Lawrence city manager leaving for Colorado job

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A changing of the guard is coming at Lawrence City Hall.

City Manager David Corliss has agreed to become the town manager of

Corliss

Castle Rock, Colo. Corliss plans to leave his post as the top executive at Lawrence City Hall on June 1. Corliss’ contract with Castle Rock is expected to be approved by that town’s council on Tuesday.

Corliss said it largely was

a host of personal reasons — including being next to his wife’s parents in the Denver area — that led him to the decision to leave Lawrence, where he has served in city government since 1990.

“My wife and I started thinking about life as empty-

nesters and where we wanted to spend some time for the next dozen years or so before retirement,” said Corliss, 53, who has his youngest daughter graduating from Free State High this year. “This was an opportunity that presented itself.”

Mayor Mike Amyx said Lawrence is losing a valuable asset in Corliss.

“I’m very happy for the community he is going to,” Amyx said. “They are getting a very good city manager. I Please see CORLISS, page 2A

On the second day of testimony in the first-degree murder retrial of Martin Miller, Miller’s son and daughter testified about their family and the death of their mother, and jurors heard Miller’s testimony from his first trial.

Miller, 56, is charged with first-degree murder in the July 28, 2004, death of his wife, Mary Miller, 46, at the family’s central Lawrence home. A Douglas County jury convicted Miller in 2005 of first-degree murder, but the Kan- Miller sas Court of Appeals ruled in February 2014 that Miller should get a new trial based on an erroneous jury instruction.

Budget deal up in air as lawmakers adjourn

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — Kansas lawmakers adjourned the 2015 regular session Thursday without acting on a budget deal that House and Senate negotiators had brokered a day earlier.

And while Republican leaders said they still believe it can pass when they return for the final wrap-up session in late April, others said the deal faces a number of serious obstacles, including the need to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in new taxes in order to fund it.

“First and foremost, it’s not balanced,” said Sen. Laura Kelly, DTopeka, the ranking minority member on the Senate Ways and Means LEGISLATURE Committee. “They are spending money that we don’t have, or they are spending onetime money that won’t be there the year after next.”

Both Democrats on the conference committee, Kelly and Rep. Jerry Henry of Atchison, refused to sign the conference committee report, forc-

2 school districts to close early because of budgets Concordia (ap) — Two school districts plan to end the academic year early to save money, citing financial pressures caused by reduced state aid for this academic year.

The Concordia school district will release students on May 15, rather than May 21. And the Twin Valley School District, which includes Bennington and Tescott, will dismiss May 8, rather than May 20, The Salina Journal reported.

Castle Rock is a town of about 50,000 people between Denver and Colorado Springs. It is rapidly growing, adding about 700 new homes a year, Corliss said.

The announcement comes as the City Commission is preparing to change hands. Three of the five seats are up for election on Tuesday, and the new commission will

in thanks for the early release.

“They remember me as the snow day lady,” she said. “We are popular with the kids but not the parents.”

Kansas school districts are facing financial pressures after losing $51 million they expected to receive for the current school year after Gov. Sam Brownback signed a school funding overhaul bill in March. The new school funding plan scraps the previous formula for determining state aid and replaces it with block grants, which be seated on April 14.

Amyx said beginning the process to find a new city manager and to appoint an interim city manager will be the first item of business for the new commission.

“It is such an important position for this community,” Amyx said.

The full commission will make a decision on who should serve as interim city manager after Corliss leaves at the end of May. Amyx said he believes Assistant City Manager Diane Stoddard is a likely choice to serve in the interim role.

Amyx said a search for a new city manager likely

will give districts a fixed amount of money for the next two years while the Legislature develops a new formula.

Asked about the cuts at a news conference Thursday, Brownback said he believed Concordia would have had to make the changes absent the funding overhaul because its reserves were low and it lost funding this year under the previous formula. He said districts such as Concordia would benefit from the block grant plan over the next two years because funding will increase and

“

It is such an important position for this community.”

— Mayor Mike Amyx will be a multimonth process. He noted that the last search process — in 2006 when Corliss was hired to take over for Mike Wildgen — took more than six months to complete.

Corliss said he has been pleased with projects he has worked on regarding economic development, infrastructure, downtown and others.

“And we have a great

“I’m very proud of the women and men who work for this city. When you start thinking about leaving, you really start recognizing how you couldn’t do this without other people. I’ve worked with so many good people and partners.”

Corliss has been city manager since September 2006, but served as interim city manager since March 2006. He previously served as an assistant city manager, the city’s director of legal services and several other positions at City Hall. A Kansas University graduate, he’s been

in a four-year affair with former Eudora resident Carrie Parbs. Miller’s attorney, Richard Ney, argues that Mary Miller died of natural causes, not by homicide.

Children testify On Thursday, Miller’s daughter, Melodie Ozorkiewicz, said she told investigators in 2004 that her mother had been “under extreme stress” prior to her death and that she had high choloesterol. Ozorkiewicz told investigators that when Mary Miller got stressed her father “would calm her down and try to fix it.” Ozorkiewicz also said her mother took “alternative medicines” that Miller would sometimes concoct with natural herbs.

Ozorkiewicz, who was 14 at the time, said that during the early hours of the day her mother died she heard her mother let out a noise “between a yell and a scream” and heard her father in the room with her mother.

Ozorkiewicz testified Wednesday that her mother had screamed “No, please, don’t, no,” but on cross examination acknowledged that she originally told investigators that she “couldn’t exactly tell” what her mother was saying.

Ozorkiewicz later testified that police eventually told her that her father had murdered her mother, and she said that she didn’t believe the accusation at first.

“Well, no one wants to believe that,” Ozorkiewicz said.

Ozorkiewicz told the court that she changed her mind after reviewing her mother’s autopsy and hearing of her father’s affair with Parbs.

Miller’s son, Matthew Miller, testified Thursday that he also heard his mother struggling during the early-morning hours of July 28, 2004. Matthew Miller, who was 11 at the time, said he woke up to his mother screaming in his parents’ room and that it “sounded really labored like she couldn’t get enough breath in.”

Matthew Miller said he heard his father calming his mother, saying “Everything is going to be all right.” Matthew Miller said after that, “it

The Twin Valley board announced Monday that the school would trim seven and a half “discretionary days” from the school calendar, although athletic and other activities would continue.

Board members said in a news release that the district was having difficulty withstanding “the present mid-year, unplanned financial cuts recently signed into law.”

“The board’s made a difficult decision,” Twin Valley Superintendent Jan Neufeld said. “We

On cross examination, Matthew Miller told Ney that he initially told police that he heard his parents talking in “a normal tone of voice” that morning and that he did not say anything about his mother screaming.

He recounted, though, saying “it was a scream, but it didn’t have enough volume.” Matthew Miller said Mary Miller was “wheezing” and “trying to find breath.”

Admission of affair Lawrence Police Department Detective Jack Cross testified Thursday that he interviewed Miller about two hours after Miller reported his

wife dead. Cross said that during the interview Miller admitted to having a sexual relationship with Parbs after he told Miller that it would seem suspicious if they later discovered the affair and Miller had not first told them about it.

Cross said that Miller gave the interview freely and was not under arrest at the time but was considered a “possible suspect.” Cross said Miller said “he was willing to do anything to try to determine how his wife had died.”

Additionally, Cross testified that Miller said he was “blown away” that the children were identifying his voice in the room with Mary’s screaming. He said

Previous testimony Also on Thursday afternoon, the court reporter read Miller’s testimony from his 2005 trial. In it, Miller said that he in fact had heard Mary Miller make noises the morning of her death but didn’t tell investigators “because he was scared.”

Miller said that he was asleep on the toilet in the master bathroom sometime around 3 a.m. when he woke up to “an outburst of sound.” Then, he went into the bedroom and looked at Mary Miller.

“She appeared to be in some type of distress,” Miller said.

Miller said he then put his hand on Mary Miller’s shoulder and asked her what was wrong. Mary Miller then gasped for air and made a “squeak.”

Miller said he then told her to “calm down, breathe, breathe deeply” and that Mary Miller seemed frightened. After a few minutes, her distress subsided and Miller asked if she was all right.

“She said she woke up and couldn’t breathe,” Miller said. “She didn’t say anything more after that.”

Martin Miller said he then went to the living room to sleep. Later, Mill-

A return to tradition

KU’s marching band opts for classic look in new uniforms

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

T

he KU Marching Jayhawks will get new uniforms this fall, and they’re going classic all the way.

The new uniforms will be in KU colors — blue with red torsos and capes — and a traditional marching band look — tuxedo stripes on the pants, soldier-like details on top and plumes on the hats.

The Jayhawks have been wearing uniforms with allblack slacks, black hats and an outdated KU letter style on the back.

“We are all very excited about the new uniforms for the Marching Jayhawks and the return to a more tradi-

tional look for the band with an emphasis on KU colors and up-to-date school logos,” Paul Popiel, director of KU Bands, said in a news release. “This fall will be a great time to unveil the new uniforms with all of the excitement around KU football.”

KU Endowment announced Tuesday that its Tradition Marches on Campaign, launched in 2013, had raised enough money to order new uniforms for the 270-member band.

The $300,000 campaign has raised $289,000. Alumni and friends donated $161,000, KU Athletics contributed $67,500, and KU’s chancellor’s and provost’s offices each allocated $30,000 from unrestricted private funds managed by

their offices, according to KU endowment.

The band has been wearing the current uniforms with the black pants since 2004. According to a Journal-World story at the time, at least one funddrive spokeswoman pitched them as a “hip” and “trendy” look that would help attract more students to the band.

The switch to black from the colored uniforms the band had worn for decades drew criticism in 2004. However, the JournalWorld reported, black was actually more traditional than some realized: Most of the band’s uniforms prior to the 1960s were predominantly black.

Topeka — A Republican legislator warned Thursday that Kansas risks the same sort of national backlash as Indiana and Arkansas if lawmakers pass a proposal aimed at protecting college religious groups, but a GOP colleague said heeding such concerns would be “catering to the mob.”

Uber pushes back on Rules tighten for transportation bill social services Topeka — The Kansas Senate has sent a transportation bill to the governor that Uber says could drive it out of the state.

The Senate voted 35-2 to pass the bill requiring drivers from transportation network companies to hold additional insurance.

It would also require companies to do background checks on their drivers through the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

The bill affects the company Uber, which connects independent drivers to riders through a smartphone app.

The company said Monday that it would make business “impossible� in Kansas.

The company urged users to email all Kansas legislators on the issue through a link in the app. So many did so the Legislature’s email service was temporarily inoperable Tuesday.

Topeka — The Kansas House has approved tighter rules for social services ahead of lawmakers’ annual spring break.

