Plans for railcar rehab plant on hold

DEATHS Journal-World obituary policy: For information about running obituaries, call 832-7151. Obituaries run as submitted by funeral homes or the families of the deceased.

Hutchinson (ap) — Plans to develop a $40 million railroad car refurbishing plant in Hutchinson have been temporarily derailed.

Mervis Railcar announced last year that it planned to build the plant on 100 acres in Hutchinson, with construction starting in April. However, company officials said Thursday those plans will be delayed because of dropping oil prices and new rules for tank cars that ship hazardous fluids, which federal officials released last week, The Hutchinson News reported.

The company indicated it still intends to build the plan but it’s unsure how long the delay will be.

Company CEO Adam Mervis said the company has invested several million dollars in planning for the plant so it will work to make it happen.

But he said company officials are considering how the new federal rules will affect the industry.

Even when the project does move forward, the company may have to rework plans for the plant’s design to respond to the rule revisions, said Larry Culligan, director of railcar operations. Further development of those plans has halted “until we figure things out,” he said.

“We’ve made strides in the design, but we’re at a pause point,” he said. “We don’t have a firm date to make a decision to go this way or that. We’re actively crunching the numbers to get a sense of that.”

Mervis Railcar had projected the plant would employ 150 people within three years, inspecting, cleaning and retrofitting tank cars for crude oil and ethanol shippers, when it announced its plans for the plant.

“This is certainly a disappointing development,” said Jason Ball, president of the Hutchinson and Reno County Chamber of Commerce. “Given the macroeconomic trends in oil production and transportation, we understand Mervis Railcar’s need to re-evaluate its business plan. Our office is actively working with Adam and his team and will continue to assist in any way we can.”

READERS SHARE MOTHER’S DAY MEMORIES My mother took me to libraries from the time of some of my earliest memories. I distinctly remember us walking up the steps and into a huge, castle-like, red sandstone building that had to have been a Carnegie library building in Memphis, Tenn., where I grew up. I can still remember standing there in awe of rooms filled with books, savoring the beauty of the colors of the books as well as the distinctive scent of old books. I am grateful to have had a mother who encouraged me to read and to learn about worlds unknown and worlds to be only imagined by a little girl who had so much to learn about life. Thank you, Geraldine Irion Will.

My mother, Eileen Iles, was a single, divorced mother of three, back in the ’50s before it was fashionable.

She worked two jobs to make sure we kids had a roof over our heads and food to eat, even though many times she went without. She passed away last April at 93, leaving behind three children, five grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. All of us miss her very much.

stays positive, no matter what he or she is doing, they’ll be successful for life.

She’s really good at academics and she’s a tremendous hard worker,” Jin-Kyung says of her daughter. “I just want her to be herself and stay positive.”

Those keen organizational skills come in handy for Bryce, who stays busy teaching martial arts and accompanying his mother on percussion in their church’s singing quartet. In all areas, Bryce commands the admiration and respect of his peers — and younger kids, who Cynthia says look up to the good-natured teenager.

“He works in the nursery at church, and it’s like he’s a little-kid magnet, especially the little boys,” she says. “It seems like this natural leadership that he exudes when he’s around kids.”

Though he’s just a sophomore, Bryce says he’s already thinking about the future. With both parents being teachers, it’s not unlikely that he might get into the family business someday.

He says his mother — who was born in Nova Scotia and ventured far from her home and family to attend graduate school at Florida State University — has inspired him over the years.

“She’s at the top of her profession, and obviously that takes a lot of leadership and skill,” Bryce says. “I’d say she’s a great leader.”

have been so frequent over the years that Tandy Reussner, her husband and two daughters have embraced the nickname.

“We sing our prayers at every meal, we sing our bedtime prayers, we just sing everything,” says Liesel Reussner, 22. “I think music has been a really big bonding thing for our family.”

Even the Reussners’ orange tabby, Buddy, sometimes gets in on the action.

The cat’s melodic meows echoed through their West Lawrence home earlier this week as mother and daughters reminisced about their musical upbringing.

“It was just something we did, and we didn’t really question it,” says Hannah, 18, during a brief pit stop at home between a physics test and soccer practice. “It seemed normal to us.”

Both girls eventually moved on to other instruments — Liesel on the oboe, Hannah on the trumpet — but started out on the piano, with Tandy, a concert organist with a doctorate in organ performance, as their teacher. To create a division between the two relationships, Liesel and Hannah developed a special routine for each lesson.

“We would go out the back door of the house, ring the doorbell at the front door, and now Mom is Mrs. Reussner, our piano teacher,” recalls Liesel.

The trick worked like a charm for years.

“You were very polite and well-behaved,” Tandy tells her daughters, the pride evident in her voice.

Since 1996, Tandy has headlined her annual Organ Vespers holiday concert in

Lawrence. Liesel and Hannah have been involved in the recital for most of their lives, often helping with the set list and singing duets accompanied by their mother.

With both girls graduating this month — Liesel with a bachelor’s in speech, language and hearing from Kansas University; Hannah from Free State High School and moving on to Central College in Pella, Iowa — Tandy says she isn’t sure what next year’s concert will look like.

“I’m doing it,” Hannah quickly assures her mother, batting away Tandy’s reminder that the concert will likely fall right before final exams.

“You think you are,”

Tandy says with a laugh.

“We’ll see.”

Jin-Kyung Lee and daughter Joo-Young Lee Growing up, Joo-Young Lee would often hear her pianist mother say, “Music is like a vitamin.”

“It is for me, especially,” says Jin-Kyung, sitting alongside her 18-year-old daughter at their Lawrence dining table. “Sometimes music is healing.”

Like taking daily vitamins, music has remained a constant in Joo-Young’s life since birth. Piano was the first instrument she studied as a young girl under her mother’s tutelage. At age 5, she began tagging along to her older sister’s violin les-

sons and decided she might try her hand at learning the instrument, too.

She’s stayed at it for 13 years now and will probably continue playing on the side when she heads off this fall to Northwestern University, where she ultimately plans on studying medicine.

Today, Jin-Kyung will accompany her daughter on stage at the Lawrence Community Orchestra’s Mother’s Day concert, slated for 4 p.m. at Lawrence Free State High School, 4700 Overland Drive.

“Just playing the violin, I think, has taught me a lot of things that are applicable in other parts of life, like focusing on small details,” she says. “And perseverance.”

It’s a lesson she’s also learned from her mother, who emigrated from South Korea in the early 1990s to pursue graduate studies at Boston University.

Jin-Kyung works as an accompanist (here in town for KU ballet classes and at Topeka’s Hayden High School and Christ the King Catholic Church) and teaches piano from her home.

Behind her warm, welcoming smile (“she’s always taught me manners and to be nice to others,” Joo-Young says) is a tough steadfastness that has kept Jin-Kyung going despite some serious health issues.

After being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, Jin-Kyung underwent a lumpectomy this year, recently finished radiation therapy and has now moved onto hormone therapy.

Throughout the ordeal — she’s doing OK now, Jin-Kyung says — the mother of two has retained a sunny outlook, which she hopes she’s passed on to Joo-Young.

“I believe if someone

Cynthia Colwell Dunn and son Bryce Dunn Even before receiving his first drum set for Christmas at age 9, Bryce Dunn was a percussionist.

“Everything is a percussion instrument to him,” says his mother, Cynthia Colwell Dunn, director of music therapy at KU. “Even just his body, my car, his little brother, objects around him.”

That innate rhythmic ability comes from both parents, says Bryce, whose father, Dwayne Dunn, also happens to be his choir director at Lawrence High School, where the 16-yearold sophomore serves as president of the concert choir and plays percussion in the band.

“Your nit-picking, detailoriented stuff comes from me, I think,” Cynthia tells her son from across the living room of their West Lawrence home. “He’s very organized and systematic — he’s the most organized teenager I’ve ever seen. But other than that, he’s his dad.”

My mother, Mittora Pennington March, born in Grady, Ark., had a minor handicap but she managed to raise six kids, and took care of the quadriplegic sister for 30 plus years.

In the end she came to live with me because of dementia.

That was the best and hardest two years. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, that bonding is my fondest memory.

the use of deadly force by the police. Instead, the suspects were arrested with no guns fired, a result of officers calmly following department use-of-force policies, McKinley said.

“Great restraint was shown on the part of our officers who were attacked or threatened with weapons,” McKinley said about last weekend’s events.

“There are plenty of negative law enforcement stories out there in the media these days, but these are examples of some of the types of calls we are faced with in Lawrence and how they were resolved with appropriate uses of force,” he said.

The department’s use of force policy calls for officers to use only the level of force that is “reasonably necessary” to prevent harm or make a lawful arrest.

Here’s what happened last weekend: Just after noon last Sunday, a male passenger fled a vehicle that two officers had been attempting to stop.

As officers tried to arrest the man, he punched an officer, damaging the officer’s glasses and bicycle helmet, McKinley said.

The officer, who suffered bruising and swelling to his cheek and eye, ran after the man, ultimately tackling and arresting him.

About an hour later, an officer attempted to arrest a man who had allegedly threatened WalMart employees with a knife. The man resisted arrest, displaying the weapon to police, McKinley said. The officer drew his handgun and ordered the man to drop the knife, and a second officer soon arrived and did the same.

When a third officer arrived, the man was distracted long enough for an officer to replace his gun with a Taser stun gun and shock the man, who dropped the knife and was taken into custody.

The use-of-force policy allows officers a variety of options, including control holds, pepper spray, batons, Tasers and handguns. Proper tool selection depends on the situation, according to the

Sunday, May 10, 2015 policy, and is influenced by factors including a suspect’s behavior, offense severity, what alternative actions are available and the likelihood of an immediate threat or flee attempt.

“The reasonableness of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on scene, rather than on 20/20 hindsight,” the policy states. “The decision of reasonableness must allow for the fact officers are often forced to make split-second judgments, in circumstances which are tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving.”

McKinley said last week’s Taser use on the knife-wielding man was a good example of appropriate use. It took a team of officers to safely make the arrest, and without the backup that responded the event could have come to a grimmer conclusion.

“You have to have the adequate amount of personnel,” McKinley said.

“One officer can be talking and negotiating with a suspect while the other officers are prepared with other tactics.”

A recent report by Lawrence police Sgt. Rob Murry showed that eleven people were subdued with stun guns in 2014, all them “actively threatening or engaged in physical violence” or “actively and physically resisting lawful arrests.”

Police-involved fatalities have stirred unrest in communities including Ferguson, Mo., New York and Baltimore, and they have led to significant public discussion about police use of force.

Use of potentially deadly force is rare in Lawrence, but was seen just last year when Lawrence police officer Skylar Richardson shot Zachary Ortiz, 24, of Lawrence, after Ortiz allegedly leveled a shotgun at Richardson and failed to comply with Richardson’s demands to drop the weapon. Before the Ortiz shooting, the last officer-involved shooting took place in 2006.

Ortiz survived the shooting, and after a twoweek required investigation into the incident, Douglas County District Attorney Charles Bran-

| 5A

son ruled Richardson’s use of force was justified.

Department policy and Kansas statute say deadly force is justified if it is needed to: l “Prevent death or great bodily harm to an officer or another person l Stop a suspect believed to have committed or attempted a felony “involving great bodily harm” from fleeing l Stop a suspect attempting to flee by use of a deadly weapon l Stop a suspect when circumstances indicate he or she will “endanger human life or inflict great bodily harm unless arrested without delay.”

Though each officer is well versed in force tactics, the preferred way to resolve a situation is through communication, McKinley and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Steve Lewis said.

“Verbal skills for anyone in law enforcement are critical because we deal with everything from greeting a passerby with a friendly ‘hello,’ to a subject with a weapon threatening to hurt someone,” Lewis said.

Lewis said sheriff’s deputies are taught the “ask, tell, make” approach in gaining control of a situation. First, an officer asks a subject to comply, then the officer will demand that the person comply. As a last resort, force is used to make a subject comply, Lewis said.

“One always attempts to defuse the situation, whether that be ‘let’s bring the tension down to talk this out,’ to having someone give themselves up or drop a weapon,” Lewis said.

Lewis, whose department has a use-of-force policy similar to the police department’s, said it is imperative to the law enforcement profession that all officers abide by their guidelines.

“It is absolutely critical (to comply with policy) to maintain the integrity of the officer, department and the whole profession,” Lewis said. “If (the public) doesn’t see us as maintaining integrity, how will they trust us?”

Lawrence food drive collects 17,743 pounds of food Staff Reports

The annual Stamp Out Hunger food drive collected more than 17,000 pounds of canned and nonperishable foods Saturday.

Letter carriers picked up 17,743 pounds of food community wide, said Elizabeth Keever, chief resource and marketing officer for Lawrence food bank Just Food. She added that monetary donations still are coming in and haven’t yet been

added to the total.

“We’re pleased about making this year a success,” Keever said.

Last year, Just Food and the Lawrence chapter of the National Association of Letter Carriers collected 25,000 pounds of food. Keever said the food bank hopes the final total this year will surpass last year’s.

The food collected in the drive helps Just Food and its partners prepare for the summer months, when

more families need food assistance, Keever said.

on the ship for a moment to get the dictionaries. He says no. He’ll do it. Carolyn is 19 years old, so she argues. If you have a teenager, you know the feeling.

But hopefully there are no teenagers today with the feeling that weighs on Carolyn.

“I’m thinking he can’t go,” Carolyn says. “In my mind, I said, if I die, it is OK, but if my father dies, no one will lead us anywhere.” l l l

It started 40 days earlier. The banging on the front door of their home in Da Nang. Her father’s loud voice saying “we have to go now, we have to go now.” Carolyn’s father was Kham Cong Hoang, a captain in the South Vietnamese Army. He was a commander at the base in Da Nang, and he had learned that the remaining American “advisers” were being pulled out of the country.

When the Americans were leaving, it was time for everyone else to go, too.

Carolyn grabbed her still wet school uniform from the wash and her dictionaries, too. Running from the communists wasn’t the only thing on her mind. She was a senior in high school, and she was studying for her national tests, an exam that must be taken to gain admittance to a university.

“I thought I would be back somehow,” Carolyn says. “I thought life would go on.”

Carolyn remembers the chaos increasing the closer they got to the military base. Long lines of cars of other military families seeking to leave.

Most of them, though, didn’t have a captain in the car. She remembers her father getting out of the car with pistol in hand, asking a guard “this is how you do your job?”

A path was cleared for Carolyn and her family. l l l

Carolyn stood at the rail of a Phillipine destroyer that was evacuating her family and others to the capital city of Saigon, a safe haven because it was farther south and away from the front lines. Her father wasn’t on the ship. He was on shore, dressed in full combat gear, with grenades hanging from a belt, a rifle slung over a shoulder.

“I saw my father’s silhouette in the background of the early morning dawn,” Carolyn wrote in a recent set of memoirs. “His image etched deep in my brain.

I’m still seeing it clearly today.”

Her father promised Carolyn that he would meet up with them in Saigon. They stayed with an uncle there, just outside the city. Days turned into weeks without any sign of her father. Then,

“We were sitting in front of the building, and he showed up on his motorcycle,” Carolyn says.

“He just looked at us and smiled. That is all he did.

He was just so calm. I could tell he didn’t want to cry.”

But soon it became apparent that Saigon was no safe haven. Carolyn remembers when she realized they were leaving and wouldn’t return.

“I saw my father dismiss all his people from his unit,” Caroyln says.

“He said ‘you are on your own now.’ They opened up the supply room and divided it equally.”

Carolyn’s dreams of somehow staying had died by now.

“I told my father I want us to run until we have nowhere else to run,” Carolyn wrote. “My father said that he would rather have us all die together with a hand grenade than being captured by the enemy. I went to sleep with peace.” l l l

A ship from the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet eventually rescued Carolyn and her family off that barge in the South China Sea. When that ship pulled ashore at Subic Bay in the Philippines, the Red Cross greeted the Vietnamese refugees with a wedge of apple and can of Coke.

“It was like food from heaven,” Carolyn says.

While at Subic Bay, there was much talk

about what refugee camp they wanted to go to in America. All Vietnamese had the same answer, Carolyn says: California.

“It was 100 percent California,” Carolyn says. “We knew the U.S. pretty well. We knew Pennsylvania was a place for steel. We knew Ohio was a place for coal. We knew California was a place for good weather.”

There was also time for other matters in the Philippines, like reflection.

“While we were running, you couldn’t think about what was happening behind you,” Carolyn says. “You just charged ahead. My thought was I had to survive. We had to stay together. When we got to the Philippines, that’s when you started to realize who didn’t make the trip.”

Eventually, Carolyn and her family would arrive at a refugee camp at Fort Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania. From there, they would end up moving to the small community of Storm Lake, Iowa.

How did they end up there?

Well, one answer is that Saint Mark Lutheran Church of Storm Lake sponsored all 11 members of Carolyn’s family. They provided the family with a fourbedroom house to get settled in America.

That’s one answer.

Kids’ basketball clinic also addresses suicide prevention

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Still sweaty after hours of playing basketball, kids raised their hands with questions for five Kansas University basketball players as part of the Isaiah Ott Basketball Clinic on Saturday at Lawrence High School. While questions like “How tall are you?” and “What’s your favorite basketball shoe?”

were asked, the conversation also addressed the topic of finding support when experiencing difficult emotions.

The students, in grades four through eight, were participants in a free suicide prevention basketball clinic in honor of Isaiah Ott, a Lawrence teen who committed suicide in June 2013.

least two dozen are considering spending cuts or property tax increases.

Local school officials also wonder how the Legislature’s budget and tax debates will play out in the final weeks of the session. Legislative researchers estimate that lawmakers must close a $422 million budget deficit for the fiscal year beginning July 1 — a problem arising after income tax cuts in 2012 and 2013 that conservatives said would stimulate the economy.

“We’re dealing so much right now with the unknowns,” said Eric Deitcher, president of the school board for the Shawnee Heights district, which is ending its school year two days early and imposed $195,000 in costcutting measures.

The law took effect in April, jettisoning the state’s previous per-student formula for distributing more than $4 billion for predictable “block grants” based on districts’ current aid for each of the next two school years.

The sharp contrast

between schools’ belttightening and legislators’ rosy outlooks was highlighted during a recent two-day hearing in Shawnee County District Court, where the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Wichita, and Kansas City Kansas, districts are asking a three-judge panel to block the new law. They argue that it harms their programs and prevents the state from fulfilling a constitutional duty to provide a suitable education to every child.

