Three downtown restaurants are hatching post-fire reopening plans

I

f anything good comes out of the fires that have temporarily closed three downtown restaurants, it may come in the form of a doughnut. I have updates on reopening plans for the three eateries — Jefferson’s, Biggs on Mass and Ladybird Diner — and yes, one of them really does involve doughnuts.

“I tell people that several years from now people are

Ladybird Diner to roll out artisan doughnuts after smoke clears going to look back on the fire at Biggs and say ‘that was the best thing that ever happened to doughnuts in Lawrence,’” said Meg Heriford, an owner of Ladybird Diner at 721 Massachusetts St.

If you remember, on March 3 a fire started in the smoking pit area of Biggs on Mass, and ever since, that barbecue restaurant and the adjacent Ladybird Diner have been closed while crews work on

removing smoke damage and replacing interior furnishings.

Heriford hopes to have Ladybird reopened sometime this summer. “I just don’t know if it is going to be the beginning of summer or near the end,” she said.

Staff and parents in the Lawrence school district received a letter from Superintendent Rick Doll Wednesday saying the current fiscal situation in Kansas raises “grave concerns about the district’s ability to maintain high quality educational programs and services.”

Doll’s 800-word letter, available on the district’s website, outlines the basic circumstances the Lawrence district faces as it awaits expected budget cuts from the state government under a newly formed block grant system.

According to a late

March spreads h e e t from the Kansas State Department of Education, Doll the Lawr e n c e school district can expect a $1.6 million cut in its local option budget and a $320,000 cut in its capital outlay fund.

In the letter, Doll said cuts of this magnitude could force the district to react in a combination of ways, including dipping into its savings, allowing a property tax increase or deleting various school services Please see LETTER, page 2A

School finance appeal on hold Fire

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

Topeka — The Kansas Supreme Court said Thursday that it will not consider another appeal of the ongoing school finance case until after a threejudge panel in Topeka finishes its deliberations.

In a three-page order released late Thursday, the justices said the district court panel has jurisdiction over all issues in the case, and that Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s appeal of that panel’s latest rulings will have to wait.

That order provided some measure of clarity to the status of a constitutional lawsuit that has grown more complicated by the month.

The case was filed in 2010, after then-Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat, and the Republican-led Legislature began cutting school funding in the wake of the Great Recession. The plaintiffs argued that the cuts made overall school funding unconstitu-

or positions.

The district’s Finance Advisory Council will make recommendations to the school board in May, wrote Doll, who was unavailable for comment Thursday.

School board president Shannon Kimball said the board and Doll felt it necessary to reach out to the community.

Kimball and board vice president Vanessa Sanburn both said it was too early to discuss where the Lawrence school district is likely to make cuts, but she would favor getting what the district can out of local property taxes.

“I would not choose to cut programs if it leaves money on the table in the local option budget,” Kimball said.

Local option budgets are a way for school districts to supplement the

revenue estimates.

Those estimates, which were released April 20, said the state now expects to collect about $98 million less in the next fiscal year than previously thought.

And the news got mildly worse Thursday when the Department of Revenue reported that tax collections for the month of April came in $4.4 million below estimates for the month, due mainly to lower-thanexpected corporate income tax receipts.

“We know what’s been going on with employment and its growth,” said Chris Courtright, senior tax analyst for the Legislature’s nonpartisan Research Department. “The great question is to what extent would some of that growth have been there anyway or what part of it would have been stimulated as a result of the new tax law changes. And to my knowledge, I don’t think anyone has any specific numbers for you on that.”

Much of the focus now is on the complete exemption from state taxes for certain nonwage, or “passthrough,” income from certain kinds of business operations. That’s business income from a sole proprietorship, limited partnership or other type of corporation that simply passes through to the business owners and is normally taxed as personal income instead of business income.

Initially, state officials thought the pass-through exemption would eliminate taxes for about 190,000

tionally low, and that some of the cuts fell disproportionately on the poorest school districts.

After a trial, the threejudge panel ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on both counts, finding funding levels both inadequate and inequitable.

It ordered the state to increase funding by an estimated $450 million to $500 million a year.

Last year, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s equity ruling and ordered the state to increase certain kinds of funding that targets poor districts. But it remanded the adequacy question back to the three-judge panel to be reconsidered using a different standard.

Since then, the case has ballooned in complexity.

In December, the panel reaffirmed its earlier ruling and said overall funding was still inadequate.

But it said the equity fixes enacted by the Legislature last year had solved that part of the case.

But Kansas lawmak-

ers have since rescinded some of the additional funding they provided last year. And more importantly, they have repealed the entire school funding formula that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it with a system of block grants.

Now the plaintiffs are asking the panel to reopen the equity question of the case, arguing that the recent cuts have again disadvantaged poor districts. Also, they have asked the panel to declare the new block grant formula unconstitutional and to issue an injunction to prevent it from going into effect.

In its order Thursday, the Supreme Court did not throw out Schmidt’s appeal, but instead put it on hold until the district court panel issues its rulings.

The next hearing before the panel is scheduled for May 7.

general fund aid they receive from the state. For some districts, the state funds a portion of the LOB. But under the block-grant funding bill that lawmakers passed this year, Lawrence and many other districts will receive less LOB aid from the state.

As a result, the Lawrence district would have the option of raising local property taxes even further to make up for the decrease in state aid, or it could absorb the loss by reducing some of its expenses. However, it does not have the option of raising taxes to make up for the reduction in capital outlay aid.

It would take a 2-mill increase to cover $2 million in cuts, according to the school district. A mill is $1 in taxes for every $1,000 in assessed valuation.

“I think we have a responsibility to take full advantage of the finances that are available to us because we have more needs than we have mon-

ey,” Kimball said.

Sanburn said that the district would seek feedback from the community before making a decision.

Lawrence lawmakers were not surprised when they learned of the letter.

“The challenge is that what’s going to happen is, Lawrencians and other Kansans aren’t going to realize it’s not the school district’s fault,” said Rep. John Wilson, a Democrat.

“It’s the fault of the state at this point.”

Kimball said Doll and school board members have repeatedly provided testimony and contacted legislators to advocate for an improved school funding formula. But Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence, said nothing can be done.

“The majority of legislators are not going to revisit school finance,” he said.

“They will appropriate the money to fund what was passed and signed.”

small businesses. But the Department of Revenue now says about 330,000 business owners are claiming the exemption.

Those include many farms and small businesses that people operate out of their homes, as well as certain law firms, medical practices and other businesses that organize as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations or “subchapter S corporations,” which pass all of their corporate income, losses, deductions and credits to their shareholders.

Richard Cram, director of policy and research for the Department of Revenue, said an analysis of 2014 tax filings showed that 8,800 new business entities were created last year, based on the number of tax filers who claimed exemptions for certain nonwage income that is no longer taxed by the state.

But Rep. Tom Sawyer, of Wichita, the ranking Democrat on the panel, said it was hard to tell whether that number was exceptional or below average.

“You think about that number, there’s always going to be new businesses coming on, old businesses coming off,” Sawyer said.

“You’re going to have to have 10,000 or 15,000 new each year just to sustain that kind of number. So if we only have 8,800 total, it sounds like we’re lagging behind a normal year, not above a normal year.”

As lawmakers now look for new revenues to fill the state’s budget hole, even some Republicans who supported the tax cuts in 2012 now say they’re willing to consider revisiting

some of them, especially the pass-through exemption, which they say went further than they were led to believe three years ago.

Sen. Jim Denning, ROverland Park, has said he intends to introduce a bill that would reimpose taxes on the first $118,500 of business owner income. And Rep. Marvin Kleeb, also of Overland Park, who chairs the House tax panel, has said some adjustment to the pass-through income exemption will at least be considered as a final tax package is put together.

But other Republicans are more reluctant to reconsider changing course on income taxes.

“What worries me is by raising taxes do you still think that Kansas will be a leading place for growth where people will want to come and raise their family, retire and start a business,” said Rep. Ken Corbet, RTopeka, a member of the House tax panel.

Rep. Kasha Kelley, RArkansas City, said she wants to see more data on business creation in Kansas before the committee considers rolling back any of the tax cuts.

“It’s very tough to make the decisions that we’re going to be making right now because we aren’t so far out from tax plan of 2012, but obviously there’s something there that’s tilling the soil,” Kelley said.

The Department of Revenue said it would try to have more comprehensive information for the committee’s next meeting Monday.

has rented a commercial kitchen in town to work on new recipes for artisan doughnuts, which she said will be a larger part of the business when the diner reopens. Heriford said she recently was experimenting with a salted caramel popcorn doughnut with bourbon icing, another one that featured mango and chiles and one that had espresso icing with cornflakes and bacon.

Heriford said work is continuing on the building rehabilitation, and she said it is much more extensive than she ever thought.

“The extent of the smoke damage caught us all off guard,” Heriford said. “I walked in after the fire and saw that we didn’t have any structural damage. We had a basement full of water, but I thought we would have everything cleaned up in a couple of days.”

Instead, Heriford has found that removing the smoke odor from the restaurant is complicated. The entire ceiling had to be removed, and new duct work also is required. Once the smoke issue is taken care of, there is a lot of work for the restaurant to reopen. Furnishings will have to be reinstalled, and a staff will have to be hired and trained again, Heriford said.

Heriford is trying to keep the Ladybird in the Lawrence food scene in the interim by selling pie from her sidewalk dining area every couple of weeks. She also has reached a deal where The Bourgeois Pig, 6 E. Ninth St., is selling Ladybird pies on the weekend.

Next door at Biggs on Mass, the latest plans are for the barbecue restaurant to reopen sometime in June. Owner Doug Holiday said he’s received a building permit from city officials, and work is underway to rebuild the back area of the building where the fire started. A major part of the renovation work at Biggs involves replacing all the electrical panels in the building, which were damaged by the water.

“There are no winners in this deal,” Holiday said. “Well, maybe the cleaning companies.”

Jefferson’s, 743 Massachusetts St., is the third business that is closed due to fire damage. Fire struck that building on Jan. 15, but it appears it may still have the most work to do to reopen.

Brandon Graham, an owner of Jefferson’s, told me that he hopes to reopen sometime in August but said it is

still too early to know whether that timetable is feasible.

“It is a complete remodel at this point,” Graham said.

Graham said the rebuilding process was complicated by the fact he did not have access to the building for a full month after the fire. Insurance officials were still investigating the cause of the fire.

Graham said he still doesn’t know exactly what happened. An old air make-up unit on the roof played a role in the fire, but Graham said a transformer near the building also blew up near the time of the fire.

Graham said he’s not yet learned whether a surge from the transformer caused a problem in the rooftop unit or if something else occurred that caused the fire and the transformer problems.

At this point, Graham is focused on getting the restaurant reopened. He said the restaurant — which was known for burgers, wings and other sports bar fare — will come back with much of the same look and feel.

One thing that won’t be back, though, are the thousands of decorated dollar bills that adorned the walls of the restaurant.

“They were ruined,” Graham said. “Everything stunk. We took them down and took them to the bank.”

How many were there? Well, you’ll get a chance to guess that.

The restaurant plans to hold a contest where patrons guess how many dollar bills were on the wall. The winner will receive free wings for a year. Graham said the restaurant will restart the tradition where patrons can decorate a dollar and have it posted on the wall.

Graham said he’s optimistic the crowds will return to the restaurant once it reopens.

“We get quite a few questions about when we are going to reopen,” Graham said.

“That makes us feel good that people in the community care about what is going on with us. I feel for our neighbors up the street who are going through it, too. It is a difficult thing to deal with.”

MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS take part in a “Take Back The Night” march from the Kansas Union to South Park to speak out against sexual assault on Thursday.

of people gathered at the Kansas Union to speak out against sexual assault.

Students, community members, children and dogs gathered for “Take Back the Night,” a solidarity march put on by the GaDuGi SafeCenter, a local advocacy group for victims of sexual assault.

Handmade signs addressing the issue peppered the crowd of about 50 participants.

— Melody Wagler, GaDuGi SafeCenter volunteer

The signs read: “Unless she says yes, the answer is no.”

