Company’s relocation ‘a great win for Lawrence’

At the height of his profession

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

Healthier dairy cows soon may mean big business for Lawrence.

An Australian-based animal health company is moving its global headquarters to Lawrence as it works to break into the U.S. market with a product that reduces antibiotic use in dairy herds.

Integrated Animal Health on Monday announced plans to locate its headquarters in the Bioscience and Technology Business Center on Kansas University’s West Campus.

The company plans to employ two to five people in the near term but said average salaries of the firm’s business professionals are

to have more drama than usual.

Normally, the election of a city commissioner to serve a one-year term as mayor has been pretty routine stuff. It is based on tradition — more on that in a moment — and tradition

calls for Jeremy Farmer to become the next mayor of the city. Usually at this point in the process, everyone has agreed and all that is left is the formality of a vote.

School district leans toward tax increase to offset cuts

cards and follow along. In 2013, Amyx was the top vote winner in the election. He became the vice mayor in April of 2013 and then became mayor in April 2014. Farmer was the second-place winner in the 2013 election, so he became vice mayor in April 2014 and is in line to become mayor on Tuesday. Soden was the top vote winner in last week’s election, so she is in line to become vice mayor on Tuesday and then mayor in April 2016.

Boley was the secondplace winner last week and is in line to be Mike Rundle vice mayor was passed in April over for mayor. 2016 and then mayor in 2017. Matthew Herbert is the other new member elected on Tuesday. He finished third and receives only a two-year term and, by tradition, is not in the running for a mayoral spot.

Whew. Tradition can be tough to follow. But for the most part, city commissioners have followed this one. As near as anyone can remember, there have been two times in the past 30-some years that commissioners have deviated from the selection process. One time Nancy Shontz was bypassed and another time Mike Rundle was skipped.

We’ll see how this all goes on Tuesday. It does seem to have the potential to create a little tension among the commissioners, but perhaps not. The surest thing is that a new commission will be seated.

And yes, there will be some pomp and circumstance involved. There is a formal State of the City Address, a formal swearing in ceremony and, if tradition holds, a reception that includes free cookies for all.

Zealand-based Simcro announced it had chosen the center for its North American headquarters.

Hawley said the growing number of animal health companies between Manhattan and Columbia, Mo., plus the presence of KU’s pharmacy and business schools, led the company to choose Lawrence.

Blake said he thinks the Lawrence area eventually will have a concentration of animal health companies much like California’s Silicon Valley has with computer firms.

“We see the Kaw Valley becoming the Farmacon Valley of the U.S.,” said Blake, who has his MBA from KU. Company officials said research coming out of KU’s pharmacy school will be a strong magnet for animal health companies. A growing trend is for companies to figure out ways to use research on humanbased drugs and determine

how those breakthroughs also can be used in animalbased pharmaceuticals.

“We’re finding that a lot of scientists have the ideas on how to do that, but they don’t have the time or the expertise to bring those type of products to market,” said Rob Neely, CEO and founder of the company.

A major part of the company’s U.S. operations will involve working with established researchers to bring new products to market. The company currently has 13 projects in the development stage. It already has several products in the market, although none yet in the U.S. The company’s leading product is an application that decreases antibiotic use in some dairy cows by about 50 percent.

The company also has products that use natural methods to repel flies from cattle, and ticks and fleas from dogs and cats.

tives package as part of its plan to relocate to Lawrence from Australia. Brady Pollington, economic development project manager for The Chamber, said details of the proposed incentive package would be released at Tuesday’s City Commission meeting. Commissioners are being asked to refer the incentives request to the Public Incentives Review Commission, which will make a recommendation on the request.

Pollington said the package would cap the value of the incentives at $250,000 and would be based on the amount of jobs and investments the company creates in Lawrence. The company is seeking the incentives to help it with relocation and startup costs in Lawrence.

“The project is a great win for Lawrence,” Pollington said. “It is really going to shine a light on Lawrence in the animal health world.”

She was born August 14, 1927 to E.M. and Hulda (Dauber) Wagner.

She grew up in Ellsworth and lived in Russell for 44 years before coming to Lawrence. Norma was united in marriage with Cecil L. Stangle on June 11, 1951. This union was blessed with two children: Garrick and Allyn (known to some as Margaret).

Cecil preceded her in death on January 3, 2000.

Blake said that as the company expands in Lawrence, it likely will be looking for a host of business professionals in the fields of marketing, business development, sales and “medical liaisons” who will educate veterinarians and ranchers about the benefits of the company’s products.

Drought takes toll on winter wheat

Weather forecasts indicate some relief is in sight

Wichita — Rains that swept through parts of arid Kansas during the weekend missed vast stretches of parched winter wheat crops in the western part of the state.

But weather forecasts that predict heavy rains in western Kansas and eastern Colorado later this week — followed by another generous round of rain expected next week — have sparked a measure of optimism for drought-weary growers.

Professor’s research program to study trees gets funding

WINTER WHEAT CROPS IN MANY PARTS OF THE STATE HAVE BEEN DAMAGED by dry conditions over the past few months, but forecasts suggest much-needed rain is on the way.

Wheat CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

MDA Weather Services, said Monday. “It won’t end the drought by any means, but it will certainly be very good for the wheat.”

While most of the drought-stressed wheat will recover somewhat, some of the damage is irreversible, Keeney said.

MDA Weather Services, a Maryland-based commodity risk firm, is forecasting the 2015 winter wheat crop will come in at 292 million bushels in Kansas and 1.5 billion bushels in the United States. If that prediction holds, Kansas would be on track for “a little better” wheat harvest than last year’s droughtplagued crop — but not by much, Keeney said.

A year ago, Kansas farmers hauled in 246.4 million bushels, far short of the 328 million bushels the state has averaged in the past decade.

“

Almost every field experienced some level of winter injury. I wouldn’t call it winterkill.”

— Lucas Haag, northwest area agronomist for Kansas State University Already the tell-tale blue hue of the winter wheat across the parched field signals a crop in distress across much of western Kansas. A closer look reveals rolled up leaves on stunted plants, another sign the plants are struggling.

“We just need rain so bad it is not even funny,” said Vance Ehmke, who grows mostly wheat on some 4,700 acres near Healy in west-central Kansas.

On Monday, the National Agricultural Statistic Service rated 28 percent of the wheat in Kansas in poor to very poor condition. About 44 percent was reported as fair, followed by 26 percent in good and 2 percent in excellent condition.

In northwest Kansas, farmers are dealing

not only with drought, but also with freeze damage. Unseasonably warm weather early in the growing season did not give the wheat crop a chance to gradually harden off for winter before an arctic blast hit that area in mid-November.

“Almost every field experienced some level of winter injury. I wouldn’t call it winterkill,” said Lucas Haag, northwest area agronomist for Kansas State University.

The extent of the freeze damage is sporadic, but the top end potential yields of wheat in northwest Kansas has been knocked out, he said.

“We’ve got fields that are gone — dead, dead gone — and next to it (a field) might look decent,” Haag said. “It is very patchy.”

provides emergency services like food, clothing and strengths-based case management, designed to help people like Cooper move from crisis to selfsufficiency.

Today, Cooper is providing that same help to others in need as a volunteer for Penn House.

Despite being homeless, Cooper has spent an average of 20 hours a week volunteering at Penn House. And his work there is so inspiring that Roggenkamp selected Cooper as Penn House’s United Way of Douglas County 2014 Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer. Cooper will be one of 28 volunteers honored during the United Way’s 30th Celebration of Volunteers today at Haskell Indian Nations University.

“He isn’t the volunteer who gives us the most hours, and he isn’t the volunteer who has been here the longest, but he is definitely the volunteer who has overcome the most obstacles,” Roggenkamp said.

Penn House has helped Cooper take big steps

I can only show you by continuing to do what I have been doing.”

— Kennedy Cooper, Penn House volunteer

toward becoming selfsufficient. Cooper is on the list for permanent housing now, and he has a job — all thanks to the case management at Penn House.

“He is one of those people who has been put down his whole life,” Roggenkamp said. “He has never had a strong support system, and with that comes a lot of struggles. And at the same time, he has never let that dictate his mindset, demeanor and the way he treats other people. The amount of inspiration we get from working with Kennedy far surpasses what we could give to him in return. He validates us every minute he chooses to interact with us.”

Being nominated for this award acts as a muchdeserved validation for the work that Cooper has done. He has clear goals set for himself and knows what he wants to do in his life, Roggenkamp shared.

Baker University professor William Miller discovered while watching the Travel Channel has paid off with a $286,285 grant from the National Science Foundation to fund a three-year summer undergraduate research opportunity.

Miller, director of research in biology at Baker, said he saw a show on the channel about a biologist employing the single-rope climbing technique for research in trees. A former Marine Corps air traffic controller who flew a combat mission over the Gulf of Tonkin, Miller had no fear of heights and recognized the value of the technique in field research. Miller After a quick Internet and search a few emails later, he was talking with the biologist about learning and applying rope climbing in his field research.

Fast forward to the summer of 2013 and Miller was introducing eight students from colleges around the nation to rope climbing during the first year of a two-year pilot for the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates program. After members of the Tree Climbing Kansas City Club trained the students for two weeks in singlerope climbing, the undergraduates scaled trees in woods near Baldwin City,

the Baker Wetlands, the Kansas University Field Station and Kansas State University’s Konza Prairie to collect tardigrades, tiny invertebrates also called water bears because of their appearance under a microscope.

The past two summers, the pilot program’s student researchers collected 1,400 samples and extracted 1,200 tardigrades. They confirmed three new tardigrade species and others not previously found in Kansas, the Midwest or the United States.

The students also have published eight peer-reviewed papers in scientific publications.

“The kids we get are very good students,” Miller said. “They want to be published. They keep me hopping.”

The pilot program was enough of a success for the National Science Foundation to approve the $286,000 grant to continue the respect experience for three additional years. Miller said he and Meg Lowman of the California Academy of Sciences, who partnered with him on the pilot program, had to tweak the research experience somewhat by adding two-week trips at

the end of each research experience to different states so that samples could be collected in different ecosystems. This summer’s program will include a trip to Florida, while trips to Massachusetts and Oregon are planned in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The research experience will continue to include extracting tardigrades from collected samples and the opportunity to view them with a Kansas University electronic microscope. The students will conclude the summer program with a public outreach presentation at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco.

The two-week ending trips were added so that the National Science Foundation would have a new angle to fund and not because the past two summers of research haven’t made important tardigrade discoveries from local ecosystems, Miller said.

Before the students from those first two pilot programs scaled trees in local woods for tardigrade samples, biologist had only collected them at ground level. With one exception, it was discovered that tardigrades can be found in greater numbers and diversity in the canopy, Miller said.