The House’s 87-35 vote Thursday sends the bill to the governor to sign it into law. The bill would enshrine policies enacted since Republican Gov. Sam Brownback took office in January 2011 into law.

The policies include a requirement that ablebodied adult recipients of cash assistance have jobs or seek work.

The measure also sets new rules that include a $25-a-day limit on ATM withdrawals with cash assistance cards.

Supporters said it furthers a goal of helping people move from state assistance into jobs. Critics see it as an attack on the poor.

faced for passing broader religious-objections measures described by some business leaders and groups as anti-gay.

Gay-rights supporters in Kansas contend its bill, which passed the Senate two weeks ago, would protect campus religious groups from being sanctioned for barring gay and lesbians as members — or limiting membership based on race, ethnicity or national origin. Backers of the bill say it protects students’ freedoms of association and worship.

The House committee’s 12-10 vote sending the bill to the House floor signaled a possible wider split among Republicans in Kansas than in Arkansas and Indiana, which are among more than a dozen states where religious objections proposals have been introduced this year.

Republicans hold 18 of the panel’s 23 seats, and six joined four Democrats in voting against the bill.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

GOP Rep. Stephanie Clayton, of Overland Park, predicted Kansas would face an outcry and boycott threats. “Kansas does not need anything like that happening to damage our reputation,� said Clayton, who voted against the bill.

But Rep. Dick Jones, a Topeka Republican, said if legislators rewrite the bill or refuse to pass it because of what’s happened elsewhere, “We’re catering to the mob.� “I get the feeling that if we took religious organizations out of this and put in gay organizations, we’d be falling all ourselves to pass it, so I say we pass it,� he said. “I’m not going to run away from somebody’s misunderstanding of the bill and trying to make a national issue out of it. This doesn’t hurt anybody.�

The Kansas measure is significantly different from new religious objections policies approved by lawmakers in Arkansas and Indiana, which focus on limiting broader government action against individuals, groups and

businesses that say they’re acting in line with their religious beliefs.

Under the Kansas proposal, state universities, community colleges and technical colleges could not sanction religious groups over requirements that members adhere to the group’s sincerely held beliefs or “religious standards of conduct.� Colleges couldn’t refuse to recognize a group or deny it space or other benefits available to other groups.

The bill doesn’t mention gays and lesbians and is written broadly enough to cover, for example, Christian groups that refuse to allow Muslims to formally join, or Muslim groups that disallow Christians. Supporters said it also would allow groups to oust leaders if they, for example, failed to heed rules against heterosexual sex outside of marriage.

Committee Chairman Steve Brunk, a Wichita Republican who supports the bill, said a campus religious group often serves as a church for students. “It’s completely inappropriate, to me, for gov-

ernment through its organizational structure — that being the university — to tell an individual church who their membership is or who their membership cannot be,� Brunk said.

Equality Kansas, the state’s leading gay-rights group, has called the bill a “license to discriminate,� and the American Civil Liberties Union said it would force colleges to provide taxpayer- or student-financed support to groups that discriminate.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that universities can adopt anti-bias policies requiring religious groups seeking recognition or resources to accept anyone who wants to join.

The Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees the state’s higher education system, has an anti-discrimination policy for student groups that includes sexual orientation. But the policy also says, “The right of organizations to establish standards for membership is acknowledged.� “It works,� said Rep. Steve Becker, a Buhler Republican. “We need to stay out of it.�

We’re incurring debt to pay debt.

When things are CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A going well — we 23-16 vote, a day after the wouldn’t have even House passed it, 63-57. considered this.�

Brownback is expected to sign the bill, and supporters said the state should issue the debt starting this summer.

The Kansas Public Employees Retirement System would receive an infusion of cash, immediately narrowing a longterm gap in funding for retirement benefits. The pension system would invest the money and expects its investments to earn significantly more than the state would pay on the 30-year bonds. “This is a very solid financial decision,� said Republican state Sen. Jim Denning, of Overland Park.

But there’s skepticism — including among teacher, state worker and retiree groups — because the move also is designed to help with the state budget by decreasing state contributions to public pensions by $64 million over the next two years.

A report last year from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College said bonds decrease financial flexibility, turning pension payments that can be modified into set bond payments. The report also said underfunded plans and financially stressed governments typically issue bonds. “We’re incurring debt to pay debt,� state Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat who opposed the bill, said after Thursday’s vote. “When things are going well — we wouldn’t have even considered this.�

The bill limits the state

— Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka

to paying 5 percent or less in interest to bond investors, and the pension system expects to earn 8 percent annually on its investments the long-term.

The state issued $500 million in pension bonds in 2004, paying almost 5.4 percent in interest. The pension system’s investment earnings have averaged 7.7 percent annually since then. “It worked,� Brownback said during a Statehouse news conference before the Senate vote.

The pension system already was on track to close a projected $9.8 billion gap between revenues and benefit costs from now until 2033 under laws enacted in recent years that require increasing state contributions to pensions.

The state must close a budget shortfall projected at nearly $600 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The gap arose after lawmakers, at Brownback’s urging, slashed personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 to stimulate the economy.

The governor contends the increasing pension commitments would strain the budget. Both major parties agree that the pension system’s long-term funding gap arose because the state shorted its contributions to retirement benefits over decades.

Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. “There’s no reason to rush a position when we don’t know our revenue numbers (and) some other pieces of the governor’s budget have to come into place still.”

The budget is based on the assumption that lawmakers will eventually pass several tax measures that Republican Gov. Sam Brownback proposed. Those include big

safety course in order to legally carry a concealed handgun.

“This law supports the Constitutional right of Kansans to keep and bear arms. As a supporter of the Second Amendment, I am pleased to sign SB 45 today,” he said.

The bill signing occurred on the same day that a group called the “Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund” took out full-page newspaper ads urging Brownback to veto the bill. The ads cited a recent SurveyUSA opinion poll showing 78 percent of Kansans support requiring a permit and training in order to carry a concealed handgun in public.

But Brownback, surrounded by gun rights advocates and legislative leaders who supported the bill, defended the new law, saying it protects a constitutional right.

Economic news At a separate news conference later in the day, Brownback touted economic numbers that he said pointed toward a strong recovery in the Kansas job market.

“We’ve had an excellent run recently on job creation,” Brownback said. “Kansas last month led the nation in privatesector job growth.”

Students, age 14 or older at the time of enrollment, must be present to enroll.

Students must bring a birth certificate; eyeglasses or contacts if the student wears them; a learner’s permit if the student has already obtained one; and a check, money order or cash for the enrollment fee.

Students will also have to complete an instructional permit and a vision check.

To streamline the process, the district encourages students to complete an enrollment form before

April 11. The form can be found on the district’s website, USD497.org.

increases in alcohol, cigarette and tobacco taxes.

They also would need to pass the governor’s “tax amnesty” plan that is supposed to encourage delinquent taxpayers to pay the amount they owe, and a $1 billion bond issue in order to reduce state payments into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.

Leaders of the House and Senate tax committees have said throughout the session that those are issues they plan to deal with in late April and early May, after they receive updated official revenue estimates for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

Higher education Another key part of the agreement that negotiators struck Wednesday was a provision to freeze tuition rates at state universities for the next two years.

That was a concession by the House in exchange for the Senate dropping its proposal to cut $9.4 million over two years from the Lawrence cam-

pus of Kansas University and $2.1 million next year from Kansas State University.

KU initially called that an acceptable compromise. But other state universities have raised strong objections, including Wichita State University.

“We’re not at all comfortable with it and believe that it would greatly retard the growth and good things we’re doing here for students and the Kansas economy,” said WSU spokesman Lou Heldman.

Breeze Richardson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Board of Regents, said the board had no official comment about the proposed tuition freeze.

But Heldman said the freeze threatened to interfere with major projects underway at WSU, including construction of a new building that will house an engineering center for one of the world’s leading aircraft manufacturers.

“Airbus Americas has committed to bringing

Brownback said the 9,000 new private-sector jobs created in February put the state slightly ahead of his campaign pledge to create 100,000 new private sector jobs during his second term.

That one-month figure may have been only a statistical blip, however.

While Kansas may have been tied with Utah for first place in job creation for February, the longerterm job trends in Kansas have lagged behind some surrounding states and the national average.

Brownback continued to support controversial social policies, including his repeal of protection of LGBT state employees from job discrimination, despite statements from dozens of high tech industry leaders that such policies could cost the state jobs in the future.

On Wednesday, executives from 39 technology companies — including Facebook, Twitter and eBay — issued a joint statement urging states to add LGBT nondiscrimination protection to their civil rights laws and denouncing so-called “religious freedom” bills pending in state legislatures that critics say would legalize discrimination against gays and lesbians.

“We believe it is critically important to speak out about proposed bills and existing laws that would put the rights of minorities at risk,” the

statement said. “The transparent and open economy of the future depends on it, and the values of this great nation are at stake.”

Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights advocacy group, said the joint statement sent a message to states: “If states want high-tech jobs, they must put fully inclusive non-discrimination protections in place immediately.”

Rep. John Carmichael, D-Wichita, introduced a bill this year to include sexual orientation and gender identity in the state’s non-discrimination law, but that bill did not receive a committee hearing.

Earlier this year, Brownback rescinded an executive order by Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius that extended protection to LGBT state employees.

Asked whether he was concerned that his administration’s policies, and bills being considered by the Legislature, might be driving high tech jobs away from the state, Brownback said he was not.

“Well, our experience to date is that we’re creating jobs aggressively,” he said. “And that continues to move forward, move forward well in this state.

And I would hope that continues, and we’re going to do everything we can to see that it continues.”

Commission OKs housing incentives Lawrence city commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting approved approximately $100,000 in incentives to assist Tenants to Homeowners with its Cedarwood Senior Cottages project, a housing project at 2525 Cedarwood Ave. The incentives will come in the form of fee rebates

as those awarded to varsity athletes at each school.

Five Wichita high schools participate in the Tri-County league, which offers soccer, basketball and cheerleading teams. Levy Special Education Center and the Chisholm Life Skills Center, a school-to-work transition program for young adults, also participate.

and some in-kind work by city crews to install sidewalks, fire hydrants and other infrastructure.

Rebecca Buford, executive director for Tenants to Homeowners, said she hopes the 14-unit townhome project will be completed in about a year.

Buford estimates that the units — which have garages, porches, fiber optic wiring, a community center and shared gardens — will rent for about $200 to $300 less than standard market rates in Lawrence.

Controversial campus rape documentary to be shown at KU

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

A screening of the controversial documentary “The Hunting Ground” is among events planned on the Kansas University campus for Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

April’s event lineup also includes appearances by two nationally known speakers, the first of which is this evening.

Video blogger and MTV personality Laci Green will present “Taking Down Rape Culture” at 6 p.m. today at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Green, 25, hosts the YouTube show “Sex Plus” and speaks on sexual violence prevention and healthy sexual relationships.