“Consent is hot, assault is not.”

“Rape is not the presence of no, it’s the absence of yes.”

Heikkila, the SafeCenter’s executive director, spoke forcefully into her microphone

about what it means to be a victim of sexual assault.

“It’s something you keep with you all the time,” she told the crowd. “It can come up when you don’t want it to come up, and it’s different for everyone.”

Shortly after 7 p.m., the group began chant-

ing “take back the night” in unison and marching from Kansas University’s campus and toward South Park.

“We wanted the march to connect the campus to the community and vice versa,” said Rachel Gadd-Nelson, the SafeCenter’s director of community engagement.

At South Park, the group continued the discussion, hosting a community rally and a speak-out circle.

Longtime KU professor accused by student of sexual harassment loses appeal in court

By Sara Shepherd Twitter: @saramarieshep

The Kansas Court of Appeals has sided with Kansas University in the case of a longtime professor accused of groping a student during a study session at a restaurant.

Zamir Bavel, a tenured professor of Information Processing Studies who has taught at KU since 1968, was disciplined by KU after the female student accused him of sexually harassing her in 2011.

Bavel sued the university in Douglas County District Court in 2012, claiming that KU failed to provide him due process to prove his innocence before finding him guilty and docking his pay.

After losing in district court, Bavel appealed his case in 2014.

The appeals court ruled on the matter this month, affirming the lower court’s ruling 2-1.

“Bavel’s chief complaint is that there was no hearing in his case where witnesses were called and examined, cross-examined, and the University would have to prove that his conduct merited sanctions,” according to the court’s memorandum opinion. “This proceeding in employment discipline is an administrative proceeding, not a formal criminal trial.”

The opinion says KU followed its discrimination complaint process and gave Bavel opportunities to share his side of the story, in writing and verbally with adjudicators.

The dissenting judge, Anthony Powell, disagreed that KU gave Bav-

“

While the University perhaps had an interest in promptly resolving the conflict, allowing Bavel one final hearing to cross-examine his accuser would not have represented a heavy burden regardless of Bavel’s chances for success.”

— Anthony Powell, dissenting judge el sufficient due process, even though its own rules allow for more.

The U.S. Supreme Court case cited by other judges (Cleveland Board of Education v. Loudermill) occurred in Ohio, where law provided for a full post-termination hearing, Powell said in the opinion.

E! M CLE d Y REC ay 2n M

“While the University perhaps had an interest in promptly resolving the conflict, allowing Bavel one final hearing to cross-examine his accuser would not have represented a heavy burden regardless of Bavel’s chances for success,” Powell said.

Bavel, reached via

email, declined to comment on the ruling but his attorney, Curtis Barnhill, sent a statement on his behalf.

“Among other things, this case is about fundamental fairness and due process of law,” Barnhill wrote. “We are of course disappointed that the Court of Appeals three judge panel found against Dr. Bavel on a 2-1 decision. We are heartened by the strong dissenting opinion, however, and are considering our options.”

Topeka — Hundreds of disabled individuals, along with their families and their advocates, rallied at the Statehouse Thursday to call for full funding of social services that they rely on to continue living independently.

Many of those attending were people with physical and developmental disabilities that are so severe they qualify under Medicaid to live in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities.

But with certain kinds of

nonmedical assistance known as “home and community based services,” they are able to live on their own or with their families. Those services include things like help with personal hygiene, house cleaning and monitoring a person’s sleep and medication.

Although Kansas lawmakers have not yet proposed cuts to those services — in fact, the state’s total social services budget is expected to grow by $138 million — advocates for those individuals say they worry Please see RALLY, page 4A

Sex predator program could move due to labor shortage

By Nicholas Clayton Associated Press

Topeka — Persistent staffing problems at Larned State Hospital are driving up costs and leading some lawmakers to consider moving its sexual predator treatment program to a new location.

Kansas currently commits offenders deemed to be sexual predators to the hospital. A state auditor’s report released Tuesday said the facility is already

understaffed and its rural location 100 miles west of Wichita does not have enough potential workers to serve the program’s increasing population.

The program is currently treating 258 offenders and only three have been released since 1994. The report found that program is growing by 10 to 15 residents per year and lead legislative auditor Scott Frank said it is “too big now to support in that labor market and when it doubles it’s going

employees are frequently pulling double shifts.

Twenty states and the District of Columbia have similar programs, and a survey of 15 of those states by the Sex Offender Civil Commitment Programs Network found that four had a vacancy rate of 20 percent or more. The survey said 12 of the 15 programs housed offenders in rural facilities.

Proctor said the issue is not so much one of location, but of high turnover due to poor pay and work condi-

tions. She said many quit because they feel it’s not worth the safety risk.

Tom Kinlen, Larned’s superintendent, said the hospital has increased the hourly wages for mental health technicians from $12.61 to $13.61 to attract more staff, and it continues to work on ways to recruit enough workers despite its rural setting. He declined to give a specific number of positions that are currently open within the program, but said it was “more than a dozen.”

KU law school names three distinguished alumni The Kansas University School of Law has named three attorneys as recipients of its Distinguished Alumni Award, the law school’s highest honor.

They are John W. (Jack) Brand, a retired Lawrence attorney from the class of 1959; Nicholas Kittrie, an international criminal law expert from the class of 1950; and Kansas Supreme Court

Chief Justice Lawton Nuss, class of 1982, according to KU. Brand, Kittrie and Nuss are to receive their awards at a private event this weekend.

The Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes law school graduates for their professional achievements, contributions to the legal field and service to their communities and the school.

The Board announced Wednesday that the committee is comprised of Emporia State students, staff and faculty. It will include faculty representatives from all of its colleges as well as the university’s foundation and alumni boards, the Board of Regents and the Emporia community.

Manhattan — Kansas State University has awarded $500,000 in grants to faculty members who are researching way to boost food production as the world population grows.

The university says the Kansas Department of Commerce provided the grant money, which will be divided among nine projects. One of the projects is a three-day symposium to increase education and food production in urban settings. Other projects will look into irrigation and improving the beef transport system.

An 11-member panel of faculty members and students evaluated the grant requests. The effort is part

Chenault said Haskell did not have the funding, staffing, equipment or facilities of many schools but that its athletes have “competed and excelled despite the disadvantages.”

Several Haskell athletes said Thursday that while losing their conference was disappointing, it would not spur them to transfer.

Kortney Meat, a sophomore from Kingfisher, Okla., came to Haskell for basketball. She and teammates were initially upset about the conference news because they didn’t think they’d have a chance to play for nationals — a driving force all

season long.

However, she said, they were told they would still have a chance at playing for a national title, though their schedule would be different and they would be playing other independent schools.

“The goal is to get to nationals, every year,” Meat said.

Another downside of playing outside a conference would be missing out on conference honors such as scholar-athlete and honorable mention awards, Meat said.

Softball player Lacie Unah, a sophomore from Anadarko, Okla., said she would miss playing in a conference tournament but would be back next year.

“Even though we’re going independent, I’m just glad to still be playing softball,” she said.

Its purpose is to prepare a plan containing policy and funding recommendations to boost local foods.

Haskell has men’s and women’s basketball, cross country and track and field teams, according to the Haskell Athletics website. There is also men’s football and golf, and women’s softball and volleyball, according to the website.

The Midland Collegiate Athletic Conference’s other two remaining schools, Central Christian College and the College of the Ozarks, also will have independent status next year, according to Haskell. This academic year six other schools announced they would leave the conference to join others.

KanCare savings?

A privatized Medicaid program may benefit the state budget, but are Medicaid clients, care providers and insurers paying the price?

S

o how is the new privatized Medicaid program — known as KanCare — working for the state?

According to reports released this week, it isn’t working all that well for the three companies that have contracted with the state to run the KanCare system. The report indicated that the three companies — Sunflower Health Plan, United HealthCare and Amerigroup — lost a total of $52.5 million on their KanCare services last year. But look on the bright side; that’s less than half of the $116 million they lost in 2013, the first year for KanCare.

Company officials reportedly expected to lose money in the first years of KanCare, when the system was getting up and running, but how much were they expecting to lose and how long will those losses be acceptable? United HealthCare recorded the smallest loss last year, $1.5 million, and a company official said this week “we actually feel really good about the progress we’re making.” However he declined to predict the company would actually turn a profit this year.

All three companies are in the third year of their three-year contracts with the state. Will they be willing to renew contracts that are losing money?

There was a lot of concern about the services that KanCare clients would receive from the privatized system, but there hasn’t been as much in the news about that recently. Maybe that’s because KanCare has gone for more than a year without an inspector general, the person charged with investigating and protecting against fraud, waste and other misconduct in the privatized system. State officials say they have been unable to fill the position at the salary that’s being offered.

How about hospitals in the state?

They have been vocal in their support of finding a way to accept federal Medicaid funding to expand KanCare and serve more clients. That issue may or may not be among those considered in the current wrap-up session.

In the meantime, among Gov. Brownback’s recent budget-balancing proposals is one that would require hospitals to pay an additional $19 million in fees in the next fiscal year to help sustain the KanCare program. The state uses those fees to help attract federal money that goes back to hospitals to pay for care for KanCare patients. Does that mean the hospitals essentially are paying themselves to provide that care? At the same time, the governor is seeking to reduce the state’s Medicaid spending by almost $33 million through the end of June 2016. Will that result in greater losses for the KanCare contractors?

One of the governor’s stated goals for the privatized KanCare system was to reduce the state’s Medicaid costs. That may be happening, but if the state is reducing its own costs by reducing patient services or forcing additional financial burdens on hospitals and insurance carriers, this system seems neither acceptable or sustainable.

History distorted in brilliant drama Washington — “Wolf Hall,” the Man Booker Prizewinning historical novel about the court of Henry VIII — and most dramatically, the conflict between Thomas Cromwell and Sir Thomas More — is now a TV series (presented on PBS). It is maddeningly good.

Maddening because its history is tendentiously distorted, yet the drama is so brilliantly conceived and executed that you almost don’t care. Faced with an imaginative creation of such brooding, gripping, mordant intensity, you find yourself ready to pay for it in historical inaccuracy.

And “Wolf Hall’s” revisionism is breathtaking. It inverts the conventional view of the saintly More being undone by the corrupt, amoral, serpentine Cromwell, the king’s chief minister. This is fiction as polemic. Author Hilary Mantel, an ex- and anti-Catholic (“the Catholic Church is not an institution for respectable people”), has set out to rehabilitate Cromwell and defenestrate More, most especially the More of Robert Bolt’s beautiful and hagiographic “A Man for All Seasons.”

Who’s right? Neither fully, though “Wolf Hall’s” depiction of More as little more than a cruel heretic-burning hypocrite is particularly provocative, if not perverse.

To be sure, More-worship is somewhat overdrawn, as even the late Cardinal

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer.com

“

When such a distortion of history produces such a wonderfully successful piece of fiction, we are forced to ask: What license are we to grant to the historical novel?”

Francis George warned at a 2012 convocation of bishops.

More had his flaws. He may have been a man for all seasons but he was also a man of his times. And in those times of merciless contention between Rome and the Reformation, the pursuit and savage persecution of heresy were the norm.

Indeed, when Cromwell achieved power, he persecuted Catholics with a zeal and thoroughness that surpassed even More’s persecution of Protestants. “Wolf Hall’s” depiction of Cromwell as a man of great sensitivity and deep feeling is, therefore, even harder to credit. He was cruel and cunning, quite

monstrous both in pursuit of personal power and wealth, and in serving the whims and wishes of his royal master.

Nonetheless, Cromwell’s modern reputation will be enhanced by Mark Rylance’s brilliant and sympathetic cinematic portrayal, featuring a stillness and economy of expression that is at once mesmerizing and humanizing.

The nature of the modern audience helps too. In this secular age beset by throat-slashing religious fanatics, we are far more disposed to despise excessive piety and celebrate the pragmatic, if ruthless, modernizer.

