at the heart of CW’s BIANCO Containment (Tuesday, 9 p.m. ET/PT, eeg out of four). Yet the very popularity of the theme is what makes Containment — as welldone as it is at times — both too familiar and too tiring. And like so many stories on TV these days, too long.

At movie length, Containment might make a fair claim on our attention. But stretched out over multiple episodes, with the threat of more seasons of seemingly inevitable, bloody-death-by-disease to follow? The very thought of it is exhausting.

Adapted by The Vampire Diaries’ Julie Plec from a Belgian TV series, Containment is set in Atlanta and immediately throws us into a city in crisis, with a nervous police force trying to control a fenced-in, panicked population.

Then, as is too often the case

BOB MAHONEY, CW

In Containment, a deadly epidemic splits Atlanta into infected and uninfected sections, separating friends and family. these days, we back away from the present and flash back to an Atlanta doctor who seems to have a bad case of the flu.

Does she ever. Soon she’s oozing and shooting blood, and the cops are on the hunt for the man they think infected her. The bad news is the disease is deadly and incurable.

The sort-of good news is it spreads only through contact, leading CDC doctor Sabine Lommers (Claudia Black) to set up a quarantine area

around the hospital.

That splits the city, and the story, in two. On the uninfected side of the fence, you have Lommers and Lex Carnahan (David Gyasi), the upright cop she has chosen to be the face of her enforcement efforts — along with Containment’s most tired character, the unscrupulous reporter (Trevor St. John).

On the other side of the fence, you have most of the main char-

acters, including Lex’s girlfriend Jana (Christina Moses) and best friend Jake (Chris Wood). There’s also a lovely teacher (Kristen Gutoskie), who will become a love interest for Jake, and a pregnant teenager (Hanna Mangan Lawrence), who may be hiding an infectious secret. There may even be a solution to the mystery of who created the disease and how it can be stopped.

The opening episodes certainly do a good job of establishing the horror of the situation, from the ugliness of the disease to the fear it causes. And other than the sometimes excessive use of spewing bodily fluids, it maintains a low-key sense of realism: For these opening hours, at least, you’ll believe the epidemic could happen and how it might play out if it did.

But in TV, realism isn’t everything. Although Containment may be convincing, it isn’t particularly compelling, because the characters seldom register as anything other than pawns — most of them sacrificial. It will certainly make you hope their tragedy never happens to you, but it might not make you care whether it happens to them.

And that kind of failure is hard to contain.

Babies, Chiefs and KU hoops can all hurt your hearing

No child left behind

Where decibels spike every day and how to protect your ears

By Aynsley Anderson Sosinski Lawrence Memorial Hospital

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

Like so many other medical issues, prevention is key to protecting our hearing. But how can we prevent hearing damage if we don’t know the factors that cause it in the first place?

It’s common knowledge that frequently listening to music that’s too loud or being around a lot of loud, heavy machinery is bad for our ears, but some parts of our everyday lives — including our medications — can cause hearing damage without us realizing it.

Otolaryngologist Dr. Leo Martinez, of Lawrence Otolaryngology Associates, explained that very loud and intense one-time sounds, such as an explosion, can damage hearing, as can longer-term exposure to noise.

That longer-term exposure can include things such as wireless headphones or amplifiers to listen to the TV, Martinez said. Oftentimes, people who already suffer from hearing damage will purchase wireless headsets so they can listen to the TV at a volume that is clear to them without blasting the rest of the family out of the room.

“That can cause serious issues if they have those up too loud, and the noise is going directly into the ears,” he said.

Similarly, Martinez tells patients to utilize hearing protection when they’re using equipment for yard work, such as a lawnmower or string trimmer.

“Once you have a little bit of hearing loss, even just a little bit more is a big difference in your understanding of speech,” he said. “... So I always tell people to protect their hearing when they do yard work like that.”

Lawrence and Kansas City sports fans also hold some bragging rights in the noise department, but that might not necessarily be a good thing for our hearing. The NCAA named Allen Fieldhouse the loudest arena in college basketball in December 2013. Curtis Marsh, director of Kansas University’s new DeBruce Center, said he believes the record in Allen Fieldhouse is 118 decibels, and he has “regularly seen the loud-o-meter hit 116.”

T-coils needed to make use of hearing loops

By Mackenzie Clark Twitter: @mclark_ljw

Some buildings in Lawrence now have hearing loop technology installed in auditoriums and meeting rooms. Those include Theatre Lawrence, the Lawrence City Commission meeting room and the under-construction Open Pavilion at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

This technology, which consists of copper wire running through the whole room, allows hearing aid users to “tune in” so the sound is amplified, rather than just getting jumbled in surrounding background noise.

However, Laura Schmidtberger, hearing instrument specialist with Southwestern Hearing Centers of Lawrence, said not all hearing aids are created equal. If you don’t ask, there’s a chance you won’t get the features that best suit your needs — such as the telecoil, aka T-coil, which is the little copper coil inside some hearing aid models that allows the user to pick up the sound from hearing loops.

“Unfortunately in our state system, audiologists aren’t required to discuss those T-coil options, and they don’t always come automatically when you buy hearing aids,” Schmidtberger said. “So if somebody doesn’t know to ask for one, Please see T-COILS, page 2C

Saturday in Lawrence promises to be a day of fun and learning about healthy foods for families and individuals.

The second annual Nutrition Carnivale will provide children and adults alike opportunities to learn more about healthy eating in a fun and carnival-like atmosphere. The Carnivale will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. This event is one from an ongoing collaborative programming partnership between Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the Lawrence Public Library.

This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever. Back by popular demand will be aerialists and acrobats from the Last Carnival Circus School in Lawrence.

These young athletes will be showing off their high (and low) flying moves in the library lobby and atrium.

Other fun (and perhaps unusual) activities taking place include a carnival cuisine recipe contest, where entrants have been asked to remake typical carnival food offerings into healthier versions, food fortunes and a freaky food show.

The library’s annual Edible Books Festival also will take place during the Carnivale.