At 7 p.m. April 13, also at Woodruff Auditorium, David Lisak will give a talk, “Confronting Sexual Violence on the College Campus.” Lisak is a clinical psychologist known for his research and consulting on nonstranger rapes, including campus sexual assault.

“The Hunting Ground” will show at 7 p.m. April 28 at Woodruff Auditorium.

The documentary, from award-winning documentary writer and director Kirby Dick, is “a startling exposé of sexual assault on U.S. campuses, institutional cover-ups and the brutal social toll on victims and their families,” according to the film’s website.

Kathy Rose-Mockry, director of KU’s Emily Taylor Center for Women and Gender Equity, said the

film has important themes that hit close to home.

“I think it’s important for looking critically for what we as a campus can be doing, should be doing, are doing and continue to strive to do better,” RoseMockry said.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month activities are organized by multiple KU groups including the Emily Taylor Center, Office of Institutional Opportunity and Access and others.

“Many units on campus all share the concern that we raise awareness,” Rose-Mockry said.

A full list of Sexual Assault Awareness Month events at KU can be found on the Emily Taylor website, emilytaylorcenter. ku.edu/saam. Events are open to the public.

Lynn Harrod, an assistant principal at South Middle School, was honored with the inaugural Champion for Child Abuse and Prevention Award from a countywide anti-child abuse coalition Wednesday.

The Douglas County Child Abuse Prevention Task Force presented the award to Harrod at the Douglas County Commission meeting. The award came with an opportunity to donate $150 to a charity of Harrod’s choice, for which he selected Just Food.

Harrod is in his 19th year as assistant principal at South and 30th year in the Lawrence school district. He said he’s served on boards for various local organizations, such as the O’Connell Youth Ranch, American Red Cross and GaDuGi Safe Center.

Harrod said he was “humbled” by the award. “There are many, many people that should be, could be recognized,” he said.

Harrod was nominated by Julie Rae, a secretary at South. She said Harrod works closely with students, often filling them with a sense of pride, and has made home visits when attendance issues arise.

“Many of the actions he takes are above and beyond what he is required to do,” Rea said. “I know that Mr. Harrod will most likely not want to be honored for any kind of award.

He is humble that way.”

April marks the national awareness month for child abuse. Diana Frederick, the executive director of Douglas County CASA, said at the award presentation that there were over 1,000 reports of alleged child maltreatment assigned for investigation in Douglas County in the 2014 fiscal year.

The Douglas County Child Abuse Prevention Task Force is a collaboration of more than 40 local social service agencies and community members. Frederick said the group created the award to recognize “unsung heroes” in the community.

Shovels and Rope to bring wild folk show to Bottleneck

By Fally Afani

IF YOU GO

Special to the Journal-World

Shovels and Rope with opening act Inlaws will be performing at 9 p.m.

Saturday (doors open at 8 p.m.) at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St. Tickets cost $17 in advance and $19 day of show and can be purchased at thebottlenecklive.com.

A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll, and everything in between — Shovels and Rope are a riot, and their Bottleneck show on Saturday is sure to be a hootenanny.

The husband-and-wife duo comprising Carey Ann Hearst and Michael Trent have a wide appeal, thanks to their genre-defying folk. You’ll hear Southern blues undertones while Hearst shreds and squeals into the mic. It’s an exciting, hectic and fairly impressive approach to an organic sound in today’s world of synthesizers and digital beats.

just ready to abandon what we’d been working on for so long,” Trent says. “Then, once we got married, our other projects ended for whatever reason, and this was a good way for us to do our careers together.”

Hearst chimed in that it was important to not leave each other behind.

Dynamic duo It takes a lot of creative interpretation to do what Shovels and Rope pull out in their live shows, but the sincerely charming musicians are humble as ever about it.

“What’s happening is, the two of us are flailing our arms and legs in a desperate attempt to keep up with ourselves and make as much noise as we can without making a racket,” Hearst half-jokes before taking a serious tone. “We strive to be, in every show, dynamic, dynamic, dynamic. We could play an hour-and-a-half show of loud and crazy things, or an hour-and-a-half show of poetic heartbreakers.

It’s important for our audience to get a nice buffet of all that stuff.”

Generally, you’ll find Trent perched behind a

Living the dream Life on the road was always the ultimate goal for the duo.

“It’s not like a holy calling to get to be a musician, but it’s what we

love to do,” Hearst says.

“Somebody’s got to do it, and we are willing to travel all the time and spend our time trying to say something of emotional value to people.”

Trent agrees.

“We’re super grateful, more than anything, to be in charge of our music,” he says. “We’re living the dream in that way, that everyone we work with, our small team of people, they all respect the way that we like to work.”

You can see how Shovels and Rope work it onstage at the Bottleneck this Saturday.

But they’ve been known to switch instruments and try something new in the middle of a set.

“Even if it doesn’t go off without a hitch, the struggle is fun, and it allows us to connect with a lot of people,” says Hearst, who insists that their interpretation of music is part of a tradition spanning the history of music. “The people whose music gets passed down, people who came over from Africa, and Irish folks who then turned it into bluegrass and mountain music…

“I was being Michael’s side man in Charlotte on Friday night, and he would be my side man in Charlotte on Saturday night, and it was just getting ridiculous.”

Trent said the bands then decided to throw their eggs in one basket and be just one band.

“Once we did that, we had so many opportunities that kept rolling in that support tours. We stayed out for about two years without barely ever coming home, and it was great.”

It’s the inherent nontraditional-ness of it, that is the most traditional thing about what we do.”

Eventually, the two say, they gave into logistics.

Risk remains A compromise pension bond plan maybe reduce the state’s risk, but it certainly doesn’t eliminate it.

I

ssuing $1 billion in bonds to help shore up the state retirement fund puts Kansas in less peril than issuing $1.5 billion in bonds, but this strategy still represents an uncomfortable risk for the state.

On Wednesday, the Kansas House approved a bill authorizing the sale of $1 billion in bonds. The money will be invested, and the presumed return on that investment will go to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System to help put the struggling fund on a firmer financial footing.

Laws enacted in recent years have KPERS on track to close a projected $9.8 billion gap between revenues and benefit costs by 2033, but that plan requires increasing state contributions to a point that Gov. Brownback contends will put too great a strain on the alsostressed state budget.

To relieve that stress, Brownback recommended issuing $1.5 billion in bonds, but Senate and House negotiators came up with a compromise plan for $1 billion that is expected to gain approval.

Under the legislation, the state will pay a maximum of 5 percent interest on the bonds, which will only be issued if that goal can be met. State officials then plan to invest that bond money, earn an average of 8 percent a year and invest the difference between the earnings and the interest payments in KPERS. Based on that expectation, the state should be able to close the KPERS funding gap by 2043.

It might work, and it might not. The state’s credit rating has been lowered by two rating agencies within the past year, which may make it more difficult for the state to sell the pension bonds at a favorably low interest rate. The bonds also will add to the state’s overall debt, which may further erode the confidence of rating agencies as well as potential buyers for bonds to fund highways and other state projects.

The bonds also represent a gamble that the stock market won’t experience any significant downturns in the next 20 or 30 years. The 8 percent return is slightly higher than the 7.7 percent the state has earned on $500 million in pension bonds issued in 2004. That return was negatively affected by the Great Recession in 2009. Who knows what the next 30 years will hold?

Brownback has criticized past administrations that have underfunded KPERS for decades. If past governors and legislators had properly supported the fund, he says, the state wouldn’t be in its current situation. That’s true, but the current pension bond plan still seems like just another way for the state to avoid actually budgeting and paying for its KPERS obligation.

As noted above, the bond plan may work. State taxpayers should hope it does, because if it doesn’t, it could be a significant setback for the state’s already uncertain financial situation.

Turn to right not a winning strategy Washington — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was born in 1970, six years after events refuted a theory on which he is wagering his candidacy.

The 1964 theory was that many millions of conservatives abstained from voting because the GOP did not nominate sufficiently deepdyed conservatives. So if in 1964 the party would choose someone like Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, hitherto dormant conservatives would join the electorate in numbers sufficient for victory.

This theory was slain by a fact — actually, 15,951,378 facts. That was the difference between the 43,129,566 votes President Lyndon Johnson received and the

The realistic reason was to turn the GOP into a conservative weapon for a future assault on the ramparts of power. Hence in September 1964, William F. Buckley told an audience of young conservatives to anticipate Goldwater’s defeat because he had been nominated “before we had time properly to prepare the ground.” Goldwater’s candidacy had, however,

planted “seeds of hope, which will flower on a great November day in the future.” Sixteen Novembers later, they did.

Today, however, there is no need to nominate Cruz in order to make the GOP conservative. Cruz sits in a Senate that has no Republicans akin to the liberals Goldwater served with — New York’s Jacob Javits, Massachusetts’ Edward Brooke, Illinois’ Charles Percy, New Jersey’s Clifford Case, California’s Thomas Kuchel. When Jeb Bush, the most conservative governor of a large state since Ronald Reagan (by some metrics — taxes, school choice — Bush was a more conservative governor than Reagan), is called a threat to conservatism, Republicans are with Alice in Wonderland.

By disdaining “the mushy middle,” Cruz evidently assumes that the electorate’s middle — lightly partisan and only mildly ideological — is too minuscule to matter. But even if it were small, all cohorts count when in only three of the last six elections has the winner received a majority of the popular vote and the highest percentage was Barack Obama’s 52.9 in 2008.

Actually, the middle is not small, least of all in the Republican nomination process. Henry Olsen of the

Ethics and Public Policy Center identifies “four faces of the Republican Party” — evangelicals, very conservative but secular voters, somewhat conservative voters, and moderates. He says the largest group, about 35 percent to 40 percent of the national party, are the somewhat conservatives. And in presidential years, moderates are the second-largest (25 percent to 30 percent).

The somewhat conservatives “are found in similar proportions in every state” and “always back the winner.”

Announcing his candidacy, with characteristic fluency, before the Christian students and faculty of Liberty University, Cruz noted that “roughly half of born-again Christians aren’t voting” and imagined “millions” of such voters surging into the electorate. Cruz, like Shakespeare’s Glendower (“I can call spirits from the vasty deep”), hopes his rhetorical powers can substantially change the composition of the Republican nominating electorate. Skeptics of Cruz’s summoning respond like Hotspur: “But will they come when you do call for them?”

Cruz, and all other Republican aspirants, must be measured against Pennsylvania.

It is one of the 18 states that have voted Democratic in six consecutive elections

PUBLIC FORUM

and that, with the District of Columbia, total 242 electoral votes, and Pennsylvania was redder in 2012 than in 2008. Which Republican is most apt to flip Pennsylvania by accumulating large majorities in Philadelphia’s suburbs?

