Kaw above flood levels after heavy rainfall

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

More than 2 inches of rain fell on the Lawrence area between Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Lawrence saw about 2.19 inches of rain between approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday and 4 a.m. Wednesday, according to measurements from the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

The warning, which will last until this afternoon, stated the river was at 17.1 feet, just above the flood stage of 17 feet.

It was estimated the river would rise to 17.2 feet by Wednesday morning, causing minor flooding, before falling back under flood levels.

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers returned to the Statehouse following a five-week break Wednesday and immediately heard what may be the opening salvo of the 2016 election campaign, a call for total repeal of all the tax cuts that Gov. Sam LEGISLATURE Brownback and the Republican-controlled Legislature passed in 2012 and 2013.

Teachers cite poor communication in survey

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

In more than 100 anonymous survey responses from teachers in the Lawrence school district, it’s clear that some teachers don’t feel that the district’s administration values their input.

“In large part, the current challenges our district faces focus on a lack of transparency and communication between the administration and the teaching staff,” one teacher wrote. “Changes, new approaches, new programs and

of the district’s superintendent search and gathered more than 100 pages of anonymous feedback from district administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents. The survey asked

about four topics: the community’s strengths, the district’s strengths, issues facing the new superintendent and what characteristics the new superintendent should have.

More than a third of the teachers’ responses — 52 out of 145 — regarding what issues face the new superintendent expressed that communication between the district’s administration and its teachers is poor.

As plans for its new teen center move forward, the Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence is expanding its fundraising efforts with hopes of opening the multimilliondollar center by late 2017.

The club has already raised more than half of the funds needed and is launching a public campaign for the remainder.

“We want all of Lawrence to participate in this campaign, whether it’s through volunteerism or giving,” said Colby Wilson, executive director of the club. “So, it’s

Many of those comments relate that shortcoming to a lack of teacher involvement in recent district undertakings, such as blended learning, digital textbooks and the discipline model, Ci3T. “Even though the district asks for staff input, the feeling is that decisions are made at the top and staff input is not really valued,” another teacher wrote. “There are too many new initiatives that are overwhelming and implemented without proper staff development or the time to make them work properly.”

The district’s superintendent search concluded last month with the hiring of Kyle Hayden. Hayden is currently an assistant superintendent in the district, and will assume his new role beginning in July. Hayden said that both he and members of the school board read through the survey report and found the negative teacher comments concerning.

“We need to have an understanding of what that’s about,” Hayden said. “Is that an isolated perspective or is that something that’s fairly pervasive that we need to understand more and figure out what adjustments need to be made?”

In response to the issue, Hayden said he plans meet with teachers and students at all 21 of the district’s schools by the end of the school year.

Following those meetings, he is also using a Google form to collect anonymous feedback that will be sorted and later presented to the board.

Hayden said it’s one thing to make a comment in a stakeholder survey, but he said he would like to better quantify the feedback.

“Is that one building, is it one person, is it multiple buildings that have the same type of issues that are resonating?” he said. “And that’s what I mean by trying to quantify it. Because you don’t want to be reactionary necessarily to one thing, but you do need to pay attention if something is consistently being said because that wouldn’t be good leadership if you were hearing that then dismissing it.”

School board President Vanessa Sanburn agreed. Sanburn said that even though the stakeholder survey was voluntary and therefore not necessarily an even sampling of feedback, the concerns were still important to address.

“Since there were definitely some themes that existed in that stakeholder input report, it’s a really important thing for our district to look into those concerns and get a handle on how large of a problem it is,” she said.

Since Hayden was hired as the incoming superintendent in March, he has visited seven schools and met with the student councils at both high schools. Hayden said he thought the meet-

“

I think teachers obviously know best what their students need and so having their input is very valuable. But I think it’s also important to recognize that sometimes you can’t build a full, complete consensus.”

— Lawrence school board President Vanessa Sanburn

ings alone were a good first step.

“Just the fact that I’m there and asking them what they think, it seems to mean a lot to people,” he said.

In the meetings he’s had so far, Hayden said that though in general the feedback has been positive, teachers have voiced concerns about the role they’ve had in the district’s rollout of blended learning, new technology and Ci3T. “In the past they felt like they may have been involved (in those undertakings), but the decision seemed to steer in a different direction than anticipated,” he said. “And so those are the type of things that I think we need to understand.”

Several comments on the stakeholder survey expressed that teachers who gave negative feedback regarding district undertakings felt that administrators ignored it.

“Top down management is resented and should not be a direction the district continues to move in,” one teacher wrote. “Teachers should be allowed input in programs/initiatives, and that input should be taken seriously.”

Sanburn said that getting teacher input and working to build consensus throughout any process results in better “buy-in” from teachers on district initiatives and thus better results. At the same time, she noted that getting everyone to agree isn’t likely.

“I think teachers obviously know best what their students need and so having their input is very valuable,” Sanburn said. “But I think it’s also important to recognize that sometimes you can’t build a full, complete consensus.”

Hayden is also planning a joint meeting of teachers, staff and parents, which will be held at the district offices on May 11. Once the feedback from the meetings and the new survey is compiled, Hayden said he will present it to the school board in July.

He said feedback will be used to inform the board goals, which are set yearly.

“Multiple perspectives are always valuable and it takes all kinds of people, I think, to make quality decisions happen,” Hayden said. “If we’re working in isolation of each other, then that’s not going to be the most productive way to work.”

Cuts

ljworld.com

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Annie McKay, executive director of the left-leaning Kansas Center for Economic Growth, said lawmakers should consider repealing the cuts instead of the three options that Brownback outlined last week, all of which involve spending cuts and fund transfers but no new revenues.

“We’re here to call for Option Number 4, an end to the Brownback tax experiment,” McKay said.

McKay was joined in a news conference by former state budget director Duane Goossen, who is now a senior fellow at KCEG, as well as representatives from Kansas Action for Children, the Kansas Contractors Association and the Kansas National Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union.

Together, they called for repealing all of the Brownback-era tax cuts, effectively returning the state’s tax code to its pre-2012 status.

“If we were to restore the tax changes that were made in 2012 and 2013, arguably we would see a revenue increase of probably over $1 billion,” she said.

Although most lawmakers give that idea no chance of passing in the final days of the 2016 session, it will undoubtedly be a common refrain in political campaigns later this year as Democrats and moderate Republicans try to win back effective control of the Legislature from fiscal conservatives.

“I’m sure you’re going to be hearing about a lot of it, because look what they have to do,” said Sen. Tom Holland of Baldwin City, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee. “We had the largest tax increase in (Kansas’) history last year to try to fill that hole, and it’s still not filling it.”

Brownback’s tax cuts In 2012, Brownback’s second year in office, he pushed through a sweeping package of tax cuts that involved eliminating the state’s top income bracket and lowering income tax rates on the remaining two brackets, and completely exempting personal income derived from certain kinds of business operations.

The result has been that more than 330,000 farmers and small business owners pay no state income tax on their business incomes, and a significant reduction in taxes for all others who pay state income taxes.

According to the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department, the business tax exemption amounts to about $260 million a year.

And while that may be the most politically controversial of the tax cuts, researchers say, the most expensive has been the cut in individual income tax rates, which is costing the state about $750 million a year.

ANNIE MCKAY, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE KANSAS CENTER FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH, answers questions following a Statehouse news conference in which she called for total repeal of Gov. Sam Brownback’s 2012 and 2013 tax cuts.

Brownback said at the time of the tax cuts that they would stimulate the Kansas economy in the wake of the Great Recession and would eventually generate even more revenue in the form of sales taxes and other revenue streams.

The administration now points to certain economic numbers to support his claim: a record number of Kansans now employed; an unemployment rate of 3.9 percent, which is well below the national average; modest growth in personal income; and a large number of new businesses having started in Kansas.

But critics say the economy would have rebounded anyway, and the recovery here has been slower than the nation as a whole.

“Kansas is getting back to its historic average,” McKay said. “The unemployment rate now is nothing terribly surprising. Also, the unemployment rate is dropping across the country and around in our region.”

Current budget hole Meanwhile, despite the improved economy, the tax cuts have not resulted in a surge of sales tax revenue, despite last year’s effort to plug an earlier budget hole by raising the sales tax rate by more than one-third of a cent, to 6.5 percent.

According to new revenue estimates released April 20, the state of Kansas faces a $290 million revenue shortfall over the next 16 months, which is largely the result of lower-than-expected collections of sales and individual income taxes.

Brownback has offered three options for closing that budget gap, all of which start with sweeping $185 million out of the state highway program, forcing the delay of several major highway expansion and modernization projects, and cutting 3 percent, or $17.7 million, in funding from the state’s six universities.

In addition to those, Option 1 calls for selling off part of the state’s interest in future tobacco settlement money, which funds children’s health and early education programs. And Option 2 calls for delaying for another year a $92 million payment into the state pension system. Either of those would require legislative approval.

The third option, water going by now with the river as high as it is, even if we were sampling minute-by-minute, chances are we wouldn’t even see their 2 million gallons,” Klamm said. “We have millions of gallons coming by us every minute.”

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment was also notified of the sewage release and determined a public advisory was not needed, the news release states.

Chances of precipitation will continue the rest of the week.

According to the weather service, today is expected to be mostly sunny, the weather service reports. Friday’s forecast includes a 30 percent chance of showers, which increases to a 70 percent chance in the evening.

which Brownback could execute on his own if lawmakers do not act, would involve across-the-board cuts ranging from 3 to 5 percent to most state agencies and programs, including K-12 education.

“Unfortunately, the structural deficit that we are experiencing is unprecedented, and the options we’ve been given are not solutions,” former budget director Goossen said.

Tax bills waiting Both the House and Senate tax committees are considering bills dealing with the business tax exemption. The House bill would repeal it entirely, although some want the revenue to be used to pay for lowering the state sales tax on food. The Senate bill would only tax 70 percent of that business income, leaving the exemption in place for the 30 percent that federal tax law refers to as “working capital” of those business entities.

Democrats have suggested they will be reluctant to consider anything short of a full repeal of the business exemption, acknowledging that even that won’t generate enough money immediately to solve the budget problem.

“We need to repeal the whole thing. It’s unfair and we need the revenue,” said Rep. Tom Sawyer, D-Wichita, the ranking Democrat on the House tax committee.

Senate Vice President Jeff King, R-Independence, said he hopes the Senate bill can be voted out of committee this week, possibly as early as today.

But Holland said he doesn’t believe the state’s budget problem can be fixed just by revisiting the business tax exemption, and he does not support the Senate bill.

“That’s just trying to put a happy face on a much larger problem,” he said.

But House Speaker Ray Merrick has indicated he does not plan to have full debate on the floor for any new bills during the wrap-up session, meaning the House will only vote on conference committee reports or on motions to concur or nonconcur with bills sent back to the House from the Senate.