Get creative and make an edible work of art based on the form, title or content of a book. This too is a fun family activity. Those interested can register as an individual or a team by calling 785-843-3833 by 5 p.m. Friday.

Many community partners also are participating again this year in Nutrition Carnivale. The USD 497, Hy-Vee and Lawrence Memorial Hospital Registered Dietitians; the LawrenceDouglas County Health Department; K-State Research and Extension Services; The Merc; Sprouts Farmers Market; t.Loft; the KU Pediatric Health Insight Team; United Way-AmeriCorps; and volunteers from several groups will provide interactive nutrition and fitness education activities for kids ages 4 through 12 years.

Each child will be given a passport to visit the various activities. Once the passport is full with stamps, participants can return to the registration table for a small prize.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (healthychildren.org) notes that parents Please see LIBRARY, page 2C

the hearing loss,” Martinez said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

In September 2014, Arrowhead Stadium set the Guinness World Record for the loudest crowd roar at a sports stadium (outdoors) at 142.2 decibels. That’s approximately equivalent to a jet engine at takeoff. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, sound levels above 110 decibels can cause permanent hearing loss with regular exposure of more than one minute.

Martinez said to “absolutely” wear earplugs to games, concerts or other excessively loud events.

Additionally, a study conducted at Eastern Kentucky University and published in the Journal of Evidence-Informed Social Work last year found that the cry of a child can reach between 90 and 120 decibels, and highly recommended that caregivers of excessively crying or colicky children wear earplugs.

It’s not just noise Laura Schmidtberger, a hearing instrument specialist with Southwestern Hearing Centers in Lawrence, said although noise is a major factor in hearing loss, some medications can also contribute to hearing damage.

Ototoxic medications can include some antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs, which have been known to cause permanent hearing damage, according to the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association. Some pain relievers, such as aspirin, and loop diuretics have been known to cause temporary damage to the hearing, as well.

“A lot of people don’t (know about that

or they don’t understand the benefits of it, then sometimes when they buy it they won’t get one, so they’ll really be missing out.”

Hearing aids come in many varieties and have a lot of different features available. Schmidtberger said she tests for about 24 different pitches, and hearing aids are programmed to know whether to raise high or low pitches — or both — based on a patient’s specific needs.

The features of a hearing aid may also vary depending on your level of hearing damage, Schmidtberger said. For that reason, she encourages people to

possibility), especially with older populations,” Schmidtberger said.

Colds and allergies can also cause temporary hearing loss, Martinez said. He said parts of our ears make mucous to clean themselves out, the same way our noses do. If the backs of our noses are severely clogged, that mucous can get trapped, and the excess fluid prevents the eardrum from vibrating as well as it normally would.

For clogged ears, Martinez recommends taking an antihistamine medication or using a nasal steroid spray (in your nose, not your ear).

You only get one pair Martinez explained that sound waves travel down your ear canal and hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate, which then induces the middle-ear bones to vibrate. Those bones hit the inner ear, a fluid-filled cavity that contains thousands of tiny hair cells, he said.

“It turns the vibration into a chemical signal that the brain gets, so over time, if the noise is very loud or if you’re having a long-term exposure to very high, loud noises, those hair cells don’t vibrate as easily, and that causes people to have typical what we call sensorineural hearing loss,” Martinez said.

And once the damage is done, it’s done.

Schmidtberger said those little hair cells don’t grow back, and there’s no repairing the loss.

“There isn’t any magic pill or treatment that’s going to reverse

get their hearing checked as soon as they believe they may have a problem.

“Hearing aids only give you what you have left,” she said, “so if you have a mild hearing loss you’re going to receive a lot more benefits from the hearing aid because you have a lot of your hearing left, and if you wait and you have a severe hearing loss and I only have 30 percent of your nerves to work with, then I can only give you back a little bit.”

So the less damage is done generally means the more affordable the hearing aid will be.

“If I don’t have to give you something that has all these bells and whistles and additional microphones and speakers, then it can save you money,” Schmidtberger said.

To understand what

Lines of defense Martinez said there are two main options to protect your hearing.

The first are little foam earplugs you can buy at most stores, fairly cheap. He said for casual use, such as during a one-night-only event, they should suffice.

However, for people such as musicians who are around the noise consistently, he recommends a second option: custom-made earplugs molded to fit your ear canal perfectly.

He also mentioned noise-canceling headphones, which he said he has heard work fairly well, but he would recommend using earplugs along with them in order to best protect your hearing.

Once damage is done Although you can’t turn back the clock or undo what’s been done, Martinez said hearing loss needs to be treated because it can lead to other medical problems.

“If you feel like you’re having difficulty understanding people in social interactions with a lot of background noise, people tend to shy away from being socially active because of their hearing loss,” he said. “... That can cause depression, and so forth.”

Schmidtberger said she wants people to know that hearing issues impact others, as well.

“It’ll make socializing with your family and your friends a lot easier and a lot more fun if you can communicate with them properly,” she said. “... Keep in mind that you’re not alone; (treating your hearing loss is) something that your whole family is truly going to appreciate and benefit from.”

later in life,” Nestler said. “It’s easier to help educate someone about positive parenting skills rather than help someone undo negative ones. It’s about prevention versus intervention.”

Three years ago, Nestler started a Young Parents Group because she knew it was a need among the young parents she worked with. She said they felt isolated because they no longer connected with their high school and college friends who did not have children.

They also didn’t feel like they fit in with parents who were older. The Wards were among them.

“We were excited to finally find a group we could connect with,” Amber said.

Nestler continues to facilitate the Young Parents Group, which meets twice a month in the Health Department’s clinic waiting room. It is open to Douglas County parents who are 25 and younger. Amber describes the meeting as a “big playdate,” where the parents talk while their children play.

Nestler said parenting is the toughest job that exists, especially for those who have additional stress in their lives. “There’s something special about being able to be there to support them and to try and help them accomplish their goals. It’s truly an honor,” she said.

are the most powerful teachers of healthy living practices such as eating nutritiously and exercising. With 1 in every 6 children in the United States being obese (data from cdc.gov), engaging kids in fun and healthy food learning experiences is more important than ever.

