County denies Kobach was shown favoritism Failure to be strict on building codes was simply part of new kinder, gentler — albeit unwritten — policy, administrator says

By Karen Dillon Twitter: @karensdillon

Early last year, Douglas County administrators decided that they needed to repair their reputation for being inconsistent in their code enforcement with people building in the county.

Instead of being known as an operation trying to fine and punish people for failing to “dot i’s and cross t’s,” the

county needed to be an agency that helped builders get into compliance, County Administrator Craig Weinaug said. Safety was still the Kobach goal, but officials wanted to be approachable and helpful.

Weinaug had recently hired

a new building officer, Jim Sherman, and at the beginning of March 2014 Weinaug gave him those marching orders, he said.

Weinaug A few weeks later, in April, it came to light that Secretary of State Kris Kobach was preparing a building in rural Douglas

County as a residence, even though he only had permission to use it as an agricultural building. The difference between residential building and building for agricultural use, in terms of code requirements and expense, is significant.

The county code calls for a fine equal to the cost of the building permit fee for those who start to build without a permit — a fine that would have been $700 in Kobach’s

case. But the fine was not assessed.

County officials also could have made Kobach tear out the floor so inspectors could look at already-installed plumbing, as they had in a similar situation with a builder a year earlier. They could have made him hook up to a water supply before granting a certificate of occupancy.

ou’ve got to love the Brits.

You don’t have to love Marmite. Really, you don’t. The English product says so with its official branding slogan: “Love it, hate it.”

I can tell you’re already confused. Marmite. It’s your run-of-the-mill yeast extract spread. Put it on a biscuit and it’s like swallowing a whole cow that’s been put through a smoothie machine. It is very beefy flavored, although it contains no beef. Just one of the many mysteries of the Brits.

“It is the gunk that stays in the barrel after you are done brewing beer,” says Sally Helm, owner of the popular downtown store Brits.

At this point, maybe you’re thinking we don’t have to love the Brits. But for some reason in Lawrence, it sure appears that we do. Brits, the store at 929 Massachusetts St., is celebrating its 20th year in business. In the beginning, a lot of people would have bet against that milestone.

“I just remember trying to convince everyone that a British store does make sense,” Sally says.

Now, Sally spends time convincing people that English food is far better than the reputation it has gained. She does not lead with Marmite, nor with pickled cockles, which are not quite as good

The Kansas University Sexual Assault Task Force has recommended changes that KANSAS would turn UNIVERSITY upside-down firmly-rooted fraternity and sorority practices at KU. Student greek leaders — who announced a sexual assault prevention program of their own — oppose the suggestions and say they’re miffed the task force didn’t ask for their input.

A task force leader, however, cites changing greek practices as a priority in diminishing sexual assault at KU. “It’s very realistic,” said task force co-chairwoman Alesha Doan, associate professor of political science and chairwoman of Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies.

“The practices and cultural norms of greek life vary tremendously from university to university, and being familiar with the practices

hopes greeks can be leaders in combatting the issue of sexual violence.

“Sexual assault can happen in a dorm, and it can happen in regular houses,” she said. “You don’t really hear about the stories where a woman or man was sexually assaulted ... in a random house here on Tennessee, Kentucky or Ohio (streets).”

Next steps The task force was not subject to the Kansas Open Meetings Act, according to KU, so it did not make its correspondence throughout the year open to the public or the media.

The four meetings leading up to the final report’s unveiling were conducted in private, as were portions of earlier meetings.

Doan said the task force believed keeping communication confidential was important “to foster an openness” for conversations hoped to help identify the problem of sexual assault at KU. Doan said the task force met with or received correspondence from former and current members of the KU greek system, and consulted “campus partners that deal directly with greek life.”

The task force’s recommendations include supporting the greek community’s efforts to curb sexual assault, “so we do recognize the important role that they play as stakeholders,” Doan said.

None of the task force recommendations is going into effect immediately, and there’s no guarantee that any will be adopted, though most are less controversial than the greeksystem changes.

The chancellor’s office is reviewing the report and determining next-steps.

Doan said some recommendations could be quickly and easily implemented while the greek-related ones are among long-term goals.

Logistical hurdles — such as helping fraternities retool funding models to adjust for loss of income from live-in freshmen — would need to be worked through, Doan said, but “there are models for how that can be done.”

Greek plans Meanwhile, after creating a Greek Sexual Assault Task Force that also met all year, IFC and PHA leaders are rolling out their own changes beginning this fall.

“We’re really excited about implementing the new sexual assault pro-

gramming on our own, and we’re looking forward to making strides with that,” Simmons said.

One new move is banning hard alcohol from all fraternity chapter houses.

Simmons said that was done in several contexts including the consideration of sexual assault — which IFC leaders are careful to say is not caused by excessive alcohol use but has been correlated with it.

The other is an education and prevention effort.

The women’s program is called CARE (Campus, Assistance, Resources, Education and Engagement) Advocates.

The plan is for each sorority chapter to choose two women — not executive officers — to become CARE Advocates. They would undergo extensive training in the fall, then be in the advocate role January through December, Hecht said.

The hope is that members who have been sexually assaulted and don’t know where to turn or don’t feel comfortable reaching outside the house to professional, community or law enforcement resources right away will talk to the CARE Advocates.

“It would be someone they could just talk to ... or if they want to figure out what their next step would be, that CARE Advocate would direct them to the appropriate resource,” Hecht said.

The men plan a peereducation effort.

IFC leaders are working with several KU offices to develop their program, said Stephonn Alcorn, KU IFC director of leadership and development and a Sigma Nu member. He said trained fraternity members would educate chapters using interactive scenarios that emphasize bystander intervention and understanding consent.

Alcorn said many fraternity members that participated in conversations said other education efforts seem to use scenarios that aren’t realistic. Real-life situations can be ambiguous, Alcorn said, so the training should reflect the complexities of those.

IFC and PHA plan to iron out details of the programs over the summer.

Nobody wants to sit in a big lecture or listen to someone read something written by, say, a 35-yearold, Hecht and Alcorn said.

That’s not going to work.

“There’s no better people to understand you, how to reach you, how to get things to stick than your peers,” Alcorn said.

Baldwin City — No less an authority than Robert Osborne, the man who made it financially possible, initially thought it an impractical undertaking to bring a 19th century English

village church to the Baker University campus to serve as the school’s chapel.

“He told me later that when I first approached him about it, he thought I was nuts,” former Baker University President Daniel Lambert said Thursday when recall-

ing the events that led to the relocation to the Baldwin City campus of what is now called C. Osborne Chapel. “He also said that after a year or two, ‘I guess there are two of us.’”

LAWRENCE

L awrence J ournal -W orld

The appraiser’s office, however, lists it as a single-family residence with an attached garage and a porch with a roof.

Kobach told the Journal-World in June 2014 that he hadn’t gotten a building permit and opted for an agriculture use designation back in 2013 based on advice from Morton Buildings.

During the 2014 inspections, Kobach told Wempe he had hired a plumber and an electrician to do some of the work at the building.

Rick Fischer, the plumber, and Steve Billbe, the electrician, told the Journal-World that normally they call for their own inspections, but in this case Kobach said he would take care of the paperwork.

“I told him I don’t think they are going to go for that,” Fischer said. “Usually I call for my own inspections. Kobach said, ‘I will handle all that.’ So I put it off on him.”

In an interview with the Journal-World, Kobach Contributed Photo said he hadn’t hooked up to a water main because it THIS APRIL 24, 2014, PHOTO from a Douglas County inspection report shows the north side of a building constructed on the land. is about a half mile away and will cost thousands of dollars.

“We’re hoping to do it later this year … but definitely before we build a home,” Kobach said.

Stephen Lane, a local architect who is the chairman of the Douglas County Board of Construction Codes Appeals, expressed surprise that the county issued an occupancy certificate without an approved water source.

“It’s hard to have sanitary conditions if you don’t have water — assuming you are using toilet facilities,” Lane said.

They did neither.

A county resident filed an appeal with the board of construction appeals 10 days ago alleging that the rules were not applied as required in the Kobach case. The county has denied the appeal, but the resident said she planned to take her case directly to board members.

Weinaug and other county officials say others also have benefitted from the new, more helpful approach the building department is taking, that Kobach was not the first nor the only one. With the exception of the failure to double Kobach’s building permit fee — which Weinaug acknowledges was an error, was his responsibility and had happened with other builders as well — the county has discretion over application of the rules in question, he said.

What’s really at play, Weinaug says, is an ongoing effort to rein in what he perceived to be inconsistent and sometimes overly harsh application of the county’s rules.

“The implication that we would treat Mr. Kobach more favorably than somebody else because of who he is is simply laughable,” Weinaug said in an interview.

Moreover, Weinaug said, it was important that Douglas County not be seen as beating up on Kobach, a controversial conservative politician, in the middle of the 2014 election season.

The risk, Weinaug said, wasn’t that Kobach would get special treatment. He said it was “that anything we did with Mr. Kobach would be viewed as punitive and a reflection of what the attitude of the average Douglas County resident was toward him. And so we needed to make sure that he was not being treated in a way that was more Contributed Images negative than was appropriate or how we wanted THESE UNDATED DRAWINGS FROM A KANSAS OPEN RECORDS ACT REQUEST show a rough plan for a building constructed on everybody else in Dougland owned by Kris Kobach, left, and plans for water lines and future structures on the property, right. las County to be treated.”

How it started In 2013, Kobach owned 159 acres in northern Douglas County and wanted to construct a 2,520-square-foot Morton-brand steel barn building, according to county records. He grows soybeans on the land.

At that time, the county gave the building an agriculture use designation after Kobach, an attorney, signed an affidavit saying the building would be used only for agricultural purposes and would not be “a place of human habitation,” “a place of employment” or “a place used by the public,” according to county records.

When Kobach signed the affidavit to receive the agriculture use designation, he wrote on the certificate that “part of the building will be used for a farm ‘office,’ however there is no electricity or water service at the present time.”

An agriculture use designation means the owner doesn’t have to get a permit and doesn’t have to meet more stringent residential building codes. Ultimately, the owner spends less money on construction and pays lower property taxes than if the building were designated a residence or business.

By April 2014, electricity was being installed in the building and a county codes official visited for an electrical inspection.

The inspector, Pat Wempe, discovered interior framing and wiring for bedrooms and other living space that covered half of the building.

“This is not an ag building,” Wempe wrote in his report. “It is a 2 bedroom home with kitchen, bath,

done before a building permit was issued. In his interview with the Journal-World, in discussing his plumbing inspection, Sherman said Kobach and the plumber were on site, they ran tests and the plumber left before Sherman arrived. Sherman approved the plumbing.

Kobach was not required to dig up the concrete for an inspection.

Wempe’s notes on his one visit to the Kobach property were relatively detailed. Sherman’s notes were relatively sparse, sometimes only one word: “passed.”

Weinaug said the county’s building officer can decide how detailed reports should be and whether the owner needs to dig up the floor for the plumbing to be inspected.

On Sept. 2, Sherman conducted the final inspection and wrote “passed” without comment.

He then issued the certificate of occupancy even though Kobach was not yet hooked up to an approved water source such as a water main or well.

A certificate of occupancy is a document issued by a government agency that certifies a The director takes over building is in compliance After Wempe filed his with building codes and report, Kobach obtained is in suitable condition to a building permit.

Sherman, the new department director, took over the case and performed all subsequent inspections between late June and early September. He did that at Weinaug’s direction, Weinaug said.

In his notes in the inspection file, Sherman noted that work on under-slab plumbing and rough-in plumbing was laundry.”

Kobach told the inspector he had done the wiring inside the building with advice from a church friend, Wempe’s report said. Kobach had hired an electrician to hook up the meter and for panel installation, the report said.

Plumbing also had been installed and buried under a concrete floor without an inspection, the report said.

Kobach “claimed that it could not be a house because he could not get rural water because he was at the end of the line and they would not allow any more meters ...,” Wempe wrote in his report.

Wempe said he did not do a complete inspection except for the electricity, and he wrote, “There are code violations with the installation as it is.”

He explained to Kobach that a number of inspections were needed and that “everything to be inspected is required to be open for inspection and this could cause a problem” with the plumbing under the slab, the report said.

Kobach had not installed a sanitary septic system, the report said.

be lived in.

Weinaug and Sherman said they believe the county’s building officer has the discretion to issue a certificate of occupancy even though Kobach’s residence is not compliant with county codes.

Sherman said Kobach is using a cistern, a tank that holds water, but has a plan to hook up to a water main later this summer.

“The decision of issuance of that occupancy permit is within the discretion of the building official,” Weinaug said.

“So our building official made the determination that since (Kobach) had a plan to hook up to rural water, that a temporary arrangement with the cistern was adequate until that was done. Again that is within the discretion of the building official.”

Sherman was put on the case, Weinaug said, so that Kobach would be treated fairly.

“I had some specific concerns that Kobach was being treated in a way that reflected the political biases of the inspector,” Weinaug said.

“I specifically asked Jim to take over the handling of that inspection to make sure that Mr. Kobach was treated just like everybody else and not in an onerous way.”

Wempe told the Journal-World he was surprised to hear that he expressed a political bias.

He said he doesn’t pay attention to politics.

“If I had to say, I would say I was probably a conservative Republican,” Wempe said. “But I don’t think I have a political bias toward anyone. That is just not true.”

He had no further comment.

Kobach’s ‘barndo’ Kobach told the Journal-World earlier this month that he someday plans to build a house on the property. In the meantime, he said, he uses the barn-residence to visit and stay occasionally.

“Basically, it’s sort of a small office, a place where you have a bathroom and a kitchenette, a small bedroom, if a person needs to spend the night there,” he said.

The appeal On May 7, county resident Laura Green filed an appeal with the board of construction codes appeals. She says that the rules weren’t correctly applied to Kobach in two ways: The county gave his property a low valuation that resulted in a relatively low permit cost, and it failed to assess a required penalty fee for his beginning to build without a permit.

The cost of a building permit is based on the value of the building.

Green says the county’s value of Kobach’s building, set by Sherman, was below normal and resulted in a “favorable and low fee to the owners.”

“It is inconceivable that the 1250 sq/ft living space inside the total 2500 sq/ ft building could be valued at only $70K,” the appeal said. Green’s appeal points out that the county appraiser has found the value of the building to be $145,000.

Sherman said he relied on figures that Kobach presented to him.

“I just agreed with his valuation,” Sherman said.

Weinaug said before the Kobach case, there had been cases where valuations seemed high.

Weinaug said he issued a new directive in computing the value to try to Please see APPEAL, page 5A

Staff Reports

The position of Kansas Public Radio general manager has remained open all school year, and Kansas University says hiring someone for the position is not imminent.

“At present, a search committee is being sought out, and there’s not a firm timeline,” university spokeswoman Erinn Barcomb-Peterson said this week.

Steve Kincaid, KPR’s director of engineering, is leading the station in the interim, Barcomb-Peter-

son said.

KPR general manager Janet Campbell, also director of the Kansas Audio-Reader Network, retired in September.

Campbell had been general manager of KPR and its precursor, KANU-FM, since 1998, following a year and a half as interim general manager.

KU owns KPR’s broadcast license and operates the station as part of its outreach and service mission, according to the KPR website.

make it more fair.

“We worked out another method,” Weinaug said. “So on this one (Kobach), you will probably find it was lower than the subsequent ones, but this was (Sherman’s) first shot at my directive to him. It’s better to have it on the low side than higher than it should be.”

Green also objects to Sherman’s decision not to fine Kobach for building without a permit. The county code calls for a fine equal to the building permit fee, meaning those who start to build without the permit have to pay twice as much as those who get the permit first as required.

Green wrote in her appeal that she had taken this action for “reasons of fairness in local government. I claim that the true intent of the applicable codes have been incorrectly interpreted by the chief building official.”

Green said if Sherman does have the discretion to exempt owners from fines and produce lower valuations, she was unaware of it.

“If the building official has this discretion, then it has not been communicated to the public,” she told the Journal-World.