Woman accused of abusing dependents

By Conrad Swanson Twitter: @Conrad_Swanson

A Topeka woman accused of mistreating two dependent adults faces felony charges.

Brooke Tiara Shinn, 20, was arrested Tuesday and faces two felony counts of mistreatment of a dependent adult, one felony count of aggravated battery and one misdemeanor count of criminal restraint, according to a criminal complaint filed in Douglas County District Court.

Shinn is accused of inflicting “physical injury, unreasonable confinement or unreasonable punishment” upon one dependent man between Feb. 14 and Feb. 16 of 2015, the complaint says. She is also accused of treating the victim in such a way that “great bodily harm, disfigurement or death could be inflicted.”

Shinn is also accused of mistreating another dependent man and restraining him in such a manner as to “interfere substantially” with his liberty between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28,

2015, the complaint says.

Shinn is no longer listed in the custody of the Douglas County Jail. She is scheduled to appear in court on at 3 p.m. May 10 for a bond appearance.

Further information was not immediately available. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Kristen Dymacek did not immediately respond to a public information request seeking Shinn’s booking photo.

A Haskell Indian Nations University graduate who prominently took on the name of the Washington Redskins pro football team will be the keynote speaker at this year’s Haskell commencement.

Amanda Blackhorse, with four other American Indians, filed the lawsuit that led to the June 2014 decision of the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to cancel the NFL team’s trademark registration, calling it disparaging to American Indians.

The widely publicized decision was the result of an eight-year legal process, according to national media reports. The Blackhorse case sprung from a similar effort going even further back, Harjo et al v.

Pro-Football Inc., that was filed in 1992 but lost on appeal 17 years later.

Haskell announced

Amanda Blackhorse Blackhorse as its commencement speaker on Wednesday.

A member of the Navajo Nation, Blackhorse is from Big Mountain and Kayenta, Ariz., according to Haskell.

She received her associate’s degree from Haskell in 2004 and graduated from Kansas University’s School of Social Welfare in 2006. She received a master’s of social work from Washington University in St. Louis in 2009 and now is a licensed independent clinical social worker handling behavioral health in the Gila River Indian Community in Laveen, Ariz.

School district may buy 23rd St. property to store buses

P

shirt from the burn pile and did a little investigating. It appears the school district is set to buy a nearly 8-acre piece of property along 23rd Street near Haskell Indian Nations University.

A request was recently filed at Lawrence City Hall seeking to rezone the property at 711 E. 23rd St. that is cur-

rently owned by Douglas County. It is the site the county previously used to house its snowplows and other public works equipment. It is just east of Haskell Indian Nations University. The rezoning request stated the Lawrence school district “is in the process of purchasing” the property from the county.

No, don’t expect Lawrence’s next new school to be built along 23rd Street.

Instead, the school district is seeking to have the property rezoned from a general governmental use to industrial zoning. The rezoning request states the district may want to store “fleet vehicles” on the site, which would

require the change in zoning.

Rochelle Valverde, the J-W reporter who covers the school district, tells me district officials have been considering options for running the district’s school bus service, which currently is run by a contractor.

BRIEFLY Kansas State asked to examine rapes Manhattan (ap) — Kansas State University fraternities are calling on the university to begin investigating episodes of alleged sexual violence that occur off campus.

The university’s Interfraternity Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday seeking the university’s involvement in off-campus incidents. The move comes less than a week after two students sued the university, alleging civil rights violations for not looking into two allegations of rape that occurred at off-campus events hosted by fraternities.

“We salute the bravery of victims during this time whose allegations were not fully investigated and adjudicated by the university,” the council wrote in the resolution. “Their fight against sexual violence has shed light on a university policy which has negatively impacted the lives of students for far too long.”

According to the resolution, the council has met with university officials over the past two years to request for a policy change to include off-campus allegations, but the meetings haven’t provided a clear plan of action.

“It’s just been very frustrating,” said Zach Lowry, the council’s president.

“It’s fallen on deaf ears.”

The resolution says the university hasn’t given victims assurance to continue their education free of sexual violence by assisting with finances or helping students change their residence, class schedule or campus job. It also says that the university hasn’t investigated if allegations occurred on or off campus.

Special ed group names new director The East Central Kansas Cooperative in Education Board of Directors agreed Tuesday to hire Dan Wray as the cooperative’s next director.

Wray will come to the special education cooperative, which serves the Baldwin, Eudora and Wellsville school districts, from the Ottawa school district, where he has been the special education director since 2013. He will start his duties on July 1 and will succeed Patti Bishop.

Wray’s experience includes positions at Academy High School in Colorado Springs, Colo., and Douglas County, Colo., schools.

He served as director of special education and earlychildhood education in the Cherry Creek (Colo.) School District. He has a bachelor’s degree in English education from MidAmerica Nazarene University and a master’s in special education and leadership from the University of Colorado.

City Council now will need to get better numbers and designs to flesh out its ideas, he said. That process should start when the City Council meets at 7 p.m. Monday at the Baldwin City Public Library.

Rodden said there was little chance that details and language could be ready for any project for the November general election and that special elections would probably be scheduled at a later date should the City Council want to move on any of the projects before the next election cycle in 2018.

The community center discussion built on the Baldwin City Recreation Commission’s commitment from the Baldwin school board to provide about 2.5 acres of the Rhulen property north of the high school for a community center should voters approve a bond issue for its construction.

The consensus among council members now is to ask the school board to do more. The proposed plan would have the city ask voters to approve a 0.3 percent sales tax, which would raise about 120,000 per year for the community center’s debt retirement, while the

school board would ask district voters to approve a mill levy increase to raise an equal amount for annual debt payment.

The proposed use of the district’s property tax authority to help fund the community center would capture the school district’s larger tax base. As discussed at the work sessions, the school district’s levy would not start until 2019 after bond payments for Baldwin High School ended. The district’s mill levy support for that debt payment is currently about 7 mills.

Baldwin school district Superintendent Paul Dorathy said such a request would be difficult with so many questions surrounding the state’s funding of local districts.

Depending what happens in Topeka, the Baldwin school board could be forced to ask for more local tax support for the local option budget or capital outlay fund, he said.

“I would think our board would not be comfortable in a new tax until some of the questions of school finance are settled,” he said.

The City Council also reached consensus on a number of issues involving

a new police station, which would replace the current headquarters at 811 Eighth St. Although there was discussion about placing the police headquarters in the community center, the consensus now is to relocate the station in the public works department’s downtown property.

The $1.8 million to $2.4 million police station would be built through a combination of sales and property taxes, Rodden said. Once again, the city would have to get voter approval for any added sales tax authority.

The Lumberyard theater was removed from the capital improvement list with the consensus that no city sales or property taxes would be used for the arts center project. Instead, discussion favored the city offering the use of industrial revenue bonds, which would allow the Lumberyard board to finance the theater with the city’s low interest rate.

Any City Hall improvements would have to wait until the police station was relocated, Rodden said.

While the 2014 Trademark Trial and Appeal Board decision did not force the team to change its name, supporters hope it will strengthen the argument to do so.

“It is a great victory for Native Americans and for

all Americans,” Blackhorse said in a statement published by The Washington Post in 2014. “I hope this ruling brings us a step closer to that inevitable day when the name of the Washington football team will be changed.”

In the past year, Blackhorse co-founded the group Arizona to Rally Against Native Mascots.

The group describes its

mission as advocating “for the elimination of Native American mascots and logos in schools and professional sports,” including the Kansas City Chiefs.

She also speaks nationally about how colonization and “historical trauma” contributed to such mascots, according to Haskell.

Haskell commence-

ment is planned for 10 a.m. to noon May 6 at Coffin Sports Complex, 155 Indian Ave. on the Haskell campus.

In 2015, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell visited the Haskell campus and gave the commencement address.

really about casting a wider net.”

The teen center will provide after-school and summer programming for Lawrence middle school and high school students.

Plans for the 22,000 square-foot facility include a teaching kitchen, a music studio, art rooms, a full-size gymnasium and a large multipurpose area and game room.

In partnership with the Lawrence school district, the teen center will also connect to the Lawrence College and Career Center, 2910 Haskell Ave. The connection between the two buildings will enable the Boys & Girls Club to use the robotics and science lab, 3D printer and other work spaces available at the career center.

The club’s current facility has the capacity for about 70 students. The new teen center will replace that facility and allow the club to serve 250 to 300 kids on a daily basis, Wilson said. Currently, a yearly membership for middle school and high school students is $25 and allows students to drop in to the teen center as little or as often as they would like. Because of that structure, Wilson said the number of yearly visitors to the club is significantly higher than the daily capacity.

“We anticipate over 1,000 middle school and high school kids coming through the doors in a year,” Wilson said. “…

Once they are a member of the club, they can drop in anytime. Most of them do come on the buses right after school, but there’s no requirement to attend every day.”

The club has raised $2.3 million toward the $4.25 million teen center already, and hopes to raise the remainder of the funds by the end of the year, Wilson said.

To build support, the club is offering tours of the career center and the current teen center, 1520 Haskell Ave. The club currently has after-school programs at all 14 of the school district’s elementary schools, and Wilson said the teen center will address the needs of older students. “…There are still thousands of middle and high school students that need us,” he said. “We have a wait list at our current teen center that we can finally accommodate once this project is finished.”

Though the project is dependent on fundraising, Wilson said the plan is to have the new teen center open by fall of next year.

Tours can be arranged on the campaign’s website at bgclk.org/GreatFutures/.

erty, rather than on a site owned by a third party, perhaps could save the district some money.

In case you have forgotten, the county no longer needs the property because it built a multimillion-dollar public works facility near the Douglas County Jail.

What will be interesting to figure out is how Douglas County goes about selling this proper-

ty. I talked with Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug, and he confirmed the county and school district have reached a “verbal agreement that still needs to be publicly vetted.”

One part of the vetting process, he said, is an examination of state statutes that dictate how public governments can sell property.

Weinaug said the cur-

rent plan is for the school district to take over the county site and for the county to take over the school district’s current facilities and operations center, which is at the northeast corner of Second and Maine streets, caddy-corner from Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

As we have reported, the county is interested in that site because it is near where the county

hopes to build a Crisis Intervention Center to serve those with mental health needs.

Weinaug said that as part of the deal, there would be some money changing hands between the two government entities. He didn’t provide any of those financial details, but they would become public before the two entities finalized any deal.

The Douglas County Commission’s short agenda was expanded Wednesday with a late agenda item that stemmed from the Douglas County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council’s meeting from a day before.

Added to the agenda was action on a measure that allows the County Commission to expand the council to 15 members through the addition of an expert in the “intersection of race and criminal justice.” In March, the County Commission passed a resolution creat-

ing the 14-member body.

