Hemp oil, marijuana penalty bill moves on

Hundreds gather to call for justice

Lawmakers also reach compromise on green energy requirements

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — The Kansas House passed a bill Thursday that would decrease penalties for marijuana possession, allow the limited production and sale of hemp oil and study uses for industrial hemp.

The House also passed a compromise on green energy policy, and lawmakers considered new tax proposals as they seek ways to fill a budget gap of about $422 million LEGISLATURE before the close of the session.

The chamber’s 81-36 vote Thursday sends the marijuana bill to the Senate for consideration. First- and secondtime marijuana offenders without serious prior convictions would avoid jail time under the measure. That would decrease the population in the state’s overcrowded prisons and save more than $1.7 million over the next two fiscal years, according to state estimates.

North Lawrence flooding project gets scaled down

By Chad Lawhorn Twitter: @clawhorn_ljw

A project to fix North Lawrence storm water flooding is getting smaller.

Lawrence city commissioners agreed to reduce the scope of a proposed pump station project at Sixth and Maple streets in an effort to build the project on budget.

Thus far, the project has struggled to come in on budget. In March, the city received a low bid of $7.5 million to complete the project. That was more than $2 million above the engineer’s estimate of $5.1 million.

Commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting approved approximately $75,000 worth of work to redesign the pump station to use smaller pumps. The project as now proposed will be able to move about 100 cubic feet of water per

Norma J. Baird, 88, died May 6, 2015 at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Lawrence. She was born November 12, 1926, in Plainville, KS, to Rev. Carmie and Arabelle (Boyll) Roll.

She graduated Belleville High School in 1945. Norma made her home in Hutchinson until her retirement in 2004 when she moved to Lawrence, KS. Norma was an active member of First United Methodist Church while in Hutchinson.

She married John Gordon Baird on April 2, 1951, in Hutchinson. He died February 19, 2008.

Survivors include daughter, Linda Frost and husband Victor, Lawrence; her sons, Ted Baird and wife Kate, Lawrence, Jim Baird and wife Joan, Overland Park, KS; grandchildren, Sarah Frost, Kayla Wellbery, Emily Baird, Mary Baird,

For wireless access, the campus has a number of hotspots, though those don’t cover individual dorm rooms, Arce said.

Money for the project is coming from a U.S. Department of Education Title 3 grant. The five-year grant brings in roughly $1.3 million a year for IT improvements and about the same for academics, which can include student retention initiatives, Arce said.

Title 3 grant money also is funding $850,000 in improvements to residence hall furnishings — including replacing bathtubs in Blalock Hall that date to 1977.

Glass, who is now retired but remains relatively active within the community, said he was honored by the recognition.

“Nothing that we’ve done was done with any expectations in mind,” he said. “I just grew up thinking that’s what you did when you’re an adult.”

Golden, a Lawrence resident of more than 43 years, agreed with Glass, calling her induction an honor. Chuckling, she added that at this point in her career it may be time for her to “slow down.”

Addressing a crowd of several dozen, Epp said he was “deeply gratified” by the recognition and reminisced a bit over his life’s work and his affiliations with Lawrence’s business world.

“I’ve had four great careers in my life and they’ve all been connected to business in some way, which is important to me,” he said.

For furniture that is still usable, Haskell is considering giving it to local organizations, students with families living off-campus or tribes, Pahcoddy said.

“Starting at a very, very young age we teach students those freemarket economic principles,” he said. “We talk about the jobs people do and the impact those jobs have on families.”

Not only does the business world enjoy celebrating success, Burnside said, but each of those inducted into the Hall of Fame serves as a positive example for the future business leaders of Lawrence.

“This is the sixth year, and I don’t think there’s any shortage of worthy candidates in Lawrence,” Burnside said. “There are some great, great stories, and we have a lengthy list of folks that have been nominated.

Hemp CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Here’s a look at the significant actions taken by the Legislature on Thursday:

Marijuana Two amendments to the bill on marijuana penalties added language that would legalize the sale and production of hemp oil for seizure treatments and initiate a state study into industrial hemp.

Opponents are concerned the measure would open the door to wider marijuana legalization. Republican Rep. Dick Jones from Topeka said that he does not believe there is concrete evidence that hemp oil, which is derived from marijuana plants, can effectively treat patients.

“If you vote for this amendment, you’re just voting for a foot in the door to make marijuana legal country-wide, statewide,” he said.

The bill would allow only state-licensed producers to make hemp oil and would regulate the

second compared with an original design of 195 cubic feet per second. The city’s storm water engineer told commissioners he’s still confident the pumps will be big enough to handle flooding in a typical 10-year storm event. Thus far, the leader of the North Lawrence Improvement Association said he’s fine with the reduction in size as well.

But where the neighborhood association and City Hall may clash is on whether the project also should be further reduced to eliminate a section of piping that would serve Lyons Park, which frequently floods during even moderate rain storms. The city is bidding that portion of the project as an alternate, meaning if prices don’t come in to their liking, they can scrap that part of the project.

Ted Boyle, president of

the North Lawrence Improvement Association, already has begun lobbying city commissioners to find additional money to fund the Lyons Park portion of the project. The city previously has estimated that portion of the project to cost about $1 million.

“We’re willing to have some give and take here,” Boyle said. “If we are going to live with the smaller pumps, then give us the rest of the project. We’ve waited 20 years for this project.

We started advocating for this pump station right after the 1993 flood.”

Commissioners on Tuesday did not make any commitments about how much of the project they would support, but rather decided to wait and see bid totals later this summer.

would help divert nonviolent, mentally ill individuals away from the county jail and also treat those who voluntarily arrive there.

Farmer said affordable housing is an issue he focused on well before Justice Matters approached him with the trust fund idea. Earlier this year, Farmer said he took a trip to Austin, Texas, to tour affordable housing the city offers to at-risk populations, including the formerly homeless and foster program graduates. Farmer said he was “blown away” by what he saw and had city staff begin researching affordable housing options.

“I’m willing to do whatever it takes for people in our community to step up and to help folks have a better, more prosperous life,” Farmer said. “I’m committed to creating an affordable housing trust fund.”

Farmer said after the assembly Thursday that he did not know how the goal would be achieved.

Farmer said that first, “community conversations” needed to begin on the topic, followed by “planning” and “strategy.”

“We have to deal with the ‘what’ first — the ‘how’ comes second,” Farmer said. “There are varying opinions on the ‘how.’ We have many priorities as a city on public safety, but social services in this community are just as high on the list.”

Some controversy around the nature of the Nehemiah Action Assembly flared up earlier this week after members of the Douglas County Commission expressed uneasiness about making certain commitments at an informal hearing.

The county is already researching whether it needs to build a crisis stabilization center like the one Justice Matters described — as well as expand its county jail to combat rising inmate populations.

Commissioner Jim Flory said it was his understanding that officials would be asked at the event to commit to building a crisis center and separate that project from the jail expansion, which are being treated as one enterprise. All members of the commission said they could not make those commitments, at least at this time.

Other events titled the “Nehemiah Action Assembly” hosted by groups related to Justice Matters across the country, including one in Topeka, have proven confrontational and tense.

However, no official was asked to make those specific commitments Thursday. The evening did not feature any conflict.

“It went awesome. It went amazing,” Gaughan said after the event. “It’s a reflection of Lawrence and Douglas County, the ambition people have.”

products to ensure they do not contain more than 3 percent of the compound THC, which gives marijuana its intoxicating effects. Democratic Rep. John Wilson from Lawrence crafted the medical marijuana language and said that only residents with severe seizure disorders would be allowed to purchase the hemp oil, estimating their number at about 24,000.

after which the ventures would pay commercial property taxes.

Renewable energy The House voted 10711 to pass a compromise between the wind energy industry and critics of the state’s green energy mandate. The deal would remove a requirement that renewable resources account for 20 percent of utilities’ capacity to generate electricity by 2020.

The mandate would become a nonbinding goal, but legislators would drop a proposal to impose a 4.33 percent tax on the electricity generated from renewable resources in return. The agreement would also decrease a lifetime exemption from property tax for new renewable projects to a 10-year exemption,

Taxes Kansas legislators sifted through proposals to increase taxes but aren’t yet raising enough revenue to close a budget shortfall.

The House and Senate tax committees considered various measures Thursday. Legislative researchers have said lawmakers must close a $422 million budget shortfall for the fiscal year beginning July 1. The shortfall arose after lawmakers cut personal income taxes in 2012 and 2013 to boost the economy.

The Senate committee previously endorsed proposals to raise about $50 million. The panel Thursday approved Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to waive penalties for people with unpaid taxes to pick up an additional $30 million. But senators didn’t agree on any other proposals.

The House committee had a hearing on a bill to backtrack on a tax break for business owners enacted in 2012.

Lawrence gets quarter inch of rain Thursday After almost a week of consistent but scattered showers, Lawrence is still nearly 4 inches short of the average expected amount of rain, said Bill Gargan of the National Weather Service in Topeka.

As of 10 p.m. Thursday, .27 inches of rain fell over Lawrence, putting the city's total amount of rainfall since Jan. 1 at 6 inches, Gargan said. That's short of the annual average expected amount of 9.89 inches.

Scattered thunderstorms are in the forecast for today, Saturday and Sunday morning, which could help chip away at that mark, Gargan said.

LEGISLATURE

Fantasy sports bill becoming reality

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — Fantasy sports would be declared a game of skill in Kansas so they wouldn’t be illegal under a measure that won final legislative approval Thursday.

The bill would bring clarity to an ongoing dispute over the legal status of fantasy sports leagues, because the Kansas Constitu- Schmidt tion allows only the state to administer games that fit a broad definition of a lottery, and the state’s gambling regulator announced in August it viewed them as illegal lotteries. There have been no known prosecutions.

But Attorney General Derek Schmidt released an opinion in April saying legislators could legalize fantasy sports leagues by declaring that the outcomes depend upon the knowledge and skill of the players. State law considers lottery results to be determined by chance.

Originally charged with burglary and four counts of aggravated robbery, Lawrence residents Cody Kukuk, 22, and Yusef Kindell, 21, accepted plea deals on Thursday to lesser charges related to their involvement in a Nov. 8, 2014, burglary near the Kansas University campus.

Kukuk, a Red Sox minor league player, pleaded no contest Thursday to aggravated robbery, robbery and aggravated burglary, while Kindell pleaded no contest to two counts of robbery.

In exchange for Pence’s testimony, prosecutor Eve Kemple said at the preliminary hearing that she offered to drop Pence’s charges from burglary and four counts of aggravated robbery to just two charges of robbery. He is expected to enter a plea on May 22.

Johnson pleaded guilty in March to two counts of aggravated robbery. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 28.

The House approved the bill on a 98-21 vote Thursday. The Senate approved it Monday, 37-1, so it goes next to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback. His office declined to comment on whether he’ll sign it.

In fantasy sports leagues, players compete against one another by making up digital teams out of a pool of real athletes and tracking how well they play in their games. Each player is awarded a score based on the performance of their assortment of athletes, and leagues and fantasy sports websites often award cash prizes to the best teams.

Republican Rep. Brett Hildabrand from Shawnee, who initially introduced the legalization language, said he did so because, “so many Kansans participate in this and we want to make sure that they’re operating on the right side of the law.”

LMH recognizes nurses’ passion, professionalism

By Bonnie Jackson

DAISY Awards

Lawrence Memorial Hospital

To coincide with Florence Nightingale’s birthday on May 12, National Nurses Week is May 6-12.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital joined the nation in celebrating the dedication of nurses by sharing stories to illustrate a “day in the life” of a nurse.

