If Lawrence voters want to build a new police headquarters without raising taxes, they may have to live with less spending for parks and recreation and the delay of several major road projects, according to a new plan put together by City Hall leaders.

City commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting got a glimpse of a first draft of how a $26 million police headquarters project could be built without raising either sales or property taxes.

“If we’re saying we don’t want to raise taxes, we’re going to have to reprioritize,” said City Manager David Corliss, who drafted the plan but stopped short of recommending it Tuesday.

Senate OKs bill to end tax break for pipelines

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A Kansas Senate committee advanced a bill Tuesday that would end the practice of giving automatic 10-year property tax exemptions to companies that build new oil and gas pipelines in Kansas.

It was not immediately

clear, however, whether the bill could become a vehicle for other tax measures to be added as amendments when it’s debated by the full Senate in an effort to fill the state’s projected $600 million budget shortfall for the next fiscal year.

That pipeline tax abatement was enacted in 2006, mainly through the efforts

March 26. That’s more than $2,000 better than any of his competitors.

If you remember, the top three vote winners in next Tuesday’s election will receive a seat on the commission. So, Boley finished the primary right on the edge.

Here’s a summary of all the candidates’ fundraising activity. You can see their complete reports that list the names of individual donors and how much the candidates are spending on advertising and such at the Douglas County Clerk’s website at douglascountyks.org. l Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation to Boley were: Michael Wasikowski, an operations research analyst for U.S. government; Ellen Reid Gold, a retired professor; NE Kansas Building & Construction Trades Council; and Michael Wasikowski again.

Individuals are allowed to give a maximum of $500 before the primary election and another $500 after the primary. Wasikowski’s donations met that requirement, according to the report filed by Boley’s campaign. l Matthew Herbert, a Lawrence High teacher and owner of a property management company, raised $3,075. Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation were: Mike Wasikowski, an operations research analyst for U.S. government; and the Kansas Realtors PAC. Those of you who look at Herbert’s filing may notice a $150 donation from Oread LLC. To limit confusion, that company is not associated with The Oread hotel.

Herbert has been critical of City Commission action to give tax breaks to hotel companies, including The Oread.

Oread LLC is a company controlled by Lawrence developer and apartment complex owner Duane Schwada. l Stan Rasmussen, an attorney for the U.S. Army, raised $5,310 during the period. Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation were: LBRE, LLC, a real estate organization; Anderson Family Trust; Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union #441; NE Kansas Building and Construction Trades Council; and the Kansas Realtors PAC. Rasmussen was in the news recently for his previous acceptance of about $4,500 in contributions from the Crossland family and its businesses, which are based in southeast Kansas and noted for support of conservative causes across the state.

Rasmussen’s most recent report listed no contributions from that family because he returned them. l Terry Riordan, a

current city commissioner and a Lawrence physician, raised $6,063 during the period. However, $2,728 came from a loan from himself. Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation were: Kansas Realtors PAC. l Bob Schumm, a current city commissioner and retired restaurant owner, raised $4,285 during the period. Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation were: William and Karla Fleming, an attorney in real estate development; Treanor Consulting, a local architecture and development firm; Flint Hills Development Group, a developer in the East Lawrence warehouse arts district; Sally Hare-Schriner, an arts educator; and Daniel Schriner, a builder/filmmaker. l Leslie Soden, the owner of a Lawrence pet sitting company, raised $2,765 during the reporting period. Contributors who gave the maximum $500 donation were: Elaine St. James, a writer.

It is important to remember that this most recent report covers just one reporting period.

There have been three periods during the campaign. When you add them all up, the fundraising race shakes out this way: l Rasmussen: $25,100 l Schumm: $18,440 l Riordan: $14,728, although he has given himself more than $3,000 in loans. l Boley: $13,041 l Herbert: $9,900 l Soden: $6,984 In case you are wondering, the he relatively new local PAC Lawrence United has not been a big player yet in this election.

Two years ago it was one of the bigger spenders on the campaign scene.

But this time the group, which promotes a progrowth agenda, has been quiet.

The group reported that it received no donations during this most recent period, and that it only spent $99 on some campaign analytics.

The group, however, still has more than $15,000 left over from the last election that it could spend in the final days of the campaign. No word on whether the group plans to become active in the closing days of the race.

The General Election is on Tuesday.

are scheduled 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday, and each project lasts one to five days.

In addition to learning how to work in a group, the kids learn how the work they are doing fits into the big picture, Hornbaker said.

“We try to make sure that the kids understand their value in volunteering,” she said.

Spots in the program tend to go fast, Hornbaker said. To offer more volunteer opportunities, the United Way has added three projects to the program this year: Penn House, Farm to School and the recently founded Sunrise Project. The Sunrise Project is in the process of purchasing the vacant eastern Lawrence property that formerly housed Sunrise Garden Center.

Melissa Freiburger, codirector of the Sunrise Project, said youths in the summer program will focus on community gardening, including work in the Lawrence Community Orchard, 830 Garfield St. Freiburger, whose daughter participated in Summer of Service last summer, said she is happy to be able to offer another opportunity for youth engagement.

“Youth really want a way to plug in and learn new skills, be in new environments and meet new people while doing something productive for the community,” Freiburger said.

As an alternative to the group projects, the program also offers more flexible internships, where participants volunteer individually with the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen or the Lawrence Humane Society.

Free State High School principal opts to resign

By Elliot Hughes Twitter: @elliothughes12

Ed West, the principal of Lawrence Free State High School since the 2008-2009 school year, will resign from his position to become the principal at Shawnee Heights High School in Topeka, pending school board approval.

“During the last seven years, Ed has developed a great rapport with staff, students and parents that has helped Free State High School to build upon its

reputation for excellence,” Superintendent Rick Doll said in a news release. “He is a valued member of our administrative team and has served as a leader in our equity work, effecting posi- West tive change among his school community and districtwide.”

West will officially leave his post June 30. The Lawrence school district will immediately begin its search for a new principal, who will be the third in

The school opened in 1997.

“I have appreciated the opportunities afforded me by the Lawrence Public Schools,” West said in a statement. “It has been an honor to be a part of this cohesive learning community, where students, staff and parents truly value education. Accepting this new challenge was definitely a bittersweet decision for me, because I am passionate about Lawrence Free State High School.”

Prior to arriving at Free State, West served four years as principal of Jefferson West High School in Meriden, five years as principal at St. Marys High School in St. Marys and three years as assistant principal at Hutchinson High School in Hutchinson.

He also taught math and coached basketball, cross country and track at Washburn Rural High School in Topeka in the 1990s.

Topeka — Kansas collected $11 million less in taxes than expected last month, and top Republican legislators acknowledged Tuesday that they’ll be forced to consider larger tax increases than anticipated to balance the state budget.

The Department of Revenue reported tax collections of about $391 million in March, when officials expected $402 million, a shortfall of 2.8 percent. Since the current fiscal year began in July 2014, the state has collected almost $4 billion in taxes — still $48 million, or 1.2 percent, short of expectations.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the GOP-controlled Legislature must close a budget shortfall projected at nearly $600 million for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Senators and House members are negotiating over a $15.5 billion spending plan and anticipated having to raise about $140 million in new revenues.

“It means I have to adjust for $11 million,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, an Andover Republican.

The tax collections are pegged to a financial forecast made in November. Brownback State officials and university economists plan to meet April 20 to issue a new forecast to guide lawmakers in making their final budget and tax decisions in late April and early May. “It makes you wonder if there isn’t going to be a revision downward to some small extent,” said House Taxation Committee Chairman Marvin Kleeb, an Overland Park Republican. “It means we’re going to have to take a look at a revenue piece of it and see if we have to add a little bit more.”

The budget shortfall arose after Brownback pushed lawmakers to cut personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013, to stimulate the economy. The state cut its top rate 29 percent and exempted 281,000 business owners and 53,000 farmers altogether.

Jury selection continues in murder retrial

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

The second day of jury selection in the retrial of Martin Miller, who was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife more than 10 years ago, concluded Tuesday with 48 potential jurors selected for the jury panel.

Defense attorney Richard Ney and prosecutors Andy Bauch and Mark Simpson will work to pair down the 48 to the eventual 14 jurors today.

Twelve jurors will ul-

timately decide the case, but two alternates will be selected in case something happens to the selected 12 over the twoweek-long trial.

Simpson and Miller Bauch say Miller, a former Lawrence carpenter and Christian school leader, strangled his wife in her sleep because he had been having an affair with another woman and he wanted to collect $300,000 in life insurance money. Ney

argues that Mary Miller died of natural causes.

A Douglas County jury convicted Miller, 56, in 2005 of first-degree murder in the July 28, 2004, death of Mary E. Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home. The Kansas Court of Appeals ruled in February 2014 that Miller should get a new trial based on errors in the jury instructions during his initial trial.

About 100 potential

jurors came to the courthouse Monday for voir dire, or jury selection, and about half were dismissed by Tuesday afternoon after a tedious one-by-one individual interviewing process. Later, about 10 more jurors were dismissed during public voir dire for various reasons, including having prior knowledge of the case and admitting a prejudice toward Miller because he had an extramarital affair.

Jury selection will continue this morning.

received from a Leadership Kansas classmate of mine, several businesses he owns, and his family.

These were some of the very first contributions I received, and at the time, I was appreciative and excited for the investment in my campaign.

However, I was naive to not recognize the potential for concern in receiving a large sum of money from a single business interest. To compound this error in judgment, I have now learned that Crossland Construction was one of the bidders on the City’s new wastewater treatment project, and that troubles me greatly.

While I do not feel that I’ve been inappropriately influenced by the contributions, I understand why people may question that. I can’t just talk about transparency and trust. I must also act with integrity.

“This has been a good learning experience for me, and I am trying to do everything I can to make it right. On Monday morning, I contacted the Kansas Governmental Ethics Office for information on how to return the funds even though the checks were cashed and the money spent during the primary. Based on their advice, refund checks were mailed on Monday afternoon to Mr. Crossland, his family and his businesses.”

GOP complains Dem used ‘inflammatory language’

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — A special investigative committee of the Kansas House will meet at 2 p.m. today to consider a formal complaint lodged by nine Republican members of the House Education C o m m i t - Winn tee against the ranking Democrat on that panel, Rep. Valdenia Winn, of Kansas City, Kan. The complaint alleges that Winn, used “inflammatory language,” including accusations of racism against supporters of House Bill 2139, which would have repealed an

existing law that allows undocumented immigrants to pay in-state tuition at Kansas colleges and universities if they meet all other residency requirements.