Lawhorn wins award for coverage on Rock Chalk Park Staff Reports

Chad Lawhorn, Lawrence City Hall and local business reporter for the Journal-World, is a winner of the 2015 Kansas News Enterprise Award, given annually by the Kansas University journalism school.

The award recognizes Lawhorn’s coverage during 2014 of the financial arrangements surrounding Rock Chalk Park.

Amy Bickel and Kathy Hanks of The Hutchinson News and Tim Unruh of The Salina Journal also won awards for their series exploring the dramatic decline of water supplies in western Kansas.

In her letter announcing the award, KU journalism dean Ann Brill said Lawhorn’s stories “about the financial transactions and construction of the city recreational center showed Chad’s dogged determination. The Rock Chalk Park stories put Lawrence Public continued pressure on Library Book Van, 1-2 city officials to work p.m., Babcock Place, more transparently.”

“This is a formal recognition of what our readers have been telling us for some time,” JournalWorld Managing Editor Julie Wright said. “Chad’s oversight of city government is vital to keeping officials honest and our community in the know.

We are immensely proud of his work, and we’re glad that he is part of an increasingly strong news team.”

Lawhorn has been covering news in Lawrence since 1992. He was editor, publisher and owner of the Lawrence Business Ledger and the Baldwin Ledger newspapers. He sold those papers to The World Company, publisher of the Journal-World and joined the Journal-World staff in 2001.

Lawhorn, a native of Melvern, has a journalism degree from Kansas University. He and his wife, Kristine, live in Eudora with their two children.

Haskell progress As it is for all colleges, an accreditation process is both an opportunity and a challenge for Haskell Indian Nations University.

H

askell Indian Nations University has faced a number of challenges since it was last accredited in

2005.

Not all of those issues have been resolved, but hopefully the accreditation team from the Higher Learning Commission that arrived on campus Monday will be impressed by recent efforts to identify and address both problems and goals at the American Indian school.

Haskell President Venida Chenault acknowledges that the school is “in a period of transition,” but she welcomes the opportunity that an accreditation process offers Haskell to examine its strengths and weaknesses and set a positive course for the future.

Chenault has been in her current post for just over a year — not much time to turn an institution around. For most of the five years before her selection, Haskell was led by short-term acting presidents who didn’t fully engage with the school. The school went for five years without a strategic plan. During that time, Chenault said, the school lost momentum and lacked direction. In an effort to remedy that situation, she introduced an updated plan that was approved by the school’s Board of Regents last fall. The plan includes an updated vision and mission statement designed to guide university decisions and help boost efforts to raise funds for the school.

Funding is a big issue for Haskell, one of two colleges in the country operated by the federal Bureau of Indian Education. The Haskell Foundation, which had been inactive for more than a decade, has been revived, and Chenault says that raising outside funds for the school is a top priority.

Being operated by a federal agency also creates extra problems for the school. Chenault pointed to one example of a classroom update that received grant funding three years ago but still is incomplete because of the cumbersome federal requirements the school was forced to follow. Chenault correctly points out that legislative fixes are needed to “give us some autonomy and authority” — perhaps something more like a block grant system that would allow the school more spending flexibility — but with only two BIE colleges, it’s hard to wield much legislative clout.

The uniqueness of Haskell’s structure and mission must make it difficult for an accreditation team to measure it against other higher education institutions. The school plays a special role for American Indians throughout the nation as well as in the life and history of Lawrence; its uniqueness is a strength as well as a challenge.

Over the years, Haskell has pushed its academic programs and continued to provide an important service to American Indian students. Hopefully, this accreditation process will be both an affirmation of past efforts and a springboard for future advances.

U.S. must seek new balance in Iraq The visit of Iraq’s Prime Minister Haidar Abadi to Washington this week will test whether the White House has any Mideast strategy beyond a nuclear deal with Iran.

Even administration optimists have revised naive hopes that an accord would stabilize the region.

“We can do two things at the same time,” Secretary of State John Kerry told the PBS Newshour, meaning negotiate while standing up to Iranian interference in Yemen.

The bigger question is whether the White House has a strategy to offset Iran’s drive to dominate its neighbors, a drive that is fueling sectarian war throughout the region.

The test case is Iraq.

Abadi arrives as the war against ISIS is heating up within Iraq, the main battlefield for that struggle. But the Iraqi fight is being undercut by the machinations of Iran.

Our ill-planned Iraq war — and the heedless way President Obama quit Iraq in 2011 — boosted Iran’s influence in the region and in Baghdad.

The previous prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, intensified links with Tehran and politicized Iraq’s army, which collapsed when ISIS seized a third of the country. Abadi is a far better leader and acts as an Iraqi nationalist rather than a sectarian. He is trying to rebuild the Iraqi army — with U.S. help — but this will be a long process.

In the meantime, Shiite militias, some closely allied with Iran, have led the fight to liberate areas held by ISIS. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, head of the Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, has publicly let himself be

Past U.S. policies have helped push Iraq into Iranian arms.

Now there is an opportunity to restore a balance, if Obama is willing to focus on Iraq in a way he has not done in the last six years.” photographed alongside Iraqi Shiite fighting groups.

Yet the occupied areas are populated largely by Sunni civilians, who are fearful of the Shiite militias — and of Tehran. Those areas won’t be liberated unless local Sunnis rise up against ISIS. Here is where the United States has a critical role to play.

In recent weeks, Shiite militiamen tried to drive ISIS fighters out of Saddam’s hometown of Tikrit without the Iraqi army. They sought to show Iraqis that no U.S. help was needed. Their goal: Become the core of Iraq’s army.

But the Shiite militiamen failed. They had to let the army call in U.S. air support to help take Tikrit.

This is a teachable moment — and shows the need for the United States to help Iraq find a new balance. “We are not denying Iran is there,” said the Iraqi

ambassador to Washington, Lukman Faily. “But we need everyone to help.”

“The Iraqis were the first on the ground,” he adds, referring to the fact that Iran was the first to send in weapons and supplies when ISIS threatened Baghdad and the Kurdish capital of Erbil. “Others came in late,” he told me, a reference to the slow U.S. response. “We accepted that (Iranian) help, but we need to set boundaries. We don’t want to rely solely on Iran. Their weapons are less sophisticated than U.S. weapons, and we want less collateral damage.”

So now is the moment for Washington to strengthen Abadi’s hand and enable him to balance the role of Iran.

Take note: Abadi is a far cry from Maliki. He talks to groups and sects. He is the commander-in-chief of Iraq’s battered army, even though Soleimani may try to present himself in that role.

Abadi knows that Sunni areas can’t be liberated, let alone held, unless Sunnis believe they have a future in Iraq.

“We are trying to reconcile (Sunni) tribes into the process,” insists Faily. Indeed, Abadi has reached out to Anbar province’s Sunni leaders, who were alienated from Maliki. There are ongoing discussions about freeing Sunni civilians, swept up

by Maliki’s forces, and permitting elected Sunni leaders who had fled into exile to return. “Everyone sees reconciliation (between Shiites and Sunnis) as essential now,” Faily said.

U.S. forces are training a few thousand local security forces in Anbar, although they have been given only

light weapons by Baghdad.

The Shiite-dominated national parliament is still unwilling to follow through on stalled legislation to form and arm Sunni national guard troops.

I asked Faily what Abadi needs from Washington now.

First, he said, the United States should intercede with Sunni states such as Saudi Arabia to help Iraq. When Maliki was prime minister, Iraq’s Sunni neighbors were wary. But now, said Faily, “we face an acid test for the region to stand by Iraq and not let it be cornered.”

Second, Faily said, Iraq needs accelerated U.S. aid in rebuilding its army, along with close security coordination in the coming campaign against ISIS. “There is a regional narrative where Iraq is viewed as with or against Iran,” Faily said.

“Don’t force us to make that choice. We have to deal with everyone, but we want more U.S. help.”

Past U.S. policies have helped push Iraq into Iranian arms. Now there is an opportunity to restore a balance, if Obama is willing to focus on Iraq in a way he has not done in the last six years.

Leave Iraq to Gen. Soleimani, and ISIS will remain inside Mosul while Iran controls Baghdad and the oil-rich south. Make a clear commitment to stand

by Abadi, and his hand will be strengthened in fighting ISIS and reconciling with Sunnis. This is one key way to send a message to Iran that there are limits to its regional power.

PUBLIC FORUM

Judging Reid To the editor: How should we judge Harry Reid? (“Questionable leadership,” JournalWorld, April 7) Recent notable Senate leaders include Howard Baker, Bob Dole (Republicans), Robert Byrd, George Mitchell and Tom Daschle (Democrats). They led when the opposition was firm but loyal, compromises to achieve good public policies were possible and leaders could work together across party divisions.

That changed in 2009 following President Obama’s election. From the start, congressional Republicans vowed to attack Obama and oppose all his proposals. In 2010, Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell declared their objective was to make Obama a one-term president. There would be no compromises, no efforts to work across party lines to address the urgent financial crisis catastrophe.

Harry Reid faced implacable, unrelenting partisan obstruction. In spite of this, the momentous achievements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the ACA (Obamacare) and Dodd-Frank financial reforms, among others, passed the Senate and were accomplished.

All recent Senate majority leaders have had strengths and weaknesses — even the esteemed Bob Dole had signifi-

cant flaws — but none faced the partisan, Republican vileness that Reid has.

Harry Reid may be quirky and not a welcoming personality, but by his accomplishments he is one of the outstanding leaders in recent history. The writer’s myopic, crazed and obsessive loathing of Obama does not justify a misguided assessment of Harry Reid.

Ed Quick, Lawrence

Expand KanCare To the editor: Friday’s Journal-World brought another in a continuing years-long series of articles about the costs and consequences of incarceration and inadequate treatment of the mentally ill (“Douglas County leaders tour San Antonio mental health facilities”).

Expansion of KanCare, the state’s Medicaid program, would help address this issue. KanCare expansion would provide health coverage to thousands of mentally ill Kansans, allowing them to receive the services and medications they need and possibly preventing their entanglement with the criminal justice system.

But the governor and Kansas Legislature refuse to seriously consider KanCare expansion. In the process they harm not only the mentally ill, but the communities where they live.

Health care, like law enforcement, is

delivered locally. It is here in Douglas County, and in other communities around the state, where the costs and consequences of the lack of health insurance are felt and paid for.

Douglas County leaders are wise to consider options for humanely and effectively serving the mentally ill. Their efforts would be helped immeasurably if state leaders showed the same wisdom and compassion and accepted federal funding to expand KanCare.

Sheldon Weisgrau, Lawrence

Correct course To the editor: Kudos to Kansas University law professor Mike Hoeflich for his article in the April 8 Journal-World on the need for a Kansas constitutional convention.

You are right! I feel that we’ve got to stop this deadly political direction now before it’s too late. Let’s act now.