“We all should be following the same set of criteria.”

Last week, Sherman sent Green a notice that she had no standing to appeal because she was not the person seeking the permit, based on the county attorney’s legal opinion.

Green said Friday that she questioned Sherman’s ability to deny the appeal before it was presented to the appeals board. She said Sherman had given her contact information for the appeals board members and she intended to send her appeal directly to them.

ed the construction he didn’t know he needed a building permit, and got caught by a county inspector in April 2013 and was told he would have to get one.

Brulez was “well into it” with the construction when the inspector showed up, he said.

“They weren’t going to allow me to do anything without it being approved,” Brulez said.

Brulez had to pay a fine, 100 percent of the cost of the building permit, as required by the code. He had to dig up his floor for inspection of plumbing underneath. He said he spent thousands of dollars tearing apart the structure bringing it up to code. He had to hire an engineer and has multiple pages of blueprints and plans for the building. Kobach’s construction plan in the county file, in contrast, is handdrawn on a single 8-by10-inch sheet of paper.

Brulez said once he understood he needed the permit, he believed he had been treated fairly by the county.

When told that Kobach didn’t pay a fine or have to dig up the floor for plumbing inspection, Brulez said: “Wow, how did (Kobach) get by with that? They were pretty tough on me.”

Weinaug said he believes Brulez was singled out and treated unfairly, and it’s because of him in part that Weinaug said he decided to implement a new direction for the codes department.

While the county’s new approach to violations was never put into writing, Weinaug and Sherman say they agreed verbally that the policy would be a dramatic change in the way building codes are enforced in Douglas County.

Weinaug said he was able to set the new direction without the County Commission’s authorization because he believes the county’s building officer has wide discretion to determine whether a builder is in compliance.

He did acknowledge that failing to assess fines might not be allowable.

“If that was done improperly that’s my responsibility,” Weinaug said.

Stephen Lane, a Lawrence architect and the chairman of the Douglas County board of construction codes appeals, said he was unaware of the county’s new direction.

“I’m surprised,” Lane said. “I would think that any design professional would have been aware of it and especially those of us on the board of construction appeals.

“I’m not aware of anyone else who hasn’t had to pay double fees when they tried to build something without a permit,” he said. “I’m not aware of anyone else who has not had to meet the codes be-

fore being issued an occupancy permit. This is new to me.”

Not just Kobach Weinaug said he began talking about a change in approach on code enforcement three years ago with Sherman’s predecessor, Keith Dabney.

Dabney, a 20-year county employee, left the department in May 2012 after being placed on administrative leave. At the time Weinaug declined to discuss specifics because it

was a personnel matter.

Linda Finger was an interim director and was in charge during the Brulez case. The method used on his case, she said, was the same that had been in place for years. Sherman came on board Feb. 28, 2014, and changing the focus of the department was a goal Weinaug set for him, Weinaug said.

The issue, said Assistant County Administrator Sarah Plinsky, was that enforcement had been inconsistent. Some builders got a “How can we help? How can we be proactive?” approach from county officials, and others got a more punitive approach, she said.

“So in an effort to try to create a consistent approach that we wanted to have moving forward, we wanted to create a culture of customer service, a culture of being proactive, a culture of trying to get people into compliance as opposed to punishing them with fines and fees that were inconsistently applied.

You understand why we would not want fines and fees to be inconsistently applied,” Plinsky said.

In an interview May 7 Plinsky offered to provide examples of other builders who were shown a more helpful enforcement effort before Kobach’s residence in the barn came to light, but the Journal-World does not yet have those examples.

Service CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Bittlingmayer is the one they call on to help them.

For this United Way of Douglas County Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer, spontaneous volunteering is just a way of life. Bittlingmayer’s list of official volunteer activities is a long one. She serves as a Stephen Minister at Plymouth Congregational Church, providing one-on-one listening for people going through challenges like the death of a loved one, addiction, job loss or depression.

She is also a leader and sponsor with Al-Anon.

And she volunteers at Ten Thousand Villages, a free trade retail store.

But even longer is the list of her unofficial volunteer work: daily acts of kindness and compassion. When she is not at work at Brandon Woods,

Baker CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lambert recalled many of the same details Saturday at a dedication of the chapel to mark the 150th anniversary of its construction in 1864 and opening in 1865. After Lambert’s remarks, Baker President Lynne Murray noted his list of those who helped with the project omitted one key participant: himself. She then surprised him with the naming of the chapel’s sanctuary as the Daniel M. Lambert Sanctuary.

A humbled Lambert said after the ceremony he was honored that his name was now associated with the Osbornes at the chapel. He was involved with many projects during his career, but had a greater emotional attachment to the Osborne Chapel move, he noted.

In his Thursday recounting of the project, Lambert said his decision to find an old English church to bring to Baker was born partly out of necessity. When he arrived at Baker in 1987 for what would be a 19-year tenure as the school’s president, the university was without a chapel and used a performance hall in its musical arts building for worship functions. With the appointment of the school’s first university minister in 1989, there was agreement it was time to address that absence at a school associated with the United Methodist Church. But rather than build a new chapel, Lambert’s idea was to buy and relocate to Baldwin City one of the “redundant” Methodist country churches in England, which were no longer used but cost the church to maintain.

His first step in that effort was to ask Dean Bevan to scout potential chapels when he was selected as Baker’s first faculty rep-

. where she is a speech pathologist, she’s reaching out to others who are going through hard times, offering a listening ear, words of encouragement or help in a bind.

“Today, I started my day at 7:30 with breakfast with someone I am helping through the Stephen Ministry at my church,” Bittlingmayer said. “This afternoon I have an older friend and she doesn’t have a car, and we are going out for coffee. It’s two hours of volunteer work, but in a way I enjoy and can fit into my life. How hard is that?”

“Beth Ann awaits no job description as she goes about creating a more livable community for those around her. She identifies needs and opportunities and takes initiative and follows through,” said Rich Minder, collaborative projects coordinator for the Success By 6 Coalition of Douglas County, who selected Bittlingmayer for the Outstand-

ing Volunteer Award.

She was one of 29 area volunteers who was awarded this distinction in April.

In addition, Bittlingmayer has been named a Strengthening Families Ambassador by the Douglas County Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Task Force, Minder said, for providing a steady presence supporting parents with protective factors that help increase positive outcomes for children and make parenting

more successful.

“Loneliness kills. Faceto-face contact makes us happier, healthier and smarter,” Minder said.

“Beth Ann provides a compassionate ear to those who grieve, a concrete support to families who need a helping hand, a fun and enriching relationship for children, and solid friendship to relieve the pain of loneliness.”

Bittlingmayer knows firsthand the power of human connection to help people move through hard times and find healing. Within the span of a few months, she suffered the death of three family members and the serious illness of a fourth. “A lot of my healing came through spending time with these kids,” she said, gesturing out her door to her neighborhood at Delaware Street Commons. “Today, as a consequence, I am a lot healthier and happier.

I certainly have gotten as much as I have given.”

resentative to Harlaxton College, the British campus of the University of Evansville, with which Baker has had an affiliation since 1989.

“Dean was very conscientious about that and sent me photographs of several Methodist churches,” Lambert said. “Some time about a year later, I was visiting the Harlaxton program and looked at several of the churches Dean had found, confirming his judgment the Sproxton church was the nicest of the lot.”

A local boy made good provided the money in 1864 to build the church for the Sproxton Methodist congregation, who had been meeting in the homes of members since it was founded in 1803, Lambert said. The church was constructed from locally quarried ironstone, a sedimentary rock with a red tint from its high iron content, fancier than most of the bare-bones country churches English Methodist built, Lambert said.

As in the United States, times changed in post-war England to the detriment of rural communities. The Sproxton Methodist congregation had its last service in church in 1988.

“It had been closed for several years when it came to our attention,” Lambert said. “I was surprised how quickly it had deteriorated.”

Osborne, known for his many charitable donations in his hometown of Olathe, including the grounds for MidAmerican Nazarene University, never forgot about the project he first thought impractical.

When Lambert met with him after his initial proposal, Osborne would often ask how the project was progressing, while adding he couldn’t contribute at that time. Then, in early 1995, Osborne said he would donation half of the $1 million needed.

“The following Christmas he called and said, ‘I’ve

been thinking about this.

I’ll do the whole thing,’” Lambert said. “Needless to say, that was a very merry Christmas.”

Negotiations to buy the church were complicated by objections of preservationists still upset with the relocation of London Bridge to Arizona, Lambert said. The proposal did have the enthusiastic support of British Methodists excited about the prospect of a second life at an American Methodist university.

“The preservationists never approved the move, but we did manage to get the approval of other politicians,” Lambert said.

Next came the complicated process of dismantling the church in Sproxton, shipping the stones, roof tiles and miscellaneous parts about 5,000 miles to Baldwin City by ship and truck, and reassembling it.

“There were all these pallets of stone, all numbered so they could be placed,” Lambert said. “I always worried they wouldn’t get it right. We are indebted to some talented artists on this side of the ocean who knew how to put it together.”

Among those attending the 1996 dedication was former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, whose father Alf Roberts sometimes preached at the Sproxton church as a lay minister.

Church archives, which came with the purchase of the church, listed when he preached, how many were in attendance and how much money was collected during those Sundays.

“So much related to the chapel focuses around Lady Thatcher’s involvement,” Lambert said. “It’s wonderful, but we had no idea when we were negotiating that it had such close ties to her and her family.

“Some of the villagers remember her and her father coming from Nottingham to preach. To them, she was not Prime Minister Marga-

ret Thatcher or Lady Margaret, but Maggie.”

About 20 residents of Sproxton or those with ties to the village joined Thatcher at the dedication, including a few surviving members of the congregation, Lambert said.

“We hosted a breakfast for those folks the morning of the dedication before we went over to the chapel,” he said. “I walked over with Annie Potts, one of the surviving members of the congregation. The campus wasn’t nearly as attractive as it is now, but Annie stopped and looked at the chapel. She said, ‘Oh my, it’s so much more beautiful than at home.’ That was absolutely true.”

The chapel continued to have a special hold on the benefactor who made it possible. Osborne, who died at the age of 97 in 2001, frequently made unannounced visits to the chapel.

“I think, honestly, it was a very special project for him, not only because his wife’s name is on it, but also because he was a very spiritual person,” Lambert said. “Not too long after the facility was finished, we were sitting two or three rows back during a service.

He turned around to look at the place over his shoulder and said, ‘You know, Dan. Money doesn’t mean anything, but just look at this.’

That was a moment to remember.”

He had a right to be proud, Lambert said. The chapel is home to Baker’s Thursday morning interdenominational services, concerts, special events, a popular wedding venue for Baker graduates and a tourist attraction.

“I will say the impact that chapel had was immediate and clearly lasting,” Lambert said. ”It’s an ongoing symbol of one of the important values of this institution, that is the life of the spirit and the history and tradition of the faith.”

KU set for graduation day

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

It’s graduation day at Kansas University.

KU has announced nearly 4,550 candidates for degrees, representing 87 Kansas counties, 46 other states and 43 other countries.

More than 4,000 members of the class of 2015 are expected to participate in today’s 143rd Commencement ceremony at Memorial Stadium, according to KU. Dozens of individual department events already took place Friday and Saturday.

Today, the traditional procession — at KU, that’s the graduates’ walk through the Memo-

Crisis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“We do a lot of screening because we’re dealing with situations that are often life or death and we need to make sure our people are capable of handling those situations,� Brown said.

Filmmaker Bob Hurst aimed to capture that training process in his upcoming documentary, “The Listeners.�

Hurst, who teaches in Kansas University’s de- Brown partment of film and media studies, said the documentary focuses on an upcoming group of volunteers at Headquarters.

The documentary’s title is a nod to those who sit at one end of a telephone, helping anonymous people through emotional and distressing situations, Hurst said. “These are young kids doing this,� Hurst said. “They’re volunteering and training to talk to someone who might be standing on a train track waiting for the next train to come.�

Hurst said a friend suggested he make a documentary focusing on a crisis center in early 2013.

He started filming later that year.

With 150 hours of footage awaiting the editorial process, Hurst said the project needs financing.

rial Campanile and down “the Hill� — will be from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The program will be from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Gates to Memorial Stadium open at 9 a.m. for guests. Tickets are not required.

Free parking will be available throughout campus. Free shuttle buses will run from 8:30 a.m. today until one hour after the ceremony concludes.

The route passes Memorial Stadium, Jayhawk Boulevard, Learned Hall, Burge Union, Ambler Student Recreation Center, Murphy Hall and the Kansas Union.

Memorial Drive will be closed to all traffic today.

The ceremony will

be broadcast live inside Woodruff Auditorium on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union and online at commencement.ku.edu.

In case of rain, KU will make an announcement at 9 a.m. online at alert. ku.edu and through other media channels. If weather begins to clear by late morning, KU will attempt to hold a postponed ceremony at 12:30 p.m., for which graduates should assemble on Memorial Drive at noon.

For more information on commencement, including a complete list of departmental ceremonies, visit commencement.ku.edu. On social media, follow the hashtag #KUgrads.

Hoping to finish the film by the end of September, in time to meet submission deadlines for several major film festivals, Hurst said he began a Kickstarter campaign.

The campaign, which ends June 12, aims to raise $19,100 to help hurry the editorial process and pay for graphic production and music. “We’d like to have a rough cut

by June/July, then a final cut by August/September.

We’ve already got a composer working on the score,�

Hurst said. “But Kickstarter is really high risk. It’s an all-or-nothing thing. You either make the goal and get the money, or you don’t and you get nothing.�

While Hurst said his film does center on Headquarters, he hopes the bigger picture brings national crisis centers further into the spotlight. “It’s also about crisis hotlines in the U.S. and how effective they can be,� he said. “They’re incredibly effective and (Headquarters) is something for Lawrence to be proud of because they have a crisis center that’s been around for 45 years, doing really great work. It’s a very valuable resource.�

Drew Harger appears in Hurst’s documentary.

He said he has volunteered at Headquarters since November 2013.

Shedding light on crisis centers is great for the organizations, but better

for those in need, Harger said.

Each year, Headquarters receives as many as 25,000 calls seeking help, Brown said. Not every person is suicidal. Infidelity, drug use, depression and other types of self-harm are also common topics.

Each call is anonymous and can last anywhere from 10 minutes to well over an hour, Brown said.

And the more people are aware of their services, the more people the organization can help.

This logic applies not only to Headquarters, Harger said, but to crisis centers across the country.

Each volunteer has their own specific motivation for offering their time to a crisis center, Harger said. Some are survivors of suicide, other simply yearn to help the less fortunate.

Regardless of their reasons, Harger said the benefits far outweigh the cost of admission. Just as he’s sure he’s made an impact on the lives of his callers, volunteering has left a lasting impression on him. “There are several specific calls I’ll remember even long after I’m gone,� he said. “Where the way I heard the caller’s voice change from the beginning of the call to the end of the call really let me know what I was doing was working.�

Enjoy great seating options now!

Controlling husband hinders business loans Dear Annie: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to start a small business, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid to mingle my finances with my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

We have a house, which is paid off and in both of our names. I have money in my retirement account and about $10,000 in savings. When I spoke to a banker about using home equity for a down payment on a small business, the banker said my husband would have to sign the papers.

Annie, my husband is very controlling when it comes to money. In the past, I was so ignorant. I mingled my money with his, and we purchased some properties together. He immediately claimed that the idea to purchase was his and that he knew best how to handle the properties.

He always knows everything.

Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

How can I start my business without his partnership? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carol in Columbus, Oh. Dear Carol: If the house is in both of your names, you must have your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature to use it as equity.

In order to avoid this, you would need a separate source of equity or someone else willing to loan you money (a family member or friend).

But first, we recommend looking into small-business loans for women

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; era comes to a close TVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;? (9 p.m., AMC) era ends tonight. Why does it seem like it happened, or should have happened, two years back? The significance of this beautifully produced series cannot be understated. It demonstrated how even a fairly overlooked network like AMC could compete with HBO for quality material and redefine its image and fortunes in the process, going on to air critical hits (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;?) and ratings blockbusters (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Walking Deadâ&#x20AC;?).