According to the complaint, the incident occurred March 19 when the committee was preparing to vote on whether to advance the bill to the full House.

The complaint alleges that when Winn was recognized to speak about the bill, she used “inflammatory language and inferences toward the committee or anyone who would support such a bill.”

According to a transcript of a portion of that meeting, which is attached to the complaint, when Winn was recognized to speak on the bill, she stated:

“I have dreaded this day because this is a racist, sexist, fear-mongering bill that I would like first to apologize to the progressively-minded people of Kansas who are appalled that we are turning back the hands of time, um, regarding to, and I am going to use strong language, Jim Crow tactics, and once again making Kansas a laughingstock.”

She continued: “I want to apologize to the students and their parents whose lives are being hijacked by the racist bigots who support this bill because this bill is not an act of” ...

At that point, Rep. John Barker, R-Abilene, interrupted to object, saying: “She just referred to this committee as racist.”

“I said supporters,”

Winn replied. “I am not saying anything, but you know what, you can do anything you want, but I am going to say what I have to say because if the shoe fits, if the shoe fits, it fits. But this is an example of institutional racism, not individual racist, institutional racism because it deals with societal structural changes.”

The committee eventually voted to table the bill.

Under rules of the Kansas House, the investigative committee could vote to recommend that Winn be reprimanded, censured or expelled, but any such action would require a two-thirds majority vote by the full House.

It could also recommend that no action be taken.

Winn was not available for comment Tuesday.

much additional revenue the bill would generate because nobody knows yet what new pipelines will be built in the future.

But some lawmakers are concerned that the bill could become a vehicle to repeal other kinds of property tax exemptions, including those for wind energy production and transmission.

“It very well could be,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka.

He said another tax measure many Republicans have sought is to repeal the so-called “homestead” exemption for residential property taxes. That law exempts the first $20,000 of assessed valuation on a home from the statewide 20-mill property tax that funds public schools.

But Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, who chairs the Assessment and Taxation Committee, said it was not his intent to create a vehicle for other tax bills.

“We passed it out on its merits,” Donovan said.

“There were no schemes or anything afloat that I know of.”

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson, said the bill will likely come up for debate by the full Senate in May, after lawmakers return for the final wrap-up portion of the session.

Denning said when the 2006 law was passed, many lawmakers thought the Keystone pipeline would provide a kind of “on ramp” that would enable Kansas oil producers to ship their oil to Cushing, Okla., home of one of the largest crude oil storage hubs in the United States. But he said that turned out not to be the case.

He said Kansas may have another opportunity soon because of increased oil production in northern Colorado.

Out-of-state relatives complicate wedding plans Dear Annie: My son lives in California and is going to marry a local girl in the fall. Our entire family lives in the Midwest.

My husband and I, along with our daughter’s family, will attend. But I know it is far too expensive for any of my relatives to be there.

Should they receive invitations even though we know they can’t come? I don’t want it to seem like a gift grab. Do I have a “meet the bride and groom” party in our hometown after the wedding? What is the proper procedure?

I have another question, too. My husband and I are retired, but are giving our son and future daughter-in-law a large sum of money to help with wedding

TV reboot trend is saddening Adam Richman gets a new show with a pretty familiar angle. “Man Finds Food” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Travel) sends the familiar actor/host/spokesperson on a nationwide search for unique and out-of-the way eating establishments. According to the network, some are not merely off the beaten path; they’re “off the grid.” Whatever that means.

Richman’s career on and off the Travel Channel has often had to do with food — and d e c i d edly large portions.

After all, he played God, albeit in the guise of a butcher, on the supernatural comedy “Joan of Arcadia,” way back in 2004.

Since then, he’s been filling our screens while stuffing his pie-hole on “Man v. Food,” “Iron Chef American,” “Man v.

Food Nation,” “Amazing Eats,” Epic Meal Time,” “Adam Richman’s Best Sandwich in America” and “Best Thing I Ever Ate.” Is it any wonder that he took off time (or at least took money) to be a spokesman for Zantac?

At least Adam Richman pretends to be on a new show every time he goes in search of falafel. Last week, network television took a downward turn when Fox and NBC announced “new” variations on old series, with their original stars. It was sad enough that the people at Fox had decided to reboot “The X-Files” for a six-episode “event.” They seemed to have overlooked the tepid response to two “X-Files” movies and the less-than-rapturous response to the “24” event they broadcast late last spring.

But that’s nothing compared to NBC’s decision to bring back “Coach,” along with its star Craig T. Nelson, fresh from playing the crusty old Zeek Braverman on “Parenthood.”

Maybe he’ll play “Coach” emeritus.

It saddens me to see these television “revivals.” It reminds me of Broadway, a cultural institution whose grip on America’s attention has been fading for the past 50 years.

wish to send a gift whether they attend or not. But you can skip more distant acquaintances, such as business associates or people you rarely contact. And should you decide to have an informal reception of your own after the wedding, that would be lovely and much appreciated.

As for expenses, your son should be covering most of them without your assistance.

Faith of exclusion not the only faith

EDITORIALS

Unfair split Changing a grant program for Kansas college students isn’t a show of support for private colleges; it’s a slap at public university students who are just trying to make ends meet.

I

ndependent private colleges are an important part of the state’s higher education system, but legislative changes that will result in most of the Kansas Comprehensive Grant funds going to students at those schools is out of whack.

As it stands now, as much as 84 percent of the need-based scholarship funding will go to Kansas residents who attend private institutions, whose total enrollment represents just 17.5 percent of the college students in Kansas. Students attending the six state universities and Washburn University — 82.5 percent of the state’s university enrollment — will share the remainder of the funding.

Traditionally, the grant funds were split equally between students at public and private schools, but a couple of legislative maneuvers upset that balance.

The Senate Ways and Means Committee added $2 million to the grant fund, raising the total to $17.7 million, but also added a proviso that 75 percent, or $13.3 million, of that amount would be reserved for private college students.

Later, the committee removed the extra $2 million, taking the total back to $15.7 million, but left the requirement that $13.3 million of that go to private college students, leaving just $1.4 million to be split among students at public universities.

The 84/16-percent split between private and public university students wasn’t just a mistake. Support for the action was confirmed last week when the Senate rejected an effort to amend the bill to restore the 50-50 public-private split for the fund.

Kansas Comprehensive Grants are distributed to Kansas residents based on financial need. They are intended to help individual students, not the schools they attend, and the new restrictions placed on the fund put students who choose a public university — and perhaps make that choice based at least partially on cost — at a serious disadvantage.

As we’ve noted before, a number of Kansas legislators apparently don’t hold the state’s system of higher education in very high regard, but if those legislators were targeting state universities with this action, they have missed the mark.

Instead, they have squarely hit a group of financially needy Kansas students who are trying to pay state university tuition that has been rising in recent years because of waning state support for those schools.

Again, independent private colleges serve an important role in Kansas higher education and are a great choice for many Kansas students, but tipping the competition for these need-based grants so far toward the private side just isn’t right or smart.

them to redeem tomorrow and those who feel it obligates them to restore yesterday. Last week, the latter made headlines — again.

In Arizona, a state senator suggested a law making church mandatory as a way of arresting what she sees as America’s moral decline.

When controversy erupted, Sylvia Allen said she couldn’t understand what the fuss was about.

In Indiana, meantime, the governor signed a law protecting businesses from anything that might infringe upon their “free exercise of

religion.” In other words, it protects their right to discriminate against gay people.

When controversy erupted, Gov. Mike Pence claimed this interpretation of the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” misreads its intent.

The senator’s ignorance and the governor’s disingenuousness offer stark illustration of what too often these days masquerades as faith.

Allen, like the Taliban before her, seems to believe faith is something you can coerce. Unfortunately for her, that’s expressly forbidden in the first words of the First Amendment to the Constitution that her oath of office requires her to support. She might want to read it sometime.

As to Pence, his claim that the law is being misread is undercut by the fact that it is being celebrated by anti-gay lobbyists. He has contended the RFRA is as innocuous as similar laws passed by other states and the federal government, a claim sharply disputed by law professor Garrett Epps, writing online for The Atlantic, who notes

there is language unique to Indiana’s law that seems designed to let businesses refuse service to gay people.

But the most damning witness against Pence has been Pence himself. Five times last Sunday, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked him a simple yes or no question: Does the law permit discrimination against gay people? Five times, he refused to answer. By Tuesday, Pence was promising to “fix” the miserable thing.

Stay tuned to see what that will mean.

Taken together, Allen and Pence exemplify a “faith” that has become all too common, a U-turn faith that seeks to return America to a mythic yesterday. Pence’s law would effectively allow businesses to give gay people the kind of mistreatment that was common 40 years ago, while Allen explicitly says she wants to go back to the way things were when she was a child.

For the record: Allen turns 68 this week, according to Wikipedia.

And so it goes with this faith of force and exclu-

Christian values To the editor: In this holy and most sacred season of the Christian calendar, all of us — both laity and clergy — must hold ourselves accountable to our faith. No scripture is more clear or easier to understand than Matthew 7:12 and Luke 6:31 that relate the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” or Matthew 25:39, that specifically mentions the sick, and 25:40 that states, “inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

We need to decide which comes first, party ideology or Christian responsibility. Since Jan. 1, 2014, the state of Kansas has refused to accept over $486,590,000 in Medicaid expansion funds while more than 100,000 Kansans remain without health insurance, some rural hospitals are on the brink of bankruptcy and rural doctors are struggling to keep serving their communities. In spite of sound testimony from many health care professionals and religious leaders, our legislators have turned their backs on our most needy citizens, the least of us.

We need to ask ourselves how this could happen and then ask our legislators why they let it happen. During this discernment process we would do well to remember Proverbs 15:3, “The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”

Graham Kreicker, Lawrence

Rock Chalk To the editor: This letter is in response to the March 27 letter from Leavenworth Rick. I can definitely detect the foul aroma of a cheap shot coming from Leavenworth.

Tell me, Leavenworth Rick, would you have written that letter if KU had beaten Wichita State? No, I don’t think so. You just thought you’d take a potshot at KU while they are down.