The lawsuit names the two Amerigroup companies as defendants and alleges they failed to adequately protect data. The lawsuit said the woman filing the case, Julie Stanturf, fears potential future harm, but Davis said her attorneys have identified other individuals who have been fraud victims because of the data breach and plan to add them to the case later.

“Their personal information right now is in the hands of thieves,” Davis said. “This is a huge, huge mistake that Anthem has made.”

Anthem spokeswoman Cindy Wakefield said in an email statement that Anthem is offering free credit monitoring, special identity-protection services for insured children and help from investigators in tracking down fraud to people who may be affected.

parlors or psychics’ and fortune tellers’ businesses. The measure attracted national attention and derision from some pundits and comedians who claimed it was unnecessary and demeaning to poor people.

The department defended the legislation in a post on its Facebook page Friday, saying it was meant to ensure state assistance money was going to necessities for those who need it.

“While the left is actively mocking the State of Kansas for passing legislation that protects taxpayer dol-

lars and encourages personal responsibility, these are the same individuals who have since 1996, stood in the way of progress, keeping low-income Kansans dependent on assistance,” the post said.

In a statement, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, called the post “partisan and combative” and said it “only further demonstrates this administration’s resentment of opposing views.” The leader of a state employees’ union and others also criticized the post.

frustration Monday night.

“I’m already getting complaints about class sizes,” board member Kristie Adair said. “I can’t imagine if we decided to start cutting $2 million and increasing classes.”

Referring to the block grant system’s lack of consideration for enrollment, board member Randy Masten said, “Heaven forbid they do their job rather than find an easy way out.”

Also Monday, the board received an update on the implementation of new sexual education standards that it adopted in May 2013.

Sarah Oatsvall, the district’s assistant director of teaching and learning, said the National Human Sexuality Standards went live across the entire district for the first time this

year and that it’s “been a real success.”

Prior to the new standards, the district subscribed to the Kansas State Department of Education’s rubric and provided instruction to students in kindergarten through fifth grade, as well as ninth grade. The national standards add more instruction in sixth and eighth grades.

Oatsvall said that less than 1 percent of eighthgraders and less than 2 percent of ninth-graders have opted out of the classes so far this year.

“We are the first district in the state to (implement the national standards) and it has gone very well,” Oatsvall said.

million dollars in total state aid for the next two school years (the block grant system is expected to only be in place for two years while the state drafts a new funding formula), but much of that money is required to go toward the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and its virtual school.

The block grant system also does not compensate schools for increased enrollment, nor are the grant amounts tied to how many district students are at-risk or English-as-a-secondlanguage learners.

first-term initiatives included turning over the management of the state’s Medicaid Davis program, which provides health coverage to the needy and disabled, to three private health insurers. One is Amerigroup Kansas Inc., affiliated with Amerigroup Corp., an Anthem subsidiary.

Hackers in December or January broke into an Anthem database with information for about 80 million people, including names, employment details and Social Security numbers. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said nearly 165,000 past and current recipients of state health coverage could have been affected.

Topeka — The Kansas Department of Children and Families was criticized

by Democrats on Monday for a post on its Facebook page saying “the left” had mocked the state and impeded progress on welfare reform. The agency said the comment was appropriate.

The state Legislature passed a bill in early April barring welfare recipients from spending cash assistance from the state at adult-oriented businesses or other places, including swimming pools, movie theaters, nail salons, tattoo

Topeka (ap) — A former candidate for Kansas governor said Monday that he and other attorneys who are suing two subsidiaries of Anthem Inc. can show that individuals were harmed after hackers breached the health insurer’s computer networks.

Paul Davis and other attorneys who filed the lawsuit earlier this month in Douglas County District Court on behalf of a Kansas City, Kan., woman also are urging participants in the state’s Medicaid program to consider joining the case. A similar lawsuit was filed in February in St. Louis County, Missouri.

Davis, of Lawrence, is a partner in one of three law firms involved in both lawsuits. He also was the Democratic nominee for Kansas governor last year, narrowly losing to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

MIAMI Sen. Marco Rubio launched his presidential bid Monday calling for a “new American Century,” framing the 2016 election as a “generational choice” that must leave behind the policies — and politicians — of the past.

Speaking in his hometown and inside the Freedom Tower — the Ellis Island for Cuban immigrants in the 1960s and ’70s — Rubio made his case for the Republican nomination by pointing to his immigrant roots.

“In many countries, the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and powerful,” he said. “But I live in an exceptional country where even the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and the same future as those who come from

Kentucky. But Rubio’s speech was dominated by the idea of a new generation leading the country.

That was a clear shot at Clinton and former Florida governor Jeb Bush, a former mentor and a likely rival for the GOP nomination.

“We Americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future,” Rubio said.

A former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, he

had a stunning rise in 2010, winning election to the U.S. Senate with Tea Party support. In Washington, he has focused on tax reform and foreign relations, challenging President Obama’s strategy at each step. In 2013, he helped pass an immigration bill through the Senate, but angered both sides of the debate by backing away from it.

At his kickoff rally, he vowed to pursue a robust foreign policy where America “accepts the mantle of global leadership.”

Rubio faces an uphill climb, and protesters outside reminded him of what awaits on the campaign trail. Still, the moment was poignant for people like Bettina Rodriguez Aguilera, who arrived from Cuba with her family in 1961, and was processed into the U.S. at the Freedom Tower: “This is our Statue of Liberty. This is a great moment because not only is he a Cuban-American, he represents the American Dream.”

v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Secretary of State John Kerry, members of Congress and Israeli leaders are protesting a decision

by Russian President Vladimir Putin to lift a ban on transferring one of the world’s most advanced anti-aircraft systems to Iran.

The decision reverses a 2010 Russian ban and is effective immediately, according to Russian state-owned media site RT. The reversal comes less than two weeks after Iran reached a framework agreement with world powers, including Russia and the United States, on limiting its nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions.

Israel, which says Iran may still try to develop a nuclear bomb in secret, has threatened to use military force to prevent that from happening. The defense system

Putin agreed to deliver would make an Israeli attack even more difficult than it already would be.

Kerry expressed his concerns Monday in a call with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf. “We don’t believe it’s constructive at this time for Russia to move forward with this,” Harf said.

Yuval Steinitz, Israel’s intelligence minister, said the Russian decision is evidence that a framework agreement on curbing Iran’s nuclear program, announced April 2, helped legitimize Iran and led to Putin’s decision.

“Instead of demanding Iran put an end to the terrorism it instigates in the Mideast and around the world, it is being allowed to attain advanced arms which will only spur its aggressions,” Steinitz said.

Lavrov said the decision was made due to “substantial progress” in negotiations between world powers and Iran on curbing that country’s nuclear program.

WASHINGTON Nearly one-quarter of the lawmakers who left Congress recently are working in positions aimed at influencing government policy, even though they are barred from lobbying their former colleagues and Capitol Hill staff.

At least 18 former senators and House members have signed on with lobbying and consulting firms, trade groups, law firms and other organizations with business before the federal or state governments, a USA TODAY tally shows. The analysis examined the 77 people who served in the last Congress and either retired, resigned or lost their seats. Most left in January.

Former House members are barred from lobbying Congress for a year after they leave office; former senators face a two-year ban. Ex-lawmakers still can lobby the executive branch and provide behind-the-scenes advice to companies and other organizations trying to influence federal legislation. They also can lobby state and local officials.

“They are cashing in on their Rolodexes,” said Craig Holman of the left-leaning advocacy group Public Citizen, one of the watchdog organizations that pushed for ethics rules in 2007 that banned lobbyist-funded travel and gifts and tightened restrictions on post-congressional employment.

Even without talking to their former colleagues, former members of Congress “can provide a lobbying shop with valuable insider information,” he said.

At summit, undercurrents of change Rick Jervis

Presidents Castro and Obama talk Saturday on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas in Panama City.

@MrRJervis USA TODAY

PANAMA CITY For a gathering known mostly for its staid policy speeches, this year’s Summit of the Americas had its share of political fireworks.

There were fisticuffs between opposing Cuban activists; reports of the killer of iconic Cuban leader Che Guevara mingling with protesters; Cuban President Raúl Castro’s opening speech recounting the history of U.S. aggression toward the communist island; Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s alleging murder plots against him by the U.S. while professing his admiration for Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. And, of course, “the handshake” — that historic moment frozen on a digital photo file showing President Obama shaking hands with Castro, snapping a five-decade silent streak between the two countries’ top leaders.

But simmering below the pyrotechnics were signs of historic policy changes between the U.S. and Latin America and a taste of things to come. The USA’s steady rapprochement with Cuba, including allowing it into the summit after barring it each year since its 1994 launch, was repeatedly applauded by Latin

American leaders here and could lead to better ties and more business activity in the region.

Richard Feinberg, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and an architect of the original summit, told me he’s noticed a palpable change at this year’s summit: more cooperation, less bickering. Obama’s shift toward Cuba gives him political muscle for left-leaning Latin American countries, such as Ecuador and Bolivia, paving the way to greater cooperation in counterterrorism and immigration.

“If (Castro) can shake hands with the president of the United States with a smile on his face,” Feinberg said over cups of

Group, with former aides. The firm has drawn seven clients, including a charter school and Aerojet Rocketdyne, a defense contractor.

“A lot of people really don’t know how Washington works, especially back home in the district,” said McKeon, a California Republican. “Based on 22 years serving in Congress and getting bills passed, you kind of learn how the system works.

“If you can help somebody out with a problem, that’s a satisfying thing,” said McKeon, 76. “What else am I going to do? Sit in a rocking chair?”

Another former congressman, Virginia Democrat Jim Moran, joined the law and lobbying firm McDermott Will & Emery in January as a “senior legislative adviser.” Moran, who served 12 terms in Congress, said “there’s no comparison” between lobbying lawmakers directly and advising clients on how to navigate Washington. “After 24 years, you gain some understanding and knowledge of the process, the politics and the people,” he said. “But it probably would be more of value if I could sit down with my friends on the Hill and discuss things.”

Moran said he avoids talking

business with current lawmakers, but that doesn’t mean he never interacts with them. For instance, he recently hosted a fundraiser for the No. 2 Democrat in the House, Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer. As a former lawmaker, he enjoys another perk: He can work out in the House gym alongside his ex-colleagues.

Other ex-lawmakers with lobbying-related jobs include: uFormer Iowa congressman Tom Latham, who has become a partner in the consulting and lobbying firm that now bears his name, Hecht, Latham, Spencer & Associates. The Republican will provide “strategic and legislative” advice to clients, the firm said.

Latham, who retired this year after 10 House terms, did not return a telephone call. uEx-Nebraska congressman Lee Terry, who recently joined the Washington office of Kelley, Drye and Warren as a “senior government relations and public policy adviser.” Terry, an eightterm Republican, did not respond to an interview request. uFormer California congressman Henry Waxman, a political power broker on Capitol Hill for four decades, recently became chairman of his son’s communication and consulting firm. Waxman said he opted against joining a lobbying firm because he want-

espresso, “who are they to accuse the United States of being stuck in an imperialist age?”