The County Commission’s action came after council members unanimously voted Tuesday to expand its membership.

That action was in response to a COUNTY letter sent to COMMISSION the County Commission earlier this month from Lawrence NAACP chapter President Ursula Minor urging it to appoint a representative of the NAACP or similar organization to the Coordinating Council to help ensure the body addresses the dispropor-

tionate number of people of color in the county jail and facing criminal action in county courts.

The process the Coordinating Council developed Tuesday will have the NAACP and other county groups with an interest in race and criminal justice issues jointly select an individual for Coordinating Council’s consideration.

Should that body find the candidate qualified, it would forward a recommendation for the candidate’s approval to the County Commission.

“I’m fine with this,” Commission Chairman Jim Flory said of the re-

quest and process. “I look forward to the approving the council’s recommendation in short order.”

Minor said she saw the addition as a positive step.

“I would like to reiterate that we are not requesting a person of color to fill the opening position on the board,” she said. “We want someone qualified who specializes in issues of race to fill the position.”

In other action, the County Commission approved increasing county support for employee health insurance by 9.5 percent.

Baldwin City Council reaches consensus on capital improvement project list

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

After a series of work sessions in the last month, the Baldwin City Council has reached a consensus on what building programs should be part of the city’s capital improvement plan.

Among the building programs discussed were projects that have been on the City Council’s plate for three years. They are a new police station, a new public works headquarters, upgrades to City Hall and a theater at the Lumberyard Arts Center. Added to the list as a result of a Baldwin City Recreation Commission initiative that started in November was a new community center.

If the City Council follows through with developed consensus, the community center and police station would be built with the help of sales tax increases. That would require the City Council to advance bond referendums for both uses.

Baldwin City Administrator Glenn Rodden said no formal decisions could be made in the work session discussions, but City Council members did agree on the projects. The

Take warning signs of suicide seriously Dear Annie: Tragedy has struck our family.

A cousin killed himself on Easter Sunday.

I never thought my cousin would do this.

He worked with troubled teens and their families. He was outgoing and strong, and helped others through their own tough spots.

A few years ago, his son died by suicide.

Since that time, my cousin struggled with depression and a host of other things. Apparently, the pressure and depression overcame him that Sunday. Yet in his everyday life, he was surrounded by people who might have noticed the signs of what was happening had they known what to look for.

Sometimes we get so caught up with our own issues that we forget to pay atten-

tion to what’s going on around us. We need to take time to see the needs of those we love and care for — things that may lie beneath the surface.

Please help your readers to recognize the signs of someone struggling, and to help that person before it’s too late. Suicide doesn’t solve the problem — it only creates devastation for those left behind. — One Left Behind

New arrival shakes up ‘Bones’ Can a pleasant new face shake up “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox, TV14)? Now in its 11th season, the grim forensics procedural sure could use some tweaking. Sara Rue (“Impastor”) guest-stars as behavioral analyst Karen Delfs, assigned to the task force to explore the motivations of a suspected serial killer.

“Bones” has always offered a rather limited bag of tricks.

A murder victim arrives at the Jeffersonian Institute, often in some ghoulish form of decay. If this background of morbidity wasn’t strange enough, Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) spoke and behaved as if human interaction was entirely foreign to her.

She’s not the only character with rather precise diction and halting delivery. Interpersonal conversations erupt almost as afterthoughts. Dr. Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) snarls about his paraplegic status in a manner that seems almost perfunctory.

Cam (Tamara Taylor) discusses the end, or perhaps the beginning, of a relationship with all the emotions of a person considering a change of shoes.

Their dialogue offers brief placeholders between grisly details and the description of preposterously arcane procedures.

The domestic life of Brennan and Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) is least natural of all.

Even if their daughter’s “imaginary” nighttime bogeymen are eerily similar to the serial killers at the center of their waking professional nightmare.

Into this land, or lab, of stilted dialogue, Rue arrives like a ray of sunshine. Or a 37-yearold teenager. Nearly 15 years removed from the 2002 ABC comedy “Less Than Perfect,” she’s still cast as young and effervescent. OK, she wears glasses here. She unsettles the “just the facts” atmosphere of the FBI with her out-of-the-box theorizing and stabs at slang.

Booth is not amused when she describes their possible suspect as seriously “cray-cray.” Is he miffed at her irreverence, or just mad he didn’t know that was a 20-something phrase for crazy?

O “The Eighties” (8 p.m., CNN) recalls a changing music scene that witnessed the rise of music videos and the eclipse of vinyl records as CDs gained popularity in an era dominated by artists Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi and Prince.

Tonight’s other highlights O A Florida strategy calls for desperate measures on “Scandal” (8 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

O Lee’s sister risks her life to provide information on “Rush Hour” (9 p.m., CBS, TV-14).

O Sarah seeks answers on “Orphan Black” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-MA).

Dear Behind: Not everyone who chooses suicide shows signs that others would pick up on. Chances are, your cousin never got over the suicide of his son, a horrible tragedy that undoubtedly contributed to this one, no matter what face he put on for everyone else.

Here are some signs to watch for: Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself; looking for a way to kill oneself; talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live; talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain; talking about being a burden to others; increasing the use of alcohol or drugs; acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly; sleeping too little or too much; withdrawing or feeling isolated;

Amtrak link Wichita’s welcome of a bus link to nearby Amtrak routes is a good reminder of how fortunate Lawrence is to have regular Amtrak service.

T

here’s more than one way to provide Amtrak passenger service to the state’s largest city.

Rail advocates have been trying for some time to get a new rail route that would run through Wichita and serve as a link between the Southwest Chief, which runs through Newton, and the Heartland Flyer, which stops in Oklahoma City. “That’s still a good idea,” Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said recently, “but why wait?”

Magliari’s comment came during a news conference last week announcing a new Amtrak route between Newton and Oklahoma City. However, no trains are involved. The route is for touring-style buses, operated by a Wichita-based charter company, to carry rail passengers between the Southwest Chief and the Heartland Flyer.

It may not be exactly what Wichita travelers were hoping for, but it formally restores passenger rail service to Wichita for the first time in 37 years, They’ll just start their journey on an Amtrak bus instead of an Amtrak train.

As people who ride the train out of Lawrence know, Amtrak travel across Kansas is an early morning affair. The Amtrak connector bus will leave Wichita at 1:35 a.m. each day to catch the Southwest Chief at 2:45 a.m. in Newton.

It will head south from Newton at 4 a.m. and leave Wichita at 5 a.m. so passengers can catch the Heartland Flyer in Oklahoma City at 8:25 a.m.

The mayor of Wichita lauded the new transportation option for his city. The welcome that Wichita is giving to even this makeshift Amtrak service is a good reminder of how fortunate Lawrence is to be on a regular Amtrak route. The bus connection through Wichita also provides additional travel options for Lawrence riders.

With airline travel becoming more expensive and less enjoyable, trains may become an even more popular option for the future, which supports the need to invest in both maintenance and expansion of Amtrak tracks and service. Completing a rail line between Newton and Oklahoma City would be a good addition for Amtrak, but the bus line is a creative stopgap measure.

Puerto Rico’s issues won’t stay there Immigrant goes to America, Many hellos in America; Nobody knows in America Puerto Rico’s in America!

— “West Side Story”

Washington — Puerto Rico, an awkward legacy of America’s 1898 testosterone spill, the Spanish-American War, is about to teach two things that few Americans know: If conditions get bad enough there, its residents, who are American citizens, can come here. And if Congress does not deal carefully with the mess made by the government in San Juan, Congress will find itself rescuing governments in Springfield, Illinois, and other state capitals.

Puerto Rico’s approximately 18 debt-issuing entities have debts — approximately $72 billion — they cannot repay. The Government Development Bank might miss a $422 million payment due in May, and the central government might miss a $2 billion payment in July. Congress will not enact a “bailout,” meaning an infusion of U.S. taxpayers’ money.

But some Democrats — perhaps anticipating a day of reckoning for their oneparty state of Illinois, and nurturing their indissoluble marriage to government employees unions, some of which have helped reduce Puerto Rico to prostration — want to reward the San Juan government’s self-indulgence. They favor pouring more Medicare, Medicaid and other benefits into the island. They also favor giving protection of union-

Although Puerto Rico’s per capita income ($11,331) is about half of that of the poorest state (Mississippi, $20,956), Democrats oppose allowing Puerto Rico to lower the hourly minimum wage. The U.S. minimum, $7.25, which applies to the island, is twothirds of the average islander’s wage, which increases unemployment and hence emigration to the mainland.

Some Democrats even want the earned income tax credit and child tax credits paid to Puerto Ricans even though they do not file personal federal income tax returns.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, may also have his eye on Il-

linois and other states subjugated by the axis of the Democratic Party and government employees unions.

He wants legislation for Puerto Rico to require U.S. state and local governments, almost 60 percent of which last year failed to make full pension contributions, to honestly state their pension liabilities. Puerto Rico has a $44 billion unfunded pension liability.

The most complex Puerto Rico issue is what treatments should be authorized for various categories of bondholders. Shed few tears for those who, by buying Puerto Rico’s (or Illinois’) debt, enable the sort of high-spending, vote-buying governance that bankrupted Detroit and soon will have Illinois begging for what does not and should not exist — a bankruptcy option for states.

Puerto Rico’s debts should not be restructured in a way that sets a precedent allowing Illinois to dodge both debts and reforms, particularly reforms pertaining to government employee unions that have contributed to the territory’s dysfunction. The more Puerto Rico is allowed to evade existing legal processes and the need to negotiate with creditors, the more leeway it will have to resist reforms.

Puerto Rico’s political class recoils from a control board exercising federal oversight, which Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla calls a “shameful and degrading” measure to deprive the island “of its own government.” But curtailing this class’ discretion might not

be seen as a deprivation by the 71 percent of Puerto Ricans who in a recent poll favored an oversight board for a government that is warning about being unable to fuel police cars and fund school services.

The president of the territory’s senate likens federal oversight to “the worst colonial subjugations” and The Washington Post worries about “the legitimate prerogatives of the island’s legislature.” But what are the proper prerogatives of a mendicant legislature avidly seeking maximum leeway to repudiate debts?

Because the island is a U.S. territory, what happens there will not stay there: America needs to prevent, or minimize, a humanitarian crisis, some of which would be exported to America. But ameliorative measures must be made conditional on fiscal, labor and other reforms on the island.

America actually needs to have a salutary crisis in Illinois. It will be salutary because it will be a cautionary example for other states if Illinois suffers, without offloading pain on taxpayers elsewhere, the severe consequences of decades of ruinous choices.

And Puerto Rico’s troubles will benefit America if the bond market, sobered by a demonstration that government bonds can be risky, becomes a restraint on state legislatures by raising the cost of borrowing where the legislatures are most irresponsible.