I got news for you: KU has won 13 national championships in basketball and track and field! How many has your school won? In basketball, KU plays one of the toughest schedules in the country every year. Most schools

would be delighted to have won 11 straight Big 12 championships and won a game in the NCAA. We are a little spoiled, having gone deep in the tournament most years and disappointed to have won only one game two years in a row in the NCAA. But we all know we have had a history of success in the way Bill Self has guided this program and know there is more in the future. Bill Self does not need advice and is impervious of cheap shots coming from Leavenworth. So, Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

Fluoride benefits To the editor: In the latest anti-fluoride screed, Richard Miller (March 30) once again beats the dead horse of false information, fear mongering, and fallacious reasoning to the issue of community water fluoridation. The safety and efficacy of fluoride, both topical and systemic, has been well demonstrated for over 70 years.

Despite Mr. Miller’s misinformation, no, fluoride is not a “medication,” and no, the fluoride used to prevent cavities, save billions of health care dollars as well as untold dental suffering is not “toxic industrial waste.” It doesn’t lower IQ, it doesn’t calcify your pineal gland, it doesn’t cause Alzheimer’s disease or any of those other trumped-up pseudoscientific accusations. It is a naturally occurring mineral that is normally present in most water supplies worldwide.

Fluoride is added to (and in some cases removed from) water supplies to maximize benefits.

Community water fluoridation was hailed by the Centers for Disease Control as one of the top 10 great public health achievements of the 20th Century, along with the discovery of antibiotics, automobile safety and healthier mothers and babies. It offers protection from the most common disease in the world, and particularly helps those who may not be able to afford dental care or have ready access to it. Why anyone would want to oppose a safe, effective and inexpensive health care measure that prevents pain and suffering is beyond me.

sion. Thank God it’s not the only faith there is. Indeed, in the same week Allen and Pence were making fools of themselves, a pastor in Miami was pushing for socially conscious redevelopment of a blighted inner-city community, a church in Los Angeles was hosting a panel on police-involved shootings and a preacher near Washington was recruiting men to mow lawns, clean up trash-strewn lots and mentor troubled boys.

This is the faith of sacrifice and service. Unlike the faith of force and exclusion, it gets no headlines, generates no heat. It just is.

But one is thankful it is.

One is glad for its example and reminder.

This week, Christians mark the long ago dawn when the Son rose. But if that faith means anything, it means the ability and imperative to face what is without fear. So faith ought not pine for the old days.

After all, dawn is the breaking of the new.

— Leonard Pitts Jr., is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 1, 1915: “The taste of vile soap, onions and pepper has greeted years the taste of many an innoago cent biting April fool today.

IN 1915 Every one is trying their best to catch the other fellow and they innocently fall into the tempters’ hands themselves before they have time to think twice. People passing up and down the street are making vain efforts to pick up packages, keys and coins only to find that they for some unaccountable reason are fastened to the sidewalk. Such biters give the silly, good natured grin as they pass on and realize they are one of the April fools. All possible ways of making people think something that is not are contrived in the minds of those who have already fallen.... A nickel fastened to the sidewalk on Massachusetts street by the means of solder and a nail made fun for the observers at the expense of dignified citizens of Lawrence who tried to increase their wealth unnoticed by the find.”

“City Engineer Dunmire is working today on plans for the repair of the retaining wall on the east side of the fill at the north end of Bridge street. The excessive weight has proven too much for the wall and it is beginning to sag. It is the intention of the engineer to reinforce the wall with new piles which will be driven near the old ones. The condition of the wall demands immediate attention as there is a great deal depending on the wall and the weakening of the retaining wall is a problem.”

“The contractors digging the new city waterworks well are expecting to have the work completed before the end of the week and the work turned over to the company for their approval. Only five more feet of sand must be removed before the required depth is reached.

Improving the availability of parking in downtown Lawrence is likely on the to-do list of the next City Commission, but candidates on Tuesday weren’t of the same mind on how to get the job done.

At a candidate forum hosted by Downtown Lawrence Inc., the six candidates floated ideas such as zoning changes, publicprivate partnerships, additional parking garages and increased availability of free parking as options.

Commissioner Terry Riordan said it may be time for the city to reconsider its zoning laws in downtown. Currently, much of downtown has a unique zoning designation that allows projects to be built without providing off-street parking. But as downtown has continued its trend of multistory office and apartment buildings, concern has grown that the district may run short of parking.

But Riordan said the city also should be prepared to be part of public-private partnerships that could add parking in downtown.

He noted the city owns numerous surface parking lots in downtown and said the city has a lot of opportunities to be creative with that property.

Candidate Leslie Soden

The plan centers on reducing for the next 20 years the amount of funding that would be available to the Parks and Recreation Department for capital improvements, major maintenance items and park expansion.

The plan also would delay several other nonparks and recreation projects. Those include: l The rehabilitation of Fire Station No. 1 — the station located downtown — would be moved from 2015-2016 to 20182019 l The reconstruction of Kasold Drive from Sixth Street to Bob Billings Parkway would be moved from 2016-17 to 2017-18 l Construction of 19th Street from Harper Street to the new VenturePark would be moved from

said she thinks an additional parking garage may be needed in downtown, but she cautioned against the public-private partnership model. Instead, she said the city could stop giving tax breaks to many of the new downtown projects and then invest a portion of those tax dollars into building new garages. She said if the city hadn’t approved a tax break for a pending expansion of the Eldridge Hotel — which is not providing new parking as part of its plan — the city perhaps could have built a new public garage at Seventh and Vermont streets or perhaps Ninth and Vermont streets.

“Then we would have public money being spent on public parking,” Soden said. “We need to use taxpayer dollars for straightforward public projects.”

Candidate Stan Rasmussen said he expects another parking garage and perhaps additions to existing garages will be needed in the foreseeable future. But he said the city also needs to rethink its parking strategy in downtown. He said a shortage of free parking may be hurting the downtown district, especially since other shopping districts — such as The Legends and Zona Rosa — don’t require shoppers to pay for parking.

“Whenever we give someone a $3 ticket (for over-parking) we really have soured someone on

their experience in Lawrence,” Rasmussen said.

Candidate Matthew Herbert stopped short of saying he would support another parking garage in downtown but expressed concern about allowing development to occur without providing offstreet parking.

“One of the reasons downtown isn’t the place some people want to go is because they can’t find a place to park,” Herbert said.

City Commissioner Bob Schumm said the city has historically added a parking garage about once a decade to downtown. It just added a new garage as part of the recent library project on Vermont Street.

“It is a very expensive proposition,” Schumm said of new parking garages. “But you can put decks on any one of those city-owned parking lots and create more space.

We do have to stay ahead of the curve.”

Candidate Stuart Boley said he understands there is a concern about parking in downtown, but he said he wants to think long term about solutions.

“I really like the human scale of downtown,” Boley said. “It is just such a comfortable place. I’m worried about more and more cars. I wonder what we lose if we do that.”

The City Commission General Election will be next Tuesday. The top three finishers will win at-large seats on the fivemember commission.

2016 to 2017 l The reconstruction of Wakarusa Drive from Inverness/Legends to Sixth Street would be moved from 2016-17 to 2018 l City funding to rebuild Queens Road in West Lawrence would be moved from 2017 to 2019 l Reconstruction of portions of East 23rd Street would be moved from 2018-19 to 2019-20 l Reconstruction of Kasold from Clinton Parkway to the entrance of Hy-Vee would be moved from 2018 to 2020 l Plans to find space to combine the city’s building inspections department and the planning office into a central “one-stop shop” location would be delayed until at least 2021 One project that wouldn’t get delayed is the rebuild of portions of Ninth Street as part of a program to create an arts corridor in East Lawrence. Corliss said the

project could use infrastructure sales tax money approved by voters in 2008, but that will require scrapping plans to rebuild Wakarusa Drive from Research Parkway to Clinton Parkway.

Commissioners took no action on the plan. A new City Commission will be seated April 14, a week after next Tuesday’s general election. A plan for a police headquarters — which was dealt a blow in November when voters rejected a sales tax for the project — is expected to be one of the first topics a new commission discusses.

But Commissioner Jeremy Farmer asked for the draft plan to be on Tuesday’s agenda to give the public an early look. He said he wants to give the plan serious consideration.

Koch donors emerge to defend brothers’ goals Fredreka Schouten USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Growing numbers of wealthy conservatives who help fund the political and policy network tied to Charles and David Koch are stepping into public view to defend the billionaire industrialists and their goals.

Donors to the Koch-affiliated Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce have penned at least eight newspaper opinion pieces recently, declaring their support for the Koch’s small-government, free-market agenda. The latest, signed by eight California residents, appeared this week in The Desert Sun of Palm Springs, Calif.

Wealthy allies ‘proud to associate’ step up to be counted in editorials

“We are proud to associate with the Kochs,” wrote the group, which included John Saeman, an investment firm founder. “The American Dream is simply too far out of reach for far too many people. Yet rather than help address the crisis, politicians from both parties have spent the past halfcentury making things worse.

“We’re working with the Kochs, Freedom Partners and others to reverse this trend,” they wrote.

Planned oil industry layoffs in the U.S. are approaching 100,000 in the past four months with more likely to come.

Oil-producing states such as North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana are catching the brunt of the cutbacks as consumers are enjoying cheaper gasoline prices brought on by a 55% drop in crude oil prices since June.

“The entire Midwest from Texas to North Dakota is really feeling the effects,” Moody’s Analytics economist Aaron Smith says.

About 91,000 energy-related job cuts have been made public since early December, says Continental Resources, the Oklahoma City-based oil producer, which has been tracking companies’ layoff announcements by the week. They came from oil exploration and production companies, oilfield services companies and manufacturers, such as U.S. Steel, that supply them. Some cuts have occurred, and most are expected this year.

Oilfield services companies, including Schlumberger and Baker Hughes, have announced about 69,000 layoffs, Continental’s count shows.

Oil and natural gas producers, including Chevron and BP, have said they’re chopping 10,000 jobs.

And manufacturers, such as those that make steel for oil pipes and storage tanks, plan about 11,700 reductions.

Low oil and gasoline prices should spur more consumer spending, a stronger economy and average monthly job growth of 270,000 this year, up from 260,000 in 2014.

Shrinking oil industry payrolls, however, are reshuffling states’ economic fortunes. New drilling techniques that siphon crude from shale rock fueled roaring job growth in states such as North Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

But North Dakota, which has led the boom, in February lost its place as the state with the lowest jobless rate for the first month since October 2008, as unemployment there rose to 2.9% from 2.8%. Nebraska claimed the top spot with a 2.7% rate.