Which Cromwell was, as the chief engineer of Henry’s Reformation. He crushed the Roman church, looted the monasteries and nationalized faith by subordinating clergy to king. That may flatter today’s reflexive anticlericalism. But we do well to remember that the centralized state Cromwell helped midwife did prepare the ground, over the coming centuries, for the rise of the rational, willful, thought-controlling, indeed all-controlling, state.

However, “Wolf Hall” poses questions not just political but literary. When such a distortion of history produces such a wonderfully successful piece of fiction, we are forced to ask: What license are we to grant to the historical novel?

For all the learned answers, in reality it comes down to temporal proximity. If the

event is in the recent past, you’d better be accurate. Oliver Stone’s paranoid and libelous “JFK” will be harmless in 50 years, but it will take that long for the stench to dissipate. On the other hand, does anyone care that Shakespeare diverges from the record (such as it is) in his Caesar or Macbeth or his Henrys?

Time turns them to legend. We don’t feel it much matters anymore. There is the historical Caesar and there is Shakespeare’s Caesar. They live side by side.

The film reviewer Stanley Kauffmann said much the same about David Lean’s “Lawrence of Arabia” vs. the real T.E. Lawrence. They diverge. Accept them each on their own terms, as separate and independent realities.

(After all, Lawrence’s own account, “Seven Pillars of Wisdom,” offers magnificent prose but quite unreliable history as well.)

So with the different versions of More and Cromwell. Let them live side by side. “Wolf Hall” is utterly compelling, but I nonetheless refuse to renounce “A Man For All Seasons.” I’ll live with both Mores, both Cromwells. After all, for centuries we’ve accepted that light is both wave and particle. If physics can live with maddening truths, why can’t literature and history?

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for May 1, 1915: years “The family of ago W. H. Pendleton IN 1915 telephoned the Journal-World this afternoon asking that the autoists of the city be asked to remember that Mr. Pendleton is seriously sick and that the noise of the passing autos worries him.

Undoubtedly those having cars will remember this request and will try to make as little noise as possible when passing his home on Tennessee Street.”

Helpful neighbors replace KU’s Big Event

By Sadie Deaton

I want to take this opportunity to speak about the KU Big Event, its cancellation and my wonderful neighbors. I am an elderly woman and, unfortunately, on March 9, I fell in my home and broke my shoulder. I still have problems and I am currently in physical therapy. I didn’t know what I was going to do in the coming spring with all the yard work that needed to be done but I participated in the KU Big Event two years ago.

It was a godsend to me and has been for other elderly people in our community, helping us stay in our homes longer than we would if we were on our own. I tried to participate last year but was told that it was closed. I called again this year hoping to get on their list due to my injury. I had not heard back from anyone at the Big Event until I called around the first of April only to be told it was closed yet again. I was very disappointed but thought I could try and do my yard work myself.

The Saturday before the Big Event I was trying to rake with one hand when my neighbor, Rebecca, saw me and she asked, “Should you be doing that?” I told her it needed to be done to which she replied, “Well, I got a little time.” She was helping

YOUR TURN me clean and trim my flower beds when I got a phone call.

The Big Event called to tell me that they had 23 additional volunteers and I was placed back on the schedule. I was very grateful and relieved after a woman from the Big Event” came to my house to see what needed to be done.

I was aware that there might be storms on the day of the Big Event but did not know it was canceled until the Friday night before the event. My other neighbor, Kim, came over saying, “I’m the Big Event.” I didn’t understand what she meant until she explained that it had been canceled due to the weather. Over the last few weeks, she cleaned out the rest of my flower beds, trimming my rose bushes and planting some flowers.

I am so grateful to have wonderful neighbors, including some who brought food, and I hope all the elderly who were impacted by the cancellation of the Big Event had people to help them as well. I am also grateful for all the volunteers with the Big Event and I hope that it continues to assist the elderly in our community. I look forward to the Big Event next year.

PUBLIC FORUM

School access To the editor: Each morning between 8 and 9:30 and each afternoon between 2 and 3:30, from Monday through Friday, there are cars lined up for a half mile at Deerfield School as parents drop off and pick up their children. This situation is no doubt replicated across the remaining grade schools in Lawrence If one questions why children are not walking to school, the answers often speak of bullying or fear of abduction. These are certainly legitimate concerns.

Child safety must be our greatest concern. However, the current practice involves a waste of gasoline and the deprivation of exercise that children gain by walking to school. Moreover, lines of cars create a dangerous situation for children.

Perhaps the issue of monitoring to prevent bullying or other dangers could be addressed by having responsible adults such as available parents or retired people placed a intervals along the sidewalks. Additionally, a police car could be stationed at each school during pick-up and drop-off times. Placing police cars at the schools would teach children that the police are there to protect them. Such an arrangement could solve the problem of bullying and fear of abduction.

What we have suggested may or may not be feasible, but there must be a better way to move children to and from school. Perhaps safe, economical movement of children to and from school could be a project for parent-teacher associations.

Rita and Joe Spradlin, Lawrence

Gun concerns To the editor: The call is out: Deny Iran nuclear weapons — and the ability to make one. Our friends in Israel are scared and urge us to take a stronger stand. (But it’s OK for Israel to have such weapons?)

They argue, safety requires such threats/possibilities to be eliminated.

Am I confused? Our governor and legislators say it is OK for legal gun owners to carry those guns, even concealed. Am I to assume no threats and thus no fear?

Don Conrad, Lawrence

George set bond at $500,000 for both defendants. If they post bail, Li and Xiao will have to submit to GPS monitoring.

At her first appearance Thursday, Xiao asked through a Mandarin interpreter why her bond was “so high” and said she “did not agree” to the crimes alleged. Li remained silent, allowing his attorney to speak on his behalf.

If found guilty of the charges, Li and Xiao could face up to 653 months in prison for each count of aggravated human trafficking and 17 months in prison for each count of promoting the sale of sexual relations, George said. If convicted of her selling sexual relations charge, Xiao would face a six-month sentence and as much as a $1,000 fine.

Li and Xiao remain in the Douglas County Jail on their $500,000 bonds.

Xiao will make her next court appearance Monday, and Li is scheduled to appear next on May 18.

on Spring Massage, 600 Lawrence Ave., and a Lawrence residence Tuesday “seeking additional evidence related to sexual crimes alleged to have occurred at the massage parlor,” said Lawrence police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley.

Xiao and Li were arrested later that day.

Charging documents allege that from Feb. 6 to April 28, Li benefitted financially from participating in the “recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision or obtaining of” a woman used for involuntary sexual services, resulting in the trafficking charge.

Xiao is accused of “harboring, transporting, providing or obtaining” two different women — one from Feb. 6 to April 28 and another from April 24 to April 28 — for the use of forced sexual services, according to charging documents. Xiao is also alleged to have offered sexual services for pay on Jan. 6.

Though neither McKinley nor Simpson could comment on whether Li and Xiao own Spring Massage, charging documents accuse Li and Xiao of owning or maintaining a property “where sexual relations are being

Multiple online postings list the price for an hourlong service at Spring Massage as $60, cash only. Listed among witnesses in the charging documents are the records custodians of two such websites, backpage. com and a website whose name includes a sexually explicit phrase.

McKinley said Wednesday that the searches and arrests were the culmination of a joint investigation with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office that had been underway for several months.

In 2013, Li and Xiao pleaded no contest to charges of promoting prostitution after a police raid on two massage businesses in Bonner Springs, according to municipal court records. A Bonner Springs municipal court judge found Li and Xiao guilty, and both were required to pay a $600 fine and court costs. They did not receive jail sentences because the crimes were city misdemeanor offenses, a Bonner Springs municipal court employee told the Journal-World.

JAY MAIDMENT, MARVEL

President Obama would “very rarely, if ever” grant pardons for major drug offenses and gun crimes, according to White House memos that reveal a cautious approach to his pardon power.

WASHINGTON

Those memos, obtained by USA TODAY, may partly explain Obama’s historically infrequent use of his constitutional power to grant pardons. But even as Obama has “revamped” the pardon office in an effort to get more pardon applications, his official policy on granting pardons has remained unchanged.

That policy was outlined in a 2010 memo from the White House counsel and modeled after the policy of President George W. Bush. It outlined six categories of crimes for which clemency would be rarely granted.

Indeed, Obama kept Bush’s

“It takes you four ... years to figure out that you’re not getting the cases you want?”

Douglas Berman, Ohio State University

2001 pardon policy in place for the first 18 months of his presidency, before issuing his own guidance to the Office of Pardon Attorney in July 2010.

Critics of Obama’s lackluster use of the pardon say that 2010 memo shows Obama shouldn’t be

surprised at the recommendations he’s getting from the Justice Department office that screens pardon applications.

“It’s a memo that comes out 18 months after you take the oath, and that essentially tweaks a prior memo form a prior administration that no one thinks was doing a great job in this respect,” said Douglas Berman, a law professor at Ohio State University.

“And then it takes you four more years to figure out that you’re not getting the cases you want to get?

Well, you’re not really looking.” v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO “FIGHT OF THE CENTURY”

Josh Peter

@joshpeter11 USA TODAY Sports LAS VEGAS As the showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao draws near, there is one unavoidable question: Who’s going to win the fight?

Before the boxers even step into the ring Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, there is already one clear winner.

It’s Vegas, baby.

The mega fight — the Fight of the Decade, Fight of the Century, or Fight of the Millennium, depending on who’s holding the bullhorn — is attracting tens of thousands of visitors who want a taste of one of the most highly anticipated matchups in more than a decade.

The city’s 150,000 rooms are expected to be near capacity, said hotel executives such as Phillip Auerbach, a senior vice president of Caesars Entertainment. Up to $100 million will be wagered on the fight at Nevada sports books, said Jay Kornegay, vice president of the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. And tickets to simply watch the fight on TV in town are on sale at StubHub for up to $1,000.

‘IT’S GOING TO ECLIPSE EVERYTHING’ FIGHT FANS AND GAMBLERS POUR INTO VEGAS BY THE THOUSANDS TO SEE BOXING’S TOP 2 GLADIATORS CLASH AT LAST

JOE CAMPOREALE, USA TODAY SPORTS

So forget about Mayweather and Pacquiao for a moment, because Auerbach has another prediction: This weekend will be bigger than New Year’s Eve, when more than 300,000 visitors pack the city.

“Looking back over the last several fights, the Super Bowl, the last couple of New Year’s Eves, this is going to eclipse all that,” Auerbach told USA TODAY Sports. “It’s going to eclipse everything.”

The fight has arguably eclipsed everything when it comes to hype. It is likely to set the record for pay-per-view sales, surpassing the 2.4 million purchases made in 2007 for Mayweather’s victory over Oscar De La Hoya.

Mayweather and Pacquiao are the top boxers of their era and have been teasing boxing fans for years with a possible matchup.

Mayweather, 38, who has a 47-0 record, and Pacquiao, 36, at 575-2, are entering the twilight of their careers, but anticipation for the bout is at a fever pitch.

The outcome will be measured by punches landed and pain inflicted by the two men, as well as in dollars made, and no accountants figure to be busier than v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Running on empty, beloved NASA craft dives to its doom Messenger gives in to Mercury’s pull but sends images home Traci Watson

Special for USA TODAY

Its fuel tanks empty and its options gone, NASA’s Messenger spacecraft smashed into planet Mercury on Thursday afternoon after valiantly fighting off the inevitable.

Engineers calculated that the spacecraft, traveling a scorching 8,700 mph, bombed into the planet’s heavily pockmarked sur-

face at 3:26 p.m. ET Thursday. It was not a gentle goodbye: The impact probably pulverized the car-size spaceship and gouged out a 50-foot crater — big enough to accommodate a school bus — near Mercury’s north pole.

The spacecraft probably bellyflopped onto the cratered terrain on the far side of Mercury, when the ship was out of contact with Earth. Engineers confirmed its death when they could not pick up a signal from the craft.

“We monitored Messenger’s beacon signal for about 20 additional minutes,” said mission operations manager Andy Calloway of the Johns Hopkins University

Applied Physics Laboratory. “It was strange to think during that time Messenger had already impacted, but we could not confirm it immediately due to the vast distance across space between Mercury and Earth.”