Attending an event like Nutrition Carnivale together as a family is one way to do this. Other suggestions include shopping, cooking and eating healthy meals together and growing a garden that involves the entire family’s participation.

While you are at the library, stop by the LMH Health Spot where you can get helpful health and wellness information; take your blood pressure; and

view health and wellness topic information displays that change monthly. In addition, the Lawrence Public Library offers an experienced reference librarian to assist you with your health research, as well as monthly health topic programming. Visit lawrence. lib.ks.us for a listing of these.

After Nutrition Carnivale, families can go to South Park at 11th and Massachusetts streets to attend the annual Earth Day Festival, where more even information about nutrition and fitness such as family and school gardens and cycling will be shared.

But you can certainly say to the woman (with sincere concern), “You know, there are probably a lot of germs on that floor. I’m worried that you might pick up something awful, or step on a loose staple. You ought to protect your feet by wearing slippers.” It can’t hurt to try.

Don’t miss ‘The Night Manager’ The best new series since “The People vs. O.J. Simpson,” “The Night Manager” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14) premieres tonight.

A six-part U.K. adaptation of a John le Carre espionage drama, “Manager” offers stellar performances and a gripping tale of intrigue, infiltration, loyalty and betrayal.

The story begins during the Arab Spring of 2011, when hotel night manager and former soldier Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston) receives some chilling information linking flamboyant international businessman Richard Onslow Roper (Hugh Laurie) with illegal arms trafficking.

The story sends him to one posh locale after another as a spy inside Roper’s inner circle. He reports to rogue intelligence operative Angela Burr (Olivia Colman, “Broadchurch”) who strives to keep their work below the radar of the MI6 or CIA, who may be too friendly with their prey.

Tom Hollander (“In the Loop”) has the great role of Roper’s chief of staff, Major Corkoran.

“Corky” suspects (correctly) that Pine may not be what he seems. Corky is especially close to Roper’s troubled and gorgeous younger girlfriend, Jed (Elizabeth Debicki). The fact that he’s gay makes him safe around the boss’s “property.” The tension between Jed and Pine is much more combustible.

At the risk of sounding shallow, it’s far preferable to follow a thriller when the scenery and the principals are this pleasant to look at. Too many good series, like “The Killing” and Sundance’s recent “Last Panthers,” seem to emphasize their seriousness by forcing viewers to endure dreadful weather, sullen characters and grim locales. “Night Manager” is smart and rewarding. And something to behold.

O “Containment” (8 p.m., CW, TV-14) departs from the vampire and comic-book fare that dominates the CW schedule. Gritty and grownup, with real emotional stakes, it follows an overlapping group of police, doctors, civilians and their loved ones during the outbreak of a deadly virus in Atlanta.

Not unlike “The Walking Dead,” it asks us to identify with three-dimensional characters in a scenario that careens from unthinkable to apocalyptic in no time. And as on that zombie series, no character is entirely immune.

O Filmed over four years, “Children of Syria” on “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check local listings) follows four children from the ruins of Aleppo to life as refugees in Germany.

Tonight’s other highlights

O Jess has a haunting dream on

spinal cord injury caused me to go from a very active young woman to a paraplegic. Now I finally know the “rules” for that handicapped stall in public restrooms, and want others to know, as well.

I used to wonder if it was like the handicapped parking space that ablebodied people aren’t supposed to use for any reason. Before my injury, I didn’t think twice about using the handicapped stall if no one there needed it and the others were taken. In fact, I’d use it even when other stalls were available, simply because it was so spacious.

So let me tell you, yes, it is to be treated just like a handicapped parking space and should be reserved solely for those who need it, even if every other stall is occupied. Because my nervous system is damaged, I don’t have a lot of time between when I recog-

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, April 19: This year you open up to a new perspective. You might be tenuous as to how you use this new vision.

If you decide to maintain the status quo, you will often reflect on the fact that you could create more.

Many of you could opt to travel or go back to school. If single, you might meet someone offbeat if you haven’t already. If attached, the two of you find the more you grow, the better your relationship becomes.

Your ability to embrace your significant other’s negative and positive traits highlights your relationship.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++ You have been more assertive than usual, but for a brief moment today you’ll mellow out. Tonight: Get to the bottom of a problem.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You feel a difference in your energy. Perhaps you have pushed beyond your prior limits.

Tonight: Be easygoing.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You will sense that something or someone is working against you behind the scenes.

Tonight: Do only what you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++ Stay close to home, and understand your limits. Prioritize your goals for the near future.

Tonight: Out late.

nize the need to go and actually going. And since I now move very slowly, every second counts. My legs are extremely weak and I really need the grab bars in the handicapped stall. I am counting on that handicapped stall being empty when I get to the restroom.

Not everyone who needs that stall is as obvious as I am. Just because no ticket is issued when an able-bodied person uses the handicapped stall, please don’t do it. It’s a matter of consideration.

Dear Annie: I have a different problem with people taking off their shoes. I work in a small office where we have outside visitors. One woman who works here takes off her shoes and walks around barefoot.

I think this is totally disgusting, as well as unprofessional.

The managers in the office see this, but must not mind because nothing is said. I have been trying to ignore it, but it’s such odd behavior that I’m simply baffled.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Mr. Consistent

Mason’s sophomore, junior seasons remarkably similar

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GUARD FRANK MASON III (0) ELEVATES TO THE BUCKET past UConn guard Sterling Gibbs (4) during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 73-61 win Saturday, March 19, 2016 at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa.

The speculation from most fans and observers regarding Kansas University guard Frank Mason throughout the 2015-16 KU men’s basketball season was that some kind of nagging injury might have been bothering him during various portions of the Jayhawks’ run to a 33-5 record and trip to the Elite Eight.

There certainly were times when Mason, a junior from Petersburg, Virginia, looked a little off of his game and did not play at the same level that he had during his stellar sophomore season.

Mason, like the consistently solid player he has proven to be, always found a way to contribute and, more importantly, always bounced back from those rough stretches, but it seemed to me and most of the people I talked to about Mason throughout the season that he was not playing at quite the same level as a junior as he did as a sophomore.