Supporters of the new cuts (or, as they call it, “a reduction of the increase”) brought funding back to what lawmakers thought it would be last spring — a point that Art Chalmers, a Wichita attorney representing the state, came back repeatedly in questioning witnesses.

“The revenue that you have to spend this year is a substantial increase from last year,” Chalmers told Kansas City superintendent Cynthia Lane in court, referring to researchers’ estimate

— Jose Cornejo, USD 497 social worker Aaron Miles and Isaiah’s father, Elwood Ott, coordinated the event. Ott said the goal of the clinic was to raise awareness and also offer a different way to help a parent or child who might be in a

similar situation.

Ott said Isaiah, who would have been graduating this month, had wanted to one day host his own basketball camp.

Hosting the clinic, which about 65 kids attended,

was a way to accomplish that goal for his son.

“As a parent, we want to fulfill all our kid’s wants and needs, and this was the last one I could fulfill for him,” Ott said.

by Miles, and the USD 497 Native American Student Services sponsored the event. In addition to basketball drills, players participated in infor-

that total state aid has increased by $176 million in the current school year, even with the new law’s cuts.

Some of the aid was designed to force down local property tax levies for schools, and Chalmers noted those declined an average of 5 percent; though in Kansas City’s case, it was 18 percent.

But Lane said the new law doesn’t adjust for an increasing number of students in a district or who have special needs, such as English as a Second Language.

And John Robb, an attorney for the districts suing the state, said: “They played bait and switch with the school district funding.”

But Shawn Sullivan, the governor’s budget director, said some districts are simply imposing changes in staffing or programs that administrations were already pursuing — or, in the case of those ending the school year early, cutting unused snow days.

“We become the scapegoat,” Sullivan said.

to kind of counter some of the messages that you see,” she said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that from 2013 to 2014, e-cigarette use among middle and high schoolers tripled. It also surpassed the use of every other tobacco product among high schoolers.

The study involves Anderson and others evaluating over 90 stores with licenses to sell tobacco and e-cigarette products in Douglas County. The department is partnering with Kansas University journalism professor Yvonnes Chen on the project.

The health department study is funded with a $1.3 million grant from the CDC. Anderson said she still has about 20 stores left to check out, and an analysis of the data could be completed in June.

At each store, Anderson examines a number of characteristics. Is a school within sight? What kinds of cigarettes are available? Are there price promotions? Is there a health warning poster anywhere?

mational sessions with Headquarters Counseling Center and USD 497 social workers in which they learned about the center’s crisis support services and were encouraged to go to a counselor or trusted adult when dealing with emotional problems.

“It’s getting kids talking about suicide, because it’s really a taboo subject,” said Jose Cornejo, USD 497 social worker.

I think our public does need to be educated about the prevalence of tobacco marketing in today’s world.”

— Yvonnes Chen, Kansas University journalism professor Presto wasn’t alarming to Anderson. Inside, there were a few price promotions and some leaflets at the counter for e-cigarettes, but nothing ostentatious. On an evaluation packet, there’s a box asking whether the advertising is overwhelming. She left it blank.

That’s not the case everywhere. Anderson said she is finding that the ads at stores on Lawrence’s north and east sides — specifically where those of lower financial means tend to live — are a bit harder to ignore.

She chose one gas station along North Second Street in North Lawrence as example. There are eight tobacco and e-cigarette advertisements on the outside and they sit at a somewhat lower eye level.

A yellow one, more than a foot tall and wide, says electronic cigarettes are sold here. It tells viewers they can be smoked anywhere, any time (referring to the lack of regulation), and they are a “healthier smoking alternative.” This place

got a check next to the “overwhelming” box on Anderson’s sheet.

The health industry as a whole hasn’t determined whether e-cigarettes are in fact a healthier option than regular cigarettes because their effects are not yet well documented. In any case, they still often contain nicotine, which is harmful to the brain, especially the developing brains of children, Anderson said.

According to preliminary results of the study, Chen said many of the stores marketing and selling these products are near places where youth tend to hang out — schools, parks and restaurants.

Anderson said the health department will create a map to illustrate how close the licensed business are to youth hangouts. She said the department may also try to hold a public forum on the study results.

“I think our public does need to be educated about the prevalence of tobacco marketing in today’s world,” Chen said.

GOP takes anti-government turn

EDITORIALS

Education addition A new technical training center will provide a missing link in Lawrence’s education chain.

I

t looks as if Lawrence’s long-awaited technical training campus is off and running.

According to an update last week, more than 300 students are expected to be attending classes next August at the Peaslee Technical Training Center and the school district’s College and Career Center, both located near 31st Street and Haskell Avenue.

About 200 high school students already have signed up for classes at the 33,000-square-foot College and Career Center, which is under construction. Work also is underway to convert 17,000 square feet in the former Honeywell building to accommodate what officials are calling Peaslee Tech.

Nearly 40 college-level classes will be offered at the facilities in their first semester of operation. Instructors from Johnson County Community College, Neosho County Community College and Flint Hills Technical College will teach classes in construction, allied health, emergency medical services, biotechnology, criminal justice, industrial engineering technology, welding and computer technology. Several basic academic courses also will be offered for those who need those classes to improve their overall job skills.

The combination of the school district facility and Peaslee Tech — which is funded by the city and county, the local Economic Development County and private donations — should provide some useful synergy. High school students can take many of the classes for free and some already are signed up for a construction program at Peaslee Tech. Tuition rates for adults at Peaslee Tech will average a reasonable $80 per credit hour with financial aid available.

This is a project that is long overdue in Lawrence and will benefit both individual students and the local economy.

Students who aren’t college-bound or those seeking a change in careers can receive specific training that can prepare them for well-paying jobs in a number of fields. In turn, having well-trained workers can help the community support existing businesses and attract new companies to Lawrence.

The lack of a vocational-technical training facility has long been a glaring gap in Lawrence’s educational offerings. Thanks to a lot of hard work by local organizers, the new training campus on Haskell Avenue seems poised to play an important role in building a successful future for many local students and businesses.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 10, 1915: “One of the most largely attended funerals that has ever been held in years Lawrence was that of W. H. Pendago leton yesterday afternoon at the IN 1915 Episcopal Church… A great profusion of flowers were given for the funeral by the many friends of Mr. Pendleton, who was one of the most well known men in Lawrence and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. Mr. Pendleton was one of the most progressive citizens of the city and many have been blessed by his act of kindness and charity.”

Some folks thought it was “inflammatory.” Some said it was “irresponsible,” others, “absurd,” still others, “disappointing.”

Those are some of the words affronted conservatives used in emails last month to describe my column on the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. In it, I noted how Timothy McVeigh’s act of domestic terrorism shed light on a movement of likeminded zealots motivated,

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

Much of what now passes for conservatism proceeds from extremes of government loathing that would have stunned Ronald Reagan himself.” as he was, by hatred of the federal government and rejection of its authority.

“Twenty years ago,” I wrote, “the idea of anti-government resistance seemed confined to a lunatic fringe operating in the shadows beyond the mainstream.

Twenty years later, it is the mainstream, the beating heart of the Republican Party. And while certainly no responsible figure on the right advocates or condones what he did, it is just as certain that McVeigh’s violent antipathy toward Washington, his conviction that America’s government is America’s enemy, has bound itself to the very DNA of modern conservatism.”

That’s the argument conservatives found “hateful” “sickening,” and “dishonest.”

So it is, depending upon your religious outlook, a fortuitous coincidence or superfluous evidence of God’s puckish sense of humor that a few days later comes news of conservatives accusing the federal government of trying to take over the state of Texas. It seems the four branches of the U.S. military are gearing up for Operation Jade Helm 15, an eight-week training exercise across seven states. Right-wing conspiracy theorists online and on radio are claiming the exercise is actually a pretext for a federal takeover of the Lone Star State, with — get this — abandoned WalMarts to be used for the processing of prisoners!

Nor is this being laughed off by conservatives in positions of authority. To the contrary, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered the state guard to monitor the exercise to safeguard Texan’s “civil liberties.” Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert has asked

the military to change the exercise. Senator and presidential wannabe Ted Cruz said he checked with the Pentagon and while he accepts that it has no plans to conquer Texas — how magnanimous of him — “I understand the reason for concern and uncertainty” because the Obama administration “has not demonstrated itself to be trustworthy.”

Forgive me if I don’t spend a lot of space pointing out that this is stupid, though I can’t resist asking: If the Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force were, indeed, planning to take over Texas, just what does Gov. Abbott think the state guard would be able to do about it?

There is, however, a more pressing observation to be made. After all, chances are good you’ve never heard about any of this — the story hasn’t garnered major headlines — and that, hearing of it now, you are not terribly surprised. That speaks pointedly of how inured we have become to the insane, paranoiac, anti-government

Mountain lion is lurking My wife saw a mountain lion the other day. That makes me the only person in our neighborhood who hasn’t seen one. Of course, I was skeptical at first. But my wife isn’t the type who reports seeing flying saucers, Big Foot, or the face of Jesus in a spaghetti ad. If she says she saw a mountain lion, she saw a mountain lion.

“It had a long ropey tail,” she said.

“It was tawny.”

I called my neighbor and asked him if he had a dog that would fit the description of a mountain lion. Yes, he said. He had a yellow lab. But it would have been unusual for the dog to wander far from his house. Nevertheless, I thought I’d solved the mystery.

“It was not a dog,” said my wife.

“I know what a dog looks like.” She showed me a picture of a mountain lion. The tail was thick and reached almost to the ground. She was right — it didn’t look anything like a dog. I began asking everyone I ran into if they’d seen a mountain lion. They looked astonished, as if to say, “Who hasn’t?” Of course they’d seen mountain lions. It was commonplace. The man I bought firewood from had seen one about 50 feet from his house.

“They’re all over,” he said. “But they won’t hurt anyone.” Oh, really? Tell that to the joggers who’ve been attacked by mountain lions in California.

Tell that to the man who got mauled inside his sleeping bag by one of these playful kitties or the 6-year-old who got dragged away by one while on a hike with his family.

A few years ago, another neighbor called and asked me if I wanted to see a mountain lion. I raced over to his house. He took me to the edge of his field and pointed. There was nothing there but grass.

“It was there just a minute ago,” he said. He was grinning. I suspected he was pulling my leg. One person I asked told me about a guy who shot a mountain lion and put it in the trunk of his car. It wasn’t long before he was stopped by a highway patrolman who demanded the carcass.

The guy denied he’d shot a mountain lion. The patrolman told him to

hand over the carcass or he’d be arrested and sent to jail.

“How did the highway patrolman know the guy had a mountain lion in his trunk?” I asked. The answer was that the beast had a radio tracking device implanted beneath his skin.

An Internet article blames adrenaline rush and misjudgment of distances for many mistaken mountain lion sightings. Anyone who thinks he’s seeing a mountain lion “is not a calm, collected, reliable observer.”

A 20-pound bobcat may look like a 100-pound mountain lion if you see it up close.

“A bobcat doesn’t have a long, ropelike tail,” said my wife. Moreover, the sight of a mountain lion would not have rattled this imperturbable woman.

Years ago I got into a discussion about mountain lions while waiting for my chickens to get processed in Bronson, Kan. “Hold your hands up high to make yourself look tall if you run into one,” someone said.

I’m not sure that would make the mountain lion cower. I have to believe the mountain lion is out there stalking me, waiting to strike. I figure, if my time comes, it comes.

prattle flowing like sewage from the political right. Duly elected leaders, putatively responsible people, give credence to the crazy idea that the federal government is about to attack its second most populous state and we shrug because it’s just another Tuesday in the lunatic asylum of American politics.

Look, I get it: No one wants to be compared to McVeigh. And I’ll repeat: No one in a position of responsibility embraces his prescription of terrorist violence. But it seems to me beyond argument that in the philosophical struggle for the soul of conservatism, he lost the battle and won the war. Much of what now passes for conservatism proceeds from extremes of government loathing that would have stunned Ronald Reagan himself.

Some of my readers used many colorful words to characterize that argument.

Here’s the word I’d use: Obvious.

PUBLIC FORUM

Police thanks To the editor: In October 1962, President Kennedy designated May 15 of each year as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week during which May 15 occurs as National Police Week.

“Whereas it is fitting and proper that we express our gratitude for the dedicated service and courageous deeds of law enforcement officers and for the contributions they have made to the security and well-being of all our people…”

On May 4, 1963, President Kennedy invited “State and local governments, patriotic, civic and educational organizations and the people of the United States generally, to observe Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week in this year and each succeeding year with appropriate ceremonies in which all our people may join in commemorating law enforcement officers, past and present, who by their faithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities have rendered a dedicated service to their communities, and, in doing so, have established themselves an enviable and enduring reputation for preserving the rights and security of all citizens.”

The Lawrence Police Foundation invites the residents of Lawrence and Douglas County to join us in expressing gratitude for the selfless men and women of the Lawrence Police Department, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, the KU Office of Public Safety and Kansas Highway Patrol for their service. These men and women protect us, our families, property and businesses 24/7. While we enjoy holidays, sleep, work and play they are always there for our community. To them, we say “thank you, we appreciate all you do.”

Michelle Lavery Derusseau, president Lawrence Police Foundation

city a grant to complete the plan, and two consultants, Christine Harris and Tom Borrup, have been hired to do so.

The team has hosted various focus groups and community forums to gather input from the public as part of the process. The city also will have an online survey available on its website in early June, Harris said.

Porter Arneill, the recently hired director of arts and culture, attended the meeting to hear what

residents had to say. Arneill noted the number of people present, especially for a Saturday morning.

“I’m impressed by the turnout and the passion I see in this community,” he said.

As part of the meeting, residents broke into five groups and brainstormed about the most valuable aspects of Lawrence.

Harris told residents the consultants want to identify aspects both big and small that make Lawrence unique.

“The way we approach cultural planning is arts and culture with a lowercase ‘a’ and ‘c,’” she said.

All of the groups said that community support

Existing public on-street parking on the south side of 11th Street, the east side of Mississippi Street and the west side of Indiana Street will not be available. The project is expected to last through July 2016. l Utility crews are relocating the water main at the intersection of 10th and New York streets in order to accommodate construction at New York Elementary School.

Many groups also noted the value that the character of downtown, resident engagement and the culture of education brought to the community.

Borrup said the consultants want to help preserve what people love about Lawrence, but also make improvements.

“These are all things that we want to honor, value and build upon,” he said.

Additional community forums will be hosted in late June, and the team will deliver its final plan to the city by the end of July.

For Cancer-Related Fatigue, Ginseng May Provide a Boost Taking supplemental ginseng may provide an energy boost for cancer patients who feel fatigued.

Debra L. Barton, PhD, of the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, and her colleagues studied 364 cancer patients, some of whom were still undergoing treatment.

The patients were given either four 500 mg capsules daily of Wisconsin Ginseng, a type of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) or placebos for eight weeks. The ginseng capsules contained ground up dried root, providing 3 percent ginsensosides, and both the ginseng and placebos were donated by the Ginseng Board of Wisconsin.

After eight weeks, people taking ginseng had twice the improvement in fatigue compared with those taking placebos.

WARWICK, N.Y.

On the first Mother’s Day after her husband killed their two young children and then himself, several questions faced Zoey Mendoza: How do you survive a mother’s worst nightmare?

How do you be a mother to kids you can no longer hug or kiss?

How do you endure a holiday that honors something so precious that was torn from you so suddenly?

Mother’s Day 2011 came six months after Zoey’s husband picked up their kids early at day care, drove to his childhood home and shot each in the back of Rick the head with Hampson his grandfaUSA TODAY ther’s rifle.

In those days, Zoey could not sit still or stop crying. She could neither work nor eat. A friend followed her around the house, spoonfeeding her broth. Each night she and her mother slept in the same bed, the daughter afraid to be alone, the mother afraid to leave the daughter alone.

Today, Zoey Mendoza Zimmerman will observe Mother’s Day at

Her epiphany: The bond between mother and child doesn’t have to be severed by death.

She proclaims this online almost every day, inspiring some of the millions of American women for whom the second Sunday in May is not about cards, flowers or breakfast in bed, but absence.

Mothers whose children have been killed by police officers marched in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to call attention to police brutality and racial injustice.

The Million Moms March was sponsored by Mothers for Justice United, an organization of mothers whose children have been killed by police officers and others, and the Coalition for Justice.

The march moved from the U.S. Capitol to the Department of Justice, where demonstrators demanded changes in police practices.

Maria Hamilton founded Mothers for Justice United and helped organize the march of mothers and their supporters.

Hamilton’s 31-year-old son, Dontre, was shot 14 times and killed by a former Milwaukee police officer.

“This is a call for everybody to wake up,” Hamilton said. “We aren’t going to continue to keep burying our babies.”

As demonstrators moved through the streets Saturday, some in the crowd shouted, “No justice. No compromise,” and “Black lives matter.”

Many protesters held photos of young men and women killed by law enforcement officers. Others clutched bright yellow balloons, flowers and held hands.

Ky. hospitals suffocating under Obamacare Facilities facing layoffs — and even shutdowns Laura Ungar USA TODAY

LEXINGTON, KY. While Kentucky has gained national prominence as the only Southern state to fully embrace Obamacare, its hospitals say the law

has left them facing billions of dollars in cuts and forced them to lay off staff, shut down services and worry for their financial health and, in some cases, survival.

The Kentucky Hospital Association outlined its concerns in a report released Friday called

“Code Blue,” saying payment cuts to hospitals are expected to reach nearly $7 billion through 2024. “Kentucky hospitals will lose more money under the Affordable Care Act than they gain in revenue from expanded coverage,” it said, experiencing a net loss of $1 billion by 2020.

“This report provides the real picture of what our hospitals are

facing,” KHA President Mike Rust said during a news conference.

Hospitals are suffering a net loss, officials said, partly because about three-quarters of newly insured Kentuckians signed up for Medicaid, which reimburses hospitals less than it costs to v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

North Korea trumpets test of submarine ballistic missile Calls demonstration ‘eye-opening success’ Doug Stanglin USA TODAY

Under the watchful eyes of leader Kim Jong Un, North Korea says it has conducted underwater test-firing of a submarine ballistic missile, the Korean Central News Agency reported Saturday.

The test “proved and confirmed that the ballistic missile fire from the submarine fully met the requirements of the latest

military science and technology,” KCNA said.

North Korea’s state-run Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos of a projectile rising from the surface and Kim smiling from a distance at what looked like a floating submarine.