“We’re really sad to see this, because Messenger has been a fabulous mission,” Brown University’s James Head, a co-investigator on the mission, said before the impact.

At least Messenger went down with a fight and in a blaze of glory.

Edging ever closer to Mercury because of the effects of the sun’s gravity, the ship, its fuel tanks dry, was supposed to meet its destiny

“We’re really sad to see this, because Messenger has been a fabulous mission.”

James Head, Brown University

in March.

But creative engineers bought their craft an extra month of life by repurposing Messenger’s stockpile of helium, used to pressurize the fuel tanks. Leftover he-

lium was expelled from the spacecraft’s thrusters, nudging the ship away from the looming surface.

The spacecraft’s new lease on life allowed scientists an intimate look at the tiny, scarred planet that Messenger has orbited for the past four years. The bad news, Head says, was that the ship would eventually get too close, but there’s “good news about the bad news … the closer you are, the higher-resolution images you get.” Scientists took advantage of the view by peering into craters that hide pockets of ice and searching for magnetic fields at the planet’s surface.

VOICES

Nepal a country rattled to the core

that of disorganization and lack of guidance.

Early Thursday, under a gray drizzly sky, I walked through Kathmandu’s centuries-old Darbar Square. Most of the brick and carved-wood temples are

Donatella Lorch

Special for USA TODAY

Life now is divided into “before” and “after.”

Days and dates have been filtered out, replaced by the overwhelming needs of people around me and a constant gnawing sense of loss and anxiety. I have lived in Kathmandu for almost two years, and this is now my home.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake of April 25 has only reinforced that feeling. My days now are spent juggling two worlds that constantly overlap: that of a mother with the responsibility for a 10-year-old son, a home and six extended Nepali families that in one way or another have worked for us, and also that of being a reporter.

Like everyone else, I have anxieties and am on edge waiting for the next aftershock and have a constant “earthquake hangover” — the feeling of being frequently dizzy and off-balance.

I comb my area stores to stock up on food and water and plastic tarps for dozens of people. The daily downpours have made life miserable for hundreds of thousands of Nepalis whose homes were destroyed.

It is the first line of our greetings now: “Is your house OK?” The answers are numbingly repetitive. Some of the Nepalis I know have lost everything except for whatever they have managed to salvage by digging through rubble or running in KATHMANDU

The city seems to be descending into another type of chaos: that of disorganization and lack of guidance.

“At every pile of rubble I pass,” writes Donatella Lorch, here at Kathmandu’s Darbar Square, “I remember what it looked like before and then I pause knowing I will never see it again.” and out of teetering houses.

My friend Keshav Tapa Magar lives in the village of Koth Gaun perched on one of the highest southern hills encircling the Kathmandu Valley. When I visited it a few months ago, I had the feeling of soaring above the world, like an eagle geared up with a camera.

The village consists of 75 traditional houses made of hardpacked tawny red mud and bricks and matching tiled roofs.

Today Koth Gaun, like many other villages, is no more. Not one house is left standing.

It is not just the ancient temples and stupas that have crum-

bled, but a whole way of life.

Nepal’s allure to the outside world has been its monuments, its mountains and its people. All have been terribly battered. At every pile of rubble I pass, I remember what it looked like before and then I pause knowing I will never see it again.

Before the quake, I’d joke with my husband that it was almost impossible to get an editor to show a glimmer of interest in a Nepal story unless it involved Everest. Within hours of the quake, I was bombarded with requests from as far as Australia and Colombia and job offers from NGOs on their way in.

The “Big One” has brought massive international aid and hordes of journalists. Yet much of the story is outside of the valley, in areas blocked by landslides, far from cell connections and difficult to access. That story remains to be told.

The government seems to be at a loss, and so far less than 10% of the aid that has come into the country has made it out of Kathmandu Valley. The heavy aid planes keep coming, on Wednesday cracking Kathmandu’s single runway so badly that it had to be closed for repairs.

The city seems to be descending into another type of chaos:

rubble. The main square is now home to red and blue tarpaulins, their huddled inhabitants making tea and chatting.

Less than 15 feet away is the white Rana palace, partially fallen down. Marching up the muddy road was an orangeuniformed Japanese searchand-rescue team, stopped in front of a group of Nepali policemen digging through the rubble of a temple by hand. They exchanged a few words with the police, but there seemed to be no urgency in their work. We are in Day 6, and finding survivors is against the odds.

Less than 13 kilometers away in Bungamati, more than 60% of the houses had been destroyed and not a single international aid agency had shown up. A total disconnect between needs and aid delivery.

Leaked memo shows Obama’s take on pardons v CONTINUED FROM 1B

The White House says Obama has an “ongoing commitment” to clemency and plans to review more requests in the coming months. In March, Obama shortened the sentences of 22 people convicted of drug crimes.

“The president believes strongly that a critical component of our criminal justice system is for deserving and qualified applicants to have the ability to petition for clemency,” said Brandi Hoffine, an assistant White House press secretary.

The Constitution gives the president “Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States.” And for much of the nation’s history, presidents have used that power frequently to forgive past crimes, restore civil rights, show mercy and correct injustices.

But that power has withered over the last 40 years. President Nixon pardoned 51% of applications received, according to statistics compiled by political scientist P.S. Ruckman Jr. For Bush, the rate was 7.6%.

And for Obama, it’s half of that.

Both Bush and Obama gave instructions that said they would look unfavorably on pardon applications in certain categories: terrorism and national security cases; violent crimes; crimes against children; gun crimes and public corruption cases.

President Obama on the South Lawn on Wednesday.

The White House says Obama has an “ongoing commitment to clemency.”

Obama softened Bush’s stance against drug crimes. Where Bush was reluctant to issue pardons for drug trafficking cases, Obama’s policy said pardons should be rare only for “large scale drug trafficking offenses in which the applicant had a significant role.”

But even with a more liberal policy, Obama has granted just 22 drug-related pardons, compared with Bush’s 30.

Obama also added significant financial crimes to cases he would rarely grant pardons on.

Like Bush, Obama maintained a “three-strikes” rule, disfavoring applications where the applicant has three or more criminal convictions.

And while Obama did away with an effective 10-year time limit before someone can apply for a pardon, he expressed a preference for older cases.

“The President believes, however, that where more time has passed since conviction or release, applications will tend to be stronger, in part because the extended time period provides a greater opportunity for the applicant to establish exemplary postconviction conduct and demonstrate true acceptance of responsibility, remorse and atonement,” said the 2010 memo from then-White House counsel Robert Bauer.

But the White House doesn’t just communicate to the pardon office by memo. The kinds of

those working for MGM International Resorts.

The company’s signature property — the MGM Grand — is leveraging the demand from boxing fans and others drawn to the event. This week, the hotel charged $1,550 for a standard room — the same room available for less than $250 last Saturday.

Other hotels charged inflated room rates while the fight promoters and Showtime and HBO — the cable companies offering the fight on pay-per-view — positioned themselves to generate more than $300 million.

“It’s just becoming one giant moneymaking machine,” said Dave Pemberton, director of specialty games for Caesars Entertainment, “and everybody’s getting in where they can.”

Las Vegas figured to be flush with cash after this weekend even without a boxing match. Already on tap: the running of the Kentucky Derby, which attracts scores of horse players and gamblers, and a pre-Cinco de Mayo celebration that lures throngs of

The MGM Grand Hotel and Casino advertises the fight. revelers. Then came Feb. 21, when Mayweather ended five years of frustration for boxing fans by announcing he and Pacquiao had agreed to a fight.

The hotels felt an instant impact, Auerbach said. “Within the

next three days, the city was almost sold out,” he said. “It was unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority offers no projections on hotel occupancy and economic impact, and caution might be wise. Last week, Auerbach said a standard room at Caesars Palace was available for $1,000 for a two-night minimum stay. But Wednesday, a standard room was available for $500 with no minimum night stay, and the MGM rooms had dropped below $500 Thursday.

“We hear there are a lot of people coming to town who just want to be in Las Vegas, who just want to be part of the buzz this grand event is creating,” Cara Clarke of Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce said. “So I think there’s going to be a lot of people coming in just to watch the fight.”

Watching the fight here could prove to be more challenging than finding an affordable hotel room. On the Strip, only the MGM Grand and its nine sister properties will show the fight during viewing parties. The hotel said it took hours to sell out of

tickets, which were priced at $150 per person.

Only four restaurants within 25 miles of Las Vegas were listed online as offering the fight on closed-circuit.

Kornegay, the sports book director at Westgate, reported a steady flow of bets and expected the arrival of high-rollers today.

Though the fight will be available on closed-circuit only at MGM properties on the Strip, all sports books will show the Kentucky Derby, NBA playoffs and NHL playoffs among a full menu of sports events. “It’s like the perfect storm for sports betting,” said Jason Simbal of CG Techology, which operates sports books for eight properties in Las Vegas.

There is money that will be spent in so many other places — restaurants, bars, casinos, nightclubs, limos, cabs. Jason McCormick, Red Rock Resort’s sports book director, had a thought when talking about the imminent arrival of tens of thousands of visitors.

“Hopefully,” he said, “everybody’s getting their tax refund check.”

cases the president takes action on can send just as clear a message, said Margaret Love, who served as pardon attorney in the Clinton administration and now represents federal convicts seeking clemency.

“The White House was sending a clear signal in those early years that they didn’t want anything but old filing-the-edges-off-pennies cases, and so that appears to be the kind of case they got from Justice,” Love said.

Filing edges off of pennies was an actual pardon case: In December 2010, almost two years into his presidency, Obama issued his first nine pardons, including the 1963 coin mutilation case of Ronald Lee Foster.

USA TODAY reported in February that Obama not only was granting fewer pardons than his predecessors — he was also granting them on increasingly older cases. Of his 64 pardons, only five have been for people convicted in the prior 15 years. Since then, Obama has given a number of speeches and interviews explaining why he’s been so stingy with granting pardons, fewer than President Jimmy Carter issued every full year of his presidency.

“I noticed that what I was getting was mostly small-time crimes from very long ago,” Obama told the Huffington Post. Obama said he was “revamping” the pardon office and would be “more aggressive” on pardons.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts talks Thursday about Freddie Gray’s death. rested in demonstrations Wednesday night.

In Baltimore, Amanda David, 41, burst into tears as she told the crowd her 5-year-old son, Micah Allen, is terrified of police. “It breaks your heart as a mother,” she said. “He’s told me: ‘There go the police. ... What are they going to do to us?’ ” The police findings turned over to prosecutors were the result of an investigation by 30 officers,

quiry. “The family of Mr. Gray wants answers. I want answers.

Our entire city deserves answers into Mr. Gray’s death,” the mayor said. “I ask that everyone remain patient and vigilant on this path to justice.”

At a meeting later with civil rights leaders, Rawlings-Blake said she would welcome a Justice Department “collaborative reform” of the police department, but she didn’t want the department to take over the city.

“I know we have problems and I am determined to fix them,” RawlingsBlake said. “We will get justice for Freddie Gray. Believe you me, we will get justice. We are going to do it because we are going to work together.”

“Our entire city deserves answers into Mr. Gray’s death. I ask that everyone remain patient and vigilant on this path to justice.”

Mosby said in a written statement. “We ask for the public to remain patient and peaceful and to trust the process of the justice system.”

Jamal Bryant, pastor of Empowerment Temple in Baltimore, called police “shameful” for telling the public about the report’s release date but not revealing any more details about Gray’s death.

“It’s a contrived, botched public relations campaign from the police department trying to save themselves, their brand, and rewrite the narrative,” Bryant said.

“It’s insulting to the intelligence of the citizens of this city.”

Lifelong Baltimore resident Heber Brown, 34, said police releasing the report a day early shows the power and pressure of the protests that have swelled across the city.

“The police were really hoping this would go away and that people just would forget about it,” Brown, pastor of Pleasant Hope Baptist Church, said. “We have forced the police to do what they didn’t want to do — to submit a report in a timely way and to get on the right track of having some sort of resolution around what happens to these officers.”