Best appreciated for its attention to mid-century fashion and interior decor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;? has always straddled the line between serious drama and mere soap opera. Last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s episode ladled out doses of both. Sallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis was as poignant as it was understated. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced Oklahoma hiatus had the hallmarks of a Raymond Carver story. But Peteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to re-woo his exwife were straight out of â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the World Turns.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;? has run its course at about the time that the Don Drapers of the world were beginning to feel like dinosaurs.

Last week, he was listening to Merle Haggardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okie From Muskogee.â&#x20AC;? In his dreams!

Some may define the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mad Menâ&#x20AC;? era by narrow ties, fedoras and sexism. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a period marinated in booze. And Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bender has gone on too long, leaking into a culture redefined by other stimulants. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curious that we last saw Don at a bus stop, having relinquished his Cadillac, and perhaps his past, to a budding young con man. While 1970s pop culture may be lurching toward â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jonathan Livingston Seagull,â&#x20AC;? 1950s Don Draper wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there for it.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the Road.â&#x20AC;?

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

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Love Lucy Superstar Specialâ&#x20AC;? (7 p.m., CBS) presents two colorized episodes of the 1950s comedy.

Beware of Sand Snakes on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Game of Thronesâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., HBO).

The nurses stage a walkout on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nurse Jackieâ&#x20AC;? (8 p.m., Showtime).

Thom feels the brunt of the Swedes on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happyishâ&#x20AC;? (8:30 p.m., Showtime).

entrepreneurs. Check the U.S. Small Business Administration website at sba.gov for information on loans and grants specifically for women.

Dear Annie: I feel the need to respond to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Desperate,â&#x20AC;? the disabled woman with children whose mother wants to provide a house for her, but her sister resents it.

Decades ago, my husband and I wanted to provide a home for one of our daughters, who has a permanent disability and most likely will never be able to find a stable job. This property is and will remain in our names until our deaths.

Her siblings are grateful that their sister has a home. They also understand that our wills state that this property belongs to her upon our deaths, and remaining disbursements do not

include the house.

On the rare times any perceived inequality has been mentioned by the siblings, we have asked them whether they would like to trade places with their sister, locked into a life dependent on disability income, unable to provide for herself. It stops the conversation cold.

I hope my letter helps â&#x20AC;&#x153;Desperateâ&#x20AC;? and her mother make this important move to protect her. They are in a fortunate position and should move forward regardless of the pressure from the demanding and selfish sister, who, it seems, does not appreciate her own good fortune. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Secure in Our Decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbox, P.O.

Wreck highlights infrastructure needs

By Michael Smerconish The Philadelphia Inquirer

Elected Kansas leaders aren’t inspiring much confidence in their ability to handle the state’s budget crisis.

“L

awmakers express frustration as end of session approaches,” read a headline in Friday’s Journal-World.

Lawmakers should rest assured they are not alone in their frustration.

On Thursday, after watching members of the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee pick apart a tax proposal to help close a $400 million budget gap for next year, the committee’s chairman, Les Donovan, R-Wichita, adjourned the meeting without even taking a vote on the bill. Both the committee and the rest of the Senate decided to adjourn until Monday so they could see what would happen during a House floor debate on tax legislation on Friday.

The answer was: nothing. During about two hours of debate on Friday, the House made no progress on closing the budget hole. House members soundly rejected a plan that would have raised the state sales tax and eliminated or reduced most itemized deductions that Kansans who still pay income tax can claim. They also refused to consider revisons to the full income tax exemption created in 2012 for business owners in the state.

So, on the 89th day of what is supposed to be a 90-day legislative session, members of both the House and Senate gave up and went home with only a vague notion that things might be better on Monday.

Both Republicans and Democrats were frustrated by the Legislature’s financial stalemate. Rep. Tom Sloan, RLawrence, told the Journal-World that the House leadership “has no exit strategy.” Sen. Tom Holland, a Baldwin City Democrat, noted a lack of leadership on budget issues from both the governor and legislative leaders. “I’m not convinced that Senate leadership has a strategy to get out of here,” he said.

Donovan seemed to confirm that judgment when he dismissed the Taxation Committee, saying “obviously we are going down a dead-end street.”

The state of Kansas is facing a financial crisis, and the apparent inability of the governor and lawmakers to deal with that situation is causing another crisis: a crisis of confidence in the state government.

Kansans who are trying to follow what’s going on in Topeka are frustrated by the lack of a clear strategy and the quick turnarounds on issues ranging from Uber to local election schedules. Many Kansans have simply given up and are hoping for the best and/or expecting the worst.

Our elected state representatives don’t have the option of just giving up.

Before they can end the current legislative session, they are required by law to pass a balanced budget. Unfortunately, at this point, it’s hard to have much confidence in them coming up with a plan that is good for the state.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 17, 1915: “‘Canker worms are working havoc on the beautiful shade trees years and it is time that the people of ago Lawrence were awakening to the IN 1915 situation and doing something to stop the ruinous work of the numerous small insects.’ This statement was made by one of Lawrence’s most prominent citizens today after he had been in several parts of the town and had seen the ruin they have already made of many of the trees …”

Regardless of any human error, it didn’t have to happen.

That’s the takeaway from the Amtrak 188 catastrophe.

Even if evidence suggests that the engineer caused the train to travel 106 mph in a 50 mph zone, technology has existed for years that could have prevented this accident. But like so much of our needed infrastructure repairs, it’ll be a day late and dollar short.

The Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System, a form of which is called Positive Train Control technology, could have ensured that eight deaths and more than 200 injuries didn’t occur, but it has yet to be installed in the critical area in Philadelphia where Amtrak 188 jumped the tracks while traversing a significant curve. This form of PTC has existed for years and was supposed to have been installed throughout the Northeast Corridor by the end of this year, but that still might not happen given that several bills which could delay implementation are currently pending in Congress.

Robert Sumwalt, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board who is investigating the crash, could not have been more clear when on Wednesday he said: “And so we have called for Positive Train Control for many, many years. It’s on our most-wanted list. Congress has mandated that it be installed by the end of this year.

So we are very keen on Positive Train Control. Based on what we know right now, we feel that had such a system been installed in this section of track, this accident would not have occurred.”

Design problem That observation is no surprise to former Gov. Ed Rendell, who had infrastructure on the brain since the train left the tracks. While carefully saying the cause of the accident was still not fully known, the morning after he shared with me what he believed to be the deficiency in our current design.

“We need a dedicated high-speed rail line, that is straight as an arrow, that has no other trains on it, no commuter trains, no freight trains, and we’ve gotta pay for it,” he said. “People understand in life, you get what you pay for. If you buy a $10,000 car, you don’t get a

“

In comparison to other aspects of our infrastructure, rail is not so bad. In its most recent (2013) ranking, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the U.S. infrastructure an overall assessment of D-plus.” car as good as a $30,000 car.

It’s as simple as that.”

Rendell cited statistics from the World Economic Forum that he said speak to America’s slippage in our worldwide standing with regard to infrastructure.

“We’re behind countries like Malaysia. It’s a disgrace. It’s an embarrassment,” he said.

A low priority The lack of resolve that concerns the former mayor of Philadelphia is supported in one assessment of the 2016 contenders for president. As of the time of the Amtrak 188 crash, eight major-party candidates had declared their presidential ambitions.

Each has an official website, and five of them addressed issues on their site. Only one — Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., — offered anything regarding infrastructure. (Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, gave examples of his voting record, none of which included votes on infrastructure. Hillary Clinton and Carly Fiorina had yet to publish their

platforms online.) Sanders touted his recent sponsorship of a six-year, $478 billion infrastructure investment that was defeated in a Senate vote, 52-45.

Had you visited RandPaul.com/issues at the time of the crash, you would have seen his stance on enforcing term limits for “career politicians.” Over at MarcoRubio.com/issues, there was information about why he thinks defense spending must grow. BenCarson.com/ issues displayed the political neophyte’s belief that Gitmo should remain open.

Indeed, each of the GOP contenders offers a view regarding Second Amendment rights, cutting the federal debt, and support for Israel, and plenty have had something to say on the stump about the Founding Fathers. But like most of their Democratic counterparts, when it comes to the foundation upon which our nation is built — roads, bridges and dams — there has been silence up until now.

Scary assessment Here’s something equally scary: In comparison to other aspects of our infrastructure, rail is not so bad. In its most recent (2013) ranking, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave the U.S. infrastructure an overall assessment of D-plus.

Our rail system warranted a C-plus, and all of the following received lesser evaluations: roads, airports, dams, drinking water, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, ports, public parks and

recreation, schools, transit and wastewater.

Like everything else, many seek to use infrastructure to further the partisan divide.

And it’s true that the Amtrak accident occurred while the House Appropriations Committee was in the midst of cutting Amtrak’s funding to $1.13 billion from roughly $1.4 billion, despite ridership reaching an all-time high in 2014 along the Northeast Corridor.

According to the Brookings Institution, Amtrak’s ridership increased by 55 percent from 1997 to 2013 and continues to reach annual record highs.

“The Republican budget will cut the transportation funding in general, not just Amtrak, by 22 percent,” Rendell said. “Cut? This is a time when we ought to be investing in a long-term 10-year infrastructure vitalization program for the country, for public safety, for economic competitiveness, for the middle-class well-paying jobs that we’d create, for so many different reasons, but everyone is scared to vote for revenue.”

He’s right. But there’s plenty of blame to go around. Neither party is immune from dereliction of its duty when it comes to our infrastructure.

Hopefully a renewed focus on our core concerns will be a positive outcome from a national embarrassment.

“How much more of this are we going to put up with in the United States of America?” Rendell asked.

Insurance choice leads to charity plea Luis Lang would like you to send him some money.

He has taken to GoFundMe (gofundme.com/s78e9w ), the crowd-funding website, trying to raise $30,000.

Lang, who is 49 and lives in Fort Mill, S.C., is slowly losing his eyesight to diabetes.

Without surgery, he’ll go blind. Those grim facts notwithstanding, some may not find Lang the most sympathetic candidate for charity.

In the first place, as some observers noted after reading about him in a Charlotte Observer story by Ann Doss Helms, he has a $300,000 home and a wife who doesn’t work; why, they ask, can’t he raise the money from them?

In the second place, Lang has had diabetes for years, but has not always followed doctor’s advice to control it.

In the third place, he’s a smoker who is still smoking despite his bleak prognosis.

But there’s a bigger reason some may find it difficult to feel his pain and therein lies a tale. It seems Lang, who is a Republican, knew the Affordable Care Act — the dreaded “Obamacare” — required him to buy health insurance, but he refused to do so. He figured he was making a pretty good living as a self-employed handyman and prided himself on paying his own

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

You see, though he refused to buy coverage, Lang thought it would be available to him in an emergency. … Which is not unlike refusing to buy auto insurance, but expecting Geico to sell you a policy after you total the Toyota.”

medical bills.

Then came 10 days of grinding headaches, an emergency room visit and a diagnosis that he’d suffered a series of mini-strokes. Then came $9,000 in medical bills, an empty savings account, bleeding in his eyes, a partially detached retina and an inability to work.

At which point he tried to buy him some “Obamacare” only to discover that he was outside the open enrollment

period and that with zero income, he makes too little to get a federal subsidy that would help him buy a private policy. “Obamacare” offers expanded Medicaid coverage to help people like him, but South Carolina is one of 21 Republican-led states that have refused to participate in that program.

So Lang is, well ... s------d.

And who does he blame for that state of affairs? Well obviously, it’s President Obama’s fault for passing flawed legislation.

You see, though he refused to buy coverage, Lang thought it would be available to him in an emergency. His wife, Mary, feels he “should be at the front of the line, because he doesn’t work and because he has medical issues.” Which is not unlike refusing to buy auto insurance, but expecting Geico to sell you a policy after you total the Toyota.

Still, if Lang doesn’t exactly tug at your heart like baby seals do, he is getting traction. At this writing, he’s over half way to his goal, most of it raised from liberals taking the occasion to rip his and his party’s failings.

Many skip the donation and go straight to the scorn.

“Sorry,” writes Joel, “I’m way too busy thinking only

about myself.”

“Call Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush,” writes Jeannie, “they have plenty of money.”

“I want to donate enough to really help you out,” writes Ed, “but I can’t figure out how to get GoFundMe to accept bootstraps.”

Lang’s response? “It turned into a political thing,” he complained. “That wasn’t my intention when I reached out.”

But how could it not be political? Lang’s party claimed healthcare reform would send death panels after Nana, that “self-reliance” could cure cancer, that emergency rooms provided all the healthcare poor people need. In a nation of government-funded police, fire departments, schools, libraries and road maintenance, it argued that government-funded healthcare was somehow a moral crime.

Lang apparently bought it all. Now, the bill comes due, and whatever he thought of “Obamacare” as a model for financing healthcare, surely Lang must concede that GoFundMe is even worse. Yet, that’s the fix he finds himself in.

So yes, he’d like you to send him some money. Do what you can.

Baldwin City honors graduates

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @LJWorld

Baldwin City — In her commencement address, Corey Valentine said she could make the customary argument that the Baldwin High School Class of 2015 was the best ever at the school, but opted instead for a different distinction.

“One thing I will argue is the Baldwin High School Class of 2015 is the strongest class to pass through these halls,” the 2014-2015 BHS student body president said. “Our class has been faced with countless hardships. Things nobody should have to go through.

Things we never thought we would survive.”

Valentine went on to cite the physical strength of the class’ state champion track and field throwers, its state champion wrestlers and future college football players, but said more important was the inner strength the class members showed in dealing with family issues and

the deaths of those close to them. That strength was personified in classmate Molly Ogden, who graduated with her class 30 months after a massive stroke robbed her of much of her sophomore year.

“That beautiful girl down there taught us all what it is like to have strength,” Valentine said.

“Molly is likely the strongest person any of us will ever meet.”

Those who packed the Baldwin Junior High School gymnasium for the commencement shared their classmate’s admiration, giving Ogden a standing ovation after she received her diploma, wearing a gold cord given to the top academic graduates.

George McCrary, a 1984 BHS graduate selected by the class to make the commencement address, told the class members that if they didn’t like the labels pinned on them the past 12 years, their graduation was a time to start again with a “clean slate.”

“Let go of the old habits.

Let go of the old labels,” he said.

That is what he did with the help of such teachers and coaches as Mary Jane Chubb, Merle Venable and Ted Zuzzio, McCrary said.

He overcame an early condition that put him in braces to become an athlete at the school and now the owner of the Baldwin Athletic Club.

“I’ve watched you grow up,” he said. “You will be fine, but you must have a never-give-up attitude. “ After the ceremony, 2015 class member Emma Grossner said it was an emotional day as she said goodbye to so many friends.

“I feel like we are all one big family,” she said. “We all care so much for each other.”

Grossner is going to Baker University next year, where her father is the head football coach. She’ll run cross country and track.

“A few of my classmates are going there, too,” she said. “That makes it nice.”

U.S. special operations forces carried out a major raid deep inside eastern Syria, killing a senior Islamic State leader who oversees illicit oil production and capturing his wife, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said Saturday.

Carter said Abu Sayyaf, also known as Mohammed Shalabi, “was killed during the course of the operation when he engaged U.S. forces.”

He said none of the American troops was killed or injured dur-

ing the raid.

Although Sayyaf was not taken alive, U.S. forces did capture some of his communications equipment, sources familiar with the operation told CNN. A U.S. defense official said the raid was conducted overnight Friday (Friday evening Washington time) by a team of Army Delta Force commandos who flew from Iraq into eastern Syria aboard V-22 Osprey aircraft and Blackhawk helicopters, the Associated Press reported.

Upon arrival at the target, a multi-story building, the Americans met stiff resistance.

A “fairly intense firefight” ensued, including hand-to-hand

combat, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the raid by name.

Abu Sayyaf “was killed during the course of the operation when he engaged U.S. forces.”