With the season now in the past and my curiosity racing, I checked out Mason’s stats from both seasons to see how they compared.

The result? It turns out Mason is way more consistent than I even realized.

In the 25 statistical categories kept every season for each player, Mason stayed the same or improved in 20 of them.

The entire lot will be outlined a little later, but, for now, let’s focus on the five categories in which he took a step backwards.

• FG percentage — Ma-

behind the three-point line as a sophomore and dipped to a .381 three-point shooter his junior season. As mentioned above, the 15 more attempts (again, remember the two extra games) was a big factor for the lower percentage and it’s interesting to note that Mason made mtait@ljworld.com just one more three-pointer (43) as a junior than he did son shot .434 as a junior, as a sophomore (42). In fact, seven-tenths of a percentMason either tied or missed age point lower than his .441 tying by one in seven of average as a sophomore. the 25 statistical categories: The interesting thing about Games started (all), minutes this stat, however, is that per game (33.5), three-point Mason both took and made makes (43-42), turnovers more shots during his junior (73-74), steals (50) and season, with the higher blocks (3-4). number of attempts creating • Free throw percentthe slightly lower shooting age — As was the case with his three-point shooting, a percentage. It’s also worth noting here that Mason, who higher volume of free throws led to a lower percentage played in and started every for Mason, who shot .739 as game during the past two seasons, received the benefit a junior compared to .786 as a sophomore. That .739 clip of two more games as a junior because the Jayhawks came in 44 more free throw advanced two rounds farther attempts and Mason made 26 more free throws in 2015-16 in the NCAA Tournament. than he did during the 2014So keep that in mind when 15 season. Again, you have to reading these stats.

The reason I tossed it into • Personal fouls — Mason the “got worse” category, fouled a whopping 19 more though, was because the times during the 2015-16 higher volume of threepoint attempts led to Mason season, hacking opponents 84 times compared to just shooting a worse percent65 the previous season. age.

Corbett bounces back from Tommy John surgery The three words that put the most fear into baseball players: Tommy John surgery. Coaches wince at the sound of it. For players, it means the end of a season and about a calendar year of grueling rehab.

Free State High senior infielder Mikey Corbett doesn’t fit the profile for players who usually require surgery.

Typically, Tommy John surgery is reserved for hardthrowing pitchers who continue to throw year-round.

With more and more players specializing in one sport, it only adds to the number of surgeries. Tommy John surgery is ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction, which replaces the

elbow ligament that essentially holds the upper and lower arm together with a tendon from elsewhere in the body.

Corbett doesn’t throw 90 mph. In fact, he didn’t throw a single pitch for the Firebirds last season. And he didn’t play baseball yearround. During the winter, he was a point guard in Free State’s basketball program.

He admits he started playing with pain in his arm during his sophomore year — “I took way too much ibuprofen than I probably should have,” he said — but last July, a little more than a month after helping the Firebirds win a Class 6A state title, Corbett felt a pop in his elbow and his summer of playing baseball was over.

“I just threw it to second

and I felt like almost a bubble-wrap pop on the inside of my elbow and I just threw the ball into right field,” Corbett recalled. “I was like, ‘Maybe I’m not warm yet.

I feel kind of weird.’ After that, I’d just throw it as hard as I could and it would only go about 60 feet. It would just bounce. I was really confused.”

When Corbett talked with his doctors leading up to the surgery, there was no guarantee he would step on the field this season. Usually players need a full year to recover and Corbett only had eight months.

He moved from shortstop to second base to make it easier on his arm, and because he likely won’t play in college, “what’s a little bit of

ATSEDE BAYSA, OF ETHIOPIA, CROSSES THE FINISH LINE TO WIN the women’s division of the Boston Marathon on Monday in Boston. before chasing down Tirfi Tsegaye on Beacon Street in Brookline, two miles from the finish line. The two-time Chicago Marathon champion won by 44 seconds in 2:29:19.

Joyce Chepkirui was third — the lone Kenyan to medal.

Most of the top Americans, including 2014 winner Meb Keflezighi, skipped the race after running in the U.S. Olympic trials in February. Other countries pick their Olympic teams by committee, and the performances in Boston could help Monday’s top finishers earn a ticket to Rio de Janeiro.

“This is a major marathon,” Baysa said through an interpreter. “We don’t know what they are thinking, but we are confident they will select me.”

Zachary Hine of Dallas was the top U.S. man, finishing 10th.

Neely Spence Gracey, of Superior, Colo., was the first American woman to finish, coming in ninth.

Gracey was born into marathoning: Her father was the No.

2 American in Boston in 1989; the next year she was born on race day while he was running.

She and Sarah Crouch, of Blowing Rock, N.C, were among the leaders through the first seven miles before falling behind.

“The energy was spectacular,” said Gracey, who ran against Crouch in college. “We were commenting back and forth saying: ‘Wow! We are leading the Boston Marathon.

We need to take this in and relish the moment.’”

On a clear day with a slight headwind, cool temperatures at the start warmed to 62 degrees by the time the winners reached the Back Bay. It warmed further as the day went on — an added challenge for the 27,491 runners who left Hopkinton in four waves on Monday morning.

Fifty years after Bobbi Gibb sneaked onto the course and became the first woman to finish the race, more than 14,000 women were in the field that made the 26.2-mile trek to Copley Square,

where a commemorative logo greeted them at the finish. Gibb served as the grand marshal this year, riding down Boylston in a sports car before breaking a ceremonial finish-line tape.

Defending women’s champion Caroline Rotich was among the first to fall out, dropping away from the leaders at a water station about 5 miles in and walking to the side of the road.

Baysa, 29, also fell out of the lead but never stopped running.

She was out of the picture as the women’s leaders ran through Heartbreak Hill, but soon after the TV cameras picked up a bobbing yellow figure running along the side of the road. As she gained, it was clear that she had saved enough energy for the winning kick.

Lawrence finishers: Jennifer Kongs, 3:25:38, female 18-39, 770th place, 5,709th overall; Jerry Hill, 3:39:58, male 50-54, 752nd place, 8,867th overall.