In North Dakota, mining employment tumbled by 600 jobs in February alone, the Labor Department reports. There are 96 active drilling rigs in the state, down from 194 a year ago, according to the state Department of Mineral Resources.

JOB LOSSES IN OIL INDUSTRY Oil industry companies and manufacturers that supply them announced more than 90,000 layoffs from early December through March. Totals by month:

Lufthansa: Co-pilot had suffered from severe depression Video of crash said to be in circulation John Bacon and Melanie Eversley USA TODAY

The tragedy of the Germanwings crash in the French Alps last week intensified Tuesday with news that the co-pilot, who investigators believe crashed the plane deliberately, had told the flight school of the airline’s parent company, Lufthansa, that he had suffered “a serious episode of severe depression.”

Adding to the horror, European publications Paris Match and Bild said they received cellphone video, found in the wreckage, showing the final moments of the flight as the Airbus A320 plunged toward a steep ravine, the pilot apparently trying to break into the cockpit and the passengers screaming in terror.

Flight 9525 crashed on March 24, killing 150 people on board.

Lufthansa said co-pilot Andreas Lubitz told his flight school in 2009 that he had experienced severe depression. He was subsequently determined fit to fly.

On Monday, prosecutors in Duesseldorf revealed that Lubitz

had been treated for suicidal tendencies years ago and recently was deemed “unable to fly.”

“This is the single most outra-

geous situation I’ve encountered in 33 years as a law professor,” said David Gregory, Dorothy Day professor of law and executive director of the Center for Labor and Employment Law at St. John’s University. “There is every indication of criminal gross negligence, and some person or persons may be criminally prosecuted.”

The video has not been published. The two publications reported its contents, but French police called it a hoax. Bild said the authenticity was unquestionable.

Paris Match reported that cries of “My God” can be heard in several languages and there is metal-

lic banging, possibly the pilot trying to open the cockpit door.

The sounds appear to match background sounds captured by the cockpit voice recorder, the news weekly said.

“Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing,” the news weekly reported.

On Tuesday, Lufthansa addressed the financial implications of the crash. The airline said insurance companies are setting aside $300 million to cover compensation to families of the 150 people who died as well as the lost plane and other costs.

Honk if you love big honkin’, cool cars Chris Woodyard @ChrisWoodyard USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES The names are as familiar to car enthusiasts as they are to anyone who ever mixed up a batch of martinis: Coupe de Ville, Fleetwood, Eldorado and, of course, Continental.

In the 1950s and 1960s, they were the luxury barges of the “Mad Men” era, rolling symbols of American success and abundance. Then, as the age of fitness and non-fat yogurt dawned, Detroit couldn’t distance itself fast enough from its potbellied image. Automakers set out to banish gas-chugging, slope-sided cars largely unloved by all but a cadre of retirees and car buffs.

Now, after all of the talk about ditching the land yachts, big is back. After 13 years, Lincoln just retrieved the Continental name.

Ford Motor’s luxury brand is pegging itself to a large sedan unveiled for this week’s New York Auto Show. General Motors’ Cadillac, right in step, is pulling the sheet off a new flag-

ship sedan, the CT6, that carries inspiration from the past.

Detroit automakers now wear their midcentury heritage proudly at a time when cocktail culture has become cool again and there’s no shame in throwing an old Mel Tormé record on a a turntable. (Yes, a turntable — they’re back, too.)

Just as SUVs have been paroled from public-opinion jail, the new sedans arrive with the same promises of change. Sure, they’re huge by global standards, but they come packed with new engines that save gas and geekloads of technology.

As a Cadillac officials said at the 2011 unveiling of one of the stunning prototypes that would become a forerunner to the CT6, the brand is ready to embrace, rather than run from, its past.

After all, what’s not to like?

These days, midcentury dreamboats bring nothing but smiles.

They come from a time when, much as in today’s revived economy, there was much to celebrate. Suburbia sprawled and babies boomed. Those 1950s cars were the longest, widest, fastest and often the most outlandish that the world had seen.

They’re huge by global standards, but they come packed with new engines that save gas and geekloads of technology.

They dripped chrome, and their tailfins reached for the heavens.

Perhaps best of all, unlike today’s look-alike cars, they stood out from each other. Just ask John Ruth, who fell hard for a 1951 Kaiser Traveler Deluxe, a four-door with a back that opened up like a station wagon, because “it was different than any other car that I have seen.”

Or there’s Harold Tennen,

Koch network range from foundations and research groups to the grass-roots-focused Americans for Prosperity advocacy group and the Libre Initiative, focused on Latino outreach.

In January, about 450 supporters attended Freedom Partner’s annual winter gathering near Palm Springs, Calif., where organizers released a nearly $900 million, two-year budget to advance their causes. Organizers stress that the money will not all be spent on politics, but they have not disclosed details.

The staggering total — more than double what the Republican National Committee raised and spent during the 2012 presidential race — has caused panic among Democrats ahead of the 2016 elections.

The release of the budget figure and the increasing number of donors making their names and policy views public are the latest signs the Kochs and their allies are bringing a measure of open-

ness to their political operation.

Last year, Freedom Partners created the network’s first super PAC, disclosing names of over 150 contributors who donated $200 or more. (Trusts controlled by Charles Koch and David Koch donated nearly a quarter of the more than $28 million the super PAC raised in 2014 to help elect Republicans to Congress.)

Chris Rufer, the CEO of a California tomato-processing company, told USA TODAY that he donates between $500,000 and $1 million each year to the Koch network but is not concerned with short-term political gains.

Rufer, a Libertarian, said he’s more interested in changing the

Iraqi forces are on the verge of driving Islamic State militants out of Tikrit in what would be a breakthrough in the country’s battle against the extremists, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Tuesday.

The gains in the Iraqi city follow U.S. participation in the fight last week after Shiite militias failed to make any advances against the militants despite an overwhelming advantage in ground troops.

That might help convince Iraq’s government of the importance of U.S. help in its struggle with the militants, who swept into Iraq last year, seizing large chunks of territory.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider alAbadi announced on Twitter the “liberation” of the city, which is about 80 miles north of Baghdad and was the hometown of longtime dictator Saddam Hussein.

U.S. Central Command backed up al-Abadi’s comments, saying large portions of the mostly Sunni city have been recaptured.

Maj. Curtis Kellogg, a Central Command spokesman, said that Iraqi security forces have retaken

“culture” through supporting the foundations and think tanks backed by the network “than in trying to win elections today.”

Last week, he wrote an op-ed column in The New York Times declaring his support for a top Koch priority: jettisoning the Export-Import Bank. The federally run bank helps U.S. companies by subsidizing loans to foreign customers to help them buy U.S. products. Big-business interests, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association of Manufacturers, support the bank and want Congress to reauthorize the bank’s charter, which expires at the end of June.

Rufer and another regular attendee of the Koch gatherings, Minnesota broadcasting magnate Stanley Hubbard, said they disagree sharply with Democrats’ portrayal of the Kochs as powerhungry billionaires.

“They aren’t evil people trying to feather their own nests,” Hubbard said of the Kochs, worth an estimated $42.9 billion each.

“They’ve got it made.”

Iran deal unable to ensure lack of secret development Oren Dorell USA TODAY

As world powers and Iran moved closer to an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, the deal under discussion lacks guarantees that Iran won’t secretly try to develop nuclear weapons.

That is the conclusion of supporters and opponents of a deal, based on Iran’s refusal to give inspectors unfettered access to every suspected nuclear site.

It is an argument made by critics, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says Iran can’t be trusted to pursue only a peaceful program.

Supporters of an agreement acknowledge that its tough monitoring requirements may prove less than airtight to pre-

Just as designers today boast of startling technology like systems that keep cars in their lane, the 1950s and 1960s had their own attempts at wonder. The 1956 Chrysler had optional “highway hi-fi,” a built-in phonograph. The 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air had an optional electric shaver and a self-emptying ashtray. As if to prove nothing was too far out, Ford unveiled the model of the Nucleon, an atomic-powered car, in 1958.

Today, many of those old cars are instantly recognizable and appreciated, says McKeel Hagerty, a collectible-car expert who runs Hagerty Insurance, an outfit that insures old cars.

“They bring a lot of oohs and aahs,” he says. Now Detroit is ready to see whether a new Lincoln Continental and Cadillac CT6 can do the same.

Obama gives drug offenders break President reduces sentences for 22 Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

WASHINGTON President Obama commuted the sentences of 22 convicted federal prisoners Tuesday, shortening their sentences for drug-related crimes.

Eight of the prisoners to have their sentences reduced were serving life sentences. All but one of the 22 will be released July 28.

The White House said Obama made the move in order to grant to older prisoners the same leniency that would be given to people convicted of the same crimes

today.

“Had they been sentenced under current laws and policies, many of these individuals would have already served their time and paid their debt to society,” White House Counsel Neil Eggleston said in a statement. “Because many were convicted under an outdated sentencing regime, they served years ... longer than individuals convicted today of the same crime.”

In issuing the commutations Tuesday, Obama has more than doubled the number he’s granted in his presidency. Before Tuesday, he had issued just 21 and denied 782 commutations in more than six years. It was the most commutations issued by a president in a single day since President Clinton issued 150 pardons and

“I believe in your ability to prove the doubters wrong.”

President Obama, writing in letters to 22 prisoners whose sentences were commuted

40 commutations on his last day in office.

And it could represent the crest of a new wave of commutations that could come in Obama’s final two years in office. Last year, the Justice Department announced a new clemency initiative to try to encourage more low-level drug offenders to apply to have their sentences reduced.

That resulted in a record 6,561 applications in the last fiscal year,

at least two of which were granted commutations Tuesday, the Justice Department said.

Obama has been increasingly vocal about his intent to use his constitutional clemency powers more aggressively in his last two years as president. The Constitution gives the president the “power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States,” which includes the power to shorten sentences for those convicted of federal crimes.

“A lot of what we’re focused on is non-violent drug offenses where somebody might have gotten 25 years, and she was the girlfriend of somebody and somehow got caught up, and since then has led an exemplary life, but now really wants to be able to start a new career or something like

that,” Obama said in South Carolina in early March.

Obama wrote each of the 22 Tuesday, saying they had demonstrated the potential to turn their lives around.