Taxis vs. ride shares As Uber thrives, big-city cabbies see medallions become much less salable Aamer Madhani USA TODAY

Until recently in America’s big cities, purchasing a taxi medallion — the city-issued license to operate cabs — was about as sound an investment as they come.

But with the rise of Uber and other ride-sharing services, the value of taxi medallions is plummeting, leading cabbies and fleet owners throughout the USA worrying that their industry will be decimated if local and state governments don’t intervene.

“I have had a pretty successful thing,” said Gary Karczewski, 65, a Chicago cabbie who inherited his medallion from his father 28 years ago and earned enough to

Recent prices of taxi medallions in New York City:

“There’s zero market (for taxi medallions). ... There isn’t any financing available.”

Charles Goodbar, a Chicago attorney who helps secure loans for medallion owners

purchase two homes and help send his two daughters to college by driving the equivalent of 80 times around the world. “My hope was to wind down soon and give whatever I could sell the medallion for to my mother. But I am not confident there’s a market now.”

In Chicago, which has the country’s second-biggest fleet with roughly 7,000 taxis, the median sale price for a medallion hovered around $70,000 in 2007 before reaching a peak of $357,000 in late 2013.

Since reaching that high point more than a year ago, the value of medallions in the Windy City has sharply declined and sales have ground to a near halt — with the city recording only seven medallion transfers in the first quarter of 2015 — as the median sale price fell to about $270,000.

Richmond, Va., was named the USA’s “sneeziest, wheeziest” city, according to a report out last week from the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group.

The report details the top 35 U.S. cities most vulnerable to the combination of pollen and ozone pollution and warns that climate change is leading to worsening levels of allergy and asthma.

“Americans deserve to breathe clean air, but today millions of us are sneezing and wheezing from allergies and asthma worsened by climate change-fueled ragweed pollen and ozone smog pollution,” said Juan Declet-Barreto, the lead author of the report, which did not appear in a peer-reviewed journal.

In all, 109 million Americans are at risk of the potent double whammy of bad ozone and high pollen counts, the report said.

Feds order speed controls on Northeast Amtrak trains FBI probes possible broken windshield Doug Stanglin and Michael Winter USA TODAY

The Federal Railroad Administration on Saturday ordered Amtrak to take immediate steps to employ new speed control technology throughout the Northeast Corridor in the wake of the recent devastating derailment in Philadelphia.

The agency outlined the orders to Amtrak on Facebook and said

it would formalize its action in an emergency order.

The orders call on Amtrak to employ Automatic Train Control (ATC) technology, now in use on southbound trains in the Northeast Corridor, on all northbound trains as well.

The PTC technology can detect when a train is traveling above the speed limit and will alert the engineer and apply brakes automatically if the engineer fails to act.

The orders further call for analyzing all curves on the corridor to assess risk and to implement “appropriate technology” in areas where the approach speed for a

Eight people were killed in last week’s derailment of a train that was traveling at too high a speed.

train is significantly higher than the curve speed.

In addition, the railroad agency said Amtrak must increase the

amount and frequency of signs along the track to alert engineers and conductors to the maximum authorized speed throughout the heavy traveled corridor.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said he was issuing the orders even though a full assessment of the derailment was not yet complete.

“The actions we have instructed Amtrak to take are aimed at improving safety on this corridor immediately, but we won’t hesitate to require the railroad to do more to improve safety as the accident’s causes become clearer,” Foxx said.

In last week’s crash, a seven-

car Washington-to-New York Amtrak train jumped the tracks after it inexplicably accelerated from 70 mph to 106 mph as it approached a 50-mph curve at Frankford Junction several minutes after leaving Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station, killing eight people and injuring more than 200.

The FBI has been asked to examine the Amtrak locomotive in question after reports that its windshield may have been broken by an unknown object shortly after a similar report from another commuter train traveling ahead, the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday.

Veteran Chicago cabbie Gary Karczewski said, “My hope was to wind down soon and give whatever I could sell the medallion for to my mother. But I am not confident there’s a market now.”

Taxi industry disrupted v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The steady slide, which also is on display in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and elsewhere, has left many owner-operators and big-fleet managers pessimistic about their once-prized assets.

Cabbies around the country complain that drivers for services like Uber, which use a smartphone app to connect riders with freelancers using their own vehicles, are disrupting the market and have an unfair advantage.

Medallion owners also grumble that ride-share services in many markets aren’t subject to the same rules. Uber’s contract drivers don’t face vehicle inspections that are as stringent, their drivers aren’t required to obtain a chauffeur’s license, and they can adjust their fares based on demand.

The changing landscape has been put into stark relief by the diminishing value of the taxi medallion in once plum markets like New York, where in recent years they proved to offer a better return on investment than gold, oil and real estate.

As a result of the booming value, the vast majority of medallions in big metro areas like New York and Chicago were gobbled up over the past several decades by investors and companies that rent the medallions to drivers.

But times are changing. The upstart Uber, which has a reported valuation of $50 billion, collected more than $750 million in just New York City during its first four years of business there. Investor Carl Icahn announced on Friday that he was making a $100 million investment in Uber rival Lyft, calling the company a “tremendous bargain.”

“What I think has happened is that competition for consumers has not caused a drop in medallion prices, because medallion values in no way are tied to the riding public,” said Uber global policy director Corey Owens.

“What’s happened is that drivers have found they have better opportunities.”

Earlier this month, the Philadelphia Parking Authority, which regulates the city’s taxi industry, sold newly created medallions for wheelchair-accessible taxis for $80,000 each. The bargain price came after the authority put the medallions on the market last fall, with an initial asking price of

The value of taxi medallions in Chicago has sharply declined since 2013 and sales have ground to a near halt. $475,000, but received no bids.

In New York, taxi mogul Evgeny Friedman is locked in a court battle with Citibank, to whom he owes some $31 million after some medallion loans matured.

Citibank is looking to seize 87 of Freidman’s 900 medallions in New York, which has seen medallion prices drop to about $870,000 last fall from a peak of about $1.2 million last spring.

Freidman, the single-biggest medallion owner in the USA, also owns fleets in Chicago, New Orleans and Philadelphia.

In an April letter to creditors, New York taxi commission officials and other stakeholders, Freidman’s attorney, Brett Berman, called on industry regulators and medallion lenders to restructure and extend loans for his client and reform the industry.

“If you want to ensure that the medallion industry nationwide continues to operate, if you want to have services available to riders that don’t have iPhones, if you want to have drivers that are vetted, then there’s going to have to be a major change nationwide and city-by-city in terms of how they’re going about enforcing the rules,” said Ronn Torossian, a spokesman for Freidman.

Even in Nevada, where the taxi industry has fought off attempts

by Uber to establish a beachhead in recent years, there are signs that government resistance to ride-share services is softening.

Last week, the Nevada Senate approved legislation that would create regulations to allow people to hail a ride using a smartphone.

There are other signs that the medallion industry’s vitality is on

an unsteady footing.

Earlier this month, Medallion Financial Group — one of the country’s largest creditors to medallion owners — reported in its financial disclosures that nearly 4.1% of its loans were late 31 days or more in the first three months of 2015, up from 2.2% in the previous quarter.

Charles Goodbar, a Chicago attorney who helps secure loans for medallion owners, said that financing has all but dried up. At the same time, new regulations, as well as competition from ridesharing services, has reduced how much fleet owners in Chicago and elsewhere can lease their vehicles for to cabbies.

“There’s zero market,” said Goodbar, who also owns 59 medallions. “In my case, a buyer would have to come to the table with about $220,000 in cash per medallion, because there isn’t any financing available.”

Ancillary industries are also feeling the pain.

Carriage News, a New England industry newsletter, closed in March, as medallion financing agencies slowed issuing loans,

making advertising unnecessary.

The taxi industry isn’t going out without a fight.

In New York and Chicago, the industry has backed efforts for a universal hailing app in a bid to compete with ride-sharing outfits for riders who prefer the convenience of finding a ride with a couple of taps on their smartphone.

And the trade association Taxicab, Limousine and Paratransit Association has launched a vigorous media nationwide campaign called “Who’s Driving You?” in an attempt to raise questions about Uber and other ride-sharing companies’ safety records. The association maintains a long list of alleged crimes and other embarrassing incidents by Uber drivers and drivers for other ride-sharing outfits.

After the latest high-profile incident last month in Houston, an alleged sexual assault by an Uber driver, the company faced an ultimatum from Mayor Annise Parker to tighten its oversight of drivers or face expulsion from the city.

The company quickly responded with a memo detailing how it planned to bolster vetting and dismiss drivers who aren’t registered In New York, the Taxi and Limousine Commission is weighing a proposal that would create an agency to oversee the implementation of smartphone apps used in the taxi industry.

Under the proposal, the smartphone app operators would be required to get approval before modifying their apps or face fines — a regulation that a powerful coalition of Silicon Valley companies told New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio would stifle innovation.

“While we do not develop software for transportation providers, we are gravely concerned by the unprecedented decision to subject software available around the world to pre-release review by a city agency,” wrote the Internet Association, the tech coalition that includes Facebook, Google and Twitter.

While more regulation for ride-sharing companies may be inevitable, many medallion owners say that their best days are now in the rearview mirror.

“It’s now become a race to the bottom,” said Karczewski, the Chicago medallion owner.

Egypt’s deposed president Mohammed Morsi raises his hands behind the defendant’s cage Saturday.

The then-leader of the Muslim Brotherhood movement was elected president in 2012 after the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak.

The Egyptian military deposed Morsi in 2013 following a series of street protests against his rule.

In May 2014, Morsi’s successor, former military chief Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who led the coup, won a landslide victory in presidential elections.

The Muslim Brotherhood was banned and its supporters rounded up by the thousands.

As with all capital punishment cases, the sentence will be sent to the grand mufti, Egypt’s highest authority, for his opinion. Convictions can still be appealed, even if the grand mufti approves the sentencing. A decision is expected on June 2.

Hillary Clinton returns to Iowa on Monday as the Democratic front-runner continues her tour of early-voting states during the opening phase of her presidential campaign.

More news from the world of politics: WASHINGTON

JEB BUSH STRUGGLES WITH IRAQ QUESTION Former Florida governor Jeb Bush struggled throughout the week with a foreign policy question that dominated the politics of the past decade. In an interview that aired Monday, the potential GOP presidential candidate said to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, “I would have [authorized the invasion], and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody.” Later he said he misunderstood the question, arguing it was a “hypothetical.”

By Thursday, he’d settled on his position: “Knowing what we know now, I would have not engaged,” Bush said in Tempe, Ariz. “I would have not gone into Iraq.”

Russ Feingold will run for Senate.

FEINGOLD SEEKS REMATCH Democrat Russ Feingold, a former Wisconsin senator, made it official Thursday. In 2016, he’s challenging Sen. Ron Johnson, the Republican who beat him in 2010. Feingold’s entry makes this a top race to watch in the battle for the Senate. In a video announcing his campaign, Feingold, who served three terms before his 2010 loss, said “strong independence, bipartisanship and honesty” were needed in the Senate. The Republican National Committee wasted little time in responding. “Russ Feingold has a track record of failed ideas that have taken the country in the wrong direction,” Republican National Committee spokesman Fred Brown said.

BILL CLINTON: 3 CONDITIONS FOR RETURN TO WHITE HOUSE Former president Bill Clinton appeared on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ ahead of the legendary late-night host’s retirement this month and laid out the three things that would need to happen for him to return to the White House. “Well, first of all, Hillary has to win the (2016) nomination,” he said. He added she’d then need to win the election. And the final condition?

“If she wins the election, the chances are 100% I’ll move back — if I’m asked. … I hope I’d be invited.”

BOSTON Same-sex marriage is so last decade in Massachusetts.

These days, the earliest pioneers in gay and lesbian matrimony are demonstrating how to raise kids, retire — even divorce.

As the Supreme Court wrestles with what its chief justice last month labeled a redefinition of marriage, the couples who successfully challenged the Bay State’s ban on gay marriage in 2003 are juggling work and retirement, raising kids who turn down Ivy League colleges and holding joyful family reunions.

Their “family,” in this case, includes the 14 original plaintiffs in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health and their children — a generation that, according to opponents of same-sex marriage, is bound to suffer from the absence of biological, two-parent, opposite-sex households.

Don’t tell that to Avery Nortonsmith, a high school senior who recently turned down Yale to study computational neuroscience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He’s proud of the role his parents, the former Heidi Norton and Gina Smith, played in the evolution of gay marriage. “Even though I remember a time when this was new and sort of revolutionary, the idea of having two moms just seems normal to me,” Avery, 18, said last week while spending a sick day at home in Northampton, a liberal bastion in western Massachusetts. “Seeing this happen for me personally has helped give me some faith in the ability of people to effect positive change.”

The Nortonsmiths and their 12 co-plaintiffs celebrated their 11th wedding anniversaries Sunday, the date on which the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court allowed gays and lesbians to wed in 2004. But like many of the couples challenging other states’ gay marriage bans, their relationships date back decades.

Their experiences — in daily living as well as legal wrangling — provide some lessons as the Supreme Court decides whether to take same-sex marriage nationwide. A decision is expected in late June.

LESSON #1 CHANGE ISN’T EASY

Julie and Hillary Goodridge had been a couple for nearly two decades when they married on May 17, 2004. Within two years, they were separated. They divorced in 2009.

The media attention, bused-in opposition and demands on their time played a role in the demise of their marriage. Yet today, the women are close friends who still finish each other’s sentences.

At the moment they were recruited as lead plaintiffs by Mary Bonauto, a leader of the gay marriage movement, Hillary was giving their daughter, Annie, a bath. They thought nothing of putting their adopted name first on the lawsuit.

Turns out it meant everything.

The media descended — “CNN always wanted us in the kitchen,

Heidi and Gina Nortonsmith making pancakes,” Julie recalled during a joint interview last week represent the antithesis of that.

Having won in Marriage Act still imposed recourt, the Goodridges and their strictions until it was struck co-plaintiffs still had to win the down by the Supreme Court in hearts and minds of the state’s 2013. One such roadblock was the government’s refusal to accept residents and lawmakers.

PLANNING FOR PARENTHOOD

One of the arguments used for why states historically sanctioned only opposite-sex marriages is that only men and women can have accidental pregnancies — and therefore need incentives to marry and stay together.

LESSON #3 DISCRIMINATION REMAINS

Rob Compton and David Wilson never could just blend in as a married couple. Compton, 66, is white. Wilson, 71, is black. They both were married to women

Heidi, left, and Gina Nortonsmith were among the first gay couples to marry in 2004 in Massachusetts.

first. Between them, they have five children.

Because they were centrally located in Boston and had employers who supported them, Compton and Wilson became public faces for the same-sex marriage movement. Not everyone appreciated what they saw, especially when the couple traveled out of state. They even received a death threat.

“We are a noticeable gay couple,” Wilson said last week while relaxing in Provincetown, the state’s gay and lesbian mecca.

Now retired, he often stays at their former summer home while Compton works in Boston’s Charlestown section.

“The marriage case opened the door for a great conversation across the country,” Wilson said.

“It has helped to shine a light on the areas of discrimination that were not talked about before marriage,” from jobs and housing to bullying that can lead to suicides.

The animosity they encountered more than a decade ago has faded, however, replaced by acceptance and even conversion.

Now the state’s Republican lieutenant governor, a former opponent, plans to preside at the same-sex wedding of the state’s Democratic state Senate president.

Couples such as Compton and Wilson played a crucial role in the metamorphosis. “We became the example that refuted all the arguments,” Compton said. “God did not send a lightning bolt. The storm clouds all left.”

LESSON #4 THE NEW NORMAL

Perhaps the best thing that has happened to the nation’s first victorious gay marriage plaintiffs is that they are no longer recognized, and their marriages are no longer seen as a big deal.

That’s certainly true for Ellen Wade and Maureen Brodoff, a pair of lawyers who brought the lawsuit over same-sex adoption in the 1990s before joining the gay marriage case in 2001.