Also ran: Josh Baden, Nicolas Shump.

Boston (ap) — The Ethiopians ran past the Kenyans on their way to the Boston Marathon finish line Monday and nearly swept them off the victory podium.

Lemi Berhanu Hayle won the 120th edition of the men’s race, and Atsede Baysa overcame a 37-second deficit on the women’s side for Ethiopia’s firstever sweep of the world’s most prestigious marathon.

Hayle finished in 2 hours, 12 minutes, 45 seconds to beat defending champion Lelisa Desisa by 47 seconds. Yemane Tsegay was an additional 30 seconds back to round out an all-Ethiopian top three.

“In sports, sometimes that happens. But not always,” said Desisa, who also won the 2013 race. “It is the performance on the day.”

Kenya had dominated the Boston Marathon since the professional era began in 1986, winning the men’s race 14 straight times from 1991-2004 and 20 out of 22 before Desisa earned the first of his two victories three years ago.

But the Kenyans have been beset with doping problems.

The World Anti-Doping Agency put the country’s athletics program on probation after more than 40 athletes tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs since the 2012 Olympics, including three-time Boston winner Rita Jeptoo.

Instead, it was its East African neighbor that had its anthem played over Copley Square — twice. Ethiopia claimed its sixth title in the men’s race — including three of the last four — to go with six more in the distaff division.

Hayle pulled away from Desisa as they crossed over the Massachusetts Turnpike heading into Kenmore Square.

He tapped his chest as he ran down Boylston Street, held his arms out to bask in the cheers of the crowd and then, after crossing the finish line, did a celebratory skip-jump.

Baysa trailed by 37 seconds at the 35-kilometer checkpoint

is that Mason, injured or not, was at least as productive as a junior as he was during his sophomore season.

In fact, even his pointsper-game average was nearly identical — 12.9 ppg as a junior and 12.6 ppg as a sophomore.

A couple of reasons it

Colorado and Vermont) have implemented mandatory pitch count limits with required days of rest. USA baseball, along with Major League Baseball, recommends a limit of 105 pitches in one day for a 17-18 year old, and four days of rest if a pitcher exceeds 76 pitches.

The Kansas High School Athletic Association has encouraged all teams to input pitch counts into a database this season, which tracks pitches thrown, innings and days of rest in between appearances. It likely will lead to additional limits next year if national rules aren’t implemented.

At the moment, Kansas (like most states) has an innings limit. Pitchers can throw nine innings in one day and 12 innings over a 48-hour period.

“When I started coaching,” Free State coach Mike Hill said, “it was, ‘How do you feel? I feel good. OK, go get them.’

We just didn’t understand as a coaching community — and medical community, frankly — what we were dealing with. Now we do. Naturally there are modifications that we need to make as coaches to try to keep the kids healthy.”

Hill serves on the national high school baseball rules committee and is passionate about the subject. He tells his players to take at least three or four months to rest their arms during the offseason. Lawrence coach Brad Stoll outlines the same offseason timeline for his team.

But Hill and Stoll both worry about the toll on a pitcher’s arm during

youth baseball, when they’re potentially throwing multiple times during a weekend tournament.

“Doctors, trainers and everybody will tell you it’s usually stuff that they’ve done as a kid or coming up before they get to you is what the problems are and wherew the damage has been done,” Stoll said.

Corbett didn’t pitch in high school, but he did when he was younger, and he believes that contributed to eventual pop in his elbow last summer.

“Even those throws at football tailgates or just going to play catch on a nice winter day,” Corbett said. “It seems like you’re dedicating a lot of time and, ‘Oh man, he really loves baseball,’ which I do. But if you really love baseball, it’s taking that time off.”

Kirkpatrick pitched two innings in Lawrence’s first game this season. He texted Stoll the next day, telling him that his arm felt fine and Stoll said it was “pretty emotional” watching Kirkpatrick pitch, especially after seeing Kirkpatrick do so much to avoid surgery.

For Corbett, his surgery served as a reminder to his teammates to ice their arms after throwing and to get proper rest.

And he hopes it will do the same for others.

“It’s something that I wish I would’ve taken better care of,” Corbett said. “But looking back, I hope that my injury can serve as a testament to younger kids that you need to take time off.

That’s just something that I didn’t do as much.

Going back I would do it a lot more now.”

arm pain if I can get through it?”

“Right now I’m throwing every other day,” said Corbett, who has started every game this year, batting leadoff. “I manage as I go. If I have tough days, I just kind of stop.

It makes me appreciate it a lot more, stepping back from the game. It’s almost a realize what you have when it’s gone. But it’s really cool being out here.”

Corbett is a rare case because he’s not the prototypical baseball player who needs the surgery.

But he’s far from the only one. Lawrence High senior Parker Kirkpatrick missed all of his junior season after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

In recent years, former LHS pitcher Bryce Montes de Oca missed his junior season because of the surgery and former Free State pitcher J.D. Prochaska underwent surgery when he played in junior college.

At an American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine meeting in July 2015, one study presented from Rush University in Chicago found 56.7 percent of Tommy John surgeries are performed for 15-19 year olds.

Kirkpatrick, who did play year-round, did his best to avoid the surgery after he felt a pop during the summer before his junior year. He tried platelet-rich plasma injections.

Twice, he tried to rest his arm for an eight-week stretch, hoping the rest would help his arm heal.

FREE STATE JUNIOR MIKEY CORBETT BACKHANDS a hard-hit ball on Friday, May 29, 2015, at Hoglund Ballpark. Less than two months later, Corbett underwent Tommy John surgery.

Instead, Kirkpatrick went under the knife on March 20, 2015 and in his attempt to avoid surgery, he missed two summer seasons and his junior year of high school baseball.

“It was pretty tough,” Kirkpatrick said. “But I was just trying to do whatever I could last year to help the guys out — being a good teammate.”

Similar to concussions in football and other sports, there’s a heightened awareness around baseball to prevent Tommy John surgeries among kids.

Second Kansas Blast underway

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Monday marked the start of the second incarnation of a recruiting phenomenon known as the Kansas Blast for the Kansas University football program.