Any candidacy premised on conceding those 18 states involves a risky thread-theneedle path to not much more than 270 electoral votes. Writing in Politico, Democratic strategist Doug Sosnik notes that in the six elections since 1992, a majority of states have not been “remotely competitive.” Thirty-one plus the District of Columbia (these currently have 344 electoral votes) have voted for the same party in those elections. Another eight (71 electoral votes) have voted for the same party in five of the six. This is why, Sosnik says, “almost two-thirds of the $896 million spent on television” by the two candidates in 2012 was spent in five states that have been competitive since 1992 — Ohio, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Virginia.

The Republican nominee must crack the ice that has frozen the electoral map.

Cruz cannot do that by getting more votes from traditional Republican constituencies.

Sexual assault

Where is the anger?

To the editor: Safety is vital to any community.

When the majority of the community feels safe, it’s hard to understand why some people don’t feel safe. However, the local statistics on sexual assault should be enough. One in five students is sexually assaulted in our community according to the 2013 National College Health Assessment survey of Kansas University. This is in line with national statistics and cause for concern.

However, this isn’t a problem specific to KU. According to GaDuGi SafeCenter, people ages 18 to 29 make up just 30 percent of people seeking its services in the past three years.

Sexual assault was a problem before the recent heightened media attention, and it will be a problem well after this letter is published. Because of this, community involvement both on and off campus is necessary.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. GaDuGi SafeCenter’s theme — “Speak. Listen. Act.” — for April’s events is a call to action. Attending even one event about sexual assault or listening to one person who understands or has survived sexual violence can help combat rape culture. If you don’t think there is a problem, then it is especially important for you to join the conversation. Just because you feel safe, it doesn’t mean a problem doesn’t exist.

SAAM is a chance for our community to address the problem, to brainstorm causes and solutions. Most importantly it is a chance to support and believe survivors by reminding them that they are not alone. A list of event is available at gadugisafecenter.org/ SAAM. Kaitlyn Klein, Lawrence

To the editor: The state of Indiana started a firestorm of opinion against the recently passed and signed law giving “religious freedom” to Indiana residents.

The law said nothing about preventing discrimination against the LGBT community by the omission of language preventing such discrimination. The governor has found himself in a very bad spot due to the considerable disdain and disgust of this codification of discrimination by “religious” folks.

Gov. Brownback of Kansas did the very same thing by dissolving similar policy of former governor Sebelius, a Democrat. So where is the anger, Kansas? Do we stand by and allow this public official to invite similar situations in Kansas? Are we as accepting of this bigoted attitude? Do we allow “religious” opinions in Kansas the free rein to exercise discrimination against the LGBT community in our state?

Fred Whitehead Jr., Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 3, 1915: “Special Easter services will be held in all of the churches of years Lawrence tomorrow. A strenago uous effort has been put forth IN 1915 in preparing special music and programs for the services in celebration.... The weather man says no one need fear to put on his very best new clothes tomorrow for the weather prospect for a beautiful day was never better and bright sunshine may be expected for the entire day.

The people of this part of Kansas have seen so little of the sun in the past month that they will all be out to enjoy the bright day.”

“The revision of the city poll books under the direction of the city commissioners was finished yesterday afternoon and the officials say that all names that are supposed to be on the books are there now and there is very little chance of anyone being overlooked as the books have been very carefully gone over since the last election. In the revision of the books it is found that there is a slight increase in the registration, the total at the present time being 5,144. This is slightly more than it has ever been before and is due to the enthusiasm in the election which will occur on Tuesday when the people of Lawrence vote on the candidates for mayor, members of the school board, pool hall ordinance and water bonds. ... The women of the town are well registered and it is expected that they will be out in full force.”

“A union of the Commercial Club and the Merchants’ Association was favored by both the members of the special committee from the Club and by the executive committee of the Association, who met last night to consider a merger. A feeling exists among the members of both organizations that the object for which both stand and the work which both accomplish could be better carried out by a union of the two bodies.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCED ON THURSDAY the winning entry in its structural art competition to place a student artwork in the new engineering facility set to open this fall on campus: “Structural Evolution,” by Perry May, a third-year student in the five-year Master of Architecture program. The sculpture, to be suspended from the ceiling, will weigh around 2,000 pounds and measure about 35 feet long and 8 feet wide. May will work with A. Zahner Co. — an international architectural metal and glass design and fabrication firm based in Kansas City, Mo. — on the final designs for the artwork. “The stylized DNA-like shape is intended to remind its viewers of the critical role that engineers play in the evolution of mankind,” May said in a news release from KU. “I hope that my suspended piece of art will inspire the students who walk beneath to aim high and seek their rightful place in engineering history.”

FBI to overhaul crime tracking Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

The FBI is in the midst of a major overhaul of its signature tracking program that for more than eight decades has been regarded as the most reliable measure of crime in the USA. Federal authorities are attempting to convert hundreds of law enforcement agencies to an alternate reporting system that would account for perhaps scores of offenses that have never been recorded in the bureau’s annual summary of crime in the USA, part of its Uniform Crime Report.

Assistant FBI Director Stephen Morris, who oversees the bureau’s crime data collection functions, said there is no estimating the number of ”lost” offenses because of the “summary” WASHINGTON

But an unknown number of other crimes often committed in the course of those deaths — rapes, robberies, assaults, arson and others — go unrecorded.

Muslims will outnumber Christians by 2070, ending two millenniums of Christian dominance going back to the birth of Jesus, projections released Thursday by the Pew Research Center show.

Islam is projected to grow more than twice as fast as any other major religion over the next half-century because of a higher fertility rate. While Christianity will remain a dominant global religion, it will lose majority status in countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Australia.

Such a dramatic change raises questions about whether global conflicts between radical Muslim groups and Western nations with Christian majorities will become more inflamed in the decades ahead. A slight shift by one major world religion to numerical dominance may not, by itself, create problems, but underlying factors of rapid population growth in

poor countries can drive economic hardship, migration and political unrest, says David Voas, professor of population studies at England’s Institute for Social and Economic Research. Such conditions can give rise to extremist violence, he says.

“The very rapid growth of population, combined with limited opportunities even for the educated young people, but particularly for less educated ones, has created social and therefore political tensions, and that has fueled things like immigration to Western countries, political upheaval,” Voas say.

The world’s two largest religions will be near parity by 2050.

Christians are predicted to be 31.4% of the planet’s population vs. 29.7% who follow Islam, researchers say. Christians made up the same 31.4% in 2010; Muslims accounted for 23.2%.

“We can be quite confident that Muslims are going to grow rapidly in the decades ahead,” says Conrad Hackett, lead author of the report.

Iran and six world powers reached a historic agreement Thursday on a broad framework for resolving their long-standing dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, which has left the Islamic nation economically isolated.

“Today, we have taken a decisive step. We have reached solutions on key parameters for a comprehensive future nuclear deal,” European Union Foreign Affairs Minister Federica Mogherini announced in Lausanne, Switzerland.

She said Iran would not produce weapons-grade fuel and United Nations inspectors would have enhanced access to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

She said economic sanctions would be “terminated” but did not specify the timetable, which has been a sticking point of the negotiations. Iran wants them lifted swiftly, while the United States wants Iran to comply with terms of the deal first. The timing will be determined in a final accord to be completed June 30.

President Obama called the deal a “historic understanding” that “shuts down” Iran’s path to a nuclear bomb. “This deal was not based on trust,” the president said. “It was based on unprecedented verification.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said sanctions would be “terminated” when Iran implements the measures called for in the agreement. He said that would be “a major step forward.”

Mogherini said Iran’s enrichment capacity and stockpiles would be limited for a period of time and there would be no enrichment facilities outside one in Natantz. An enrichment facility built under a mountain in Fordow would be converted into a training and technical center for nuclear research and

Iran reduces its installed centrifuges by twothirds and its stockpile of enriched uranium fuel by 98%, modifies its heavy water reactor at Arak so it cannot produce weapons-grade plutonium and stops producing uranium at Fordow facility.

Inspections Gives U.N. inspectors access to Iran’s nuclear supply chain, continuous surveillance of certain facilities and access to suspicious sites.

Sanctions U.S. and European Union sanctions will be suspended after inspectors verify Iran took key nuclear-related steps. U.N. resolutions will be lifted at that point, to be replaced by a resolution limiting ballistic missiles and other weapons.

Timing Certain restrictions in the 25-year deal expire after 10 years, but sanctions may lift much sooner if Iran acts fast on its end of the deal.

development.

A new heavy water plant would be built at Arak. Iran could not reprocess plutonium — which could be used in a nuclear weapon — and spent fuel would be exported, she said.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, would be permitted to use modern technology for verification procedures at Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Secretary of State John Kerry said the political understanding reached in the framework talks “is a solid foundation for the good deal that we are seeking.”

The agreement came two days after a self-imposed deadline for a deal. Tough talks on the technically complex written agreement are to be wrapped up by June 30.

The White House released some details of the agreement, and Obama promised to fully inform Congress on the terms.

Many lawmakers, skeptical that Iran can be trusted, are threatening new sanctions because of fears Iran will try to develop a nuclear weapon in secret.

Iran has said its program is solely for peaceful purposes.

The 18 months of talks pitted Iran against the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany. Iran has insisted it has a sovereign right to develop a peaceful nuclear program.

The U.S. goal has been to limit

work that could lead to development of a weapon.

The White House said the deal achieves Obama’s goal of a oneyear “breakout” period — the minimum time it would take Iran to produce a nuclear bomb if it reneged on the agreement.

Given the many technical issues involved, reaching a final deal remains a challenge for Obama, who has made the talks on curbing Iran’s nuclear program a signature focus of his presidency.

Earlier, Zarif said a draft agreement backed by all participants was the critical last step toward reaching a firm resolution. He said a final negotiated deal “will take hopefully three months to finalize and hopefully less.”

The talks in recent weeks have played out against a backdrop of vocal opposition by Republicans in Congress and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called Iran a menace to peace and stability in the Middle East. Free of sanctions and possibly armed with nuclear weapons, Iran would be a potent threat in the region, Netanyahu has warned.

The Israeli government, a vehement opponent of the deal, will continue “to explain and persuade the world in hopes of preventing a bad (final) agreement,” Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz said.

SOCIAL MEDIA

#Anxious: A nervous vigil on Twitter Oren Dorell USA TODAY

The nuclear talks in Lausanne, Switzerland, have been a hit on social media in Iran.

Iranians young and old have been following the talks and celebrating their conclusion in Switzerland on Thursday with unprecedented intensity, according to Iran observers and hundreds of thousands of social media posts from the Islamic republic.

“I can’t remember a set of negotiations in post-revolution Iran which has caused such anxiety with people expecting results so much,” said Meir Javedanfar, an Iranian-born Israeli economic

analyst at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, Israel.