Today, they live quietly in the Boston suburb of Newton. Their daughter, Kate, a graduate of Bates College in Maine, lives and works in nearby Brookline.

Despite being together since 1980, their marriage in 2004 was “a learning experience for everyone we encountered,” Wade recalled. But it “became part of the landscape pretty quickly. ... The opposition that had been so vocal just faded away.”

As their fame subsided, Brodoff decided to initiate annual reunions, lest the seven couples lose touch with one another.

Bonauto, herself married in Maine and raising twin daughters, was invited as well.

At first, the gatherings were held in November to commemorate the Nov. 18, 2003, court ruling. Later, they were switched to May, to celebrate the couples’ marriages on May 17, 2004.

This year presents a problem with a ready solution. Brodoff and Wade will be away, so they have delayed the reunion until July — when they hope to have something new to celebrate.

The other couples are looking forward to it. “It’s like a family reunion,” Gina Nortonsmith said, “except without the dysfunction.”

Russian comments cast doubt on Iran nuclear deal Disagreement over sanctions timing Kim Hjelmgaard and Oren Dorell USA TODAY

A major difference between Washington and Moscow over a key term of any deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program was underlined when a Russian official rejected the plan to immediately restore sanctions if Tehran violates the as-yet-unsigned agreement.

Vitaly Chukrin, Russia’s United Nations ambassador, told Bloomberg News last week that “there can be no automaticity, none whatsoever” if Iran is found guilty of reneging on a pledge to dismantle and otherwise contain certain parts of its nuclear en-

richment program. Iran maintains its nuclear ambitions are peaceful and practical, a position disputed by the West.

Churkin did not elaborate on the “no automacity” principle, but a so-called sanctions snapback mechanism whereby economic sanctions would be reimposed on Iran if it fails to comply is seen by Washington as essential for any nuclear deal with the Iran.

President Obama last month said “snapback sanctions if there’s a violation” by Iran should be part of a deal that might provide substantial relief from sanctions upfront, as Iranian leaders demand.

“Our main concern here is making sure that if Iran doesn’t abide by its agreement, that we don’t have to jump through a whole bunch of hoops in order to reinstate sanctions,” Obama said.

Nations negotiating with Iran — Britain, China, France, Russia, United States, Germany — target June 30 to reach a deal.

After Secretary of State John Kerry met Tuesday with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, the American diplomat said the two nations were “closely aligned” in their thinking on the talks.

Churkin’s comments, however, cast doubt on assertions by the Obama administration that Russia has agreed in principle to a snapback measure.

The group of nations negotiat-

The sanctions imposed on Iran by the U.S. and its allies have crippled the Iranian economy and hindered its ability to export lucrative oil onto world markets.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said after the signing of an early framework agreement in

March that “all sanctions should be removed when the deal is signed,” according to Reuters.

Washington has not committed to a precise timing on rolling back the sanctions.

Robert Einhorn, a former nonproliferation expert at the State Department now at the Brookings Institution, said U.S. sanctions are the most consequential against Iran.

Pakistan attack raises alarms Fears rise that sectarian violence may re-emerge in war-spent region Naila Inayat

Special for USA TODAY LAHORE , PAKISTAN Last week’s terrorist attack on a bus that killed scores of minority Shiites is the latest example of sectarian violence and divisions that have grown in Pakistan the past few years as militant groups gain ground.

Ratcheting up such attacks are part of a grand plan by militants to destabilize the country and increase their power, says retired lieutenant general Moinuddin Haider, Pakistan’s former interior minister.

He said Wednesday’s bus attack that killed 45 Ismaili Muslims in Karachi in southern Pakistan could be an attempt to illustrate that the government can’t protect even low-profile Shiites.

“It has connotations of a proxy war,” Haider said. “The sectarianism between Shiite vs. Sunnis is a serious problem.”

Six gunmen stormed the bus, ordered the Ismailis to bow their heads and shot them dead, police said. It was unclear who was behind the assault.

Ismailis are a small share of the Shiites who comprise around 15% of the largely Muslim population in Pakistan.

The bus attack was the deadliest in Pakistan since December, when Taliban fighters killed 150 people, mostly young students, in an army-run school in Peshawar.

It was the second terror attack on Ismailis in Pakistan since August 2013, when assailants threw hand grenades into two Ismaili prayer houses, killing two and injuring scores more.

There has been violence against other minorities, such as Christians and between Muslim sects in Pakistan, where al-Qaeda, the Taliban and possibly the Islamic State have been growing increasingly brazen in their quest to topple the government in Islamabad and impose harsh, Sunni-oriented rule.

Groups associated with the Islamic State and the Taliban claimed responsibility for the bus attack. Pamphlets saying “Advent of the Islamic State” were found at the scene, saying the killings were in retaliation for attacks on Yemen and Iraq.

But Ejaz Haider, a national security editor at Pakistan’s Capital TV, doubted the Islamic State pulled off the attack. He said the group’s supporters might want the public to think the Islamic

“The sectarianism between Shiite vs.

Sunnis is a serious problem.”

Moinuddin Haider, Pakistan’s former interior minister

State is responsible to underscore the militants’ credibility among radical Islamists, or someone else might be seeking to divert blame.

“The pamphlets claiming to be from (the Islamic State) could just be a red herring,” Haider said. “They could be an attempt to mislead the investigative agencies. There is no Islamic State presence in Pakistan.”

National security analyst Pervez Hoodbhoy said he is surprised the Ismailis haven’t come under more attacks because Sunni radicals view them as a deviant cult. He also viewed the bus attack as a move to send a twisted message to the public that religious diversity begets violence.

“The Islamic State is riding the bandwagon of sectarian hatreds that are tearing apart the Muslim world,” said Hoodbhoy, a profes-

sor at Forman Christian College in Lahore. “Its presence in Pakistan is unconfirmed, and claiming credit is probably a publicity stunt. But certainly there are plenty of other Sunni extremists who would like to see all Shiites disposed of.”

Ismailis lamented how their quiet community has come under fire.

“Have you ever heard Ismailis taking up guns or being involved in any acts of terrorism?” asked Abullah Husain, an Ismaili student in Karachi. “But we were targeted. Being peaceful by no means will save you from the wrath of militancy.”

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in a statement, said the nation “stands united to eliminate these enemies of Pakistan and enemies of humanity.”

Pakistani legislators light candles during a vigil on Thursday for the victims of an attack by gunmen on a bus of minority Ismaili Shiites in Karachi.

IN BRIEF ASIAN AMERICANS ACCUSE HARVARD OF RACIAL BIAS

A coalition of Asian-American groups filed a federal complaint against Harvard University late Friday alleging the school engaged in “systemic and continuous discrimination” against Asian Americans during its admissions process.

More than 60 Chinese, Indian, Korean and Pakistani groups came together for the complaint, which was filed with the civil rights offices at the justice and education departments.

They are calling for an investigation into Harvard and other Ivy League institutions that they say should stop using racial quotas or racial balancing in admission.

The coalition includes the Chinese-American Association of Orange County, in California; the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin, in New York; and the Pakistani Policy Institute, also in New York, Zhao said.

FBI: HACKER BRIEFLY MADE PLANE FLY SIDEWAYS

A computer security expert hacked into a plane's inflight entertainment system and made it briefly fly sideways by telling one of the engines to go into climb mode.

Chris Roberts of One World Labs in Denver, Colo. was flying on the plane at the time it turned sideways, according to an F.B.I. search warrant filed in April.

The warrant was first publicized late Friday by APTN, a Canadian News Service.

Roberts told the F.B.I. he had hacked into planes "15 to 20 times," according to court documents first made public Friday.

Roberts first made news in April when he was told he couldn't fly on United Airlines because of tweets he had made about whether he could hack into the flight's onboard computer settings.

— Elizabeth Weise MAN CHARGED WHO SHOT AT GEORGE ZIMMERMAN

The man who shot at George Zimmerman on Monday now

faces three charges in the incident.

Matthew Apperson was arrested late Friday in Lake Mary, Fla., and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and firing a deadly missile into an occupied conveyance.

Zimmerman, who won a controversial acquittal in the 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, was slightly injured Monday when he was shot at while driving his pickup truck in Central Florida, authorities said.

The day after the incident, Apperson’s attorney, Mark NeJame, said his client acted in self-defense. Police said Zimmerman and Apperson appeared to have been in a previous road rage incident before the shooting.

Zimmerman, 31, was not struck by a bullet but was hit in the face by flying glass and debris, said his lawyer, Don West. He was treated for minor injuries and released from Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford.

57 people died

Autopsies showed that most of the people killed in the eruption likely died from asphyxiation after inhaling hot ash, according to the USGS. Fifty-seven people died including photojournalist Reid Blackburn, a USGS volcanologist named David Johnson and Harry Truman, an 84-year-old lodge owner who rose to fame after he refused to leave the mountain in the weeks preceding the eruption.

Between then and May 18, there were more than 2,800 earthquakes recorded at the volcano and a bulge began to develop on the volcano's left side, PBS reported.

The eruption damaged roughly 230 square miles of land around the volcano, according to the USDA Forest Service. It destroyed 158 miles of highway, 200 homes and 15 miles or railways, the USGS reported.

About 7,000 big game animals lost

In addition to human lives lost, an estimated 7,000 big-game animals — such as deer, elk and bears — were killed. Birds and small mammals also died. The first animals to return to the eruption area were spiders and beetles. They were found at the site in late May 1980, according to the USGS.

110,000 acres

In 1982, the federal government set aside 110,000 acres of land impacted by the eruption known as the National Volcanic Monument. The land within the monument is protected and was allowed to naturally rejuvenate and restore itself.

One of the most famous perks at Google is 20% time — the free time the company’s brightest and most determined employees are granted to tinker with promising side projects.

That’s how Google came up with some of its most popular products, including Gmail and Google News. Even the idea for Google shuttle buses that ferry employees to and from work was born from this off-the-official-clock ingenuity.

Now Google has created a new version of 20% time to innovate in an area of growing importance for the Internet giant: increasing the diversity of its workforce.

Diversity Core is a formal program in which Google employees contribute one-fifth of their time to initiatives aimed at attracting more women and minorities and creating a more welcoming culture for them — both at Google and in the tech industry.

About 500 employees in 53 offices have taken part in Diversity Core, which is just one of a SAN FRANCISCO

number of programs designed to disrupt the status quo at Google, says Nancy Lee, Google’s vice president of people operations.

“We want all Googlers to care about diversity, not just the leadership or the diverse population,” Lee says. “You have to figure out: Where’s the tipping point to changing the culture?”

When Aruna Kommu, 33, a program manager, worked for Google in India, she was frequently one of the few women — sometimes the only woman — in the room when speaking about Google products at conferences.

Through Diversity Core, she got the opportunity to work on Women Techmakers, Google’s program to raise the visibility of women in technology. She highlighted the contributions of female business leaders in India.

“If there was no Diversity Core, I probably would not have found the opportunity to work with them,” Kommu says. “It’s a lot of progress we have made in terms of diversity and how we talk about it.”

Ashley Carrick, 27, a finance analyst who belongs to the Hispanic Googler Network, a group of Google employees trying to recruit and retain Latinos, says she works on increasing the di-

versity of the pool of small businesses that supply Google with goods and services.

“My parents had a small business, and they eventually lost it,” Carrick says. “It’s great to be on the other side and make it really easy for small businesses to work with Google.”

Jessica Moore, 25, is a people operations associate who is active in the Black Googler Network. After joining Diversity Core, Moore says, she felt she could be more open about how “invested” she is in her diversity work.

“It just brings light to the work that you are doing,” Moore says. “You can share it with your team and with others and you can be recognized for it.”

Independent diversity consultant Jonathan Brack says the program is a blueprint for other technology companies.

“It institutionalizes this conversation about diversity so that it’s not just seen as an extra or as an afterthought but something that is built into the company itself with senior leadership buyin,” Brack says. “Google is not only leveraging the innovative thinking and brainpower that it is known for, it’s allowing people to work on something they care about without having to stack it on top of everything else they do.”

The Google program “institutionalizes this conversation about diversity so that it’s not just seen ... as an afterthought.”

You’ve probably heard about Meerkat and Periscope, the two live videostreaming apps that launched this year to big headlines, and heavy usage from the technorati.

We’re guessing that if we also mentioned YouNow in the same breath, you’d probably draw a blank.

Here’s a friendly tip: Ask your kids.

YouNow is the live-streaming app that’s bringing in money and attracting huge audiences, with 100 million user sessions monthly. Its audience is mostly teens, watching YouTube performers interacting directly with their fans.

Like YouTube, YouNow shares revenues with its most popular talent. Some of the folks interacting with fans are making LOS ANGELES

“YouNow is my bread and butter,” says Andrew Bachelor, known online on YouTube, Vine and YouNow as “King Bach.”

YouTube, he says, is for video skits, while “YouNow is in the moment.”

Unlike YouTube, which rewards popular performers with a piece of the ad revenues, You-

Now has no ads, but it relies on virtual currency. Starting at $2.99 a pop, fans can buy “likes,” to help the performers “trend,” and other goods. And there’s a tip jar to put money directly into the performers’ pockets.

The $10,000 cited by YouNow is on the high end. Some users say they bring in anywhere from $500 to $1,000 monthly.

The site was founded by Adi Sideman in 2012 at a time when other then-popular sites like Livestream, uStream and Justin.TV offered the ability to broadcast live online for free.

The other sites were perhaps ahead of their time. The business model for the first two has changed to premium, and Justin.TV shut down in 2014.

That leaves the new entries, led by Meerkat and Periscope (which is owned by Twitter), Hang’w and YouNow. “It’s great to see the market aware of this new format now,” Sideman says. “We don’t see a crossover between the audiences. Meerkat and Periscope attract older viewers, while we’re focused on youth.”

RETIREMENT

Do renovations pay off during retirement?

Keep in mind: Not all home improvements are created equal Nanci Hellmich @nancihellmich USA TODAY

Homeowners who are retired or nearing retirement often face some difficult questions: Should they remodel their homes? Will they recoup the cost? Or are they better off saving their money?

This issue is “a pretty common conundrum,” says Atlanta-based certified financial planner Wes Moss, author of You Can Retire Sooner Than You Think.

“I would say that for 75% of the couples I meet with, at least one spouse places a high level of importance on updating the home, and very often it’s the kitchen because that’s where they spend a lot of time, and the other one says, ‘It’s just the kitchen. What’s the big deal?’ ” The most common renovations done by retirees are creating a home office, improving curb appeal and upgrading kitchen and bathrooms, according to a recent Merrill Lynch-Age Wave survey of more than 3,600 respondents.

Most respondents were over age 50; 1,668 were already retired.

But such renovations can be expensive. An analysis, conducted

by Remodeling magazine in conjunction with a survey of 200,000 Realtors with the National Association of Realtors, outlined the cost of various home remodeling projects and how much homeowners recoup on average upon resale of the home. Among the average national price of midrange remodeling projects: uMajor kitchen remodel costs $56,768. The average amount recouped: $38,485, or 67.8%. uBathroom remodel, $16,724.

Recouped: $11,707, or 70%.

uHome office, $29,066. Recouped: $14,150, or 48.7%. uVinyl siding replacement, $12,013. Recouped: $9,694, 80.7%. uNew roof, $19,528. Recouped: $13,975, or 71.6%. uVinyl window replacement, $11,198. Recouped: $8,163, 72.9%.

Many people plan to age in place, and some are interested in remodeling so they can do just that, says Craig Webb, editor in chief of Remodeling.

A good remodeler can help you decide the most beneficial improvements, Webb says.

People who plan to live in their homes for another 20 years might consider using long-lasting materials on the home’s exterior, such as PVC or composite lumber, to lower their maintenance costs, he says. They might also think about adding bigger, more energy-efficient windows, which can help lower fuel and air conditioning costs, as well as increasing the light in their homes, which most people need as they age.

He also advises updating bathrooms, adding grab bars and replacing tubs with curbless or low-curb showers, which are easier to get in and out of.