To the editor: C’mon Kansans, the emperor has no clothes. The state is bankrupt and getting deeper in the hole every day.

Obviously this can be laid at the doorstep of Gov. Brownback’s policy of tax breaks. The governor would have us believe that, on the contrary, this is due to the failing economy and not his policies. But his policies are supposed to stimulate the economy. The crashing economy is an indictment of those policies.

Whenever there is the slightest uptick in the economy, Brownback jumps with the speed of lightning to credit his policies for the improvement. What does this say about the remarkable failures of the Kansas economy when so many other states are doing so much better?

Our public schools are in a state of emergency. State universities are being bled dry. Social services are in the worst shape they have been in in decades, and the

state infrastructure, particularly those overseen by the Department of Transportation, have been sacrificed.

All of this in the name of granting tax breaks to a few wealthy cronies.

Brownback calls his policy of trickle-down economics “an experiment.” Experimental? This same worn-out policy has been tried again and again all over the country, always with predictably drastic results. It was started in the 1980s by Ronald Reagan, who relied on the now discredited “Laffer curve.”

At the end of the Reagan administration the country was billions of dollars in debt — well on the way to our current trillions. So goes Kansas.

Mark Reaney, Lawrence

Smart move To the editor: I’d like to thank the City of Lawrence Public Works Department for the vast improvements made to the hill between Maine and Iowa on Ninth Street.

Because the road has been put on a diet and reduced to two lanes for car traffic, one middle turn lane and a bicycle lane on either side, I can now safely ride my bicycle to KU and to The Merc, two of my near-daily destinations. For example, while I wait to turn north onto Michigan off of Ninth, I no longer have to worry that car traffic heading east will plow into me from behind.

Also, though this is purely anecdotal, I notice far fewer accidents at the formerly dangerous intersection of Ninth and Maine, where I live. This is a fine example of how a Complete Streets policy can make roads accessible to all.

Kelly Barth, Lawrence

Impeach him To the editor: It’s time to recall or impeach Gov. Brownback. He is incompetent and unqualified to lead our state any longer.

His plan to raid transportation, education, health,

retirement, tobacco tax and all other state agencies (did I miss any?) to shore up the budget is just a thinly veiled plan to shrink government and reduce taxes permanently. His plan is working just like he hopes it will, and he no longer represents the path most Kansans want to take. The ball is now in our legislators’ court, and we are watching to see who else chooses to go down this path to destruction. It will take years to repair the damage already done, and, if he is not stopped, it will take decades.

The people of Kansas deserve better. We deserve a common-sense leader and Legislature who will do what is right for the long term. It is time for all Kansans who want a better future than what our governor is offering to be heard. Recall or impeach. Our governor is no longer capable of sensible leadership. We need a change NOW.

TED THROWS A ‘HAIL CARLY’

DAN MACMEDAN, USA TODAY

‘SERIAL MOLESTER’ HASTERT SENTENCED Ex-House speaker admits misconduct for first time Aamer Madhani and John Bacon USA TODAY

Clinton interventions will be weakness, confusion and disarray, a mess,” he said. “It has been a complete and total disaster.”

He proposed no real realignment of American interests, suggesting he would continue many key tenets of foreign policy but simply execute them better than his predecessors.

It’s a foreign policy ripped more from his 1987 business best-seller, The Art of the Deal, than the pages of Foreign Affairs.

“In negotiation, you must be willing to walk. The Iran deal, like so many of our worst agreements, is the result of not being willing to leave the table,” he said.

“When the other side knows you’re not going to walk, it becomes absolutely impossible to win — you just can’t win.”

Trump would apply this principle to friends and allies as well.

If European and Pacific allies don’t pay their share of defense costs — as only a handful of NATO allies do — Trump said he would walk away from the 70year-old alliance. “The countries

Donald Trump discusses his vision for foreign policy, which isn’t as softspoken as Theodore Roosevelt’s.

“The Iran deal, like so many of our worst agreements, is the result of not being willing to leave the table.”

CHICAGO Former House speaker Dennis Hastert, who stood second in line to the presidency less than a decade ago, was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison Wednesday for a bank fraud case linked to allegations he sexually abused teen boys more than 30 years ago.

Federal Judge Thomas Durkin called Hastert, 74, a “serial child molester” and rejected a prosecutor’s recommendation of six months in prison on a banking charge that carries a maximum five-year sentence. The court fined Hastert $250,000 and sentenced him to two years of supervised release after leaving prison.

Hastert must register as a sex offender.

“Nothing is more disturbing than having ‘serial child molester’ and ‘Speaker of the House’ in the same sentence,” Durkin said.

Hastert, who entered court in a wheelchair and needed help standing to address the judge, admitted for the first time mistreating some athletes when he was a high school wrestling coach in Illinois before he began his political career. “I want to apologize to the boys I mistreated,” Hastert said. “They looked (up) at me, and I took advantage of them.”

Zachary Fardon, the U.S. attorney for northern Illinois, said federal guidelines for the charge of illegal structuring of bank withdrawals dictated his office’s recommendation for up to a six-month prison term. Hastert pleaded guilty to the charge in October. Fardon noted that Hastert would have faced more serious charges for sex abuse had the statutes of limitation for the criminal sexual misconduct not expired years ago.

The federal guidelines set a maximum sentence for illegal structuring at five years in prison.

Prosecutors said Hastert knowingly tried to evade triggering a rule that requires banks to report withdrawals of more than $10,000 to the IRS, but the money was legally obtained, and he paid all appropriate taxes on the funds. Those details directed prosecutors to seek a relatively short sentence under the guidelines.

“We followed the case where it led, we brought the charges we could bring, and through that, Mr.

WASHINGTON Theodore Roosevelt famously described his foreign policy with the proverb “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”

NEWS ANALYSIS Donald Trump does not speak softly.

Delivering remarks from a prompter to keep him on script, the GOP presidential front-runner gave what was billed as a major foreign policy address Wednesday, attempting to tie together a series of blustery soundbites delivered at campaign rallies into a more cohesive foreign policy.

The result: 39 minutes of denunciations, platitudes and unbridled American exceptionalism, bound with a swagger usually found on sports radio or singleelimination TV reality shows.

Obama’s foreign policy, he said, was “reckless, rudderless and aimless.”

Obama to visit Flint, prompted by 8-year-old’s letter Girl speaks out for city with poisoned water Todd Spangler Detroit Free Press

WASHINGTON President Obama will travel to Flint, Mich., next Wednesday to see the effects caused by a spike in lead levels in the drinking water and address public health concerns and the government response to the crisis.

Details such as the time of day of the visit or public access to any of the presidential events weren’t

immediately made available by the White House, though part of the impetus to visit the city was: a request by Amariyanna Copeny, 8, to meet him.

The White House released a letter written to the president in mid-March by Amariyanna, who goes by Mari, of “Little Miss Flint.” Mari described herself as “one of the children ... effected (sic) by this water” who planned to go to Washington to attend congressional hearings on Flint and “speak out for all the kids that live here.”

“I would love for a chance to meet you or your wife,” Mari wrote. “My mom said chances are

“Letters from kids like you are what make me so optimistic for the future.”

President Obama

you will be to(o) busy with important things but ... even just a meeting from you or your wife would really lift people’s spirits.”

Obama wrote back, “You’re

right that presidents are often busy, but the truth is, in America, there is no more important title than citizen. And I’m so proud of you for using your voice to speak out on behalf of the children of Flint.

“That’s why I want you to be the first to know that I’m coming to Flint,” he wrote. “I want to make sure people like you and your family are receiving the help you need and deserve.

“Letters from kids like you are what make me so optimistic for the future,” Obama wrote. “I hope to meet you next week, ‘Little Miss Flint.’ ” On Twitter, Mari’s mom posted

the White House announcement of the visit, saying, “Mari did that!!!”

U.S. Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., from Flint Township said the president’s visit will help keep the focus on Flint as the water crisis continues. Residents have been warned to drink bottled or filtered water for months as Michigan members of Congress have pleaded for funding to replace aging lead service lines in Flint.

“All Americans should be focused on the ongoing public health emergency,” Kildee said.

“A city of 100,000 people continues to not have safe drinking water.”

Turkish businessman denies helping Iran evade U.S. sanctions Doug Stanglin @dstanglin USA TODAY

An Iranian-born businessman from Turkey pleaded not guilty Wednesday in New York to federal charges that he conspired with two others to help the Iranian government evade U.S. sanctions by laundering millions of dollars through his companies.

Reza Zarrab, 33, who holds dual Turkish and Iranian citizenship, was arrested last month in Miami. He entered his plea of not guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard Berman in Manhattan.

“We are pleased that Mr. Zarrab has finally arrived in New York so we can begin the process of defending this case,” said Zarrab’s attorney, Benjamin Brafman, according to Reuters. “We believe the charges are very defensible.”

Zarrab, who is married to a Turkish pop star, was indicted last month along with one of his employees, 29-year-old Kamelia

Jamshidy, and 65-year-old Hossein Najafzadeh, a senior officer at a unit of Bank Mellat in Iran.

Both men, who are Iranians, remain at large.

The three are charged with engaging in conspiracies to defraud the United States, violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and commit bank fraud and money laundering.

Prosecutors said the defendants, from 2010 to 2015, helped Iranian individuals and companies, including Bank Mellat, one of the largest financial institutions in Iran, evade U.S. sanctions by channeling financial transactions through his companies in Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

The indictment said a draft letter addressed to the general manager of the Central Bank of Iran said the Zarrab family “considers it to be our national and moral duty to declare our willingness to participate in any kind of cooperation in order to implement monetary and foreign exchange anti-sanctions policies.”

Trump discouraged the idea that there were any new principles behind his foreign policy. “It won’t be the Trump doctrine because in life you have to be flexible,” he said after his primary victories Tuesday.

Nor was it an attempt to make his foreign policy appear more presidential. “I’m presidential anyway,” he told CNN Wednesday. “I view presidential as just being a lower key version of myself.”

In Roosevelt’s “big stick” speech in 1901, he cautioned that it is “foolish and undignified to indulge in undue self-glorification.”

“If a man continually blusters, if he lacks civility, a big stick will not save him from trouble,” he said. “In private life, there are few beings more obnoxious than the man who is always loudly boasting, and if the boaster is not prepared to back up his words, his position becomes absolutely contemptible.

“So it is with the nation.”

Justices likely to ease public corruption rules Line between favors, felonies seen as vague in McDonnell case Richard Wolf USA TODAY

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court appeared likely to side with politicians over prosecutors Wednesday and rule that federal corruption laws are unfairly entrapping public officials.