Here are some thoughts from a few LMH nurses in different roles. To read their full stories and others, visit lmh.org/nurses.

Megan Bost, RN, recovery room nurse, Surgical Services “The post anesthesia care unit, or PACU, is a unique place, and I have had the pleasure of waking people up from surgery for the past seven years.

One of my Bost favorite things about working in recovery is the variety of patients we take care of each day. Our patients range in age from babies to 100-year-olds.

They could be extremely healthy, having their first surgery or coming to us from the ICU in hopes of saving their lives. I have to prioritize my patients’ needs and get the job done quickly, efficiently, but most importantly, safely. The days are always varied, and each patient provides unique opportunities.

What brings me back to work every day is the people, the camaraderie, the shared goal of excellent patient care. We truly care about our patients and strive to make their visit to LMH the best it can be.”

By Joanna Hlavacek

Do you know a passionate, professional nurse who deserves recognition? The DAISY Award is an international program that rewards and celebrates the extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care given by nurses. Patients, families, visitors, nurses, physicians and LMH employees are encouraged to nominate a deserving LMH nurse at any time. Find a nomination form online at www.lmh. org/daisy, email DAISYcommittee@lmh.org or mail nominations to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Attn: DAISY Coordinator, 325 Maine St., Lawrence, Kansas 66044.

Clifton Sims, LPN, Center for Rehabilitation and Wellness and Wound Healing Center S i m s has been at LMH four years. He started as a certified nursing assistant, worked in the lab as a Sims phlebotomist, and then graduated from Washburn University as an LPN. “I played football in college and really loved the rush that would come from playing the game. I ended up taking an anatomy and physiology course and really liked it. I originally wanted to go into business, but I looked at my options and nursing sounded like a great fit for me. And believe me, nursing can still provide that same rush!

My parents, my coaches and mentors all told me that I was special and here for a reason. It took me a while to believe them but I know I can help and make a difference. I want to learn as much as possible, and that’s why I really enjoy working on different units. Each one is unique and offers something different.

Dog flu spreads in Midwest; preparation for outbreak begins

By Caitlin Doornbos Twitter: @CaitlinDoornbos

As canine influenza continues to spread throughout the Midwest, some local animal experts say the fast-spreading virus could come to Kansas and are prepared in case it does.

Commonly referred to as dog flu, the illness made national headlines last month after an outbreak in Chicago affected more than 1,000 dogs and spread to Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. A month later, the illness continues to spread and was identified two weeks ago in Sioux City, Iowa, about 300 miles from Lawrence, according to the Sioux City Journal.

While no cases have been reported in Kansas or its bordering states, the virus does have a history in the state. Canine

influenza’s first recognized outbreak was in 2004 and affected greyhound racing parks in six states including Kansas, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Lawrence veterinarian Darren Rausch said this time dogs are contracting a different flu strain that’s notable for its rapid spread. Last week, the Chicago Tribune reported several animal shelters and boarding facilities in the region had temporarily closed as city infection rates had climbed to about 1,700 cases.

Symptoms, including cough, runny nose and fever, typically develop two to four days after exposure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most dogs recover, but some die of the disease.

Rausch said because

“

If it does come here, we figured we would be the most vulnerable. The minute you get a bunch of dogs together, disease spreads.”

— Kate Meghji, Lawrence Humane Society executive director this year’s dog flu is a different strain, researchers are still evaluating whether the current dog flu vaccine is effective.

Rausch said some veterinarians encourage its use anyway because the vaccine “may provide some protection.”

“What some doctors are saying is to go ahead and vaccinate with the current strain of influenza, even though it’s not the same strain,” Rausch said. “Kind of like the CDC said last year for the human virus.”

The vaccine requires two shots, with the second given about three

weeks after the first, Rausch said. His practice, Gentle Care Animal Hospital, 9601 Kasold Drive, carries the vaccine, Rausch said, but he does not encourage all dog owners to request it.

“It’s not our policy to recommend (the vaccine) to every dog,” Rausch said. “It’s on a risk caseby-base basis.”

Last month, the Lawrence Human Society began vaccinating all dogs in its care because illnesses are more easily spread in shelter environments, Humane Society Executive Director Kate Meghji said.

“If it does come here, we figured we would be the most vulnerable,” Meghji said. “The minute you get a bunch of dogs together, disease spreads.”

Weeks after the initial outbreak occurred, Meghji said she is “less worried” the virus will spread to Kansas, but she is confident the Humane Society is prepared in case it does.

“Being proactive is the best way to do it,” Meghji said. “If it comes to the area and we find out the vaccine is effective, we will work together with local veterinarians to get the public vaccinated.”

For now, Meghji said the shelter is not recommending that the public vaccinate their own dogs.

Dogs at risk include those that frequent dog parks, boarding facilities or participate in dog

competitions because the illness is spread from dog to dog, Rausch said.

Rausch said those traveling to affected areas should especially consider vaccinating their pets, but Meghji said dog owners simply should not travel with their dogs to affected areas.

“Please don’t take your dog to Chicago when you know there’s an outbreak,” Meghji said.

If you think your dog may have been infected, the Kansas State Diagnostic Laboratory is offering canine influenza testing at a reduced cost.

For more information, contact the laboratory at 866-512-5650.

Wheat tour: 2015 crop Campuswide tobacco ban forecast better than last year’s at KU pushed back a year

By Roxana Hegeman

“

This last rain is worth millions of — The hard dollars.”

Associated Press

Wichita red winter wheat crop in Kansas is forecast to be larger than last year’s harvest, according to the annual wheat quality tour, but still falls far short of what’s normal because of drought, disease and winterkill.

This year’s wheat production is forecast at 288.5 million bushels, participants in the threeday Wheat Quality Council tour said Thursday.

The estimate is based on observations by more than 90 participants who trudged through 659 wheat fields across the state. The average yield statewide was forecast at 35.9 bushels an acre.

Their convoy found drought stress, winterkill and stripe rust disease in this year’s crop, said Justin Gilpin, executive director of the trade group Kansas Wheat.

“What wasn’t expected, of course, was all the rain that we got this week during the tour. So in each of

without it those districts had to levy higher property tax rates in order to generate revenues comparable to wealthier districts.

Lawmakers approved that funding last year.

But after learning that the changes they made were costing more than they had anticipated, they returned this year and changed the equalization formula to reduce the overall cost and change how it was distributed among the state’s 286 districts.

They also passed a bill repealing the old per-pupil funding formula and replaced it for the next two years with a system of block grants that will provide essentially flat funding to schools for the next two years.

Lane said those changes cost the Kansas City

— Jim Shroyer, Kansas State University Extension wheat specialist those drought-stressed fields that we were in, we were looking at droughtstressed plants that were surrounded in mud,” he said.

That made it “real hard” to figure the plants’ potential given the moisture it recently received, Gilpin said. Some wheat in western Kansas is too far gone for the recent rains to do any good, but in the central part of the state the wheat is going to benefit from this moisture.

A year ago, Kansas farmers hauled in 246.4 million bushels, the smallest harvest in 30 years and far short of the 328 million bushels the state has averaged in the past decade.

Kukuk, who received an $800,000 sign-on bonus with the Red Sox in 2011, following his graduation from Free State High School, was placed on the Red Sox’s restrict-

district $8.5 million this year. And she said the new block grant funding system will reduce state aid to the district by $2.5 million a year for each of the next two years.

To absorb the $8.5 million cut this year, Lane said the district decided to delay about $1.2 million in building maintenance projects and eliminated the purchase of a new student information system used to collect student data required by the Kansas State Department of Education.

She said many buildings in the district are already over-crowded, and some elementary schools are forced to hold class in hallways, boiler rooms and other areas that are not optimal learning environments.

Lane also said the district’s board of education will face difficult decisions for next year that could involve limiting access to early-childhood education programs, after-school programs and

She said the block grant formula enacted this year does not take enrollment growth into account and does not provide any additional funding for those high-needs students who are the most expensive to teach.

tional pastime” and there is now national momentum to define them as legal. The games are legal in all but five states — Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana and Washington — and Kudon said Iowa and Louisiana are considering bills similar to the one in Kansas.

Republican Rep. Mark Kahrs from Wichita, though, said he voted against it because despite the attorney general’s opinion, he believes some types of fantasy sports are “clearly gambling.”

Kudon said that fantasy sports are frequently compared to poker and horse racing, but denied that the comparison was apt when it came to regulating them. Both games

are the target of state regulations, he said, in large part to ensure fairness and avoid corrupting the racing competitions.

To attempt to rig games in order to reap fantasy sports winnings, Kudon said, “You’d have to corrupt five or eight players on eight different teams.”

“That’s where I think prosecutors can get in and deal with the one-offs,” he said.

Kansas’ fantasy sports bill would also set new regulations for charity bingo and raffle fundraisers, which Republican Rep. Marc Rhoades from Newton said he opposed, saying it would de-regulate charitable raffles taking in less than $25,000.

Chalmers said on crossexamination that total funding for the Kansas City district has gone up.

But Lane said total enrollment has gone up as well.

She also said most of the increased funding was for higher pension contributions, which the district cannot use for operational costs.

Chalmers then called Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis to the stand to describe how the Department of Education calculates how much money each district is authorized to spend each year.

After nearly two hours of testimony, Chalmers made the point that under the new funding plan schools are receiving more state aid and they have more flexibility to transfer money between various funds.

But Presiding Judge Franklin Theis asked at the end of his testimony for Dennis to provide spreadsheets that would show which districts re-

ceived additional equalization aid under the new law and which ones received less. Theis also asked for spreadsheets showing how much districts are receiving for operational costs if the additional pension contributions are subtracted.

The hearing is scheduled to resume this morning with the plaintiffs cross-examining Dennis.

Plaintiffs are also expected to present another witness, Hutchinson school district superintendent Shelly Kiblinger.

The state has also listed Kansas Chamber President Mike O’Neal, a former Kansas House Speaker, as a potential witness. O’Neal served last year on a special task force appointed by the Legislature to recommend ways schools could be more efficient with their budgets.

Open records flaw Kansas legislators should take quick action on the attorney general’s proposed corrections to the state’s open records law.

K

ansans who support government transparency were disappointed last week by an attorney general’s opinion stating that the private email of government officials isn’t a public record even if the messages being sent are discussing government business.

The good news, however, is that Attorney General Derek Schmidt also could see there was something wrong with that situation. In response, he proposed legislation on Wednesday to help close the private email loophole in the Kansas Open Records Act. The issue arose in connection with a message sent through Budget Director Shawn Sullivan’s personal email account outlining the governor’s budget proposal. The email, which included budget details that hadn’t been shared with the public or the Kansas Legislature, was sent to some of the governor’s close advisers, including two who now are registered lobbyists. When news organizations sought the release of the message, they were told that private emails don’t fall under the open records act and Sullivan had no obligation to release it.

The case drew attention to a huge flaw in the state law. Under Schmidt’s interpretation, any amount of serious state business could be discussed and perhaps decided through email communication on non-government accounts.

That is the law, Schmidt said, but the proposal he revealed on Wednesday indicated that he agreed that wasn’t the way the law should be.

Schmidt’s proposal would establish limits to protect private content in government employees’ personal email while also making clear that public employees can’t use private email accounts to skirt the requirements of the open records law. Any email used to conduct or transact public business would be considered “pursuant to their official duties,” Schmidt said, and therefore would be considered a public record.