Sometimes people nearing retirement are frugal about maintenance on or replacing aging appliances because they “want to get every bit of usage from depreciating appliances,” says Las Vegas Realtor Linda Rheinberger, the National Association of Realtors regional vice president of the Rocky Mountain states.

But she advises against playing “Russian roulette” with appliances such as air conditioning. If you live where temperatures get up to 110, “air conditioning is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.”

And new appliances may be

more fuel-efficient and save you money in the long run, she says.

If people have a three- or fourbedroom house, they may convert one bedroom into an office or hobby room. Some turn a formal dining room into a den or office space, she says.

People need to think about what changes will help them continue to live in their home for years to come, agrees Eleanor Blayney, consumer advocate for the Certified Financial Planner Board. They may need a more open floor plan and wider doors to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. They might want to install carpeting instead of throw rugs for safety.

Before taking out any homeimprovement loans, Blayney suggests, talk with a real estate agent

and a financial planner.

Moss advises clients to do any home remodeling a year or two before they retire. Renovations “hurt your pocketbook. ... It’s hard even when you’re working, and it’s even worse when you’re retired and not working.”

He recommends people think about how long they plan to live in the home. For three to five years, it may not be worth it to renovate, but if they are going to live there five years or more, it “may be money really well spent” because they’ll get use and enjoyment out of the improvements.

And if it’s something you really want to do but don’t feel like you can afford, then consider working a little longer before retiring or getting a part-time job in retirement to pay for it, Moss says.

Walk this way to improve your credit score Jeff Reeves

Special for USA TODAY

Most Americans are aware that their credit score is an important figure that determines how much it will cost for you to borrow money — or, in fact, whether banks will lend to you at all.

But what’s a good credit score?

And most important, how can you make sure your credit rating is attractive to lenders?

Unfortunately, there is no universal measure of what’s “good.”

Different groups employ slightly different calculations and even different grading scales. Additionally, some lenders may be looking for a slightly higher score than others depending on the size or nature of your purchase.

But if you insist on a number, Bruce McClary of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling suggests to “shoot for something north of 760” for your FICO score; the FICO scale ranges from a low of 300 to a high of 850 and is one of the oldest and most widely used measures of consumer credit.

That said, McClary warns that “it’s not a matter of obsessing over a number.”

“That can drive people crazy if they let it, because your credit score fluctuates a little bit from month to month just based on your consumer behavior.”

Making sure those behaviors over time reflect good habits is much more important than fixating on numbers, says Rod Griffin, director of public education at Experian. Experian is one of the three credit bureaus that help monitor and create credit scores for American consumers.

“A credit score is simply a measure of risk,” Griffin says, and so

It’s not just a numbers game: Good habits, consistency and paying on time will help keep you on the right track 6 SIMPLE STEPS TO A GOOD SCORE

Pay bills on time.

focusing on good financial habits will result in lenders seeing you as a good customer instead of a liability — and they will offer you attractive terms to win your business as a result.

For instance, Griffin says, 100% of borrowers with the very best credit scores have zero delinquent accounts and all their bills paid on time. Contrast that with data from borrowers with the very worst credit ratings, where 78% of borrowers were at least 60 days delinquent on one or more of their bills.

McClary, vice president of public relations and external affairs at the NFCC, says that’s not a surprise given how important ontime payments are to credit score calculations. “Paying on time, that’s 35% of your credit,” he says.

“If you’ve got that locked down, you’re in good shape.”

McClary points out data showing that simply staying on top of bills is a problem for many people. According to the 2015 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey of more than 2,000 Americans, 24% of adults admitted they do not pay all of their bills on time.

Griffin’s simple advice: “Pay your bills on time, every time.”

FROM GOOD TO GREAT

Aim for a FICO score of 760 or higher.

THINKSTOCK

What if you’re on top of your bills but want to make sure your score is at its best to prepare for a big purchase like a home or a car?

McClary says the first step should be a hard look at your credit report — the history that helps determine your credit score. You may find old accounts you’re not using that can be closed, or incorrect information you can dispute.

“If you want a real quick and easy way to boost your credit score, pull your credit report and

look for things that are inaccurate that may have a negative impact on your credit score and dispute those items,” McClary says. Just make sure you do so a few months before a planned purchase, he adds, because disputes can take about 60 days to resolve.

In fact, it’s a good idea to take a look at your credit report once a year even if you’re not planning a big purchase, just to ensure that the information is accurate and that there aren’t any fraudulent accounts opened in your name.

Javelin Strategy and Research estimates that about $16 billion was stolen from 12.7 million victims of identity fraud last year.

“If you haven’t seen your credit report ever, or it’s been more than a year or two since you looked at it, you really need to put eyes on the details,” McClary says.

And according to NFCC data, less than half of Americans have reviewed their report in the past year — despite the information being available free through AnnualCreditReport.com.

After you’re sure everything is accurate and you’ve disputed things that aren’t, the next step is to zero out those credit card debts — even if you’re consistently paying on time.

“Carrying a zero balance is ideal,” Griffin said.

He also recommends consumers never carry more than 30% of their available credit as a balance, because that may cause lenders to worry they’re taking on too much debt right now.

As with paying your bills on time, it may seem like common sense to pay off your credit cards.

But the NFCC survey found that 33% of adults carry credit card debt month to month; 11% say they roll over $2,500 or more in credit card debt.

Manage incorrect information if it’s there.

Close old accounts.

Check your credit at least once a year.

Pay off credit card balances.

Once your credit cards are zeroed out, it also helps to remember that having lots of accounts doesn’t necessarily make you more attractive — it’s the history that counts. So think about closing newer cards you don’t use.

“You don’t need more than one or two credit cards,” Griffin says, so long as you have a decent borrowing limit and a consistent history on those accounts.

He adds that in Experian’s research, those with the best credit scores had an average age of 12 years on their oldest account. But among those with the worst scores, Experian couldn’t find a single account that age; the very oldest in the entire group was about nine years.

“Time is the most important factor. People often overlook that.

A credit score is about behavior over time,” Griffin says. “Just because your accounts are current today doesn’t mean they will be tomorrow, and you need to develop behavior over time for your score to improve.”

And remember, having a decade of credit history in an account doesn’t mean 10 years of carrying a balance.

“You can use credit and not carry debt,” Griffin says. “If you use credit well and wisely, it’s a financial tool. It’s when you use it unwisely that debt accumulates and you get into trouble.”

To keep your credit report polished and your credit score attractive, Griffin recommends holding a credit card or two, making a small purchase each month and immediately paying off the balance. Not only does that keep your account active, it also ensures you have access to credit in an emergency. “And an emergency is not pizza and beer on a Friday night,” he adds.

K-State ends Kansas’ hopes

NCAA SOFTBALL REGIONAL

MISSOURI’S SAMI FAGAN, LEFT, CONNECTS ON A HIT AGAINST KANSAS UNIVERSITY in the Tigers’ 5-3 victory Saturday in Columbia, Missouri.

KU rallied with a 2-0 victory over Indiana State late Saturday night to set up a rematch with the Tigers at noon today.

KU falls to Tigers, but earns rematch

By Blake Toppmeyer Special to the Journal-World

Columbia, Mo. — Kansas University softball pitcher Alicia Pille said after the Jayhawks’ 5-3 loss to Missouri on Saturday afternoon she planned “to throw until I cannot throw any longer.”

That time hasn’t come yet.

Pille took the ball in an elimination game Saturday night against Indiana State and powered the Jayhawks’ season forward for at least another day.

She tossed her third complete game in the first two days of the NCAA regional and posted a two-hitter in lifting KU to a 2-0 victory

over the Sycamores at University Field.

Pille, a senior from Royse City, Texas, has thrown 294 pitches and 20 innings during the regional. Pille, who has amassed 2081⁄3 innings for the season, said she’d be ready for today’s championship-round rematch against Missouri.

The Jayhawks (40-14) would have to beat MU (4114) in back-to-back games to win the regional. Missouri needs to win only once.

“There’s no fatigue this late in the season,” Pille said after the Indiana State game. “I’m just going to keep throwing as long as my team needs me.”

The Sycamores’ Yvette Alvarez limited Kansas to one hit through five innings, but Kansas came alive in the sixth. Daniella Chavez led off with a single to left field, and Chanin Naudin followed with a walk. After Alvarez retired Shannon McGinley, Jessie Roane smacked a two-run double into left field. Roane had been 0-for-8 in the regional before that hit.

“I can’t look at the past atbats,” Roane said. “I have to look at the present and take one pitch at a time.”

Pille struck out seven and walked two. She faced the minimum through three innings. Indiana State (27-31) never advanced a runner past

second base. Pille retired the last seven batters she faced.

“She looked as strong this game as she did the first game (Friday),” Kansas coach Megan Smith said.

In the second-round matchup earlier in the day, Missouri used a three-run fifth inning to rally to victory after Kansas had used a tworun home run by Naudin and a solo home run from Chavez to establish a 3-2 lead.

The Jayhawks entered Saturday 26-0 in games it led after the fourth inning, but the Tigers won for the eighth time this season when trailing after four innings.

Please see SOFTBALL, page 4C

When senior right-hander Drew Morovick stepped onto the mound to start the eighth inning Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark, Kansas University’s baseball team owned a three-run lead and was in complete control of its biggest game of the year.

Two innings later, the Jayhawks’ season was effectively finished.

Yeah, Kansas (22-32 overall, 7-15 Big 12) has one game remaining in the Sunflower Showdown — first pitch is slated for 2 p.m. today — but there will be no baseball for the boys in blue after that.

Saturday’s fall-from-infront, 6-4 loss to Kansas State locked the Jayhawks into the ninth spot in the Big 12 standings, which means KU will stay home next week while the rest of the conference heads to Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the Big 12 tournament.

“Obviously, that’s a devastating loss for us,” KU coach Ritch Price said in front of a disconsolate KU dugout following Saturday’s loss. “We got the start from Drew Morovick that we needed to get the ball to (closer Stephen) Villines late in the game.

That was a tremendous college baseball game. We just got beat.”

Through seven innings, Morovick had given up just one run and five hits while striking out three and letting his defense play behind him. But in the eighth, three consecutive hits by the Wildcats, which cut KU’s lead to 4-2, forced KU pitching coach Ryan Graves to make the move to Villines.

Three more hits and two runs later, the teams went to the bottom of the eighth tied at 4.

Alexander hopes to make up for lost time

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

NBA scouts and front-office personnel didn’t get to see much of Cliff Alexander in his one season at Kansas University. As a result, the 6-foot-81⁄2 power forward from Chicago said during a media session at the Draft

Combine he’ll have to prove himself to various teams in the weeks to come.

Alexander only played in 28 games, averaging 17.6 minutes, before declaring for the NBA Draft and didn’t finish his freshman season as a KU contributor because the NCAA opened an investigation into pos-

sible improper benefits tied to his family.

In an interview posted by BasketballInsiders.com, the troubled big man characterized his up-and-down season as an “OK experience” and was asked why an NBA team should take a chance on him.

“I’m gonna work hard, do what I need to do to earn

playing time, compete every time I step on the floor,” Alexander responded. “I’m a great rebounder. I can finish around the rim, and like I said, I can alternate shots.”

If there is a misconception about his skill set, Alexander claimed, it’s that he can’t shoot. He hopes to convince teams otherwise

when they bring him in for workouts. The big man, who averaged 7.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks with the Jayhawks, said he didn’t take many jumpers at Kansas, so some scouts might not know about that aspect of his repertoire.

American Pharoah coasts, adds second jewel to crown

AMERICAN PHAROAH, RIDDEN BY VICTOR ESPINOZA, CENTER, WINS THE 140TH PREAKNESS STAKES on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Baltimore (ap) — Minutes before the Preakness, it was an ominous scene at Pimlico Race Course. Thunder and lightning. Wind and rain. A record crowd scrambling for cover. A drenched racetrack.

Nothing — absolutely nothing — was going to stop American Pharoah, especially the competition.

Thunder rumbled as the starting gate opened, and the Kentucky Derby winner took charge early on and overpowered seven rivals, winning by seven lengths to

put trainer Bob Baffert back in the Triple Crown groove.

“Great horses do great things,” Baffert said after his sixth Preakness victory, “and he showed it today. He’s just an incredible horse.”

And in three weeks, the stage will be set for the ultimate drama in racing — a Triple Crown attempt at the Belmont Stakes in New York.

“I don’t even want to think about the Triple Crown right now,’ the 62-year-old trainer said. “I want to enjoy this. It’s tough up there.”

American Pharoah, who started from the rail under Victor Espinoza, will be 14th Derby-Preakness winner to have a shot at becoming the first to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont since Affirmed in 1978.

For Baffert, he’ll be making an unprecedented fourth attempt at a Triple. He won the Derby and Preakness with Silver Charm in 1997, Real Quiet in 1998 and War Emblem in 2002. All three fell short in the Belmont.

Cavs ‘hope’ Irving can play in opener The Associated Press

Cavs’ All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving was held out of practice Saturday after aggravating a left knee injury in Thursday’s closeout Game 6 against the Chicago Bulls.

That’s just the start, though.

Here are some more story lines at Chiefs minicamp: n There are two defensive tackles from the football hotbed of Hawaii trying to make the team in former Montana standout Tonga Takai and Texas A&M-Commerce’s Charles Tuaau. n Speaking of Tuaau, he was supposed to graduate on Saturday. But his athletic director at Commerce held a special commencement for him Thursday so that he could make the minicamp. n There are several NFL legacies in minicamp. Running back Malcolm Agnew’s dad, Ray, played 11 seasons as a defensive tackle. Tight end Westlee Tonga’s brother-inlaw is former running back Reno Mahe, who played five seasons for Reid with the Eagles in the 2000s. n The Chiefs’ incumbent kicker, Cairo Santos, grew up playing soccer in Brazil. In minicamp is kicker Vincenzo D’Amato, who grew up playing the same sport in Sicily. n Before starring at Southern Miss, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches was born and raised in Belize. The last

NFL player to hail from the tiny Central American nation?

Bill Gutteron with the shortlylived Los Angeles Buccaneers in 1926. n Arguably the fastest player in minicamp is De’Vante Bausby, an undrafted cornerback from Pittsburg State. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.22 seconds — slightly wind-aided — at his school’s pro day. By comparison, the NFL combine record is 4.24 seconds set by Chris Johnson.

“He’s a huge Chiefs fan,” Reid said of Bausby, “and a very energetic guy.” n For the “US Weekly” crowd, former Vanderbilt long snapper Andrew East is the longtime boyfriend of Olympic gold-medal gymnast Shawn Johnson, while safety Justin Halley from Florida International is a professional model who has appeared on an edition of “Vogue.” The father of quarterback Michael Strauss founded MIA Shoes, which specializes in women’s footwear.

Most of these guys will never play a down in the NFL. In fact, most of them will be memories once the weekend is over, cast aside after unsuccessful tryouts.

At least they’ll have another interesting story to tell.

Austin, Texas — For three years, Charlotte Brown has been chasing a medal by trying to jump over a bar she couldn’t see.

The senior pole vaulter cleared that bar Saturday, earning a third-place finish at the Texas state high school championships.

And proudly joining her on the podium as the bronze medal was draped around her neck — her service dog Vador.

Brown is blind, yet that’s not stopped her quest to become one of the best in an event that would seem next to impossible.

“I finally did it,” Brown said.

“If I could send a message to anybody, it’s not about pole vaulting and it’s not about track.

It’s about finding something that makes you happy despite whatever obstacles are in your way.”

Brown had qualified for the state meet each year since 2013 with Emory Rains High School.

She finished eighth as a sophomore and improved to fourth as a junior.

At her hotel room Friday night, Stori Brown tried to counsel her daughter that it was important to remember that she was one of the few to make it this far, whether she won a medal or not.

“No,” Charlotte replied. “I need to be on that podium.”

Brown was born with normal vision, but developed cataracts when she was 16 weeks old. That led to the first of several operations, including insertion of arti-

ficial lenses. Her vision stabilized until she was about 11 when it started to worsen.