Signs of the new courtship are already emerging. At the summit, the White House announced it’s asking Congress for $1 billion to promote economic growth in Central American countries, and there are plans to exchange 200,000 students between the U.S. and Latin America over the next year — initiatives mostly muted by the Cuba noise.

This is good news for the more than 50 million Hispanics in the U.S. with a connection to the region, as well as U.S. businesses. Around 40% of U.S. ex-

ed to represent “clients who are fighting for some of the things I was fighting for in Congress.”

Waxman, a California Democrat whose accomplishments include expanding Medicaid and helping to pass the 2010 Affordable Care Act, said his client roster includes environmental groups, hospitals and community health centers, which rely on federal funding to care for low-income patients. Waxman is not ruling out registering as a lobbyist when his one-year cooling-off period expires.

Dozens of other lawmakers who left Congress in January still are looking for work or have opted out of lobbying entirely.

Holman said the pace of exlawmakers becoming lobbyists may be slowing as a result of the rule changes. A Public Citizen study of former lawmakers who left Congress from 1998 to 2006 found 42% had become registered lobbyists, Holman said.

A separate analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics found that just 18 of the 97 lawmakers who left Congress in 2012 — or nearly 19% — went on to work for lobbying firms.

Other experts said the route to lobbying isn’t easy. Firms and associations seek to hire people who had clout and a long tenure on Capitol Hill or those who had successful careers and management experience before they came to Washington, said Julian Ha, a partner at Heidrick & Struggles, an executive search firm. “Just because you were a lawmaker doesn’t mean you are going to get a great job,” he said.

IN BRIEF LONG PRISON TERMS FOR EX-BLACKWATER GUARDS

A federal judge in Washington gave out prison terms of 30 years to life on Monday to four guards for Blackwater Worldwide convicted in the 2007 fatal shooting of 14 unarmed Iraqis in Baghdad, news organizations reported.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth handed down a sentence of life in prison to Nicholas Slatten of Sparta, Tenn., convicted of murder in the incident in Baghdad’s Nisoor Square in which the American security officers fired assault rifles and grenades into heavy daytime traffic, The Washington Post reported.

Three others — Paul Slough of Keller, Texas; Evan Liberty of Rochester, N.H.; and Dustin Heard of Knoxville — were convicted of manslaughter and received sentences of 30 years plus one day, according to the Post.

Along with the deaths, at least 17 Iraqis were hurt in the incident that further strained U.S.Iraq relations. The violence also pointed a spotlight on the issue of whether private security guards should be used in a war zone.

ports go to Latin America and the Caribbean. The stronger the ties, the better the business.

But the summit also revealed the diplomatic challenges that lie ahead. Pro-Castro activists — dispatched to Panama City by the Cuban government — broke up a demonstration of anti-Castro protesters by beating some of them, including some women.

The next day, the State Department released a statement denouncing the incident.

“If that’s how they treat us here, imagine what they do to us in Cuba,” said Cuban rocker Gorki Águila, an outspoken critic of the Castro regime in town for a protest concert. Águila said last week’s incident was business as usual for the Cuban state. He’s been jailed twice for criticizing the government and has artist friends in prison, he told me, including Danilo Maldonado, better known as El Sexto, jailed in December for attempting to release two hogs in a public square scrawled with the names “Fidel” and “Raul.”

Obama has said he will continue to “respectfully” denounce aggression toward free speech — in Cuba or anywhere else in the hemisphere — while maintaining dialogue with those countries.

It seems to be a working formula for a renewed courtship of our neighbors to the south.

A white, reserve sheriff’s deputy was charged Monday in Oklahoma with manslaughter in the death of an unarmed black suspect whose shooting while on the ground at officer’s feet was captured on videotape.

Second-degree manslaughter charges were filed against reserve deputy Robert Charles “Bob” Bates, 73, in the shooting death of Eric Courtney Harris, 44, District Attorney Stephen Kunzweiler’s office in Tulsa said.

“Mr. Bates is charged with second-degree Manslaughter involving culpable negligence.

Oklahoma law defines culpable negligence as ‘the omission to do something which a reasonably careful person would do, or the lack of the usual ordinary care and caution in the performance of an act usually and ordinarily exercised by a person under similar circumstances and conditions,’ ” Kunzweiler said in a statement.

The release of the dramatic video has fueled controversy surrounding the shooting of an unarmed suspect who was already on the ground and follows a public outcry over a series of similar cases around the country.

NATION/WORLD With Rubio in, Bush should watch back The mentor now has a protege problem Susan Page

spage@usatoday.com USA TODAY

The conventional wisdom used to be that if Jeb Bush decided to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, one-time protege Marco Rubio would demur and wait his turn.

Well, Rubio’s formal announcement Monday that he’s in the race proves that assumption wrong. Indeed, the generational message the freshman Florida senator delivered and the iconic setting he chose underscores the advantages he has over Bush, who leads in most early national polls.

“In many countries, the highest office in the land is reserved for the rich and powerful,” Rubio told a friendly crowd of about 1,000 people in Miami who chanted “Marco!” “But I live in an exceptional country where even the son of a bartender and a maid can have the same dreams and WASHINGTON

the same future as those who come from power and privilege.”

He didn’t need to say Bush’s name — the son of one president and brother of another — to draw the contrast between them.

In a prospective GOP field that is already large and could grow, Rubio is one of the handful — including Bush and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — now seen as having the credibility to land the nomination. That defies concern about his youth (he’s 43), his depth (four years in the Senate) and his ability to raise money — one of Bush’s big assets.

But Rubio has significant assets of his own, including a compelling personal story, an optimistic message promising “a new American century” and an earnest manner that connects with audiences. He’s broadly acceptable to feuding GOP factions.

He was elected to the Senate in 2010 with Tea Party support, but as a former speaker of the Florida House he’s also in good stead with establishment Republicans.

In an NBC/Wall Street Journal Poll last month that tried to test candidates’ viability — that is, the percentage of likely GOP primary voters who could see themselves supporting a contender minus the percentage who couldn’t see

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., greets people after anouncing his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination. themselves supporting him or her — Walker and Rubio led by far.

Bush did a little better than break even. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in negative territory.

Then there’s this: Bush may be married to a Latina, but Rubio is Hispanic himself — and Republicans’ hard line on immigration has repelled many voters in that fast-growing demographic group.

Rubio’s presence on the national ticket, as president or vice president, could build bridges.

That said, Rubio faces chal-

lenges. He’s untested on the national stage. He first supported a bipartisan immigration overhaul that included a path to citizenship for some of those now in the U.S. illegally, then backed away from it. Some Tea Party conservatives who saw his initial support as betrayal haven’t forgotten that, nor have the immigration activists who blame him for not following through. A small group staged a protest outside the hall.

And his financial and political base overlaps with Bush’s. They

live just miles apart, and Bush was an important ally when Rubio was rising in Florida politics.

But while Bush’s last name is helpful in raising money and making political connections, it also creates complications. He’ll have to address the records of his father and brother in the White House, including the unpopular war in Iraq. As with Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign, he projects the unhelpful image of a privileged political dynasty.

The setting Rubio chose Monday spotlighted his family’s story.

He announced at Freedom Tower, where immigrants seeking political asylum from Fidel Castro’s Cuba were processed. His parents emigrated from Cuba before Castro took power.

Rubio’s message emphasized generational change, making an explicit comparison with Hillary Clinton, who announced her candidacy with a two-minute video Sunday. “Just yesterday, a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to yesterday,” he declared, generating “boos.”

“I have heard some suggest that I should step aside and wait my turn,” he said, to shouts of “No!” “But I cannot.”

Protege no more.

Jodi Arias sentenced to natural life in prison Judge chooses harshest option after jury can’t agree on death Michael Kiefer

The Arizona Republic

Jodi Arias, who was convicted in 2013 for the 2008 murder of her lover, Travis Alexander, was sentenced Monday to natural life in prison after two juries could not reach an unanimous decision on whether to sentence her to death.

Monday’s ruling ended one of the more dramatic and notorious murder trials in recent Arizona history.

After Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens announced the sentence, the victim’s sister, Tanisha Sorenson, shouted, “Burn in hell!”

Stephens had the option of giving Arias natural life or life in prison with the possibility of release after 25 years.

In Arias’ final plea to the judge, she acknowledged what she had done and the pain it had caused.

“I wish there was something I could do to take it back,” she said.

Arias’ mother made a plea for a lighter sentence. “I know that she is not the monster she is made out to be,” Sandy Arias said.

And Arias’ attorney, Jennifer Willmott, asked that the judge “not base this on what a mob on PHOENIX

social media says.”

Willmott said Arias is “repulsed by what she did, she really is. If she cries, people call them fake tears, if she doesn’t cry they say she’s evil.”

Alexander’s family spoke earlier in the hearing. Sorenson said to Arias, “Stop murdering my brother again and again by smearing his name.”

Another of his sisters, Hillary Wilcox, reminded the courtroom of what Alexander and his family lost.

“He wanted to get married, he wanted a family,” she said. “I am married. I have a family, a family he will never get to meet.”

Stephens listened intently to both sides, then sentenced Arias to the harsher penalty.

The crime “was especially cruel,” the judge said. “It involved substantial planning and preparation. ... The defendant destroyed evidence ... and went to great lengths to conceal her involvement.”

She said she saw no reason for leniency.

Arias probably will appeal her conviction, as her attorneys made a detailed record of their allegations of misconduct against prosecutor Juan Martinez over the course of two trials. And the

criminal defense community, meanwhile, is assembling a dossier on Martinez with the intent of filing a complaint to the State Bar of Arizona regarding his conduct in the Arias case and others.

Alexander, 30, was found dead in the shower of his Mesa, Ariz., home in June 2008. He had been shot in the head and stabbed nearly 30 times, and his throat had been slit.

space and regaled in social and mainstream media alike, Arias was found guilty of first-degree murder. But the jury that convicted her was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on whether to sentence her to death or to life in prison.

A second jury was seated in October 2014 to again consider the life-or-death sentence. Although Stephens did not allow the retrial to be broadcast in any fashion, it still generated strong emotion on social media outlets.

The retrial took almost as long

The crime “was especially cruel.

It involved substantial planning and preparation.”

Judge Sherry Stephens

ately pointed to Arias as a likely suspect. And explicit photos recovered from a digital camera found in Alexander’s washing machine showed that the murder occurred after a tryst between Arias and Alexander.

They had photographed each other naked in bed, and Arias had photographed Alexander in the shower where he was found. One photo even showed his bloody body lying on the floor.

After a salacious trial that was live-streamed through cyber-

as the first trial — nearly five months — and that jury ended in a deadlock as well, with a single holdout against the death penalty.