Correcting this law is an important step toward protecting open government in Kansas and warrants the immediate attention of state legislators. Congratulations to Schmidt for taking quick action on this issue. Lawmakers should follow his lead and fix the open records loophole before the end of the current session.

Netanyahu’s support shaky at home Tel Aviv — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been a dominating political figure in the U.S. this year, seemingly invincible as he hurled thunderbolts at President Obama and other adversaries. But here in Israel, not so much.

After winning a narrow election victory in March, Netanyahu formed a fragile government late Wednesday with a bare one-vote margin in parliament. Israeli analysts, left and right, are questioning whether the government can last long. Netanyahu said Thursday he had been leaving the foreign minister position vacant for Labor Party leader Isaac Herzog, in hopes of broadening his base, but Herzog quickly rejected the offer.

“Bibi has no agenda, other than challenging President Obama on Iran,” argues Aluf Benn, the editor of the liberal newspaper Haaretz, using the prime minister’s nickname. One sign of Netanyahu’s problems was the last-minute defection by his previous foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman.

Netanyahu has been such a strong voice in America that it’s easy to overlook his political problems back home. But these difficulties were highlighted by a broad range of analysts during a conference here this week organized by the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies and Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center, where I’m a fellow.

Israeli analysts note that Netanyahu’s congressional speech blasting the Iran deal, which was so prominent and

“

The U.S.-Israeli relationship is likely to be rocky for the remainder of Obama’s presidency, assuming that Netanyahu continues his drive to scuttle the Iran agreement.” polarizing in America, didn’t matter much in the Israeli election. He benefited from a late surge among conservative voters who were scared by his election-day warning of a massive Arab turnout. But these gains seem to have come partly at the expense of other conservative parties.

Yehuda Ben-Meir, a conservative former politician, argued in an analysis published by INSS that Netanyahu’s core bloc of rightwing and religious parties has actually been shrinking, falling from 65 parliament seats in 2009 to 61 in 2013 and 57 this year.

Benn contends that the real winners in March were two minority groups that stand outside the Zionist mainstream, the ultraOrthodox and the Israeli Arabs. He worries because

these groups don’t generally support the Israeli military.

To bolster his frail government, Netanyahu tried to woo his chief rival Herzog into a broad “national unity government.” The two are said to have discussed such a pact over the last few weeks, but Netanyahu wasn’t willing to offer concessions on the Palestinian issue that Herzog wanted. Netanyahu instead opted to lean further right by allying with Naftali Bennett’s party, which adamantly opposes a Palestinian state. That chilled this week’s negotiations with Herzog, but the idea of a broad coalition may return.

The U.S.-Israeli relationship is likely to be rocky for the remainder of Obama’s presidency, assuming that Netanyahu continues his drive to scuttle the Iran agreement. This tension contrasts sharply with the U.S.-Arab fence-mending that will take place next week at Camp David when Obama discusses with Gulf leaders a common strategy to curb Iranian meddling.

It’s a peculiar reversal of roles, in which the Gulf Arabs (who also criticize the Iran nuclear deal) are becoming the responsible and conciliatory opposition, while Netanyahu, who leads a country that is traditionally America’s closest Mideast ally, remains at loggerheads with Obama.

Many Israeli analysts worry that the friction with Obama is eroding bipartisan support in the U.S. for Israel.

But it’s not a zero-sum game: An obvious potential beneficiary is the Republican Party.

With Netanyahu’s help, the Republicans may be attempting a realignment that seeks to convince pro-Israel voters that their natural home is the GOP, rather than a Democratic Party that keeps pressuring Israel for concessions.

The GOP pulled off a similar realignment a generation ago in convincing white Southerners to abandon the Democrats.

A sign that conservative Americans and Israelis are seeking such a realignment would be pledges by GOP presidential candidates to work with Netanyahu to overturn the Iran deal.

Obama, too, could drive a political wedge if he pushes for a new U.N. Security Council resolution that codifies the “parameters” of the peace deal Secretary of State John Kerry tried unsuccessfully to negotiate last year.

Netanyahu’s camp hopes for a new opening with Gulf Arab states that share mistrust of Iran. A top Israeli official argues that the Jewish state is the only reliable partner for Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries in a region dominated by Iranbacked Shiite radicals, a Turkish-led Muslim Brotherhood bloc, and jihadists of al-Qaida and the Islamic State.

An Israeli-Arab alliance against Iran is intriguing.

But like much else about Netanyahu’s fledgling government, it’s more an aspiration than a practical agenda. Netanyahu, so potent in America, has a shaky base at home.

Would the staff be committed to building relationships with their students and parents, as well as putting in the extra time and commitment required to be an excellent teacher?

Would the staff be an advocate for your child? Would parents play a role in the for-profit system?

There is a war on public education in this state. I’m fighting to protect my profession. I encourage neighborhood public school communities to join in this fight. The future of our children depends on our support.

Joyce Fee, Lawrence

Poor planning To the editor: Last month, my neighborhood had its water line replaced. This meant dig-

ging a trench through every yard, laying the new line, filling in the trench and then replanting grass seed covered by some straw. I have asked City Hall for the cost of the labor, seed and straw for my block and where the money came from, only to be told to go ask another person or department.

I just want to know whose money got wasted and how much it was. You see, our city apparently granted permits for Black Hills Energy to replace the gas line the very next week after the water line was finished so the seed, the straw etc, was dug up before it even sprouted. What a waste!

City leaders already have a black eye from the costs of the new sports complex and are always complaining about our budget shortfalls. I just think that if they would have waited till the gas line project was finished we would not have wasted the labor dollars and the cost of the seed and straw.

I’m sure that Black Hills is going to plant seed too, so we may have even saved the money to use somewhere else like sidewalk repair. This is failure to “plan,” planning people. This kind of mismanagement only results in higher tax rates and does not promote growth within our city.

Sam Hunsaker, Lawrence

as doctors, we worry when we hear the usage of electronic cigarettes by youths is skyrocketing. E-cigarette companies are counting on their unregulated marketing ploys to recruit youths into becoming the next generation of tobacco users.

We know that e-cigarettes are marketed to youths as well as adults and that nicotine can harm normal brain development in growing kids. Unfortunately, young people seem to believe that e-cigarettes are a good alternative to tobacco, and more and more kids are using them each year.

In fact, the 2014 National Youth Tobacco Survey showed that, for the first time ever, middle school and high school students used e-cigarettes more than any other tobacco products.

Skeptics are already questioning why we should regulate e-cigarettes.

The truth is, the tobacco control policies we already have in place have worked, and overall rates of tobacco use are falling in the United States.

We need to use these already proven strategies to discourage youths from using not only e-cigarettes, but also all tobacco products. We should strengthen clean air laws, improve access to programs to help tobacco users quit, and provide needed funding for tobacco prevention programs.

Dr. Thomas Marcellino, Douglas County health officer, To the editor: Dr. Douglas Dechairo, Lawrence Nicotine has been proven to be a Douglas-County Health Board dangerous and addictive drug, and, chairman

Gov. Sam Brownback has ordered flags across the state to be flown at half-staff during daylight hours today in honor of the Kansas Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day. The 33rd Annual Kansas Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony will be at noon today in the second floor rotunda of the Statehouse. The Fraternal Order of Police Auxiliary Topeka No. 3 hosted the 20th annual candlelight vigil Thursday evening on the first floor rotunda of the Statehouse.

“The memorial is a constant reminder that Kansas officers often place themselves in danger to protect the rest of us,” Brownback said. “(Today’s) ceremony is an opportunity for us to come together and reaffirm our commitment to supporting them and paying tribute to those who have paid the ultimate price serving the people of Kansas.”

The name of Topeka Police Cpl. Jason Harwood will be added to the memorial and honored this year. Harwood was shot and killed on Sept. 7, 2014, while conducting a car stop in Topeka.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in New York said the program went beyond what Congress authorized in 2001 to combat terrorism under the USA Patriot Act, which the government has relied on to collect massive amounts of data.

“The statutes to which the government points have never been interpreted to authorize anything approaching the breadth of the sweeping surveillance at issue

here,” Judge Gerard Lynch wrote for the three-judge panel.

“The sheer volume of information sought is staggering,” the court said, extending to “every record that exists, and indeed to records that do not yet exist.”

The court did not order an immediate halt to the data collection, because the law that the government claimed authorized it is set to expire next month, and Congress is debating an extension or replacement.

“In light of the asserted national security interests at stake, we deem it prudent to pause to allow an opportunity for debate in Congress that may (or may not) profoundly alter the legal landscape,” the court wrote.

The challenge was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union nearly two years ago after NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed the program’s existence. Since then, a federal judge in Washington has said the pro-

FBI chief: U.S. can’t keep up with ISIL Recruiting outpaces ability to track in USA Kevin Johnson USA TODAY

WASHINGTON In a dramatic assessment of the domestic threat posed by the Islamic State, FBI Director James Comey said Thursday there are “hundreds, maybe thousands” of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures from the terIN AMERICA rorist group or directives to attack the U.S. Comey said the Islamic State, also known as ISIL, is leveraging social media in unprecedented ways through Twitter and other platforms, directing messages to the smartphones of “disturbed people” who could be pushed to launch assaults on U.S. targets.

SHAWN THEW, EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

FBI Director James Comey said ISIL is leveraging social media in unprecedented ways through Twitter and other platforms.

“It’s like the devil sitting on their shoulders, saying ‘kill, kill, kill,’ ” Comey said in a meeting with reporters.

The FBI director’s comments come in the midst of a federal investigation into a foiled attack on a Garland, Texas, conference featuring cartoon depictions of the

prophet Mohammed. It involved two ISIL sympathizers, one of whom, Elton Simpson, was long known to federal authorities.

Simpson and associate Nadir Soofi, 34, were fatally shot by a police officer Sunday after the pair launched the bungled attack.

Comey said the Texas case is

emblematic of a larger concern facing counterterrorism efforts related to ISIL’s pursuit of U.S.based converts. ISIL’s recruiting strategy — personal outreach through social media — represents an unmatched level of sophistication shown by terror groups in the aftermath of 9/11.

Bruce Hoffman, director of Georgetown University’s Center for Peace and Security Studies, said ISIL’s multifaceted outreach and leveraging of social media is threatening to “outpace the government’s capabilities across the intelligence community.”

Comey said that ISIL recruiters operating from safe havens in Syria are making initial contacts and “steering” them into encrypted venues. “The haystack is the entire country,” he said. “We are looking for the needles, but increasingly the needles are unavailable to us. ... There are Elton Simpsons out there that I have not found and I cannot see.”

4,716 deaths later, Liberia ready to declare it’s Ebola free West Africa nation was the hardest hit Samwar Fallah and Gregg Zoroya USA TODAY

MONROVIA , LIBERIA This oncestricken nation plans to declare it is officially free of Ebola on Saturday, barring the unexpected discovery of a new case.

The announcement would come more than a year after the worst Ebola epidemic in history struck this West African nation, killing 4,716 and infecting twice that number.

“I’m sure that the sound of 4 million Liberians exhaling will be the sigh heard around the world,” said Sheldon Yett, who led the United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF) here during the crisis.

The last confirmed Ebola patient died March 27 and was buried the next day, according to the World Health Organization. With the passage of 42 days on Saturday, twice the incubation period for the disease, Liberian officials are ready to say the deadly virus is eradicated within their borders.