PGA TOUR

McIlroy shoots 61, leads by 4 strokes Charlotte, N.C. — When Rory McIlroy knocked in an 8-foot putt for birdie on the par3 13th hole at Quail Hollow Club on Saturday, he allowed an enticing thought to enter his head.

“Fifty-nine was in my mind,” he said.

At that point, McIlroy was 8-under par, rolling in just about everything and well on his way toward the best round in Wells Fargo Championship history.

When he was finished, he came up short of that 59 (the PGA Tour’s lowest-ever score), missing a shot a golf history but creating plenty of the same for Quail Hollow.

McIlroy shot a tournament record 11-under 61, putting on full display the skills that have made him the top-ranked player in the world.

“So I was a little disappointed with not finishing off the way I wanted,” said McIlroy, who is trying to become the first twotime winner of the Wells Fargo tournament. “But, you know, still a great round.”

McIlroy broke or tied four other course records Saturday, including lowest 54-hole score

(198), lowest third-round score, most birdies in one round (10) and consecutive birdies (five).

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a four-under par 68 Saturday, good for a tie for 14th, 11 shots behind McIlroy.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Seton Hall transfer Gibbs taps UConn UConn has landed another ready-made player for next season. Sterling Gibbs, one of the most sought-after graduate transfer players available, committed to the Huskies on Saturday after a two-day visit to the campus.

Gibbs, a 6-foot-2 guard, averaged 16.3 points and 3.8 assists at Seton Hall last season. He had visited Pittsburgh, where his older brother, Ashton, was a top player, and Ohio State, which made a hard push. Notre Dame, Temple, Baylor, Virginia Commonwealth and North Carolina State also were mentioned as possible destinations.

“I commit to UConn today,” Gibbs said via his Twitter account at 5:15 p.m. EDT Saturday.

He had a visit scheduled with N.C. State this week.

But UConn was considered the front-runner from the moment he decided to leave Seton Hall. Gibbs, who is from Scotch Plains, N.J., began his college career at Texas.

Speaking of acting, tight end Steven Borden’s father, Steve Sr., was a pretty good one in his own right. You might know him better as Sting, the biggest star of World Championship Wrestling in the 1980s and ‘90s, and with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and the WWE more recently.

The younger Borden played collegiately at Kentucky and is trying out with the Chiefs.

On a far more serious side, there’s former Gardner-Webb standout Kenny Cook, who is trying to earn a wide receiver job in Kansas City after signing as a college free agent.

Before his sophomore year of high school, Cook’s mother Kimberly noticed a lump on the side of his neck. It turned out to be Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the same form of cancer for which Chiefs Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry is undergoing treatment.

Cook wound up missing a full year of football while radiation and chemotherapy treatments went to work.

BRIEFLY Hamlin wins All-Star race Blind pole vaulter wins state medal Concord, N.C. (ap) — Denny Hamlin has given Joe Gibbs Racing its first victory in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star race by using clean air to hold off Kevin Harvick at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Hamlin won the pole for Saturday night’s race and was decent through the first four 25-lap segments. He headed to pit road in sixth for the mandatory final pit stop, and his No. 11 team got him back on track in first.

Every driver in the 20-car field wanted to be out front for the final 10-lap sprint to the finish. NASCAR’s current rules package has shown that the leader, in clean air, is difficult to pass.

So Harvick never got close enough to even attempt a move.

CLASS 6A STATE TENNIS

Trio of city players settle for 12th

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Olathe — Free State High doubles partners sophomore Ian Pultz-Earle and freshman Erik Czapinski lost both of their matches Saturday on the second day of the Class 6A boys state tennis tournament.

They were a disappointed with the setbacks but couldn’t be happier with their first state tournament experience at the College Boulevard Activities Center. Pultz-Earle and Czapinski took 12th place in doubles, while Lawrence High junior Elliott Abromeit also finished 12th in singles.

“Those close matches have been good learning experiences,” Pultz-Earle said. “In some ways, the result this year doesn’t matter as much if we learn stuff. I felt like in those, we figured some things out. Even in the losses, we can use that knowledge, skill and experience next year.”

Pultz-Earle and Czapinski lost their first match by tiebreaker Saturday, falling to Washburn Ru-

LAWRENCE HIGH JUNIOR ELLIOTT ABROMEIT SMACKS A FOREHAND during Saturday’s state tournament in Olathe.

Abromeit placed 12th. ral’s Brenden Garland and Tanner Driggers, 9-8 (7-4).

“These are really good players,” Czapinski said.

“Everybody here on the second day or the first day is supposed to be here. There’s a reason why they qualified.”

In their final match of the tournament, they lost 9-6 to Shawnee Mission East’s Lane Cooper and Barrett Anderson, whom they beat to take third place at regionals. Three of Pultz-Earle and Czapinski’s four losses at state were by three games or less.

“We just didn’t execute on the important points,” Czapinski said. “It just seems to be a trend with us.”

Abromeit also lost both of his matches Saturday.

He lost to Shawnee Mission East’s Billy Louiselle, 9-4, and fell to Shawnee Mission Northwest’s Tyler Garland, 9-6. Abromeit was down, 7-2, in his match against Garland before he fought back to win four of the next six games.

“He was struggling a little bit between the ears, and we were able

to straighten that out and focus on one ball at a time and get some points back in there,” LHS coach Chris Marshall said.

Though Abromeit was upset with some of his reactions when he was losing, he was thrilled with what he accomplished over the weekend.

“My goal overall was to make the second day,” Abromeit said. “That’s just awesome. Getting to play a couple of really tough matches is just icing on the cake. I kind of wish I had been a little more mentally stable.”

Abromeit changed his grip at the beginning of the season, and he improved in the months that followed. Now he hopes he can build on his state experience to enhance his game next year.

“It was a great, great learning experience,” Marshall said. “I think we learned more from this state experience than we learned from almost the whole season. We had ups and downs, roller coasters. We learned a lot about each other. It was a great experience.”

Free State to host baseball regional J-W Staff Reports

Free State High’s baseball team has to win two home games next week to earn a trip to the Class 6A state tournament.

The top-seeded Firebirds (16-4, ranked No. 2 in Class 6A) will face eighthseeded Olathe North (7-13) at 4 p.m. Tuesday at FSHS.

The Firebirds won their regular season matchup against the Eagles, 7-5 in eight innings, last week.

If they win again, they’ll face the winner of Olathe Northwest (10-10) and Manhattan (9-9) at 6 p.m. in the regional championship.

Lawrence High’s baseball team (7-13, No. 7 seed) will

Duffy better, but Royals fall Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — Danny Duffy had better location on his fastball. He limited the damage after walking the bases loaded in the third inning. He felt stronger than he has in a while.

All that was missing was the result.

The Royals left-hander rallied after two miserable starts to keep Kansas City in the game Saturday night, but a mistake to Chase Headley doomed him in a 5-1 loss to the New York Yankees.

After giving up a pair of two-out singles in the fifth, Duffy went ahead 0-2 on the Yankees third baseman. Headley battled back to force a full count, then swatted a pitch into the bullpen in left field, the three-run homer staking the Yankees to a 4-1 lead.

Alex Rodriguez added a solo shot in the ninth to finish off the game.

“It was one bad inning (the third) and one bad pitch (to Headley). It’s frustrating,” Duffy said.

“What’s done is done. ... I feel like I’m going to turn the corner.”

Perhaps he already has.

Duffy (2-3) gave up four runs without retiring a batter in the second inning two starts ago, and allowed six runs in 32⁄3 innings his last time out.

He wound up allowing four hits and four walks against the Yankees on Saturday night.

“When you throw 113 pitches in five innings, you’ve got an issue somewhere,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “If you’re looking on the bright side, it was a little bit better. His feel and touch was better.

He was staying within himself better, but the results still weren’t there.”

CC Sabathia (2-5) was the one that got the results.

On the men’s side, Texas leads with 71 points and is followed by Texas Tech (50.75), Oklahoma (49), Kansas State (43) and Kansas (33.25).

KU puts 4 boats in Grand Finals Oak Ridge, Tenn. — Four of Kansas University’s five boats advanced Saturday to today’s Grand Finals of the Big 12 Rowing Championships.

KU’s First Varsity Eight, Third Varsity Eight, First Varsity Four and Second Varsity Four all earned trips to the Grand Finals.

“I thought we had a pretty good day,” Kansas coach Rob Catloth said.

“Our goal for the day was to have each boat advance to the Grand Finals. We missed our goal by one boat, however, that race was fairly tough for our Second Varsity Eight. They were in a tough heat with some great teams. They competed for most of the race but fell off at the end. It’s a young boat and I thought they performed extremely well. They had one of their best races of the year.”

The championships conclude today.

Morovick’s confidence and first seven innings certainly might have had some impact on the decision.

“I told Graves I wanted the ball,” an emotional Morovick said. “I wanted to battle for my team, and if we were gonna lose, I wanted it to be on my shoulders, nobody else’s.

It’s just hard knowing I let my team down today.”

KU catcher Michael Tinsley, who finished 2-for-4 with an RBI, said he felt good about the Jayhawks’ sending Morovick back onto the field for the eighth.

“Drew will go 20 innings if it’s his choice,” Tinsley said. “I didn’t see any type of fatigue. It’s just they had seen him for eight innings, and they put some good swings on the ball.”

Those swings carried over to the hard-throwing Villines, and K-State scored five runs on six hits in the final two innings. That included a double and a triple in the top of the ninth that gave the Wildcats (26-27, 1013) their first lead of the day.

He said he got through the difficult stretch with help from his mother.

“It was hard for me sitting back, sitting on my bed, watching my team play in the tournament,” Alexander said. “My mom came out. She supported me big time, helped me boost my confidence.”

participated in at least 15 games and averaged at least 20 minutes: No. 1 Jarnell Stokes (2011), 34.0; No. 2 Georges Niang (2011), 32.2; No. 3 Andrew Wiggins (2012), 32.0; No. 4 Tyus Jones (2013), 31.2; No. 5 Diallo (2014), 30.6.

Diallo had, by far, the top defensive rating among those players, at 84.0.

“If Diallo gives Kansas the value that his numbers suggest,” Winn wrote, “(Wayne) Selden puts his sophomore slump behind him, and the Jayhawks do a better job of leveraging their long-range shooting talent, they could easily be a top-10 team in offensive and defensive efficiency—and therefore a true contender.”

Along with UNC and Kansas, Winn’s ACC- and Big 12-heavy top 10 included No. 2 Kentucky, No. 4 Maryland, No. 5 Virginia, No. 6 Iowa State, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 8 Gonzaga, No. 9 Duke and No. 10 Wichita State.

The Big 12’s Baylor (No. 18), West Virginia (No. 27) and Texas (No. 28) also made the list.

“I can shoot the jump shot. I just have to get it consistent,” Alexander said. “I can knock the 15foot jump shot down, the elbow jump shot down.”

Projected as a latefirst-round or early second-round pick in the 2015 draft, Alexander said representatives from Washington, New York, Golden State, Memphis, Dallas, San Antonio, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix and other franchises interviewed him at the combine.

Alexander said the NCAA investigation — Yahoo! reported Alexander’s mother, Latillia, made a public filing in August, tying her to a financial firm — came up in the sessions.

KU removed Alexander from the lineup prior to its home game against Texas on Feb. 28, and the freshman post player, who was a starter at the time, missed the final

Can’t win ’em all Just because one publication likes Kansas as the preseason favorite for the 2015-16 college basketball season doesn’t mean all — or any — of the others have to.

While The Sporting News tapped KU as its early No. 1 this week, SportsIllustrated.com’s Luke Winn crowned North Carolina as king of his preseason power rankings. The Jayhawks came in two spots behind Roy Williams’ Tar Heels, at No. 3.

For each of the top 10 programs on the 32-team list, Winn provided reasons people could talk themselves into picking that particular team to win it all in 2016. Argu-

ments against KU begin with its early exit from the 2015 NCAA Tournament, but Winn pointed to Perry Ellis and Brannen Greene playing through injuries as part of KU’s problems.

“Bill Self has the best track record of any coach over the past decade of producing high-efficiency teams with strong front courts, and the Ellis-Chieck Diallo combo could be dominant,” Winn predicted. “Diallo, who measured at 6-foot9 with a 7-4 wingspan at the Nike Hoop Summit in April, isn’t getting as much hype as incoming LSU freshman Ben Simmons or Kentucky’s (Skal) Labissiere, but Diallo’s high-motor, highproductivity, defensivefirst game seems like a perfect complement to Ellis’s crafty, skilled offense.”

Referencing DraftExpress.com’s player efficiency ratings from Nike Elite Youth Basketball games played from 201114, Winn noted Diallo has the fifth-best PER in that span, among players who

ground balls throughout the day.

Sami Fagan, who hit a two-run home run earlier in the game, followed Crane’s single with a walk.

Amanda Sanchez singled home Crane to tie the game, and Kelsea Roth hit a two-run double that bounced just out of Naudin’s reach and went over the third-base bag and down the left-field line.

“We have done a good job (protecting leads) all season,” Smith said.

“We’ve won a lot of close games all season. I think you’ve got to give credit to Missouri and their hitters. They came through in that inning. They got multiple quality at-bats in a row.”

Kansas threatened in the seventh but couldn’t score. Naudin ended Tori Finucane’s streak of eight

consecutive retired batters by hitting a one-out single to center field. After Finucane struck out Taylor Dodson, McGinley reached on a single to left field that put the tying runner aboard.

Erin McGinley followed by hitting a sharp grounder to the right of MU shortstop Corrin Genovese. The slickfielding Genovese made a sliding stop and threw

Preakness

Zayat’s belief that American Pharoah is a champion in the making.

“I always told everybody American Pharoah would show up today,” said Zayat, drenched after his trip to the winner’s circle. “Indeed he did. He is the real deal.”

American Pharoah may have only half a tail and sensitive ears that Baffert stuffs with cotton, but he’s pretty close to perfection. Bought back at auction by Zayat for $300,000, American Pharoah earned $900,000 for the win to boost his winnings to $3.7 million.

A Triple Crown is priceless.

“He put on a show today,” said Zayat, a businessman from Egypt who

AMERICAN PHAROAH, RIDDEN BY VICTOR ESPINOZA, WINS the 140th Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

A rainstorm began about 15 minutes before the race went off, preceded by several lightning bolts, but it didn’t affect American Pharoah, a sweet-striding 3-yearold. The colt dealt with similar conditions in winning the Rebel Stakes in March.

Part of the record crowd of 131,680 may have missed the race as they fled the infield and huddled under tents. No matter. The result was not a surprise.

The dominating win confirmed owner Ahmed

Eubanks visits Former Baylor basketball signee Kobie Eubanks was scheduled to make an official recruiting visit to Kansas University, Saturday until Monday.

Eubanks, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound post-graduate shooting guard from Elev8 Sports Academy in Delray Beach, Florida, has also scheduled a visit to Alabama from Tuesday until Thursday. He’s also said he will visit West Virginia.

“He can really shoot the basketball and has great size for a 2 (shooting guard). He is a good athlete and has a chance to contribute right away with his shot making ability,” Elev8 coach Chad Myers told westvirginia. rivals.com.

Eubanks is ranked No. 101 in the recruiting Class of 2015 by Rivals.com.

He signed with Baylor over finalists Pitt, Missouri, Florida and Wichita State his senior year at Our Savior New American in Centereach, New York, where he was a teammate of KU signee Cheick Diallo.

lives in Teaneck, New Jersey. “Nobody came close to him.

He added: “The sport without star is not a sport.”

Baffert, who was unhappy American Pharoah drew the inside post, was concerned when the rains came.

“That was crazy,” Baffert said. “These horses, I could tell they didn’t like it when they got pelted like that. I was worried about the cotton balls in his ears. What if they’re getting soaking wet?”

Espinoza has his chance at history, too. Although his horse in the previous race was scratched when it reared up in the starting gate and fell, Espinoza remained unfazed.

Cabrera tags No. 400 Giants 11, Reds 2 Cincinnati — Brandon Crawford hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs.