“Now it is up to you to make the most of this opportunity. It will not be easy, and you will encounter many who doubt people with criminal records can change,” Obama wrote. “I believe in your ability to prove the doubters wrong.”

Of the 22 commutations granted Tuesday, 17 were for possession or trafficking in cocaine. The others were for methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana.

One was also convicted of a gun charge in addition to cocaine possession. Their convictions cover a 14-year span from 1992 to 2006.

FUROR OVER “RELIGIOUS FREEDOM” LAWS

INDIANA’S PENCE SEEKS TO ‘FIX’ LAW John Bacon USA TODAY

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence aggressively defended Indiana’s religious freedom law Tuesday but said he wants a bill on his desk by week’s end “making it clear the law does not allow businesses the right to deny services to anyone.”

“This law does not give anyone the right to discriminate,” Pence said at a news conference. “But I can appreciate that that has become the perception.”

Indiana is facing boycotts and condemnation from businesses and labor unions over its new law.

Despite uproar in Indiana, Arkansas eyes similar law Critics say the state is not paying attention to the national outcry

Maureen Groppe USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A “religious freedom” measure similar to Indiana’s is close to becoming law in Arkansas, despite the national uproar and economic boycott Indiana faces as Gov. Mike Pence scrambles to change his state’s law.

Arkansas lawmakers approved the bill on Tuesday, and Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has previously said he would sign the measure. The governor’s office said he would not comment until today.

The head of the Arkansas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union said lawmakers there were not paying any attention to what’s happening in Indiana.

“We have fought this battle before,” Executive Director Rita Sklar said. “Indiana makes bigger headlines than Arkansas, that’s all.”

But in Georgia, where lawmakers are almost out of time to complete work on their version of the legislation, opponents say the events in Indiana are helping them run out the clock.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that Indiana provided significant momentum for the opponents of the legislation,” said Anthony Kreis, a University of Georgia constitutional scholar.

Kreis said there’s a lot of talk in Georgia about avoiding “becoming the next Indiana.”

“That’s a phrase you hear a lot,” he said.

Indiana has been in the national spotlight since Pence signed into law last week legislation saying there has to be a compelling

Indiana has been in the spotlight since a controversial law was signed last week. government interest to burden someone’s guarantee under the First Amendment to freely exercise their religion.

Pence has said the law was not intended to allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians in providing services. But some backers of the bill have said it’s needed to protect businesses that don’t want to provide services like photography or flowers for wedding ceremonies of samesex couples.

The state is facing boycotts and condemnation from businesses and labor unions. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined a handful of other governors and mayors

Tuesday in banning travel by public employees to Indiana unless it’s related to public health and safety.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Tuesday that the public outcry in response to the law “is indicative of how this piece of legislation flies in the face of the kinds of values that people all across the country strongly support.”

But the lasting effect on other states considering similar legislation, and on national politics — particularly the 2016 elections — remains to be seen.

Gov. Mike Pence defends Indiana’s religious freedom law.

The state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which takes effect July 1, would prohibit laws that “substantially burden” a person’s freedom of religion unless the government can prove a compelling interest in imposing that burden.

Social conservatives pushed the law to protect Christian business owners — bakers, florists and photographers — who do not want to provide their products or services for same-sex weddings.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act generally did not apply to state and local laws, so states began passing their own companion measures.

Before Indiana, 19 other states enacted “religious freedom” laws.

Over the years, courts have been divided on whether to grant religious exemptions.

The Indiana law has drawn sharp criticism from LGBT advocates and some corporations.

The ACLU and the LGBT group GLAAD are among organizations pressing Pence to support the proposed Fairness for All Hoosiers Act to extend legal protections to the LGBT community.

Nine corporate CEOs sent Pence an open letter asking that the state “immediately enact new legislation that makes it clear that neither the Religious Freedom Restoration Act nor any other Indiana law can be used to justify discrimination based upon sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Pence called Tuesday for “a clarification, but also a fix.” Continuing a theme since signing the bill last week, he pressed his argument that the law and his state are not discriminatory.

Pence has consistently blamed “some on the left” and the national media with mischaracterizing the bill.

He again argued that the law mirrors the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed

by President Clinton in 1993.

“That may be true only if you’re using a funhouse mirror,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY, said Tuesday. Schumer said the federal law is less broad.

Miller, 55, allegedly used the funds for lavish meals, travel, clothing, gifts and entertainment in an alleged scheme that ran from 2010 to 2013. The SEC separately reached a $750,000 settlement with Polycom over inadequate internal expense controls.

Previously, price increases had been slowing. In January, Denver and Miami posted the sharpest annual gains, with prices rising 8.4% and 8.3%, respectively.

The offering is being handled by Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and Citigroup, according to GoDaddy’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

GoDaddy was founded in 1997 as Jomax Technologies, but the name was changed to GoDaddy in 1999.

GoDaddy first filed to go public in 2006, according to SEC filings, but later pulled the offering. It submitted a new IPO plan last year.

It was purchased by private-

equity firms KKR & Co., Silver Lake Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures in 2011.

The company had 12 million customers in 2014, 1.3 million more than it had in 2013, according to its GODADDY filings with the SEC. It generated $1.4 billion in total bookings in 2013, up from $753 million in 2009.

Despite growing sales, GoDaddy is not yet profitable. The company posted a net loss of $143.43 million in 2014.

That’s above the expected range, which earlier had put the value between $17 and $19 per share.

Investors are valuing GoDaddy using a multiple of cash flow and using Endurance International Group as its closest publicly traded peer, according to a statement from Renaissance Capital.

However, notes Renaissance, it could go higher than $20 per share. “GoDaddy’s profits are growing faster than Endurance, so investors may be willing to pay a premium for this,” the statement said.

GoDaddy is based in Scottsdale, Ariz. The shares will trade on the New York Stock Exchange

Historically, month has been sweet to investors, but April 29 meeting could be a factor this year Adam Shell USA TODAY

Wall Street will be showered in April with “Fed-speak” tied to the timing of interest rate hikes, setting the stock market up for a potentially turbulent month as the U.S. central bank weighs when to boost rates at a time when the allimportant quarterly profit-reporting season kicks off.

Investors this month move deeper into the post-patient world of the Federal Reserve. At its March meeting, the Fed removed the word “patient” from its policy statement, a move that paves the way for rate increases in coming months. The Fed has ruled out a hike this month.

Many Wall Street pros are betting on the first hike in September, but others have yet to rule out June.

Stocks have already experienced a major bout of turbulence.

In March, the Dow Jones industrial average closed up or down more than 100 points on 16 of 21 trading days, or over 75% of the time. April marks the final month in what traditionally is the best six-month period for stocks — so investors could begin adjusting their portfolios for the May-October period, which historically has been the worst six-month stretch.

Low rates have been cited as a key driver of higher stock prices since the bull market began in March 2009. Borrowing costs affect the pace of economic growth, the profitability of U.S. companies and the amount of risk investors are willing to take.

It is not uncommon for stocks to suffer more violent price

swings ahead of Fed rate-hike cycles as investors price in the impact of higher rates.

“The whole world will be focused on the Fed announcement on April 29,” says Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University-Channel Islands. “The market should get a clear signal on whether the interest rate liftoff will occur in June. Depending on the signal, the market will move significantly up (if a June hike is unlikely) or down (if a June hike is likely).”

Wall Street heads into the firstquarter earnings season looking at the prospect of Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index profits contracting. If the current 2.7% negative growth trajectory holds, it will mark the first negative quarter of earnings growth since the third quarter of 2009, according to Thomson Reuters. Earnings have taken a hit from the plunge in oil prices and the negative currency impact due to the strengthening dollar.

How profits come in will also be closely watched.

“I think the first-quarter earnings ... are much more important now than anymore Fed talk or action,” says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors.

How Greece’s talks with its eurozone creditors go, and how oil and the U.S. dollar behave could also affect the direction of stock prices.

And while the Fed meeting is likely to garner the bulk of the headlines, key economic releases and other events leading up to its late-month meeting will influence the Fed’s thinking on rates and cause markets to suffer periodic gyrations.

For ESPN.com’s 20th anniversary, the sports website and its mobile apps have gotten a makeover.

The original site, ESPNET SportsZone, launched in April 1995, was a collaboration between the sports media giant and Starwave, a company founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

Renamed ESPN.com in 1998, the site has become the most-visited sports site, reaching a record 126.5 million people globally in January, the most ever in the sports category, according to ComScore.

“It’s one of those rare brands that is extremely strong across every platform, and they reinforce one another, whether it’s listening to the radio, watching the games on TV or listening to podcasts on the phone on the way to work,” said Andrew Lipsman, vice president of marketing and insight at ComScore. “The connection with ESPN is very constant.”

Despite that success, ESPN needed to address its growing mobile audience, where it now gets about 60% of its traffic. “In the past, we would create products thinking about your computer screen first, then kind of shrinking them down,” said John Kosner, ESPN’s executive vice president of digital and print.

“This time around, we started thinking about the experience on your handset and expanded that up.”

Sports Business Journal’s Eric Fisher writes that “after years as distinct entities, ESPN online and mobile will present users with fundamentally the same design and personalized preferences that carry over from one platform to the other.”

The mobile apps were updated in February, and ESPN.com was updated throughout the day Tuesday, with the website becoming fully live by today.

The makeover has been a twoyear process that involved writing new code for each platform, Kosner says.

“In general, it’s much cleaner and more elegantly designed, and it’s going to be a faster experience.”

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

It’s hard to disparage a stock market that has posted nine straight quarterly gains, the best stretch since a 14-quarter run that ended in mid-1998.

But now that the first quarter is in the books for the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, which squeaked out a 0.4% gain despite wild price swings along the way, it’s time for investors to look ahead to the second quarter. Can the S&P 500 make it 10 straight quarters of gains? In general, how have stocks fared throughout history during the second quarter and, more specifically, which sectors of the market have turned in consistently solid performances?

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

post gains again in the second quarter, history says the odds are better than investors might think, Sam Stovall, U.S. equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ said in a client note.

“Only three other times since World War II has the S&P 500 witnessed at least nine straight quarters of price gains,” Stovall wrote. “Each of these prior times recorded price increases in their 10th quarter, with average gains of 8.1%.”

Second quarters have been profitable as well. Since 1945, the S&P 500 has recorded an average gain of 1.9% during the second quarter. “Performance was better during (pre-election) years, as the index gained an average 5.0% in the second quarter.”