With spring football in the books and a long list of desired targets in the 2017 recruiting class warranting a little attention, several KU coaches hit the road on Monday with the goal of visiting as many high school football programs in Kansas as possible.

The David Beaty initiative resembles the same trailblazing effort the KU coaching staff went through a season ago.

Even though the effort only produced one Kansan in the 2016 signing class — Free State High standout Bryce Torneden — Beaty talked then about the importance of landing in-state talent and appears to be making it a priority once again.

“We worked our tails off at it with a bunch of guys in state,” Beaty said last February. “You know what, didn’t work out. I’ll tell you this, we were in it with a lot of guys. I think we made guys take pause and think that probably normally wouldn’t have.

That’s a step forward.”

The next step, which officially began Monday, is to land more Kansas players. However, Beaty

made sure to caution both at the conclusion of last year’s Blast and throughout his time as the head coach at Kansas that, as much as they’d like to keep as many athletes home as possible, that is not the end-all-be-all goal.

“Listen, we’re trying to win the Big 12,” Beaty said. “You can’t do that with just signing guys that are from a certain place. You got to go sign Big 12 football players.

We are working diligently to get that done here in our own state.”

Using the hashtag #KansasBlast, several KU assistant coaches Tweeted about their progress on Monday, with water towers around the state and photos of the schools they visited being the most popular subjects of their Tweets.

Despite the fact that last year’s Blast did more to lay the groundwork for the future than pay off immediately, Beaty was thrilled with the results and made it clear then that it would continued well into the future.

“One high school coach at a time,” Beaty said.

“That only continues to build when you feed into it and you continue to make them true relationships. We’ll continue to do that. We just got to prove to (the Kansas athletes) that it’s worth staying at (home) because this is their university.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cubs’ Lackey dazzling The Associated Press

National League Cubs 5, Cardinals 0 St. Louis — John Lackey struck out 11 in seven innings of four-hit ball against his former team and had an RBI single, leading Chicago over St. Louis on Monday night.

Jayson Heyward, playing at Busch Stadium for the first time since leaving to sign with Chicago, was 0 for 4 at the plate, made two nice catches in right field and was booed throughout.

Dexter Fowler homered for the second time in three days for the Cubs, a major leaguebest 10-3 and off to their best start since 1970. Chicago has won 15 of its last 16 regular-season road games, going 6-1 this year.

Fowler homered in the sixth, and shortstop Aledmys Diaz misplayed a potential double-grounder in the Cubs’ three-run seventh, throwing the ball wildly for an error as a run scored. Addison Russell had a sacrifice fly and Lackey, who entered with a .111 career batting average, singled for a 4-0 lead and his seventh RBI in 129 career at-bats.

Mike Leake (0-2) allowed four runs — three earned — and six hits in seven innings in his St. Louis debut. At the plate, he botched a squeeze bunt in the fifth, although Kolten Wong scrambled back to third safely to Lackey’s ire.

Lackey (3-0) struck out cleanup hitter Brandon Moss three times, and fanned leadoff man Matt Carpenter and No. 5 hitter Stephen Piscotty twice each. The 11 strikeouts, one shy of his career high, was his 20th doubledigit strikeout game.

Lackey was 13-10 with a career-best 2.77 ERA with St. Louis last year.

Mets 5, Phillies 2 Philadelphia — David Wright homered twice for his first two RBIs this season, and New York went deep four times to back a stellar Noah Syndergaard in a victory over Philadelphia.

Lucas Duda and Neil Walker hit consecutive homers in the eighth inning for New York, which has 11 homers in its last four games after hitting two in its first eight. The power surge has helped the defending NL champions win four of five following a four-game skid that produced a 2-5 start.

Syndergaard (2-0) struck out eight in seven innings and threw 17 of his 94 pitches at least 100 mph. He allowed one run and five hits with two walks while bringing his strikeout total to 29 through three starts.

Jerad Eickhoff (1-2) tossed seven strong innings for Philadelphia, giving up two runs and five hits with nine strikeouts and two walks.

Mavericks 85, Thunder 84 Oklahoma City — The Thunder thought they had stolen one.

The home fans were celebrating, streamers were falling onto the court and Oklahoma City appeared to have taken a 2-0 lead in its series against the Dallas Mavericks, despite a shaky overall performance.

In the end, Dallas escaped.

A putback at the buzzer

by Oklahoma City’s Steven Adams that would have won the game was disallowed upon review, and the Mavericks defeated the Thunder on Monday night to even their Western Conference playoff series at one win apiece.

Dallas had been embarrassed, 108-70, in the opener on Saturday, but the Mavericks bounced back and held Oklahoma City to 33.7 percent shooting on Monday.

“I’m very proud of our guys and the way they responded after one of the most disappointing games in franchise history,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. “It’s a group with a lot of pride, and obviously, a lot of resilience.”

In the postgame news conference after the Game 1 loss, Carlisle defiantly stated that the loss was not significant, and that it was just one game. His team bought it, and, even goes home for Thursday night’s Game 3 with a chance to take the lead in the series.

Raymond Felton had 21 points and 11 rebounds and Dirk Nowitzki added 17 points for the Mavericks.

Deron Williams, declared doubtful on Sunday with a left abdominal strain, scored 13 points for Dallas, 11 in the game’s first five minutes.

“This wouldn’t be possible if Deron Williams hadn’t given it a shot,” Carlisle said. “He got us off to a good solid start — actually better than a solid start, he got us off to a very good start.”

Kevin Durant scored 21 points for Oklahoma City, but he made just 7 of 33 shots in the worst postseason shooting performance, both by percentage and number of misses, of his career.

Durant’s 26 misses were the most he’s had in 716 career games, including the regular-season and playoffs.

The Mavericks said they did a good job of being physical with Durant and disrupting his rhythm.

Dallas led 85-84 with 7.1 seconds left when Felton missed two free throws. Durant got the rebound of the second, but his shot to try to win the game was blocked by Justin Anderson. Russell Westbrook rebounded and missed, then Adams rebounded Westbrook’s miss and made a basket, but the ball was in his hand as time expired.