Under state law, Arias cannot be tried again and must be sentenced to life in prison.

The holdout juror — Juror 17 — was subsequently outed on social media and harassed to the point of needing police protection.

The jurors who voted for the death penalty accused Juror 17 of having an agenda.

Hillary Clinton is on the road to Iowa — literally.

The leading Democratic presidential contender set off Sunday for events in the first-in-the-nation caucus state in a van nicknamed “Scooby” because it reminds Clinton of The Mystery Machine featured on Scooby Doo Where Are You!, the TV cartoon hit of the 1970s.

The trip followed her long-expected announcement that she would make another run for president.

“When Hillary first told us that she was ready to hit the road for Iowa, we literally looked at her and said, ‘Seriously?’ And she said, ‘Seriously,’ ” said aide Huma Abedin, according to the Associated Press.

“This was her idea, and she’s been really excited about it since she came up with it.’ ” Without trafAFP/GETTY IMAGES fic, Google Clinton Maps says that’s a little more than 1,000 miles or almost 16 hours of uninterrupted driving time between Clinton’s home in Chappaqua, N.Y., and Monticello, Iowa. She’ll sit down with students and teachers at Kirkwood Community College in Monticello on Tuesday, then heads to Norwalk, Iowa, on Wednesday for a small-business roundtable.

ABC News reported Clinton was spotted Monday afternoon at a Chipotle restaurant in Maumee, Ohio, which became a trending topic on Twitter.

Chris Learn, 19, told CNN he saw Clinton at a Pilot gas station Sunday in Pennsylvania. “I just saw her and I was like, there’s no way that’s her!” said Learn, a student at Penn State Altoona. “She didn’t really say why she was there, but I was guessing it was for presidential stuff.” Clinton herself tweeted an image Sunday after meeting “a great family.”

As a 2000 Senate candidate, Clinton traversed New York in a van. Time found a passage in Daniel Halper’s book, Clinton, Inc., that says the candidate eschewed the first lady’s limo in favor of “an armored brown van” because “the optics weren’t right.”

Fossil, Whole Foods, Kinder Morgan take the minimalist route Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Have an extra buck? You’ve got enough to hire CEOs of three giant U.S. corporations.

CEOs often makes tens of millions a year — or even more. But not these three. Richard Kinder of energy pipeline operator Kinder Morgan and John Mackey of organic food retailer Whole Foods made just $1 last year. Kosta Kartsotis of watch maker Fossil worked for free last year — as he did for at least the two previous years. They are the only CEOs

among Standard & Poor’s 500 companies to make this little, according to a USA TODAY review of data from S&P Capital IQ. The issue of CEO will be in the spotlight this week as the final big wave of proxy statements, the annual disclosures of executive compensation, are filed by S&P 500 companies.

The concept of a CEO making $1 might seem like a corporate mirage that ignores other pay such as stock options or bonuses.

Not in these cases. The figures include total reported pay for the fiscal year — according to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidelines — including salary, bonuses and stock grants.

Kinder, who co-founded the company that transports natural gas through pipelines, got one

John Mackey, co-CEO of Whole Foods, also earned just a buck in 2013. He doesn’t get stock or bonuses, either.

dollar in salary. He got no bonus, no stock grants or other perks like personal usage of a company jet. The company says he has never collected bonuses since cofounding the company in 1997.

Investors got much more than they paid for. Shares of Kinder

Morgan rose 17.5% last year — beating the S&P 500’s 11.4%. And that doesn’t even include the fact that Kinder yields 4.3% — which is double the yield of the market.

Whole Foods might be called “whole paycheck” because of its prices. But you probably don’t want Mackey’s paycheck. The CEO was paid a buck in salary in the most recently ended fiscal year.

And that’s it. No stock. No bonuses. Mackey only got a buck in 2013, too, and only earned $69,019 in 2012.

Things didn’t work out so well for Whole Foods investors.

Shares of the company fell 35% last fiscal year ended in September — while the market rose 17%.

These CEOs may only make a buck, but there’s still money to be

made at the companies. Kinder — very wisely in hindsight — never sold a single share of the company he co-founded.

The financial payoff of being a huge shareholder is even better than getting a typical CEO paycheck: dividends. Morgan owns roughly 245 million shares. That means he hauls in dividends of $400 million a year. That’s larger than the total pay of any S&P 500 company to report pay data so far for 2014.

Over at Whole Foods — while Mackey earns less than the checkout clerks, the same can’t be said for his fellow co-CEO. Walter Robb earned $2.7 million last fiscal year.

That’s well below the roughly $13 million made by the average S&P 500 CEO reported so far.

U.S. keeps AAA rating Fitch Ratings — one of the biggest providers of credit ratings for debt — affirmed its pristine AAA rating for the U.S. on Monday. Getting the top rating is a huge vote of confidence. The United States’ long-standing gold-standard reputation came into serious question in August 2011 when Standard & Poor’s took its rating on federal debt to AA+ from AAA. S&P is another top credit ratings agencies. S&P’s rating remains at AA+, a notch below. The strong dollar was a part of Fitch’s rating.

Wage activists crash hedge fund conference A union group called the Hedge Clippers crashed a starstudded hedge fund conference in New York on Monday, demanding select investors help them achieve “fair wages” from chains like Darden Restaurants, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King.

“Bill Ackman, show me $15,” protesters shouted, referring to the hedge fund billionaire who runs Pershing Square Capital. The group is demanding wages of $15 an hour. The protest, which took place at the 2015 Active-Passive Investor Summit, lasted for about 20 minutes before it dispersed under threat of police action.

Cakebread Cellars makes wine the old-fashioned way, employing experts to use their eyes, nose and palate to produce coveted Napa Valley nectar.

But at the root of such success is water, which in California is fast becoming as precious as a rare Cabernet Sauvignon. That’s why behind the scenes here, hightech tools are helping this cutting-edge winery maximize water through yet another drought.

“Technology gives us a much clearer picture of what’s going on with our water usage,” says Toby Halkovich, Cakebread’s director of vineyard operations, as he clips a handheld leaf porometer to a grape leaf to monitor its moisture content. “The more accurate our information, the less water we waste.”

When California Gov. Jerry Brown on April 1 issued an un-

precedented statewide mandate to cut water use 25% by December, he targeted commercial and residential properties because the state’s $45 billion agriculture business was too vital to disrupt.

But agriculture gulps down 80% of annual water consumption, so it stands to reason that the biggest savings won’t come from ripped-up residential lawns but rather from reduced use of

Boston-based Cambrian Innovation has seen a spike in California inquiries for EcoVolt, a self-contained system that uses electrically active microbes to both purify wastewater and generate energy-producing methane gas. EcoVolt is aimed at food and beverage companies, and is in use by a few California wineries and breweries.

Airlines log worst performance in 5 years Fewer flights on time, more bags lost and more complaints Charisse Jones USA TODAY

Airline performance dipped last year, with fewer flights touching down on time, more bags mishandled and — perhaps not unexpectedly — more fliers logging complaints.

The results were the worst since 2009, according to the latest airline quality rating report from Brent Bowen, dean of the College of Aviation at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Prescott Arizona campus and Dean Headley, associate professor of marketing at Wichita State University.

Looking at the industry as a whole, 76.2% of flights arrived on schedule last year, compared with a 78.4% on-time arrival rate in 2013.

2012 PHOTO BY H. DARR BEISER, USA TODAY

Looking at the industry as a whole, 76.2% of flights arrived on schedule last year, compared with 2013’s 78.4% on-time rate.

There were also more reports of mishandled luggage in 2014, with 3.62 such complaints per 1,000 fliers vs. 3.21 complaints the previous year.

Complaints increased to 1.38 per 100,000 fliers last year, from 1.13 per 100,000 air travelers in 2013. Most complaints — 62.7% — centered on issues with customer service, luggage or the ac-

tual flights. The report says that such markers don’t bode well for the flying public, particularly when the diminished service comes at a time when airlines are consistently making profits, and have a financial tailwind from lower fuel costs.

Only Virgin America, Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines showed an uptick in scores.

The report’s authors said that the reasons for the performance decline in 2014 were difficult to determine. But a wave of industry mergers, culminating with the union of American Airlines and US Airways, may be part of the explanation.

“The airlines are enjoying their highest level of profitability right now, and the fact that performance is decreasing can tell us or suggest that they’re not focusing on the customer,” Bowen said.

“As the airlines consolidate, there is less incentive to make the customer happy.”

Victoria Day, spokeswoman for trade group Airlines for America, said that given the challenges U.S. carriers faced last year, airlines performed well. “The airlines actually posted another strong operational year amid severe winter weather in the first quarter, a stormy spring and summer, and the fire at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) En Route Center in Aurora, Ill., in the fall,” Day said in an email.

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

Wall Street is all about expectations. The lower the bar, the better the chance for individual companies, the economy and market to top forecasts.

Well, expectations for U.S. companies’ first-quarter earnings are low. Heading into the week, analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S were forecasting a 2.9% drop in earnings for companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index. If that negative growth persists through the quarter’s end (it is not uncommon for the index to beat expectations by, say, 2 to 4 percentage points), it would mark the first negative quarter for profits since 2009.

Still, the bar for profit beats has been set so low that companies

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

won’t have to jump as high as an Olympic high jumper. Most companies will able to walk over the lowered bar.

As usual, Wall Street will play the parlor game of “beat” lowered forecasts. “Remember, earnings estimates have already been lowered markedly, so it is time to play ‘beat the lowered number!’

And markets may just like that,” says Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management.

The stock market, now, “remains split,” he says, but looks “poised to break out of the recent range” as earnings season begins.

Kaltbaum says he’s watching the following key levels: Dow 18,300 (the blue chip gauge closed at 17,977 Monday), 2120 on the S&P 500 (Monday’s close: 2092) and 5043 on the Nasdaq (Monday’s close: 4988). “A move above potentially gives the market another leg up,” he says.

Foreign stocks are usually worth the risk Q: Is now the time to conquer the world?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Americans are often criticized for speaking only one language. Now investors are facing scrutiny for being too landlocked.

It’s hard to blame U.S. investors for avoiding other nations’ markets. Recent financial scares, flare-ups and economic slowdowns in other parts of the world are reminders of the risks.

Investors have been rewarded, lately, for simply investing American. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has jumped roughly 61% over the past 10 years, and that includes the ugly period from 2008 to 2009. The S&P 500 gained even as the Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets exchange-traded fund dropped 14% during the same period. Large U.S. stocks even blew away a 43% gain by emerging markets like China and India, as measured by the Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF. Don’t make the mistake of thinking recent past performance builds a case for avoiding foreign stocks. Long-term studies show foreign stocks are worth the risk.

The IFA Emerging Markets ETF has delivered an average annual gain of 12.7% since 1928. That well exceeds the 9.4% average annual gain of the IFA U.S. Large Company index.