Kim called the missile a “world-level strategic weapon” and an “eye-opening success,” according to KCNA. Kim declared that his military now has a weapon capable of “striking and wiping out in any waters the hostile forces infringing upon the sovereignty and dignity of (North Korea).”

The news agency report said

An image released by North Korea’s staterun newspaper shows what Pyongyang says was a ballistic missile launched from a submarine Friday.

RODONG SINMUN, EPA

the missile “soared into the sky from underwater.”

The test apparently took place Friday near Sinpo South Shipyard on the east coast, the Korea Times reported.

Experts in Seoul said the North’s demonstrations and rhetoric were aimed at wresting concessions from the USA and South Korea, whose officials have recently discussed holding preliminary talks with the North to test its commitment to denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, the Associated Press reported.

The last public U.S. attempt to foster the six-party process — involving China, Japan, Russia,

South Korea, North Korea and the USA — collapsed in 2012 after the North launched a long-range rocket, the Korea Herald noted.

Pyongyang conducted its third nuclear test in February 2013, and has test-fired numerous shorter-range missile since.

In January, the USA again proposed meeting with North Korea, but the bid failed to get traction, according to the Associated Press.

This week, South Korean envoy Hwang Joon-kook, after meeting with his U.S. and Chinese counterparts, said that all five parties were again ready to test North Korea’s intentions on talks, the newspaper reported.

v CONTINUED FROM 1B

Almost daily, Zoey has posted on Facebook these images and her own memories of her children. She is shamelessly proud and endlessly fascinated by their antics, outfits and expressions.

She refers to them in the present tense, with the result that some new readers don’t realize the children are dead.

Hundreds of friends and followers post their appreciation of a mother who, no longer able to bathe her children or wipe their runny noses, tends now to their memory.

And, she says, the children tend to her: “I feel their strength and love all the time, but especially when I am feeling overwhelming sadness. I can literally feel the weight of their arms around my shoulders.”

For such women, “Mother’s Day is an acute reminder of what should be, yet what isn’t. There’s always a missing piece of the family,” says Joanne Cacciatore, an Arizona State University expert on traumatic grief.

Worse, Mother’s Day often brings pressure on the bereaved to “heal and move on,” she says.

“Other people want us to be who we were before. It’s painful for them to witness our pain.”

For Zoey, the day is a milepost.

“Every Mother’s Day I’ve been in a new place,” she says. “I miss the ability to create new holiday memories with my kids, but I’ll always nurture our relationship. … Do I still feel like a mom? I do.”

‘I feel their strength and love all the time’

INSPIRATION

DISASTER

On the last Mother’s Day before her world exploded, Zoey Mendoza got a gift that, frankly, disappointed her. Her husband, Kurtis Birth, gave her a photo of the children in a simple plastic frame — the sort of thing, she recalls, “he might have given me any day of the week.”

Kurtis was a black guy from suburban North Jersey. Zoey was a white girl who was born on a commune and grew up in Ashland, Ore. They met the summer she came east to work as a nanny and married in 2002. He was in sales at a cable provider; she was a school social worker.

But by 2010, Kurtis’ mood swings had become too much for Zoey. She told him in April she wanted a divorce. He resisted, apologized, promised to change.

In August, he made what his psychiatrist diagnosed as a “suicidal gesture” — a half-hearted attempt — by cutting his wrist with a knife. Afterward, he promised to undergo therapy and take medication for depression and anxiety.

“Mommy’s not going to die,” Zoey replied. “Mommy is going to grow to be old.”

Zoey always picked up the kids at the end of the school day, and, since the suicide attempt, she hadn’t left the kids alone with Kurtis for extended periods. But early that afternoon, he texted her to say he would get the kids himself.

Concerned, she called the day care center but was told Kurtis had left with the kids. She called and texted him, demanding that

“There is no template for this kind of loss. There’s no book that helps you understand.”

Zoey Mendoza Zimmerman

Although Zoey still wanted out of the marriage, they continued to live together with Jada and Jordan in their townhouse in Pompton Lakes, N.J. Kurtis, Zoey says, was never violent or aggressive. But on Oct. 17, 2010, while cleaning a downstairs closet, she found a rifle. Kurtis said it was an old BB gun he had come across at his parents’ place.

She insisted he remove it from the house. He put it in the trunk of his car.

The next morning, Zoey drove the kids to day care. When she got home, she posted on Facebook: “Jada said to me, ‘Mommy, I love you as pretty as a magnolia.

By the way, what’s a magnolia?’

Lol...”

The mother did not post another conversation that took place on the ride. Jada had asked her, “Why are all the leaves fall-

he bring them home immediately.

When she got no answer, she called the police.

She suggested they look at the house on a wooded hilltop in Ringwood, N.J., where Kurtis grew up, and which had been empty since his father’s death.

Police found Jada’s body on the front porch and Jordan’s inside the front door. He seemed to have been playing with his action figures. Kurtis’ body was in his car next to the rifle — in fact, a .22.

Zoey’s shock and sorrow was compounded by guilt. Why had she, a mental health professional, not seen what was coming — not realized Kurtis was neither attending therapy sessions nor taking his medication? Had she brought this on by allowing Kurtis to stay in their home? Should she have told the day care center about his suicide attempt?

It was hard for her even to think about what she had lost, let alone make sense of it or share it with the world.

DESPAIR

One night, less than a month after the murders, Zoey was in bed.

Her mother was asleep, and she herself was chanting, “I miss you/I love you.” Earlier, she had read a book about how children don’t really die, but live in the hereafter — what she called heaven.

Suddenly, she says, she heard her children giggling.

She sat up. The room was filled with a bright light, as if the sun were out, and she saw a white staircase. Jada and Jordan were standing at the top, smiling at her.

Then they came down the stairs, and they all hugged. She said, “You’re here!” but they said nothing.

From the first hours after the murders, she says, she had felt a need to look for her children — “I knew they weren’t really gone.”

Her vision confirmed that, she says; now “I had to figure not only how to reach them, but also how to feel them reach out to me.”

She spent hours in her bedroom and other warm, quiet places, talking to and listening for Jada and Jordan. When she dreamed of them, she would wake and thank them for staying close.

Zoey tried to be open to signs of their presence. It might be Jordan’s name on the side of a school bus or the sight of a magnolia — the tree, or something else by that name, like a bakery. “The more I affirm them,” she believed, more they present “the themselves.”

When the TV in her bedroom recently switched on inexplicably, she chalked it up to the kids

Zoey keeps a box of memories of Jada and Jordan. She says the joy of mothering her children has outweighed the pain of losing them. “messing with us.” When a name tag on a pickup grocery order was inadvertently left in her shopping bag, she noticed the stocking clerk’s initials were “JJ,” as in Jada and Jordan.

On Mother’s Day 2013, a little girl who reminded Zoey of Jada, even though she was white, blond-haired and blue-eyed, came up while Zoey was waiting in line at Starbucks and suddenly spanked her on the butt — Jada’s way, Zoey’s reported happily on Facebook, of wishing her a happy Mother’s Day. But experiencing her children wasn’t enough. Zoey also needed to share them with the world, if only to show that Jada and Jordan’s happy lives meant more than their horrible deaths and that the joy of mothering them outweighed the pain of losing them.

Kurtis, ironically, proved crucial to Zoey’s project.

An avid photographer, he left an archive of about 13,000 photos and hundreds of videos — links to the children he took away from her.

Ky. hospitals lay off staff, reduce services v CONTINUED FROM 1B

treat patients. Nationally, the Congressional Budget Office projected half of newly insured patients would have private insurance.

State health officials, and Gov. Steve Beshear, have touted the benefits of Obamacare — officially the Affordable Care Act. More than half a million Kentuckians got coverage through the state’s insurance exchange, called kynect. A February report prepared for the state said Kentucky hospitals had received $506 million more in Medicaid reimbursement since January 2014 because of the Medicaid expansion.

Beshear said in a statement Friday that the new Medicaid payments have blunted the impact of other financial pressures on hospitals. “Rather than trying to turn back the clock and return to old business practices, we are working directly with providers to help them develop new strategies for better, more efficient, quality health care delivery,” the governor said.

Hospital officials say they’re glad so many Kentuckians have gotten coverage through Obamacare. A Gallup Poll shows the number of uninsured Kentuckians dropped from 20.4% in 2013 to 11.9% by mid-2014. But the

KHA report says: “While Kentuckians should be proud of this achievement, it is also important to understand another part of the story: The government’s success in expanding health coverage has come at a significant cost to Kentucky hospitals.”

MORE FINANCIAL STRESS

Hospital officials acknowledged that some of the issues, such as low reimbursements from government insurance, predated health reform but have become worse since it went into effect.

“There’s no question it’s been accelerated under the ACA,” said Dennis Johnson, president and CEO of Hardin Memorial Health in Elizabethtown, Ky. The KHA report says Obamacare cuts Medicaid and Medicare payments to hospitals by $4.6 billion from 2010 to 2024 to help pay for expanded coverage. Medicaid now pays 82% of the actual cost of treating patients; Medicare pays 86%.

Obamacare also calls for reducing Medicare payments to hospitals that readmit patients within 30 days at higher-thanexpected rates and those with increases in their rates of hospitalacquired conditions. And the law brings substantial cuts in “disproportionate share hospital” payments for uncompensated

care. At $4.6 billion, these comprise the largest share of total federal payment cuts through 2024 of $6.98 billion to Kentucky hospitals.

The changing way patients get coverage also hurts hospitals, the report says. About one in five hospital patients who recently signed up for Medicaid previously had private health insurance, which reimbursed at higher rates, officials said.

Altogether, the report says, rising bad debt and low government reimbursements counter any gains from increased coverage. Even though hospitals are getting $506 million more in Medicaid payments, officials said, it costs $617 million to provide care to those patients.

“The government’s success in expanding health coverage has come at a significant cost to Kentucky hospitals.”

Kentucky Hospital Association report

RESPONDING TO PRESSURES

Complicating matters, the report says hospitals continue to face problems with Medicaid managed care organizations, or MCOs, such as slow payments,

reduced reimbursements and denials of services.

Mark Carter, CEO of the Louisville-based MCO Passport Health Plan, said state contracts drive what they pay to providers.

He acknowledged payments from MCOs used to be slower, but said they’ve improved in recent years.

Amid all of these pressures, hospitals are making significant cuts.

More than 65% of 109 hospitals responding to a September KHA survey reported they reduced staff, cutting more than 7,700 positions through layoffs, attrition and abolished positions.

More than four in 10 hospitals reported service reductions.

Worse yet, two Kentucky hospitals have recently reported they’ve had to close their doors for good.

The hospital group proposes solutions, such as standardizing policies and procedures across the MCOs and allowing health care providers to appeal denials that result in no payments.

Beshear said he plans to continue working with hospitals.

“We’re proud of the progress Kentucky is making in health care,” he said, “and will continue to support our medical providers as they navigate the changing health landscape.”

Last Sunday, Zoey faced an audience of several hundred crime victims and their relatives at a ceremony in Paterson, N.J. Photos of those lost to violence were on stage behind her. Jada and Jordan were in the middle.

“I have never spoken in front of an audience like this,” she said.

“It’s nerve-racking.”

This year, Zoey has moved beyond Facebook to talk about her experiences, including interviews with journalists.

It’s daunting, in part because she still feels vulnerable to skepticism about how she relates to the kids and to criticism of her failure to leave Kurtis.

The Paterson audience was no stranger to violence or loss, but there was a collective gasp when Zoey revealed hers. “There is no template for this kind of loss,” she said. “There’s no book that helps you understand.”

Those on Facebook understand. They range from mothers of stillborns to a woman whose two children were suffocated while asleep in bed by a 100pound python that escaped from an exotic pet store.

Linda Sanchez, a San Francisco mother who lost her 19-year-old son to an adverse prescription drug reaction, calls Zoey “a beacon of hope to the bereaved.”

She tries to help the newly bereaved who reach out. Zoey’s friend, Angela DeLeon, recalls her taking such a call while they were hiking on a mountain in Oregon.

She shares what worked for her — inspirational books, intensive therapy, a new relationship with God, a session with a medium.

Above all, she says, try to experience the loss rather than numb yourself to it.

These days she works as a social worker at a public high school in Paterson. There are still ups and downs, she says, in “this tornado that I call life.”

DeLeon describes her as “delicate” and “the strongest person I know.”

On Mother’s Day, she and husband Curt Zimmerman plan to work in the yard, where they’ve planted magnolia trees, butterfly bushes and an ironwood in memory of the children.

Two benches bear the names Jada and Jordan.

“I hope each Mother’s Day for a kind of renewal,” she says. “But it’s sad for me. It always will be.”

Tea Party has eye on White House GOP candidates for president echo movement’s goals Martha T. Moore USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton challenged her GOP rivals by pledging to expand President Obama’s executive actions that would protect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation.

In her first extensive comments on immigration as a presidential candidate, Clinton also embraced a “path to full and equal citizenship” for the undocumented immigrants already in the USA. More headlines: WASHINGTON

FIORINA DEFENDS HP TENURE GOP presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina defended her record as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, saying layoffs at the tech giant were necessary to strengthen the company.

“When you managed through a technology recession, every NOAM GALAI, GETTY technology IMAGES FOR company — TECHCRUNCH Carly Fiorina every one — laid people off.

It’s a terrible decision to make,” Fiorina told Katie Couric of Yahoo News. She contends “we transformed a company from failing to succeeding.” Fiorina was responding to carlyfiorina.org, which says she laid off 30,000 people in her nearly six-year tenure. Fiorina was forced to resign in 2005 as HP’s stock price plummeted. She blames her ouster on a “boardroom brawl” in which board members were leaking confidential information.

DEMOCRATIC HOPEFULS WILL DEBATE SIX TIMES Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders are on board with the Democratic National Committee’s plan to host six presidential primary debates, starting this fall.

The national party is sanctioning one debate each in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, plus two more at a location to be determined. “Our debate schedule will not only give Democratic voters multiple opportunities to size up the candidates for the nomination side-by-side but will give all Americans a chance to see a unified Democratic vision of economic opportunity and progress — no matter whom our nominee may be,” said DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The Democratic debates could also include former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, ex-Virginia senator Jim Webb and former Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee.

The Tea Party movement, a product of opposition to President Obama, is set to be a major force in choosing the president who succeeds him.

Though less organized and visible than in their earlier days, Tea Party-leaning Republicans now see a nominating process full of presidential hopefuls they helped boost to prominence.

“I think the Tea Party is going to decide who the next president of the United States is,” says Taylor Budowich, executive director of the Tea Party Express.

The Republican candidates echo the rhetoric and priorities of the once-fringe faction. But winning the presidency poses challenges: A movement that defined itself as what it opposed must now agree on policy proposals.

And to capture the White House, a Tea Party-backed GOP nominee would have to appeal to more than just conservative primary voters.

Many of the candidates owe their present jobs to Tea Party enthusiasm, including Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, who were

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, shown in January, is among several Tea Party favorites running for president. elected to the Senate in 2010, and Ted Cruz, elected in 2012. Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon who declared Monday, is also a Tea Party favorite.

Conservative activists started holding “Tea Party” protests in 2009 to vent outrage over federal stimulus spending, the Wall Street bailout and rising national debt. The movement culminated in the 2010 elections, when the GOP captured the House.

In the years since, the Tea Party has become as internalized to the larger Republican Party as the antiwar movement was to the Democratic Party in the 1970s, says Michael Barone, a fellow at

the conservative-leaning American Enterprise Institute.

The ideological trajectory of the GOP in recent years, says Lara Brown, director of the George Washington University political management program, is driven by the Tea Party message.

“When people say, ‘The Republicans have become so conservative,’ that’s really what they’re talking about,” she said.

But does the Tea Party still pack the same electoral punch it did in 2010? Tea Party groups still have strong fundraising and an Internet presence, and if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, they will undoubtedly co-

alesce in opposition to her, according to Matt Barreto, a UCLA political scientist and coauthor of Change They Can’t Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America.

“Are their rallies smaller now?

Yes. But they will continue to be opposed to the type of policies she proposes and the type of change she represents,” he said.

The group’s influence over the primaries is not without risk, though. In 2012, GOP nominee Mitt Romney had to work so hard to establish his conservative bona fides with Tea Party-leaning voters that Democrats portrayed him as too conservative for the general electorate, Barreto says.

While the likely GOP presidential field has an unmistakable Tea Party stamp, there is one notable exception among the top tier of contenders: Jeb Bush, who left the Florida governor’s office in 2007.

But even if Jeb Bush ends up with the nomination, the Tea Party has succeeded in moving the party to the right, Budowich says.

In his two terms as Florida governor, Bush “was probably one of the most conservative governors in modern history,” Budowich says. “If that’s our establishment guy then ... we’ve done pretty well.”

GOP hopefuls make case Fighting terror, upholding religious freedom emphasized by candidates David Jackson USA TODAY

GREENVILLE , S . C. Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and other Republican presidential aspirants hit conservative hot buttons at a candidates’ forum Saturday, emphasizing religious freedom and counterterrorism.

Walker said President Obama’s proposed nuclear deal with Iran and other foreign policies are emboldening terrorists and “radical Islamic” fighters.

“I want a leader that is willing to take the fight to them before they take the fight to us,” the Wisconsin governor said at the forum sponsored by the conservative organization Citizens United.

Other presidential aspirants — Sens. Rubio of Florida and Cruz of Texas — also raised the terrorism issue.

“Radical Islamists behead Christians and even conduct attacks in Texas,” Rubio said.

Cruz said the United States cannot “win a war on radical Islamic terrorism with a president who is unwilling to utter the words ‘radical Islamic terrorism.’ ” All of the candidates accused the federal government of overregulating the economy and infringing on personal freedoms, particularly involving religion.

governor Jeb Bush criticized Obama’s social policies while making the commencement address at a religious school, Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. One target: The Obama administration’s effort to require health insurance coverage for contraceptives, which is being challenged in court by religious groups.

Noting that the Little Sisters of the Poor is among those plaintiffs, Bush said: “From the standpoint of religious freedom, you might even say it’s a choice between the Little Sisters and Big Brother — and I’m going with the Sisters.”

Other Republicans echoed Bush’s attacks during the all-day candidates’ forum.

“Our fundamental liberties are under assault today,” said Rick Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who is expected to announce he’s running this month.

Rick Perry, a former Texas governor, echoed GOP complaints over excessive government by saying, “I do not believe we need more Washington in our lives — we need less.”

They and the other candidates attacked both Obama and Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, saying the latter would continue the policies of the former.