Tolbert Nyeswah, who led Liberia’s much-criticized response to the disease, said Thursday that finally ridding the country of

U.S. Air Force personnel put up tents to house a 25bed U.S.-built hospital for sick Liberian health workers on Oct. 9 in Monrovia, Liberia.

Ebola was vindication for leadership that had taken such a beating during the darkest hours of the epidemic. “Today, the same people are using us as a success

story,” Nyeswah said.

A national ceremony is planned for Monday. Liberia was the hardest-hit West African nation afflicted by Ebola, which first

surfaced in December 2013.

Ebola lingers in nearby Guinea and Sierra Leone, and officials still worry about cross-border transmission. Those two countries reported 18 confirmed cases in the week ending May 3, the lowest weekly total in 12 months, according to the WHO. Francis Kateh, a deputy incident manager for the Liberian response team told USA TODAY that it is imperative the nation remain vigilant. “When your neighbor’s house is on fire, you have to be careful,” Kateh said. “So we are not totally celebrating because Sierra Leone and Guinea are still fighting the virus.”

NSA DATA COLLECTION

Court: NSA surveillance tactic is illegal v CONTINUED FROM 1B

cretly spied on millions of innocent Americans based on a shockingly broad interpretation of its authority,” said ACLU attorney Alex Abdo, who argued the case before the three-judge panel in September. “The court rightly rejected the government’s theory that it may stockpile information on all of us in case that information proves useful in the future.”

The controversial program, which gathers information about phone calls made and received but does not eavesdrop on their content, has been the subject of several court challenges.

The 2nd Circuit panel, which heard arguments in September, expressed skepticism about the reach of the program.

“If the government is correct, it could use (the law) to collect and store in bulk any other existing metadata available anywhere in the private sector, including metadata associated with financial records, medical records, and electronic communications (including email and social media information) relating to all Americans,” the court said.

“Such expansive development of government repositories of formerly private records would be an unprecedented contraction of the privacy expectations of all Americans.”

The court said the government cannot rely on its expansive definition of what’s relevant when it’s not conducting a specific investigation. The government “has not attempted to identify to what particular ‘authorized investigation’ the bulk metadata of virtually all Americans’ phone calls are relevant,” it said.

That same interpretation of relevance was used to justify the Drug Enforcement Administration’s bulk data collection beginning more than two decades ago.

A former Justice Department lawyer told USA TODAY last month that officials knew they were pushing the limits of what

Patriot Act changes urged post-ruling Congress debates anti-terrorism law Erin Kelly @ErinVKelly USA TODAY

WASHINGTON A federal court’s ruling that the National Security Agency’s mass collection of phone data is illegal comes as Congress is about to vote on whether to renew the Patriot Act. The NSA has been using Section 215 of the anti-terrorism law to justify the bulk collection of phone data from millions of Americans who are not suspected of any terrorist activity.

“The dragnet collection of Americans’ phone records is unnecessary and ineffective, and now a federal appellate court has found that the program is illegal,” said a joint statement from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah.

“Congress should not reauthorize a bulk collection program that the court has found to violate the law.”

The House Judiciary Committee last week passed the USA Freedom Act, which would end the NSA program. The House is expected to vote on the bill next week.

A bipartisan group of senators has introduced an identical bill; its fate is less certain. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has introduced a competing measure that would renew the Patriot Act through 2020. Several key sections of the law are set to expire June 1, including 215.

sued and urged his colleagues to support his proposed renewal.

Leahy and Lee, who are sponsoring the USA Freedom Act, urged McConnell to bring their bill to a vote next week after the House acts.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said he was disappointed by the ruling. “We were reminded again in Texas ... that the dark forces of radical Islamic extremism remain determined to carry out attacks against our nation,” he said, referring to the attack outside an exhibit of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad.

“We must ... make sure that our intelligence agencies have the necessary tools in their toolbox to get the job done.”

Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., called on the White House to end the NSA’s mass surveillance program. President Obama has the power to order an end to the program but has said Congress needs to pass legislation to make any changes permanent.

“The executive branch’s claims about its legality and effectiveness are crumbling,” Wyden said.

The ruling “should also give the president the confidence to finally end this overly broad program,” Heinrich said.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes defended the NSA program, calling it “constitutional” and “authorized by Congress.”

Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said the court ruling “should help propel Congress to end the program as it’s currently structured. ... It also shows that a straight re-authorization (of the Patriot Act) is ... on shaky legal ground as well.”

could be considered relevant.

That DEA surveillance program offered a legal blueprint for the far broader phone surveillance program the NSA launched after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The case ultimately could land at the Supreme Court, particularly if another federal appeals court reaches a different conclusion.

The government’s appeal of District Judge Richard Leon’s initial decision was argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in November. Another challenge was argued before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in December.

The phone surveillance program, which was among those Snowden disclosed in 2013, already is on life support. President Obama has asked Congress for changes that would leave the data in the hands of private phone companies, not the government.

“The president has been clear that he believes we should end the Section 215 bulk telephony metadata program as it currently exists by creating an alternative mechanism to preserve the program’s essential capabilities without the government holding the bulk data,” said Ned Price, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. “We continue to work closely with members of Congress from both parties to do just that.”

The House Judiciary Committee voted last week to end the program. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill next week. And a bipartisan group of senators has introduced an identical bill, although its fate is less certain.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has introduced a competing bill that would simply renew the USA Patriot Act through 2020. Several key sections are set to expire next month, including Section 215, which the NSA has used to justify its bulk collection of phone records.

On immigration, Graham differs from GOP field WASHINGTON South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who says he’s “98.6% sure” he’ll run for the Republican presidential nomination, vows to chart a course on immigration at odds with every other contender in a large and growing GOP field.

Graham’s formal announcement, expected within the next few weeks, would add the voice of a leading national-security hawk and an architect of the 2012 Senate immigration bill that for a time raised hopes of a bipartisan agreement on a comprehensive overhaul.

“If I were president of the United States, I would veto any bill that did not have a pathway to citizenship,” Graham, 59, told Capi-

tal Download, USA TODAY’s weekly newsmaker series. “You would have a long, hard path to citizenship ... but I want to create that path because I don’t like the idea of millions of people living in America for the rest of their lives being the hired help. That’s not who we are.”

The third-term senator from a solidly red state insists that his position doesn’t doom his long-shot bid for the Republican nomination — and he says the GOP risks electoral disaster in 2016 with its current hard line on immigration.

“We’ll lose,” he says flatly. “I mean, we’ve got a big hole we’ve dug with Hispanics. We’ve gone from 44% of the Hispanic vote (in the 2004 presidential election) to 27% (in 2012). You’ll never convince me ... it’s not because of the immigration debate.”

elected she would expand President Obama’s executive order allowing young people brought to the U.S. illegally as children to avoid deportation. She defended providing a path to citizenship.

“Make no mistake: Not a single Republican candidate, announced or potential, is clearly and consistently supporting a path to citizenship — not one,” she said.

Graham’s likely announcement makes that no longer true.

Most of the other Republican contenders say border security must be tightened before the legal status of an estimated 11 million undocumented residents can be discussed. None of the other hopefuls endorse simultaneously providing a path to citizenship.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who helped negotiate the bipartisan Senate bill, now says securing the borders must come first. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker once said he supported a path to citizenship but now opposes it. Former Flori-

IN BRIEF AL-QAEDA SAYS U.S. DRONE KILLED TOP FIGURE IN YEMEN

A U.S. drone killed a top alQaeda commander in Yemen who had said the group was behind the bloody Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, the terrorist organization has announced.

Nasr al-Ansi died in the CIA airstrike, which also killed his oldest son and several other militants, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said in a video posted Wednesday to the Internet, according to the news outlets Thursday.

The announcement came from al-Qaeda operative Khaled Batarfi, who did not say when or where in Yemen al-Ansi was killed, the Associated Press said. CBS News, citing unnamed sources, reported the attack was April 21.

Al-Ansi was reportedly a confidant of Osama bin Laden, the alQaeda leader killed by U.S. special forces four years ago. In a video statement in January, he claimed that al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula had carried out the attack that killed 12 people at the offices of Charlie Hebdo.

The French satirical newspaper publishes cartoons depicting

da governor Jeb Bush endorses a path to legal status short of citizenship.

“One of the candidates here helped write the bill; he now says we’ve got to secure the border first,” Graham says, referring to Rubio. “That’s not practical. No Democratic Congress is going to give the Republican Party everything we want on border security until you tell them what happens to the 11 million.”

Graham blasted Clinton, who by one count has answered just seven questions from reporters since she formally announced her presidential campaign.

“I don’t know how people in your business put up with this,” he says. “Kim Jong Un ... there’s more access to him than I think there is to her.”

U.S. BEGINS TRAINING SYRIAN FIGHTERS First 90-member force will be paid, equipped with arms

“This program is critical and a complex part of our anti-ISIL efforts.”

Tom Vanden Brook USA TODAY

The Pentagon has begun training the first group of Syrians to fight Islamic State militants, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter announced Thursday.

“This program is critical and a complex part of our anti-ISIL efforts,” Carter said.

There are about 90 members of the first training class, Carter said. The training, in Jordan, will take months. The force will be equipped with small arms.

Members of the force will be paid, but it was not clear how much, Carter said. It was also not determined how the money will be disbursed. They will be provided air cover and possibly medical evacuation, but plans have not been finalized, he said.

Asked if the United States would be responsible for war crimes committed by the force,

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter

WASHINGTON

ZEIN AL-RIFAI, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Rebel fighters drive a tank in the village of Ratyan, Syria.

About 220,000 people in Syria have been killed in the conflict.

Carter said they are selected and vetted for their adherence to the law and will be trained to conduct themselves appropriately.

Identifying and vetting moderate members of fighters in Syria has proved difficult for the military. The Pentagon announced last year its intent to train and equip Syrians who could protect their communities from Islamic

State militants, and eventually help achieve a political solution to the country’s civil war.

Fighting among forces loyal to President Bashar Assad, opponents of the regime and militants has devastated the country. About 220,000 people have been killed and millions more forced from their homes during the war, which has seen Assad unleash

chemical weapons attacks on his own people.

In January, the Pentagon announced it would deploy about 1,000 troops to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to train the Syrian opposition. But recruiting opponents who can be trusted hasn’t been easy. The Pentagon has lost dozens of trainers in Afghanistan to so-called insider attacks. It has taken pains to vet recruits more carefully.

The task has grown more difficult because after years of brutal warfare, few moderates remain, said David Phillips, director of Columbia University’s peacebuilding and rights program.

“It’s a good idea,” Phillips said.

“I’m not sure that the timing is right. It could have been done much easier earlier with a larger

applicant pool. Given the level of poison that exists from years of conflict, it’s gong to be hard to find responsible partners.”

Meanwhile, a U.S.-led coalition, without opposition from Assad’s forces, has mounted airstrikes against ISIL targets inside Syria.

Bombing and missile strikes have killed thousands of militants, according to military estimates.

Members of Congress have pushed the Obama administration to escalate U.S. military involvement in the war. On Wednesday, Sen. Dick Durbin, DIll., told Carter and Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that he and several colleagues favored a U.S.protected safe zone inside Syria for refugees.

Carter and Dempsey were non-commital on the concept.

The zone, and presumably U.S. forces protecting it, would be targeted by Assad’s forces and ISIL militants, Carter said. Dempsey added that carving out such a space, likely by patrolling a no-fly zone, would require the Pentagon to shift troops, planes and weapons being used elsewhere.