IN BRIEF President Obama has picked the University of Chicago to host his future presidential library, according to multiple news reports.

The university, where Obama served as a senior lecturer at the law school, was chosen over Columbia University in New York, the president’s alma mater, the University of Hawaii, and the University of Illinois-Chicago.

Two sites on city parkland in the South Side, near where the Obamas have a family home, have been proposed for the library.

Sources told the Chicago Tribune that it was unclear which site would be chosen.

The University of Chicago would not confirm reports that it had won the contest to host the library.

The Barack Obama Foundation, the organization overseeing the library selection process, also did not immediately respond to request for comment.

POLICE TURN OVER FREDDIE GRAY FINDINGS Hundreds of protesters filled the steps of Baltimore’s City Hall on Thursday, again giving voice to frustration over the death of a young black man in police custody, as the department turned over its investigative findings to prosecutors.

Police Commissioner Anthony Batts declined to make the investigative results public while the state’s attorney determines whether charges will be brought against any of the six suspended police officers involved in Freddie Gray’s arrest. No timetable has been set for that decision.

The latest development comes amid a disputed allegation that a prisoner sharing a police van with Gray, who died of spinal injuries while in police custody, told officers Gray appeared to be trying to injure himself, based on what he heard behind a metal partition inside the van.

The death of Gray, 25, has sparked almost two weeks of protests that turned violent Monday, prompting the governor to call out the National Guard to stop rioters who burned and looted parts of the city. A 10 p.m.-to-5 a.m. curfew was set for a third night Thursday.

As 200 to 300 people demonstrated outside the city’s government offices, similar marches took place in Philadelphia, New York and other cities. New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said 143 people were ar-

Clinton sent the committee 300 emails and provided 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department, then had all the emails on her server deleted. Gowdy had asked that an independent third party examine the server, though he signaled he might be willing to simply accept her assurances.

That said, he raised some doubts about whether Clinton would be in a position to offer those assurances. “I think my first question would be, ‘Madame Secretary, ... how do you know that, because you’re not the one who went through the emails; your lawyer did,’ ” he says. “ ‘So your lawyer has a duty to you. Who with a duty to the public has been through your emails?’ ”

SENTENCES REDUCED FOR 3 IN ATLANTA CHEATING SCANDAL

Three former Atlanta Public Schools administrators who received the harshest sentences earlier this month after being convicted of conspiring to cheat on standardized tests were resentenced Thursday to terms that would allow them to serve only three years in prison.

Judge Jerry Baxter of Fulton County Superior Court, who on April 14 told the former regional directors in the city’s school system that they would serve seven years of a 20-year term, gave Sharon Davis-Williams, Tamara Cotman and Michael Pitts new sentences of 10 years in prison, allowing them to serve three years behind bars with the balance as probation.

Pitts additionally will serve another three-year term, to run concurrently, because he also was convicted on a charge of influencing a witness.

DENVER City officials temporarily halted the sale of millions of dollars worth of legal marijuana because of concerns that unapproved pesticides or fungicides have contaminated it.

Last Friday, city officials placed a “hold” on 60,000 plants at a single grower here after consulting with state agriculture inspectors and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They previously had placed crops from six other facilities on similar holds, allowing plants to keep growing but blocking their sale to consumers.

Some growers have destroyed their crops instead of waiting for test results.

A mature marijuana plant can be worth more than $4,000, but it’s unclear where these plants were in the growing process. Because pot is such a lucrative crop, many growers spray young plants with chemicals. No pesticides have been approved for use on marijuana.

TREVOR HUGHES, USA TODAY

Elan Nelson of the Medicine Man marijuana store shows off the company’s drying room at its Denver facility.

Those pesticides are used routinely on other crops, yet health officials worry those other crops aren’t smoked or eaten in the way marijuana is.

“This is an initiative that Denver is taking on to really make sure consumers do not get into harm’s way,” said Danica Lee of the Denver Department of Environmental Health.

Denver city officials’ actions came after months of waiting for the state to launch its own monitoring program for contaminants.

Health inspectors appear particularly concerned with a product known as Eagle 20, a commercialgrade fungicide not commonly sold in home-improvement or hardware stores, because of potential residue.

Pesticides normally are subject to federally monitored residue testing. But because marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, no one has done those studies.

Neither Colorado nor Washington state, which also has legal recreational marijuana sales, require pesticide or fungicide testing. However, Washington state does test for other contaminants.

Male version of ‘Hooters’ set to open Lashawn Metellus WTSP-TV

If you’re more into six-pack abs than Hooters’ Bunday Monday, a restaurant named Tallywackers promises to open next month in Dallas, perhaps in time for Mother’s Day. Inspired by Hooters, the chain that opened its first location in 1983 in Clearwater, Fla., this eatery will feature “guy eye candy” with its appetizers, hot dogs, pasta dishes and what its owner called comfort foods.

“It’s funny that everyone has asked themselves the same question over time when visiting these venues more related with female eye candy: Why isn’t there a male equivalent?” owner Rodney Duke said Wednesday on The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show on KHKSFM, Dallas.

He said he thought about the idea for a decade, co-owning another bar in the meantime, before pulling the trigger.

Earlier this month, Duke had a five-hour cattle call in Dallas for prospective employees, promoted on Craigslist and ribbed by comics from Comedy Central to Jimmy Fallon.

NEWS MONEY SPORTS Report: Tattoos mess with Apple Watch LIFE AUTOS TRAVEL

5B

USA TODAY - L awrence J ournal -W orld FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2015

Heart rate monitor function can be affected by some Brett Molina and Edward C. Baig USA TODAY

And then there was TattooGate.

Social media is all abuzz with anecdotes and posts on Reddit and Twitter that the Apple Watch sensor that measures heart rate does not work well on some users who have tattoos on their wrists.

“Doubt they asked at checkout if you had any tattoos. ... It’s all about da money yo,” tweeted

Kayla Sweeney.

“It turns out you must choose between a wrist tattoo and an #AppleWatch,” tweeted Steve Burgess.

In fact, the issue has some merit. While not commenting specifically on the reports, Apple directed USA TODAY to its website. “Many factors can affect the performance of the Apple Watch heart rate sensor. ... The ink, pattern, and saturation of some tattoos can block light from the sensor, making it difficult to get reliable readings.”

What is less clear for now is speculation that people of color may also experience trouble with some Apple Watch features.

Though his company hasn’t

completed its tests with the Apple Watch, Steven LeBoeuf a cofounder of Valencell, a producer of biometric sensors, says, “the signal-to-noise ratio when you use light to try and measure blood flow in people as Apple is

doing is much lower in someone who has high melanin content than someone who has low melanin content.” His advice for darkskinned people or people who have tattoos is to try the heart rate monitor and other functions in the Apple Store before buying.

But Shari Lipner, a dermatologist and assistant professor at Weill Cornell, doesn’t believe the watch “would be a problem with African Americans or people with dark skin. This is really a different type of pigment (than) in the tattoos.”

As for people with tattoos, Lipner suggested it would only be an issue if the tattoo is directly below the watch sensors, adding that smartwatch owners with am-

ateur or light colored tattoos also shouldn’t run into snags. But the darker blue or black inks on some tattoos could interfere with how the sensor reads your heart rate, giving users unusual numbers.

USA TODAY tested the Apple Watch on three African Americans in Los Angeles. The heart rate feature worked perfectly.

That’s also been the experience of Dave Walker, who is African American and an owner of an Apple Watch Sport model. Walker told USA TODAY that he has had no problems with the monitor.

“Tattoo ink is very different from skin pigment. I’m not sure why people are confused by that.

I really think this one is really, really overblown.”

While traders have long listened to the advice to ditch stocks in May, there are ways to profit.

If the old saying isn’t for you, here’s what to do Matt Krantz USA TODAY

Investors are conditioned to sell in May and go away. But this adage is causing investors to miss out on some hidden opportunities.

There’s no question May hasn’t been a great month for investors the past five years. The Standard & Poor’s 500 has fallen three out of the past five months of May. And all told, the S&P 500 has declined 2.3% on average in May since 2010, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. Investors might be a bit on edge as May starts today, considering how April ended. Following a 195-point drop to 17,841 Thursday, the Dow Jones industrial average is barely in the black for 2015. The S&P, which set a record just a week ago, now is up just 1.3% for 2015.

But there are ways to profit from the month. After all, there’s nothing innately bad about the

Sell in May ... or stay and play?

month. Stocks have posted 0.2% average gains during the month longer-term, between 1950 and 2014, according to Jeffrey Hirsch of Stock Trader’s Almanac.

“The whole ‘sell in May and go away’ idea is a cute phrase, but people forget about the flip side,” Hirsch says.

There are a few strategies investors can apply who want to play the tricky month of May: uLook for stocks that buck the May gloom. Very few stocks manage to routinely gain in May, but there are two in the S&P 500 that have. Biotech stock Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and discount retailer Dollar Tree have risen during each of the past five months of May. Regeneron has been the third best stock

in May, generating an average gain of 9.1% during the month. uSeek out May winners that are still favorites. There are nine stocks in the S&P 500 that have delivered average gains of 5% or better on average the past five Mays. Analysts are going into May pretty bullish about two of them: Delta Air Lines and computer-chip maker Avago Technologies. Take Delta. The airline has posted average annual gains the past five Mays of 6.7%. uDo nothing. There’s also something to be said about riding it out. Long-term investors who hold stocks for years — not months — can sail through the month no matter what happens if they’re diversified.

Hiring freeze comes at an interesting time: Right before earnings John Shinal

Special for USA TODAY SAN FRANCISCO It’s usually wise to take note of what a public company and its executives say and do just before they release quarterly financial results.

While securities rules limit how much they can share, clues are there for investors who are paying attention.

Last week, for example, reports surfaced that Twitter had ended regular stock sales by executives, a move interpreted as a confidence-building gesture aimed at Wall Street.

Given that Twitter CEO Dick Costolo had sold $35.2 million in Twitter shares since last July, that interpretation made sense.

And yet the timing seemed odd, given that Twitter shares had surged by more than 30% since the start of the year.

Why would the management

of a company whose stock had so much bullish momentum need to build investor goodwill?

The answer to that question came only after Twitter released a financial report and forecast so disappointing that its shares got pummeled by more than 20% in two days.

In the wake of that disaster for Twitter shareholders, the cessation of executive stock sales makes more sense.

This week’s yellow flag for investors was sent up by Alibaba CEO Jack Ma. On Wednesday, it was widely reported Ma had instituted a hiring freeze at the Chinese e-commerce giant. The news came from the transcript of a meeting at which Ma reportedly warned that the company had grown too quickly.

Alibaba’s latest publicly available numbers suggest that’s true.

The company had 34,081 employees as of Dec. 31, or 63% more than the 20,884 it had a year earlier, according to its regulatory filing for the period.

The surging head count helped push Alibaba’s fiscal third-quarter costs up 69%, much faster than

SEAN GALLUP, GETTY IMAGES

The news of a hiring freeze at Alibaba came from a transcript of a meeting at which Jack Ma reportedly warned it had grown too quickly.

revenue growth of 40%. As a result, the company’s operating income as a percentage of revenue (better known as operating margin) shrank to 36% from 47%. Its net income also fell in a big way, dropping 28% from a year earlier, to $5.9 billion.

Early next week, Alibaba is expected to report results for its fiscal fourth quarter. Wall Street analysts are expecting sales to rise 44%, to $2.78 billion, while profit excluding stock compensation costs and other items is seen

at 43 cents a share.

Alibaba shares have fallen 16% since Jan. 28, the day before the company released its numbers for the quarter ended in December.

Those investors who sold Alibaba stock based on the reports, pushing its shares down 3% on Wednesday, are clearly taking a cautious approach. That seems prudent, because if anyone would know whether Alibaba’s costs grew too fast for the quarter ended in March, it would be its CEO. A hiring freeze would be a very unusual move for a fast-growing company like Alibaba — unless its top management was worried about the health of its bottom line.