Republican candidates vowed to change Obama’s health care law, improve frayed relations with Israel, and beef up the U.S. military. They generally vowed to try to create jobs and stimulate

economic growth via tax cuts and less regulation of businesses.

Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, who has not yet decided whether to run, said Obama is encouraging dependence on the government and “trying to turn the American Dream into the European nightmare.”

While Walker, Bush and others have yet to formally declare their intentions, the crowd in South Carolina heard from four announced candidates: Cruz, Rubio, businesswoman Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben

Businessman and television personality Donald Trump, who is flirting with a presidential campaign, also attended the event. He denounced what he called professional politicians, saying they are “all talk — no action.”

ANA TARGETS CAROLINAS IN RARE EARLY STORM ARRIVAL

Tropical Storm Ana, arriving three weeks before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, is pushing toward the Carolinas and could make landfall early today, bringing high winds and flooding, the National Hurricane Center said Saturday.

Ana was moving toward the U.S. mainland at 5 mph, with a final turn expected to put the center on track for landfall near the South Carolina-North Carolina border.

With tropical-storm-force winds stretching 125 miles from the center, Ana (pronounced AHN-nah) was packing 60-mph winds with gusts ranging higher.

The National Hurricane Center said the first tropical storm conditions were likely to rake an area from South Santee River in South Carolina to Cape Lookout, N.C., by Saturday evening.

The storm surge and tide are expected to push water as much as 2 feet above normal high tide

South Carolina through Monday.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. The hurricane center said Ana is the earliest subtropical (or tropical) storm to form in the Atlantic basin since Ana of 2003.

Water-level markers stand on what used to be the bottom of Hensley Lake on April 23 in Raymond as California enters another year of severe drought.

Israel’s guide to water Drought-stricken country reaches out to California

Lebanon

Michele Chabin

Special for USA TODAY

As Californians struggle with an everworsening water shortage caused by a historic drought, they might look east for a solution — to the Middle East.

Israel, subject to intermittent droughts for decades, has pioneered a number of water-saving techniques. It long ago figured out how to grow crops in the desert and for decades has advised the developing world on how to manage scarce water resources.

Now, Israel is eager to share its latest know-how with droughtridden states like California.

These helpful techniques include water quotas, desalination plants and the reuse of household wastewater.

Six years ago, when Israel was in the grips of its own dire drought, the government actually considered shipping in water from Turkey — more than 1,000 nautical miles away. Instead, the country embarked on a coordinated effort of recycling used water, desalination and education.

“Israel no longer has a water shortage,” said Uri Shani, a Hebrew University professor and former director of the Israel Water Authority.

Israel and California have cooperated on water issues for years, but mostly “on a grass-roots level,” said Yoram Cohen, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at UCLA-Los Angeles.

“Now it’s time to collaborate on commercial water technology projects that can benefit both countries.”

An Israeli company, IDE Technologies, is designing a desalination plant in Carlsbad, Calif., 35 miles north of San Diego, that would provide 300,000 Californians with 50 million gallons per day of drinking-quality water. Desalination plants remove salt and chemicals from seawater.

But to truly save water, Israel “first had to convince people that water is a commodity and not unlimited,” Shani explained.

WATER QUOTAS

Under his watch, the Israel Water Authority set an affordable water quota for every individual and farmer, and taxed excess use at a much higher rate. The amount of water allocated to farmers was cut in half, forcing them to grow less thirsty crops and adopt water-saving technology.

Municipalities were ordered to fix their pipes. Today, less than 8% of urban water in Israel is lost through leakage.

Desalination plant construction along Israel’s Mediterranean coast was stepped up. About 40% of Israel’s drinking water comes from desalination, and that could rise to 70% by 2050.

In addition, Israel purifies 85% of all household wastewater. “The

Amir Mazor, regional forest director for the Jewish National Fund-KKL, believes droughtridden U.S. states could benefit from Israel's water conservation methods.

water is at the level where, if someone accidentally drinks it, it’s OK,” Shani said. He said the recycled wastewater is utilized by farmers, mostly for drip irrigation — a pinpoint delivery system invented in Israel in the 1960s.

“At first the farmers were afraid to use recycled wastewater. It took time to convince them,” said Joseph Schreiber, director of the engineering and development division of the Jewish National Fund-KKL, which has planted nearly 250 million trees since the early 1900s and built 180 reservoirs and dams.

At the Yatir Forest, a man-made greenbelt on the edge of the Negev Desert in southern Israel, foresters have developed ways to keep millions of pine trees alive on less than 4 inches of rain a year.

The forest’s fruit trees, cared for by local farmers, require irrigation to survive.

Now that the drought that began in 2009 has eased, the forest’s annual rainfall is 9-10 inches, close to Sacramento’s annual rainfall of 10.3 inches, according to the California Department of Water Resources.

A few years ago the forest received just 2.75 inches of rain.

Runoff channels sculpted into the soil gave the tree roots another inch-and-a-half of water.

That coupled with a system that allows roots to breathe and cuts away water-hungry undergrowth was enough for them to survive, said Amir Mazor, regional forest

director for the national fund, while kneeling by a towering pine tree.

During the worst droughts, foresters soaked the trees once a year with 26 gallons of water sprayed from trucks, Mazor said.

MODEL HARD TO DUPLICATE

UCLA’s Cohen said Israel’s model, as good as it is, cannot be duplicated in the Golden State.

Israel is only about the size of New Jersey, “a fraction of the size of California,” he said.

So it’s relatively simple for Israel to pipe recycled and desalinated water to any point in the country.

That won’t work in California, given the distances and terrain, Cohen said.

And Israel’s water policy and pricing are set for the whole country.

“In California, water prices vary from location to location and district to district. Last I heard, Los Angeles had over 100 different water suppliers,” he added.

Unlike Israel, where permits for desalination plants have been accelerated, California has a long process because of environmental concerns. “You can’t just build a plant,” Cohen said.

What California can learn from Israel is how to optimize the water that is available by steering away from crops that use the most water, Cohen said. The state can also try to greatly reduce water use in the urban areas.

But California’s urban water consumption accounts for just 10% of the state’s water use, while agriculture accounts for 80%, Cohen pointed out.

“If people cut their water use in half, that’s only 5% of our total water supply,” he said. “What we need is a comprehensive strategy to use water.”

Many dodge serving in Ukrainian army Much of nation detached from fight with rebels Olga Rudenko

Special for USA TODAY KIEV, UKRAINE

Kostyantyn Kovba never answers calls from unknown numbers on his mobile phone. The 23-year-old is afraid a military commissioner might summon him to serve in Ukraine’s army to fight pro-Russian separatists in the east.

When he visits his mother’s house, they shutter the windows, in case a commissioner drops by.

“We never even barbecue in the yard, because they may see and come over,” he said.

Kovba is one of 39,000 Ukrainians who have dodged military service in the first two months of 2015, according to the latest government figures. That’s nearly 16% of the numbers of soldiers in the Ukrainian army.

“Serving in the army is a waste of time,” said Kovba, who’s building his mobile phone accessories business. “I could spend that time learning something new.”

Draft dodgers underscore the government’s difficulty in mobilizing young men to help keep the country united in the face of a potent rebel force better equipped, thanks to Russian weaponry.

One reason is that many civilians feel distanced from the fighting that has consumed two of Ukraine’s eastern provinces bordering Russia.

A recent poll by the Kiev-based Razumkov Center found that 41% of Ukrainians said the war didn’t affect them even though the insurgents want to cleave off a sizable chunk of the country that is rich in coal and dotted by steel foundries. Their relatives and

Ukrainian army recruits hold their hands over their hearts as the national anthem plays. friends don’t serve in the military, they don’t live near the fighting, and they don’t donate funds to support the troops or Ukrainians displaced by the violence.

Since independence in 1991, Ukraine has been divided between citizens who view themselves as European, dominant in the west and center of the country, and pro-Russian, dominant in the east. As a result, some may be reluctant to fight to retain regions close to Russia, said Vitaly Chernetsky, an Odessa native and University of Kansas professor who is president of the American Association of Ukrainian Studies.

Last year, protesters in Kiev, the capital, forced the ouster of Russian-aligned President Viktor Yanukovych after he used deadly force against demonstrations over his refusal to sign an eco-

nomic agreement with the European Union. Yanukovych fled to Moscow and was replaced by proEuropean President Petro Poroshenko. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine and fostered rebellion in eastern provinces.

Poroshenko increased the size of the Ukrainian army from 180,000 to 250,000 troops. His government has not released draft numbers for March and April but says recruiters have reached their quota to bring the army up to full strength.

Since the conflict broke out, more than 6,000 fighters and civilians have died, including more than 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers. In February, the two sides reached a cease-fire agreement, but sporadic fighting continues.

Chernetsky said military recruitment problems stem from

“Most of the army was used as a source for some career senior people ... to get wealthy.”

army mismanagement. “The problems of corruption and inefficiency are huge,” he said. “The institution was crumbling. Most of the army was used as a source for some career senior people in the military to get wealthy.”

Kovba admitted he had mixed feelings about shirking the military. “I feel ashamed when I think of the guys who are serving, but then maybe I will be more useful

for my country here,” he said.

“Someone has to build a decent country for the returning soldiers.”

Yuriy Biriukov, a military adviser to Poroshenko, criticized men like Kovba. “He shouts, ‘Glory to Ukraine’ and tells everyone how patriotic he is,” Biriukov wrote of a fictional draft dodger in a Facebook post. “But he is also a cowardly brute. He hides from the military commission, changes his phone number, packs his stuff and goes to Romania, Hungary or Poland. And sits there, proud of how smart he is.”

Kovba and others avoiding military service cite reasons other than cowardice: too little compensation to families of soldiers who are killed and so little equipment compared with the rebels that citizens must hold fundraisers to provide basic items.

Dodging conscription is a crime, though most found guilty are given probationary sentences.

Kovba avoided punishment because his mother told authorities he left Ukraine to work abroad.

Under Ukrainian law, he’s dodging the draft only if officials personally serve him a subpoena to report for duty.

Oles Shevchenko, 23, a student from Kiev, expects to be called up soon because a military commissioner called his parents to warn of an upcoming military subpoena. Raised in a patriotic family, Shevchenko said he feels a duty to protect his land. “ ‘If not me, then who?’ ” he said. “But at the same time, I’m very scared to die now, before I’ve accomplished anything in life.”

Shevchenko hopes he won’t need to choose between joining the army or facing shame for avoiding service. “If only this war ended,” he said. “I wouldn’t even have to make this choice.”

Longtime champs taking a beating as investors pay more attention to the valuations they’re paying

Glu Mobile is publisher of a variety of mobile games, most recognizably “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.”

USA TODAY

Some longtime winning stocks are getting banged up badly this year. It’s a tough lesson for investors as the market punishes overvalued stocks.

The market this year delivered vicious blows to 10 formerly winning stocks, including memory chip maker SanDisk, single-coffee cup brewer Keurig Green Mountain and Delta Air Lines, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. These stocks all jumped 30% or more in both 2013 and 2014 — and last week at their lows were down 10% or more this year.

These brutal hits are a visible sign of a change going on inside the market. Investors are suddenly paying much more attention to the valuations they’re paying for stocks — especially the ones that have risen over the past few years. Perhaps these secondthoughts about individual stocks’ prices are a result of investors doing soul-searching as earnings

growth cools. More likely, greater scrutiny to valuation is due to the fact that while stocks aren’t expensive, they aren’t as cheap as they were.

But whatever the reason, the wealth destruction is painful to those not paying attention to sudden smackdowns.

SanDisk is perhaps the best example. Shares of the company, which makes memory for digital gadgets, had been a superstar stock for investors. The stock jumped 62% in 2013 and 39% in 2014 — easily beating the market’s 29.6% and 11.4% gains in those years. But this year has been nothing short of a debacle — with shares down 32% for the year at last week’s low. When your adjusted profit falls 57% in the first quarter — even worse than expected — it’s safe to expect investors will bring the valuation down. The severe correction in the stock has brought the trailing P-E to 20, which is roughly in line with the market.

Some of the stocks taking knocks to the heads can’t blame the company’s current performance, but bigger, macro effects that are expected to hurt in the future. Delta is a great example of this. The company delivered 37% first-quarter adjusted profit of 45 cents a share. That was even 2% better than analysts were expecting. But investors are girding for the odds of rising oil prices — which could snuff out this golden period for airline profits. The airline’s shares were down 12.9% for the year at last week’s low, after soaring 131% and 79% in 2013 and 2014, respectively.

Pizza Hut gives delivery tracking a whirl Bruce Horovitz USA TODAY

The delivery driver is suddenly becoming more closely watched than Kim Kardashian.

Fast-food delivery drivers will become even more closely watched next month when Pizza Hut rolls out a delivery test at 75 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area dubbed Pizza Hut Nav (short for navigation), where most consumers will be able to track their delivery drivers — and their pizzas — on a map from the time of order until the driver shows up on their street.

For Pizza Hut, it’s about trying to catch up with — and possibly inch past — archrival Domino’s, which has been widely viewed as ahead of the curve on delivery. For the fast-food industry, with consumers — particularly Millennials — demanding convenience, transparency and instant information, a new era of delivery appears to be on tap.

But the burgeoning industry of using mobile apps or other devices to monitor the delivery

process is much bigger than fast food — and, experts say, could ultimately become second nature to just about any product that gets ordered and delivered, from Amazon items to Zappos shoes.

“Millennials and Gen Z are so completely comfortable with the instant info-sharing of text, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat that it is inconceivable to

them that delivery info is not built in to any system they use,” says Christopher Muller, professor of hospitality at Boston University.

Executives at Pizza Hut concede Uber is changing everything.

“They’ve not just disrupted the transportation industry — they’ve disrupted commerce,” says Baron Concors, global chief

digital officer at Pizza Hut. “This is what consumers want: 100% transparency about where their order is.”

The announcement by Pizza Hut comes just one day after McDonald’s announced that it, too, is about to launch a delivery test at 88 McDonald’s restaurants in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. The delivery test is with Postmates, the same thirdparty delivery service that Starbucks recently said it also will use in a Seattle delivery test later this year.

The move also follows a similar announcement earlier this week by Domino’s that it was launching something called GPS Driver Tracker in Australia — designed to encourage safer delivery driving and to give consumers a window on delivery “from the store to your door,” as the company’s commercial says.

For Pizza Hut, transparent delivery on a national basis should come sooner than later.

It’s already tested the Uber-like delivery in parts of Russia and Israel. After the three-month test in Dallas, executives hope to quickly go national with it, but they aren’t saying just when.

Her remains were found five weeks later in Albemarle County, Va., and a 34-year-old man has been charged with her death. According to Matt Charles, the UVA deputy spokesman, the award aims to help other students pursue passions similar to Graham’s. The award — a year-long academic endeavor — will give students with interests like Graham’s the unique opportunity to do hands-on public health work and will be accompanied by a cash prize, initially set at $10,000.

BREWING FOR CREDITS For some students in Philadelphia, settling in with a cold one might not have to wait until classes are over. In fact, it might be happening in their classes. Set to launch this August, The University of the Sciences is now accepting applications for its new Brewing Science Certificate program. The craft-brew-oriented, 18-credit post-graduate program is designed for working professionals. “Breweries have concerns with those who are ill-equipped,” says Matthew Farber, teaching postdoctoral fellow in the department of biology. “Better-trained students, who have been personally interacting with breweries, makes sure everyone knows what our programming is about. We’re really trying to bridge industry and education in the area.”

DON’T BE SHY TO NEGOTIATE A note to recent graduates: Your job search isn’t over once you’re hired. A study by NerdWallet and Looksharp underscores how uncommon — but integral — negotiation is for an employee’s first job. Only 38% of entry-level employees negotiated their first salary, the study found, and most of them are in sales, marketing and engineering. While some respondents reported being too “anxious” to negotiate a salary, many believe that it will make them appear arrogant to employers. In reality, the opposite is true: 76% of hiring managers said entry-level employees negotiating a salary made them appear more confident. Only 6% said they were never willing to negotiate a salary with an entry-level employee.

BEST. SPEECH. EVER? College graduation ceremonies are in full-swing across the country, meaning there is now only one thing standing between graduates and their hard-earned diplomas — the graduation speaker. The hope is that a commencement address will inspire, but they sometimes leave you snoozing in your seat. In a nationwide survey sent to 60,000 students by marketing agency Fluent, college kids picked their dream choices for commencement speakers. The not-so-surprising results included Ellen DeGeneres, President Obama and Bill Gates.

When asked what fictional figures graduates would want, the list included Iron Man, Harry Potter and Yoda. Want to see the rest of the results? Head over to college.usatoday .com Compiled by Kristin Rein. To read more, visit college .usatoday.com

SPARKS , NEV.

P

aramedic Ryan Ramsdell pulled up to a single-story house not far from Reno’s towering hotels and casinos in a Ford Explorer.

No ambulance, no flashing lights. He wasn’t there to rush 68year-old Earl Mayes to the emergency room. His job was to keep Mayes out of the ER. Mayes, who has congestive heart failure and chronic lung disease, greeted Ramsdell and told him that his heart was fluttering more than usual.

“Let’s take a look at it,” the paramedic responded, carrying a big red bag with medical supplies.

“We’ll put you on the monitor.”

Since Mayes was released from the hospital a few weeks earlier, paramedics had visited him several times to monitor his heart and lungs and make sure he was following his doctor’s orders.

“With these guys coming by and checking me all the time, it makes it so much better,” Mayes said. “When they leave, you know where you stand.”

Ramsdell is part of an ambitious plan in Reno to overhaul the 911 system to improve patient care and cut costs. By using specially trained paramedics, health officials hope to help reduce avoidable trips to the emergency room and fill gaps in health care.

They also hope to connect 911 callers — particularly repeat ER users — to the regular health care system.

Around the country, the role of paramedics is changing. In various states, they’re receiving extra training to provide more primary and preventive care and to take certain patients to urgent care or mental health clinics rather than more-costly emergency rooms.

Ramsdell and others in his program, for instance, spent 150 hours in the classroom and with clinicians learning how to provide ongoing care for patients.

The changes are driven by the 2010 health law, which aimed to cut spending, expand patient access and improve quality of care.

The federal government is funding the Nevada project and others in Arizona, Connecticut, Washington state and elsewhere.

These projects face some challenges. The American Nurses Association and other professional organizations have raised concerns about whether paramedics are receiving enough extra instruction to provide direct care.