Exit poll shows strong support for Cameron Kim Hjelmgaard, Jane Onyanga-Omara and William M. Welch USA TODAY

LONDON An exit poll showed an unexpectedly strong vote for returning Prime Minister David Cameron and his Conservative Party to power in Britain’s election Thursday, though the party appeared to fall short of an outright majority.

The poll by Britain’s broadcasters showed the Conservatives would win 316 seats in Parliament — 10 short of a majority.

A renewed coalition with the central Liberal Democrats could make up the difference to allow Cameron to form a new government, though Liberal Democrats were losing broadly, according to the exit poll.

The Labour Party lagged with a projected 239 seats. The Scottish National Party (SNP) was to make big gains, 58 seats, at Labour’s expense, based on the exit poll.

Going into the election, polls showed a near toss-up between the Conservatives and Labour, led by Ed Miliband.

Even those projected to gain based on the exit poll were a bit skeptical. “I’d treat the exit poll with HUGE caution. I’m hoping for a good night but I think 58 seats is unlikely!” SNP leader Nicola Sturegon tweeted.

The exit poll suggested Labour will come up short when the votes are counted because it lost most of its Parliament seats representing Scotland to a resurgent SNP, which favors independence from Britain.

The centrist Liberal Democrats appeared to perform poorly, garnering only 10 seats, according to the exit poll, ap-

parently punished for backing the Conservatives.

Paddy Ashdown, chairman of the Liberal Democrats campaign, told the BBC he believed the exit poll was wrong, and that another survey by market research firm YouGov had predicted the party would get 31 seats. “Opinion polls are all over the place,” he said.

Labour Party deputy leader Harriet Harman told the broadcaster: “If that poll is right about this election, the Tories (Conservatives) have more or less lost the majority for the coalition. If it’s right, the question is whether they would be able to form a majority in the new Parliament.”

A majority of 326 seats is needed to govern without a coalition partner.

At a polling station in Brixton, south London on Thursday, Yen Ly, 40, said that education and the National Health Service were the most important issues for her.

“I think it could be a hung Parliament like last time,” said

Ly, whose son is heading to university soon. University fees have tripled from around $4,600 to $14,000 since the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government came into power in 2010. “The future is what gets most mothers worried,” Ly said.

Labour supporter Tutu Korama, 26, who visited the polling station in Brixton with her young child, said the space in her government-subsidized property was not sufficient, and that more jobs were needed.

“We need to see improvement,” she said. “We are suffering.”

The pre-election expectations of a tight race meant that for the first time in generations minor parties with more niche interests could have a major impact on the composition of that government.

The SNP, for example, wants to see Scotland leave the union with England. The U.K. Independence Party thinks Britain should abandon its membership of the European Union.

For many voters, the choice was difficult.

“When I went to vote this morning, I wasn’t sure who I was going to vote for. It’s hard to know who’s best,” said Ralph Prime, 51, of London, who ended up going with the Conservatives. “I spent a lot of time in the military and they’re the only people I feel gave us appreciation,” he said.

“Labour and Conservative — they just seem so alike nowadays,” Prime added.

Outside a Westminster polling station, Diana Karter, 60, wouldn’t say who she voted for, only that “it’s a party I’ve not voted for since my early years.”

The CDC estimates that there were nearly 30,000 acute hepatitis C infections nationwide in 2013 and that 3.2 million Americans are infected.

Many people with hepatitis don’t know they’re infected, Ward said. The CDC recommends that Baby Boomers get tested for hepatitis C, because many undiagnosed cases occur in the generation that came of age in the 1960s and 1970s.

Now, with the epidemic of prescription drug abuse, “a new generation of people in this country are getting infected,” many of them much younger, Ward said.

Rates of hepatitis C are soaring, largely driven by an epidemic of prescription painkiller abuse, a new report shows.

The incidence of acute hepatitis C infections among young people in rural areas of four Appalachian states more than tripled from 2006 to 2012, according to a report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

New hepatitis cases among people age 30 and younger rose from 1.25 per 100,000 people in 2006 to 4 per 100,000 in 2012 in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, states known to have high rates of hepatitis C. About 73% of those hepatitis C patients said they injected drugs, which can spread the virus when people share needles.

It wasn’t supposed to be brain surgery.

But for 81-year-old Bimla Nayyar of Belleville, that is what doctors at Oakwood Hospital mistakenly performed on her in January 2012 when she was admitted to receive a simple jaw realignment.

Nayyar never recovered from the mix-up and unnecessary surgery and died 60 days later.

A jury this week decided that the Dearborn hospital was negligent and awarded $21 million to Nayyar’s family.

Oakwood Hospital is not admitting any wrongdoing and says it will appeal Wednesday’s verdict in Wayne County Circuit Court.

In a released statement, Oakwood said, “We’re very concerned about how the details of this case have been portrayed.”

Paula Rivera-Kerr, spokeswoman for Oakwood Healthcare, said she could not give further comment.

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger, representing Nayyar’s family, in an interview Thursday said he could not recall a worse mix-up and initial coverup by a hospital.

“If they had done this with a hammer or a knife they would be in jail for murder,” Fieger school bell after sophomore Kyle Ockerlund, 16, determined that students exposed to the sound experienced a 10% decrease in concentration, the Daily Herald reported.

“If they had done this with a hammer or a knife they would be in jail for murder.”

Attorney Geoffrey Fieger

said. “In 37 years of practice, this is the most shocking abuse I have ever seen.”

Nayyar had been admitted to Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn in January 2012 for a procedure to treat her bilateral jaw displacement. She was already in precarious health and recovering from a heart attack she had suffered in October.

But after mixing up her CT scan results with those of another patient, hospital staff thought that Nayyar had bleed-

ing in her brain and needed surgical decompression and a craniotomy, according to Fieger’s lawsuit.

She was wheeled into an operating room, where five holes were drilled into her head and the right side of her skull was sawed out and replaced.

Afterward, a doctor told Nayyar’s family that they found no skull fracture or brain bleeding and that there must have been a mix-up in the radiology records, the lawsuit says.

In a sworn affidavit, Sara Atwell, Oakwood Hospital’spatient safety officer, described how hospital staff determined that the CT scan, which they thought had been done on Nayyar, was actually done on a different patient. Atwell said this mix-up wasn’t the result of a failure on Oakwood’s part to develop proper procedures.

New chain coming with lower prices geared at Millennials Hadley Malcolm USA TODAY

Whole Foods is trying to change its reputation as a grocery with fresh food at high prices by opening a separate chain of lower-priced stores aimed at Millennials.

The new stores will cater to a younger generation of shoppers who are still interested in organic and natural foods but want a different shopping experience, executives said.

The company made the announcement Wednesday as part of its second-quarter earnings release. Whole Foods shares fell after the earnings missed analyst

expectations and continued to trend down Thursday, slumping nearly 10% to $43.07.

Whole Foods, known for its organic, natural food selection, clean stores and large displays of bright, fresh produce, has been losing traction recently as organic and fresh foods have become more popular at mainstream grocery chains.

The company also early on earned the nickname “Whole Paycheck” for how expensive it can be to shop there. The new format will help broaden Whole Foods’ appeal and diversify its brand, pulling younger shoppers in particular who are attracted to Whole Foods’ social and ethical ethos but turned off by the price of the high-end food, says Neil Saunders, CEO of retail consultancy Conlumino. “(Whole Foods) still has a problem on price,” he says, and

“(Millennials) just don’t have the disposable income to make that their destination of choice for grocery shopping.”

Executives said the new chain will expand the company’s reach and isn’t expected to pull sales from Whole Foods stores. CoCEO Walter Robb said the stores will have “modern, streamlined design, innovative technology and a curated selection.” And while they’ll be aimed at Millennials, Robb said they’ll appeal “to anyone looking for high-quality fresh food at great prices.”

Whole Foods is already negotiating leases for the new format, and the stores will start opening

next year. But executives declined to give details about where and how many, saying more information would come by Labor Day. “This marketplace continues to grow and explode, and I think we think by creating a second growth vehicle for our company, we can broaden the accessibility to fresh, healthy foods,” Robb said on a call with news media.

Whole Foods has more than 400 stores in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. The company reported sales at stores open at least a year increased 3.6%, below analyst expectations for an increase of 5.3%. Total sales increased 10% to $3.65 billion.

Alibaba switches out CEO

Despite Q4 boost, No. 2 man will step down Sunday

“Daniel is a proven international business leader and innovator with a strong track record of delivering results.”

Kirk Spitzer and Brett Molina USA TODAY

A big boost in fourthquarter revenue wasn’t enough to save the job of the No. 2 man at China’s biggest e-commerce company.

Shares of Alibaba surged 7.5% after the company introduced a new CEO. Jonathan Lu, the chief executive officer of Alibaba Group Holding Limited, will step down and will be replaced by Chief Operating Officer Daniel Zhang, the company announced Thursday.

The change will be effective Sunday. Lu remains on the company’s board as vice chairman.

“I am grateful to Jonathan Lu for his excellent leadership and management over the past several years, and I look forward to his continued contribution as a key leader in helping Alibaba Group train and develop the next generation of leaders,” Executive Chairman Jack Ma said in a statement Thursday.

Zhang has been with Alibaba for eight years and has held a variety of jobs in top management.

He has been Alibaba’s chief operating officer since September 2013 and oversees operations of all Alibaba Group businesses in China and overseas.

Zhang was a key architect of the Nov. 11 “Shopping Festival,” a promotion that Alibaba claims is the world’s largest online shopping event.

“Daniel is a proven international business leader and innovator with a strong track record of delivering results,” Ma said.

Lu was CEO during the company’s initial public offering in September, when it raised a record $25 billion. The shares rose as

high as $119 per share in November after pricing at $68. But shares have fallen nearly 28% since then amid concerns about slowing economic growth and criticism from China’s government about the company’s business practices.

Shares closed at $86 in New York on Thursday, up from the previous close of $80. In financial results announced Thursday, the company said revenue had increased 45%, to $2.8 billion, for the three-month period ending March 31, 2015, compared to the same period a year earlier.

The move to promote Zhang will allow “talented, young executives to take on more responsibility,” executive vice chairman Joe Tsai said on a conference call.

Zhang echoed that. “Jonathan (Lu) did a great job in the past two years,” he said in an interview with CNBC. Spitzer reported from Tokyo and Molina from McLean, Va.

Energy, retail cuts drive 3-year high in layoffs

Labor market still not seen as weak Paul Davidson USA TODAY

Announced layoffs hit a threeyear high in April as cheap oil pummeled energy company payrolls and failed to provide an expected lift to retailers and consumer products companies.

But economists say the disappointing news doesn’t portend a weak labor market this year.

While oil-related reductions are likely to persist at a slower pace, consumers should soon step up spending and bolster merchants.

Not all planned job cuts have occurred yet either, and the ones that have aren’t expected to blacken today’s employment report for April from the Labor Department. Economists surveyed

by Action Economics forecast 225,000 job gains — up from

126,000 in March — and a 5.4% unemployment rate, down from 5.5%.

U.S. employers announced 61,582 job cuts last month, up 68% from March and the highest total since May 2012, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas.

Oil and natural gas companies accounted for about a third of the cuts as a 45% drop in crude prices since last June prompted firms to shut down drilling rigs and shed workers. Equipment manufacturers were also hammered and made up about 10% of the industry layoffs, says oil producer Continental Resources, which tracks the cuts.