Raptors, 98, Pacers 87 Toronto — Jonas Valanciunas had 23 points and 15 rebounds, Kyle Lowry had 18 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, and Toronto beat Indiana, snapping its postseason losing streak at seven games.

Corey Joseph scored 16 points, Patrick Patterson added 14 and DeMar DeRozan had 10 as the Raptors evened the firstround series at 1-1.

Paul George scored 28 points and Monta Ellis had 15 for the Pacers, who host Game 3 on Thursday night.

Lowry and DeRozan both struggled with their shooting in Saturday’s Game 1 loss, combining to make eight of 32 attempts.

Neither was particularly sharp in this one, with Lowry making four of 13 and DeRozan making five of 18.

Lowry still found a way to make an impact by turning provider. He had five assists in the first quarter.

DeRozan, however, never seemed to find his rhythm and spent the fourth quarter on the bench as Lowry and Toronto’s reserves pulled away from the Pacers.

Valanciunas scored 13 points in the first quarter and added six rebounds as Toronto used a 19-3 run to lead 27-16 after one. George picked up his second foul with 4:34 left in the first and had to sit.

Kansas Relays adds Thursday night, off-site pole vault competition

By Tom Keegan Twitter: @TomKeeganLJW

The huge success of the Downtown Shot Put has inspired an offshoot event for this week’s Kansas Relays, which open Wednesday morning and conclude Saturday night.

The pole vault is moving off site for the first time this year, a brainchild of Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger, according to meet director Milan Donley. The parking lot outside of the Salty Iguana (southwest corner of Sixth and Wakarusa) will be turned into a pole vault runway and pit for the event scheduled to take place at 5:30 p.m.

Thursday.

“I’m excited about it,” Donley said. “At the same time, I’m a bit apprehensive about it. The only thing that worries me about the pole vault is wet weather can stop it. It can become dangerous. They can lose their grip on the pole. The pole can slip out of the box.

And when these guys are trying to go over 18 feet, you can’t have that kind of risk.”

It’s Donley’s job to worry about such things, which is why he keeps such close track of weather forecasts. Thursday’s weather.com forecast calls for a 20-percent chance of rain, so there is an 80-percent chance Donley’s worries will be for naught. There is a zero-percent chance of rain Friday (high of 78) and Saturday (high of 83). The highest chance of rain (80 percent) is for Wednesday.

Donley’s source of excitement about the event

from how well street pole vaults have been received in Europe for decades.

“People buy tables, the restaurants serve food and it becomes pretty festive,” he said. “The people watch from their tables along the runway and the people can sit and eat and drink and watch the pole vault at ground level. When you’re looking up, 18 feet looks even higher.”

The event will feature a crowd favorite.

Former Kansas University vaulter Jordan Scott, NCAA outdoor champion in 2010, 2013 USA Indoor champion, and seven-time Big 12 champ, is in the field. So is Jack Whitt, 2012 NCAA outdoor champion for Oral Roberts. Carlo Peach of Germany also has a shot at winning the exhibition.

Downtown Shot Put The shot put again will have a field packed with world-class performers is scheduled for 6 p.m. Friday at its usual location, 8th and Vermont. The sunny forecast generally means a huge crowd of spectators who watch the event, mingle with competitors, stick around to listen to live music (Brody Buster band) and then fill up the downtown restaurants and bars.

The field for the sixthannual shot put has been expanded from eight to 10 and includes eight throwers ranked among the top 20 in the world.

The throwers and their current world rankings: 3. O’Dayne Richards of Jamaica; 5. Reese Hoffa; 6. Jordan Clarke; 7. Ryan Whiting; 8. Christian Cantwell; 9. Tim Nedow of Canada; 13. Jon Jones;

16. Darrell Hill; 31t. Cory Martin and Kurt Roberts.

Richards, Clarke, Jones and Hill are making their first appearances in the Lawrence Downtown Shot Put. The other six are veterans of the popular event.

Hoffa, the 2012 winner, and Whiting, the winner in 2013, are seeking their second titles in the Lawrence Downtown Shot Put. Christian Cantwell, winner the past two years, seeks his third.

Every winning throw has surpassed 70 feet, so the pressure is not only to win, but to keep that streak alive.

KU part of quadrangular meet For the second year in a row, in addition to the high school meet and open college meet, the Kansas Relays will include a scoring quadrangular meet featuring KU. Colorado, Nebraska and Rice will compete with KU for the team title. Most of the event finals take place Saturday afternoon and night.

For the quad events, only competitors from those schools will be competing. Last year, because the forecast for the final day was so bad, the meet was shortened by a day and competitors from the quad and open meets shared the track for races.

That won’t be the case this year, which should make it easier for spectators to know the significance of runners passing others.

Saturday’s busy schedule at Rock Chalk Park starts with high school events (10:30 a.m. to 3:10 p.m.). From 4 p.m. through 8:06 p.m. the

open college meet and quad meet will take turns in each event.

Kansas standouts, past and present Current KU competitors worth watching include: Whitney Adams: She stands just 5-feet tall but moves her strides so swiftly she came within .01 seconds of tying the school record in the 800 meters two weeks ago.

The 800 final is at 6:24 p.m. Saturday. She also will compete in the 4x400 at 7:53 p.m.

Casey Bowen: An AllAmerican and two-time Big 12 pole vault champion, he can be seen high in the air at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Rock Chalk Park.

Mitch Cooper: Throwing the discus at 4 p.m.

Saturday, Cooper is trying to earn a spot on the Australian Olympic team.

Daina Levy: She has a personal best of 69.02 meters in the hammer throw, an event in which she will compete at 3 p.m.

Friday. If Levy can throw 71 meters, the Olympic AStandard, by July she likely will represent Jamaica in the Olympic Games.

Sharon Lokedi: Fresh off setting the school record in the 10,000 meters, Lokedi will run half that distance at 7:09 p.m. Saturday.

Strymar Livingston: He will try to top the Rock Chalk Park 800-meter record of 1:50.54 he set last year in winning the KU Relays in a race that begins at 6:33 p.m. Saturday.