Some programs need government waivers or legislation to exempt them from restrictions on what paramedics can do. In addition, insurers and the government typically only pay for ambulances and paramedics if people are transported to the hospital.

Perhaps the greatest obstacle, however, is changing the habits of those who call 911 in non-emergencies.

Paramedic Ryan Ramsdell checks 68-year-old Earl Mayes’ blood pressure during a home visit on March 26.

OLD-FASHIONED HOUSE CALLS —

Reno paramedics keep patients out of ER “People heal better and heal faster if we are able to treat them at home.”

Ryan Ramsdell, paramedic

“We have a fire truck and an ambulance going to a toothache,” said Jim Gubbels, CEO of the Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority, which is spearheading Reno’s project. We are trying to redirect those folks.”

Using a $9.8 million federal grant, Gubbels’ agency launched three different projects.

In addition to providing paramedic home visits and offering 911 callers options besides the ER, the agency started a nurse-run health line to give people another number to call in non-emergency situations.

An early evaluation by the University of Nevada, Reno, which was based on insurance claims and hospital data, shows that the projects saved $5.5 million in 2013 and 2014.

They helped avoid 3,483 emergency department visits, 674 ambulance transports and 59 hospital readmissions, according to the preliminary data. The federal government plans to do its own evaluation.

One of the most successful ventures has been the nurse health line, said Trudy Larson, director of the university’s School of Community Health Sciences.

About 2,000 calls a month have come from patients concerned about such problems as stomach pain, flu symptoms or falls.

“There was a real need for a readily available, easy-to-access source of health information,” Larson said. “It was really clear that 911 was not the solution.”

Sometimes, however, the best option becomes clear only after someone has called 911.

Recently, a man fell in in a casino and hit his head. Upon arrival, paramedic Jordan Carter quickly realized that the man was drunk.

He determined that there weren’t any immediate medical problems or underlying health issues.

Carter asked if the man wanted to go to a detox facility rather than the emergency room. He

VOICES

My mother’s obit won’t ever reveal fullness of her life Rick Hampson USA TODAY

This is my first Mother’s Day without a mother. She’d suffered for two painful years after a fall, a broken hip and an unsuccessful operation. The last time I saw her she said, “Pray for me.” She died just before St. Patrick’s Day. She was 91.

The next day, I told the funeral director that I’d prepare her obituary. I’d written obituaries of John Lennon, Ed Koch, Margaret Thatcher and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, among others.

How hard could it be to write my own mother’s?

She was an avid reader of newspaper obituaries — “the Irish sports pages,” my father said. One appeal is that, unlike most stories that journalists prepare, obits have a beginning, a middle and a very definite end.

I gave my mother the obit I thought she would have wanted, and the one I thought she deserved. It made her sound attractive, stylish, fun. A bit frivolous,

maybe, but a character who enjoyed herself, and with whom you might enjoy having a drink.

I knew enough to focus on specifics, like her favorite color (purple). I avoided banalities, like how much she loved her children, which would have been remarkable only if she hadn’t. I told of her fondness for an offshore breeze, a nice tan and a stiff Manhattan. I named her favorite lunch (a lobster roll at Captain Al’s) and the last book she read (The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair).

I recalled her pointed opinions, like the time, upon recognizing the comedian Andy Kaufman seated at the next restaurant table, she announced: “I hate him!”

From my brother I learned the name of our mother’s favorite takeout deli egg sandwich, and from my sister her favorite flower (pink carnations). Someone claimed she was once mistaken for Doris Roberts, the mother on Everybody Loves Raymond — I put that in, too.

I did my best for her, which I

agreed. “They’ll give you a place to sober up safely,” Carter told the patient.

The paramedics and EMTs follow strict medical protocols on when to offer choices besides ERs to patients. For example, if their heart rate or blood pressure is too high, that requires a trip to the hospital.

On a recent day, Carter took back 56-year-old Tommie Jones, who had already been to the emergency room several times in two months. She’d called because her blood sugar was high and she’d left her insulin at home. On the way, Carter urged her to pack a small diabetes kit with her wherever she went.

Carter said the patients don’t always know how to manage their illnesses, so they wait until they are really sick and then end up in the hospital. “Then the cycle happens again,” he said.

Ramsdell is trying to break that cycle for Mayes. “People heal better and heal faster if we are able to treat them at home,” he said.

thought was fine indeed. I also thought I was finished — the life of Sheila McDonnell Hampson in 1,150 words.

I was wrong.

The morning of her funeral, on her nightstand, I found an old, well-thumbed booklet for saying the Rosary. Although she had a big, fine house full of exquisite possessions, at the end this tattered blue object was her closest, and implicitly most precious, possession.

But her obit said nothing about her faith.

After we buried her, I got notes from two friends. One recalled how my mother always sent money on Valentine’s Day to take her kids for ice cream.

This was at a time, my friend recalled, when she’d just divorced and money was tight, but what she really treasured was the thought the gift expressed.

The other friend recalled how, when her niece was injured in an accident, my mother showered gifts on the child, whom she hadn’t even known.

But her obit said nothing about her kindness.

God knows what else I missed.

I’m waiting to find out.

Because an obituary, seemingly so final, is really just a first, rough draft of a life story.

FSHS ends SM East’s league run

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

For the past two years, Free State High’s girls swimmers finished second in the Sunflower League Championship, and they weren’t satisfied. They spent all season training and planning to make their move to the top.

The Firebirds made their dreams come true Saturday, winning their first league title in school history at Chisholm Trail Junior High.

They beat runner-up Shawnee Mission East, 368-334, ending a 10-year win streak by the Lancers.

The Firebirds, who have won all of their meets this season, celebrated by holding hands and jumping into the pool when they were announced as winners, then singing the school’s fight song.

“We were just so excited and really proud,” junior

FSHS FRESHMAN ALVENA WALPOLE COMPETES in the 100-yard butterfly.

Cierra Campbell said. “Our hard work paid off. … I’ve been training year-round, and I know people who just swim high school have been training hard the past few weeks and putting in an extra one percent every day to make it better.”

The Firebirds won nine of the 12 events, with two league titles apiece from senior Courtney Caldwell and freshman Alvena Walpole,

and wins in all three relays.

Campbell also won in the 200 freestyle, and junior Sydney Sirimongkhon-Dyck added a victory in the 50 freestyle.

They set the tone by winning the first four races, including the 200 medley relay. They had lost twice to SM East in that relay this season. But the team of Caldwell, Walpole, Sirimongkhon-Dyck and freshman Ava Cormaney outreached

the Lancers by 0.17 seconds for a league record (1:47.66), breaking the old mark set in 2009 by Olathe Northwest.

The Firebirds also broke their own league records in the 200 freestyle relay (1:37.92) with Sirimongkhon-Dyck, Cierra Campbell, senior Eliza Anderson and freshman Claire Campbell, and in the 400 freestyle relay (3:34.15) with Cierra Campbell, Claire Campbell, Walpole and Caldwell.

“I am so impressed with their performance and their ability to step it up, even in the second day,” FSHS coach Annette McDonald said.

“They raced really well and kept it right there. All I can say is, I’m really proud.”

Caldwell won in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke, one day after setting league records in each event’s prelim. When she wasn’t racing, Please see SWIMMING, page 3C

Kansas University sophomore power forward Landen Lucas suffered some significant aches and pains at the end of the 201415 basketball season.

“He was beat up,” KU coach Bill Self said at the Jayhawks’ postseason awards banquet. “He didn’t even practice. He may have practiced the day before games. He had so much stuff (going on).

“He played hurt the whole year,” Self added, while not addressing specific ailments.

Lucas, a 6-foot-10, 240-pound Portland native who had Lucas hip, knee and back discomfort at various junctures, explained the most serious of his problems after working as a camp counselor at Ed Fritz’s College Stars camp Friday night at Blue Valley Northwest High School.

“After the season I had surgery done on my left leg.

There was a small bone tumor in the shin area they had to take out,” Lucas said, the word “tumor” sounding awfully scary coming out of his mouth. “It was nothing serious. It wasn’t cancerous, but I had it from the start of the season. It’s one of those things that was growing throughout last offseason, and I noticed it around Late Night.

“I think it caused some problems. It did give me some pain. Recovery time is six to eight weeks, so we knew we had to wait until after the season to do anything about it,” Lucas explained.

Lucas, who averaged 3.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15.2 minutes a game, didn’t Please see LUCAS, page 4C

Ex-Jayhawk Shepherd grateful for pro chance

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

All JaCorey Shepherd wanted was a chance.

When the defensive back from Kansas University didn’t hear his name called until the sixth round of the NFL Draft last weekend, he made up his mind

right then. Yes, Shepherd wanted to get picked before Philadelphia selected him 191st overall. But, no, he wouldn’t consider this a setback.

“For me to get the opportunity to come in and be able to compete right away, that’s all I need,” the 2014 All-Big 12 first-teamer said

on draft day. “That’s all I want to know.”

Shepherd grew up playing football in Mesquite, Texas, just outside of Dallas. But he said the nearby Cowboys, one of the Eagles’ NFC East rivals, never earned his affection. The receiver-turned-cornerback began working toward his

dream of becoming a pro in middle school. Along the way, he decided not to have a favorite NFL team because he didn’t want to go into the league with any sort of bias.

Sure, Shepherd had favorite players as he watched through the years, and others he admired. Former Philadelphia stars Mike

Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy captured his attention at one point or another.

Now the 5-foot-11, 199-pound defensive back finds his interest in the Eagles’ personnel piqued, particularly in the secondary, Please see SHEPHERD, page 4C Shepherd

Free State softball disappointed by twinbill split

FREE STATE HIGH SHORTSTOP LILY ROSS GRABS A GROUND BALL up the middle during the Firebirds’ doubleheader split with Overland Park St. Thomas Aquinas on Saturday at FSHS.

Free State High’s softball team split a doubleheader Saturday against St. Thomas Aquinas at FSHS, but the Firebirds walked away from it feeling like they had just been swept.

After winning the opener, 6-5, the Firebirds lost the nightcap, 12-11.

FSHS led the Saints, 7-2, in Game Two before a 40-minute lightning delay with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. Free State added two

more runs to complete the fifth and plated another pair in the sixth, but the Saints scored five runs in the sixth and five in the seventh.

“There’s no way a team should score 10 runs in the last two innings against a ball club that is as good as we can be,” FSHS coach Lee Ice said. “As I told the kids, you’ve got to play all 21 outs, and that’s what can happen against anybody.”

The Firebirds scored six runs on seven hits, including RBI doubles from Kate Stanwix and Cali Byrn, in

the bottom of the second to take control in Game Two. FSHS starting pitcher Mayah Daniels was also in a zone before the lightning delay, holding the Saints to two runs over five frames.

But once the lightning delay ended, the Saints’ bats began to strike, beginning with a Bailey Zuniga solo homer to start the sixth. After that, two walks, a single, an error, a wild pitch and a deep sacrifice fly to center accounted for Please see SOFTBALL, page 3C

AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE COMING AMERICAN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE EAST

Kirk has 1-shot lead at The Players Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. — Kevin Na dropped his club and placed his hands on his hips as he watched his tee shot, certain that it was going to come up short of the island. Disappointment gave way to an embarrassed smile when he saw the ball settle six feet next to the flag.

That one shot summed up a warm and wild afternoon Saturday at The Players Championship.

For most players, nothing was ever as bad as it seemed.

Or as good.

Chris Kirk felt his round slipping away when he missed a short birdie putt and followed that with two straight bogeys to fall out of the top 10. Three consecutive birdies later, he was on his way to a 4-under 68 and a one-shot lead going into the final round.

But that’s like having no lead at all. Not with two dozen players — Rory McIlroy, among them — within four shots of the lead.

Na was never too far from the lead, and he was tied when he was on the tee at the par-3 17th and hit slightly behind the ball, took up more of the earth than he intended and thought to himself, “Oh, boy.”

He was waiting for a splash.

Instead, he heard a cheer.

KU bowling alumni celebrate Jaybowl

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Several past and present members of the Kansas University bowling team gathered on Saturday afternoon for one last time at Jaybowl before the 62-year-old bowling alley in KU’s student union officially closed its doors.

Alan Emmons, a member of KU’s 2004 bowling national champion-

ship team, reached out to around 140 other alumni so the Jayhawk bowling program could come together and remember Jaybowl.

“What we’ve done is invited alumni from as far back as the ’80s,” Emmons said. “I know I’ve got some people here from the ’85-’86 team.”

Some alumni even further back than the 80s came back as well, such as 2014 PBA Hall of Fame

inductee Bob Glass. Glass reflected on his days as a bowler and coach at Kansas and how he used the lanes post-college to become a professional.

“The old lanes here, lanes 1, 2, 3 and 4, were in the basement of Hoch Auditorium in the 1920s,” Glass said.

“They were really old wood lanes. You used to have to pound the nails down every year.

(Mike Fine, KU coach

for 19 years) used to let me practice down there because they were the hardest lanes. If I could bowl a 190 game here, then I could bowl a 200 anywhere else.”

Just as Glass kicked off his career at Jaybowl, Free State High bowling coach Burton Gepford launched his playing and coaching career there as well. Gepford, who bowled at KU for four years and coached the

Jayhawks for two seasons, explained how rare it is for a college team to have its own lanes.

“It was a privilege for the KU bowling team to have their own bowling facility on campus,” Gepford said. “A lot of other collegiate teams don’t have that.”

Although Jaybowl has closed its door and is tentatively planned to become a pub/bar and grill in the future, KU se-

“We honestly have to forget about it, work through it,” Patton said.

“We have Shawnee Mission West Monday, and then (Lawrence High), so we have to make sure we’re prepared for both games. We definitely want to win both games for our seniors on Monday since it is Senior Night.”

The Firebirds’ game against SMW began Thursday, but it was suspended with FSHS leading the Vikings, 14-0, in the first inning. Free State will complete its game against SMW at 2 p.m.

the final four runs of the inning.

FSHS appeared to snag momentum right back with two runs in the top of the seventh, highlighted by a Kylie Cobb RBI single, but the added insurance wasn’t enough.

Elizabeth Patton came in to relieve Daniels with one out in the seventh, but Patton, the winning pitcher from Game One, could not contain the Saints in Game Two. After a wild pitch from Patton, STA speedster Kat Lane tied the game with a two-RBI triple.

“I was just trying to keep it away from her,” Patton said of pitching to Lane, “because we had two outs at that point, so with their leadoff, we just wanted to get the out. She just got a hold of it.”

Lane then put the Saints ahead when she came home to score after a throw from FSHS catcher Brianna Burenheide back to Patton got away.

Though Patton was not able to finish off Game Two, she went the dis-

Lawrence High’s girls swimming team finished fourth with 111 points, highlighted by sophomore Mary ReedWeston’s league title in the 100 breaststroke.

“I wasn’t expecting that so it was a nice surprise,” said Reed-Weston, who also took fourth in the individual medley.

The Lions finished in the top five with all of their relays and had freshman Morgan Traughber take seventh in the individual medley and fifth in the 100 backstroke. Sophomore Brittany Archer also took 10th in the 500 freestyle.

“I’m really proud of them,” LHS coach Kent McDonald said. “That was our goal. We knew the top three teams were up there ahead of us. ...

We were in there right where we wanted to be.

All we had to do today was just hold it, and we essentially did.”

the ultra-competitive North Carolina State signee was cheering on her teammates from the pool deck or holding the lap-counter card for Cierra Campbell in the 500 freestyle.

“I swim club, and I swim high school,” Caldwell said. “I think 1,000 times better when I’m swimming for a team just because it holds me accountable, and it’s way more rewarding to win with your team than win by yourself.”

Caldwell, a 14-time league champion who owns league records in seven of the 11 swimming events, didn’t know Free State had secured its victory until the team scores were announced before the final race.

“Yesterday we scored it out from prelims, and it was 300-300 after the breaststrokes,” she said.

nior bowler Kyle Rosberg wants people to know that the legacy of the KU bowling team will continue.

“There’s bowling alleys everywhere, like even the other one in town (Royal Crest Lanes), you go there and you never know who is going to be there,” Rosberg said. “But you come here, and there is a tradition with it, just like anything else on this campus.”

Although Patton was not pleased with her performance in the opener, she credited the defense behind her and the Firebirds’ offense for fueling FSHS.

“It was more just trying to work through the issues I was having and help the team more than hurt them at that point, but they kept me up,” Patton said.

Chavez helps KU softball sweep ISU the Cyclones to conclude the regular season.

“Sweeps in conference (play) are really difficult because every conference team is tough, and everybody is fighting to win those games. Specifically the last weekend of the year, it’s even tougher,” KU coach Megan Smith said.

“The last two weekends have been pretty rough, so for us to come out, be locked in and attack Iowa State for three straight games is a big deal for our

team. I am really proud of the effort from all of our players this weekend.”

In Game One, Chavez became KU’s single-season RBI record-holder after her grand slam gave her 62 RBIs on the season. The old mark of 61 was set in 2006 by Serena Settlemier.

It was Chavez’s fourth grand slam and 14th home run of the season.

Sophia Templin (5-2) earned the win in relief after throwing four scoreless innings.

Chavez added her school-freshman-recordtying 15th homer in Game Two and drove in three more runs. For the series, she hit .727, with three home runs and 11 RBIs. “Daniella is such a special player,” Smith said.

“When we recruited Daniella, we wanted her to come in and hit for us.

We thought she could hit at our level, and she sure can. … She makes adjustments better than probably any other hitter in

Ames, Iowa — Kansas University freshman designated player Daniella Chavez hit a recordsetting grand slam in the opener, then went 4-for4 with another homer in the nightcap to help the Jayhawks sweep a Big 12 softball doubleheader with Iowa State on Saturday.

Fort Worth, Texas — An ill-timed throwing error in the 10th inning doomed Kansas University to a 2-1 Big 12 baseball loss to No. 3-ranked TCU on Saturday at Lupton Stadium.

“I’m not even sure what it was. The MRI showed some small tears (in hip),” Lucas said.

“Naturally, getting beat up throughout the year, everything added up.

Toward the end of the season, it was hard, but nothing was bigger than the goals we were trying to accomplish (Big 12, NCAA titles).”

Lucas returned to the court just last week for basketball-related activities, feeling refreshed after being inactive all of April and part of March and May. “I’m pretty much 100 percent now,” Lucas said.

“The time off I spent after the surgery was great for me. I had a bunch of minor things. All they needed was some time off. Now I’m working to get back in shape.”