Some Iranians are hoping the economy, strangled by international sanctions, gets better. Others are waiting for news so they can run to the stock exchange to make investments because as soon as there’s a breakthrough in negotiations the Tehran stock exchange is going to go up, Javedanfar said.

As talks approached and then passed a Tuesday deadline to reach a framework agreement on Iran’s disputed nuclear program, social media posts have spiked.

One man posted a selfie of himself with Obama on the television behind him.

There have been 460,000 social media mentions of the talks

with a reach of more than 56 million people from Iran in the past three days, said Jon Tilton, an independent digital advocacy strategist.

Men drove the conversations twice as often as women, Tilton said.

“Feels like all of #Iran is sitting outside of Hospital operations room. Worrying Zarif may come out & say: Sorry. Did all I could,” Bahman Kalbasi, a reporter for BBC Persian based in New York, wrote on his Twitter account.

The anxiety was palpable in several tweets on Thursday.

“Emotions are running high for all #Iranians as celebrating #13Bedar & r sleep deprived like @JZarif & his team.awaiting results #IranTalks,” wrote Roozbeh Aliabadi @roozbehaliabadi.

ing murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. It does not record crucial details about race, gender and relationships of both victims and offenders. Neither is there specific information about where crimes take place and the identification of specific weapons involved, all of which could assist law enforcement officials and lawmakers in devising more effective anti-crime strategies.

The giant holes in the reporting method, federal authorities and analysts acknowledge, call into question the reliability of a measure that often determines how hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money is spent.

“We don’t have a good sense at all of the relationships involved in crime because we are still using a 1930s tool,” said University of South Carolina Professor Geoff Alpert, who specializes in law enforcement research.

In place of the summary crime report, the FBI is expanding the capacity of a National IncidentBased Reporting System, or NIBRS, that has the potential to account for much of what is lacking. Instead of 10 offense categories, it tracks 24; it has the capacity to record how often law enforcement officers use deadly force and whether those encoun-

The absence of such detailed data derailed recent attempts to broadly analyze officer-involved shootings in the wake of last year’s racially charged fatal police encounters in Ferguson, Mo., and Staten Island, N.Y. The long-needed overhaul has drawn the strong support of FBI Director James Comey, who recently lamented the lack of basic data as “unacceptable.”

“Not long after riots broke out

in Ferguson last summer, I asked my staff to tell me how many people shot by police were African American in this country,” Comey said in a speech last month at Georgetown University. “I wanted to see trends. I wanted to see information. They couldn’t give it to me.”

Federal officials conceded that fixes will probably not come quickly. Morris said it could take “years” to expand the system to produce a more representative sample of crime in America. Just

6,300 of nearly 18,000 U.S. police agencies funnel the more detailed crime information to NIBRS, while about 10,000 agencies provide the basic summary data.

Morris said at least 400 agencies are needed to convert the summary systems to the richer data delivery method under NIBRS for the FBI to produce a sound national report.

Among the police departments that do not participate are some of the largest in the country: New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Although a system for reporting the more detailed information has been available since the late 1980s, persistent compliance problems remain. Agencies have never been required to report.

Submission of local crime data remains voluntary. Since 2013, when Congress mandated that the FBI track human trafficking, only five of the nearly 18,000 agencies have provided information, according to FBI records.

“For whatever reason, police departments have not been willing to expend the extra effort to do it,” said Carnegie Mellon University Professor Alfred Blumstein, who has spent decades examining crime statistics. “How the FBI is going to get that extra cooperation is unclear right now.”

Morris said federal officials are in the midst of an audit involving

about 400 agencies identified for possible conversion to the new reporting system.

Richard Beary, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said completing the needed conversions will require federal money. The replacement of a records system even at a small department could cost $100,000 or more, he said.

Though there has been no rush to adopt the new system, officials hope the recent attention focused on the current system’s shortcomings could prompt change.

“The fact that the (FBI) director put a spotlight on this issue a couple of weeks ago, we have been quietly celebrating,” Morris said.

INDIANA AMENDS CONTROVERSIAL LAW Change removes fear of use to discriminate against gays, lesbians Tony Cook and Tom LoBianco The Indianapolis Star

and Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Thursday signed into law revisions in the state’s divisive Religious Freedom Restoration Act aimed at removing fears that it would allow businesses to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

The Indiana House voted 6630 and the Senate voted 34-16 to OK revisions to the “religious freedom” law.

Earlier Thursday, business, civINDIANAPOLIS

ic and sports leaders who have strongly called for a fix to the legislation flanked Indiana Republicans as they announced sexual orientation and gender identity will be explicitly protected in the new law.

The business community and civic leaders throughout the state had overwhelmingly opposed the law, which they feared would have allowed discrimination against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. But several embraced the fix that legislative leaders unveiled Thursday morning.

Speaking at the press conference were Allison Melangton, who headed planning for the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis; Jim Morris, vice chairman of the Pacers; former Indianapolis Mayor Bart Peterson; and Chief Exec-

“Our position is that this ‘fix’ is insufficient. There was no repeal of RFRA and no end to discrimination of homosexuals in Indiana.”

Bill Oesterle, CEO of Angie’s List

utive Scott McCorkle of Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

However, Angie’s List rejected the compromise, becoming the first major Indiana company to do so.

“Our position is that this ‘fix’ is insufficient,” said Bill Oesterle, CEO of Angie’s List. “There was no repeal of RFRA and no end to

discrimination of homosexuals in Indiana.”

The company, with headquarters in Indianapolis, put a planned expansion of its campus on hold after the original law was passed.

Senate President Pro Tem David Long, in unveiling the revised law, said it will “unequivocably state that Indiana’s (religious freedom) law does not and will not be able to discriminate against anyone, anywhere at any time.”

The revised law potentially could quell concerns that have made Indiana the focus of national derision for one very intense week. “It was never intended to discriminate against anyone,” Long said. “That perception led to the national protests we’ve seen.”

Former Indianapolis mayor and Democrat Bart Peterson said the words “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” will appear in state law in context of anti-discrimination for first time.

“The healing needs to begin right now,” said Peterson, an Eli Lilly and Co. executive.

The compromise legislation specifies that the law cannot be used as a legal defense to discriminate against patrons based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It marks the first time any protections against discrimination have been extended to gays and lesbians in state law. But it doesn’t go as far as establishing gays and lesbians as a protected class of citizens statewide or repealing the law, things GOP leaders said they couldn’t support.

Crystal Taxpayers helped cover some Cruz political travels Cathedral founder, 88, dies

Paul Singer USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Two months after staging a marathon Senate speech to protest the growth of government spending, Sen. Ted Cruz took a New York fundraising swing highlighted by a visit with Donald Trump — and put it on the taxpayers’ tab.

The trip, which cost more than $1,200, was one of several taxpayer-funded excursions the Texas Republican has taken to political events. Senate rules mandate that official funds — allocated to each senator to operate their Capitol Hill office — “may only be used for official purposes,” and “No official resources may be used to conduct campaign activities,” according to the Senate Ethics Committee.

In the wake of his announcement last month that he is running for president, Cruz’s use of his office funds demonstrates how murky the line can be between official and political travel.

USA TODAY recently tracked similar trips taken by Hillary Clinton, who may also be a presidential contender in 2016. During her Senate tenure, Clinton traveled on the taxpayer dime to several “official” events sponsored by political backers as she geared up for her 2008 presidential bid.

“For mixed-purpose trips, the Senate encourages offices to divide expenses based on a reasonable standard. Sen. Cruz has gone above and beyond any reasonable standard for determining official vs. unofficial costs. He places the utmost priority on ensuring prudent use of taxpayer dollars,” campaign spokesman Rick Tyler said.

His campaign defended Cruz’s use of taxpayer money for the

Campaign spokesman Rick Tyler

travel, noting that he did official business on the trip. Cruz appeared in-studio that Friday afternoon on the Fox News program Happening Now — though he had been on other Fox programs several days earlier from Washington.

Tyler said Cruz paid for nonofficial expenses of the New York trip out of his own pocket.

During an appearance in July 2013 at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, Cruz invited guests to join his grass-roots

movement to “take this country back” and to “take out your cellphone and text the word ‘growth’ to 33733,” which sent the texts back to Cruz’s campaign website.

Cruz and the regional director of his Dallas Senate office spent at least $800 in taxpayer money to travel to the conference, a Western version of the bigger Conservative Political Action Conference held near Washington each year.

The senator asked attendees to sign a petition to defund President Obama’s signature health care law, giving a Web address run by the Senate Conservatives Fund, a super PAC that spent heavily in 2014 elections to elect conservative candidates.

Cruz repeated this refrain at other events that year. The same month as the New York trip, Cruz spoke at a “Restoration Weekend” event in Palm Beach, Fla.,

hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, a conservative organization that says it “combats the efforts of the radical left and its Islamist allies to destroy American values and disarm this country as it attempts to defend itself in a time of terror.”

He urged the audience to join a grass-roots movement and log on to a website — makedclisten.org — to upload their stories about the problems caused by Obamacare. That site was operated by Cruz’s PAC, the Jobs, Growth and Freedom Fund, which maintains a “makeDClisten” Twitter account.

Any trip paid with public money should have “some kind of official public component,” said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the watchdog Center for Responsive Politics. Cruz has “inveighed against wasteful government spending,” she said.

Dozens killed in terrorist attack in Kenya Somali-based group claims responsibility for university deaths Tonny Onyulo

Special for USA TODAY NAIROBI Four armed terrorists stormed a university in northern Kenya on Thursday, killing 147 people, wounding dozens and taking hostages during a 15-hour siege until they were killed by security forces. Christians and converts to Islam appeared to have been the targets.

More than 550 students were evacuated and 79 were injured in the standoff on the Garissa University campus located about 90 miles from the Somali border, government officials said. The Somali-based Islamic terrorist group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack — the alQaeda-linked organization’s deadliest in Kenya.

Students said the gunmen separated Christians from Muslims and held hostages in a dormitory, with explosives staged around the Christian hostages, Kenya’s National Police Service said. School officials said students reported the gunmen attended morning prayers at the campus mosque

A Kenyan soldier stands guard Thursday amid a siege by gunmen at Garissa University. Four armed terrorists were killed. before heading to the dorm.

Kenyan Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery said some students were also killed during morning prayers at the mosque. Jackson Kamau, a student at the university, said the militants killed those who were likely converts to Islam. Locals can differentiate between Somali Muslims born into Islam and those who have converted because they come from different ethnic groups.

“We’ll not allow terrorists to

divide our country on religious lines,” said Aden Duale, majority leader in Kenya’s National Assembly.

Most of the 147 dead were students, but two security guards, one policeman and one soldier also were killed, Nkaissery said.