A clear majority of justices sided with lawyers for former Virginia governor Bob McDonnell, who was convicted in 2014 for accepting more than $175,000 in gifts and loans from a wealthy vitamin executive in exchange for government favors. The problem, justices on both sides of the ideological spectrum agreed, is that the laws allow prosecutors to characterize everyday favors as criminal acts.

“It puts at risk behavior that is common, particularly when the ‘quid’ is a lunch or a baseball ticket, throughout this country,” Justice Stephen Breyer told Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben. The current laws, Breyer said, give the Justice Department “enormous power over elected officials.”

How to define political corruption in the absence of clear federal standards presented the eight justices with a tough case to close out the 2015 term’s oral arguments, following others on abortion, contraception, immigration and affirmative action. They must decide what constitutes the “quo” in quid pro quo — exercising influence over government decision-making, or merely providing access.

McDonnell and his wife, Mau-

reen, who sat together in the courtroom, were convicted for accepting lavish gifts such as $20,000 in designer clothes, $15,000 to cater a daughter’s wedding and a $6,000 Rolex watch from Jonnie Williams, CEO of Star Scientific, a Virginia company marketing dietary supplements. In return, they helped Williams gain access to university and health care officials who could help him win federal approval for one of his products.

“It puts at risk behavior that is common, particularly when the ‘quid’ is a lunch or a baseball ticket, throughout this country.”

Associate Justice Stephen Breyer

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a former federal prosecutor, said McDonnell clearly intended to help Williams by arranging meetings with other state officials. Testimony at McDonnell’s trial, she said, indicated that University of Virginia officials “felt pressured” to conduct studies, though they never did.

While none of the justices defended McDonnell’s acceptance of expensive gifts, most had doubts about whether his actions in return constituted “official acts.” They also worried that upholding his conviction could endanger public officials who do favors for constituents in exchange for campaign contributions, expensive lunches or a

day’s trout fishing excursion.

In the federal indictment, Justice Elena Kagan said, “the party becomes an ‘official act’ or calling somebody just to talk about the product becomes an ‘official act.’ ... I’m troubled by these particular charges and (jury) instructions, which seems to make every piece of evidence that you had an ‘official act.’ ” Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy also seemed passionate in their defense of public officials who might cross the line between legal and illegal without realizing it.

“The government has given us no workable standard,” Kennedy said.

Roberts noted that former counsels to Democratic as well as Republican presidents signed a brief on McDonnell’s behalf. “I think it’s extraordinary that those people agree on anything,” Roberts said. “But to agree on something as sensitive as this, and to be willing to put their names on something that says this cannot be prosecuted conduct, I think is extraordinary.”

Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February has resulted in two 4-4 votes since then, with the possibility of more to come. But McDonnell’s appeal of his federal court conviction did not appear to be headed that way. Breyer and Kagan seemed just as skeptical of the federal laws used to indict and convict public officials as their conservative colleagues.

McDonnell, 61, who served as governor from 2010-14, was convicted in 2014 along with his wife.

He was sentenced in 2015 to two years in prison; she received a year-and-a-day sentence. The convictions were upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit last summer.

Prosecution leaves Hastert ‘a broken, humiliated man’ v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Hastert’s legacy and legend are gone,” Fardon said. “In its place (is) a broken, humiliated man.”

Durkin acknowledged he could not sentence Hastert “for being a child molester,” and his sentence would “pale in comparison” to what the former lawmaker would have faced had he been convicted of state charges for sexual abuse of a child.

Under Illinois law, Hastert would have faced three to seven years in state prison if convicted of a single count of sexual misconduct with a minor.

The judge said the prison term was not intended to be a “death sentence,” but Hastert’s age and shaky health should not prevent him from doing time. More than 4,600 inmates federally incarcerated are older than 70, roughly the same age that Hastert began making the illegally structured withdrawals to cover up his wrongdoing, the judge said. Durkin has yet to set a surrender date for when Hastert has to report to prison.

Hastert’s lawyers said he suffered a small stroke shortly after he pleaded guilty in October, and he was also hospitalized for a blood infection.

The sentencing completes the fall of a former small-town high school coach who rose to lead Congress. Hastert was a wrestling coach and social studies teacher at Yorkville for 16 years before launching a political career in the early 1980s that culminated with him being elected as U.S. House speaker.

One former athlete, 53, testified that he was abused by Hastert, describing a locker room molestation when he was 17 years old.

“Judge, I wanted you to know the pain and suffering he caused me then and the pain and suffering he causes me today,” said Scott Cross, the brother of prominent Illinois politician Tom Cross. USA TODAY normally does not name victims of abuse, but Cross revealed his name in open court.

Defense attorney Thomas Green confirmed that Hastert asked his legal team to reach out to Tom Cross to write a letter on Hastert’s behalf. Lawyers for Hastert have said in court papers that Hastert did not recall the inci-

Former speaker of the House Dennis Hastert delivered his farewell address to Congress on Nov. 15, 2007. dent with Scott Cross.

Jolene Burdge, sister of former wrestling manager Steve Reinboldt, told the judge that Hastert abused her now-deceased brother throughout his years at Yorkville High School.

“Don’t be a coward, Mr. Hastert. Tell the truth,” she said.

“What you did was not misconduct, it was sexual abuse of a minor.”

Three other men have come forward and told prosecutors they were victims of sexual misconduct by Hastert during their time on the team.

Wednesday, Hastert acknowledged for the first time that he abused boys under his charge as wrestling coach, but he briefly vacillated when he was asked about his interactions with Reinboldt.

“That was a different situation,” Hastert said before clarifying that he did indeed abuse Reinboldt.

In October, Hastert acknowledged the transactions were made as part of an effort to pay off a man, known in court documents as “Individual A,” for transgressions.

Individual A, who did not testify Wednesday, told prosecutors Hastert molested him at a motel as Hastert and a group of boys made their way home from an out-of-town wrestling camp. The man told prosecutors he was 14 at the time of the incident.

Hastert, who served 20 years in the U.S. House, eight of them as its highest ranking member,

before retiring in 2007, left the Chicago courthouse without talking to reporters. Green issued a statement saying his client “accepts the sentence imposed by the court” and “deeply apologizes to all those affected by his actions.”

Authorities began investigating Hastert for unusual bank withdrawals after the IRS and FBI became suspicious of some large financial transactions.

From 2010 to 2014, Hastert withdrew a total of approximately $1.7 million in cash from multiple bank accounts and gave it to Individual A. The payments were part of what authorities later learned was an off-the-books agreement Hastert made with the man to make amends for the decades-old sexual misconduct.

Officials at Hastert’s bank in Yorkville initially became suspicious of Hastert after conducting a routine audit in April 2012 in which they found he had made seven withdrawals of $50,000.

Bank officials said they asked Hastert why he was making such large withdrawals; banks are required to file currency transaction reports for any withdrawal above $10,000.

Hastert told the bank officials that he was withdrawing the cash for investments and to buy stocks.

He told bank officials he wanted to keep his cash deposits under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.

Health care prices vary by state But report by insurers doesn’t help cost-conscious consumers much Jayne O’Donnell @jayneodonnell USA TODAY

Huge variations exist in the prices of some of the most common medical procedures across state lines, according to a report by major insurers released Wednesday, but some experts say the data is of little use to consumers who rarely know what they owe until the bills arrive.

The insurer-funded Health Care Cost Institute (HCCI) won’t disclose which hospitals or doctors are the high-price culprits and instead is releasing how much states’ average prices differ from the national average.

California, for example, has average prices that are the same as the U.S. averages for dozens of the most common procedures, including pregnancy ultrasounds and cataract surgery. But Clearhealthcosts.com, which compiles prices in 10 metro areas using data from consumers, doctors and hospitals and its own staff members’ research, finds a huge price disparity within a 100mile radius of San Francisco for some procedures.

The cash price for a lower-back MRI without dye ranges from $475 at the Castro Valley Open MRI to $6,221 at the University of California-San Francisco at Mount Zion. Patients pre-paying or paying on the day of service at UCSF, however, get 40% off.

Some say HCCI’s transparency effort doesn’t go nearly far enough now that consumers are paying for so much of procedure costs out of pocket, given highdeductible plans and cost sharing.

Average state prices — and how they compare to national averages — may not be enough as cost transparency becomes a hot topic in state legislatures and in Washington.

“Knowing the average cost in your own town is useful if you’re a researcher, maybe, but it doesn’t help consumers make de-

MRI COSTS VARY Prices for a common MRI – of the lower back without dye – can vary wildly, even in the same area1.

ROBERT ALAN BENSON FOR USA TODAY

The price of an MRI can vary considerably from state to state, or even from city to city within a state.

cisions,” says David Vivero, founder of Amino.com, a physician search tool. “You still have to call 10 doctors.”

The new data should at least alert consumers in states such as Maine, Virginia, North Carolina and New Mexico that they need to shop around, as prices are far higher than the national average.

HCCI has claims data representing about 25% of the commercial market and includes most major insurers except Blue Cross Blue Shield, which releases

its own data. HCCI couldn’t release the doctor or hospital-specific prices consumers could expect to pay because of antitrust issues, says HCCI executive director David Newman. Even though HCCI is independent of insurance companies, Newman says it would still need to partner with a state to release prices for different facilities.

Guroo.com, a consumer site operated by HCCI, gives average state prices for more than 300 procedures.

In Massachusetts, health cost transparency is the law. Since early last year, hospitals and doctors were given 48 hours to provide detailed pricing estimates to consumers who ask. But adherence has been challenging and Neel Shah, a Boston obstetrician and gynecologist, says the law set

1 – Prices are collected from consumers, healthcare providers and ClearHealthcosts.com staff research Source Clearhealthcosts.com JANET LOEHRKE, USA TODAY

off a scramble across the state as many hospitals had to figure out how to quickly answer patient questions.

Some other states require some level of transparency, including New Hampshire, California, Minnesota and New Jersey.

For insurers to release more data would require them to disclose more clearly how their own deals with health care providers leave some consumers paying hundreds or thousands of dollars out of pocket for some procedures.

One example of the problem: Colonoscopies that can cost 50 to 100% more just because they’re done at a hospital rather than an independent surgery center.

“Everyone has to produce the same work product,” says Fred Rosenberg, a Chicago gastroen-

terologist who is president of the Digestive Health Physicians Association. “The more patients become more knowledgeable consumers of medical care, the more we can get these places to be upfront about their prices.”

Jeanne Pinder, a former journalist who founded Clearhealthcosts.com, calls HCCI’s data “bowdlerized” and says some of the most interesting data her site collects comes when consumers wind up paying a far greater share of cost of a procedure than the insurer did. Some insurance policies require consumers to pay the insurer’s negotiated rate, while others require the insured person or the insurers and the consumer to pay the entire sticker price, says Pinder.

In San Francisco, that left one person facing out-of-pocket costs of more than $1,900 for that same lower back MRI that cost less than $500 in the same area.