Lucas said he should be ready for the start of KU’s World University Games practices, which Self has said should begin in early June. The Games are July 3-14 in South Korea.

“It’s great. I think playing in the World University Games will help the whole team out,” Lucas said. “It’s going to help us get more focused and

where he wants to break through as a contributor.

A left hamstring tear, resulting in slow 40-yarddash times (4.65 and 4.68 seconds) at KU’s pro day, caused Shepherd to slip in the draft, but he received assurances from Philadelphia coaches that they weren’t worried about the injury.

“They told me to get myself ready,” Shepherd said, “and come in ready to compete.”

His NFL journey began this week at the Eagles’ rookie mini-camp, where the battle for playing time officially began.

Philadelphia entered the draft needing depth in the secondary. The or-

walked off with the victory.

“We made some switches to try to get a run in the top of the 10th inning,” KU coach Ritch Price said of his offensive moves that resulted in Pidhaichuk entering as a defensive replacement.

“That led to Pidhaichuk having to play third base.

He had a chance at the 5-4-3 double play and just made a bad throw. There is no sugar-coating it. He made a bad play. He is one of the toughest guys in my dugout, and he will tell you that he made a bad throw.”

prepared. Personally I’m going to use it as a chance to get out there and play against good competition and work on some things.”

KU has added two players thus far from the recruiting Class of 2015, but just one can play in the World University Games. Carlton Bragg, 6-9 from Cleveland, is eligible to compete, but Cheick Diallo, 6-9 from Mali, is not, because he is not a U.S. citizen.

Diallo and Ukraine native Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk can be around the team as managers, but cannot play in the Games or KU’s two exhibitions vs. Canada, June 23 and 26 in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.

“I’m excited for both of them. They bring different skill sets,” Lucas said of frontcourt signees Bragg and Diallo. “It’ll be good for our team (in 2015-16 season) to have those additions. I think they are both hard workers, and they are committed to the program. As an older guy, I definitely like to see that because we’ll try to teach them the ways, and hopefully they’ll buy in.

“Some people have come up to me asking, ‘How do you feel now that you’ve got six bigs on the team?’ I’m excited for it.

I think it’s good competition. How are we supposed to get better and

play better without it? I know personally there are a lot of things I’d like to work on, scoring with my back to the basket and other things. If I’m not doing that against good competition, it’s going to be hard for me to get better.

I’m happy to have both of them in,” Lucas added.

Lucas — he said he’ll soon return to Portland to see relatives and friends then report back to KU for summer school at the start of June — has big goals for his fourth year at KU. He was a red-shirt in 2012-13.

“When you come to Kansas, you expect to have great seasons, and I feel like in my time here we’ve yet to have a great season,” Lucas said, “so being part of one is a goal of mine.

Doing whatever we can in the offseason to get better is definitely a goal.”

Self said junior-to-be Lucas has been a leader by example.

“The reason we won the (11th straight) league title outright was the play he made against West Virginia. It was an unbelievable play,” Self said.

Lucas blocked an inside shot of Nathan Adrian to force overtime against the Mountaineers on March 3 in Allen Fieldhouse. KU went on to win in OT, 76-69, then lost its regular-season finale at Oklahoma, finishing a game ahead of OU and Iowa State.

ganization addressed it by taking three corners: second-round pick Eric Rowe (Utah), Shepherd and sixth-rounder Randall Evans (Kansas State).

Though Rowe played safety and corner in college, the Philadelphia Inqurer’s Zach Berman reported the Eagles are using the 6-1 Utah product exclusively at corner.

Shepherd also played cornerback at minicamp, but he told CSNPhilly.com he expects to get reps in the slot and at safety as well.

None of the three draftees project as starters. Philadelphia signed veteran corners Byron Maxwell, Walter Thurmond and E.J. Biggers in free agency. Plus, the Eagles have corners Nolan Carroll and Brandon Boykin back from 2014’s 10-6 team.

According to the Ea-

gles’ website, defensivebacks coach Cory Undlin demands his corners play assertively at the line of scrimmage, so receivers don’t get a running start.

Shepherd told the website he and his fellow rookies know they’re not going to win every one-on-one matchup as they try to acclimate themselves to the professional ranks.

“That’s the nature of the position,” Shephard said. “You can’t let that bother you. You need to get right back out there and do your job.”

The confident young corner out of KU told CSNPhilly.com he prefers that approach as a defender, and the man coverage he ran as a Jayhawk taught him how to make that style work for him.

“You can’t run if you can’t move, so if I get my hands on you, you can’t

Dyson both tried to catch against the wall. The ball hit the wall in between their gloves and caromed back for a triple that made it 6-2.

“That’s nobody’s ball.

That’s a play that nobody can call. There’s no communication there,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “That was in no-man’s land.

Not a lot of outfielders get to that ball, and we had two of them at the same time.”

Guthrie allowed eight hits and a walk with three strikeouts in his longest outing of the season.

Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez had his first day off of the season.

Drew Butera replaced him behind the plate and went hitless.

Perez had played at least one out at catcher in 55 straight regular-season games, according to STATS. That was the longest streak since Bob Boone of the California Angels had a run of 65 games in 1987-88.

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Harper tags another HR The Associated Press

National League Nationals 8, Braves 6 Washington — Bryce Harper did it again, extending his remarkable homer streak with a tworun shot in the bottom of the ninth inning that sent Washington past Atlanta on Saturday.

Harper homered for the sixth time in his last three games, one off the major-league record set

by Shawn Green in 2002.

At 22, Harper already had become the youngest player in big-league history to hit five home runs in two games. His one-out drive pushed the Nationals, a preseason favorite to win the World Series, over .500 for the first time this year.

Johnson wins in KCK Kansas City, Kan. (ap) — Jimmie Johnson stayed on the track during a late caution to take over the lead, then held off hard-charging Kevin Harvick to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway.

Johnson was chased across the line by Harvick and Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon as the clock ticked past midnight into Sunday.

Most of the leaders were conserving fuel after pitting with 58 laps to go, and Johnson decided to press his luck when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got into the wall, bringing out the final caution with 12 laps left. He remained on the track.

Winston countersues

By Brendan Sonnone Orlando Sentinel (TNS)

Jameis Winston has filed a counterclaim against the woman who accused him of rape, a source with direct knowledge of the case confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel.

The former Florida State quarterback and recent No. 1 overall draft pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers answered a complaint filed by Erica Kinsman, who filed a lawsuit against Winston of sexual assault and filed a civil lawsuit against him, by filing a counterclaim against her.

Winston also is seeking to have the case moved from district court in Orlando to Tallahassee.

In the counterclaim, which was first obtained by website Tomahawk Nation, Winston claimed Kinsman defamed him and “tarnished Mr. Winston’s reputation and public image, and caused him to incur actual damages” such as loss of

“lucrative endorsement deals that Mr. Winston otherwise would have received.”

Winston is requesting a trial by jury, according to the counterclaim, and is countersuing Kinsman for defamation per se, defamation and tortious interference with prospective business advantage.

Kinsman, a former FSU student, accused Winston of raping her in December 2012. The state attorney’s office announced in December 2013 it would not pursue criminal charges against him. A retired Florida Supreme Court judge ruled in December 2014 there wasn’t sufficient evidence to prove Winston violated Florida State’s student code of conduct.

Attorneys representing Winston have maintained that the quarterback engaged in consensual sex with Kinsman.

Kinsman filed her civil lawsuit against Winston last month in the Ninth Judicial District Circuit Court in Orlando.

SINNERS AND PAINTS Artist Patrick Duegaw explores ‘gray area’ of human condition in new Arts Center exhibit

T

he Seven Deadly Sins — and their righteous counterpart, the Seven Heavenly Virtues — served as a linchpin to Patrick’s Duegaw’s childhood in upstate New York, where his Catholic schooling ingrained in him a fear of the Devil and his vices.

Decades later, the Wichitabased artist is exploring “the gray area” that falls between the two moral extremes in “The Innumerable Anxieties,” a 30-piece exhibition of his work slated to run Friday to June 19 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 New Hampshire St. Duegaw will also give an artist talk at 11 a.m.

Saturday at the Arts Center.

The titular anxieties, he says, refer to the broad swath of human behaviors that are “neither wholly good nor wholly bad.”

“It’s the idea that there aren’t just seven of them — they’re endless,” says Duegaw, 48. “I

Culled from Duegaw’s ongoing loosely autobiographical “Painted Theatre Project,” the exhibition opens with a reception from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday at the Arts Center.

Duegaw, who has exhibited both nationally and in Canada, calls his “Set Piece” — a 28-foot-

long panoramic rendering of Fisch Haus, the Wichita artist cooperative where he lives and works — the “Rosetta Stone of the show.”

“Well, that’s a huge anxiety of mine — that I would accidentally burn the Fisch Haus down,” he says of the painting, which depicts an overflowing coffee machine, precariously lit candles, loose wires and other hazardous motifs in its 320-degree view. “There are 40 degrees where you don’t Please see DUEGAW, page 3D

‘Wild Tales’ greater than the sum of its parts

O

ne of the fundamental pleasures of good storytelling is the thrill of being able to live vicariously through the actions of others. This is especially true when the actions of our main characters are daring or thrilling. We get to experience the rush, but at a safe distance.

Damian Szifron’s extraordinarily fun and twisted movie “Wild Tales,” now playing at Liberty Hall and nominated for a best foreign language film Oscar earlier this year, has that feeling — multiplied by six.

Don’t let that fact that the movie is from Argentina discourage you at all.

This is not a slow-moving, subtle drama about characters in a far-away land or culture that you have to struggle to relate to. It’s quite the opposite, in fact.

Each of the six short films that make up Szifron’s anthology film are united by a common thread: They feature characters who have some sort of big break with the norms of modern society and actually act on the things that most of us just fantasize about.

Szifron is a commercial director, and he skips what might normally be large amounts of exposition in another movie, cutting straight to the conflict as soon as possible. The first short, titled “Pasternak,” unfolds so quickly and ingeniously that it’s over before the opening credits even roll. Profiling an unusual encounter on an airplane that may or may not be coincidence, this short has the distinct vibe of a “Twilight Zone” episode but is even more compact in its storytelling.

It’s the perfect opener because it leaves you wanting more.

Along with his brother Agustín, Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar produced “Wild Tales,” so it’s no surprise to find that a streak of subversive humor runs throughout the movie. Each of the short films could be loosely described as revenge tales, but they are really about people who are driven to some sort of brink and then refuse to back away from it.

I sincerely hope that Quentin Tarantino, whose obsession with revenge pictures has started to reveal kinks in his armor, has seen “Wild Tales.” While it embraces elements of the spaghetti western as Tarantino’s films do, it also finds new ways to explore them.

When a bride learns of her new husband’s cheating ways in “Till Death Do Us Part,” it happens during the wedding reception, and her frantic, emotional flailing causes all kinds of hilarious destruction.

At the same time, Szifron keeps an underlying tone of sadness throughout the short that gives it surprising dimension.

At the reverse end, but equally entertaining, is the sickly funny class warfare parable “Road to Hell,” which — besides having a slick, modern

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com sheen — has the feel of a Tarantino story. It begins as a familiar enough conflict, with a yuppie in an Audi flipping off a truck driver, but when the Audi breaks down, things escalate quickly and absurdly, until all pretense of civilized behavior is gone and only seething rage remains.

Not every story in “Wild Tales” is evenly matched, and Szifron knows it. That’s why the shorts are ordered the way they are, to flag a little when the two-hour running time allows it, and to snap back into place for the thrilling conclusion. The longterm consequences of characters’ actions are unevenly distributed, but after all of the cathartic madness, it’s a welcome surprise that “Wild Tales” ends on a note of unexpected poignancy.

Erica Rivas in “Wild Tales” gradually see the underdog girl — who feels like an outcast at home and at school — effectively become the ruling class, and to see where that leads in the context of the fantastical story.

The ultimate success

of this sometimes violent and disturbing film hinges on the ending, and boy does Mundruczó ever nail it. The sight of hundreds of dogs rampaging through an empty city is glimpsed in the beginning, but has new

meaning by its conclusion. When it’s all said and done, “White God” delivers an indictment of both sides, and its one that, despite its canine (anti-?)heroes, rings with an undeniable sadness and human truth.

‘White God’ Speaking of revenge fantasies, Hungarian director Kornél Mundruczó’s “White God” leans more on the side of fantasy than “Wild Tales.” As a parable of blind oppression, however, it’s got a heavier, real-world context that makes it more disturbing. Think “Planet of the Apes” but with actual dogs rather than CGI apes, and you’re halfway there.

“White God,” the 2014 Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard prize winner, which is playing at the Screenland Crossroads in Kansas City, works on two remarkable levels.

On one hand, there is the supreme technical achievement of Mundruczó, who embeds viewers in a dog’s point of view like nothing I’ve seen before. So effective are the low-angle perspectives and choice of shots that create the character of a mixedbreed dog named Hagen, that it’s easy to forget that your emotional connection involves a level of trickery that goes beyond mere “acting.”

Then there is the allegory. Sure, it’s a little heavy handed to replace an oppressed group of people with dogs — whom most of us will instantly sympathize with and whose one-dimensionality is part of their charm — but it makes its point about mindless zealots immediately.

For most of the movie, Mundruczó embeds us with Hagen’s experiences as a lost, stray dog, contrasting those with the story of Hagen’s former owner, a workingclass schoolgirl (Zsófia Psotta). Using this allegory, it’s a nice twist to

A general sense of unease haunts “Set Piece,” which Duegaw says plays with themes of destruction and self-destruction.

Scattered throughout the panorama are “little clues,” like miniature versions of “Burning House,” a 1913 painting

“John the Baptist couldn’t keep his mouth shut, so he got beheaded,” Duegaw explains, referring to the religious leader’s condemnation of Herod Antipas’ marriage to his brother’s ex-wife, an action that led to his execution.

POET’S SHOWCASE Beyond the Moon

Jacquelyn Martin/AP File Photo

HISTORIAN AND AUTHOR DAVID MCCULLOUGH, WHOSE LATEST BOOK ON AMERICAN HISTORY, “The Wright Brothers,” was released last week, prefers to research subjects he knows little about. “I don’t want to be an expert,” he said. “Experts have all the answers; I have questions.”

THE WRIGHT STUFF ————————

Biographer David McCullough studies aviation pioneers’ story with a hobbyist’s eye

By Hillel Italie Associated Press Writer

New York — David McCullough’s latest work of history followed a spontaneous path, from a book about many Americans in Paris in the 20th century to the biography of just two.

“Among the people I turned up were the Wright brothers, and it just astonished me that they were even in France, let alone that it had an important part to play in their story,” says the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, a Boston resident visiting New York to promote his new book, “The Wright Brothers.”

“Just reading about them, I realized how much more interesting they were, how much more compelling than I had any idea. And I thought, ‘No, this is the book.’”

The 81-yearold McCullough was interviewed recently in a private study at the Yale Club in Manhattan, a favorite setting for the Yale alumnus.

He sees “The Wright Brothers,” already optioned by Tom Hanks for a planned miniseries, as the last of an unofficial “trilogy of accomplishment,” following his landmark “The Great Bridge” about the Brooklyn Bridge and “The Path Between the Seas” about the Panama Canal. Paris is part of the Wrights’ story because they at first received more support from the French than from the Americans. McCullough also traces their childhood in Ohio, their devoted parents and Wilbur’s relentless self-education, the bicycle shop where they first revealed their mechanical genius and the 1903 flight at Kit-

There’s an old novelist adage, ‘Keep your hero in trouble,’ and these fellows (Wilbur and Orville Wright) are in trouble all the time.”

— David McCullough, author of “The Wright Brothers”

ty Hawk, North Carolina, that later allowed them to claim honors as the first successful pilots (McCullough dismisses recent claims by Connecticut officials that a resident of their state, Gustave Whitehead, was the real pioneer).

One of the world’s most popular and honored historians, McCullough has written about presidents, Paris, bridges and natural disasters.

But he sees common themes and approaches in his work. His first book, “The Great Flood,” was about the 1889 Johnstown Flood in Pennsylvania and was successful enough that he feared he would be labeled “Bad News” McCullough. So starting with “The Great Bridge,” published in 1972, he picked narratives defined by what is achieved and not lost.

Starting from scratch He also insists on starting with a subject he knows little about.

“And that’s something my academic friends find hard to understand,” he says. “Because they’re experts on a given era or a given group of people or an idea. I don’t want to be an expert. Experts have all the answers; I have questions.”

McCullough is not a trained scholar and has a hobbyist’s background in aviation. As a

child he built model airplanes and flew them, and watched them quickly descend, from the third floor of his house. He also took flying lessons in the 1960s, as many as he could afford to at the time.

At first, he knew little more about the Wrights than did his editor at Simon & Schuster, Bob Bender, who confides in a reader’s note in “The Wright Brothers” that he couldn’t tell which brother was which (Short answer: Orville wore a mustache, Wilbur didn’t). McCullough educated himself through reading and travel, visiting Kitty Hawk, Paris and other sites of their early experiments and looking through thousands of pages of letters and diaries.

“Five years ago, I knew only the same basic things most people did, that they were bicycle mechanics from Ohio and that they invented the airplane,” he says.

Mystery solved His research enabled him to beat the experts and crack a longtime mystery about the Wrights, involving a hockey stick that changed young Wilbur’s life.

When Wilbur Wright was a teenager, he was smashed in the face by a hockey stick while playing on a frozen lake, knocking out several teeth.

The injury sent him into a depression so severe that he abandoned plans to attend college and rarely left home over the next few years. But it also made him an intense reader and brought him closer to Or-

ville, whom he joined first to run a printing press, then a bicycle shop, then as collaborators on flying machines.

Until recently, no one knew who wielded the stick. But in reading through the diaries of the Wrights’ father, McCullough discovered that the boy was famous, notorious, in his own right: Oliver Crook Haugh, a neighborhood bully at the time and later executed for murdering his mother, father and brother.

Dr. Tom D. Crouch, a Wright biographer praised

by McCullough and a senior curator at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., told The Associated Press that he had looked through the diaries while working on his own 1989 book and missed the Haugh entry.

Crouch gives McCullough “full credit for being the first to identify Wilbur’s assailant in a Wright biography.”

Takeaways for today McCullough tries to connect his books to the present and sees in the Wrights an exemplary case of persistence.

The brothers endured numerous failures, humiliations and near-fatal mishaps, including a crash that badly injured Orville and a ferocious mosquito attack that McCullough says would have sent him home “permanently, in absolute horror.”