One suspected extremist was arrested as he tried to flee, Nkaissery told a news conference in Nairobi.

Heavy gunfire erupted at the college as the Kenyan military worked to end the siege. Police

Inspector General Joseph Boinett said a dusk-to-dawn curfew will be in place in Garissa and three neighboring counties starting Friday.

The White House strongly condemned the attack and said the United States was providing assistance to the Kenyan government.

“We extend our deep condolences to the families and loved ones of all those killed in this heinous attack, which reportedly included the targeting of Christian students,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Kenyan police were offering a $220,000 bounty for Mohammed Mohamud, who they believe is the mastermind of the attack.

Students who were able to escape said gunmen stormed the university, setting off explosives and shooting people just after 5 a.m. local time.

“Most of us were asleep,” said Nicholas Ntulu, a student at the university. “Every person ran for dear life.”

Al-Shabab has carried out several attacks in Garissa and across Kenya in the past few years, including the 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi that left 67 people dead, and others on mosques in Mombasa, a coastal city.

Televangelist Robert H. Schuller, who attempted to integrate the teachings of John Calvin with the positive thinking of Norman Vincent Peale, and lost his famed Crystal Cathedral to bankruptcy, died Thursday at age 88, according to the Hour of Power ministry he started.

He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2013.

After becoming one of the nation’s best-known pastors, Schuller watched his megachurch empire, which started in a drivein theater, crumble amid debt and family squabbles.

In 2011, a bankruptcy proceeding reached a $57.5 million deal to permit the Catholic Diocese of Orange to buy the glass sanctuary in Garden Grove, Calif. The remaining Protestant congregation, Shepherd’s Grove, moved to a Roman Catholic church building with half the seating capacity of its former home, led by Schuller’s grandson, Bobby Schuller.

In 2012, Robert H. and Arvella Schuller resigned from the ministry they began more than 50 years before, citing differences with its board.

Their only son Robert A. Schuller, onetime heir apparent, served as senior pastor for two years, resigning in 2008 after disputes about the ministry’s direction. Sheila Schuller Coleman, their oldest daughter, took on the pastoral role but left in 2012 and started a church nearby.

Despite the “tragedy” of family dissension that marked the end of Schuller’s career, evangelical scholar Richard Mouw said he was “one of the great church leaders in the 20th century.

“The very idea of the original congregation in Anaheim, of a drive-in church, was very innovative,” said Mouw, the former president of Fuller Theological Seminary. “It was, I think, motivated in great part by a desire to reach people who ordinarily would not come to a church.”

Schuller was best known for his four decades of televised Sunday services, Hour of Power. His program had a worldwide audience of 20 million per week.

OIL TAKES TUMBLE ON DEAL WITH IRAN Gary Strauss USA TODAY

JOE RAEDLE, GETTY IMAGES

Protesters stand on the sidewalk outside a McDonald’s as they ask that the chain raise its wages to $15 an hour on Thursday in Miramar, Fla. Protests were held in two dozen cities.

REACTION TO MCDONALD’S

Raise could spark a chain reaction Burger King, Wendy’s may have to match salary Paul Davidson USA TODAY

McDonald’s rivals could be forced to match the raises that the chain is handing out as they compete harder for fast-food and retail workers.

“As a matter of course, we routinely review restaurant employee compensation to ensure we remain competitive in the marketplace,” Wendy’s spokesman Bob Bertini said Thursday.

Yum Brands, which owns KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, said in a statement, “We will remain competitive with our wages wherever we operate to attract and retain the best talent.”

McDonald’s said it plans to increase pay at least $1 more than the local minimum wage on July 1 for the 90,000 employees at corporate-owned restaurants. It expects wages to rise to more than $10 an hour by the end of 2016.

The hike, more than 10%, follows recent similar announcements by Walmart, Target and TJX Stores and protests by low-paid workers nationwide the past two years calling for base wages of $15.

The pay hike doesn’t affect the roughly 1.5 million employees of McDonald’s franchisees. Seizing on that and what they deemed an insufficient raise, McDonald’s workers staged demonstrations in two dozen cities Thursday.

Still, other chains are likely to hoist pay at least moderately. Will Slabaugh of Stephens Research says McDonald’s franchisees and chains such as Burger King and Wendy’s will be forced over time to boost wages to remain competitive.

While fast-food revenue has

on big-ticket items like flatscreen TVs, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics.

Also, he says, restaurants are hiring fewer full-time workers and more part timers, in part to avoid the new health care coverage mandate for employees who work more than 30 hours a week.

Strong hiring is boosting wages as employers compete for a shrinking pool of available restaurant workers.

Restaurants are also catching up after doling out pay increases “As a matter of course, we that were well routinely review restaurant below the priemployee compensation to vate-sector averensure we remain competitive in age early in the economic recovthe marketplace.” ery that began in Wendy’s spokesman Bob Bertini 2009, says Ken Nisch, chairman 2.7%, according to the Bureau of of JGA, a retail branding and deLabor Statistics. sign agency.

grown modestly in recent years, “fast-casual” restaurants that serve better-for-you food, such as Chipotle and Panera Bread, have been opening outlets at a rapid clip to meet evolving consumer tastes. The fast-food players “are fighting for the same employees,” Slabaugh says.

Word of a preliminary accord with Iran to limit development of its nuclear program pushed oil futures down Thursday.

The price of Brent crude oil, the international benchmark, fell almost 5%, while U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate dropped about 3% soon after the news broke. Both later regained some ground, with Brent settling at $54.84 a barrel, down 4%, and West Texas at $49.14, off 1%.

Wholesale U.S. gasoline prices dropped 3.7% to $1.76.02 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Economic sanctions have severely limited oil-rich Iran from exporting crude, as well as some foreign investments in Iran’s oil, gas and petrochemical industries.

Iran currently exports about 1 million barrels of crude a day, down more than 50% from the 2.5 million barrels it was shipping before the U.S. and Europe imposed additional sanctions in 2012.

The Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. crude inventories rose to record levels for the 12th consecutive week last week. With the global oil markets already glutted, crude prices are likely to continue slidDROP IN OIL PRICES West Texas crude futures slipped today on news of a deal with Iran.

ing. Tanker brokers estimate that Iran has stored at least 30 million barrels in super tankers ahead of a potential comprehensive agreement limiting its nuclear plans.

“I think this news has the potential to put more downward pressure on crude and gasoline prices in 2016 and beyond,” says Tom Kloza, senior energy analyst for the Oil Price Information Service.

“The U.S. and the world still need to deal with a still-swelling petroleum glut. This is a cheap year for fuel, with or without cooperation from Iran.”

U.S. gasoline prices average $2.40 a gallon, down 32.6% from year-ago levels but up nearly 20% from a six-year low of $2.03 a gallon in late January.

Would you spit in a tube and spend $99 to find out you were related to a famous 18th-century revolutionary or a notorious 19th-century bank robber?

That’s the latest genealogical lure posed by Ancestry.com. Ancestor Discoveries, which just launched Thursday, promises to provide roughly 30% of consumers with introductions to relatives from centuries past, with details about their lives and connections to other living relatives.

There’s little doubt genealogy has shifted from being the pastime of few to a passion of many.

There are four TV shows catering to the subject on PBS as well as TLC. “The reason for the boom in interest over the years is partly due to the fact that so many Cen-

“Everyone has a story, and it’s just fun to find out who’s in your background,” she says. “I’ve also seen people become changed once they find out more about where they came from. Often when you see what your relatives had to struggle through, it puts your own life and troubles into perspective.”

Ancestry.com’s Sullivan is convinced we’re entering a new realm of personal discovery.

“If you combine what you can now find out about your ethnicity, your family and your genomic makeup, that’s a powerful combination,” he says.

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

The closely followed monthly report on jobs will arrive today on Good Friday, but stock investors won’t get a chance to react to the latest job reading until trading resumes Monday after the threeday weekend.

Wall Street is expecting job growth to tick down in March, as hiring was likely held back by the economic slowdown in the first quarter caused by wicked winter weather and fallout from the rising dollar’s impact on exports and the plunge in crude prices. The median forecasts from Action Economics’ survey of economists is for 248,000 non-farm payroll jobs, down from 295,000 in February, and for the jobless rate to stay at 5.5%.

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

Darrell Cronk, president of Wells Fargo Investment Institute, says the payroll number could come in even lower at 240,000: “Payrolls for March should be impacted by slower GDP growth of around 1.0% in the first quarter.”

Jobs Friday could also influence the timing of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes later this year. Fed chair Janet Yellen said she would like to see more improvement in employment and signs that inflation is moving back up before commencing rate hikes. Wall Street will be looking to see if workers got a pay raise, which will help push inflation up closer to the Fed’s 2% mandate.

“All eyes will remain on wage inflation in this month’s jobs report, ... and any signs of inflation build will shorten the Fed’s timetable to hike rates,” says Cronk, adding that average hourly earnings should rise 0.2% to 0.3%.

Reducing debt a good starting point for many

Q: I just inherited $100,000. Where should I invest it?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Getting a lump sum of cash is a huge help financially. But it can also be a bit of a burden putting all that money to work at the same time.

The first place to start after getting a large sum of money at one time is examining your debt situation. If you’re carrying any high-cost debt, think credit cards, that’s the best place to start. Pay that down. And it’s a good time, too, to make sure you have an emergency fund built. You should have at least six months of living expenses in cash.

After getting all your cash needs in place, then you can think about investing the rest. The best place to start — as always — is to size up your taste for risk.

There’s no one-size-fits-all portfolio or stock, and searching for one will only frustrate you. But there are easy ways to build an appropriate portfolio. A very basic place to start would be to take your age and put that percentage of your portfolio into a bond exchange-trade fund, like Vanguard’s Total Bond Market ETF (BND).

Square encircles bar tabs with Open Tickets Having more than 1 drink? New feature tracks your bill Brett Molina @brettmolina23 USA TODAY

Payments service Square is making a push to get behind the bar.

The San Francisco-based company is introducing a new feature called Open Tickets to its Square Register platform, targeting bars

and restaurants that work regularly with open tabs.

Open Tickets would allow a business to start a tab, add drinks or other items throughout the customers’ visit, then close the tab when they’re ready to leave.

Several businesses, including Aeronaut Brewery and Taproom in Somerville, Mass., have been testing Open Tickets as part of a preview program.

Owner Dan Rassi says when customers would open a tab, they would write down orders and SQUARE

Square Register now has Open Tickets to add customer tabs.

keep credit cards in a box until the tab closed.

“It was pretty annoying,” says Rassi, noting the system slowed down businesses as bartenders would line up to update tabs through the evening. Rassi says Open Tickets has “smoothed out things.”

“It’s just really intuitive,” he says. “We’re able to train people really quickly. We have a ton of new bar staff all the time, and there’s almost no training required.”