For Alibaba investors, it’s probably worth asking the following question between now and the close of market on Monday. Why did Jack Ma, less than a week before earnings, feel the need to communicate that the company has firm plans to rein in costs for the upcoming fiscal year?

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

The Dow stalled out in April.

But energy shares rebounded sharply, driven by a big rally in crude oil.

U.S.-based crude hit a 2015 high of $59.63 on the final trading day of April, providing a jumpstart to exchange-traded funds that invest in energy-related shares. Oil has rallied about 20% this month, according to Reuters, for its best monthly gain since May 2009.

While the Dow has run into headwinds, ranging from turbulence in currency markets and a more recent rise in long-term interest rates, energy-related ETFs have had a bounce-back month.

While the Dow has gained around 0.2%, ETFs that track the broad

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

energy sector — including big oil companies like Exxon, which topped profit forecasts Thursday, oil services firms like Schlumberger and exploration names like Pioneer Natural Resources — have rallied 7% or more.

The Energy Select Sector SPDR rose 6.6% in April, erasing a 2% loss in the first three months of 2015. Similarly, iShares U.S. Energy ETF powered ahead 6.9% after a nearly 3% drop in the first quarter.

Oil-related investments have gained steam, thanks to some recent weakness in the dollar, which makes crude cheaper when bought by foreign buyers using other currencies. Many traders are also betting that the global supply glut will ease.

ETFs that track oil drillers also performed well in April. iShares U.S. Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF rallied 7.4%.

Messages are mixed on energy stocks these days Q: Has ExxonMobil hit bottom?

Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Investors watching the implosion of oil prices and oil stocks have been waiting for their entry point. Some appear to think the time is now.

Even after all the hand-wringing going into the earnings reporting season, ExxonMobil managed to beat lowered adjusted quarter profit forecasts by 41%.

Profit sank 44% to $1.17 a share on 37% lower revenue of $67.6 billion. But again, on Wall Street, all that matters is how reality matched up with expectations — and that was seen as a win.

Many investors are trying to find a way to scoop up energy stocks and position themselves for a recovery, without getting pummeled if oil prices slip further. Investors’ trepidation toward energy stocks is clear in the way analysts are evaluating Exxon. Analysts on average have a “hold” rating on Exxon’s shares, which is really a way to urge investors to avoid the shares. But at the same time, analysts have an 18-month price target on Exxon of $95.06. That’s 8.8% upside from Thursday’s closing price of $87.37 a share.

Investors who don’t want to speculate on Exxon can invest in the whole energy sector with an exchange-traded fund called the Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE). Otherwise, keep in mind that energy accounts for 8% of the S&P 500. If you’re diversified, you own energy.

Stock holds on despite a rough first quarter for Big Oil Gary Strauss USA TODAY

Crude oil’s prolonged price slide sank first-quarter earnings of some of the energy sector’s juggernauts. But share prices held up even on a day when the broad market sold off because Wall Street was expecting even steeper losses in the hard-hit sector.

down 50 cents at $87.37 Thursday after the company reported earnings fell to $4.9 billion from $9.1 billion in the year-ago quar-

Revenue sank 36% to $67.6 billion from $106.3 billion.

“ExxonMobil’s balanced portfolio delivered solid financial results in the quarter,” CEO Rex Tillerson said. “Regardless of current market conditions, we remain focused on business fundamentals and competitive advantages that create long-term shareholder value.”

The company cut capital and exploration expenses by nearly 10%, to $7.7 billion, although oil production rose 2.3%, to 2.3 mil-

ExxonMobil also announced a 9.5% increase in its stock dividend.

ConocoPhillips closed down 14 cents at $67.92, despite posting a first-quarter profit of just $272 million, an 87% drop from the $2.12 billion the world’s largest independent energy exploration and producer earned in the yearago quarter. But on a per-share basis, the Houston-based company earned about 19 cents a share, slightly above consensus estimates.

Revenue fell 50% to $7.7 billion from $15.4 billion in the first

quarter of 2014. ConocoPhillips said it realized just $36.96 a barrel for oil in the quarter, down 48% from $71.21 a barrel in the year-ago quarter.

“The significant downturn in prices has been a test for the industry,” said CEO Ryan Lance.

Still, ConocoPhillips said it remains on track to meet its previously stated target of 2% to 3% production growth for the year.

Like its U.S.-based rivals, Holland-based Royal Dutch Shell also had a lousy quarter but beat consensus estimates. The company said earnings dropped 56% and revenue fell 40%.

Rosie O’Donnell split with her wife, Michelle Rounds, in February, and now it sounds as if the divorce is getting contentious. Rounds filed for sole custody of Dakota, 2 — the girl they adopted — Tuesday in New York. She tells ‘Entertainment Tonight’ that the child would live in a “healthier” and “way more protective” environment if she had sole custody. “I just want my child to have the best possible environment to grow up in, a normal life,” Rounds says. “Right now she’s got 24/7 nannies over there at Rosie’s house.” A spokesman for O’Donnell told ‘ET,’ “This is an absurd and desperate attempt to use a child for her own gain.”

‘Avengers’ trio adds emotion to the action A-listers bring bromance and romance to sequel Brian Truitt @briantruitt USA TODAY

Amid the flying magical hammers, psychic blasts and umpteen explosions in Avengers: Age of Ultron lay an epic bromance and an unlikely romance.

The superhero sequel (in theaters today) continues the relationship between scientist buddies Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) from the first Avengers movie. And Banner — and his monstrous green alter ego, the Hulk — finds he has romantic feelings for Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who has a way of taming the raging beast.

The Stark/Banner dynamic found a life off the screen as well with movie fans popularizing the “Science Bros” meme. (Downey and Ruffalo have had fun with it themselves on social media.)

“They’re the two guys who speak science,” director Joss Whedon says of the tech-savvy pair. “It’s a fun little clique to have within the Avengers.”

In Age of Ultron, Avengers Tower is essentially a scientific theme park where the two brainiacs find a home.

Stark “knows it’s always good to check your work with an equal.

That’s where him and Bruce really get along,” says Downey, 50.

ROBERT HANASHIRO, USA TODAY

Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. make up an unorthodox love triangle in Age of Ultron.

“Also, giving Bruce something to do is a good meditation. To keep things the right shade of green.”

Still, Stark and Banner birth the villainous artificial intelligence of Ultron (James Spader) after meddling with questionably ethical discoveries, says executive producer Jeremy Latcham. “They have the best intentions. But it becomes sentient.”

Ruffalo, 47, says he and Downey work so well together because they’re the “old-timers” in the cast. “There’s an ease there that is comfortable for people and fun for us,” the actor says.

“Robert was key in bringing me into the franchise. Certainly when I talked him (before the first Avengers), I was like, ‘I don’t know, Robert,’ and he said, ‘We got this.’ Which is very much the

relationship that Banner and Stark have in a strange way.”

Natasha Romanoff has flirted with Stark and Captain America (Chris Evans) in previous movies, but Banner could be her Mr. Right, Johansson says.

“They finally get this sense of family amongst the Avengers, as dysfunctional as it may be, that they both are looking for,” says Johansson, 30. “Yet they’re both tethered to this greater calling.”

Their emotional scene in a farmhouse — and those where Stark and Banner are just dudes doing experiments — contain the humanity and intimacy Whedon wants at the heart of an actionpacked Avengers movie.

“I start small and get bigger, as opposed to, ‘Well, let’s all fight and then we’ll figure out why.’ ”

March home sales spike 30 percent in Lawrence LIZ WESLANDER

Hometown Lawrence

The Lawrence real estate market was in full bloom during the month of March with a 29.7-percent rise in total home sales compared to the prior year.

The only thing that local realtors could ask for at this point is more homes to sell.

Sales in March 2015 totaled 83 units, up from 64 in 2014.

Among existing homes, 80 units sold in March, an increase of 31.1 percent from 61 units that sold in 2014. The average sale price of existing homes was $209,298.

This represents an increase of 8.3 percent from the March 2014 average price of $193,238.

“Many homes are selling very quickly right now, and we really need more homes on the market,” said Crystal Swearingen, President of the Lawrence Board of Realtors.

The inventory of active listings in the city of Lawrence stood at

Offered by: Shelley Ezell Cheri Ezell 785-550-4636 785-979-3302

326 units at the beginning of March, which is down from 374 homes that were on the market at the beginning of March last year. At the current rate of sales, this figure represents 3.9 months’ supply of homes on the market.

“We continue to have a shortage of existing homes for sale,” said Swearingen. “A balanced market will typically have a five- to six-month supply of homes, and we have been operating with less than a 4-month supply.”

For new construction, three sales occurred in March, essentially unchanged from the prior year. The average sale price of new homes in March was $270,423, down 41.1 percent from the same period last year.

A total of 159 contracts for sale were written in March 2015, up from 121 in March 2014. This

Many homes are selling very quickly right now, and we really need more homes on the market” — Crystal Swearingen, president of the Lawrence Board of Realtors is an increase of 31.4 percent.

Contracts written during the month reflect, in part, sales that will close in the near future.

L awrence J ournal -W orld

Mother fears anti-gay comments at wedding Dear Annie: My youngest son is engaged to “Carol,” a lovely young lady. My oldest son, “Mitch,” lives out of state with his partner, “James.”

Both are in the wedding party.

Carol has known Mitch for years, is well aware that he’s gay and has no problem with it. However, I’m relatively sure her parents don’t know, and I’m of the opinion that they need to be told before the big event. I’ve tried to casually bring it up with Carol several times, and she always smiles and says, “Don’t worry about Mom and Dad,” and then changes the subject.

The truth of the matter is, I don’t worry about them.

They are charming people and pillars of

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

anniesmailbox@comcast.net

the community. But I don’t want them to be shocked at the wedding when meeting the gay brother and his same-sex spouse.

Mitch and James are not into public displays of affection, but they’re obviously not going to ignore each other. Considering the idiotic things people can say, I think Carol’s parents need to be prepared. At my daughter’s wedding

Sellek stays busy with ‘Blue Bloods,’ ‘Jesse Stone’ Danny has a hard time keeping his emotions in check on the fifth season finale of “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS). Although this police drama, starring Tom Selleck, has yet to be officially renewed, the ratings experts and tea leaf-sifters at TV by the Numbers believe it’s highly likely to return.

The “Jesse Stone” movie franchise, also starring Selleck, will certainly be back.

But not on CBS. According to Variety, the next “Jesse Stone” movie, “Lost in Paradise,” will begin production this month, after “Blue Bloods” closes shop for the season. “Paradise,” based on the characters created by the late novelist Robert B. Parker, will air on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel in the fall.

O Ratings aren’t everything, but when they fail to materialize, they become a big deal. The audience for “The Messengers” (8 p.m., CW) is staggeringly tiny.

It’s never good when a national audience for a primetime network series is measured in the thousands. The comic book-esque apocalypse fantasy attracted roughly three quarters of a million viewers in total and roughly 200,000 in the coveted 18-49 audience. Apparently, nobody’s enraptured by “The Messengers.”

O Speaking of select audiences, the streaming services Hulu and Hulu Plus will begin streaming programming from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim franchise today. So look for “Rick and Morty,” “Black Jesus” and “NTSF:SD:SUV.”

Tonight’s other highlights: O Hard work is its own reward on “The Amazing Race” (7 p.m., CBS).

O A series of gruesome deeds seem copied from Jack the Ripper on “Grimm” (7 p.m., NBC).

O An air-powered car gets a showcase on “Shark Tank” (7 p.m., ABC). A former contestant discusses his progress on “Beyond the Tank” (8 p.m., ABC).

O Liam Neeson delivers catchphrases with ominous deliberation in the 2008 thriller “Taken” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Kono finds herself adrift on “Hawaii Five-0” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Chris Pratt stars in last year’s big comic book hit “Guardians of the Galaxy” (8 p.m., Starz).

BIRTHDAYS Country singer Sonny James is 86. Singer Judy Collins is 76.

Country singer Tim McGraw is 48. Movie director Wes Anderson is 46.

years ago, an uncle of her new husband cornered her at the reception and strongly suggested she consider adoption “just in case it’s hereditary.”