The Associated Press

Interleague Tigers 4, Cardinals 3, 10 innings St. Louis — Miguel Cabrera hit his 400th career home run, and nearly five hours later Jose Iglesias had an RBI single in the 10th inning that sent Detroit over St. Louis on a rainy Saturday.

Cabrera’s milestone shot gave him the most homers by a Venezuelanborn player, passing Andres Galarraga. The solo shot came in the first inning, just before a rain delay of 1 hour, 20 minutes.

Adrian Beltre of Texas hit his 400th homer Friday. Cabrera tied Beltre for 52nd place on the career list, with Duke Snider next at 407.

Inspired lunacy taken to the Max A

caravan of paintsniffing albino “war boys” with sunken eyes and scars around their lips race down a dirt road in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland.

Their souped-up vehicles are cobbled together in all kinds of inventive ways — some are antique car shells stacked up on each other under giant monster-truck tires; some have elaborate exhaust pipes that run the length of the cars and spit fire; other vehicles are covered in pointed sticks and spears that jut out like porcupines.

This cadre of crazies from “Mad Max: Fury Road” has a corollary to 70-year-old director George Miller: They are driven by a singular vision and purpose. Theirs is to find and kill the rogue warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and bring back the harem she absconded with, and Miller’s is to present one nearly nonstop action scene with enough character and metaphorical connection to keep an audience engaged for two hours.

Boy, does he ever.

The first “Mad Max” movie in 30 years begins, oddly enough, with narration that ends up being the largest amount of uninterrupted dialogue in the entire film. It sets up the unforgiving landscape of these movies, and establishes the loner status of Max (Tom Hardy, in a role made famous by Mel Gibson).

In short order, Max is kidnapped and enslaved under the rule of Immortan Joe (Hugh KeaysByrne, who also played the villain Toecutter in the 1979 original). This giant, mask-wielding freak hoards all of the water to be found in this vast desert, dispensing it to the lowly people of the Citadel only when it suits him.

Once Joe and his war boys set out on Fury Road to retrieve his sex slaves from Furiosa, our title character is sidelined for a good 30 minutes or so. Strapped to the front of a car like the figurehead at the tip of a ship’s hull, Max is helpless while chaos rages around him and Miller’s penchant for crazed black comedy again rears its head.

It’s a nice twist that the real hero of the movie is Theron’s Furiosa, whose shaven head and raw determination bring to mind Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley from the “Alien” series.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” all takes place in a short period of time, and very little backstory is presented for the characters.

But their richness is revealed in how they react under constant duress.

The movie may not seem like the work of an elder statesman, but Miller’s experience means he knows how to present not only the cause-andeffect of an action scene but also develop and refine his characters during the battle.

One such character is Nux (Nicholas Hoult), a cancer-ridden war boy who, like the rest of the minions, will do anything to please Joe and enter Valhalla. His blind fanaticism makes him sympathetic, and serves as a subtle but potent antiterrorism metaphor.

When the five women of Joe’s harem are first glimpsed, it’s all long legs and bare midriffs — the typical hyper-sexualized image we are used to in Hollywood pictures.

But that’s because the

SCENE STEALERS

ERIC MELIN

eric@scene-stealers.com tyrannical despot is using them in that way. They become something quite different on their journey.

It’s no coincidence what their escape represents, or that the women are freed by a powerful woman who rebels against the male hierarchy. Besides having some interesting thematic and plot similarities to the recent Tommy Lee JonesHilary Swank western “The Homesman,” you might even be able to say “Mad Max: Fury Road” is a feminist film.

It certainly has connections to Miller’s criminally overlooked 1998 film “Babe: Pig in the City,” which also features impressive, large-scale action scenes and ingenious production design. Art director Colin Gibson worked on both films, and again creates a rich fantasy world with inspired choices in every frame.

The hard-charging convoy is like a junkyard on wheels. As obtuse and fantastical as the car designs are, these are real, working vehicles careening around at high speeds on rough terrain.

One mammoth vehicle actually holds a line of taiko drummers pounding out a primal beat behind a wall of amplifiers and speaker horns. To seal further comparisons to a Gwar-like aesthetic, a manic frontman attached with cables by the arms and legs plays heavy-metal electric guitar in front of them to rev up the troops. Oh, and did I mention the guitar is also a flamethrower?

Ha! The scene where Max has to tangle with this guy is one of the most hilarious and thrilling in the movie. And it’s somehow convincing — the CGI is so subtle throughout “Mad Max: Fury Road” that it blends seamlessly with the action.

Along with Gibson, stunt coordinator Guy Norris and cinematographer John Seale are the real stars of the film.

Norris conducts breathless sequences where wild-eyed soldiers are launched from moving cars on towering poles that bend to and fro as they speed along. Seale pays tribute to Miller’s previous entries in the franchise with lightningquick zooms and Sam Raimi “Evil Dead”-style POV shots, yet somehow still maintaining a sense of coherence.

Resurrecting Mad Max in 2015 might seem like an odd choice, but Miller’s kinetic vision of post-environmental doom seems more prescient than ever. And although Gibson gave Max more of a soul than Hardy does, Miller’s storytelling strategy of standalone micro-stories means that the character could continue beyond any one actor, similar to James Bond. The focus on action and not overexplaining things also keeps the “Mad Max”

Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron in “Mad Max: Fury Road” universe contextually relevant.

“Hope,” as Max tells Furiosa, “is a mistake.”

But “Mad Max: Fury Road” represents a certain kind of hope that’s more than a little contagious. As technology continues to improve and digital effects persist, it’s refreshing to see an oldschool master get back to basics — and use his

powers for good.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is two hours long and is rated R for intense sequences of violence and inspired lunacy.

‘White God’ “White God,” which I reviewed last week, is now at Liberty Hall. If you want to talk about effective metaphors, this is another movie that

works on that level.

It also happens to be the best live-action animal adventure since “Babe: Pig in the City.”

Come to think of it, why not try a triple bill of “Mad Max,” “Babe,” and “White God” and rank them by their level of metaphorical obviousness?

All three movies work on a visceral level and

SUMMER

ARTS

PREVIEW From art exhibits to outdoor concerts to “The World’s Best Slip N’ Slide,” there’s a lot to see and do in Lawrence in the next few months. Here are 13 notable arts, entertainment and culture events scheduled now through August.

By Joanna Hlavacek • Twitter: @hlavacekjoanna Richard Gwin/Journal-World File Photo

Lawrence Busker Festival May 28-31 This quirky event attracts performers of all kinds (magicians, sword swallowers, fire dancers and more) along with thousands of spectators to downtown Lawrence every summer.

The three-day festival, now in its eighth year, boasts additional performers and stages this summer. Usually in the dog days of August, the festival has moved to late May this year to buddy up with the annual Art Tougeau car parade and “make it a really weird weekend,” according to the festival’s website.

Festivities begin with the Busker Ball, giving patrons the chance to preview the acts and meet the performers, May 28 at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St. The rest of the festival will be May 29-31 throughout downtown Lawrence.

The Lawrence Public Library’s annual Summer in the City summer reading program returns this year with a superhero theme. Beginning May 21, participants (kids, teens and adults) can pick up a reading log and event calendar at any of the library’s service desks or online at lawrence.lib.ks.us. There will also be a kickoff party from 10 a.m. to noon May 30 at the library featuring family activities, doughnuts and a superhero-themed photo booth.

The program runs until Aug. 24 and has a pretty simple premise: read, attend events and win prizes. This year, participation will be measured by the number of books read (five for adults, 12 for teens and kids) or by time spent, with all ages challenged to read (books, magazines, even cereal boxes) a total of 30 hours.

Booker T. Jones May 21 As a kickoff to its new “780s Series,” the Lawrence Public Library is hosting Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Booker T. Jones at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St., on May 21.

The longtime R&B musician will share the stories behind his music with library director Brad Allen during the free event, which offers general-admission seating on a first-come basis.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013 and the Musicians Hall of Fame in 2008, Jones has a lengthy catalog of classic hits to his name, including “Green Onions,” “Hang ‘Em High,” Time is Tight” and “Melting Pot.” Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and Jones’ conversation begins at 7:30 p.m.

2015 ELEMENTARY TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Seeing Music Education as a Way of Life Growing up in a musical family, Sara Bonner gained the inspiration she needed to cement her future in music by participating in a European Choir Tour of seven countries in six weeks while attending college.

“I thought I could live without ‘doing music’ every day. Experiencing the live history in architecture and music inspired and created in me a yearning for more knowledge. I decided to let music guide my steps and my future,” Bonner said.

The 2015 Lawrence Elementary Teacher of the Year, Bonner instructs seven classes daily, teaching 500 students every three days at Deerfield Elementary School. There she has engaged students in roles as musicians, while singing, playing instruments and listening to, analyzing, moving to and composing music together for 24 years. She also taught one year in Hesston, Kansas, and earned her bachelor’s degree at Bethel College and her master’s at Wichita State University.

“Sara is an amazing music educator.

A leader among her peers, she often paves the way for new and innovative ways to teach music that are engaging,

“She is incredibly passionate about instilling in children a love of music…” collaborative and fun for all students,” said Joni Appleman, principal. “She is incredibly passionate about instilling in children a love of music, from their first day in kindergarten to their last day of fifth grade. Her students carry this strong musical foundation into middle school and beyond.”

Bonner has mentored many aspiring teachers throughout her career and says

that she finds great reward as teachers with whom she has worked continue to grow and share their own experiences.

“My hope is that their students will benefit from their teaching skills and passion and that they will develop into teachers who also mentor others. Teaching, for me, is a way of life. It forges friendships, my love of children and discovery,” she said.

new setting or purpose, and leads to further areas of investigation. Students take ownership of this learning progression,” Crenshaw said.

Earning her bachelor’s degree at Southwestern College and her master’s at Wichita State University, Crenshaw taught four years at the elementary level in Langdon, Turon and Kansas City, Kan., before joining the Lawrence school district. She taught eleven years at Deerfield Elementary School before joining West’s faculty. A former president of the local teachers’ organization, the Lawrence Education Association, Crenshaw has twice earned National Board Certification.

“Lucinda’s passion for teaching and learning has impacted every aspect of the West Middle School community,” said Myron Melton, principal. “Her planning, preparation and attention to detail are impeccable. Students in her classroom are routinely exposed to learning opportunities that are engaging, relevant and challenging.

She stretches students to become problem solvers and collaborators and helps them make connections to ‘realworld’ applications.”

USD 497 nominates both of its Lawrence Teachers of the Year to the Kansas Teacher of the Year Program sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education. Truity Credit Union, a LEAP partner, gave each teacher $1,000.

A self-described Army brat, Lucinda Crenshaw says that she followed her father from post to post, never entering a new school at the same point that she’d left an old one and spending her entire academic career catching up or waiting for classmates to catch up. Yet, in school, she says, she found her place.

A risk-taker herself, Crenshaw ensures her students feel accepted and safe, willing to take their own risks to learn.

She describes drawing her students into a critical learning community, one that is comfortable with not knowing everything and willing to discover ways to find answers, while enjoying the process.

A 30-year teaching veteran and the 2015 Lawrence Secondary Teacher of the Year, Crenshaw challenges students who enter her science classroom at West Middle School to think beyond “I can’t.” and “I don’t know.” She urges students to try, to guess, to question, to discuss and to make mistakes.

Crenshaw guides her students in presenting information to their peers and leading class discussions, sharing and elaborating on what they’ve discovered. She says that students ask each other clarifying questions about their findings and understandings in order to reach a class consensus for what was learned or understood together.

“This organically introduces new key vocabulary or concepts, fosters review of previous knowledge applied to a

LDCP Opens Doors, Provides Options Jacob Atwood says going back to school as an adult – he’s 30 years old – can be overwhelming; he found it also can be worth it. Atwood earned his Lawrence High School diploma in January through the Lawrence Diploma-Completion Program (LDCP) at USD 497’s Centennial Adult Education Center, 2145 Louisiana St. “You’ve been out of school for a number of years. You walk in with low confidence. You see younger students and you don’t know if you can keep up with them,” Atwood said.

“The program is challenging, but very applicable. If you plug in with the teachers and the online curriculum one step at a time, I think anyone of any age from any demographic and all walks of life can get it done,” he said.

Atwood attended the ninth and tenth grades at two high schools in Topeka. During that time, he worked full- and part-time jobs to help his family pay the bills. “It was hard for the teachers to build a relationship with me because I was skipping classes

to work or to sleep because I was tired from working,” he said of dropping out of high school as a sophomore.

In 2006, Atwood tried LDCP. He earned one course credit, but didn’t stick with it, viewing completion of the 23 semester credits he needed to earn a diploma as insurmountable. Atwood says the teachers, especially LDCP teacher Kelly Moomau who gave him a lot of support, continued to reach out to him, prompting his return to the program in January of 2012.

“That’s when I really plugged into the school. I did a lot of work from home on my laptop and in class when I needed help,” Atwood said. “I expected to be able to work at my own pace, but something that I enjoyed is the teachers working with me on goals. If I went a couple of weeks without showing up, they’d call and check on me.”

Atwood completed his credits while working as the lead server at Mad Greek restaurant, but he doesn’t view his diploma as the reward.

“What they say about success being

Jennifer Martinez plans to graduate with her classmates this month despite taking a non-traditional route to earning her Lawrence High School diploma.

Martinez says that as an underclassman she wasn’t interested in school and missed a lot of classes. As a result of spotty attendance, she found herself more than 16 semester credits short at the start of her senior year.

a journey not a destination is true.

This is an accomplishment that has built confidence in me. I’ll be able to take the next steps now, taking college classes and getting my pre-requisites at Johnson County Community College.

That’s the path to finding the career I want to have someday. It has opened a lot of doors,” Atwood said.

After committing to his fiancé that he would graduate before they married, Atwood also is planning a wedding in June. “I needed to prove to myself that I could complete something. People around me got to see me grow and see my confidence build,” he said.

“In the beginning I was fighting it tooth and nail. I thought I was too old, too hard headed. I can’t learn,” he said.

“The relationships with the teachers and others who were invested in me, pushed me forward. Ultimately, I had to do the work, but there was a lot of support along the way.”

Atwood’s career interests involve leadership, communication and helping others realize goals. His advice

for adults thinking about completing their high school diploma: “Maybe you don’t think you have the confidence, the time or the resources, but that’s what’s so great about this program. You can fit it in at any time, and financially, it was extremely affordable. The staff will walk you through the steps you need to take,” Atwood said. “I saw an 80-year-old man graduate. If he can do it, and I can do it, anyone can do it,” he said.

“High school really wasn’t for me. I couldn’t finish all of those credits and graduate on time,” Martinez said. “I had heard about the Lawrence Diploma-Completion Program. My counselor recommended it to me,” Martinez said.

She enrolled in the LDCP at USD 497’s Centennial Adult Education Center in August of 2014. “I was pregnant at the time, so I set a goal to graduate before my baby was born,” Martinez said. She earned her diploma in February; her son was born in March.

“My parents didn’t go to school beyond sixth grade, so this is new for my family,” she said.

“They are very proud of me.”

Students in the LDCP complete coursework online. “I liked that

you can work at your own pace, and if you have questions, you can ask a teacher and work with them one-on-one,” Martinez said.

Working at McDonald’s during high school, Martinez says that she is investigating enrolling in Johnson County Community College with a goal of eventually transferring to the University of Kansas. “I’d like to be a psychologist, so I might start working toward becoming a social worker, and then finish the education I need to become a therapist someday,” she said.

The LDCP is open August-June and serves individuals age 18 or older seeking to earn their high school diploma. The program reserves a few spots each year for local high school students like Martinez. Contact 785330-4803 for more information.

Goal Spotlight on Equity: Kennedy Elementary With more than three-quarters of its certified and classified staff having completed the district’s Beyond Diversity training, Kennedy Elementary continues to integrate the use of equity tools in its daily practice and deepen staff knowledge and skills through monthly professional development.

This year, staff began introducing the tools to students.