So far this year, employers have announced 201,796 job cuts — the largest four-month total since 2010 — with 34% tied to low oil prices, Challenger said.

Surprisingly, the second-largest job trimmer is the retail industry, which has sliced about 26,100 jobs through April, up

from 25,200 in the same period last year. Retail spending was weak in the first quarter despite low gasoline prices.

“We thought consumer spending would have gotten a bigger lift,” says economist Nathan Kelley of Moody’s Analytics.

Diane Swonk, chief economist of Mesirow Financial, says many consumers used their pump savings to pay off holiday shopping bills early this year while others stayed away from the mall because of harsh winter weather.

Among other hard-hit sectors, consumer products companies chopped 6,000 jobs in April, virtually all by Procter & Gamble after a weak earnings report. The chemical industry cut 4,300, and aerospace and defense companies, 1,400.

The picture should brighten.

Swonk says she foresees a pickup in retail sales in coming months as consumers finally spend their gas savings, aiding stores and consumer product makers.

AMERICA’S MARKETS What to watch Adam Shell USA TODAY

Jobs are like oxygen to an economy. Lot of jobs gives the economy a little extra bounce to its step, while a job market in the doldrums adds up to angst and suffocates growth.

The question now facing the Federal Reserve, which wants to see a better labor market before it starts raising interest rates, is whether the weak numbers in March were transitory or signaled some kind of trouble ahead for a U.S. economy.

Last month’s “Jobs Friday” was anything but jolly for Wall Street.

The report was a big miss. The government reported that only 126,000 jobs were created in March, nearly 50% less than the 245,000 forecast by Wall Street.

The government and econo-

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

mists and even the Fed issued all sorts of excuses for the lousy number, which broke a 12-month string of job gains north of 200,000. They blamed the weakness on bad weather. They blamed it on a sharp rally in the U.S. dollar that made it tough for U.S. exporters to sell their more expensive goods abroad. They blamed it on the massive hit in the oil patch caused by a more than 50% drop in U.S. crude prices since last June’s peak.

Well, now it will be harder to make excuses. The weather is warm. Oil has rallied sharply. And the dollar has given back a large chunk of its gains vs. the euro.

The April number has to come in strong. If it doesn’t, it will spark fresh questions about what’s wrong with the U.S. economy and how the Fed will react to an economy that is no longer creating 200,000-plus jobs a month.

Rewards are tempting if you can stand risk Q: Are IPOs a bad idea for investors?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: The initial public offering market is a treacherous place for investors. That’s not a reason to avoid IPOs completely.

Just understand the risks and have a strategy.

Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba is the latest reminder of the dangers of hot IPOs. While being touted as a giant deal in a fast-growing country last September, Alibaba has left investors who bought the shares on the first day down roughly 8%. Had investors invested in the Standard & Poor’s 500 instead, they’d be up 3.4%. And that doesn’t include the roughly 2% annual dividend yield paid by the market.

Investors can’t resist the IPO market due to the huge potential gains. Biotech Radius Health is the best performing IPO over the past year. Shares of the stock are up a staggering 357% from their first-day closing price last June.

The problem is finding the next Radius Health isn’t easy — and it’s often the deals that fly under the notice of most investors that do best.

One of the best ways to participate in a positive IPO market is simply to own them all. There have been more than 200 IPOs over the past year, and on average, they’ve gained 9.9%. An option is investing in the Renaissance US IPO exchange-traded fund, which trades by the symbol IPO.

Flooring retailer pulls China product for review Gary Strauss USA TODAY

Lumber Liquidators, stung by lower sales and a slumping stock price over allegations that its laminate flooring made in China contains toxic levels of formaldehyde, is suspending sales of the product.

Shares rose as much as 7% in early trading only to close down 0.6% at $27.07 after the company said Thursday it will suspend sales until it completes a sourcing compliance program. The move is

SCOTT OLSON, GETTY IMAGES

Lumber Liquidators has shipped thousands of air testing kits.

a shift for North America’s largest specialty flooring retailer, which continued to sell Chinese laminate flooring after a March 60

Minutes report said the products contained excessive formaldehyde, a carcinogen.

Lumber Liquidators’ March same-store sales fell nearly 18% following the 60 Minutes report, which has prompted more than 100 class-action lawsuits and a Consumer Product Safety Commission investigation. Last week, the company said the Justice Department is seeking criminal charges under the Lacey Act, which bans illegally sourced wood products.

Lumber Liquidators’ shares have slumped more than 60%

since it alerted investors of the 60 Minutes report.

Since then, the company has shipped thousands of air testing kits to customers. It says nearly all showed formaldehyde air concentrations that fell within World Health Organization guidelines.

“Despite the initial positive air quality testing results we have received, we believe it is the right decision to suspend the sale of these products,” CEO Robert Lynch said. “We will work diligently to meet the needs of our customers and to ensure their satisfaction.”

Freeh Group International Solutions, a consultant headed by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, has been hired as an independent compliance adviser.

Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond Law School professor, said the company’s decision to suspend Chinese laminates should have been done sooner.

“The other measures were stopgaps,” he said.

Tobias applauded the move of hiring Freeh’s firm but says litigation and settlement costs could be expensive. “They aren’t out of the woods yet,” he said.

Comedy co-stars find happiness in ‘Pursuit’ Witherspoon, Vergara team up in real life, too Andrea Mandell @AndreaMandell USA TODAY

BEVERLY HILLS They play foes in Hot Pursuit, but it takes only a scan of Instagram to see Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara have a love affair going on.

There they are mugging at the Met Gala, hilariously covering Taylor Swift songs via the app Dubsmash and feeding each other espresso and doughnuts.

On set, “we had a great time,” says Vergara, 42. “I didn’t feel like it was anything forced. Reese is easy to be funny with.”

But in Hot Pursuit (opening today), they’re running in opposite directions. Witherspoon plays the bumbling, no-nonsense Officer Rose Cooper, trying her best to haul in Daniella Riva, the glamorous widow of a whistleblower set to bring down a massive drug operation.

“It feels very fresh, this movie,” says Witherspoon, 39, who pulled inspiration from buddy comedy pairings such as Shelley Long and Bette Midler in 1987’s Outrageous Fortune. “It’s a new idea.”

The movie was shot last summer while Vergara was on hiatus from Modern Family. (Ask Vergara to dream-cast a Witherspoon cameo on her hit show, and she pictures her as Manny’s teacher or “an uptight friend of Claire’s.”)

“We were developing this

movie even while we were shooting Wild,” says Witherspoon, whose husband, Jim Toth, is Vergara’s agent. “I was like, ‘Honey, can I have a meeting with Sofia Vergara? I should make a movie with her. She’s really funny.’ ” Yes, Witherspoon briefly ended up in the ER after a tumultuous fight scene. “I pushed her a little too hard,” Vergara acknowledges with a smile.

Although Witherspoon insists she was back at work the next day, “I went to the doctor and they were like, ‘Is somebody pushing you around?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, Sofia Vergara.’ ” Meanwhile, both are building empires as their side pursuits.

Vergara has lines at Kmart and Kay Jewelers. Witherspoon has a production company, Pacific Standard, and just launched a Southern-inspired e-commerce site, Draper James. “Southern women are so fashionable,” Witherspoon says. “But no one sort of caters to them.”

“I need to control everything from design to materials,” says Vergara, who became engaged to actor Joe Manganiello in December.

Both hope moms and daughters celebrate Mother’s Day with a dose of Hot Pursuit. Witherspoon’s ultimate Mother’s Day? “I love it when my kids just make me a card,” says the mom of Ava, 15, Deacon, 11 (who waits for her around the corner today) and Tennessee, 2. “I tell them they have to be nice to me all day. No bickering!”

hometownlawrence.com Realtors use Instagram to market homes Advertising supplement

MAY 8, 2015

LIZ WESLANDER

Hometown Lawrence

Everyone knows that good photos help sell homes, and in the ever-expanding world of social media, getting home photos onto potential buyers’ screens is crucial. For a few local realtors, the popular photo sharing site, Instagram, is proving to be a fun and useful option for distributing the unique images they capture during their workdays.

Tom Harper, a realtor at Stephens Real Estate, recently started using Instagram under the name @LawrenceModern.

Although Harper has been a long-time Twitter user, he said he is finding that Instagram is better suited to image sharing.

“I was taking my pictures of beautiful homes and fixtures and putting them on Twitter, but Twitter is fast. If you don’t see something when it goes up, then it’s gone,” said Harper “When you

look at Instagram, the photos are usually pretty interesting. It’s like a gallery.”

Stephanie Harris, a realtor at Stephens Real Estate, is another local realtor who is active on Instagram under @ StephatStephens.

“I love the visual medium of Instagram because I’m a very visual person,” said Harris. “People need to see things to experience them and with real estate, those photos are to intrigue them to learn more about the property.”

Harris said that she often posts photos that she takes during open houses that show off her favorite rooms and unique aspects of the homes.

“Every once in awhile, if the seller has a pet that is there while I’m there, I’ll take a picture of the pet as my open house helper,” said Harris.

People need to see things to experience them and with real estate, those photos are to intrigue them to learn more about the property.”

— Stephanie Harris, a realtor at Stephens Real Estate Harper said that he thinks of his Instagram account as an equal mix of self-expression and a tool for marketing. As a realtor, Harper said he sees a number of aesthetically pleasing and interesting things on any given day.

He also has many small pockets of downtime that lend themselves to fiddling with his phone. Instagram fits neatly into his lifestyle. He also recently had a potential client track him down after seeing one of his posts on Instagram.

“There was no link, just a photo,” said Harper. “It is incredible that it can happen like that. It’s almost magic. It was so fast and it was free. That’s not the only reason I use Instagram, but why not?”

— Liz Weslander writes about the Lawrence real estate market for Hometown Lawrence.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Mother tries to micromanage daughter’s job Dear Annie: I am 17 years old. I have a job that requires I work only a few times a month, and the staff can trade shifts if they choose. I have been at this job for two years, and I enjoy it.

During my first year here, I was taken advantage of quite a lot. People would constantly ask me to change shifts, but I would later find out they had nothing particular going on to require it. I learned how to say no, because I don’t really trust some of them. I agree to change shifts with people who ask me in advance or tell me what’s going on, but have become wary of those who ask at the last minute.

The problem is my mother. She always makes me feel as though

mother think I’m good enough? I don’t drink, I go to church, I obey my parents, and I’m in the National Honor Society. People say my mother is lucky to have a daughter like me, but I don’t feel that from her.

I don’t mean to sound Marcy Sugar and conceited, Kathy Mitchell starting to getbuttiredI’m of anniesmailbox@comcast.net always being good. I’m I’m not behaving prop- scared I may just stop erly. When I’m asked trying. — Not Good to switch shifts for no Enough good reason, she says, “Why didn’t you say Dear Not Good: Evyes? You’re supposed eryone needs to feel to say yes.” I then get a that their efforts are aplecture on how I need preciated, and kids esto be more responsible pecially need to know and more understand- that their parents being when people have lieve them to be good other things to do with people. We think your their time. mother knows this, I know that most but she worries. She people’s intentions are doesn’t want you to good, but I don’t want alienate the people you to be taken advantage work with, but you are of. Why doesn’t my right to set boundaries

Annie’s Mailbox

‘Grace and Frankie’: Everything but funny An unfunny comedy is a lot like a homely person. We discuss them with polite evasion. Phrases like “sparkling conversationalist,” “nice hair,” “good dancer” and, worst of all, “interesting” come to mind.