I’m considering inviting Carol’s mother to lunch and laying the cards on the table, but my other kids insist I need to stay out of it.

Even James, who basically agrees with me, says it has to be Carol’s decision. Is he right?

Carol’s parents are going all out for this wedding, and I wouldn’t want a surprise like this to upset them. What to do? — Mother of the Groom

to Carol if he thinks her parents need this information in advance. And while surprises should be kept to a minimum at weddings, we don’t really see a problem here.

Mitch and James won’t be doing anything disruptive, and there’s nothing you can do about ignorant people like your daughter’s uncle-in-law. You are over-thinking this.

Relax. Trust your son and his bride to handle the details, whatever they are.

Dear Mother: Your heart is in the right place, but you are talking to the wrong — Send questions to people. Your soon-toanniesmailbox@comcast.net, be-married son is the or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box person who should talk

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Friday, May 1: This year you have a flair for diplomacy. You seem to choose the right words without saying anything too dramatic or harsh.

Your actions follow that same theme, especially when initiated by you. If you are single, date all you want. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy just hanging out together.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ++++ Someone of authority could be very controlling. You will surprise this person with your unpredictability. Tonight: Uncork your imagination.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++++ You could overextend yourself in an effort to turn a situation around. Call a loved one.

Tonight: Join friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ Your originality mixed with ingenuity will prove to be today’s problem-solver. Tonight: Be a wild thing.

Chiefs Self ‘proud’ of top rookie Wiggins gamble, select corner Peters

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas City, Mo. (ap) — The Kansas City Chiefs were willing to take a chance on Marcus Peters.

He intends to prove the gamble was worth it.

The Chiefs selected the former Washington cornerback with the No. 18 pick in the NFL Draft Thursday night, fully confident that Peters has matured after repeated run-ins with new Huskies coach Chris Petersen that led to his dismissal midway through last season.

“I didn’t handle the coaching change well and I took full responsibility for that,” Peters said. “I just owned up to it. I told them, ‘If you take me, I’m going to give you my all.’”

The 6-foot, 190-pound Peters was considered one of the top defensive backs in the draft, but his situation at Washington resulted in red flags going up all around the league.

With that in mind, his agent Doug Hendrickson encouraged Peters to visit any team that wanted to meet him. The result was a whirlwind tour of the league — and countless questions about his past — that included a stop in Kansas City with coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey.

As the draft approached, Dorsey dispatched on of his top lieutenants, Chris Ballard, to meet with Peters and his family at their home in Oakland. With any lingering character questions put to rest, the Chiefs decided to go forward with the pick when they were put on the clock.

“We all make mistakes at times in life. Marcus realizes that,” Reid said. “We feel comfortable he realizes that. It was an emotional situation and he didn’t handle it the right way. I think he’s learned from it, just from our experience with him.”

Off-the-field issues aside, Peters’s ability is undeniable.

He started the last eight games of his freshman season, became the Huskies’ regular cornerback by his sophomore year, and had three interceptions in his first eight games as a junior.

All told, Peters made 129 tackles and picked off 11 passes in just 34 games.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins on Thursday became the second player out of Kansas University to be named NBA Rookie of the Year.

Wilt Chamberlain earned the accolade with the Philadelphia Warriors in 195960.

“We’re all so proud of Andrew. He obviously had a fabulous rookie season and showed he has the potential

to be a great pro,” KU coach Bill Self said Thursday. “He represented Kansas basketball in a big way and is a great ambassador for us.

Him winning the rookie of the year will certainly allow him to continue to be a great representative for our program.”

Wiggins — he and Danny Manning (1988) are the only two KU players in history to be tapped No. 1 overall in the draft — averaged 16.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in 82 games for Minnesota af-

ter averaging 17.1 ppg and setting KU’s all-time freshman scoring mark (597 points) in his one season at KU. Wiggins and adidas on Thursday introduced the Crazylight Boost 2015 — Andrew Wiggins Rookie of the Year Edition. Adidas states that the basketball shoe was inspired by Wiggins’ path from Canada to the NBA.

FREE STATE HIGH SWIMMERS GET PUMPED UP for a home quadrangular on Thursday at FSHS. The Firebirds won the event.

Seniors lead way to quad victory

By Chris Duderstadt cduderstadt@ljworld.com

Free State High’s girls swim and dive team had not lost a meet all year going into the FSHS quadrangular Thursday, and the Firebirds had no plans of changing that on the team’s Senior Night.

The Firebirds scored 515 points and won 11 of 12 events to win their quad against Lawrence High (345), Olathe South (267) and Shawnee Mission North (173).

While the FSHS seniors

were excited for their final home meet, they’re still focused more on what lies ahead.

“It was the last time I swam at home, and it was emotional at some points,” senior Courtney Caldwell said. “But we still have league and state to work toward, and we’re pretty excited about that.”

Caldwell won the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke and also helped the Firebirds win the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. The 200 freestyle relay had a little extra meaning to

Caldwell, as she was joined by fellow seniors Kat LaFever, Alexa Malik and Eliza Anderson.

“It was really fun. We didn’t even realize until yesterday,” Caldwell said. “We were like, ‘We should probably do a senior relay,’ and it was a lot of fun to be able to have all of us on there.”

The N.C. State signee was not the only Firebird who won multiple events. Ava Cormaney won the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke, and Cierra Campbell won the

100 butterfly and 500 freestyle. Alvena Walpole (200 freestyle) and Sydney Sirimongkhon-Dyck (50 freestyle) wrapped up the Free State individual champions.

Everything for the Firebirds was kick-started by Janet Stefanov, Cormaney, Walpole and Campbell beginning the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay.

Lawrence softball slugs SM North

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Most of Lawrence High’s softball players are known for their hitting, and they proved why Thursday against Shawnee Mission North.

The Lions exploded for 13 hits in an 11-4 victory at LHS and have won seven of their last nine games. They’ve scored at least 10 runs in those seven wins.

The first five LHS batters — Morgan Byrn, Annie Grammer, Sophie Taylor, Jolona Shield and Brook Sumonja — reached base to

open the bottom of the first inning. Grammer hit an RBI triple to deep center field, Taylor had a RBI single to left, and Shield added a RBI double to left.

After a loss Tuesday against Olathe Northwest, the Lions (8-6) wanted to jump to a quick lead.

“Everyone was frustrated on Tuesday,” Taylor said.

“It was a home game, and we haven’t had one in a while, and everyone was real exRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo cited, and people were feeling good today.

‘Stud’ Lowery lifts LHS baseball

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High junior Daonte Lowery is playing baseball on a different level than everyone else, like he’s playing chess and everyone else is playing checkers.

It’s his world, and everyone else is just living in it.

Lowery dominated at the plate, going 4-for-5 with four RBIs and finishing a home run short of the cycle.

He was just as good on the mound, surrendering one run in five inning during a 10-3 victory over Leavenworth on Thursday at LHS.

His heroics are nothing new. The 5-foot-11, 165-pound left-hander also scored the game-winning run in Tuesday’s victory over Shawnee Mission Northwest, and he tossed six shutout innings in a win Saturday.

“Oh my goodness, Daonte Lowery, what a stud,” senior Nyle Anderson said. “I mean, what was he, 4-for-5 today? He’s a stud. Him on the mound, I don’t know how to explain it, it’s great for us. He finds his locations, pitches well, and his Please see BASEBALL, page 3C

“It was definitely a tough

The Associated Press

Bulls 120, Bucks 66 Milwaukee — The Chicago Bulls finally delivered a knockout blow to the Milwaukee Bucks — not literally, although it sure seemed to come close at times. And for all of Chicago’s star power, it was Mike Dunleavy in the middle of it all.

Dunleavy scored 20 points, and the Bulls came close to an NBA playoff record, finally winning by 54 points in Game 6 to clinch their first-round series Thursday night.

Dunleavy seemed to have his biggest impact away from the ball, getting under the young Bucks’ skins with physical play that drew retaliation.

“They had some momentum in the series, won a couple in a row,” Dunleavy said. “We came out on their court and put it on them. That’s frustrating. If anybody’s been there before, that’s frustrating, and I understand that.”

The Bulls, who move on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round, finished four points from the NBA playoff record for largest margin of victory. Minnesota beat St. Louis 133-75 on March 19, 1956.

“It looks a lot better when the ball goes in,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “The thing that you want to make sure of is, sometimes you don’t have control over when the ball goes in or doesn’t go in. If they are the right shots, you want to shoot them. You do have control over your intensity, your concentration.”

The game was over early, but it still featured plenty of the intensity and bad blood that marked the first five games of the series. Dunleavy drew the

Minneapolis (ap) — Dressed in a Navy blue tuxedo with shiny black lapels, Andrew Wiggins certainly looked the part while collecting his NBA Rookie of the Year Award Thursday.

He looked even better on the court in his first season in the league.

Wiggins became the first Minnesota Timberwolves player to win the rookie of the year, and he did it in a landslide. He received 110 of 130 first-place votes and had 604 points in the voting. Chicago’s Nikola Mirotic finished second, and Philadelphia’s Nerlens Noel was third.

“It means a lot to me. I know it means a lot to the organization and there’s a whole lot of history,” Wiggins said. “It should bring a lot of hope for the future of the Minnesota Timberwolves. It should give people a different look at things. This is the uprising. We’ve got a lot of young talent.”

After coming to the Timberwolves in the trade that sent

Kevin Love to Cleveland, Wiggins averaged 16.9 points and 4.6 rebounds while playing all 82 games.

Wiggins was drafted No. 1 overall by the Cavaliers last summer and has been a heavily hyped prospect since he was a teenager growing up in Toronto. He lived up to that in his first year in the NBA, emerging as the new centerpiece of a franchise that has not made the playoffs for 11 straight years.

“When I first came here a couple years ago, I met with (owner Glen Taylor) and said the No. 1 thing we had to do to build a franchise and develop that culture was to get a gamechanging type player,” coach and team president Flip Saunders said. “A player that was a two-way type player that could play offense, could play defense. Last year, Aug. 23, when we traded for Andrew Wiggins we got that type of player. And we were ready and set to go.”

The Timberwolves started the summer in an incredibly difficult position, with Love

wanting to be traded and the team in yet another in a seemingly endless line of rebuilding projects. Then something unfamiliar happened — a stroke of luck in their favor.

After a good freshman season at Kansas, Wiggins was drafted No. 1 overall last June by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Not long after, James decided to leave Miami and return home to Cleveland, setting up a possible pairing with Wiggins. The two shared something in common as super-hyped teenagers and No. 1 picks, but his stay in Cleveland was short-lived.

Timberwolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders demanded Wiggins be a part of the package. The Cavaliers relented and sent Wiggins and Anthony Bennett to Minnesota in a three-team deal that netted them Love.

FREE STATE HIGH STARTING PITCHER TREVOR MUNSCH DELIVERS to an Olathe Northwest batter during the first inning of the Firebirds’ 2-0 loss on Thursday at FSHS.

Ravens silence Free State ————

Firebirds held to four hits in 2-0 setback

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

After six innings of scoreless baseball Thursday night at Free State High, the Firebirds and visiting Olathe Northwest looked poised for a long, extra-inning battle.

Ravens ace Austin Hansen had kept FSHS hitters off balance, as expected out of the senior who has committed to Oklahoma.

Free State starter Trevor Munsch and reliever Casey Hearnen, meanwhile, kept pace, limiting mistakes and eliminating base-runners.

Finally, in the top of the seventh, ONW senior Saige Killion’s one-out triple to the right-field gap set the Ravens up for a gritty 2-0 win.

ONW senior Justin Ward drove in the goahead run, a walk and an error led to another score, and Free State (11-4) couldn’t pull off a bottom-of-the seventh miracle after loading the bases with two outs.

Senior right-hander Hansen only gave up four hits, and two were infield

offspeed is great. He just does what he does real well.”

Lowery gave himself some run support in the first inning, hitting a leadoff double, stealing third base and scoring on a sacrifice fly by junior Brad Kincaid.