The best sectors in the secondquarter since 1989 have been health care (up 3.5%, on average) and technology, up 3.2%.

Those pennies per share really do add up Q: How important are dividends?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: It’s easy to think dividends are the pennies a share that get added to your brokerage account each quarter. These seemingly small payments can add up into a major driver of shareholder wealth.

The total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 was 13.7% in 2014, which includes both stock-price appreciation and dividends, says S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Of the total return, dividends accounted for 16.8% of that amount. The percentage of total return from dividends was even higher in 2014 than it was in 2013 — when dividends accounted for 8.6% of the market’s 32.4% total return.

Longer term, dividends have been even more important. Dividends have accounted for roughly a third of the market’s annual total returns since 1988. And what makes dividends even more attractive is that they tend to hang in there — even when the stock market is having a bad year or is flat.

In 2011, the year the S&P 500 was essentially unchanged on a price basis, investors with dividends still earned a 2.1% total return. Dividends are rarely large enough to erase a bear market. Stocks fell 38.5% in 2008, for instance, and the dividend provided only a 1.5% lift. But long-term investors who hold onto their shares see how those dividend payments just add up.

Noah faces deluge of criticism over tweets Trevor Noah, the next Daily Show host, says his views cannot be reduced to a “handful of jokes.”

than him. We were in ‘that band,’ ” as Starr calls it. “The bass and drums, we would get together. To this day, he’s still, for me, the most melodic bass player. He just has a way.”

Although Starr’s 18th studio album includes a song called Not Looking Back, it does do that to some degree. The lyrics of the title track playfully weave in titles of Beatles tunes and other songs from his career, and in Rory and the Hurricanes, he remembers the band he was with before The Beatles.

He also celebrates the present and what’s to come. Many songs are inspired by his wife of more than 30 years, actress Barbara Bach.

“They all end up sort of love songs to Barbara,” he says. Not Looking Back started with Richard Marx looking at it “more as a separation song, so I turned it around, and we made it a love song.”

That’s worked for him before.

The Stranger Harlan Coben

Ringo Starr has a new album titled Postcards from Paradise.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. Ringo Starr is more than getting by with a little help from his friends, his drums and his songs.

The Beatles drummer and longtime solo performer is looking forward with his new album, Postcards From Paradise, and being honored for his celebrated past with an induction April 18 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He’s already an inductee as part of the legendary English rock band.

Starr, 74, is still touring with his All-Starr band, including U.S. dates in October, and his book of photography, Photograph, will go into wide release in September.

“I live a great life,” he says, with no regrets about missed experiences in poor beginnings in Liverpool, England, before he went on to embrace worldwide fame and fortune. “I don’t want to climb Everest. I’m having the good life where I am now. There’s no, ‘Wow, if only …’ Life is good. I can enjoy it.”

Starr says he didn’t anticipate the Hall’s Award for Musical Excellence, but he’s happy to receive it. Friend and Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney began the campaign on behalf of Starr, the last of the Fab Four to receive individual Hall honors, after Beatles manager Brian Epstein was inducted.

McCartney will introduce Starr, who says he will play four songs with “special” but unnamed guests at the ceremony in Cleveland.

McCartney’s involvement “does have meaning for me, because in all honesty, nobody knows me as a musician better

Comedy Central stands by ‘Daily’ pick

FILMMAGIC

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

On Monday, Trevor Noah was a comedy hero. By Tuesday, he was being lashed on Twitter for a handful of unfunny tweets labeled offensive and anti-Semitic.

Will the biracial South African comedian lose his big gig as Jon Stewart’s replacement on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show ?

Not as long as Comedy Central stands by him, which it is, and not as long as there’s no more questionable tweets still out there, say the experts.

But it was a strange 24-hour period for Noah nonetheless. He was cheered for being a hottie, for being smart and for being not-another-white-guy. Then some industrious Twitter miners went back through his nearly 9,000 tweets and found a few not-sowise wisecracks they didn’t like,

COMEDY CENTRAL

about “fat chicks,” Jews and Israel.

Like this one in June 2010: “South Africans know how to recycle like israel knows how to be peaceful.”

Oy vey. Not funny, as scores pointed out in a cascade of outraged tweets.

Give him a break, pleaded the network in a statement. “To judge him or his comedy based on a handful of jokes is unfair.”

Even the Anti-Defamation

League, whose job is to monitor anti-Semitic incidents, wouldn’t include Noah as one of them.

Most of his tweets fall into the category of valuable mocking of stereotypes and political correctness, said ADL director Abe Foxman.

He wished Noah, 31, success while urging him to ensure The Daily Show “remains funny and irreverent without trafficking in bigoted jokes at the expense of Jews.”

Rich Hanley, director of graduate journalism at Quinnipiac University, thinks this will blow over because Comedy Central already has such edgy programs as South Park and the recent Justin Bieber roast.

It “has a little more latitude in what it can let its hosts get away with,” said Hanley. “For the people who watch Comedy Central, these are not unusual tweets. ” Robert Thompson, pop-culture expert at Syracuse University, said some of the tweets were “ugly” and “sophomoric,” but they will likely be forgotton by the time Noah takes TDS reins.

“Unless, of course, there’s more bad stuff out there.”

Noah, who grew up in the fraught racial/ethnic/political culture of South Africa, has performed all over the world but only three times on The Daily Show.

Late Tuesday, he tweeted his response. “To reduce my views to a handful of jokes that didn’t land is not a true reflection of my character, nor my evolution as a comedian.”

HIGH SCHOOL TRACK AND FIELD

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Jayhawks in no hurry for hiring women’s coach Sheahon Zenger wants to get it right, even if that means the naming of Kansas University’s next women’s basketball coach might not happen for another fortnight, even longer.

Zenger and his chief lieutenant in the search, senior women’s sports administrator Debbie Van Saun, have confidence that interim head coach Katie O’Connor can keep things running smoothly, including keeping recruits committed, until a decision has been made. A half dozen people from the athletic department and a few trusted donors have had input during the search for the right person, not for a specific profile.

“Anything from BCS head coaches to top assistants to mid-major head coaches to small-college head coaches to juniorcollege head coaches,” are being considered, Zenger said.

KU’s athletic director won’t be attending the women’s basketball Final Four in Tampa, Florida, where most of the nation’s head coaches and assistants will assemble to network, party and watch the four No. 1 seeds play.

That doesn’t mean Zenger won’t have spies he can call for the skinny on candidates.

Zenger said that ideally, he would like to have a coach named by the third week of April, but called that a “soft target,” that could change in either direction.

In some ways, finding the right women’s coach can be a trickier challenge than in the men’s game, where coaches tend to bring their success from one region of the country to another.

For example, in her final 10 seasons at Duke, Gail Goestenkors took the Blue Devils to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 every season, made it to the Elite Eight seven times, the Final Four four times and the title game twice.

In five seasons at Texas, Goestenkors had one winning Big 12 record and never finished higher than fourth. Bonnie Henrickson couldn’t duplicate the success she had at Virginia Tech during her 11 seasons in Lawrence.

Playing in the shadow of and same building as such a popular men’s basketball program also brings a wrinkle to the job. Any candidate who might resent the disparity of interest need not apply. A feel for Kansas certainly would be a plus.

College administrators don’t think having a coach armed with a personality that sparks a program largely ignored by the public is an important element.

They think winning cures all. They’re wrong about that. Sure, it starts with the winning, but if those victories are followed by boring breakdowns of X’s and O’s, that’s no way to market to the masses.

The job is appealing enough to attract a winner.

Never give up

Woods rallies Lions in 4x400 relay

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High junior sprinter JD Woods was exhausted. He had already won the 100- and 200-meter dashes and ran the anchor leg of the Lions 4x100 relay on Tuesday afternoon in a dual against Free State.

Now he needed to empty whatever he had left in the tank. In the last event of the day, Woods was the anchor leg of the LHS 4x400 relay and the Lions trailed Free State’s relay team by a few seconds.

After the second turn, halfway to the finish, Woods knew he wasn’t going to lose.

He broke past Free State on the back stretch to win the

relay and was mobbed by his teammates after he crossed the finish line. The Firebirds swept the duals with the girls winning 74-69 and the Firebird boys pulling out a 73-66 victory, but Woods had the last laugh.

“I came around that curve and I had that full speed,” Woods said. “I saw coach (Audrey) Pope just telling me I had to go. That’s when I took off.”

Woods said he will miss the team’s next meet when he takes an unofficial visit to Northern Iowa for football, but he initially wanted to scratch out of the 200 to save his energy for the relay. But when he is focused on a goal, there’s no stopping him.

“(Woods) always has something up his sleeve,” said FSHS sophomore Zack Sanders, who ran the third leg of the Firebirds’ 4x400 relay. “I know he’s incredibly fast, I knew he would catch up sometime.”

The Firebirds had several strong performances, including Sanders setting a personal record in the 300 hurdles (41.09). FSHS senior Gabbi Dabney took first in the long jump, high jump and 100 hurdles, senior Ryan Liston won in the 800 and 1,600, junior Claire Sanner won the girls’ 1,600 and sophomore Emily Venters was strong in FREE STATE VAULTER CALLIE her win in the 3,200.

McDonald’s standouts inspire rumors “

By Mike Helfgot Special to the Journal-World

Chicago — Ben Simmons interrupted fellow Florida star and LSU recruit Antonio Blakeney’s interview to break the news.

“Malik Newman just committed to Kentucky,” Simmons said.

Newman had not, in fact, committed to Kentucky — or anywhere else for that matter — but it was an easy

sell amid all the recruiting talk.

Questions about colleges were all the rage this week leading up to tonight’s McDonald’s All-American Games — and they’re asked more often by players than reporters.

Nine of the 24 All-Americans, including seven of ESPN’s Top 12, have yet to choose a school.

Meanwhile, Kansas and Kentucky aren’t sure who’s

going pro, who’s coming back and how many scholarships they’ll have available.

These facts are not unrelated.

Kansas is in the mix for five of the seven — Jaylen Brown, Malik Newman, Stephen Zimmerman, Cheick Diallo and Brandon Ingram.

Kentucky is involved with all seven.

With one eye, the recruits are watching what happens with Cliff Alexander,

One of the biggest things about people who go (to the NBA) early, they win a lot.”