“Grace a n d Frankie” is a very interesting show.

The latest series to stream in its entirety on Netflix, “Grace” is the creation of Marta Kauffman (“Friends”) and Howard J. Morris (“Home Improvement”) and sports a cast that’s simply stellar. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star as Grace and Frankie, polar opposites linked by the business partnership of their husbands, Robert (Martin Sheen) and Sol (Sam Waterston).

Grace is a vain and brittle ice queen, forever checking her makeup and brushing out her elaborately constructed hairdo. Frankie is a funky earth mother with a mind so open to New Age trends that she may have lost some gray matter along the way. Their lives are forever changed, and linked, when they receive the sudden news that their husbands are leaving them. For each other.

Forty years ago, this plot device might have been shocking.

At their best, sitcoms often unfold like little stage plays.

Given this cast and the broad nature of the material, “Grace” is not unlike some regional summer stock production with a notable, former A-list star in the cast to sell tickets.

It’s interesting (that word again) to note that Tomlin and Fonda co-starred in “9 to 5” some decades back, a movie as feminist as it was popular. Despite their history, Tomlin and Fonda share little chemistry.

A scene of them bonding at a beach bonfire while stoned out their minds is not believable for a nanosecond. It probably would not have been funny in a comedy from 1970 or 1979, but it might have made more sense.

Now, it just seems desperate.

Tonight’s other highlights

Hank and Nick zero in on a killer on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

Drew Barrymore barely has time to pop popcorn in the 1996 horror spoof “Scream” (7 p.m., Fox).

A scientist serves up a “lifelike” cadaver on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC).

Follow up on former contestants on “Beyond the Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Naturalist Sir David Attenborough is 89. Rock musician Alex Van Halen is 62. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is 54.

Singer Enrique Iglesias is 40.

Actor Matt Davis is 37.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, May 8: This year you often catch yourself daydreaming. Others notice that you aren’t always present.

Use care in professional situations.

If you are single, you could meet someone who enthralls you. If you are attached, the two of you frequently plan on taking weekends away together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your intuition works with an authority figure. This person wants to hear what you have to say. Tonight: Lead the gang into the weekend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Follow through on what needs to happen in order to make time to be with a loved one. Tonight: In the whirl of the moment.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll feel best relating to others on a one-on-one level.

Tension could build to a nearly unprecedented level. Tonight: A must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Defer to those around you. You might want to share a long-term goal or desire with a loved one. Tonight: Roll into the weekend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Whereas others seem to jump right into weekend mode, you’ll be left holding the bag.

for yourself (as long as you are polite about it).

It engenders respect.

But please don’t use your mother’s fretting as an excuse to go off the rails. Talk to her.

Reassure her that you are not expected to say “yes” to every request.

Let her know that she has done a great job raising you and now must allow you to make your own decisions and live with the consequences, so you can learn to be the responsible adult she expects.

Enlist her support and cooperation. Ask for her advice. It will make her happy to know you still value it.

— Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

jacquelinebigar.com

Tonight: Do what you must, then relax.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Don’t underestimate the ramifications of having to deal with an authority figure. Tonight: Charge into the weekend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could feel as if you have no choice but to respond to a family member. Tonight: Head home early.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be as direct as possible with a loved one. You will find this person’s response to be authentic.

Tonight: Hang with your pals.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll need to be more aware of your finances. How you deal with someone could change your direction. Tonight: Your treat.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be coming off a lot more domineering than you realize. Try to soften this character trait. Tonight: All smiles.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have the ability and the knowledge to take the lead, but the smart move is to let others assume that role. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could want to try a different approach. You might not be seeing the results you want.

Tonight: Let the party begin!

Kansas will face strong schedule in ’15-16

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

By a landslide

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational, a Champions Classic clash against Michigan State in Chicago, a road contest versus San Diego State and a home game against a yet-to-bedetermined foe in the Big 12/SEC Challenge highlight Kansas University’s 2015-16 nonconference basketball schedule, which was released on Thursday.

Possible foes in the Nov. 23-25 Maui Invitational: former KU All-American Danny Manning’s Wake Forest Demon Deacons, former KU assistant coach Kevin Stallings’ Vanderbilt Commodores, 2015 NCAA Tournament teams Indiana, St. John’s and UCLA, plus UNLV and Chaminade.

Pairings will be announced this summer.

The Michigan State game, set for Nov. 17, is a rematch of last year’s Orlando Classic final, which KU won, 61-56. The Spartans went on to reach the Final Four. San Diego State, which will play host to KU on Dec. 22, returns three of its top five scorers off a 27-9 squad that won the Mountain West Conference title.

There have been rumors that KU could possibly meet Kentucky in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, which will be Jan. 30 in Allen Fieldhouse.

Pairings should be released in coming weeks.

The Jayhawks will meet Oregon State on Dec. 12 in Sprint Center in Kansas City.

OSU returns all five starters off a 17-14 team. Coach Tommy Amaker’s Harvard team, which visits KU on Dec. 5, has reached the NCAAs four straight seasons and went 22-8 last year.

Montana, which visits Allen on Dec. 19, went 20-13 last season, losing to Texas A&M in the first round of the NIT. KU will face another NCAA Tournament team in UC Irvine on Dec. 29. The Anteaters of the Big West went 21-13 last year and return 7-foot-6 center Mamadou Ndiaye.

KU will also meet Northern Colorado on Nov. 13, Loyola of Maryland on Dec. 1 and Holy Cross on Dec. 9 in Allen. Holy Cross went 14-16, Loyola 11-19 and UNC 15-15 last season.

The 31st-annual Late Night in the Phog will be Oct. 9. The Jayhawks’ exhibition games will be against Pittsburg State (Nov. 4) and Emporia State (Nov. 10).

“It’s obviously another solid schedule,” KU head coach Bill Self said. “The last two years we played the toughest schedule in the country. This year we feel like, once again, this will be a schedule that will be one of the nation’s best. What jumps off the page is Michigan State, who went to the Final Four, all the possibilities of matchups at the Maui Invitational and the other teams who advanced to the postseason like Harvard, San Diego State, Montana and UC Irvine. San Diego State has always been a national power. The Big 12/ SEC Challenge game, which we will host, and all the others will certainly be great preparation for us going into what will, once again, be a terrific Big 12 Conference slate,” Self added. l First-rounders: Self has

LAWRENCE HIGH PITCHER ZOE BREWER, LEFT, CELEBRATES with Jolona Shield (6) after Brewer struck out a batter with the bases loaded in the first inning of the Lions’ 16-1 victory over Shawnee Mission East on Thursday at LHS.

Lawrence High rolls past SM East, 16-1

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Had it been another afternoon, Joe Dee Tarbutton might still be kicking himself for the mistake.

Lawrence High’s softball coach got in a hurry filling out his lineup card before Thursday afternoon’s home game against Shawnee Mission East, and in his haste forgot to put sophomore An-

nie Grammer in one of her usual slots, at the top of the order — anywhere from second to fifth.

Luckily for the coach, he remembered to pencil her in at No. 7 in the lineup. Grammer responded by blasting a three-run home run in the second inning, one of many offensive highlights for the Lions in a 16-1, four-inning rout.

Tarbutton told Grammer,

who went 2-for-3 with four RBIs near the bottom of the order, about the mishap before he posted the lineup in the dugout. The goodhearted sophomore didn’t even give her coach a hard time about it.

“I should’ve,” she said after Lawrence (8-7) won for the fifth time in its last seven games.

Obviously it worked out fine for all involved. After

LHS put three runs on the board in the first inning, behind Jolona Shield’s double and Brook Sumonja’s triple, the floodgates opened in the second. Grammer’s shot just inside the left-field foul pole capped a seven-run inning and put the Lancers in a 10-0 hole.

“I thought it was about time,” Grammer said of her Please see LIONS, page 3C

Firebirds take 14-0 lead, then must wait

FREE STATE’S HALEY JUMP MAKES A PLAY during the Firebirds’ game with Shawnee Mission West on Thursday at FSHS. Free State led, 14-0, when play was suspended because of rain.

The only thing that could stop Free State High softball players at the plate on Thursday was Mother Nature.

The Firebirds posted 14 runs and just one out in the bottom of the first inning against Shawnee Mission West before the game was suspended because of inclement weather with FSHS leading, 14-0. The game will be resumed at 3:30 p.m. Monday before they play host to Lawrence High in the City Showdown.

The first 11 Free State batters reached base on six hits,

four walks and one error.

Their offensive explosion was highlighted by an opposite-. field grand slam by junior Cali Byrn, smashing a pitch over the fence in right-center.

“Outside pitch, just drove it that way,” Byrn said with a smile. “Hitting is all a mental game. So when you have the confidence, hitting is nothing.”

“That was all power there,” FSHS coach Lee Ice added.

“That was not generated by any pitch speed whatsoever.”

After the first three batters drew walks, Byrn, junior Kate Stanwix, senior Lily Ross and Please see FIREBIRDS, page 3C

Jayhawks enjoy Special Olympics clinic

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

A quirk in the schedule that forced the postponement of last winter’s Special Olympics clinic with the Kansas University women’s basketball team turned out to be beneficial for first-year KU coach Brandon Schneider and his new team.

Instead of continuing to criss-cross the country for recruiting trips, family obligations and in search of his new staff, Schneider, decked out in full crimsonand-blue attire, was in Allen Fieldhouse with his team on Thursday night, working through drills and competitions with more than 30 Please see HOOPS, page 3C Special Olympians.

“The opportunity to involve a group of people who are just rabid Jayhawk fans and have ’em down on the floor of Allen Fieldhouse was a great opportunity,” Schneider said.

And that wasn’t just the case for KU’s new coach.

Those who participated in Thursday’s clinic were boisterous and enthusiastic from beginning to end.

Whether they were cheering the number of the 10 or so current and former KU players who worked the clinic or celebrating a successful bucket during one of the drills, the energy was John Young/Journal-World Photo boiling over at every staKANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CHAYLA CHEADLE makes a hoop with her arms so Christian tion.

Morris twins plead not guilty to assault Phoenix — Phoenix Suns players Marcus and Markieff Morris have pleaded not guilty to two counts of felony aggravated assault.

The twins are accused of helping three others beat a man outside a Phoenix recreation center on Jan. 24. The brothers entered their pleas Thursday morning in Maricopa County Superior Court.

According to a Phoenix police report, 36-year-old Erik Hood says five people, including the Morris brothers, repeatedly punched and kicked him. Hood says he suffered a fractured nose, abrasions and a large bump on his head.

A call to the Suns for comment on the case was not immediately returned.

The 6-foot-9 twins became teammates in 2013 when Marcus was traded to the Suns.

Their next court appearance is an initial pretrial conference set for June 30.

Wizards’ Wall has broken wrist, hand Washington — John Wall has five non-displaced fractures in his left wrist and hand, and the AllStar guard’s playing status has not been determined.

BRIEFLY Rain alters prep schedules Inclement weather played havoc with local high school sports schedules Thursday.

Lawrence High’s girls soccer team was trailing, 3-0, in the first half against Shawnee Mission South when its game was suspended. The two schools will try to finish the game at 4 p.m. today. There’s 6:22 remaining in the first half.