Insurers also often need to include certain expensive hospitals in their networks to get contracts with some employers. Then they will sometimes put those hospitals in a pricing tier that requires higher out-of-pocket costs.

“One of things that is a barrier is that hospitals and insurers have an incentive to negotiate behind closed doors,” says Shah, who is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and founder of the global non-profit Costs of Care.

In a 2013 report on health care spending, the Institute of Medicine reported about 70% of the variation in spending in the commercial insurance market is due to differences in price markups by doctors and hospitals, which it said most likely reflects these providers’ regional market power.

The HCCI report authors say wages, rent, market power and the lack of transparency are among the reasons for wide disparity in prices.

Amino, which now helps consumers find doctors near them who are experienced in the procedures they are seeking, plans to release doctor-level pricing data “sometime in the future.”

“The bull has not been well received. It has faced suspicion and contempt by investors. It has not been a pleasant ride.”

Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager of Private Client Reserve at U.S. Bank

U.S. and around the globe seven years after the end of the Great Recession. But it has accomplished what very few Wall Street pros thought possible.

While this bull, often dubbed the “most hated” Wall Street has ever seen, has had some close calls with the dreaded bear, such as a more than 19% drop in 2011 and a haircut of more than 14% early this year, the bull has remained intact despite its sketchy reputation.

Indeed, the bull has survived a long list of risks and threats. The European debt crisis, the stripping of the U.S.’s AAA credit rating and Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Hurricane Sandy and the fiscal cliff debacle in 2012. The 16-day government shutdown in 2013.

The Ebola panic of 2014. The China economic slowdown, Greece’s near exit from the eurozone, the Paris and San Bernardino terror attacks and the Fed’s first rate hike in nearly a decade in 2015.

Then there was the worst-ever start to a year for Wall Street to kick off 2016.

This bull is a survivor. It might even end up being the longest bull of all time.

“It has a chance of lasting as long (as the 1990 to 2000 bull) as long as it doesn’t become ‘overloved,’ ” says Ann Miletti, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Wells Fargo Asset Management. “Because it has been the ‘hated’ and ‘feared’ bull I think it actually makes it more likely. It has been a slow growth market for a long time and bumpy ride along the way, but that has also meant that the expectations have remained tempered and valuations have been kept in check — which is a good setup for longevity.”

Fed stands pat but cracks door for June hike Economic reports will help dictate next move on interest rates Paul Davidson @Pdavidsonusat USA TODAY

A spring interest rate hike is still on the table but that may require a big comeback from a wobbly economy.

The Federal Reserve kept its key rate unchanged Wednesday and, while leaving the door open to a June hike amid gains in the global economy and financial markets, gave no signal such a move is likely.

In a statement after a two-day meeting, the Fed said it’s closely monitoring both inflation and

CHIP SOMODEVILLA, GETTY IMAGES

Fed Chair Janet Yellen has been cautious in her tone.

“global economic and financial developments.” It omitted its previous assertion that those developments “continue to pose risks,” tacitly acknowledging reduced stresses overseas and in markets.

Yet for the third consecutive meeting, the Fed declined to assess the risks to its outlook. A description of those risks as “nearly

balanced” would have provided a clearer indication that a rate increase in June was more likely.

The statement, meanwhile, provided a mixed picture of the economy, emphasizing strong job growth but acknowledging that economic growth “appears to have slowed.” It said household spending has moderated but income and consumer sentiment are up. And while housing has “improved further,” business investment and exports “remain soft” due to the global troubles.

The upbeat but cautious tone suggests a rate increase is possible in June, depending on economic reports in coming weeks.

Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, said a June move is “probably a bit too aggressive in terms of timing, given mixed economic data” and global

and market risks. Looming about a week after the Fed’s June meeting is a U.K. referendum on leaving the European Union.

The Fed raised its federal funds rate in December for the first time in nearly a decade — to a still historically low 0.4% — but has held rates steady since because of weakness abroad and related market turbulence.

Since the Fed met in midMarch, China’s No. 2 economy appears to have stabilized. And stocks and other market measures have rebounded from a selloff early this year. But consumer spending gains have slowed and a report Thursday is likely to show feeble economic growth last quarter. Also, inflation is flagging after moving toward the Fed's 2% target, providing officials more leeway to wait to raise rates.

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

In January, the Bank of Japan surprised investors around the world when it said it would start charging financial institutions for depositing money at the bank.

The BoJ’s first-ever use of socalled negative interest rates followed a similar move by the European Central Bank. The goal of the unusual policy tool is to jump-start moribund economic growth. Getting inflation to tick up and off dangerously low levels is another goal.

But since January, when the BoJ pushed interest rates to negative 0.1% and also launched an asset-purchase program to pump more money into the financial system, the BoJ has stood firm and has not eased policy further.

High-profile misses prove the exception

Q: Is earnings season as bad as it seems?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Apple’s disappointing first-quarter revenue and profit casts a shadow on earnings season. But the gadget maker is more of the exception than the rule.

So far, 73% of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 have beat earnings expectations, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. That’s better than 66% of companies that usually do.

Meanwhile, despite some high-profile misses not only from Apple but also Google’s parent Alphabet and Microsoft, just 15% of S&P 500 companies have missed earnings expectations. That’s slightly better than the 24% of companies that usually do.

It’s far enough in the earnings season for investors to start getting a feel for the direction, now that about a third of S&P 500 companies have reported their results.

Nearly half the companies have beat not just earnings forecasts, but revenue predictions as well.

The sectors with the highest percentages of these upside surprises have been consumer discretionary and health care.

Technology, despite the big-cap whiffs, has seen half its members beat both earnings and revenue forecasts.

All this isn’t enough to undo all the pain: Adjusted profits are expected to fall 8% during the quarter.

Other companies pledge support for transgender rights Hadley Malcolm @hadleypdxdc USA TODAY

Retailers are weighing in on transgender rights as momentum builds against Target, whose stance on which bathroom transgender customers and employees can use in stores has sparked major backlash from customers who say they’re going to stop shopping there.

Starbucks, Hudson’s Bay Co. — parent company to Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue — and Barnes & Noble all told USA TO-

KAREN BLEIER, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Barnes & Noble told USA TODAY it welcomes transgender customers and employees to use bathrooms in stores based on gender identity.

DAY employees and customers in their stores are welcome to use the bathroom of the gender they

identify with.

Starbucks spokeswoman Jaime Riley said the company is “looking into additional opportunities to have more gender-neutral signage in our restrooms where jurisdictions allow it.”

“HBC respects and affirms each person’s right to self-identify and access facilities that reflect their gender identity,” spokeswoman Tiffany Bourré said.

“As a company, Barnes & Noble treats all employees and customers with dignity and respect,” spokeswoman Mary Ellen Keating said. “For our transgender employees and customers, that

means that they are allowed to use the bathroom of the gender they identify with.”

Sears Holdings, which operates Sears and Kmart stores, did not directly address the issue of bathroom use, but it expressed support for customer rights in general. “We have strict policies against discrimination and harassment of any kind,” spokesman Howard Riefs told USA TODAY. “We are fortunate to serve a diverse customer base across the United States.”

Other retailers did not respond to requests for comment, including Walmart, Macy’s, Whole

Foods and Simon Property Group, which operates malls across the country.

Starbucks, Whole Foods and Barnes & Noble are among businesses whose executives signed on to a Human Rights Campaign open letter calling for the repeal of a North Carolina law that requires individuals using public restrooms to use the one that corresponds with the sex listed on their birth certificate.

That law, passed last month, has put LGBT rights in a glaring spotlight and prompted hundreds of high-profile companies to pledge support for gay rights.

THE PRINCE ESTATE The legal machinery assigned to figure out what to do about Prince’s estate started up Wednesday: A judge assigned GETTY IMAGES a special administrator and set a first probate hearing date for next week.

Acting on a petition from Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, Judge Kevin Eide, a district court judge in Carver County, Minn., signed orders appointing Prince’s bank, Bremer Trust, National Association, as a special administrator to secure and preserve the estate until a “personal representative,” or executor, is appointed by the court. His order also set a first hearing date for May 2.

They’re on the tail of a beloved kitten in their big-screen project Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele consider their new comedy, Keanu, their ultimate action movie team-up, something that would usually star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel. And Key is calling dibs on which one he wants to be.

“Well, I’m clearly The Rock after an intense SlimFast diet. They call me The Pebble,” quips the 45year-old Detroit native.

After five seasons of doing acclaimed sketches on Comedy Central’s Key & Peele, the two set their sights on Hollywood with Keanu (in theaters Friday). Directed by Peter Atencio and cowritten by Peele, the movie stars the duo as men who, despite being decidedly not streetwise, are on a mission to find a kidnapped kitten but wind up involved in the Los Angeles underworld.

Key and Peele have created a vast array of memorable characters doing their TV series, from dimwitted football players to President Obama and his anger translator, Luther. But cousins

Clarence (Key) and Rell (Peele) are the closest they’ve come to their real selves.

“We’re huge movie fans, obviously, and we’ve never seen movies where there are guys like us,” says Peele, 37, who was born and raised in New York City.

The pair lived for the shootouts and action stunts involving Clarence and Rell, who go by the “gangsta” names Shark Tank and Tectonic. “If we wanted to be nerdy black guys who also got to be action heroes, who else was going to write that movie?” Key says.

“It’s hard at this stage to face the fact that, hey, we might be able to continue this career as movie stars,” Peele says.

Key promises that, as with Keanu, whatever they do next to-

gether will have a distinct flavor.

“One of the mandates has always been what we are going to do that’s different than anything you’ve ever seen before, or how we take an old trope and find a new twist on it.”

But they find it a nice creative palette cleanser to go off and do things separately, too. Key is working on the romantic comedy Why Him? (in theaters Dec. 25) with James Franco and Bryan Cranston, and Peele is writing

and directing the upcoming horror film Get Out. “Absence makes the heart grow stronger, and absence also makes the creative process go stronger,” Key says. “You hear of actors who quit their life for a minute and go bag groceries for a year and pay bills so you have some other experience to draw from.

“You don’t want to end up at a point where all you’re doing is creating things about the world you know.”

@billkev USA TODAY

One is a diabolical arms merchant, the other a debonair senator.

Both are played by Hugh Laurie, who has expanded his acting practice beyond Fox’s former hit medical drama House with three new TV projects.

Laurie is doing double duty in drama and comedy as high-flying outlaw Richard Roper in AMC’s The Night Manager (Tuesdays, 10 p.m. ET/PT), a suspenseful sixepisode miniseries, and vice presidential candidate Tom James in HBO’s Veep (Sundays, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT). And he’ll play a very different kind of doctor in Chance, a Hulu drama set to premiere this fall.