Foreign stocks have an added bonus of zigging when the market zags, to help smooth out overall volatility.

water footprint by 50% and reduce electricity usage by 16%, he says.

“To make a bottle of beer, you use seven bottles of water,” says Silver. “Place a bioreactor filled with microbes on your site and you can see (financial) payback in less than three years.”

Also operating on the micro level is Dais Analytic of Tampa, whose nanotech membranes are able to purify wastewater “not on a parts-per-million rate, but parts-per-billion,” says CEO Tim

Tangredi.

The company’s patented polymer technology is able to transfer water from one side of a barrier to another on a molecular level. At present, the system is leveraged for reducing the carbon footprint of commercial air conditioning systems. But Dais is seeking partners in California to push its water purification system, which it claims is more costeffective than the $1 billion desalination plant operating in Carlsbad, Calif.

“Anytime you need to generate more water you also need to use

CAMBRIAN INNOVATION

Matthew Silver aims to recycle wastewater, create energy. more energy and vice versa, and we’re trying to break that cycle,” says Tangredi.

“California’s drought is driven by a changing climate and population growth.

They’ll need more water, but we’re saying they can reuse what they already have.”

One of the biggest enemies of agricultural water use is evaporation, which is where Ambient Water comes in. The Spokane, Wash., company “harvests water from the atmosphere, turning vapor into liquid through a dehumidifier on steroids,” explains CEO Keith White.

From the Model 2500 home version to the Ambient Water 20K, which is aimed at water-intensive oil and gas operations, the technology comes into play agri-

culturally with greenhouse-based vertical farming.

By enclosing and stacking crops many stories high, “you can have complete climate control and a closed-loop system where you use less water, fewer pesticides and get greater yields,” says White. Ambient’s device collects the moisture given off by such plants and returns it in liquid form to the growing cycle.

But for farmers who aren’t about to overhaul their planting process, one way to instantly reduce water use is to simply know how much they’re wasting.

Günter Grass, the Nobel laureate best known for his 1959 anti-Nazi novel The Tin Drum, died Monday at age 87 in Lubeck, Germany.

“His literary legacy will stand next to that of Goethe,” German Culture Minister Monika Gruetters said.

While Grass was lauded in Germany for his post-World War II works, he drew criticism when he shockingly revealed in his 2006 memoir Peeling the Onion that he had served in the Nazi Waffen-SS as a teenager.

He also came under fire in 2012 for a poem, What Must Be Said, that was critical of Israel’s nuclear program.

But it is the best-selling The Tin Drum for which Grass will be remembered. It’s the story of Oskar Matzerath, who, banging on his childhood drum, refuses to ever grow up. It is seen as a powerful indictment of Germany’s moral failure in the face of the Nazi regime.

NASHVILLE Reba McEntire hopes there’s still a place for her on the radio.

She thought she had made her final album when she released All the Women I Am in 2010. Last fall, though, the country music hall of famer signed as the flagship artist for Nash Icon Music, a joint venture between Big Machine Label Group (the record label home of Taylor Swift) and Cumulus Media, the largest operator of country stations in the USA. Love Somebody, the first album under that deal, is out today.

Things have changed a lot at country radio since McEntire, 60, last recorded. For one thing, “there’s more men on the radio than women,” the singer says in her Starstruck Entertainment studio, where she recorded most of Love Somebody. “It went to a stage of good-ol’-boy, pickuptruck, gotta-go-down-to-the-river, that kind of stuff. And I’m missing the romance.”

Another change, perhaps more significant to McEntire, took place in 2013, when Cumulus began branding its country stations with the Nash name. Now, 44 of Cumulus’ properties operate under the Nash brand, most notably

WNSH-FM in the New York market. Cumulus also has 28 Nash Icon stations, including ones in Atlanta, Detroit, Nashville and Albuquerque, which play more artists who found success during the ’90s and early 2000s. Those stations are akin to country versions of classic-rock or adult-contemporary pop stations.

“They are having a lot more radio stations that are playing me, and people who have new music but also had music out then,” McEntire says. “I missed having more places to hear the older music. That’s what I grew up on, what I love, what I miss.”

Though the stations and the record label share a brand, they’re operated as separate businesses, says Jim Weatherson, general manager of the Nash Icon label. “We obviously have no input or any kind of association with the radio stations and what they do; that’s completely in the hands of Cumulus,” he says. “The Nash Icon is an umbrella brand. I think you’ll see a lot of pieces develop under it over time.”

Since announcing the McEntire deal in October, Nash Icon also has signed Martina McBride and Brooks & Dunn’s Ronnie Dunn.

Love Somebody features songs from McEntire’s usual pool of songwriters, including Liz Hengber, who co-wrote her 1991

No. 1 For My Broken Heart, as well as It’s Your Call, And Still and others. McEntire also has tunes by relative newcomers such as Sam Hunt, whose Take Your Time is now the top-selling country track in the U.S.; Brandy Clark, a contender for a new-artist Grammy this year; and Aaron Scherz, who co-wrote Maddie & Tae’s recent smash, Girl in a Country Song.

“When I listen to demos, I don’t look to see who wrote it,” McEntire says, “because that might influence me, if it’s one of my favorite writers or someone who has written 10 or 20 hits. I want that song to stand on its own.”

The album also includes Enough, a duet with Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles, and Pray for Peace, a rare song written by McEntire, which features vocals from daughter-in-law Kelly Clarkson and Dunn.

The album’s first single, Going Out Like That, has sold 77,000 downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It sits at No. 38 on USA TODAY’s Country airplay chart, but McEntire envisions the single being played on many stations besides those that share a name with her record label.

“I’m hopefully going to be played on all of them. If the song is good enough and warrants that, that’s where I’ll be.”

‘The Tin Drum’ “will become one of the enduring literary works of the 20th century.”

Swedish Academy, on awarding the Nobel Prize for literature to Grass in 1999

A 1979 movie version won the Academy Award for best foreignlanguage film.

Grass was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1999. The Swedish Academy said at the time that The Tin Drum “will become one of the enduring literary works of the 20th century.”

In praising the novel, the academy said: “Grass re-created the lost world from which his creativity sprang, Danzig, his home town, as he remembered it from the years of his infancy before the catastrophe of war. Here he comes to grips with the enormous task of reviewing contemporary history by recalling the disavowed and the forgotten: the victims, losers and lies that people wanted to forget because they had once believed in them.”

COACHES, HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS AGREE that training kids extensively in a single sport increases the odds of injury and mental fatigue. Many experts recommend that young athletes play multiple sports.

Variety benefits young athletes, health pros say

By Michelle Tevis Twitter: @WellCommons

Chances are, there’s a young athlete in your neighborhood, maybe even under your roof, who wants to be the next LeBron, the next Serena — the next big name in sports.

But the American Academy of Pediatrics, and many coaches and health professionals, say that focusing on intensive, single-sport training at a young age can increase the chance of injury

“If I look at it from a coaching perspective, I don’t even know that it’s mentally healthy to be stuck in one sport for a long period of time.”

— Scott Russell, head track and field coach at Basehor-Linwood High School

and mental fatigue.

The AAP stated in a 2000 abstract (and reaffirmed in 2015): “Children involved in sports should be encouraged to participate in a variety of different ac-

tivities and develop a wide range of skills. Young athletes who specialize in just one sport may be denied the benefits of varied activity while facing additional physical, physiologic and psy-

chologic demands from intense training and competition.”

The AAP concedes that there is little quantitative evidence to support this theory, even though many pediatricians cite examples from their personal practices.

On playdates, let kids create, discover, go wild

t least once a week I’m glad I didn’t invite anyone over for a playdate. My kids play pretty well with others, but these days things can get weird in a hurry, and I find myself presiding over activities that just wouldn’t sound right paired with an invitation.

Honor organ donors with LMH events

By Elaine Swisher Lawrence Memorial Hospital

April is the 12th annual National Donate Life Month. Originally a weeklong observance, it was officially recognized as a month-long event in 2003. The celebration honors those who have received or continue to wait for lifesaving transplants, and honors the heroes that have given the gift of life as organ and tissue donors.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital is dedicated educating and raising awareness. If you’ve been

to LMH in the past couple of weeks, you’ve likely noted the green ribbons at our entrances. Green is the color of life.

“This month serves not only to honor the lives of those who have given and received; it is also an opportunity to renew our commitment to saving lives and increase awareness for the gift of organ and tissue donation,” said Rob Linderer, CEO of Midwest Transplant Network.

Because of one organ donor and 15 tissue donors at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in 2014, more than 750 lives were touched. To honor our donor heroes, Lawrence Memorial Hospital CEO Gene Meyer will be turning the fountain green near the cafeteria on April 23. Additionally, Midwest Transplant Network, with Saving Sight, will be hosting an informational booth that day to answer questions about donation outside the cafeteria from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On April 24, Midwest Transplant Network staff

will give a two-hour presentation on donation from 1 to 3 p.m. in the LMH auditorium. The public is welcome to attend both events.

You can register to be a donor today at YesTheyWantMe.com and give hope to the more than 124,000 people waiting for a lifesaving organ transplant.

— Elaine Swisher, RN, MHCL, CEN is the Emergency Department Clinical Coordinator at Lawrence Memorial Hospital and is the Donate Life chair for LMH. LMH is a major sponsor of WellCommons.

Kids CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

even if they have a faded Rush T-shirt buried somewhere in a dresser drawer, would prefer not to bring their kids over to bang on pots and pans while listening to “Tom Sawyer” cranked to 11.

I know a lot of dog lovers, but does anyone else but me really want to see my kids crawling down the hall on all fours to fetch tennis balls in their mouths?

And would even foodie parents allow their kids near the 50 megaton blast of flour and tomatoes our kids detonate in the kitchen when they “help” my wife make pasta and sauce from scratch?

Usually at some point in the midst of such a project, I wonder how I ever got myself into it. And it’s almost always because my kids asked, and I said yes. Don’t get me wrong, I dispense plenty of “no.”

In fact, I say it all day long, all the time. And when I’m not saying no, what I am saying usually requires my kids to do things that aren’t their own idea: pee, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, get in the car so I can take them to school. They’ve only been up for an hour, but my “have-tos” will continue, one after another, straight through to bedtime, as will their protests. Chop wood, carry water. Parents dictate, kids challenge.

So when I can say yes, I embrace it. Even if it involves mud, or the removal of clothes, or both

“(My) favorite parenting moments aren’t when we’re chopping wood, but when we get a little lost in the forest, when I’m comfortable enough with the overall safety of the situation, but none of us is quite sure what will happen next. ” at the same time. Because my favorite parenting moments aren’t when we’re chopping wood, but when we get a little lost in the forest, when I’m comfortable enough with the overall safety of the situation, but none of us is quite sure what will happen next.