“There’s an old novelist adage, ‘Keep your hero in trouble,’ and these fellows are in trouble all the time,” he says.

“I was flying to California or somewhere and they came on the loudspeaker and said, ‘We have reached out altitude of 35,000.’ And there I am doing some rewriting of some chapters of these guys and I thought, ‘Whoa, here I am, working on this book and I’m zooming along at 35,000 feet, all with other people who don’t think a thing of it.”

After college, my father held a day job at a refinery, But many nights and weekends, He was a semi-pro baseball player, A Twilight-League allstar many times over, Scouted by the Cardinals, Tigers and Yankees.

Much of my childhood unfolded wondrously In that enchanted world of floods of ballpark lights, The crack of wooden bats, the taste of firecrackers, And peanut shells underfoot.

My father was a tall, rangy god Who smelled of salt, dirt and Promise.

With his cap tipped jauntily, He reigned at the hot corner, third base, Where his cannon of an arm robbed Singles and doubles from lesser gods.

When he came to bat, the crowd hushed, Held their breaths, like that electric moment Right before a first kiss.

Fact is, he holds the record for the longest ball Ever slugged out of Lawrence Stadium In Wichita, Kansas.

How I loved the musky aroma of his battered glove (His magic talisman) And the way his figure dissolved like a ghost Into the dust when he slid home.

Every baseball season, I remember my father Who was drafted by the Cardinals, But forced to relinquish his dream Due to the “significance of his refinery job” To the World War II effort.

Even now, when I slide my hand Into his misshapen glove, It all comes back: His scratchy flannel uniform, The genuine grass field, The pounding of his cleated feet, And my sweet sleep in the backseat On the long drives home.

Most of all, I imagine his home runs Sailing to the lights, over the fence, Beyond the moon.

KANSAS CITY CONNECTION

By Lucas Wetzel

Food that moms (and everyone else) will love

I

’d like to wish a happy Mother’s Day to everyone, especially my own mom, Jane, and my wife, Jennifer. As a tribute of sorts I thought I’d mention a couple of their favorite places to go out to eat — places I’d definitely recommend to anyone looking to take their own mom out for a bite.

The first is Chez Elle, a creperie and coffee house in the Westside that’s situated in the historic Summit theater building at 1713 Summit St. Chez Elle serves a wide variety of sweet and savory crepes as well as pastries and a fullservice coffee bar. The creamy, flavorful lobster bisque is one of the most popular items, and for good reason.

Chez Elle is owned

by Ellen Tarkas, whose time in France inspired the European menu and setting, which is at once bustling and relaxed.

Chez Elle is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday.

Pryde’s Old Westport If you’re in the market for kitchenware, check out Pryde’s Old Westport, a kitchen and housewares store that has been referred to as a “hardware store for cooks.”

Pryde’s has been a family-owned business since it opened in 1968, and it’s a great place to pick up anything from copper Moscow mule mugs to stainless steel butter slicers.

On Fridays and Saturdays, Pryde’s is also home to The Upper Crust bakery counter, which sells fresh pies and baked items. Pryde’s is open from 10 a.m. Monday through Saturday. Find more information online at prydeskitchen.com.

this Wednesday evening along with Belgian artist Ignatz and Kansas City guitarist Mike Stover.

The show will be 8 p.m.

Wednesday at La Esquina, 1000 W. 25th St. Tickets are $8 at the door.

On Friday at 8 p.m., Beck will perform with Willie Nelson as part of Starlight Theatre’s summer concert series.

Tickets for this rare event cost $45 and up at kcstarlight.com.

The following Monday, May 18, Austin, Texas, rockers Spoon will stop through the Arvest Bank Theatre at the Midland for an 8 p.m. show with Sweet Spirit.

Tickets online are just under $35 including fees.

The band’s is touring in support of its 2014 album “They Want My Soul,” which ranks right up there with other standout albums in their catalog.

Should be a fun time.

Concerts Concerts worth checking out this week include a gallery show by Virginia fingerstyle guitar wizard Daniel Bachman, who will perform a set

from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., and lunch is served until 3 p.m.

Weekend brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Chez Elle/Contributed Photo

A crepe from Chez Elle, 1713 Summit St. in Kansas City, Mo. On Fridays and Saturdays, the creperie is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it a great spot to stop for a coffee or glass of wine on the patio before checking out an event or concert downtown. Visit chezellekc. com for a full menu.

Another favorite spot of Jane’s and Jennifer’s is You Say Tomato, a cafe, grocery and deli at 2801 Holmes that serves

made-from-scratch breakfast and lunch using fresh, local ingredients.

The decor is funky and eclectic, with tables and chairs in a variety of shapes and colors and coffee served in mugs that look like something from your own cupboard.

It’s a little like going to a friend’s place for breakfast, if your friend’s place were a brick building on the corner with rows of

groceries and dry goods.

Breakfast specialties include croissants, baked French toast, parfait, granola and corned beef hash, as well as freshbaked muffins and cinnamon rolls. Lunch items include bierocks, grilled cheese, quiche, madeto-order sandwiches, a delicious BLT and daily specials, to name a few.

Breakfast is served Monday through Friday

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Make Mom feel valued this Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Dear Readers: Happy Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Today would be a good time to phone your mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, stepmother or foster mother and wish them the best. And please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget those for whom this day is filled with sadness. Please give them a call and say you are thinking of them.

Every year, salary. com prints an article about what a mother is worth in actual dollars. At press time, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the figures for 2015, but here is how they broke it down for 2014: Housekeeping: $10.19 an hour for 14.6 hours (stay-at-home mom) or 8.3 hours (mom with an outside job).

Cooking: $14.04 per hour for 14.5 hours

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

(stay-at-home) or 8.7 hours (outside job).

Day care teacher: $12.84 per hour for 14.3 hours (stay-at-home) or 5.6 hours (outside job).

Computer operator: $16.44 an hour for 8.6 hours (stay-at-home) or 6.2 hours (outside job).

Laundry: $10.10 per hour for 6.5 hours (stay-at-home) or 4.2 hours (outside job).

Neurotic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Veepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; picks up the pace While real political campaigns drag on for years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Veepâ&#x20AC;? (9:30 p.m., HBO) unfolds at lightning speed. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already up to convention season, with now-President Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her staff floundering as always.

While traditional views of West Wing politics, like, for instance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The West Wing,â&#x20AC;? kept matters elevated and dialogue lofty, the emphasis here is almost always on the petty, the small, the neurotic and the personal.

This tightly choreographed absurdist ensemble comedy always has a crowded feel and beehive intensity, with established comics and improvisational actors furiously interacting in nearly every scene.

President Meyer surrounds herself with people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most notably, the slavish and sycophantic Gary (Tony Hale) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so as to never be alone with her thoughts. Perhaps to avoid discovering that she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any.

The battle to be Selenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;brainâ&#x20AC;? reaches a denouement as faithful aide Amy (Anna Chlumsky) bristles at her bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new reliance on Karen (Lennon Parham), a spineless equivocator incapable of making a single decision.

Not to give too much away, but a candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crisis leads to some interesting ad hoc auditions. Look for Hugh Laurie in a memorable guest spot.

And, befitting Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, much of Selenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention is focused on her daughter Catherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Sarah Sutherland) convention address. As fans of the show know, Catherine needs a focus group just to teach her how to impersonate a real human being.

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other highlights

The Author chooses sides on a two-hour â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Upon a Timeâ&#x20AC;? (7 p.m., ABC).

Aliciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s client claims to be held by police in a secret facility on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Good Wifeâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., CBS).

Emily comes clean on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revengeâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., ABC). This series has been canceled.

Cromwell adjusts as Anne Boleyn falls far from favor on the season finale of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolf Hallâ&#x20AC;? on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Masterpieceâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

Insomnia consumes Don on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., AMC).

BIRTHDAYS Actor David Clennon is 72.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., is 57. Rock singer Bono (U2) is 55. Rapper Young MC is 48. Actress Odette Annable is 30.

CEO: $53.81 per hour for 3.2 hours (stay-athome) or 2.5 hours (outside job).

Facilities manager: $31.63 per hour for 10.9 hours (stay-at-home) or 7.3 hours (outside job).

Van driver: $13.65 per hour for 7.8 hours (stay-at-home) or 5.9 hours (outside job).

Janitor: $10.14 per hour for 7.8 hours (stay-at-home) or 4.4 hours (outside job).

Psychologist: $38.94 per hour for 8.3 hours (stay-at-home) or 6.3 hours (outside job).

The base salary for a stay-at-home mom at a standard 40-hour workweek would be $38,126, plus overtime of 56.5 hours ($80,779) for a total of $118.905.

For a mom with an outside job, that would be $40,583, plus 19.4 hours of overtime

JACQUELINE BIGARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S STARS

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker May 10, 2015

($29.524) for a total of $70,107.

Of course, these figures depend on what each mom does individually, but the bottom line is that every mother is worth a lot more than you might think. The next time someone makes you feel your job as a mother isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t valued, keep these figures in mind.

For Sunday, May 10: This year you seem to be pushed by a need to achieve a lot in the outside world. For some of you, this goes beyond your professional life and will involve a community commitment. If you are single, a special person appears to be on the horizon. If you are attached, be careful, as you could upset your family life if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give your sweetie enough attention.

The stars show the kind of day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might be dragging by the end of the day, as the mood for celebration could be overwhelming. Tonight: Celebrate a mother.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Invite others over to celebrate the day. People flock toward you. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Deal with a personal matter directly; you might feel out of sync until you do. Tonight: Read between the lines.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Pace yourself, and know full well what is happening within your immediate circle.

Tonight: All smiles.

LAWRENCE

By Rochelle Valverde | rvalverde@ljworld.com

Over the summer, the streets of Lawrence serve a multitude of functions.

Be it a cyclist’s race course, a musician’s stage, an artist’s gallery or a farmer’s stand — a city block can transform. So come take a walk down the streets of Lawrence and see what you can find.

WHAT TO DO? LAWRENCE BUSKER FESTIVAL, MAY 29-31 For street performers, the stage may be one of asphalt or concrete, but that doesn’t make the feats less thrilling. At the annual Busker Festival, crowds downtown gather around breakdancers, sword swallowers and fire dancers.

The festival, now in its eighth year, is bigger than ever this summer, with additional stages and performers, said Richard Renner, Busker Festival

coordinator.

The three-day event will feature over 25 performing acts at six sites downtown. The festival will include stages dedicated to musicians, poets and magicians.

For those who want to take it all in at once, the festival is preluded by the Busker Ball. The ball, held May 28, includes a show where the buskers will perform their acts on stage at the Granada Theater.

After the show, the audience can join performers for an informal meet and greet.

FREE STATE FESTIVAL, JUNE 22-28 Ideas, film, music and art — the Lawrence Arts Center’s sixth annual Free State Festival offers plenty of each.

The week-long festival will feature an array of panel discussions, feature films and shorts, music performances and art installations.

A juggler performs downtown at last year’s Lawrence Busker Festival.

Highlights of the festival will include a stand-up comedy performance by Tig Notaro, talks with Jon Ronson and Dennis Lehane and a free outdoor concert downtown with George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic.

Tickets to individual events can be purchased as well as a film pass or a VIP pass.

ST. JOHN’S SCHOOL MEXICAN FIESTA, JUNE 26-27 Tamales, tostadas and enchiladas abound. Now in its 35th year, the annual St. John’s School Mexican Fiesta has come a long way from its modest beginnings.

It started with a boom box and some parishioners selling tacos, said Jacinta Hoyt, of the Fiesta committee.

These days, the charity event draws thousands to St. John’s to partake in the outdoor, two-night fiesta. Each evening features an array of authentic Mexican cuisine, live Tejano bands, Mariachis and traditional dancers.

Proceeds from the fiesta go toward a scholarship fund for post-secondary education of Mexican youth in Lawrence and the Spanish language program at St. John’s.

LAWRENCE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 TOUR OF LAWRENCE, JUNE 26-28 The whir of spinning spokes and brightly colored spandex will fill the streets as hundreds of cyclists compete in the seventh annual Tour of Lawrence.

Cyclists will race in sprint, criterium and circuit courses, testing both their speed and endurance for chances at $20,000 in cash prizes. The tour includes professional, amateur and youth categories.

Friday evening will bring the click of downshifting gears and cyclists off their seats as they vie to be the first to cross the finish line of the street sprints course, comprising a block and a half of Vermont Street. Live music, food and beverage vendors and a kid’s zone with a bouncy house will add to the night’s entertainment.

On Saturday, cyclists test their stamina on the longest race of the tour, the circuit course at Haskell Indian Nations University campus.

Racers then return to downtown on Sunday for the multi-lap criterium course, looping the blocks between seventh and 10th streets. Sunday morning also features the kid’s zone and free kid’s race.

DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIR, JULY 27–AUG. 1 Even if you don’t have a prize hog or blackberry pie to enter into competition, there is plenty to partake in at the annual Douglas County Fair in Lawrence.

Carnival rides, fun houses and games with plush prizes offer entertainment for all ages. Food vendors will be on hand for fair favorites such as funnel cakes, corndogs and cotton candy.

For those who want to keep their feet on the ground, there are the petting zoo, concerts and the demolition derby.

Concerts will be held each evening July 28-30. The demolition derby will be the evening of July 31 and the lawn mower demolition derby the evening of Aug. 1.

A judge looks over the goat competition at last year’s Douglas County Fair.

There are also pre-fair events July 2426, including a barrel racing competition and horse show.

KANSAS STATE FIDDLING AND PICKING CHAMPIONSHIPS, AUG. 23 Among the rows of red bud trees in South Park, the sound of the fountain will be joined by those of banjos, guitars and

fiddles come the 35th annual Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships.

Approximately 70 musicians will compete in the event across nine categories, such as youth fiddle, flat-pick guitar and ensemble folk singing.

The Lawrence Farmers’ Market has more than 80 vendors selling a variety of goods.

museum hosts a permanent exhibit on Douglas County’s free-state and Civil War past, including Quantrill’s 1863 guerrilla raid on Lawrence. The Watkins Building itself is a part of history. The building, completed in 1888, was originally a bank and afterwards served as City Hall.

The Kansas University Natural History Museum, 1345 Jayhawk Blvd., features four floors of public exhibits.

After marveling at the 60-foot-long mosasaur that hangs above the lobby, head to the museum’s historic Panorama.

The Panorama is one of the largest continuous dioramas in the world, portraying the habitats of North America, each one with dozens of preserved animals. Exhibits also include live snakes and insects, fossils of extinct animals, and pre-Colombian archaeological artifacts.

By the end of May, there will also be a new colony of bees in the museum’s beehive exhibit.

The Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive, tells the life story of its namesake, former U.S. Senator and onetime Republican presidential nominee Bob Dole. It houses his congressional papers and other artifacts of his past. The institute also hosts a number of forums and lectures from noteworthy political figures.

FOR THE FAMILY Every Wednesday in June and July, Watkins will host a free family activity called the “Summer Games Series,” where different games are played each week. The games run from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

On June 6, the Spencer Museum of Art (which is currently closed for renovations) will host “Splat!”, as part of its Saturday Art Adventure events. Aimed at children ages 5 through 8, participants can create their own splatter painting. The event is co-sponsored with Student Union Activities and will take place on the west plaza of the Kansas Union from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.

On June 20, Watkins is sponsoring “Larryville Offbeat Sports Day”, an exhibition of unusual sports played in Lawrence, at the East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 E. 15th St. During the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., participants can watch and get a chance to play odd Lawrence favorites such as Scary Larry Bike Polo, Kansas University Quidditch and pickleball.

On Aug. 22, Watkins will offer the daylong program “Civil War on the Western Frontier.” Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and include presentations, live music, and city tours exploring the history of the Civil War era.

BALDWIN CITY

By Elvyn Jones | ejones@theworldco.info WHY GO THERE? Baldwin City celebrates its roots, which extend back to the breaking of the Santa Fe Trail in 1824. It was on the trail that the settlement of Palmyra sprang up on a watering hole with a hotel, harness shop, tavern, blacksmith and two doctors serving the needs of those making the long trip back and forth to New Mexico. A post office was recognized in 1857.

In 1858, a group of Methodist ministers meeting in Palmyra saw the need for a college in Kansas Territory, a decision that led to the founding of Baker University to the south of the settlement.

When the Palmyra town site shifted to near a new center of activity near the school, Baldwin City was born.

Like other communities tracing to the state’s late territorial days, Baldwin City’s early history was intertwined with the conflict between pro-slavery and Free State supporters. On June 2, 1856, abolitionist

T

John Brown’s forces intercepted those of Capt. Henry Clay Pate about 3 miles east of present-day Baldwin City on a site on the Santa Fe Trail. The ensuing skirmish became known as the Battle of Black Jack and was the first conflict between organized forces of the Civil War. Visitors to Baldwin City today will find a city of about 4,500. Century-old homes and the community’s signature maple trees line brick streets at its historic core, while residential neighborhoods have sprung up beyond.

WHAT TO SEE: The main downtown intersection of Eighth and High streets offers quick access to the Baldwin City Chamber of Commerce office, which occupies a quaint, long-closed filling station, on the intersection’s northeast corner, and City Hall on the southwest corner. Visitors will

find plentiful written materials on local attractions at both.

The downtown is home to Mexican and Chinese restaurants, a coffee and sandwich shop, three antique and consignment stores and a comic book store serving an active gaming community.

The Baker campus is a block to the north.

The Lumberyard Arts Center is just east of the chamber office at 718 High St. Visitors will find a rotation of art shows in its gallery, open Tuesday through Saturday.

The Lumberyard also sponsors monthly Friday evening art walks, starting June 19 and continuing the third Friday of each month through September. The evenings include musical entertainment, crafts and art vendors and a special activity, such as a cupcake decorating contest, in the arts center.

The chamber will sponsor two events this summer. The first will be a daylong car show on downtown streets. Organizers expect about 100 hot rods and antique vehicles to be on display. On July 18, the chamber will have its annual Winefest from 1 to 5 p.m. in downtown’s Joe Spurgeon Park. The products of Kansas wineries will be available for sampling and purchase.

MAPLE LEAF FESTIVAL: Timed each year to coincide with the peak fall foliage displays, the Maple Leaf Festival annually draws more than 30,000 people on the third full weekend of October. The big attraction is the Saturday and Sunday craft show that brings more than 300 vendors from as far away as New York. Other festival features include a parade, quilt show, carnival, musical entertainment and petting zoo.