Kelly Oubre Jr., Perry Ellis, the Harrison twins, Devin Booker and Trey Lyles.

They’re checking each other out with the other.

“One of the biggest things about people who go (to the NBA) early, they win a lot,” said Newman, who does not hide his intention for a short college stay.

Lawrence High senior Alex Ginsberg completed the 100 fly Tuesday at Carl Knox Natatorium and saw she finished just more than six seconds behind the winner, taking second place.

And she had no issue with that.

Her teammate Morgan Traughber, a talented fresh-

man, won the race with ease. That’s what Ginsberg, a captain, likes to see.

“It’s really nice to have someone faster than me,” Ginsberg said of competing with — and sometimes against — Traughber. “In practices, I know, ‘Hey, I need to keep up with her.’

Cubs’ Lester understands Bryant’s plight Mesa, Ariz. (ap) — Ace lefthander Jon Lester didn’t make his major league debut until more than two months into the 2006 season, so he knows about the service time issue surrounding minor league stars.

Lester didn’t mince words Tuesday when asked what he thought about the Chicago Cubs’ decision Monday to send phenom Kris Bryant to the minors despite nine home runs and a .425 batting average.

“As a player, it sucks,” Lester said. “But the quicker it took me to understand it when I was coming up, the quicker you can learn this game is a business, the better off you are.

“They can say ‘development, development, development’ all they want. But this game is a business, and it comes down to that, and it is what it is. Everyone in this clubhouse understands it.”

From the end of last season, President Theo Epstein stated he wanted Bryant, 23, the top prospect in the minors, to work on his defense and other facets of his game. But by sending Bryant to the minors for at least the first 12 days of the major league season, the Cubs would delay Bryant’s eligibility for free agency at least until after the 2021 season.

“As a player, it sucks,” Lester said. “But it is what it is, and I can’t control what Theo does, what Kris does or anyone else does. We have to worry about what we do in this clubhouse and who is here now. And I’m sure Kris has handled it very well. He’s a good kid, and he’ll be with us at some point.”

Aram Boghosian/AP Photo NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS OWNER ROBERT KRAFT TESTIFIES DURING THE MURDER TRIAL of former Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez Tuesday at Bristol County Superior Court in Fall River, Mass.

Hernandez is accused of killing Odin Lloyd in June 2013.

Kraft: Hernandez told me he was innocent Fall River, Mass. — New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft marched into courtroom 7 at the Fall River Justice Center Tuesday and told jurors that two days after Odin Lloyd was found dead, former tight end Aaron Hernandez looked him in the eye and told him he was completely innocent.

“My main focus was understanding whether he was involved and what I could do to help him,” said Kraft, who came to court dressed in a blue button-down shirt, pink tie and dark jacket, and was escorted in and out of the courthouse by police. He wore sneakers.

Kraft told jurors that when he showed up to Gillette Stadium two days after Odin Lloyd was killed, “there was a lot of media in the parking lot, and maybe some helicopters.” The day before, news reports had surfaced that police were interested in Hernandez, who had been a key member of the Patriots’ offense in the 2012 season.

Kraft said he found Hernandez in the weight room, with two of the strength coaches. He pulled the player, who had just finished his third NFL season, into a side office.

“What did you say to the defendant?” Bristol County Assistant District Attorney William McCauley asked.

“I understood that there was an incident that had transpired,” Kraft said. “I wanted to know whether he was involved, and if he was, I wanted to make sure he knows that every player that comes into our system I consider part of our extended family, and I wanted to get him help.”

Hernandez, Kraft said, told him, “He was not involved, that he was innocent, and that he hoped that the time of the murder came out because I believe he said he was in the club.”

After the brief conversation, Kraft said, Hernandez “hugged me and kissed me and thanked me for my concern.”

MCDONALD’S ALL-AMERICAN GAME

Top recruits constantly consulting

By Mike Helfgot Special to the Journal-World

Chicago — Not long after Carlton Bragg put on his Kansas cap, mistakenly said he was going to Kentucky, then declared himself a Jayhawk after all, the power forward from Cleveland set his sights on Brandon Ingram.

There was a time Bragg thought he had Ingram convinced, and he may yet help Bill Self land the long, lean small forward out of North Carolina.

Up to 6-foot-9 after starting his senior year at 6-7, Ingram’s stock is making a similar rise with outstanding showings

the same school. It makes sense. It is all about winning. You look good, everyone looks good. That is the biggest thing. Go somewhere you can win and go somewhere they can help you.”

A 6-foot-3 combo guard ranked as the No. 4 player in the class by ESPN, Newman has been the most impressive guard in West team practices this week.

He’s also been on both sides of recruiting pitches this week. Moments before Simmons broke the fake news about Newman’s commitment, Blakeney expressed outrage when he heard Newman mention Kentucky to a reporter.

Schuler and Evan Bangladan also set personal records in the shot put and javelin.

But not many athletes have improved as much as FSHS junior pole vaulter Callie Hicks, who set a personal record of 11 feet at the team’s first meet last week and won by clearing 10 feet, 6 inches on Tuesday. She took 12th at state last year, clearing nine feet.

“That’s huge. To think about going up by feet is impressive,” FSHS coach Jordan Rose said. “She did a lot of work offseason and I can really see that paying off for her.”

Hicks, who helped the

this week at the practices leading up to tonight’s McDonald’s All-American Games at the United Center.

He’s ranked in the teens by both Rivals and Scout but has been better than that, and his uncommitted status has made him popular with his peers this week.

“I talk to Carlton a lot, I talk to Jaylen Brown (uncommitted) a lot,” Ingram said. “I talk to Luke Dennard (Duke) a lot. Me and Chase Jeter (Duke) talk a lot, Stephen Zimmerman (uncommitted). I talk to a lot of the people on the circuit. I’m just trying to make the best decision for me.”

Ingram still has Kan-

sas on his list and said he “loved the visit when I went out there,” but Self is going to need all the help Bragg can give him with Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Kentucky and UCLA also in the mix.

“I’ve been leaning on him a lot,” Bragg said. “He said he doesn’t know. It’s getting harder and harder for him.” l Embiid comparison: The comparison to Joel Embiid is unmistakable — born in a different country (Mali), relatively new to the game, long wing span, big-time shot blocker.

They even look more than a little alike.

“The two I’m hearing the most are LSU with Antonio and Ben and Kentucky (Isaiah Briscoe),” Newman said.

“Carlton Bragg has talked to me about Kansas, but he hasn’t been on me like the other two.

“I think the reason why is he knows what kind of job they’re (Kansas) doing on me, but if we’re walkin’ just me and him he’ll tell me about Kansas or things me and him can do.”

Along with winning, playing time is Newman’s major consideration.

That’s why a non-power like LSU suddenly became attractive with the addition of Simmons, the No. 1 player in the class, and Blakeney.

With surprising interest from top 10 prospects Jaylen Brown, Ivan Rabb and Caleb Swanigan, Cal

is hoping to be the West Coast’s LSU. “That would be kind of scary if we all choose to go to that school,” Brown said.

A 6-7 small forward from Georgia, Brown also has Kansas on his list of eight finalists. He was involved in numerous conversations with fellow recruits.

“I’m working on some people,” Brown said. “I’m not going to tell you who.

I’m working on trying to get people on the same page.”

Ultimately, Brown said, teaming up is an individual decision.

“I know it sounds bad, but I’m trying to think about myself in this process,” he said. “I’ve got to choose the best school for me.”

Firebirds win a state title in gymnastics, added 20 pounds of muscle over the offseason and grew three inches. Her goal is to clear 12 feet this year, which would help put her on the path to competing for a Div. I college. However, she’s had to deal with longtime injuries.

“I have shin splints really bad,” Hicks said. “So when it comes to lots of reps on the runway that’s when it gets painful. That’s when it’s kind of like, ‘Should I keep going to get the next height and injure my shins more, because they’re usually pretty sore the next day, or get the next height and deal with it.’”

The Lions had plenty of highlights with wins from senior Matia Finley (discus), senior Rebecca Finley (shot put), senior

Leah Gabler (800), junior Caroline Dykes (javelin), senior Dearion Cooper (110 hurdles) and junior Amani Bledsoe (shot put), among others.

LHS senior Jensen Edwards won the girls’ 200 and 400 and ran the anchor-leg of the winning 4x400 relay. The relay team shaved seven seconds off its time from its first meet, while Edwards put up strong times after competing in club track for the first time this offseason.

“I was happy,” Edwards said. “This was a good meet because it was kind of like a practice.

Just kind of gets us in the groove for the season and gets us used to running races again.”

Both schools will return to the track for meets on April 10.

Quick start gives Lions 4-0 victory over Baldwin

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Lawrence High girls soccer team tallied all the offense it needed in the first seven minutes of Tuesday’s 4-0 victory over Baldwin High at LHS. Sophomore Skylar Drum (36:02) and freshman Maria Duncan (33:21) put LHS on the board early with relentless pressure that produced the Lions’ first two goals of the game.

Drum’s goal came after she scooped up a loose ball in front of the BHS net and cut it across the keeper and into the far corner of the net.

Less than three minutes later, the tiny Duncan attacked the heart of the Baldwin defense and wound up as the last player standing. After coming clear, she wound up and ripped a shot past the right shoulder of the BHS goalie to give the Lions a 2-0 lead.

The goals from Drum and Duncan would have given the Lions a 3-0 lead if not for an offside call on a free-kick goal from senior Keeli Billings 1:56 into the first half.

“I think that was crucial,” senior Sadie Keller said of her team’s fast start. “The first five minutes are often indicative of how a game will go and I was really excited about the way we came out.”

With 1:02 remaining in the first half, Drum struck again. After the longest prolonged offensive attack by the Bulldogs of the half, LHS senior Emily Easum cleared the ball to Drum, who pushed her attack up the right side looking to cross to a teammate. Out of room, Drum flicked the ball toward the middle with her right foot and watched it bend over the keeper’s head and into the back of the net.

Traughber’s winning time of 1:03.34 qualified her for Class 6A state in the 100 fly, as did her second-place time of 2:06.82 in the 200 free.

“There’s a different atmosphere on the team this year,” said LHS coach Justin Young. “We made a pact as a team to never look back at what we did last year and just try to keep moving forward.”

Junior Erin Ventura, freshman Kaitlyn McIntyre and junior Macey Sutter all played key roles in helping the Lions (20) keep pressure on the Baldwin defense. Junior Elaine Harris and senior Cortlynn Stark consistently supported the LHS attacks from the back half.