This is giddy space for all. The kids discover what they can do and how the world works, and I wonder at how they are growing, what they are capable of, their imaginations, energy, spirit, interest in life.

My sister-in-law recently sent me a clip of Neil deGrasse Tyson, one of America’s best known scientists and host of PBS’ recent “Cosmos” reboot, encouraging parents to let their kids bang on pots and pans, play in the mud, and tear apart flowers.

Possibly, she just wanted to make me feel better about our messy house.

I don’t know whether Neil deGrasse Tyson has kids, but it was comforting to think here was at least one person who would join us for a bad playdate. He could help us construct some kind of supercollider, skilled as we are at collisions.

And while we’re at it,

why not see whether Rush drummer Neil Peart wants to come over and play? Maybe they’d even let Christopher Kimball out of “America’s Test Kitchen” for a day to build us a bigger noodle bomb.

This is sounding like a pretty good playdate, after all. Throw in my 2-yearold daughter, a roll of toilet paper and a pinch of free reign, and you’ll have a roomful of people whose focus on what they’re into makes them irresistible to watch, which is why I suspect I’m not the only parent who likes to get lost in the forest from time to time.

Who knows, at this very moment, there may even be someone else out there with 150 wet cotton balls stuck to their kitchen ceiling. To that mom or dad, I say: Come on over! You can show me how you got your kid up there to help clean it up.

“I know it’s hard,” Rolf said. “You’ve got to see the bigger picture. I know you have a window of time when you can play high school sports. But if you can commit to training well, you’re going to be a lot better off than if you tear your ACL (in your knee) and you’re out for six months, minimum.

field in Basehor. He has watched many athletes stick with the same sport all year, going from a club team to the school team, then back to the club.

“If I look at it from a coaching perspective, I don’t even know that it’s mentally healthy to be stuck in one sport for a long period of time,” Russell said. “You’re going to be mentally burned out if you are in one sport all year doing the same thing, the same movements.”

As a physical education teacher, he mixes up his classes to intersperse fitness training — flexibility, strength and cardiovascular work — with nontraditional games to keep things interesting.

Moving well Building a foundation of good movement with fun and games is part of the process.

letes, from programs on fundamental movement for kids in second grade all the way up to varsity sports performance training for competitive high school athletes.

“The big thing when we start out at our lowest level, it’s all about building a foundation,” Rolf said. “We do it in a fun way. It’s games, like jumping rope for fun, but we’re timing them, for example.”

As they get older, the movements become more intense. They move from body weight training to using resistance with weights.

LMH does offer specialized performance training groups for specific sports. “We do very little specialization until we get into high school.

The main reason is that before that, kids are playing multiple sports, and they should be playing multiple sports.”

Russell knows what it’s like to specialize. The Kansas University graduate threw the javelin for Canada in the 2008 Summer Olympics.

He knows there are statistics to prove that performance in a sport is improved by doing that

“What you do need to do is say, ‘Hey, to continue to get better at your sport, why not get better balance? Why not get better strength?’”

very sport.

“But if you look at performance improvement and injury prevention in athletes, some of the skills you’re going to get in, say, a strength and conditioning program or from playing multiple sports will develop different skills that avoid overuse injuries,” he said.

Russell participated in several sports as a kid, going from one season’s sport to the next. “It was always mentally fresh to go into something new once our season finished, rather than continuing to grind it out in one sport.”

Rolf says that even if a student is headstrong about participating in one particular sport, parents can help by making sure that athlete is doing some kind of additional activity to keep the body in balance.

“I don’t think it’s ever

the answer to tell a basketball player they need to stop shooting and just go do squats,” Rolf said.

“What you do need to do is say, ‘Hey, to continue to get better at your sport, why not get better balance? Why not get better strength?’”

Avoiding injury Rolf says the conditioning programs he oversees are about helping athletes learn to move, which helps them avoid getting hurt. “Injury prevention is our No. 1 goal. The gym should be the safest place.”

Often, Rolf reminds parents that if an old injury continues to haunt them, they should do all they can to help their own children avoid that fate. “If you’re 40 and you can’t throw a ball, something happened to break that down along

the road,” he said. “Let’s learn from that mistake so it doesn’t happen to your child as well.”

It’s a lot of education, on everything from sleep and nutrition to stretching and hydration. The LMH sports performance center does outreach at schools and practices through workshops and training with coaches and parents to help expand their knowledge so they can help their athletes improve.

“So many are volunteering their time to help, so if we can be a resource for them, providing guidelines, that’s great,” Rolf said.

Dear Annie: Young people are ready, willing and able to tackle the world’s most difficult challenges, and yet are vastly underrepresented as active citizens, decision-makers and problem solvers.

We know that young people are uniquely suited to help solve problems if given the opportunity.

1. Fifty percent of the world’s population is under age 25.

2. Brain research tells us that young people are uniquely suited to solve problems if given the opportunity. They are wired for novelty (learning new things and creating new solutions), risk (trying things adults might not) and peer authority (kids listen to other kids more than they do to adults).

3. Youth who are en-

Civil War subjects on tap tonight Today marks the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s assassination. The documentary “Ford’s Theatre: America’s Playhouse” (9 p.m., Ovation) explores the curious history of the venue at which the president was shot. Its history predates Lincoln’s murder, having been originally built as a Baptist church. It was converted into a playhouse in the 1860s and was frequented by the president.

It fell into disrepair after becoming infamous.

Converted into a lowly warehouse, it would be visited by tragedy again in 1893, when a partial collapse claimed 22 lives.

It would only reopen in 1968, and has been restored several times. In the 1990s and 2000s, ABC broadcast specials from Ford’s Theatre, often with the sitting president in attendance.

O “Blood and Glory: The Civil War in Color” (8 p.m., History) presents hundreds of rarely seen photographs of the conflict that ended 150 years ago this month.

O Basic cable’s fixation on the diminutive continues with the heart-tugger “Little Person: Boston Strong” (7 p.m., Discovery Life).

Measuring 3 feet 9 inches tall, Juli Windsor was not exactly born to be a runner. But she was one mile from finishing the Boston Marathon in 2013 when a terrorist bomb struck. ‘‘Boston” chronicles her efforts to finish the race in 2014 and the city’s efforts to rally in the face of shared trauma and tragedy.

Shot putter: Street sweet Late-blooming, worldclass shot put athlete Kurt Roberts has competed all over the world, thanks to his ability to launch a 16-pound lead ball long distances.

Roberts competed on the lawn of the state capitol building in Sacramento, California, and even in an event played out in front of Buckingham Palace.

“That was really cool as well,” Roberts said of the competition in London, in the shadow of royalty, “but the Kansas street meet is absolutely my favorite meet to come to.”

Why? “I don’t know, maybe I’m biased because I remember when I was just out of college and not on the circuit yet, watching a sped-up video of them building it right in the middle of the street,” Roberts said of Journal-World photographer Nick Krug’s time-lapse video of the transformation of Eighth Street, between New Hampshire and Mass, into a field of world-class competition. “The first year I competed in it, it was in a horse barn. Then last year, to be throwing on the street, it was just awesome.”

Roberts, No. 10 in the world rankings, joins No. 1 Reese Hoffa, No. 6 Christian Cantwell and No. 7 Ryan Whiting in Friday’s fifth-annual Downtown Lawrence Shot Put. They are the top four Americans in the rankings. Roberts is the lone among that group who has not won in Lawrence. He finished second last year to Cantwell, falling five inches short of the winning throw of 70 feet, 1 inch.

For spectators and competitors alike, the downtown event is 180 degrees from the typical shot put at meets at which the event takes place in the infield of a track and witnesses try to follow what’s going on from distant bleachers.

Roberts said he is not discouraged by the distance he’s throwing the shot in workout sessions because there is no simulating the atmosphere for Friday’s event, which starts at 6 p.m.

“To me, this is one of the coolest things track and field has done, catering to the people by having them right on top of you, and watching from the roof,” Roberts said. “The fans feel like they can reach out and touch you. The closer the people are to you, the more energy you feel, and you feed off it. I’ll train about three feet under where I’ll compete, just because with people watching and the adrenaline flowing, that same throw goes three feet farther. It’s crazy how much fun it is.”

The competitors feed off each other as well.

“Throwing is interesting,” Roberts said. “We’re out there cutting each other’s throats, but once somebody puts a mark out there,

Ellis to return for senior season

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior Perry Ellis received a loud, long standing ovation during his acceptance speech for his Danny Manning “Mr. Jayhawk” team MVP award at Monday night’s basketball awards banquet in Lawrence’s Holiday Inn convention center.

The 6-foot-8 first-team All-Big 12 forward from Wichita used the platform to announce his plans to stay at KU for his senior year and not enter the 2015 NBA Draft, obviously a popular decision with the fans.

“I’ve been talking to my family and coach about the future. Looking back on the season, there’s still a lot left on the table. I feel it’d be best for me to come back,” he said, causing more than 500 banquet-goers to jump to their feet in joy.

KU’S BRANNEN GREENE, LEFT, AND WAYNE SELDEN JR. LAUGH during coach Bill Self’s talk.

“I’ve known for a while, just thinking how much more I can improve. It’s a big thing getting my degree,” he added.

“That’s huge for me. Coming back to get that, to be set for life. I (also) know there’s another step I can take.”

Ellis, who averaged 13.8 points and 6.9 boards a game for 27-9 KU, was armed with

information from the NBA undergraduate advisory committee and other sources regarding his NBA Draft stock.

“Some thought first round; a lot were second round. I can still get better. That’s what I want to do,” Ellis said.

He said the NBA wants him to “expand my range, drib-

bling. That will be key for the summer — guard workouts.

It’s a lot of perimeter stuff, shooting and stuff. That’s what they want to see. I’m going to work as hard as I can on that and go from there.”

Asked if he was tempted to start his pro career, Ellis, who said he made his decision about a week ago, stated: “That’s the goal. You can’t rush it. You’ll know when the time comes. It hasn’t come yet. I’m still glad to be here.”

Ellis said he’s fully recovered from the knee injury that slowed him at the end of the season and is even playing pick-up games without a brace.

“Going off what the NBA people said, probably earlyto mid-second round with a chance to help himself in the workouts,” KU coach Bill Self said of Ellis’ likely draft Please see BANQUET, page 3D

KU coaches measuring spring progress

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kane

Eight practices are in the books, six remain before the annual spring game on April 25, and the first-year Kansas University football coaching staff is in the process of trying to identify just how much progress the largely inexperienced Jayhawks have made this spring.

Such progress means different things to different coaches, but there are some similarities in how each of David Beaty’s position coaches gauges how far along his group, and therefore the team, has come in the past three weeks.

“It’s just a matter of, are they repeating mistakes,” linebackers coach Kevin Kane said. “Are they repeat offend-

ers? There are gonna be mistakes, but how coachable are my guys, and can they take the mistakes off the film?”