“I’m lucky,” the English actor says, adding a bit of self-deprecation about playing different characters: “Maybe I’m doing a wide range of roles equally badly.”

When John le Carré’s novel The Night Manager was published in

1993, Laurie, whose natural charm infuses Roper, wanted to play the arms dealer’s younger, infiltrating adversary, Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston).

THE INK “Within moFACTORY/AMC ments of Tom starting to do it, I couldn’t imagine anyone else. He has that inscrutable grace and charm that is such a perfect cloak for Pine,” he says.

Laurie, 56, says Roper, who secretly manipulates government officials, would be “a platinum member … of the weird fraternity of rich and powerful people” in the real-life Panama Papers.

Is Roper evil? “Even terrible villains and dictators don’t see themselves as evil. In some ways, Roper is more conscious of his villainy, perhaps,” Laurie says. “I have a theory that Roper knows he is a damned soul and is looking to be betrayed.”

Veep also has a real-world parallel. “What a weird time to be writing a satirical political show when this country is in the grip of an electoral process that you couldn’t make up.”

PATRICK HARBRON, HBO

As suave vice presidential candidate Tom James in HBO’s Veep, top, and as slick arms dealer Richard Roper in AMC’s The Night Manager.

He’s playing an urbane foil to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s President Selina Meyer, who finds herself in an Electoral College tie that could somehow result in her running mate James, whom she scathingly calls “that smug, Dick Van Dyke-looking (expletive),” becoming commander in chief. (“It’s sort of beautiful, isn’t it?”

Laurie says. A wrinkle of the American Constitution.”)

Taking the recurring role has

caused one problem for the Veep fan, who doesn’t like to watch his own performances: “Now that I’m in it, I can’t watch it.”

If playing an immoral entrepreneur and elegant officeholder aren’t enough, Laurie will be going back into medicine in Chance, a “noir-ish thriller” based on the Kem Nunn novel. And no, Laurie cautions, neuropsychiatrist Eldon Chance, a man caught up in a story that includes an obsessive relationship and confused identities, is nothing like Gregory House.

“I read a couple of pages of the script and thought, ‘Oh, that’s a shame. This is really good, but I can’t play a doctor.’ After another couple of pages, I’d forgotten all about that,” he says.

Laurie, who plays blues and jazz and tours with the Copper Bottom Band, says music “stopped me from dropping into a pit of bereavement” after House ended its eight-season run in 2012.

“I don’t miss it, because I feel like it’s there. Quite often, I will just be walking down the street and some line or idea or some attitude that he had will pop into my head and make me laugh. I’m immensely proud of House.”

KANSAS BASEBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Firebirds take cuts against SME ace Even if Shawnee Mission East left-hander Joey Wentz’s reputation had not preceded him to the mound at his high school Tuesday, the Free State High players would have quickly deduced this was not going to be just any day on the diamond.

“It was pretty easy to tell from the 30 to 40 scouts right behind home plate watching him with the radar guns, watching him warm up,” Firebirds leadoff hitter Mikey Corbett said.

“It was pretty easy to tell even before the first pitch.”

Nothing about the first pitch changed anybody’s mind.

“High fastball,” Corbett said. “I knew right then it was going to be a pretty tough day. He was throwing pretty dang hard. The hardest part was that it was so gray out. He was throwing hard, the fastest I’ve ever seen, and it was so difficult to see it off that backdrop.

And he hides the ball really well. You don’t really see the ball until late.”

Corbett struck out on five pitches to start a game Free State lost, 2-0. Zion Bowlin struck out on three pitches for the third out of the first inning.

Wentz, one of two high school pitchers from Kansas projected to go in the first round of June’s majorleague draft, has allowed two hits in 30 innings and has 60 strikeouts. Heading into the Free State game, he had not allowed a hit. The names of the only two baseball players in the state to get a hit off him this season: Corbett and Bowlin.

Corbett led off the fourth with a push-bunt single that neither the pitcher nor the first baseman could field in time. Bowlin lined a hitand-run single to center, a play on which Shawnee Mission East’s Jake Randa, son of former Royals third baseman Joe Randa, threw out Corbett at third.

The Firebirds have a strong nucleus back from a state-championship team, so moral victories don’t cut it. Still, in lining a ball into the outfield for hit, Bowlin accomplished what no other player has thus far. It was news, and he wanted to share it with his father.

So he texted him after the game.

The father’s response, according to the son: “You got swag, boy!”

Bowlin also has, according to coach Mike Hill, “some of the quickest handstrength in his hands. There are a lot of things we would modify on his swing if you could build it the way you want it, but he does things with his hands that honestly very few kids we’ve ever had can do. His ability to drive a ball the other way with power is really impressive.”

Corbett and Bowlin said that as the game progressed, hitters throughout the lineup did a better job of adjusting to Wentz’s

Huskers take defensive gem, 3-1

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. — Chants of “Goooo Biggg Redddd” filled Kauffman Stadium on Wednesday night, marking the first time in five years the Kansas University baseball team had been forced to deal with the famous rallying cry of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Renewing their former Big 12 rivalry for one night at the home of the world champion Kansas City Royals, the Jayhawks and Huskers waged a defensive showdown in front of a crowd of 2,368 fans and combined for just 11 hits in a 3-1 Nebraska victory.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR ALAN CLOTHIER THANKS THOSE IN ATTENDANCE at his signing ceremony Wednesday at LHS.

When Lawrence High senior Alan Clothier considered playing college sports, he always assumed his future was going to be in football.

But his thinking changed when he started participating in all-star wrestling events following his Class 6A state title at 182 pounds in February. It started a quick round of recruiting, which officially ended Wednesday when Clothier signed his letter of intent to wrestle at Appalachian State in North Carolina.

“I always wanted to play football since I was little,” said Clothier, who started at quarterback for the last three seasons. “Me and my mom talked about it, and we looked at the options. Appalachian State was one of them, and I went to visit the school, and it was good place.

I loved everything about it.

That was the choice.”

Easy for him to say. After a pair of blockbuster trades at the top of the draft, Goff and Wentz are expected to be the first two names off the board when the first round starts at a downtown Chicago theater tonight.

KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Little solid in Korean League

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball guard Mario Little averaged 16.8 points and 4.1 rebounds a game this past season for Anyang Korea Ginseng Corporation, which went 3428 overall and advanced to the semi- Little finals of the Korean League playoffs.

The city of Anyang is just a few miles south of Seoul.

The 6-foot-6, 28-year-

old Little hit 52.7 percent of his shots, including 35.8 percent of his threes. It’s not known whether he’ll be back in Korea again next season. Tryouts for the KBL are held in July in Las Vegas. l

Mock draft: Chad Ford’s latest mock draft for ESPN, which was released on Tuesday, has KU freshman forward Cheick Diallo being selected No. 27 in the first round by the Toronto Raptors.

“Diallo didn’t really do much at Kansas this year, but that won’t stop a team like the Raptors from grabbing him,” Ford wrote. “He is tough and athletic, and he might

have the best motor in the draft. He’s very, very raw. But had he stayed in school another year, he probably would have been a lottery pick. That makes him good value here.”

Draftexpress.com has Diallo as the third pick of the second round by the Los Angeles Clippers; Wayne Selden Jr. the 12th pick of the second round

by Utah; and Perry Ellis the 29th pick of Round Two by Sacramento. Ellis has been working out in Houston, Selden in Los Angeles and Diallo in South Carolina preparing for individual workouts with NBA teams.

NBAdraft.net, by the way, has Diallo being

taken No. 23 in the first round by Boston, Selden the 19th pick of the second round by Detroit and Ellis the 25th pick of the second round by Brooklyn.

Of Selden’s chances, Ford wrote: “Selden put together the best year of his three-year career at Kansas, but it still hasn’t been enough to get him firmly back into the first round. He was more aggressive as a scorer this season, and improved his jump shot significantly over the course of the past three years. When he gets going, he can be a force offensively. But his inconsistency likely keeps him somewhere in the second round.”

but he could never firmly find a place in the rotation at Kansas, mostly because of constant run-ins with head coach Bill Self.

Maturity is a major quesl tion mark for him. He’ll Greene signs with likely go undrafted.” l Goldfeder: Former KU No. 7: ESPN has ranked guard Brannen Greene, who has declared for the KU’s recruiting class sevNBA Draft after three enth in the country so seasons at KU, recently far.

and that would’ve opened up the game. That’s one of the best double plays you’re ever gonna see turned, even in the big leagues. We played really well defensively tonight. To hold ’em to three runs is as good as we could’ve hoped for.”

Starting pitcher Hayden Edwards was responsible for at least part of that. And the Kansas City native, who was drafted by the Royals out of high school, said getting the start at The K was a dream come true.

Edwards found out he would start Wednesday’s game a little less than 24 hours before the first pitch.

He said he had an inkling that things were headed that way but did not know for sure until Tuesday.

That, he said, allowed him to keep his nerves in check, and he responded by striking out the side in the first inning.

“I couldn’t ask for better than that,” Edwards said. “There’s nothing really (better) than getting to pitch at one of the nicest ballparks in America for the team you grew up watching.”

Price, 4-1 all-time as the KU head coach at Kauffman Stadium, said he handed the ball to Edwards hoping to tap into some success from the past.

“That’s the reason he got (the start),” Price joked. “We were 4-0 against Missouri here, and all four times we started a Kansas City guy.

It worked before, but it didn’t work tonight.”

That fact made it even easier for the Jayhawks to fully soak up the experience and enjoy everything the day had to offer, which started with lunch and a tour of the facilities and included a pregame visit from Royals general manager Dayton Moore.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the big stage, lights on, everyone’s in the crowd. I was fired up to play,” said McLaughlin, who led KU with a 2-for4 showing at the plate.

Added Wright: “Any time you get to play in a major-league stadium, it’s a blessing, and you just gotta be thankful you were able to do it.”

Free State won’t need to prepare for Overland Park Aquinas right-hander Riley Pint, potentially the first overall pick of the draft.

As for Wentz, the Firebirds would like nothing better than to deny him a state title and then watch him work his way to dominance in the major leagues.

“Getting home from my 9-to-5 job some day, turning on the TV and saying, ‘Oh, yeah, I got a bunt single off that guy,’” Corbett said.

That bunt single was a start. The Firebirds would like to get one more chance at a better finish.

In his four-year wrestling career, Clothier finished with a 150-8 record, including 102 wins by fall and two state titles.

Twice he was named the Sunflower League’s Wrestler of the Year.

A few weeks after winning his last state championship, Clothier participated in Metro Classic all-star wrestling dual in March, matching up against one of the top wrestlers from Missouri.

“I was driving home, and I’d been wrestling with some good guys,” Clothier said. “I fell back in love with that. After that, I decided I wanted to do wrestling.”