LIVING TRANSPORTATION HISTORY: In 1867, the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Fort Gibson railroad pushed south from Lawrence to Ottawa. Although the route was a vital transportation link for decades, service ended on the line in the late 1970s. However, the section from Baldwin City south to Norwood and Ottawa survives as the excursion nonprofit Midland Railway. It has become Baldwin City’s biggest tourist attraction, drawing 24,000 visitors last year.

Two years ago, the Kansas Belle Dinner Train started offering Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon rides on the Midland line. Passengers ride in

HISTORY, HEROES AND HOME RUNS!

he story of the Negro Leagues is one of courageous athletes who forged a glorious history during the midst of an inglorious era of American segregation. Their passion for baseball would not only change the game, but America too!

And, it’s all chronicled at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), America’s home for Negro Leagues history.

Great athletes. Colorful characters. Their stories come to life at the NLBM. There’s “Cool Papa” Bell, still believed to be the fastest man to ever play the game. He could circle the bases in 12 seconds. Or, the legendary Satchel Paige, who in 1948 became the oldest rookie in Major League Baseball history at the tender age of 42. Or was it 52? Only Satch knew…and he never told!

So much history. So many heroes! Experience it for yourself.

Bring the entire family to visit the NLBM!

KANSAS CITY

By Nico Roesler | Twitter: @NicoRoesler WHY GO THERE? For Kansas City, 2015 is a year of looking forward while honoring history.

While 2014 saw the celebration of milestones for some of the city’s most iconic attractions, 2015 will see the development of what the city hopes to be new signatures for the city.

The downtown will welcome the KC Downtown Streetcar later this year. The streetcar will span the downtown area from River Market to Union Station going north and south, mostly along Main Street. It will serve the numerous businesses, restaurants, art galleries and residences along the way, connecting the downtown area like never before.

The city is booming with more summer events than ever, and it can’t wait to show visitors what it has to offer, now and into the future.

WHAT TO DO: Kansas City has honored many of its local landmarks, including Union Station, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, but this year, the city is honoring some national history.

Fifteen years after the final Peanuts comic strip was published, Worlds of Fun is looking to put people back in touch with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the strip’s other legendary characters. The 200acre amusement park has created a Planet Snoopy children’s area. It also has added new features to its waterpark, including Splash Island, a 4,200-square-foot interactive water attraction designed for families, and swan-shaped paddle boats in Buccaneer Bay. The National World War I Museum at

Liberty Memorial, 100 W. 26th St., will welcome a new exhibit this summer called “From Sand to Snow: The Global War of 1915,” illustrating the year’s influences on military, political, economic and social ideologies in the nations at war and those remaining neutral on the sidelines.

WHAT TO SEE: The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, in KC’s 18th & Vine Historic Jazz District , is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2015.

The museum gives an incredible glimpse into the African-American baseball league from its origin after the Civil War to its end in the 1950s. The museum will feature special programming, including Silver Slugging Memories, a free exhibition running May 9 through Aug. 31, which details the museum’s rise to national prominence from its humble beginnings in a one-room office.

The Kansas City Zoo, 6800 Zoo Drive, is looking to follow up on the success of its penguin and polar bear habitats and will debut a new Orangutan Canopy habitat this summer.

Designed to highlight the world’s largest tree-dwelling mammal, the 3,400-square-foot outdoor habitat will put the creature’s dexterity and intelligence on full display. With the creation of the new habitat, the current indoor orangutan area will be turned into an “Orangutan University,” where brightly painted walls and colorful climbing structures will create a fitness studio and learning lab for the primates.

including baked beans, coleslaw and white bread. There are more than 100 barbecue restaurants in the Kansas City area, but some of the more legendary establishments are: Arthur Bryant’s, with its flagship restaurant at 1727 Brooklyn Ave.; Joe’s KC (Oklahoma Joe’s), with its original gas station location at 3002 W. 47th Ave.; and Gates Bar-B-Q, which has six locations, including those at 1221 Brooklyn in Kansas City, Mo., and 1026 State Ave. in Kansas City, Kan. Newer additions to the barbecue scene include Q39, 1000 W. 39th St., and Char Bar, 4050 Pennsylvania Ave., in Westport.

More than 200 judges will taste barbecue from 185 contestants competing for the title of Grand Champion. These events usually include music, children’s activities and lots and lots of food. Admission is $5.

HOW TO GET THERE: The quickest route is to travel east on Interstate 70. If you want to avoid paying a toll and don’t mind a slightly longer trip, go east on U.S. Route 24/40 to I-70.

SHAWNEE

By Nicolas Roesler | nroesler@shawneedispatch.com WHY GO THERE: Whether you’re looking for a fun day at a waterpark, a day of shopping or a historical outing, Shawnee has it all.

With a history dating back to the mid-1800s, Shawnee is the perfect place to visit whether you’re searching for a historical adventure or a leisurely day of shopping. Shawnee is the third largest city in Johnson County and is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state.

Shawnee is best known for its green spaces, including 31 city parks.

To enjoy some hot summer days, visit one or both of the city’s two state-ofthe-art aquatic facilities: the Thomas A. Soetaert Aquatic Center, 13805 Johnson Drive, and Splash Cove at the Jim Allen Aquatic Center, 5800 King Ave. The pool season runs through Sept. 1. Hours of operation are 12:30 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 12:30 to 6 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday.

There are many shopping options along Shawnee Mission Parkway and Johnson Drive, from the newer national big-box stores to the locally owned stores in and around downtown Shawnee.

A GOOD PLACE TO START: To truly experience Shawnee, you have to experience its rich history, and the best place to do that is Shawnee Town 1929 in the heart of downtown Shawnee.

Each year, the city-owned museum draws thousands of visitors to the community to experience what living in Shawnee was like in 1929. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday through the end of October.

Last year, the museum completed construction of three new buildings at the historical site off Johnson Drive.

The museum now features a typewriter

Discover 1920s farm and town life in Shawnee by stepping back in time!

Experience life in a small rural community surrounded by Belgian and German truck farms. That's when the "roar" of the Roaring Twenties came from a Ford Model AA truck and you could get a shave and a haircut for two bits! See the historic farmhouse and outbuildings and feed the chickens. Then move on to the town to visit Bousman's Barber Shop, Yotz's Typewriter Repair Shop, the Jail and one room schoolhouse. In late June two new buildings will open to the public - Garrett’s Grocery Store and the Undertaker's Establishment. There's always something happening at Shawnee Town. And it's always something fun!

Terrace, an indoor amusement park featuring miniature golf, arcade games, go-karts and a soft play area.

The Wonderscope Children’s Museum, 5700 King St., is also a popular place for families and has recently undergone several renovations. The museum is known for providing fun, interdisciplinary arts and science exhibits and programs aimed at children 10 and younger. The museum’s Raceways Room and the Farm to Market Room, which educates children on the food that they eat and where it comes from, have been redone.

repair shop, a barbershop and a city jail.

The museum brings the 1920s to life at events including Old Shawnee Days, when reenactors dress in period clothing to give presentations and visitors can take carriage rides and partake in other traditions.

BONNER SPRINGS AND KCK

By Caroline Boyer | cboyer@theworldco.info

WHY GO THERE? Western Wyandotte County continues to provide a vast number of entertainment options right here in Kansas. You can catch a great outdoor concert, watch a marble being made, experience a day on the farm, take a trip back to the Renaissance, find a great bargain on discount clothes or catch a professional soccer game or NASCAR race. Get wet and wild at the Kansas City Schlitterbahn Vacation Village and Waterpark, home of the world’s tallest waterslide, or soar through the treetops at the only zipline park in the Kansas City area, Adventure Zip KC. WHAT’S NEW: The Verruckt, the world’s tallest waterslide at 17 stories, remains almost literally this biggest thing in western Wyandotte County. The waterslide was so popular in its opening season last summer that Schlitterbahn developed a day-of reservation system to give guests a scheduled time to ride, with sign ups beginning when the park opens for the

day. It’s first come, first served, and last year the demand was often greater than the number of available rides, so if you want the thrill of plunging 168 feet in a three-person raft, get there early.

Those who aren’t seeking quite as much thrill can still, of course, enjoy slides like the Bahnzai Pipeline, Cyclone and Black Knight, the Boogie Bahn surf ride, and the King Kaw Rapids River and Mighty Mo Chute ride.

A GOOD PLACE TO START: The Legends Outlets and surrounding area has 101 stores and restaurants, Cabelas and Nebraska Furniture Mart, JCPenneys and Kohls, three major sporting venues, the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway, and five hotels.

In Bonner Springs, start with the infamous Moon Marble Co., 600 E. Front

Toddlers can have fun in special areas of Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark.

St., where you can see a marble made and explore the glass art and vintage toys.

Then run to Downtown Bonner Springs to find vintage decor shopping like Flip KC, Garland Taylor Home, the Pink Zebra and This and That Antiques and Collectibles.

For music lovers, also in Bonner Springs just west of the Legends on State Avenue, Cricket Wireless Amphitheater has a busy schedule this summer, from country star Luke Bryan June 16 to Dave Matthews Band July 14 and Van Halen July 22.

SAVE THE DATE: Adventure Zip KC zip line park, 12829 Loring Road just southwest of Bonner Springs, allows visitors to zip over 10 lines from as high as a 65-foot tower atop a 250-foot-tall hill overlooking the Kansas River. The park also hosts obstacle challenges. Register for the Wild Women Timber Challenge July 26 or the Extreme Timber Challenge Sept. 27 at kctimberchallenge.com.

Speaking of physical challenges, a new special event at the Kansas Speedway will be the Wipeout Run Aug. 29, a 5K with obstacles similar to those on the popular television show of the same name.

Matt Kenseth smiles after qualifying for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series STP 400 auto race in 2013 at Kansas Speedway.

THINGS TO DO WITH THE KIDS: If the waterparks of Schlitterbahn and the Great Wolf Lodge aren’t enough, the Legends area has many more options for families with children, from the animatronic dinosaurs at the T-Rex Café to the arcade games at Dave & Busters.

One less expensive option: T-Bones Baseball at CommunityAmerica Park offers single-game tickets from just $6.50.

And even better, The Legends 14 Theaters will offer a free family movie from 10 a.m. to noon every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday over the summer.

In Bonner Springs, the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame features the history of agricultural production and a recreated Farm Town, with family-friendly events like Tractor Daze and Touch-a-Truck on July 11. The Kansas City Renaissance Festival runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends beginning Sept. 5.

DID YOU KNOW: Shopping The Legends Outlets is also a lesson in state history. The shopping center is sprinkled with more than 80 plaques, murals and other markers dedicated to famous Kansans. An audio walking tour is available from the Customer Service office, and a Scavenger Hunt can be printed from the Legends’ website.

HOW TO GET THERE: To get to the Legends area from Lawrence, head east on Interstate 70 to Interstate 435 North, taking the west exits for either State Avenue or Parallel Parkway.

To get to Bonner Springs, head east on I-70 and take the Kansas Hwy. 7 exit. Head north for Cricket Wireless Amphitheater, the RenFest or Ag Hall; head south for downtown Bonner Springs shopping, Moon Marble and Adventure Zip KC.

CENTRAL KS

By Elvyn Jones | ejones@theworldco.info HUTCHINSON WHY GO THERE? Home to two of the Kansas Sampler Foundation’s original Eight Wonders of Kansas, Hutchinson has some rare — and random — museum collections to visit.

But if moon rocks and salt crystals aren’t your thing, the town offers adventures for land lovers as well.

WHAT TO DO THERE: One Hutchinson museum is truly out of this world. The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center is home to one of the largest collections of United States space artifacts, second only to the Smithsonian.

From Apollo XIII to the 109-foot Titan rocket once used to launch astronauts into space, the Cosmosphere artifacts provide a fun, educational and engaging experience.

In 2007, the Kansas Sampler Foundation named the museum one of the original Eight Wonders of Kansas.

THINGS TO SEE: Once you’ve seen what’s far above, go 650 feet below the Kansas plains into the Kansas Underground Salt Museum, “Strataca,” which is also one of the Kansas Sampler Foundation’s original wonders. After the 90-second elevator ride, visitors take a tram ride with a tour guide to learn about geology, salt mining and the cultural significance of salt. The adventurous guest can take the “salt safari,” strapping on a hardhat with attached miner’s light and exploring abandoned passages of the mine. A registration is required and can be made by calling 620-662-1425.

Live science shows and science films are on tap in the Dome Theater and Planetarium.

SAVE THE DATE: The annual Wichita Riverfest includes live entertainment, outdoor activities, food, fireworks and fun. For $5, festival attendees gain access to events May 29 through June 6.

WESTERN KS

By Rochelle Valverde | rvalverde@ljworld.com If it seems hard to fathom that western Kansas (and most of the western United States) was once an inland sea, a trip west can offer some reminders of that distant past. Columns of rock, small canyons, mesas and buttes showcase the layers of deposits that once made up the sea floor.

A visit to these natural attractions can help you leave the city-life behind.

The Red Hills, also know as the Gypsum Hills, feature red-tinged rolling hills, buttes and mesas. The region is named for the rusty-red coloring of the soil and stone, which get the color from the oxidation of iron. The region spans Clark, Comanche and Barber counties.

The Red Hills were known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medicine Hillsâ&#x20AC;? to the Plains Indians, because the water in the area contains natural salts from gypsum and other mineral deposits, which are know for their therapeutic and healing effects, according to the Kansas Geological Survey.

The Big Basin Prairie Preserve contains almost 2,000 acres of prairie in the Red Hills region of southwestern Kansas. The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks manages the preserve. In addition to the flat grasslands commonly associated with the area, the landscape contains rolling hills and small canyons.

Bison roam the area, which features two well-known sinkholes, Big Basin and Little Basin. Big Basin is a crater-like depression in the land that is about one mile in diameter and 100 feet deep. The Little Basin spans about 280 yards across and is 35 feet deep.

The Monument Rocks are 70-foot columns of white rock in western Gove County. Also known as the chalk pyramids, the layered white columns rise like towers from the speckled green and yellow flatlands.

Bison roam the area of the Big Basin Prairie Preserve.

The columns were once a single mass of stone made of shale, limestone and chalk, according to the Kansas Geological Survey. During the Cretaceous Period (about 80 million years ago), when Kansas was covered by an inland sea, minerals drifted down, depositing layer upon layer on the seaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s floor.

The hundreds of feet of rock left when the sea dried up were whittled away by rushing wind and water, resulting in the striking landscape weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re left with today.

As such a unique feature, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise the Monument Rocks were a landmark for early travelers and pioneers.

Meade State Park, located southwest of the city of Meade on Highway 23, comprises 803 acres dedicated to camping, fishing and hunting. The park includes an 80-acre fishing lake surrounded by 440 acres of campsites and a nature trail ideal for birding, biking and hiking.

The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 360-acre wildlife area provides a good area for dove and quail hunters. Hunters can also keep an eye out for the deer, turkey and rabbit that inhabit the area.

GREENSBURG: Greensburg is recently known for the EF5 tornado, one of the largest tornadoes on record in the U.S., which destroyed 95 percent of the town on May 4, 2007.

The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-tornado rebuilding process focused on sustainability, making Greensburg a destination for those wanting it see its transformation into one of the greenest cities in the nation.

Visitors to Greensburg, located off of U.S. Highway 54 in Kiowa County, can spend the day learning about the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green elements. Greensburg is also home to the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest hand-dug well. The appropriately named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Wellâ&#x20AC;? allows visitors to descend into the well, which is 109 feet deep and 32 feet wide.

BALDWIN CITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 reconditioned 1940s-era passenger cars, on which formal meals are offered on Saturday and informal family meals on Sunday. Passengers have the choice of riding in cars in which the experience and scenery are the main attraction or those with theater and live entertainment. Rides can be booked at kansasbelle.com.

Midland Railway continues to offer rides Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from the first weekend in May through October. This year, Sunday rides will be in cars the Kansas Belle Dinner Train owns. No meals will be served, but passengers will be able to enjoy the scenery in air-conditioned comfort.

Ticket information can be found at midlandrailway.org.

Midland Railway’s biggest weekends are those when the full-sized facsimile of Thomas the Tank Engine visits. The visiting Thomas, which now speaks, will be in Baldwin City the weekends of May 29 -31 and June 5-7.

FOR THE KIDS: Visitors will find two city parks equipped with playground equipment, picnic tables and shelters. The city’s modern pool has a kiddie pool, zerodepth entry and slides. Baldwin City Lake at the intersection of North 100 Road and East 1900 Road has an 18-hole disc golf course and is open for fishing.

EXPLORING THE PAST: The Black Jack Battlefield is 3 miles east of Baldwin City, just south of U.S. Highway 56 on East 2000 Road. Visitors can take self-guided walking tours of the battlefield from dawn to dusk daily.

From May through October, free guided tours are available at 1 p.m. the first Saturday of each month. A walk and talk will be available on the battle’s June 2 anniversary, beginning at the actual 4:45 a.m. start time of the battle.

Across the road from the battlefield, visitors can view deep ruts dug by wagons on the Santa Fe Trail.

Also of historical interest is the Quayle Bible Collection housed in Baker University’s Collins Library. The collection, pieced together by former

Baker University President Bishop William Quayle, is probably best known for its two original King James Bibles, but it contains other rare manuscripts, religious texts and artifacts that reflect Quayle’s wide interests. To make an appointment to view the collection, call 595-8414.

Also on the Baker campus is Osborne Chapel. Once located in Sproxton, England, the limestone chapel was disassembled, transferred and rebuilt in 1996 on the Baldwin City campus. The chapel is open to visitors most days the university is open, and tours for 10 or more can be scheduled by calling 5944553.

Artifacts from Baldwin City and Baker history can be viewed by appointment at the Old Castle Museum, 511 Fifth St. Near the building are reproductions of the old Palmyra general store and post office and Kibbee Cabin, in which the decision to found Baker was made. To make an appointment to tour the museum, call 594-8380.

A trolley ride leaving at 10:30 a.m.

Saturdays from The Lodge, 502 Ames St., visits Baker, Black Jack Battlefield, the Santa Fe Depot and other historic sites.

The Midland railway is a popular attraction near Baldwin City.

HOW TO GET THERE: Baldwin City is on U.S. Highway 56, four miles east of that highway’s intersection with U.S. Highway 59.

Travelers from Lawrence should use that route this summer rather than CR 1055, which is closed north of Baldwin City for construction until October.

The community can be accessed from Interstate 35 from US 59 in Ottawa or from Kansas Highway 33 in Wellsville.