For good measure, Keller capped Tuesday’s scoring with a 35-foot bomb that floated just high enough to clear the BHS goalie and sneak into the net with 8:44 to play.

“I didn’t really see any open spots so I just tried it,” Keller said. “It was pretty surreal. Thinking it can go in and seeing it actually go in are two different things.”

Although the LHS offense controlled the flow of the game from start to finish, one of the more exciting moments came on the defensive end. With LHS leading

2-0 and Baldwin mounting its first attack, Drum showed she’s much more than a one-dimensional player by sprinting back to bother a shot attempt

by BHS’s Erica Petry.

Drum’s petulance caused Petry’s shot to bang off the shoulder of LHS goalie Katelyn Murrish. The Bulldogs gathered the rebound about 15 feet from the net and had another crack at trimming the Lions’ lead, but sophomore April Hodges held her position on the goal line and stonewalled the second shot attempt, which gave Murrish time to smother the ball and end the threat.

With just under 19 minutes to play in the game, Petry was stifled again, this time by second-half goalie Amelia Dunlap, who made a diving save to her right on a free shot at the net.

In all, fewer than 10 minutes of each 40-minute half were played on Baldwin’s offensive side.

“Our defense was solid, for sure,” Young said. “I was pleased with our effort. This is where we get our confidence.”

LHS will travel to Missouri on Friday for a 6:30 p.m. game against Barstow.

won the 100 free (57.55) and 100 breast (1:13.36), and sophomore Brittany Archer took first place in the 500 free (5:54.11).

Lions coach Kent McDonald said senior captains Ginsberg, Nicole Oblon and Hannah Lee have been looking forward to their final year with the program, because now they can take charge. He said they help bring the younger competitors along, and train with Traughber at practices.

“They are setting the pace and she is working, staying right there with them,” McDonald said.

“I think they’re working pretty well together as a team.”

Oblon, who took second in the 50 free (27.64) and teamed with ReedWeston, Traughber and Archer to win the 200 free relay, said the younger Lions do a pretty good job on their own, too.

“It’s really good to have the young swimmers come up and help the team out,” Oblon said.

Just a few years back, Ginsberg was the youngster leaning on her elders.

Now she is on the other side of that relationship.

She loves the energy the new swimmers and freshmen bring.

“Compared to some teams,” the senior captain said, “we’re pretty young.

But it leaves a lot of room to build and be better.”

Royals clip Padres, 4-1 Peoria, Ariz. (ap) — Jeremy Guthrie pitched six strong innings in his final tuneup before sliding into the No. 5 spot in Kansas City’s rotation, and the Royals beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 Tuesday night.

Guthrie, who turns 36 next week, allowed one run and six hits while striking out five. The 13game winner from a year ago threw 93 pitches.

Brandon Morrow, front-runner for the Padres’ final rotation spot, gave up three runs and seven hits before leaving with one out in the fifth.

In his first start since March 21 due to a blister on his pitching hand, Morrow settled down after a two-run first inning that included a leadoff walk, a balk and his own fielding error.

Furcal didn’t appear in a Cactus League game as he recovered from a hamstring injury sustained in winter ball.

Tuesday’s move doesn’t affect the Royals’ big league roster as Furcal was not invited to camp.

The 37-year-old Furcal played nine games last year with Miami after missing all of the 2013 season following elbow reconstruction surgery.

Barnes’ talk with Tennessee AD quickly led to new job Knoxville, Tenn. (ap) — When he gave his farewell press conference after an unwanted exit from Texas, Rick Barnes predicted he’d be coaching again “quicker than you probably think.”

It turns out Barnes already had a pretty good idea where he’d end up.

Barnes had begun talking to Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart about the Volunteers’ coaching vacancy Saturday, the day before his departure from Texas was announced. His move from one shade of orange to another became official Tuesday when Barnes was introduced as Tennessee’s new men’s basketball coach.

“At that point in time, yes, it was something that had been discussed and it was something I truly wanted to see happen,” Barnes said.

Barnes succeeds Donnie Tyndall, who was fired Friday after going 16-16 in his lone season at Tennessee amid an NCAA investigation into his two-year tenure at Southern Mississippi.

Barnes agreed to terms on a six-year contract that will pay him $2.25 million annually.

The 60-year-old Barnes will be Tennessee’s fourth coach in six seasons, and the Volunteers are counting on him to provide stability.

Barnes went 402-180 in 17 seasons at Texas, including a Final Four appearance in 2003.

He is 604-314 in 28 seasons overall with stops at George Mason, Providence and Clemson. Barnes has 22 NCAA Tournament appearances — two more than Tennessee has made in its entire history. He has earned NCAA bids 19 of the last 20 seasons.

“We are very, very fortunate today to have hired an elite basketball coach,” Hart said. “That’s what Rick Barnes is. He is definitely an elite coach.”

Hart’s admiration of Barnes was evident in Tennessee’s pursuit of

FORMER TEXAS COACH RICK BARNES addresses reporters after being named head coach at the University of Tennessee on Tuesday. him. Hart said he flew to Austin, Texas, on Sunday and accompanied Barnes on his trip to Knoxville shortly after that farewell press conference.

“From that moment on, we literally have been together around the clock,” Hart said.

And in the end, Tennessee landed a veteran coach who is savoring a new opportunity.

Texas announced Barnes’ departure in a university release that described it as a mutual decision. Barnes made it clear at his farewell news conference that he was fired and that he told Texas athletic director Steve Patterson he wanted to stay. Barnes said he was given the choice of firing his staff or being fired himself.

“I am driven,” Barnes said. “I’ve had one goal in my life and that would be the chance to play for a national championship.

This is a university that provides you with everything you need to do that.

I realize how hard that is to do... but that’s the standard we’ll set.”

Although Barnes’ only Southeastern Conference experience is a brief stint as an Alabama assistant from 1986-86, he has plenty of familiarity with his new campus and new boss.

Toast the end of ‘Mad Men’ with classic cocktails

By Michelle Locke Associated Press

From Don Draper’s old fashioneds to Roger Sterling’s smuggled-in Stoli, cocktails have played a deliciously major role on AMC’s “Mad Men.�

But was it really that great an era to drink?

Because though the show celebrates — and has boosted modern-day interest in — classic cocktails, it is set in a decade, the ’60s, when mixed drinks were sliding into a sugary slump, says drinks historian David Wondrich. “Cocktails were struggling because they were kind of for the square, old-establishment types, they weren’t for the new generation,� says Wondrich, drinks columnist for Esquire magazine. Old-school bartenders were retiring and “getting replaced by young wannabe novelists and actors and not people who were going into it for a profession.�

Since those days, there’s been a revival of well-made drinks and the ingredients to create them, and bartending has become so seriously scientific it’s known as mixology.

Back then, producers were still trying to sell spirits, but with new, zippy approaches that leaned heavily on brand advertising. “Those drinks can be fun in context; they’re not primarily aimed at flavor or balance or anything like that,� says Wondrich.

But if the drinks weren’t particularly exciting, the “Mad Men� era was the best of times for the cocktail scene setting. “The culture of the cocktail really exploded in the ’60s,� says Maureen Petrosky, author of “The Cocktail Club.�

Suddenly there were cocktail dresses, new glassware, bar couture, Tiki drinks. The cocktail hour had its own wardrobe.

What the “Mad Men� — and women — drink says a lot. One of Petrosky’s favorite

drinks scenes in “Mad Men� is when Roger returns from a business trip with a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka, not then available in the U.S. He shares it with Don, but when Pete, the colleague no one finds particularly congenial, shows up Roger tells Don to pour Pete a drink — but not the Stoli. “It was so telling of his opinion of Pete and of this new vodka,� says Petrosky.

With the final episodes of the season set to begin April 5 on AMC, we put together a selection of signature drinks from the series and era.

Vodka gimlet This is Betty’s signature drink and would most likely have been made with half vodka, half Rose’s West India Sweetened Lime Juice served over ice. When the Cuban missile crisis looms and there’s trouble in her marriage to Don, Betty orders a gimlet at a bar before engaging in a backroom tryst with a stranger.

Dry martini The show’s second season picked up in 1962, the year “Dr. No� came out informing the world that James Bond drank a vodka — as opposed to the more traditional gin — martini that was shaken and not stirred.

A traditional approach is 2 ounces vodka, 1/3 ounce dry vermouth, olive garnish. If you’re serving this over ice, Wondrich points out it really doesn’t matter whether you shake or stir.

Old fashioned Back then this would have been made with a cheap, blended whisky, possibly Don’s favorite Canadian Club.

Start with a sugar cube and a few drops of bitters and muddle in a cherry and orange wedge, adding the whiskey and possibly a lemon wedge garnish. These days, bartenders use a good bourbon or rye and add just a dash of sugar and bitters.

Bloody mary These are a leitmotif of “Mad Men,� sometimes served as a morning eye-opener and made by young Sally Draper for her parents, Don and Betty, in Season 2. A simple approach is 1 1/2 ounces vodka poured over rocks in a tall glass, fill with tomato juice, add dashes of Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper to taste and a celery stick garnish.

Bonus cocktail: the bull shot This hasn’t been featured in the series, but Wondrich says it’s the kind of off-menu drink that ad men would order in the ’60s to boost their street cred. The recipe is simple — a couple ounces vodka, equal parts Campbell’s Beef Consomme, a few shots of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces, served on the rocks.

The drink, says Wondrich, is “actually kind of good. Disturbingly good.�

Potato Tostadas an easy dinner option

By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press

Tostada can mean many things to many people. In Mexico, the tostada translates to a fried tortilla and the actual dish. In Spanish it translates to toasted. But I think of tostada as a flat taco and an easy dinner option.

Packages of already fried tostada shells are sold at most grocery stores and Hispanic markets. They’re useful in so many ways.

You can top them with layers of cooked and shredded beef, pork, chicken or seafood. Most tostada recipes I come across have a layer of refried beans. I’d skip the beans if using seafood. The two just don’t seem to go well together.

You can even make a nonmeat option and use just vegetables.

Also, think of tostadas as a way to use up leftover ingredients. Thisrecipe uses boiled and mashed redskin potatoes as the main ingredient.

Top your tostada with shredded lettuce or finely shredded cabbage, chopped tomatoes or onions or slices of avocado.