In some ways, that’s a lot to ask of a group playing in a completely new system and under mostly new leadership. But the way these guys see it, allowing the Jayhawks to ease into things sends the wrong message.

“The aspirations and ex-

pectations are really high,” wide-receivers coach Klint Kubiak said. “I know that probably looking at them on paper, they shouldn’t be that way, because there’s a lot of young guys. But if you don’t have that mind-set, then they’ll just be average.”

The mind-set of the Jayhawks has been a big part of Please see FOOTBALL, page 3D

Royals MLB’s lone unbeaten

Minneapolis (ap) — Kansas City has picked up right where it left off. Behind some torrid hitting and an impenetrable bullpen, the Royals are the only unbeaten team left in the majors.

Danny Duffy pitched into the seventh inning and Kendrys Morales homered in a 12-3 romp over the Minnesota Twins on Monday, Please see KEEGAN, page 3D moving the defending AL

champions to 7-0 for the second-best start in Kansas City’s history behind the 2003 club that won nine in a row to begin the season.

“There’s a great mix here of young and veteran players that feed off each other,” Morales said. “The young players got a lot of energy, which helps the experienced players. It’s a real good clubhouse.”

Detroit was the only other undefeated team left until a 5-4 loss at Pittsburgh earlier in the day.

Duffy (1-0) went 61⁄3 innings, giving up three runs.

SOUTH Pelicans 100, T’wolves 88AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE Minneapolis — Anthony Davis and the Pelicans have been EAST fighting for their playoff lives for more than a month.

After dispatching lowly Minnesota on Monday night, they have one round left.

Against the defending chamFOOTBALL CONFERENCE pions, no less. AMERICAN AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE Davis had 24 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks to move EAST EAST the Pelicans one step closer to a playoff berth with a victory over the Timberwolves.

Tyreke Evans and Eric Gordon scored 22 points apiece for the Pelicans (44-37). Their magic number for clinching SOUTH a playoff spot in the rugged Western Conference has been reduced to one.

They have the same record as Oklahoma City, but hold the tiebreaker heading into the season finale Wednesday against How former San Antonio.

“Honestly, we thought we’d Jayhawks fared be in the playoffs. We had injuries and close games, but we SOUTH SOUTH wouldn’t want it no other way,” Davis said. “We’ve fought through adversity since I’ve been here. It’s just another test for us, and I think we’ll be able to handle it.”

Zach LaVine had 24 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Timberwolves (16-65), who were down to six healthy players at the end of the game.

After the New York Knicks (1764) beat Atlanta on Monday night, the Wolves now have the worst record in the league.

The Thunder defeated Portland on Monday night to ensure they would enter the season finale at Minnesota on Wednesday with their playoff hopes alive. But a win for the Pelicans over the Spurs or a loss by the Thunder would put Davis in the playoffs for the first time.

HOOPS NOTEBOOK

Greene to undergo hip surgery

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University sophomore guard Brannen Greene will have hip surgery Thursday and will miss up to five months of basketball workouts, coach Bill Self told the Journal-World after Monday’s KU basketball banquet at Lawrence’s Holiday Inn. “It (hip) hurts, but that’s not the problem. The problem is it’s continuing to get worse,” Self said. “He’s Greene had it (bone spurs) for years, and they’ve decided to get it corrected.

He’ll be pain-free.”

Self said Greene, who has a torn labrum, would not be able to play in this summer’s World University Games. He will not be red-shirted, Self said, because he should be able to play during the entire 2015-16 season.

ers on its World Games roster. Svi Mykhailiuk (Ukraine) cannot play for the KU/U.S. team. If Self needs to fill out the roster, he cannot add any former KU players now in the NBA because their participation is against the NBA collective-bargaining agreement.

“It looks like all our explayers in a developmentleague-type situation are too old,” Self said. “A Tyshawn (Taylor), Elijah (Johnson), Travis (Releford), they are all too old.

They all turn 25 before Jan. 1. You can’t turn 25 before Jan. 1. I could possibly go try to get a guy from another school, somebody fighting to try to find his way just to fill a spot.

We’re going to wait and see how many guys we have, who we sign. If we get another international player, he can’t go. Numbers may be such we may need to get a guy or two.”

“I think we are one ‘big’ away, obviously. We need to sign a big that can anchor it for us. We are actively involved with a couple guys. We hope we can get one of ’em,” Self said. “If we can get a difference-maker guard, a pro, not necessarily meaning a one-and-done guy, but a guy who can come in when you watch him, whether he be a Ben (McLemore) type or somebody like that where you know he’s gonna be an NBA-type guy. If we can get one of those, I think our talent level will be as good as it’s been in a long time.”

Off to workouts: Self said freshmen Kelly Oubre Jr. and Cliff Alexander would be leaving Lawrence today to begin their pre-NBA Draft schedule of workouts. Self has a policy that players cannot leave if their academic status could hurt the school’s APR rating. Self has approved of players leaving in the past as long as their academics are in

Ellis was hurting: Self told the banquet-goers Ellis’ sprained knee late in the season was significant. “We kept it from the media how bad it is,” Self said, indicating playing on it couldn’t make the injury any worse. “(But) he didn’t have to play.

He worked his butt off.

He wasn’t the real Perry.

He didn’t have the same bounce.”

has a chance to be a top-10 scorer (at KU), and I’d assume high in the rebound ranks. He will be at least a two-time first team allleague player. He is going to graduate. Then who knows if he can make an All American team, maybe even get his jersey hung

up there (in KU rafters), if that’s the case. There’s still a lot to play for.

“What we were told by other people, people other than me, is, ‘You can’t hurt yourself coming back. You can only help yourself.’ Hopefully he’ll have a Frank Kamin-

sky-type senior year and shoot up the charts,” Self added.

“It’s not a surprise to me at all, nor probably anybody that he came back. But there was probably more a chance he could go than what a lot of people thought.”

Football

“We keep going back to the optimal weight of these guys,” Yenser said of the O-line. “And they’ve done a really good job of getting where they need to be, and you can see, inch by inch, (they’re) a little bit better with their conditioning, whether it’s through individual (drills) or fighting all the way through team period or having an eightplay drive instead of a six-play drive. Whatever it is, it’s just taking little baby steps.”

There’s a reason that’s important, and Yenser is not afraid to share it.

“I want us to take over this football team and be the leaders,” he said.

“Any good football team that I’ve ever been a part of has had leadership and presence from the offensive line.”

Johnson to SC Former KU safety Isaiah Johnson, who last month announced he was leaving Kansas, has decided to play his final season of eligibility at South Carolina.

Johnson, who earned Big 12 defensive newcomer of the year honors following the 2013 season, made the news official Sunday, saying the opportunity to play for South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and in the SEC was too great to pass up.

Johnson is scheduled to graduate from KU in May and will be eligible to play immediately via the senior-transfer rule.

During his time in Lawrence, Johnson started all 24 games he appeared in and totaled 148 tackles, six interceptions and seven pass break-ups.

Summer exhibitions: Self revealed that KU’s World University Games team would play a pair of exhibition contests against the Canadian National Team this summer in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. It would be the week before the Jayhawks head to South Korea for the Games, which run July 3-14.

“Just because Allen Fieldhouse is not airconditioned,” Self said of playing in KC. “It’d be hard to play a summertime game in Allen if you are able to put some people in there. It’d probably be pretty miserable. l We plan on doing that Recruiting needs: Self the week leading up to the tour. Nothing is final- is still after several players to fill three open ized.”

the equation this spring.

“For me, the biggest thing is just the mental part of it and them taking pride in understanding their assignment,” Zach Yenser of his offensive linemen. “I just want guys to get reps, to improve on a daily basis and to get better with the fundamentals that we’re teaching.”

Of course, there’s more to spring ball than just tracking progress and hoping guys buy in.

“Cliff was dealt a bad hand no fault of Cliff,” Self said, apparently referring to having to sit out the end of regular season and postseason because of an NCAA issue. “It is life. As tough as it was, he handled it like a man.” l

Thorne update: Former Charlotte center Michael Thorne Jr. will visit Kentucky on April 24-25, Jayhawkslant.com reports.

He visited Pitt last weekend and will also visit KU and Illinois before choosing a transfer destination for his senior season. l

said. “Obviously you hear that every day, but we’re just kind of keeping it all in front of us.”

The Twins were better off with a put-it-all-behind-them approach.

“We didn’t play Twins baseball. I don’t know what we played. Bad News Bears baseball, I guess,” right fielder Torii Hunter said. “Just got to do better.”

The Twins lost their fourth straight home opener, though they still packed the place with an over-capacity crowd of 40,123 on a 61-degree day. Hunter tipped his helmet to acknowledge the standing ovation during his first at-bat, but the cheers were scant the rest of the afternoon.

The Twins used four pitchers in a six-run eighth by the Royals, who did their damage on only two singles to accompany three walks, two hit batters, an error and a passed ball. Shortstop Danny Santana let a bases-loaded grounder bounce out of his glove with no outs.

Hunter was charged with a throwing error in the sixth, too, letting a run score. New manager Paul Molitor has so far had his hands full.

“We’re trying to find a way to put an offense together that’s a little more consistent. So far it really hasn’t clicked too well,” Molitor said.

The Royals have sure been rolling. Alcides Escobar, Lorenzo Cain on his 29th birthday and Eric Hosmer each drove in two runs for Kansas City, which had five players tally two hits apiece.

Pinch-hit slam lifts Yankees The Associated Press

American League Yankees 6, Orioles 5 Baltimore — Stephen Drew delivered a pinchhit grand slam in the seventh inning, and New York beat Baltimore for its first winning streak of the season.

Down 4-2, the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs before Drew connected on a 3-1 pitch from Tommy Hunter (0-1). It was his second homer in two games and New York’s first pinch-hit slam since Jorge Posada did it in 2001 against the Orioles.

Mets 2, Phillies 0 New York — NL Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets won their home opener, shutting down Philadelphia.

DeGrom (1-1) gave up seven hits in 61⁄3 innings before a sellout crowd of 43,947 at Citi Field.

Daniel Murphy doubled with in the fourth, advanced on a flyout and scored when Juan Lagares hit a comebacker that a twisting Aaron Harang (1-1) knocked down with his glove. But the 36-yearold righty stumbled awkwardly for a moment on the mound and was slow to retrieve the ball. By the time he threw to first, Lagares beat the play.

Interleague Red Sox 9, Nationals 4 Boston — Mookie Betts hit a three-run homer, jumped to take away a home run from Bryce Harper and stole two bases on the same pitch, leading the Red Sox over Washington in their home opener.

The Red Sox rolled to an 8-0 lead after three innings against Jordan Zimmermann (1-1). He was as wild as Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, whose ceremonial first pitch to David Ortiz bounced in the dirt in the left-hander’s batters’ box.

Ortiz homered in the sixth.