Square says the tool will start rolling out this week.

Cool, complex Don Draper is a ‘symbiotic’ creation Bill Keveney USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES Two men, one Don. There’s no mad scientist behind the creation of Mad Men’s Don Draper, but a collaborative alchemy between creator Matthew Weiner and actor Jon Hamm brought him to life.

As AMC’s four-time Emmywinning drama begins its final seven episodes (Sunday, 10 p.m.

ET/PT), the two men discussed what Hamm calls their “symbiotic” conjuring of the brilliant but tortured 1960s ad man. “Matt and I have been talking about this guy in one way, shape or form for almost 10 years.”

In casting the role, Weiner says, he was looking for a James Garner or William Holden type, someone with “a sense of humor, intelligence, conscience,” and he found him in Hamm. The actor fleshed out the character further, he says, remembering a first-season episode when Don forces partner Roger Sterling (John Slattery), who had made a pass at his wife, to walk more than 20 flights of stairs after a heavy lunch of oysters and martinis.

It’s “the look when he gets back at Roger, (who) throws up in the office. I did not know when I was writing that script, when there was no Jon Hamm, that I would have an actor where I could end an episode on an expression, on the subtlest smile,” Weiner says.

“A lot of it is a light touch. It’s more subtle than you could write.”

As much as Hamm embodies Don Draper, however, they are

CARIN BAER, AMC

Matthew Weiner with Jon Hamm (Don Draper) on the set of Mad Men. They collaborated on building Draper’s character. different people.

“I’ve met enough people who are genuinely shocked when they meet any of us on the show,” Hamm says. “‘Oh my God, you’re nothing like that guy!’ I go, ‘Well, that’s the point.’ ” Others see themselves in the character, Weiner says. “I cannot tell you how many people, male and female, young and old, tell me that they’re Don.” Last year’s epsiodes showed Don, in 1969, fighting to reclaim his job and self-respect. The final batch continues to explore character needs beyond the material realm, Weiner says.

“They have sold the company for a ridiculous amount of money.

And (last year’s) ending was that they lost Bert Cooper,” the company patriarch, who did a fantastical postmortem song and dance for Don, Weiner says. “It could not be any more on the nose than

that song The Best Things in Life Are Free. So, what else is there?”

(Sunday’s premiere offers a possible response: Peggy Lee’s classic Is That All There Is?) Although Don’s womanizing and alcoholism have frequently hurt him (or those around him), there’s no passing judgment.

“I don’t look at what’s good or bad. It’s hard to be a person,” Weiner says.

“As an actor, you can’t do it, either,” Hamm adds. “It’s for the audience to decide.”

Weiner retains an abiding love for a fascinating character.

“Don is at times a wish fulfillment, and at times a punishment for those wishes,” he says. “Part of the reason he resonated with the audience is he’s a devil that lives inside us.

“You can’t get enough of him.

You want to be with him; you want to be like him.”

New construction homes selling quickly LIZ WESLANDER

Hometown Lawrence

Numbers from the Lawrence Board of Realtors February 2015 home sales report showed modest sales among existing homes, strong new construction sales and continued low inventory.

Home sales in February totaled 45 units, down from 51 in February 2014. Among existing homes, 39 units sold in February, a decrease of 22 percent from 50 units that sold in 2014. The average sale price of existing homes was $121,818, a decrease of 39.2 percent from the February 2014 average price of $200,520.

For new construction, six sales occurred in February, up from one unit the prior year. The average sale price of new homes in February was $398,500.

Builders “are building homes that are competitively priced in comparison to existing homes on the market,” said Crystal

Swearingen, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors. “We also have low inventory right now so when something new comes up that is move in ready and priced to sell, it’s moving fast.

This includes new construction.”

The inventory of active listings in the city of Lawrence stood at 324 units at the beginning of February, down from 344 homes that were on the market at the beginning of February last year.

“We’re headed into the busiest stretch of the year and we are currently short on supply. At the close of February, listing inventory was at its lowest since we’ve tracked it in 2010,” said Swearingen. “If you’re thinking about selling your home, be sure to contact your local realtor today.”

The highest inventory on record for the Lawrence real estate

market in the last five years was in May 2011 when 676 homes were on the market.

A total of 86 contracts for sale were written in February 2015, up from 72 in February 2014. This is an increase of 19.4 percent. Contracts written during the month reflect, in part, sales that will close in the near future.

The typical time period between signing a contract on a home and closing on a home is 45 to 60 days, said Swearingen. This means that closing that occurred in February were likely from contacts written in December – a month with light foot traffic in the real estate market.

If you’re thinking about selling your home, be sure to contact your local realtor today.”

— Crystal Swearingen, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors

There were 45 existing homes sold in the Lawrence market in February, down from 51 in February 2014.

FREE STATE SOFTBALL

Making progress

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KU makes dependable receivers a priority The No. 1 required quality for success in coaching is the ability to communicate clearly. After all, coaching is nothing if not teaching.

To say that Kansas University offensive coordinator Rob Likens communicates well would be an understatment akin to saying Kentucky’s basketball team is well stocked at center.

Likens speaks directly and expresses himself in a way that makes the listener conclude, “You know what, he’s right.”

When talking Likens about KU’s unproven group of wide receivers, Likens discussed what it takes to get onto the field and to succeed once there.

His answer had nothing to do with any other coach or college football program.

Even so, it made me understand more clearly how Kansas State’s Bill Snyder has been able to flip one of the nation’s worst football programs into one of the best.

The topic of conversation was the depth of KU’s wide receivers, of which, on paper at least, there isn’t any.

Three returning wide receivers caught at least one pass for KU in 2014. Rodriguez Coleman, Darious Crawley and Tre’ Parmalee combined for eight receptions and 65 yards without a touchdown.

“The last two places that I’ve been, we’ve played no less than eight receivers in a game and most of the time 10,” said Likens, referencing his time at California (Berkeley) and Louisiana Tech, working for Sonny Dykes at both places. “So obviously, depth is very important, because as much as you can, you don’t want the dropoff to be significant when your starter goes out to get a break. Hey, if he had to go out and it’s third and 4, you don’t want the guy going in there to be a significantly lower talent level than him, so obviously you want to be able to develop guys who are dependable. That’s what you look for first. A lot of people think it’s talent. It’s not talent.”

It’s dependability.

“It’s guys who are going to be in the right spot at the right time and you know exactly when they’re going to be there,” Likens said.

“The system is going to get guys open. They may not get open for a long, extended period of time, but they’re going to be open for a point in time. But if they’re not dependable and not doing what they’re supposed to do, they’re not going to be there at the right itme.”

The first domino that busts a play.

“And then you’re going to see the quarterback do this (starts throwing motion and freezes) and then he gets sacked and everybody’s going to go, ‘Quarterback doesn’t know what

FREE STATE’S EMILY BERMEL DRIVES IN A RUN during the Firebirds’ 6-1 loss to Olathe North on Thursday at FSHS.

Firebirds effective, but missed chances costly

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Free State High’s softball team had plenty of chances to score runs against Olathe North on Thursday, but couldn’t cash in.

The Eagles had no such problems, and the Firebirds were handed a 6-1 loss in their season-opener at FSHS. The Firebirds took a 1-0 lead in the second inning,

and the Eagles responded with a five-run third inning, which included seven straight singles before recording an out.

O-North junior Alexa Sidoti, freshman Hannah Schmidt and sophomore Alexis Hodapp all had RBI singles in the third inning. Sidoti dropped a ball into right-center field and Schmidt scored two with a blooper down the right field line.

“They hit a lot of stuff off the hands,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said. “Our pitch location was good. The runs they scored weren’t necessarily on hard-hit balls. They were well-placed balls.”

In the second inning, junior first baseman Kate Stanwix hit a leadoff double and juniors Lily Ross and Liz Patton drew walks to load the bases. With two outs, senior center fielder Emily Bermel

hit a single over the shortstop’s head to left field to score Stanwix.

Free State (0-1) had a few chances to score more runs, leaving two runners on in the fourth and seventh innings, and leaving the bases loaded in the sixth. O-North pitcher Halle Brin escaped a couple of those jams with timely strikeouts.

Bragg battled nerves at McDonald’s game

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Diallo

Future Kansas University basketball forward Carlton Bragg was mighty nervous before Wednesday’s McDonald’s All-America game, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

“My heart was pounding,” the 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward from Cleveland Villa Angela St. Joseph told his hometown paper after scor-

ing nine points and grabbing two rebounds in the West’s 111-91 loss to the East in Chicago. “That was a big stage for me. I was excited. Being out here felt good.”

Bragg had one of the night’s most exciting plays — a steal and breakaway windmill slam dunk.

“I had a fast break, and it just happened,” Bragg, Rivals.com’s No. 15-rated player nationally, told cleveland. com. “I was thinking about

going between my legs, but I wasn’t quite warmed up. The windmill I felt like I could have got it so I just did it.

“You get a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and this was a great opportunity for me,” Bragg added of his enthusiasm of playing in the game. l Diallo update: KU recruiting target Cheick Diallo burst on the national scene by earning MVP honors at the McDonald’s game.

The 6-foot-9, 220-pound senior forward from Our Savior New American High in Centereach, New York, who is ranked No. 7 nationally by Rivals.com, scored 18 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and outplayed No. 1-ranked Ben Simmons and No. 3 Malik Newman, who had seven points and one point respectively.

Jayhawks place emphasis on earning their way

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

During the past five seasons of mostly disappointing Kansas football, there have been a lot of Twitter hashtags associated with the KU program. #DreamTeam2014, #JoinTheChant, #OneTeamOneChant and several other catch phrases and slogans have been shared with the masses to drum up interest in the program and give the success-starved fan base something to rally around.

This year is no different, as the folks at KU are pushing yet another hashtag to serve as the mantra for Kansas football in 2015.

Please see KEEGAN, page 3C However, while the process

remains the same, the message behind it is vastly different.

“We’ve been talking a lot in the offseason about what our goals are and what our vision is,” firstyear KU coach David Beaty said. “And every day in every way we’ve been talking about earning it.”

And from there, the new hashtag was born — #EarnIt. It’s a simple message but one that carries with it the hopes, goals and visions of a new coaching staff and an entire program.

As is the case any time a new coach takes over, culture changes infiltrate the environment little by little

from Mali, put up a double double in just 17 minutes. He impressed the media by his hustle and ability to run the court.

“A lot of people came to watch me so I’m so excited,” Diallo told Rivals.com after the game.

“That’s my first time playing in front of a crowd like that. I’m just so excited. I don’t really know what to say.”

Diallo has a final recruiting list of KU, Kentucky, St. John’s, Iowa State and Pittsburgh. The good news, USA Today reports, is KU is one of the schools with coaches who correctly pronounce his name. It’s pronounced SHECK, the paper indicates, not Check or Cheek.