Free State High’s baseball team had its game against Shawnee Mission South rained out. The Firebirds will attempt to make up the game at 4 p.m. today, but will save their Senior Day festivities for prior to their game Thursday against Lawrence High at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

Lawrence High’s baseball team was tied in the third inning, 5-5, at Olathe East when the game was suspended. The Lions were trailing by three runs after the first inning before RBI extra-base hits from junior Daonte Lowery and senior Michael Sinks in the second inning. The game is expected to be resumed next week.

FSHS, LHS swimmers set for league

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Free State senior Courtney Caldwell has racked up her fair share of individual swimming accolades during her four years at FSHS. Despite the success Caldwell and her fellow Firebird seniors have had in their high school careers, they still have a unfinished business going into today’s Sunflower League Championship prelims at Chisholm Trail Middle School in Olathe.

After finishing fourth at league in 2012, the Fire-

birds recorded back-toback runner-up finishes in 2013 and 2014 and are looking to dethrone perennial power Shawnee Mission East.

The Lancers edged the Firebirds by 12 points at league in 2014, but FSHS cut the deficit from the previous year by 40 points.

The Firebirds know they have the firepower to win a league title, especially after defeating the Lancers in a dual meet on April 21 at Free State for the first time since 2007.

“I think their confidence is increasing,” FSHS coach Annette Mc-

Donald said following the Firebirds’ Senior Night on April 30. “However, I know they know they have some work to do because it’s not a done deal.

You win by four points by .03 seconds. Otherwise, it would have been a tie.

That tells you that there is more work to do.”

Caldwell echoed her head coach’s comments.

The North Carolina State signee realizes that the midseason victory over the Lancers will not mean anything when it comes to going for a league or state championship.

“We can’t go in too

Former Kansas University women’s basketball standout Lynette Woodard has been chosen for the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women’s Basketball Award, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced Thursday.

Woodard was a fourtime Kodak All-American and is the all-time leading scorer for Division I women’s college basketball with 3,649 points.

“I am very honored and excited to receive this prestigious award,” Woodard said. “Thank you to the Atlanta Tipoff Club for recognizing me as the 2015 Naismith Outstanding Contributor to Women’s Basketball Award. I am very proud to be included with such an elite group.

I have been blessed in so many ways by the game I love. I will cherish this award and always be grateful for this recognition.”

Kansas University’s rowing team has added nine signees, coach Rob Catloth announced Thursday.

The 2015-16 commitments: Brittany Cost (Olathe), Meghan Dwyer (Shawnee), Rylee Goodson (Overland Park), Jessica Kirchner (Shawnee), Victoria Snitsar (Sunnyvale, California), Lilly Stewart (Tecumseh), Kayla Stubblefield (San Jose, California), Michaela Theis (Kingman) and Paige Young (Liberal).

“We’re extremely excited about this group,” Catloth said. “We have a pretty good freshman group coming in with some athleticism, a few experienced coxswains and rowers. We feel this is a start to another strong freshman class to follow up the one we had this year, which exceeded our expectations. We really believe this class has that same amount of potential.”

cocky,” Caldwell said.

“We need to do our job and stayed focused.”

Lawrence High coach Kent McDonald has been focused on getting his Lions primed for the league meet as well. The Lions have placed fifth or sixth at league for the past three seasons, and McDonald has stressed the importance of defeating Sunflower League teams throughout the season.

“We’re done with our regular season, and now it’s our championship part,” the LHS coach said.

“I want them to know that this is really what we’ve

been going for all year. We haven’t rested a whole lot for any of the meets.”

Sophomore Mary Reed-Weston was the Lions’ lone top-three event finisher at the 2014 league meet, finishing third in the 200 IM. ReedWeston feels like the Lions have put in the training to climb up the league standings this year.

“I think we’re in a pretty good spot,” ReedWeston said. “Everyone has been working really hard, so I think that puts us in a good place to do really well at league and state.”

Lions

impressed with the varsity pitching debut of Brewer. The freshman pitched four innings, allowed five hits, struck out four and walked two, while working with freshman catcher Abby Murrish.

Brewer loaded the bases with no outs in the second inning and got out of the jam by striking out three Lancers in a row. In the fourth, SME loaded the bases with no outs again, and the freshman held the visitors to one run.

With one out in the fourth, Garvin saved at least a couple of runs in center field by sprinting down a line drive to the left-field gap.

In Grammer’s eyes, that might have been the most impressive play of the afternoon.

“Your heart was racing a little bit since the bases were loaded,” Grammer said, “and then when she did that it was kind of like a relief.”

East’s threat died when Brewer snagged a waisthigh line drive that came whizzing back at her.

Said Shield: “That was a pretty awesome catch.”

Lawrence’s second game, against Shawnee Mission West, was postponed due to inclement weather.

“It really challenges our team’s mental toughness because you have to stay focused and you can’t go down to the other team’s level,” said Byrn, who was 2-for-2 with two runs and five RBIs. “It’s a good game to see what you’re made of and to make sure you are

A senior, Shield went 3-for-3 and drove a runner or two home each time she put the ball in play, on her way to four RBIs. “It feels good,” Shield said of winning easily and getting everyone involved. “It brings up our confidence a lot — all of us hitting like that. It really goes into the next game.”

Senior Morgan Byrn smacked two-run doubles in both the third and fourth innings, including the game-clincher, and finished 3-for-4 with five RBIs. Junior Sumonja, Grammer, freshman Zoe Brewer and senior Kenzie Garvin all finished with two hits.

The Lions, Tarbutton said, knew they were better than SME, so they came out confident and relaxed. He wants them to enter every game in that fashion, because doing so will take them far.

Americans are being contacted to sign up for the 2015-16 season, to begin in October.

On the league’s Website (lvdbasket.com), it says McDonald’s All-Americans will earn $700,000, underclassmen with college eligibility $400,000 and free agents $100,000 for the upcoming season.

ing to use basketball to provide a better situation for their families,” says owner Brown. “Our innovative model targets the McDonald’s All-Americans who are projected first-round prospects by NBA scouts and general managers. This concept allows for the highly touted player to bypass college and immediately become a paid professional. We are able to offer competitive salaries averaging around $700k to the highly touted McDonald’s All-Americans who are typically ‘one and done’ players and $400k for college underclassmen. The Dealers’ niche will be based on giving basketball players a different option than what is presently offered in America. Before this, underclassmen had to either play college ball or go overseas. Venturing to Europe will not be a necessity when a U.S.-based organization will play top European teams.”

Brady’s legacy tarnished by findings

By Bob Glauber Newsday

One of the greatest figures in professional sports history must now be accompanied by one giant asterisk that will cloud a legacy — maybe forever.

Attorney Ted Wells’ long-awaited report on the Patriots’ use of deflated footballs during the Patriots’ AFC Championship Game win over the Colts casts a pall on Tom Brady’s reputation that even four Super Bowl championships and his stature as possibly the greatest quarterback who ever lived can ever fully remove.

And once NFL commissioner Roger Goodell designate Troy Vincent — the NFL’s executive VP of football operations — weighs in with potential punishment for what sure looks like Brady’s knowledge of and willful intent to break the rules, the quarterback’s standing will be sullied even further. Vincent needs to send a strong message with a meaningful sentence: a minimum six-game suspension.

Several of the KU players said they recognized the faces of the participants from game nights and autograph lines. And getting a chance to interact with them instead

He did not look desire to have the footor sound like a man who balls he used in games knew nothing about the deflated to under the serious charges he was minimum 12.5 pounds answering to.

The attendants — Jim Wells said in his report McNally, the officials’ that Brady “denied any locker room attendant, knowledge of or involveand John Jastremski, ment in any efforts to an equipment assistant deflate game balls after for the Patriots — said the pre-game inspection enough to investigators by the game officials.”

The attorney added that Brady claimed that “he did not know McNally’s name or anything about McNally’s game-day responsibilities.” Wells concluded that “we found these claims not plausible and contradicted by other evidence. In fact, during his interview, Jastremski acknowledged that Brady knew McNally and McNally’s role as officials locker room attendant. Similarly, McNally told NFL security that he had been personally told by Brady of Brady’s inflation level preference.”

These are damning conclusions drawn by Wells, whose meticulous 243-page report included interviews with Brady, numerous Patriots coaches and officials — even a Princeton University physics professor — providing an exhaustive look into the matter.

And Brady’s unwillingness to fully cooperate in the investigation leaves him open to more second-guessing than any throw he has ever made. If he had nothing to hide, then why not give Wells and his inves-

tigative team access to records that might help resolve the issue? The fact that Brady would not surrender texts, phone records or emails suggests that there was plenty to hide.

Wells was hired to investigate a very narrow set of circumstances — the reasons behind the deflated footballs in the AFC title game, as well as whether the Patriots introduced an unauthorized kicking ball in the previous week’s game against the Ravens (the report found no evidence that they did). What wasn’t examined was whether there was a pattern of abuse when it came to the possibility that deflated footballs were used in previous games.

We’ll never fully know the answers, but when it comes out in Wells’ report that McNally referred to himself in a text message as “the deflator,” and when the circumstantial evidence certainly points in the direction that this was not the first time Brady used deflated footballs to potentially gain an

advantage by improving his grip, it certainly looks like it happened before. Perhaps a lot more.

It is important to note that Patriots coach Bill Belichick, whose team was caught illegally taping the Jets’ defensive signals in the 2007 regular season opener and was punished severely

by Goodell, was exonerated in the Wells report.

Neither Belichick nor his coaches, nor Patriots owner Robert Kraft, were found to have any knowledge of the deflated footballs.

This was all on Brady.

The NFL may still level severe punishment on the organization in the form of a fine and/ or the removal of one or more draft picks. But the real target of the league’s disciplinary decision should be the quarterback. Brady needs to be suspended.

Unfortunately for the 37-year-old quarterback, a former sixth-round pick who grew into the most accomplished passer of our time, no punishment can ever undo the damage to his legacy.

of just putting on a show for them made the night memorable.

“When I’m playing, I feel the same way they do when they’re out here,” said freshman Chayla Cheadle. “So it’s just great to be able to give back to the community like this.”

Added sophomore for-

now, the opportunity to be on the floor with their new coach, even in a limited basis, also proved beneficial.

“I’m excited to be able to build a relationship with him,” ManningAllen said of Schneider.

“He’s excited to coach us, we’re excited to play for him and we’re all

ready to let him push us as hard as he can.”

That will come, in time.

But for now Schneider said he was focused on filling out his coaching staff, continuing to hit the recruiting trail and getting summer camps lined up.

Asked if holding the keys and whistle to his new job had sunk in yet,

Schneider sounded a little further along than he did on the day he was introduced last month.

“It has because you’ve reported for work every day,” he said. “And I’m gonna get out in the community as much as I possibly can, as fast as I can.

I think all that’s really, really important.”

ward Caelynn ManningAllen: “The best part was just the opportunity to make people smile.

Making their day really brought a light to my own and it’s very humbling to be out there with them.”

Of course, with everything involving the KU program so new right

The Yankees star hit a liner off Baltimore’s Chris Tillman (2-4) into a secure area just to the left of Monument Park in center field in the third inning to give New York a 3-2 lead. A-Rod sent a soaring shot in the first that Delmon Young caught by reaching over the top of the wall in right field for a sacrifice fly.

Next up for Rodriguez: Babe Ruth at 714 home runs.

The slugger pumped his fist as he rounded first base, and fans gave Rodriguez a standing ovation as he was greeted warmly in the dugout by his teammates.

Mark Teixeira stepped out of the batter’s box as the cheers swelled. Rodriguez briefly emerged from the dugout and waved to the crowd with both hands above his head.