Former Jayhawks scheduled to compete include Paris Daniels, Diamond Dixon, Mason Finley and Michael Stigler.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

KU coaches meet with Thornton

SCOREBOARD NHL Playoffs

NBA Defensive

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Needing to reload on the perimeter for the 2017-18 season, Bill Self is recruiting one transfer who played for a basketball blueblood last season.

ESPN reports that Kansas University coach Self and assistant Jerrance Howard on Monday met with 6-foot-2 freshman point guard Derryck Thornton, who recently announced plans to leave Duke University after one season.

Originally from Chatsworth, Calif., Thornton — who played two years of high school ball at Findlay Prep in Nevada — averaged 7.1 points and 2.6 assists while logging 26 minutes a game in Duke’s 36 games. He hit 39 percent of his shots, including 32.5 percent of his threes and 69 percent of his free throws. He had 93 assists versus 59 turnovers with 27 steals.

USC has been listed as a possibility for Thornton, who in announcing plans to transfer, said he wanted to play closer to home.

He will be able to practice, but not play in games next season and have three years of eligibility left starting in 2017-18 when KU will have lost Frank

Mason III to graduation, Josh Jackson to the NBA and possibly Svi Mykhailiuk and Devonté Graham to the pros as well.

KU hopes to land prep guards Trae Young and Michael Porter out of the high school ranks for the 17-18 campaign with other players on the radar as well.

Thornton, who was ranked No. 14 nationally by Rivals.com his junior year at Findlay Prep where he averaged 17.0 points and 6.2 assists, elected to reclassify last summer and play for Duke, which needed immediate point guard help.

Because he had repeated the third grade, Thornton entered Duke at the age of 18.

He had a busy freshman season, arriving at school in mid-August after finishing his high school academic workload that allowed him to graduate.

He had 19 points in his first start, a win over VCU, and followed that with 14 in a win over Georgetown, impressing coach Mike Krzyzewski.

“Eighteen years old, his first two starts, are you kidding me?” Krzyzewski told Jason King of Bleacher Report at the time.

“The kid isn’t afraid.”

His nickname in high school was “Houdini.”

“In high school and AAU ball, Thornton was known as a scoring guard, a guy who could take over a game with his ability to beat an opponent into the lane and either pull up from mid-range or slash into the paint for an easy basket. Sure, there were a few schemes to remember and the occasional scouting report, but for the most part, it was a simple game— and Thornton was good enough to play it the way he wanted,” Bleacher Report’s King wrote. l

Watson lists KU: Devin Watson, a 6-1 sophomore guard from Oceanside, Calif., who has announced plans to leave University of San Francisco, tells ESPN he is looking at KU, California, UNLV, Fresno State and San Diego State.

Watson averaged a team-leading 20.3 points off 41.8 percent shooting.

He hit 65 of 186 threes for 34.9 percent. He had 146 assists to 89 turnovers for Rex Walters’ (15-15) Dons.

Watson, like Thornton, will have to sit out a year in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. l

Chiefs lose tampering appeal Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Chiefs’ appeal of anti-tampering violations was denied by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday, a decision that drew a strong rebuke from influential owner and team chairman Clark Hunt.

Kansas City will forfeit its third-round pick in next week’s draft and its sixth-round pick next year, though its $250,000 fine was reduced to $200,000 and coach Andy Reid’s fine was reduced from $75,000 to $60,000.

The Chiefs were found to have had direct communication with thenfree agent wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, who had been drafted by Reid in Philadelphia, during the league’s negotiating period. That communication is considered a violation of the NFL’s tampering rules.

While the Chiefs have never denied the tampering charges, they main-

tained that the penalties handed down last month were inconsistent with those levied in similar cases.

“We appreciate the opportunity to make our appeal on this matter, and we acknowledge the minor reduction in fines,” Hunt said in a statement Monday. “However, we continue to believe that the facts of this case combined with the league’s inconsistent enforcement of its tampering policies do not warrant the most severe penalty for player-related tampering in league history.”

In 2008, the San Francisco 49ers were found guilty of tampering with Chicago linebacker Lance Briggs by contacting his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, during the season without the Bears’ permission.

The 49ers were stripped of their fifth-round pick and had to swap thirdround choices with Chicago as penalties.

Three years later, the Chiefs accused Detroit of tampering when excoach Gunther Cunningham — then the Lions’ defensive coordinator — said he would be interested in signing players Kansas City released. The Lions lost their sixth-round pick and had to swap fifthround picks with the Chiefs.

Last year, the New York Jets were fined $100,000 for tampering after owner Woody Johnson said he’d “love to have Darrelle (Revis) back” when the cornerback was still a member of the New England Patriots.

NFL vice president Troy Vincent said the penalties levied against Kansas City were intended “to balance the seriousness of the violation of an important and longstanding competitive rule with the appropriate recognition of the club’s

history (of no prior offenses) and the cooperation shown by both the club and individual employees.”

The Chiefs have no further options under the league’s appeal process.

Maclin declined to discuss the case in detail Monday when he reported to the Chiefs’ practice facility for the start of their offseason program, though he did say he was “shocked in a way” by the penalties.

“It’s been a weird situation,” said Maclin, who appeared to validate his $55 million, five-year contract by catching a career-high 87 passes for 1,088 yards and eight touchdowns last season.

“You have to take responsibility for what we do,” Maclin said. “Stats aren’t going to justify what happened with the whole situation. .... As far as me and my situation, I did what I could to help the team.”

Ex-Iowa State women’s player sues coach Des Moines, Iowa (ap) — Former Iowa State basketball star Nikki Moody has sued coach Bill Fennelly, the university and the state for racial discrimination and retaliation, saying she was repeatedly called a “thug”

and labeled a selfish player despite being the program’s career assists leader.

Fennelly, who has been Iowa State’s coach since 1995, constantly demeaned, berated, harassed and discriminated

Moody, who is black, said the discrimination she suffered led to a “hos-

Iowa State released a statement Monday night saying that it “takes very seriously complaints of discrimination and harassment.”