“Kentucky gets it right.

I know that, and I think Pitt and Kansas get it right too,” Diallo told USA Today. “It’s funny that people still say it wrong. But I don’t mind.

I’m so used to it by now.

I just go on and answer them. I do recognize when people say it the right way since it doesn’t happen too much.”

Diallo told the Lexington Herald-Leader that playing time is a huge factor in choosing a college.

“I don’t want to go to some school and play like ... 20 minutes,” he said. “I want to go to school to play more time.

“That’s what I’m waiting for,” Diallo said of the April 26 early entry deadline for the NBA Draft. “I want to know who’s going and who’s staying.”

and ultimately come together to give the program a completely new look. The hard work, some of which is already underway, remains ahead. But Beaty feels good about the foundation that was put in place during the offseason and so far this spring.

“We’ve worked really hard to eliminate entitlement in our program,” Beaty said. “They know that they’re entitled to nothing and that they have to earn everything.

They have bought into that, and the quicker we all understand that the better off we’ll be.”

Put another way: “We’re trying to keep from talking right now and trying to go do as best we can,” Beaty said.

That last line essentially is what #EarnIt is all about.

Spots on the depth chart are up for grabs. Players are being moved up and down depending upon their most recent efforts.

And practices are full of drills based on competing. Even the coaches get involved in the competitions, sometimes by actually participating and other times by paying the price with the losing side.

“There’s a winner and a loser in everything we do,” Beaty said. “(That creates) accountability, and those guys get excited about that.”

That philosophy will be the basis upon which the latest version of the KU football program is built.

And as much as Beaty has thoughts — good and bad — about how this team will look in the fall, his sole focus is on inspiring his guys to work as hard as they can now while waiting to see what that produces later.

“To me, the answer is real simple,” Beaty said.

“We have to earn that. I can’t tell you that. I can tell ya, but it’s just words until we show it.”

l Zimmerman update: Stephen Zimmerman, a 7-footer from Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas who is ranked No. 11 nationally, scored six points and had six rebounds in 15 minutes for the losing West team.

Zimmerman has a list of KU, Kentucky, Arizona, UCLA and UNLV. “I want to take the least amount of risk as possible. It’s my dream to go to the NBA and I want to do whatever it takes to get there,” Zimmerman told USA Today.

He told the Lexington Herald-Leader: “I have days where I’m in love with one school, and then days when I’m in love with another school.

I’m still not going to try to rush it. I’m taking my time.”

He added: “I can see myself being successful at any of the five schools on my list. I really trust all the coaches, that they’re going to help me and get me better. It’s just about making that decision.” l Brown update: No. 2-rated Jaylen Brown, 6-7 from Wheeler High in Marietta, Georgia, who scored nine points for the East, told the Lexington Herald-Leader he had “about a month” to go in his recruitment. He’s considering KU, Kentucky, California, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Michigan, UCLA and North Carolina.

“If I choose a school within the next two weeks that I think I like the most, and they don’t have any NBA guys, then I won’t have to wait until whatever the NBA deadline is,” Brown said of April 26. “But, if I do, then I’ll probably wait.”

“We swing the bats better than that,” Ice said.

“The timing was a little bit off. But like I told the kids, except for one bad inning, it’s a 2-1 ballgame.

Any time you give up a five-spot in the third inning, it’s tough to catch up. We had opportunities. We just didn’t take advantage.”

The Firebirds were led at the plate by the power of Stanwix, who hit another double, this time to the bottom of the fence in center field, with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Bermel added three hits, including two infield singles.

“Lizzy threw well and I think our defense played overall well,” Stanwix said. “They just hit the ball. They just put it where they could. Not much we could do.”

Instead, the Firebirds wanted to focus on fixing their approaches at the plate to make the most of their opportunities with runners on base.

Olathe — Lawrence High senior Morgan Byrn and junior Sophie Taylor drilled home runs, but Lawrence High’s softball team lost to Olathe South, 12-3, on Thursday at ODAC. The Falcons took advantage of the Lions’ three errors for five unearned runs, scoring three runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to pull away.

Taylor, who missed the first three games of the season because of an injury, homered in the sixth inning. She also tripled in the third inning, scoring when Byrn smashed a pitch over the wall.

LHS (1-3) will play in its home opener against Olathe East on Thursday.

The first game of the doubleheader will begin at 4:15 p.m.

Overland Park — Free State’s girls soccer team was tied with Shawnee Mission East at halftime, but could not keep up with the Lancers in the second half in a 6-1 setback Thursday.

Sabrea Platz brought Free State level with the Lancers with her first goal of the season, but it was all SM East after that.

“We had a bad 12-minute stretch where everything just fell apart,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said.

three carries and 16 rushing yards into his KState career, Bryce quit the team. In three NFL seasons, two with the Philadelphia Eagles, one with the Buffalo Bills, he has totaled 1,004 rushing yards. Clearly, he didn’t lack the talent to play for K-State, but he didn’t carry the ball but three times. The Wildcats did fine without him.

Likens singled out one wide receiver as the best performer so far in spring practice and he’s smaller and not as fast as most in the unit: Parmalee.

“There is always the one guy who starts the trend of doing every little detail perfectly and he’s the guy and that’s why I’d like to point him out,” Likens said.

Veritas baseball sweeps Heritage Ottawa — Veritas Christian’s baseball team ran its record to 5-0 with a pair of victories Thursday against Topeka Heritage.

In other words, he’s dependable. The hope, of course, is that at every position the most talented players become the most dependable. It doesn’t always work that way.

Research by 247sports revelaed that none of the 49 starters in Super Bowl XLIX were fivestar recruits coming out of high school. So if you’re desperate for some good news, take solace in the knowledge that the depleted Kansas football roster has at least one thing in common with the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. Dayne Crist and Jake Heaps both were five-star quarterbacks coming out of high school.

Dear Annie: I have a 30-year-old son.

“Brad” was the perfect child, loving and affectionate, until the age of 16.

That’s when I divorced my drugaddicted husband. I sheltered the children as much as I could from what their father was doing.

When I transferred Brad to a public school, he got involved in drugs, quit school, became verbally abusive, did a stint in jail and more. I remarried a wonderful man who showed Brad nothing but love. Any disciplining was done by me.

When I found out Brad was doing drugs at age 21, I kicked him out

I have not spoken to Brad in five months. Christmas and my birthday have come and gone with no acknowledgment. My heart is just so broken.

Should I reach out to him or let him figure out life on Marcy Sugar and his own? Do I wish a happy birthKathy Mitchell him day next month? I anniesmailbox@comcast.net don’t know what to do anymore. — Brokenhearted Mom

Annie’s Mailbox

of the house. He abused steroids and who knows what else. He blames me for the way he is because I kicked him out. He claims no mother would do that. I told him it’s called “tough love” and that I refuse to watch him destroy himself.

Sportscaster reality show follows family Why do some rich people insist that their house look like an Olive Garden restaurant? These and other questions rebound in my mind when I watch reality shows like “Meet the Smiths” (8 p.m., TBS).

Following a format largely unchanged since “The Osbournes,” this reality series documents former NBA star and TV talking head Kenny Smith and his attractive family as they try to pass themselves off as regular folk.

In the beginning at least, K e n n y does most of the talking, inspiring eye rolls and smirks from his stepdaughters. Raising a blended family of children aged 2 to 21, Smith insists that he is the coolest dad on earth.

No stranger to public spectacle, Smith is clearly playing a role here, namely the fool, all the better to show off the cool intelligence of his beautiful wife, Gwendolyn OsborneSmith, and their children. So you can say that there is a great generosity to his belabored routine, no matter how tiresome or familiar.

“Derek,” the offbeat comedy series starring Ricky Gervais as an innocent working at a retirement home, streams its finale on Netflix. Poignant humor is not Gervais’ strong suit.

When did it become a mandatory pit stop for every pop or rock singer to cover jazz standards or songs from the “Great American Songbook”?

On “Annie Lennox: Nostalgia Live in Concert” on “Great Performances” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG) the singer from the Eurythmics interprets such chestnuts as “Georgia on My Mind” and “Mood Indigo.” She spends a good deal of time in Billie Holiday country, performing “Strange Fruit,” ‘‘God Bless the Child” and “I Cover the Waterfront” before crossing the tracks into the neighborhood of rock and R&B with “I Put a Spell on You,” the classic made famous by the inimitable Screamin’ Jay Hawkins.

Tonight’s other highlights

A detour for Bavaria’s Oktoberfest on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

Murder on two wheels on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum star in the 2012 adaptation of the old Fox series “21 Jump Street” (7 p.m., Fox,).

BIRTHDAYS Actress-singer Doris Day is 92. Conservationist Jane Goodall is 81. Actor Alec Baldwin is 57. Comedian-actor Eddie Murphy is 54. Rock-pop singer Leona Lewis is 30. Actress Amanda Bynes is 29.

what is wrong with his life than to accept responsibility for his own actions.

Until he figures it out, all you can do is wait and hope. But you can send him a birthday card and also find support from others in your situation through Because I Love You at bily.org. Good luck.

Dear Brokenhearted: Tough love can also be tough on the parents. You did nothing wrong by expecting your adult son to move out of the house. Even kids who are not abusing — Send questions to drugs ought to leave the nest by then. anniesmailbox@comcast.net, Brad finds it easier or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, April 3: This year you open up to new possibilities and opportunities.

Others naturally seem to gravitate toward you, and they are likely to present you with a variety of different offers. If you are single, you are in a period where you could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, your relationship will benefit naturally in this period.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have strong ideas, and you know what you are doing.

Not everyone is as direct as you are. Tonight: TGIF! Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your efficiency counts, but your bedside manner also will make a difference. Tonight: Keep it easy and low-key.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Allow your imagination to flow through whatever you do. Don’t hold back any feelings.

Tonight: In the limelight.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Honor a change of pace, but be aware that you might need to slow down a bit. Tonight: Head home early.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) News that heads your way will encourage you to move on a decision that involves potential travel. Tonight: Visit with friends, but make time for a special person.

jacquelinebigar.com

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be aware of the financial implications involved with following a loved one’s path or great idea. Tonight: Try to change topics.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’ll wake up feelings as if you have the potential to do what you desire without interference. Tonight: Others pitch in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might decide to pull back and wait to make an important decision. Make some time for friends instead. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A friendship will play a bigger role in your life than you initially had thought. Tonight: Act like a kid again.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) The responsibilities you carry and the consequent pressure could be debilitating. Tonight: TGIF with a loved one.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A friendship cannot be warmed up until the other party is ready to let it thaw. Tonight: Return a call that holds an invitation. Say “yes.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might decide to adjust your plans when a special invitation or person appears. Tonight: Time to follow your whims.