After giving up a solo home run to Leavenworth senior Nate Amos in the second inning, Lowery drilled a basesloaded triple in the bottom half of the frame, scoring sophomore Jacob Unruh and seniors Langston Bush and Nate Hulse.

That’s all the help Lowery would need as he settled down on the mound and had strong control of his fastball.

“Two quality outings.

That’s what we need,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said of his star junior pitcher. “That’s our expectations of him. He throws strikes. His pace has gotten better. He used to work a little too slow, which would drive us all crazy.”

Lowery said it was “probably” his best day at the plate in his high school career, but he’s focused on making sure the Lions can keep winning.

It the first time they’ve

hits well, the next person hits well, and it’s a chain reaction.”

The bats weren’t quite as dominant in the following innings, but the Lions continued to score.

Taylor hit an RBI single in the second inning, scoring Byrn, before making it all the way around the bases following a throwing error.

In the third, senior Kenzie Garvin hit a leadoff single and scored on a two-out single by senior Megan Sumonja. Shield added an RBI double, and sophomore Rhi Emerson hit an RBI single in the fourth inning.

“We come out on fire.

We’ve just got to get some consistency,” LHS coach Joe Dee Tarbutton said. “We get a little relaxed.”

Taylor, a junior shortstop who earned Sunflower League Newcomer of the Year honors last year, has been the catalyst at the top of the lineup. Tuesday’s loss was the first game this season she didn’t record multiple hits or an RBI, but she returned to her dominant ways Thursday, going 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two RBIs. “Tuesday was a little bit rough, and I was definitely disappointed,” Taylor said. “So I wanted to make sure today I

came back and got confidence back.”

Meanwhile, Shield was frustrating the Indians with her pitches. She allowed just one earned run in seven innings, striking out five. SM North scored three runs in the sixth inning, aided by a pair of LHS errors.

When Shield is in the zone, not much can faze her. Not even when she’s forced to change catchers. After freshman Darian Chamberlain was forced to exit the game in the fourth inning, Garvin moved behind the plate for the first time since the eighth grade. Garvin promptly tossed out two runners attempting to steal second base.

“It’s been awhile, but it was fun,” said Garvin, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and hit a tworun double in the sixth inning.

“Jo threw a great game for us, and we played some good defense,” Tarbutton added. “But our hitting will only get better. Some of our better hitters have peeled off a little bit, and some of our other ones have stepped up, which is a good thing.”

rific” in the loss. Hearnen picked off senior Sam Harding at first base in the sixth, and Munsch made two tough defensive plays in the fifth, including a come-backer that he astutely turned into an inning-ending double play.

The left-handed junior, making his first appearance in a month after injuring his throwing elbow, threw five innings, only walked one ONW batter, gave up four hits and had two strikeouts.

Munsch predicted the Firebirds, who had won seven of their previous eight, wouldn’t let the narRichard Gwin/Journal-World Photo row defeat get to them.

innings. Needing a home run to hit for the cycle, Lowery drilled an RBI double in the fifth inning, scoring freshman Devin Lauts.

“The main thing is I thought we played with confidence and played with a little attitude,” Stoll said. “We challenged

them to not let Tuesday define our season. We’ve got to keep rolling. We’ve got to keep finding ways to win. It was a great effort tonight by a lot of people.”

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cards clobber Phils ————

Adams’ homer sparks St. Louis The Associated Press

National League Cardinals 9, Phillies 3 St. Louis — Matt Adams had three hits, including a tiebreaking, two-run homer, and St. Louis overcame a short outing by Tim Cooney in his major-league debut to beat Philadelphia on Thursday for its third straight win.

Cooney, a 24-year-old left-hander brought up from Triple-A Memphis before the game, was given a 3-0 lead but lasted 21⁄3 innings, allowing three runs and seven hits.

Carlos Villanueva (21) followed and retired all 10 batters he faced.

The Cardinals bullpen retired 19 of 21 hitters during 61⁄3 innings of one-hit relief.

With the score 3-3 in the third, Adams hit a two-run homer off David Buchanan (0-5), who became the first Philadelphia pitcher to lose his first five starts in a season since Kyle Abbott in 1992.

Buchanan gave up seven runs, eight hits and three walks in 41⁄3 innings.

ST. LOUIS’ MATT ADAMS, RIGHT, WATCHES his two-run home run as Philadelphia catcher Cameron Rupp looks on during the Cardinals’ 9-3 victory Thursday in St. Louis.

American League Angels 6, Athletics 5 Oakland, Calif. — Kole Calhoun had two hits and three RBIs, Garrett Richards took a shutout into the seventh inning, and Los Angeles held on to beat Oakland.

Erick Aybar, Johnny Giavotella and David Freese also drove in runs for the Angels, who have won five of seven.

Mark Canha drove in three runs, two on a homer, as the A’s lost for the sixth time in seven games, matching their worst start in Oakland history at 9-14.

Richards (2-1) was pulled after Josh Reddick singled to open the seventh and was charged with a run after Canha’s home run off Mike Morin. Richards gave up four hits, walked three and struck out five.

Home finale awaits KU softball seniors

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Time is running out on the Kansas University softball team’s regular season. Senior pitcher Alicia Pille has the X’s to prove it.

Just last week, realizing the Jayhawks are getting closer by the minute to a second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, the KU ace from Royse City, Texas, grabbed a marker, applied it to the mirror in her room and wrote out each of the remaining series on KU’s schedule.

“Oh my gosh,” she thought. “I only have 11 games — 11 guaranteed games — left.”

That number now stands at six, with No. 17 Baylor coming to Arrocha Ballpark at Rock Chalk Park for the Jayhawks’ final home series this weekend.

Game 1 starts at 5 p.m. today.

Every time Kansas (3510) plays, Pille marks off another X to remind herself: “Take advantage of this. It’s almost over.”

She and fellow seniors Maddie Stein and Chanin Naudin certainly have made the most of their four years at Kansas.

They comprised the first recruiting class of nowfifth-year KU coach Megan Smith.

“When those three girls walked on to campus,”

Pille

Stein

Smith said, “our program changed.”

Like Pille, third baseman Naudin and first baseman Stein played immediately as freshmen.

“What a strong group to come in,” Smith said, “and lead that charge of turning our program around.”

In 2014, the trio and their teammates led KU to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in

eight seasons, and the Jayhawks finished 34-23.

They’ve already surpassed that win total Naudin this season and even earned a top-25 ranking for the first time since 2011.

Naudin, of Princeton, Texas, found it fitting their final spring in Lawrence has included playing at a “beautiful” brandnew facility.

“It’s been a great year,” she said. “As a freshman, I never would’ve pictured this.”

Pille (21-4, 2.84 ERA, 165 Ks, 1622⁄3 innings pitched

this season), Stein (.372 batting average, 15 doubles, 40 RBIs) and Naudin (.277 average, 30 runs, .947 fielding percentage, 78 assists) lead on and off the field, according to fellow senior Beth Wilson, a junior-college transfer in her second season at Kansas.

“No one could be watching,” Wilson shared, “and they’re still working really hard and doing what they’re supposed to be doing to get better — not for themselves, but also for the team.”

Pille said she chose KU because she wanted to be on the ground floor of starting something special.

“To see how the program has grown makes me so happy,” she said, smiling. “I can’t even put it into words.”

Stein, from Oklahoma City, said the ownership the three seniors feel with everything KU has accomplished lately continues to drive them.

“More than anything, we know where the program’s been, where it’s going and where we eventually want it to end up,” Stein said, adding they hope to pass that knowledge and leadership skills on to their talented younger teammates.

“That way what we’ve all envisioned can still be carried through.”

Chicago (ap) — Even with significant off-field baggage, Jameis Winston was the first pick in the NFL Draft Thursday night.

With no such issues, Marcus Mariota went second.

You don’t pass up a potential franchise quarterback in today’s passhappy NFL. So Florida State’s Winston is headed to Tampa Bay and Oregon’s Mariota goes to Tennessee at No. 2. They’ll take their Heisman Trophies (Winston in 2013, Mariota last year) and try to turn two downtrodden franchises into contenders, maybe even champions.

“The challenge is just being an NFL player, period. I’m not worried about any off-the-field situations or even on-thefield situations,” Winston said.

“I’m just worried about living this new lifestyle and just developing into a great man for the Tampa Bay community for my teammates, because it’s all for them and it’s all for the success of this franchise.”

While Mariota has been a model citizen, some questioned his having barely taken any snaps behind center in

Oregon’s quick-tempo attack. But Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt, who has done big things with such veteran quarterbacks as Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner and Philip Rivers, clearly isn’t concerned.

“He’s a talented young man who has a very good feel for the position and how to process those things,” Whisenhunt said, “and we’re excited to get a chance to work with him.”

Naturally, Mariota isn’t worried about the doubters, either.

“I believe in my abilities and the hard work that I’ve put in,” he said.

“And that’s one thing is that I can’t control other people’s opinions. I’ve just got to do what I can do and that’s putting in the hard work and getting ready for the next chapter. People are always going to have their opinions and say what they want to say.”

Tampa has the receivers to help Winston in Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, both of whom went over 1,000 yards last year despite shoddy quarterbacking.

Tennessee can’t make the same claim.

Each of those teams went 2-14 in 2014, but

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1C

Peters was the third cornerback taken in the first round, going two spots after the Houston Texans chose Kevin Johnson out of Wake Forest. He fills an immediate need for the Chiefs, who face losing Sean Smith to a suspension for a drunken-driving arrest and were planning to have unproven cornerbacks Phillip Gaines and Jamell Fleming competing for the other starting job.

“Not only is it an important position from a defensive standpoint, but we also don’t have a lot of numbers there,” Reid said. “You take that also into consideration.”

Since arriving in Kansas City a few years ago, Reid and Dorsey have earned a reputation for their willingness to give players with checkered backgrounds a second chance.

Tight end Travis Kelce had been suspended at Cincinnati before the Chiefs chose him in the third round two years ago, while defensive back Sanders Commings had run into problems at Georgia before they picked him in the fifth

Gaines was taken in the third round a year ago, despite an arrest for possession of marijuana that led to a suspension at Rice.

Reid said that each of those situations was unique, and the fact that none of them have gotten into trouble since arriving in Kansas City proves the Chiefs had done their due diligence.

coaches Smith and Whisenhunt, in their first seasons in charge, survived the awful record.

Now, they presumably have the main building tool.

Winston and Mariota, who each had a year of eligibility remaining, will meet in the season opener in Tampa Bay. Neither quarterback was in Chicago, choosing to watch — and celebrate — at home with their families. It was the sixth time since 1967 that quarterbacks went 1-2, and this was no surprise.

It wasn’t a surprise to see Washington CB Marcus Peters or Missouri DE Shane Ray go in the opening round, although both bring questions about personal behavior to the NFL that dropped them a bit. Peters went 18th to Kansas City, Ray 23rd to Denver, which traded up five slots to get him.

Ray was cited for marijuana use on Monday, and said he “will learn from my mistake.”

Coincidentally, marijuana has been legalized in Colorado.

Nebraska linebacker Randy Gregory, who failed a marijuana test at the NFL combine, was not chosen.

want to do,” Reid said.

“Then come out and let your instincts take over, how you feel about that player.”

Dorsey said that the Chiefs followed their mantra of taking “the best player available,” and that they received three calls from teams trying to move up and one to move down.

We feel we got a really quality player,” said Dorsey, who estimates the Chiefs spoke with about 20 people about Peters. “I think it’s an example of us doing our extensive research in terms of what his person is all about. But as a player, there is no doubt in my mind.”

The Chiefs still have nine picks in this year’s draft to address a host of other needs, among them wide receiver, the offensive line and inside linebacker. Three of those picks come Friday — a second-rounder and two third-round picks, one of them a compensatory selection.

Dorsey may have even dropped a hint about the Chiefs’ plans going forward.

“Actually, we were just talking about that,” he said with a grin. “I was looking at the list of wide receivers and said, ‘Huh, there’s some still there.’”