A month later, Clothier finished sixth at the NHSCA national wrestling tournament in Virginia Beach.

That’s where he met coaches from Appalachian State and set up an official visit.

After his visit in North Carolina, he took another visit to a junior college, and that’s when he knew he wanted to attend Appalachian State.

Clothier chose the Mountaineers over Newman University, which Clothier said he nearly signed with before receiving interest from other schools at the all-star events.

“It always sat in the back of my head. It was always something, ‘Maybe, if football didn’t work out…’ I’m happy I have wrestling to kind of fall back on,” Clothier said. “I’m excited, and Appalachian State — the wrestling team

— is coming up. They are starting to become really good. They have some solid wrestlers.

I’m happy I get to join the family.”

Munsch celebrates Free State High senior pitcher Trevor Munsch signed his letter of intent to play college baseball at the University of Oklahoma in November, but he celebrated his signing on Wednesday in the FSHS outdoor athletic facility.

Munsch, a 6-foot-4

left-hander, led the Firebirds to a Class 6A state title last season, pitching a complete game in the state semifinals.

Along with Munsch, Hunter Gudde signed to play baseball at Johnson County CC, and Kendell Fritzel inked with Baker University.

“It’s good for the parents and coaches,” Munsch said. “I don’t like to be praised like that.

But you have to do it for them. I was happy to sit in there and see everyone supporting me and my two other teammates — just how far we came. It’s pretty special.”

With Oklahoma in town this weekend to face Kansas University, Munsch plans to watch the Sooners play on Friday and Sunday. He’ll miss Saturday’s game because of prom, but was glad to have his recruitment out of the way before his senior year started.

“I’m just focusing on getting better every game and getting us another state championship,” Munsch said, “which I think we’re going to do.”

Woodland hitting it long, crooked J-W Staff Reports

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland ranks first on the PGA Tour with an average driving distance of 313.1 yards, but 184th in driving accuracy and

115th on the 2016 money list.

Back working with world-renowned swing coach Butch Harmon, Woodland is looking to improve his World Golf Ranking, which has slipped to 78th.

He tees off at 7:40 a.m. in today’s first round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Woodland continues to struggle out of the sand, where he ranks 108th in sand-save percentage (49.12 percent).

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

White Sox keep rolling The Associated Press

American League White Sox 4, Blue Jays 0 Toronto — Dioner Navarro hit a go-ahead, tworun triple in the seventh inning, and Chicago beat Toronto on Wednesday night for its sixth straight win.

Jose Quintana (3-1) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings for Chicago, which at 16-6 is 10 games above .500 for the first time since Sept. 25, 2012. Quintana allowed five hits and walked three, improving to 4-0 with a 0.68 ERA in four starts at Toronto. He has won consecutive starts and lowered his ERA to 1.47, passing teammate Chris Sale for fourth-best in the AL. Zach Duke, Nate Jones and David Robertson pitched an inning each, finishing Chicago’s major-league-leading fifth shutout.

Marco Estrada (1-2) gave up one hit through six innings but was knocked out in the seventh. Estrada allowed three runs and three hits in 62⁄3 innings and is winless in three starts.

Chicago’s three-game sweep was the first by a visitor at Toronto since the Los Angeles Angels from Sept. 10-12, 2013.

Shut out for the first time this season, Toronto has lost six of eight.

Todd Frazier singled to begin the seventh, and Melky Cabrera hit into a forceout. Brett Lawrie walked, Avisail Garcia struck out, and Navarro got his fifth career triple, a drive off the wall in right-center.

Jesse Chavez relieved, and Austin Jackson tripled. During the next atbat, plate umpire John Tumpane ejected Blue Jays manager John Gibbons for arguing. It was the first ejection of the season for Gibbons, who came out and continued arguing with Tumpane and crew chief Dan Iassogna.

Orioles 3, Rays 1 St. Petersburg, Fla. — Joey Rickard hit a threerun home run, and Chris Tillman gave up two hits in 62⁄3 innings to help Baltimore break a threegame losing streak.

Rickard’s second home run of the season came off Matt Moore in the fifth inning after Nolan Reimold walked and Jonathan Schoop singled. It was only the third home run in eight games for the Orioles, who have scored just five runs in their last four games. Tillman (21) tied a career high with nine strikeouts.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX CATCHER DIONER NAVARRO, right, celebrates with third-base coach Joe McEwing after hitting a two-run triple. The White Sox defeated the Blue Jays, 4-0, on Wednesday night in Toronto.

Tigers 9, Athletics 4 Detroit — Justin Verlander pitched impressively into the seventh inning, J.D. and Victor Martinez both homered, and Detroit beat Oakland.

Detroit manager Brad Ausmus shuffled his lineup before the game, moving J.D. Martinez from fifth to second in the batting order as he switched spots with Justin Upton.

The moves paid off when J.D. Martinez hit a threerun homer in the second inning. Victor Martinez added a three-run shot of his own in the sixth.

Verlander (2-2) allowed three runs and five hits in 61⁄3 innings, his third straight quality start since allowing seven runs against Pittsburgh on April 11.

Sonny Gray (3-2) lasted only two innings in the shortest start of his bigleague career. He allowed four runs, two hits and four walks, throwing 65 pitches.

Rangers 3, Yankees 2 Arlington, Texas — Elvis Andrus had a tiebreaking RBI triple, and Texas beat New York, when former Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez hit his 100th homer in the stadium.

A-Rod’s 690th career homer gave him triple digits in the Rangers’ ballpark. He hit 86 at home for Texas from 2001-03 and has 14 more in 65 games as a visitor there — first with Seattle before his big deal with the Rangers, and after being traded to the Yankees.

Andrus tripled into the right-center field gap in the sixth, a ball that rolled to the wall after Rougned Odor drew a two-out walk off CC Sabathia (12), to snap a 2-all tie.

Martin Perez (1-2) struck out three while allowing two runs and six hits over six innings.

Carlos Santana had three hits, and the Indians avoided losing to the Twins on a walk-off hit for the third consecutive night. Cody Allen picked up his seventh save in seven tries after giving up a game-winning hit to Miguel Sano in the ninth inning on Tuesday night.

Berrios (0-1), the top pitching prospect in the Twins farm system, gave up five runs and six hits with five strikeouts in four innings. Byung Ho Park hit his fifth homer of the season and Danny Santana had three hits and an RBI for Minnesota.

National League Giants 13, Padres 9 San Francisco — Brandon Belt was a homer short of the cycle and drove in five runs, Hunter Pence drove in a pair on three hits, and San Francisco completed a threegame sweep by beating San Diego.

Jeff Samardzija (3-1) went 52⁄3 innings and snapped a tie with a tworun single for the Giants, who won their fifth in six games.

Joe Panik, Brandon Crawford, Trevor Brown and Gregor Blanco also drove in runs for the Giants, who reached a season high in runs. Pence and Matt Duffy each had three hits.

Samardzija won despite allowing a seasonhigh five runs on five hits.

Phillies 3, Nationals 0 Washington — Philadelphia’s Jeremy Hellickson allowed two hits over seven innings, his teammates eventually took advantage of Washington’s sloppiness to push across some runs, and the Phillies beat Bryce Harper and the Nationals.

Philadelphia, which entered the series below .500, will try to complete a three-game sweep of the NL East-leading Nationals on Thursday.

Unbothered by the temperature in the low 50s or intermittent drizzles, Hellickson (2-1) struck out eight and lowered his 2016 ERA from 5.21 to 3.81. He gave up NL batting leader Daniel Murphy’s ground-rule double in the second inning and Danny Espinosa’s 500th career hit on a bunt single in the fifth — and that was it.

Angels sweep K.C. Anaheim, Calif. (ap) — Mike Trout hit a tying two-run homer, Yunel Escobar put the Angels ahead with a solo shot in the sixth inning, and Andrelton Simmons also went deep to power Los Angeles to a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night.

Escobar, the Angels’ leadoff hitter, drove Chris Young’s 3-1 pitch to center field for his third homer of the season leading off the sixth to put the Angels ahead 3-2. He had four hits in Tuesday night’s 9-4 victory.

Simmons ended the scoring in the seventh with his first homer as an Angel. His other 31 came with the Atlanta Braves, who sent the two-time Gold Glove shortstop to the Angels in a trade for Erick Aybar in November.

Fernando Salas (1-1) got the victory in relief and Joe Smith got three outs for his second save in as many chances as the Angels swept the threegame series.

Nick Tropeano pitched 51⁄3 innings for the Angels, allowing two runs

and eight hits with six strikeouts.

Eric Hosmer hit a two-run homer off the 25-year-old right-hander in the first, extending his

hitting streak to a careerbest 17 games. Tropeano departed after giving up his third walk of the game with the score tied 2-all.

Salas came in and Paulo Orlando greeted him with a single. Jarrod Dyson followed with a fielder’s choice grounder that put runners at the corners, and Dyson got into scoring position by stealing second. But Alcides Escobar grounded out to third.

Young (1-4) allowed three runs and three hits over 52⁄3 innings. The righty has allowed at least one home run in each of his first five starts.

Tropeano, who came in having allowed two home runs in his first 751⁄3 innings in the big leagues, saw his first pitch to Hosmer end up in the rock pile in left-center following a one-out single by Mike Moustakas.

But Trout erased that deficit in the fourth with his fifth homer, driving an 0-2 pitch over the trees in center field after a leadoff single by Rafael Ortega.

“It’ll be exciting to see where we both fall, and hopefully we play each other for a long time,” Wentz said.

Goff and Wentz share the same agency, Rep 1 Sports, and got to know each other when they trained together while preparing for the draft.

“I think our careers will kind of be linked together for forever,” Goff said.

“But yeah, we’re friendly and competitive, just like any other quarterbacks that train together, and had a good time getting to know him.”

For a long time, it looked as if quarterback was the least likely possibility for the No. 1 pick.

Tennessee, which drafted Marcus Mariota in the first round a year ago, was connected to Mississippi offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil for the top spot.

Everything changed two weeks ago when the Titans traded the top selection and two other

picks to Los Angeles for a package that included the Rams’ first-round picks in each of the next two drafts. Then Cleveland traded the No. 2 pick to Philadelphia, and the top of the first round had a whole new look.

“It was exciting,” Wentz said. “Obviously you’re aware of what the teams kind of need a little bit, and my agents kind of filled me in a little bit. But it was exciting. Anytime there’s movement in the draft, it’s always fun.”

The 6-5, 310-pound Tunsil, who helped clear the way for the Rebels’ prolific rushing attack, brushed off the personal fallout from the trades like he discards would-be tacklers.

“Things happen for a reason, and whatever team I get to go to, I’ll be happy with,” he said.

After Goff and Wentz go in the top two spots, the real drama begins at No. 3 with the Chargers.
